Try Smart Battery Saver from the Playstore. It has the option for Smart WiFi and might help solve your problem. Sorry, I do not know what caused the problem that made the WiFi shown as being ON 100% of the time.

I have the same issue. Are you stock, rooted, etc?
What's strange is if you look at the "awake" time on your image in the op it looks like it is going to sleep but shows otherwise on wake lock detector and BBS. I'm wondering if it's just a glitch that reports or interprets a permanent wake status when in fact there isn't. Using battery management software I've been able to get a .7%/hr discharge rate when the phone is idle. That's what I would expect, 7% drain in a ten hour period. Please correct me if this is still too high.
I never checked before rooting so I don't know if that was the cause. I'll probably factory reset after I update my baseband to match my firmware (mj4). If that doesn't work I'll probably just give up and just live with it as long as my discharge rate stays low.
I'll update after I'm done.

On this phone are a crazy number of WiFi settings. You may wish to fiddle with them all to get things where you want them. This drove me nuts, too.
Settings, WiFi, menu, advanced (see screen capture). Also running deep sleep app seems to help.
Hope this helps.

I've noticed that there are multiple apps sending out broadcast UDP packets, much more than one would expect. Most are headed to one or another of the google servers in San Jose. I would expect some form of occassional handshaking to sync or update location but not at this rate. Still, what perplexes me is that the discharge rate is within normal limits and the stock battery usage graph still has those little "awake" tics that typically register when the phone wakes up to do some housekeeping. I'm still needing to update my baseband (although I doubt that will make a difference). I'm also going to run a firewall app to see what happens.
This type of troubleshooting is lengthy and boring but since I'm home most of the time at least it offers me some brain drain every few hours (this also has become personal). If my next steps do not resolve this issue then I'll be going back to stock and root again only this time I don't care if I trip knox to 0x1. I like a good challenge but life is too short to take this issue to obsessiveness There is plenty of stuff out in the forums that I need to play with. Got's me some flash fever knocking at my door.

Hi alexv59, I'm stock rooted DeOdex freeza MJ4, nothing fancy, stock kernel, TWRP 2.6.3.7 recovery. Just viper4android, 4x1 reboot menu, and some harvested apps from other roms for my personal use. Stock SecSettings.apk. Either more WiFi options were added with MJ4, or you have to go into advanced WiFi settings (tapping the menu key from within WiFi gets you there, you may have to scroll down to see the choice).
Hope this helps.

Hey guys
So last night my phone was at around 90% battery before I put it to sleep for the night. I have a habit of hitting ATK every time I turn the phone off, so that's exactly what I did.
No wifi, bluetooth, GPS were on.
I wake up this morning to the phone being completely dead...I start it up and it has 1% battery left.

Also, is "Wifi Sharing" aka tethering? This is weird because I have never even configured this feature, let alone turn it on and do not want it on for risk of being charged!
Thanks,
Elliott
What firmware version? (settings > about phone, post android version, Kernel version and build number)
As in the older versions the Wi-Fi sharing feature has a habit of sucking battery.
Also you shouldn't use ATK's, they do more harm than good on modern high memory devices.
As @veyka says, avoid using ATK, download BetterBatteryStats and look for any wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake during the night.
Thanks guys I'll stop using it.
It's 2.3.3
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789
[email protected] #2
Build number:
GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
There hasn't been any updates for my phone yet...(Bell) and I don't plan on putting a different ROM on my phone.
Is there another app like BetterBatteryStats? I don't really buy apps.
veyka: why would Wifi sharing even be on on my phone? I have never used it and I seriously hope it's not on because I don't want to get charged for tethering :s

See the link in my sig for BBS, theres an XDA edition.
No its not on, its just running in the background draining battery (Bug in the program in older 2.3.3 roms). Or at least it looks like it is. Its a part of the rom, it comes on all SGS2 phones as standard, you shouldn't be being charged.
The only way to freeze/stop the app is to root, and if you want todo that or not is upto you. But use BBS to check first.
Thanks I will use it tonight to see. Are there any special settings I need to set to get it to read what's causing the drain?
This is the first time this has happened so obviously something must have changed which caused a major battery drain.

