I'm getting 4-5x idle consumption on latest JPA. Hope this is still not final..
I see that next version of Android is already trying to discredit previous one. Don't be afraid, gingerbread, we will update to you anyway =))
On a more serious role - I see approximately the same battery.
Re-calibrate your battery.
A bit worse on my end on IDLE, but same on usage, close to 8hrs of battery life watching a 720p movie.

Whats a good method of recalibrating it aside from deleting the battery stats..
Speaking of battery stats, a lot of people misunderstand this as the file that keeps the current charge of the battery.
my standby time of the battery is great. No drop in battery after a full nite of sleep.
however, surfing net on data really eats a lot, 1% every 2 or 3 times.. really fast

Maybe you just can't understand well the charts.
for example: Music Player 25%, it doesn't mean music player consumed 25% battery; This means that when music player was worked, then battery consumed was 25% - what did consume it? - The music player + display + some refresh + etc...
Yeah, I know a little bit strange logic for "Windows taskmanager" browser kids; but this technic is general in mobil IT (maybe Google should hide this feat, bcoz lot of users are confused; and ask again and again and again and again and again...)

I dont even think he is basing it on the battery chart usage, I dont think anyone does.. we are just looking at the battery indicator. If we idle for 8hrs we epxect no more than 2% battery drop.
I get 20% battery drop in froyo for 8 hours during the night without even switching the phone screen on once!
Maybe because of all of the services I have?
I have the following real time services:
1. google stuff
2. exchange (touchdown)
3. Tango
4. whatsapp
5. Chrome to phone
6. SMS Backup+ (backs up SMSs as soon as they arrive)
In addition to that, I have two email addresses configured in the stock email app with 1 hours pull time, and in "accounts and sync" I have facebook and twitter put as sync once a day.
I have a bluetooth headset connected all the time and receiving calls though it, I make and receive almost 1 hour of call, probably 5 SMSs, WiFi is on all the time, and the display is set to auto.
It is also worth mentioning that I have the JPA, OCLF and the 341MB ram kernel (250Hz) with the enhanced GT TWLauncher, no live wall paper, no auto syncing widgets.
My battery lasts almost 8 hours until it is flat, in which I have another charger at work, that a good 2 hours charge keeps me going until sleep time, where it is flat again, and then I put it to charge all night long.
If anyone is having my same configuration and settings, please share your experience.
Oh, I have disabled the haptic feedback completely and the clicking sounds universally also.

This. Tango is broken, it keeps your phone awake, even when the screen turns off. Uninstall Tago and you're good.

You are a lucky guy,
The first day I used my phone, I got a drop of 15% per hour of continuous use.

Charge the battery FULLY, & start discharging it, when it comes down to 5% or something, go delete the battery.bin (search the forums) or some such file. You need root. The restart, Viola, your battery is indicating the exact charge.

May I ask where did you get this information?
AFAIK, phone usage timer "in battery stat" is not increasing while the phone screen is off, indicating that phone is not operational.

I dunno what tango exactly does but i can only confirm this: tango kills the battery in no time. even the newest version claimed to be "fixed for sgs", it still eats 5% an hour in standby just by adding tango.
besides, tango doesnt work very good anyway.

I've read about that by deleting the batterystats bin file, Im still looking for a solid explanation on whats exactly in that file, from my own understanding its just a battery usage history.

here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-722862.html
how are you using your phone ?
I see a lot of these threads talking about battery.
But bottom line is - How do you use your phone.
You have to compare apples withe apples.
Only 1 person in this thread described how he / she is using the phone.
Thats something you can compare with
I usually have mine running for 8-10 hours and have to charge. (almost empty then)
But im a heavy user.
Blutooth headset - Wifi - Sometimes GPS.
Aways on fastest netvork.
Exchange and Google mail, facebook and twitter.
Everything consumes battery.
BUT having said this -
I was on a vacation in France, and stopped every service, as im from another country and did not want to pay expensive roming prizes.
The phone now lasted 2-3 days on 1 charge, and this was all new for me
You get the drift
Forget about this battery charge discharge / charge delete stats thingy.
It will absolutely not give you longer battery run time.
Maybe the battery indicator will be slightly different, thats all.
Not worth the effort.
Hope this helps you

