I know this might sound odd to some of you, but i was doing some heavy use on my phone, and i noticed somethings that happen most of the time but not always, and here they are:
_when playing music via LG's music player, the music stops (sometimes) when hitting power button in order to lock the screen.
_Tapping on youtube and playstore links on the stock browser (modified by LG) takes you always to the mobile site for youtube and not to the youtube app. the same thing with playstore links, it doesn't ask yo if you want to open it in playstore app, but it takes you to the website. i know all about the default actions but believe me, i know what i'm saying. because this doesn't happen using Chrome.
I noticed, that when i'm using google now's voice actions, it doesn't give voice feedback. (even when i set it to us english)

Did not noticed both. Both work perfect. See if there are any default program settings and correct it.
The only problem I noticed is , it takes media scan after each file operation I do. Sometimes it does after boot.

Agreed if you say "bad" but disagree if you say "completely bad". Actually companies dont release roms if they are bad.
Try to do some investigation and find the reason for drain when wifi is on.
I must have 4 Gmail accounts setup with Auto sync. Every 10/20 minutes I get notification sound saying "I've got mail" on "WiFi" which is "ON" all the time in office and home (total 8+ hours)). But I did not notice the drastic drop in battery level. I still get 24 hours in around 60-70% juice.
Like zanakorus33 said you must check which "unknown" and "unwanted" apps are squeezing too much juice from battery while WiFi is on and disable them.
In fact "WIFI" does not drain your battery. Its various app, which get activated when WiFi gets on and try to connect internet for syncing.
PS: Just flashed P765 CIS JB rom and experimenting, else I would post some screenshot too, which I always do.
R: BUGS in Jelly Bean (P760-V20B)
You can think what you want, it's not my problem. Please dont say things about app, drain app, app that draining etc. etc.. i know this stuff very well.
I say this:
with SAME APPS, SAME APPS, FEW APPS with ICS i can do 1 day and half, with JB not.
JB drain battery more than ics, in particualr when wifi is on.

At night, I prefer to automatically shut off all radio (wifi, datasync, bt, gps, etc and silent mode), with smart profiles free, except Phone network. Calls and incoming sms still working. Before I wake up in morning all gets started automatically.
I think I dont need wifi, datasync, etc, while I need to sleep. And also have habit to manually start and stop wifi when I need it or not. Maybe this saves some battery for me. In office, wifi mostly on. Everyone have their own ways and preferences, hence different results.
Picture quality has reduced after upgrading to Jelly Bean. I've checked all the camera settings but still pictures a little washed out. Pictures looked better on ICS rom.
Is it me or anyone else also have this problem?

As others have said battery life is slightly worse on JB. For me with 3G and syncing on I could make three before going down to 5% battery (about 33% percent per day), now I have 50% per day. Of course it's highly dependent on usage, talk time, etc.
I have anoying thing on JB P760 V20C.
When I switch off airplane mode and Wi-Fi tries to connect to my home network, some window popups for a fraction of second, like my home net is not available and JB asking me to choose other net (of course the window disappears so fast that I can't really tell if it is really what I suspect).
The same scenario worked flawless on ICS (no popup window).

I've been try to extend the life of my battery, and one of the things I have done is set the SETTINGS/WIFI/ADVANCED "keep WIFI on during sleep" to "never".
I make this change, but most times when I go back into the settings later on, it's changed back to "Always"
Anybody offer a clue as to why this might be happening?
Thanks.

no idea mate it shouldn't do as i have mine set to never and it stays like that, have you been flashing ROM's or anything like that maybe that could explain it!
No, not really.
The only thing I've done is rooted it. Apart from that, It's still got stock Samsung Rom on it.
Just checked again, and even tried setting it to "only when plugged in, but after 15 mins or so, it's back to "always" again.

