I have run Screebl basically since it was in the dev challenge way back when, it's great. I have noticed recently, however, that Screebl is often (if not always) a top my list of programs draining the phone of battery. Screenshot is below. Anyone have any ideas on explaining this?

Notice that your display is not listed. That is usually #1. On some devices screebl seems to get blamed for all battery usage by the phone's screen. What device are you using?

Samsung Epic (see the section this is in ). You are right, Display is indeed no listed. It used to be the largest item listed, so maybe the reporting of the battery usage is skewed and though Screebl is listed as 76% (as of right now!), if the items we can't see like Display and such were included then that 76% would appear more like 10%?
I know it's been long time since this post, but I'm curious what your long-term observations were as far as the effect of Screebl on your battery usage.

With ICS what is everyone using to figure out what apps aren't letting the phone sleep properly?
Spare Parts isn't working.
I've tried uninstalling about everything and I can't get this phone to sleep.
This is exactly the post I wanted to make today, glad I searched this one out.
I have few apps installed, and battery is going well for me. I'm a moderate user. I get about 20hours out of a charge.
I notice that even in airplane mode, my phone wakes up 3 or 4 or 5 times during the night for 5 or 10 minutes at a time it seems. What could this be? It's not data as I'm off wifi and in airplane mode. Any ideas?
Thanks all.
I've also been experiencing fairly high CPU awake times and was curious as to how I could track it down. Haven't found anything much yet in the way of apps, but I've turned off a lot of unnecessary Google syncing and an hourly sync of my Exchange account and it seems things are better now. I'm still getting awake times 1h30 greater than screen on time though.
I am seeing high "Keep Awake" times on Android OS Spare Parts force closes when I try to check Partial Wake usage so not 100% sure what this could be.
Wondering if this is the cause of some lower-end battery life we're seeing. My only thought would be LightFlow that is causing this (maybe to wake up for notifications). I thought I read it somewhere, but not sure if it was debunk'd or not.

My phone seems to be getting pretty awful battery life lately. Over 9 hours (only 1 hour of which was screen on time), it's down to 22% battery. The phone has been sitting (screen off) for a good hour or so and when I picked it up, it's warm as if it's been awake. Android OS is showing a Keep Awake time of over 2 hours - twice the screen on time.
Following the advice here, I dumped my wakelock.csv file (which is actually a tsv but that's another thread).

But frankly I have no idea what I'm looking for or, more importantly, what to do about it. What is "main" and why does it have such an insane active since time [is that a unix timestamp?]? Why do wlan_wake, keyevents, and event1-226 have such high counts? I'm usually pretty good with this kind of stuff, but I'm at a bit of a loss with how to interpret this data :/
I also have the CPU undervolted (Gummy 0.3.0 with imo's kernel) and running at 350mhz most of the time. And frankly, the battery lasts about as long as you would expect if the phone were awake all day at 350mhz.
There's the problem, though. It's running at 350mhz most of the time.
Now, I should clarify this by saying that I just (as in, a few minutes ago) disabled Google Talk, Google+, and the "backup to google's servers" setting and already it seems to have made a huge difference, so I THINK I may have already found the problem. Before doing this, 350mhz far outweighed "Deep sleep."
Thanks to anyone who can help!
So perhaps my post was pre-emptive but disabling those three things seems to have solved this. It's cool to the touch while idling, and more importantly, the battery seems to be doing great now. It was losing about 10% an hour and now it's about 0.5%/hour while sleeping.
Again, I disabled:
-Google Talk
-Google+
-Google backup (In Settings > Backup & Recovery).
I don't know which (if any one thing) did it but it's DEFINITELY better.
I picked up betterbatterstats as my battery life has been crappy over the past few days, I have found the following to be true: I am barely using the phone as I'm at work all day and the battery is draining much faster than before. My screen time is 20 minutes total for the following stats.

I'm not sure if I'm not using BetterBattery correctly but I can't find an option to tell me what offending processes are keeping the phone awake for so long. How do I figure out what is causing this?
Thanks for any help.
Check partial wakelocks in better battery stats.
Turn off your GPS. That is what worked for me. I have 9h 6m 20s on battery and Android OS only has 51m of awake time.
check your apps, if you're not using them, close them. ask yourself, what apps do i have installed that require wakelock permissions. those are the ones who will drive android os through the roof. latitude. maps. email. feeds. even games can trigger sensors and not let go of them properly, leaving your cpu always working. check cpuspy from market.
turn off autosync. you're working right? no point getting distracted over some lame ass post on fb or some worthless spam in your mailbox.
Ok, so now this is weird. I don't have any apps keeping the phone awake for very long, but the wake counts are retarded, take a look at the attachment. The time is very low, but the count is over 2k. The phone is at about a 75% wake time. This really doesn't make any sense.
What to do with a new biiger battery 2900mAh instead of 1500mAh must i recalibrate the baytery syats to get max out of my battery?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
0. photo it from all sides, especially new back cover and post here!
1. first couple of cycles 0-100%
2. use an app from 'mugen power' in store, it supports several different batteries
Are chinese batteries like this one legit?

i haven't tried but heard that it makes right things..
i've seen that photo but would like to see live photos of it, for example what mega-brick the phone gets look like

but what should i do then wipe batterystats in cwm and recalibrate and charge for 0 - 100%
at least you won't do anything harmful wiping stats, so perform it
So a month ago I upgraded my epic 4g touch to stock rooted most current official release, and flashed the newest clock work mod... Not sure what kernel. And anyhow, after flashing it, basically my battery dropped in more than half.. After an hour of it sitting around I drop 30%. I even have greenify keeping my apps hibernated. Since I'm use to the s3, I'm not sure what to do.. Do I just flash a new kernel or what? Yes I did search and got nothing about battery drain after flashing an update.
Try the suggestions here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474084

Those are all common sense and app suggestions... This isn't an issue to be fixed with an app.. It's something going on.. Maybe the kernel

Most likely an app causing wakelocks that isn't allowing your phone to sleep. Look in Settings/About Phone to see what kernel you flashed.
I believe that your power drain issues are related to mine. Sometime in the last two months I found my battery draining about twice as fast. Upon investigation i found that nlpcollector was the culprit (google location services). After turning off google location services I found that my battery life went back to normal. I understand that this isn't an ideal fix, but hopefully it is temporary and google fixes nlpcollector so it isn't doing wakelocks like crazy.
