How old is the battery? You can pick up OEM Samsung replacements for like $7.00 on amazon. I have 3 myself.

Have you tried using a different kernel? Matr1x and marmite work best for me!
Well running pacman rom with matrix so gonna see how that does

Did you turn off auto-sync?
Looks normal to me lol... I'm getting horrible life... My 4G never turns off and I'll get maybe 3hrs screen-on time... Running stock 4.2

since you're talking about battery issues, idk if this is "normal" or not, but just now, my battery was at 38%, so i started to plug it in, tried doing a reboot and when it finished rebooting within seconds, all of a sudden, the battery jumps up to 60%...i think my phone's battery is fu**ed up

that always happen to me too ... deleting stats isn't usefull ... maybe it's a battery problem ... my battery isn't perfect but it can make about 2 - 2.30 screen on time and a total of 14 hours all sync active ... a newer battery could give me probably some more juice
Yea same result running matrix so I think its the battery
Hopefully.....

using straight aosp 4.2 with any kernel gets me at best, 5 hours of standby time. I noticed this about a month ago and immediately started looking for ways to prolong my battery life. What seems to be working best for me is disabling mobile data when I'm not using it. Just this one setting gives me a boost from 4-5 hours in standby to well over 12 hours of normal use (of course, with the exception of any web service). I have come home from 13 hour shifts and still had 30-40% battery left several times!! However, this only happens if I disable mobile data.
Something needs to be done....and QUICKLY!!! My phone is pretty damn well useless for anything involving internet connectivity unless I'm using wifi
btw, my battery is about 14 months old.
I'm pretty sure the battery drain is from 4.2, when I was running 4.1 I had no issues

Alright I wasn't going to make a thread on this because this topic is already discussed elsewhere naturally but I feel my situation is different. All over the place I see people reporting great battery life with ICS.. well mine is HORRIBLE. I just flashed the latest nightly for Pete's bugless. I didn't change the kernel. Everything is stock. Only a few apps installed. Noop for scheduler and ondemand for governer.
The phones been off the charger for 55 minutes and I'm sitting at 76%. Idk what's going on. I've tried so many rom/kernel combos and I seem to get the same exact battery life no matter what. Around 6-9 hours with less than 1 hour of screen on time.
Things I've tried to combat this:
Undervolting
Freezing apps
Restricting background data
Underclocking
Brightness set to auto
And I'm sure a few other things I'm forgetting about. I've done all this and still get ****ty battery life. I've flashed the new radio hoping that it would solve my issues but no dice. My signal strength reports at -67 dbm yet the bars never go over 2. 3g or 4g. Even after updating plr.
On gingerbread cm7 I ran brightness at 70%, ocd to 1.4ghz and always got 15+ hours.
For the love of god someone help me. Cuz I think my phone hates the cream sammiches.

try this kernel, trinity teuv underclocked/undervolted kernel, oc'd gpu http://goo.gl/rY6ga
and do not set brightness to auto, its a battery killer. i keep my brightness at about 20-25%.
also, be sure to fully discharge your battery then charge it completely, after 2 or 3 cycles you should be good.

I do this every day lol I let the battery drain to around 15-30% before I plug it back in.
Screenie: 1 hour later and I lost another 25% this can't be rom or kernel related. As I have tried trinity already and the same thing happens
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Ugh. Another 20% gone. Its only been a half hour from the above screenie. You guys see my dilemma? Lol **** me.

i was having horrible battery drain after flashing a new rom & kernel - i finally figured it out that my APN settings were messed up and I re-entered them according to the correct carrier settings.
i don't know if that will apply to you since it looks like your 4G data is working properly, but since I was on wifi 99% of the time, as soon as I went off, my data didn't work. but it's something to look at.
4 hours later I'm down to 4% from a full charge.

Could you try better battery stats to see if something is holding a wakelock?
Turn Data usage off :/ i think Fb or some app is using your 4g

I would be interested to see what your battle life diff is without 4g switched on. Also in that 4 hrs what was ur screen on time?
Have you thought of trying a new batt? Just got an OEM Samsung for 5 bucks on eBay. Worth a shot.
Oh remove fb app it blows...install friend caster way better less batt make sure you change the sync interval.
You could also try green power from the market to manage your data use while screen is off.

