Hey guys,
I know the battery threads are getting tiring, and I apologize for starting another. I'm having a strange issue, though. I'm getting great screen on time (when using the device) - much, much better than my Galaxy Nexus that would fall 1% per minute used. However, my idle/deep sleep time isn't really that great and is causing me to see a pretty massive battery drain. My apps are about 80% of my power consumption...with hardly any being from the screen. That's super strange to me.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll see my Kernel is accounting for 30% of my battery loss. I have no idea how to pin down what's causing it. This screenshot was taken after 2.5 hours with only 23 minutes of screen on time..and I was already down to 78%.

Here are some more screenshots for good measure. I'm trying to pinpoint exactly where my stuff is coming from... I haven't done anything to do the phone besides disable Amazon stuff and Google Movies/Books. Facebook is never syncing, Twitter is every 4 hours...and that's about it besides the usual gmail and stuff.
If you look at my one screenshot from BetterBatteryStats, you'll see that "msm_hsic_host" is the main culprit of kernel wakelocks. I googled it and it brought me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34303488
It seems as if a lot of Nexus 4/Optimus G users are experiencing the same wakelock issues related to that process. No one can seem to figure out what the hell is causing it though.
Same here. I'd love to know...

Can anyone with a well performing DNA comment on what percent of the battery their kernel is using? I'm at an average of 30%, followed closely by the Android System at 15%. Burning through about 10% of total battery per hour while idle. All seems way too high.

I'm seeing roughly the same thing. 22.4% kernel, and 18.9% for android system. Seems very high to me, I hope HTC pushes an update to fix this. Hopefully someone can figure out what is running that is causing this.

Related to the high usage, I have over 2800 wakelocks related to the dialer. Does that seem odd to anyone?

Dialer is continuing to climb in wakelocks, it's over 3000 now. This is really confusing me as to why it is so high.
Has anyone figured out why this is happening? I have been having a kernel issue as well with mine reaching over 60-70% which is killing my battery!

Do you have SetCPU? You could try undervolting it and see if that helps.
I'm not rooted. :-\
i think your over reacting a little bit... I was getting over 32 hours on the stock kernel and it was 18% kernel and 15% system... the problem I had with stock was the VZW Bull$*t that randomly was waking my device to check for sync of stuff I dont use... but with new cubed kernel its down to about 2%

How am I overreacting at all? That is abnormally high usage which is causing a drain.
Mine is also usually around 21-26%, and the Android OS is right behind it at around 19-21%
Am really interested in finding what is causing this, because with 3.5hrs of screentime accounting for less than 12%, cutting this down to an acceptable level alone would make the battery life more than acceptable.

Can you guys let me know if all four processor cores are online all the time.you can use SystemTurner or TricksterMod or some similar cpu control app to find out. Some people on the stock kernel are reporting that all four cores are always online sucking down the battery.
Also let me know if you've ever used a custom kernel on this phone.

I've checked BBS and it doesn't show anything obvious. No wake locks and no processes draining battery. I did some research and read that the Google apps and services are hard on battery. I'm running the latest stock firmware with AJ_Newkirk's kernel. Is there anything I could do to have 1% idle drain like most other people? I might change my kernel to see if this a kernel problem.

Hm, that's very odd. Could you please post a Screenshot of your BBS? That would be helpful. Normally I'd say it's probably BLN or suspend_backoff, but since you're saying that there aren't any wakelocks, your battery is either really old, or very very poorly calibrated....
Poorly calibrated? I havent checked on that yet.
I also forgot to get a screenshot of BBS. Ill get a screenshot after another charge cycle. But i read somewhere that this devices fuel gauge doesnt need calibration.

There is no need to calibrate your battery on the i777 as it does nothing.
On to OP's question:
The battery percentage can be deceiving at times. I've noticed that after flashing numerous roms/kernels, my battery % would increase/decrease. This is insane as it should always decrease a bit after flashing. My remedy was to use a kernel that could wipe the fuel gauge (fluxxi or siyah). You can do this by using their respective apps (as you're on the official "leak" customized by AJ, get extweaks once you're on Siyah). After doing that, let the phone naturally die off. Then do a full charge cycle. This helped a lot in having a more accurate reading of my battery % as well as longer battery life (at least from my observation).
Also, are you using the official battery for the i777? If so, how long have you had the device? I've heard that some had to buy a new OEM battery.
Yes I have the original battery. I've realized that a lot of the roms I've used have some kind of battery life problem. Roms like MIUI are rough on battery on my phone. But the best battery life I've ever had was on a CM9 Nightly. Too bad the CM9 camera wasn't too good or I would've stuck with it I think I'll try switching to AOKP and give that another try, even though I've flashed that rom a countless number of tines already.

