Install betterbattery stats from Android app and games section. U can set a custom point or from unplugged point to know what s causing phone to wake up... Also post the BBS log which u can create from settings menu.

If I'm reading your screenshot correctly, it says you've been on a single battery charge for 3 days, 9 hours, 40 minutes and 38 seconds? With only a small time spent charging? If that is correct, then that is PHENOMENAL battery life. What are you talking about?
Are you trolling?

No. Sir, i'm not trolling any one, why would i do it ? As you can see. Eveil = Awake. And Ecran activé = Screen On. So the usase is less than 5% but the awake phone is 95% .

You're still getting way better battery life than I get, and my phone isn't awake for anywhere near the same percentage as yours is.
In any case, as Prashanthme said above, install BetterBatteryStats, use the phone normally for a day... or however long it takes your phone to go from 100% to nearly dead - which looks like 3(!!!!!) days.
Then examine the screens, logs, and dump file generated by the app to find out what is keeping your phone awake.

The BBS log from the settings menu he refers to here is from within the BetterBatteryStats (BBS) app. You can find it in the Themes & Apps section.

[Q] What could be causing sudden battery problems?

What could be causing my battery to go from 20-25 hours of usage down to 7 hours?
It started about the time i flashed the LA2 firmware, I use intratech frankenstein builds, never had a problem before, been flashing since the KE builds.
Things i know aren't the problem:
- apps, I haven't installed any new apps, the battery usage shows no odd app battery consumption
- wifi,bluetooth,3g,gps; I have them turned off most of the time,when i don't need them
- firmware,ROM; i've flashed 3 different ones since the problem started, no change
- bad battery stats, my battery consumption is linear, a straight line from 100% to 1% and it powers off the phone when you would expect it to
Things that could be causing it:
- cache,data wipe; i've never done a wipe of my phone
- new lockscreen, all the firmwares i flashed (LA2,LA4,KPH) since the problem started have the new lockscreen
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Lockscreen is might causing wakelocks, use betterbatterystats to look for any wakelocks.

Agreed here, sounds like a wakelock issue, I have had this before, Not sure of a fix. I have usually just moved on to a new rom which has fixed it
What is this wakelock you speak of?

Stock ICS battery drain

Hello, I have been reading and can't find a solution for my non rooted stock ICS I717. It seems my battery is draining super fast way faster than Gingerbread. I have checked my deep sleep and it is working and I turn on b4 unplugging. Is there a solution besides rooting and installing a custom ROM?
Thanks,
Soggy

Get an app like better battery stats and check wakelocks to see if an app is kicking in and waking your phone up.
Check your battery details and see if itcshows awake lot.

I have a question. What exactly is "deep sleep"? I've been coming across this term a lot on the forum; did a forum swaeh, but couldn't find an answer. Sorry for the nooby question, I'm new to Android. Made the move from Apple not too long ago.
Also, can someone please give me a link on how to root (again, I don't really know what exactly to search for). I recently upgraded to the ICS update.
Thanks.

While you are new here, please follow forum rules as they are in place to ensure regularity for all users alike.
what ROM and Kernel are you using? checked OC settings? any additional apps running in the background without your knowledge? any recent apps you have installed?

How to check if apps are running without my knowledge?
Yes there are many apps I recenly got!
Get better battery stats from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle.
Also turn off all the silly Samsung stuff like face awake etc etc
Does a reboot help?

a sign that some hungry app is churning away in the background, that's why I suggested bbs to help find the cause.
This kind of thing is nearly always a rogue process, just a matter of getting to know your new os and learning its ins and outs

It's probably best to root and change the kernel, as my phone used to get too hot as well

I slept for 4 hours ..

Woke up too be shocked! Battery is 26%

This is a serious problem...
BBS says that gpsd is using a lot as a process, so I disabled that before I sleep.
OK so now I wiped data and cache and installed CM9 stable release.
I want to know what you mean by kernel and how to install custom kernel

Hi.
I had the same problem with one SGS3 from two I bought.
The one worked fine, but the second restart twice and more a day. I changed it in the shop. But the problem was still there. The akku was hot and after 2 hours without any input the akku was 0%.
I changed the phone the second time in the shop.
But also this device had the problems, sometimes the phone doesn't see the akku.
Then I had the idea, I looked into the device pressed the akku with my thumbnail and the akku worked.
With a little paper I fix the akku and everything is fine until today.

Could be your battery, maybe is damaged.
Check it, if it is a little big and isnt flat is maybe damage and you need one new.
Try doing a fully charge, but i think is the battery. It happened to me.

try flashing a diff kernel (may be Dorimanx v7.22) and then see for the issue
Hi, sorry for breaking in into other people's thread, but I've been getting terrible battery life and random crashes. I tried severeal different rom/kernel/baseband/android versions combinations and always had the phone dying on me. The weird part was that it only happened when the phone was not plugged in. When it was charging, this problem would not happen at all.
Well, after your post about the battery damage I checked mine and it indeed seems a little bigger than normal. Do you think its possible that a damaged battery could cause it?

Amazed the more experienced members who have replied to this thread thus far have missed the obvious & not suggested the OP install BetterBatteryStats. Something weird is causing that drain, I'm not understanding why you'd suggest someone go out & buy a new battery in the first instance when there's nothing outwardly physically wrong with the battery.
OP - Install BetterBatteryStats, have a look at the thread on here to get an idea of what kind of info/screenshots you need to post to that thread for someone there to help you out. Then do exactly that.

Thanks a lot Sir... Appreciate it... I was actually going to the store rite now to buy a new battery...
Now may be after a few days if I don't find a solution or if my battery is really damaged (can't understand why cause my battery is only 8 months old)
Thank you.

YW I'm not saying you'll definitely be able to track down what's causing the drain with BBS, but it's certainly worth a try before you fork out $ for a new battery (especially given your phone is still usable in the meantime). If you end up not being able to find anything with BBS, then you go buy a new battery.
I repalced my battery after one yeat
But I can say tham I am heavy user
The reson I replaced it it was give me a mad reading some times up some times down with no app causing battery drian
Tell my phone begin to shut down when using any app want cpu higher frequencies
So I get new one cause when keep it on charge and use it nothing occur
I suggest you to get a new battery
And charge it well before use
Then let him drop about 15
Then make full charge
And dont let him get down 40

Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you managed to know what was the problem? If so, how did you solve it?
I'm experiencing something similar, but after reading a lot of threads it seems that no one knows what is the problem.
For me it started after deleting the battery stats (I know it doesn't make sense) and reflashing a ROM ( I was using the ROM before without a problem). Oh well, let me know how it went for you.
Cheers.

Yeah you definately come across as an a-hole.
Its a fresh factory wipe. When the phone boots for the 1st time. I check battery usage the biggest user is bluetooth with 49 days usage and 60% usage.
Its a fresh install!!! How can that be?
Instead of wasting your time trying to be a smartass. Just dont bother replying. I was asking if anyone has ever seen this issue before after a fresh stock install.

I have seen things like that before and it's most likely just a bug in the code somewhere. I am sure after a charge cycle or two you won't see it again. As long as you aren't noticing any odd battery drain or anything I would not worry
