Battery drains really fast, done a battery calibration but nothing, phone is only a year old ish and when its on charge it sometimes says full when its lower than 100% see picture below.
I had the same problem with charging.I charged it few times when it was turned off and now it is back to normal to 100% fully charged. About the drain issue try different kernel if you are using a custom rom!

Just switched to MildWild CM-2.8 and its charging fine, recommend a different kernel even with this rom ?
I had a mildwild rom for about a month and battery life was great but if it still drains you can try ManU kernel! I didn't try it but people say it's great!

No, not on oxygen derivatives. Uses different camera drivers so that doesn't work, but think other things won't either. Have to stick with the _thalamus kernels, which I believe are pretty good too. Same .35 base?

It could be that theres a bunch of apps running in the background?
Without a process manager I find my battery doesn't last as long.

You are right! My mistake
i use task killer and let apps close when screen is off, dont use any apps though really just facebook really. Using nighty 258 now battery seems better but have to data Wi-Fi is a killer :/ last about 5 hours with wi-fi on, having mobile data on is just as bad.
One shouldn't use a task killer app with Android. It does more bad than good, in terms of battery life.

Ok so I have flashed a few roms and now my battery seems like its on a drain suicide mission. I used the same Rom for a week had great battery life with sinister Rom tried cm7 and flashed back to sinister for example my phone has been off the charger less than 10 minutes and its drained 11 percent already.
What's going on? It was so stable.

at this point we don't know what ROM/kernel zakkkkk is using, so droidzone's may not even be compatible.
calibrating does not increase battery life, just might stop if from shutting down suddenly at a higher than normal percentage.

so what rom/kernel combination are you running at the moment, did this occur after flashing something/installing an app?
in the battery usage, is it shown as awake during this time? i would check using something like betterbatterystats to see if anything is accidentally keeping it awake.
if there is still a problem, make a nandroid and do clean install of your ROM or 2.3.3 RUU without installing anything else, see if the problem still persists. may then be hardware.
(can't remember exactly, but i think the dialer issue could have been a gb sense error, which reported it much higher than it actually was actually using. i remember clicking the dialer battery use and seeing the actual cpu usage and runtime was minimal)
im using droidzones supernova rom and have been using it for about 6 months now. my battery life has been excellent. this problem only occurred today. i installed a few apps/games over the weekend but i dont know which one is causing this. i have also tried uninstalling a few but with no affect. are the any apps in the market that show which apps are draining battery?

sounds like you've partially answered your own question...
if you were having excellent battery life, then suddenly went bad after installing something, then this is the likely cause...

Yeah, but it always depends on how much you use your phone. If you switch off mobile data, wifi, and solely use your phone for calling/texting once or twice a day, you'll get 2-3 days of usage out of it regardless of which ROM you're using.

He asked for SENSE Roms.
I am using RSK Special Edition, it has an excellent battery life (Governor Smartass V2 @ 1152 MHz).
Charged this morning to 100% and now it has 85 %. :good:
WiFi, GPS and BT are turned off.
If you are looking for Sense for the look
I'd suggest MIUI Marange, and search xda for MIUI Sense 4.0 Theme,
It is awesome how I just forget I have an MiUi Rom, mainly because I
Can put a beautiful app drawer and have sense widgets xD
Can Provide screenshot if you want.
RunnyMede aio s/e with kernel Ahmet-exp5_cfs_svs+

there is probably better with other sense, but if u want sense 3.5 this was the best setup for me

Your sense is the best battery saver. Turn off data transfer when you don't need it and all will be good.

Hi, It doesnt matter which Jellybean ROM I install, my battery drain is shocking. Even when i turn off wifi and use mobile data or vice versa i have the same results. I am lucky if I get 8 hours. Overnight I lose 50% in 8 hours. During the day I am lucky to reach 4 pm. Does any one have any ROM that doesnt have this issue? Juice Defender etc do not help this issue
Sounds similar to the issue I'm having - something is keeping the phone from going into Deep Sleep. Download CPU Spy from the Market and check if Deep Sleep is a frequency not being used, it is on mine...I'm currently running Trip's CM10 ROM with NO apps installed and I'm still having the issue so must be something keeping it awake
Try also using 2G only. Your phones 3G reception may be using a lot of power if you are in a low signal area.

In my case that shouldn't be an issue as I'm on WiFi at all times. Sense ROMs have no issues on 3G either so it's either a badly written kernel or the ROM just doesn't like a bad signal area (which my work office is in, hence the WiFi)
Power drain has nothing to do with weather you are using Mobile Data or wifi. Your phone is trying very hard to remain registered in the 3G network hence the drain.

Thanks pal, i am on the same tripndroid rom with the TripNDroid 3.1.10 Kernel. I have tried allsorts. Deep sleep is not being used on mine either. Must be a CM JB bug then at the mo.
My battery usage still says around 50% for screen though. I think infact this was up near 65% on stock 4.0.4.
I'm an TeamNDVRu's cm10 with stock kernel. Mine deep sleeps fine. In 22 hours since last charge, 1 hour talk and 2:45 screen in time. 28% left.
Try using BetterBatteryStats or similar to see what's keeping yours awake

Thank you. Do you have a direct link to the rom? I presume you just flash the rom and the stock kernel will be applied? Thanks for your time

You have to flash the boot.img in the zip file using
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
From your pc.
EDIT do a full wipe first to get rid of any unwanted kernel modules.

Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

haha! and I thought I was the only one... I see people who are getting 15-18 hours on ICJ...

However, on sense roms I get great battery!

I would suggest a faulty battery, I use mine for twit and fb too and a whole load of other stuff but i get a lot more than 3 hours.

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim

I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...
Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..
There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor!
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot
