Are you using a custom ROM? If yes which one?
Generally it's a normal thing to see your battery drain faster when you use (Wi-Fi/GPS/3G).

Yes i use Cm 11 23/08 nightly

GPS + Data + display consume a lot of battery
I used google maps and in 30 min it lost about 15-20% battery...
Maybe with other rom it'll be better. Actually I have KK from Mackay

Use this app to see what keeps your device awake and then use the privacy guard to adjust your apps accordingly. I saw a big improvement when I disabled some apps that were waking my device up all the time.
But you can't really do anything to stop the battery consumption when you use GPS/3G/Wi-Fi.

Battery

I have 3 main things killing my battery life...
Display, idle and cell standby...any settings adjustments recommended?

Additionally, what do people feel is the best way to run Collins battery tweak
I am running cm 6 rc1

Something else is killing your battery, that's just telling you the % of it while the phone is turned on. Download spare parts and see what it is.... as far as collins batt tweak I used 768mhz and get 90+ hours
I have spare parts...what kinds of things should I be looking for

Anything showing a high % under "partial wake usage?"
Also, I use "Dimmer" form the market to keep my screen brightness down. I set it all the way down (using quick settings shortcut) for when I am inside and when I go outside or into a bright room I have it set to increase to 25% when I toggle the dimmer shortcut on my home screen. I thought the auto-brightness was making it higher than it needs to be in most cases.
Everything seems low under partial wake usage...

Here, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762139
Seems like many others are reporting bad battery loss from CM6 -- looks like it has something to do with the display...it might not be properly "sleeping" even if the screen is off. Don't know if there's a fix yet but that other thread at least has some useful information in it.

Battery drain xxjvp

Anyone know why Google Services has such high usage percentage in battery use(almost 50%)? A solution maybe?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm on jvp and have got no drain problems yet. Does it go away after a reboot?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
no it doesn't. It shows that Google Services is running,and the processes are Network Location and Google framework.. I can't unninstall the framework,because i can't use the market after.
If a simple reboot doesn't fix it then if you wanted yo you could do a factory reset using this code *2767*3855# in phone dialer. This will delete everything on the phone and reinstall the firmware. But it will delete everything! Also any lagfixes should be reverted back to rfs before using this code.
There maybe another fix but that's all I can suggest for now.

Did you just flash the rom? It is expected that Google Services will consume an unusually high battery after flashing. It is because google account has to sync data from phone to its servers and vice versa. Let it run for a few hours or until the initial battery runs out. After that I think your rom's battery usage will "settle down".
Battery drain seems to be fixed with 2.3.4 for me.
Do you have Latitude activated?

+1, i have one day on Stock JVP with SpeedMod kernel and battery life is rock solid! about 1-2 % per hour in stand by.
This is the 3rd day with xxjvp. My latitude is unninstaled.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
install cpuspy and see. It says it is good for monitoring those processes,. My battery drain is due to overworking android OS,,,haven't figured out a solution yet.
I flashed it again.

I have this same problem, I hope this works for me too
wow.. 1-2 % per hour in stand by?? i think something wrong with my battery.
I unplugged at 9.00 am and drain sooo fast.. 15% left at 1.00 pm!
but with 2.3.4 with speedmod kernel it can last up to 6 hour.. still this is not like others right? I
You must wipe the sdcard because it might have things from previous roms

[Q] Strange battery stats/usage

Hello everyone.
Battery usage menu on my LG 4x shows that majority of battery is used by "android system" its like 70%, while screen shows 2% usage. On my other android devices that i owned it was like 10% max(android system process). Do u think its normal?
PS. My battery goes down rly fast on lg 4x hd.
Try disabling DRM services, i got that usage when the processor is at full power anyway
Drm service disabled, lets see In few hours. Moreover i have all the time about 600 mb ram in use, any1 can tell me what for?

don't think theres anything wrong with your phone. The usage screen shows two things: app usage and other usage, afaik the app usage only shows how much of the battery is used by different apps (android system, viber, youtube, etc) and other usage shows usage related to network, and since youre in airplane mode, it doesnt have anything to show under that category.
Try using a couple of other apps, such as youtube or music for 15 minutes, im sure theyll show up under the app usage after that. And also take your phone off airplane mode, and im pretty sure after a couple of hours the other usage category will have things such as "phone idle" or "cell standby"

If you have the same problem even with the stock firmware then the problem might be with the battery. Batteries that are old (2+ years of continuous use) sometimes overheat and don't last for long.

How long does your battery last (low, normal and high usage)?
If your battery is new then it might be a software problem. Check how many apps run in the background.
Did you also flash gapps? If yes which version (small, full etc)? The problem might be with Google search as it is most of the times (if not always) active and asking your device for your location. This results in wakelocks.
The solution is to remove the Google search permissions (go to Privacy Guard, and check Show built-in apps).
Also try and (optionally) turn off location history and reporting.
Another solution is to use Wakelock Terminator.
I hope this helps.

In your case (3G, Facebook etc.) 10 hours of battery life sounds normal. There is nothing wrong with your device.
