The "Battery Use" reported by Android is completely out of whack on my Epic. It's the one under "Settings" and then "About phone."
For example, it's listing "Voice calls" as accounting for 83% of my battery use with 3h24m29s of time on. I know for a fact I've only talked on it for ~5min today. In fact, I was curious as to why it was showing 34 mins when I checked it at noon so I kept checking it, and by 12:15, it was showing 1h35m! Totally bizarre, not to mention most of the other battery usage times are off too, including a cell standby time that's shown to be longer than the time that the phone's been on.
Anyone else having this issue?
Haven't noticed this yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Out of curiosity, the battery drain isn't any different though, right? Your battery isn't being drained as if you talked on the phone for 4 hours?

Honestly I can't say. My battery life has been horrendous from the first day I got the phone. Have yet to make it through an entire workday with it. That is even when it just sits in standby when I'm at work. I don't know if that has anything to do with this usage indicator issue. But I went to the local Sprint store today. They didn't really know what was going on so they gave me a new battery to try out. I will report back if anything's changed.
Make sure you condition it real good. Like for the first week, give it a full charge then use it until it dies. I've done that and ran the battery until dead on purpose about three times the first couple days. If the battery is good, the life should get better and more stable. Also I suspect that, after speaking to the dev of battery indicator pro, some brands and models of phones report a ballpark figure and some are just about right on the money. My battery has noticably improved after these full powering cycles and topping off a few times after full.

Well, hopefully that fixes it. I've talked to a few people who have gotten amazing battery life using JuiceDefender to automate turning the 3G connection on and off, which people seem to all agree is the biggest battery killer sans display, and they are claiming going from 100% battery to 95% battery overnight, 2AM to 10AM.
If I leave my phone alone for an hour I will lose that much, and that's with the same JD settings. Then again, even with my EVO I found JD to be nearly worthless. Right now it's claiming 2.11x more battery life, but if it equates to anything in actuality I might be gaining 10 or 15 minutes. Maybe.
Mine is the same way. It sits on standby most of the day. But it still eats up the battery and the phone is always warm.

If 3G sucks as much battery as suspected, then google needs to put a button for it into the Power Control Widget (1 of my favorites).

Sounds like you are suffering from that bug where the phone is always looking for a gsm signal instead of just locking into what it works with cdma.
Press and hold the power button, select airplane mode. Let it sit in airplane mode for a minute and then repeat above steps to disable airplane mode.
Your time without signal should drop significantly thus resulting in a cool phone and much better battery life.
You need to do this every time you reboot the phone by the way. This bug should hopefully be worked out with the froyo update.
Reporting back after new battery and factory reset - still broken. "Battery use" says "Cell Standby" has been on for 20mins after the phone's only been on for 11mins. Seems to be an Android or Touchwiz problem.
Still waiting to see if the new battery will carry it through a 8hr work day. If that doesn't work, then I'm trading it in for an EVO. Too bad since I really liked the physical keyboard on the Epic.

Yep, problem I have is where I live I dont get any signal. I end up roaming thus causing the radio to kill the battery extremely fast. Last night i put the phone In airplane mode and let it charge. Phone cooled down even though it was charging.
So unless I get better signal without Roaming or I move I guess I am just stuck with not being able to use my phone at home or at work.
on mine my battery meter is all off also. my battery widget shows that my phone its at like 40% while my icon in my notification bar is pretty much full like it would be only at 70%... its not even more than half gone. so I know there is an issue with how my phone reads the battery or something

I have had a rooted atrix since release date.
The battery life has been frustratingly bad.
Right now (9am) I am at 86% with the screen having been on 26m.
It's very very very common for my "running" time in spare parts to be 2-3x my screen on time.
Partial wake usage is led by the process: UID 1001, followed by Android System.
Network usage is dominated by process "0" followed by android system. "0" is so far in the lead it is unreal.
My total in all time stats are:
Running 28%
Screen on 14.1%
Phone on 1.5%
Wifi on 30.5% (??????????????)
Wifi running 17.3% (Even more ????????????????????)
I have frozen all of the recommended freezing apps. I have beautiful weather set to refresh every 2 hours. Facebook, twitter, etc, aren't set to notify me at all. I have no idea why it's so bad.
It's coming to the point where i'm about to give up. My nexus one gave me better battery life.
I've already tried a factory reset, is there something i'm overlooking?
What is UID 1001? What is "0"?
The most frustrating phone I've ever owned. It is so close to greatness. I wish I could get rid of this terrible terrible terrible motorola blue garbage.
I've been struggling with battery life too for some reason. If you have Tango installed, get rid of it. That app didn't let your phone sleep and drained battery. Now my problem is the sensor usage when I check my battery history in *#*#INFO#*#*. Android system has been using the sensor 100% of the time for me. I factory reset it, but that didn't work either. I'm really contemplating going back to my N1 too, which is such a shame since this Atrix has so much potential

Do you have 'autosync' turned on?
P.S How long until your phone goes from 100% to 0%?

