I'm not thrilled about mine. Its OK, but seems a little much. Just looking to confirm.
This time stamp is inaccurate. Just wondering about the os usage. Anyone else near this?
Without context battery stats can be misleading......
That said your system usage seems high. What ROM are you running? What programs are installed? Is your phone sleeping when the screen is off? What have you already done to trouble shoot the issue? Etc, etc?

Would you mind posting up the other screen. If 85+ % android system is normal then I won't worry about it. Just curious. Battery life isn't terrible. Just seems like a super high number.
I'm on rooted el30. No major mods. Stock kernel. I put a little battery mod w uot kitchen. I leave my data on and GPS . Pretty much everything w sync set out as far as it will go time wise.
Like I said, if high android system is normal for an epic 4g then I won't sweat it...but if most people don't see these numbers then I will Odin and start over haha
I'm on CM7 (stock). After 14hrs of very little usage my Android System is at 2%.
What are your use details on that?
How about someone w a tw based rom. I'm sure aosp will have different readings than tw. Thank you though.
Slightly different yes...drastically different, no.

Looks right to me if you have about 20 minutes of usage and then it depends on what you are doing. Everything reports as Android System in Gingerbread.

I can handle that. Thanks.
I have a really frustrating problem with my HTC Evo.
My battery doesn't even last me 6 hours.
The battery was never great but now it seems to be much much worse.
I can charge the phone to 100% and 20 minutes later it will be at 70% with little to no use.
I checked the battery use list and the display is using the bulk of the battary at 48%.
I don't see any rouge apps that are consuming my battery.
I noticed that the Up time and Awake time are exactly the same. This doesn't seem normal.
The Awake time should be the time the phone is actually in use, right?
I have tried many times to calibrate my battery using the BatteryCalibration app but it doesn't seem to help.
In the Battery Calibration app it lists the current charge at 8% with 3647mV.
The mV amount seems quite high for 8% battery left. Shouldn't the mV be closer to 0?
I am using Scott's CleanRom 1.1
Baseband version: 2.15.00.05.02
Kernel version: 2.635.10-Agressive-Freedom-v0.9+
PRI version: 2.15_003
PRL version: 60686
Any help would be appreciated.
It seems like a wakelock issue. I am not sure how to fix it. There are a few threads about it though. I know you have to enter some commands in terminal emulator and that will fix your problem.

Have you tried flashing different rom? Or different kernel. Some phones don't like certain roms with kernels, try different kernel first because your most definitely have wakelock issue. Try to use amon ra recovery to flash.

You can try to do that, it might work. Just to be honest with you that rom is a bit old. Maybe you can try classic by tommytomatoe or sos by swagstr or team nocturnal rom. Let it run for a day or two. Then if you don't like regular kernel, you can try Calne's kernel or chop suey.

Battery problems with HTC
I'm also having charge retention problems with my HTC phone, but I thought it might be partly my own fault for using so much tethering. I tried to drain it all the way to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to have done much. Almost no use of the phone today, and it's already dropped a lot. However, I think the more serious symptom is that it doesn't seem to charge above 80% or 90% even on its happiest days.
As regards the usage meter, that's pretty clearly bogus. Right now it shows that the usage was Cell standby (57%), Phone idle (36%), Android System (5%), and Display (2%). Nothing about the apps I briefly used. There are a couple of apps that will sometimes show up, but usually it's just about like that--and useless.
My carrier has offered to replace the battery, but the charge is about the same as breaking the contract two months early--and that is what I am inclined to do. Nor do I forgive my carrier for having dropped HTC phones. They should have checked more carefully before they sold me this dog in the first place. Everything good I credit to Android, but everything bad is HTC. At least that's how I feel about it.
The phone is not that old, but it has always been problematic and HTC has never been helpful. I would start another 'I hate HTC' thread, but that's apparently against the website's policy. I saw one such thread as I was cruising around, and it had a bunch of posts in the few minutes before it was locked. Anyway, a list of all the problems this phone has given me would not be amusing...
Have you tried setcpu with custom profiles, change kernel(check posts for good ones for your rom), when you flash do u wipe battery stats?

