Hi guys. HTC One user here, however my sister has an S3 but the battery drains on it REALLY quickly. Like it dropped 8% in the 5-10 mins I was messing about with it.
It was running on out-the-box rom and kernel, so I flashed through Odin, full wiped and installed Omega ROM hoping it was just a ROM issue... however it still seems to be draining really ****ing fast.
Does anyone have any other suggestions before I go ahead and order a new battery (just in case it's not that?!)
Cheers guys

(1) Post questions in Q&A section
(2) Are you rooted? If so try BetterBatteryStats (BBS) to isolate the aspect of the phone draining the battery. After a few days running BBS post screenshots if you need help.
Wakelock detector same thing as battery stats only it's free.
Also if you have root you can use greenify, startup manager (free), change kernel or rom (or both if rom supports other kernels).

Hi guys just a quick question. What kernal gets the most out of CheckRom rom?
Stock one that came with it seems fine but battery life is not the best.
Let me know

You've already posted in the relevant thread and even received a response, so why make a new thread?
If you want the best battery life, delete all apps from the phone, turn off sync and leave the phone alone.

Could be your battery, maybe is damaged.
Check it, if it is a little big and isnt flat is maybe damage and you need one new.
Try doing a fully charge, but i think is the battery. It happened to me.
Nope the battery is fine.... Its flat and nothing is damaged

try flashing a diff kernel (may be Dorimanx v7.22) and then see for the issue
Hi, sorry for breaking in into other people's thread, but I've been getting terrible battery life and random crashes. I tried severeal different rom/kernel/baseband/android versions combinations and always had the phone dying on me. The weird part was that it only happened when the phone was not plugged in. When it was charging, this problem would not happen at all.
Well, after your post about the battery damage I checked mine and it indeed seems a little bigger than normal. Do you think its possible that a damaged battery could cause it?

Amazed the more experienced members who have replied to this thread thus far have missed the obvious & not suggested the OP install BetterBatteryStats. Something weird is causing that drain, I'm not understanding why you'd suggest someone go out & buy a new battery in the first instance when there's nothing outwardly physically wrong with the battery.
OP - Install BetterBatteryStats, have a look at the thread on here to get an idea of what kind of info/screenshots you need to post to that thread for someone there to help you out. Then do exactly that.

Thanks a lot Sir... Appreciate it... I was actually going to the store rite now to buy a new battery...
Now may be after a few days if I don't find a solution or if my battery is really damaged (can't understand why cause my battery is only 8 months old)
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
YW I'm not saying you'll definitely be able to track down what's causing the drain with BBS, but it's certainly worth a try before you fork out $ for a new battery (especially given your phone is still usable in the meantime). If you end up not being able to find anything with BBS, then you go buy a new battery.
I repalced my battery after one yeat
But I can say tham I am heavy user
The reson I replaced it it was give me a mad reading some times up some times down with no app causing battery drian
Tell my phone begin to shut down when using any app want cpu higher frequencies
So I get new one cause when keep it on charge and use it nothing occur
I suggest you to get a new battery
And charge it well before use
Then let him drop about 15
Then make full charge
And dont let him get down 40

Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you managed to know what was the problem? If so, how did you solve it?
I'm experiencing something similar, but after reading a lot of threads it seems that no one knows what is the problem.
For me it started after deleting the battery stats (I know it doesn't make sense) and reflashing a ROM ( I was using the ROM before without a problem). Oh well, let me know how it went for you.
Cheers.
I got my phone Samsung Galaxy s2 GT i9100 updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 through Kies when it popped me for it. But now my battery is draining like hell. I glanced on my battery stats and its just my screen that is eating up the larger chunk. When my phone is kept idle its battery drain is just 1% in an hour (I kept it idle overnight to monitor it). But the moment am on my phone like am doing right now (posting or browsing or on facebook) I can literally see my battery draining 1% every one or two minutes.
I am using just the same settings for display which I had been using for a couple of years on my gingerbread 2.3.5 but never faced such a juice drain there.
I am not rooted and thus not done the battery callibration stuff as I really dont see how deleting batterystats.bin would prevent my screen from eating up my battery. Yet am doing the other type of calibration (physical) just to satisfy myself.
The tragedy above all is that I had bought my phone from UAE but now shifted & residing in India. So samsung has totally disowned me here in India. I really need help guys. Please help me out.
Note: started posting this with 65% battery but now left with just 55% of it. Just imagine my condition with this drain.
Clear Dalvik cache, clear everything (format memory) and start from startup wizard.. it will help.. For doing that do complete backup.. to restart everything go to recovery menu..

