Battery Life Poor on Blazer 1.6

When I first installed this rom, my battery life was great. Now, I think something is wrong because the battery life has been running out faster than normal. For example, this is my battery just today:
I am using the freeza dual core fix and I just recalibrated my battery last night. Does anyone know what could be causing the poor battery life?

A rouge app. Or your settings.

I looked at better battery stats app and there are no rogue apps running. My settings are good too. I'm so confused.

I know it was. Everyone's is. Except mine :/

try flash a different radio or try a different rom. you will see different battery result.

Mines is OK.... in 14 hrs I had left 45% left ..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I just flashed the new radio so I'll see if that helps. So far, I got 12 hours of battery with 3 hours screen time, which is still pretty bad

Is this normal?

Should my phone be using this much ram without any application running? (See picture) and could this be causing my battery drain? Thank you in advance!

Could be, I have about 475 mb with out any apps running, but I have a very debloated rom, almost no Google or Samsung apps, libs or scripts. but if you have 3g cdma on constantly it can seriously drain your battery. Cdma antennas have always use a lot of power. Idk abot 4G lte cuz I don't have it in my area.

Ah thank you kirt I had a feeling my 3g was taking all my battery when I have it on my phone last 7-8 hours but when I have it off and moderate use it can go up too 20 hours. And btw guys I'm using FreeSonic Rom. If that helps. I just think its too much ram being used :/

My ram is similar non rooted stock

Is this considered good battery life?

I'm a heavy user and I got this today with Darthstalker + Lean Kernel. Dying now at 4:30. Is this the best I can get with a stock battery? Using half brightness btw, streamed a soccer game, constantly texting, tweeting, Facebook, xda, listening to music, Internet browsing, etc. Thanks for any feedback I can get

About 4 hours is what I get too. I stream video with the screen on all day long. I also have 6 batteries and 2 external battery charger for that phone.
On my Note 2 with the same usage I get about 5+ hours.

Yeah I really want a note 2, no one is willing to trade even with a good amount of cash.

Have you cycled the battery yet. Did 3 fill charges and drain to about 20%? I had the same problem and nlw my drain is good. Different rom and kernel though

I get the same with lean and version X I think it'd best unless me and you are the unlucky ones with bad batteries lok

The battery life is actually pretty good already. I use all my phone pretty much the same way (streaming videos). My previous phones never even made it to the 4 hour mark.
Htc evo 4g = 2.5 hrs
Motorola photon = 3.4 hrs
Galaxy S2 = 3.2 hrs
iPhone 4s = 3.? hrs
Htc evo Lte = 3.5 hrs

is that all on wifi or 4g? if wifi i think it can be a bit better. i can consistently get 4 hours of screen time, streaming and what not.

I don't even know what good battery life is.. Any thing is better than the hd7 I use to have. You'd lose a Chung for plaiyin angry birds (their only game) for 3 mins.. So your lif looks good to me.

I can pull about 2 and 1/2 hours with 14 hours but that's with non - constant use. If I use the phone constantly it'll end up with what I posted about 6 hours with maybe half of that with the screen being on.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

No that's horrible battery life. I easily get five hours screen on time.

Is that from a nexus 4? If so why are you posting on s3 forums lol if not then how the heck are you getting that life?

Yeah I could care less about nexus 4 battery life as I don't have one.

You can't compare to other people's usage like this because you stream videos. For example I told you earlier I get about 4 hours of runtime on my Galaxy s3 with a lot of video streaming. If I use my Galaxy s3 sporadically I get times like these.
Your runtimes are normal if you stream videos.

Charging times change

I noticed lady night that the charge time slowed down after a few hours. I'm using the mugen 6400mah battery and I've never seen this happen. I didn't use my phone during the 6 his it was on charge. Any ideas?

Terrible Battery Life :(

I think I got a dud because my battery life is sucking real bad. I had G2 for over a week and I have to say, the battery on G2 blows Note 3 out of the water which bums me out. I mean 7% in 35 minutes is simply unacceptable. Anyone else having similar problems? Should I take it back to the T-Mobile store and ask for a replacement? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I guess I'll replace it tomorrow. I am also not happy with the wifi signal strength. It's hardly one bar. I am getting convinced that I got a defective one.

Can anyone else post their stats so I can at least compare. Please!

Hey buddy I work for tmobile... we are told to let the battery die completely and then charge all the way up to 100 and then unplug.

My battery life seems good so far. I'm still on the pre charge. Got about 3 hours phone call 2 hours screen on. And 18% left. Haven't done my first charge yet.

usually when you get a new battery you're supposed to condition it. but anyways, I usually turn off wifi, gps, disable pen detection when in holster

Here is another picture showing 3% drop in battery juice with only 17 minutes of usage. This is freaking embarrassing

Let the plucking battery cycle a couple of times. I'm sorry but youse sound like a bunch of whinny brats. It takes time for the battery to reach peak performance.

Is that with 17 minutes of screen on time? If so, ur battery is fine. Ur on pave for over 7 hours of screen time.

3% in 17 minutes of screen time is not bad at all

Yeah these screenshots without on-screen time are useless.
Even 10 minutes of on screen time for 3% is pretty good - that's on track for 5.5 hours of on-screen time.

What u talking about batt is breast since I got my phone I got it 45% out of the box. And it's still running good so far