Sometimes the fuel gauge chip gets confused after doing something that uses a lot of juice between reboots, like flashing zips (After all battery status is just an estimate), it will correct itself over time, this on the otherhand is drain due to buggy app.
Okay guys here it is:
http://pastebin.com/HU3bys2j
I'm not sure this will be much help to me, though...because battery usage was back to normal today...~70% battery life after sitting the whole night...kind of **** but it is what it is.
First of all update your ROM, you're still using 2.3.3, in some 2.3.3 ROM's Wifi sharing bug was present, update it to 2.3.6, Wifi sharing bug will be gone for sure.
Now about your Wakelocks there is not much there other than some Chat service, in Kernel Wakelocks there is dormancy present, so disable it, disabling Fast Dormancy helped a lot of people, it should help you too.
Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
Thanks.
I'd rather wait for an OTA update or an official update to update my phone...
I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?
when signal is weak, device try to get good signal. I think that is why your bettery has gone.

You may be waiting a LONG time... There is no harm and very little risk using a firmware from Intratech's Official i9100 Firmwares thread. I believe the firmwares in post #2 are from Samsung, and as far as I know the only modification Intratech does is replace the bootloader with one that can be reset using a USB jig.

From what I understand, fast dormancy causes the connection to drop from HSPA/HSPA+ to 3G if you have NOT been using something to keep an active flow of data under a very small amount of time. So in other words, if you're not loading a web page, or streaming music, and data is generally not flowing to your phone, it will drop the connection to 3G in a few seconds. With fast dormancy turned OFF, it will stay with an HSPA/HSPA+ connection for longer.
There are pros and cons to both sides. You might save a little bit of battery with fast dormancy turned on, but I've found it slows down your online experience, as it takes a few seconds for it to negotiate from 3G back to HSPA/HSPA+.
Hope that makes sense.

Kies sucks. You have to wait for Samsung to update their databases to say your phone in your region has an upgrade (I got tired of waiting after 6 months of being on 2.3.3), and they dictate what version you upgrade to; not always to the latest version.
Check out Intratech's thread I linked above. There are instructions in post 1, official firmwares from Samsung in post 2.
I see.
But how do I know which firmware to download? It's all so confusing...
factory reset and monitor apps installed-simplest way to see what's wrong. If that doesn't help, its gotta be your battery. Also, kill wifi sharing if you're rooted.
Hi

I got an S3 a couple of weeks back.
I've noticed that the battery duration is subpar.
I haven't even rooted the device yet and it doesn't seem to be the same for everyone.
On the pic attached you can see that it has been a few hours since disconnected and it has already consumed almost half of the battery.
I wasn't doing much other than about 20 minutes of web surfing, 3 or 4 texts and about 15 of playing music for my car stereo through the aux. Other than that nothing, no pics, no calls, etc.
I'm on 3G (H,H+) all the time. Do you think that's the issue?

Depends. Please use the dialer code *#0011# (or *#*#0011#*#* on AOSP-based ROM's) and check if the RRC-state goes to "IDLE" when your phone has not transferred any data for some time and HSPA is active.
If not, your carrier probably does not disable Fast Dormancy or you have Fast Dormancy disabled for whatever reason.
Please, if rooted, let Better Battery Stats (free APK here in Xda) record the Wakelocks across several hours and make a screenshot of the Kernel wakelocks and Partial wakelocks.
All I can see from your current screenshot is that you're constantly discharging and probably are on an older firmware (Upgrade!) since it doesn't include the Fix for the cosmetic issue causing the Cell standby being battery drain Nr.1
Are you using Apps like Skype or Facebook? Both are known battery drainers.
Have you been in low-signal or no-signal areas?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I'm in Mexico and we haven't had the update released here. That's why I haven't upgraded yet.
I'd love to go to CM9 but as it stands I don't want to take risks with the modem, the scene is kind of young still.
I'm not using skype or facebook. I do have them installed but I don't have them running. I actually have sync for FB disable.
I'm very willing to uninstall both if you think it will help.
About RRC-State:
If I'm on wifi it says iddel.
The phone seems to go to HSPA only when downloading something and stays on 3G while idle. While on 3G RCC State reads "FACH".
How can I enable fast dormancy?
By the way, since 12 am today, I have downloaded less than 7MB of data from my mobile network. Anything else has been over wifi.