It can be seen that your modem is really not working good with your network i would like to recommend that you flash LP8 modem which will be way to much better for good reception and better battery life

Thank you for the reply. But can you guide me with that "clear Dalvik cache" you mentioned.
How much screentime do you get on a full cycle? Don't know what your brightness settings are, but if the screen is very bright, then it's normal it eats battery.
Also JB seems -at least for me, other people think the opposite way- to be less battery friendly than GB or ICS.
Edit: this should be in the Q&A-section, not in the General one. Please report your thread (orange triangle on the right top of your post) to ask if a moderator could move it to the right section.
I have kept it in auto brightness

Before this kies update...I did an odin flashing of two kernels XXLSJ & XWLSD from sammobile. All are having the same issue.
What am not able to understand is why the hell is my screen eating so much of battery when it did not do so on gingerbread.

How about installing BetterBatteryStats (BBS) app?!
Then record an idle dump of about 4 hours and post it as attachment to BBS thread.
There are some "experts" willing to analyze your stats and giving you advises what to optimize.
Good luck !
Ok I have the app. 4 hr idle dump means? And should I set it on current, unplugged or other? Please guide me so that I can get you the correct screen shot!

Just do a factory reset from the recovery. Also, some jellybean roms are known to have poorer battery life compared to their ics counterparts. So perhaps you could consider flashing a jb rom that has better battery life.
Dude...the rom I am presently on is not at all known for poor battery life (check the screen shots of my firmware) yet my case is making an exception.
Could you please let me know a proper firmware for my phone ( purchased from dubai but now residing in India)

So I've been in a war against wakelocks for some time now. Unfortunately, I'm losing, so I'm here to find some assistance. I know the Skyrocket is plagued by battery issues, so improvement (not perfection) is the goal.
I'm currently running the latest stable SlimROM 4.3 build. Currently, my battery drain is 9.2% per hour with limited usage. I have Gsam and BBS installed. The issue has followed my phone and persists across ROMs. I am meticulous with my installation process, ensuring that data, ROM, cache, and dalvik are all wiped multiple times. My recovery is the latest CWM.
I'll upload images below if I'm able (low post count and whatnot).
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys i recently re upgraded from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3 and flashed the latest firmvare I9300XXUGND3 but had few problem with ram usage and battery life.
Ram solved using Developer Options>Limit background proceses>At most 4 proceses but I'm still left with with the BATTERY problem.
When I was using 4.1.2 when I left the phone fully charged over night it discharged just 3-4% of battery now for the same period of stand by time it lost 12% of battery. The same problem even when using the phone for like 30minutes with 4.1.2 it dicharged 1-3% now 6-8%.
I searched the internet alot but with no answer. Can you guys help me if you found any solution or it is just the way the phone works on 4.3.
Thank You!

Let the firmware settle down for 3-4 days. If problem still persists flash again and do a factory reset. Back your data before factory reset.
Also you can always use batter battery stats app to find out the battery drain.
Is your Battery drain in standby or while using the device? how long is your screen on time?

Over night the battery discharged 3% with 4.1.2 and 12% with 4.3. And while using 4.3 uses much more battery!
I could start the day at 9A.M and still have 15% at midnight but with 4.3 I have to charge at 8:00P.M
4.3 likes more battery than 4.1.2. I don't complain memory management. Ok, it uses lot ram, but i don't face any lag or redraws etc. while multi tasking.
Try AOSP roms and you have 200-300mb free ram all the time.
Two words. Boeffla Kernel ..
Had the same problem when i was still using stock rom in my S3. Wait for a few days.. The short battery i had was gone after a few days. If not then factory reset. Now im using Omnirom no issues at all. Great battery life too.
