I have this kernel wakelock "boot_hsic" that is keeping my phone awake pretty much 100% of the time and there is absolutely no deep sleep. As a result I'm losing about 7.6% per hour while not using the phone making it impossible to use as my phone since I either have to keep it plugged in or turned off completely.
Here are the things did to try to get rid of it without any results:
-full wipe -> flash new rom (tasks aokp 1.22, jellybam 6.4/6.5) -> install only better battery stats
-flash different kernel (AJK, STI 2.31) -> still only app installed was better batter stats
-flashed back to stock using odin -> installed only better battery stats
With any of the rom's or kernels installed I turned off wifi, sync, data, gps, nfc to make sure that nothing is running.
If anyone has any idea of what I can do to fix this I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks in advance

Yup, I formatted the internal SD card (don't have an external SD card) as well as the system.
Thanks for the reply, I haven't been able to find any information relating to this wakelock anywhere so any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated. So thank you
Did u find anysolution i have kinda same problem on shostock3

Over the past week since I got the S3 I've been Turing off all the stuff that eats the battery power.... syncs etc.
I noticed that when I leave wifi on overnight that theres alot a wakelocks still showing up in the graph. BBS shows connectivityService and activitymanager as top two wakelocks of about 15 mins each.
I can't find out what is causing these wakelocks.
When I turn wifi off, the drain goes down to about 1.2% per hour according to battery monitor widget.
Can anyone once and for all help me get rid of all these wakelocks so that the phone is in deep sleep when it's meant to be? I even turn wifi off during sleep policy.
Thanks.

Just needed the first page of your wakelocks. Kernel wakelock can be found from the drop down menu when you hit partial wakelocks. Also use cpu spy to check whether your phone is properly going into deep sleep.
Normal procedure for me when trying to fix a wakelock:
1. Identify wakelocks with the highest up time
2. google the wakelock names because someone else has probably come across the same problem.
You can rule out rom issues because you're running stock with cf root kernel
Also I noticed AudioOut_1- a fix for that wakelock is usually turning off button sounds(not volume!) and in some cases the haptic feedback as well
If you don't mind me asking, what's that frog icon in your status bar?

I dont see anything that could affect your battery. I suggest doing a full wipe and starting fresh. Only restore apps and not their data. Only restore data for apps that are really important and get a startup manager like autostarts

I take it I can use titanium pro to back up and then restore all my apps after wipe? How do I go about restoring on the data from selective apps?
I've been using autostarts since last night and I find it excellent.
One question regarding it....how come when I've stuff like Google+ and Game hub frozen in titanium, it keeps showing up in autostarts(and set to start up at certain event changes...even though its frozen)??
thanks for help so far.
No problem. I don't know why the frozen apps show up in the other lists. I usually just limit the apps in the 'after startup' list and leave the rest alone. I normally use titanium to remove them completely.
As for individual data restoration, you can click individual apps in titanium and restore their data. Also check out your Samsung battery stats and see if cell standby is eating up your battery(it's a problem for me but yours might be more serious)

Well I don't think cell standby is a problem for me. I did a little experiment this morning.
Battery was 100% charged, so I unplugged it, turned off wifi and mobile data and let it rest for 3 hours.
Came back and saw that zero drain had occurred and that the battery was still at 99%(which it goes to straight away when you take off charge as you know).
I also had zero wakelocks as the phone was in a true deep sleep.
So I'm still in the position of trying to locate the cause of my wakelocks when either wifi or mobile data is on!
Could these wakelocks be from the wifi/mobile data just searching for a signal? I've tried to weed out any possible apps causing wakelocks when the internet is on but still cannot find the problem.
Well if you you've narrowed it down to your wifi/data problem, try flashing a different modem(possibly one of the newer ones)

Yep Chillz88 is right. You can flash the modem using odin on your pc or through mobile odin on your phone. Modem files can be found in stock rom thread. I'd post a link but am currently on the go. If you still can't find it I'll put it up when I get back home

