You're going to have to do some further diagnosing using a wakelock detector to figure out what exactly is causing the drain. That is an unusual drain by Android System.
I've had no issues with battery drain on OB9, mind you, I never do a restore (ie. titanium) and always clean flash.

I tried doing a clean flash. I wiped data, system, cache, dalvik and then flashed ob9, flashed twrp again, flashhed sr5 then when i press reboot system, it says no os installed. :/ Also, im not draining battery during sleep. It's when the screen is on. Im losing 1 percent for like every 3-5mins.

1 percent every 5 minutes is 500 minutes for 100% which is 8.3 hours of screen on time.
worst case scenario, 300 minutes = 3 minutes per 1% - 5 hours screen on time.

Im mistaken. I just checked in bbs. I've lost 5% in 12mins. I've computed. That would only last me 3hrs screen on time. And om just using the internet with wifi.

That doesn't sound too unusual, depending on what apps you have running and syncing on your phone.

Really? I'm seeing people get 5-6 hrs screen on time easily.

same here
even with BJRR N
I have had flashed leaked OB9 though.

SoT is really a hit and miss and vulnerable to too many factors to be used as a quantitative measure of battery life/performance.
My day to day activities include text messaging (a lot of it), reading on my phone, minimal social apps (facebook and twitter), and non hardware intensive games and I can push out 4-6 hours of SoT (adaptive brightness on). If I put the phone into airplane mode and watch movies stored on my phone, I can easily hit 8-11 hours of SoT.
No matter which way I look at it, this phone gets me through my entire work day and then some on a full charge.
I'm used to charging my phone once a day and this phone does the job well for my use. And Dash Charge is phenomenal if you need a quick boost.

[UPDATE,FIXED] Battery lowered 10% in 2hrs while on Airplane Mode/ Wifi Off.

I was in a class that is from 7AM-11AM. The classroom has no signal whatsoever so at 7AM I put airplane mode on, didn't turn on Wifi, closed all open tasks and just for the heck of it turned off background data.
When I put all this into effect, I was at 91%. At 9AM I see that my battery went down to 81%. How is this possible? I was in airplane mode so nothing was synching or downloading, no programs were running in the background or anything at all. On my previous phone (Nexus One) under the same situation the battery would have been at 90%.
Phone Idle- 34%
Cell Standby- 30% (Time without signal 85%)
Am I missing something here? Can someone please elaborate why this went down so much for basically doing nothing.
Did you drain your battery completely the first 5 to 10 times charges, when you first got your evo? Many people claim that's how to he the maxium battery performance from your battery on any phone
Normal. I lose about 10% every 2 hours.

WOW... sounds like its your CPU thats still killing the battery??? You don't have it rooted or running any cutoms ROMs on it?
We SERIOUSLY need to get a UV kernel on here and underclock this thing when its asleep... So many battery drain issues.
Your issue is REALLY strange though.. I was in LA yesterday and mine didn't drop that fast for like 2 and a half hours... Very interesting......

This is bogus. Don't bother doing this. That was something that was needed back in 1999 back in the days of NiCad and NiMH batteries... It doesn't help LiIon one bit.

20 hours of battery life is pretty good. I think the record is like 62 with everything completely hacked down. I get about 4-6 in full on usage.

I understand that 20 hours of battery life is good but If I was using the device in those 2 hours I wouldn't be worried. But I wasn't, it was completely IDLE with all the radios turned off and programs killed (advanced task manager).

Deactivate any syncs you don't use. Make sure your phone is set to CDMA. See what processes your phone is running that are killing the battery and disable them.
I get about 27 hours on my battery.
I fixed the problem. I rooted 2 days ago (evening) after getting such bad battery life and I flashed Damage Control 3.0.
Today after 2 hours and 30 minutes of being under the same exact conditions as my original post (30 minutes more this time) with Airplane Mode, Wifi Off, Tasks Killed,etc I only lost 1%.
I went from 93% to 92% in 2 hrs/30 minutes which is a hell of a improvement in comparison to losing 10% in less time (2hrs) with the same exact circumstances.
I am extremely happy now. Oh and by the way, yesterday I got 14 hours of usage with this ROM which for me was unheard of before (4-5 hours)

Issue may be directly related to the latest google maps update which enables google latitude by default and keeps your gps truly active 24/7. Since disabling latitude in google maps my battery has been

Stellar Battery life!

I am just wondering if it was because when I purchased it I charged it from it being completely dead to full.
Then using it for a few hours. recharged it from 59 percent back again to full and left it to charge even though it said it was full.
Btw I havent rooted just the stock rom. And I can get through two days with moderate use and still have 10 percent. I have no issue with build or software.
I am pondering whether to upgrade to 1.29 when it is released for my network because I have no issues at all.
I had a small glitch when my phone woke up multiple times from scratch but it was software that caused it since uninstalling it. it hasnt occured since
base band 1.1204.103.14
build number 1.28.161.9 cl5622 release keys
browserkit webkit/534.30
kernel version 2.6.39.4-g86aa44dd

What screen time? I can get 2-7 days if I only makes calls on 2g for example.
Thats impressive is yours rooted?
I get over 5 hours screen time easily
That is a dream for me at the moment, I can barely scrape 3.5 hours if I want it to last 10-12 hours throughout the day!!!!