For anyone else who might come across the same issue.
After doing a factory reset, and putting apps back on one at a time, I found out it was DoubleTwist Airsync, that was changing the "WIFI sleep" option.
Apparently, the developer knows this, but wants it to work that way.
So it's now gone for me
But you won't lose too much battery on an 7 hr sleep with the always on setting.
I go to sleep with my S3 on 98% and wake up with 92-94% battery left even with received messages from 3 email accounts and other notifications.

I keep mine on always. I lose 3% during an 8hr sleep and it'll automatically connect to my carrier data when my network is not in range. Sure beats turning it off and on a handful times a day.
Weird is that WiFi is active in either option you shoose during sleep. Even if you choose NEVER, open your battery use stats and you'll see that WiFi was active all the time during sleep. I cannot understand why is this issue so underrated here on XDA forums. Or is it some kind of misinterpreting from my side???

Yup afaik, choosing never will produce a wakelock to check the phone state and keeping it on will cause it to constantly scan even if connected to a network. Both choices will eat up battery.
I see many threads suggesting to just manually turn it off, preventing scanning, wakelocks and syncing all together.

Hello everyone,
I have big problems with battery drain! When I look into battery in settings I see Android OS causing huge battery drain. I am on stock Ics, tried many things - rooting, changing kernel, uninstalling bloatware with Titanium, changing baseband ... Nothing seems to help! I've realized that Android OS is active while WiFi on... When I switch off WiFi, battery life gets very good (or normal) and Android OS stop draining the battery.
Does somebody have same issue or knows THE solution? Except putting CM9 or other non stock Rom, would like ti keep Sony's Rom.

WiFi on always eats far more battery than WiFi off.
If you've turned off all synchronizations already then it's just purely the constant search for the WiFi network and back and forth polling needed to maintain the connection being handled by the Android OS that's eating your battery and I'm afraid that would be perfectly normal then and not something one can fix.

Of course, but as you can see in the post above, what is strange is that when I was out of home (the first 3 hours) with wifi on the battery was doing fine even that the phone was probably searching networks all the time, and since I returned home (last 3-4h) the battery drain started again...
Shouldn't it be opposite? When connected to home wifi it should stop searching for it. So it's probably a sync problem, but whatever I don (Sync on or off) it's the same...

Well judging by this it might actually be normal for android os to consume as much battery, because you haven't really used your phone much. The battery drain you are seeing on the battery settings is simply android os is draining the most out of your phone relative to other processes using much less.

Hello all,
I am more than happy with my SIII but I'm finding a wakelock rather disturbing. It happens as soon as i turn on the "Use wireless networks" under the Location services settings.
If it's turned off, the wakelock disappears. But you know, it's hard to live with it turned off, as it greatly helps the GPS set a location way faster than it would do on its own... So using location based apps while it's off is a pain in the ass.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Nothing can be done about it really. Applications poll location data constantly when this option is ticked. It even tells you data is collected in the background regardless of what you are doing. To be honest many can cope with the 5-10 second wait for a GPS fix. Either deal with the drain or disable it.
5-10 seconds?? Most of the time I get message saying current location is temporarily unavailable, especially when I'm indoors.
I can't believe I have to deal with this problem. Am I the only one with this problem?? I was expecting a better answer.
just deactivate it. if you use a gps-app it will tell you to activate GPS anyways and while doing that you can then activate the network location as well.
with lbe privacy guard you can Block it if you are rooted

So basically there's no proper fix for this. All I can do is work around the issue? Coming from an iphone I feel this is a bit frustrating.
Thing is that the option I have to disable does not use GPS. It uses mobile signal and WiFi radios, so turning off GPS is useless.
Can anybody else help?

