[Q] CM10.1 terrible battery life :/ - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Running cm10.1 7/17/2013 nightly, and kt747 kernel under-clocked to 1.2mhz. I used to go down 10% every half hour of screen on time. Ever since i activated my phone i have been getting terrible battery. At 5:00 i had 73%, i used 3g to browse in chrome and at 5:07 i had 68%. I had 100% in the morning and 7 hours later of mobile data off, I had 75%. Should i wipe system and do a fresh install?

Have you just flashed cm10.1? Are you on the latest STABLE/RC? I'd do a clean install, making sure you wipe wipe wipe. Also, make sure to let the ROM settle a few FULL charge cycles (fully discharging and charging) to calibrate the battery.
Display brightness & GPS setting all play a vital role when eating your battery. I'd lower the brightness and turn off all GPS setting when not in use. (As well as WiFi)
Also, if you text a lot, I'd turn off the key tap vibration and sound on your keyboard if you have it on. I know also,
I'm on CM10.1.3 and am getting great battery life with the STOCK kernel.
If your not using 4GLTE turning that off as well can increase battery life.

I restored and battery seemed better. I found that there is no deep sleep. I am going to flash 10.1.3 rc 2. I'm just afraid of it wiping my meid/imei. I backed it up with reboot nvbackup in terminal, but that's no guarantee. What's your opinion

iws
If your already Backed up, I don't see why not. I've flashed from clean ROM and 10.1.3 many times and never had a issue.
However, that doesn't mean it will not happen. As long as you have your Backup your good as gold bro.

Okay, I'm looking for the appropriate gapps and going to flash. Wish me luck

Check your IMEI after you flash, I also suggest a full wipe.

All went well
It took about a minute for it to get a signal, my stomach was turning lol. But data, and voice works perfectly, and my imei is still there. Also deep sleep works too. The bass bug from the nightly I was just on is still there. The only temp fix I could find was to force close DSP manager, play music, and Apollo. Start apollo and play a song, and keep playing a song while you open Google play music and play a song. Now bass isn't distorted. Yay. Thanks for all your help and support! I hope battery while using it is better, as I know standby is. The bass bug is only there if you have the bass turned up in DSP manager with the equalizer and bass booster.

Huge battery drain while listening to music

Anytime I'm listening to music my battery dies extremely fast. I also notice that the back of my phone gets hot too... Next time this happens ill upload a screenshot of the battery usage
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Happens to me too. Its the app though. When running music for example the newest release of Google Music player. You can check the partial wake status of apps through the Spare Parts app. This shows what apps are awake while you phone is in sleep mode. When listening to music for 2 hours or so, it will show that the music player has been in partial wake. So its just like leaving your phone on for 2 hours straight. And on top of what ever else is running. You can try finding other music apps to see if the issue still exists.
As for you phone getting hot. Could be a battery issue. Could be an overclock issue or undervolt issue.
Hopefully that helps you determine what is causing these issues.
Draining
This happens to me too. When I use GPS alot and Music. Each rom seems to have a different effect with the draining, so I would suggest getting feedback from the DEV.

Why is my battery life so bad?

ROM: CM9 latest nightly
Kernel: CM9's own
Radio: T-Mobile's UVLC8 (yes, I'm on T-Mobile)
Brightness: Auto (shown in screenshot)
Synced Gmail accounts: 3
Accounts in Email app: 0
My battery drops 20% in 42 minutes, which means it will be depleted in 3.5 hours. And this is mostly due to the screen. Why? I use the phone moderately and ALWAYS press the Power button to turn the screen off whenever I'm done replying to a text or doing anything with it.
Any suggestions?
Well judging from your notification bar you have bluetooth, WiFi, fb sync all on and you aren't even connected to a WiFi network or Bluetooth device. Try turning those off when they are not needed. Also go into the Facebook app and go to settings and change you sync time to a little longer than an hour (if you can stand it). Try that for now and see what happens
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Some info on screen on time would help, 3.5hrs screen on time is barely below average. I would expect that if FB is always syncing and blue tooth.
Also I would verify you don't have a wake lock going from charging. You can check with CPU Spy, better battery stats, as well as some others. Cpu spy is likely the easiest way.

Every once in a while I'll get a flash that does this, the battery just seems to be losing its will to live. I don't understand it myself but I restore my last nandroid backup, and then flash again. After that all goes back to normal.

I always keep WiFi and Bluetooth on. I thought neither one of those really used a lot of power unless actually connected. I use BT only in my car and WiFi only at home (evenings). My FB refresh interval is set to 1h. I hardly think this is draining my battery.

Better Battery Stats wasn't free, so I installed CPU Spy and Battery Spy, I am letting the phone charge to 100% and then, I'm going to unplug it and report after about 30 minutes.

Might want to think of picking up some NFC tags and setting profiles so stuff like Bluetooth will automatically turn on when in your car, and off when you leave. And BT and Wifi do drain power when not connected because they are searching for connections.

