No, it's killing your phone!
Have you checked which app is draining your battery?
Have you tried other ROM's?
Factory reset?
Wiped Cache?

I've wiped cache. Done several resets while flashing rom updates. None of my apps are really using battery. I honestly can't find a single app keeping my phone going I'm almost ready to start blaming widget locker. Tonight ill try disabling it.

I would format, and reflash, remove any gaps you might not be using, and not install a single app except for a cpu monitoring app to check on the deep sleep.
Let it sit like that overnight, and in the am check your results. If you see a difference and are getting deep sleep, then its obviously a rogue app thats keeping it awake. After that start adding one app at a time, until you find the "bad app"
I know it takes time and is boring, but thats the beauty of Android and open source...

What kernel are you using?

I'm using Franco's kernel #16.1 right now. My phone has been like this basically since day one but its bothering me lately.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Really can't find out what's doing this. I'm not getting any deep sleep now. I've gotten rid of any app I can think of. Can anyone think of any "bad apps" off the top of their head?

Try downloading watchdog and setting it to aggressive. That might help you find something

how to increase battery life! need help! very desperate! tmobile galaxy s3

so i just flashed this new rom (infamous s3 v2.1) i really love this rom.
but the battery dies real fast..
i never turn on my wifi. i leave the standby thing for wifi on never.
i turn off basically everything except for my data.
i usually watch a lot of korean dramas and browse the web.
i was also wondering if flashing kernels would help increase my battery life and if so, how?
i really need help guys!
thanks for taking the time to look at this

For starters, turn on wifi whenever you can. Networ data uses a lot mire battery than wifi does. Wifi only uses excess battery when its constantly scanning for a connection. turn both off when not needed.
Also, any features you don't constantly use, turn off when not needed. Smart stay, auto brightness, auto sync, etc.

I use the cpu sleeper app which turns off one core when the screens off.

Also Frosty Ics and JB roms get pretty great battery life.

Yeah I don't have any of those on like smart stay or motion and anything else.

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.

I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Well i have have it on my e4gt and it works great but sometimes it force closes
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

What does that app do?

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III

Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

I've the free one. It works out pretty well. Same usage I've got on average two to three extra hours.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.

+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.

i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?

[Q] Major lag spike when playing a game and connected to wi-fi.

So basically I had this issue for awhile now, even on stock ROM and kernel. Now i'm using CM10 nightly with franco kernel. Whenever I play a game offline or out of reach pf Wi-Fi, the game runs perfectly fine. But when connected to Wi-Fi i'm getting huge frame drops (1-5 fps) every like 2-3 min. Maybe it has already been answered, but yes, I did search the forums, I searched pretty much everywhere. Anyone had similar issues?

What about 3g/4g?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I do,and I still did not got a workaround with this...but I don't have this issue only when connected to wifi,just every time i do something(play a game,scrolling,switching homescreens) the only workaround is using faux kernel wich is pretty good(in my case)

Maybe an app like facebook

Yep even with 3G/4G.

Have you tried with a different game?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It does it with mostly 3D games, but it does it as well for a few 2D games like Drag Racing. I noticed that turning off auto-sync got rid of the lag for about 10 minutes. But then the framedrops would happen again.

Seems as though you have something running in the background.
You could try, is catch what is going on via logs (ddms may be helpful here since it has a built in log, but you can get them via adb as well) or adb shell commands, adb shell top for example. Trying and see what is going on when the lag spikes hit.
Alternatively, you can disable/uninstall apps that could possibly be the offenders. Facebook apps, twitter apps, messaging, email...perhaps even widgets. Then try and game until you figure out what the offender was.
This is assuming it is another app at fault.

Alright thanks for the advice! Won't be able to try it right now as I'm going on a vacation but as soon as I can I'll do it and report back.

Inactive user rom

I got this epic as a extra phone and I'm trying to find a inactive ROM so I can use WiFi and use it as a gaming and music device.. thanks

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

What do you mean by "inactive"? Like the phone is no longer being used for calling/texting and is not on a contract of any sort?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

Exactly.. just looking for a ROM to use as a tablet for games n such.. one that takes up little space.. right now I'm on slim ROMs...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

Honestly, that's probably the smallest ROM you'll get, you can remove a lot of stuff from the system like ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

I let the kids play with my spare Epic as a gaming device. Just keep it in airplane mode w/ wifi enabled. Then I hide the phone app in the launcher so they're not opening it by accident.
I doubt any reasonable amount of space would be recovered by removing the phone app altogether.

Random king made a WiFi only version of thunder hawk... I had it somewhere if I find it I'll happily spread the goods.

Dudes ROMs were pretty intense. My one e4g ran beautifully on thunderhawk.
