My battery life is pretty awful. I have tried everything to improve it (different kernels etc) and nothing really has improved it. My phone gets HOT too. Just got better battery stats and discovered this. Anyone got any ideas how to fix? Could this be the problem of my battery problems?
Running latest cm10.1 nightly with kt kernel under bolted - 50mv. Thinking about switching to a touchwiz rom to see if this fixes it but really don't want to.

I would do a clean install again and instaead of undervolting just use koonservitive and over clock a little if you want. thats how i am running right now and i just got 40 hrs of battery life with pretty heave use
Thanks for the advice. I have been dirty flashing cm10.1 nightlies since the beginning of the year... Are you running cm10.1? I greatly prefer it to AOKP so would like to stay on that if I could.

Is this normal? This is this is using flipboard and reading in xda. Screen on full time automatic brightness, gps off, wifi off

Yep. Looks perfectly normal to me. It might help a little more seeing exactly how much screen on time you have but this doesn't seem to be too over the top especially sense it is a touchwiz based ROM. Could you give me more information on whether you are overclocked, screen on time, and what rom/kernel your using? BTW I have been experiencing excellent battery life out of cm10 and aokp jb. Some features don't work but is a non issue to me and know they will be resolved in the future

Anyone else experience this? I've been noticing that my % will drop about every minute when using the stock browser, Chrome or Firefox. The battery also gets super hot when Firefox runs. It almost seems like both cores are online when they don't need to be.
Is there a way to get better cpu utilization and battery life while using a browser?
Edit: I've noticed this drain on stock (rooted) and FreeGS3

Screen is set to auto. Kernel is on demand with a few governor tweaks. It may be that I'm just using the browser alot.
I'll search the FreeGS3 thread and see if anybody has similar issues.

Hi,
I had the SE Arc S for 7 months now, overall a nice device, but what annoys me is the battery. I'm using CM9.1 (dunno if that's important) and at night with WiFi, mobile data, gps and data sync. off (according to batt. drain analyzer) it loses 7% (and some nights even 9%) per hour. I deleted G Maps and Beautiful widgets, but that didn't work. I installed watchdog, but that won't list all running apps (BetterBatteryStats reports A LOT more). Any idea what causes this?
Is Facebook app installed?

Had a similar problem with CM10. Never came up before, don't know why it cropped up now. Once instance, had as much as a 40% battery loss overnight. Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth off, Data off. Nothing discernible to drain the battery. Thought the kernel might be at fault, so switched kernels, yet no resolution to the issue. The battery kept winding down, as if something were sucking its life out. Reflashed the ROM, things went stable for a day or two, but then the problem resurfaced. Switched over to ICS, and the problem has, since, gone. Wouldn't want to point the finger at CM (in fact, there are many users using it without any problems), but would love to have some idea as to what the problem might've been. Was really enjoying Jelly Bean; nice and smooth. Shame this problem had to surface.
I have ICS (android 4.0.4),am considering Pac ROM, to circumvent this problem, will that help, any experience?
oow, confused here, is ICS a rom like CM9.1?
Still, wil ditching CM9.1 in favor of PacROM help you think?
ICS = ice cream sandwich, its android v4.
No idea since ive never used pacman but have you reverted to stock?

Try to reinstall the rom, but first make a backup of your apps using Titanum Backup, or flash another kernel, or change your rom.

try installing wakelock detector i would recommend possibly changing kernel i would ecomend franco's kernel for battery saving or AK SKL243 that sounds like a bad app somewhere
Like kevtrysmoddin stated, try flashing a new kernel but I wouldn't limit it to franco's as a kernels performance varies phone to phone. You mentioned you were running a stock ROM, but which one?

U can do a clean flash of Purity 5.4.1 with SKL 245 or Fancy r24/r21

I'm using latest lean kernel (6.5/3.0.76), BBS can see all wakelocks, I'll post few dumps later on.

I'm not looking for super advanced features. I'm using stock Rom and stock launcher without any mods other then lean kernel.

May also want to take a look at the governor that you are using with your kernel. For me, ondemand gives best performance (battery wise) with lean kernel.
I checked it's interactive/deadline.

I'm on AOSPA 3.16 with franco.Kernal 376 and with average use (gaming, social, a lot of music, etc.) I get roughly 10 hours with stock battery and roughly 14 hours with 1900 mAh battery.
Switch to PA, flash AK kernel, download CPU Master, and set profiles.

Don't listen to anyone telling you to install a custom ROM. Fully charge your phone boot into SAFE MODE and see how long your battery lasts. If it lasts way more, it is a third party app that is draining your battery.

I'm _NOT_ switching away from stock ROM nor launcher, a lot of people out there using this phone all STOCK!
so is there any solution for stock users to do something about it? I actually did rooted my phone and installed leanKernel but that's as far as I'll go w/out changing ROM/launcher.
Hey peeps, currently, I'm running VanirAOSP 06/03/14 (gee build not e975) with the baked in kernel. For me, this is the best combination between battery life, smoothness and customization. I do use the FauxSound app cause stock headphone volume is awful. I used trickster to turn off boost control cause that's annoying. Idle battery life is pretty darn good for a custom ROM (trust me I scanned every single forum for ROMs, tried every one and this is best), only problem is battery life while I'm using it. Just browsing XDA, (the phone is warm now while typing this) instagram or the web in general, the phone gets warm and battery life goes down like 1% every 90 secs. I want to go back to stock 4.1.2 but love Vanir/KitKat especially for the music controls on the Lockscreen. If you've come this far, thank you.
