I'm experiencing battery drain on all ROMs I try except my backed up 4.1.1 RLS14.1 install. I've odined back to Stock UVDLJA and re rooted and flashed another ROM and the battery drain is still there on all ROMs, Syn energy, RLS15, WICKED v6. Android system seems to be taking up tons of battery in GSam Battery Monitor. There's definitely wake locks on a clean install..what else can I do?
Edit : I have an 8GB SD card and I haven't formatted it since experiencing the problem, should I?

I felt I had the same problem so I completely wiped my phone (cache/dalvik/factory reset/format data) and then reinstalled darthstalker with xone kernel and my battery life went from **** to great. I went from like 1% per minute of screen on to like 3-5.... yeah I had bad battery drain. I don't understand what could've possibly caused it, maybe too much flashing and eventually **** started to bog down underneath it all.

There have been many people with the system causing battery drain, and using Odin to go back to stock usually fixes the issue. I have seen it a couple of times after flashing a new rom, but it has gone away after a couple full charge cycles.

When I flashed roms on my g2x a lot of people always recommended clearing your battery stats. I haven't seen it mentioned. Is that necessary on this phone as well?

When your phone dies and is completely dead your phone creates a new batterystats file anyways. It is good to calibrate but over time your phone is going to get used to the new rom anyways. Wiping batterystats just speeds the process up.

It's been said that resetting your battery after flashing a rom is to improve battery life because all the stats are wiped clean. However...

Yesterday I flashed TW JellyBean 747, ever since my battery has died in about 5 hours, my phone gets hot and the screen guess crazy. Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Did you do a full wipe before flashing? It sounds like you have conflicting software running the processor crazy. In any case i would do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM again, if the problem persists then your phone may not like that particular ROM.

Try downloading romtoolbox lite (link at bottom) from the market and going to the second tab with cpu manager. Having downloaded these roms before some people set the minimum cpu really high to boost the benchmarks of their rom. If its high turn it down. It might help. Don't forget to slap that thanks button

I'm running the stable cm 10.0 build with lean kernel. Brightness at half. From these images I'm barely achieving 9 hours with less than 3 hours of screen on time. I'm confused, I thought this rom/kernel combo was supposed to produce great battery life? Can someone help me. Thanks.

Calibrate battery if that's a new ROM give it a few days. My phone sucks battery no matter what kernel or battery. Just ordered an extended one a few hours ago. Hopefully, by the time i move to the fifth generation galaxy device, this retard battery issue will be solved
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If your are planning to get a battery extension i suggest get the 3000 mAh of samsung this Jan 5th that would increase your battery life up to 49% (i read that here in XDA idk where is it but its true ) and also try TRINITY kernel would be awsome if you done like it you could revert back to lean - its only a suggestion
EDIT:
Is this your 1st battery cycle in this rom? usually that is normal the following charging cycle would be stable from what you expect
Been using this for 2-3 weeks now I was hoping it would improve but I
it hasn't. I'll give trinity kernel a try, thanks.

If you need the extended and a case, look for the seidio active extended. I did about 5 hours of research to ensure i get what fits me best.

Calibrating is useless, its a bunch of snake oil. So don't even bother with that.
Sounds like you need to check for a bad app preventing your phone from sleeping, otherwise flash to stock and re flash.

I went with the qcell extended battery, currently running the Aeonfluxx v6 rom. On heavy use days I usually have 50% battery left. My stock battery didnt last 6 hrs before. The sg3 is my second Samsung phone, and both sucked with battery life.
Try a touchwiz rom bro... might save you some battery. also less widgets, check what apps are running during sleep mode and my favorite

I do not have this issue. Reflash the ROM , make sure you full wipe. If it is still slow at charging try ktoonsez kernel. Every phone is different, maybe yours doesn't like underwear.

I did a full wipe and even tried to flash KT kernel and when I did that I got a failed notification. So it won't let me flash KT kernel. From dead I charged my phone, while off, for seven hours and it only got to 70 percent and it was slow getting to that point. Battery consumption on the other hand has not changed at all.

Try downloading everything again. If you can always check the md5 , sounds like a botched download or a bad flash. Start over from the very beginning.

Got to love cheap Samsung micro USB chargers... Ugh
I had been running aokp task for a while and decided to go back to stock. I flashed stock and did a battery calibration. What I've noticed is that I get excellent battery life from 100 to about 40 percent. But from 40 percent onwards my phone dies very quickly. It starts draining about 20 to 30 percent in an hour. Any ideas why? Wakelocks seem normal too... Any suggestions?

give it sometime and it will be better than ever ...........transition effect from custom roms back to stock usually takes some times for your phone to adjust back to stock mode, there is nothing to worry about all is good just how devices act