I think I found this over on the Desire forums but these steps have helped me immensely. I did these steps just last night, and I unplugged my phone at 12am and now at 9am it's at 90%, with 3G turned on with syncing once an hour.
With your phone on, charge it to 100%. Once it reports it is full, disconnect the phone and turn it off. Plug it in again, charge it until it says it is full (1 minute or so). Then disconnect again, turn it back on, and plug it in again. Charge it until it's full. Disconnect.
I find that after I do that, the battery life improves IMMENSELY for at least a couple days, or until my next flash (still testing).

If you checked what you posted you can see Im all over that thread, bottom line is that doesnt work for me what works is I just charge to full while the unit is off. Thats how I calibrate it and it always works on my end.

Hi, I also have a question regarding recalibration. I have the OCLF v2 installed and find / -name battery<somethingwhatever>.bin shows me 3 files batterystats.bin (I'm pretty shure this is because of the oneclick lagfix). Do I have to delete all 3 files or is it only necessary to delete the "real" one?
I tend to lose about 1% (or a teeny bit more) an hour while on Wi-Fi. I know this is not normal, since others in this forum have reported half a percent loss per hour. Look at my screenshots!
Usually Google Voice never shows up in the battery stats, so I don't know why it did now. I only received about 10 texts... it stayed awake for 13 minutes Never happened before, but the battery drain was always like this.
And then there is Android OS.. 1h 25min?!!?
I have sync enabled for: Calendar, Contacts, Google Play Books, Internet, and Gmail (2 accounts for Gmail, the rest are 1 account). I receive no more than 10 emails a day.
And I'm pretty sure Facebook & Messenger shouldn't be waking up the device that much!
The kernel wakelocks seem crazy...

I think that you have already answer your question. I mean why do you have to have all those apps , sync enable? I use all those and wifi, facebook, tagged i play games watch movies and music video and when i get home i still have juice in the batt to keep on.
What you have to do is customizing your settings (enable sync only on interval) or yet better, look for a battery saving apps like 2x battery.

Well I know this is not a lot compared to what others have. Google Voice I use for texting; this is the first time it has stayed awake so long. Usually it's tiny. Facebook & Messenger don't sync. From what I know, this isn't a lot of syncing. I know this phone can do much better. Android OS and all those kernel wakelocks aren't normal, and aren't caused by Facebook or GV..
Battery saving apps shouldn't be necessary. I've seen many others get much better battery life without them & with FB.
Your problem is buried under the third attached picture, the "Kernal Wakelocks". Since you have turned on wifi for the whole time, it generated a couple of bad wakelocks, wlan rx wake, hsic. I think these wakelocks were due to poor signal reception. Also the crap facebook app drains a lot of battery.
In order to make Facebook not consume any background cpu, you have to go into the app and logout under settings each time. I all together just ended up getting rid of FB.
Your problem is obviously in the kernal wakelocks. Figure out what the top ones relate to and try to reduce them.
I've definitely noticed faster battery drain when I'm logged into Facebook or Google+. I strongly recommend to myself to stay logged out of those services when I'm not looking at the phone.
yeah all those apps like fb and google+... I never install the apps, I just use chrome to login... simples
7% battery use in 8.5 hours is not "terrible" by any way, shape or form. That's plenty on target for a decent 2-3 days of use between charges; about average for the GN2.
There's nothing wrong here, at all.

Are you sure? I don't get 8 hours screen on like this in a 24h period. More around 6hours and it's mostly simple things like web browsing, reading comics, news, instant messaging, and some video playback.
I guess I'll remove FB for a day and see how it goes...