Most of the Devs recommend 3 cycles of depletion/charge before you even worry about battery life. Plus have you checked to see if you have a roque app chewing up battery?
Yes ive checked that too. I usually dont install many apps to begin with. Ill let the battery deplete 3 times and report back. I would also like to say thanks to everyone for their input.

If you have something specific in mind then by all means share it with me.
Unfortunately, you saying "i get bad battery life" is of no help - especially when I am getting VERY good battery life, and so is everyone else who comments about battery life.
To the OP: You might want to reinstall and use the fresh install option. I have never seen Semi use battery in a bad way unless a rogue app was in play.
EDIT: I just noticed that you have checked for wakelocks. In the absence of any wakelocks, you may have a hardware issue. How much screen on time did you have in those 13 hours?

I think I had about 1 hour and 30 minutes or close to 2 hours. If this was a hardware problem how should I handle that? I got the phone in February, I'm not sure if I have warranty now since it has been a few months since I got the phone.
I have siyah kernal and if you boot cwm hit kernal specific items then set the battery to performance that may help. I've NEVER seen a drain as bad as yours. Are you on Wi-Fi? If so a bad wifi network that sends out a lot of un-needed traffic may hurt you.
Kernal specific options -> set battery to 'optomized'
If anything, and sorry if you said this, but go back to bone stock no apps, do it before bed is when I do things like this, let it set if you still see that drain jigg it and return it. Honestly if it is a hardware problem I wouldn't try to mess with it and break it then be sol. Maybe it is the battery go to any att shop and they should flip you a new one for free if you get a cool dude or lady like I usually do. Sorry if my posts waste your time just trying to help

Any help is welcome, and thanks for your time. I think I'll try to wait another few days to see how the battery life is. As of now my battery dropped from 55% to 30% in a little more than an hour. I also didn't wake the device at this time. I hope it's not a hardware problem, I've noticed poor battery life for as long as I've had the phone but it wasn't as bad as it is now. Does anyone know about how the warranty works? I always thought the warranty lasted for 30 days or 3 months or something.

I'm on MeanBean .5 and my battery life, albeit not better than MeanRom, is not that bad. My internet usage reading is 8%. I usually don't leave my 3G/WiFi on all day and I only turn it on when I want to check something or get a MMS. I guess that's why my battery life isn't nearly as bad as yours on MeanBean.
So sounds like your battery life is about the same? Are you using the new kernel or the old one?
Yeah I would make that assumption. I'm using whichever kernel Mikey included in the Rom, which I'm assuming is the JB kernel because the ICS kernel won't work. I try to stay away from other kernels because the kernel Mikey includes in his Roms is usually tweaked to work specifically for his Roms.
Disable Google now, don't fill up every home screen with widgets, reboot and give the kernel a day to settle. That should improve your battery life to almost ics levels

I don't use Google Now, nor do I use any widgets other than weather. Hmmm...
Anyway if Google Now was the problem where would that show under battery usage statistics? Anyone know?

Something else to keep in mind is that MeanROM included Mikey's custom kernel, which was a big contribution to the fantastic battery life.

Someone on another forum suggested turning off location history in maps helped a lot with their battery life...
And someone else suggested a simple factory reset after flashing the ROM...(I know this helped out with a previous phone I had - it was burning battery like cray and running hot, and factory reset cured everything.)
I thought the batter life was much better with Meanbean
I've recently installed Jelly Bean (LS8) on a family member's S2 - and they've been having some trouble with it. I've attached a screenshot with the battery usage (it has <30 minute screen usage if that matters).
This type of drain occurs over Wi-Fi and 3G.
I've ruled out:
- The age of the battery (it's one month old).
- The cellular signal (always 3 - 4 bars over UMTS).
- The Bluetooth radio (I've turned it off and the same battery drain still occurs).
It's also worth noting that the process "Android OS" made the phone stay awake for 5 out of the 10 hours the phone was switched on. I've turned off Google Now and all geo-location services. The Wi-Fi arrows ALWAYS seem to be blinking. However, previously on ICS 4.0.4, leaving Wi-Fi on would not cause any such issues. What could be the problem?

