Hi everyone ! I'm on Omega v35 (Samsung) Rom and 3.0.36-Perseus-alpha29 Kernel. And I have these connected accounts: Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange and WhatsApp.
When WiFi is on I loose about 2.2% per hour. (Google Now is disabled, GPS off, Data off, CPU almost all time in Deep Sleep)
When I turned off WiFi I've been loosing 0.8% per hour (other settings remained same).
So my question is, is this normal battery drain ?
In BBS I've noticed that my most active Wakelock is: AlarmManager (Android System) and Kernel WakeLock: Battery-monitor
I've also attached BBS Dump file.
Thanks for your answers
2.2% is not that bad yet. Wifi uses lots of power, especially on some routers that (it seems) do not allow throttling of transmission speed during sleep or that are far away.
Especially considering that you have 2 out of the "bad 3" installed (which are: Facebook, Skype, Whatsapp) when it comes to battery drain it's not very surprising that the AlarmManager (responsible for waking up your phone when there's stuff to do) has a high count.
Battery-monitor is the stats itself. As long as it runs it obviously needs to periodically collect data.
I guess it won't be possible to root the phone and give another BBS stats? Those are far better and if using Siyah more detailed.
Also, please include a screenshot of Android's own battery graph (in full-screen,not the one with the apps beneath) since that shows the wakelock distribution
Thanks for your answer, the phone is rooted, but I forgot to enable rooted options in BBS. So I'll leave it for the night and then post BBS stats and screenshot.
Maybe this question is little off topic but you've mentioned Siyah, I've flashed Siyah but when I entered Recovery there still was CWM recovery (which was odd because I had Galaxy S2 and after flashing Siyah I had Siyah recovery) so I've wiped everything flashed again but nothing changed, I've checked in System info under kernel and it showed that Siyah was installed and I could run STweaks normally.
Is this normal ?

Maybe try other modems?
I'm running Omega v35 and Perseus 27a and I've noticed worse signal/higher drain compared to v34. I flashed BUELK1 modem (AFAIK it's the one from XXELKC, Omega v34) and I'm loosing about 0,5% per hour again (wifi, data etc).
Although I'm not using any auto sync, my GPU/CPU is UV'd and I have some apps frozen in Titanium

Does anyone have tried perseus 29.2 with omega v35. I wonder how battery performs with them.
So I've left it overnight again (same settings as in OP).

First thing I noticed that your wifi is on all the time.
Let it turn off once your screen is off.
Settings > Wifi > Advanced and select wifi on while sleep, never.
If I do that will WiFi be reconected from time to time to receive notifications from gmail, whatsapp etc. ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Use DS Battery. It turns off wifi when screen is off but will let it connect every designated period to let your phone sync. I get about 20% drain overnight over 8hours. I UVed all my clocks so I'd say yours is pretty good.

No, it turn off your wifi if your screen is off for some time. I am not quite sure, what's the default value is.
After wifi is off, device use mobile data to receive notifications. Also, you should disable auto sync because that's also major battery drainer.
I get 5-6% battery overnnight.

I have the international version and the battery drain in standby is a big problem. I lose about 1% every 5-10 minutes. I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network. I've been using GSam Battery Monitor to locate the problem. I saw Facebook woke up my phone for about 500 times and I deleted it. However, I'm still experiencing this issue. In 5 hours Google services woke up my phone 47 times (in included packages it says: Google Contacts Sync; Network Location) and Maps woke it up for about 20 times.
I'm rooted and I'm running stock (LH1). No custom kernels or modems. What's the problem?
EDIT: Also, the drain is happening only when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network (I noticed it's much slower while I'm on mobile data)

I've been using BBS for quite some time actually, but I was unable to detect the problem. I've also been using GSam Battery. But what I've noticed is that this drain happens when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network or at least it's bigger then.

I've turned it off and as far as I've seen it didn't fix the issue. However, I will leave my phone for a couple of hours tomorrow to see again. There are apps for which I have to have it turned on (Foursquare, Maps etc.) so that's a bummer.
Even I am having the same problem of battery drain. Will it get fixed if the change the battery considering I have two 2 Galaxy S3 with the same problem of battery drain.?
Also I want to root my phones, but is there a way to root the phone without the warranty being void?
I've been experiencing some minor battery drain issues and what I found is that if I log out of all the apps I'm logged in to, my battery drain is significantly better. Not a perfect solution but I'm slowly figuring out which one is causing issues.

