Android OS Problem !

Hello XDA developers and users ,
I would like to share my serious ANDROID OS problem which causes battery to die in 10 HOURs only WITHOUT using it !
it just drains the battery hour by hour quickly .
I have suffered a lot from it besides i don't have enough time even to use the phone when the problem exists , and i won't change my 2.3.3
carrier's stock Gingerbread because it supports my language { the middle east languages which I always in need (the main disadvantage in official samsung firmwares that doesn't provide all languages ) }
the issue drives me insane i won't even download many apps and a lot of saves until i get something or an update to , but i don't expect 2.3.4 update soon in carrier's stock roms,
In battery Use option , u can see the CPU Usage and the percent % and it reaches it's peak sometime to 60% and 2 hours of use
I read about a solution , " Restart the phone and it will solve " etc,, but it doesn't really help me , to experience such a great and fantastic phone features ,
I thought i would share the problem here , so the developers and users will help , or link and show me a good rom with middle east languages
The pictures attached below . ( Ignore the Wifi line because it doesn't really affect on the issue )
Thanks .

Is this on heavy usage or medium, light? My galaxy S lasts about 15 hours if I use it very heavily, say lots of web browsing, apps downloading, youtube, music, Angry Birds etc. etc.
On light usage, as in minimal use of stuff mentioned above and only primary use is texting and receiving calls, listening to music on locked screen, etc. it lasts up to 2 days.

That's what i meant, it must last up to 2-3 days with light usage , but unfortunately this problem prevent the phone from providing longer life battery .

Ouch.

Collection of Tipps for reducing Power Consumption

Plz share your knowledge below and will try to collect all of them in #1
Tools for recognizing Apps/Processes causing high battery drain:
BetterBatteryStats (uninstall the app after use, drains some power too)
Apps/Processes causing high battery drain & solutions:
GTALK_ASYNC_CONN (handles syncing, in standby this one caused the most partial wakelocks for me)
disable syncing (not the best way)
uninstall GTalk (if you don´t need it)

uninstall Google Earth (if you don´t need it)
ImapFolderPusher or similar
avoid using push notifications for mail, better set fix intervals for mail retrieving
*wifi*
in Settings/Wireless&Networks/Wi-Fi settings/Advanced set Wi-Fi sleep policy to When screen turns off
Smaller improvements:
Market
in Settings disable Notifications (it is not too hard to search manually for updates)
if you have auto-updates enabled check Updates over Wi-Fi only (there are rarely cases when you have to update your apps not being @home)
connections
in Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks choose Use Only 2G networks
General:
use an app like EasyProfiles for disabling apps/connections for special cases (like in car etc.)
keep your Screen Timeout short as possible (Settings/Display/Screen Timeout)
animated wallpapers are consuming more power
our OB has one of the best displays, therefore a display brightness of 100% is not necessary, go to Settings/Display/Brightness and check your settings
i am using Zeus1 by now and have a battery drain about 1.5% per hour in standby with following setup:
- uninstalled Gtalk, GoogleMaps (using Navigon for navigation)
- using K9Mail for email messaging and uninstalled all other clients, receiving mails intervall set to 15min
- disabled wifi on standby
Edit: now on Zeus V2.1, <1% battery drain per hour in standby with data, 2G & syncing
98% after >4h standby

* reserved *

This is a definitely great topic. Go on with it!

this is a good one...
The only thing I have is "Android booster" it close apps and turns off wifi/3G/bluetooth
And when going to sleep just put Airplane mode on and look at this...

Thanx For Great Tips!

2g/3g/data/no data battery life TEST

Here are my test results. These are not benchmarks or controlled environment tests. They were done simply to give an idea of real life battery life.
2g no data

The massive drop is due to a phone shut down (reason unknown)
3g no data
2g with data
3g with data
The workings were simple: set the desired network (2g/3g) and select data active/inactive, charge to 100% and use normally until 20%. No apps for battery savings were used. With the data active tests i had gmail and facebook sync. (although these were active in both 2g/3g with data tests i was more inclined to check facebook during the 3g part because it loaded faster)
Tests were done using
Rom : ParanoidAndroid Build 7
Kernel : Harsh 2107
BB/RIL : 725/622
I will post another test with 2g vs. 3g using battery 2x (app i use to save battery)

In the next test please post a screenshot showing Screen on time =D

Hmmm
Looks good...but i think you used your phone in 4 days only few ours to get this,right?

i used it as often as i needed it but the data being inactive it was used only as a phone (as the old nokia 3310) for calls and text (and the ocasional picture). I think it's a good indication that smartphones do not have bad batteries but the fact that they are used as a smartphones gives them the bad autonomy (see test 4)

But nobody want a Smartphone (dualcore) to use it as a 90s cellphone.
My O2X in 2G with data just work for 12hrs in a normal job day (i´m a doctor using a lot of medical apps, making and receiving several phonecalls, 30mins of GPS, whatsapp texting and taking an average of 10 pictures/day). Not using battery saving apps.

Over-Counted using a ton of battery?

I should start off with, my phone normally ends an at least 12 hour day with ~40% and over 5 hours today, It had dropped to 10%. I have barely used it because I unplugged it to go to a doctors appointment, so not much use there, then for like 3 hours at home on my desk while I've been doing stuff on my computer, so almost none there either. Another confusing thing is that it says that "Over-Counted" used 32% of my battery but >3000 mAh?

Any ideas or fixes?
Also, how do I spoiler, there's no button

We can't see your pictures. They are on your google drive apparently. If I right click and open in new tab it shows them, one at a time.
Using Google, I found "over counted" is the new "Miscellaneous" in Marshmallow. Are you on a Marshmallow ROM?
Some relevant threads using Google search:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/3osxfl/what_is_over_counted/
You basically have to go in and find out WHAT in the new Miscellaneous is causing your battery drain.
Many people have reported high wi-fi drain with Marshmallow, that could be your issue. There are ways to limit that -- @iiWoodstocK has some great settings. Or you can flash a custom Lollipop ROM (like CM12.1) while you wait for the bugs to be worked out.

I'm using CM13 and It didn't update or anything, this happened randomly. Anyway, how do I "go in and find out" the details, it only shows me the computed and observed mAh usage. Also, I should have updated the post with that info but yeah I basically found the same thing.

I'm still on CM12.1, so I'm not sure how to investigate the over-counted stats on Marshmallow.

that solution is for costum rom i'm using the stock version

Turn off app auto updating in Google Play. Go there when you want to check for updated apps and do it manually. Google Play Services is also a concern. As far as wifi demand, ensure your Developer's Options are enabled as it has some defaulted wifi settings in there. While there, disable the setting to "always" keep mobile data turned on all the time. Turn off any setting in wifi to automatically scan for "public networks" and disable "turn wifi on automatically." Now, your use will define your settings since I always use my home wifi instead of in public.
