First of all , I really like the work onecosmic has been doing , keep up the good work !
I am currently using the RC2.1 build combined with fugo kernel . so far epic . I'd really want to use this rom on daily basis but the problem is that i get horrible battery life. at first I reflashed everything (including all wipe needed in the order specified) but that didn't help . I am currently on my 4th or 5h cycle of calibration but it gets worse every time .
here is a screen shot from the 2nd cycle (started fully charged ):

i lost 75% in 5hrs of normal+- use . :\
here is one from now (started fully charged )
40% in one hour . i played a couple of games for 20 minutes and thats it . it dropped me to 79% and than i stopped using my phone . the battery dropped alone to about 60% short time after that .
What can i do to improved it ? I tried to avoid widgets , reflashing and wiping , other kernels that seem to mess up my rom and get the home button not to work (nushors) ...
I thank you all in advance for your , I hope you could help me solve my problem

Check in battery settings what is using your battery so much.. if anything other than Android OS (could be till 30-40%) is consuming your battery.. take action regarding that..
if this doesn't work, then clear your battery stats through recovery and calibrate for another 3-4 full charge/discharge cycles.. should solve your problem
Tried everything . battery still sucks
I think it's the HSPA/WCDMA network type. I use GSM only and I get 1day +.
You forgot to post most importat thing, how long display was on. From screens I can see it was on alot.
If it had 3-4 hours, it's probably okay since you had data enabled aswell.
try buid 13 teamhacksung.
I'm on it! And it's better than CM7.

What means better than CM7? Can you give an example: e.g. 2 days with normal usage.
I don't have good battery life too. We just need to wait for devs to improve it...

@chriss23: how is your battery expierence with build 13?
i am on the second battery cycle with onecosmics mod. normal use of the phone and 63% left after 32hours. its ok but when i use some apps the battery drains one percent on only a few minutes. iam unsure if this is normal. usage of android os in battery stats says 26%.. in gingerbread, this was too much but would you say its normal on ics?
thank
Hello all. I had also battery issues with the new roms of ICS. I exclude usage of data which one way or another makes things worse. I believe that issues will be fixed soon since the difference between the first versions of roms and the newest ones is significant. Freezing also some unneeded background processes always help (i use titanium for this). Playing among different kernels and undervoltaging can also help.

Ok, i did every single tutorial how to enchant my phone battery life...but no help..
After i installed Darkys 9.0.2 ROM with Voodoo kernel my battery is practically dead... it goes 8% in 1 hour and i can max use my phone for 10 hours, with turned off wifi, 3g, auto rotation, bluetooth, gps etc.
Will battery be better if i flash stock 2.1, 2.2 or 2.2.1 on my phone? Because i cant live anymore with this draining.... :/
EIDT: And tihis morning my battery was on 19%, but 7 hours before it was 72%, with turned on wifi and auto rotation....
Try to flash the JPA wifi fix, but i dont know if it will help u so much.
or try to flash drifrent modems and see if it will help u in battery life.
I prefer Doc's Rom, and the battery life is very good =)
Good luck

Try to flash a stock/official ROM and dont install any other extra's yet and no 3G data try to see if you still see that kind if battery drain compared to having custom ROM's usually these battery issues are user caused.

I cooked my own rom (Docs Kitchen)
ROM: XWJS3 v9.1.4
CSC: JP9
Kernel: Speedmod
Modem: JPX
And in this 20 minutes its all going ok, ill be using this for one day, recalibrate the battery and if this rom does not work i will flash stock rom
Try ZSPJE Modem, i have very good battery life with this modem.
I have the wifi on over the night, 7-8h I lose 2-4%.
Use Power Tutor to track what is causing the drain. Note: Power Tutor uses the battery up quite a bit so don't use it after you determine the problem(s). One of the biggest battery drains is running the screen brightness on max. It is a good idea keep below 80% brightness. It displays in mW (miliWatts). Your battery is 5.55 W so if you are averaging 555 mW that is 10 hours of battery life or 10% per hour.
Good Luck!

