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

Thanks for replying guys. So wakelocks arent the problem, its the data connection? How can I decrease the AWAKE TIME and get the phone to be able to re-enter deep sleep? How do I fix this data connection issue?
I've tried so many things and this has been incredibly frustrating - thanks for your help in advance and Happy New Year!

If your phone has low or no signal a lot, it'll eat through you're battery.
In your first screen shot... all that red under mobile network signal means NO signal. That's a lot of red.

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.

Battery life improved after keeping GPS off. I appreciate the tip. However, the phone still won't enter Deep Sleep. I am using DS Battery Saver which is supposed to force the OS into Deep Sleep while the screen is off but it's not doing it. See screenshots. Anyone know how I can get the phone to Deep Sleep?

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.

Sometimes, when I go into buildings (like a movie theater or college class room) my phone gets hot and then the battery just drains crazy. I have Sprint Optimizer off and I don't think it is Rom related because it dosen't matter what Rom I use, this happens. My guess would be that it is constantly trying to find a signal or something...if that is the case, what do I do? I shouldn't have to put my phone in airplane mode when I go into a building. Let me know your thoughts or solutions....Thanks!

Do you HAVE signal when this happens? Could it be an app running your CPU and wakelocking you? Is GPS trying to get a fix for something?

You can use CPU Spy to see if your phone is staying awake or sleeping. Also, Better Battery Stats will allow you to check for specific wakelocks.

To the OP, if you use these make sure you un install them when you're done with them. They reduce your battery life because I think they make wakelocks of their own.

For me, battery drain and excessive heat remind me of one thing - heavy data use. This happens to me when my drop box is automatically uploading my gallery, while signal is bad.
If this were happening to me I'd be looking for apps that are auto syncing or auto uploading data and change the settings.

We need more details than "its freezing"
what are you doing when its freezing? How many apps do you have open, what kind of apps? what sorts of switches do you have on ?(wifi, gps, bluetooth,...), etc etc etc
more details
and also your definition of freezing.
If the phone is brand new, and is "freezing" and you have to pull the battery out to fix it and all during non intensive and few things, exchange it - its faulty

From what I've read and heard there are some bugs with the SIII and light flow. I'd recommend uninstalling it, rebooting and seeing if that fixes your problem. I along with other SIII owners had issues with it when I had it so I uninstalled it until the issues are fixed.

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?

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.

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.
My battery life has been significantly less since I have updated to Ma7. Running it stock, deoxded, and rooted. I've included screens shots
Any ideas? I appreciate the help.

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.

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.

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
