Does this seem like OK battery life?

I'm running kyanROM with minimal use. Took it off charger at 6 am listen to Bluetooth streaming I'm my car. Driving to school. Out at 12, barely no use at work and its at 53% I have an extended battery. Usually I listen to music all at work and by the time I get home at 11 its under 20%. I've seen people get 2 days out of theirs with over 8 hours of screen time...... something just doesn't seen right with battery life. Any ideas?

Not considering you have minimal screen time. I can force mine to sit idle for days.

And does anyone know why android system is so high? lol I would like to bring it down a notch to get a little longer life for days that I want to use my phone.

That is SUCH a subjective question to ask. There are so many different variables that can effect battery life. What apps you have installed, which ones were running. Seeing as you are not using a stock battery, it makes it a even more difficult question to answer. Personally, I'd be happy with those specs

Yeah I know. I try to kill apps and ram whenever I remember (20 min tops) I'm just saying... when I do use my phone it plummits like a mofo. I just don't think something is right here....

May be you should do Battery Calibration and wipe battery stats at 100% Charge and test again.

It all depends on what is running and what you use, such as taskillers and synced items. But 15h is good battery life. I get about 11 but almost 3 hours of that is screen on time.

Something is definitely hijacking your battery. Or at least those stats make that seem very likely. I would try another ROM and use the stock battery. Some(mostly all) of the cheap extended batteries are only really good for the first couple charges, for some reason they just can't hold one after that. Had a very similar problem on my captivate only to realize the extended battery was the problem. The stock battery on that phone ended up giving me over 4x the life.

Install Juice Defender.. i installed it when i saw my phone couldn't last more then 18h and now( well when i had it) i go push it 2-3 days on my normal use that i was doing.. just by installing Juice Defender.
also when WiFi is not around you should take it off.. and LTE takes a lot of battery life. just saying.
also when you go to bed on travel and don't have a charger.. Put it on FLIGHT MODE you will only lose like 1% of battery after 8 h of sleep

Install "GSam Battery Monitor"
it should help you to find out what process in Android System is draining your battery

Next time when you see a battery draining,check if you got that gsiff_daemon process running in background.
I "fixed" temporaly this draining issue by renaming the gsiff_daemon for gsiff_daemon.bak

Any battery life tricks?

I am currently running Sonic-Free rom. and i like it. but if i have to change it for better battery life let me know. is their a specific setting i should use, kernal with a certain setting in SetCPU, any times would be greatly appriciated. this thing is dying super fast!!! even loses charge while plugged in when screen is on with light tasking.

I am running CM 10 M1 and I easily get 18 hours on 50% battery with moderate use.

Sounds like you have other issues here... How is signal strength?.. What apps are you running? Have you looked at better battery stats or similar app to determine what is your culprit?

Ok i will get rid of it. its worked for me in the past, but that was on the HTC hero, evo, evo shift. i never had this issue on SII.

About JuiceDefender... it really depends on how you use your phone. I love JD since I go long periods of time without using my phone. By using JD I don't have to bother with turning data and wifi on and off manually, and obviously you save a lot of battery when they're off. I also kind of like the night tint that comes with their brightness control.
Obviously, the usefulness of JD is completely dependent on how you use your phone, but I wouldn't just rule it out. I personally have never gotten the kinds of screen time people around here seem to get... I get tops 3 hrs with 10% left with or w/o JD, but I still get over 24 hours easy using JD so I'm happy.

Also not really understanding "kick in period" for battery life, it should be immediately after you flash a rom. These batteries and roms have no set in period or special charge and discharge cycle.
That was way back when nickel batteries where used.

rogue apps, bad service area are 2 big battery eaters. But it really depends on what you do on your phone. If you use your phone like super computer it'll suck, where as if you read a book on your phone with a black background battery with last forever with a crap ton of screen on time.
Or it could be a bad battery or charger or bad micro usb cable.

I downloaded the Ktoonsez kernel today for my new S3(first android phone as well), but 1. It feels so laggy compare to my stock Kernel, and 2. My battery is draining like crazy! I when from like 94% to 88% in about 30 mins, and that was with the phone lock the entire time....
I also downloaded Flaux's Kernel. That one was real smooth, but it was also draining my battery a lot while the phone is also lock.
I'm currently using HighOnAndroid custom ROM and had to go back to the factory stock Kernel. I don't know what I'm doing wrong that I'm getting such horrible battery life using those two ROMs, when people are reporting such great battery life usage :crying:

.The battery needs to build a cache to reference and stabilize to show proper battery stats. Flash a rom and kernel and stick with it a few days. I'm using ktoonsez on aokp right now with excellent results. Even on stock roms I use ktoonsez kernel and get much better battery life via the kernel itself and tweaking the settings.
Also, if your saying the rom wasn't smooth I bet it wasn't the kernels doing, it works awesome for most. Of course there are some phones some things just don't work with and that may be your situation but it'd be rare

Similar problem with Phone Radio battery use 60+%
I think I am having a similar problem as the OP with the caveat that this is a new phone to me so it *seems* so far that the battery life hasn't been great (compared to my Galaxy S3 with extended battery). GSAM has been reporting a phone radio usage as high as 60%! (similar to OP's screen capture of GSAM).
My phone is SOFF and was running the following combination:
- Received phone at .10. I rooted and unlocked the phone. Flashed Joel's GPE Kitkat rom. Realized that the GPS wasn't working (and read that I needed to flash a sense based rom), so flashed to Bonestock 2.0.2
- Under BoneStock, I found that the battery was draining at 5%/hour. No abnormal looking wakelocks according to BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. However, phone radio in GSAM was reading 60+%.
-Reverted to stock recovery, did a HBOOT factory reset and a flash with the .15 RUU. Phone radio in GSAM appears to be "better" at ~13-18%.
What should I really be expecting and should I trust the Phone Radio stat in GSAM?
Thanks!!

You were running an incompatible radio and firmware with that KitKat based ROM.
Had you made any voice calls you would have noticed no in call audio.
When changing software bases, it really is important that you also pay attention to the ROMs firmware and radio requirements and recommendations.
If you don't, then expect sub par performance and reliability.
Flashing the RUU made everything match up and behave normally again.
Hope that helps...
As far as what to expect for readings....those were high for sure, but every users phone and usage is gonna vary, quite a bit.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I had upgraded the firmware to both of the kitkat compatible versions (. 15 and the latest version) prior to flashing kitkat or bonestock.

Oh OK. Thanks for clarifying.
In that case then, it could be that you are in a fringe coverage area.
Maybe the ROM and ril just happen to be jumping towers more then a stock configuration on KitKat.
And on Bone stock, not removing the apps and utilities that trigger the DM service to try and look for updates can put quite a strain on the poor radio.
If you flash it again and he hasn't removed the files, flash my OTA killer zip.
