Battery seems to be draining more than it should overnight when it's not plugged in. Wifi is by far the largest battery eater. Any way to deal with it?

Well actually the wifi sleep policy should be never. Wifi uses a lot less battery than 3g does.

Well, according to spare parts not only is it on 100% of the time but it is also running 100%. Been doing it ever since EC05. EB13 I was getting phenominal battery life.

I'm rooted and running Gingersense. I noticed recently my battery wouldn't charge all the way. I cleared the battery cache and powered it down and it finally charged but every so often now it does that where it reaches 76% then stops...

I had a similar issue. Turned out I was using a cord that wasn't letting enough power to the phone.

I had a similar situation where my battery seemed like it wasnt charging. My battery widgets and noti widget were not progressing in percentage. It turned out my charger was going bad.

My battery has some issue while I wipe different ROM
I noticed this issue only when I first flash a new ROM. It goes away, for me, after the first attempt at a full charge and has been charging 100% since.
Cause to me it seems a little too fast. I took this screen shot right after arriving at work a couple days ago. All I did with the phone was unplug from the charger and drive to work.
Then today I unplugged it again and in like 5 minutes of me searching something in Chrome it drained 3 percent.
I'm at 85% right now and it's been just a little over an hour.
Is this normal?

Are you running stock TW ROM? Also use betterbatterystats, cpu spy, and gsam battery monitor. To see if you can track down if there's something keeping your phone awake/running when it shouldn't. Also cpu spy tells you if your phone is actually going to sleep when you turn the screen off or if there's something running

I'm running CM 10.
I have betterbatterystats, but I have no clue how to use it. I'll check the other 2 apps out.
Thanks

Just got a replacement Epic from Sprint about a day ago. Looks new, probably refurbished. They replaced my old one because it started having some problems along with fast battery drain and inconsistent battery level readings on the device.
So I have my new device along with a new battery from sprint, and I thought all would be well but my new epic and new batter is still draining about 10% every 20 minutes with light use (internet browsing over wifi w/ lowest screen brightness setting). Also, when the phone gets to about 30 or so percent battery life it starts lagging and when I pull the battery or reboot it, the batter meter will read real low (like under 10%) once it powers back up.
I am rooted, I installed The Peoples Rom all according to the instructions from qbking77 on youtube just as I had with my last phone without problem.
I have calibrated the battery twice, and wiped the battery stats in recovery.
I was having these same problems with my last epic which is why I had it replaced. Now I have a new one and new battery and the same problems. How can I fix it?
Also not using GPS, Bluetooth, etc
Just wifi and web

Sounds like an application you are installing is the culprit. Search XDA for "better battery stats" and download/install that application. It will tell you what wakelock is your problem.
Wiping battery stats has been stated to do nothing to benefit the phone/battery/user. It's a placebo. (http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer)

GPS and Bluetooth being enabled is fine. They remain inactive until a process calls that action; such as opening Facebook or Maps.
I don't have many applications installed. I installed the battery app just now, so now what do I do with it? How do I use this information?

Play with the settings in the middle and last drop down menus to pick a duration of time and then toggle the top menu to see what's keeping your phone awake. usually "partial wakelocks".
Also, if you have a virgin install, then you can very well have a battery on its' last leg. We have an old phone, so it is very possible you have an old battery. Yes, even from Sprint.
If you don't see any outliers in BetterBatteryStats, then I'd suggest just spending the $12 or $20 on an Epic 4G Touch battery. That one is a 1800mAh battery, compared to our phone's 1500mAh and fits in our phone.
The only thing that seems to stand out is No or unknown connection (something like that) screen (which is always on lowest setting) and wifi (which I'm mostly connected to indoors) the battery that sprint sent me for the replacement is from the GS2 (that 1800mah that u were talking about)

Here's a screenshot of the battery stats I just took. Its been about 20 minutes since I unplugged that phone, when I unplugged it, it was at 98%... I believe it was at 87% in that pic.

Toggle the "other" drop down menu and select "partial wakelock".
Also, check your time without signal in: settings > battery > cell standby menu on your phone. Anything greater than 3% will be a battery drain.

Ok here's screenshots of the things u asked for... all I've done since last post was browse a couple of webpages, and took a long shower lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Things seems normal from the screenshots. Could just be an old or bad battery. You could complain to Sprint about it, 50/50 chance on getting a free replacement.

Ok I'll try that and hope for the best, are u sure there's nothing else i can check? Just to make sure?
Also, even if I get another replacement from Sprint, I may still go to Amazon or ebay... can you recommend any sellers or specific batteries... after market or OEM?

The cell standby percentage is, in fact, greater than 3%
hence battery drain.

I got mine off Amazon. I made sure I got an official Samsung battery (1800mAh). You shouldn't have any issues locating a few on there.

Put your phone in airplane mode for 3-5mins, then take it off. Check and see if battery still drains.

The screenshot you posted showed a cell standby percentage of 7%. I'm not sure what to do to fix it because it hasn't happened to me before.

So I pulled out my old battery last night and put it in the phone, and allowed it to charge overnight. This morning I put my phone through its normal use. I've been on my old battery for a little over 30 minutes and have on dropped about 8% in this time. I still feel like that's a lot, but its better than 10% every 20 minutes on the "new" battery they sent. So I'm guessing this would mean it is the battery that sprint sent that's causing the problem?

This may sound silly, but do you ever turn your screen off, lol.
Just kidding, but that's pretty bad.
Click the screen on and see what your time is. Is that with the Zero Lemon?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Either a CPU max run state...or a serious wake lock...or both..
Zero lemon getting drained like that is a serious problem...
I would suggest a "complete" wipe...and the flashing of a rooted stock rom as a test base...
If the device still exhibits the behavior...then a hardware issue may be at Work here...
If the device gets hot to the touch....then get the device to a stock and clean state...so some unmodified testing can take place...
Let us know...g

Even if you leave your screen on, never turn off zerolemon should still last you much longer than 4 hours of screen time. I have one, I get 3 days usage out of it
