Ok people I could use some help. I think I am getting some average battery times but the score card would definitely say 'could do better'.
So what I want to know is what screen shots from BetterBatteryStats/Phone/other would I need to upload here to help someone with far more technical nous than me identify what is causing the drains and how to stop them?
To start here is my battery screen shot for today. This is with approx. 3.20hours of screen on time.
The screen is a real battery-hog due to it's size. You may want to lower brightness, that helps a lot.
For starters, please attach Kernel Wakelocks and Partial wakelocks from BetterBatteryStats, that shall show if something drains your precious juice.

OK here we go....I guessed from looking around the forums this is the best way to deliver the information? If not let me know and I'll change it.
Analyse away
Not sure whether this is relevant but I have Tasker turning WiFi on and off in two locations.
Alright, let's see: Your phone's screen was on for an hour, but the phone was awake for two. That means we found a wakelock. Unfortunately I have no idea what "deleted_wake_locks" stands for. Maybe someone else knows more about this. Besides that wake lock, you seem to spend quite some time in an area with bad or no signal at all. That will drain your battery pretty quickly too as the phone is constantly searching for a better signal. You might want to turn of phone data in that area to prevent to phone from trying to get a better signal all the time. Finally, you should consider getting rid of the Facebook app. I've read that it isn't exactly gentle when it comes to saving battery.
Rationale: In the API available to android drivers it is advised to call wake_lock_destroy before freeing the memory of the wakelock struct that you created. This is probably done on shutdown OR perhaps if for some reason a driver is unloaded from the kernel. Whenever it does this it ads the wakelock stats to the deleted_wake_locks.
Know actions: AlarmManager itself is not generating partial wakelocks but the applications (intents) that were set to be called when an alarm goes off do. Alarms can be listed through the menu "Actions -Alarms".
Known conditions of occurence: In relation to Wifi and depending on the sleep policy wakelocks seem to be collected when screen goes off and Wifi is turned off

That doesn't help battery life, that just fixes an error in battery stats reporting.
That cell standby problem was NOT draining excess battery it was just being reported incorrectly by the android battery stats.

easy. use speedmod kernel
i am use ninphetamin3 1.20 with criskeloron v5.1 and my battery life is good
Surely it's not just the kernel though? I'm using Siyah as I thought that was supposed to be good? Will changing it help? Surely it's not that causing the wakelocks?
Any other suggestions or comments on the stats I posted ?

Maybe post a batterystats dump in the betterbattery stats forum.. it would be cool if some guy who could really read onto batterystats very well to start a betterbattery stats thread just for us gs3 owners.. would help everyone..cos gs3 is a popular device and it would be easier to post them here for quick answers

Your battery goes down steep all the time, but according to your screenshot of the battery stats there are 2 critical points, the latter not ending.
Please next time also include a screenshot of the menu appearing after tapping on the graph (which includes screen-on, wifi and signal quality)
According to BBS some of the issues are related to:
No or Unknown Signal (): 1 h 26 m 54 s (5214 s) Ratio: 20.5%
Poor Signal (): 1 h 4 m 45 s (3885 s) Ratio: 15.3%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No or poor signal causes heavy battery drain since it keeps searching for the network until the connection is re-established.
Are you on 3G connection? If so, Facebook is a known battery drain.
Try using 2G whenever you're not needing the speed and see if that improves your battery life. (Only to test for now)
Alternatively disable Sync (all of Sync, not only Google or Facebook) and check if that improves the life.
You are on an old ROM version, try upgrading to a BLFB-based firmware or a CM9/AOSP based one. Both have great battery life improvements over the old ALEx Roms.

Anyone know the answer to this or can direct me?
Over the past couple days I've noticed this as the top partial wakelock on my device. This seems to be at least partially coincident with info propagating across the internet about Google games. There is an apparent associated wake alarm, which ends in .Gms.
While these aren't insanely bad wakelocks, they are irritating to me as I'm not sure where they are coming from. The number of wake alarms from this is pretty aggressive... Previous to this maps was my most aggressive waker by a large margin, and this new one is twice as aggressive as maps.
Is anyone else seeing these? Anyone have any insight as to the source?

Yes, same problem here but with a Nexus 4
It looks like that's caused by Messenger.
I can say for certain that it Might be caused my Messenger, as I do not have it installed ,and do not suffer that wakelock.
I do got a lot from Maps, but Greenify takes care of that.

No, but I have seen com.google.gms implicated in recent Google Play Services updates, in reference to the upcoming game center-thing Google is launching, so That could potentially have something to do with it.

No. It seems to have gotten slightly better with a different kernel, but still present. I'm still getting decent deep sleep and awake: screen on ratios... It isn't completely preventing deep sleep for me.