You could try Watchdog task manager which will tell you if a particular process is using an unusually high proportion of your CPU resource.
If you find it is "Android Media Process" then try installing "Rescan Media Root" which will allow you to disable the scanning process. I assume you're rooted...
Have a look at other resource hogs while you're there - I found Facebook to be one of the other culprits.
I have attached two relevant screenshots from BBS. The wakelock "wlan_rx_wake" seems to be the main issue here, but I have no clue what's causing it. If it's important, there was pretty much only one partial wakelock present, ActivityManager-Launch, and for 30 seconds only.
Thanks for the help all, it's much appreciated.

Got the same issue and went back to ics 4.0.4 finally.
This ROM seems not to be for everyone. Made a full wipe bevor and after flashing. Re-flashed, powered the battery up to 100% and flashed it. At first it was worse than yours than i made it to last 21 hours till phone died. Installed BBS to find out what's going on but couldn't identify a single problem. Android OS used to much power. Was awake to long. Screen uses to much power as well. Seems to be a totaly f... up installation. Tried it 3 or 4 times but nothing went better significantly.
Hope you will have more luck

Car pairing. I've tried with it off, and the same battery drain occurs.
I'm going to try connecting the phone to an access point with no Internet connection and see if the drain still occurs. If not I'm gonna guess it's something on my network or a remote server trying to initiate a connection... Otherwise it's something on the phone that's causing the issue.
I'll try using Shark to capture the packets, I may be able to find something there.

NB: The device received an OTA today. Too early to tell if it's made a difference.

On my Siyah 6b4 kernel, withstands about 40h, sometimes wifi, 3g, I recomended flash.
I don't want to jump the gun, but it seems as if the OTA fixed the issue. No more Android OS "stay awake" / excessive wlan_rx_wake. I'll give it another day and then confirm back here.

Drain
Dear friends,
I had CM 9 with syhia kernel and my battery last 14/15 hrs of real world usage. I was happy.
I updated to cm10.1 qnd that was stupid... Really broken software.
So I wipe again and flash the omega rom based on ls8. Not more than 9 hrs. So i flashed dorimanx kernel 7.45 and with default profile I was able to hit 11 hrs of moderate use. Using battery profile got me around 13 but the phone behave like a htc hero...
I will see tomorrow and post BBS but in the mean time I would like to know if, in your opinion, this huge drain would get better using a neat sammy rom with a custom kernel.
Thank you
I have no idea what's going on. I'm in San Diego and there back in PA. I'm running out of ideas why the DNA is doing it. I have a modified S3 myself so I got no issues. But I had her download Better Battery Stats and WLD and this is what I got from her.
She does have the new 2.06 update.

Sorry to hear about the battery life. I personally have had amazing battery life. My phone was at 14% when I went to sleep and woke up to 7%. Not sure what the issue is. Connectivity is the only thing that stands out. I doubt she had bad reception. Any apps she's downloaded that could be using her connection more than it needs to? Only other thing could be is the battery. Does she leave it plugged in all night?

Well she was getting great battery life before 2.06 I think. And I know my house, the area is quite strong for a connection. I barely got signal in my room and I got better battery life even with RILJ tripping hardcore. Not sure about the apps. But She plugs it in before she goes to bed, and its by her side all night. So it's not left on the charger all night

Hmm. Could have been a bad update? I hate doing a factory reset but it sounds like it might come to that :/ before that when did the issue start? Maybe we can correlate an app download to the start of the issue?

It could be a bad update, but without me actually on the phone myself kinda hard to pin it down. Before the update she only installed a few apps. She already uninstalled 3 of them which she never used. I just looked the apps via Google Play online account and nothing looks suspicious and those are all the same apps she used on the Inc2 before she got the DNA

My guess the update didn't go as planned. Tell her to move all her files to her pc and do s factory reset. Hopefully that corrects the issue. All else fails. She could let the bootloader redo the update and hope that was the case.

Are you turning off data? Perhaps facebook is keeping your phone constantly awake(looks like it) and that kills your battery. First post a picture of the "other" category in better battery stats and get one power guard and post a screenshot of the "statistics" page.
Download gsam and look at what's taking up a big %. Somethings keeping your phone from going into deep sleep.

Yes I had her turn data off. The only time she is on 4G/3G is on the road. Her work place and home is all WiFi use. She is charging the phone so I'll have to get it for tomorrow.