What is your brightness setting? Also do you play any games?
To get 5hrs is extremely impressive. I once did a test by have the phone sitting idle in airplane mode with brightness set to 50%, and the phone lasted 7 hrs 45 mins before the battery died. So only 1/3 drop in screen on-time with Tegra and data usage included is great result.

Based on your screenshot, it looks like you have data and wifi turned off. Is this the case? Because most people have 3G/wifi on the whole time when they are discussing battery life.

There is like 1000 different things that affect batt life.
The two biggest battery drainers are the screen and the mobile data.
Especially if u are in a location with low signal (either it is 3g or 2g).
I have my mobile data / wifi ON at all times and I average about 20 hours with about 2 hours screen on and TONS of accounts syncing (friendcaster push, twitter every 2 hours, gmail push, google contacts, calendar push, facebook calendar, whatsapp, viber, weather, ebuddy u name it ) so I guess it is alright.
Now with mobile data off I believe I could easily get the battery life the OP has reported but that's not really the point is it?
Wow you guys have amazing battery life. Makes me think my phones faulty haha

Battery life issues? Try this.

I just got my GS3 about four days ago.I noticed just like many people out there, that my battery wasn't lasting as long.After some research I found that doing a factory reset solved the problems.I'm getting 15+ hours now with moderate to slightly heavy use. Before I did this my battery would lose 40% with very light to moderate use in about 1hr 30mins.
No root.
Settings>Back up and reset>factory reset>wait for reboot>set up phone(just the initial setup)>turn off>remove battery and reinsert>boot back up (this is what I did)
How my phone was setup(sync,use etc.)
This is without power saving mode.
GPS: off
Wifi: on,because I havent gone out much these last few days(but off when I do)
Brightness:No more than 20% usually at 10%
I live in a LTE area just in case.
Moderate texting.
No gaming.
1 Call for about 30mins.
Moderate to heavy browsing.
Skype call for about 30mins.
Bluetooth: only on during 30min call.
Apps that sync:
Scope:every hour(syncs tumblr and facebook)
Facebook:every 2 hours
Weather:every 6 hours
Google account sync is on.
Email syncs once a day.
I barely receive gmail so I only get a notification from it once or twice a day.
During the night my phone lost about 14% (45% to 31%).
DISCLAIMER:I CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK EVEN THOUGH FOR A DECENT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IT HAS,DON'T BLAME ME IF IT DOESN'T AND FOR THE TIME LOST IN YOU TRYING THIS.
Its still good to give it a try.
thats sad as heck man, you ruining a good phone doing all that, either man up get a new extended battery or root your phone and undervolt that crap.

See the awake bar on your battery screenshot? That means your phone was on all day and night; it never went into deep sleep mode. When your phone is awake it uses practically the same amount of battery with the screen off as it would with the screen on, minus the display usage.

This was just for testing purposes I understand that without all that the phone would last much longer. But its a GS3 so I wanted to see what it was capable of. My thinking is if it got 15+ hours with all those things auto updating imagine without.
I lose 1% an hour in standby. Maybe slightly less. Tuchmi with faux. Samsung garbage removed.
That whole post is pointless.
Charging up while phone off to see if there's any battery improvement.

Strange thing is even with the wake lock it got 15hrs. Shouldn't disabling the auto updates solve that? If not I think the wake lock was due to the cell standby bug.

It should still sleep unless you are constantly updating every minute you have something else going on. Cell standby is just a measurement bug. Even if you patch it your battery life will be the same. When I let mine go without charging I got the same screen time but over a day between charges so you are losing probably 25% or so from it.

Horrible Battery!
Rooted my SG3 and have noticed a large battery drain. Unplugged from charging to a full charge and left phone off and it sat on standby mode. 3 hours later after NO USE it is down 20%. This doesn't seem normal. 29% is due to cell standby and 25% is android OS. On Wifi at home too, so I don't think its struggling for signal. Any ideas?

lollipop battery

It seems that with the new update I am getting less battery life then when kit Kat I have everything the same expect no root and I would usually get around 5 1/2 battery life on kit Kat with root but now I'm nearly getting 4? And I already factory reset it and it's still the same any help ?
Im having similar results, with 3 hrs screen time being my average. Fresh install, wiped clean, etc etc.
Mine is about the same. I have it set to power saving mode. Just not affecting background data. Getting a full day with it without having to plug it in till about 11pm, my day off charger starting at about 5:30am. It might be your settings and if you're a power user. I use mine all through the day, from streaming audio to social networking and talking and texting or surfing the web. Even watching videos!
My battery has taken a hit as well. I'm seeing about 20-30% less energy from what I used to get.
before the update I unplugat 7:30 I got to high school so I stream netflix I use YouTube occasionly read books at half Brightness with no auto sync nfc Bluetooth off WiFi off till I get home and when I'm not using my data I turn it off (even though I have unlimited ) then when I get home connect to WiFi and keep streaming YouTube and text social media and never worried till about 10 or 11 with around 5 hohrs and 40 or 45 min at 10 % but now I bear get 4 ost
You people do know that just like when you flash a ROM you have to train the update or ROM to the battery. To do this you have to completely drain and charge the battery a few times. I get better battery time with Lolipop then I did with KK. But I also trained the battery and system.
Yeah I was thinking that also but idk if that was the answer or there was something going on because when I first got this phone I couldn't get more then 4 hours ost but now I got more, until the update

You all have to also remember that if you use a KK rom that they were heavily tweaked by the rom maker most times for battery life/performance boosts.

