you were talking with screen on... so 2 hours of screen time with 1:50 of phone time is kind of normal.

No I was not talking at all, i made two quick phone calls and that's it, and phone had never showed up using that much battery. Anyway I flashed darkside cache wipe and that seemed to fix it

Hows your reception? I know if i dont turn on airplane mode while at work "Phone" shows up just like yours does. I realized its cause i would constantly go in and out of service and when im out of service it would stay awake and never sleep. Plus at my dads house, HSPA is really weak, so i either must force 2G or 3G in order for my "Phone" to stop chewing up battery.

Don't you WANT a higher "system" usage than anything else? That means apps aren't sucking much battery.
I mean, if everything else is using so little battery (WiFi, screen, apps) what is left for the remaining percentage besides the system?

Not really.
I had this happen yesterday. It wasn't that the others were using so little power. It was that the power used by everything else was dwarfed by the power used by Android System. In just under two hours my phone had dropped to 85%. When I looked I saw that Android System had used 45% of that. The phone was not sleeping even when the screen was off. I could also see that the Stay Awake time of Android system was nearly 100% of the time I had been on battery. Something in the Android System was stuck in a wake lock.
I tried to determine what the process was that was hung up but I was unable to do so.
I rebooted the phone and the wake lock went away.

I'm rooted with jellybam v7.0.0 with bms kernel. I'd call my usage about medium. On my e4gt I could get 20+ hours of battery stock and unrooted. Why is my battery life so poor on the s3? It's actually frustrating. I have it set to underclock at 192-192 when screen is off and it's undervolted -25mA at every clock speed. My brightness is always on like 15% no matter what. I only have my data turned on when I'm using it, that's it. I don't even have any game apps installed. My screen timeout is 30 seconds. Anyone have any ideas here??

Wake locks maybe? Get a battery monitoring app like Better Battery Stats (you can get it for free here on xda)
great movie

Anthrax on clean bean 2.3 with cross breeder. Some Wi-Fi, data always on. Auto brightness.
Updating to 2.7 when it drops since I already have multi window.
Also use Bluetooth to stream audio, and gps&sync on.
Oh. And I'm completely debloated. Makes a sizeable difference.
Used a safe to remove list found some where here.

Deep sleep issues

Sometimes I have noticed my phone does not deep sleep and runs continously at 200Mhz.. This happens randomly and I can't figure out what triggers it. I have checked BBM and there is no partial wakelock reported as well. So this is no app issue. When I go to my battery stats, the Android OS is the one keeping my phone awake for multiple hours on end. I have tried changing roms and kernels and I get the same problem once in a while. Is this a bug with the new 4.3 I update? It's important to note that this will happen randomly.. Some days it's fine other days it will start acting up... The only fix is to reboot.
Any ideas?

I believe that [pmp_hsic_pm0] thing is making his phone to stay awake.

Help me understand the battery graph.

The below screen shot shows approx 8 hours is this 8 hours since phone was removed from charger ? I think so just want to confirm.
Also the gap in network signal. I am assuming this means at some point for a certain amount of time my phone didn't have a signal ? If true this would be most odd as I have a cel fi signal booster in my home.
Thanks.

Yes you are correct the phone was on battery power and the signal was lost in the gap. Was it put in airplane mode. That would disconnect the mobile signal

No wi fi calling always off. Phone was also never put in airplane mode. So basically looks like my radio turns off sometimes.

There is another thread somewhere with people complaining about this happening to them, too. It happens to me, I think its a reporting bug in kitkat, mine shows big gaps too, but never has it not been connected to a tower.

Wifi always-on issue (check battery usage details)

Hi guys.
I noticed in battery details that Wifi looks always-on even if I switch it OFF often for example during last night or yesterday afternoon when I was out for working. As you can see the "scanning always available" is OFF.
Anybody with this problem?

Do you have location services turned on using Wi-Fi?

No, I have "Device only - Use GPS to determine your location"
But from battery chart looks like the wifi is really off ( only 1% of discharge during 7 hours of night sleep). Maybe is only an issue with battery stats indicator.
Might just be a bug. Mine is off and I have anything pertaining to Wi-Fi off that would cause it to sleep or use battery. When I switch back to my Z5P I will check the stats again. Currently it's feel like using my Nexus week lol

Ahahah OK thanks man
There you go gave it a couple hours to see if it is on. Initially it was on then I remembered to turn it off.

As you see in the red circle wifi went off at some point. It would be nice to discover which process is doing that.
Btw it's fun to note (green circle) that wifi seems working even if the phone is off with dead battery.
