I use the stock rom and after the Update on ICS i noticed my phone is getting really hot even when im not using it. I tried using advanced task killer to close app running in the background and i also close every app i use in ics multitasking... its draining battery very fast! 40 % in 30 minutes. Its not warm the whole time just sometimes it gets warm and drains battery... dont know what to do :/

I had same thing using google maps with gps (as car navigation) but this is the only case. Idle it acts normal.
Taskiller self can take very much battery and make phone hoter. I really dont see + for using them. You need just check battery menu which app take so much battery and then we can help you more.

Taskkiller itself is not running in background. i use it sometimes to look which app are running in background and to kill the ones i dont need. The problem is the battery status is looking normal. Display 33% phone 19% and some other apps do also drain battery.... but the problem is its only getting warm when i dont use it. sometimes when its laying on my desk i pick it up and notice this. when i look at my battery then its sometimes 20% less then 10 minutes before when i checked facebook for example. for me this must be something with the firmware or not? or some hardware defect?
maybe take it to a mobile service
Did you make wipe after ICS update? Maybe its a bad configuration after the update.
Also, you can try CPU Spy in Google Play and tell us if phone is on state "deep sleep" (when you lock the phone, it should enter this state where battery drain is minimal).
Make screenshot of Battery Usage screen and post it here.
Then install BetterBatteryStats, use it for few days, then make screenshots(Partial Wakelocks, Alarms and Processes) and post these here.
I have the same problem, but I know it comes from the Exchange service. Sometime it becomes crazy and drain the battery + heat the phone.
For now, I just have disabled my Exchange account... Not really a good solution.
I have found others thread talking about this problem on other phones (all with ICS), but found no answer.
I did not made any wipe, nor before, nor after the update (from stock GB to stock ICS).
It's not very helping, I fear...
just a few senteces about my day:
The battery was loading untill 7:15 today then i went to school; my phone in silence mode and i used it for 4-5 whatsapp messeges and maybe 3 facebook checks and 1 or 2 instagram checks.
it got hot a few times again and its on 34% now. really bad i would say. on gingerbread i had like 60-80% after a half day in school with much more use.
Now i looked what drained Battery. in ics i cant take screenshot so i just write it down:
40% Facebook Calendar Sync
19% Display
10% Phone
8% STandby
6% WLAN
5% Android Core Apps
4% Facebook
4% Android OS
2% Android System
This is the first time i look at the battery drain seeing that Calendar Sync is taking so much Battery. I still believe it could be something else because before it was nearly the same without calendar sync and display on first place.
So for now i think im going for a wipe, hoping it will be better then.
i will share my experience with you asap. :good:
woah, 40% on that FB crap?
also, the system standby usage seems a bit large also.
try to wipe it, maybe flash some other ROM and see if it helped you.
a healthy battery usage would have display at 70% or so, phonecalls 15%, then all the rest.
depends on your usage tho.
but something is definetly wrong with your phone.
you said that the problem occured after you updated it,
so i think the hardware is out of the question (if the phone worked normal before the update), i'd definetly flash something there, the stock rom is useless anyways..
there are very good roms even if you have locked BL, check kamarush and the new CyanogenTimescape rom also.
keep us updated about ur problem
Cheers!

you must root first, then copy the rom to SD, reboot in CWM, and install from there. it's pretty straightforward from there on just make sure you select "locked bootloader" when prompted.
After the update from gb to ics I didn't notice a much higher battery drain. I use it like on gb and on my feelings battery lifetime stays equal to gb. I have got an unlocked bootloader but still on stock rom using rage kernel ics 3.2.

Soooo. I looke up what have drained my battery and it seems that the Xperia Facebook sync (The stock sync thats buildin in the normal firmware) have drained the battery. on GB everything worked fine. Now i deactivated the sync and the battery life is much better. It seems that my phone also stopped getting hot. But for me GB still had a better battery life. Today i woke up at 7 am (germany) and played Football Manager a few times between the lessons and in a free lesson so im at 16% battery now (should be ok because the football manager drains a lot of battery) and battery usage shows:
64% display
16% FMH 2012 (football manager)
7% Android System
5% Mobilfunk-Standby
4% Facebook
etc etc etc.
looks normal for me :good:
guys my battery life is fine now but i have freezes now... if i use my phone for whatsapp it sometimes just completely freezes. no chance to see a reaktion for any button any ideas wtf is going on there?
Battery drain that you've encountered is definitely not normal. I get about 3 days on ICS, and think that is what you should be getting as well. Crappy FB application is either bugged or broken, because you're not the first one that got their battery drained by FB calendar sync. My advice would be to remove FB calendar sync service, or disable it somehow, if you're not using it.

