I've noticed with Wi-Fi on, I always lose 1% or a bit more per hour, just idle. On 3G, it's a bit less than 1% an hour.
I'm running the latest Jelly Bean stock official firmware (DLJ4).
I have good battery while the screen is on (1% every 4-5 minutes while browsing the internet on WiFi), but this idle battery drain is a bit too much...
I have Facebook setup, but not syncing, and I have most of the notifications disabled.
For my Google account, I have Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and Internet set to sync.

Screen was on for 1min and I received a call which I did not pick up.
BetterBatteryStats did not show any kernel wakelocks (although on previous days I did see wlan_rx_wake, l2hsic, and a few others, but none today).
I have seen all over the forums that some people are getting a 24 hours of battery life with 5 hours of screen on time, with Wi-Fi on all day. The best I can get with a whole day is 3-4 hours of screen on (brightness at 40% or lower).

6-7 hours in a 24 hours time period? Or nonstop?
Wow. Factory reset maybe ? Last night with wifi on I lost 2% for 6 hours sleep.

Looks normal, Gmail woke up to check mail 20X over the cell network while it was sleeping?
Was the phone in a good signal location?
Reason I use Wi-Fi when possible at home. CDMA is 20% signal here, GSM 90%. Perhaps your in the same situation. It is idle in GSM mode, wakes up to check mail notices it can go faster and wastes power renegotiating a faster connection?
That could easily waste power...
If so set to GSM mode, with Wi-Fi on (if screen is on) and turn cell data off.
If your signal is good, you can forget about using only GSM and just do the rest.
Not sure what else it could be, feels like cell signal IMHO. It looks high in the usage chart too, unless you made a few calls..

I lose about 20 - 25 percent per night when Wi-Fi is on. When Wi-Fi is off almost no battery loss... See the attachment for a log. I'm wondering what's wrong... So I would say that the TS is lucky to be losing only a few percent per night!
Battery drainage looks normal to me. Your wifi was also on for almost the entire time. You could use an app like Juice Defender or Tasker to schedule times to turn on wifi for syncing. That could help decrease time wifi would be on, thus saving some battery life.

It's not normal at all. I've seen others with better idle time than me, leaving Wi-Fi on the whole time. Also, my phone drains less battery while on 3G. That makes no sense.
And apps like Juice Defender shouldn't be required. It cripples the phone of a feature: background data. I use Google Voice to text and prefer my messages to come instantly instead of every 15 minutes.

I was on Wi-Fi the whole time, so it wasn't using the cell network (3G).
As you can see from the battery graph screenshot, I was mostly in a good location. The phone was in one spot on my table the whole time, where it switches between 3 and 4 bars every now and then. I didn't make any calls but I did receive one (didn't answer it) right before I took the screenshots.

I have never heard of ads running in the background... and I had all apps closed so nothing was running to drain the battery.
I've done factory resets several times, so I suppose it's either the kernel or an app doing this... but the apps I use are very common apps and I don't sync much :L
Avast shall halt anything misbehaving, maybe worth a try? Only other thing worth trying before a factory reset is installing Watchdog task manager.
Set it up so it monitors system level tasks!
Something might only be awake for a few seconds in battery stats, but it might be running at 100% system load.
Watchdog shall catch it!

My phone always drop like about 25% when I sleep with Wifi on too. Wifi seems to eat up the battery a lot recently.... I9300XXDLJ4 with Siyah 1.7rc1....
I'm the same with WiFi on and seems plenty of others are too. If I charge phone to full and then disconnect charger, with WiFi on I get a drain of 4.3%per hour, with WiFi off its around 1%. I am now leaving WiFi on all the time but changing the option to always leave WiFi on when sleeping to never and it's middle ground. There are far to many people moaning about this to be a coincidence. I am on stock latest jb and performed full wipe and reset and no difference. Ics had better standby time with WiFi on, fact!

Same here yesterday I tested with full charge and with nonstop usage I was able to get 6hrs 8min with 21% percent battery left, however my battery drains quickly in standby mode. In 6 to 7hrs I loose about 20% to 34% when sleeping.
I have more drainage issue....

I see you're not on Wi-Fi a lot; are you on 3G or 4G?
4-5h screen on time with 3G/4G is the best you can get in a typical day.

What is the deal with this phone? The battery life is not very good at all. I came from a phone that had a 1150 battery and this one has 1600! I am getting almost identical battery life as my old phone. I am running a fully debloated rom at stock clocks with the display turned all the way down and can HARDLY make it through an 8 hour work day. I've narrowed it down to the screen.
I remember reading about amoled when it was first announced and they said it would consume significantly less power than any other display technology. I'm starting to second guess this.
Its either the screen or the dual core processor that's draining this decent sized battery so fast.

