Battery life after 4.1.2 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I don't know it this is just happening to me but since recent official upgrade to 4.1.2 my battery consumption has gone way up. I went to bed last night with my phone at 100% , I wake up this morning with phone at about 60% the phone wasn't used at all and I will add it was in"power saving mode" . Any help would be great

If you just upgraded then factory wipe might be needed.

In this case, I would highly recommend using Better Battery Stats to help find the culprit.

As the gentleman pointed out use "Better Battery stats" app.

Better Battery Stats is an app. You can find it in the XDA forums and install it. You can also find it on the play store for a small fee which helps support the dev.

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.

Did you flash through CWM or using LG's official tool from a computer?

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...

Does battery calibration make a difference?!

As many of you know there's a battery calibration app to use after flashing roms to wipe battery stats and improve battery. Sometimes I use it sometimes I don't... Just wondering if it actually made a big difference but I can never tell. Just thought I'd ask

The battery stats file is essentially a log of what is using your battery. It has no effect on the performance of your battery.

Root using CF-AutoRoot so you still have stock ROM. Then, after you have SuperSU installed and working you start using root tool apps that let you freeze apps you don't use and let you disable wakelocks on the apps you want to keep. Examples: Greenify, System Tuner, Titanium Backup and there are probably many others too that you can try. You may find that google apps are using up a large portion of your battery charge. My S4 battery performance was really poor before, now it is good.

Battery drainage

Have you checked apps and sync settings for anything waking the device? Sometimes just a reboot can fix it.

Reason I asked is because I have two user accounts and I had the same problem as you on ART.
For me it was Google Search was the culprit in my second account, even when I'm logged in my first and my N7.2 goes to sleep.
First account no problems whatsoever.
So revert to Dalvik. Everything is back to normal now. Besides on ART I lost quite a substantial amount of storage just for that slight increase in speed which I don't find necessary.
Fully charged again. Will switch back to dalvik and see what happens...

Are you on a custom rom or stock rom? If you are on a stock rom make sure you have S Voice disabled as its a major source of lag.
I am having the same issue with both. Even tried full data wipe and restore.
I'm totally stock, no root. Major lag when opening gallery and unlocking phone.

It seems to only affect the gallery and wake screen.
Also, after doing a full wipe, I am now getting lockups while using some apps, YouTube, I funny, and while messaging. The screen will freeze, then after about,, 30 seconds it will reboot.
Again, I'm all stock

You can try flashing, cyanogenmod 10.2 stable d2att on your phone and make sure you wipe your phone clean first before installing. This rom is definitely a battery saver on my phone. No lags whatsoever.
I'm wanting to keep the phone stock. Just curious if there was an app bogging it down or something like that.