Hi,
I have found that my battery which currently is still the standard one drains very fast and my phone is getting very warm.
However I have noticed that once my battery hits 50% it cools down and does not deplete so quickly.
I do have a programme that is left running which is a VOIP / SIP client I use CSipSimple.
Is there something that I could try to get the phone to last longer on the battery?

1. Post your ROM details. Goto Settings - About, post everything, preferably a screenshot.
2. Post screenshot of your battery info
3. Download better battery stats (paid in playstore, free on XDA), and check what's causing the problem.
4. Download cpuspy, run it for some time and check your cpu usage
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi,
Ok I have attached a few screen shots as asked
I have downloaded CPU SPY and will leave this to gather some info and I have also downloaded BATTERY SPY and will do the same.
Do you have a link to better battery stats?
I have also noticed that when I leave my phone on when charging it gets very very hot and sometimes does not full charge after a 9 hr charging window.
However if I switch the phone off it stays cool and is fully charged.
First try to remove your external sd card and check if problem has been solved. Sometimes if there are corrupted media files or there is huge amount of such data, media scanner gone crazy and bootloops itself when trying to index them all.
You could use some kind of apps to disable media scanner (old Nitrality or something newer like Rescan Media ROOT) or remove your movies, music and pictures temporary from phone. After that wipe data of media storage and gallery from settings-applications menu and reboot your phone.
Of course do not overclock your phone. You could also try to set it in battery saving (eco) mode when charging. Disable all wireless communication (mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) and turn Airplane mode on.
Sometimes phone is getting hot while playing games when WiFi or mobile data are enabled. This could be kernel related issue (if custom) or inproper to your baseband Radio Interface Layer (RIL) driver installed. You can fix it by installing Getril from playstore and downloading ril corresponding to actually used baseband.
Of course it could be also some crapware on your phone installed. Or configuration issues (scheduled tasks, etc.) I don't know what kind of apps you have got on your device and how you using them. If your problem persist than try to factory reset your phone to be sure that this is not some kind of app issue.

You can choose it in this app. Tap on the ril above 'Download & install Ril ' button and select one which match your baseband or leave this proposed by app and hit mentioned above button.

Thought you would say that I have tried that but it still tells me the RIL and Baseline do not match after I have installed it.
In this case you could try to flash LPA modem (for this one you have ril installed). Or flash any other modem you like and than change your ril.
Reboot after changing to be sure it's properly loaded.

I'm getting similar issues, phone heating up, battery draining very fast. I've recently brought a new 2500mA battery from Ebay, and have been getting very fast drain issues. It has been going on for a few days now, even before the new battery. If you could tell me how to set up better battery stats, I'd happily provide you with a dump. I've tried changing from ICS to JB. Downloaded the correct RIL. Reset the fuel gauge, calibrated the battery at 100% Only thing I've not tried is gingerbread (I've never had GB on this device) and starting over with ODIN.

Hi, today I woke up and noticed that overnight (7 hours) my battery dropped from 99% to 47%. I looked in better battery stats and I noticed that my phone was running at 900CPU all the time. I really have no idea how can that be happening, until today everything was fine and I haven't installed any new app. I am running Omega 29 with Phenomenal normal kernel. Would full wipe and reinstalling ROM help?
Thanks

Check your battery stats and see what it was doing, could be anything from Apps running in background (Sync, GPS...)
If there is an app there that drained it, you don't need to get rid of it, put your phone into Power Saving or download a 3rd Party app called Juice Defender. That will stop it. Also if you don't want to do that, you can just Force Close the App that used your battery at night and leave it at that.
Oddly tested mine overnight wifi and gps off 150 apps .
12 hours 2 % drain and that's the usual .

Since it's Omega go into S Tweaks Scroll down the bottom to CPU Scaling and select one of the others on the Drop Down Menu, (pegasusq) try the others. Hopefully that will do the trick. Do not underclock the device under 800 as it will c*ck up the phone.

