Google Chrome is too much demanding for the CPU, given its crapness.
However, my C1905 rarely get over 35°C of battery temp, maybe you have some intensive background app staying on all the time?

Ok, so i did a factory reset today, battery seems to warm up less, still, when using it for a while, it is usually 35-36c(atleast that's what cpu-z says. The other thing i noticed today though, is that i actually have 1700mAh battery. I bought it from my carrier, so it's a new phone. Did anyone else got weaker battery with this phone?

Sounds like something is eating up your battery. Try downloading BetterBatteryStats app. Fully charge the phone, unplug it and leave it for a while (about 1 hour). Then open the app to see what exactly is eating up your battery. You could post the BBS screenshots so we could help. Hope it works out for you.
EDIT: Besides that, you should post more info. Were you using the phone (playing games, browsing, videos) during those 3 hours or it was idle?
I noticed the same thing happening to me once, it turned out to be picasa trying to sync, using my google ID, but I don't use picasa. I was seeing 50-60% drain in four hours while idle. Check your sync settings.
When it happened it showed android system was using over 60%, battery.
I was having this issue. I could charge my phone to 100% unplug and go to sleep and 8 hours later it would be at like 10% i tried everything i mean everything even tried airplane mode it still drained. Put a custom jelly bean rom on it. Now my battery lasts all day. I just cant wait for

For me battery has been great but a few times i noticed its gets very hot and when i checked the CPU both cores were lit up at max speed draining my battery, after some googling a found this thread which explains the gsiff daemon is the culprit after a hot reboot.
No one has found what the gsiff daemon is for or what causes the ho reboot, but the solution is just use root explorer and rename the daemon so it does not run.
Have all of you having trouble with battery drain still tried looking at the term "deep sleep"? You can check that with an app called cpu spy. If your having that issue with the phone not deep sleeping, report back and i will post some ideas.
With those who do say they have deep sleep issues, post the ROM, and kernel you are on.

so lately i noticed my battery dieing super fast. the only thing i can think of it since att expanded lte in my area i basically get lte everywhere now and since then my cell standby is at 60% or higher my phone lasts about 6 to 8 hours now its very annoying... before lte it lasted a ton longer it could be a coincidence but its very frustrating if this is the cause because its pretty ridiculous
Post some screenshots of the battery so we can see more of what's going on.
If you flashed multiple ROMs on low battery then you may need to recalibrate. I did it with my GS3 and I wish I would have known about it when I had the S and S2. Download the BatteryCalibration app from the market and follow the instructions on it. I noticed I was losing battery life bad, but after this I got it back up to stock levels which is amazing.

I have faced the similar issue as your. After 3 days of constant inspection with various apps I figured out the process causing this problem.
Go to developer options and click on show cpu usage. If the top process is "gsiff daemon" then you have found the culprit. Download system tuner and kill the process and you can see that the cpu usage will go back to normal and your phone will deep sleep afterwards. :angel:
Hi guys,
I used to have an LT22i with GB, and even though I was not thrilled with its battery life, I could perfectly live with it.
Right now I'm using an LT28h with ICS, and I was expecting to get much better battery life because:
. the battery is something like 1900 mAh, rather than the LT22i's 1380 mAh
. It's running ICS instead of GB
. I know the screen is bigger, but I often use it with less brightness than the gorgeous LT22i display did
Nevertheless, my feeling is that battery life on LT28h is roughly the same as what I had with the LT22i.
I checked the battery menu and I can see that Android System is what uses the most battery. On LT22i, it was the screen.
On the battery menu, when I click on Android System, I get:
CPU total: 4m21s
Keep awake: 5h48m36s
The keep awake time seems huge!
So, I've installed BetterBatteryStats in order to find the main battery consumers included in "Android System". But BetterBatteryStats tells me that the phone is in deep sleep most of the time.
I also have installed SystemPanel but I don't see any System Processes taking away much CPU.
Any clues on what's going on here?
Thanks in advance!
Bigger screen = bigger battery consumption
Well other than that,ics use much battery
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
Yes..bigger screen use more battery usage..I'm suggesting you to use app Greenify to hibernate apps that always running at background..Updating to JB rom is better than ICS because it have extended battery mod..It's similar to Juice Defender..

Nop. I compared with untouched stock firmware on both. Using exactly same apps. (6 hours of different is too much)
When I bought my phone it hold for 2-3 hours with ICS (too little for a phone). But now when I use JB at least I an use for 6 hours with less usage.

well for me battery in JB is good but battery life in ICS is way better. well you must need to have an app called greenify.. it helps you to hibernate all the apps you dont use and also you dont need that consumes the battery juices from your phone. my ICS ion .68 is indeed superb well why i love the ics rather than the jb? stock JB makes my ion freeze when using 3g/4g conectivity and most likely to happen when downloading in the play store so i used the ics which suits me way better since im an data user not a wifi user.
so try it out pal and hope it will help you..
Keep awake times of 5+ hours is definitely huge and wrong. I have had the same issue many times, usually it comes down to Google's location services. Check your location settings and see which ones are turned on, and also go into Google maps and find the settings there, it has it`s own location settings too. If no luck there, try turning off auto-sync for different apps, go into e-mail settings and click auto update every hour instead of every minute, check wifi settings to make sure it`s always on only when plugged in, because if it`s not off when your phone is sleeping and you go out it will try to find networks. Play around with it until keepawakes are under half an hour or so each day.

