Are you running stock Rom? I suggest using an SBC kernel..
more info needed what programs have you added. something maybe causing a wake lock issue.
rooted my new EVO with unrevoked3,then installed netarchy-toastmod 4.3.1 kernel and my battery lasts all day with moderate usage
I doubt rooting it made your battery worse. there are many rom choices and apps to help you out. With rooting comes tinkering and it looks like its time to tinker. Look into an app called Spare Parts and another one call Autostarts

^^ is your best bet to find out what's eating your battery.

The other issue is your battery stats may be off if you did something odd during rooting. There are several ways to fix that, the generally accepted way is to charge the phone while its on, turn it off completly, then:
1: Unplug phone when light is green
2: Plug in the phone
3: Repeat 10-15 times
I had the same issue, and this is what I did to fix my battery.
1. let the phone die completely, IE when the phone cannot turn on at all anymore.
2.Leave the phone off, let it charge overnight.
3.Verify that the phone is at 100% by going into settings->about phone->status
4.Power the phone off.
5.Boot into recovery
6.Wipe battery stats.
This should fix the issue, if not then consider using a different rom/kernel combo. I myself am personally using CM7 and suffer maybe 40% drain at most with my phone in my pocket with a typical 12 hour shift at work.
**Also, turn 3G off if you aren't using the internet, facebook, or Gmail ect ect. You can still recieve phone calls and text messages using this method. I believe there used to be an option to only have 3G running when the screen is on but i'm not 100% sure if this is still available.**
Yeah like I did that crazy charge thing I read about where you let It die and it helped for a bit and now thing just goes down like 20% after 30mins of just sitting in my pocket

Does anyone else have a problem with the Battery Indicator freezing while charging. It happens every time I plug in. Earlier today I plugged in at 11%, an hour later the battery indicator (both on the lock screen and the settings popup) said 11%. As soon as I unplugged it, it changed to 76%. When I plugged it back in an let it charge again it stuck at 76%.
Anyone else have this issue? Any idea how to fix it?
The only things I changed system wise is: I froze Acer Content Folders, Acer Registration, AUPEO!, clear.fi, and MusicA. And thats it!
mine does the same exact thing and i didnt freeze any apps.

Yeah it's a pain in the butt. I never know if its charged unless I unplug it. And if it isn't I have to plug it back in.

Oh...not that this fixes it but if you want to refresh the battery indicator without unplugging go to settings/about tab/battery use/ and hit the little refresh icon in the corner.

I've found out that I get no deep sleep after a full charge until a reboot. Running Jedi v.6 with faux008 kernel. Its fine without a full charge though. Can anyone else confirm this? I've tested this twice now, overnight charge, unplug cable, reset CPU spy, then turn off screen. I then wait like 30 min and check CPU spy. Doesn't go lower than 384 MHz.

Have you tried using the CPUsleeper apk, check in the apps section or market
I can try that out, thanks.
Just to be sure though, is this normal behavior or is this a bug?

I am running the same ROM but with Faux 009 kernel. I charged overnight to 100% battery and my phone has been off the charger now for almost 5 hours. It has been in deep sleep for 94% of that time or 4hrs 45mins. Currently still have 92% battery. Sleeping like a baby for me.
Also, the CPU Sleeper is already implemented into the ROM. Maybe see what app, if any, is keeping your phone awake. You may also want to give Faux 009 a try, I never tried 008 TBH.

I've read in Faux's thread that CPU sleeper does not play well with his kernel. Can you lower your min to 192? That might help

Make sure that you exactly followed the instruction when you flashed the rom. Always full wipe, wipe everything, Do not restore data, let it sit for 10mins before the first use. My advice is you should re-flash the rom.

When you finish flashing and reboot the phone for the 1st time, just let it sit there for 10mins, NO TOUCHING. After 10mins, you reboot the phone and begin to sign in/set up ur phone.

I'll have to check to see if an app is keeping it awake..thats a definate possibly..What's the best way to see this? It does deep sleep just fine any other time except upon unplugging after a full charge. Also, I did flash per instructions to a T. Twrp, full wipe, ect. Thanks for help guys!

Just out of curiosity, did you run a Jelly Bean ROM before flashing this ROM?
I have the same problem. it needs a reboot after a full charge to be able to go into deep sleep. I'm giong to flash faux v9 to see if it will solve the problem. Plus I might just update to jedi v7 while i'm at it.
I had a similar problem. Here's the solution:

Not to hijack but my phone does same thing. I have stock charger/htc/ even the usb in my car it does it with every one. It can go In to deep sleep - plug it in - unplug it and no more deep sleep until u reboot.
Hmm..well I had a suspect app, but eliminated that as a possility. I do in fact use several different chargers, so I'll have to test using the Samsung one. Several minutes charging test and it still sleeps fine, so I'm not really sure if it needs a certain amount of time charging or the full 100%.
Also I'm coming from stock ICS, rooted to Jedi rom.

Thank you for this info. I just spent some time testing. Indeed it's the charger(cable type didn't seem to matter). I had read somewhere from TDJ that the kernel knows what type of charger is plugged in. Either stock @ 1000ma, USB @ 500 ma or "unknown" @ 450 ma. I'm assuming this is for both data comms and phone protection, but surely this is a bug. The Samsung wall charger must send some type of id code to the phone. Crazy
I'm wondering if this can be fixed in kernel code, or does this effect all devices? Maybe a easier dirty fix with an app that clears charger type status could work. Unplug cable, then wipe status. Obviously this status clears upon a reboot unplugged..that's when I regain deep sleep.
Also, I can get sleep back by just simply plugging in the samsung charger for roughly 5 minutes..I was wrong about needing a full charge. I tested in 5 min intervals..that was enough. Sorry for the long post

I've tested this and found to be true. I use the original charger and work and when charged, it goes into deep sleep. but using the htc charger at home, the phone does not go into deep sleep, which drains my battery really fast. It just needs a reboot.
I hope other devs sees this and can fix it within the roms.

