That's similar to what my phone reports, and has for a long time now, except my Android OS numbers are higher.
So, yep, it's normal.
Anybody else want to post screenshots of their battery life to compare?

Mine is pretty similar. Most of my use today has been Words With Friends or Boom Beach.

Hi. I am using stock ics. Getting 1.5days of battery with light usage of data(2g). However. Is there a rom that can push it, to a full 2 days? I'm irritated having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. also I would prefer a stable rom only.

you can put a custom kernel that can extend your battery life. i recommend glados for ics.
Are there any problems with it ?

about GlaDos
if you have S-amuled you will have a greenish screen when waking the device
(that can be fixed with some voodoo configuration editing)
other then that i personally think this is the best available kernel for ICS right now.
it has Deep Idle so you will probably see some improvement of battery life

i have 9023, lcd version.. should i flash Nexus beam with it?
Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.
If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

The drain from the AndroidSystem is usually normal for an OS to do that especially for running for 7h or more, but if your really worried about it different kernels can be customized to lower it depending on governors and I/O's
Please post pics of screen on and battery usage screen
Hi guys
I'm on RemICS v3.0 based on 4.2.1 CM alpha 3. From a little my battery goes to death in just 12 hours! I installed both Better Battery Stats and Gsam battery monitor! I noticed just some wakelocks during the night but I noticed (with Gsam) that Media process is draining a lot of battery! I think (took a look on the web) it is a notorius problem! Can someone help me to figure it out! Thank you!

Maybe ur battery's life had gone & should go for new one.
To check, once take out ur battery & spin it on flat surface, if it spins then it's swollen & that means battery has to be changed.

No, try qwerty rom & check. Or else try stock Rom as I told before.

Anyway this doesn't look very good. You may consider buying a new battery...
I think. that 12 hours is quite good. For me it's last just about for 8-7 hours depending on usage.

I had a 2 and half days battery life before!!!
However I did a calibration and now it seems to work better! Let's see!

One year and a half is the age of mine when it started behaving like you describe.
Mine never got to last more than 18 hours, even when the battery was good and with a stock rom. All of a sudden I had to start hoping to get to my office before my battery died. And I live 1 hour away from my office!
Believe me and those who suggest changing the battery. A honest 1900 mAh battery is rather cheap on ebay, and can bring you that reassuring feeling of having power enough at least for a whole day!

Hi, All with my brand new, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and new kernel, HTC ONE S CS (S3) I've noticed poor battery performance.
So is there any app that could help? Of course they are many, but actually is one of them work good on HTC ONE S? Thanks.
There isn't really an app that can save you battery. It depends on what ROM your on. You should around and see which works best

I'm using battery guru. Just started using it so I'm not really sure how well its working. I have found that the kernel can really affect battery life, try flashing to another kernel and give it a couple of days to see if its better.

Kernel is the main contributor to battery life as it is mainly what controls everything behind behind the scenes

It uses a little bit your RAM so there's a small impact on battery life. That's why I use MOADB

What's that like on battery life and ram? Does it block YouTube ads? And finally and importantly... Does it work with ART?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
i'm using adaway and it works perfectly, also with art. because of the way it blocks (routing in the hosts file), websites and apps does not detect it as adblocking.

As far as I remember it takes 5-6Mb of your RAM. About ART it should work (http://www.androidruntime.com/list)
