Your Android OS is draining your battery waaay too much. Does MIUI still have the Android OS bug? Reboot into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache, and continue monitoring the Android OS. It should be less than 10%.

Hi.
Thanks for the advice.
I did what u said. battery usage android os 31% and sys 29% but when i change for unplugged usage it shows sys 18% OS 9%. The previous is the total usage. Do u think its fine?

Hi, I'm using MIUI Mint Berry Edition 1.10.28 and the battery is very good, perhaps you should give it a try. Another trick is to delete google talk if you don't use it

???
you think google talk drein battery?realy?

I believe the default options in Google Talk is to have it login automatically. I never used it before, but when I first got an i9000 I remember going through apps I didn't use, and noticed that Google Talk—even though I never, ever used it—was signing it and staying signed in the entire time I had my phone. I quickly got rid of it (although you could probably just turn off the automitic login).

hi guys!
THX for the ideas but I got one yesterday from another forum. I just wiped in recovery mode the darwick memory or what and now its perfect. I charged the battery fully yesterday at 17:55. Was playing and using wifi ,still have around 20%.

wipe dalvik , wipe cash , format
then put miui on your sdcard and flash it
after that , clear dalvik cash and wipe cash partition again
calibrate your battery using battery calibration app ,
reboot.
the problem should be solved , but i must tell you , miui is battery HUNGRY and u will NOT get more than 3-4 hours screen time

You could try Juicedefender. That should buy you some time!

I find apps like this normally do the opposite, Just another service eating up CPU power. Also don't judge a ROM's battery from the 1st charge. Calibrate and the battery tends to settle.. Though IMO Cm7 ftw, 2 days usage from it

I sort of agree, but it depends on how much battery the app is saving you. Sure, it takes some CPU usage to be able to work, but if it's saving you 5x as much battery by doing so, then it's obviously beneficial. Lots of people swear by Juice Defender, so it must work as such.

Hello ppls. I've seen a lot of posts about high battery drain. I am wondering about my battery life.
So, i unplugged my SGS at 10am,said 100% when i unplugged it dropped to 96% (i read its normal, the protection against overcharge), left at 10.30 listened to 1h of music,15m of just twiking,writing 1 sms,at 13:30 already 59%
Faze II: 15m on facebook via wifi,wrote 5 sms,played 10 mins- 39%
III 1h music +10m gaming+ 15m twiking, at 8pm 20%.
IV about 5m of audio recording, and probabably about 10m of gaming->10% at 12:30 am next day.
No 3g, wifi only when using internet apps, using juice defender ultimate.
I'm using Darky's rom 10.1 . I bought the phone with this rom, and i can't flash a new one cause i can't connect it to my pc in anyway(same on other pc's too)
To the battery : Is this normal? Thx

[H]Gx v 20 problem!

The problem is the excessive consumption of battery, with all the tricks posted on the forum I have to charge the battery twice giorno.Con version 21 is being combined, or something I go back to version 18 which was better?

I use the v21 and bug in had spent a lot of brightness and battery after installing the ALFS v5 the bug brightness decreases 70% and the battery is much better
It's perfect for me
Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil

For what? Wasting bandwidth and time.
If you're connected to mobile data all day long, I used to charge twice a day also (especially on 3G network) on heavy usage. BUT if you're not, I'd suggest you to full wipe and start over. Recently I got 2-3 days of battery without data connected, some light game, several hour of music, calls and texts
edit: oh, also check if there's any application that make phone keeps awake although screen off. look in battery use in settings

hmm.. what does Android OS do? it seems eat my battery about 25%?

but script from master development better than it..

You need root permissions in order to use Battery Calibration, if i remember right.
In my personal experience i wiped only once battery stats, ad i did it via CWM. Remember to fully charge battery before doing that!

I'm satisfied with this.

JuiceDefender plus or ultimate are good (ultimate doesn't do too much more than plus other than lots of fine tweaking for those who enjoy it), and if you're rooted CPU tuner is excellent to customise frequency and governor management over the range of battery. I actually prefer the UI of CPU tuner to SetCPU, and it is free.

IMPORTANT: wiping battery stats doesn't do anything for your battery life!!!

Hmm battery calibration not extend the battery life it only display accurate reading of your battery, your battery consumption depends upon the appication you are using and stock, although is a good result of battery although stock app is good and heavy loaded but still it have good battery beacuse of its coding in framework.odex files and it also depends on your baseband like i am using under config files
Rom- The myth ICS beta2
Rom build- Custom Stock ROM
Baseband- Previous was DDKQ6 now XWKS2
App use to save battery- Power MAx pro
My usage Type Heaviest icludes -approx 4 hour wifi,Youtube movie approx 3 hours, always on 3g connection, games 30 min or less, Music played 4 to 5 hours Calls 10-15 min, Messaging 2 hours and my battery last upto 18 to 20 hour without compromise Thus by good baseband with Custom stock rom and app u save your battery i wll upload my screenshot too
So its a good deal for me

[Q] battery life of CM7, Bumblebee and mokee

can anybody who used all three of the roms comment on the battery life of these ROMS? how do they compare against each other?

im not one to say I have used all 3, ive only used CM7. it was good. actually even MIUI is good but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with betterbatterystats. that way you can optimize battery life regardless of whatever rom you're on.
I could go 1-2 days on my MIUI currently FR rom, moderate usage, all my syncs are off, i manually refresh for notifications.