Hi there,
here's a screenshot of my battery usage (the fact that "screen" isn't the first one on the list is what made me try to figure out what is happening).
In terms of settings:
. Google location services are on (though not GPS). My Xperia P also had them on and "Screen" was always on top of the list
. Google maps is a bit useless without location, but I'll try to disable it... Once again, my Xperia P had Google maps location on
. I've turned autosync off for pretty much everything (and I use JuiceDefender to connect once every hour)
. e-mail is set to update once every hour
. wi-fi is only on when plugged in
Thanks.
The only other thing that's worked for me when android system or android os starts glitching with wake locks is restarting my phone right after I've finished charging it. Most of the time after doing this a couple times it seems to sort itself out.

Hi guys,
after having disabled all Location Services yesterday, battery life was not short at all - last night I still had 46% battery after a 16h40m on battery time. Nevertheless, Android System is still using 42% of battery and has a keep awake of over 6h (see attached screenshots).
Other notes:
. I don't restart the phone every morning after charging (actually I do restart the phone every night before charging) but today I did it and battery life is not appearing to be better - actually it appears to be worse
. I can't use greenify because I'm not rooted
So what is going on here exactly?
I'm out of ideas simply because android system has so many processes under its name its hard to tell which one exactly is acting up. I've put a couple screens of mine to show it is possible lol. All I got left to say is update to jelly bean and hope things get sorted out.

The strange part is... battery life is not exactly bad... it just isn't spectacular, and maybe it could be if keep awake time was less.
Note: I will update to JB only after I manage to un-soft-brick my Xperia P... just as a precaution... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262035&page=3
All the luck to you. And yea, your battery life is pretty good considering, but if you use your phone a lot and have quite a bit of screen on time then it'll all add up.

not necessarily in order to determine what is draining your battery your going to need better battery stats also if you your location , bluetooth that will drain your battery. most importantly some apps will battery hogs like facebook, gtalk if you are using those make sure you get an app called greenify but you will nee to be rooted.

In the past few weeks I've noticed my battery draining noticeably faster than the 1st few weeks I had it. Even running the exact same settings and apps I had before... same ROM versions, same kernel versions, settings, no added apps, etc. I hate to say it's my charging habits prematurely degrading the battery, but that's about the best I can come up with. Still getting the same general stats in BBS, phone stays in deep sleep the majority of time, but instead of only losing .2%/hr or less as when I first purchased, I'm up to around .5-.8%/hr.
Kitkat update killed battery life and makes the tablet extremely hot near the camera on the back. What gives?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
I don't have a solution but the same problem. I'm fine with it getting warm but it's getting really hot! It's great that we have kitkat but it's not all that stable yet.
Restarting seems to help temporarily. Feels like something gets stuck and then makes the CPU run extra stuff but I don't see anything with my wakelock analyzing apps...
When it is in "battery-eating-mode" even browsing or watching a video makes it run hot!
Generally it indicates that a file or service has become stuck, or hung. For me it's common for the Samsung.index.service to get stuck indexing a file and sometimes lasts 3 days before it's resolved.
You should use some kind of monitor to see whats causing it.
Gsam battery monitor does a good job of showing rogue apps, and battery and heat.
Also a CPU monitor is included in the debug/developer which can also show the culprit.

Indexservice uses 30 percent of my battery. I read that happens if you have lots of pdfs on an external SD card, but for me that is the whole point of this device. If I just wanted to play games, watch videos and surf the Web I would've gotten an ipad. Really dissapointed with Samsung here. Did they not test the device before they released the update? Or do they clock out of their jobs and go home and use ipads?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah the indexservice did the exact same to mine, Samsung were no help. Happened even when I put PDF's on internal storage.
I had no other choice but to root it and freeze the service with titanium backup, I really didn't want to, but I was left with no other choice.
As I had gone that far I also froze a bunch of other Samsung apps/services - I am so glad I did, the tab absolutely flys along now - feels like a different machine.
Root it, you won't be disappointed
Sony released a statement suggesting disabling the Google backup functions to improve battery life with kitkat Roms. If you don't need those maybe you wanna try that as well.
Settings/general/accounts and save&backup
It will likely fix itself after a few days. It happens on mine every few months for a day or two. Then it settles down and works normally. Same on all Samsung devices.
Has nothing to do with KitKat.

I did some testing with an app to check cpu frequency and here's what I found:
Sometimes the tablet goes into "fury mode". Which means that as soon as there is any task for the cpu however small it may be it drives all cores to max 1.9ghz and full speed. Which means even while I'm browsing or watching a video the tablet runs about as hot as when playing an intense 3D game. And with equally bad battery life.
Really bad performance/efficiency handling. Like now I've been browsing(chrome) for 30 min and it ate 15% battery life and it's extremely hot on the back where the cpu is. There aren't any special processes running I've checked with watchtower. Cpu load is not that high but frequency has been constant 1.9ghz max speed on all cores... need custom Kernel PLZ.
I have to say though this is not always the case. Sometimes after a restart or when it was laying around for a while this fury mode doesn't happen.
just rooted and froze indexiservice using titanium backup...hopefully this will help
Ok looks like everything is good now.
Rooted and used titanium backup to freeze all the stupid stuff that was causing the device to get super hot

Why not use Better Battery Stats, let the phone sit idle for 6 hours, download the dump file to your SD, and see what exactly is killing your battery.
There are too many variables to test your device reliably while it's in use. With GSAM, all you see is what's happening while the device is in use, and what 'Eats' your battery, but no 'Why' your battery life is poor, is it background processes/ notifications/ poor reception/ bad Wi-fi??
GSAM creates a guessing game. Logs never lie. If your battery is going bad, it will be reflected in your log(s).