On the xmp with ics you have xperia facebook. its a facebook calendar, contacts etc sync by sony. This was the app draining my battery. i disabled it and now i have like 1 1/2 day battery with normal usage.
And for my problem with the freezes. i removed all bloatware i could but my phone is not rooted. i was thinking about rooting but i'm kinda new to the xmp roms and its hard to find ics ones that are working perfectly. before i had an lg p990 and i was using cm7.2. it was working like a charm.
i know how to root the xmp i saw some tutorials but im still not convinced

Try to open Facebook, scroll many news until the phone start to go slower... Then, scroll a little more, and then go on Whatsapp or other app, you'll find a surprise
I'm looking for help trouble shooting why my Atrix is suddenly sucking the battery dead over the period of a few hours. I've had my atrix for almost 2 years now and always had excellent battery life. After some app updates a couple weeks ago my phone started sucking the battery empty in just a few hours. I bought a new OEM battery thinking my battery had just expired, but this made no difference. I've uninstalled the apps and killed the processes for apps that I thought might be to blame, but still the problem remains. The "Battery usage" app shows that "Phone idle" uses the vast majority of the power. Is there some way determine which process is actually using the power, or a way to tell if maybe the processors are not being put to sleep when they should?
Download CPU spy from the play Store and check if the processor is entering deep sleep. it might as well be that the signal is low and the antenna, constantly searching for signal is consuming that battery power. Is the 3g ( and data) enabled?

Thank you very much! I installed CPU Spy Plus. In 2 hours 45 minutes my battery went from 100% to 50%. CPU Spy shows 85.9% of the time is in "Deep Sleep", and the rest of the time is sprinkled between 216MHz and 1000MHz. The back of the phone is slightly warm. So it looks like the CPU's are going to sleep properly, I wonder what else it could be?

Or, there is some Background service of an app which is running but not using CPU... could be Maps, try turning off gps.

Did you try turning that off?
Romanoff lhption
According to my phone, only 12% went to "cell standby", 17% to "display" and 63% to "phone idle". My wifi is always disabled, and I always have 3g and data enabled. I just unchecked the options to use WiFi and GPS for location and I'll see if that makes a difference. If not then I will turn off data and see if that makes a difference.
I'm on the right track! Turning off location services did not make any difference, but disabling data entirely seemed to put the battery drain back to normal, AND the "deep sleep" percentage shown in CPU Spy went well up into the 90%+ range. So now I know the battery drain is caused by some app keeping the CPU from sleeping, and possibly using the data connection a lot. FF though some trial and error, and I am now suspecting the Google Play process. With data and background data enabled, if I kill the Google Play process and add it to the auto-end list, battery drain seems to possibly be back to normal. And the CPU is still spending 90%+ in "Deep Sleep". With Google Play running, the CPU is much more active. After another day or two I'll know for sure if Google Play is the problem. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions so far!
PS-> I see that Google Play Store will remove itself from the auto-end list..
OK now I need help. The problem is definitely google play. When I kill the process my battery usage goes back to normal, however the process keeps coming back to life on its own. Adding it to the auto kill list does nothing, and I was unable to uninstall it. Is there some way to roll back google play store to a previous version, or prevent it from starting itself?
What version of the Play app are you using? Version 4.1.10 came out a few days ago, they say among other things it fixes high battery drain on some devices/systems.
From what I've seen, Play is a kinda "special" app. There is no way to freeze it or kill it permanently. Not sure why.

How can I tell which version of play is installed? My problem started a couple weeks ago right after I installed some updates. I don't remember if Play was one of the apps that was updated. Is there some way to roll Play back to an earlier version?
hi, im having the same problem but not sure what is draining the battery. Using playstore 4.1.6 on Mrom whith SV kernel ver. 45. all services and data off, wifi off full signal bars and the battery only lasts 24 hrs on idle.
cpu spy shows 99% of deep sleep time, il try stopping playstore services and post again.

