Edit: stock kernel with fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42236453
A1 kernel also has fix! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30222169
__________
I have had a problem with battery life due to l2_hsic wakelock for a long time. The wakelock has been present on both stock ICS and CM 10 with my P7500. Have searched for a solution for weeks and finally realized that the problem it is modem related. Flashed a modem from before ICS, and the wakelock is now gone. What a relief to get my honeycomb battery life back! I am now running CM10 and A1 kernel V1.8.4.
The modem I flashed was XXKK2.

Re: L2_HSIC wakelock solution
Are you able to make full voice calls with the device after flashing this modem? How good is the reception for mobile data, stable or flunctuating? I am CM10 4.1.2.
Thanks.

I am also on CM10 4.1.2. Unfortunately, I have not tried using voice calls so I do not know. I am satisfied with mobile data reception, but have not made a thorough comparison.
Well, that was disappointing...
I have the exact same issue with battery life, which on GB used to last almost 2 weeks (when the tab was not used much), and after upgrading to stock ICS 4.0.4 it now can't even hold for 2 days! CPU runs @ 200MHz ~85% of the time the screen is off and there are obviously plenty of l2_hsic wakelocks.
As suggested I replaced modem XXLQ8 with XXKK2, wiped cache and dalvik, but there is absolutely no difference in the battery life or CPU states.
I am truly devastated..
I can't imagine going back to stock GB, so is the only solution left for me now is to try an unstable nightly build of CM 10.1?

Have you tried in combination with A1 kernel? Changing the modem made all the difference for me. An I am at CM 10 with A1 kernel.

Did not do anything better for me, flashed a new modem.... No change.
Hi!
I found the reason of the high number of L2_HSIC wakelocks in my environment.
I have a Canon multifunction scanner/printer, connected via WiFi to my home PC.
It turns out that when you install the "Canon IJ Network Scan Utilities", there's a process called CNMNSUT.EXE that wakes up every second and broadcasts a BJNP packet to the whole local network. These packets are precisely the reason why I used to get so many network-related wakelocks (yes, I also had WLAN_RX_WAKEs).
Now... this process is responsible for the communication between the scanner and the Canon driver running on the PC: more specifically, it's the process that allows you to scan a document entirely from the scanner's panel, without having to do anything on the computer.
So, here's what I did to work around the problem, while still preserving the ability to scan via the panel:
I configured a fixed IP address for the multifunction printer/scanner on my router;
I restricted the communication to and from CNMNSUT.EXE only from/to the printer/scanner's IP address, using a custom rule in my firewall.
In this way, all the broadcast BJNP packets sent by CNMNSUT.EXE are blocked by the firewall, except the ones directed to the printer, and my phone doesn't receive those packets anymore.
I hope this helps at least some of you...

Hi,
Is the wakelock gone for you still? I've noticed it comes back sometimes. Can you please share a screenshots of the battery life and such?
Are you still using A1 kernel and this ROM 10.1 CM
or which ROM are you using?
Has any one tried 10.1v ROM?

Yes, unfortunately the wakelock comes back from time to time, with a few days in between. My dirty fix has been to use the app Reboot Scheduler to reboot my tab every night. A reboot "fixes" the wakelock. This has reduced the probability that my tab is awake for any length of time and the total battery time is close to battery time without wakelock.

Hi
Last night i installed the [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.1][STABLE] SuperNexus - I9300 - BUILD 1 on my Galaxy S3 device and i noticed my battery is draining out like crazy. Cell Standby and Screen are using more than 40% each.
When i was using Ice Cream Sandwich i had the same problem but after installing the battery fix it all worked so tried the fix on JB and nothing.
Is there any other fix or solution for this?

That is not repeat not a battery fix if you read the post it fixes a misreported figure only .
battery drain is user start with Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks .
Battery requires five days use from flashing a new rom .

Screen will always use 40%+ unless you aren't using your phone.

