The thing is, that I'm having this issue for a while now. Battery drains extremely fast both on stock, stock + ext4, cyanogenmod, no matter what. Now I decided to install the stable version of Darky 10.1, but it's just about the same... It's like it drops 2-3% percentages in couple of mins (~10m). I'm using my phone at minimum brightness (btw, display uses 9%! only of the battery), no OC/UV, no animations, only 2g, no wifi, no gps, no account sync, so I'm like really trying to get more...
Okay, and here comes the thing: It used up 70% of the battery in less than 5 hours, and the battery stats looks like this:
Android OS 62%
Android system 10%
Display 9%
Cell standby 5%
Phone idle 2%
Dialer 1%
Dead Rider (just a game..) 1%
In my opinion, everything looks great, but the Android OS. Now what the *** is that, that this crap uses 62% and growing ?! PLease help, thanks!

Hmmm what apps r u using ? how many apps do u have installed ?
Did u buy ur phone used or from new and if u got it from new did u do the over charging for 16 hours or more ?
android OS is a huge problem for battery drain with a few causes and plenty unknown.
to fix it completely will require some skill full people from a closed source.. Download an app such as juice plotter or similar to find out a cause of the battery drain.
there are things you can do such as undervolting for extra battery life.
But the best thing to do is type in Android OS battery drain, in the search bar and have a good read up. i had this mega battery drain a few weeks back but i have it under control now

Charge your phone till it reads 100%, reboot into recovery and I think in Darky's Kernel under advanced you will see wipe battery, do this, boot your phone and let it charge back to 100%, then unplug your phone, let it die to 0 and charge again.....something weird is happening because it shouldn't be that bad....if the above doesn't work and you can rule out apps possibly you have a bad battery?? To rule out apps, wipe everything and do a fresh install of a stock ROM if it still drops then i would say it's a bad battery, but try what I suggested first (wipe battery stats)
The last maps upgrade causes bettery drain....
how to slove this problem?
Hi!
I have the exact same Problem..some say this is a bug in the gingerbread versions and can only be solved by samsung...is this true? Any ideas?
Well, I've had a pretty big read-up on it, and tested it myself, what's more tried out other things too. So I came to a conclusion, that this is absolutely true. It's said to be enough the 'freeze' the apps that cause this problem, but it's just not true. With frozen, they somehow still did it. So here's what I've done, and it looks like solved (far not as good battery life as 2.2.1, but still, at least acceptable...):
- format internal sd card
- removed the suspicious apps (msyncml, syncml, it depends on your rom, the important is, that it has "sync" it its name, and NOT account sync!)(I also removed Samsung account, and everything **** that I didn't need)
I'm having BUJV9 on right now with newest FuguMod and it looks good.
It does not mean Android OS is using 62% of your battery over the time in question .
Its a measure of what has used the power not the power drain on the battery .
Though useful on a heavy drain as your figures show display off OS using a lot but what time span at the top of your figures ..
I would guess from figures posted you have something working away in the background . A factory reset usually cures that problem .
Or find the culprit .
PowerTutor from the market may help .

I was having the Same Problems with Battery Drain. (Dropped 70% in 6 Hrs.)
It is related to 2 Services on Gingerbread.
Software Update & Samsung Account.
Clear Data and Freeze Programs using Titanium Backup and Your Battery should be back to Normal.
Huge drain on battery SGS i9000 android gingerbread v.2.3.3
I did like some other users have done I quess!?!
I upgraded via KIES from earlier version of android. After upgrade I did a reset to factory settings, but didn't set the "Format USB storage".
I installed a few programs and used the phone for a few days. After short time of usage I noticed that the battery drained really fast. Like 20% within 1 hour or so. Normally 20% battery drainage happens in a day with little use.
Then I thought something must have gone wrong with the last upgrade. Many time the tip is to clear the phone again and this time I set the "Format USB storage". It worked. Now the battery drains about 30 percent during a normal day with little use.
Since I have a backup of everything, I just installed the backup so the phone is back to normal again.
I hope this might lead to solving battery drainage issue for other users or at least and idea of what could be wrong.
First of all, I do not trust this solution, but it work to me
Solution is simple, remove your memory card from the phone
That is all
After check, found that the scan media always running to scan the memory card
This might deal to corrupted card
People say backup the data from memory card, format the card, put back the data
I haven't try format the card
But after my phone remove the card, now already 13 hours, I still have 82% and I did few phone call as well
there is an app by the name of battery calibration...follow instruction from within the app and it should solve the problem of android OS drain .. i shifted from darky 10.1 to MIUI 7.7 and 100% to 30% in 3 hours with normal usage and no wifi .. after this app battery lasted for two complete days ... so try it
There is another MORE SERIOUS BUG in ALL GB ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134741
After full charge in GB, phone start using batteries ONLY instead of CHARGER ONLY like in Froyo and lower version builds.
Samsung folks goofed up BIG TIME by making phone use batteries instead of charger after full charge while stopping the charge cycle. Because of this OS thinks its running on CHARGER (or USB POWER) and shows batteries as full charge when in reality it runs on batteries after full charge and will eventually make the phone dead through full discharge of batteries.
You could test this by keeping the phone connected to the charger after full charge for a prolong period. When you disconnect, based on the usage during that time, the batteries will instantly show lower charge than around 100% (could be close to 0% as well depending on usage after full charge if you disconnect charger before phone going dead at 100% drain).
Did you flashed Darky in 100% battery? The tutorial suggest you to do that. You can try to wipe battery in recovery mode.
Is anyone else having bad battery life after the update? Cell Standby and Phone Idle used to draw most of the power before the update, now they're low on the list however Android OS is eating all the juice now. Android OS gets up to almost 70% usage overnight and the battery drains a good 30% or more just sitting idle for 6 hours.
I installed a program called watch dog and it's telling me that "Base System" seems to be the culprit with lots of CPU use, particularly when the phone is idle. I've tried a variety of things like uninstalling recent apps I downloaded, disabling the 4G and 3G radios, trying airplane mode, changing settings, etc. and nothing has made a difference. Really want to avoid trying resetting to factory default.
Have you tried recalibrating the battery or tried bump charging?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Since I use my nav dock in my truck to stream Pandora over my stereo, it gets charged several times a day; however, Android OS is now my big drain as well, where it used to be idle or screen using the most. Since unplugging exactly two hours ago, it has drained down to 70% on the stock battery. (I only use my extended battery when I will be away from a charger for a long time. Makes the phone too thick for my pocket to be comfortable.)
On a seperate note, Google Voice now hangs my screen as well when listening to voicemail. Hey, at least I don't get the random reboots and power ups... :what:

