Hello.
I am on Omega Rom now but I se that battery drains too fast. I lose 1 percent almost every 2 minutes without using the phone.
Is that normal? Can anyone tell me why is happening this or how to fix it?
Also someone know to tell me which is the best Rom with best battery life.
Thanks in advance

Few things you can do to solve this...
Disable Google account sync - only sync when you add a new Contact or want to read your Gmail,
Keep Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS disabled until you really need them,
Check to see if your kernel isn't overclocking your CPU - some kernels automatically 'clock' the chip from the moment the phone turns on,
Check your display settings re: kernel - some settings can run 'display enhancers' that make your graphics look great whilst chewing battery,
Disable Fast Dormancy for your modem - there's plenty of threads/posts about this,
Go into Settings->Apps and make sure there aren't a heap of apps running in background (Task Manager helps with this 'apps killing' too)
For battery life, I've heard NeatROMLite and SlimBean are good...
Hope that helps...
Hi, if you keep wifi, data network, blue tooth, gps ect, turn on, then the battery drains very quickly, either without using the mobile.
And if you keep mentioned above turned off and battery drains very quickly then it should be battery problem. Rom affects on battery when you changes the settings like cpu performance, and set min or max values ect. But usually rom not affacts.
You can use, juice defender and some other apps on play store to save battery life.
I'm using {rom} mysterious Pac i9100, and I'm quite happy with it.
Above is my personal experience, hope it will helps you.
Sorry for bad English.

Hi, install gemini app manager and disable autorun on almost all your application and obviously disable all automatic task you don't need on your phone.
Bye!

U can also try disabling Media Scanner by downloading "Disable Media Scanner" from playstore (requires root).
And pls avoid asking for 'best roms'.

After I update my SGS3 to jelly bean the battery life time got worst.
When I had the prev version one percent laster 1 hour+ when I didn't do anything with my phone. Now it hardly reaches 1 hour.
I use original rom, no custom roms.
what could be the reason for that?
It's probably the mediascanner. It's broken on all the jelly bean firmwares and custom roms I've tried.
Go to settings, battery and look if you see Media as a big battery consumer. Select it and force close it. As a temporary fix instal the Media Scan app from Google Play. It let's you disable the media scanner process.
I just downloaded the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5hZGR6Lm1lZGlhc2Nhbm5lcnJvb3QiXQ..
If thats the wrong app, please advise which app to try
Thanks in advance
Here's the link, it's actually called Rescan Media. My Bad.
And for rooted users, Rescan Media root.
Thanks for the reply,
Ive set it to disable when I quit the rescan media root app.
Will the media scanner enable itself, or is it permanently disabled?

I have the same problem with my battery, the battery life time is so short, i was looking up for a solution, but I think I don't have the media problem that most people have, but I think Google Now could be using GPSd that in my case, is using 11% of battery life. I tried to disable, and see what happend.
anyone?
The things that takes most of battery precentage in the battery section in settings is Screen.
Is this suppose to be like this?
try disabling googe now.
log out of google talk
uninstall maps or, go to setting location setting disable everything, from latitude to auto checkins
Disable google now
Check with better battery stats
Disable 3g and gps when you don't need it.
Places where mobile signal is low are not good.
I get 1% drop idling.
Average use gives me 2 days.
Max use of wifi gives me 9h.

Google Now wastes a lot of battery on JB. Try disabling location settings. As for wakelocks, download BetterBatteryStats, let in run after charging and check for "Partial Wakelocks". Shows what is keeping your device awake. As for wipe, he probably means factory reset. Shouldn't really need to do it if you're on stock with official ota.
Try the BBS to check what's wasting our battery
For me also Jelly bean is not good as ICS (battery wise am saying)..
In ICS i used to get 24-30 hours with average use............
But.. Recently Flashed JB XXDLJ4 version...........Nothing is doing with even Custom Kernals ...
Hardly getting 18 hours.... thats to vth Night. ...
Actually Jelly Bean is more sensitive and it uses GPU a lot... and it uses both CPU & GPU when u touch screen.... So that everting is like BUtter including Battery Life..:highfive:
i made my screen very dimm , its near dark really
but still said that screen drain 60 %
what should i do ??? GRRrRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
One of the biggest consumers of battery life on JB is Gallery! There is a bug that causes it to kill your battery if you leave it open. Make sure you manually close gallery if use it!
I found that the things that consumes the battery is wifi & 3G.
It didn't happen to me with v4.0.4, what could be the reason for that?
Anyone? Anything?
Hi guys,
Need some help here.. I am currently on omega v35 with doggly theme and using persus kernel v29.2. My battery is draining very fast. Even on idle for 30minutes, it drop 2%. Is it because of the theme or setting for the kernel?
I had tried flashing back to stock and siyah but the drainage is even worst. Can anyone help me with this? Are there some setting sample for the tweaks which I can follow on? My ram usage is always constant at 700mb, are there any way to reduce it? Basically, I am using my phone for movie and some gaming like slotomania..
Hope to hear from you guys soon with some advice for me.. thanks.

