[Q] Sudden Battery Drop

My Galaxy S III had a really big battery drop. Why is Gallery, Chrome, and Polaris Viewer taking up a combined 10-20% of the battery? How do I fix it?
Thanks!
P.S. I am completely stock and unrooted.

Do you leave them on (don't close them after use)?
Try closing them in running apps if you already exit them properly.

I always close all the apps I've finished using it (by holding down the home button), and it seems now that those three are always open.

Like I mentioned, go in settings -> manage application -> running applications and manually stop them.
If they restart on their own, then something is triggering them (most likely a app or setting).
I went into the Settings, and Android is showing that while they are using up battery, they are not running. And also, over the past hour, Android OS is using up 18% and Android system is using up 16%. Aren't they supposed to use up like 4% each?

Simply being connected to Google Now can be a big battery drain. Definatly something to look into.
Do you have auto sync on? the more things you sync, the more battery drain you get.
OK. And the only app I have enabled to sync is the email client, which only syncs once an hour.

Reccomendations for a good battery saving app

I have noticed there are so many battery saving apps on the Playstore but do you have any reccomendations for a good one
Sent from my GT-N7105T using xda premium
Just install greenify. I have tried plenty before I had Note II, they've had little effect and I often had issues with many of them. If needed use power saving mode + greenify. Why, are you getting crappy battery life?
If your rooted install Redpill Kernel no need of any apps ,
Again for Greenify you need root but this is also suggested app ,
If your not rooted , You could try Juice Defender Ultimate from Playstore.
I'm not actually the battery life on the Note II is very good probably one of the best out there on a mobile phone, was just enquiring

Yes just use greenify and maybe fast dormancy toggle for disable it. It was the 2 best thing for a rooted device i done.

All these apps are a bit useless to be honest. The most important thing is just to set your brightness manually, enable/disable all the functionalities like GPS/W-FI/BlueTooth etc only when needed. Also setting your mail-account to sync once in the 2/3 hours, instead of 15 minutes helps alot also. If you are rooted, you could also remove some Samsung/Android Apps that basically do nothing apart from using battery.
A app to close the processes of application will help also. But if you want to try a battery-save app. JuiceDefender Ultimite for Rooted Users, GreenPower Premium for non-rooters.
Greenify.
You won't need anything else.

What does juice defender except turning off the data when screen is off ? If it's only that you can also do it manually.
Greenify is useful for lot of user and app which use data or process even if you disable synchro like facebook.

i installed greenify the other day and hibernate fb. but it was draining my battery when the phone was supposed to be sleeping. i then removed it and its back to normal.

I was so lazy to say this. Good thing. Thanks!
Well another point of these Battery-Saving apps. They could make your phone unstable. You can set manually the sync times for Facebook, E-mail , Weather Apps etc. Greenify works pretty good. It is basically a program to put the processes on the background on hold. When you use that application , it restores fast the proces (where it was). Handy for FB etc yes. Although sometimes you can see a small delay (hick-up) when you open a app that was Greenified.

If i have 2g on, i barely lose battery when the phone is in deep sleep. when i leave the phone at nite and wake up in the morning i lose like 1% or 2% max. but with greenify every time i was leaving the phone in deep sleep, i was losing like 2% per hour.
i will try uninstall greenify
Ok looks like Greenify will only work with rooted phones so looks like I cannot use it

Boot into safe mode and see if it still does it. If that's not the case, then it is a rogue app you installed.

betterbatterystats, find the thread on xda here. its used to see what is going on on your phone. amazing app!
greenify, another thread on xda. this is used to hibernate apps when youre not using them and whenever you open them, they work fine! prevents wakelocks and such
wakelock detector is good but if you can read betterbattery stats there is no use for it in my opinion
let us know what you find!
May be power button problem also have chance. Did you flashed any other ROM for test.. Better flash stock rom and then you can find root cause

I can report that this was happening to me too and it went away on it's own. I had a usb port problem and after my usb port was replaced by Samsung it was still doing the same thing.
So I never knew what was happening

It happened to me a few weeks ago and I fixed it!
The problem is with the usb connector and not related to the phone software.
You need to take a close look at the usb connector. Take a a small pin or needle and try to push or bend the usb to the orginal position.
TAKE GOOD CARE and do it on your own risk!!!
Yet, it did work for me
I had this problem and I was on stock 4.2.2. It ended up being either my stock calendar widget or pic speed wallpaper. It went away once I uninstalled both these applications.

Well I don't know what was happening but my phone come back "aparently" to normally, I'll test all the day until my battery dies or almost it's at 10% of charge to see what happen. I didn't touch nothing just install Better Battery Stats, this is really, really rare. I'm using ParanoidAndroid 3+, anyway thanks to every who give me a hand here

[Q] Battery Saving apps stop working

Hey everyone! Over the last weeks I have been trying out several battery-saving applications on my Huawei P6:
- Juice Defender (Ultime)
- GreenPower
- Deep Sleep Battery Saver
- ...
I configure all of these battery saving apps to enable data/wifi for 1 minute, then disable it again for 5 minutes.
All the applications work when they are just started but after a while (~20minutes) these application stops enabling data/wifi...
Because of that I no longer receive any emails, ... because the connection is not enabled automatically...
I am running version B111 and all background apps are allowed to run. I am not running a task killer which could be killing these applications.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone else using any battery saving apps that they can recommend?
Feedback is appreciated!

Whether the battery saving apps are Bloatware/Crapware is a personal opinion. I'm free to use whatever I like and I wanted to use if because there is much more functionality included in these dedicated battery saving apps compared to the built-in power save option on the Huawei P6.
I don't get why it's not compatible? Even after disabling the built-in power save feature on my P6 It still did not work.

[Q] [Battery Drain] Android OS sucking a lot of battery

Hello,
From the last 2-3 days my phone's battery life reduced by 4-5 hours. Upon checking I found that Android OS is taking a lot of battery (Image attached). I have just a couple of sync settings on. Its also keeps the CPU awake. Please suggest any way to stop this.

44% is too much. Which FW you are using? And are you rooted?
If yes set lower CPU when screen off, that saves battery a lot, n did you turn stamina mod on?
