I flashed my SIII with Omega ROM v49 yesterday and noticing high battery drainage.
E..g. It came from 100 % to 85 % in 2h 22m in which i was in a phone call for 25 min and nothing else.
I have my data connection off, power saver on, wifi off most of the time, smart stay off, gps off. Screen was off maximum time.
Yesterday the battery drained in less than 12 hrs.
I use Battery Calibrator to calibrate my battery today too.
Is this a bug with v49? Because I used to have Samsung stock ROM which has a consistent battery for 36 hrs which include 3.5 hrs call time.
Need help here. Is it the problem with the ROM or something might be wrong in the device settings.

Hi,
X10 Mini Pro here - the battery only lasts about 16 hours without ANY activity on the phone (only 2G radio on, no calls, no using the display, nothing!). If I check partial wake usage I see Messaging is keeping the phone up the whole time (15 hours out of 16 hours). How do I solve this?
With normal use (calls/browsing/apps etc) it lasts less than 8 hours!
did u find solution pls tell me also same problem
for messaging go to cyanogenmod settings-preformance settings and disable lock messaging app in memory.
then set wifi to never sleep.
my battery life is arond 36 hour (ni data conection only if i recive mms, wifi around 1 hour per day, around 10 calls per day, around 30 sms per day, brightness around 65%,and auto kill apps)
I'm running stock latest 2.1. Messaging today is 8 hours lock wake out of 9 hours. Battery at 50% with NO use!
Did a backup, reinstalled everything through SEUS, then restored. Now back to normal. Just back from 8 hours of work and battery is only down 20%.
my phone gives a backup of more than 2 days......here is how...
for both stock and custom rom.....nd if u have root access....then u shud use SetCpu and Auto killer memory optimiser...set both of them to ondemand and optimum resp. and charge ur phone only when its <10% and avoid disconnecting it until its completely charged....this would improve ur battery backup and lso battery life.....significantly..see if dat works for u guys...
If you have flashed a rom, then you must fully charge the battery, immediately Wipe Battery Stats, then let it full drain and battery would be almost fixed. After full drain, fully charge it. When it says completed pull out battery and put it back and charge. You'll notice that battery level is ~84% even if you fully charge before. After full charge, pull battery out and do the same as mentioned before until you charge phone and battery level is always 100% or 99%.
That would make battery last longer.
And... If you have CM, undervolting saves very muuuuuuuuuuch battery and you should underclock when you are planning not to use phone for some hours... Of course freeing memory is essential, because you kill the apps which use your phone, as a result your battery too!
Good luck! ;-)

Nice im going to try some of the suggestions above
my battery also drains pretty fast!
Hi guys,
I'm using GingerMod v0.3 with the default kernel (ninphetamine 2.1.3).
My battery was at 100% when i went to sleep. After about 8 hours when i woke up, it dropped to 92%. Is that normal?
I have turned off automatic sync as well as gps. Even "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" was off. Display was at a minimum 3%. Most of the battery % was used up by Android OS.
given the percentage of the draining 8% over 8 hours i quess is pretty good. I quess different rom + kernel produce different effects. Yours is considered ok.
ya the drain is quite normal

1% an hour during sleep mode is considered good? i had the impression that it would only drop 3-4% during sleep.

More than good I'd say. And you never can have a constant rate, one night it will be 3-4%, other night it will be 9-10%, depends on the processes running at that period. If you have Better Battery Stats installed then you will be able to see what had cost that extra drainage under Partial Wakelocks section.
I normally have 3-4% drain in an overnight period of 8-9 hours, but yesterday it was 15%. Then I saw it was Camera360 Ultimate which was running and searching for GPS!
Regards.
That's about similar to what i get on standby with data enabled so yeah good battery there/
Thats good ? Mine drops 1 percent overnight (+-10 hours) with original battery Or stays at 100 until morning when I wake up with 2000mah bat... Data and wifi turned off.
But I presume thats just me being battery friendly user
I tried better battery stats and it seems the Email app is consuming the most resources during sleep. hmm...
So i recently flashed the latest 2.3.6 to my phone and have juice defender and around 33 percent screen brightness. It seems my phone drains 1 percent on standby which is fine but when the screen is on it drains 10 percent in 20 minutes. I have auto sync off and low auto brightness. So my question is should i just flash a custom kernel, or revert to a older firmware. Thanks any ideas appreciated.
hello everyone!, i have a serious battery problems:
1. battery charging takes min 8 hrs!!
2. battery Discharges very very fast
i changed battery and charger and it still the same...
BUT notice that when the phone is off - charging takes 1-2 hrs
i dont know what its the problem, can someone help? thanks.
Have the same flash boeffla kernel and increase the charging of your charger and your battery will load very fast
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V36 )
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
1-2 hours is normal for a charge, actually its very decent. Run full charges only. Charge ONLY when battery is less than 20% and charge continuously till 100%. Check you battery usage. If you have bluetooth, wifi, 3g and whatnot on all the time your battery life will be bad and will take longer to charge.
Search the web there are many more specific solutions.
Specify if you are on stock rom and kernel.
Edit: I would NOT increase charging current. It will decrease your battery life in long run.

Tell what firmware you are using and install better battery stats and leave it 4-5 hours on standby..see what is draining your battery post screen shots in BBS threads.. And someone would definitely help you...

hi guys,
i have s3 4.3 stock rom and kernel,
i saw in battery usage that the screen is 90% .....does it normally?!??!?
it seems like the screen is draining my battery, what can i do??
Lower screen brightness If you are gaming then there is hardly any solution for that. As the post before says, install better battery stats so we can help you further. Also sometimes other things draining battery may come under one name such as 'screen'. Its not new.
I did a complete charge last night before I hit the sack. Battery was around 96%, today morning 80%!
I flashed stock ROM using TWRP, on first charge cycle battery is fine - just 1% overnight drain with 8 hrs SOT. On second charge cycle this issue hits me everytime.
All my radios are usually off (WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Data).
Android system sucks my battery during sleep and it was at 90% consumption when I woke up (See screen shot #1).
My phone seems to be in deep sleep a good portion of that time (See WLD statistics #1).
Also attached screen shots from WLD for Summary, Kernal / Partial wakelocks & Alarms.
Device is rooted.
Going crazy trying to find out what's happening.
I have tried 3 different ROM's which have great battery life as reported by other users here for my mobile (Mate 8). But I always end up with the same battery drain issue on second charge cycle after flashing a ROM.
.
Bump! Anyone?
Any experts that could help out here?
I have searched a lot but no solid solution.
