I have been running CleanRom 3.0 for about 7 months now and have been getting great battery life. For the last week or so I have been getting horrible battery life and i cannot figure out why. I have not done anything different or added any apps since the fall. I have done all the tips and tricks to saving battery ....display set at 10%/30 seconds, All notifications turned off, gps off, bluetooth off etc... I can usually get an average of 22 hours before needing to look for a charger.
Today:
10.5 hours and 12% left. Not even 2 hours of screen time. I have phone forced on 3g and get good reception at my home where I was for most of the day.
Can someone please give me some insight here? maybe I'm missing something??

Maybe your battery itself.
There are far to many variables that play a part in battery life.
Look into 5.6 and remember to toggle off data and WiFi when not in use.
Worth a try.
Edit: now I clearly see you toggle WiFi and data off when not in use. Haha sorry.

Agreed, try changing kernel or kernel settings, gov types, speeds, tweak options.
Sometimes it take alot of trial and error to figure out the best rom/kernel combos. May also have to change a few things in the rom and/or kernel to do so. Goodluck!
You can try an app call "Better Battery Stats"

I will try to give the back story as fast as I can. I was using synergyROM build like 123 for long time on S3, my screen cracked, and I backed up the phone. When bestbuy got my phone in I picked it up and before I got home it got the OTA update and it took me a bit to find how to root it with the update. got it rooted and restored and than updated to SynergyROM 373(newest build). It was just burning my battery up fast as can be. The phone was getting hot at times of use as well. I read that cleanROM was stable as can be, so I came here. After wiping everything and installing the battery might be a little better but not much.
Questions are, Is it cause something is still messed up from the SynergyROM flash?
Could it be something to do with the phone its self? Maybe its a refurbed phone and something is still wrong with it?
Here are some screen shots of my phone info.

Try not talking on the phone all day and only connect to wifi and 4g when needed. Then post some screenies with screen time on amount

I use my phone for work so I have to talk all the time, so thats not an option. Before this phone I would get though a day just fine.
Usually you want to give a 2-3 days for things to "settle down" before you can start judging the battery life (after rom flash usually). It could also be that you have a defective phone. BetterBatteryStats would also give more details of battery usage.
To me, your battery usage looks normal comparing to your activities.
If anything, I would probably lower my voltage or even underclock your device just a tad to squeeze some battery life out of it.
I have the Boost One SV (k2cl) and I've owned this phone for 3 weeks. I'm noticing battery here isn't so great. Well I've been testing some options out and I think I found a way to maximize battery life. I enable the power saver option and set everything to optimize power, then I enable the super saver option in Battery Doctor. Below is after almost 12 hours of heavy use.

What do you all do to optimize power?
EDIT: Woops didn't see the other battery thread but this is different in some ways lol.
Posted something about my battery handle in another thread, but here whats helping me for good battery life.
Note: It depends on everybodys location, situation and if he need some of this or not.
Basically i charge my phone every night, so i have the full power on the upcoming day.
I untick the options for Incoming calls:
Under Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network mode i usually don't let it switch between modes (most time i use GSM only and only switch manually to WCDMA if a network is available and i need it fast) cause always searching for "best network" is very power consuming. A low (or bad) mobile network can be one of the biggest battery eater.
I only switch Wifi on, if i'm in my Wifi network, cause it always search for any Wifi network, also if you are away.
And i only start bluetooth when i need and so on.

Battery life seems a lot better on ICS.
Mine is pretty good by changing cpu governor.

Idk how bad this is, you can see my screen time is barely on and my phone is barely awake, yet i get 8 hrs :l Idk if other people phone is the same. Plus half of the time I had my network disabled...
I'm still on 4.1.1 :l I heard that's a really bad for battery. If I upgrade to 4.4.2 will it make a difference?
That doesn't look very good. Can you provide more information on your device please? Stock/modified? Bootloader details? ROM/kernel?
Sent from my Evita
Out of curiosity how many apps have you installed and uninstalled since your last flash? How many do you have currently installed? Have you tried benchmarking your standby times on a freshly flashed device with only stock/gapps installed?

Battery life will vary but for me this is what
I get on a 4.4.2 ROM. If you are in low coverage areas it drains battery way fast

What you're saying about battery draining quickly in a low coverage area is spot on. I don't think providing your own battery usage helps much though because battery stats vary wildly from user to use even on the same ROM, there are too many variables.

About 3 hours of on-screen time has been the average for me. Phone's about 2 years old.
Does anyone have any idea what these event wakelocks are? They are draining a lot of battery, and as you can see from the screenshots, my battery appears to be substantially worse than everyone else's. I'm not exactly a power user either!
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out with this.
Here are some screenshots: https://plus.google.com/photos/+LewisLebentz/albums/6047049438489245601?sort=1
I have included pictures of the built in battery page, on screen time, awake time and a screenshot from WLD.
I have them too. But only recently. I'm on PA beta 2, AK stable Kernel 30.
As you can see Android os is eating away the battery.

I have them as well. No idea what they mean though. On Mahdi + Franco.
Trying out AK, getting them on here too. All kernel wakelocks
Guys, wakelocks are normal and needed. There are times when they are excessive though. I think bacon-599 has a better discussion on battery drain than worrying about a few minor wakelocks. 10 minutes in a few hours isn't that bad.

I don't think so. Not sure what the issue is.
Oh BACON-599 refers to issue 599 on cms issue tracker where bacon is the device specific project.

Hi, I need help on this. It has been days since my battery has gone haywire and I don't know what happened. I just saw that my WIFI isn't turning off even though i toggled itoff in settings/quick settings. I thought maybe a simple reboot may fix it but no. I came from CO12 to Exodus to Bliss but all have the same problems. Wifi isn't turning off! All my settings are stock. Kernels are stock also. I'm getting an average battery life of 3 1/2 hrs SOT which is awful for my usage. Also AndroidSystem and OS is killing my battery but I disabled Google PlayServices which should help. My only concern is the Wifi not turning off. Pls help thanks

Hi.
I use this app wich does only cut on and off the network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en
(you can also apply a screen filter to help stop battery drain)
But I doubt its your only problem... I tested with and without the app, and the difference is almost not visible. Also, my wifi (when app off) is in third place on battery usage, and I have at least a good 5-6 SOT..

Some people say that it is a common bug in Android 5.0. Can anyone confirm?

The known bug with wifi is not battery drain but the difficulty to connect, to link the network.
