Hey guys, please post your battery stats by using app called better battery stats. I have to charge my every 10 hours. My phone was in deep sleep for 6hrs or so. My battery drain average is 10.4%/hour. So, please post your battery stats using better battery stats. btw, I'm using stock gb rom with tagb 1.2 hotfix kernel. My battery drains even in deep sleep mode (I guess, I'm not sure) The person who has best stats may tell us some tips.
PS: please download better battery stats app from xda, as the developer provides free version for xda users, but in market its paid app.

Even if we post our battery stat..
The problem lies in
How we use our phone
How old is our phone
ROM and kernel versions
Applications installed
and everything related..
You cannot compare an apple to a orange.
I think this is very decent battery life (using CM9).

We can't compare everything! We can compare something like which app they use for texting, which are the apps that keep phone awake; what are the alternatives for that app, what are governors people use for normal use! Etc

Depends on your usage. Of course, powersave would be in the running for best battery life, but it would not be ideal if you are a gamer or heavy user. I personally use a governor not available on any of the GB kernels as far as I know (SmartassH3).
Never liked SetCPU. I use No frills; simple UI, allows you to change governor and I/O scheduler, look at some frequency stats, etc.

SmartassH3 is supposed to be a more battery efficient version of Smartassv2.
I don't think changing your governor will help with sleeping issues. Governors only affect how the CPU ramps up and down. If you have issues with your phone sleeping, then it is most likely one of your apps.
Since you already have BetterBatteryStats, you can easily check partial wakelocks and see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.
I really doubt upgrading the app will change the battery usage of your phone.
If you cared about battery life, being on stock is bad start. Why not use CM7 or CM9?

Just change the rom and Kernel.
You are getting so many bugs and yet you didn't flash new rom.
I recommend that you change roms and see what's best for your phone and your usage.
I'm not sure but the kernel you are using is for gaming I think. ie. More power, less battery.
Anyways here is a battery usage graph :

You may use Setcpu or similar app to restrict the CPU from overheating. Setcpu is free for XDA members.

download betterbatterystats and see if you have app wakelocks. You could show us your battery usage history. are you running a stock build with a rooted stock kernel? more info = better help . I'd recommend Voltage Control over Setcpu too. It's lighter and should you undervolt it too much, rather than having to flash a reboot package, it delays your undervolt settings for 20 seconds at boot so you can cancel them.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

"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.

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)...
I know there's a lot of battery threads out there, I've been reading most of them but I got no help from them.
I recently updated my phone from ICS to JB, and now I'm running NeatROM and Siyah Kernel. And since the update I've noticed an abnormal battery drain. Just now, in 20 minutes, it has lost 3%.
Now, I'm not new to smartphones, so before you say, yes, I have done all the possible things to prevent the drain: Greenify, Wifi OFF, GPS OFF, Sync OFF, all OFF, battery saver mode, minimum brightness...
Actually now I'm using a generic 4300mAh battery from a friend and I only get a little more than a day. I'm using the phone but not in a hard way. Minimun time on wifi, some messages, one or two calls, and some internet surfing, not much.
Is it normal all this? Am I going mad? If you guys need any info/screenshots to maybe identify something please tell.
Thanks.
Usual fixes are go back to fully stock and see if it is still the same, if yes then replace the battery with a quality make, if still the same then probably a hardware fault.
Well, the change, as I said, was just after the change from ICS to JB, so I don't think it is any of those...

Or remove from /system and reinstall from market... my battery lasts nearly two days after moving all Google bloat... greenify puts it all to sleep and phone doesn't wake up for anything except calls and texts... brill :thumbup:

I will do that with maps.With which any other Google bloatware should I do the same?
Try using wake lock detector it really gives a nice info on what process is taking your battery .
You could also try changing the cpu scaling logic. This seems to give the best battery life enhancement.

I think the battery is going better now. I wiped the internal sdcard and now I have 70% with 8 hours of phone. Is that normal?
EDIT
I mean with stock battery. Also, I limited the CPU from 1400 to 900 long time ago.
I have also extracted the external sd because lately it was giving problems like removing and mounting itself a lot...
OK, so I got like 25 hours with normal-low use. Is that average?

I tried that but I didn't notice any battery improvement. Also, Voodo Sound is so much better, in my opinion.
Without a custom kernel you can not apply any undervolting or change the cpu scaling logic Max frequency etc.
Try a custom kernel again but this time dont just leave it with the default settings . Change them . Remember you can always install voodoo sound on top of any other sound mod.

I think there is no way to fix battery which u don't use it after your phone has charged full. Just use stock rom. Just same like me, i'm same rom with your but i had battery phone like your. After i have used ThunderKernel. That kernel has fix my battery but just only a bit fix. I'm configure it with 936-416 and my governor i have choose is "Smartassv2" and my I/O Scheduler is "cfq". Try it if don't working try another max clock ,min clock ,governor and I/O scheduler apart from that I mentioned to you.

Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases
