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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...
Hi I have note 2 which is fantastic and I am very pleased with it. So far I was getting perfect battery life but lately it doesn't last that long so I installed BBS and this audioOut wakelock is preventing my phone from sleeping. Is there a chance to find which program is keeping this wakelock? I searched the web and there is Nino help. It is almost always on silent and I am not using it to listen to the music. Thanks

I've seen all kinds of "fixes" here - e.g. switch ringtones and reboot, turn off all system sounds, use Task Manager to turn off everything and many more.
Not one has worked for me on any ROM with any kernel, which makes me suspect that it's a rogue app. It never takes me a long time to realise that I cannot be bothered trying to track down the responsible app, so I live with it. YMMV. Viber has been mentioned frequently (never had it myself).
Sounds very similar to the Media drain problem. Similar alleged reasons, similar useless solutions, even poor Viber is also wrongfully scapegoated. What kills me is once the problem start it remains no matter what the heck you do, even if you wipe, root, change roms, format, remove/change sd card, etc... Nothing short of a hammer will solve the ****ing problem.
Download advanced task killer and set it to kill all apps at screen off. Also configure greenify to greenify all apps.

I'm wondering if any body is experiencing a notification issue/bug like me. I never receive the push notifications like I'm supposed to. I've noticed this happening with instagram, snap chat, twitter, and Facebook so far.
My brother, who has the same phone, receives notifications from instagram immediately. We're on the same wifi too.
I have no idea what's interfering with my notifications.
Can someone please help?
I've even tried flashing a custom rom and kernel. I think it's one of the things I've restored from titanium backup.
Should I try wiping data? Will it mess with my roms, or just all of the data I have on it (like apps and accounts)?

i could narrow the issue down to titanium backup.
wiping the data of the app (via settings not titanium) is enough to get the notifications back. but restoring the data again with tb leads to some weird inconsistent effects.

Try reseting app preferences,
Settings/ application manager/choose all /hit menu/reset app preferences.
After you apply titanium backup update... everything is haywire. Usually that fixes alot.. normally youll receive a notif in from RED from titanium backup saying phone reboot recommended.

Rooting simply allows you to gain super user and control every single aspect of your phone. You can disable battery hogging services to removing preinstalled apps to customizing everything about your phone. Think of your phone as a demo app and root is the premium key that unlocks all the features of the full retail version. ^.^

This.
You can also uninstall SuperUser really easily (there is literally a button in the app settings to do just that). That will unroot your phone and let you get OTA's again in seconds. Then just just have to re-root when you're done the OTA.
This, of course, is if you JUST have the SuperUser app installed as part of your root package. If you have a custom recovery installed that's a different story. You'd have to remove that too.
But if you just root with a method like Chainfire's Auto Root, you will have the stock rom, stock recovery, and can easily ditch the SUperuser app so you can get an OTA whenever it comes out. Since they dont' come out super often, it's not in the way at all. It's not like you'd have to do that every week.
Just some suggestions! Hope they are useful.

Whatever happened around here? I would have thought someone would have informed the OP that those apps are not "running". Yes they are taking up RAM but this isn't Windows either. The way m we memory is handled is vastly different and in some ways, opposite of conventional Windows thinking. They are not using power either.
I never freeze an app or force kill it unless it causes an issue. If I don't use it - root, uninstall, be happy. I only say all of that so the OP didn't pickup the bad habit of killing apps to regain RAM. Its unnecessary to say the least.

Another thing is that some apps will, by default, execute when opening certain web based applications (FF, Chrome, Internet). Same goes when enabling Wifi.
It does get tedious disabling them all the time if you're someone who wishes to have your device quiet and clean.
I just decided to uninstall them all via Titanium backup...Most of them you can download via Play if you ever wanted them back.
