As much as I love my GS3, the battery life is pitiful, lately. Whenever I kill RAM, its always like "50-something applications killed" and I suspect this drains my battery. I go to app manager, and see tons of apps I have to force stop. The phone, while better than the Atrix and Photon I had, should have better battery life. Are there any task killer apps, which work like the Motorola built in one? Those were great. And I want to be connected always to the internet, I barely use wifi anyway except to download/update apps. Thats why I don't do "Juice Defender." Or anyone know if Jelly Bean will improve things?
Android is designed to keep apps stored in memory. killing them constantly is not how it was designed. I consistently got a full day of use out of my SG3 on stock rom with nothing managing the apps or juice defender. I actually got worse performance with JD on this device and my tablet but it did help my captivate.
all that said, I am now running intergalactic and the battery seems very good. Lots of good battery reports there. I do use auto killer memory to tweak the androind memory settings but it is not a task killer. I had over 2 hours of screen time and well over an hour of talk today.

I understand but on Motorola phones, I could set some apps, like games to b killed (after 2 mins), but leave others. That's what I wanna do on my gs3: why do games I haven't played in hours have an option to "force stop?"

If it is doesn't have an option to "force stop", it means it is NOT running, even in background, and has no background process associated with it. It has been prefetched and placed in memory, so it is readily available when you want it.
It takes the same amount of energy to hold something unused in ram as it does to hold nothing.

have you tried a program like Better Battery stats to determine if you have any open wakelocks, etc.? you will find everything that is keeping your phone awake and chewing up your battery.
youmight also want to loook at a program called autostarts which you can prevent apps from opening on their own when certain system actions/conditions occur

For the past week or so I've been trying to nail down my battery drain issue on my epic (fully charged I get 5 hours with light use)
I downloaded advanced task killer free to monitor apps that re running and here's the thing: there are always 10-20 apps running in the background, apps that I didn't open. And when I kill all, they're all back within minutes, some right away. Is this normal or is it the problem? How to fix??
Thanks
There are many apps that run in the background as well as android system services. And yes, many of these will persist in restarting immediately after being killed.
That being said, most are harmless, necessary, and make negligible impact on battery life. What you should do is check out your settings>applications>manage applications and click the running tab. Any app that you recognize that you feel certain shouldn't be there, you may want to consider removing.
As for tips, first and foremost, deactivate Latitude if you've activated it (i.e. sign out). And disable any gps or wifi location services, both huge battery killers when in unnecessary use. Secondly, nearly all widgets will invoke a persistent service that will also drain battery. The only widgets I use are the ATK little android guy and Power Control.
I can go on SyndicateFrozen for 24 hours with medium use, and at least 48 hours with text/phone use only... You know, using it like a phone instead of a laptop .

I'm using 1.1.0 without journaling, instead manually enabling journaling by Nandroid backing up and restoring through CWM.
Advanced Task Killer is my personal favorite, I do not use it on auto kill, instead just tapping my little green android widget every time right before I lock my phone.
Edit: I might add, I'm using VisionKernel, but that I have seen no increase or decrease in my battery life since changing. I do not use SetCpu and instead prefer to let the rom and kernel run under their own defaults.

That's all under ideal conditions anyway, for a little more reference, I lose about 1% per hour on average when not touching my phone a.k.a. standby.
This is my first post here!
So it looks like I may be having a problem with CPU usage and battery drain. My Incredible 2 was fine until this morning when a market update kicked in and started running the whole phone slow, and ate the battery life to 50% within a matter of 2 hours.
I'm not sure where to start with this phone - because I haven't found an app which can give me the list of running processes which are taking the most CPU resources so I can figure out what to kill (or what to remove). Can anyone recommend some tools?
settings>applications>running services. Elixir is a good app also to show you running services. You don't want to be killing apps a lot or often though, just battery draining or memory hogging ones.
Just an fyi...the recent Pandora update to version 1.5.9 to a performance hit on both of my DInc2's. Since uninstalling, performance is back to normal.
Ok - that's good info. The thing is, I never opened Pandora or played it, but I did have a widget on one of my panels (it was never active, either). I uninstalled it, but I can't tell if I'm back to normal yet . . .
By far the best app for this is called watchdog. Amazon had it as its free app of the day a few days ago. all it does is notify you wwhen an app is using more CPU % than it should. It's not a task killer. There's a lite version as well as a full one. I highly suggest it.
And by the way, welcome to XDA!