You're luckier than me. Uninstalling the play store service and rolling the play store back to the old "market" helped a little, but definitely didn't resolve the issue. After that change, my battery drain was about 10%/hr. Every time I think I've resolved it, it quickly reverts back to high battery drain. If I completely disable all data then my battery life goes back to normal. My buddy at work is now having the same problem with his Atrix. I'm wondering if AT&T decided that it's time for us to upgrade our phones and pushed down some changes to make these older phones less desirable to work with, by killing the batteries faster.

not so lucky i must say , got the problem back after a couple of hours. im changing roms/kernels in order to find the best combination. Actually managed to get like a 1% /hour battery drain, with ALL things turned off, il keep testing for like a day or two.
i'm having the same kind of issues as well my atrix...
also my battery meter frequently reads wrong i've tried both the atrix battery fix app which i had setup to automatically run the fix when ever it reached full voltage and the bat meter wasn't reading full i've also tried the some other .zip program i found on XDA with minimal success
i'll be paying attention to this thread to see what comes up
Edit...
Did a complete wipe of my phone and installed neutrino 2.9 EE vice GT or GT+ that I have been running previously
discovered Facebook and juice defender ultimate have permissions to modify battery statistics, so I disabled those permissions (along with multiple others from different apps) and turned juice defender off to see if battery consumption changes
As well I uninstalled Google services via titanium backup, report back in as couple days see if anything changes
Reporting, it seems like the phone cant get in deep sleep mode, tried wipes, new roms and kernels and getting the same problem. Maybe its a hardware related issue
I'm having a similar issue. I've removed play services, and changed radios and kernel. Will check to see if this helps.

Same Problem
I have the same problem. I've read all thread and checked Play Service, yes it looks as if it's his fault.
Tried to delete it with "Root app remove" and titanium backup. No result it's coming back!
Really need help. This is a great phone with unique features (docking station). But before it worked 3 days on a single charge, and now 24 hours!
Google bought Motorola why is it so hard to fix this issue and why it's still working under Android 2.3.6... Give us ICS!
P.s.: System version 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US, Android 2.3.6, Baseband N_01.77.37P
Had Google Play 4.1.6. Today changed on 4.1.10 maybe it'll help.
Hi everyone!
Some days ago I bought a new battery for my S3 (seller said to be genuine) and I am disappointed because its performance is almost the same as the one I was experiencing with my old battery (18 month-old battery). For this reason, I have been researching and I have done this until now:
*) Being honest, this comparison is somehow subjective since apart from the battery change, my S3 was officially updated from 4.1 to 4.3 almost at the same time I changed the battery. Then, I wonder whether this update may have affected my diagnosis on the battery duration.
1) According to the point * I decided to do a battery calibration "without root" consisting in draining the battery to 0% and charging until 100%. I haven't seen any improvement doing this.
2) As consequence I analyzed wakelocks. I have addressed two of them from the System:
- AudioOutLock. to fix this one I did as recommended: disabling sounds when typing and all of this.
- Backup. Fixed by disabling the backup from Google (I would like to have it enabled but if it is causing a battery drain...)
3) I let the phone the whole night turned on with the 3g connection on and I got a ratio of 2%/hour draining. I have read this is more or less under the normal parameters.
After doing all of this I'm still not happy with the performance. Usually, my mobile gets under 20% by the end of the day with the screen on in a range between 1h30m and 2h. If I remember well at the very begging (when I bought my phone), I was getting my phone at 20% by the end of the day but having the screen on for 4h or more. After buying a new battery, I was expecting to return to that situation.
Do you have any hint? As for example a better way to calibrate? Factory reset may help? Should I check a specific wakelock?
Thank you very much in advance!
I forgot to mention that when I let it charging over night, my s3 does not always charge until 100. Sometimes it's until 98 or 95. I don't know if this helps you guys as a hint but I want to provide as much information as possible.
Thanks

Thanks!, I will check. But so far I have briefly seen it looks like there is not a specific solution more than disabling gNow and some other things. Maybe a good option is to downgrade or using a custom rom in which there aren't these problem.

