Been having battery issues ever since I flashed a 4.2.2 ROM.. I think its the modem. Being on like over drive, draining my batt.
Or is it 4.2.2? I tried all the 4.2.2 Roms that there is for our phone. And its seems to drain at the same rate every time. I don't know of its just me or can my radio be the cause of it. Or android 4.2.2??

Battery Drain......?! Try Battery Not Holding Any Charge!
I've kind of got a similar problem. Can't quite figure out what is causing it though. Everything was fine until I updated to tha latest nightly last night. It slowly took a nose dive after that. It actually died all the way out on me while sitting plugged in. Now, as I stated in the title, it won't hold any sort of a charge whatsoever. Every once in a while I can get it to boot up but almost instantly it shuts right back own. Can't seem to boot into recovery either, but have gotten it into Download Mode pretty easily. That's where it'll remain on for the longest duration, but still not long enough to be able to reflash anything to it. The battery state check said the battery health was good all the way until it completely died on me the first time. There has been no moisture or other damage done to it in an kind of way either. Any ideas as to what exactly the issue at hand may be?
Sounds like it might be your battery...know anyone with an s3 that you can use there battery for a bit to see if it charges...if so then its your battery if not might be the ROM or phone.

I'm running the most recent PACman ROM, which is 4.2.2 and what I do is set my governor to interactive and my I/O Scheduler to SIO. Running stock kernel at the lowest min and highest max, I can get almost a day and a half out of a charge. My trick is to toggle things when I'm not using them. I mean all the time. Screen brightness never above halfway, no haptic feedback, no live wallpapers, and I'm always clearing my recent apps. I don't know if this'll help you any but that's my battery saving procedure.

I really don't know anyone with an s3. Seems Apple has everyone around here convinced they're better. HA HA! That's a great laugh! Seriously though, there is a used cell phone shop I'll go talk to though. As for my kernel settings go I run interactive, on demand, 648 & 2100, under volt everything 100, and either raise or lower all other settings within one point from the least or maximum it could be. Been running that since I got the phone in September without any problems battery wise whatsoever. I'll start with checking the battery though and see where that journey leads....... Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.

Some times when I reboot my phone my battery drops any where from 10-70% this happens on all rooms and all kernels. Is it just miss reading after reboot and I still have the amount of battery I had before I rebooted? Our does it actually get drained that much?

I don't want some one to say that after rebooting that its showing the actual correct battery % because that's total crap. If I had not restarted my phone it would not have had this battery drop our lost battery fast. My battery always steadily drains. The other thing is it seems like when my battery drops the remaining % of battery drains way slower of a speed. probably cause there is more battery than it is showing I so frustrated its nuts please any one and every one help me out. I need to solve this! Tia!

Maybe an overclocking kernel that you are running cause this. Sometimes this happens to me too, what i do is, i connecte my charger to the phone then reboot. Either it shows a higher % or stay the same.

To me, I think it is a miss read, on my Epic I would get the same results and I would be like what the heck? Lets say I was at 80 then I rebooted and it went down to 15 I rebooted again and it would back up to 70, so I try not to reboot as often cause if it goes down alot after reboot I might be SOL without a cord near by to bring me back up to life.
I also have done all the calibrate stuff on the battery, but every once in a while after a reboot I get the hard drop on %.

I'm definitely going to give this a shot. You both mentioned having a charger near by and it can't hurt. thanks guys!
Your battery stats need to be wiped.
HERE is a post with a easy way to do so. If you read the entire thread I wouldnt do as the OP did and flash EG12 Modem! Most users on EG12 have issues with calls not coming through while screen is off on the device, unless it is plugged into charger. Device does not "sleep" while plugged in therefor calls come through like normal.
Good day everyone, I've been using CM9 for awhile now and its been an awesome ride so far. Everythings been working almost perfectly. Recently, my batteries(stock one) percentage level's been Jumping up and down...a lot. For instance, I woke up to it (while off) having 100% on the indicator, turned it on, and it dropped to 51%, re-booted it to see if that'd help but it dropped again to 12%. This kindof things been happening for awhile and still with Alpha 2. Should I just get a replacement from sprint? Or is there a workaround.
Also, Music's apparently been taking up to as much as 40% of my battery usage even though If don't even have it activated at the moment. I've tried deleting the apk but it appears com.android..., I may just be being a noob, but any help?

Jump" is typical when you don't power off completely and then power back on no work around other than turn it off leave the battery out for like 3 or 4 minutes and power it back up

Have you tried calibrating ur battery? Give that a try and see if that doesn't stop it completely.

Apparently calibrating the battery according to some Android Engineer does nothing. The percentage you have left is directly related to the voltage of the battery. So if you are at 3.95 volts, that roughly corresponds to 50% with a range of 3.7 to 4.2 Volts on the battery. What the OP saw is the bbb...battery boot bug. If you are rebooting and you are lower than 70% do it while plugged into something. If it does happen as Biggie stated, simply remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot. It is a false report to the phone.
This has almost always been a issue for me when I flash anything new. It stays that way for until I deplete the battery, connect and leave connected til 100%, deplete the battery and follow the same process for about 3 full cycles and then all is well! Leaving battery out for a breather sometimes helps but I installed an app that has a widget and it keeps the regulating kinda monitered so I can be a little more at ease. Will post directly after this. But I also noticed that there have been times when the readout was a very low battery red [but I knew couldn't be true] and after I put it in airplane mode and didn't bother it for 5-10 minutes when I looked back again, battery would be yellow almost back to showing good and my battery stats show the levels increased. I think cm9 can't handle too much at one time anyways
Edit: that app I think is called battery info. Its pretty simple =) hope it helps! L8rz
Edit2: that app is listed in market as battery widget not battery info