It looks like the process for HTC Mail is causing CPU drainage (I think it was com.htc.mail or something - I can't get it to reappear). I Force Stopped this process and amazingly, everything starts running smoother - panes switch like silk, scrolling is smooth, etc. This also appears to be what was draining the battery, as it quickly rose to the highest percentage of what was eating it.
The process gets restarted at some point because I've had to Force Stop it a few times already but at least it stays off for quite some time. So far, it's been about half a day since I had to kill it last.
The funny thing is - I can force stop it and still use all my HTC mail functions properly and they run quicker than ever.
Hi All,
I would like to invite your suggestions on best battery saving apps that you are using and how much difference does it make. Is it worth paying for apps juice defender ultimate or so http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/battery_full.png
I am on stock (rooted) 4.2.1 and stock rom.
Thanks!
Best battery saver is your self. These apps don't work any better than you doing the things it does manually. If its using resources which they all do to "save" you battery... Its not really saving you battery.. But in fact using it.
Some tips I suggest:
Turn sync off in everything. Go to data usage hit the menu button and uncheck auto sync data. Also you will want to open apps that have notifications and make sure they aren't syncing either.
Remove maps if you don't use it or disable it at the very least this will keep it from polling your location and wake locking the device.
Keep your running apps to a minimum and force stop any unnecessary apps.
Turn off Google backup services. Sometimes this will be pulling and pushing data wake locking the device and using battery. I've never found it necessary especially since I use TiBu anyways for my apps to restore. It never saves my WiFi password either.

This isn't particularly good advice in my opinion. Are there apps that do use battery power when you don't force close them? Yes, sure, but many don't. And those which do without a good reason.. try to find a replacement.
Force closing apps all the time especially on a device with lots of ram will mean that your device has to restart the app completely if you open it again, which takes time and energy.
edit:
Also, turning off sync doesn't really help that much if you still use your apps often but instead refresh manually with the screen on, I'd expect. Of course everyone can decide for themselves, but one of the reasons I own a smartphone is because it can notify of an incoming email or something without me having to go to gmail.com manually. It all very much depends on what you want from your phone and how much you are willing to compromise. Using an App like Lux for example could also save you some battery depending on how bright you need your screen to be etc. There are so many variables to this.
Best battery saver is to not run crappy battery hogging apps like juice defender.
Turn on auto brightness, check your apps and make sure you are not syncing very often unless you need it. For most apps you can turn off auto sync and probably sync manually. I just turn on auto sync for handful of important apps which I open regularly.

I get two and a half days from my Nexus 4 battery, I can thank Juice Defender Ultimate for a large part of that.
I could do all the tricks that Juice Defender does manually, but it would be a PITA and I'm sure I'd forget some of those tricks.
Better to pay a few quid, take a little time to set up Juice Defender, then sit back and enjoy your doubled battery life.
the best part of Juice Defender was turning off Wifi when not at home.. if you like this feature, search the playstore for 'Y5 Battery Saver'. It does the same thing, is simple and free..
Note: dont backup and restore it in titanium though. If you rebuild, install from the playstore. I have found it doesn't work right if restored
IMO if all you want is bt/wifi to toggle when you aren't home spend $5 on a few nfc stickers and stick one by your front door. You could also go with tasker.
As for battery life, francos kernel is giving me 2 days of battery (far more than I need) with wifi/bt on, whatever apps need to sync do so and I have brightness set to auto.
I found juice defender good for phones that are bloated with crapware and not rooted. It hurt battery life when i used it for phones with custom roms and kernels.