Thanks!. I have been using Wakelock detector but I will try with this one. I was wondering if using this kind of applications for checking the wakelocks may provoke some battery drain itself. I mean, should it be used just for analyzing when you experience a battery issue? or should they be permanently installed no matter whether you have battery problems or not?

Hi, Better Battery Stats is using an already existing process of Android to obtain it's information, therefore the influence of the app itself on battery drain should be negligable.

Thanks for the info!. I have not seen anything special in the partial wakelocks. In the kernel wakelocks, it is difficult to distinguish whether one entry is specially problematic or not. After what I have read so far it may be the mix of social apps I have now installed:
- Whatsapp
- Twitter
- Messenger (FB messenger)
- Line
I guess maybe I have too many of them reason why the battery is draining more than normally when the screen is off

mk6 is fine with the battery...so firstly install an app called better battery stats search for it...install it and let the phone to be in standby mode for 4-5 hours..and then see in partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks..and post those screenshots on bbs thread...someone will surely help you..
sometimes changing kernel could solve the problem..boeffla is the one i am satisfied with..and agni kernel is also one of the better kernels..:good:

Sorry for the delay to answer, I've been busy. Here I post the images of the battery stats. Sorry, they are not what you told me to be having them 5 hours quiet (that's difficult for me). However I can tell you that the 40minutes of screen on where just chatting on whatsapp or checking emails; no angry birds or need for speeds hehe... Are these images ok to be posted on the thread you told me? Thanks in advance!
I had a poor battery perfomance after upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 until I've disabled fast dormancy. It seems that in v4.3 is enabled, and if your carrier doesn't support it, it will eat your battery. Donwload free from market "fast dormancy togle" by Siyah, and that's it

I have just rooted the phone and disable the fd. I hope this works!. Thank you very much for the info. However, now that I have it rooted, do you suggest to install a custom rom for getting a better performance? if so, which? there is a good one with 4.4 and multi-view?.
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing allblacksback mod it makes the whole system dark and saves battery on display and also I recommend disabling Google play services but this means there will be no push services but it saves a lot of ? ? ? ?

After giving a try to the idea of disconnecting the fast dormancy here I give you some reports on the battery consumption. I don't know why but statistics are wrong from the point of view of the duration (3 days).. since I disconnected it just 10 hours ago. I think its consumption is still huge. I hope you can give me a hint on it. Thanks!
Ive installed smartdroid. Battery perfomance seems quite better now! What do you think from the screens? However.. i find the screen too much consuming.... ive seen people managing 5 hours of screen in a day. Why i am not? May it be battery or configuration?
Thanks!
Do you have any hint on this? Ive seen that with the screen off the consumption is really good. However, with the screen on a doing normal stuff: chroming, feedlying or whatsapping it goes to a 20-25%/h.
Hi,
almost everyday the battery on my S3 gets empty within 8h. I'm on stock ROM. The battery stat reports "OS Android (22%)" and "Google services (19%)" are eating the most battery. I already tried factory reset but after a while the battery drains again.
I would appreciate any help.

Install BetterBatteryStats(search for the thread on xda),charge your phone and leave it few hours(at least 2) with wi-fi on,then take screenshoots of Other,Kernel Wakelock,Partial Weaklock and Alarms and post them here to get help.Btw,you have to be rooted to do this.Good luck!

It would be helpful if you can post how old the battery. Usually Li-Ion batteries begins to degrade totally after 1.5 to 2 years. If it is old, it might be worth it to buy a new battery.
However if you're buying a new battery, try to get one with a recent manufacturing date on the battery. Li-Ion batteries will degrade with age, even if they're not in actual use. So a recent one is better than an older, even if both are un-used.

