I can't get more than 1.5 hours screen on time without draining my battery. I did a full wipe and clean install of Bugless Beast with GlaDOS kernel and I'm underclocked to 880 MHz. 1.5 hours screen time and maybe 20 minutes talk!!! What's going on here?! Does anybody have a clue what' wrong with my phone?
I would first try another ROM, close to stock I would suggest Oxygen 2.3.2 with the stock kernel if you want to stay on GB. If it still drains your battery that fast your battery may be dying. If it lasts waaaay longer you'll know there's something wrong with your ROM and/or Kernel combo...
You can try ReCaliberating your Battery, but it probably won't help, your battery could be screwed up... Try getting a new one if you can and see what happens?

Great advice I was going to suggest Oxygen too, but version 2.3.1 instead, because for many people including myself 2.3.2 was not as stable.
I used Oxygen 2.3.1 coupled with glados, used to have 30 hours+ on a single charge.
Please check if your phone signal is always weak. Weak signals eat your battery up since the phone works harder to stay connected.
As the guys also suggested wipe the battery stats. download battery calibration from the market and fullow instructions.
Gd luck
I just ordered a new battery though... not a stock one but it was rated high on Amazon.

It's probably because Sprint's network sucks and your phone is dying while trying to find a damn signal from their crappy network. When I'm out and about, my phone lasts about half as long with the same usage. If I'm at home and connected to WiFi, I'll have great battery life.
just wanted to know y would u underclock ur phone?? wouldnt that make it slow???
try nexusshacks.com... great roms..

Not really. And as far as the network connection about 10% of the time I'm without a signal according to my battery stats. I don't know if that would drain it that much.

Not sure if this is right for what I use

If you want better battery life, I can suggest a few things.
Buy a better battery, flash a non sense rom(sense takes up a lot of battery), shut off your gps, turn down your brightness, if those still don't help, there might be a rogue app in the background . Use system tuner to find it.
What like cm9 I was on fence I guess I will try it bright on auto no money for battery

I find this hard to believe. I've tried all three, non-sense, sense, and AOSP. I get about the same battery life (screen on, max brightness, active use; 3.25 hours). That's whether or not I strip most of the useless applications out.
Anyway, OP, best I can tell you is to remove that Sense 4 rom. Seriously, they're not 100% ready for our phones and may never be. Any instabilities or issues you have using them are your own doing.

I disagree that Sense takes up a lot of battery. I've run AOSP, Sense and Senseless ROMs and to be honest, they take up about the same amount of battery. But yes, turn down your brightness (don't use auto-brightness) and try another ROM. I've generally found Sense 4 ROMs to have greater battery drain, which I believe can't be helped at the moment considering that they're ports and the devs are still working hard to make them stable/smooth.
I've got stock battery and I can definitely get more than 12 hours with moderate use.
you should disable automatic brightness if you want better battery life, but there is really something wrong with your sensation, try to install the newest firmware and do a full wipe and a new install of the rom you prefer.
Wich ICS Rom is the best in this field?

I think the ICS most battery saving ROM On CM9-24-06-12 By nk111.
The official ROM propose to select Sense3.6, because of the relatively stable.
Sense4a is also relatively easy to use, but really power.

jepes63´s value seems very good and i don´t think that better battery live then his one can be archived.
Cyanogen and AKOP looks pretty unstable to me maybe in future they will be more attractive
I think the most u can get out from different rom is about 2-4 hours(not an educated guess, just presumably).
Unless any rom can give me an extra day with the 2nd day battery still at 50%, I dun think a few extra hours would make any difference. I usually charge at night(2am @ about <15%) before i slp and try to use my phone wise as possible so that it can reach about 24 hours then charge it again for the next day.
Just say it give me and additional 12 hours of play time, then for my normal way of usage the battery would end up 15% at 2 in the afternoon, which at that time i would be out. And the phone average charge time is around 2 hours(using htc provided charger).
So between roms, imo if it last u a day then it should be good enuf, instead look for roms that gives u an interface which u would enjoy most and not worry about the battery life.
I'm using Fallout Evolution V4.3.0|Sense 4.0A| ICS 4.03] [Kernel Stock 3.0.16] after a full wipe and reinstall.
Battery life is great, but it does depend on how much you use your phone etc etc etc.
On an average, I generally get around 16 hours of Battery life (not considering
Deep sleep period) with moderate use & on 3G !
A charge a day is normal for smartphones nowadays...