Running the same build myself and experienced an 18% drop last night on standby with Wi-Fi on over 7 hours, i have flashed the latest Siyah kernel update today and ive every confidence this will increase battery life as when i checked the kernel wakelocks this morning the wakelocks were big, the CM kernel i believe is the main culprit in this instance.
Also take into consideration any apps / widgets you have which update and any sTuff you rarely or never use freeze in Titanium backup and also go into advanced in Wi-Fi and set to never or only when plugged in and this will make a difference.
And finally don't use Juice Defender or any other battery saving apps as they use up more battery than they save!

I installed syiah kernel s3-v1.5beta5 over CWM yesterday and still no change, Cell Standby is now using 70% while screen dropped to 7%. I will
now try to disable all automatic updates.
After installing [ROM][AOSP] [4.1.1] Liquid JellyBean Beta 1.1 battery works pretty good without even installing kernel 1.5beta4.
Cell standby dropped to 37% and Screen to 27%
I must say this ROM works faster and adds a few cool options for personalization.

- I recommend you to go to stock or modified ICS , simply functioning Roms and stable .
- JB you can flash it just for fun , still under construction and testing , can't litterly judge it .
You may want to try different modems. Cell standby is mostly not influenced by the ROM but your reception and the flashed modem.

My operator is Movistar from Spain and i am currently outside of the country. I flashed my S3 to JB after leaving the country and now i have no reception, can this be the reason why Cell Standby is always around 70%?

I am using this Rom as well and i must say it`s very good. Have a lot setup possibilities, and runs very smooth. For me i`ts the best JB Rom, better than SuperNexus. Just have the one issue - camera!
Hey friends I am currently running the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM on my international GS3 i9300 and it is also rooted of course and I don't think I'm being paranoid but my battery life has took a massive drop since rooting my device. I am not overclocking mu CPU and I have tried out some rooted apps like battery saver for example and I actually think it made it worse. I have all the usual setting disabled to allow for optimal battery life like brightness right down, auto sync off, wi-fi off when the phone is locked I also only use the wi-fi manually if and when I need it and all that good stuff like smart stay and vibration off. I am wondering if anyone knows of something I'm not trying???
Had it charged to 100% this morning at 9PM and by 1PM I'm down to 79% already and I haven't made any calls and only used it to check my email and facebook for around 10 mins!!! is this normal for everyone else???
:crying::crying::crying:
Cheers

Sound normal for Sammy JB rom.
Some said Facebook is also causing the battery drains.

Did you reset your battery stats? Charge to 100%, reset battery stats from CWM or delete batterystats.bin -file, let the battery run out.
You might want to use currentwidget to log your battery usage.
I noticed big battery drop between 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 used to get 24 hours one charge 4 hours screen time. Now I get only about 12 hours.
Might just be me :/

I'm using also omega rom v28, have it installed recently. I cannot say how good is the battery with this rom, but so far I have like 56% in 20h, with 2h screen, sopcast 30min, voice cals 37mins....etc (also using wifi manually when needed)
Try out different roms and find out what works for you.
You can also use an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery. Its just to check whats use power.
Don't use batterysaving apps most of the time they are making it worse
I'm running Omega ROM V27.2 and yes it's normal to have a difference about battery life between ICS & JB.
To improve my battery life I installed the phenomenal extreme kernel, and now I'm totally happy with it. You should take a look to its topic in the GS3 Android Development forum. The dev developed 3 versions of his kernel to fit to most of the phone.
Also as others told you, you should get BBS app to point out the wakelocks & define which app is your problem.
Personally, I'm at 45% charged, and already used it during 21h 10m including more than 2 hours screen on. My auto-sync is always on and my WiFi only when I enable it. I'm using a live wallpaper and a lot Twitter.
When I do nothing I can reach more than 2 days.

I use the Phenomenal4.0Medium Kernel and i must say the BatteryLife is very good. I`m working over 15 ours with him and i have 58 % on it.
My WIFI is every time on and Autosync when i use my calender and planners. For me a good app handdling battery life is "GREENPower" in Market Place.