After I turned 'Google location' and NFC off, this thing can easily last the day with average use. Before that it was just draining like crazy.

I've had juice defender ultimate since my Nexus S days. I wouldn't be without it as I can't get my battery to last a full day without it. When it's fully configured correctly, it works fantastic. I especially like that I can configure wifi to turn on and off automatically in areas where I have a saved wifi. I can decide the interval I choose for syncing data, and there are many other features. I'm not going to be manually turning on and off functions all the time, all that does is create more screen on time and is a waste of my time.
Bottom line, for me juice defender ultimate works because I spent time configuring it properly for my usage.

1.5 hrs screen on, 1.5hrs on call...I got close to 6hrs screen on when I did a drain test.
And no, I wasn't getting 2 days out of the phone stock with the same usage, it was more like 12-18hrs.
I tried using Juice Defender on a different phone and all it did was make the phone buggy with problems with wifi connectivity and other minor irritations and I could never configure it in such a way that didn't give me problems.
Are you having trouble making it through the day on one charge? I don't think I could use my N4 that much if I tried, I sat in a doctor's office the other day for 2.5 hours listening to Pandora on a bluetooth headset while reading a book with the screen on and still made it until I turned in for the night. Perhaps it is the Trinity kernel or custom ROM I am running, I never ran my phone stock so I don't have anything to compare with. I guess some of you want to go longer than 24 hours but it would be a really bizarre situation for me to need to do that.
So I tried juice defender ultimate and it did significantly increased my battery life. I am now getting about 30 hours or more with my regular usage. Even right now I have 63% remaining battery with 1 hour screen time and 17 hours total run time, see screenshot for usage.

I know this horse has been beat to death, I'm just hoping I can get maybe one bit of info that will help me resolve this issue before I just swap out to another phone. I really don't want to, but I'm just so sick of being chained to a charging cord all day. My phone should be able to hold a charge for at least 1 day, I don't even use it that much!
So with my little tirade out of the way, let me give you the facts I've got a Samsung Galaxy S II/SPH-D710, and the battery just drains down so fast, and the phone's barely 6 months old. I've downloaded numerous process monitoring apps, designed to see what's going on, and they all point at WiFi being the culprit. The phone never hits deep sleep because the wireless is keeping it awake. Sure enough if I turn WiFi off and I go 3G/4G all day my battery is fine. Problem is I can't get to that next level and find out what program or process is causing the WiFi to be on all the time. Even more frustrating, every time there's an upgrade like FI27 or FL24 which I'm on now, the battery works fine for a day or two. Then something kicks in and destroys the battery. My thought is it's got to be an app, I just don't know which one.
So before I kick this piece of **** out the window, I was hoping someone could please help me figure out what app/process is the cause of my battery drain.
Get DS Battery Saver. It will force all of your stuff off when you turn off the screen so that it will go into deep sleep.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Get a new battery?
Apps, batteries, ics vodoo it's a host of things that can solve your battery drain issue. Being that your phone is 6 months old I have to rule out the battery. The fact that your on ics is going to be main culprit, stock ics was not the best at managing battery use. There's something revving the crap out of your Wi-Fi, while Wi-Fi is on even while your screen is off there are processes going on in the background that are using Wi-Fi to send receive, update, sync, you name it and all you need to do is pinpoint these processes.
Some apps in the play store can help, but some of these apps can consume battery also, so it's best to delete it after troubleshooting.
If your phone is working properly and your not a social media junkie while it sleeps it should not be using any battery at all, just enough to keep your processor awake.
I keep notifications are sync off on my phone, while I'm out and about I'll check email or do a quick sync if I want to check for some incoming whatever. Most of the time I want info on my terms, not every minute with chimes beeps or lights flashing.
If you use google maps disable background location reporting, location services just use "location and search " disable Wi-Fi and GPS usage for location services.
This is a start, but I recommend Jb ga10 stock/rooted to give your phone a stable os.
I run stock/rooted Jb de-bloated with minimal apps, no games (all the games I like are on my Galaxy Tab 10.1) I use my phone for calls........... navigation and media player while driving. I get 16 to 20 hrs on a charge.