Hello.
This is a cry-for-help kinda question as I have exhausted every other possible solution to fix my problem.
I have a massive problem with battery loss and phone not going to deep sleep mode.
I am currently using ParanoidAndroid 2.54 with default (and tried Siyah 1.8). Needless to say it is JB 4.1.2 and everything is running without any problems apart from the battery issue. This is the international (UK) Galaxy S3 i9300.
So, I've lost 50% in space of 2hrs!
The CPU is never entering deep sleep mode but always stays on 200Mhz (ofc checked when not in charge). I've installed CPUSpy to verify this, and also installed BatteryStatPro to see the full details. The offending processors are:
MultiPDP 66.7%
secril_fd-interface 34.6%
I2_hsic 15.9%
wlan_rx_wake 15.8%
PowerManagementService 13%
rpm_hsic 8.3%
umts_ipc0 8.3%
tx_hsic 4.6%
Now from a quick internet look up, it looks like FastDormancy is the culprit. So I went ahead and disabled fast dormancy using Gokhal's app and rebooted the phone. Needless to say, no changes happened.
Just for clarity, I am never connected to WiFi - always on T-Mobile UK H+ Network. I have a full bar network connection.
Prior to going to PA JB 4.1.2, I was on MIUI ICS 4.0.4 and I didn't have this problem. I have also the latest JB baseband for i9300 which is I9300XXDLID.
Any help, even clues, anything really, would help me greatly!
Thanks,
Mo.

Thanks for the reply.
My RIL does NOT match the radio:
RIL: XXDLIB
Baseband: XXDLID
I will downgrade to XXDLIB but I doubt that would fix anything.
Meanwhile, I've attached what you asked for. Please do remember that Kaiten *shouldn't* be the cause of this problem as I have not touched the settings from ICS to JB (didn't have the battery issue in ICS).

Ah yea, also, I am not seeing the network name in the notification bar dropdown (you know where you can drag up/down the notification window). It previously used to say T-Mobile UK, but now only says No Service.
However I've got full H+ Signal (both calls and internet). On top of it all, if I go Settings > About > Status, then I can see T-Mobile UK.
And lastly, network search fails with no results. Which is very *very* weird.

I'd suggest trying a different modem / baseband. As far as I can see its a network problem. Since you are not using wifi and only mobile data you should consider a new modem.

Media Scanner is not an issue as very little battery was lost when the phone was in airplane mode (3% in 6hrs!). Also if you look closely at the screenshots, MediaScanner only takes 2.5% of the partial wakelocks!
Don't really know what to do, unless I upgrade to CM10 official or something. Currently the phone is running phanandroid 2.54 which is based on CM10-RC0.
Thanks,
Mo.
Update:
Summary, issue is not fixed but a bit better than before (battery-wise). I moved roms from Phanandroid to CM10 Nightly. I have the latest radio and matching RIL.
Battery consumption is a lot less now, but still multipdp is taking the most battery. I can actually see the phone going to Deep Sleep for about 15% of the time, the rest of the time usually on 200MHz. I am now outa ideas and I am pretty sure that this is a rom issue ....
If there is anything else I could do, please do let me know.
Kindest regards,

Your ROM is not responsible for battery management, kernel is. Also network hungry apps are generally the reason for high wifi - data usage and hence multipdp holding wakelocks.
Which kernel are you using? How many apps are using background data? Do you have fetching apps like Facebook, Twitter, Google+? How many gmail accounts? How many corporate emails? Sync frequency of all the apps can tell us a lot.
If you can provide these we might be able to help.

Hey. Thanks for the reply.
I am using Siyah Kernel (1.8 and 1.8.4) ..
As I said previously, I haven't changed apps since I was on ICS.
- I have just one Facebook account. No contact syncing there - but I do have notifications running.
- One Gmail account with email syncing off.
- I do have three email accounts (managed by Kaiten Email) which use Push notification - thus there shouldn't be any polling.
- And no cooperate emails at all.
And you are right, power management is done by the kernel. However, this isn't power management - it's connectivity management and both kernel and ROM affect and are affected.
Thanks.

ICS and JB are very different in terms of memory and battery management. I was getting 2 days with moderate usage on ICS and now on JB getting roughly one day with same usage pattern.
Network itself can't be the reason unless you have a rouge app. The phone keeps a wakelock to accomplish certain tasks like checking for email, Facebook, Twitter so on and so forth.
As far as I can remember you were not using wifi. I think you should consider using a wifi for a day or two and see the Wakelock situation. Mobile Data is a battery killer. Most of the time when you see full signal with H+ (or whatever) that actually doesn't mean that your Internet is running at its best.
Can you do that? Use wifi for a while when you are on or off the phone. (screen on and off)

I don't think that's an actual solution - my problem is that I don't have wifi at work thus I have to use Mobile Data........
I use WiFi at home, and sure the battery lasts a lot longer. I've lost 8% from 11pm till 7am when connected to WiFi.
I do know that certain things are very different in JB compared to ICS - but most of those things have changed to make the UI more responsive (I'm referring to project butter and CPU freq jump when interacting with the screen). Given that the phone's screen is off, this isn't applied.
But something has changed - maybe in the JB codebase, maybe in the JB radios, maybe in the CM codebase. Given that upgrading rom made the issue a bit more bearable I would go back and say that CM is the culprit.
But again, this isn't a solution - and we still don't know WHAT exactly is causing this.

