Check out this image I took. Android OS takes up a lot of battery and uses cpu active for nearly 4 hours...
How do i find out what is draining the battery?

Install GSam (don't forget to remove this later, it drained my battery itself) or buy Better Batter Stats.
See if you have wakelocks. If you have, some apps are preventing phone from going into deep sleep.

Go to BBS-> Click "Other" and check Kernel Wakelocks, Partial Wakelocks, Processes etc. to see what eats up your battery.

OK thanks Will do.
One more thing. Is it safe to have BBS running all the time? Will that drain my battery fast?
Yep. I have it running. GSam drained my battery, this didn't.
I use BBS and haven't uninstalled it once for many many months. It doesn't drain much battery life, so it's OK to have!
If you want, you can post your findings here and maybe someone can help you identify what problems you're having.
my galaxy w is rooted but not flashed, and suddenly it became so hot and draining so fast.. can anyone help me ? is it leaking ? do i have to replace my battery ?
There are programs that check for apps that cause memory and battery leaks.
Ill eat your dog and shine your shoes screw you Im a leprechaun

Check if its bloated. If you can't see it well, take out your battery, put it on a table and spin it. If it spins for more than 15 seconds, then it is bloated. You will want to change it. And yes, we will require a screenshot of your battery usage

Don't take that as being 100% correct.
I have had batteries reported as healthy when in fact they were starting to show the smallest amount of bloating and starting to fail, which caused fast discharge and other problems like rebooting when forcing the camera flash, sudden drops in battery charge level etc etc...

It´s all your battery programms draining your battery. Yes they are draining battery too and if you need so much programms, don´t wounder your battery is drained so fast.
So rather than using all that battery apps better check what else is draining your battery.
sorry for late reply, but thanks for all of your suggestions..
gonna post the battery usage sooner when i got 10 post
Hey guys, so it's turned out that my battery is leaking, now i have replaced it with a new one, but it's still draining so fast. So what do i do ?

Greetings everyone!
I'm facing battery issues using Gimmeabreak 2.0.6, but (maybe) read somewhere that is a cyanogenmod related problem, but I still can't find a way to solve this problem.
I got huge battery drain by screen from (40% to 50%), with auto backlight, 1 min shut off.
Battery is 2 months new, cleaned cache and dalvik cache from recovery, recalibrated battery.
Is a rom related problem or a cyanogenmod problem and there a way to fix this?
Thanks!
GAB 1.1

Thats an awesome rom by an awesome developer.. If you concerned about battery use Gimmeabreak 1.1.. Best battery backup and most features as 2.0.6... Dirty flash over it...
Thanks, I'll try that later!
I think that for most ROMs, custom ones at least, the biggest battery drain is often from the display/screen. I'm currently using Jellytime 4.2.2 R11 and my battery drain from the screen is ~40% but I still get a decent 15-18 hours of usage daily before recharge. You could try saving battery life by disabling other features such as Google location reporting and turn auto syncs off your accounts
Hope my input could help :good:

The only other things I could think of would be to:
1) Wipe battery stats via recovery
2) Recalibrate the battery (but I see you've already done that)
3) Use the app BetterBatteryStats to find out what apps are keeping your phone "awake" cos it could most probably be just an app causing battery drain.
4) Worse-comes-to-worst, buy a new battery?!

eheh! Done everything, used another battery, still no solution!
I think I'll wait for a stable kit-kat rom!
Same case here
I have the same battery drainage issue. The battery drains from 80-70 or 50-40 in matter of mins or sometimes seconds when the screen is on. I guess its something to do with the CM ROM. I also use Greenify and i've hibernated most of the apps that relies on GCM.
Any good battery saving kernel's for CM10.1?
Wipe battery stats via recovery seems to help a little
It seems like a normal drain, I have the same drain for screen, is pretty big for the battery...

My battery is 2 year old, normally the screen uses about 50% to 60% with also auto and 1 min. I think your battery drain is not very normal.

I think you should consider replacing the battery after 2 yrs. It.s cheap, at least on ebay, you can buy one of 2-3000mah. I did so and the problems stopped, but I didn't had such a battery drain. Try a different rom, I.m on JellyTime R10, and I find it most stable and no battery drain.

Normally the battery can hang on about 1 day for a regular use, and I have 3 backups, after this one dead I will use another one. After randomblame release the stable 4.4 I will try. Maybe it's a cure for all problems, haha
Cheers

Seems you need a new battery too
I'm thinking if it's not because of the battery life or the ROM, maybe it's some apps are using too much resource. I've tracked my CPU usage, one weather app was always using about 20% CPU.

Sorry to bother you, bit which brand and model of batteries do you buy and use?
I already searched many and many opinions, reviews, etc...
And all say the best ones are OEM, Mugen and Anker.
I really want the brand with the best battery life 100% to 0% , bit also the best life and reability to end of life (years) based onde old users that buyed.
And best quality too, this is with temperature sensor and protection overcharche, trust legit laws, that things =D
Which are your recomendations guys/girls?
Thanjs so much
PS: sorry errors of keyboard correction prediction, and english not my native language. Lol.

It was just some batterys without a brand, haha. I think it's not gona be a big problem if we use a third party brand, just don't use too cheap one I think. I'm using it even with CPU overclock to 1.5GHz.

1) root your phone
2) delete useless gsam
3) install BBS (Better battery stats)
4) see what's actually draining your battery. Numerous alarms/wakelocks, or some process...

It seems you have 78% Battery left, after 16Hours 11Minutes 32 Seconds Uptime, giving you approx. another 48Hours at your present consumption. This looks reasonable to me for the LG G3.
Are you on the latest Update??......
I don't know with the others, but there seems to be mysterious battery drain on my A70. It's night and day, compared to my old ZE553KL with only 500mAH difference in battery.
Is there any tips to get even more battery life from this thing?
Hello,
I have the same problem, battery goes down so fast, very disappointed with battery life.
My battery life is great (6h SoT at least), I usually end the day with more than 50% battery left. Maybe you have some apps draining the battery in the background or the update messed it up so it might be worth doing the reset to factory settings.
Check - background scanning wifi and gps if is ON it drain battery a lot , also if not need change gps accuracy to coarse . Battery draining apps samsung software report itself after 2-3 days .

Hello thank you.
Where I can found this settings please?
I actually have very good battery life,i would suggest you to install greenify app and add all the apps in the hibernation list and create a shortcut key on the home screen,one click and all those battery sucking apps will hibernate.

+1 I can easily get 2 dats use between charges (UK H3G branded Firmware).
I also have a terrible battery life for two weeks, before 100% to 90% I did more than 1 hour of screen and now does not reach 40 minutes, attached screenshot

I've never had that application installed
I'm getting excellent battery life.. I'm only using 4g network...
I can't say why but I found out that disabling bixby (voice thingy) makes a huge difference on my A70 with battery.
to those, who use 3rd party battery apps:
I think you should stop using 3rd party battery apps (battery monitoring, saving apps) they consume a lot, too, and do the same as the built in battery app. I experienced when I installed one of these "useful" apps, and it consumed the most battery, so these are fake. Simply uninstall or disable really not used apps. You will see difference in my opinion
