[Q] Chrome battery drain? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I seem to have extremely high battery usage by Chrome. It could be a bug where it is reporting incorrect stats, but I'm not quite sure. Chrome has a CPU total of 2m 20s, but its 11%. For comparison, Facebook has a CPU total of 15 m and its usage is 3%.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?

I've noticed high reporting from chrome too. Sucks cuz I love the browser

Cm9 battery life issue

Hi. I have recently flashed cm9 on my galaxy s 4g,and it's amazing. My only major issue Is that the battery drains from 100% to 0 in less than 4 hours with lite use. Is there something I'm forgetting to do or is it a typical issue? Thank you

Battery calibration.

I've already tried that. I'm still having the same issues.

Unfortunately, it could be a number of known "usual suspects", such as apps or possibly a 'rogue' app, signal strength (the more the phone has to seek connection, the more battery drain), try swapping your SIM, settings to help maintain acceptable battery discharge, wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync, are just a few things that could be the cause. You can try a full charge to full discharge until the phone powers down, then while off, charge fully and power back on to clear battery stats. Could be your battery as well...

Check the cpu scaling governor. Usually 'ondemand' will do a decent job of conserving battery power.
Also you can use the 'top' command from the terminal emulator to check for processes hogging the cpu.
Moved to Galaxy S 4G Q&A section. :good:
Battery calibration is a debunked myth.
AudioOut_1 suggests keypad clicks, or some other alert sound. Try reading the BBS thread for suggestions, posting your logs there if you're still puzzled.

i advice you try Gremlin Remover Step 1 and 2 (FIRST!) then if problem persists more on to step 3
EDIT : Gremlin Remover can be found on the development area or here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427

The battery might be dying. You should try another one because I noticed my stock battery started to stop lasting as long as it used to

I noticed a significant difference between the battery life of CM7 and CM9. 7 is really good with battery life. 9, however, shows the SCREEN as being the main drain of the battery...even if it's been on my desk all day.

CM10 Stable is here. 11/13

I'm using CM10, and so far it's been great. I've had no problems. One feature I like the most is that you can respond to texts when you're not even on the MMS app.
Almost 3 full days. Not a single sleep of death. Battery life is on par with cm9. My only issue is a slight lag when unlocking the screen (about a quarter of a second)
It's a daily driver.

I find battery usage the biggest problem, can't even manage to make a half day with 3G data connection ON.
Web usage may be limited to max of 2hours. CM9 was better for battery for me could get a day with moderate usage.
Any body facing similar problem to me ? :banghead:

CM9 did not have Google Now, turn that off and you will see a huge difference.

Facebook battery drain.

I e just started using Facebook and my battery life has halved, is this normal? Or is it the official Facebook app? Does anyone know of a better app or how to stop Facebook draining my battery?

Turn off notifications.
Try using better battery stats, probably some apps causing wake locks.
I've got it running now thanks

Maybe just use the browser for Facebook, sure it has less features, but your battery life may improve, just a thought

Chrome Issues

Has anyone else had issues using Chrome? When. I use it it seems very slow and gets the phone very hot. Also sometimes the keyboard won't load and the data goes grey and finally the app will just close, not fc just close.
I am on dao's CM10.2 running dao's 9/2 kernel.

You are probably running out of RAM or something silly like that. Out phone is old and out of practice. Also, you should ask this in the Q&A that you created.

Well I wasn't sure if it is a cm10.2 issue or something else. I know the phones are old. Funny thing is when I enable the ram performance settings the phone goes slower.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue with chrome.

Browser using more battery than screen

So recently i have noticed dolphin browser is actually using more battery than the screen which i find very odd as i dont remember changing anything im guessing this isn't normal?

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal
Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.
Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location

I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.