Amoled does. From what ive beem read ing super amoled plus.is alot better. The darker the better. Slcd is.a.good option for battery mizers though.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Yes ive also read that the way super amoled plus works, is there is no backlight and individual pixels light up, so its better to have simple wallpapers with mostly black, would probably give you better battery life, as most of the screen will no be using any energy.
All android devices murder their batteries. It's nothing new get over it lol.
This device gets decent battery life considering it's the most powerful option out currently though.
The general masses do not understand how to set these phones up for optimal battery life. There are threads all over XDA on how to do this.
This phone for android is probably the best or near best in its class. I am impressed. Its better than my captivate was. I can get through 15 hour days with heavy use all the time with average of 4 hours screen time and i listen to a lot of music when the screen is off. This phone rocks i dont even see the need for a extended battery

I have no idea what you do with your phone or what .

Seriously we all know your not going to get iPhone battery life obviously the iPhone it just plain simple. But come on, this type of thread it's getting annoying there's a few already with help and tips on your issue search for them. Maybe you just got high hopes, or maybe it's not the phone it's you. BTW Amoled probably consume less battery but not enough for us power hungry users to see a different.

I don't think is the screen alone itself but the dual-core running at 1.2Ghz might eat more battery than your old phone with an smaller battery

You might want to install CPUSpy and BetterBatteryStats (BBS) so you can better diagnose where your battery issues are coming from. 8 hours seems very poor for this device. Use CPUSpy to see how much your device is running in deep sleep - with light usage I usually see around 80% deep sleep. You can use BBS to look for apps causing excessive wakelocks (BBS is available here on xda) to see if a particular app is causing the problem.
Unless you have a hardware problem, I don't think the display is your problem - the display on this device has a smaller percentage hit on battery use than my 3.2" LCD Aria.

Yet you've completely ignored people who have told you to get CPUSpy and BetterBatteryStats to figure out what's keeping your phone awake.
Most likely your phone is not defective, but you've installed an app that's hogging the battery or set up a configuration option that kills it, such as:
Hotmail calendar sync is known to cause massive battery drain due to a Hotmail server side bug
Some Exchange servers are misconfigured and cause major battery drain
Skype is a battery-hogging nightmare. If you absolutely have to use Skype, make sure to take it out with a task killer when you're done with it.
I haven't really pushed my device with screen-on time, however what are your idle battery drain statistics? If you have drain more than 2-3% per hour when the phone is idle (such as overnight), something is very wrong. You should be getting drain on the order of 1% an hour if you leave the phone overnight in moderate signal.

I havent ignored anyone. You assume that because I haven't responded to such comments that I haven't tried them. I frequently use cpuspy to make sure my phone is sleeping and I use bbs as well.
I'll leave the phone off the charger overnight to check it out though.
This still doesn't change the fact that HEAVY useage at 5+ hours of screen on time is absurd.
I am also planning to experiment with airplane mode and using only wifi tomorrow.

Make sure to do the following to get the most accurate data:
Top off to 100% (to the point you get the full-charged notification)
Remove from charger
Reset timers in CPUspy
Put phone down and go to bed

You can still exchange with a new one under 14 days or 30 days. 6 hours with screen on is not absurd on this phone in 12 hours. I have been with screen on with 2:45 hrs and voice with 45 min in 1 day and 8hrs with still 15+ % battery juice left.

IIRC, one of the review or comparison against iPhone4S benchmarked GS2 as 5 to 6 hours of internet browsing which means both screen on and using data. Wi-fi gives it a slightly longer battery life than cell data. Unfortunately, it didn't benchmark video playback time. iPhone4S spec says 8 hours of video. I hope GS2 is close to that. This is play video from local storage, not streaming. So, the data connection battery draw is out of picture. I managed to get 4+ hours of video playback with flight mode on with my old Captivate. Hopefully, GS2 will last longer, e.g. survive a coast to coast flight while still have some juice left for navigation.