As he recommends ...identifying and reducing your wakelocks should be your primary concern. Been reading loads from developers that the insecure jb kernels themselves should already provide good battery management.

Hey guys, if you are going to use custom ROM's you should be prepared for bad battery. The developers are adding so many different features and hacking certain apps to make them work in their ROM's without a lot of investigation into what the reprecussions to battery are. I used to always use custom ROM's but haven't installed one in about 6 months and haven't any problems with battery life. I have the latest JB on my 9300 and battery life is very good. I use GSAM to watch apps that want to go rouge and start sucking battery life. Media Player Service is a big offender as is Facebook. Also stock widgets that get placed by these JB ROM's are always pinging for new data and kill battery quickly. Get rid of them! If you have a stock ROM and are getting bad battery, 99% of the time it will be bad apps, your job is to determine which ones they are and apps like betterbatterystats and GSAM work great to help diagnose the issue.
can anybody else confirm the above post? because i am not sure about the custom roms.

I will soon have an S3 so I cannot speak specifically about this device / ROM(s).
What I know from using a lot of Android devices and testing original ROMs vs. custom ROMs:
- original ROMs have too much garbage built-in apps and are slower
- original ROMs have everything working
- custom ROMs are much cleaner and faster
- custom ROMs have (too) much problems, something always not working 100%
- custom ROMs usually have stability & battery issues
My personal advice:
- install latest ORIGINAL ROM.
- root it
- install the free app "App Backup & Restore" from Google Play
- search unuseful apps from Samsung (& others) and block the autorun of these apps (note: do not block basic android or samsung apps, as phone, contacts, etc)
I use this method for 1.5 years and this way my Android is clean (you can save over 100-150Mb RAM), FAST and much better battery. Try it.
In the end, if original ROMs have too many original apps, custom ROMs have to many tweeks that in the end, for my taste, the original ROMs + App Backup & Restore win hands down.

I have always had custom roms on all my android devices but at the moment I am running stock ics in my s3.
I don't think the S3 needs it.
To be honest I find a lot of the stock based roms full of changes I don't really need, ARHD was a great Rom but recently has started to lag really badly for me (and some other users) so I went back to stock just to see and so far I can't complain. Smooth, fast and the battery is as good if not better than the custom roms.
If the camera didn't suck so bad on AOSP I would be there in a instant

I've tried so many stock ROMs, custom ROMs and full wipes, and I haven't gotten anywhere. My phone's battery drains around 6-10% an hour (and that's a conservative estimate) while on battery with Wi-Fi on. For comparison my Wi-Fi on my GALAXY Note 10.1 has been connected for 12 hours straight and the battery has gone down by around 2%. Thus I am convinced I do not have a network problem. I also do not believe it is a rogue app: I have of course checked BBS for wakelocks and while I do see a fair amount of wlan_rx type wakelocks there is no app behaving out of the ordinary. I have also tried turning off sync, but to no avail.
TL;DR Thus my question to you is, which ROM (if any) can prevent this Wi-Fi drain from occurring?
I think wifi drain is often more related to your kernel. Maybe you should try Siyah kernel. Or if you're running a stock rom, Speedmod kernel.

Agreed. Wifi is controlled by the kernel, every rom and kernel I've used drain the battery when connected to wifi. It's just a power hungry system. Try to reduce screen brightness whilst browsing.

You can try dorimanx Kernel too. Just be careful which version of any kernel you flash. Make sure it is compatible with the version of android you are running.

