Slacker radio and excessive battery drain

Last two times I've ran slacker, it freezes up on me and doesn't exit properly and causes excessive battery drain, like 1% per minute.
Even while running it, it seems to consume a lot of battery sometimes. And the processor is pegged at max setting while its running. 1017 mhz today, to be exact. This is both streaming and cached content.
Anyone else notice this? I installed watchdog to see what was causing it, and this is what i found, even after exiting the app from the menu. Yes, it shows at running in the taskbar cause I turned it back on after I shut it down.

In case it matters, I'm running inspired ace 1.0.1 and mdj's 17 kernel, running at 1017 max and on demand scaling.

excessive battery drain
I have been having issues with this as well. Slacker is constantly running, and must be force closed from the settings> applications menu. Battery drain is roughly 3% a minute while unplugged, and 1-2% even while plugged in! I love slacker, but this is no good..
The problems seemed to have started for me when Slacker was updated with the Ford Sync service. Killing just the ford sync service seems to improve battery life substantially as well, but presents problems in using the slacker app sometimes. (N1 running CM7)

Check your radio and Ril to make sure they matching... it could cause battery drain.

4.1.1 Exchange battery drain and intermittent notifications

I've never had any problems with my Nexus S until my battery took a hit with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1 it's being a total pain in the ass.
For reasons I cannot figure out Exchange goes nuts. I turned sync off and didn't even check email yesterday but my battery had 10% left after 5 hours. With Gingerbread my screen was almost always the #1 battery user but since then others have taken away the crown. Exchange or Mediaserver with Android OS being runner up if not finishing first on occasion. I've been consciously trying to not use my phone for much because using it for much of anything means I'm down to like 3 hours on a charge. The phone never goes to sleep, the "Awake" bar is solid or a very intense bar code while the screen is more black space than anything by a large margin.
I am also finding that sms notifications aren't notifying me like they should be. Like I received a text 30 mins ago that I didn't know about until I went in and checked and seen one there waiting. Notifications are enabled. But I don't get the sound or the notification in the notification bar.

I flashed JB stock soju 4.1.1 (JRO03E) and I am having amazing battery life as you can see in the image with mild usage of 3 hrs 25 min screen on time. Usually with active use of browsing on 3G I reach 4 hrs screen on time.
I also don't have any problem with notifications.

somebody please tell me why is that? and how do i get more life out of my battery?

Maybe your phone only goes up to 9 hours...

Maybe it's kernel related.. Are you on custom rom already?

My Droid on a JB ROM has the Android OS consume about 90% of the battery and it dies after 8 hours of screen off time, airplane mode. *shrugs* if anyone has a solution id like to know.

This has probably to do with something that is running in the background.
your phone apparently doesnt go into "deep sleep mode" Only in this mode you lose just few % per night.
I recommand to shut off your phone, take out the battery for a few seconds, put it back in, charge it in one go, then turn it on again. See what happens.

You can, of course, sleep with the charger in.

Welcome to Android, for the most part, our battery life sort of sucks :/

What's your PCMARK score...true battery/performance benchmark

Since I see so much Ignorant in the Battery thread, I like to point out (rant) some things..
1. A person 6 hour of Screen On Time usage is different from person to person.
2. Temperature can have a great affect on battery life.
3. Signal strength can have a great affect on battery life.
So with that in mind, I suggest everyone try to do a PC Mark bench, it is fair and give people a much better idea of what of what they should be getting. To do this test here are the few settings you need to set
1. BRIGHTNESS AT 23-25% (EYEBALL IT)
2. Wifi on
3. do not disable Mobile data or sync
4. Clear all RAM before start
below are the CONTROL numbers from a stock rom (pictures are from greenbot.com)

Under 2 hours battery life on S7 Edge

I have had this problem for quite some time... however I always thought it was completely normal until... I noticed it is not. I read many reviews about this phone found that I should be getting around 5 to 6 hours which seems amazing but completely out of reach. I switched from an old iPhone 6 which made this seem like much better battery life. I used to get a bit more battery life but now not anymore. I am rooted and have tried many methods but all have failed. I am running a close to stock ROM called 'The Galaxy Project' which I like having. I have wanted to post this for quite some time. I charge my phone overnight and need it for the whole day, however it dies at half of the day. I have:
- Always on display off
- Screen res on 720P
- Bluetooth off when I don't need it
- Easy turn on is off
- Mtweaks is set to be a balanced power consumption
- Greenify is running on many apps
- Battery health is approx 84% which is said to be 'good'.
Sometimes I manage around 2 hours and 30 mins but this hasn't been happening very often recently.
Feel free to ask any questions... I have read many forums and none have seemed to help!! I really want to fix this problem.
