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.

Hey everyone. Here's a screenshot I took of my phones battery use. I was just wondering if this rate of discharge is normal. My screen brightness is always let to the lowest possible, all power saving settings enabled, phone overclocked at 1.6 with ondemand governor. I am using the sensay XE35 v 2.1.0. How could I improve battery life, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Screens of the battery use screen would be very helpful.
Did u let ur phone battery cycle a couple times?

Thanks for the reply guys, stabro I've had this Rom for about a week now shouldnt the battery be calibrated by now, or does it need a little longer. And matt, isn't that what I uploaded or is there something else that I need to upload

The screen you were at before you clicked the graph to get what you already posted. It shows a bunch of apps with how much of the battery it's been using.
Oh haha sorry, blacked out for a moment
Here's the shot of that.
I have no idea why it doesn't show actual apps, but I havnt messed with it. I'm assuming its rom related?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Was your wi-fi on the whole time, and is your cellular service always on even in standby? Changing those can have a large impact. Did you have better battery life on a previous rom? Is it the stock battery, cause if so, the life on it is typically not very good.
I've found in all the Sense roms I have used, display is always right at the top in battery use. I would normally have mine at a set brightness like 45% during the day and 25% at night which would drop display usage a bit. Plus try underclocking instead of your overclocking to 1.6.
That might be because you had plugged it in for a few minutes. It shows the battery usage since the last time it was disconnected.
LBN1 yeah I always keep WiFi on, my phone is always on 2g mode. Before this Rom I was using miui, the battery on that wasn't the best but it would see me get through the day with medium use, and prior to that, ARHD by far best Rom for battery imo. Yeah I still use the stock battery, though I'm thinking about buying another battery.
I've read somewhere, cant remember where lol, that a low signal uses a lot more battery as its constantly searching for a Signal, I think u guys have noticed from screenshots that my house, has very bad reception

Do you use your phone alot? I am gaming alot on the phone during schooltime, and it DRAINS battery (1% per minute almost) And I usually charge my phone when I come home again. And what kernel do you use? I use Bricked 1.6 beta, and it's awesome (1.5ghz ondemand)
Some things that helped me a bit was:
-Calibrate battery
-Undervoltage (download system tuner and hit 6 times on the -12.5v button)
-Juice Defender ultimate (It works really good for me)
Hope it helps
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.
I'm getting pretty horrid battery life. I'm not sure what to do to help improve? This is with brightness as low as possible. Screen time is 2.5 hours. Battery saving is on for everything beside regulating cpu speed. Rooted but with stock Rom.

There have been a few people who complained about this. It seems to be a problem with some of the phones. If this has been happening since you got it out shortly after, then it's probably the phone or battery. You might need to unroot and exchange it. Using battery tips or programs will only gain you about 10%.
If you're rooted try CPU Sleeper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ldWdlbmUzNzMuY3B1LnNsZWVwIl0.
It turns off one of the cores while your screen is off, which should help standby time.
Using a non-stock rom and kernel can also greatly help your battery, but it seems as though you want to stay stock.
Lastly, how's your signal? That's all I can really think of that would cause the S3 to have bad battery life. The S3 usually lasts a pretty long time.
Try GSAM battery monitor or Better Battery stats to find which app or service is drawing your battery. I've seen in other threads where giff_daemon and media server is causing lots of wakelocks and draining people's batteries.
Turn off sync, mobile data unless your actively using it, flash some other ROM and run Imos .07 kernel(aosp) or Kt747. Check what services are running. Freeze or disable ones you don't need.
Want mine to look like this unless I'm running an app.

Let not recommend custom rom/kernel etc.. Stock S3 should be very good on battery. You should find out exactly what drains your batter by using battery stats. Also enable battery saver mode and auto brightness. Turn off data sync, 4G, wifi, blue tooth and GPS (only turn them only when you needed) and see if it improved. Between using battery stats and turning off all the high drain options, we should able to pin point exactly what the draining source. A normal usage with stock rom, you should able to get around 4-5 hrs of screen on for normal usage.

Try setting up juicedefender, if you don't use your phone that often and battery still drains it will help. I use it at work since I don't use my phone, I have the ultimate version.

So I get terrible battery life on GB, ICS, an JB compared to my Nexus One.
Tried almost every ROM + Kernel combo now and no use.
Turned off every battery draining thing (Data, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, No widgets, No fancy wallpaper) and yet my battery goes down like 20% just being in my pocket for an hour to two hours.
In that same time I would lose at most 10% on my Nexus One.
Could it be that I have a bad radio? Do you guys who seem to get awesome battery life have a newer radio than I do?
Have you turned off the google auto-sync? You can do so from the power widget.

Yep. I have everything related to sync off and I also have backup data off as well.
Is 9% battery loss in 45 minutes okay with all those things off and it just being in my pocket?

You need to use better battery stats to figure out what is draining your battery. You can find it here.

Maybe your battery is physically dying.

Yes, there are many things that can adversely affect battery life, and radios are on of them. You can try to flash a compatible radio, but make sure you have a backup. Also, all radios eat battery when they're in bad signal (the phone uses a lot more power amplifying the signal).
BUT
Battery drain can be caused by many things. So while it wouldn't hurt to flash a new radio, you should still monitor the drain with betterbatterystats

Assuming the OP didn't switch on '2G only' in the settings I'd be inclined to suggest that flaky 3G signal is the cause of his battery drain. I'm on the newest radio (XXKI1) and whenever I'm in an area with poor 3G coverage (the inside of my house, for example) I often fall prey to horrible wakelocks. Switching to 2G only (plus WiFi for data) solves the issue.
I have kept the screen brightness at the lowest of the low, only turned on data when needed, and still my battery can't have more than 2:50 of screen on time before the battery dies (1%). I am assuming stock rom is most likely the best for battery life, but I require some custom features that only non-stock roms have. So what I am asking is, what else can I do to improve the battery, or what other roms have good battery life for Nexus 5
Thanks
Use better battery stats to identify wakelocks / wake ups etc

You also need to examine wakelocks and hungry apps...d/l and use a wakelock detector and try to forego the top 5 apps that waste the most. (eg. Facebook?)
Damn..beaten by rootSU again!

roms dont really have anything to do with battery life. kernels do somewhat, but to a point. battery life is mostly affected by how you personally set up your phone, what apps you chose to install, how you personally use your phone, and mainly the quality of your phone/data signal. remember, as many phone users as there are, as many different ways that people use their phones.
