[Q] 9305 - battery drain - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

hello people,
i am quite rookie to android, and i am very sorry, if i introduce myself with a silly question wish might be already answered clearly in an existing thread. but i couldn't explicitly find it, so i want to ask you.
is there a general difference in how much battery drain the 9305 have (in standby/ cpu-sleep) just depending on if an AOSP or a Stock-based ROM is used??
i tryed a lot with AOSP based ROMs, different Kernels and settings. But I never ever come under a consumption of apprx 3% battery drain per hour in standby.
Catching some phrases from people posting here using Stock based ROMs, it seems to me, the deal with a lot less drain.
is that true? and is "that" really the reason for the diff?
today i was also really surprised, when i saw my dads purely unmodified 9300 laying around unused. it showed 12% drain in standby.....after 1d 5h 20m. i know that the 9305 is a lil hungrier than the 9300.....but still i think: DAMN!!!!

It depends on ROM/Kernel/installed apps (wake locks). You can surely achieve the same performance like a 9300. I had really good experiences with stock based custom roms where i had just 5-7% drain over night which was brilliant.

to specify my question: there is no way around flashing back to a stock-based ROM for improving battery life, because AOSP based ROMs are all hungrier in general?

The big problem are the apps that you are using , i got 77% after 1 day and 7 hour's and did like 20 phone calls , watch 2 episodes of STAR TREK NG over lan and casual internet use (~30 minutes) and some pictures like ~10 until now , but i kill all apps and use clear memory every time i put the phone to sleep + 80% of time the screen is at low as possible, no smart function active and on power saving mode and s voice closed. I.m on 3G and love my battery!

Run Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks .

thanks a lot. i will give bbs a try. may i also ask which app do you use for killing apps and keeping the memory clean?

@futbol
are you running a stock-based ROM? i would assume so...
@ll
is there anyone out there running an AOSP-based ROM achieving a battery drain less 1-2%/hour by just killing apps and keeping the memory clean?

i9350 have a true issue with battery especialy in LTE coverge areas. No more 10 hours for me. Now i'm using JuicyDefender Pro : 49 hours

as i also see in ur signature, besides using the bat-sving app you are running a stock-based ROM... coincidence? Or is it true that the AOSP-ROMs are significantly more leaky/ "drainy"?

hi stephane,
thanks a lot for your reply. for me, the xtreme-ROM also belongs to the stock-based-ROMs

Jelly Bean definitely drains more battery then Ice Cream Sandwich, but I am not sure about difference between 4.1 and 4.2 versions. But sure, the most important is what apps do you have, and even how do you use them. Some apps sometimes drain batter and sometimes don't. I think that every time I enable location services to use Google Now network locator servise and some other related stuff really drains battery during first day or two, later it gets better. Anyway look for partial wakelocks on the first place when looking at Better Battery Stats.

Also check CPU states with BBS or whatever to see is your CPU goes to sleep or stucks at the lowest frequency. If you use some apps like viber, and your father doesn't, that could be the reason too.

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%.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
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

[Q] battery life of CM7, Bumblebee and mokee

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,,

flash stock rom and see if the problem persists. If it does return your phone and get a new one. You've got no other go!!!

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.

thx @ MintiIceCream
Assuming a healthy battery, the drain should be a bit lower (even on full screen brightness), try a full wipe, flash different rom and see if it helps, maybe battery stats are corrupted.
try using another modem, maybe JW1, by what i searched its should fix the battery drain problem.. (im trying it too right now)

High battery drain

I am using tha stock ics but the battery gets empty verry fast.
With 1 hour using Facebook With 3G the battery gets from 100 to 60 and less easily.
When I am not using it at night and With 2G it empties 10 easily.
Can anyone explain me where is the problem?
I am putting a pic with using viber and Facebook With 3G

Did you wipe the cach and dalvik??? Worth trying this to see if this resolves the issue but backup your files first.
If not then, back everything up and try and full device restore.
Is that a full stock of LG ics? I think not much you can do about that. Other than trying one of the custom ROMs and getting battery efficient kernels.

Stock ICS has pretty decent battery life..I`ll suggest you to calibrate your battery once and see what the result is..

Also here I report high battery drain.
Stock ICS ROM, rooted at first, then tried a battery usage data reset with no result.
Factory restore, same.
Wiped caches and dalvik cache (with CW recovery), phone bricked.
Un-bricked and reinstalled ICS stock, with CivZ_StormTrooper_rev3 kernel mod. Now with No Frills CPU & Juicedefender free, less than 10 hours without using phone (just data / h3g mode on).
First item in consumption list, "Android OS".
Any ideas?
Thank you
First. you should think about using an custom ROM based on stock. carburano Rom is Good but also Jishnu Sur´s rom is Awesome.
If you afraid to Root you Phone, it´s as easy a 1 2 3 nowadays just use this awesome Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Reason: Many of programms you don´t need are removed my first consumption is WIFI. So even if i have WIFI on all day, my phones is steady till the night.
Second. Reset Battery status in CWM
Third. You using a damn smartphone dont expect s**t that this will hold many days this is no Nokia 3210 BTW if you use it that means u use Battery Facebook BTW is one if the most active Programms i know. There´s "high drain" in Order.

No clues? I'm trying with a new battery but it takes some time to achieve full performance, but for now it's on 10 hours.
There are apps for choose apps and services running? Easy to use, possibly... Auto start manager is a pain... something like bum on linux

i like the ES-task manager with root permissions it shows you what could be blocked autorunning and what you should let active
Without changing your system you could give "Juice Defender" a try, just look up in Appstore. I have no experience with this app, but it trys to defend your juice
I handled it by using some custom rom (recommending 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1 -> better battery life so far, look up some CM 10 ROM)
in dev forum pengus77 is working on some awesome kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097788) that also raises battery life enormous.
with all that stuff my 2X works very nice since a few days.
BUT: read instructions befor you do anything please!

Hello guys and girls.
I am just interested about how much screen on time our phone can achieve so just share our records.
Anything doing like gaming watching videos using facebook and other apps so we can compare aour screen on times.
Mine on CM10 pengus with kowalski exp112 is around 2hours and 10 minutes.

i was always around 3h screen on
had only 2g on.
but when i was at home with wifi on, was some more than 3h
but the phone was already 1.5 years old when i go it. must now be 2.5years old. never changed battery (maybe because of that i had bad battery..)
now passed to the lg optimus l9 get every day 4h screen on time, great standby time.
ow btw i'm sending text messages hole day with go sms. (browsing the web is more battery friendly..)
Flashed PA ver. 8. and the battery life improved greatly.
Now i get about 3.15 hours with screen on an improvement of 50% over the cm10 unofficial of pengus.

Lol.that is placebo or user app related,you are using same kernel on both roms and only maybe few little batt. tweaks in tony's rom which don't make that much difference
Probably you had app battery drain couse there should be verry slight difference between this rom's in terms of battery usage
I have tested both,and the drain for me is the same...

Definitely NOT a placebo...
Just the same apps with battery stats checking out for an app that drains more on both roms and nothing special found.
For sure it wasn't an app issue cause i checked it many times.
