My fascinate has been running beautifully. I just transferred to blackhole 4.4 from sc 2.9.2, w/ jt's 4-15 uv ED10 voodoo kernel (previously on imnuts's 100mv drop voodoo) and ec01 radio. My main issue is battery. On any given day for the past few months, under battery usage, android system is always second. It seems that Abdoid system and os eaxh download over 10KB per minute, and up to a few megabytes an hour. They also have extremely high CPU usage times, and I believe this is killing my battery (between 6 and 10 percent an hour idling w/ the screen off) I think such drain is extremely weird. I've tried reflashing, disabling autosync, and disabling autobackup, but I still at am about a MB per hour. Any suggestions? Carrying around a charger really sucks...

This would certainly fit nicely in Q&A. Just sayin ....
Did you sign yourself out of google talk yet? And disable the auto start of talk?
I also uncheck that "not very clear" option in display settings at the bottom.
And the news and Weather auto refreshes on its own unless you disable that..
And then there is Juice defender..

I think it has something to do with the 4-15 Kernel. That build for some odd reason has battery issues. I would flash the kernel before that.

I tried it all, nothing's fixed the huge system data usage.
I've been using all sorts of different combos of roms and finally went back to locked MOF rom based off 2.3.5. But with no 4g in my new residence I'd like to go back to ICS. With this being said, which of the newly updated ICS rom have the best stand alone (not being assisted by any apps) battery life?

It really will be determined by what you plan to use on your phone? Any of the roms can give great or terrible battery life. I build the MIUI for the mighty little Photon. I love it, and the battery life is good enough for my liking overall (avg around 10 hours on an Anker 1600mAh battery). If you want better battery life, use the following:
1) Keep screen timeout down to under 30 seconds. Havina this screen on fora minute is just dumb...LOL
2) Set your e-mail accounts up to poll every 15 or 30 minutes. Having them on PUSH will require them to run in the background all day, and will reduce your battery life...especially if it's an Exchange one.
3) Turn off GPS when not in use. This is a KILLER on ANY ICS rom. It'll suck your battery dead faster than any other thing on your phone
4) Turn off wifi if you're somewhere you won't be using it. Having it constantly searching for open access points will kill your battery
5) Use a darker theme
My best advice...try all of the roms....since a flash takes literally 2 minutes, you can try them all. Flash it, run it for a day, see if you like it, then if you don't go on to the next one

Awesome! I guess I'll just have to see which has the least apps installed as a base... Any idea on which one has the least amount of apps starting out? I know CM9 is pretty lite
The reason I'm asking all this is because my only source of downloading is my phone so I'm limited as I'm no longer in a 4g area. Thanks for all the help in advance!

No disrespect intended, sir, but I hate this idea. One of the first thing I do is crank my screen timeout up as high as it will go (10 minutes, I think). Nothing worse than your screen dimming when you're trying to do something. If I'm using it, the dimmer can back the frak up. When I'm done, I'll hit the power button and let it go to sleep.
That said, if I'm in low light, I turn the brightness down as far as it will go. Makes it easier to read. My CM7 notification toggle for brightness has two settings: Dim and 100%. I use both regularly depending on where I am.
Also, I find that battery use fluctuates a lot. I've gotten 20 hours on my stock battery -- that was in CM9 or Paranoid Android, one of the two (the latter is CM9 based, but the CM9 and Paranoid Android bases are outdated). I've also gotten as little as 6. I've never heard of a universal benchmark to measure battery life definitively. It's gonna differ every day because your usage changes every day. It's gonna differ from person to person because your location in relation to cell towers is different from mine. At home, my phone works its ass off to stay connected. At work, not so much. My 20 hour run was at work.
None of the ROMs have patently abysmal battery life. One thing that will definitely help is the lack of background processes, so any de-Blur'd ROM (including all ICS ROMs) would have a leg up over stock for that reason alone. Blur has so much crap running in the background, it's disgusting.
Oh, and Amazon Appstore and its notification spam. I bet that sucks up a bit of battery. "Hey hey look at me, you have X updates" *open Appstore* "No apps to update, trollface.jpg". Seriously, the Update tab should display a trollface when there's nothing to update, because you probably went there because of that stupid notification. Maybe use Titanium to freeze Appstore if apps you got through it don't require it to verify your purchase, and follow the free app of the day via Twitter via SMS or something.

Generally speaking, if you're in the middle of something, you really don't need the screen on any longer that 30-60 seconds.

