Can anyone recommend a good way to monitor and control what is using the battery on this phone? In particular, background data-y stuff seems to suck battery power.

I've noticed on the battery monitor, Cell Standby has been draining some battery. I've read this has also plagued the GS3,any fix for my beloved N4? Btw I'm on Franco with Carbon ROM, Nova launcher as well.

Battery drain can be caused by many reasons. Download Better Battery Stats from the play store and find out more information.
It's possible something on your phone prevents it from going into deep sleep.

An alternative to BBS is Wakelock Detect. BTW, poor signal reception causes Cell Standby to suck out a lot of juice. Could you post a screenshot of your battery in settings?
Hey guys I am running the latest Paranoid Android with Francos latest kernel and my battery life is horrid.
If I get one hour of screen on time I am lucky. I am using custom color collaboration with the kernel and I am curious if this is playing a role.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Colors on the Nexus 4 doesn't affect battery life.
Most likely it's your apps that are draining your battery life. Turn off services like Bluetooth and GPS and WiFi.
Install wake lock detector to see what apps are eating your battery juice. Low signal or bad service can affect battery life as well.

How's your reception? Bad signal is a huge factor

Try using Greenify. Might help a bit.
why dont you use an older kernel and see, r111 was the best kernel i got with battery life.
I had nothing but problems with Franco kernel. My phone wouldn't charge unless it was on AC for one.

Getting 3.5 to 4.5 hrs of sot on Franco and illusion, a lil more sot time if I'm on WiFi.
Apps sometimes play a big role in battery depletion as well as a horrible signal.

try using joker kernel if anything other than franco
I'm getting really sucky battery life on the MIUI 5 rom latest as of 2/7/13. Anyone else getting bad battery life on this? I've had a look at betterbatterystats and it's not really listing anything as keeping the phone awake. Went from 95% to 75% in 4 hours (I know that doesn't sound so bad but I wasn't doing anything with the phone, just had a couple of messengers on it - Trillian and Steam)
You need to figure out what is keeping your phone awake. On Franco kernel I have very little drain when just using messenger etc. I would think you have a rogue app or something causing issues.

Can someone point me in the direction of a battery monitor that works? My best battery life has been around 9 hours and I need to see what is draining

Sorry if I'm a little late with my reply but I use battery drain analyzer & battery monitor widget. Between the two I get every piece of available data from the battery
Hellooo,
Do you guys reckon keeping Google location services on (not high accuracy) hugely affects battery??
Would you recommend leaving on just the GPS sensor or turning everything off??
Because I kind of like features brought by having location services on, but Im a bit afraid of the battery drain, and we all really need battery life
What are your impressions & opinions on this??
Thanks!
Honestly I haven't done some serious testing on that part, but as a rule of thumb, I disable the GPS since it logically makes sense that it'll drain some battery.
If you can't live without it - then why turn it off =D

I keep it always on (high accuracy) to use nice Google Now features, and the battery life is still very long! (i'm using Mahdi ROM but it was the same when I was on stock ROM)

How much battery life do you get? As in hours without charging and screen-on time?
If anyone else wants to share his experience and setting would be much appreciated!
When my phone is in the standby mode, the battery consumes 1% in 10 hours, but when i use it, the battery consumes 1% in 2 minutes
Why? It is there a solutions for the battery?

Do you have Better Battery Stats installed?
No, this is good or bad?

Can you show the battery usage screen?
And also use Wakelock Detector app to check which apps eat your juice.
Thanks for help

I'm using this rom: forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-galaxy-s5-stock-rom-final-fast-clean-t2888215
Can I suggest you get 'greenify' from Xposed.
Then use greenify to freeze all background tasks.
Perhaps there is something running while your phone is awake, just a suggestion. Probably not your battery if you get a good life when the screen is off.
Are you using any custom kernel, in case of increased voltage or high frequencies or an aggressive governor.
I use the kernel from omega v23. Can i find the default kernel from note III to flash to my rom?
Thanks

on me too.. if i play a game for a example battery drain so fast..i use stock rom for n900k .. but i have a question..i have a s4 charger 5v/1A and battery discarge if i play..or look on phone..internet etc.. i need a 2A charger? ..
as i can see android "android system " drains a lot of battery .... so if you are rooted you can you app master ( i have used it its a very nice app ) unistall some google apps you dont need or you dont use that much ( you can replace them with similar apps from the market ) also use greenify and any other app that can "clear" your ram i also use gsam battery monitor to check how much battery my phone drains in 1 hour
