Didn't change anything all settings are default with the exception of bluetooth and gps, they're turned off because I don't use them much.

Battery life is beast.

OK I hope someone finds this useful and/or can verify. I was one of those people getting awful battery life, meaning lucky to last 8 hours from 100% to 0%. The "Android OS" process would take hours of CPU time. Now it will take up maybe 30 min over the course of the day. Here is the only thing I did between the time it went from bad to good. I changed the wifi sleep policy. It is by default (for me at least) set to never. I changed it to "when the screen turns off" and left it there for about an hour. Then went in and changed it back to never. From the point of doing this my battery life has been great.
I know it sounds strange but it seems to have worked for me so I thought I would share.
Yeah, battery life is going to depend on services that are running on the background. It'll be different from people to people. You shouldn't exchange your phone because you're not getting the same results as someone else.
I dunno how you guys are getting that battery life. I think there must be something really messed up on my device. Stupid "Android OS"!
Screenshots show at 38% after 6.5 hours off the charger.
I'd post a link to some screenshots if I could. But my Android OS is at 27% and display is at 47%.

And no I'm not talking about Juice Defender. I'm looking for something that'll allow me to see which apps are keeping the phone awake and use the most battery life. Something is making my battery drain and I'm not sure what it is. There are people on here going 18+ hours with 5 hours screen time and still having 10% left. I typically get 2 hours of screen time before I'm dead. Check out my stats from today. I hardly even used the phone at all!
I've set all of the apps I actually use to sync on 1 hour or longer intervals. Nothing is syncing in 5 minute intervals or something.

I'm on AT&T and generally have close to full coverage. I'm never really in an area where I have poor reception. I'm on Wifi a good amount too.
I had the same problem (Android OS using HEAPS of battery)
update to ITL41F (ROM) & XXKK6 (Radio)
makes a world of difference - HEAPS!!
maybe try system panel but I don't think it works on pics yet.

I'm on a witch hunt for a battery drainer right now as well.
Check out this screenshot... as soon as I turn on Wi-Fi, the "Awake" line becomes very active. Been going through the running apps, and killing off apps every 15-30 min to see when it stops.

Hmm. I noticed on yours that the phone is awake even when the screen is off. On mine the phone is only awake when the screen is on.

Watchdog in the market will tell you what app is running in the background. When I push home instead of back when I use Dolphin Browser, watchdog tells me its running in the background.
Try it.

Yeah it's suspiciously busy when the screen is off. I just removed all widgets and uninstalled the Weather Channel app. Things have improved a little.
Dude my battery life is even worse than yours. I am so frustrated too.

Holy cow. I just found out one of my widgets was updating on 5 second intervals. Changed it to 1000 seconds, hopefully that has a decent impact.

Not sure what you people are doing wrong but I get great battery life running codename android 1.3 and Franco's nightly. Keep 3g on most of the time and use 4g and wifi at home. This is from yesterday, wish I could've let it fully drain but I had to go to work and swapped the battery. This to me represents real world use, played around on the internets, texted, and made a few calls while at work and used pulse heavily after I got home. Kept 3g on while I slept (why do people put it in airplane mode or turn data off?)

Stop with these threads!!! And you know what, to add insult to injury... My battery life on the stock ROM destroys what you just posted.

Thanks for the laugh man. I needed it. These threads have gotten so out of hand, it's ridiculous. A Mod should just combine all these redundant battery threads into one giant thread so they can all piss in the wind and see whose goes further.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My phone is very strange about battery life, in fact sometimes it lasts 26/27 hours and sometimes, with the same usage more or less, it lasts 15/16 hours
That's pretty good, I can barely get mine to last overnight with literally NO USE, BUT SERIOUSLY ANOTHER THREAD?
Ripping tale old chap.

Your the one doing it wrong, no one cares for another battery thread.
I would have asked this in the thread, but I'm new so can't make posts there. Anyways, for me it's pretty terrible.
It's been 9 hours and 51 minutes off charge and my batter is at 40%. The screen on time is 34 minutes and set to autobright. Anyone else getting anything this bad?

How long have you been using this ROM for ? It usually takes at LEAST 2-3 days of use before battery stats improve. That goes for every new ROM you install.
The battery in cm10 is great I'm seeing 1% per hour in standby just run a few cycles it will calm

I've been using p12v2 the day it came out, but I've been using the ROM since p5. Should I just run it through a few full cycles then?

I recently had quite good battery life on eprj cmx(10). I got about 3.5h screen-on time, and in total a time of 6.5h. Look at my quote below(yip I just did quote myself).

I did actually use the phone as you can see. This is just very normal usage. Browsing, xda and flipboard mostly. Also running on the oc version and lowest screen brightness(which is still quite bright).

Just got my s3 like a week or so. I made a mistake and not charge it initially (thought it was a myth). I used my battery all the way to 17%. Now my battery only average up to 2 hours screen on. My sister who also got the phone as the same time has about right hour screen on time. Did I screw up or it's just my battery being defective
EDIT: attached is the battery stats

Well, when I'm in door, I use low brightness most of the time. Only when I'm outside I would use auto brightness. Since I'm in wifi zone most of the time, yes I do have wifi on. I mostly use my phone for twitter, web browsing, and youtube, nothing heavy like gaming or benchmark.
Hard to say if its defective but I've definitely seen a lot better battery. It might not hurt to try and get a new one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
you should calibrate your battery a couple times once you get the phone. do it a couple times and it will fix itself. also check all your syncing settings. this phone will deplete a battery in 5-6 hours if fully charged and phone brightness is up all the way while watching videos.
Calibrating batteries is a myth from the days of older battery technology. Draining your battery to 0 on purpose is actually killing your battery faster because you just used up one cycle.

There's a bug on stock that makes cell standby much higher than it really is. So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Also, Google Chrome is a huge battery killer for some reason. Consider switching to a different browser?
Still having the original battery in my vibrant and getting 8-9 hour charges while killing the battery 100% and charging it up once a week does nothing? Same thing for my g2x. I get about 10-11 hours on the thing daily original battery as well. If anything and you're not rooted to delete battery stats, its a good thing to do a couple times. I don't think I have hurt the battery at all, and if anything they still last very long...

How are you all getting so much battery life out of it?
Mine doesn't even last a day, with like 1 hour screen time.
Any tip appreciated, thanks.
Im also losing battery fast...even when im not using it, kept it in deep sleep, it still losing battery about 1% in 5 minute...is any kernel that good with battery life...there is something that eating the power...
me too is losing the battery fast, even after updated to ARHD 17.1 (JB), it sucks a lot where it could drop to 40% within four hours and minimal screen on usage. Really make me wonder if it is hardware problem because have flashed different ROM but still yield the same result.
hit it with a thunder...that should do the trick
I think the best battery life Rom it is venom viperx...after 24 hours with 3 g and data on I have 2%...the screen was on 2h13 m with auto brightness and calls 1h55m...some mails,facebook,xda...I think i'm not gonna try jb...this rom it's perfect and verry customizable:thumbup::beer:

I also had major problems with battery life on my HOX. My solution so far is to dissable synchronization of Google Contacts, This gives me a gain of at least 50% generally.
I've attempted to dissable services one by one, and Contacts appears to be the culprit.
Try this and let us know..
Edit:
Im on stock JB european rom
Been watching a movie on MXplayer and battery is down to 68% from 100%, screen on time is 1 hour 50 minutes. Which suggests that I can watch movies for 4 hours+.
Don't have the screenshots to prove it now that i've started charging my phone.
Oh yeah, matt95 measured it by the screen using 45% out of those hours, which equals 9.3 hours. Doubt that it's right though.
