Extreme battery drain - HTC Incredible S

Battery doesn't last with me for a whole day with 3 hours and a half of screen usage
On cm7
Same with new jellybean rom unofficial CM10
What could be causing that??
Thanks in advance

none of these custom ROM are optimized for battery.. i have tried a couple of them..
you can give 'Easy battery saver' from google play a shot.. it is a good tool and can help you in optimizing the battery..
BTW what do you primarily use your phone for?

Not 5% for that short period of time.
Something is seriously wrong dude, download betterbatterystats and run it a bit and see what drains so much. Either your battery is bad or you have some app that drains a lot battery in background.

Can someone please guide me on how to use betterbatterystats?? I installed it but I don't know how to make it work :s

Go uninstall facebook.
it made my incredible S last like, 3 hours longer
and my nexus 7 battery life went from 3 days to 4 days

3.5 hours of screen on time is a lot, id say at almost lasting a whole day you're doing pretty well?

Battery drain

I'm having a problem with my phone not going into deep sleep, I've tried reboots and stopping background processes, it didn't help. Any ideas?

Try betterbatterystats from store then see what's actually happening behind the scenes.

Why are you complaining? You got more than 17 hours from only 35% battery loss! I get maybe 15 hours with 100% battery loss -_-
But to help your problem, install an app called greenify. It allows you to block certain apps from being active in the background.
I usually lose about 5% tho after 12 hours with everything off

I'm getting 25% drain after about 9 hours of deep sleep on the newest Slimbeaan 4.1 release. I seem to remember only having 5-10% drain overnight on the first few builds. Is my battery dying or is it the newer builds?

Are you sure you mean 4.1 or 4.2 which has recently been released? The battery drain on 4.2 ROMs is an issue right now, although 4.1 isn't a whole lot better either.

I switched onto the 4.2 bandwagon a while ago and just recently reverted back to Slimbean 4.1 as I had remembered having great battery life on it. But after flashing and using for a few days, it's really not that much better. I still lose about 20-25% overnight on both 4.2 and 4.1 on the stock battery.
Well I just noticed something, it clearly says 17 hours, I assume on a 1+ year old battery am I correct? If so, then why are you complaining!!! Lmao you have Fantastic battery life!!!!

17 hours?
I'd be interested to know what ROM, etc. the OP is using to get 17+ hours of battery life out of this phone. Is it an extended battery? I'm getting pretty poor batter life after recently switching from Peach to Slimbean 4.1.2. Greenify seems to help.

If you have noticed, most people with good battery life seem not to use the phone to make calls. I think searching for a network drains the battery

Try benz rom. It has good battery life and performance.

You can give it a try to a new rom if you have rooted your device, if you haven't you can install juicedefender from google play to optimize your battery life and optimize your time while surfing the web with chrome.

Need identification/diagnostic help. (Battery)

My GE HTC One has been having horrible battery life the last few days. Android System and Mediaserver have been slaughtering my battery within an hour and i want to know why. My possible thoughts are
Snapchat +Keepchat xposed extension (it saves all snaps to your internal mem)
Or settings issue?
Im exhausted and was hoping someone could give me advice to wake up to and try out tomorrow.
(BTW, its not partial wakelocks (caused by apps) because i got an xposed app that lets you disable wakelocks per app, and i knocked out any indecent wakelocks).
All help will be thanked!!!

about all I can suggest is that you wipe everything and flash the rom with stock kernel.
add apps one at a time and you should be able to work out what's using your battery.
I quit using snapchat and keepchat, it helped alot.

So ive been doing some reading, and apparently android 4.4.2 (across all devices) has a bug causing 100% cpu and battery to be diverted to the camera once an app has opened it. Google is aware, and working on a update. Should restore things to the way they were normally
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not all devices, just those where the camera uses a Qualcomm chipset, such as the Nexus 5.
Google releases software updates to the Nexus 5. They do not release updates to the HTC One, HTC does. Even for the GPE.

I was having the same issue, but I tried an Homeversion that has battery saver http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487526, it is amazing I am getting 20 hrs aprox. you should give it a try!
Provide a prove before you tell such things
Sent from my N1 using Tapatalk
With omniswitch activated my battery stands at least 24h,,,but when i accidently put it off,,,my battery suddenly stands 48 h and the phone consumed only 45% in 24 hours.Is this convincing enough!!! And by the way,the using mode is the same in both cases.

In many cases that's pure coincidence.
I mean - do you see it appearing in battery stats?
It's pretty much impossible for an app that doesn't hold wakelocks to have any significant effect on battery life.