Note that the drain might not real drain but caused by the need for the battery to recalibrate itself after some time.
Usually a full and uninterrupted charge-decharge-charge cycles solves those issues.
Please attach a _full_ and root-enabled log of betterbatterystats (free Version here on XDA) over at least 2-3 hours.
Also include a screenshot of the Android-integrated battery stats in fullscreen mode (without the app listing below)
That should be sufficient data to find the culprit

Dalvik always caches apps you opened in the past in the background and keeps them in a semi-frozen state (no CPU access but still in memory).
The reason is simple: it does not cost any power (RAM always costs the same, regardless of content) and it allows you to multitask between multiple apps.
Should an active app need more RAM it will automatically remove those old apps from cache.
In anutshell; simply don't care. Except if you have some apps that lock themselves in RAM and cause lags but that's not an issue of Android but rather the app itself.
hi
Just wanna ask.. is perseus 29.2 compatible with Omega v35? TiA
Thanks for the advice. So far, the kernel is not giving me any other problem except for the battery issue.

I have a pretty bad battery drainage problem. Multidp and 12_hsic wakelocks are prevalent. The most noticeable is the Phone app waking up the most.
Steps I've taken to combat the High battery drainage
Disabled Fast Dormancy
Greenified Facebook, Playstore, PlayBooks and Keep
All but contacts and chrome are checked under the autosync settings
Even tried apps like Juice Defender, but the battery drainage increased to a whole new level; deleted the app
Installed a custom kernel. Undervolted by -50mv
ROM: CrDroid
Kernel: Temasek Kernel
P.S Tried the BetterBatteryStats thread, but no one did help me there. :/ Hope I solve my problem here. Attached the idle dump.
Thanks in advance.

The Problem is The ROM , not the Phone.
Android 4.3 isn't optimized for S3 yet .
That causes Battery Drain Problems.
My Recommendation is that you search another 4.3 ROM or Downgrade to 4.2.2 or lower.
Previous post is wrong.
Your two first kernel wakelocks mean network use. Search for background sync apps, check Wi-Fi advanced settings and disable Google constant search.
Greenify all apps, except the vital ones for your usage. With paid app and xposed framework you can even freeze push message ones.
All this can be found in a couple of minutes with Google.
Some can achieve .2 %/hour in deep sleep with 4.3.
The Rom is not the culprit.
You wont get good battery life on IDLE on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs. No matter what you do. battery life is ok while the phone is awake but when it is in deepsleep still it consumes the battery on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs.

Yes i know AOSP,AOPK & CM don't have as good an idle drain as the touchwiz ROMs, but in my case we do know the reason. So it has to some other reason

Already had Google constant search disabled. And 4.3 is not xposed framework compatible. So can't use that.
And I have disabled background syncing except for chrome and contacts. It's the phone app waking up that's probably the culprit

I use xposed framework... It's compatible.
2.1.4 apk framework works well. Some people need to use SuperSu instead of super user, you can put it with a file explorer in system/app, then reboot and run, there is even a cwm zip somewhere to flash the framework directly.

Yes I know it's just 1.1% but you gotta see that this is just an idle drain. When I start using the phone on day to day basis, it doesn't even last the whole evening let alone the whole day. I'm down to 20% by mid afternoon when i unplug my phone at 8 A.M. .
Whereas when I was on stock, as the people above have said, my battery drain was around .4% and the phone used to last around a day and a half with moderate usage. Yes I know that I can never have that good a battery, but atleast I should be able to eliminate most of the wakelocks with this ROM. But the typical methods like disabling FD, greenifying apps etc etc don't seem to work.

Hello!
I know its a common problem for everyone. But I think my problem is quite a bit more. It drains fast even if I don't use my phone. One thing is my 3G is on 24/7. But I saw people with some other roms who open the data traffic for 24/7, bt still get 1.5 days service from battery.
My Xperia Go really drains so fast.I uploaded some screenshots. The first two photos, i uploaded the app use right after charging my mobile & in the next pair of photos are next mornings'. In between i just make a call for 10 min. Nothing else. Now say what should I do?
btw, i found just non-system apps like facebook,messenger & whatsapp which might drain some extra battery. Otherwise I have no other major apps non-system apps. I JUST WANT TO RUN MY XPERIA GO FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY WITH A FULL CHARGE
My Phone: Xperia Go rooted with doomlord kit version 14
Build number: 6.2.A.1.100
Kernel version: 3.0.8+ (I think its the stock kernel)
My pc operating system: Windows 8
Is there any better rom for me with pretty much less bugs?
Note: Give me an option without unlocking the bootloader plz