What do you mean "but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with better batterystats" ? I usually dont have anything running in the background...

I have used CM 7, all MIUI, Lewa, and Mokee, and Ice BlacK too
In my view
1. CM7 have better battery life (but as I use to play 3 D games I won't prefer)
2. Second is Galnet MIUI, built by elol, decent battery life with good performance.
3. Third is Mokee, It is the best ROM for gamer and for others too who don't use to play game. It almost serve me for whole day with games, music and all mail, FB, Linkedin sync on for 24 hrs.

For me best choice is "Bumblebee" it's really a stable ROM and give's really great battery life, Best in which i have used.
In term's of Gaming this ROM is really great, it give's games extra smoothness to Game's by increasing FPS with help of it's new GPU derive.
This all make this ROM as my daily use ROM.

google xda betterbatterystats. download the app and follow the thread, those are uber battery sensitive people in the community.
so you manually sync all your apps as well? even calendar? and leave gtalk signed out?
wakelocks are what keeps the phone away from entering deep sleep. from the betterbatterystats app, if u see ur device entering 96% and above Deep Sleep after a night's full charge and allowed to idle, then good job, no matter what rom ur running u should be doing it right.
wakelocks are what cause a battery drain even when your phone is off idle while u sleep. it isnt only about background apps.

Yes,,I was use betterbatterystats,,I have managed all wakelocks and partial too,,it's give me battery life more time
But battery use info from setting doesn't change,,still give me "Android System" for highest % deal,,

post your dump here. and also at the BBS thread where u got the app.
so unless you are getting 96% and above deep sleep, id say you have not completely managed your wakelocks yet. also what are your governor and i/o scheduler settings? OC'ed at? do you have a screen off profile to lower clock speed when screen off?
battery use info may show that, but most important is u charge your phone to full, let it discharge while u sleep and wake up next day, OBTAIN 96% DEEP SLEEP OR HIGHER. figure out what are the wakelocks in BBS. if BBS is managed correctly, even if your android system is using highest %, no big deal, more importantly your battery isn't draining like mad.

How I am getting good battery life: A simple guide with some links and stuff!

I see a lot of people complaining about battery life, myself included. I have tried just about every ROM there is and used all the battery saving apps and I think I've found a winning combination that will leave you with a fast phone and good screen on/off battery life. My stats so far today are 8 hours off the charger with 1 hr 30 mins SOT and still 80% battery left and that's shifting between my work WiFi which has many access points and causes WLAN_RX wakelocks and the crappy signal around this area.
I use the phone for general stuff like browsing the web, playing the odd 2D game whilst bored and push notifications from various social networking apps and I have been addicted to achieving 7+ hours of SOT over 2 days since I owned a Galaxy S1 many years ago. Instead of writing a crazy guide I'll just keep this thread simple and post my current configuration that is giving me good battery life:
- BOE2 bootloader, modem and ROM (I'm using Nameless ROM v2 for 910G)
- Roughly 25% brightness, all sync on, location @ GPS only (High Accuracy only when using Maps)
- Followed THIS GUIDE very closely which gives amazing deep sleep and still get notifications with the Push Notification Fixer app
- Uninstalled Facebook and Messenger and use Tinfoil with Pushbullet and the RSS Feed and set to open Tinfoil when I get a notification: Here's how to do that
- Discharge fully to 0% and then turn on again to make sure fully dead, then charge to 100% to calibrate battery
Wallah! You should get good battery life now provided you use the phone for the same things I do. It's that easy!

You need to be rooted for most of that thread don't you? I need my banking app from time to time so I can't root. Gutted!
Joe

Thank you for taking the time to write this up, but you should mention in the thread title that you need to be rooted. Thanks anyways though. I'm not the type to root. If Samsung can't deliver a good product for the $800 device they made, the device should be returned (which will be my case if the 5.1.1 update doesn't come in July or it doesn't fix the issues I'm having with this device).

Fully discharging a Li-Ion battery is not healthy for the long term life of the battery.
When will the myth of "re-calibrating" a battery finally die?!?
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The shorter the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine. There is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life.

Smartphone batteries haven't needed to be calibrated in years. The only time you ever had to "calibrate" your battery was when your phone would sit at either 5% or 1% for hours before dying.
Even then you were calibrating your phones interpretation of the battery voltage levels, not the battery itself. Unless I'm very much mistaken battery charging is handled by integrated hardware, not software.
As a software bug overcharging a Li-Po is dangerous and completely avoidable

Huh? Never had a problem running official apps from two different banks.

I'm finding TW to be slightly better on battery under my circumstances - which consist of terrible signal fluctuation and rx_wlan wakelocks due to so many wireless arrays at work - however I will probably go back to CM12.1 soon or wait for Android M developer preview to be ported to Note 4 (fingers crossed) as I just love how stock and minimalistic everything is on stock droid CM and AOSP and it seems to be a lot snappier when combined with L-Speed mod.
