I'm rooted first of all.
Well, wifi, all GPS, and bluetooth off.
my battery was okay, it lasted for a day mostly. and I think about 2 days ago, the battery suddenly getting worse. Everything remains same. I haven't changed any option, but the bettry is suddenly worse.
I don't use my phone that much. like I got a phone call yesterday and today? no texting, no internet, no app uses.
I charged my battery full(til 11am or til noon), then it dies before 5pm.
(Today I charged my phone til 9:40am, got only one single phone call lasted 1-2mins, and my battery is already 47%.)
It's just terrible! Anyone has same prob????
I'm in California BTW.
are you rooted?
what rom/kernel?

I'm rooted and I think it's stock rom.
I just followed the manual perm root process.
It's weird because under same conditions, battery got totally worse than before. It lasted at least for a day, but now, it lasts only 4-5 hrs with same amount of usage under same conditions.
ever figure this out?
Just rooting will not change anything to your battery life. You need to install a rom or a different kernel in order for it to change anything.
Mine too has gotten worse in the last week. I am not rooted. At this point my battery is draining roughly 25% per hour with little or no use. Spare parts shows the most usage on my phone is 0. I have tried getting rid of weather bug, Pandora and sirius. I tried looking for something to explain exactly why 0 takes up 10x more battery than Android system itself and I have came to the conclusion that I am lost. Any direction to the correct forum topic would be appreciated.

Have you tried the "Blockbuster" mod?
1) open the Blockbuster Application, it should ask you to update.
2) once the update has finished open the application back up and
3) navigate to Menu>Settings> "Disable Movie Updates"
Users have reported better battery life.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have updated and disabled the Blockbuster app. Better yet even I just rebooted my phone and it drained 12% on the battery. How is that possible. I am using my stock battery now and not the extended, so the % would be different with the stock compared to my extended but really I don't think it should use 12% on a reboot.

I guess you and I are on the same page! I charged mine til 9:40 am and went to work yesterday. I got only one phone call that lasted 1-2mins. The battery was already 52%. All GPS was off, bluetooth off, Wifi off, everything off except 4G. I sent a text and received a text, and the battery drained to 46%. After a few mins with no use of the phone, the battery warning sound played. So I had to charge my phone at that point. It is just totally weird. Under same condition and same usage of the phone, the battery lasted for a day at least. (4G was on at the point.) I don't know what cause this problem. Anyways, I just unrooted mine and got a software update via OTA. I don't know if this will fix the problem. Any luck to you yet?
I am going to charge tonight and try current settings tomorrow and see how long battery last. It is to the point if I have to turn all this stuff off, doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a smartphone?

Try ZD Box
Try ZD Box, and use its task killer to stop any programs your not using right then. Pandora is another app that loves to stay on and chew at your battery...
My phone just started doing this as well. I've been using the TBolt for a couple of weeks now.
Just yesterday my battery life took a serious nose dive. I've adjusted all the settings I can and the battery is dropping like a drunk girl's panties...
I'm having to charge it all the time now just to keep it from giving me the low battery warning.
Ok well here it goes . Off charger for 30 mins 7 text ,this post and a restart and down 10% already. Wtf

That's about what mine took on average to reboot. 10-12%.
I'm at 72% after 11 hours of idle usage and that's on the 2750mah extended battery. That would put me at 46% after 12 hours having not touched the phone once. I literally fell asleep as I took it off the charger...
Something is jacked up and I don't know what.
Rooted, Virus ROM B3, 1.8G kernel (forget which).
I've gone to Imoseyon's Sense lean kernel, special edition.
We'll see how that goes...?
Wanted to report back as I think the culprit may be the wireless tether app.
I turned GPS, WiFi and all my sync's back on and the phone is back to giving me decent battery life.
I did some changes with the tether app and I'll report back to see if my suspicions are correct.
Anyone experiencing battery drain on ICS? I upgraded, rooted, and removed some of the bloatware to help. Thought it was fixed but my tab is dead again. Says the Android OS is taking up my juice. Was never a problem before. Could leave it on standby for days with HC. Now its dead in a day or less.

I initially saw similar behavior, but once I killed the cached processes once, and since have shut down to charge and started new, I haven't seen that behavior.
Do you have WiFi on? Could it be you have apps that are checking to be updated? I know in the past on my phone my Amazon Appstore has a habit of starting itself up and continually checking for updates for itself and for any apps I got from Amazon.
Tried it both ways...wifi on and off.
Try using CPU spy (free in market) or betterbatterystats (free- search for it here on XDA) to see what is eating up your battery exactly.

I noticed that I had a conflict between "Power Savings" settings and the "Display" settings. Putting them both at 1 minute resulted in an always on screen I had to disable the Power Savings to correct the problem.
I did have something odd happen yesterday that seems to have kept my screen on for 4 hours. When I got home and opened my case the tab was very warm, and shut off. And all but entirely out of power, before that it has used about 10 % in 17 hours of standby with about an hour of use, or so.
I think it is possible that an app that previously didn't keep the screen on is now for some reason keeping it on, and I didn't notice when I closed the leather cover.
No issues today, but I am going to try and see if I can find some release notes to tell me about the new download for ICS for the P6210, perhaps this is addressed?
Just to update I installed the betterbatterystats. I showed a couple of things that were keeping my tab awake. Once I fixed those I thought that would be it but it was still draining. I then installed juice defender and had it turn wifi off every time I turned the screen off. That did it. Was never like this before the update but at least its good to know I fixed it.
i suggest checking better battery stats for AudioOut_1 Partial Wakelock. its been draining my phone fast when i upgraded to ICS.
check it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629346
now my battery is working great.. i just left my tab for 10 hrs in the locker when i got the tab its still have 97% battery.
for me i just checked and changed my wifi sleep policy from never to when screen turns off and its fine now. :highfive:
I thought about this very issue; I decided to wait.

Did you download the ICS as opensource? Myself, I am deciding to wait for the OFFICIAL verson to be released.
I had the same problem. i even went back to HC to make sure
the issue is not there (it wasn't) and upgraded to ICS
again (full wipe all the time). No luck something keeps
my device unable to go to deep sleep.
Now i'm back at HC again

The version is OFFICIAL .
It's just available only for some countries.
i had the huge battery drain issue while in stock ICS..
the tablet simply refused point blank to go into deep sleep.. in HC it would but not in ICS.. i would take the tablet fully charged to work and not use it much there.. by the time i was travelling back it would be 60% drained in not using it througout the day...
recently flashed to aorths CM9 build and all my battery woes are gone.. now when i get back from work the battery is at 96%!!
battery drain during usage is the same but the CM9 build has awesome battery conservation stuffs for when you dont use it..
would suggest everyone who has these battery issues to move to CM9.. really helped for me.
My battery usage on CM9..

Early results show Juice Defender is helping a lot with mine too. Thanks for the tip!
Next morning: Just the free version of Juice Defender using the default profile took me from 35% overnight drain yesterday down to 3% overnight drain today. That's not bad. It should be even better tomorrow because I've turned off all location services after seeing that BetterBatteryStats says Google location is the worst single offender at keeping wifi going overnight.

Could you tell me how you "killed cached processes" please?
I am having similar battery drain. I am in the process of completely charging battery after it drained 40% in sleep mode last night, wifi off in sleep mods, notifications off, sync off.
I have already done a reset to factory, tried draining battery, and recharged in off position.
Nothing is helping so far. I have installed better battery stats, and CPU spy this morning, and will have data tomorrow morning.
thanks for any help

I had the same exact problem ever since the stock ICS update. My Tab Plus is all stock, no mods at all. The battery would completely drain after one day, and I have very little on the Tab Plus. Nothing helped at all, so I finally bit and did a factory wipe. The battery drain stopped immediately, so I started changing the settings back to the way I like it.
Then, next day the battery went completely dead again! I back tracked and figured out exactly what it is which makes absolutely NO SENSE - turning off wifi in sleep was what was draining the battery! See my screen captures. Notice on the first screen shot, as soon as the wifi stays on the battery drop bar stayed almost flat.
I observed a similar behavior on my 100% stock AT&T GS3 phone also, turning wifi off during sleep causes more battery drain.
I'm getting "suspend backoff" under kernel wakelocks which is preventing my tab going to deep sleep when unused. Everytime I wakeup in the morning my tab is dead. The only solution I found was to turn off wifi if I'm not using it. Anyway fixing this?

THAT worked!!!!! awesome thanks
I've seen a couple threads praising their s4s for how long the battery life and in one case how much it flatlines while it's idle.
Since I've had mine , I've noticed the opposite. Using it very casually throughout the day with some light texting it'll drain probably about 30-40% while doing very little of anything.
But the part that stands out the most is when my s4 is idle overnight , it'll drop about 17-20% while others have reported seeing very little loss.
Has anyone else expierenced poor battery life? Is this normal for my s4 to do?
The only features I have turned on are; Wifi, Sound, Mobile Data, and Sync.

Seems you have a run away app that is sucking your battery. If you are rooted, check out Better Battery Stats on xda. I get at most ~2% in an hour but normally its not even 1%.

Weird.. I don't think I have any apps that are running wild in the background. I'm not rooted atm though.
If it were a mystery app running in the background, would it be listed on the battery stats screen showing the % each program is taking up?

One of the problems I had when updating to my new S4 was the memory card. Going from the S3 to the S4 was not good. The S4 didnt like the memory card and was causing high Gallery cpu/battery usage. Reformating the card fixed that problem.
Now, my Galaxy S4 has the best life of any Android I have ever had. At the end of the day, it still has 40% battery remaining with an screen on time of around 4 hours.

I think you're aiming in the right direction here. That was one of my guesses was that sync is draining it fast.
Just checked what i had under accounts. The only ones that were syncing were Google (toggled off a few of the features i don't use so i only sync what i do use, drive , calender etc)
The only other one that was on was Samsung account which i just toggled off as well since I don't have any need for that to be synced up whatsoever.
The only other apps I can think of that actively try to sync are my gmail and facebook. I'm not sure how to view the frequency for gmail to sync, but facebook is set up to check every hour.