Ok... Average is 786mW
The screen uses the most... :/ i think thats alot
EDIT: i changed screen brightness and now is average use smaller
i have the same problem as You. No rom and no modificiation can help my battery drain... My battery life circle about 10 hours, with no wifi, no hsdpa only 3g, no gps, minimum light... i will try instal power tutor and see what's going on.
EDIT: ok, its seems the same.. average power: 580mW, where the AMOLED takes about 500mW, light on minimum..

sorry for my english..
Have you all done the battery calibration from 100% to 0%?
Tried looking at battery history from spare parts to see what is causing the drain?
Anyone else experiencing worse battery life going to official JB? My official ICS battery was much better. Much. I even did a hard/factory reset after I updated. Ive even disabled a lot of the "new" features like google now and multi view. Anyone have any tips? I used to last til 15% by 10pm on a single charge now im at 15% by 530pm... ugh. Any way to easily go back to Official 4.0.4 Germany?
When I check my Battery stats it looks like the screen is using everything. Im keeping it on the same settings I had on ICS. No auto and about 45% brightness standard.
I have the same feeling about the german jb official rom.
Screen is taking up almost all the battery. Any ideas to improve battery life? I usually do the recommended tasks such as no background process, low bright screen, few widgets and so on.

My wife's Note on LSO has been having terrible battery since the update. The drain is massive.
Too bad, she really likes the multi-view, but as-is, it's impossible to keep this ROM.
I have same situation- display uses more then any other rom in past...
What rom is best in bartery life- no matter GB, ICS or JB, probably custom with custom kernel. it is not important for me as batery life?
thanks
My phone idles alot and on lsa i noticed it loosing alot of charge just idleing
so much so i rolled back to 4.0.4
the final german release is just as good in my case for long idle times as it was on 4.0.4
cant say on long term screen use
I have same problem. After installing BetterBatteryStats

I have discovered that AudioOut_2 wakelock is problem. After some investigation it seems problem is Skype or Viber. Currently i am in testing process. I will post any news here.
Update: after removing Viber, problem is solved :facepalm:
do try enable power saving...it limit your cpu max 1ghz only, thus could save a bit
@rames
I do not have viber and skype...

Whats the best way to rollback to 4.0.4? Thx
install CPU spy betterbatterystats and check for wakelocks.
I was getting 8 days of use out of LSA (I keep everything off GPS/WiFi/3G Data)
With LSZ I am getting around 5 days of use ... with the exact same usage ...
My CPU is almost always in Deep Sleep so I am starting to suspect the new baseband LSO (modem.bin)
P.S. Stock LSZ with PhilZ 4.63 Kernel+CWM ...
I had same thing so I simply did the following :
Enabled power saving then forced stopped every app which showed up in running services which was not needed and battery back to nomal now.
I found that maps and voice talk kept my device awake a bit so if you don't really use them daily then simply disable.
I seem to remember it was the same with stock ICS when first released then it got better so fingers crossed.
Guys why don't you follow ahalford's thread about battery life / wake locks? You'll find a link in my signature.
Only thing I really need in 4.1 is blocking mode.. I plan to back on rocket v12. Is there any with better battery life?

You have a lot of wake locks and apps.. These battery saver apps really don't help that much. Use betterbatterystats to find out what those are and check the wake lock thread in q&a sticky .

Try the Ultimate Jelly Bean ROM....it should answer your questions on battery drain. Check the forum for Ultimate Jelly Bean ROM
that's a problem of Germany JB, battery short life and can't use airview
Try LSF Trinidad and Tobago rom or Jonrom which is based on it. It has better battery life for me than german LSZ. Airview fix also working.