These both make a lot of sense when it comes to battery life. I concur with them both. From a stock standpoint and the custom tweaked.
With stock NK2 I was getting almost 30 hours wothout charge and about 4 hours screen on.... now with OB7 i am lucky to get 10 hours with 1.5 hours screen on. Seriously thinking about going back to NK2. yes I did a full system wipe 3 times to be safe and still having said issue with battery

Have you fully discharged your battery to the point that the phone shuts off and then recharged with the phone off at least twice? If not you should give it a try. This is supposed to be standard procedure any time a ROM is changed or updated. The ROM has to learn the charge and discharge characteristics of the battery and the only way to do this is to have it run a couple of full cycles.

Accidentally gave thumbs up. Anyway, not sure if that's true. I've installed many roms across multiple phones (like most of you have) and I've drained and charged batteries after installing roms and sometimes I haven't. Either way I haven't noticed better battery life. It's usually the same.

This only gives you very small gains if any, also this matters more only if you don't ever let your phone die completely/have a non-stock battery.

Really strange battery drain

Hello there,
I've a new G4 since last friday and I'm experiencing a really strange battery drain.
Let's say I will charge my phone to 100% and than leave it idle, it will start discharging really slowly with all syncs active (for example last night it lost 2% in 8 hours). That's cool.
The problem is that as soon as I start using it again it will drain really fast, like 1% every 2 minutes. What is strange is that after start using it it will drain fast (1% every 10 minutes) even if i will let it idle again, so screen off and same operations as the 2% lost during 8h in the night.
At the moment I'm in Germany and I've experienced same drain ratio under good and bad cell signal and wifi. My model is H815. I'm not rooted so I cannot see good statistics in BBS.
I've already tried a factory reset.
Thanks everyone fo the help
I would start with checking the battery information inside settings. In there it will give the biggest battery drains. If you're lucky, you'll see something else up top that is not Android System, Android OS, or the screen.

Try disabled sync while using others app to see the outcome
I have the same problem. That's why I have a spare battery + charging cradle + power bank. Maybe I'll need to flash again since my device is not acting normally.

Today it seems better, only stuff I've changed is that I've disabled the quick cirlce cover since I don't have it but I don't think is related. At the momento I'm at 50% after 7h of wich 2h and 15min of screen time. Seems good to me.
I will go on testing during the weekend and I will report back. I hope the culprits are not rocket player (and mediaserver sice my music is on the SD card) but I've noticed a higher battery drain when using it. (today I haven't that much)
Those are some very good stats so far. Poised to hit 4h on the dot for SoT which is considered the expected average
I had to use a different launcher rather than the stock one and also a quick circle app and that was it

It is, if you were to continue you would be looking at 12h+ of run time.

i think that is just reindexing of content on the sd card. It is temporary. It could also mean that your sd card is going bad and more reads were required.

I've tested the card and seems good, It's strange that is still indexing it, I've the phone since one week now.
The charge after the one that seemed ok was totally bad. I'll investigate more
Thanks everyone
If you add files or remove them then i think it triggers indexing. Leave it for a while it should go away after some time.
if it does not try a different card. I only use the red sandisk class 10 cards, these give the least problems.

This of course is way, way too long.
Usually this is because of a corrupt/unreadable/unknown file on the external SD. Copy all files to PC, format the card, restore files. The media scanner will now end it's process in a matter of minutes :good:
So I've investigated a bit during the past few days, those are the results:
- Media server is not anymore keeping the device awake that much
- It seems that RocketPalyer is using a lot of CPU compared to what it was doing on my Note 3.
- Battery drain still seems a bit random, yesterday for example i got 16 hours with 4h and 3min of screen time, today I'm already at 56% after 5h and only 1h and 20min of screen time (I'ìve not changed what I did with the device that much, and I'm under same network and wifi as yesterday at work)
I think that if I want to understand why sometimes is acting weird I will have to root and use wakelock detectors, btw now that I saw that the device is not faulty (I was able to get good battery time on some days) I'm not afraid that much anymore to root it.
Thanks everyone

you have normal sot. 4-5hsot with wifi.
have been trying to figure out keep awakes with people that can't get more than half as much.

There is a way to see wake locks without root.

Yes 4-5h sot is when is working fine, but sometimes I get 2.5-3, that's when it annoys me

something to do with gps ?
check your android system and see whether it has any gps minutes on it that should not be there if you weren't using gps.