He's not lying. I have seen 5 hours of screen on time and still had a little juice left at the end of 16 hour days. And it wasn't a one time deal. Seen it several times, though I usually don't use my phone that heavily. Yesterday I barely used my phone at all and was only down to like 85% after 16 hours.
"Long post warning"
I have really really bad battery life since I got Galaxy S2, I tried everything, never get what people claim(20hours+ battery life).
All I have got is something around 10hrs. I already using official Samsung 2000mAH extended battery.
I never liked root and flash rom but this phone made me do it .
yesterday I flashed to LeoMar75 2.7.1 with CF-root kernel (I read this kernel has best idle battery saving)
and hoping miracle will come and now..I still stuck in battery life agony
Can you guys help me determine what's wrong with my phone? I see A LOT of fellas report their phone can run for 30+ hours with 3G always on, screen time more than 2hours, internet, whatsapp and games
I basically did the same thing , I don't even do games but mine doesn't get pass 10hrs.

today I flashed the rom and kernel and I fully charged the battery then I have like 2 hours screen time for
whatsapp, engadget, FML and stuffs then sleep for 5 hours.
before I sleep, the battery has 57% left and woke up, 33% left.
I can understand 2hours screen on time drain the battery to 57% but I don't understand why 24% of 5 hours idle?
as you can see, my device woke up while I was sleeping and it's idle.
I give you guys some details
can you guys please tell me, which part of my phone is draining the battery ?
Display setting:
1. brightness : 20%
2. auto adjust display power : uncheck
3. display mode - film
Sync
I disabled Gtalk auto login and signed out Google latitude.
I also unchecked the "Backup my data" in Privacy.
I disabled Fast Dormancy.
and here are my app list.
I already did all the tricks I can find on internet to save battery for my S2 but still the battery life is miserable. I hope you guys can help me with this : (
ps. now I doing battery calibration, I think this is my last resort , I really hope my phone can do 20+hours with 3G data always on.
yeah well first of all when flashing a new rom, must wait 2-3 cycles before the battery life is maximised....
2nd of all why the need for both friendcaster and facebook ??
If the drain is still bad I would just recommend turning all data off etc...and seeing if the battery life is normal overnight (2-3% loss)...if not then something ain't right
edit; also check your wakelocks (on betterbattery stats app)

Thanks for your advice man!
do 2-3 cycles will make HUGE difference?
I have 2 facebook account for work and friends, that's why I have both friendcaster and facebook app.
I tried turn off 3G data and Wifi at stock rom(2.3.5) earlier, the drain overnight(8hrs) was within 10% so I pretty sure it's 3G data draining the battery, just don't know which app does it. (I have quite heavy incoming whatsapp msg don't know if that's the case)
sorry I forgot to capture the wakelock screen earlier but now my phone battery is completely dead,
charging it for battery calibration, perhaps I will include it tomorrow. Thanks a lot man

Try disabling facebooks sync for a day and see how battery life is then. I ran into a serious problem where my battery was drained 50% in a matter of hours with zero usage and once I remembered that I recently updated facebook I uninstalled it and everything worked fine again. I re-installed fb but disabled sync and battery life is still excellent, haven't had the chance to enable sync and monitor the battery though.

Turn notifications on for facebook but disable refresh (Set refresh interval to never). You'll get PUSH notifications instead .
are you loggdd into fb chat? If so, that should be it.
I suggest Skype.
I had Skype, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, and Facebook installed on my phone before. Got around the same batt life as you.
Reinstalled the rom I had and installed apps one at a time. Those 4 progs are the only ones I know of I have NOT reinstalled and my battery life is usually around 20+ hrs with normal usage.

If you've never logged on then your fine. Skype has always drained my battery, but I don't use it much so uninstalled. Facebook was a battery drainer with the refresh times but now that it has push (I get notifications at the exact same time as I do on my web browser) it doesn't drain my battery at all.
Average battery life is anywhere from 20 hours to 1day & 13 hours. Screen on time is always 3 hours & 30 minutes minimum, most I've had is 5 hours & 30 minutes, that was without playing any strenious games though

If you've never logged on then your fine. Skype has always drained my battery, but I don't use it much so uninstalled. Facebook was a battery drainer with the refresh times but now that it has push (I get notifications at the exact same time as I do on my web browser) it doesn't drain my battery at all.
Average battery life is anywhere from 20 hours to 1day & 13 hours. Screen on time is always 3 hours & 30 minutes minimum, most I've had is 5 hours & 30 minutes, that was without playing any strenious games though