I'm currently using MildWild 4.3 Final and find the battery level decreases on idle far too quick. I've checked using badassbattery app and nothing untoward is shown in there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

firstly, need to know what your actual decrease over a period of time, and whether you have anything syncing. and also what you're expecting or wanting it to be. this can be very subjective. what you're already achieving could be quite good. age of your battery is also important.
- assuming you're using inbuilt kernel, set min cpu to 245 ondemand
- betterbattery stats is another useful app to check partial wakelocks (bad apps keeping phone awake)
- use something like currentwidget to monitor idle battery drain if you want to. with screen off, 3g on, the minimum standby drain you can normally achieve is around 3-5mA drain.
if the above checks out, it's probably not a rom issue, may just need a new battery. switching roms may make a difference, and you can try the above on others to actually measure if there are any, rather than placebo. oxygen is supposed to be of the more efficient variety anyway
I've done all those things and I'm also using a brand new genuine HTC Desire battery. I still find that when I leave my phone alone, no Wireless or data or any app running in the background, the battery goes down by 10% every hour or so.
woah then that's way too much, definitely doesn't look like rom/sofware issue to me, sounds like hardware.
what does idle battery drain report?.
i think there are other apps which will measure the actual battery capacity. if it's official should hopefully be close 90-90% of the stated 1400mAh capacity i believe.
not sure what else to suggest which will actually solve problem this however, other than repair
Use the manu 2.1 axi cfs kernel. Only lose 2% an hour with wi fi set to turn off on screen off!

ManU is not designed for oxygen, also loses camera drivers by doing this. 2% idle drain / hour is not that great either...50 hours standby with screen and wifi off...
@elrasho, you could try flashing a different rom or stock RUU to be absolutely sure. if you've done all the sensible things above like checking bad apps and still getting ~10% drain / hour, you can pretty safely assume it's hardware...

2% an hour is so efficient! You find another ROM/Kernel which can give you the same battery drainage.

stock/inbuilt kernel with ondemand should work just fine. mod 8 is based on slightly older sources. whether smartassV2 is better depends, but i think it has to be actually measured, not 'seems to last longer'
The older kernels tend to be more power efficient ala manu kernels. I've never tried leaving my phone on standby and waiting for it to discharge. I get 14 hours out of my desire a day with mw cm 4.3 with manu 2.1 cfs kernel under moderate to heavy usage

not tried enough, though i trust bortak!
but no rom should give you 10% / hour idle drain...stock rom/RUU with nothing installed is an easy benchmark to test

I flashed Jellybean for my gnex this last weekend, and I've noticed a severely precipitous drop in battery life (15% in 90 min, 15 min screen on). I found this yesterday when my phone went completely dead after just 6 hours on idle, despite running some pretty severe power-saving options. I can literally see the battery draining as I took the screenshots to post.
Running 4.1.1 stock, Franco Kernel Version 5 (power save powermode), 2100 mAh battery - I tried to provide as much information as I can in the screenshots. The weird thing is that none of the information stands out as an obvious power-drain, its just falling for what I believe to be no good reason.
Please help!
First of all: congrats if providing such detailed information about your battery information! (I'm being serious, not sarcastic)
Secondly, have you tried running it with WiFi only to see if there's a difference? Also, you need to go through about 2-3 charge cycles before you have a good idea of our battery range.
Also, what kernel are you using?