Here is mine on little usage. About a good 2-3 hours of screentime, everything turned on, max brightness, and live wallpaper...
I also had a 64GB MicroSD from my Galaxy S II that I did not format.
From the screenshot, the MediaServer is from the live wallpaper, and Maps -> almost every location setting in maps setting is checked... which will change soon... :good:
FWIW, GSMArena did a new battery test for the i9505 after the recent OTA update:

Look on XDA, its free.
Also after the OTA update my battery life is about 2x worse. Before I would lose 1% overnight and now i lose about 3%. Before I could get 4hrs screen on time with 20hrs standby, and now I am at 35% with 10 hours standby and 2hrs 6min on screen on.
Going to factory reset tonight.
I have only slightly better battery life than my rooted inspire 4g with a 1230 mah battery....
I cant WAIT for the custom roms and developers tweaking these phones...there is soo much potential for this device!

It started about a week ago when I downloaded the "myfitnesspal" app. My battery started draining really fast, prior to the app I was getting 2 days of battery life, and after I am getting less than a full shift at work. I tried freezing the app and it didn't fix anything. I downloaded the better battery stats app to see what was going on, and it seems like my phone never sleeps, but I really don't know how to use the battery app. I'm attaching some pictures if anyone has any a advice, i'd appreciate it.

Something is holding your phone awake (over 5 hours from what Better Battery stats is saying) Try downloading Wakelock Detector and see what app is holding your phone awake.
Some app is keeping ur phone awake and using the WiFi continuously in that process... Maybe that's why your phone doesn't go into deep sleep mode... Are you rooted?!? Try Greenify... Its pretty good.. It helps hybernate apps that you aren't actively using....
Got it sorted out. It was the"myfitnesspal" app, Just as I basically knew. BUT..., freezing the app didn't do anything. I had to actually fully uninstall it and reboot.
Thanks for the suggestion of the wake lock app. I never heard of it, and it could be useful later also

Did the S-Off; Custom Recovery; Permanent Root last night. Everything went fine, rebooted after everything was done and charged my phone to 100%.
Wake up this morning after not touching the phone for 8 hours and the phone lost 30% over night. Looking at the battery stats the Kernel (Android OS) took up 60% of the battery. Wakelock Detector is showing Google Search as a wakeup trigger 92 times.
Before this whole process I was averaging 5-6 hours of screen on time, anybody else seeing some weirdness going on with their battery life?

Can Google search be a random wakelock sometimes for seemingly no reason? Absolutely.

No I will look around for that though and see what it's about.
I've been rooting my phones since the Thunderbolt and I'm my opinion/experience nothing is better than stock. Once I started messing with Kernels, custom recoveries, Roms, "tweaks" ect...battery seems to be affected big time. Maybe its things I do as I'm not an expert at any of this and by no means am I trying to bash on devs for the work they do but that has just been my personal experience.

FWIW I didn't experience any sort of battery drain with the temp root before we got S-Off.
root and s-off will not affect battery. Xposed modules, root apps, and other mods can. I have about 6 or so xposed modules running and I still get way, way over 1.5 days of battery life. I had 2 hours of screen on time and my phone used 55% in 1.5 days so.... its pretty good. Check to make sure google now isnt causing wakelocks, turn off location reporting and if you can, turn off google now completely. I really only used it for weather because I don't see much other functionality with it.

Check to make sure google now isnt causing wakelocks, turn off location reporting and if you can, turn off google now completely. I really only used it for weather because I don't see much other functionality with it.

I haven't added any apps since running the temp root when I was getting great battery life.
I did the s-off, recovery, and root...uninstalled Verizon bloat and that's it.
Lost 30% over night last night. I drained the battery to 1% last night, turned phone off and charged to 100%, unplugged and didn't touch it....woke up to 70% battery life.

Have you tried flashing the insecure kernel yet? If not, you should and then see how your battery life is.
FWIW I didn't experience any sort of battery drain with the temp root before we got S-Off.

Clearly you have wakelock issues. Get gsam battery and wakelock detector, post your stats after your phone is idle for a few hours.

I've had both of those running since the temp. root. which screens will give you the best idea of what is going on?
I did flash the insecure kernel earlier this afternoon, and turned off google now.
If anything try a factory reset. It should definitely help.

Post the gsam home screen and the apps section. Also post the home screen of wakelock detector for kernel wakelocks
Most s-off will turn on debug process.
return s on state after you have done modes or you need many tweaks in further.

Did the S-Off; Custom Recovery; Permanent Root last night. Everything went fine, rebooted after everything was done and charged my phone to 100%.
Wake up this morning after not touching the phone for 8 hours and the phone lost 30% over night. Looking at the battery stats the Kernel (Android OS) took up 60% of the battery. Wakelock Detector is showing Google Search as a wakeup trigger 92 times.
Before this whole process I was averaging 5-6 hours of screen on time, anybody else seeing some weirdness going on with their battery life?