I'll tell her to get GSAM. I even have DS Battery Saver running on it and whatever is running is bypassing DS
Here is the GSAM. Hasn't been running long but the kernel is doing something

Alright I told her to do that. Gmail is quite odd. I think the damn 2.06 update went bad but i can't be sure
EDIT: Here it is. Well the first one was a joke. My mother is a funny one. I suspected the worse. msm_hsic_host. Any way I can fix it without teaching my mom how to root or do other various mods?
Looks like she has bad reception. Go to settings, about and network to see the signal strength. msm_hsic wakelocks happen when you have a bad signal, ril also causes wakelocks. This is probably the issue(90% sure).

msm_hsic only relating to the S4 pro chipset or all phones? Cause I have very little signal where I sit in my room and I don't get anything msm, just a screw ton of rilj on a Galaxy S3

Try turning off "fastboot", make sure GPS and Bluetooth are "off"
Just some info you can take a screen shot by pressing the power button and the home button. Press power then quickly press the home key. Just thought that would help ya out with your captures.

Okay no problem wasn't sure you knew that or not I understand that she is sending you the screen shots. Very good then...
Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Using a stock rom, I'm losing maybe 10% an hour worth of batter with pretty consistent usage, but when I try CM, or an AOKP like RootBox or an AOSP like CarbonROM, I'm burning at least 3x that at over 30% an hour, with very minimal usage. Is this normal? It seems somewhat excessive, and unusable, to expect a little over 3 hours on a full charge. Is it due to the stock ROMs handling the 4 cores better? It's worth noting that I'm running ROMs with the included kernels for each, without changing any speed settings for the processor, and under stock, I'm using Eco Mode, which obviously will help some, but there's still a very, very big difference. If someone can point me at a solid ROM with a good kernel and good settings for battery life, I'd appreciate it. I'm not a very big fan of LG's stock experience, and changing the launcher and lockscreen only goes so far. lol

Even the sound quality (Incoming call and outgoing) is so low on AOSP based roms like CM etc. CM has always been like that on call quality since my Captivate days. I tried all the ROM's here and found out stock is better once u remove/freeze bloat. May be for others its been better i guess.
Chris, when you install the AOSP rom's are you restoring any system apps with TiBu? I'm experiencing (and I dare say many others are as well) really good battery life with RootBox. Some rogue app you are using is causing the drain because that is not normal behavior.
Maybe just install the ROM, gapps, and that's it for a few hours to see if it runs normally, then slowly start adding in your favorite apps. That way you might be able to determine what it's causing the problem. You should also install better battery stats or Dr. Power.

No, I didn't restore from TiBu, but I'll give RootBox a go again if you're having a good experience. Are you on the latest build with the included kernel?

Yes, I am on the latest RB; however, I'm running the latest Houcha kernel. I might give the included a kernel another go on houstonn's next release. He told me last night he's doing some fine tuning on some things and hopes to have another release fairly soon...I don't know what "soon" is to every other person, so don't quote me on that. :laugh: Personally, I'm not a fan of underclocking, and I tend to enjoy the additional cpu steps of Houcha over the included kernel.

Volume seems fine to me, but I use a Bluetooth headset. I don't like the volume on speakerphone, unless I'm in a quiet room. Also, if you use the Trickster Mod, it's got an option to increase volume in the settings, not sure if that requires that you have the faux sound version of a kernel or whatnot...

I'm on my second day on newest rootbox with included kernel. Running underclocked to 288 on the low end, smartmax governor. Unplugged this morning at 5:30 am. Hit 69% battery remaining when I picked my daughter up at 4:30 pm. Light use - 20 min screen on browsing, 15 min of phone calls, 40 min pandora on the ride home. One Google account syncing. FB and GNow active. Rest of the random background apps greenified. Wi-Fi and BT off.
It's definitely possible to get decent battery life on this ROM. As stated above, look for rogue apps. Better battery stats is my favorite app for doing this.

Thanks I'll run it for a couple days and give some feed back. So far its looking really promising...started off with about 80% battery before installing and managed to make it for close to 4 hours before going completely dead. Thats four hours of heavy use...web browsing, youtube, texting, flashing and editing apps. where im at my modem is working over time to keep signal plus massive machine interferance(long boring nights at the steel mill again lol) no tricks or tweaks either, auto sync, GPS, and WiFi (even thought not being used) were on.............its on lte too. So like i said it looks promising.