Looks like the Google Play Services cause the drain.Look what you can do:
1.Install xposed framework then download from play store Amplify,activate it in xposed and restart,this will kill a little bit the Play Store Services
2.Install greenify and hibernate all the apps that you don't need,if you need notifications from a specific app(eg:Facebook,Facebook Messenger,What's app) don't hibernate it because you will get the notification with delay.I see that google search cause draint too,so you should hibernate it
3.Also try to debloat your rom,install an app like Titanium Backup and freeze or delete system apps that you don't use
4.Try to keep as little smart functions as possible,they kill the battery
5.If none of these advices don't make trick,you shoul consider buying a new battery,because,as you said,the battery is about 2 y/o and the Li-Ion batteries have a 1 and a half-2 years life
Hope I helped you:fingers-crossed:,if so,don't forget to press the Thanks button
Thanks! I have not yet tried your steps to tune the services because it seems that my battery is really dead. Last days I'm experiencing screen flicker and GSM disconnects. Not sure if this is only caused by the battery itself or has something to do with the rooting (hope not). Anyway it started after rooting my phone. If new battery will not help I will try your suggestions.
Hello everyone,
My s6 Edge does not go to sleep. It drains huge amount of battery while idle.
I need urgent help. I have disabled all AT&T bloatware. But it still does not work.
I have also tried hard resetting it, it does not work. Battery continues to drain.
Thank You.
Is this something new or has it always been like this? Btw, which version of LP are you on? 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?
Its new, LP v. 5.0.2

5.0.2 seems to be notorious for battery drains...check if your device has the 5.1.1 update which seems to be better in terms of RAM management. Also, are you data or wifi...if on data, then LP is again notorious for a world famous "mobile radio active" bug...it's all over the web...So, the best solution would be to either put the phone in deep freezer until Google fixes the huge bugs in LP or sell your phone...just kidding...
After updating your device (if there's any), do a factory reset...it should solve your problems...hopefully
Does not go to sleep? Check your settings about screen timeout..The battery drain can be fixes through system update..if samsung has any update ready

I hard reseted my phone, disable all bloatwares, haven't installed any apps, haven't signed in to anything (even google, only signed into samsung account). charged to 100%. Left the phone for 4-5 hrs, battery drained to 81%.

I was going to say just make sure you dont have too many apps running and you can also download a battery saving app on the play store for free which can help. It sounds like theres something you have running draining your battery though. Keep in mind however that the galaxy s6 edge when charged to 100 percent can hold a charge for quite awhile, but if your only charging it too around 40 or 50 percent it will die rather quickly.

What does it tell you in the battery stats? That's the first place to look. Is Screen at the top or something else like Google Services or a fitness tracking app? Send a screenshot of that as a starter for 10.

Your best bet is to install TWRP, root, and flash "No deep sleep fix", thats if you dont care about tripping knox of course.
Seems like an aggressive suggestion since we don't know the root cause yet. It might not be a wake lock issue; it could be location tracking or updates getting stuck. I'd rather see the battery stats first.
Screen is not even on the list, i haven't used my device for more than 15-20 mins (used chrome & inbox for 15-20 mins in the morning)

Google Services like I thought. There's a number of things that can cause this as it's quite a fundamental service. The most simple fixes are:
- Make sure there's no pending updates in the Play store. These can work havoc with the battery when waiting for manual approval
- If this doesn't work, remove your google account, reboot and re-add it. For some reason this can fix the sync issues that cause drain
- Still no dice? The next one is to backup, factory format then restore your backup. It's a bit extreme but sometimes when you update your software it causes a glitch that only goes away with a factory format
Each time you try a fix, let the battery fully charge then check the stats a couple of hours later.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will let u know the results soon.

You're welcome. If it's any conciliation I had exactly the same issue and fixed it this morning with those steps.
Google services is one of the biggest battery user but it still doesn't explain his erratic battery loss. I never turn off any features and get decent life.

Tried the third step many times before, didn't work.
So, yesterday I tried the 1st & 2nd step, worked like a charm, I was happy but today, the same results (battery was draning like i was playing games). So I completely removed my google account and left my phone for a few hours. Here is the result (see attached). As you can see no Stupid Google Play Services in the list but what is eating my battery ????

Again, LP has a world famous bug called the "Mobile Radio Active" bug. What this means that if an app uses the data services for some odd reason LP keeps the mobile radio open even if the app does not need it any more...So, for all you know ur issue is Android related and not your device specific. Oh btw, the upcoming M also has this confounded bug...so I believe we will be plagued by this bug for the foreseeable future...And I dumped my iPhone for this buggy Android...Dang!
How is your reception, If most of the time your phone struggle to get reception, it may be part of the problem, just my 2 cents, not an expert, but myself trying to get rid of the google service battery bug...
Better battery stats would give detailed information as to the cause, yet it requires root on all lollipop devices. Helped me find the exact cause of my phone never sleeping