wow nice tips! so you suggest even I didn't login Skype, I just let the app sit in there, it still drain battery?
I disabled the facebook refresh interval like you said and yeah I still got notification from PUSH, nice tip : )
I now calibrated the battery, fully charged, did all the tips you guys gave me.
turned on the phone for 1.5 hours with 30mins screen time, (LINE, Facebook, Whatsapp only)
the battery drop from 100% to 88%, is that normal ? (I use 2000maH battery)
with the 2000 mah battery, you should be able to hit 6 - 7hours screen on time. This does depend on your screen brightness however but your drain looks ok based on screen time. Id recommend that you charge the phone to 100% before you sleep, then let it drain overnight so you can check how much battery is drained in idle. With the stock battery, I normally lose around 1% every 4 hours when idle.
As for Skype, it did drain my battery. When I logged out it ran in the background and caused wakelock issues. 3G watchdog also showed that it would use data every 20-30 mins. I'm now using droidwall to block internet for apps that don't need it. For example I won't be downloading wallpapers from the "Flikie Wallpapers" app whilst using mobile data, so I set it to only use internet when I'm on wifi

I have really really bad battery life since I got Galaxy S2, I tried everything, never get what people claim(20hours+ battery life).
All I have got is something around 10hrs..

I have the same problem so i'm following this topic very carefully
Hope you'll find the solution !
one thing to remember as well, A LOT of people with 20 hour battery life have hardly touched the phone. Some people can get 3 days worth of battery, but with a screen on time of only 50 minutes its hardly surprising. I'd say anything over 24 hours with a screen on time of 3 hours is very nice.
I know this topic is always repeated but I fly I should havr made a thread anyway. This morning, in 15 minutes of web browsing, I lost 3% battery. In 10 minutes, I lost 2%, so it seems to be progressive. I just got this phone Friday.
That can't be normal, is it? I don't want to return it but I will if its a bartery issue. Could it be as simple as buying a new battery?

Most people report good battery stats. Give it a week and see if it settles down. Might need a few recharge cycles to level out.
As mentioned, the OS needs a few power cycles to generate its Batt Stats to give you a more accurate baseline. Also if you need your device to last all day and into the evening with no supplimental charging, you may want to look into taking certain measures to ensure your battery life is sipped and not gulped. I am not sure your level of experience or you tech knowledge, but basically anything having to do with comms is going to suck life. BT, wifi, 2g/3g/4g, and gps are what we’re talking about. You can manage these manually or use apps to do it for you such as Juice Defender and 3gWatchdog to name a couple. My office is in the bowels of the building where reception is spotty. The first week with this phone, my battery was at 40% by lunch time. This is because it was constantly searching for signal and when it did get one, it was being forced to high power to maintain it. Since I really don’t use my handset much in my office, I decided to take drastic measures to see what could be done. I installed the previous mentioned software already to keep my data use under control (came from a unlimited plan sucking down 8-12 gigs/mon on average) so with a few tweaks it was set to assist me. So when roaming my building I check it occasionally and when in my office I switch to airplane mode since I have my email in front of me and I use Google Voice to ensure all my calls find me no matter where I’m at. I arrive at work at 0700 and stay charged in on my drive to work. So at 0700 I was at 100%. I switched to AP mode after 15 minutes of typical goodmorning watercooler talk. At 1200 I looked at my Note and it read 99%. I went to lunch and opened all connections up while in our cafateria and after 45 minutes I was down 5% with comms going and lots of email and FB browsing. I’m back in my office and still at 95%. Obviously not everybody can follow the scheduled use as I laid out, but it works for me since I don’t have signal anyways and will make day much easier when I have to do lots of running and wont be plugging in untill tonight around 2300 except when commuting. I’m hoping this trend of juice sipping continues on for the rest of the day.
Screen brightness\use also is a big juice sucker. So, with the big screen on the note you need to be mindful of that, too.
Thank you for taking your time on that long informative answer!
Asides, today at school, my phone was on complete idle standby with lowest possible brightness and Wifi off (but mobile data on) and by 2:00 (6-2 so 8 hours) I'm down from 90% to 75%.
Is it defective or is what I'm getting normal?
Edit: Forgot to add I have a Tasker that disables mobile data when turning the screen off.
Edit 2: The Tasker profile is for the screen facing down, not being off.
Still, is that not a lot?

What are you complaining about those are great numbers. Losing 1% every 5 minutes means 500 minutes of screen on time, which is 7 hours and 10 minutes. Remember that's just with the screen on. With the screen off and sitting in your pocket you will lost about 1% per hour.
2g/3g/4g...each step you take the worse it is on battery. Restrict to 2g (edge) if you arnt downloading or doing anything. There's lots of toggles. What Juicedefender does is kills the connections untill you turn the screen on and I believe periodically between screen ons to pull any texts and such. The weaker the signal strength (bars) the more battery its using in order to stay connected. Try a few things and you'll be surprised at how stepping in a little to restrict its juice use will make a difference in battery life. Plus, as mentioned, give a few days to build those batt stats up, then it will give a more accurate measure of the current capacity.

