Please provide more info along with screenshots of your battery stats from the Settings menu. For example, (a)how many hours does your battery last, (b)how many hours of screen time do you get, (c)are you in a fringe area for 4G...etc. You could also install the app "Better Battery Stats" from the Play store to identify which app/service has gone rogue.
Better Battery Stats
Edit: I didn't see your screenshot when I first checked this post.
Addl info
Last 4 or 5 hours light use less then half from when i bought it
same media/sd card battery drain
Same for me. It is happening on both Synergy and Beans ROM. I had been running d2hacker's CM10 but I needed something more stable as my daily driver. I used both if these ROMs when I first got my phone and didn't have this problem. I'll try taking my phone back down to stock via Odin and see if that does anything. If there is a solution out there I would really appreciate any assistance.

Hello,
I need some help with my evo...i have it running on the fresh 3.5 ROM and netarchy-toasts kernel, latest version and all. I am overclocking as well, but nothing to drastic. Until recently, the battery life on my phone went into the ***** literally. Before it went 24 hours plus with medium to heavy usage. Now i can leave the screen on and literally (no exaggeration) watch the battery drain sliver by sliver. I just did a complete data wipe and reflashed the rom and kernel both in hopes of resolving the issue, but its still draining. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need this fixed but cant figure it out on my own :/
edit: the only time this happens is when the screen is on, when the screen is off it STILL DOES drain more than usual, but nothing compared to what happens when its unlocked. My though is that an app is running in the background eating up my batter life, but i have no clue what it is or how to locate it.
This is what the battery usage is looking like. Always Android system up at the top

Disable your mobile connection when not using it turn auto brightness off off auto sync but the main factor is.the mobile connection turn that off when not using and u we get better battery results
What's gd for these kind of things is juice defender

I forgot to mention that i have juicedefender installed already, and set cpu with profiles as well. one of the profiles is for when the screen is off, set for 300/300 (not accurate, but is set around that)
If its going as fast as you say (literally draining in an hour or so) I would say check your batter, try a new one. Otherwise you already have juice defender (which I tried and it really didn't do much else) so everything should be covered. Try wiping Dalvik cache, also try wiping batter stats (both are in clockwork recovery under the "advanced" tab.
Good luck and sorry if this doesn't help
Hey,
Download Juice Defender and AutoKiller fro the market and watch the Magic. me and you have the same phone and same rom. Note: delete any tsk Managers ou have because they will interfere with juice defender..
Right?

I have everything from the CM Bible page. I have wiped and reinstalled everything a number of times and Android System is always sitting right on top. The battery holds fine when the screen is off, but whenever it's on regardless of Wifi/mobile data ect. it plummets fast.
Any suggestions?
dude...you should try InsertCoin rom....its a masterpiece
best rom for battery life indeed !
i think this is pretty normal for cm7 because its still alpha...i have pretty similar "problem" and im quite happy with battery life on cm7,its at least twice as good than on sense roms so dont worry,use your phone and charge your battery when needed,if this is really a bad battery life for you than try to get anker
I just switched to trips ICS alpha and it's fine now. Android system doesn't even register in my battery usage. Just display and wifi. I might try to head back to CM and see if the problem returns. Thanks for the heads up. If CM still doesn't want to work out I'll check that out.

Yeah I suppose so. I just really don't get why my dialer would be using 9X more battery than my display is.
i think its because of the cm bugs in alpha release...im pretty happy with it but if you dont like just wait a bit more,ics should be coming soon
I think it depends on the rom you are using. I noticed with the lateset miui the android system is a little higher. I agree that it must be an aosp thing.

I am running clean rom 2.1 and have had great battery life until a couple days ago. I checked gsam and noticed I had a very high android OS%. In the clean rom thread someone had mentioned that gsiff.daemon could be a culprit. I have a long list of under the android OS and don't know if this is normal or not.
It was also mentioned that renaming the gsiff.daemon can help cure it. Would you do that under root manager? Does it matter what you rename it?
Any help would be appreciated

I am experiencing the same problem. I am stock rooted and unlocked. What is the best way to determine what the rogue application is that is causing the problem. Also, I to know the best way to fix it.

Get better battery stats from the general apps section. Follow the instructions on its post.

I had the same issue with gsiff.daemon running stock rooted, unlocked. There are several way to determine if gsiff is the culprit, turn on 'Show CPU usage' under Developed options, and third party apps that monitor CPU usage. I like System Tuner from the Play store. Basically, gsiff runs amok and chews up available CPU after a 'hot reboot'. A standard reboot put gsiff in its place. I used Root Explorer to change the file name to xxx.xxx.bak. No more gsiff issues and I haven't noticed any changes in the phone functionality. It's been a couple weeks since I've changed the file name. There is much more discussion on this thread.
I wanted to see how my phone was performing battery wise so I downloaded BBS but Im not sure how to use the info it gives me. So looking at the screenshot below. Is my phone normal or should I make some adjustments. I know that if I leave it off the charger over night I loose approximately 25% not sure how normal that is for Android. Any tips or advice would be be nice

Looks horrible. Phone should spend majority of its time in deep sleep overnight. You should only lose 1% per hour or less. You should check partial and kernel wakelocks too.

You might as well put it in airplane mode since you have no signal at night.

Thanks so much for the replies. So since my battery life was not superb. I decided to try a new rom. Synergy, it looks like I am getting more sleep time but my wlan is still up and so is data connection. I also ran kernel and partial wake. Any insight on these reports below?
You can try going into maps settings and make sure report location is unchecked. Also, make sure your GPS is off

Ok. On 4.4 (with linaro version of franco kernel) i could leave wifi on and overnight get 2% battery loss.
Now on 4.4.1 (again with linaro version of franco kernel) i get 5% overnight loss. Nothing else has changed!???
Here are my battery stats...
(i plugged it in just before bed so it'd reset the 'unplugged')

I think betterbatterystats is what causes the battery drain in 4.4.1, i uninstalled it and no problems.
Based on the screenshots (log from BBS would be better as some stats are missing in your post) you've got WiFi on with few applications utilizing it. Like SwiftKey, Facebook and few others. Review your WiFi configuration (you may also need to remove/forget your WiFi network from the phone and configure it again - that seem to fix certain WiFi issues at 4.4.1) and check again.Also try with WiFi off for comparison.
Thanks I've just forgot the wifi and rebooted then re connected, I don't get why SwiftKey is using it? It's a keyboard!?

5% loss overnight is still decent I would take that
mine seems ok
edit. seems the pic has gone wrong. it shows the battery going up a few per cent overnight
I know but it's over the double the 2% i used to get!

I also feel the battery drain quite a lot faster. About two times faster when idle, and i see quite a lot "awake" caused by the Android System when the screen is off.
@wheilitjohnny
that must be coming from some process. I don't have such issue, it's pretty much the same as it was on 4.4.
I've not changed any apps etc since tho. That's what's annoying