But wouldn't WiFi and Bluetooth show in the battery usage screen with a high percentage? They would show by themselves or under radio and those aren't high at all. It's all on the screen. That's the problem, it seems. And what I explained earlier is that I don't use it much. I will get a text message, I'll reply and automatically turn the screen off before I set the phone down. I never forget this. I'm actually anal about it. LOL
I just installed Better Battery Stats (thanks for the tip!!!) and will test with all 3 apps as soon as I unplug my phone to go to lunch. I haven't been able to do this yet. Crazy day here at work.
Thanks again.

Flash Instigators Kernel with Smartass/Badass scripts (not a joke....)
It will help you tremendously. You must reflash with every nightly update you do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
OK, so 4.5 hours and battery discharged 38%. I guess that's not terrible, but my screen was only on for 26 minutes of that time and the phone is reporting 55% of the battery drain came from screen use. I feel battery life could be a lot better just because of this.
What else do these screenshots tell you guys?
I noticed KIK Messenger and MailDroid there. They both sync a lot. I do have a couple of IMAP accounts on MailDroid that I forgot to mention in my OP. But, still, I go back to the fact that most of the drain comes from the screen. These aren't related.

Oh, true!!! I flashed InstigatorX's kernel when I first started flashing the nightlies, but, since I flash them every 2-3 days, I completely forgot to reflash the kernel. OK, it's more like I didn't know it was getting overwritten and I had to reflash it. Thanks for the reminder!!! By the way, do you go with stable (4.0b) or the latest experimental (5.3.2)? Also, do you just flash the kernel? What are those scripts and what do you do with them? I did not understand his instructions. Maybe I should be asking there, but since I already have you here...

For one, turn your screen brightness down. I use auto-brightness and never have a problem seeing it, and my battery drain is ok that way.
Two, you've got the AudioOut_1 wakelock. Turn off system sounds in the settings menu (keytones, touch sound, screen lock sound, vibrate on screen tap) and that will take care of that.
Any type of instant messenger service (Skype is well-known for doing this) will wakelock your phone while it searches for IMs. No way around it other than an uninstall. You can't control IMAP pushing, but you can control folder polling, which eats up a lot of battery. I'd set your MailDroid accounts to not poll folders automatically more than once a day.
And definitely turn Bluetooth off when you're not actively connected to something. You might as well be using your phone as a flashlight with how much power BT burns through.
I am currently on RC2. I went to the 21/22 nightly but was not liking how it was behaving so I went with the RC for now.
In INSTIGATORS forum you will see in the links to the kernel one that says <-------- works with RC2.
I used that one and I am happy. Sure you could do the newer ones but I am happy where I am at currently.
Just boot into recovery and install from zip.
(Assume u download the zip on your phone....)
Its easy as pie!
You can play with the settings if you want but the default settings work pretty freaking good!
I would for sure recommend going to that forum as Instigator himself can answer ALL your questions in depth.... I am merely a messenger and user of his kernel.... wish they would just merge it into the cm9....

Screen brightness: I use auto as well. It's in one of my first screenshots in this thread.
AudioOut_1 wakelock: Done. Thanks. I'm going to miss the touch and screen lock sounds. LOL I left dial pad touch tones and volume rocker music controls in that same secton checked, by the way.
MailDroid: I went through all the settings, both general and for the e-mail accounts and couldn't find a place to specify folder polling interval. Do you have it installed? If so, could you tell me exactly where to find this please?
Bluetooth: I'll try my best to turn it on only when I needed. I could also follow dakpluto's suggestion with the NFC tags. But then, I'd have to leave NFC on. Doesn't that drain battery too?
And you see, although all of these will help, don't you agree based on my screenshots that the biggest offender here is the screen and this is the area I should really be looking at?

Here's what I just did:
1) Installed latest (7/23) CM9 nightly.
2) Installed InstigatorX's 5.3.2 experimental kernel using CWM.
3) Installed InstigatorX's BadAss script using CWM on top of the kernel (I guess that's how you do it).
I will see how my battery behaves. It'll be difficult to know which of the many things I did is the one that yielded the biggest improvement, however. Oh well.
Thank you all!

Yep I have power saving stuff such as turn off wifi when idle, I dont have GPS on 24/7 and I dont have wakelocks, I also set mine to use 3G/4G rather than LTE. If it was a solid blue that means something will be constantly on draining the battery.

For performance I prefer smartassv2 for power saving I would go for badass governor. With badass it doesn't jump clocks to max but goes by phases thus not aggressive and doesn't eat a lot. Test them out read the change log to see if changes pertain to you :good:

Just keep ur ROM but turn off the phone radio( or put in airplane mode)
That should help a lot on battery life.
Then get bored, make a backup and start deleting some apps that u don't use.
If it acts up, just relfash the backup u made
Good luck

Probably some GB ROM and airplane mode enabled for best battery.

Like others said, enable airplane mode and set brightness to minimum.
Don't know if airplane disables location, if not, disable it manually.
Uninstall/Freeze all apps you don't need including system apps.
You can also install greenify to force app hibernation which is giving me good battery life with cm10.1+matr1x.
GB is probably better for battery life.