Hi, I have included the battery usage here. everything looks normal, but there are times when "home" and "system UI" is also shown as using 2% or 3% of battery. The battery gets heated up and it drains even when im not using the phone. My home screen wallpaper was the default wallpaper then i changed it to my choice. A while after that, it changed by itself to the default one. I suspect there's some virus or malware running in the background...I tried using different kinds of anti virus to detect if theres any virus or malware, but all the anti virus apps didnt find any virus and said my phone is clean. like i mentioned earlier, i have already hard reset the phone 3-4 times already...but its still the same, the battery gets heated up and the battery drains like hell when im not using it....any suggestions??

The second screen shot shows "home" and "system UI" using part of the battery percentage. Ive not seen "home" and "system UI" shown using battery before this when i was using the phone for the first two weeks.
Hi dude
I had same problem!
try a factory reset your problem will be solved!
your device cant enter standby so use many charges!
I tested in a g pro e988 that drain every night 40percent of charge without use, so its solved!
backup your data and try factory reset!
try it i hope help you!
try wakelock detector. your phone does not go to sleep. with wakelock detector you can see what app is the REAL cuprit and close it.
hi. im a brand new rooter. i got a preowned s4 mini last week and decided to root it using a guide here(im very new to all of this) i deleted bloatware and use apps like greenify, setcpu, wakelock detector all to my knowledge have been done right and im still having crap battery times. worse than my 5 year old iphone 4s!
i can post any screenshot of stats upon request but from my new knowledge of all of these apps and rooting, i see nothing out of the ordinary. if im being honest, "battery doctor" seems to be a nusiance to my battery. but it often gives me reminders that my phone is draining quickly with 29 apps open that i cant delete with app master or even see on greenify. some of them are..favourite contacts, active apps manager, s planner widget, csc, remote controls, factory mode, alarm and video player. the rest are the ones above like setcpu, greenify etc.
so im asking..what now? ive seen mentioned that getting rid of touchwiz and installing a new ROM like cyanogenmodgod. but what then?
ive no idea how to understand some of this but im fine with following instructions with technical stuff i.e rooting my phone in the first place.
i really hope i can be helped as im really liking my first android experience bar battery life

ill do that later when ive spare time. ill write a little update for now..
tried CM11, simply did not like the UI, i much prefare the stock s4 mini UI (touchwiz?) so ive reverted back. ill be sure to post screenshots of wakelock, battery screen etc.
my signal is rarely above 2 bars if 2 at all..ive changed the settings from LTE to the one that means 3g...hopefully the more stable 2..sometimes full bars saves battery!
heres screenshots of various things.
notice how battery doctor has many aps as being in the backround even though i greenified them AND turned permissions like "always on" to OFF so there isnt a reason why they should be on.
ok..i cant post links until i reach 10 posts so ill add in a space in the link..

If you go to settings > Battery > Battery graph , does it show the phone actually sleeps? (the "awake" bar)
I attached a screenshot , if the bar is compleatly highlighted , this means the phone does not go in sleep.
If this is not the case , i suspect something is wrong with you battery.

nope..the awake bar does have bits missing (being asleep, right?) i seem to be getting acceptable charge times as of late..some games make the phone very warm and do destroy battery % but so did them games on my iphone 4s. this phone isnt brand new..it is almost new..im "happy" with the battery times now but not so much as i expected better times than my 4s but its about the same at best. i may try an OEM battery someday and see if that gives me even a 10% increase.
any advice on charging? took me about 2.5 hours to fully charge..about 1.5 of them hours, i had the phone turned off..the rest was on airplane mode

That indeed means the phone is sleeping.
What kind of Screen on time are you getting ? do you leave bluetooth / 3G / Wifi on all the time ?
3G and especially 4G is a huge battery killer.
EDIT
About the charging , i generally just charge my phone at night functioning as a clock since the battery lasts me a full day.

i have wifi only on. its on most of the day, i turn it off while i sleep or if im out and about with no hotspots about.
i seen on youtube something about a faster touchwiz thats available here..it apparently helps battery life?
also nova launcher may help with battery life too?

