I've had this phone for 3 weeks now from a vibrant, and so far the battery hasn't balanced itself out. I get maybe a full days use out of it. From what I've read that's pretty good for this phone, but I'd like to be able to get consistent use.
I got a little more curious and decided to install cpu spy and discovered the phone isn't deep sleeping. So my question is, is there an app I should look out for that could possibly be running in the background? I've un installed all bloat that came with the phone, turned off sync, etc.
Any ideas? Or any roms that are touchwiz based that are battery friendly?

What apps do you have installed?
You're still on stock, right?
Heck your running processes to see if anything is running that shouldn't be. Also, there is an app called Watchdog (not the data meter) that can be setup to alert you when an all is using more processes than it should be using.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Yeah fully stock before the ota that was sent out.
I have the same apps I had on my vibrant with an extra game or two.
Mainly gapps, dead trigger, light flow, roku, Nike Running, etc.
I read somewhere that light flow was causing issues when the phone was first released, but so far I haven't seen major drain from that app alone. I turned off accessibility in the respect to light flow just to see if maybe that was the issue a d nothing.
Currently it sits right at 384mz. No idea why.

I forgot about that app. Just installed, I'll try this out and see what I can find.
This app should help you determine what exactly is keeping your device awake and preventing deep sleep.
Not sure what it is as this so the first day I have had this issue but it appears my phone has not gone into deep sleep at all today either. Weird.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Hm, just checked my phone, was interested that maybe the app wasn't reading it correctly.
I remember in the Vibrant, some kernels didn't allow apps to read the correct Deep Sleep stats.
Mine is working fine, 84% on deep sleep.
What ROM are you guys running?
I'm on the latest CM10 nightly and lean kernel. Oh well, time to diagnose.

Is anyone else having terrible battery life with ICS? I'm using Calkulin's ROM with FD26, and my phone is already at 50% after 5 hours of being on. No phone calls, screen was barely on, and no browsing. It would usually be at 85-90% on the UnNamed gingerbread ROM. The battery stats say android OS is using the majority of it, and it's making the phone hot as well. Anyone else have this issue? Is it time to go back to gingerbread?
I am havig the exact same issue, fast drain and Android OS being at the top of the list. I haven't got a reply as of yet in other posts so IDK....
If your phone is getting hot then there's probably an app eating up cpu cycles and keeping the phone from deep sleep.
Use an app like system panel to see what app is misbehaving.
Try a few things.. I fell aslee with..umm... A.very family friendly website on and it stayed on all night. I ended up gaining battery somehow... Not really gaining but it was around 45 when i slept. But my settings are so tweaked...

If you are using Calk's FD26, then it's trying to use 'conservative' cpu governor but it's not supported on Stock ICS. Backup his CPU tweak init.d script and try modified version in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625299
Hopefully, I expect coming FE07 has more CPU governors that will give us more power saving options.

I don't do anything special really. If you are starting from a stock ROM, delete Sprint bloat (I do keep Sprint TV and VVM) and delete Social Hub and the 4 apks tied to it. Replace those with inverted Facebook and Twitter if you use them. Actually use as many inverted apps as possible. Turn off auto brightness and control it by swiping across status bar. The more time on wifi the better obviously. Kobridge and I have discovered that leaving wifi on even when not connected actually helps. Ummm....not many widgets helps. I always have a minimal homescreen. Also dark wallpapers with only a little color is good too. Black ones are best. That's a good start. Let me think if I do anything else but for the most part that's all I do. Watch out for rogue apps running in the background. Oh yeah...delete Maps and only install when you need it. One app running in the background can ruin your whole setup. Monitor that with Better Battery Stats

What's your screen on time.
Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

Do a search on the play store for wakelock apps. This should show you what is keeping your phone from deep sleep. More than likely it's something like social media that wants to be on ALL the time.