CPU Sleep
Thanks! However, I'm already running on only one core, from a setting in Franco's app.
My problem is that there doesn't seem to be anything glaring that is draining my battery. Awake time is slightly more than I'd like, but not nearly enough to drain the battery at 10% an hour with the screen off.
And for the above poster, I have not tried running it with wifi only and no mobile data - wifi at my office is spotty, and I'd like the conditions I am testing it at to try to mirror how I would normally use my phone.

hmmm... did u try replacing the battery?
Battery
No - the battery worked just fine on ICS as of last Friday (28 hours standby charge). I would hope that flashing ROMs/Kernels would not actually damage it.
Thanks for trying to help - I'm really confused since all the ratios look comparable to people who get great battery life, but for some reason, just seem to suck about 5x more battery for me, so its impossible to pinpoint one specific culprit. I thought it was a mis-calibration, but apparently that is just a myth.

Let me start by saying that I am not an expert, but the following tips helped me. I agree with the WiFi and the detail you provided was great. I see that you are running 4G, this will eat up the battery. Your ROM may have a toggle for the 4G (LTE) and 3G (CDMA). If you have WiFi available I would use that. You may want to turn off the NFC (system setting>Wireless & Networks More....) unless you use google wallet or share screen alot. Also, I had horrible results with the Facebook app running in the background, which I have taken off my phone. I set a bookmark in dolphin browser instead of using the app.
If you are not seeing any improvements with in the next few battery cycles you may try wiping the battery stats in Recovery. The first ROM I flashed from stock my battery life was all over the map and wiping battery stats helped. I ran the same Franco Kernel and was getting 2.5 -3 hrs of screen time. Hope this helps.
also, get CpuSpy from the market, and see which speeds your cpu is using (or not using).
Not that this will help software issues but Sprint is giving away a free 2100Mah extended battery with the door. You just have to pay for the shipping. No scam at all, I think they know that they have a glitchy piece of product and need to help calm us down. Just call telesales and tell them you own a Gnex.
CPU Speeds
Almost exclusively at 384 or 729 mHz, capped at 1026.

So that means that the CPU isn't going into deep sleep, which is an issue.
All I can suggest is reflash with a full wipe, and reinstall the apps you can, and slowly weed out any rogue apps that could be causing said issue.

Deep Sleep
Sorry, I meant that when awake, the vast majority of the clock speeds are 384 and 729. I am in deep sleep approximately 75% of the time.
If no solution comes up in this thread, I will try re-flashing to stock JB/stock JB kernel tomorrow night to see if it just needed a few recharge cycles to stabilize, and if not, if wiping/reinstalling helps.

Did u flash francos kernel yet ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes - every process/screen is drawing the typical percentage of power use (~50% screen, 8% Phone Idle, 8% cell standby), but the battery is draining 4x faster than it should. Francos app shows me running at completely standard voltage, and I'm on the powersave mode. I think it must be a battery indicator/stats issue, otherwise the proportions would be all off.

install wakelock detector (free) or/and betterbatterystats (paid.. like 2 bucks). It might not even be a problem with the rom/kernel, but more with wakelocks causing your cpu to run while the screen is off. if the wakelocks are out of control, you'll see battery life disappear fast even if you put down the phone for a few hours. using the aforementioned two programs you can diagnose whats keeping your phone awake, then google the name of the wakelock (or go to the betterbatterystats thread in one of the forums here), and decide to freeze, delete, greenify or do whatever to fix the problem.
keep in mind that betterbatterystats will detect more kinds of wakelocks, but will not be very friendly to people who can't understand whats what. wakelock detector will detect most wakelocks, is very clean, but the one wakelock it doesnt detect may be burning your cpu.
if you want to extend your battery life a bit further, you can use tasker to turn off certain things that use battery like: 4g, wifi, gps, and turn them on when you: need them, have the screen on, open a certain application, at a certain time, etc.

Thank you for responding. I have installed wakelock and will see what the results show later today. If I upload a screen shot of the results on here would you help me review them? I fall into that category of user who probably will not know what's what as I am just diving into the world of kernels. Also I am only getting about 5-6 hours total time, not screen time. I've seen others say they are getting 10-15 hours or more with faux kernel. For now I have actually switched over to ktooneez kernel due to the poor battery life I was getting from faux kernel. It seems a little better so far but still not near what I was expecting from others comments.
Thanks.
