I'm looking to drain my battery as fast as possible, to aid in battery calibration. Are there any apps that will run the CPU at 75% to 100% on purpose, similar to that of CPU burn-in apps for PCs?
For now, I'm just running the GPS and a game with an animated menu and scrolling credits. Do you guys have other suggestions for idle battery drain (me not having to do anything)?
I use batterycalibration from the market for my battery calibration.
If you are looking to kill battery, YouTube will help and backups in cwm typically drain my phone as well.

Netflix will kill it on 4g in 3-4 hours by itself.
Watch NFL Network on 4G. That kills the battery quicker than the phone can charge.

Hello fellow note owners
My note has been draining a heavy amount of battery lately. 2 days ago I did a battery calibration,drain it to 0 then fully charge it to 100 while phone is off. Today i turned it on and I was surprised the first 5 mins I used the phone, 5% of battery gone!
I am currently using Rocket Rom v22 on Abyss kernel 4.2
Abyssplug governor
I am using SPB Shell launcher
My screen brightness is all the way to dimmest
Wifi,gps,BT are all turned off
Data and background data is on
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Download Better Battery Stats and find out what is causing your *wakelock*
whatever you are using... am using the same except spb laucnher. Mine consumes average of 3% per hour with GPS,3G, background sync on. And not using any battery monitors.. Try reseting..coz some app may cause this drain..
Thanks for the replies

I have this app but I dont really know how to use it... and also I am not concerned about my phone draining battery when im not using it. Its when I am CURRENTLY using it and draining massive amount of battery for simple task (I.e browsing over my phone's apps, Internet, checking email using K9 mail, Facebook) I literally just unplugged the phone from charger and used for 5 mins and battery immediately dropped to 95%...

This is what I wanted to happend 3% PER HOUR!!! Mine is 5 mins = 5% gone!
What do you mean reseting? Reset what?
However any app grinding when you aren't using the phone will also be grinding cpu when you are.. In better battery stats select wakelocks and see what apps are constantly waking up.
You really want to get your phone using minimal cpu when it's off so you can really judge how much the running apps are using.

Check out Badass Battery Monitor. It's easier to understand.
I was having the same battery drain issue. I install better battery stat app and found that google+ was using most of the battery and stay awake the whole time. I uninstall google+ and no more drain.
I am not sure if these are normal..
Can someone guide me on how to do some tweaking/killing bloatwares to improve battery life?

Spb shell 3d.
Also on on badass battery, the phone radio is on the same time as the battery time. Is that normal?

You got your answer right there.
SPB Shell 3D is eating up the juice. Its a beautiful launcher but its serious battery drain if you play with it little bit.
Hello guys..
I am a GNote 2 user, but i'm planning to buy a smartphone for my girlfriend and in this case, i think s3 mini is quite a good phone..
what i am asking here is, how's the battery life on s3 mini? with my note 2, i can get around 24 hours with email, twitter, facebook, and another social network app syncing every time and a lil bit gaming of course.. For the s3 mini, how long does it last in average? Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Mine lasts for 30hrs with wifi and mobile data always on, a bit of gaming, alot of messaging,few calls, browsing and so on... Great battery life all in all...

30hrs with that usage?! That with Stock battery?
Considering the SIIIMini has a 1500mah battery and the Note2 has a 3100mah...
Like all the smart phones i had before. Play around with the phone all day and charge in the evening. I

For me 24 hours maybe 25.
Screen at 30%
Wifi always on
Lots of gaming
Internet browsing 2-3 hours

No battery saving on.

Nope

GSM Arena says the battery strength on this likely related to Jelly Bean optimisations. They say other Jelly Bean phones they've tested perform REALLY well battery-wise. Other phones with bigger batteries on older software die long beforehand. You can see the battery test for this phone here: http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-ga...hes-our-battery-tests-the-results-are-inside/
Hours, minutes:
Calls, 6.22
Web, 7.38
Video, 7.46
I'm surprised that your phones can take it that long with gaming/browsing like that.. mine normally gets through the day, with +-5% to spare..
- charges by night, till 7A.M.
- overday average usage: 25 texts, 15-30min talking, 20min gaming, 20min doing other stuff
- wifi/mobile data/sync/bluetooth are always on
- going to bed at 1A.M., so 18h of working time.
Guess I could optimize by disabling that wifi etc.. Also tried some power savers:
- juice defender didn't do a thing at first sight :/ (free edition)
- easy power blabla was buggy & gave black screens
- go power master really helps, managed to get through 2 days actually.. however, the screen transitions were quite slow. I don't know yet what settings I used, reinstalled it today & at first glance it doesn't help that much anymore.. (transitions are smooth again though)
Any other tips on power saving are also welcome
You should see the battery life on the MyTouch 4G Slide. You're lucky to get four hours on standby with it.
Mine battery is about 6-7hrs
I turned on power saving and brightness was about 50%
I use a lot of fb messenger an chrome ,little bit of music,and xda app ,3g was on all the time ,wifi was turned off ,2 app runing in bckground weather and antivieus aand i think thats all

I used to get almost 2 days out of it until I put the latest version of Faria's rom on it. Now I get a days usage. Grrrr. Somehow I'm losing 24% of battery life while my phone is sitting in standby (unused) with screen off for 9 hours.
Here is my battery usage..

only 30 hrs on flight mode ???
I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and then traveled for work outside network coverage area so i put it in flight mode and the battery lasts for max 30-32 hrs with no more than 30 min of light games like solitaire per day.
Any advice ?

Its normal. Your phone still uses os features.
You can't expect from smartphones these days to last 4 days

Hi!
I'm recently using the Firefox browser because of very good performance and speed.
But I want to ask if I'm correct that it's draining the battery more than dolphin and stock browser? I think I noticed it but I'm not 100% sure so a feedback of other users would be nice

Tried maxthon and it definitely consumes less battery than the Firefox, thanks.
... The design of the Firefox and the battery consumption of the maxthon - that would be perfect for me