Finally Found Battery Drain Fix
Note 2 (i317 unlocked using T-Mobile)
IOAP ROM v3.59
Latest AGNI Kernel (2.7?)
Philz Touch CWM
I switch ROMs between the IOAP and Ditto Note 3 (also w/AGNI) as my dailies. I get great battery life w/Ditto Note 3 ROM. However, on IOAP I was getting about 6-7 hours and draining fast overnight. I checked everything and GSam showed "Android OS" as the main culprit. I changed a setting to Location>Mode>Device Only. It was on "High Accuracy". Once I changed this, battery life was back to the same levels as DN3 ROM.
Battery life was great but all of a sudden now I'm getting horrible battery life, now lasting only 4-5 hours. Based on BetteryBatteryStats, it seems i have a wakelock issue and phone never enters Deep Sleep. I've searched the internet for solutions and have tried several things
- uninstall Google Chrome
- disable autoscroll
- hard reset
- reformat SD card
- get rid of SD card
Im still having poor battery life and even when I turn off WiFi, mobile data, gps etc, phone still never enters Deep Sleep.
Here are some screen shots. Please help!!!
See below
Look at your data usage, good chance that's the originator of the wake lock. I had picasa do that on aosp and tw. It doesn't usually directly show up. But the data usage is how I found it. On tw smdexe can also cause a wake lock with no direct flag

GPS is on. This would be normal. Your phone constantly polls your location unless you turn it off. Having GPS on only worsens that effect but you get better location pings.

I think it's your signal bud. I didn't see anything out of the norm for wakelocks with exception of suspend backoff but that could be anything. I see that your phone has no signal for 99% of your wake time. Since you're saying both your wife's phone and yours are the same I would charge both up, put yours in airplane mode but keep the wifi on and test em. That's the only thing off that I noticed. A few guys have been working hard for battery life on another thread here. I'll link it to ya if you want. That's what I would do anyway, just to rule it out. Your mmc detects are high too and I haven't been able to verify this but I think that has to do with accessing the external SD card.

Looks like you got a wakelock, use better battery stats to see what's causing it. That almost solid blue bar in your 2nd screen shot shows way more awake time than what your screen on time is, awake almost 80% or so of your total uptime

All that maps stuff will kill your battery, especially if you're inside where gps can't lock fast. I use autostarts to force maps to stay off unless I open them. And yes cards in google now do hit battery pretty hard as well.

Yes indeed.
The Google location services is a big user as well, but to turn it off or prevent it's autostart would hinder Google now, at least I would think so.
Good point on the media server. The battery life was better before this update, and I'm sure Google was still hogging battery life. So media server seems to be the problem... Possible.
Could one possible freeze certain apps to eliminate the drain from the media server?

Mediaserver drains battery fiercely due to a bad image file or video file......it keeps trying to read the file. The only fix that I found was to backup your sd card reformat it then add a folder at a time to make sure it doesnt get stuck scanning.

I've found that it is only the network based locating that causes this particular wakelock madness. Turn off network based location and maps behaves fine... Shame really as Google Now is coded to be broken unless Google knows what network your connected to.

Mediaserver drains battery fiercely due to a bad image file or video file......it keeps trying to read the file. The only fix that I found was to backup your sd card reformat it then add a folder at a time to make sure it doesnt get stuck scanning.

I doubt it's any of my files. It never was a problem on LJC. And even now the problem is random. Comes and goes on different boots. I'm thinking maybe Samsung accounts might have to do something with it. A few days ago I noticed it updated a Samsung push service app on its own. In my head that sounds about the same time my problem started.

Ive had the same thing happen twice.....both times after I did that it solved the problem. ....I found the fix in either a gs3 forum here or another note forum where people were having the same issue......just saying wouldnt hurt to try that if its the mediaserver running.....but heres a good read

That's why I use autostarts to disable everything unless I open it manually. Then you don't need to turn off the location services they just don't activate til YOU tell them too. They fully function just like normal only they only function when the app is in the foreground
I like to break stuff!
Sorry of this question seems redundant.
So will doing this hinder Google now or any of its features?

Doing what? Disabling network-based locating, or using autostarts?
Google Now to fully function requires knowledge of what wifi network or cellular network you're connected to to...Shame really, and downright creepy.

I was referring to autostarts but I guess both.
Thanks
