My battery drain very fast after upgrade to ics stock rom.
Got any way to solve it, like settings, etc?
you could use the built in power saver mode.
But we need to find the culprit, Install a monitoring app and /or check the battery stats regularly to see whats causing it.
How did you update to ICS ? Did you do a full wipe before hand ?
direct upgrade thru kies without wipe data
ok, well do not wipe data until you flash a safe kernel.
monitor your battery over the next few days with a monitoring app like watchdog or similar
if it doesnt improve, we will look at doing a wipe and starting from fresh
well....got the same prob....am on rocket rom v7...
the issue is that the battery drains really fast when m connected to h+ network!!
i even put the fone on flight mode and kept it like tat whole night and in the morning cpu spy showd that the fone was on sleep for awmst 7 hours, and the battery drain was just 3 percent!!so tat seems awrt!!
i jus dunno why the battery drains so fast when m connected to the network!!
plzzz a soln will be appreciated!!
Thanxx!!
Maybe you could try a different radio ??
If your current radio isnt finding a strong signal, your phone will be constantly searching for something better, Thus resulting in a lot of drain

It is probably just L2_hsic bug.
Just reboot the phone and search the forums for ways to prevent causing the bug.

I test one method, 3 day, seem like work to reduce battery drain issue.
1. turn off phone
2. remove battery for 2 min
3. plug in battery
4. start phone
This 1 i read from web site/forum.
Hello guys, sorry for my bad english, but I'm not American. Well, my question is:
I bought from a guy a Galaxy S I900b, Brazilian model with digital TV. Came with stock 2.3. As I had already read enough before, upgraded to JWB Saurom with semaphore kernel, which I think is the default for this rom. Well, the phone had very poor battery life, evn on idle. Then upgraded to 10.2 CM. I saw that had some wakelocks, and with BBS and the help here, I used the Scan Media Root and my problems are gone in iddle. So, my phone goes into deep sleep and today during my sleep, only lost 3% battery, 3% battery drain on idle during about 5-6 hours it very good to me. But during use, it ends up very fast, and with GSAM and standard monitor of the android, I saw that after the screen, the Android system was what had higher %% battery. So what could it be ? The battery life is ok, checked on info, and its condition is 'good'. I use to Greenify, and close almost every game\app, so running is just grenify and ram manager pro.
So the prob just could be a app or the 'android system' ? Or even hardware ?
I dont have much time now, so any info or screenshot you want, I can provide later
Thanks
What about your connections? Do you have 3G/wifi enabled at all times?
calibrate....maybe useless, but u can try....but somehow, try bigger mAh battery, maybe.....n maybe .... it will help.
juz charge it with screen turn on till it full, n waste it to 0% till it shut down, turn it on n charge it with screen on till it full again, u ll be fine
if problem occur again, keep an eye for sneaky app that run at background (email...exchange etc) n juz delete some sys app that u dont use using titanium.
if it still occur again, wait for arc reactor battery....

I've deleted the batterystats.bin and used until 0%, so charged while off, but nothing :C
It's true that the battery needs to 'learn' ? Like, a few charges and discharges and could estabilize ?
I'll take a few screenshots right now
Callibration of you battery eg: Wipe battery stats is onluy helpfull when you get weird battery stats.
If you are on any CyanogenMod ROM you have to get used to the higher ammount of battery use by the phone. The application Greenify can help a lot by hibernating the huge battery suckers like facebook and google maps.
Some tips:
- use 2G instead of 3G
- Turn WIFI off when you're outside the house or leaving for some time
- Turn GPS/Bluetooth on only when you're about to use it
- Dont use taskkillers (they are used to free up ram but killing apps makes android restarts them and this consumes extra juice)
- Put brightness on Auto
- Use a dark theme and background/lockscreenwallpaper
- Dont recharge your phone when below 5% this can damage the battery
- A new battery needs to "Get used to" the life of being a battery xD After a few recharging cycles it will work like normal
Here some screenshots, if need more, just ask
Note: Was with 14%batt, rebooted and drops to 11-10%

i am using greenify on almost everything.
used to use ram manager, but now i've disable it.
brightness is on low
I really dunno what 2 do ... almost 1 week with it and this insane drain, everyone says that plays or browser on wifi and get almost 10 hours... my dream this happen to me lol
Remember that this is just on use, on idle it use virtually nothing, like I said, almost 3% on sleep, but is just I start use with app or browser and its gone
Screens are from a too short period of useage. Use it from fully charged, and make some new screenies This can help futher
Well i got problems with my battery too so im planning to buy a new one because this one cant even handle 3-4 hours when im doing something like playing games,or listening music...Just buy new battery with more mAh and dont get bother with this :laugh:

About 2 hours later that I fully charged, here are some ss
Just used whatsapp and opera in this time
I was thinking in change my kernel, currently I'm using semaphore 3.0 with CM10.2, is Latrop or Mackay better in battery life ?
I think its my last shot ... I'll provide a new battery next week, but i've heard some people with batt probs that even with new batt the problem persists :crying:

It looks like wifi and 3G have been kept on for most/all of the time. Turning those off while you're not using them may significantly increase battery life.
Also, related to kernels, personally I've found Mackay to be a bit better in terms of battery.
Also it looks like your screen's pretty bright if 61% of the battery usage is because of it. So if you don't need it so bright turning the brightness down may help.
Start by doing those, and see how your battery life fares first- if not much changes, then it may help getting a bettery battery/changing rom even.