You've got me all wrong. I was suggesting to use wifi so you can get a BBS dump and than use mobile data, get a new BBS dump and we can have something to compare to.
Nevertheless, your multipdp wakelock can only be due to high data traffic. The phone doesn't keep a data connection by itself if an app doesn't aks for it. One of the apps use are using is responsible, we know that. The problem is we don't know which one asks for so many connections and since you ruled out modem / baseband as motive we should drill the apps.
Sometimes restoring apps from TB can cause issues and you may need to set up some apps manually.
Can you dump the alarms and processes from BBS?

I know this might sound odd to some of you, but i was doing some heavy use on my phone, and i noticed somethings that happen most of the time but not always, and here they are:
_when playing music via LG's music player, the music stops (sometimes) when hitting power button in order to lock the screen.
_Tapping on youtube and playstore links on the stock browser (modified by LG) takes you always to the mobile site for youtube and not to the youtube app. the same thing with playstore links, it doesn't ask yo if you want to open it in playstore app, but it takes you to the website. i know all about the default actions but believe me, i know what i'm saying. because this doesn't happen using Chrome.
I noticed, that when i'm using google now's voice actions, it doesn't give voice feedback. (even when i set it to us english)

Did not noticed both. Both work perfect. See if there are any default program settings and correct it.
The only problem I noticed is , it takes media scan after each file operation I do. Sometimes it does after boot.

Wifi in standby drain too much battery than ics

All working here fine, reset all default apps, if your wifi drains turn off all auto sync apps. Thats all after jb update phone fly.

It s not the problem. In ics wifi in standby drain 0-1% battery for many hours, with jb wifi drain too much battery in standby, completely bad.

Agreed if you say "bad" but disagree if you say "completely bad". Actually companies dont release roms if they are bad.
Try to do some investigation and find the reason for drain when wifi is on.
I must have 4 Gmail accounts setup with Auto sync. Every 10/20 minutes I get notification sound saying "I've got mail" on "WiFi" which is "ON" all the time in office and home (total 8+ hours)). But I did not notice the drastic drop in battery level. I still get 24 hours in around 60-70% juice.
Like zanakorus33 said you must check which "unknown" and "unwanted" apps are squeezing too much juice from battery while WiFi is on and disable them.
In fact "WIFI" does not drain your battery. Its various app, which get activated when WiFi gets on and try to connect internet for syncing.
PS: Just flashed P765 CIS JB rom and experimenting, else I would post some screenshot too, which I always do.

You can think what you want, it's not my problem. Please dont say things about app, drain app, app that draining etc. etc.. i know this stuff very well.
I say this:
with SAME APPS, SAME APPS, FEW APPS with ICS i can do 1 day and half, with JB not.
JB drain battery more than ics, in particualr when wifi is on.
In standby with wifi on in ics.. ... i have already explain in previous post...

The battery drain when using wifi on standy also happens to me.
I kept my phone turned on during the night, at the beginning it had 55% left, the next morning it only had 15%

At night, I prefer to automatically shut off all radio (wifi, datasync, bt, gps, etc and silent mode), with smart profiles free, except Phone network. Calls and incoming sms still working. Before I wake up in morning all gets started automatically.
I think I dont need wifi, datasync, etc, while I need to sleep. And also have habit to manually start and stop wifi when I need it or not. Maybe this saves some battery for me. In office, wifi mostly on. Everyone have their own ways and preferences, hence different results.
Picture quality has reduced after upgrading to Jelly Bean. I've checked all the camera settings but still pictures a little washed out. Pictures looked better on ICS rom.
Is it me or anyone else also have this problem?

I did not notice this before but after doing some more photo tests, I can say that, the camera quality is reduced and even flash brightness is not perfect all the time.
How is the battery life in jellybean as compared to ics???
Should i upgrade from ics???

As others have said battery life is slightly worse on JB. For me with 3G and syncing on I could make three before going down to 5% battery (about 33% percent per day), now I have 50% per day. Of course it's highly dependent on usage, talk time, etc.
I have anoying thing on JB P760 V20C.
When I switch off airplane mode and Wi-Fi tries to connect to my home network, some window popups for a fraction of second, like my home net is not available and JB asking me to choose other net (of course the window disappears so fast that I can't really tell if it is really what I suspect).
The same scenario worked flawless on ICS (no popup window).