When I got my SGS3, I could have it on for about 2 days (with minimal use and bluetooth and gps off and such), but ever since I updated to 4.1.2 (from ICS to JB), it looks like the battery drains a lot faster. So I got Titanium Backup and removed most of Samsung's' bloatware, disabled Google now and finally got BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint the source. I found some minor things and disabled them too... I've optimized all settings across the board, yet I still can't get much longer than one day.
Now I get that one day is nice, and most people charge every day, but when you're used to having 2 days (or at least 1.5 on normal use), 1 day is just.. less
So, I am kind of hoping that someone with more knowledge than me (basically everyone here ) would have a look at my BBS dump file, because I'm kind of at a loss.
It would be much appreciated!

Do you mean "Location determined by wi-fi and/or mobile networks"? Isn't that used (among other things) to find the GPS sattelites way faster (because if it knows where you are, it knows where the sattelites are)? Because I use my phone for car navigation, I really would prefer not to wait 5 minutes while my phone searches the sky for GPS...
I'll turn the option off for now, but do you really think that's the main problem? Because I had the option on before this update.
Still, thank you for your suggestion
Location by wifi is unrelated to GPS location, it's just a way of roughly fixing your location by the networks and wifi around you.
It's a battery hog and doesn't matter AGPS, which is used to speed up GPS fixes but gets downloaded via your data connection.
I found JB to be better for battery life that ICS, even on a stock ROM. Since changing to a minimumcustom ROM based on the latest stock I get two days use with around 6hr screen on time.
If you are still on stock that was updated from ICS then you might be better off wiping the phone and flashing a fresh install, even if you only use the stock JB ROM for your country, as things might have become corrupted over time.

I think your issue is fast dormancy as you have the secril_fd wakelock.
There is an app on playstore that can toggle fast dormancy on or off on the Galaxy S3.
Give it a try and see if things improve.

Ok, I've installed it and turned FD off... I'll do a full charge now and see how long that keeps. Thanks for your suggestion! Is FD a new feature since JB? Because I haven't changed providers so if this has always been the case, it's probably still a seperate problem.
To be completely sure, I'd still like to do the complete reinstall, so I would really appreciate it if someone would point me in the direction of official updated stock roms. Thanks!

You can reset it completely through Kies if you go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Installation and follow the instructions this will flash the latest firmware and reset your phone, do any backups you need first like contacts etc, then root the phone again or do whatever you want afterwards.
FD is not new. It just depends whether you provider supports it or not. If it is not supported and switched on it can cause battery drain.
Saying that my network does support it but when I first upgraded to XELLA I started getting the secril_fd wakelock. Switching off FD solved it at the time. Since then I have made a few changes, including modem and have switched it back on again without issue.
I noticed you've also got the Multipdp wakelock. A modem change sorted that one for me.
As I say I've since moved back to XELLA without issue and neither wakelock has returned.

I've found all the JB ROMs that I've tried to consume alot more battery than ICS, with the same set of apps running and the same location/sync settings. I eventually reverted to CheckROM 3.5 (ICS) to get decent battery life again.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think that's my problem though: my provider hasn't changed, the only thing that changed is that I upgraded to JB. Either way, I tested it: with FD off I still have pretty much the same result (maybe a bit better, but I need to properly test that. Yet it's definitely not the problem ). Too bad, it was a good suggestion.

Thank you! I just did this. I expected that all my settings would be gone, but apparently that's not the case. All my apps remain, so I wonder if this wiped it properly? I did lose root though. Well, I'll charge it to 100% and we'll see what happens from there. Thanks!
Perhaps rolling back to your previous modem would help.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think that's my problem though: my provider hasn't changed, the only thing that changed is that I upgraded to JB. Either way, I tested it: with FD off I still have pretty much the same result (maybe a bit better, but I need to properly test that. Yet it's definitely not the problem ). Too bad, it was a good suggestion.

overnight it lost 25% in 11h42m, so I'd say that's a definite improvement. It didn't see any use in this time, but it should last me at least 1.5 day now, so I guess the problem was in the update after all. The battery of my (6 months newer) SGS3 still holds out longer, but I think that's the battery itself: hers also charges faster than mine.
Thank you all, for helping to think up solutions and get it working for me again! :victory:
Edit: Multipdp is now a lot higer up in the list (it's the top partial wakelock), maybe I should change modems. Can someone tell me how?
You can download a flashable zip from here.

