What Kernel,Rom u using?
what r u ur OC settings?
and btw hav u tried different kernels and RoMs?
Important-
Be really carefull when overclocking(as mentioned in many places)
cause ur battery will have more strain.
and because of that u will lose a lot of Ions/cells(science thing )
and that will decrease ur battery life very badly.
My EXPERIENCE
Please Click 'Thanks' If I helped

do this things
install wakelock detector to see which app is causing wakelocks and draining battery
change the governor to smartassh3 if your kernel supports it
in your post it's your kernel version not the name of the kernel

ur clock speeds are fine,
i suggest u try ROMs like Ultimate HD,Revolution ICS ,etc
if uve unlocked bootloader . u can try even more Roms and kernels.
and again, if uve unlocked - try suave kernel , fusion kernel,etc
and ya u should try wakelock
or
just simply see battery usage in settings(if u dint see)
and keep an eye on the governor u select
Please Click 'Thanks' if i helped

You should try following:
1. Changing CPU governor (e.g. switch to ondemand from performance, or to powersave, sometimes those default governors can be buggy, so try alternative like smartass)
2. Remove widgets from homescreen that you don't use, especially weather widget.
3. Turn off sync when you don't need it.
4. Change your brightness. If it is on max set it to half or automatic, you can turn it completely off, but then screen is unusable on daylight (my experience)
5. Turn off wifi or data when you don't use it.
You can also do some tweaking in easier way using Pimp My ROM from Play Store. If that still doesn't help, try different kernel.

then only two things left
your battery needs calibration
or
your battery's life is over

Stuck at Sony logo or ROM logo..

always read op before flashing anything

There is no such thing as 'battery calibration'!!! it's a myth, placebo, or whatever You call it, and You, avinash, should know it

i know it but i don't know why some people report that it works
i know battery stats are reset at full charge
but i think manually resetting may help if automatic resetting is not working for some reason
and in the end what's the harm in trying
