Ok, last week I decided to use my Ace as a phone, not as smart-phone.
So no mobile data, ~ half an hour on wifi and the rest is spent on calls
and messages. Oh, used camera here and there.

Use your phone as a phone for more than 4 days. Problem?
It is possible, I'd just underclock it and use only messaging and phone calls like you did. However, I need and smartphone and it's not really a luxury for me, hence I will not be doing it, but it is beatable.
buy a normal phone ..........

Damn, I forgot about underclock during that period.
Min cpu is set to 245MHz, so yes obviously you could easily beat me with that trick.

The battery meter does not reset but the graph goes up showing that you have charged your phone. So you can't really cheat that way

Sent from my Galaxy Ace using XDA app
maximum i have used is 2g network,,,no xtra battery consumptive usage like in browsing, wifi, brightnes bluetooth,,,screen off most time (no underclock) for 2 nad a half day....
lol ..i have no 3G , use phone for calls and msg only buy mt battery last about 1day or 1 and a half only ...wth?
This solution sounds a bit "Apple style"... It's not that the battery sucks, it's that you're using your phone the wrong way
Now being serious, if I wanted a normal phone, I'd still use my Nokia 2690.
Used my phone as normal phone abt a month ago wen i was in roaming......got around 3 days of battery life
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
But wats the use of keeping the battery draining simply for 4 days?? U neither used the phone itself.. We enjoy the phone and battery drains..r we the only android users who face battery problem? Nope many r there.. Mine is quite simple use..
1. As i wake up mrng see fb for 10 min(With 3G).
2. Play Games in office wen bored so overall in a day for 2hrs at the max.
3. Chatting for 3-4 hrs.
4. Phone call for few minutes.
I get battery for 1 day hardly. But difference is I DRAIN IT.. It dint drain itself
That was done just for fun. I didn't expect to acomplish anything. It's just that we can see complains about battery duration and draining issues all over the place. Well, at least you admit that you drained it.
And it's not true that I haven't used the phone during that period. Like I said, voice calls and messages were used like any other day (if I remember correctly there was ~45 minutes of voice calls) and ~half an hour of wifi.
Again, that was just for fun. Wanted to see how long will it last if I use it like normal phone. And that was just 4 days period. Normaly my battery lasts a day, two days tops.
I have 70 apps installed from market but everything is disabled on the phone (stock 2.3.6) so if I just use the phone for calls only the battery lasts for 8 full days, I'm very happy with the phone, only use wifi to update apps during battery charge!
Damn, excellent results.
But, you know what they say: picture or it didn't happen

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

I have a problem too, my battery life is about one or two hours, no 3G, no Wi-Fi.
I don't know what to do, I calibrated the battery in CWM. I use MiniCM7Prov21 too.
i have the same problem...today at noon it was 100%... now at 5pm it's 50% and i did nothing...not even a message...
...when I don't use the phone....it lasts me about 2 days....when I do use it, to check e-mails, facebook and whatsapp. it lasts me for about a day....
but does battery life depend on how much Free RAM there is available?
Well now I guess its okay now after doing some battery calibration
My battery now can last almost 3 days

Well this is my method of calibrating.... I don't know if this work on other phone but - Don't blame me if your battery faulty.
1. Charge the phone to 100%(while on)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Delete battery stat -advanced>wipe battery stats
4. Off the phone
5. Charge it for 35 min. (I heard charging when its already 100% can harm the battery, so u can skip this if you like too)
6. Reboot then see(Rebooting use few %, so it may not be 100%)
7. Use the phone till it completely 0%
8. You can repeat this 2-3 times If you want
I also use the app Memory Booster to kill all the apps that might be draining battery secretly in the background .(Only kill user app)
The max usage vs. time was 13 hours with:
1. About 1,5 h to 2 h of music on headphones.
2: About 40 min to 1 hour of wifi
3: Few minutes of call and a few messages.
4. About 1 hour with screen on (without counting the above usages) using calculator.
5:One Reboot.
Rest of time the phone was in my pocket or in my desk, laying. In 13 hour, reached 15%
Sorry for english

About the upgrade, try using CWM Installer, it is somewhere, just use the search and you will find it. Upgrade the CWM, and then try to upgrade the ROM.

Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.
On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

Super idea ) i've done that today. All seemed good. 2,5 % awake is fine
Anyone have any ideas what to look for? I dont think I have a battery drain because with the screen off I lose about .5-1% every hour or so. But when im using the phone, the battery seems to drain very fast. The most screen time I have gotten is 2hrs, and its usually less than that.
Brightness does not seem to matter, I always have auto off and have tried brightness at 20%, 30%, 50% and 60%.
Use this application to locate Battery Drain https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5XYXphQmUuYW5kcm9pZC5CYXR0ZXJ5RHJhaW4iXQ..
Update to the latest firmware or put a custom ROM.
The problem has been resolved. I had also a fast drain battery.
I even had the screen On during the night.
When I closed the eyes it was Off, but in the morning at my wake up it was On
Thanks I'll try the battery drain app.

The battery of my SG3 drains so fast I'm evne thinking of returning it (bought it yesterday). It can't be normal, it's almost like my old iPhone 3G. It goes like 1% per minute or so while browsing.
Did this fix and disabled WiFi, no luck.
Gonna try that app and see if it helps.
I think mine is like that as well. Maybe 1% minute when using heavily. Also thinking selling it. Can't return, bought on Craig list.
Very strange behavior. Something must be wrong with your soft or hardware because this is smartphone with the best battery (except razr maxx).

I am experiencing the same thing since i flashed omega rom v13. i was getting 5/5.5 hours of screen time on stock Samsung rom before i flashed. Right now the battery drains 1% every 2mins when the screen is on :/ (brightness has alwsys been around 20/30%)
Only thing that has changed since i flashed is the fact that i had wifi off during sleep on stock but now its always on. I have tried setting it to always off but it automatically switches to always on everytime i do it for some reason.

I believe this is normal with new devices. It takes time before Li-Ion batteries "adjust".
Flashed my phone to another rom, JB 4.1.1 and it's the same. So no, it's not software issue. Hardware? I don't think so... the phone is new and works just fine. The problem is the battery that it's new, or maybe is damaged... who knows (probably not).
I have the same problem. I see people post threads the battery, that lasts 2 days !
I'm thinking of buying a new battery, just to check if it is a battery thing, if the battery is ****ed up or something... The Galaxy S3, should last for atleast one day! and I can't get even that! is there a fix for that? I can post my battery use from the settings if necessary.
There are loads of threads about battery drain, a lot of it relates to Samsung bloatware and background services like face awake etc, you just need to explore your phone, learn how to use it, and see it up properly.....it is not an iPhone...it requires independent thinking skills
I'm experiencing the same problem on CM9.1. Try draining the battery fully twice. That'll calibrate it and improve battery life.

That's pretty much what everyone is saying. I've never drained it, so I'm wating. Hopefully it'll work.
It can't be software because I changed ROMs like 5 times, everytime installing a different one.

Since two days, I'have the same problem.
Before Wednesday, I'haven't issue about battery drain. My phone battery worked more than 2 days idle with about 4hours screen ON and 1 hour voice calls.
But now, it works fine between 100% and 60% and then, battery drain starts. Just a few hours for the phone to indicate that it's remain 5% of power.
Do you think they are a background daemon running sometimes (why since two days?) ? Or it's a network problem ?
I'll try to wipe my battery stats and fully charge the battery.
Currently, my SGS3 International works with the latest UK firmware : PDA/XXBLG8 - MODEM/XXBLH1

It's not normal. My SGSIII drops 1% every 8-12 minutes while browsing...
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

This sounds not normal. It seems you got some apps running in the background and eating your battery. What apps are on your list at the top in settings?
Exynos

No LTE? Are you in bad signal area? Weak signal is killer of batteries.

I don't find LTE is needed but I'm in a pretty good signal area most times.
You think I should go to a Samsung service center ?
I doubt a different device will be any different. Unless the phone is acting up, chances are it's an app or setting causing the trouble. Screen brightness, under location settings, make sure scan BTW and WiFi are turned off, those have been big ones for me in the past. Right now I'm testing adguard which runs VPN on your phone to block ads and it's hitting my battery pretty hard, but with fast charging and big battery, I'm living with it for now.

Also, you might want to set data settings to default and let the phone pick the strongest signal.

Do a factory reset and clear cache from recovery a couple of times, i would recommend a reflash. I'm a sec at best buy.
Temped to return it..
I've a UK version and I've been not really happy with battery life.
First thing, I disables AOD,but that didn't change anything.
I did a factory reset and I did set it up as fresh new without any App and/or Account.
So the phone has Wifi+LTE on and after 21h18m I've 36% left with 1h25m SoT done with Web Browsing.
The settings are standard, no sync, no AOD, Edge night mode.
Should I return the phone?
Thanks for advice
very impressed with the battery life, took it off charge yesterday around 9pm, been on all day on 4g, great 7 hours screen on time , this with auto brightness, 4 emails syncing