Ok here's how my battery performs back in cm7 nightly 174 gingerbread. Almost 4 hours and only 25% chipped away. If you look above you'll notice I lost more than 40% in the same time with ics. And I'm doing nothing different. I'm even overclocked to 1.3ghz ondemand with noop for a scheduler.
I think I'm sticking to gbread until official source is out. Maybe then ill get the same battery life.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
That is really weird, if you have time try Milestone 3 and SG's latest kernel and just leave the settings stock . I get wonderful battery life with it hopefully you do to
Oh and are there any apps you are using on ICS that you aren't on CM7?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Nope. Lately its only been a handful. I actually have more apps installed on gbread to achieve some of the features that are baked into ics. I just don't get it. Ics hates my phone. I even used the GPS today. So weird.

This. If you are installing the same ol battery-draining POS app then you are not going to fix it with any rom or kernel.
So you guys think my batter watcher widget is preventing my phone from sleeping properly? Ok.. I'm on cm7 right now. Battery is def back to normal. And this is with bacround data on. Ill delete bw and get better battery stats.

Better battery stats is not the same thing as other (mostly useless) monitoring apps.
Look. 16 hours on gb. If none of my apps are killing the battery then what could it be?

Hi guys,
Is anyone else get terrible battery life with 3g and data on even on standby? I believe the phone function drains the battery and it lasts only 2 days or so on standby. I constantly have the tab on flight mode with wifi enabled and battery is much improved to about 1 week standby. Anyone else? I am on stock 4.0.4.
Thanks
Wtf r this guy even serious? I wish i had 1 day standby, what a joke

Hi Iong. We are talking about a tablet here, not a phone. Tablets should have 1 week standby at least. The battery drain with 3g and phone on is unacceptable. I think the reason is the connection to phone signal which is constant.
Mate 1 day pr 2 day standby is a lot, given the fact you install many program and it constantly connect to tinternet to check for updates notifs etx. You dont have 1 week standby whatsover, forget it. Big tablet big baterry big screen. Ot all goes scaling together

So 'l2_hsic' and 'batt_work wake lock' are the 2 processes keeping my table awake for 5 hours in total since yesterday. Any idea of what these do?
Thanks

most likely is that one or more of your apps is causing the problem. try a reset and see if the problem goes away. if it does, install apps one by and and check which one is the problem
Use juice defender ultimate in tablet mode. I can go several days idle time and lose almost no battery.

Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

Hi, I've problem with battery. Yesterday when I go sleep have my phone 93% battery. After 6 hours when I woke up I look at the phone and there was 91% battery - thats not bad but after 10 minutes SOT it dropped down to 87%. And it was dropping twice by 2% down in a moment. I'm using Franco M3 and PA 3.60. Is it normal? That's not first time. But normally when I'm using phone during day it not happen.
it might just have been because it didn't hardly go down at all in those 6 hours. That's happened to me before where I left it for a while and the battery didn't go down and when I started using it it went down faster than normal. Not sure what it is

I'm still having huge battery issues no matter the ROM and kernel I use...
I have tried looking at battery apps that determine what's sucking up the battery but half the time it just says screen or WiFi. So it got me thinking, is it WiFi? I leave WiFi on, which was never and issue like a month ago or ever on my previous androids...but now all the sudden it seems to be the cause? I woke up to find my phone at 50% from 100 within 5 hours...of no use just WiFi turned on and set to only stay on when plugged in...so I could really use some help guys...

Simple solution - turn Wi-Fi off and see if it fixes the battery issue. Possible it is but to draw 50% that quick you'd have to be far away from the Wireless AP. In most cases that's very unlikely.

ya look at that.....but when you have small charges in between that dosent fully charge you.... you can make it run for ever...... the timer dosent reset untill you hit full charge. i agree with garwynn but ide also check your battery for swelling. ive had my wifi on all day (didnt realize it) and ive not had but mabey a 15% drain from it (5h28m to be exact).