So, like i said, in this 2 hours after charge, i've used opera mini with wifi, I dont use 3g. Right now the battery is less than 10%... it's strange since have people telling that can use almost 5 hours wifi and the battery is > 50%
And the brightness is at lowest bright :\
The problem could be some corrupted file ? I have the options:
- format EVERYTHING, and dont use titanium backup, since somthing can be corrupted.
- change my kernel to Mackay
- change my room back to SAUROM 2.3.6 adn semaphore kernel
I'm very sad cuz I have a very old Nokia E5 that can be on with wifi almost or more than 10hours ... and this phone can barely hold 5hour
What u suggest me to do ?

How long have you been using the rom? Roms take time to calibrate the battery and this is through charge/discharge cycles.
Alternatively, go into Performance settings and change the profile to powersave/conservative (it differs from rom to rom). Lock the min CPU frequency to 200mHz- apparently this helps.
Again, this would change depending on your kernel.
And if you have a three year old battery like mine, best not to expect miracles...

Using bout 2 days ... but i didnt knew about ' calibrate '. Good to know that
Now i've formated everything and will put a stock 2.3 and see in a couple of days the perfomance ... if gets better, I put the saurom 2.3.6 and be with it, cuz 2.3.6 on brazilian model allow to use digital tv, and 2.3 everyone says is economic.
I'll get this updated if my situation changes, if not, will buy a new battery
Thanks for all your help
Note: How long your batt last ? With high\low usage
Even without sim card, the battery still drains, drained 10% every 5 hours. ( even wifi is off it still drains)
According to BetterBatterystats, the highest wakelock count in partial wakelock before is *backup*, (removed after disabling google backup)
The most wakelock right now is SuperStamina Xssm, it can be stopped after disabling Stamina mode, but even i did , this battery still drains.
any way to solve this? airplane mode also drains battery, basically nothing works from stopping battery drain.
in your screenshot you use wifi right?
Try to switch to GSM only (2G) in network settings and see if there's any difference.

How little do you expect the battery to drain? What are the current wakelocks right now? Are they still the same?
Can you use Wakelock Detector instead? The Xperia SP's battery might not be as great as you think....
Let's just calm down, and of course, help can never be demanded. Maybe your phone has a hardware problem that none of us can solve.

Why wait so long?
Take your phone to a sony service center(or where ever you bought the phone) and let them have a look at it, might be that your battery is just not working properly. They will replace if it for you.

they said it's normal for a phone without sim card to standby 2 days without using it
i personally think is software problem, i tried drain the battery down to 0%, then charge it full without break,
after that, the battery drain is just godly, after 2 days left 98%, but then the battery suddenly started to drain like hell,
after 5 hours it became 94%, then it keep draining down as usual.

If all the app draining apps are closed and alsoare bluetooth screen brightness and wifi.
The problem may be deeper.
Your kernel may have flipped and its draining this much battery i am not sure how to check it but i would not suggest you to flash a new kernel right away just because i think thats the problem.

for your information, see this graph, 2 days with good standby, and then went from 95% to 35% in less than 20 hours

I have a problem with my phone. The battery precents gets low very fast. Its not problem with the battery because I checked it. Maybe I should change rom?
With a rooted phone you could try xposed framework and deep sleep battery saver. I have very good results.
Also check with wakelock detector that no process is hindering deep sleep.
S3 screen is consuming very much battery though.

I have friends with s3 and they have a lot battery precents at the end of day. My battery precents gets dwon very fast!

Have you had the phone for long? What rom are you running? Has it only recently started chewing the battery?
If you have installed any new apps since the battery was fine, maybe might to be to blame. Also some i9305's have issues with the antenna and will use up a lot of battery if you are in an area where the signal isn't perfect.
Also check what it says is using your battery in battery stats in settings.

OK, if internet and android system use up the most of your battery, then it sounds like you have a fairly high usage or some app(s) are running in the background, in which case changing roms probably won't make that much difference. Check out @MaHo_66 's guide for rooting/recoveries etc here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
This will start you on flashing etc. And check out the forums for info on the different roms. Other users will hopefully suggest ones to try
PS - read rooting guide carefully and follow the steps!!
If your ROM allows you to, try to deny "Keep awake" permission for some apps especially Google Play services. Otherwise you can use Greenify.

I think it's because Play Services is running in the background. Try restricting apps. Or you can try recalibrating your battery.

Yeah that's the use of "Google" apps obviously. Also restricting won't kill the app, it will just load notifications slowly. I mean you said also you change rom but still battery drain continues then yea, your battery might be displaying wrong percentage, calibrating it might help
I would suggest a clean install, to begin with, and mind what the developer says about the firmware needed. I am on ArrowOS 12L and can't tell any battery drain. Installed it 5 days ago and still have 20 odd per cent of battery left, waiting for the first full charge but I do not use any google apps/ services (gapps or else).
I really suggest also flashing latest Vantom kernel from telegram channel. first 4 days no battery drain on Pixel OS, at 5th day it started with 20-30% drain overnight. Then I flashed latest Vantom and until now, no problems anymore
Battery Calibration isnt really a thing anymore, modern batteries dont need it, google that info anytime, however, going into recovery and wiping cache etc, then turn phone off, fully charge battery to 100% before turning phone back on should correct any misreads. Do remember with modern Li Ion batteries, how you treat it will determine how long it lasts, maybe reading an article of 2 about how to look after your battery may help you to maximise its life, or in the end, you find you have a battery with the iphone issue, they end up only charging to about 80% on a full charge.

Just to add guys, its very important not to regularly completely drain your battery, that also can potentially damage it, always a good idea not to let it drop below 10% before fully recharging
I can recommend between 25 and 75 percent charging. In this way I've a old tablet with always display on (dim if not use) and acca charging controller in my house for house control, used 6 years without any problems (battery is still alive)