Hey, good question about which ICS Rom having the best battery life. I would definitely have to go with CM9 by Jokersax. The battery life may be bad for a few days, but according to the replies and posts on his website. Battery life will be more exceptional after 3 days of usage. I like my CM9 Rom and it has better battery life everyday. But it is all based on personal preference.
I'm using CM9 7.0.0
Just got it last night and personally the battery life kinda sucks. But I just set up my profiles and whatnot. I also notice the battery life getting better.
Then again it could completely be my fault for always using my phone.

Well I've tested cm 9 for almost 3 days and battery life only lasted for 10 hours on moderate use. I then chose to go with miui for 2 days battery life again was a little bit better only getting 12 hours with moderate use. Then I went to the aokp port bill released and so far I've gotten 16 hours with moderate to heavy use my battery is only at 20 percent and the rom is amazing! Thanks th3bill

Let your battery do 1 or 2 complete cycles and then judge it..when you do a fresh install a lot of syncing goes on in the background..

Then you should do a full wipe and report after at least 3 charge discharge cycles.
You could try wiping your battery stats in the advanced menu from recovery too before you start your discharges. Some people say this doesn't do anything but it only takes a second so can't hurt. I always do it after a full wipe. That way you're starting from a clean slate

Battery life on LI5 is a bit worse than LH1 but not by much.
I think it's around 15-20% worse overall.
Use betterbatterystats to find out what exactly is really causing the problems if it prevails after a full wipe. It might be that a couple of google apps synchronize at first in the backgroudn and cause a lot of battery consumption.
I use DLI5 and it only uses up about 1% in standby without energy saving. But i did some tricks to get there. For example, i disabled photo sync and google plus sync while my display is turned off (settings->data usage->disable background data for the apps that use up too much). Other than that, i don't use any battery saving apps and always have wifi on (even though this probably uses more energy than having it turned off at standby).
With some undervolting and bloatware removal plus sync tweaking the best idle drain I have achieved is 0.7percent/hr with all the apps I need. Very happy with that. Not on jb though. Ain't gonna test jb until it's officially out. Hopefully when it matures it should be on par if not better than ics

I also had this issue. In my case I realized that android.procesd.media went crazy eating up cpu and also bandwidth and it wouldn't stop.
I could not find a solution, I did a complete wipe (formatting system and even internal sdcard). In the i dropped DLI5 and went back to DLI3.

Betterbatterystats is suggested but i looked for this the other day coz i had some unusual battery drain going on - Full Wake lock bar!!
Seems that is a purchase app only so looked for a free alternative - came across GSam Battery Monitor - Free app - which is great and supplys alot of useful info. (used to be called badassbatterymonitor apparently)
Found that for some reason that the hotmail app was causing the wake lock so phone not going into deep sleep (not sure why, done it today too!!) so i just force stopped it.
Check that app out and look at hotmail app if installed. Can actually see the wake issue under normal battery status on phone to - like todays issue - shows hotmail as 6% battery use which is low compared to everything else but if i click on the hotmail line it then shows extra info including stay awake - mine is reading 2h 56m & 48s - well until i force stopped it.
Maybe this will be of some help:good:
No problems here, but then I removed all the bloatware inc kiesexe.
Use Better Battery Stats as someone mentioned. You could also try Watchdog task manager from the market. Set it up so it monitors the system level, that's off by default. Those two apps shall source the problem down to exactly what's up
Also don't compare battery use so quickly..... as has been said.

Is anyone else getting Android OS around 50-60% battery use?
I have tried every ROM included going back to stock. I have ran the phone with nothing but Stock and no apps installed for a day and still get the same drain so I can only assume its a kernel issue.
I am not familiar with LG products in the slightest, but I had a yellow screen of death the other day...something I have never seen in my years with samsung android products. Anyone have any idea what this is maybe it is pointing to a hardware issue?
LG made a great phone, but I don't think I will keep it much longer. Locked boot loaders, no sources, and history of terrible updates have me regretting purchasing this phone. I tried my hand at building a working jb release when I first got the phone and it is going to take a skill set I do not have and I hate waiting on a company to do what they've never done in the past..

Easy, brother. I have only had one of my apps/utilities run higher than AndroidOS ever on this phone; however, that said, I think there is a problem with the way it's being calculated. I'm getting really good battery life with good sleep and still AndroidOS shows the highest by far. I know that's abnormal for it to be so high and still get good battery life, but it is what it is.
Edit: you've installed the fast dormancy toggle, right? As for the yellow screen, I've seen it once in my two months with the phone, just rebooted and carried on. Forgot what they said it was...but it is here in this forum somewhere.

