I was wondering if anybody had some tips to improve battery life. Im running the latest firmware rooted. Did a battery calibration but ive gone through 30% of battery in under 3 hours

Use the latest FW, remove some crap, don't have apps updating on the hour ect.

OK, my wife has had this phone since last September and it has just recently been suffering from some very unusual battery drain. Tonight I placed a fully charged battery in it at 9:30 pm killed all the non essential apps via menu / settings / running services. And by 11:00 it was already at 50%. What could be causing this issue? It is fully stocked and not rooted. Thanks for the help

Possibly a app that u downloaded is waking it up or an update u did recently.

I'm having similar battery drain problems with my SGS2. My phone shuts down, like empty battery power, when I'm online for a few minutes or playing a game when in fact the battery still has more than 50% stored power. This started happening a few weeks ago. I didn't download or update any app before I noticed this "phenomenon".
Anyone has an idea what could be causing this battery drain? How can I resolve this?

Thee have been a few times where my battery drained overnight where it only usually goes down like 5-6%. Both times I run found out there was either a tower down nearby or they were doing work. Check an app like badass battery moniter, it gives you a rundown of apps and modem drain.

Download system panel and see what programs are eating up CPU and using data. Also consider Wi-Fi and data toggles they save a ton of battery and turning off background data. If your still have major drain issues hope got insurance...bring it down and get a new battery.

No matter which ROM i choose wether its 2.3 based or 4.0 based, Calks or Phantom. Even CM9, Team Dirt. I always get crap battery life. ANDROID OS and ANDROID SYSTEM hog the battery!!! Why is this. The only thing that has not changed will i have been flashing all these roms is the Modem. I am currrently running FF18 Modem. Could this be the culprit? Please help guys!
The android os usage in ICS is normal. What do you consider bad battery life?
So many things affect battery life. Low signal will wipe out a battery in no time, synching multiple accounts (email, facebook is notoriously bad...) and software you may have installed. How is the battery drain when the phone is sleeping? Since there really isn't much we can do about battery while you're actually using the phone, the next step is to improve on sleep efficiency and this will help the battery life overall.
Try installing BetterBatteryStats. There is a thread here on XDA you can search for and download and install this app. The best way to use it is to let the phone sleep on battery without using it for a minimum of 2-3 hours, overnight is best. Then view the kernel and partial wakelocks to see if something isn't allowing the phone to sleep properly.
battery battery life?
Couldn't you also use multiple profiles in an OC app to undervolt and underclock the phone when it sleeps? (screen off profile set to 800MHz and screen on 1200MHz) Just a suggestion, hope this helps.
I have to charge my phone twice a day because I am on it all the time. My ave battery life 11hr 47min. Running Badass Battery Monitor.
Turn off auto sync for your Google account on your phone and manually sync it from time to time. Before I did this android was at the top of the list in the battery. Now screen time dominates everything else in usage.

Yes I did this too, it helps a lot
Yes, synching too often is a killer.
Don't forget about the phone radio too: wifi/bluetooth/gps/data/4G all can have a negative impact if left running.
Someone recently posted that at his workplace, he had zero signal and he could barely make it through the day. He discovered turning data off entirely in that scenario saved battery in a huge way.

Bad battery to me is loosing 60% over night. That's running CM9, android is and system were the dominant battery hogs when that happened. Please help. I've downloaded betterbatterystats.apk but I don't know how to use it. Please help.

I guess you should try downloading any battery calibration app from the market and also try battery control.... I hope it would help you..... Or the usual juice defender :thumbup:

I recommend underclock your cpu to 1 ghz
I've been under clocked @ 1.0

I lose 10% an hour (sometimes more) doing absolutely nothing with my phone. I check battery stats and like 98% is screen.
Question: how can that be possible if the screen isn't even on ?
I have tried everything. I'm running CM10 stable (which is supposed to be good for battery life)
10% an hour? This is a joke right? I have like no apps running. I even tried using apps that put the phone into DEEPSLEEP as soon as the phone/screen shuts off -- meaning every app is closed.
Nothing.
Any ideas? please help i love this phone but im going through 2 batteries a day and im not even using the phone that much.
Do calibration for the battery it works for me

So the stock ota 4.3 is awesome for performance and smoothness , but for battery it is absolutely horrible, even with a rooted phone and a 7000 extended battery im only getting about a day and 12 hours with about 8ish hours of screen time, then when i was on 4.1.2 i was getting 2 days 12 hours with 15+ish hours of screen time
Im using the same apps as before , greenify , deep sleep battery , mediaserver killer, and wake lock and everything looks normal like 4.1.2 but draining way way faster
Side note i also turned off all my notifications , turned off vibration, turned all gps, locations, off, brightness all the way down, sync is off that dont seem to help
Anyone else notice this or is just me? Anything i could be missing that i should check

I'm getting the same battery life as I was on 4.1.2 I do not use greenify or any other monitoring apps of any kind as they are monitoring all the time which does take resources aka BATTERY to monitor I'm also on stock kernel and I tried the decimalman kernel and for me that provided a faster performance with conservative governor bit way worse battery life. Maybe your battery is going bad...

exactly, I charge mine like once every 24-30 hours and it's rooted on the stock 4.3 ota...remove all those monitoring apps, they're quite pointless.
I use the following rooted apps: adaway 2.8, titanium pro/donate version, clean master, system cleaner, root browser, cache cleaner ng
I ripped out all the Google stock apps like books, games, news, etc. I freeze Facebook cause that eats a lot of battery and only defrost for certain times...I use the browser for my email, Facebook, Amazon, even here like now lol
maybe you'll wanna try the kitkat 4.4.2 nightly rom? more battery friendly too, I have all files up to date and instructions to install it in my rooting 4.3 stock guide if you wanna check it out...totally safe to use
