Google search question - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Since updating to job I for the life of me cannot figure out how to search on Google search bar and make it a specific time or date like I did in ICS. Anyone know how to do this?

Guess I'll add this also. What would cause my battery to say I've only been on my phone 6 hours even though its been like 9 hours?

Try installing Better Battery Stats off the play store to see what is causing your battery drain. The search problem I have no idea as Im not on stock..

Battery ideas?

So I'm running a 2100 m a h extended life battery and I know I should be getting better life than this. I'm running 4.1 jelly bean on cdma phone, stock kernel. I also have the app killer checked on, and my screen brightness is pretty low. I've been having my wifi at home but still for 4 hours in 40 percent screen time that's really bad numbers. just wondering if anybody has any input

Uninstall your task killer, those do more harm than good. And download BetterBatteryStats to see what is draining your battery.
More likely it's your apps that are causing it to drain very badly. Any shady looking apps I would uninstall. And like above me, do those both as well.

What setting is this? And don't use it.
You may want to use the Better Battery stats application to check for wake locks.
Trying a different kernel may also help. The Faux kernel works well for myself.
Lastly, the standby time doesn't give as much insight into your battery life as well as screen on time does. What kind of screen on time are you getting?
Note: don't use task killers, and don't manually kill applications.

Wow your right. First for some reason I couldn't even click back on x d a developers app kept force closing and after I check that I can finally go back didn't think that would effect so much

Turn off any app killing, as you've done.
In your screenshot, you had a lot of calls, that'll do it too, so battery life can vary.
Here is today's. I don't get it. 2100 math battery low brightness display

Why is task killing worse than good?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I am not sure about the stock app killer but any 3rd party app killer is constantly scanning your phone looking for apps running even if there is none so it's constantly using battery power

Android OS stays awake and kills my battery

So I have unbricked my phone and have flashed cm9 and fullthrottle now I'm on the official ics from att. My phone has been dying quickly. I checked my battery stats and seen android OS in my number 2 spot. Today I unplugged my phone and didn't use it for two hrs and it went down 5% I checked and android os stayed away 1 hr and 53 mins.

You need to install the better battery stats app and see which app is giving you wake locks.

Yep, install better battery stat, it's even free for XDA member, search the app forum.

Also, there's a thread called "known identified battery drainers" in the ATT GS2/I777 forums that has some good, universal stuff on interpreting wakelocks.

any luck solving this?
I tried flashing this from 3 times wiping everything and still get the android os taking most of my battery. I tried better battery stats but can really interpret it. I don't have facebook link or instagram. I'll post pics of better battery stats.

I'd suggest disabling stock apps you don't need, I guess. Most people seem to think the battery life on that ROM is decent.
I always disable the att apps that come with the stock from. I get about 10 hrs on medium use with the extended battery. If this was fixed then I would get way more

same issue
I never even thought to check into that as I have also had bad battery life, but figured it was just the nitro. New to rooting LG's as I had samsungs before. I am having the same exact issue running OH!NO! Full Throttle 7.1 and never realized it.. Is it just settings that are not allowing it to sleep?
I have no clue but there is something that is keeping the phone awake and not letting gp to sleep which is really hurting the battery life

i definitely recommend getting juice defender. it made a HUGE difference in my battery life.
I tried it but it didn't help much just turned off the data. The only thing that really helped was to go into app settings and disable android and it has helped some

I have the same issue. Android OS is (or was) the best battery killer. AT&T support person told me to do factory reset AND DO NOT INSTALL any app that are not preinstalled. I have to install them later one by one to find one incompatible with ICS.
After reset operation (happened 2 hours before) I have now Screen as the best battery killer Battery went from 77% down to 62% with some browsing and preinstalled apps update. It looks promising...

Messaging app eating up battery

Not sure why messaging app is using more battery then everything else when there's so little time used. Using 4.2 keyboard, but don't think that would show up as messaging app.

What's your screen on time? My screen on time was 6h 41m with 25h unplugged and at 10% battery the screen only used 29% of battery usage in the battery stats. The screen is so dang energy efficient in this phone that it won't be abnormal to see apps claim that top usage spot now. If your screen usage is low, that's not that odd for the messaging app. Seems like you still have decent battery life based on your stats.

2hrs 7 minutes. Just find it hard to believe 5-6 minutes of texting = 2hrs of on screen time. actually more so now. At this point I think ill only hit 3 hrs on screen time
Just looked at battery thread and it seems like I'm the only one that even has messaging listed. I'm running all stock, non rooted, 4.2 keyboard and nova launcher. Can't see any of those doing the battery drain, hope I'm not going to have to uninstall the keyboard or do a factory reset.

Space bar is too small for fast typing. Its a small bar right in the center and too small in comparison with the rest of the keyboard. Wow just realized the 4.2 keyboard has swype noticated it on accident.

Does the stock keyboard have auto-correct? I seem to make a lot of mistakes using it that go unedited, but hardly make any with Swiftkey...
Also, I just checked my battery usage and ES File explorer accounted for 19%... is that normal?!

No, doesnt sound normal. Mine doesnt even show up and I have ES installed.
And the keyboard shows you the correct word...but doesn't actually insert it...so I'd say no, it doesn't do autocorrect

Just woke up after a full charge and unplugged 2hrs without any use of anything. Never even opened messaging app. I've also seen MC3 take up battery use age without opening that app. I have yet to see more then 3 1/2 hrs on screen time.

Google services has high battery usage

Lately my phone has been showing google services as second highest battery drain after the screen. What could the likely cause be, or how can I find out?

I'm not running this ROM at the moment, so I could be wrong, but is it not in settings/display/battery notifications? I know that particular ROM is heavily debloated, so it might have been removed.
I've checked everywhere and I guess its been de bloated cause I can't see it anywhere.

Do you have the pop up notifications found in display settings unchecked? I'm running this as well thats the only setting I'm aware of relating to battery notifications. I havent had my battery drain down that low yet to see if it still beeps yet since its only been a couple days.

Haha good one. Just the basic greenify and the use of app quarantine to stop the stuff I don't use. This zerolemon 7000mah battery is just insane. With the stock battery I was charging it every 8 to 10 hours of use.