Well, in theory, your solution sounds awesome. But as i stated earlier, there's a small problem: battery drain is not caused by the GPS itself, but by the other "tricks" the phone has in order to find a location (wifi and radio).
I don't know about that problem with the 4S, but as you said, it occurred when it came out. The SIII has been out for 6 months now, and there's been several updates, yet the issue is still there.
BTW, i check the partial wakelocks with Better Battery Stats (you can find it for free here on the forums)
Just a general question... Does anyone else have this issue? If any of you guys do, then i'll learn to live with it, but being the only one would really make me feel silly.
Well, I just don't use that option, AFAIK the new cm10 build changed the GPS so that it no longer favor the North America but search for the nearest satellite instead. I notice this change already make my gps quick enough so I don't bother..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I have the same problem. The only solution I found was to disable networks location. Is there any app to identify clearly what is the app that it's requesting location from Google services? It is not maps because with 3g watchdog installed it reports separated (maps and Google services) the leak is on Google services.
Ps: I have found that this problem only exists when connected to a WiFi network. On 3g the requests are less intensive.

Well I've just been doing some investigating with Better Battery Stats to find out why my battery was so bad with JB compared to ICS, then googled the NetworkLocationLocator as that seems to be the problem which brought me here (I'm a member anyway).
I must say it's pretty disappointing that this problem is occurring because surely the same option was being used in ICS and it never drained my battery back then. The only thing I can think of is Google Now has something to do with this. I have Google Now disabled anyway as (although it's a brilliant feature) it doesn't really benefit me as I don't travel around much, but I get the feeling that is the root of this problem because that's the biggest change in coming from ICS to JB (other than cosmetics and UI) right?
This is not even a problem.
People tick all kind of options or fail to go to see their apps properly starting from Facebook, Google+ , Google now, weather apps... And then complain how come they get excessive polling.
Problem lies in those same people wanting those services to record their location , but don't want any battery drain... At least case with all those around me that asked.
Trust me without WiFi and network triangulation the same services when allowed waste way more power using real GPS.

Thanks for the sweeping generalisation but I had the exact same option ticked in ICS and it was never a problem. Fact is in JB it causes a problem for some reason. It may be Google Now, who knows, but one things for sure, I should be able to have that option ticked and not have it keep my phone awake all night.

Maybe I misunderstood. Sorry.
I use Google now and maps for network location as well as fancy widget polling every 2 hours. All other apps I individually where permitted set to off.
This setup does not keep my phone all night. I see where it wakes the phone in intervals and does its thing and goes back to sleep. Combined with my exchange email polling every hour overnight, I don't see any excessive battery usage compared to what I had with ICS.

Turn of location history, leave the rest on. Wakelock is still there but less.
Just bought the mrs a Galaxy S3, she uses Wifi when at home. All the wifi settings are correct including the advanced ones (from the dialer menu)
melethron said:
Hey,
There was a change in API 12 (Honeycomb and later) with the way "wifi lock" is handled. Even if the sleep policy in settings->wifi->advanced->"Keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "always", wifi will still be in a "low performance mode". This results in throttled speed (f.e: stuttering streaming), high latency (ping your phone) and can even cause disconnects, when the screen is off.
Still this is not bug but a feature of Android and should be addressed by any app that needs full wifi performance. Any app that needs full wifi performance (like streaming or file shearing over wifi) should call for "WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF". This can be found in the official "android developer reference". Before API 12 (honeycomb) an app just needed to call WIFI_MODE_FULL for "wifi lock". If an app isn't coded proberly for honeycomb and ICS and has issue with Wifi performance appart from calling "wifi wake lock", you should report that to the developer of that app.
I still found a simple workaround for scenarious in which this function is not properly called. There is an rather simple widget on google play called "WIFI High Performance Widget". If the widget is enabled, the function WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF is called and the wifi performance is on full speed even when the screen is off. Im not in any way involved in the developement of this app and there might be other apps out there, that could achieve the same (for example: Android Terminal emulator also calls WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF if "wifi lock" is enabled.) Still this widget is the simplest solution i found thus far. Just enable the widget and get full wifi performance when screen is off.