I tried BeAnZ/Google™ BeAnZ Lite 2014/01/01 and my battery life has improved considerably. But again I never had this bad battery. Maybe its a hardware issue ?
Battery drains super fast
Hi Guys even i have flashed with Doomlord for SU access and I am also seeing the same issue..
Hi Pias94....!!
Do u still have the problem or did u find a solution for the battery drain
Did u try the new ROM that was suggested. Please Help ASAP

I did follow some steps:
Step 1:
1. First You go Settings--->APPS--->All Tab---->ECO Mode Controller/ Extended battery mode (Click Clear Data and Force Stop)
2. Then Again you Go Settings--->APPS--->All Tab---Setting.apk (Click Clear Data and Force Stop)
3. Charge Your Mobile 4 to 5Hours
4. After 4-5 Hours While Charging That Time You Click Vol Up+Power Button( after 3 times Vibrate)
5. Remove Your Charger and Again Plugin Your Mobile The Sony Logo With Comes And Charging Logo has been Shown
6. Then Power On Your Mobile While Charging
7. Then Go Setting--->Power Management TURN ON BATTERY STAMINA MODE.
8. Then see the battery state.
Step 2:
As ur phone is rooted like me, install Greenify app & add those app works in background even if u don't use the phone. May be Greenify will stop them.
Step 3:
In power mangement, press the stamina mode & exactly add apps like which u did in grennify. In my case Facebook, Facebook Messneger & Whatsapp were the most dangerous app. So i added those.
Step 4:
Use app2sd card software & transfer app from phone memory to sd card. It mau help a liitle.
after these steps i get some little improvement
Note: There's always some bug in other roms. That's why i didn't install any
hey thanks for replying ...
I was using ALL THE PROCEDURES THAT U ALREADY MENTIONED...
BUT I THINK ITS A BATTERY ISSUE...I HAVE BEEN USING IT SINCE ONE AND HALF YEAR OR SO..
EVEN SOME BATTERY APPS SHOW THAT IT CAN SAVE ONLY BATTERY WHICH LONGS FOR 1HR OR SO WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE FOR A 5 HR TALK TIME
U CAN USE " No Bloat Free" to disable system apps if u dont want to use...:cyclops:
I am gonna replace the battery i guess..
Sony ericsson is not providing a battery replacement , they are asking for warranty and all which is expired in my case..
Anyways Thank YOu..
Well try factory format its work for me
also always charge your fon atleast more than 55%

I'm having trouble with the same phone but different rom. I'm running CM11 on my GO and battery lasts about 7-8 hours. This is with some maps usage, 10 minute calls, 10 viber messages and some surfing using Firefox. I've greenified everything including Viber & Whatsapp. I also got Juicedefender turning 3g off when screen is off and turning it on briefly every 15 minutes. Clean master is also running in the background because I have to keep clearing ram.
Edit: oh, and I got No frills cpu control set to 200/800mhz Interactive/Noop
Going back to stock rom might help but then Viber "effs" things up and dialer starts lagging.
Any other tips? This piece of crap phone has been nothing but trouble since the beginning.

It's the screen that drains most of it, how long has it been on?
And it is weird because it doesn't show to be awake when screen is on which usually is the other way (awake with screen off).
Check CM thread to see if it's a known/fixed bug.
I updated to the latest CM11 and things are a bit better now... I'm getting about one days use. Which still isn't much considering most of the apps are greenified. Anyway.....
edit: and I've tried to keep the screen brightness at constant ~25-30%.
Hey,
When I had JB i intalled a modded build.prop from a user here, and I got extremely good results. Now I changed to CM11 with my Xperia Sola and I noticed how my battery wasn't as good as before... Is there any solution to improve my battery with Xposed modules, apps, or anything else? I know that you shouldn't be running apps in the background etc.

It's really hard to just make a blanket statement like, "Yea, this mod/tweak/app/etc will definitely help you get battery life." If it were, then so many people wouldn't be on here looking for solutions. No 2 phones are gonna get the same kind of battery life for a ton of different reasons. Sometimes it's the kernel, sometimes it's apps that sync too much, sometimes location services get out of hand, sometimes the radio version doesn't mix well with the update you are on or the area you are in, maybe some 3rd party apps don't play nice with others, and so on and so forth. Best thing to do is run some apps that might help pinpoint what is keeping the phone awake (wakelocks). Better Battery Stats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 , Wakelock Detector http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179651 , GSAM Battery Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en or something along those lines. Once you figure out what is causing it, then you can start to look for solutions. Good luck!
