Hello, ever since flashing cm 10.2 on my phone, I've noticed that my battery was being drained extensively by Google services. A full wipe and re-flash later, it was fixed. Well, during those two flashes, my battery level has been erotic.
I can go 4 hours with normal drainage and then the phone casually reboots, and then says I have 9% or so remaining. It will "charge" itself to 13%, reboot again, and it the battery will report that it has around 20% or so, and drain normally.
The battery life has diminished a bit, but that could be because of age, and it barely lasts me 8 hours.
Does anyone know of any solution other than buying a new battery? Recalibrated has helped, but not by much.
As always, any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
magnetboard

in around a few crashes and drain wipe, the battery report can be way off
after a few cycles, it should normalize
if your drain persists, look to wifi drain, cpu regulators, wakelocks or rogue apps updates causing drains
Thanks, right now I have better battery stats to analyze wakelocks and apps and then I have greenify and system tuner to freeze Google services and apps. Hopefully this minimizes drain.

On beanstalk 4.3, mine was not juicy at all.
Reverting to 4.2.2 made mine erotic as well.
Who knew a misspelling could be so much fun? I meant to say erratic... Sorry

You are killing me
When did you flash
Have you calibrated your battery
Are you using the same kernel, modem

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

Has anyone ever heard of an instance where the display drains the battery while off? 4 hrs on battery, display using 54%, all others using 4% or less, and display off 85% of the time. 20% remaining.
Just curious. Probably gonna GR then reflash

Your display is always going to use a large portion of battery. Being on battery for only 4 hours may be misleading. Let your phone run through most of the charge and check again.
As you continue to use it, other apps and services will contribute to battery drainage, in turn lowering the percentage of juice shown used by your display.
Im not trying to imply you are wrong. You may have an issue, and I could be way off base. Just something to think about.
Edit: I re-read your post. It ran through 80% of your battery in 4 hours with minimal use?

Thanks. I was actually just seeing if this has ever happened to anyone before. There has to be something wrong. Just a one day fluke I guess cause today it seems to be going ok so far. I'm just gonna start from scratch and try again.
Tried to thank you for responding, but alas, I am limited to 8 per day. I'll get you tomorrow.
My display also drains a large portion of my battery, but never THAT much. Is your brightness really high at all times? If so, turn it down.

Your battery dies really fast while display is off?
The day I posted it was dying super fast. I have not changed anything and it seems to be better but still draining pretty fast. Running better batt stats app for a few days to see if I can catch what's doing it.
Someone in anton's kernel thread said that the first few charges went great but all of a sudden it's draining fast. This is what happened to me. I'll report back what I find out with the app.

Yup, it'll show that it's using 50% of display, even on days I don't really use my phone. I have better batt but can't seem to find out what's using it

Seems to me that the phone is having a hard time going to sleep soon after use, wifi may be keeping it awake. i have wifi on all day while im at work and the awake time seems to be higher right when i get into work. doesnt sleep for the first few hours.

Could it be you have latitude turned on? This used loads of battery on the phone I just had
I solved it by discharging the battery completely, then I did wipe battery stats and then i re-charged it. now after 6 hours its 94%
What's the typical battery time for the One S? I got mine a few days ago and it just seems like the battery drains away way too quickly than what I read on reviews. 14 minutes in and already at 83%? Yet all I did was use the 3G connection. But my screen consumption is 89% yet I have brightness at below half way, probably 40%. How is any of this possible?! I've got Google's Location service and Location and Google search options turned on, could this be it?
I haven't had the opportunity to go at it for the full day, so that's what I'm gonna do today and see how it goes.
Take a look at this (which will grow over time):

There are hundreds of threads on battery drain issue, use search button and try to follow the suggestion.

I got the same problem after flashing to early 4.0.4 build.
Hotmail sync was the issue. Try to do a full reset and don't restore a backup. Just to see how it goes.

I don't think so. It seems like that problem is gone now. I don't know what happened but there was no signal about an hour, the battery drained 30%, and then the signal appeared and the battery draining became slow. Now everything is okay.

Good to hear that. Bad cell signal and wifi connection drain battery more quickly.

I recently switched to hyperdrive ROM again, and the battery drain is absolutely ridiculous.. I watched 4% drain as I was making this post. I have included screenshots of battery stats, can someone tell me what's up? One thing to note is that it may be my charger, because I bent the metal part that goes in my phone a while ago. Should that affect the battery life? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something to do with my setup before going out to buy a new charger.

I see cray drains when I flash a new rom too. A charge, a complete discharge, maybe twice and it goes back to normal. When was the last time you did that?
Same it usually takes a couple of days for me to see real battery life in a ROM. I'd test it out for a day or 2 and see if you have any improvements

do you calabrate your battery after switching roms?
That's been debunked but you can akways try.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What kernal are you running? Depending on the governor, I got really bad battery life with 4glte . Its kind of trial and error though.
Let the ROM stabilize for a while.
