Deep sleep issue?

I've had this phone for 3 weeks now from a vibrant, and so far the battery hasn't balanced itself out. I get maybe a full days use out of it. From what I've read that's pretty good for this phone, but I'd like to be able to get consistent use.
I got a little more curious and decided to install cpu spy and discovered the phone isn't deep sleeping. So my question is, is there an app I should look out for that could possibly be running in the background? I've un installed all bloat that came with the phone, turned off sync, etc.
Any ideas? Or any roms that are touchwiz based that are battery friendly?

What apps do you have installed?
You're still on stock, right?

Heck your running processes to see if anything is running that shouldn't be. Also, there is an app called Watchdog (not the data meter) that can be setup to alert you when an all is using more processes than it should be using.

Yeah fully stock before the ota that was sent out.
I have the same apps I had on my vibrant with an extra game or two.
Mainly gapps, dead trigger, light flow, roku, Nike Running, etc.
I read somewhere that light flow was causing issues when the phone was first released, but so far I haven't seen major drain from that app alone. I turned off accessibility in the respect to light flow just to see if maybe that was the issue a d nothing.
Currently it sits right at 384mz. No idea why.

I forgot about that app. Just installed, I'll try this out and see what I can find.

This app should help you determine what exactly is keeping your device awake and preventing deep sleep.

Not sure what it is as this so the first day I have had this issue but it appears my phone has not gone into deep sleep at all today either. Weird.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Hm, just checked my phone, was interested that maybe the app wasn't reading it correctly.
I remember in the Vibrant, some kernels didn't allow apps to read the correct Deep Sleep stats.
Mine is working fine, 84% on deep sleep.
What ROM are you guys running?

I'm on the latest CM10 nightly and lean kernel. Oh well, time to diagnose.

I've had a couple issues with deep sleep as well. However a reboot to recovery clearing cache and dalvik fixes it.

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

So it seems like I'm not the only one having this issue, which is nice to know.
I ended up just switching to another rom and now it's going to sleep correctly which is nice because my battery is lasting.
Thanks for all the tips!

What ROM are you running now?

BetterBatteryStats has done a very good job of monitoring apps/processes that prevents deep sleep.

Right now I'm running Stock sX v2.0. Its pretty good so far. I'm getting pretty similar battery life I had on my Vibrant.

[Q] battery drain problem JB back to stock.

i updated to jellybean LI8 from stock t999 LH2 version, but because of super heavy battery drain i flashed it back to LH2 thru odin.
However i still get same heavy battery drain. i use up 10% every 1 hr just with screen on. before i used up about 3~5% for 1 hr.
i was able to get about 14~16hrs with normal use before, but now i dont think i can even get 10hrs.
it seems that the sim card area gets hot whenever the screen is on, and cools down when off. before flashing my phone was never heated
unless i was playing heavy graphic games..is there a way to completely flash the system files? or to fix this problem...pls help. thanks

Your numbers don't make sense. Need a screenshot.

I also observe the battery drain.

phone this morning for 2.4 hr usage and already 74% left...

Give it a few full charge/discharge cycles to work itself out.
How did you update to jb? How did you revert to ics? Custom roms, otas or full firmwares?

I did jellybean update thru OTA here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850534, then i reverted to ics using odin and using the stock ota file here http://androidromupdate.com/2012/08/25/restore-back-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-back-to-original-ics-4-0-4-t999uvalh2-stock-firmware/

Screen time is fine. I don't see a problem here.

yes the screen % is fine so i dont know where its draining the battery...
i think something wrong with system file because my phone really didnt get warm just from having the screen on.
is the method i reverted to ics correct? or is there another way to completly reset/overwrite my phone back to stock?

If your phone is working, your method wasn't incorrect. If you flashed the stock firmware through Odin, that's as virgin as it gets.
Battery Info and KakaoTalk are obvious culprits. Tell me about your wifi situation. Are you connected to a wifi network?

yeah usually i leave wifi and kakao talk on most of the day but it doesnt drain battery this fast...it just messed it up after the jellybean update., it was 100% this morning, 4 hours and now i got 60%. usually i would probably still have around 85%+

I'm in xquizit v26 and observed that I'm not getting a deep sleep and the battery drain in less than 5 hours. I reflash the rom with full wipe and still have the same issue. I step back and investigate what cause this problem. It seems that when I flashed the kitchen v6 with open vpn cause not to have a deep sleep. With out the open vpn I was able to get a deep sleep. On the first cycle I was able to get the 15hrs battery life. I will continue to observe this because the battery behavior can only be observed after 3 days.
I tried to post this in the ROM section but XDA wont allow it because I only have less than 10 post.

You should pm this to wildchld. As far as i can remember this is the first ive heard of it and maybe the same for others.
Search the thread first to see if anyone else has reported. If not or if you think you have information to add shoot him a quick pm.
If you dont want to let me know and ill get the info to him so we can test it out.
Thanks man!

If you can go without, try uninstalling those two apps and see if it settles at all. Also get cpuspy to see how often the phone goes into deep sleep.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

okay so i jus instaled the cpuspy and saw that theres a lot of deepsleep so i guess theres no problem..?
and i think its not the app but the thing with screen. whenever the screen turns on, it gets hot and the batt uses alot..
i tried re-flashing using odin while ago but still the same.

