Poor battery life. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

Cell Stand By ???

the Time stamps are consistanly like this.....this is why im pretty sure the Cell Stand by is related to me having WiFi on.
ok so at about 9pm i noticed cell stand by pop up on my battery stats, didnt think any thing of it as usuall. so awake this morning and my battery went from 70% to 17% over night. this is not normal for my phone. and just to be clear, i know what cell stand by is i know the math and what battery stats show. and usually when this happens i just reset the phone and after a couple hours it will go away as other processes eat up the battery.
My question is, is there a way just remedy this all together? will turning on Airplane mode completely kill this problem. i will be doing that today when i get home to test this out.
The pictures show the time of use, both have 10 hours and some change. so they were both running all night which is what i normally see when this dumb stuff happens, im just finally seeing if someone can shed some light on it.
any thoughts or suggestions, again its not a big problem that reseting my phone does not seem to cure. but im just curious.
bump........i know some has an answer i have been looking and i have only found people guessing and pretty much stating what i already know. and of course the common of all answers " reflash the Rom"
Last bump for an answer.
EDIT .....turning on airplane mode fixed for me.
Cheers to me.

[Q] After flashing Franco Kernel, "Android OS" uses more battery % than my screen.

[Q] After flashing Franco Kernel, "Android OS" uses more battery % than my screen.
I'm on a Galaxy Nexus and I've been trying to get my battery to last a full 24 hours. I bought the Hyperion 3800mah extended battery but it is still not cutting it. I've been using my school day as a way to measure how much I use my phone. On a good day, I leave my school with about 50% battery left, and my phone is dead by 8 or 9pm. With a regular battery I would be happy, but not with this 3800mah, god no.
I'm new to the Android scene, Galaxy Nexus was a huge step up from my crummy enV touch. So it was kinda nerve racking to start flashing kernels. But I did it. I got the app from Franco and flashed his newest kernel. Ever since then, my "Android OS' listing in the battery section of my phone has dramatically increased.
Here is what I mean about Android OS being a battery hog:

This is a screen shot of Bettery Battery Stats, I have some crazy high percentages going on under kernel wake locks, I've tried looking them up and no one has given me a strait answer...any ideas?
Its kind of funny that I still got like 12 hours of battery. Probably the 3800mah coming through.
If any of those things has to do with music, I did listen to music on my phone for about an hour today. Just fyi.
Thank you!!!
Bump. Please, anyone. Ideas? D:
2nd Bump...I still have this problem... D:
I'm also getting this problem on a nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1. After flashing Franco.kernel, I've been losing battery faster than usual. I flashed it to gain in battery life. Any ideas?

Phone is hot and battery draining

My LG G3 has been working fine since the day I got the phone. Was also rooted on day one. I have done absolutely nothing to it besides rooting it. I woke up this morning and unplugged from the charger. After an hour of absolutely 0 use, the battery went down to 80%. It is now down to 35% after a few hours and the phone remains hot. Any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this? I have also posted a screenshot of betterbatterystats,
EDIT: I did go into WIFI settings and changed Keep WiFI on when screen is off to NO this morning. I have since changed it back to YES and the overheating problem has gone away. Anyone had this problem before?

How long have you had the phone? You may want to restore (unroot) and return the phone for a new one.

Phone goes dead when being stressed (games,maps)

Hi
I have been having this issue for a couple of months and i do not know where i would start to troubleshoot
Basically with full charge every time i use either the Maps or a game (what i noticed anyway) it shuts off and after a couple of attempts to turn it back on it would come on but the battery will be 1 or 2%. and i have to charge it again.
I have flashed it to stock and used pretty much all the ROMs available with no success(. It seemed like a hardware issue but i do not know what it is. I could try replacing the battery but i am not convinced that is the problem.
I did not drop it or abuse it in any ways. Always kept it clean .
I am attaching a screenshot of the battery after it happened
If anyone has any idea of what could it be and share i would REALLY appreciate it
Thank you

Under 2 hours battery life on S7 Edge

I have had this problem for quite some time... however I always thought it was completely normal until... I noticed it is not. I read many reviews about this phone found that I should be getting around 5 to 6 hours which seems amazing but completely out of reach. I switched from an old iPhone 6 which made this seem like much better battery life. I used to get a bit more battery life but now not anymore. I am rooted and have tried many methods but all have failed. I am running a close to stock ROM called 'The Galaxy Project' which I like having. I have wanted to post this for quite some time. I charge my phone overnight and need it for the whole day, however it dies at half of the day. I have:
- Always on display off
- Screen res on 720P
- Bluetooth off when I don't need it
- Easy turn on is off
- Mtweaks is set to be a balanced power consumption
- Greenify is running on many apps
- Battery health is approx 84% which is said to be 'good'.
Sometimes I manage around 2 hours and 30 mins but this hasn't been happening very often recently.
Feel free to ask any questions... I have read many forums and none have seemed to help!! I really want to fix this problem.