Has your phone ever gotten down to 5%-10% or do you always recharge it before then? I've had issues in the past where a lith-ion battery loses lots of its capacity until completely drained and then completely recharged. It seems way to early for this for you, but it might help. From my limited experience, gps is very very costly in terms of battery.

Draining a li-on battery completely more than once a month damages the battery. It's a very bad practice.
I'm having the same issue with UID 1001 under Partial Wake Usage and I also have the 0 under Network Usage. Under Partial Wakelock it shows UID 1001 and a total time of 7h 7m 30s under Total in all time. I've tried a hard reset and still showed up. Have you guys checked to see if you are getting the same thing. If people are getting good battery but have this then I'll feel a little better. I just thought it was weird. I still get this even with WiFi, BT and GPS off.
Under Network Usage the 0 is pretty much all blue all the way across and a little bit of pink at the end. If i try to click on it "Settings has stopped unexpectedly" message.
The battery doesn't seem to last as long as my n1. With my n1 I still have roughly half when I get home from work. The atrix was at 30 or so when I got home today and its been similar most of the times.

I am also not terribly happy with the battery usage. Maybe its because I have WiFi on all the time?
Also, just having bluetooth on (but not connected to any BT devices), shouldn't be a big drain on the device.
The main auto-sync feature I have is Exchange push notifications. Gmail only syncs every 3 hours.
I also have device running time on Spare Parts higher than Screen On Time.
I am going to try a factory reset and add applications one by one to see if that has any effect.
I've let it fully discharge once. I just can't sort it out. People in the other threads are getting 1+ DAYS uptime.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
With light usage I was originally down to about 20% at the end of the day. That's now improved to 50-60% charge after installing the 'green power' app recommended in another thread and further improved by turning off the auto brightness.
Auto brightness is good but needs to be reduced by about 30% to be useful.
Gps Navigation with google is the biggest battery drained I've seen so far. Its on the order of using 1% charge per minute. Im hoping that an offine nav app will be more efficient.

There are a lot of reviews stating that spareparts IS the cause of battery issues. Maybe uninstall that and use the built in battery manager to determine use?

Really? It seems to just be a monitoring app.
I kno a lot of people are getting poor wifi reception.. if u find its constantly low and/or switching to 3g it will kill the battery. Its best to switch it off an use 3g or get closer to the router. I've jus recently discovered this is the reason for my crap battery life. Give it a go guys and see if I'm rite

That's what I always had it set to, but I've seen a ton of threads here and elsewhere which say it's better to just leave the wifi sleep policy to never.
Seem counter intuitive, but apparently it saves more battery life...
funny discovery today, switched on wifi sharing for a while and the battery drain massively( 5% per 10mins). Switched it off and the drain continued, for some reason my computer could still see the wifi spot even though it was off?

I don't get that much battery drain on wifi
Don't know if it falls under the same as wifi sharing... but today I turned wifi off using the toggle button and my battery is alot better.
Its been near 6 hours since unplugged and its had a fair amount of use today as its been shown of to alot of people at work....and in 6 hours my battery has only dropped to 82%...
I used to leave wifi on all the time on my desire hd...with no discernable battery loss....bit I shall be actively turning it off when not in use on my sgs2 as since the difference is massive
My testing yesterday was giving me around 4% an hour drain with my phone sat doing nothing with the screen off!
With wifi toggled off thats dropped to 3% with medium/heavy use
Many people report that battery drain after upgrade their Nexus S to android 4.0.4. So the main reason for that is our android 4.0.4 leaves wifi on even when the phone is sleep.
How to fix: Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> change it to "only when plugged in" or "never"
And now, my phone's battery can last more than two days
I have found that keeping the WiFi on always actually improves my battery life. This is especially true when there is a weak signal (like in the basement of my house).
With WiFi always on, I get minimal drain (maybe 20% for the entire day) with the standard battery. Without that, I was able to maybe 16 hours before the battery was entirely dead.
How is this any different than just turning Wi-Fi off if you aren't in range?

it doesn't sound like reasonable
If there is wifi network available you should ALWAYS connect to it as opposed to cellular data. Does not matter whether screen is on or off. If you got wifi available use it at all times.
glad someone opened a thread to state the obvious
I find wifi drains significantly more battery than when on the 3G data connection.
How does this help when I'm out in the world with wifi off?

