Well that translates to 33 hours of battery life so that's pretty good
This phone is different from others in that the lowest frequency (384mhz) is very high (my nexus 7 stays at 104mhz a lot), so minimizing the number of apps that make use of the phone when it's locked is key, as they would make it run at 384mhz, stamina mode is good with this but I assume you already have it on
So try to search for apps that use services that always run in the background and uninstall the ones you don't use very often

The same thing happened to my SP but only for 3-4 days after flashing a rom, then it was stable and the battery decreased from 100 to 15% after 2 days (light-use) or 24 hours (3G and Location based Wifi were on, without Stamina or Low battery mode enabled).
So, have u flashed rom already?

1% in 20 minutes when display is off. i charge my phone after 15-17 hours. that's how much it actually lasts.
Stamina mode is not enabled. i will try with it too in few days. thanks for the advice though

It's interesting to do experiment with these Mods, but sometimes we have to pay the price by time and even brick!

Battery eater JUST ON DATA USAGE

Hi
got big problem with battery life. But just when is on data usage. Not in plane mode and not on WiFi mode.
So last night set plane mode and go to sleep. Battery was on 42%. Woke up, turn off plane mod and turn on data usage. Battery was on 41% :good:
And did not touch phone screen in next 50 minutes. After 50 minutes turn on screen and battery was on 30%...then clean it with CleanMaster and HistoryEraser, reboot and battery was 20%?!?
So...in 1 hour with 2 minutes using 21% less
Once again...when is on WiFi there's no any kind of problem.
Did not said...just flash and ROOT stock BTU (british) unbranded ROM (from 24.10.2013. latest one) 5 days ago...and flash kernel for this ROM and flash recovery.
Found ROM and kernel on samsung-updates.com
I uninstalled many Samsung SW from phone and other SW i don't want to use.
Before BTU I had stock VIP (Croatia) and stock Taiwan ROM. And did not have problems with battery life.
Anybody can help?
Thank you
Check with Better Battery Stats app, and let me quess its RILJ that keeps your phone wake. No cure for that. Sometimes RILJ drains battery and sometimes dont, no matter what you do with your phone (somebody say its a Google location services blame for that, but I say its not, because I stopped it and still getting high RILJ wakelocks).

I'm sorry but when tried to install BBS it was so many malware there...so, when I will finished PC problems then will try BBS.
Thank you and I will post here when will instal BBS again.
EDIT:
Do I have to install BBS on computer? There is just .exe file...there's no .apk file i just can find .exe...and can't find .apk anywhere
I found BBS xda
And there's no any RILJ...when it's on Partial Wakelocks there's just BBS_WAKELOCK_WHILE_SAVING_REF and some other statistics but no RILJ
EDIT:
So..I found RILJ now but it's just started and it's 0,2%...will wait a while and then will post result

Standby Battery Drain?

Hello guys
First for all, hello, firsts post here, but I'm reading this forum for a while ago...
Second, please don't turn this thread a 'SP Battery rlz VS SP Battery sucks' xD. Actually, I'm satisfied with battery life in SP
Now... To the thread. One of u have seen something like this?

First high battery drain is normal usage, actually, I was testing some apps, however, second high battery drain is standby mode!, yes! standby!... It was the time I was sleeping xD
When I go to Battery Usage I found this
that f**king Google Services and Google+ are draining my battery.... Since I brought this new phone (last one was Xperia T, it was stolen :crying I saw a lot of times that damn Google Services consuming a lot of battery, and at Xperia T always Screen was the number one at this.
Anyone knows why this happens? there's a solution other wise turn off all google stuff?
Regards
PS: as u can see my native language is spanish, so sry if my english is not good xD
oh yeah... I'm at .254 Stock ROM
Hey,
before you sleep, maybe turn on flight mode just to go sure. If your phone is rooted you could also use greenify, if not, don't use it
You need to use the app 'Wakelock Detector' to find what is keeping your phone awake.
The amount of time your phone is awake definitely isn't normal
Also try disabling stamina mode
Thanks for your answers guys

Actually, turning off Wifi solves the problem, but I'm curious about why Google Services drain so much battery, also, this is not happening all the time