Music battery drain?

When I play music on my Nexus 5, the battery seems to drain just as fast as screen on. Music shouldn't drain this much battery. It shows as always awake through the time that it plays music, which I don't remember seeing on other devices. I heard the DSP tunneling was supposed to help save battery while listening to music so I really don't know whats going on here. Is anyone else having these problems?
All depends what player you are using? I use Rocket Player with Viper sound and I can go over 12 hours with the super high definition driver. As with any device, everyone will have a different experience depending on how their device if configured.
Default Play Music app uses very little battery for me.
Playing music with Google play music locally has drained 10% in about 20 minutes for me. Its unbelievable

I've noticed the same issue recently. Drained 25% battery in ~45 mins if music playing. Battery stats show the device as awake for the entire time.
Thought it might just have been because I was using a 3rd party media player (PowerAmp), but it did the same thing using Play Music (playing only tracks on device).

Not really, now on stock 4.4.2 with TWRP recovery, root and a couple of Xposed modules active.
I have a couple of ideas for narrowing it down -
1st suspect is Last.fm scrobbling so I'll give it a couple of runs with & without that going and see if there's any consistent pattern there.
Then probably disable Gravity Box (pretty sure none of my other Xposed modules interfere with sound processing in any way).
Will update if I find something.

Other people have reported various games leaving wakelocks open (keeping the device awake), also a bad media file can cause Mediaserver problems (this can show up as very high Mediaserver usage on Settings->Battery):

Well, uninstalling Last.fm and Gravity Box didn't work, still consistently awake whilst playing music.
All the solid blocks in the awake time where the screen is of are where music is playing, interesting that Play Music has so little CPU time, but is keeping awake so much. Media server isn't responsible for much wake time.

AudioMix Wakelock on CM11S

I'm using a OnePlus One with CM11S, and have been experiencing wakelocks from AudioMix, both on stock kernel and on franco's kernel.
Wakelock Detector says it's from the "1013" process, which I'm not sure what it is (seems to be a system process though).
The wakelocks are pretty long, currently for example I'm on 83% battery with AudioMix wakelocks of 20m43s, which is about 13% of the time the device has been unplugged (not to mentioned when the screen was off, which is only part of that time).
I have no clue where this might be coming from or how to stop it, and would appreciate any help on this.

You can track the process down using the /proc folder... Just use ES File Explorer and go to /proc/1013/cmdline while the process is still running with that number. That should tell you the command that started the process.

Actually, there's no such folder as "1013" in /proc.
I did find a "1013" folder in /proc/uid_stat/ but it only has two files in it:

That's odd, since I keep seeing that AudioMix (which is under 1013) is getting more and more wakelocks every now and then when I check in WakelockDetector.
Any suggestions maybe? It's adding up by the second (even if the screen is on and I refresh the wakelock counter goes up).
definitely suffering from this same exact Wakelock also. Still haven't been able to pin down the culprit...working on it though hopefully I'll find it.
I believe the audiomix wakelock is music; been playing music with the screen of or using syncing services?

Only while charging.
Also, the wakelock counter for AudioMix keeps going up by the second, even when the screen is on (and whilst I'm not listening to music), so I'm not sure it's that (or at least, that's not all it does).
As for syncing services, what do you mean? Like Dropbox sync? Or Google sync?
My Google account is synced across devices (obviously), and I do have Dropbox uploading my phone's camera photos, but I didn't take any new pictures lately. When I do see it's uploading photos, there's another wakelock (I can't remember its name exactly, but it contains "Dropbox" in the name, so that would be easy to identify, and also makes sense to have it keeping the device awake when uploading photos).
same problem here....

I don't know why I think at PowerAMP, but I've had this issue also with my old Nexus 5 (now I'm on a OnePlus ONE), and NEVER found a solution. I really don't know what to do. That's even more strange thinking that some days ago I did not noticed this problem, now apparently random it started draining battery..
Ok just tried with some basic tests:
tried disabling sound at pressure on screen and lockscreen sound, checking with BBB it seems it's stopped now. Also it seems to stop using vibration instead sounds. Every time the phone emits a sound (coming from a pressure on the screen, such as the BBB refresh button, or any other sound) this wakelock happens for about 3-4 seconds, then, keeping refreshing BBB statistics it seems to stop. With vibration mode and without sound at pressure on screen this wakelock seems to be ok. But if I turn on the sound checking every checkbox in Audio settings, every time I refresh with BBB the phone emits a sound, and in fact this wakelock never ends and keeps going.
Now what I'm asking is why this happens randomly to someone and why some others don't face this problem. Also because for me started 2-3 days ago, but I always checked every checkbox in Audio Settings.
having this problem too, its waking my device a hell of a lot.

I use PowerAMP as well, but AudioMix is keeping my device awake even on days where I don't use PowerAMP at all. However, it might have a service running in the background, so it may still be it.
I'll have to try and freeze it and give another player a try to see if this stops.