ROM Sotmax Ultimate V14
Kernel Yank555.lu-V3.1h
Hi folks.
I've flashed liquid smooth 2.3 (jelly bean 4.2.2) by safestrap 3.1 on slot 3, just like recommended by its developers (at least is what I've read on some tutorials).
I'm enjoying this rom very much, but I've experienced some issues, like:
1) File explorers incompatibility. When I open a file explorer (tried some), it just close automatically at the moment I try to open internal sdcard.
2) Some random reboots (just a few. commonly after trying installing some app by play store - couldn't see a pattern - or trying to use a file explorer).
3) Battery seems to be drained faster. On stock rom the battery used to last about 3-4 days. I'm not a heavy user and I turn off the phone by night near to 11/12pm, turning it on again by 6/7 am. Now the battery lasts 2 days, at most, using the same way.
It has 4 months of use, never dropped or something harmful. I'd like to keep this rom, even in the case these issues are not solved.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Not sure about the Force closures....
But one thing is for sure when it comes to custom ROMS
you need to atleast have the rom for 1 week before you really judge the Battery life...
By 1 week i meant about 5-7 charge n discharge cycles...
The ROM will be Sucking the battery for in initial days after which it will stablise! hope this helps!
(i have flashed many rom n have seen this trend)
Thanks, buddy.
Actually I've flashed it a few days ago and did just two cycles of full discharge/charge. I'll wait for another three or four cycles to see what happen.
Other doubt, I've noted the wifi's signal is weaker. Where I used to see two or three bars, now I'm getting just one or two. Do you know what it can be?

Today the nova launcher was updated by the play store and it seems to be solved the internal sdcard issue. Now I can access sdcard0 with several file explorers I've tried.

I'm using it with the boot menu, and I have a problem with the wifi does not detect the 5Ghz band.
Hi Max.
I didn't even know our xt910 can capture 5 GHz signal.
I've noted the strenght of the signal dropped down, but I've been using it just at 2.4 GHz.
The battery began to show some improvement. I'm using it for 3 days and 6 hours and still have 14%. (Couldn't send a screenshot)
In short, this is my definitive rom. I'll get use with this weaker signal.
I got a router wifi at work right beside me, and at home the distance is not that long, at most about 12 meters straight ahead, with two walls in between.
I'll live...

Well, now I'm testing Liquid Smooth 2.3 + JBX Kernel 0.4.6 OCE (OverClocking Edition).
So far, it's stable and raised up AnTuTu 3 to 8986 points at 1350 MHz.
I've tested JBX Kernel 0.4.5 BSE (Battery Saving Edition) for only two days. Despite was not time enough to test its main characteristic (battery saving), I can say that had run stable, marked 7479 point on AnTuTu 3 with the clock at 1000 MHz.
Let's see if this kernel actually is stable. I've flashed 0.4.6 OCE just about 4 hours until now...
Max, I finally saw where we set wifi to operate with 5 GHz. I was pleased to know about this possibility. I'm going to try it and let you know about.