Yeah, same here. I'm on Jedi 7 which uses Faux 009. If I charge to full and just unplug, I never get into deep sleep, just 384 MHz until I do a reboot, at which point everything is fine with the world and the phone sleeps like a baby.
so i've been looking into this deep sleep issue and found this blog. I tried it and it works wonders. I know its for the galaxy note, but its the same idea for us. please read the whole thing including the comments. it might help some of you with deep sleep problems:

Another battery will not help.
Another kernel will not help.
Wiping battery stats does nothing, all stories about "improving battery life" are complete bull**** - it has nothing to do with battery!!
All ICS and ICS-Based ROMs, yes that also means all Jelly Bean ROMs,that are based on ICS, have that ICS bug, which causes battery drain after every charge. You need to restart your phone in order to fix it. Restart after charging and no more massive drain should occur.
If it does, it must be something in your personal settings.

Flash 72 baseband...Baseband 77 has battery drain issues...Also facebook eats some battery in standby...Change the refresh interval to 30 min and see...Also alarm app eats the battery. I know that. Dont set a daily alarm, instead set it just before gng to sleep.
I'm experiencing quite the same problem on my Arc (LT15i) although I don't think it occurs after every charge, and I'm not even sure it does only appear when I charged the phone.
I remarked that the radio is going a bit buggy (switching from Wi-Fi to 2G/3G or constantly reconnecting to the mobile network) and when this appears, I have to reboot the phone or the battery dies in 6 to 8 hours (when the problem don't occurs, it can go on for 36-48h).
Anyone has noticed the same thing or am I experiencing another battery drain problem ?
Not trying to hijack or anything, but as my problem relates to yours, I thought I'll write to this thread.
My LT18i battery drains around 10-20%/hour even when put to airplane mode and rebooting before. I just tested last night and charged the battery full, left the phone to airplane mode and at the morning after 7 hours there was 20% left!!! I even checked from betterbatterystats and the phone had been on deep sleep almost all the time.
Have had this problem for a while, but havent found any solution to it, if anyone can help, PLEASE do!
P.S running on stock GB

There is an app or something, that is using lots of battery. Check sync settings (some apps have it in app settings), turn off WiFi/3G/Bluetooth/GPS, make sure app is working.
And do not use taskkillers.
And if you can, post a screenshot of Battery Usage screen, with the list of apps consuming battery.
I flashed Stock ICS .587 on my arc last night and charged it 'till today in morning so i took my arc restarted it and 'till now worked just fine,my battery is almost dead but i used my phone today at max.I did some callings,played Asphalt 7,used wifi and internet,dolphin browser,installed some basic apps from market,done a cwm bacup,installed some cam mods cyber-shot,tested the camera.but hey even the battery is dieing now it's cool.I had fun with it for today,i hope this battery will last always ss today.
Apps kills the battery,so i deleted FB,i frezzed some apps that i don't use everyday,and i have my brightness on 50%.
I know i didn't help to much but i'm sharing my expirence.
And yeah sry for my english.

Pretty sure, theres no apps running and I have everything turned off, I even took the sim card off for testing purposes.
Betterbatterystats shows 98% deep sleep at my tes period of one night.
Now it gets even weirder...A friend of mine suggested that I try to turn the phone fully off (power totally off).
I charged the battery to 100% last night and pulled the battery, putted it back on and let the phone sit on the table untouched for the night. When I turned it on on the morning battery showed 4% left!!!
So theres a huge drain even when the phones power is turned fully off. I dont know does this indicate a broken battery (battery 2 months old) or something wrong with the hardware ???
Turn phone off. Charge to 100% when 2-5% left
After fullcharge, use ur phone. When it drops to 50% exactly shut it down. Remove battery for a minute. Reinsert battery and dont turn it on.
Charge it again to 100%
Done
This worked for me

Didn't help. Charged full allright, but even on idle, all apps closed and no comms on, I get 12% battery drain
Help. For the past couple weeks, my batterys been complete ****. When I'm using my phone while charging, the battery life is draining. Also charging is super slow. Auto data sync is off, GPS,Bluetooth off, brightness in the middle, light apps. Idk what's wrong. Before, battery would last the whole day, but now id get lucky to even last half the xay. All this started to happen when I installed a 4.2.2 ROM and Odin back to 4.1.1 and restore backup. Idkkk. Oh and I also noticed the battery bar indicator is displaying it wrong. Like its at 49%, but the battery bar is filled 3/4th.

Open a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /data/system and find the file "batterystats.bin"
delete that file. (be sure to change the attributes of the file to read & write - by default it's read only)
The phone will recreate it automatically on next boot.
By doing this the battery bars in the statusbar will reflect the battery condition a lot more accurately.
Also by using the AC wall charger instead of the computer's usb will charge the phone 20% faster.
Good Luck!
Uhhh...I think you answered your own question...problem started when you installed new ROM. Ftlog people just stop rooting your phones and live with factory stock ROM. 99% of all complaints on this forum are due to custom ROMS.

You're funny.
@Chris, from my understanding and personal experience of using custom ROMs the only way that a major problem could occur when moving from custom back to stock (or modified stock) is if either (a) there is an issue with the download itself; or (b) if the person didn't do a wipe (full or dalvik cache) during the install process; or (c) the ROM installed is not built for the person's phone. So don't paint all ROMs with the same brush.