About that, stamina have some issues with Outlook, sometimes Outlook drain a lot of battery in standby, but only happen when I'm on mobile data, and also not always, with Google Services happen both on mobile data and Wifi...
I'll use that app, so let me install and see what happen, also I'll try siabling stamina...
Regards
I'm not sure if I has to use the edit button, but well...
Running WLD all night found this
searching a little, I found that the 'GTALK_ASYNC etc etc' is known that may cause battery drain.... and apparently is related with VPN.... The first image of this post I was testing that app 'Firewall sin root' that creates a false VPN to conrtrol all data... but now, last night I was not using that app and still happened...
I'm waiting for 4.3. update now, so I'll see what happen after that xD
Thanks for the answers guys

No its not a bug and its normal.
Blue hours (11 in your case) its based on how you use your phone and how much you use (how much screen is on, how much CPU do you use, internet connection type and time)... After all of this parameter get in calculation it gives you rough idea how long will your phone make it on single battery if you use it like you always do.

You are wrong.
Classic use of my phone (stamina activates when reach 35%)
Activating stamina :
Obviously the numbers are the same because my battery is close to low battery mode an stamina. Activating stamina doesn't change the numbers because the history of usage is the same.
Did you just updated to new firmware?
If so, do a full reset(exclude personal files)
Every new firmware you are recommended to do a full reset to fix bugs(like this)
I also can't understand where the problem is?!
The blue big numbers show the time the battery lasts under your normal usage.
The small numbers underneath it are showing the time how long the battery lasts when you left it in you pocket the whole time....

Question Battery draining a bit too fast

Hi!
I'm experiencing some battery draining problems for a few months.
Overnight it uses up to about 15% and during the day with about 1h30min SOT it's down like 30%. I factory reset it, debloated it, dark mode on, Naptime with aggressive doze mode on and restricted almost all apps from running in the background with no difference.
I'm running on 12.5.4 global. Sometimes cell standby uses as much as 500 mAh.
When the battery is full it says "about 52 h 34 m left" no matter if I'm using fast or slow charging. Is this normal? I'm attaching some screen shots.

No. Unfortunately this seems to be the worst phone I have gotten so far and it's one of the expensive ones I bought. I also have problems with it not updating even though I did factory reset and tried to use select update package.

I have flashed the latest Lineage OS a week ago and the battery life is very good! The best of all MIUI or AOSP ROMs I have flashed to the moment!
At night the phone is in sleeping mode and the battery at morning is almost the same as it was at the evening, with WiFi, Bluethoot and Location switched ON - I haven't really tested how much exactly percents it tekes during the night, but I think that it's not more than 2-3% for the night.

Below are some stats from the latest Lineage OS
3% for almost 8 hours
I didn't get any problems with the Alarm and the deep sleep mode!
Overnight drain is too high. It's 10% even after enabling scheduled power off/on feature. Phone remains powered off for 4-5hrs at night still 10% of overnight drain is too much
2% here for more than 8 hours
That's aosp bruh. I should switch soon.

Question Sudden battery drain on cherishOS

Hello, this is my first post on xda so sorry for any mistakes.
I've had CherishOS 3.9.5 on sweet for a good while now and this problem started a month ago.
Device does not go into deep sleep at all, idle drain is so high that it doesn't even make sense.
For example today, when i went to sleep, i closed all apps and turned off the mobile network. There was a drain from 57% to 19% over 6 hours.

I rooted my phone and installed betterbatterystats for further investigation and found this
I found this today. Previously i scoured through forums for a similar issue and found that disabling double tap to wake should fix the issue. I did that and it did fix the battery, but only for 2 days and then it went back to the god awful drain. It's a real pain to have my phone charging all the time.
Any help is appreciated and I can post anything further if I missed anything here. Thank you
What Kernel u use? Had this issues too with different Kernel and Versions, but with AGHISNA-OSS-12-03-2023-signed seems all fine and working decent.
Give it a try, i wont touch my Kernel for a while, because never touch a running system.
Attached is the Aghisna OOS for LQ8000. If u have that other Chargingboard, u have to search on Sourceforge for it.

And kill the battery in the process. Another reason to avoid google.
calibrat your batterie try to using your phone until it turns off completely and wait 3 hours while it is turned off after that plug in without turn it on until you see 100% icon battery in the dark page and try to give it another 3 hours after that plug out and power on your phone and use it until 15% ..and voilĂ  your batterie is fresh and calibrate and happy
Update to Cherish build 4.61 not newer nor older
this precise build specially the vanilla one with nikgapps core is very satisfieng combination with superb bb and barely noticable drain
try it and report back
ps: clean install is a must to have the best results
Good luck
