I have GSam battery monitor installed on my Note 3 (SM-900) running stock JB 4.3 (MK1) ....
Since a last few days I have witnessed battery drain on my phone without any apparent reason....I charge my phone to 100% at night (wifi & 3G data is off at night) & when I wake up after about 8 to 9 hours of sleep I find that the battery is down to 85% !!! Strange isn't it ...
GSam battery monitor says that nearly 67% of battery is used by "App Usage" , on clicking App Usage for bifurcation of battery usage I find that nearly 50% of my battery is used up by "Kernel (Android OS)"......How to control this , any help will be appreciated dear forum friends !!
Please help me to solve this....
Are you using a custom rom?

No...
Do you have Google Now turned on? If so try turning off location reporting in Google maps and see if it helps, it's made a huge difference on mine.
Turning the location off helps. The GPS kills the battery.

Hey guys for some reason my battery is being hammered, I've got trillian running cus I like to be signed in all times but I'm using battery saver mode and push to email
I have launcher pro widgets on half hour refresh I've amended that to 1hr and plume every half hour.
Screen is on automatic and im using gmail for email
At work I had 98% didn't use it % (in my pocket) 2 hours later I'm on 69%?
Is it trillian hammering me? I used to love being signed in all the time on blackberry so would like a similar solution
Thanks

check the battery saving mode under the settings on trillian.
I think there were some apps that were running. You can go tothe navigation: setting/application/battery use to see them. The another way, you try factory data to clean everything which you installed.
In the other hand, new battery is unstable. It needs about 2 weeks
Good luck

Look at your battery stats.. Sounds like something is keeping the phone awake.
As a general rule the phone should only very rarely be "awake" when the screen is off.. If it's on alot then start trying to troubleshoot the various apps.. Although trillian is definitely where i would start.
Yeah id say it be trillian, its a battery drainer program as its uses constant internet connection
I'm still calibrating my battery (it's been on 0% for half an hour and it's still hanging on for dear life with the screen on constantly!) but I have trillion so I'll check it out on next charge

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help, download BetterBatteryStats and see if apps are causing kernel wakelocks (not letting your phone go into deep sleep) meaning keeping it awake and using CPU.

Without any other information this history information is absolutely useless. If there is any problem at all you can solve it by doing what themadba suggested in post #3.

The battery history you posted is plain useless.
However, if you have autosync enabled, then disable it

Hi,
I am using Omega v34 ROM and battery very, very bad. On stock rom I had, at least one full day of usage, but now it is a figt to go through working day (7-9h).
I wiped battery stats following a procedure, but that didn't help at all.
And one more thing TouchWizz is crashing at least 5 times a day.

You would need to provide more information.
Have you check what's draining your battery? (you can find a general list in settings--> battery)
You should also try to use better battery stats and ask on the BBS thread/forum for help there to see what the culprit is.
I have between 8hrs to almost 2 days depending on usage.
It seems like screen is using allmost 40% of battery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
set it to automatic brightness. Also use better battery stats and do a full day or night log and ask for help in their forum to see what might be draining your phone.

As mentioned above, sounds like you might have a wakelock somewhere. You can identify any rogue apps with better battery stats and then uninstall or freeze them. Try using power saving mode, you shouldn't really notice any decrease in performance but your battery life will improve. You should be able to get screen on time off about 3 - 4 hours.

I have a Juice defender ultimate and JD is taking care of brightness (but never over 65%).
How can I do this log?

Stop using those apps. They use more battery than they save.

"battery saving" apps are really bad for your phone to begin with. remove that junk first. It's probably one ofnthe culprits keeping your phone awake.
then do the BBS thing I mentioned earlier.

Issues connecting to unsecured wifi hotspots
Using Omega v34 and love it! but when I try to connect to my unsecure wifi at work it won't connect. Please help
There seems to have been quite a lot of discussion regarding issues with battery life on Omega 34, in the Omega thread. Because of battery issues that some people are experiencing, Chris_84 has a suggestion in his FAQ (question 27).
You could try a different kernel. Apparently the Yank kernel is pretty good for battery life (I use Siyah version 1.8.4 with Omega 34 and get brilliant results, but then I don't use my phone that heavily. The Siyah kernel allows you to tweak some settings that help with battery).
Also, a lot of comments in the Omega thread talk about installing BBS (Better Battery Stats, as per the comments by mputtr) and posting the log file into the BBS thread (or even in the Omega thread).

Not sure, but have you tried;
a) Removing the WiFi profile off your phone and setting it up again.
or
b) Reset the router (if work let you)...
Hello, so Ive just updated my Samsung s2 to the nexus ROM 4.2.2 and the battery is doing just fine, the problem is when I lock my phone, the battery runs out like if I was using it normally. I've tried setcpu app but it doesn't seem to work. For example yesterday at 12 am my battery was at 40% and I slept for a few hours than I woke up at 5 am and my phone was already off. I didn't have this problem on jb 4.1.2. Please I need help! Thank you
I'm not sure..... I don't seem to have that problem.

Install Better battery stats from Android Apps & games section. Enable watchdog in settings, then check out if any app is waking up during sleep!! On JB for me battery drain on sleep is quite low!
OK I'll try but if it doesn't work, I might change my ROM so which one do you recommend me for the s2?

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

Before or after greenify?
-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
