I've been trying to figure out why I'm having such bad battery life lately. I noticed that the stock sms app kept the CPU awake for over two hours, and I don't see why. The smsdispatcher wakelock in BBS shows 10 minutes. I'm using JellyBam 5.1.0 and Siyah 7.6 by AJ.

didn't use any such apps
Anyone else with the same problem?
My highest kernel wakelock is: "battery-monitor"
I don't have any battery monitor applications on my phone.
How are you reading wakelock stats?
And now please don't say BetterBatteryStats because that IS a battery/system monitoring app.
Edit: How high exactly is the wakelock?

Hehe, I'm using BetterBatteryStats.
After running on battery for 10 hours, it's on the third place of Kernel Wakelocks, with 5m 18s.
Strange, same issue here. Not using any battery monitors, but highest kernel wakelock is "battery-monitor" with 22m26s out of 8h+.
mine too
also galaxy s3
I have close to 2 hours of battery monitor wakelock after 9 hours. Pissing me off. Also S3.
And how many of you are using the widget or any other battery widget?
Kernel wakelock held by "battery-monitor" here too, have BBS installed but im not using the widget. So then it's byebye to that app
Haha, my first post since i registered 7 years ago, lurkerwin!
Mine is always in the awake status. No idea why?

I saw the same thing on my Note 2. The only 'battery' related app I'm running
is BetterBatteryStat.
Any suggestions?

I have the same. Someone has news about it?
I'm running kyan 1.15f currently, no overclocking scripts or anything of the sort, but android system is eating 59% of my battery ! After just 2 hours of almost no use, I'm down to 79 % battery :/
Recommendations?

Hi,
I am using Omega v34 ROM and battery very, very bad. On stock rom I had, at least one full day of usage, but now it is a figt to go through working day (7-9h).
I wiped battery stats following a procedure, but that didn't help at all.
And one more thing TouchWizz is crashing at least 5 times a day.

You would need to provide more information.
Have you check what's draining your battery? (you can find a general list in settings--> battery)
You should also try to use better battery stats and ask on the BBS thread/forum for help there to see what the culprit is.
I have between 8hrs to almost 2 days depending on usage.
It seems like screen is using allmost 40% of battery.

set it to automatic brightness. Also use better battery stats and do a full day or night log and ask for help in their forum to see what might be draining your phone.

As mentioned above, sounds like you might have a wakelock somewhere. You can identify any rogue apps with better battery stats and then uninstall or freeze them. Try using power saving mode, you shouldn't really notice any decrease in performance but your battery life will improve. You should be able to get screen on time off about 3 - 4 hours.

I have a Juice defender ultimate and JD is taking care of brightness (but never over 65%).
How can I do this log?

Stop using those apps. They use more battery than they save.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
"battery saving" apps are really bad for your phone to begin with. remove that junk first. It's probably one ofnthe culprits keeping your phone awake.
then do the BBS thing I mentioned earlier.

Issues connecting to unsecured wifi hotspots
Using Omega v34 and love it! but when I try to connect to my unsecure wifi at work it won't connect. Please help
There seems to have been quite a lot of discussion regarding issues with battery life on Omega 34, in the Omega thread. Because of battery issues that some people are experiencing, Chris_84 has a suggestion in his FAQ (question 27).
You could try a different kernel. Apparently the Yank kernel is pretty good for battery life (I use Siyah version 1.8.4 with Omega 34 and get brilliant results, but then I don't use my phone that heavily. The Siyah kernel allows you to tweak some settings that help with battery).
Also, a lot of comments in the Omega thread talk about installing BBS (Better Battery Stats, as per the comments by mputtr) and posting the log file into the BBS thread (or even in the Omega thread).

Not sure, but have you tried;
a) Removing the WiFi profile off your phone and setting it up again.
or
b) Reset the router (if work let you)...
Hello, so Ive just updated my Samsung s2 to the nexus ROM 4.2.2 and the battery is doing just fine, the problem is when I lock my phone, the battery runs out like if I was using it normally. I've tried setcpu app but it doesn't seem to work. For example yesterday at 12 am my battery was at 40% and I slept for a few hours than I woke up at 5 am and my phone was already off. I didn't have this problem on jb 4.1.2. Please I need help! Thank you
I'm not sure..... I don't seem to have that problem.

Install Better battery stats from Android Apps & games section. Enable watchdog in settings, then check out if any app is waking up during sleep!! On JB for me battery drain on sleep is quite low!
OK I'll try but if it doesn't work, I might change my ROM so which one do you recommend me for the s2?

I have GSam battery monitor installed on my Note 3 (SM-900) running stock JB 4.3 (MK1) ....
Since a last few days I have witnessed battery drain on my phone without any apparent reason....I charge my phone to 100% at night (wifi & 3G data is off at night) & when I wake up after about 8 to 9 hours of sleep I find that the battery is down to 85% !!! Strange isn't it ...
GSam battery monitor says that nearly 67% of battery is used by "App Usage" , on clicking App Usage for bifurcation of battery usage I find that nearly 50% of my battery is used up by "Kernel (Android OS)"......How to control this , any help will be appreciated dear forum friends !!
Please help me to solve this....

No...
Do you have Google Now turned on? If so try turning off location reporting in Google maps and see if it helps, it's made a huge difference on mine.
Turning the location off helps. The GPS kills the battery.
