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.

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.

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?
Recently I had a big problem with my Google Play Store and couldn't download anything or play videos in the youtube app.In desperation to find a fix I relashed my ROM with Odin,did a factory reset before clearing the dalvik cache which seemed to fix it.Because of this I had to re-root and uninstall lots of bloat and set up the V6 script.My phone is running almost perfect now except since that ordeal my battery life isnt what it used to be.It drains terribly even on moderate use.Before all the problems,I had de-bloated and was easily getting over 24hrs on light-moderate usage.Now I'm lucky to get 14hrs and can drain the whole thing in under 5hrs on heavy usage.I check the battery usage stats and the closest thing to the display is Android system.Could it be the ROM posted on this forum is more juice hungry than what I had before,even though its the exact same FW(2.3.6 XEU XXLA2)?Its the only reason I can think of since everything else is in order.Any ideas guys?

Hi got this tip from the galaxy ace forum "barebone ics sunday". If it helps you can try it; I've tried it and somehow managed to get a bit more juice. On moderate - heavy usage (talktime > 1.5hrs, > 25sms, email polling every 3 hours, 15mins playing PES + vid clip 5-10mins, + some calculator work) I was able to get my phone to stay alive for 15-16hrs..maybe 'cos got rid some bloatware may have somehow extended standby time..just give it a shot..it may help a bit..

Yes I've tried it on my Galaxy Ace and applied the same set of procedures on my W.
Yes, positive feedback I'd say, although the difference is very subtle/small.
Maybe others can give it a try and report if they feel the difference.
On the ACE it was remarkable maybe because the ROM was stripped down to the bare-bone i.e. No calculator, No Calendar, No Gallery, etc.

Alright Faizul, thanks for the additional method on calibrating the battery.

i have massive battery drain too. will try to calibrate battery method
Ok so ive installed alot of custom roms on my wildfire s and on all of them my battery life sucks. If im on wifi my battery goes down 10 to 15% in like 2 to 3 minuets. Do you guys think its because of the roms or i just need a new battery. Please help.
Type in the call menu : *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery menu.Wrote there all the informations.
Do you full charge your phone ?(about 2-3 hours)
Try to delete the batterystats.bin file via CWM.
If i helped you,click "Thank's" button.Have a nice day

10 - 15 % in 2 minutes? WTF?
Are you sure your battery isn't faulty?
Even in worst conditions my battery never drained that fast.
Anyways here are some tips:
-Charge phone to 100%
Go to CWM and delete battery stats.
- Dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information, In preffered network type Select GSM auto PRL.
- Use juice defender or something which would turn off wifi whenever its not being used.
- Make sure all the accounts aren't set to push as it takes a lot of battery.
- End processes by going to Apps-> Running services.
- Don't use heavy widgets on homescreen or launchers.
- Brightness to auto and timeout time must be less.
I could remember just these. But I guess if it's true that your battery is draining that fast most probably your battery is faulty. Get a new one.
sounds like a faulty battery.
Kill/Uninstall Apps
Yeah, I had this problem :/
What I did was
- download a battery saver app, It closes mobile networks when you're not using them.
- Set the screen to a low but visible setting
- Uninstall some of the memory draining apps
- and kill some of the RAM munching apps.
Hope this works :L
ill try some of them
Don't download a battery saver app, it'll just use cpu cycles and battery even more.
Manually turn off mobile data and wifi when you're not using them.
Don't overclock.
Lower your screen brightness.
And ultimate solution, get an extended battery.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
What kind of charger are you using to charge the battery? If the charger's voltage and Amp's out put is higher then what the phone can take it could be over charging your phone and charging your phone way to fast. If your charger is normal then I would invest in a new battery, a o.e.m battery is good.
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

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.

My Huawei watch dipped below 15% and a card appeared asking if I wanted to activate Battery Saver Mode. I did. Later, I charged my watch, but the battery saver card was gone and the mode was still activated. The screen will not stay on, (despite having "screen always on" enabled), and I do not get any vibrations or other alerts.
How can I manually deactivate Battery Saver Mode? I don't see it anywhere on the watch or the Android Wear app on my phone..

I don't think this is the same as ambient option of a watchface. The batter Saver mode turns off the display even before ambient face gets a change to kick in. I was using the same face for quite some time and I do know for sure that it has a ambient face. Heck, I even tried changing to another face to verify it. Nothing works.
By the way, I did find a similar question on Huawei watch forums https://community.gethuawei.com/devices/huawei_watch/f/65/t/3794 and it seems customer care is also clueless about the same and suggested Factory Reset (just because they didn't provide a way to change the setting, that bad)
In the watch developer options there is a battery optimization setting. Maybe this can control the battery saver mode.

Pull up the battery saver card and swipe left until you get to the screen that says to disable battery saver, then press it.

Thanks. This worked. I half expected it to as others had to factory reset.
Once the battery hit 15% mark, Battery Saver card appeared and I could turn it off. However there was no option to disable it in total. I seem to remember that there was one before, may be went away with a update.

Yes, well, it's hard to drain a fully charged battery down to 15% when the screen wont stay on to drain it. Quicker to wipe. Terribly planned feature.