I would suggest flashing wildchlds XquiziT or DJintrigues Frosty JB. They both have done very good jobs at getting more out of your battery while still remaining stable. Being on the full stock leak i doubt you will easily find a way to acceptable battery life. At full stock i kind of remember LI8 being one of the worst for battery.
There are actually multiple causes, some depend on how you use the phone.
Another thing you can do to help hunt it down is get Better Battery Stats.
Also in Settings > Dev Options check show cpu usage and itll tell you what processes are using the processor in real time. You will likely see 2 or more that seem to stay at the top of the list.

i checked the XquiziT's ROM and i think lots of people are saying the battery problem was solved so mayb ill try it with this one, however when i went over the posts it seemd that theres prob with the kitchen? thingy and they took it down. is it possible to jus flash the XquiziT Rom without the kitchen features?

Yes you can flash rom without kitchen. Hes actually working on a new release hoping for today I believe.
Kitchen was taken down due to possible bricks when using wallet and mobile odin.
Also, battery problems are not 100% solved in either rom but are close!

hey thanks for the replys...
ive tried to flash the v26 through recovery boot menu but it says E:verification error. i think its because i flashed back stock by odin, how can i solv this problem?

Have you reinstalled twrp or cwm? Stock recovery wont flash that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Remove the battery for 5 min...and then check for the drain. Mine fixed itself up this way.

okay so i installed twrp and did the install but still same prob with the heating battery lose. i will try few more wipeout+install and the battery takeout thing too and post up

Always running at 1.6ghz? Phone charging REALLY slow

Having an issue with charging for the past few days. Phone dies quickly. Phone charges really slow and in CPU Spy, it's either at 1600 mhz or deep sleep. Nothing in between. I checked the clock speed and it's 200 mhz - 1600 mhz. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If you can get an app like betterbatterystats to show what is actually draining your battery then that should fix your problem. If you cant find out whats keeping your CPU at max then follow this as much as you can

Clean install. Restoring apps from Google Play. Stuck at 49%. I may be paranoid but I doubt it takes this long to charge, even when downloading apps.
Not even 1% in a couple of minutes.

Maybe ur brick or wire is screwd up

Boot to recovery...
Wipe the caches...
Reboot...
Let the phone sit untouched for 10 minutes...
Then use cpu spy from the market to test..
You could also try a kernel change to avoid the max cpu issues..
I'm running carbon rom with devil kernel and have no issues...g

Did both of those. Let you know in a bit.

Typically, when the cpu maxes out, phone won't charge.
Consider checking your governor, tweaks, or rogue apps.

10 mins on and still 98%. Everything seems to going so far. Now just my USB problem

I understand.
According to CPU Spy, 1600 is 59%! 800 is 1% and deep sleep is 35%. This is after a clean install / caches cleared / new kernel.
I don't know what's wrong. This is a first for me.

Have you installed personal apps beyond the gapps package ??
I've been plagued with this same issue on AOSP roms for weeks...
And finally settled with carbon rom and devil kernel...
Governor is pegasusq....and scheduling is cfs...
The initial boot will take mine about 10 minutes to settle in...and do "not" use any system tuning apps to control the CPU...as they will conflict and confuse the on board AOSP control..
If you have done this...then factory reset the device and try the test again with no optional apps that control the CPU...
This is a frustrating effect that only targets a few devices...and ours are affected...
I got through it...but try the above settings....and be patient on the first setup....and if the system is free of control files it will work...g
Edit:
I'll stick around for a bit and do my best to help the issue...
I finally got it on carbon rom nightly builds...as all CM nightly roms Will bork my CPU....g

Poor battery life all of а sudden.

Rooted wifi version with slimkat rom and Franco kernel. Guys hello, so I have bought nexus December. First months okay. All is fine but recently it got strange in battery department. I can barely squeeze 4 hours of screen time. I got everything in terms of background apps running. No drops of the tablet or hits or anything. Brightness is at 15/20 percent all time. Should I blame the rom?Should I flash other rom or go to default software and return it since it's under warranty. I never read any complains bout my problem over Internet so I'm asking here. Before games would run 4/5 hours screen time now 2 hours max and no matter what I do battery just drops steadily. I ve done reset day ago. No wake locks, no background apps running iv been and know this scenarios.
P. S
sorry for English

I posted a similar problem in the general section, hopefully 4.4.3 will help with this, but if its just you and me, then maybe its slimkat, cus thats what im running also....

Do you have the deb or the flo?
&
What are you using to identify which apps are running in the background (i.e. an app)?
If it's not a rogue application or wakelock, I would probably try flashing a different kernel and test it out for a couple days. If your problem persists, I would flash stock and use it for a week. I always recommend flashing to stock so you can get a reliable baseline to compare it too. If you are on stock and still exhibit the same problem, I would play the warranty card.
That's at least what I would do.

Has anyone else experienced high battery drain recently? System is chewing through my battery and I'm not sure why. I cleared cache and installed elemental x kernel but haven't seen a change.

If this is android 8, try going to the beta Google Play Services. I also disabled the automatically turn on wifi when in range of familiar wifi toggle. Both seemed to help me a lot.