Hi All,
Coming from a iPhone4, I noticed that even overnight when the phone is in standby the % drop in the battery is greater on the SGS3.
I am currently running the Omega V25 ROM and the battery drain when in standby is about 10-13% over 7hrs in standby whilst I am sleeping. I read a few days back on the Omega forum (cannot find it again) one of the users saying how great the battery life was for them...something like 1% drop over a few hours in standby....do you know if there is some trick to get such good performance?
I have used good programs like Juice Defender which brings it back to on par with the iPhone4, but does get a bit annoying sometimes waiting for the network connections to restart. Sometimes it even refuses to restart the network which is VERY annoying. I was wondering if there was something I am missing that can get great battery life (IN STANDBY) without 3 party programs like Juice Defender etc....
Thanks,
Ray

Go offline on Gtalk, Turn off Wifi/mobile data while not in use. Other thing I do is Download CPUspy on Google Play to verify the Cpu Usage.
With power saving mode enabled I loose only 1-2% of battery juice over night. (Mobile data disabled, gsm only mode).

First thing you do is turn off the WIFI or 3G(Mobile data) if you are not using it.

Hi!
I gotta advise you that juicedefender/other battery defending apps hurt more than it should actually help. Think of it this way, juicedefender is also an app. App=RAM consumption, High RAM consumption=High battery consumption.
Also, flashing a custom kernel can help out. There are tweaks which you can do with custom kernels.
E.G. *Undervolting [if you are a total noob on this, then you might read thoroughly how to do this]
You can have manual settings to low screen brightness, not go to vibrate mode, led notif off, etc. And more importantly, CLOSE APPS THAT RUN IN BACKGROUND Such as: Facebook
You can never really rely that let's say, Person1 is having awesome battery life with KernelX because it depends mainly on your SETTINGS and STANDARD USAGE
I hope this will help you out

That's the reason why. Yes you can try that. Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing siyah 1.6. If it does not help then the only option you can make is to full wipe and flash again the rom

Here are some tips:
1. Put wi-fi policy to never. It's in wi-fi settings.
2. Disable unnecessary sync (FB, google, email etc)
3. Install custom kernel, like others said.
4. Install better battery stats and find what's causing your phone awake (wake locks)

Whether Juice defender helps or not depends on your usage scenario and the app configuration (it literally has tons of options)

Better battery stats for the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping. And if you just flashed something give it a few battery cycles before you judge the battery

Hello,
The following happened to me:
I changed my rom to 4.1.2 jb from 4.1.1 and on the new rom I had crazy battery drain and the phone went hot so I thought about the media wakelock. Now I changed back to the old Rom (cwm image) but since I restored my image the battery also seems to drain faster. Bbs shows me 8m42s MediaScannerService wakelock. I've put the other information in the attachments. Can anyone tell me if these stats look normal? 5.8%/h seems like a big drain for me with or am I just freaking out? I'm almost sure that I had much better battery life before...
Can someone tell me how to get rid of the problem? Should I reinstall the rom? I'm using wanamlite 4.2.1 right now.
Cheers matt

Hey, I've been getting the same issue. I Reading up it seems we've got a choice of two options to fix -
1) Download something to stop the media scanning of SD card - the 'rescan media' app is one option I've seen but as this stops media scanning all together you need to re enable when adding new media so not a long term solution if you like your tunes
2) remove SD card, back up everything, reformat it, stick media back, add SD Card back into phone, and no more scanning issues. Pain in backside but should fix the issue.
Obviously someone will correct me if I've got it wrong...
I'm talking about the internal sd card. I guess I have to back up the stuff and format it too, right?

Ok, rescan media app was clear as mud to use and didn't appear to keep settings after reboot so spent a couple of hours backing up, reformatting & reloading SD card yesterday and it's made a massive improvement with media scanner service wakelocks dropping to seconds rather than closer to hours.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I figured why the media scanner was freaking out: it was the new titanium Backup format with blobs. In the blobs folder were about 3700 files and that was probably the issue.
I changed the backup format in cwm to tar but I also read that adding a ".nomedia" file to the titanium Backup or blobs folder might work in case you are doing and having many backups.
Now Bbs says 1 min media scan at boot and that's it