Other launchers probably won't help with battery life.
I'd suggest turning off any radio's you don't use and (off course) keep the brightness low. What kind of screen on time are you getting ? (Settings > battery > screen )

I'm not sure on this one....you have to have an app somewhere that is killing your battery. My phone normally gets almost a day and a half easily. With Wifi and bluetooth constantly on, watching YouTube videos, and even screen sharing to my TV. Go through your Apps and find the culprit that is killing your battery.
go back to stock, watch drain for a couple hours install an app, rinse and repeat until you find the culprit.
Here, personalization service uses the GPS the most, but I don't know all the related Samsung apps that depends on it.
Same problem here, i dont use too much my phone, not gaming, not videos, just social Network and the telephone dont reach the 5 1/2 hrs screen time, most of the time is on standby, the WORST battery of all my phones in years.
Those with battery drain issue, are you guys using the Exynos version? Mine is Exynos and the battery drain is crazy since day one
Try this, it doubled battery life for me, especially since I spend the majority of my time connected to WiFi.
I'm using the Exynos version and not noticing abusive battery drain.

technically, when you connect to WIFI, mobile data will not be used.
Except you turned on the use Mobile Data if Wifi connection or signal is slow/weak option
I had the same problem... Multiple factory resets and setups later, same problem. Was ready to return the phone because System was using WAY more battery than Display and I was averaging 2.5-3 hours SOT to 5% battery. Found someone suggest Bixby problems in another thread, disabled all Bixby related apps and now battery drain is gone, regularly getting 7-8 hours SOT with no problems.

One interesting thig I see in you first(high use) screen shot is the amount of battery used by adguard, where as in the subsequent image it doesn't even show up.
Because all traffic runs through adguard, battery stats are skewed when running it. It tells you this when you first activate it. I wasn't using it when trying to isolate my battery troubles, but I'm back to using it 24/7 and still get 7-8 hours SOT, so it wasn't the cause.

Bixby Voice Wake-Up was a huge drainer for me. Find it in apps, doesn't show up on battery stats page, but when you pull up app stats, it'll show how much battery it's used since last charge and for me it was crazy high.
This phone has had the best battery life by far of any I've owned. I'm on the US version unlocked straight from Samsung, using on T-Mobile network. Use it all day at work, been at work playing games and making fantasy football moves on my phone all morning for the past 6 hours and am still at 75% (and my battery widget that uses the system algorithm says I still have 14 hours remaining at my current usage level), and I use Always On Display on ALL THE TIME. Has to be related to an app or something. I will say though that I installed sideActions and disabled all the Bixby packages (along with several other Samsung-specific packages) since day 1 using CCSWE App Manager. I'm not a light user, either - I have Nova Launcher, several KWGT dynamic widgets, Tasker, AutoInput, etc...
Do ensure you have battery optimization turned on.

I'm not a light user, either - I have Nova Launcher, several KWGT dynamic widgets, Tasker, AutoInput, etc...
Do ensure you have battery optimization turned on.

I had the same problem... Multiple factory resets and setups later, same problem. Was ready to return the phone because System was using WAY more battery than Display and I was averaging 2.5-3 hours SOT to 5% battery. Found someone suggest Bixby problems in another thread, disabled all Bixby related apps and now battery drain is gone, regularly getting 7-8 hours SOT with no problems.

Have used my phone whole day, lot of SOT, browser mainly, and i still have 59% left on the battery...
Optimized settings, HD+, wifi OFF, AOD ON, GPS ON, notifications ON, Adaptive battery ON, unsued Apps Standby ON, deactivate auto. unused apps ON...
No problem here. Exynos Note10+.

This was directed towards the OP who IS having issues... some people are having issues, just because you aren't doesn't discount other people's problems.

Do you have any other apps you have disabled or frozen using CCSWE and can share the list please?
Disabling those Bixby apps helped a bit with my drain.