Well that translates to 33 hours of battery life so that's pretty good
This phone is different from others in that the lowest frequency (384mhz) is very high (my nexus 7 stays at 104mhz a lot), so minimizing the number of apps that make use of the phone when it's locked is key, as they would make it run at 384mhz, stamina mode is good with this but I assume you already have it on
So try to search for apps that use services that always run in the background and uninstall the ones you don't use very often
The same thing happened to my SP but only for 3-4 days after flashing a rom, then it was stable and the battery decreased from 100 to 15% after 2 days (light-use) or 24 hours (3G and Location based Wifi were on, without Stamina or Low battery mode enabled).
So, have u flashed rom already?

1% in 20 minutes when display is off. i charge my phone after 15-17 hours. that's how much it actually lasts.
Stamina mode is not enabled. i will try with it too in few days. thanks for the advice though

first, try installing wakelock detector or better battery stats from play store to investigate what's eating your battery up
then, you can freeze/greenify the culprit.

This seems to be common problem with Z, ZR phones after upgrading to Android 4.3.
I have the same issue and as I can see from the consumption meter, the Android OS draining 80% of the battery?!
This is more than strange and Sony must do something about this ASAP!
If someone found solution, please post it.
I've tried everything I could find on the net, but nothing helped. Even when phone is on full standby over night, everything switched off (WiFi,BT, MD, all processes that can be stopped), battery draining is 2% per hour.

Battery is wonderful after .101 update , able to browse continuously for 8 hrs with WIFI
previously it was for 6+ hrs.........
I really don't know if this method improves battery life, But, back to my previous phone (Xperia Ray), there was a method where you could improve its RAM management on ICS Firmware (2011 Xperia owners know very well that Stock ICS Lags). By Installing "Disable Service" from playstore and Disabling The "LoadAverageService" from the SystemUI app. I have done this already on my ZR and I feel like it is much better. Anyone rooted can try this, its safe.

I'm having issues.. I've been always lurking XDA (years now) I do not post frequently.. After my nexus 4 (3 years) I got my new nexus 6; I' ve always rooted them, etc.. this time after a couple of weeks (2-3) I rooted and got my franco kernel.. anyways everything was fine till a day that I ****'d up a flashed M by mistake, I had to re-do all my stuff after restoring latest 5.1.1 android version..
The thing is now my battery is dieing just too far. No geo-location, no bluetooth, no nfc, no LTE (only using 3g), mostly wi-fi, NO WAKELOCKS! and still its dieing too fast for the non use that im giving it..
For example
Yesterday night before sleeping it was 78% .. when i woke up: 40% it had 6 hours of deep sleep and still the battery drain was just insane..
Any ideas boys? Should i close bootloader and restock this and send to motorola for a change or what? Let me know which logs do you need.

Wipe cache and dalvic cache that is a usual fix and simply flash elite kernel recommended I charge from 10 pm to 6 am and at 7 am im still at 98%
Lots of deep sleep
Use CPU spy app to look at deep sleep
Another fix for alot Samsung users was to disable volte under call settings and WiFi calling when not using it .Screen time out to, 15 seconds all the usual settings disabling
Best of luck

Did the davilk cache and cache wipe (didnt flash elite kernel) and everything is going well right now.. thanks alot
will report back if anything new pops, thanks man!
edit: lets not sing victory, keep the suggestions coming.
What rom are you running? Maybe I missed that part? Dont forget to turn off auto-brightness that is a real batter killer
Edit I see that you are on stock, sorry.
Do you have a good data connection at night? I know when I had sprint I had to connect to a wifi at night or my batter would be half way gone over night because it would search for signal.
Do you have the search for wifi even when disabled turned off under wifi advanced settings?
Hey, i had wifi always on but that was not the issue, it was not a data related.. After 24 hours my battery is alive again seems like dalvik cache and cache wipe worked out, i did try the wifi off but it was not making any difference.

Just for pictute proof the battery life gets better if you just charge decharge correctly
Getting estimated 24+hrs all day 7 am today until 7am tomorrow ... Providing how much you use the phone
Screen time out 15 seconds GPS off WiFi off or on only use one!!
Brightness down to 1\4 way that's all you need cause screen is bright even at that setting.
And If you want a great combo flash Sinless rom and elite kernel wipe dalvic and cache reboot!