Llama wifi off
Hi, does anyone have a problem using Llama to turn wifi off? Llama crashes every time it tries.
Thanks.
EDIT: I just deleted the slot, recreated and reflashed. It looks like it's working fine now.
News from other rom (avatar)
Hi guys!
Well, I've tested Liquid Smooth 2.8 and liked it. Basically it seemed to be a bit more stable than the last I've used (version 2.3). Battery life is about to 2-3 days, depends basically on 3g (the Aquiles' heels of all batteries). Some few loss of wifi and needed to reboot. Wifi calibration won't help when this issue happens. I liked LS and the only issue that bothered me a little was the fact the wifi's signal was a bit weaker. Just it.
I've tested CyanogenMod 10.1 and basically almost the same: wifi's signal weaker, but in this case I haven't got wifi loss of signal. Liquid Smooth uses a little bit less memory than CyanogenMod, about 50-80 MB in general. Battery life is quite as good as LS. I've got until 4 days of battery life with CyanogenMod 10.1, but with less usage. Detail: wifi is always on (both cases).
Now I'm testing Avatar, based on 3.0 arion (CyanogenMod), about 2 weeks. This rom doesn't loss wifi's signal, but I need to calibrate it every boot. Just it.
I've noted that wifi's signal is as good as stock rom, better than LS and pure Cyanogen. For the first time I've got 5(!) days and 9 hours of battery life. I was amazed about that.
In this 5 days:
- wifi always on
- e-mail checking (everyday)
- music playing about some hours in 2 days (weekend)
- some internet surfing (everyday)
- about 2 hours of 3g (weekend)
- some photos (3 days I guess, don't remember exactly)
- some google play updates on wifi
- whatsapp e gmail always on
- some skype conversation (just chat)
What taked my attention the most was the fact I've used in other roms JBX kernel in underclock mode (100 mhz - 1200 mhz) and now it's stock tuned (300 mhz - 1200 mhz) (the kernel thas was shipped with avatar rom).
I've used and I'm using (in all roms) the app PimpMyRom beta. Did all the tweaks. I've used in all roms.
Avatar Antutu 3.3.2
Forgot to mention.
Antutu 3.3.2: 8510 (stock 1200 mhz, HotPlug, Noop)
The best score until then was 8929 with overclock (1350 mhz) on jbx kernel (don't remember exactly the version) with Liquid Smooth 2.8.
I'm enjoying this rom until now. No lag at all, always at least 300 mb of free ram, better battery life and good wifi signal strength.
Just now I could send the screenshot.

Good news from version 3.0.1. Don't need to calibrate WiFi to put it on.
Just installed this update.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Flashed 3.0.3.
Need to calibrate WiFi only the first time after flashing, not on every reboot.
I've tested jbx 0.7d on 3.0.1 but it didn't work well. Stucked on a reboot and needed to reflash stock again.

Tried 3.0.4. Need more memory than 3.0.3, about 100 MB. Removed.
Tried 3.1. Some force closures and reboots. Removed.
Tried 3.0.5 (after 3.1). The same as 3.0.4. Removed.
Got back to 3.0.3. Nice again. Less than 400 MB used RAM. Stable.
Versions 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 are stable, but they use more RAM than 3.0.3. Don't know why.
I did clean installatons. Removed slot 1. Create it again. Flashed the new ROM.

Something weird happened yesterday.
I use to listen to some music when I go home after job, but last evening the music player just refused to work saying that it couldn't read the mp3s.
Well, I went to open the music folder in the sdcard when I was surprised by the non existence of an sdcard.
I rebooted, cleared the caches by safestrap and then... it booted on stock....
Rebooted again, opened safestrap and was caught by a suprisingly loss of the slot1. It was not there anymore. Booted in stock again and it showed up the sdcard and the internal memory empty.
Any clue?
Now I'm trying cm10.2 again. WiFi is working, but just after a calibration. Until now it seems everything is working: WiFi, camera, 3g, apps in general, GPS, sensors, etc. Just didn't test HDMI, but I've never used it, neither at stock ROM, so it doesn't bother me.

Whoa, you really made me wanna try Avatar ROM hehe...
But no clue about your ROM slot disappearing issue, never heard of it... is your SD card working right now?
I was trying CM10.2 aswell, and it worked really great, but right now I am back on latest AOKP nightly, i have never seen any other ROM works so smooth and fast... + I love their features Only problem is that you have to manually fix GPS, but thats job for 2 minutes.
Hi tsunamik
Yes, sd card is working fine, but guess what? I'm back on stock rom...
Do you know if it's possible to flash custom roms on stock slot?
It seems the slots are made on user partition, not on rom partition. That's why I'm wondering about that.
