Just use the stock App Manager in settings. And if battery is an issue, go to About Phone, then battery and you can see whats been using it. Hope this helped
i like ZDbox app.
don't use task manager they screw **** up more then they fix, suggestion,
Find the list of safe to remove apps and remove ones u don't need, apps lik keis, mms, gmail/email, etc are constantly running, remove and replace wirh 3rd party counterparts.
Use a rom with CIQ removed, use undervolting scripts helps with battery aswell.
I can't stress this enough, DONT USE TASK KILLERS unless u know what their actually designed for.
Think of it like a PC in this sense, if you use taskmanager and kill a load of programs, depending on what u kill, can have horrible side effects, in the sense of android, when an apps not closed properly, peices can still exist in the ram.
Those peices can have effects on that, and other programs on your phone.
Your best bet for clearing ram is a reboot.
Simple, as for seeing programs running, hold home and hit taskmanager (plz keep in mind the above)
Or simply go to SETTINGS>applications>memory use and click running tab on top right.
Hope this helps. Peace

Im thinking it has to be an app gone wild. Ive never had a battery issue with TDJ's stuff. Overnight i get maybe 5% drop over 8 or 9 hours.

Ye there's no way it should b doin that..
10pm to 5:30am my battery drops 7-10%
@OP
2 possible solutions:
1.) Above post gut it pretty good
2.) Kernels not allowing deep sleep mode, flash a new kernel
#2 seems more plausible at this point considering your OP in full.
If its abnormal battery drain screen off ur phones not enabling deep sleep.
At this point most apps are effectively "paused" or slowed down
Making the battery drain almost irrelevant, my battery dies about 1% hourly screen off
Thanks to this mode.
Apps like SetCPU etc. Can also cause this if configured incorrectly
If using a CPU. Control app, uninstall it, trust the phone enough to do
Its own thing.
I will never recommend taskmanagers or CPU utilitys, if I did, what's the point in kernel deving besides OC?

Is awake & screen on the same? [obviously not]
As u can see from the attachment, the battery drain is caused by "awake". I was expecting more juice when I woke up but was surprised.
How do I check what is causing the phone to be "awake"?
Thanks!

Sometime i have problem with news app, they stay in background and keep checking news. Du to the large 2Go ram, there is - too - many apps that stayed in background, even if i quit those apps. I use the setting "limit background app" to 4 in developper menu. In my case it's helps a lots to save battery. This is one think i hate about Android, too many apps stays in memory for nothing but eating some cpu and mem
as of now im still at 40%! NO charging yet!

I think you should buy a new battery because your battery drains too much. I bought a new battery on amazon and I spent only 20 euros.

Hello,
I have problems with baterry too since i flash my phone with Slimbean rom 4.1.2. Since i have this rom my battery goes from 100% to 0 in 6 hours, before i had original rom i had battery for 3 days. So this can't be problem in battery. Anyone know what to do ?

I celibrated my battery now. At the moment it´s nothing changed. What you mean with 3 cycled charge? Should i charge first when the battery is at 0% ?
again,,, i'm gonna share with you my own experience,,,
i ,, too,, am flashing so many roms,, trying each and every one out there,,,
and so ,, i face a common problem,, dont know if its a board problem or what,,,,
THE WIFI
after i connected my phone to a wifi,, and then,, i switch it off,,,, i noticed that it will then start to reconnect by itself,,.. dont know when ,, or even how,, but its reconnecting itself,,, it continues to scan,,, ... result is that,, when i touch my phone... its really hot,,, and because of that,, im sure my phone isnt going to a deep sleep state.. (correct me if im wrong)
that is when i search the net and found a way to disable a wifi reconnection thru terminal emulator,,,,
and that is by entering this one
su (enter)
svc wifi disable (enter)
exit (enter)
exit (enter)
i usually do that after i use my wifi,,, to ensure that it wont reconnect again,,,
and im just wondering why in CM,, its always reconnecting,, while on gb roms,,, it doesnt....

after you calibrated your battery let it drain to 0% and full charge it and use it as usual you will feel that your battery stand more and more
and by time it will be ok again

So hey just a quick question if someone could help i'd love them forever...
So my Xperia S(lt26i) is having issues with draining its battery completely and utterly in a very short time. It loses 50% overnight(8-9 hours approx) and it didnt really do it before. I have a brand new battery in it, i did a factory reset and i just cant seem to figure out why its draining its battery like this. If i restart it, it instantly drops like 3-5 % on the spot. I'm running Carbon rom beta10, i havent overclocked it or anything. Can somebody tell what causes it? Is it some setting, or what?
Thanks in advance!

The v10 has some battery issues. You could try v11 but it has fc issue. You can temporarily solve the battery drain problem of v10 by using this method.

Thanks for the quick reply i'm already trying it out btw what is "fc"?
Edit: The software you linked doesnt seem to find anything, its getting crazy, it only sees the same analogclock-widget thingy receiver for all the running stuff.
Edit2 : installed beta 11 did the service kills(somehow dropped my battery from 50 to 1%) i hope now its going to work properly, im starting to rage here. But thanks for the tip and the help, much appreciated!

Fc means Force Close" . It happens to apps when they suddenly stop responding and give an error.
Huh! Weird! It worked fine for Me on beta 10!
You didn't need it on beta 11 because from what I read, that problem was solved in this version and even I'm getting much normal battery life. And that is one massive drop! Did You check in settings what caused it?
Thanks again for the reply, somehow even beta 11 didnt solve it for me but the fresh install cleared out that buggy service so i could do the service kill, it works now properly, battery dropped ~10% overnight, although it did just drain itself for no reason in a few hours(just turned itself off again after some chrome update-.-) i hope i't wont start to do it again now, im gonna go nuts.
Sudden battery drops from 15 to 0% within 2 minutes. Used battery calibration app but it isn't solving this issue. Please help me out to get rid of this.

Yup it happens in every ROM I flash (even in stock 4.2.2 XXUBMK3 too)..and nothing changes even after calibration through battery calibration app, drop still persist.
And I dont use kernel other than provided in ROM itself.
Phone is 1.7years old
And I flash new ROM every week or two
Calibaration of the battery is not the problem, problem may be in your battery too, as if it was in software base it would go after changing of few ROMs once try using apps like greenified that hibernates background processes and hence can save ur battery, and one more thing plz tell if ur mobile battery drains quickly from 100 to 15 too....
Hit thanks if it helped

Tried Greenify but didn't helped. And fall of 100 to 15 is normal. During that battery gives nearly 4 hours of screen on time. But after 15% phone doesn't even remain on for 5 minutes.

Well then your Battery is working good but due to being old it lost some of its capacity, and for that as much as i know a case might be either ur battery is sending wrong information abut it being 15% in capacity or some sector of battery in that i mean the ending electrolyte, it is not so active as battery is 1.7 years old so i can just sugesst in the case that u use battery savers after 15% as ur battery shows u 15 % but actually it isnt.... sorry couldn't help with this case...
