Because my battery emptied too fast with a charger with the extension lead.

yeap,I have an extension lead...you think this could be the culprit?
Right now I try to install AR 52.0 and see,maybe it is a rom problem.What kernel and config do you use?I think at all the posibillities

I use the boeffla kernel on all rom's and i use the default settings for the moment on Temasek CM12.
Yes it's could the culprit because i had this problem with an extension lead and now i dont use any extension lead.

OK here's the report
Charged the phone on wall but just till 95% because I needed alarm and I have to put the phone on a charging lane, anyway, at 100% I calibrated the battery and it seems it is a bit better now...
Tonight I will let it charge 100% at wall and see how it goes tomorrow, BTW the Google services alarms and Facebook alarms are killing me, drain a lot of battery.
As a conclusion, în my way to school I listen music and play a bit with the phone, before calibration I arrived at school with 88-89%, today I arrived with 95%(not bad), a road of 35-40 minutes...quite good, but I want more

Why almost 58 % is spent on 200 MHz instead of deep sleep!?

I use miui.. last build. Using cpuspy I noticed this... however could this be the reason for the poorness of the battery life!?

if you are charging you mobile then it will stay @200 mhz only, if you are not charging its time to check for wakelocks, one of your app is not allowing your mobile to go idle. use betterbatterystats

Wait for his reply before jumping all these premature conclusions. Simple
I already know what is causing his problems, but he has to first post his ROM & kennel details before i can proffer any solution for him.

Please download better battery stats from the xda app section to see wakelocks and cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping.

Battery calibration apps don't work. The s2 calibrates its own battery. You can try to reset fuel gauge chip through extweaks if you are using siyah kernel, but I have not seen a difference when I do that

Hello I have a problem like that with my battery time! My rom is Null_23! and I have GPS turned off and do not have Facebook or some app that eats battery! My kernel is Siyah 1 8 9 + Baseband i9300BUEMA1, Modem XXEMA2. And have tried lot of ROMS to be battery friendly! Still, I bat time minder than 12 hours, and then I might talk up to 20 minutes a day! and I have not changed anything in STweaks for I dare ite and understand me not quite at that. I have the Samsung original charger. Have heard that there are tweaks that you drive through CMW but they work and if they do it Vilen should I have and what settings you should run with the bat good time in STweak!

Install BBS, open it once, let it run and check partial wakelock section. Do this on a single charge as it resets if you charge. Post a screenshot of the bbs screen showing the wakelocks and someone might be able to help you.

[Q] S3 International - ROM

I did try --Purelook HD v8.0- XXEMF1(JB 4.1.2)_by ksr007 on my S3 International I9300 and it seems to be battery hungry. Did try all the kernals listed but it seems to be the same. Any suggestion ??
Could you please explaun your usage ? Average or moderate ?
Request you to install the battery stats app from play store and check which application is eating too much or battery ?

Should I hibernate the apps.. I am so new.. whats this hibernation about
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hibernation its most likely which keeps the unnecessary apps in hibernate mode and lets you save battery .so with Greenify it lets you put your unwanted apps in hibernate mode and dont drink the energy of your battery , as suggested earlier read the op of better baytery stats and learn to use this app and see who is the culprit.

Battery drain fast while phone sleep

Hi,
I updated my one x plus to the latest update everything running smooth, except the battery. With using i terminate all app in tasking manager before sleeping,leaving my phone with 40% of charge, after 6hrs the battery drained to 23% . Anyone have a similar issue and does anyone have the solution? When using the battery is great with 97% all the time 3g on and screen.. watching video on youtube and in chrome and browser for almost 3hrs. Battery drain to 40%

Rooted? Then try Greenify and select every App to be analyzed and then set into sleep mode.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=de
Are you running Custom Rom or installed stock OTA?
If falshed a custom-rom, try to wipe data, system and cache partition and flash rom again.
If stock, try to factory-reset it.
A good tool to see changes, is Battery Monitor Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=de
You will see your standby battery drain in milliampere after let it stay for about ~5-10 minutes in standby. If it is higher than -60ma, there is defnitely something wrong... of course for this test, disable any other drainig feature like wlan, bluetooth or mobile data. If Greenify helped (after you´ve installed and activated it), you will see the drain will stay under -20ma sometimes even und -10ma which is the best you can get out óf this device and any other.
Yes its android 4.2.2 & sense 5, official update and yes i am rooted. Ok i will give a try to these tools

-44ma means that there defnitely something running in background, you normally get this with wifi in standby, music is -60ma + x
How long was the phone is standby before taking the screenshot? Battery Monitor normlally needs some time... .
I suppose you did everything right and you haven´t applied Greenify yet? So do that and check standby drain again

Okay so for what purpose do actually need to have the screen on so long?
One thing i have noticed is that, if you disable power save mode in standby, you will get even a better standby drain, sometimes -1ma and under! according too Battery Monitor Widget 0+ ma D so it´s maybe -0,5ma DD
Just for clearance, greenify only helps to longer standby mainly!
Otherwise i just can advice you to shorten screen on time