It depends mostly on how you use it. When i traveled to an other country and deactivate my data connection (cause of costs for roaming) my battery works for 2-3 days even with the stockrom. I tried CM7 a view weeks ago but recognized no big difference. Maybe 5% more? actually i use the fallout 4.2 and it works with normal use an 3g on for 1 and a half day. Thats better than CM7 for me and the rom works stable (CM9 based roms actually not).
Fallout 4.4
I'm currently using fallout 4.4, it really is a great rom with a great battery life!
If I use the camera and have the flash on, and the battery is less than about 75% charged, the phone shuts off and won't turn back on until I pull the battery.
Often, when the phone powers back up after this, it shows the battery is almost dead, or at least significantly lower than before - I've seen it go from 70% to 15% a few times after this. It's done this with every ROM I've had, including stock Gingerbread and ICS, but it used to only do it if the battery was close to dead. Now I pretty much can't use the flash unless it's fresh off the charger or plugged in.
I'm thinking the battery is shot, would I be correct in this assumption? If so, can I use any Nexus S battery, or do I need to use a 4G specific battery? It's the Sprint 4G model.
Thanks!
If anyone cares, I got a new battery. Camera now works reliably, and I now get more than 6-8 hours out of a charge. Snagged the Anker 1600 mAh battery from Amazon.

While I was out today (about 3 hours), 4G was on, and I had music streaming as well. Running JellyBean (CM10 Experimental) with Air Kernel @ 1.2 GHz.
Think it's safe to say my battery was shot - it was a Sprint-branded battery that came with the phone, but I got it used, and the person I got it from last year got it as a refurb.
When was the last time u reset battery stats in the old battery since its supposed to be done at least every time u flash a new ROM or if in same ROM for some time do it about once each month....
And what ROM where u using and what camera ..... stock or market APP?

One of the Google developers came out awhile back and stated there's no reason to reset battery stats, ever. TWRP 2.2 doesn't even have the option anymore. Plus the phone kept powering off when I'd use the flash on the old battery.
I'm using Burns' CM10 Experimental (8/6) with Air Kernel, but I've had this issue with every rom, including stock (as stated in the OP). Problem happened with stock camera app and every 3rd party camera app, also happened if I used the LED as a flashlight. When it's happening across multiple ROMs, I think it's a safe bet to say it's a hardware problem.
..
The phone was a refurb that I bought used, and came with a Sprint-branded battery when I bought it. But yeah, I was basically asking someone to verify what I was thinking - which you just did.
Here's the battery it came with:
Anyway, several days on the Anker battery now, and no complaints at all. Battery life is easily tripled, though this screenshot was taken with me sitting on wifi all day. It seems to hit 70-80% about when the old battery would die. Remember I'm running an early experimental build of CM10, with a mild overclock.
..
I've been getting pretty bad battery life on my GS3 lately. I'm not sure if it's because of the ROM, widgets, kernel, or what.
I'm running the LiquidSmooth Rom on a 4.2.2 version of Android with the stick Kernel of 3.0.66-cyanogenmod-g3e56399
Also running This custom Home Screen.
Here are some of the readouts of my battery life so far. Earlier today I had lost about 10% battery life after an hour or so, and that was only with 10 minutes of screen time.
I also have the brightness set to Auto or set to a low level manually. It's rarely higher than 30% brightness.

Any ideas what I could do? Should I revert to stock and start over? I'm already using JuiceDefender Ultimate so I feel like my battery life should be MUCH better than it currently is.
I think that's the only way you're truly going to be able to tell. I'd try odining back to stock to get everything back in order then going to CleanROM. It's been reported that it has the best battery life for all GS3 ROMs.
If the problem still persists then yes it's your battery but I doubt it. With the n**rig of a setup you got going I'm willing to bet it's that.
Or on the contrary you could buy a brand new battery and try it out. Never hurts to have a spare battery around.
BTW, idk if it's just me but none of your imgs work.

Thanks for the reply. I put a link to the imgur album since the embedded images didn't work, it's just some battery status. I'll try doing what you said and Odining back to stock, then going to CleanRom and seeing how that goes.
A lot of the AOSP roms and kernels drop down from 100% really quickly but then don't drop that much after that. So when I see you're at 85% or so after 3 hours, that doesn't really surprise me. I would be willing to bet it doesn't drop as much for the rest of the day. I've just noticed that with AOSP, even back when I was on the DINC and like Cyanogenmod 7.
I'm on AOSP (Paranoid Android) on my GSIII right now, I haven't done anything with my phone today other than a text message or two. It's been unplugged for several hours and it's at 93%. So the early battery drop is just normal on AOSP.

Very interesting, thanks for the info!
I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 M5 on a D820 32GB. Lately I've noticed that idle battery life is not as it should be; I got frustrated enough last night that I wiped everything and left it sitting. Battery started at 82% and dropped to 63% with about 15min of SOT::

This doesn't feel right; as I recall from when the phone was new (and as I have seen others talking about), standby time is supposed to be great. Is this normal?
I'm flashing stock right now; I'll see if that helps.

Show us some BBS logs. Most likely CM issue though. More precisely, the CM kernel. But without BBS, it's just speculation.

Okay. I'll try this with stock Android and see what happens. If it's not better, I'll post BBS logs for it too.
I also think it's CM's fault, and if this happens with stock as well, you may have a faulty battery.
I usually get 1 hour SOT/20%, give or take 10 minutes.
I can get this with my usage patterns, obviously this is going to change (for better or worse) depending on how you use and configure your phone.
