First, you need spare parts. Go to Battery History and check the % of running time. If its near 100%, your phone isn't sleeping. Next is to find what is causing this issue.
Go to homescreen, hit menu, hit settings. About phone, Battery Use. See what is using the most battery.
Next, go to settings, Applications, running services. See what services are running. If your phone isn't sleeping, its probably one of these services causing it. For me, Coreplayerservice, which is the music player service caused the phone not to sleep.
Spare parts is showing 68% and that's probably because ie been using th phone a lot this morning

You should check the CPU usage next on spare parts...that should show you the apps taking cpu time

ill check that now
68% is very high unless you think that since you unplugged the phone you have literally been using it 2/3 of the time.
If you don't want the full blown Spare Parts app, but want the battery piece then you should download "BatteryHistory" from the market.
Sorry to thread jack, but my usage is 99.2%, thats bad right???

Its not good.
mines at 62% by android system
I have not changed anything... I was getting 16+hours and still having between 15 and 20% left but the last two days I'm hardly getting 10 hours! WTF!
What is a good program for seeing what apps are open when they don't need to be? Would that just be like a tast killer?
Just a little rant... sorry. When I complain to my friends they just call me a nerd... I need to vent to people that understand, haha.
does your ranting require a new thread?
Wow people, how on earth do you guys get battery life of 16hrs. I can hardly get 3 hours on my phone...

Yeah, Its as pointless and useless as your post. Yet we both wanted to say something... so here we both are... wasting space.

you using the phone for straight 3 hours? if yes that's normal.
To the OP check the new apps you've downloaded.

Nope.. I use it moderately. listening to music for maybe an hour brings down my battery levels from 90 to 58% and this thing is draining 1% every 2 mins on standby...
Btw while I was charging my phone and it magically jumped from 8 to 34% in jus 10mins or so(I had switched it off before charging and after few mins of charging, I switched it on to find it on 34%). Is this a factor??
that's ridiculous, that must be an application eating up type battery

jumping percentage means your battery stats is ruined. wipe it, but the battery drain on idle mode isn't about the stats.

If you're charging via USB, you may wish to connect to AC. USB doesn't charge as fast and your phone (apps running, etc) may using power faster than the USB can replenish it.
If you're on AC, turn the phone off and charge it that way. If it continues to decrease this way, there is something seriously weird with your device.
I re-flashed bionix but the battery drain still continues.. Should I change back to toxic darky 9.5 and see how the battery on that thing is working?

I got school at around 6 am. By the time I eat lunch it's already at 57%. By the time I get home around 5 and it's already at 17%.
All I do is listen to music (doubletwist/playerpro) and play Cut the Rope, WTF!?
Cell standy by is 46% in batter usage followed by wifi with 11%
any help guys?
What I tend to do is have brightness down to about half. Have you also tried fully charging the phone, taking the battery out and charging back to full? I sometimes find it drops down but regenerates itself.

Brightness is below half,I never go over. WiFi is on but not all the time.
Stock rom 2.3.4 rooted
Do you have data off?
How's your phone signal most of the time? It has been proven that low/bad signal drains battery quicker than good signal.
Sometimes certain buildings/rooms have pretty bad reception making it a huge drain for your phone.

This is a useful piece of information, however is not really practical. Ideally we don't want to be turning off our phones on every charge :/
I myself own 3 batteries, and alternate them (I have a wall charger for the batteries)
what ver are you using if 2.3.4 the battery issue is fix.
I get 3 /4 bars, at school right new and yea some times I get nothing, especial ly during the subway ruse which is an hour

Once I updated my phone to 2.3.3 I noticed that the battery life was sub-par, only lasting 3/5s of the day on a full charge.
I proceeded to root my phone (as I don't have the money to unlock my Big Red Bootloader); after installing SetCPU I took down the clocking meter 1 notch (768MHz) and the phone is stable with not difference in performance (so far). Doing this and removing some unneeded bloatware has increased my battery life 2.5x and I can go almost 3 days on a single charge.

xiEvo is correct and I've read a lot of good stuff regarding battery life with 2.3.4. I can only begin to imagine what kind of battery life I'll have once I get that update.

I'm 2.3.4.
Honestly I had the best battery life with 2.3.2, IDK why.

wondering if you guys can share your battery consumption after the ICS 4.0.4......
based on what i saw so far, battery was lasting much longer on HC on galaxy tab.
Thanks

Yes, my battery now drains even after a night in airplane mode. Hope this will get fixed soon...
No change. Exactly the same 2-3% per day when in standby with WIFI always on.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
After first install battery drained fast. Charged overnight and wiped battery stats while on AC. Now drains 2-3% in 10 hours standby with WiFi on.
Exactly the same for me too, I suppose it was going faster initially, as it's like having a new toy again and I didn't want to put it down. But now, it's as it was on Honeycomb.

For exemple in cwm: reboot to recovery --> Advanced --> wipe battery. Or use an app like BatteryCalibration.

you can do it much easier... just unplug charger and android OS will reset this file for you.
Deleting this file will do nothing it terms prolonging battery life...

Where does it say to let your tab discharge completely?
My battery after the update runs out faster then on honeycomb. I fully discharged and charged the battery again but it didn't seem to work.

Hi guys, I found out what could be the problem. I installed CPU Spy, charged full the tab and let it over the night (airplane on, wifi off). battery dropper down 11% for 10 hours. BUT, when I looked in battery setting, it showed me that gallery was using 33% of the battery !!!
So gallery is not the problem, it's the new google+ app which is set up to instant upload photos, so I think gallery is trying to upload photos or sync but it could not. I turn the instant upload off, so now I will see if this is the problem, otherwise I will uninstall the stupid google+ app.
So give it a try if you want...

have you been fully charging and fully discharging your phone?
What app did you install? Did you install a new rom? what rom are you on? My guess would be a rouge app. Have a look in the battery usage graph or get spareparts and look at the things that are keeping the phone awake.

I would suggest you download CPU Spy to see if an application is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep mode, for example. You may have a lot of widgets refreshing way too often, as well.

The only widget that refreshs at my home screen is SetCPU, in order to monitor the Temperature, but i will try that app in order to check whats going on thanks.
Ok finally I've managed to see what was the problem that was causing such battery drain/loss... The problem is that i wasnt full charging/discharging, now the battery seems to be working fine. Also I've check cpuspy and nothing is interferindo with the deep sleep.. Thanks for the help

Never fully discharge Li-ion batteries.
But is not fully discharging, under %15 damages battery? And also i put from batter over %95 because after %100, it waits until it drops and again charges if i forget there.