If it doesn't go down to IDLE then fd is confirmed off or not working. However not all providers support it so it's not that easy.
You can try this, but do a backup of the corresponding files first and of course replace wherever required the values with your provider's:

The problem is, your phone keeps a full-fledged high-speed data connection open at all times since it or the network is unable to go to Fast Dormancy. Open 3G/HSPA connections drain the battery faster than you can look. Talk about carriers sucking you dry =)

The modem doesn't change when flashing CM9. You should flash the BFLB modem though since otherwise you get issues with voice calling.
Plus, you can always go back to stock by flashing your (or a close) firmware from samfirmware.com through Odin.
I highly recommend trying CM9 =)

Thanks a lot for the help. I don't think I have the data required for doing that mod for fast dormancy. Most likely that is the culprit then...
I was waiting to root and such because of the flash counter but I guess there is no point in waiting. The phone like this actually doesn't do much for me. It's a pain to be concerned about enough power and I totally need to have the data on all the time (critical work emails). I always carry a backup iPhone 4 in case I have problems with my main android but I rather just use Android all the time (it rocks!).
I guess I'm down for CM9. Just one more question, my firmware doesn't appear as it is on samfirmware. How can I find out which one is closer to the one I got right now?
Edit:
Actually I found it. It wasn't there before but it is now. It might be newer to what I got right now.
I rooted my device and made a nandroid.
Just for research, instead of putting a new ROM I'll try to do a bbs log of my phone as it is to try to find out the reason for the drain although it might very well be the carrier config.
I've recently installed Jelly Bean (LS8) on a family member's S2 - and they've been having some trouble with it. I've attached a screenshot with the battery usage (it has <30 minute screen usage if that matters).
This type of drain occurs over Wi-Fi and 3G.
I've ruled out:
- The age of the battery (it's one month old).
- The cellular signal (always 3 - 4 bars over UMTS).
- The Bluetooth radio (I've turned it off and the same battery drain still occurs).
It's also worth noting that the process "Android OS" made the phone stay awake for 5 out of the 10 hours the phone was switched on. I've turned off Google Now and all geo-location services. The Wi-Fi arrows ALWAYS seem to be blinking. However, previously on ICS 4.0.4, leaving Wi-Fi on would not cause any such issues. What could be the problem?

You could try Watchdog task manager which will tell you if a particular process is using an unusually high proportion of your CPU resource.
If you find it is "Android Media Process" then try installing "Rescan Media Root" which will allow you to disable the scanning process. I assume you're rooted...
Have a look at other resource hogs while you're there - I found Facebook to be one of the other culprits.
I have attached two relevant screenshots from BBS. The wakelock "wlan_rx_wake" seems to be the main issue here, but I have no clue what's causing it. If it's important, there was pretty much only one partial wakelock present, ActivityManager-Launch, and for 30 seconds only.
Thanks for the help all, it's much appreciated.

Got the same issue and went back to ics 4.0.4 finally.
This ROM seems not to be for everyone. Made a full wipe bevor and after flashing. Re-flashed, powered the battery up to 100% and flashed it. At first it was worse than yours than i made it to last 21 hours till phone died. Installed BBS to find out what's going on but couldn't identify a single problem. Android OS used to much power. Was awake to long. Screen uses to much power as well. Seems to be a totaly f... up installation. Tried it 3 or 4 times but nothing went better significantly.
Hope you will have more luck

You're good there.
What is it that you're using bluetooth for?
Car pairing. I've tried with it off, and the same battery drain occurs.
I'm going to try connecting the phone to an access point with no Internet connection and see if the drain still occurs. If not I'm gonna guess it's something on my network or a remote server trying to initiate a connection... Otherwise it's something on the phone that's causing the issue.
I'll try using Shark to capture the packets, I may be able to find something there.

