I am using the CM10.1 JB rom. I left my sensation in my pocket this morning , the battery dropped from 70% to 30% within 2 hours. I haven't turned on the Wi-Fi and 3G , not even an background apps. What happen to my phone, it's there any problem on the governor setting or kennel ??

1. Check for wake locks (try wakelock detector from play store)
2. What is your kernel?
3. Min/Max CPU frequencies?
4. How old is your phone/battery?
I would try getting an anker battery. You will be amazed at the longevity of the battery. Also, it stays very cool, even when you are playing CPU/GPU intensive games.

Mine is the original kennel from Albinoman887's CM10.1. The governor should be lazy and sio. I have tried another battery and it drains at the same way --

Hmm... did you check for wake locks?
Min and max CPU frequencies? (Do you overclock/underclock?)
How old is your battery?

I set it from 384-1512..... the battery has been used for about a year.

I just unplug it.... the maps drains a bit horrible...

Try setting a profile via system settings. When your screen is off, turn GPS and WiFi off.
I would try an anker battery if none of these work. A 1 year old battery can be actually pretty old depending on how much you use the phone.
Also, if you don't actually use GPS functions, then I would get greenify(app from play store/requires root). You can hibernate the Google maps app so it won't eat up your battery if you don't use it.

Hello everyone. I don't want to create new thread so I'm writing here. My battery drops crazy too. With brand new Anker (about week old) my phone lives only for 10 hours without heavy use. As OP said: I left my Sensation in the pocket... Now I'm on CM10.1, but ARHD drains crazy too... WakeLock shows crazy behaviour of Gpslocationprovider but I don't think that this is the reason for drain because other roms drains out crazily too. What should I do? Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I need some help with my evo...i have it running on the fresh 3.5 ROM and netarchy-toasts kernel, latest version and all. I am overclocking as well, but nothing to drastic. Until recently, the battery life on my phone went into the ***** literally. Before it went 24 hours plus with medium to heavy usage. Now i can leave the screen on and literally (no exaggeration) watch the battery drain sliver by sliver. I just did a complete data wipe and reflashed the rom and kernel both in hopes of resolving the issue, but its still draining. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need this fixed but cant figure it out on my own :/
edit: the only time this happens is when the screen is on, when the screen is off it STILL DOES drain more than usual, but nothing compared to what happens when its unlocked. My though is that an app is running in the background eating up my batter life, but i have no clue what it is or how to locate it.
This is what the battery usage is looking like. Always Android system up at the top

Disable your mobile connection when not using it turn auto brightness off off auto sync but the main factor is.the mobile connection turn that off when not using and u we get better battery results
What's gd for these kind of things is juice defender

I forgot to mention that i have juicedefender installed already, and set cpu with profiles as well. one of the profiles is for when the screen is off, set for 300/300 (not accurate, but is set around that)
If its going as fast as you say (literally draining in an hour or so) I would say check your batter, try a new one. Otherwise you already have juice defender (which I tried and it really didn't do much else) so everything should be covered. Try wiping Dalvik cache, also try wiping batter stats (both are in clockwork recovery under the "advanced" tab.
Good luck and sorry if this doesn't help
Hey,
Download Juice Defender and AutoKiller fro the market and watch the Magic. me and you have the same phone and same rom. Note: delete any tsk Managers ou have because they will interfere with juice defender..
Battery draining out very fast... Any solutions even after calibarating batterry drain pattern is similar.. Any solutions ?
On xxkpq and non oc v7 kernel..

"screen on" causes drain
There is no a magic solution for that, you just could calibrate the battery as usual, try to set the brightness to the lower level instead of automatic, use only 3G connections when you gonna browse or download something, if you just gonna check the email or whatsapp, etc. you just could use 2G Edge connections to improve the battery life, does not use live wallpapers and root your phone, use an app like no-frills to set a custom processor speed, etc.
but... more than 24 hours with battery it's like a miracle.
I would also try to figure out what causes your phone not to go into deep sleep. Many times your screen is off butbthe phone is awake. BetterBatteryStats might help you with that.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
there must be some apps running in the background and prevent deep sleep of the phone and this causes the phone to stay at 300+ mhz looking at the "awake" time of your battery history.
i can just give you the advice to close an app if you dont use it anymore, always close it via the BACK button not via HOME because multitasking might be very cool but the app wont close automaticaly.
Use a task manager ( im actually using the standard task manager) and close the apps which are currently running. You can also check whether your phone goes into "sleep mode" or not with the app CPU Spy. its free on market and shows you the history of your processor speed.
Disable wifi 3g and stuff if you dont use it and close all apps and wait a bit. Then check via CPU Spy if phone was in "deep sleep".
Also how many RAM usage do you have by average?
I get 16-18 hrs of standard battery life.. Is it good? Also my average RAM usage is 330-380...

Can someone tell me any suggestions to have better battery life with a custom kernel
I'm currently running aokp milestone 4 with trinity and just look at this horrible battery stats

And just by typing this I lost 2 percent
Flash Matr1x to start. See if that helps. Also, look at what apps are running. settings>apps>running. See if anything there is on a lot, and stop it. Turn auto sync off.
I get about 20 hours of decent usage with this setup
every kernel and rom combo is going to perform differently. I find the best way to get the most out of my battery is to calibrate the battery by fully charging, allowing the battery to fully discharge, and then repeating those two steps once or twice more.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...
download battery calibration app from market, fully charge battery (94 or 95%), then calibrate using the app. Allow your battery to fully discharge (until it shuts itself off), and finally charge your phone completely with it still off. You should notice an amazing enhancement in battery life.

what I do is: (Use NSTools, its easier to make this setups!)
- Use LiveOC on 110%
- Overclock to 1110 Mhz - 200 Mhz
- Activate Deep Idle
- Use Lionheart governor.
Try this and see if it helps.
Turn off GPS and nfc if you're not using it! And wifi if you're not connected to a network, I think that may help something!

How about you tell us your on screen time?
Seems like your phone is on for quite sometime given that is it at 41%. Usually during a normal day mine usually consumes 28% with 2 hours of on screen time.
If you're hitting 4-6 hours of on screen time, that battery stat is NORMAL.
Thank you guys for your suggestion but i think my battery is just too old
im ordering some spare batteries for amazon
Tell me what you think about these

So...i flashed CM 10.1 from albinoman887 (version 02-19) yesterday...
The battery has been draining and it has been extremely hot (overheating???)
I turned off the wifi, mobile data, the brightness all the way down, but the battery loses about 10% per hour when the screen is off.
I noticed that the phone is really hot in my pocket...
The battery from CM 10 (JB 4.1.2) could last hours with automatic brightness settings and wifi on and it would only use about 10-15% battery...
Is there any way to let the battery last longer???

You can try using BetterBatteryStats to check what is causing the battery drain during screen off. Did you do a full wipe before flashing?
hmm

This is normal. You had something causing a wakelock. The reboot stopped it. It's very common.
Now, if it happens repeatedly, then you'll have to isolate what app or kernel element is causing the wakelock to fix it.
I noticed that some applications turn the GPS on and that is the problem of low battery life that is in my case i disable GPS after that and uninstall that apps.

Wow. Which kernel are you using? And what is your cpu frequency range and governor?

Just depends on your kernel settings I recommend sultans kernel

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!

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