Is been around for a few days... I think it is being caused by updates to background Google services, but I'm not sure. Since I don't know what's causing it, chasing it down by freezing stuff or using greenify odd going to take time. I haven't had that time yet. So I am living with it for now.

This sounds very much like the aggregated Network Location Provider that was introduced in the I/O Keynote?? Or is this something different?
It's supposed to use far less power not more... :what: It got a very good reception from the crowd tho.

Could be. I haven't had really any time to chase this yet. But for grins, I installed the app AutomateIt, which if I understand correctly takes advantage of some of those new Google features. I turned on a couple options in the app to trigger things "when in a vehicle". I subsequently saw more of this wakelock.

Sounds like it to me too. And yeah, it probably does use less power than the old default way of doing location services. Our problem is that we have tuned our phones to avoid location services as much as possible, and now we are getting them again.
I'm sure someone will figure out the best way to tame it... or we may find out it's battery-friendly enough to actually use location services now

It may be battery friendlier than the old location services - it doesn't seem particularly drain inducing to me - but it is running on top of the old location services (I haven't noticed any reduction in wakelocks from them) so it does result in some additional drain.

It aggregates it from wifi, data and gps remember.
If you are using wifi - it will be there.

Yeah, I was under the impression that it's kind of up to the apps to actually USE the new service. If they still go about things the old way then the new service doesn't help anything.
I posted the following on my own thread but I'll be moving my discussion here because it's pretty much the same thing.
I noticed recently that I have two Google related networking services running constantly. They are GoogleLocationService and NetworkLocationService. Are both necessary? I remember only one was there before the new Google Services update. I also have noticed an increase in Android OS under Battery usage and a slight decrease in battery life. I think the two maybe related. Anyone have some insight?

I think the issue is that the old service and the new service are running simultaneously and is negatively impacting battery instead of saving like what was promised with the new service. Maybe we need to find a way to remove/freeze the old service.
Hi all,
I love my DNA (stock) and I haven't had any issues until the past couple of weeks, when I noticed that my phone started draining battery much more quickly than normal without me changing my usage habits. I'm consistently draining about 10% per hour even when I just pull it out of my pocket every hour or so to check notifications. I've also noticed sluggish behavior as well (lag when unlocking especially).
I got the Wakelock Detector app to see what was causing me issues, but I'm pretty new to it--I'm not sure what is normal and what is a problem. I've disabled a lot of my location services as a result, but that doesn't seem to have solved anything as of yet, which is why I'm posting.
I'm attaching a few screenshots from WLD so you can see what I've got going on. Android System looks awful, but I don't want to disable backup (I like having my app choices and such saved, and don't want to lose them). What should I really chase after to get this draining issue solved?

There's a known issue with Google services causing drain, its been mentioned in a few places around here, it started with an update a little while ago. You can try removing updates if it let's you, may help, or just have to wait out an update to correct it. I think for now disabling all of the location stuff helps.

you could also try the newly released Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru.
If you can I would change kernels. crpalmer's kernel fixed my wakelock issues. I had a maps issue related to location services and disabled maps in Titanium Backup and then later I had wakelock issues that I couldn't pin down but switching to crpalmer's kernel fixed it for me.

This app looks great! I'll certainly give it a try. I used JuiceDefender on my old Droid Charge and it helped (back in 2011), but I don't think the app is maintained any more.
I'll let you know if it helps.
I have a theory, which may be wrong, is that apps set up all sorts of events that the system tracks and acts upon. As a result, when tracking CPU usage and wake locks, it is often hard to find the culprit behind most of the activity because it registers under system processes rather than directly from the offending app.
So the solution may be to do a factory reset (which is painful) or just freeze some apps to see what difference it makes.

That itself causes wakelocks and is 90% placebo effect.
Having same issue and it is definitely Google. I use Google Maps a lot so disabling location renders it useless. Bad deal since its killing my battery.

If so, this is the best placebo effect ever. Once BatteryGuru trained for 2 days, my battery life has improved dramatically, back to where it used to be (if not better). My phone now can enter deep sleep for longer than 2 minutes over a 10 hour period.
I did see that BatteryGuru was the cause of additional wakelocks, but my real cause for concern was the lack of deep sleep.
I can now make it through a 16 hour day without getting range anxiety.