Hey All,
As per the N00B video, I'll try to keep this short.
So today was my first full day with the SGS3 (ATT). The battery life is ABYSMAL. I had it in airplane mode for about 8 hours (for reasons not important to the thread) and light usage (Facebook/internet) for 20 min. With another hour or so with all radios on and no usage. Add all that up, and I went from 100% to 1%. Unlike most others, my biggest usage was Android System....Not screen. I am un-rooted. I've downloaded no different apps then with my previous Android (OG ATRIX). I had/have Lightflow on both. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I downloaded BetterBattery, and will have it running after I charge up my phone.
And if this is discussed elsewhere, my bad. Maybe point me in the right direction?
Okay, it is my opinion, only having had my 474 for a little over a month that you have a rouge app.... delete lighrflow. After that, see how it goes.
I have been using the stock rom for the entire time (rooted the day i got it) and have tried 2 roms. Ive tried juiced defender and that didn't
really yield great results. I'm not considering using the stock ROM with kootz or whatever it's called kernel. Ive read that that combo
yields better results with regards to battery life.
I'll post in the next few days. Need to run it for thru 3 charges to see results.
Anyone else care to chime in??
I've run Ultimatum 1.3 and Kylan.... admittingly, not long enough to see if battery life improved....

Use BetterBatteryStats and try to track down any wakelocks that are happening

As others mentioned, do the better battery stats and un install light flow. I believe that the developer acknowledged the battery drain for the S III.

Could be the gsiff-daemon bug. Try turning on Power Save and see if it helps. I normally get 15-17 hours per charge. That's with everything synching every 15 minutes, chrome browsing, Facebook checking, game playing, app downloading, and general reading.

I've been using CM10, and very few times has the battery life been that good. I'm not talking about when I'm not using it, I've reduced that a bit, I'm talking about when using the device. Overnight, it only drains like 10% (still more than I'd like but I'm taking measures to make it less), but when I'm actually using the device, it drains really rapidly. Like, I'll lose 10% in 20 minutes just using Facebook, Instagram, Pulse, etc. I've had it on airplane mode overnight one time and it didn't lose a percent, so I don't think I have a bad battery. So I'm thinking it might be the OS, but I don't know, how is everyone else's battery on TouchWiz, and have you used CM10 before and had bad battery?
Heres my stats for today

I've got 2 hr 30 min of screen time at auto brightness
10 min talk time
Around an hourish of listening to music
I keep autosync, bluetooth, and gps off. Nfc and s beam on, im using ktoons kernel and running ktoonservative governor at 1.5 ghz.
This is what I've been usually getting day to day, i cant say how much facebook uses as i dont keep track, and i dont use instagram.
Ive been on task's aokp 4.1.1 and my battery life was about the same, maybe a little better. Overall, ever since i turned off gps and autosync ive been satisfied with my battery (as i dont need either on a daily basis) Hope this helps

Hmmm well like I said, while I could eliminate more background data, I think I'm fine with the data side of things. I also freeze my Google Maps app so it doesn't keep on turning on, but I do keep my GPS on. It just seems like a huge drain when I'm using apps, like I mean some CM10 nightlies seem to drain slower than others, but if you say your battery was about the same between OS's, then I guess it's just me imagining it. I always thought the GSIII would last longer though, on paper it lasts longer than an iPhone, but it sure as hell doesn't do it in real life lol. It's what I switched from and one of the reasons why I picked the GSIII over the iPhone 5, but ugh messing around with the battery is such a pain.
Haha yeah its a pain, but when you get it the way you want it's amazing. Also keep in mind that your signal strength, LTE connections, and how much you use wifi over data will also play a factor

hello:
my evo 4g battery lasts less than one day.
I googled but didn't find any good suggestions.
if I flash a custom rom to remove all bloatware, does it help?
thanks a lot.
I would also like to know this.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
This should be in the Q&A, I Belive but to answer this question, a lot of things affect battery, first a old battery of course won't last you so long. Second are you running a custom Rom? And overclocking it with like CPU tuner or simmliar.
Are you running your brightness high,is your 4g on all the time, are you using music or social media a lot, playing games and so on.
That being said, moat customs roms can improve battery life to a degree, aswell as the kernel you use and what setting you are running it at, for instance I m running my custom Rom with underworld v8 no halvs sbc kernel
And my governer Set with ondemand at 769 max or something like that, I don't run 4g when I have WiFi, and my screen brightness is set low unless I need it brighter I will change it, I also have a lot of tweeks in my build prop, which a lot of other devs do aswell to help with battery life.
There is a nice section in these forums that explain governers you should read it, you will learn a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663809
I get about 2 days with normal use on my setup.
Hope this helps.
Also its always good to wipe battery stats when flashing new roms, also discharge battery fully and then charge it fully.

Custom roms usually have better battery life. On average I get the best life out of the sense 3.5 roms with the aggressive lionfish kernel but the kernel does not support ext4. Sense 3.5 also needs sd-ext partition to run and when changing kernels you must manually mount the data partition before you flash the kernel.

The stock battery doesn't last very long, I'd suggest getting an extended life battery if you plan on keeping your EVO for a while.
I use my evo for music now,I thought I lost it for 2 weeks, this is airplane mode ,running cm9
Underclock, dim brightness, install a lean ROM and take off services you don't need I.g. 4G or 3g.
Other than that. Extended batteries are the way to go.
