Is anyone's camera app leading in app battery usage? I didn't take a single picture today but it had the most usage. Just curious if anyone would know why or if this is normal.

Yes..... But mine was for a camera error. The I ended up getting a replacement

Mine is leading in battery usage as well. Funny thing is, when you look at the details in the stock battery usage app, the only thing that shows is 3-90 seconds of forground CPU usage,and nothing else.
Using 3rd party apps (battery stats plus) shows 8-12 hours of camera sensor usage. What's the chance this is a bug?
Or maybe bad hardware.

I just took a look at mine. Looks like whenever the view finder is on it's using the GPS radio. That's probably not great for battery. Other than that I'm not sure.

Anyone else having this kind of battery drain?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I'm not sure if that's really that unexpected.
It shows the battery going down, yes, but it also shows the phone was awake and the screen on almost that entire time.
If I played a game on mine, with the screen on the entire time, my battery would go down quickly as well.
Looks like you are streaming music, so yeah, perfectly normal

Wasn't streaming music untill the last 3 mins rest of the time I was just reply to a text that's about it

If that's all you were doing, then you've got some app keeping your phone awake and the screen on.
Fresh install though of vipers 1.2 Rom as apps did not have a chance to install yet from back up. Anyone know if the lte will drain the battery even quicker or is it the same as the 3g since its now integrated?

I had a similar issue and backed up my apps and did a fresh install and everything is great now. Don't forget to wipe Google wallet first

I still think it's because the screen was on that entire time. Check to see if you have it set to auto brightness.
As far as lte/cdma setting, I have not seen any difference in battery life when leaving lte on.
Yea I had auto brightness on was that the cause of it?

Download badass battery monitor, it will tell you what is using battery. I had a problem with wakelocks from mediaserver, killed some photo and music syncing services and battery life improved substantially.

Thats a rogue app causing the high android sys.
+1, I've seen this on 2 handsets.
Using GSam Battery Monitor, then clicking on app usage ->android system -> manage -> clear defaults
The above seems to stop the issue after a reboot. I've not seen it happen again since I did that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 9hrs and 47% left doesn't seem like a problem... if you take your phone and leave it on (with screen off) and wait until it dies then charge and turn on you will see that the "system" eats almost all your battery. There is nothing wrong with your phone unless you used it a ton and the system still eats all your battery which If that is the case and it's been 9 hours and had 47% battery then I would think you were doing MUCH better than most, imho.

I've got the same problem. Only yesterday, mine was over 65%! My phones horrible on battery life. Some things definitely up
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
When I click manage it won't allow me to clear defaults...
And this began at around the 50% mark and as soon as it starts my battery starts dying way quicker
Do these screen shots help?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
any ideas? seems like xda needs to be manualy killed or it ends up using alot of resources in the bacground
I have seen the same on my phone, but it has not happened consistently enough for me to narrow down the possible cause...
Happened to me once so far. Charged my phone to full and went to work. I didn't use my phone for anything other than to check the time. I started noticing that the back of the phone was getting very hot, more so than when charging. I pulled my phone out and the battery was waaay down :
Hasn't happened since (fingers crossed).
Edit: I guess mine wasn't the Android system, but cell standby.

The fix for the cell standby drain is easy, see here: http://techsplurge.com/10665/solution-samsung-galaxy-s3-cell-standby-battery-drain-problem/ As for the android system drain it seems to have resolved itself. I still get alot of kernel wakelocks from bam_dmux_wakelock though
I am new to Android and very new to Samsung devices coming from iphone. Last night I was at 100% battery before bed and woke up at 71%. I didn't use the phone once. Is that normal? Should I be turning things off or something? 30% overnight drain seems wrong.

Seems like something is amiss. I left mine on all night lastnight at 33% I THINK and its at 18% right now. 1d 1h 55m 47s on battery with 3h 43m 23s of screen on time right now at 10:29AM
Hmm. I forgot to say I have power saving enabled and the usual battery saving tips too.

That js a very big problem. as you can see i get alot of time on battery. The graph shows that it charged about 10% while I was sleeping (not true). Are you rooted?

I am rooted. I checked battery usage and messaging was at the top? An exchange account is fully set to manual and nothing else.

my device drains less than 2% over the course of 8hrs when sleeping...you have a app causing a wakelock.

No. There's something wrong. Force Close the messaging app and restart it. Wait a few hours and see if its battery usage goes down.
Possible...
The most likely culprit is the "wakelock" issue mentioned above.
Basically it means something... most likely a poorly written app (also most likely a 3rd party non-google app) is preventing the phone from entering its idle/sleep mode, in which it scales back the CPU to minimum, and other bits enter low power states to conserve battery life.
An app that likes to live on the internet or update frequently, or constantly wakes the device to do things, can cause large amounts of drain as well.
It is also possible that signal strength is a cause. Poor/low signal can keep the radio working at higher power levels and that drains battery fast.
Is there any way to check for wakelock applications causing issues? I have removed a few possible applications and force stopped others. I seem to be losing 1-3% battery per hour on idle. Normal now based on everyone's experience?
If it is a signal strength issue I can live with that but the drain still seems steep.
Sorry for the questions. Too new to this to be able to determine if there are issues and everyone is having great battery life.

Several battery apps that can show that type of info, I've used Gsam battery monitor before myself.
gsam battery moniter is what i use on a daily basis. it will let you know what is draining your battery. Link is for the free version. I have the paid.

Gsam battery monitor is pretty amazing. Thank you. I have an application called "Media" that seems to be running at idle. I can disable it but it looks like I would disable the Download application. It includes a process com.android.providers.media and android.process.media.

I've had a problem in the the last week my note has started to shutdown when the battery gets low. It does fine until it gets to the point where the battery shows yellow and then it just shuts off. There's no notification like normal or anything to let me know it's going to happen. I thought it was the battery so I bought a new one and it does the same thing. I thought maybe something corrupted the rom so I wiped it and reflashed fresh WITHOUT using a backup and it still happens. I starting to think it's a hardware issue has anyone else ran into this?

You still haven't ruled out software if you flashed the SAME Rom/kernel.
assuming the rom is fine, download isn't corrupt, and you flash it properly... Do you do batt calibration and or wiping batt stats? update recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The roms fine I used it for a long time with no issues. What is the best app for battery calibration
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Charging it to full for longer than you might normally would do more than any app....
The os wipes the stats each time the battery is charged fully, and are only used to display usage in the battery section of the settings menu. They do not actually effect power consumption at all.
I usually try to run the battery down before bed so it can charge overnight and it still just shuts off. I'm really starting to believe it's a hardware issue. Like the phone doesn't recognize where the battery level is correctly

Try cleaning the battery contacts with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Probably won't help... but does no damage to try.
OK thanks

The battery drain is coming from Google now location reporting services. I've disabled the Reporting Location piece and battery life has improved tremendously. You will lose the ability for Google now to "learn" location and give you timely reminders. Other than disabling this option, I've gone down every other option with no better results. Good luck!