It isn't mentioned in this thread and is a really important recent development. The new play store solves the excessive drains that google play services was having. I've seen mentioned in a few posts above some issues that will be solved by installing the new play store.
The problem I had with battery guru was that it required turning location services on. Since I normally don't run location services unless I need them, having to enable them for the battery savings app to run kind of negates the purpose of the app. It would be nice to hack it up and delete the business that requires location services.
For the poster above who wasn't getting deep sleep, I would try removing battery guru, solve the deep sleep problem and then reinstall battery guru, it might make your battery life even mo betta.
Hi everyone!
Some days ago I bought a new battery for my S3 (seller said to be genuine) and I am disappointed because its performance is almost the same as the one I was experiencing with my old battery (18 month-old battery). For this reason, I have been researching and I have done this until now:
*) Being honest, this comparison is somehow subjective since apart from the battery change, my S3 was officially updated from 4.1 to 4.3 almost at the same time I changed the battery. Then, I wonder whether this update may have affected my diagnosis on the battery duration.
1) According to the point * I decided to do a battery calibration "without root" consisting in draining the battery to 0% and charging until 100%. I haven't seen any improvement doing this.
2) As consequence I analyzed wakelocks. I have addressed two of them from the System:
- AudioOutLock. to fix this one I did as recommended: disabling sounds when typing and all of this.
- Backup. Fixed by disabling the backup from Google (I would like to have it enabled but if it is causing a battery drain...)
3) I let the phone the whole night turned on with the 3g connection on and I got a ratio of 2%/hour draining. I have read this is more or less under the normal parameters.
After doing all of this I'm still not happy with the performance. Usually, my mobile gets under 20% by the end of the day with the screen on in a range between 1h30m and 2h. If I remember well at the very begging (when I bought my phone), I was getting my phone at 20% by the end of the day but having the screen on for 4h or more. After buying a new battery, I was expecting to return to that situation.
Do you have any hint? As for example a better way to calibrate? Factory reset may help? Should I check a specific wakelock?
Thank you very much in advance!
I forgot to mention that when I let it charging over night, my s3 does not always charge until 100. Sometimes it's until 98 or 95. I don't know if this helps you guys as a hint but I want to provide as much information as possible.
Thanks

Thanks!, I will check. But so far I have briefly seen it looks like there is not a specific solution more than disabling gNow and some other things. Maybe a good option is to downgrade or using a custom rom in which there aren't these problem.

Thanks!. I have been using Wakelock detector but I will try with this one. I was wondering if using this kind of applications for checking the wakelocks may provoke some battery drain itself. I mean, should it be used just for analyzing when you experience a battery issue? or should they be permanently installed no matter whether you have battery problems or not?

Hi, Better Battery Stats is using an already existing process of Android to obtain it's information, therefore the influence of the app itself on battery drain should be negligable.

- Twitter
- Messenger (FB messenger)
- Line
I guess maybe I have too many of them reason why the battery is draining more than normally when the screen is off

I had a poor battery perfomance after upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 until I've disabled fast dormancy. It seems that in v4.3 is enabled, and if your carrier doesn't support it, it will eat your battery. Donwload free from market "fast dormancy togle" by Siyah, and that's it

I have just rooted the phone and disable the fd. I hope this works!. Thank you very much for the info. However, now that I have it rooted, do you suggest to install a custom rom for getting a better performance? if so, which? there is a good one with 4.4 and multi-view?.
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing allblacksback mod it makes the whole system dark and saves battery on display and also I recommend disabling Google play services but this means there will be no push services but it saves a lot of ? ? ? ?

After giving a try to the idea of disconnecting the fast dormancy here I give you some reports on the battery consumption. I don't know why but statistics are wrong from the point of view of the duration (3 days).. since I disconnected it just 10 hours ago. I think its consumption is still huge. I hope you can give me a hint on it. Thanks!
Ive installed smartdroid. Battery perfomance seems quite better now! What do you think from the screens? However.. i find the screen too much consuming.... ive seen people managing 5 hours of screen in a day. Why i am not? May it be battery or configuration?
Thanks!
Do you have any hint on this? Ive seen that with the screen off the consumption is really good. However, with the screen on a doing normal stuff: chroming, feedlying or whatsapping it goes to a 20-25%/h.
Hi everyone,
I had been playing with my phone for a while, but I notice the battery drains pretty fast. When I check with Power management, most of the time the AndroidOS takes up 60% of the battery, and also 80-90% wakeup time.
Is there any solution? I had tried using BetterBatteryStats to monitor the wavelocks but not actually find a solution.
What version/ROM are you running?
All the CM Roms and its derivatives have known wakelog issues .
GPE 4.42 seems great though

i am using stock 4.3 rooted
Monitor deep sleep and processor utilisation % using CPUspy. Then better battery stats and try to identify the wake locks. Greenify to hibernate apps which you don't want autostarting may also help.
Good luck!
How did you flash 4.3? I'm guessing OTA if you have root. Hmm. Factory reset would probably cure it but you'd lose root. Best bet is as above and identify wakelocks.

My device had bootloader unlocked. I had tried to re-flash today, without installing any other apps, it works fine for like 3-4 hours and the problem happens again right after I turned on Wifi (i had turned on several times).
I will have it like this for 1-2 days before doing anything further. rightnow I will leave the phone un-root

I will give it a try, I used to have CPU-Z to monitor the CPU usage and it works very well for me.