I get about 20 hours on the Vanilla RootBox JB ROM. YMMV. I also had terrible battery life on the stock ROM and every other one I tried. This is the first ROM that's bested 10 hours. Again, YMMV.
what rom are you on? tw? cm?
Have you used Better Battery Stats? Or the JB release candidate GB08?
Not to raise the dead, I've just been busy, but this is still an issue for me. I upgraded to JB GB27, and I love the GUI, it’s such a step up from ICS. But I’m still getting **** for battery life. Yes if I use DS Battery Saver it works and I get good battery life. However all those programs cause flaky restart issues. The phone will just restart for no reason. More importantly it’s not getting at the root of the problem.
IRL I’m a computer tech and I can’t just let this go, as previously stated I’m tired of being shackled to the phone charger. I’ve swapped in a new battery, it’s not the battery. I even turned on the setting “Keep WiFi On > Only when plugged in”. That did improve the battery a little, but I still can’t make it through the day without being charged. I’m on the phone maybe combined 30min of phone calls, 30 min checking email, and an hour or so of miscellaneous watching video etc. I know heavy users that are on their phones all day, or let their kids watch Disney movies all night. I’m not that guy, I’ve had numerous cell phones and never have I had one that couldn’t hold a charge all day.
I will be diligent in monitoring this thread, please give me your troubleshooting tips and I’ll report back with the results.

Ive noticed no better or worse battery between being rooted/custom rom and stock not rooted. However my phone gets about 16 hours on average. My friend has an epic as well and gets only 10 hours. I feel as though it depends on the user and apps. Facebook is a silent killer. As is any app that uses backround. Best setup ive had so far is billgeryans Quattro Rom with ds and greenify. I pulled a whopping 25 hour minimal use before charge and 13 hour heavy use day.....

1) get a second battery and charger.
2) betterbatterystats to identify "bad" apps and either get rid of them or deal with them.
3) "autostarts" app to stop crap from auto starting on boot that you don't need running as a service.
4) dim screen! huge huge savings. keep it dim enough to use the phone.
Battery issues well I have a solution that won't solve but greatly helps. It's called greenify. It puts all running apps in hibernate mode. It's not like a task killer that just screws things up. U can choose what u want to hibernate and all that jazzy stuff. It's worth a shot. All in all if you want a bada$$ battery efficient rom go with wcx stock rooted rom. It's simply amazing. Hope I was at help

Check out greenify if you're rooted. It removes all currently unused apps and processes from memory, essentially putting them into deep sleep. That combined with ds battery saver and watching your wake locks will drastically improve battery life:beer:

Is anyone using JD with CM10.1? Is there any reason to use it anymore being that it hasn't been updated in ages? I've been using it, but I don't know if it really makes a difference, and BBS shows that it causes wakelocks throughout the night. I don't know if the wakelocks cause more drain than JD saves.

Only used Juice defender when I first rooted this baby. JD drains more then helps. I've tested. You could test it on your device as well..
Ok. I'm going to be reflashing everything tonight, so we'll see how it works without it for a little.
Let me know as well. I just flashed PACman and use juicedefender.
JD was awesome with older phones...
Now it just drains more than it should help. Just like task managers and battery calibration apps, its useless.
Android now takes care of everything I haven't had to use JD in any phones after my old Captivate. And that's old
Get rid of it, flash a kernel, tweak it out and you'll get 5x as much juice then what JD would of done

Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground. Like what iOS apps act!
App Analyzer will analyze and show apps in your device that keep running persistent services and those launch itself automatically on a regular basis (when network connectivity changes, or every time you unlock your device, install / uninstall / update your apps, etc).
