Sorry for not posting this in the CM10 thread; this is my first post and I'm not allowed to comment in the dev forum yet.
I installed CM10 (after having used CM9 successfully for a month or two) from this thread (the 8/9 build) last night.
Everything more or less works fine, but I was playing with the torch app for about 5 seconds when my phone went from ~60% charged to off:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't actually think it was the torch app that sucked all of the power (the "battery" section of the settings says almost all of it went toward the screen) as I tried to repro it by using the torch app again and it doesn't make a dent in the power. No games or web browsing was happening.
I'm not so much looking for a solution as I am interested in posting this as a kind of bug report, since the ROM is in early alpha. If there's anything I can do to provide more information, I would be happy to do so.
yea. h8rift is working on these wakelocks. if you look at the time "awake" it is awake even when the screen is off. gps and nfc have been thought to be the culprits. but yea all of us are having the same issues.

I see that it was awake a lot, but it's the sudden spike toward zero that seemed really odd to me. I was using it at the time and it dropped so quickly that, by the time it told me to plug it in, it was already at zero.

yea i experienced the same thing, except from 82 percent to about 71. just overall the battery readings and management on cm10 so far are whack.

I wrote BetterBatteryStats because I was missing the great battery history that Spare Parts allowed to call on Froyo:
- Process stats with User and System CPU time
- *removed till issue #1 is fixed* Network Usage with bytes sent and received
- Wakelock stats (the most important one when it comes to battery drain)
- Other Usage stats: Awake, Screen On, Phone On, Wifi On, Wifi Running ratios

This app is still under development and may contain bugs. If you find one you can keep it but I'd be happy if you could also report it to me.
BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead.
BetterBatteryStats is focussing and has been tested on Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb (3.1, thanks to daveid) and the APK is set to run only on those versions only.
What are wakelocks and why should you care about them?
When it comes to Android the most discussed and commented topic that I know is battery drain / battery life. I'm a quite heavy user because I spend a lot of time on the train every day reading my mails, surfing and listening to music but still my phone is off for a long time during the day and while I accept the battery being drained while I use the phone I care about it draining slowly while "doing nothing".
And here's the point: my SGS2 drains about 2-10 mAh where it was up at 20-100 mAh before I started cleaning stuff up (readings were taken with "Battery Monitor Widget" after leaving the phone alone 1/2 hour).
Try it yourself
Thanks
to nobnut and brandall for their support, testing and constructive feedback in the early stages of the development

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 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!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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

Since flashing Carbon ROM two nights ago, I've been seeing com.android.systemui consistently at or near the top of my battery stats screen (screen shot below). When I was on Cataclysm, I never noticed this. Is this something I should worry about/deal with?

You've only used 3,% of your battery. See what it looks like later in the day. It should be less than 5%. If it isn't then yes, something is not right. Turn location off until you need it. That week save battery.
Sent from my Nexus 5
the % used in the graph is the % used of total battery drain.
you only lost 3% total battery and 49% of that 3% was used by the system.
there is no problem as of now.
Check out lockscreen notifications if you have pocket mode on it keeps the proximity sensor on all the time and will cause a larger than normal drain.

This is very helpful. Thanks -- I'll try disabling lockscreen notifications/pocket mode.
You cannot tell anything from stats after only a few percent of battery drain. Look again after you've burned 90 percent off the battery.

It's a bug. Reboot helps some cleaning cache others. Google know about it. There's a long thread on this
