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

If you are out and about turn off WiFi, it's a battery drainer.

Over the past week since I got the S3 I've been Turing off all the stuff that eats the battery power.... syncs etc.
I noticed that when I leave wifi on overnight that theres alot a wakelocks still showing up in the graph. BBS shows connectivityService and activitymanager as top two wakelocks of about 15 mins each.
I can't find out what is causing these wakelocks.
When I turn wifi off, the drain goes down to about 1.2% per hour according to battery monitor widget.
Can anyone once and for all help me get rid of all these wakelocks so that the phone is in deep sleep when it's meant to be? I even turn wifi off during sleep policy.
Thanks.

Just needed the first page of your wakelocks. Kernel wakelock can be found from the drop down menu when you hit partial wakelocks. Also use cpu spy to check whether your phone is properly going into deep sleep.
Normal procedure for me when trying to fix a wakelock:
1. Identify wakelocks with the highest up time
2. google the wakelock names because someone else has probably come across the same problem.
You can rule out rom issues because you're running stock with cf root kernel
Also I noticed AudioOut_1- a fix for that wakelock is usually turning off button sounds(not volume!) and in some cases the haptic feedback as well
If you don't mind me asking, what's that frog icon in your status bar?

I dont see anything that could affect your battery. I suggest doing a full wipe and starting fresh. Only restore apps and not their data. Only restore data for apps that are really important and get a startup manager like autostarts

I take it I can use titanium pro to back up and then restore all my apps after wipe? How do I go about restoring on the data from selective apps?
I've been using autostarts since last night and I find it excellent.
One question regarding it....how come when I've stuff like Google+ and Game hub frozen in titanium, it keeps showing up in autostarts(and set to start up at certain event changes...even though its frozen)??
thanks for help so far.
No problem. I don't know why the frozen apps show up in the other lists. I usually just limit the apps in the 'after startup' list and leave the rest alone. I normally use titanium to remove them completely.
As for individual data restoration, you can click individual apps in titanium and restore their data. Also check out your Samsung battery stats and see if cell standby is eating up your battery(it's a problem for me but yours might be more serious)

Well I don't think cell standby is a problem for me. I did a little experiment this morning.
Battery was 100% charged, so I unplugged it, turned off wifi and mobile data and let it rest for 3 hours.
Came back and saw that zero drain had occurred and that the battery was still at 99%(which it goes to straight away when you take off charge as you know).
I also had zero wakelocks as the phone was in a true deep sleep.
So I'm still in the position of trying to locate the cause of my wakelocks when either wifi or mobile data is on!
Could these wakelocks be from the wifi/mobile data just searching for a signal? I've tried to weed out any possible apps causing wakelocks when the internet is on but still cannot find the problem.
Well if you you've narrowed it down to your wifi/data problem, try flashing a different modem(possibly one of the newer ones)

Yep Chillz88 is right. You can flash the modem using odin on your pc or through mobile odin on your phone. Modem files can be found in stock rom thread. I'd post a link but am currently on the go. If you still can't find it I'll put it up when I get back home

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.

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)...

Rooted? Then try Greenify and select every App to be analyzed and then set into sleep mode.

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

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

-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

Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases
