I have some Kernel wakelocks that I can't find anything about they are named mhl_wake_lock and hostd. They both are keeping the device awake around 75% so currently it shows 4 hours since unplugged and 3 hours wake lock for both processes. It's noticeably draining the battery.. any ideas?

What app are you using to determine it? Use betterbatterystats. It will give better info about it.

If you've plugged in an usb otg cable or mhl cable, just reboot your phone after removing them to avoid wakelocks they cause.

My Note 2 to you
Wasn't there an issue where if you unmount otg via the notification you got this wakelock but from settings, no wakelock?
Something like that. Search here for otg wakelock

For a while my phone is taking a lot much time to charge than it usually take earlier.
So today i installed this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
And after i connect my mobile to charger this app usually shows that my phone is having max current:400/500 which shud be 999 instead. (Read app description)
After i disconnect charger and connect it back 3-4 times i get a rating of 700 or sometimes even 900(max) but after letting the mobile charge for a while this automatically decreases to 300-400.
And also from the time i bought the phone(4 months back) charger usually gets somewhat hot(not warm) but i ignored that issue.
So what do u think the fault is in-charger/phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Do not use such an application, let the phone discharge to zero to turn off and recharge to full.
mostly help.Please use the phone menu
charging problems are mainly related to cable!
sent from my GT-I9300 running Mac OS
The app has 10000+ downloads and my friend suggested so i thought of giving it a try
After the battery fully discharges and phone turn off shud i turn on the phone after connecting to charger or shud i let be off till it charges completely?

No need to use this.
just delete the cache occasionally a classic way to charge your phone battery runs down.
It does not have to be zero!!
yeah me too using BB cable. better than many original samsung cables.

If you do calibrate batteries and erase cache, the system will be as before.

I had this for ages and it was draining my battery really bad and I discovered it started when I had my tablet plugged into an extended usb cable into my charger but it ran out of battery and wasn't the same since and just charging to 100% didn't get rid of it or rebooting or brushing the usb port (some suggestions I found on Google and Xda)
I searched google and xda for answers but didn't get any so what I did was charge my battery to 100% and then callibrate my battery and the wakelock disappeared
This happened with my note 10.1 but thought I'd post this here to help anyone who has this wakelock for the for the galaxy s3
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk 2
Try to unplug the charger when phone is unlocked. Then reboot the phone. Now check in BetterBatteryStats for this wakelock.
I had this wakelock issue on my previous S2.
Sent Via I9300, Stock XXUFME7, 4.2.2.
It happens when you use a faulty usb cable or extension cable and the phone or tablet doesn't charge but when you unplug the cable it still thinks it's charging but it's not, the vbus wakelock is a usb charging wakelock, rebooting does nothing I had the wakelock for two weeks until I got rid of it and when I searched on Google and xda nobody knew how to get rid of it

Thats ok, no need to go formal on me
Check the current reaching your device using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
If the charging port works as it should, you suppose to see value of 900-1100 in the 'avg' row (assuming you're using original 1A charger and cable), otherwise it should be much lower.

Hi,
I've got a S2 that is slow at charging (like 1% or 2% every hour) but I've tried multiple batteries, multiple chargers, reset the battery stats, changed rom but nothing is fixing it.
Any ideas as to what it could be? (I've ordered a new charging port as it was only £5 so that should be here Monday) but what other things could it be and is there a way to charge the battery externally? (not in the phone?)

Yup worked perfectly I also stuck a new battery in and it lasted so much longer
I don't know what's going on anymore. I've used countless different chargers and usb cables and they don't work (literally, they work with other phones, just not mine). I have cleaned the inside of the phone's charging port, nothing. I have got the port repaired at a shop, it did work, but not any more. My phone does not charge at an amperage higher than 100mA on any charger, it starts at 900mA then decreases in a matter of seconds. According to another battery monitor my phone is discharging at 15% an hour. This is crazy for me as I could get my phone to last 24+ hours on a single charge a few days ago (I use greenify). Also, my phone is always hot, according to GSam battery monitor and various other monitors, well over 50 degrees Celsius. I'm running the latest version of Resurrection Remix for the SGS3 (android 4.4.2). If any other information is required I'd me more than happy to provide it.

If you mean moving the usb plug around causes the charging to stop then that is the usb socket damaged, if the same with several chargers/leads.
Replace the battery first, they last a year at best.

Yup, I definitely know the socket is damaged, paid £20, got it fixed, worked for a while. I'll pay the guy a visit in the next few days. As for the battery, I'll replace it because 50 degrees Celsius in my hands doesn't feel pleasant. I've been looking around on Amazon, but I can't find any sold by Amazon themselves as instructed.

You can also visit a local mobile store that sells genuine goods and buy a battery.
If the port got damaged too soon, then maybe the guy didn't repair it properly.

Ah ok, I have a few stores in mind, I'll do that then.
When I bring my phone back to him I hope he does repair it properly, issues I've been having have caused so much disruption.
On a side note, I put my phone to charge and it started off at 1000mA, within a few minutes it went down to 800mA, a few seconds later (basically as I've been writing this message it's gone down to 300mA... Is this normal? I only started using a current monitoring app since my problems started, so the currents I was getting before prior to the issues are unknown.
EDIT: Nope. Not normal. Charger connected: 100mA. Phone is discharging at 1% every few minutes & feels like it's about to spontaneously combust.

Battery's definitely gone mate.
If your phone supports NFC, you can use that to check if the battery's genuine or not. Original replacements have embedded NFC.
only drop in mAh was when i buyed 2 m cable from ebay (dont do that) for charging ..and it didn't work ...but now i bought hama 1.8m cable and it works flawlessly....i use galaxy current to see how many mAh phone gets but ...you sould definetly buy a new battery ...it could damage your phone
