{Help} Battery troubles still - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

I'm rooted with the GB 2.3.3 update and stock battery with Juicedefender and Setcpu installed. Battery life has definitely made a difference over Froyo and I'm pretty satisfied with the fewer trips to the wall-charger. However, I was wondering why the camera and gallery takes up 46% of my battery I haven't used the camera and I've tried restarting it the phone, but they still persist in the battery list. Anyone with a similar issue?
I don't see an issue. That doesn't mean the camera is still running. It just means you havn't really used your phone for anything. With the power saving settings you have, and the fact that you hardly used the phone in two days, you could have used the camera for 3 minutes and probably would have counted for 20 %
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I thought about that too. I did put the phone into airplane mode over-night and also used it to play music with the screen off for a couple of hours, which it why the levels might indicate like I hardly used the phone. But that's the mystery, I never used the camera, at all over the past 2 days.

Trying to understand a supposed battery problem. Maybe wireless.

Alright so the past couple days I have been trying to determine and figure out more about why I am having SOD problems. Yes I understand there is a thread for the SOD but something still bugs me on account a friend of mine has no SOD problems with the same wifi model.
While I haven't had an SOD for a couple days something else hasn't been sitting well in my stomach and that's the battery usage... All of a sudden Android OS is using a significant amount of battery. Much higher than the screen and I don't remember that happening before...
So I downloaded better battery stats and let the tablet sit for about 30 to 40 minutes and her are the results. I am hoping someone will see something out of the ordinary and point me in a good direction.
One I thing I see is that the wifi is on a lot and ar6k_wow seems to to be on a decent amount too. Next test will be removing the Facebook app despite me having it set to no notifications or syncing and see how things pan out since I know the Facebook app is notorious for battery drainage.

[Q] Why is android system using a lot of battery?

So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.

[Q] Abrupt battery drain

I'm using CM11 and have had a battery problem over the last couple months, spanning several versions.
I posted in the CM11 Q&A thread and no one seemed to have the same problem, so I'm guessing it's not the software.
Last night I had the problem occur while I was actually using the phone.
Every other time it happened while I wasn't using it.
The phone had 100% battery at ~5pm, and at 10:45pm it simply shut off when it should have had over 60% left.
I couldn't get it to turn on without charging it, and when I finally got it started it was at 4%.
The phone didn't get hot at all, so I have no idea where the power went.
Any ideas?

There are many other ROMs. Try cryptecs ROMs. They're stable and maintained pretty much daily.
Sounds like a dodgy battery to me, no amount of changing ROMs is gonna be able to fix that. I had a similar problem with my Evita, these days it won't stay powered on unless it's connected to a power source. Really takes the 'mobile' out of mobile phone.

Android System Battery High

Anyone have any tips on what I can disable on a stock non rooted device to get my Android System battery usage down? It's always on top and is usually in excess of 25%. As it stands I can't even get a day out of this thing with only 1.5 hrs of screen on time.
Maybe the battery is bad, phone is only a couple weeks old.
Oh and I should mention that there's no wakelocks or anything strange, it appears it's a legitimate battery drain. My screen brightness is low as well and today I never woke it up outside, just inside abient light. WiFi is off as well.

A thread all by myself, cool.
Today my battery has been unbelievable, only dropped 28% in 12 with plenty of use. I don't know what to think.
Same issue here.
I've had the phone for 5 days now.
First 3 were a blast with over 5 hours SOT.
I am now getting little over 2 hours SOT thanks to Android System.
Lonely threads come with expensive devices. No support, No Roms, No Development.
Anyhow, For your issue, Try minimizing the permissions of builtin apps. Disable autorun, and use greenify.