So you lost about 2% an hour. Typically you should see 1% per hour. So either you were in a low signal area which caused it to use more power to find a signal, or else you last charged it with a USB charger which prevents it from going into deep sleep (known bug). Or you could have a misbehaving app.
Download CPUSpy from the market an BetterBatteryStats from XDA and see if your phone is deep sleeping and check for wakelocks.
I last charged it with the OEM Samsung charger.
Is that the problem? The reason I started this thread is because I see people reporting (yes I know) that on standby they get great battery life.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Every phone discharges differently, especially when new. The overall life is what's important as to whether it's acceptable to you or not. Give it 2-3 days of good ol fashion heavy use. A few good full charge then full discharge are good for getting a good baseline. I remember one of my phones would lose it's top 10% (100 to 90) in a matter of minutes of being unplugged, but then would be fine the rest of the day. This is what I mean by the overall being the important part. But the rogue app part could be something to look into. Aften when we get new phones we go hog wild with new apps with the "lets see what this baby can do" mentality, I say this because I am very very very guilty of it. Sometimes you get an app that malfunctions or is just straight BS. There some that open by itself. Some that you get Ppush notifications about buying ingame currency for and other shady stuff. I try to install only a couple apps a day to keep an eye on weird stuff happening.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Chief Greek, are you seeing around my results or do you think it is simply a matter of my battery stats not being correct as you said?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have been using my method I stated in my first reply. Here I sit about 9 hours later and my phone is at 92% with no supplimental charging.
Do you know of a way to get a 4G toggle into the dropdown menu for easy access alongside Wifi, Rotation, etc?
Those are some good stats though.
Edit-One app I do have installed is "RAM Manager" and I replaced Samsung settings with settings in app. Could that be detrimental&
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Havnt played with ram manager, although used something called cachemate before. Seemed to do the trick when phone was acting goofy or very lagged out. I would wait a few days and see if it levels out. Keep screen off when you dont need to use it and if you really really want to do something about it now, install the free juice defender and see how you like it. If you like it and want more controls, upgrade to one of their pad versions.

I loose 1% per 20-30 minutes on standby =/ What settings do you have/how many apps do you have? Do you keep Wifi/Mobile Data on all the time? Reason being, I want to get this figured out before I root/go any further. If it is indeed my own issue, I want to to get it sorted out. Is it worth a factory reset?
Not to get off topic but are the batteries from the international version and the Att version the same? Could they be a different type or manufacturer?

I am not an expert answer on this but yes, I'd like to think so. In some cases it would not be the same (being that ATT has NFC and International does not) but considering the NFC chip is NOT in the battery, it leads me to believe that the they are the same 2600mah batteries.
So, I was just with Samsung chat agent (who probably didn't know a lot about the phone) and she said lost of 25% was normal standby. Am I the only one with this? Techntreck, you get hours on standby?

[Discussion] Getting Great Battery Backup with JB 2 days 2 hours & still 12% balance
Getting Great Battery Backup with JB 2 days 2 hours and still 12% balance
Did lots of Phone calls and used WiFi most of the times. The 5% usage shown for Voice Call is for 2 days, so its around 90+ minutes or more. No gaming or music but some FB + Twiter and 3G browsing. Isnt this really good?
BTW, I am on P765 V20D Hongkong rom but with P765 V20A Bhaaratiya (Indian) Baseband. Pure complete stock. So bugless and smooth. :good:
No memory tweaks, just ATK and proper settings of Smart Profiles Free which automatically switches off 3G, GPS, 20% Screen brightness, Silent mode, while I am sleeping.
It is also recommended to drain your battery once a while in 10/15 days for better battery performance, so will wait for 2/3 more hours, until it drains fully.
So share your experiences about Battery usage on JB.
EDIT: Screen time is showing 5% for two days, it is just below the voice calls.
Screen timeout is 15 seconds.
Anyways I already mentioned I dont play games, so obviously I save lot of juice.
This is my business oriented phone and have configured 4 gmail ids, which keeps popping mail notifications every 20/30 minutes and for some mails I do reply from phone.
Now it is showing 11% after 2d 4h (2 more hours) . No calls came in between. Just downloaded mail when I connected WiFi again.