NB: The device received an OTA today. Too early to tell if it's made a difference.

On my Siyah 6b4 kernel, withstands about 40h, sometimes wifi, 3g, I recomended flash.
I don't want to jump the gun, but it seems as if the OTA fixed the issue. No more Android OS "stay awake" / excessive wlan_rx_wake. I'll give it another day and then confirm back here.

Drain
Dear friends,
I had CM 9 with syhia kernel and my battery last 14/15 hrs of real world usage. I was happy.
I updated to cm10.1 qnd that was stupid... Really broken software.
So I wipe again and flash the omega rom based on ls8. Not more than 9 hrs. So i flashed dorimanx kernel 7.45 and with default profile I was able to hit 11 hrs of moderate use. Using battery profile got me around 13 but the phone behave like a htc hero...
I will see tomorrow and post BBS but in the mean time I would like to know if, in your opinion, this huge drain would get better using a neat sammy rom with a custom kernel.
Thank you
I have no idea what's going on. I'm in San Diego and there back in PA. I'm running out of ideas why the DNA is doing it. I have a modified S3 myself so I got no issues. But I had her download Better Battery Stats and WLD and this is what I got from her.
She does have the new 2.06 update.

Sorry to hear about the battery life. I personally have had amazing battery life. My phone was at 14% when I went to sleep and woke up to 7%. Not sure what the issue is. Connectivity is the only thing that stands out. I doubt she had bad reception. Any apps she's downloaded that could be using her connection more than it needs to? Only other thing could be is the battery. Does she leave it plugged in all night?

Well she was getting great battery life before 2.06 I think. And I know my house, the area is quite strong for a connection. I barely got signal in my room and I got better battery life even with RILJ tripping hardcore. Not sure about the apps. But She plugs it in before she goes to bed, and its by her side all night. So it's not left on the charger all night

Hmm. Could have been a bad update? I hate doing a factory reset but it sounds like it might come to that :/ before that when did the issue start? Maybe we can correlate an app download to the start of the issue?

It could be a bad update, but without me actually on the phone myself kinda hard to pin it down. Before the update she only installed a few apps. She already uninstalled 3 of them which she never used. I just looked the apps via Google Play online account and nothing looks suspicious and those are all the same apps she used on the Inc2 before she got the DNA

My guess the update didn't go as planned. Tell her to move all her files to her pc and do s factory reset. Hopefully that corrects the issue. All else fails. She could let the bootloader redo the update and hope that was the case.

Are you turning off data? Perhaps facebook is keeping your phone constantly awake(looks like it) and that kills your battery. First post a picture of the "other" category in better battery stats and get one power guard and post a screenshot of the "statistics" page.
Download gsam and look at what's taking up a big %. Somethings keeping your phone from going into deep sleep.

Yes I had her turn data off. The only time she is on 4G/3G is on the road. Her work place and home is all WiFi use. She is charging the phone so I'll have to get it for tomorrow.

I'll tell her to get GSAM. I even have DS Battery Saver running on it and whatever is running is bypassing DS
Here is the GSAM. Hasn't been running long but the kernel is doing something

Look at the wakelocks in gsam.
And gmail seems pretty high.

Alright I told her to do that. Gmail is quite odd. I think the damn 2.06 update went bad but i can't be sure
EDIT: Here it is. Well the first one was a joke. My mother is a funny one. I suspected the worse. msm_hsic_host. Any way I can fix it without teaching my mom how to root or do other various mods?
Looks like she has bad reception. Go to settings, about and network to see the signal strength. msm_hsic wakelocks happen when you have a bad signal, ril also causes wakelocks. This is probably the issue(90% sure).

msm_hsic only relating to the S4 pro chipset or all phones? Cause I have very little signal where I sit in my room and I don't get anything msm, just a screw ton of rilj on a Galaxy S3

Try turning off "fastboot", make sure GPS and Bluetooth are "off"
Just some info you can take a screen shot by pressing the power button and the home button. Press power then quickly press the home key. Just thought that would help ya out with your captures.