I was just about to post something similar. Andriod OS being high kind of makes sense if nothing else is using the battery, although you would expect that number to fall significantly with increased screen on time and heavy app usage, which it doesn't ever seem to.
I've been having horrible battery drain lately. I'm currently traveling for business, and just use my OG for web surfing and stuff when I'm in my hotel. I leave the phone in airplane mode, with WiFi on. About two weeks ago, when I was on The Base 0.4 in that same configuration, my battery would drain maybe 1% an hour while I was sleeping.
Recently I've been on The Base 0.7.3, and my battery drains over 5% an hour while I'm sleeping. This means no screen on, no apps running, and even turning WiFi off! How does it use that much battery when it's not doing anything? Now, I'm not entirely sure what kernel I'm running. The first time I installed The Base 0.7.3 I used sk8's kernel. After getting poor battery life, I reflashed 0.7 and 0.7.3, this time choosing the freegee kernel. I'm not actually sure if the kernel changed though.
Anyway, I think I'll post again tomorrow with some screenshots from Better Battery Stats+ and CPU Spy.
I'm wondering if this recent botched update had the battery fixes we need. Hopefully they'll re-release it soon.

When I would get bad drain, which has happened several times, I could narrow it down to a couple things in order to solve the problem.
In my case it would always happen after installing Google+. Uninstall and reboot would usually fix the issue. If I got drain on a fresh install without g+ installed, I found that if I installed the 2.2 kernel separately as a stand alone zip, that would fix it. Don't know why but it may work for you too.
I don't have screen shots, but today I recharged at 38% after 3:10 of phone use and 1:55 screen on time and about 15 hours off charger. That's with Wi-Fi on the whole time and Bluetooth for about 9 hours. I have my work exchange account on active sync with push notifications. Facebook and Twitterer to 4 hour intervals. I'm underclocked to 1350 and using powersave gov with deadline.

Believe you are correct. There were issues on the Samsung Infuse and even the international SGS3 for a while... it was referred to as 'memory leak.' Has been worked out by devs on XDA. You can put memory leak in the XDA search above... it's above my pay grade.
Edit: It's great to see another RD here... hope you will reconsider keeping the phone and stay !!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have Google+ uninstalled, but part of me thinks Google Now may be partially the culprit (although why that would be the case with all radios off, I don't know).
I'll try a fresh install of the 2.2 kernel and see if that helps. Thanks.
I can't speak for anyone else but FDT did wonders for my battery life. I was only able to go about 12 hours prior to disabling FD.

^^^ This is indeed worth considering.... I think the question then becomes why is it consistent among the 3 roms we are using? Maybe when JB source is out and something is built from source all will be good.

I would be less inclined to believe it is a faulty measure if we had a different ROM not built off stock (AOKP/CM10) that could produce different values. However, I seriously doubt anything built into either of the two custom ROM's is geared toward normalizing that reading. That's why they are both the same as the stock AndroidOS percentages. Jivy is probably right that it's a kernel issue. With the size battery we have, imagine the potential if it is a true reading (androidOS out-of-control) and we can get it under control down the road. We're talking double the current best battery life you've ever had on this phone at the very least.

Get BetterBatteryStats, select Since unplugged and Alarms to see what is waking the device (making it not go into a deep sleep). eBay was a big culprit for me.
The wakelock that keeps the phone awake during background data transfer (screen off) lasts 6 seconds (I am guessing it does it in multiples of 6s) regardless of how long the sync takes. Everytime email, facebook, gmail, drive, picasa, twitter, g+, google maps, ebay, calendar, contacts.. whatever wakes the phone to check something, it will be a minimum of 6 seconds.. This adds up over the course of the day and it is counted in the Android OS. Shut down syncs you don't absolutely want/need and this number will go down. All phones with the Snapdragon S4 Pro has it, especially the Nexus4. It seems they've done some kernel work to fix/reduce it but I havent really looked into it since I don't have that phone. I've seen complaints in the Droid DNA forum as well.

This. EBay for me too. BetterBatteryStats is your friend.
Anyone else experiencing scrolling lag or delay. Clearing cache and wiping dalvik fixes it but the issue returns after about two days.

Hey guys I just bought the phone used about a couple days ago and I was wondering if this was normal. The battery percentage seems to drain in ttwos most of the time and it does so pretty fast. Pretty much being on instagram for 7 minutes took down 10%. I'm on the new dark glass cm10 ROM right now. Is this a hardware issue or does my battery need replacing? Thanks.
1st you haven't give full info like which softwares you are using, what type of usage you do, etc...
And ya many of people have this problem.
But if it software problem then you can use these softwares:
1) Greenify
2) Clean master
And ya also turn of your GPS, DATA services when it is not in use.
These may help you and after doing this if your problem remains then we can say that it must be fault in your battery.

I just got it new so barely any apps are running in the background. I've also been using greenify before and it hasn't done much. Right now I just got on the browser to reply to this and pretty much 6 minutes - 10% drain.
