So I downloaded BetterBatteryStats.... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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

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.

99% after ten hours. Went out of the country and didn't have to charge once. You want to save juice? Just put the phone in airplane mode.
i dont really believe the androids built in battery measure.
Maybe a number on how much time the screen was powered on, for reference?
Reboot the phone and watch it drop to 50%

That's why I never restart the phone unless I'm near an charger.

lol...but actually that doesn't matter...it doesnt drain a lot rebooting...it just refreshes the battery stats to show the real value. his phone is saying it's at 99%, but I can assure you it's much much lower than that
Probably was lower than 99%, but it did last a good four days without needing to be charged (in airplane mode the whole time).

99% after 9 hours of battery use, yep i have to agree with you scotsman, it is much lower than that
WiFi can certainly be a hog, as can be GSM signal - especially if it's a weak signal. Display will drain if you keep the display on a LOT(!) - but otherwise that's why you see a lot of folks recommend to turn off WiFi or BT if you're not using 'em.
Wow what a great idea put the PHONE in airplane mode Hello? its a phone people were using them to call and/or text each other.
Want to save gas? Dont drive , just sit in your car and listen to music
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. No matter if it sucks battery I would prefer to use my phone and keep a charger with me every time. But one should enjoy the features to the full.

LG P920 Battery Stats

Hello,
I want to know your battery stats,too see which ROM is better at battery conservation etc.
So,if you are kind to do this,let`s use this model:
1.Battery:Stock 1540mAh(Or any other type that you have,i have an Andida 1920mAh too,but i will post the results later)
2.ROM:CM 7.2 by pandaball
3.Status:3h14m on battery,67%,light use,only WI-FI on,no phone calls or data.(It`s better to post your results when the battery is near 0%,i will post them later)
If you wanna use screenshots too, it`s better.
For experienced users a dumpstate file would help.
Thank you.
First ss:
Only Wi-Fi on,phone in idle,in the morning was dead.

I disabled three services in this rom:adfree,update me,and maps.
The new battery stats look like this:
if you want battery life, MoKee OS is the ROM for you

display is also decently high but on that rom that seems to be something that can really kill battery if you jack it up to full like my sister does

CM10 battery drain spike

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_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.

[Q] Battery still appalling.

Okay so I brought this phone Monday, yay very happy to have a Z3 cause I heard much great things about them. But the most wow factor for me was the battery life..
But sadly mine isn't that great.. Okay so, with 100% battery my phone without Stamina mode will last 3 hours.

And this is with Stamina mode on..
Bare in mind please that I'm not a hardcore user. I don't play games I use social media and occasionally watch the odd YouTube video here and there.. I've tried letting it completely die and charge it for over 14 hours and it's still the same stats.
I turned on a brand new Z3 compact and that had 54% battery and would last 17 more hours without Stamina mode.
In contemplating sending this phone back.
I will post more screenies if you need more detail

Scroll down further, there are (two) step 5's for some reason. Focus on the sections dealing with stamina mode and see if that helps.