Is there any other way round this apart from the above ? Its really annoying that this hasnt been fixed, my HTC sensation is EXACTLY the same.
We both use whatsapp, and its annoying because if we are on wifi messages don't come through until you turn the screen back on, on 3G whatsapp works perfectly when the screen is turned off its just the wifi.
Above fix doesn't work.
thats odd , when my screen is locked i receive whats app messages and if i am downloading something over wifi it keeps on downloading, currently on cm10 but when i was on the stock rom , even if screen was locked wifi didnt sleep

Have you tried altering security settings on your router?
which rom are you using ?
Figured it out.
3 Android devices were all having the same issue, I have spent over 15 hours researching and I have finally fixed it.
It was my router, not security settings just a common issue, I have an asus RT-N56U, I have flashed a custom firmware to it and my wifi on android devices is perfect, instant updates from facebook, gmail, whatsapp. A lot of time and testing but i'm glad I finally fixed the issue !

Hi.. one of my phones..Sensation 4G is experiencing the same issues with wifi as you.. what did you do at the router.. I also have a custom firmware (Tomato).. what setting did you change in it?..thanks.
Hi everyone ! I'm on Omega v35 (Samsung) Rom and 3.0.36-Perseus-alpha29 Kernel. And I have these connected accounts: Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange and WhatsApp.
When WiFi is on I loose about 2.2% per hour. (Google Now is disabled, GPS off, Data off, CPU almost all time in Deep Sleep)
When I turned off WiFi I've been loosing 0.8% per hour (other settings remained same).
So my question is, is this normal battery drain ?
In BBS I've noticed that my most active Wakelock is: AlarmManager (Android System) and Kernel WakeLock: Battery-monitor
I've also attached BBS Dump file.
Thanks for your answers
2.2% is not that bad yet. Wifi uses lots of power, especially on some routers that (it seems) do not allow throttling of transmission speed during sleep or that are far away.
Especially considering that you have 2 out of the "bad 3" installed (which are: Facebook, Skype, Whatsapp) when it comes to battery drain it's not very surprising that the AlarmManager (responsible for waking up your phone when there's stuff to do) has a high count.
Battery-monitor is the stats itself. As long as it runs it obviously needs to periodically collect data.
I guess it won't be possible to root the phone and give another BBS stats? Those are far better and if using Siyah more detailed.
Also, please include a screenshot of Android's own battery graph (in full-screen,not the one with the apps beneath) since that shows the wakelock distribution
Thanks for your answer, the phone is rooted, but I forgot to enable rooted options in BBS. So I'll leave it for the night and then post BBS stats and screenshot.
Maybe this question is little off topic but you've mentioned Siyah, I've flashed Siyah but when I entered Recovery there still was CWM recovery (which was odd because I had Galaxy S2 and after flashing Siyah I had Siyah recovery) so I've wiped everything flashed again but nothing changed, I've checked in System info under kernel and it showed that Siyah was installed and I could run STweaks normally.
Is this normal ?

Maybe try other modems?
I'm running Omega v35 and Perseus 27a and I've noticed worse signal/higher drain compared to v34. I flashed BUELK1 modem (AFAIK it's the one from XXELKC, Omega v34) and I'm loosing about 0,5% per hour again (wifi, data etc).
Although I'm not using any auto sync, my GPU/CPU is UV'd and I have some apps frozen in Titanium
perseus 29.2

Does anyone have tried perseus 29.2 with omega v35. I wonder how battery performs with them.
So I've left it overnight again (same settings as in OP).

First thing I noticed that your wifi is on all the time.
Let it turn off once your screen is off.
Settings > Wifi > Advanced and select wifi on while sleep, never.
If I do that will WiFi be reconected from time to time to receive notifications from gmail, whatsapp etc. ?

Use DS Battery. It turns off wifi when screen is off but will let it connect every designated period to let your phone sync. I get about 20% drain overnight over 8hours. I UVed all my clocks so I'd say yours is pretty good.

No, it turn off your wifi if your screen is off for some time. I am not quite sure, what's the default value is.
After wifi is off, device use mobile data to receive notifications. Also, you should disable auto sync because that's also major battery drainer.
I get 5-6% battery overnnight.