Alright. I knew about it but wasn't sure if it came stock on the rom. And she already gets confused enough why I'm asking her to do and stuff.

Trying to figure out why my battery life is relatively crappy (usually averaging >8% drain/hour under typical use), even when I'm not using the device.
Anyone on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) able to experience the 'Deep Sleep' processor state? I cannot, and I'm trying to determine if there's a particular app (or more) that's causing wakelocks, or if this is just something I need to live with. Without root, it's nearly impossible to tell what's causing wakelocks directly.
If it is an app, I can try to find it, but I really don't want to uninstall and then selectively re-install hundreds of apps only to find out that the device doesn't sleep anyway (if rooted, I could freeze all user apps and then slowly unfreeze, but that's not an option without root).
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about the Doze feature that comes with Android 6.0. I'm talking about the Deep Sleep processor state that is below the low (384Mhz) processor state.
On all my other previous devices, I've achieved this state - granted, most of these were rooted, and I had custom ROMS and custom governors. This device seems to use the Interactive Governor. Maybe that governor doesn't sleep at all?
Anyway, if one or more of you confirm that you're achieving this state, then I'll burn some more time on it, otherwise....
thanks!

I'm getting deep sleep. The battery drain could just be the phone itself. My battery life on the v10 is also pretty bad.

Thank you. Here's mine. Notice zero deep sleep in many, many hours. I feel like this is something that has changed.
Confirming - you're on Android 6?
I guess I'll (reluctantly) do a factory reset and add my apps back. Thanks.

Yes I am on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I'm assuming your also on 6.0 also? Try check your wakelocks on your v10 and see if there is anything unusual.

Yes, Android 6. Unfortunately wake lock info is all but useless without root, unless the offender is really obvious.
I uninstalled almost 130 apps, and this far have reinstalled a little over half. The good news is that she's sleeping again. The bad news is that I'm still not sure which app was causing the issue.

A factory reset helped me out after the update
Be thankful you aren't me right now. I just rooted and put xposed on my phone and my battery is draining from 100% to dead in about 2hours 45minutes...with no screen on time. Granted I'm using wifi tether but still that isn't good, nor normal. When I'm using the phone it's dying at an extreme rate; Like phones from 4 and 5 years ago would. Battery usage says android system is causing most of the drain. Something is seriously wrong ><

That's just wrong. Did you change out the ROM for a custom one, or just root? You might want to try a full wipe and start over if you haven't already.
Truthfully, a couple months ago I debated not taking the MM upgrade so that I could root 5.1.x. - ostensibly to give me more control over battery-related information and activities. I took the upgrade, and - now that my device is sleeping again - I'm kinda glad I did - Android's getting better at controlling rogue apps and with other battery saving methods (e.g., Doze mode). I guess what I'm saying is that if you can't fix your massive drain issue, you could always unroot and take the upgrade ...

I got it sorted. Back to normal battery life.
I was actually on MM for a while but I had to get another phone because my old one started having some screen issues and the one they sent me had 5.1.1 on it so I decided to go ahead and not upgrade this time so I could root and have xposed. For now I'm sticking with 5.1.1 Now that I have everything setup I'm getting great battery life. I got over 4 hours of SOT time yesterday and today 6/6/2016 I got over 3 hours of SOT and 2 hours of tethering and about 10 hours overall before having to plug in.
Once I wiped after OTA my battery was WAY better.
I'm having a serious battery drain problem that i cannot figure out. I'm on mm 6.0 and the phone won't doze nor deep sleep. I did a factory reset several times and it's still eating battery in a ridiculous manner. Any help is appreciated.

Did you try it after the factory reset but before adding back your apps?
Got any screen shots to share (e.g., from a battery monitoring app)?