I use Pandora on 4G for 45 minutes a day while I walk my dog. Occasionally have short phone conversations under a few minutes. I check my email, sync is always on.
I usually get around a week of battery life with this usage pattern. Cut it down by a day or two when I use navigation to drive places.

On XDA no one trust each other, but if you trust me, its approximately around 5 to 6 hours in these two days. I dont know how you will believe when venkinn (above post) says he gets 7 days with 4G on and gmail sync.

@infamous_nacho, just check below quote by vekinn and comment on it. He says 7 days, which is hard to believe me too. So my 2+ days is reasonably believable, if you trust others.
If you trust me, this is my business phone (not standby phone) and 4 gmail-ids are always in sync on 2G (EDGE). So you can imaging I must be using phone on regular interval but yes I switch on 3G and WiFi only when I require. At night they are automatically off, even if I forget to switch off (smart profiles free)

I managed to squeeze a little over a day out of my battery by turning the wifi setting to 'only when plugged in' then the next full charge only lasted 14 hours. I don't use my phone heavily but I text alot and use facebook here and there. I could easily get 2 days out of a full charge with ICS. with ICS my wifi was at 2-3% constantly on. if I keep it on with JB it jumps to over 25%. also, my wifi scan interval is set at 3000, on ICS I had it set at 150. anyone going back to ICS just because of this battery issue? I'm definitely thinking about it

(3%) Is about 60-70 minutes with screen on at least.
After two days with my S5, I seem to not have found a way to get over a ridiculous battery drain. I'm only getting around 6 hours of use with ~2hr screen on. (Right now it's at 13% battery after 5hr 42min with 2hr 9min screen on). From what I can tell the primary culprit, as usual, is "Android System" which is using 24% of the battery as of right now. Thanks to KitKat, I can't use WLD to figure out what the drain is. Has anybody else had this issue?
I've tried calibrating the battery (drain to 0%, turn off, charge to full, etc), force stopping clear cache and data on Google Play Services/Play Store/Google+, turning off WiFi, location, etc... nothing seems to work.
Further, no matter how much I clear/end all apps and whether or not I use a downloaded app or the built in task manager, I cannot for the life of me get the RAM usage to go anywhere below 1.32Gb.
Note: Yes, I accidentally posted this in the General forum first, been a long day and clicked the wrong one, I've already requested that the admins delete the other post.
UPDATE: I think I might have narrowed it down to "AntService" under Android System, but I have no idea how to fix that...

Let us know what you find. I think it's probably something you installed though and not the phone. Mine lasted 3-4 hours on most of the time while I was playing with it/taking photos at full brightness from 60%. I updated it as well.
Full 5 hours 10 minutes of Screen Time and 17 hours turned on today, this playing and still setting stuff as I got it yesterday. My S4 before Kit Kat was giving me constantly 4 hours of screen time on same daily usage, with normal battery stats showing Screen wit 50% of usage and the other 50 well spread, after Kit Kat at most 3 hours, and the same issue with Android System been equal or some times even greater on usage than the screen.
But, so far I'm happy because even when I used it today a lot different than I use it in a normal day it still managed to gave me over 5 hours of screen time, that's great for me.

Solution herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721378
Just drained my battery completely (a full cycle of fully-charged to fully-empty).
With an average usage, about 80% running on Wifi (with wifi calling), about 30% screen on, two calls of total time of 30min, internet browsing, 3 gmail accounts pulling gmail regularly - Overall - 34.5 hours.
BTW, I love this new battery-charging animation when the device is off - a liquid green energy flowing from the USB into the battery, bubbling and filling up my battery - cool
EDIT: Full charge from 0 to 100% in about 2 hours. Device was shut down during the charging period.
I've gotten over 21 hours and 6 hours of screen time. You should try turning sync off, but it definitely sounds like one of the apps. I doubt your battery already has failed damaged. Also battery calibration is more of placebo effect, it doesn't do anything. When you fully charge your phone it does the same thing as those apps. Don't worry about Ram going under a certain number, unused ram is wasted RAM. Worst case scenario just factory reset start over.

Do you have leave WiFi on or have WiFi calling enabled? I have found my battery drain with the screen off and WiFi calling enabled be a bit less than 3% an hour. With WiFi disabled and my phone connected to 4g my battery drains at under 1% an hour. With the phone connected to 2g networks the drain decreases even further.

Well I'd been doing great since I got it. Left my phone at home at maybe 70% and went for a run, came back an hour later and it was at 35% with Samsung Quick Connect taking up 46%... weird.