I agree, having wifi off would end up using cellular data, a very quick and fast drain on the battery. If you have wifi most of the time then this shouldn't be disabled, I found that having wifi on all the time actually helps improve battery life since my phone doesn't hog onto the cellular data network. I am around wireless most of the day & night, so I end up using more of WIFI.
This particularly makes sense during the nights, when the phone is hooked onto wifi instead of cellular data.
My dads nexus runs stock unrooted 4.0.4 and he got 2.5 days of battery life from a full charge.. (mobile data on the whole time and wifi to update some apps. Ill try to make a photo if he gets home tomorrow. ( i checked this evening and it was at 29% (2 days and 19hours on battery)

Or use battery saver apps, like GreenPower, which you can set to only sync your email and/or apps once every 15 mins./30 mins./1 hr./etc. You can also set it to "Night mode" and schedule it to automatically turn off WiFi and Data connections during a certain period (I set mines at 12am to 7am, so I won't be bothered during sleep with any email and/or app notifications... and also save my NS' battery).
i was at 55% at about 5pm yesterday after 10+ hours of battery usage, 1.5hrs of screen, and probably 2 hours of LTE (the rest wifi). i use juice defender so when the screen is off it generally cuts data signals for me. well from 5pm to 9pm my battery went from 55% to 1% with maybe less than 30 minutes of usage (all on LTE though). i looked and no unwanted programs were running in the background.
i charged it overnight, got up and after an hour this morning of ALL standby (seriously the screen was on 3m), i went from 100% to 87%. that would mean on 100% standby the phone would have died within 8 hours, which is definitely not right or even similar to previous battery usage for me.
i restarted my phone, recharged, and so far it has been on for 40 minutes and the battery is at 99% with 2m of screen time, which makes a lot more sense. so have you ever experienced something like this where an android OS restart helps your battery, or does it sound like i might have a bad battery?

Install Carat, it will tell you exactly what is draining your battery. I'm guessing something something is syncing in the backgruond and killing your battery.

I seem to get it when I am in a poor LTE coverage area, which includes one of my offices. It is strange. "Cell Standby" will usually have the largest battery usage in your settings. My temporary fix is to turn off "mobile data" from the toggle in notifications, especially if you have wifi where you are. You can usually tell when the battery is being drained b/c your phone will stay warm even with no apps running and the screen off. The only other thing that seems to help is restarting it every day or so. When I don't have this problem, the battery life on this phone is amazing, so I don't think it's a bad battery. If you find out a better solution, please let me know!
I'm assuming you get off work at 5 and use the phone more. If so, turn off juice defender when you leave work. Since juice defender turns off your signal, you have to reconnect every time you use the phone. That kills battery more than anything

Doesnt that defeat the purpose of having JD? Has anyone shown than JD uses more battery than not having it at all?
Fyi cell standby doesnt actually use as much battery as it reports, its just incorrectly displayed on the battery meter. Hopefully there will be an update to fix it eventually. Google it if you want to fix it manually.

Cell standby is just a reporting bug. It is not actually draining your phone as much as it shows.
There are two separate problems. There is the problem on the international S3's where it is reporting cell standby incorrectly. There is another problem with some of the ATT S3's where they are continually connecting or re-connecting to the network where they have a poor LTE signal. This is actually using the battery. You can feel the heat from your phone when you have no apps open and it is normally cool to the touch. The only solution I have found so far is to turn off mobile data, and the phone will cool down again and stop draining battery.

Right. It's just cosmetic.
I don't have LTE in my area and my battery life is okay. I use wifi at my house and at work. I just think it could be better, but i am used to my dinc with my custom rom and kernel. Amazing battery life. I can't wait until we get some sweet roms and kernels for the S3. So far i am super impressed with the phone.

i think you guys are right. the only thing that fixed my problem was restarting, which obviously also turned off/on the mobile data. how would you do that normally? just hit airplane mode and then turn it back on?
do you guys think this is a bug with AT&T that will be fixed?

This isn't a problem that too many people are having, but there are enough that it must be a bug, at least for ATT. There is a toggle in your notifications that will turn off mobile data. I don't think it is enough to just turn it off and back on. If you are in an area with bad reception, you have to leave it off or the draining continues. If you find something else that works, please share with us.

Just to confirm, a reboot fixed it. I was running my phone for over 10 days straight before it happened so as long as it only happens every 2 weeks or so it doesn't matter

I'm also seeing this issue; battery gets hot and drains quick in sleep.
I'm running stock, and only rooted.
I do notice when checking my battery that "Android System" is taking up the majority of my battery, by a considerable amount. Is anyone else who is experiencing the drain issue also seeing this under their battery reporting menu?