I doubt calibrating will fix the issue because I don't think that's the problem. A system process appears to be hanging and causing the CPU to run constantly. Maybe a bad update install?
Either way I used to get much better battery life before the update. Never had any of the random reboots or many issues with data like others.
My battery life seems somewhat worse after the update. Everything else seems somewhat improved.
My battery seems about the same if not slightly better after the update.
I do a few things to conserve battery which really conserve the battery.
1. 4G off unless I need it.
2. Battery mode set to 'maximum battery saver'.
3. WiFi sleep policy: When screen turns off (although I think the maximum battery saver will turn it off automatically)
4. Display brightness: 0% unless I need it.
Hi Everyone
anyone have any idea why this might be happening or how I go about finding out what the offender is. So far
Phone up for 4 hours and 26 mins
Battery left 67% Screen used for 33 mins (4.3%)
App usage 93.4%
When I go into this
Kernel OS is using 33.4% battery
system wakelock (media server) 18.7%
Spotify 12.6%
Android system 4.3%
the rest are below that
Anyone have any ideas what it could be..... i've done a fatory reset seems to make no odds, what should I be looking for ?
Thanks for the help
anyone .... please
Use better battery stats to ID the bugger eating the battery...
I always thought Gsam was better than BBS from what I've read? I'm having the same things eating my battery as the op though.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
Well I just looked at my phone again. Seems like spotify likes to wake lock the system and thus keep media server on (my assumption). going to try to shut the system down tomorrow and see if I can't get more time doing that. I can't figure out the rest of the OS either. right now I'm at 15:55:48 with 35% left. Power saver options on except for vibrate. 2 hrs screen time. wifi 7 hrs and radio the whole time.
Battery life over night was pretty dam good it dropped 4% in 8 hours
Lately I feel like my battery life has gotten worse. If I check my battery stats, it shows Google Services consuming a major portion of the battery, typically 25%-35%. I've also found my battery life has gone down to about 25% left after 16 hrs being unplugged and only 1.5hrs of screen time. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?
I have this occasionally happen with Google Services. For some reason, it just starts holding the phone awake all day and the only cure I have come up with is a reboot (other than opting out of everything Google).
Try disabling GPS for the day and see if that helps.
I just sideloaded 5.1 and I use Battery widget pro.
After 5.1 when I unplug my device this widget tells me I have 8 hours of battery left.
Even on 5.0 my battery seemed pretty poor but at least it would be at 12 to 14. I just don't get how it can be that bad.
Sometimes after turning it off then back on the battery level will adjust to something higher.
Is this possibly an app issue draining my battery? Anyone have any tips suggestions?
Best,
Ryan

Let it run for a day and see how much battery life you actually get. Maybe let it drain all the way out once and recharge it to 100%. I know when I ran custom ROMs on my Nexus devices, it would take a couple of days before the battery stats adjusted and displayed correct info. I once had a battery meter say 1% for about an hour before my phone died after switching to a new ROM.
How did it go? I noticed massive battery draining wakelocks on 5.1, related to phone and location. Without Xposed I don't know how to control them.
Cheers!
