BetterBatteryStats
Install BetterBatteryStats and find out what processes are draining your battery.

Better Battery Stats is the app to use.
For me, it turned out that turning of keyboard sounds etc made a big difference.

was facing the same issues.. for me it turned out to be Google latitude, signed out of it and now its back to normal

Battery status

Hi,
When I check which apps are consuming the most battery drain, I have the following
2 procent cell standby
2 procent
96 procent Android OS
I have turned everything off when I don't use it, no auto sync.
Task manager to kill open apps.
My battery lasts 2,5 days with checking mails 5 times a day (manual sync)
But I feel like I could get more out of it.
Sometimes I see people with 8 procent Android OS or something
I know that the percentage of Android OS draining my battery is just an indication compared to the rest of the apps draining battery, so if mail would consume more this percentage would be higher,
But my question is why the big difference between 96 % and 3 % Android OS usage

Poor Battery Life on Captivate Running 4.0.4

I have a Captivate running Dark Knight's 4.0.4 and the battery life I get is very poor. Usually it says that Android OS or Google Services is taking about 30, 40+ percent in battery life. I get about only 10 hours of use with the device, and i still get battery drain even when it is in sleep. I've checked better battery stats and gtalk_async_conn has been waking up the device. I disabled all syncing, and in the Play Store disabled automatic checking for updates. I've tried calibrating my battery also but nothing, mainly since the phone cant turn on for some reason while it is charging. But no matter what I do, that process is still killing my battery. Does anyone know how to fix this? I had the phone off and charging for 12 hours, and 1 hour has past since i turned it on, using the phone for about 3 minutes, and the rest of the time it was in sleep, and the battery is down to 91%. Please Help!

battery drain while sleeping

last 3 nights I noticed huge battery drain, about 1% per hour, anybody knows where is the problem?
my tab runs stock ICS rom and stock kernel
thanks for help
after some diagnostics I found that GoogleServicesFramework is battery drainer (not sure, it has most wakelocks in betterbatterystats - about 50 in 5 hours and its awake time is about 1:30)
Try the OsiMood ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677281. I previously was very disappointed in battery life, but after switching to OsiMood battery life is much much better - especially in sleep mode. Overnight unplugged it drops only 1-2%.
I downloaded autostarts and disabled startup of GSF on every event and left only Application Installed event (if disabled, market wont download any app)...seems that battery life is back to normal...99% at the morning (no keep awake time in battery stats) so it is fixed without changing rom , I did this procedure also on my phone and its battery drain during night is greatly reduced

Battery Drain {FIX}

Ok guys i found a big problem with battery in xperia sp ! Batter battery stats showed a process called *backup* running all the time in partial wakelocks ! Well i can also say that in 5 hours 7 percent o battery were consumed ! If you have this problem go to settings-backup and reset and uncheck everything ! Then reboot your phone and put in charge untill its 100% leave it there for 1-2 hours
magicaly my android system process from 65% dropped to 30 % (sometimes less)
good luck
That is most likely the backup function from Google. It will create some list with the latest apps installed so that after a reset or reflash the apps will be installed automaticly.
There is no Android System in my list so that is or may not be your cause.

dude this 63 percent and after unchecking backup it went 30 percent and better battery stats sayd a process called backup wass consuming the battery !
Dude, it is perhaps an idea to upgrade to 4.3
And man. 11 hours and 36 minutes. You lost 12% charge only. This means that the only thing that would drain battery most is Android system because it means you barely used screen or apps. It's common sense. So it's no surprise your android system consumed so much

well i remember my xperia p holding 7 hours with 100% but okk
Devices are diffrent... Hardware is diffrent and battery is diffrent.
7 hours on 100% does not indicate a thing

because in fact that android System process is the very first process that android will start compared to regular apps/system apps ,thus it is also the first one you'll see taking much battery percentage in battery stats specially if the phone is fully charged then you pulled out the charger,the battery stats will reset and it will detect which eats most of the battery at that very moment which is obviously the system process,and you'll notice battery drain percentage will change depends on how you use your phone..
for example on the first 5 minutes the android system will take that 83% of battery consumption, the Media is 10%, Cell Stand-bye is 2%, Google Services is in the remaining 5% thus totalling to 100%, but if you play on the next minute (says Asphalt 8) for a few minutes..it will varies accordingly.. The Android System process is cut down to 62%,Media is 12%.Cell Standbye is 2%,Google Services is 8%, Screen is 6%,Asphalt 8 gets the remaining 10% of course totalling to 100%.
If your not using your phone that much then you will always see that android system is the one that eats most of the battery as it is the only heavy process running (compared to MEDIA & Cell Standbye,it is alwasy present)..
LOGIC??the battery drain percentage is a dynamic measurements of whats eating battery at that very the moment and it will varies depends on how you will use your phone the next minute, the percentage per app is the total of drained battery not the whole battery charge. Say for example you've got a charge of 85% left in your battery, The 100% total measurement of per app battery consumed percentage is that of 15% drained in your total full charge of 100%.
Edit: a detailed overview of what @Sadman Khan says.

Uptime on recovery after shutdown at 0% battery

I have always had a really poor SOT on this model.
Only once it did 4h, but normally it's about 2h or less.
I don't have many apps and I don't use stuff like facebook or other hungry social apps.
Since some days I started trying to boot into recovery after the battery reaches 0% and the device shuts down.
Well, yesterday it remained turned on into TWRP for 1h43m with screen brightness set at 50%.
I can understand that TWRP doesn't drain battery as a full running MIUI with apps and antennas, but it should be at 0% or anyway almost at a level that could not handle a rom running.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
it's about your rom, try another rom and u'll have better SOT
TWRP doens't have many services as google services so it drains less battery
but your problem is the display of your battery, try some apps that calibrate battery
if all can't help, sorry to tell you that you should replace your battery
