Ok so let start off by saying i have posted my problem on other threads and havnt got a reply.
this all started since i updated to 4.1.2 battery life sucks it drains way to quick when i check battery status its says android os 40%-50% (it once reached 62%) i erased the tablet and still the samething, i then flashed stock images samething. now i running CM 10 and its around 20%-30%, its either 4.1.2 has this bug or my tablet is bad, any advice will be appreciated
Thanks
Could it be any apps you've got installed?
I only have Google apps installed
Bump, no has any ideas??
Have you been watching battery stats. Get gbat app from play store run it in background thru a few change cycles it will show exactly what is using your battery.
Nobody can help without more information

That app will tell the bad app i have installed? and in settings under battery is says Android OS around 50%-60%
I will give you stats to diagnosis the trouble.
Have you tried to factory reset the tablet.
What amount of Android knowledge do you have. Seems like you have a auto task killer running in background. Or a very rogue app. Start posting some info and not just please fix. The advice you get it only as good as the info of the issue your having. This is why you are not getting good solid help.
Hope you understand.

Get better battery stats to check the wakelocks. You might have a rogue app.

The app is called better battery stats. It's a paid app on the play store, or if you search the app section it's free

Hey all.
Does anyone know of a (preferably free) app which can give accurate information on what's draining your battery?
The inbuilt battery info screen is useless... just tells me its all the display, which I know isn't true.
I just found out that certain apps are constantly running and might be hitting the battery, even though they don't show as running in task manager. PowerAmp for example. I just replaced it with WinAmp to see how that works out, but how do I know it isn't doing the same thing?
I need to be accurately told what is draining my battery so I can make smart choices as to what to remove. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks. I just installed it. Nice bit of software. Shows me what's running... skype, quickoffice and titanium all have processes running after reboot even though they are not active...
What it doesn't show me is which of these background processes is using the most battery.
Is there anything that will do that?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, the paid version. It will show you which processes are using the most CPU (which translates into battery consumption). It's a massively awesome, very well coded app that is worth the $2.99
So, I started using XGin 4 2 weeks ago. Very great ROM with no bugs at all but I noticed that the battery was draining quite fast. During the night, with airplane mode on, the battery consumption was 10%. With other ROMs such as Floyo, I had just 1% drain or maybe even none. At first I thought the problem was Google Maps as it was always running in the background. I froze the app but nothing changed. Then, I froze the Email app (email.apk not gmail.apk) and then...massive difference. I would keep surfing the internet, playing games and so, the battery would remain the same. Battery loss during the night, 1%. No trace at the awake time bar!!! I can go now 4 days till the battery dies.
I heard that in XGin 5 there is a battery drain fix but I haven't tested it yet.
So, if you have fast battery drain, try freezing the email.apk and use another email app such as K-9.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that when I froze the email app, Google maps was already frozen. Both apps are frozen now. I don't know if the battery drain will change if you freeze just the email app.
Freeze those apps using AntTek app manager from the market.
Can you tell me how to froze that apps please?? , thanks

Maybe because K9 is not a system app it may not start by itself but I've never used K9 before so I can't guarantee you anything.
I tested the solution. No improvement. I'm using XGin 5.1, the undervolt option is on, I froze the mail apk, I'm not using 3G 'cause it drains a lot of battery. I don't know what else to freeze. I also froze the maps.apk. Still no improvement.
I will give another try after I fully charge the phone.
Cheers!
Gmail and map is frozen.
8h = 7% drain.
Sync and 3G is off.
Generally freezing Gmail didn't help me more than before.
However map is consuming a lot of energy.
So, I will keep map frozen and that's fair enough.

I can't find email/mail apk through root uninstaller.
This has worked so well for me. I'm on my third day without charging and still have 31% battery! That's with a little less use than normal but I'm still very impressed and happy with the results!
Can't sleep tonight so just researching apps this morning. Have you guys or gals used either? Do you recommend one over the other?
BatteryGuru is officially made by Qualcomm so you would expect it to be pretty key to phone optimisation. Also it didn't require root.
Greenify had received many great reviews and the author is constantly updating which is good. Requires root however.
Thanks!

No real reason to be scared to root any more. We have the stock images in case you soft brick, boot loop, etc. I was worried to, but it was an extremely simple and quick root process. You just plug in the phone and your rooted after a couple mouse clicks
Also, I recommend freezing the ota applications in TiBu. Never know when at&t may send an OTA that could patch the boot loader exploit. Better be safe than sorry with this one.
Sorry to drag the thread off topic. Just thought I would throw in my $.02 after your comment on rooting. Best of luck

How does that greenify app work? Say you select all your apps, and then it hibernates them does it wake up when needed or if you get a message or notification?
The app specifically says not to enable apps that have certain notifications such as SMS and whatnot, so I would make sure that you don't do it to apps that you need to be notified.

They will wake up when you open them, then hibernate when you close them. Basically if you use it for all apps expect to not mulitask at all (looking at messages, wont recieve phone calls; looking at Internet, wont recieve SMS)
If you have to use either one you don't know how to save your battery. Get better battery stats and learn what is causing your battery drain. These apps only use battery.

Greenify uses a lot less battery then tons of bad apps running. I like using Facebook app but couldn't careless about the notifications and such. Yes I coukd go in and stop them but not all apps let me (cnet for example) so having a single place to hibernate the apps I dont want running in the background is nice.
Since the update from jellybean to KITKAT I've had this peculiar problem with the phone. The battery drops overnight from 100℅ to 0℅ say withing 6-7 hours. First time the juice was sucked out of the battery by whatsapp and this time its Google search. I'm on stock 4.4 KRT16S. Please help me. Posting screenshots along.
I'm using ART runtime as well. An its happened since I switched from dalvik. So can anybody explain and give me a solution.

Are you using google launcher experience? if yes, probabily you will have to disable it and install another one. Another thing you should do is go in location services and turn all off, this should solve your problem.

Go in settings/apps/ look for google search and clear data/defaults/cache, this should work!
This problem has not occurred after the 4.4.2 update. But then anyways reset my phone and installed everything back again. Since then, I haven't had this problem. Using Google experience launcher v10.

I'm kind of keeping factory reset as a last resort.Because if I'm going to lose my data I might as well root at that point.And I even Tried updatding to 4.2.2 with the updates of Google search Uninstalled but it didn't work for me.. The drain is too much for me
Even reported it to Google. It's messed up how they let this pass because I've searched a lot and this issue is faced by many people and they have no solution but to Force stop the app or turn off Google Now
Edit:BTW Thanks both of you for replying so quickly

Could someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I've searched but can't seem to find the basic info. I have very little background in flashing and such.
I rooted my thunderbolt years ago with little guidance and than bought a rooted bionic. But now I'm lost with all the terms. Looking for somewhere that will explain what everything means so I can then choose what os to flash, and how to do it in recovery.
Thank you,

Right now there isn't a whole lot you can do until the devs port custom roms to our phone. They didn't know it was going to be possible to unlock our bootloader or root(after kitkat update) , and therefore didn't put much effort into later versions. At most, you can install the latest CWM and backup your current rom in preparation for if you decide to install custom roms. That's basically where I am right now.

You can freeze or remove the bloatware. Just make a backup first.

By the looks of it, I should stay with stick KK for now? I have froze a few apps with titanium but looking for something to improve my battery. I'm going through battery in about 5 hours. I was getting 10-12 on JB. Still looking for a way to go back to JB.

Yes stick with KK for now. That's surprising that your battery is draining so fast now. Can you go to your battery usage and see what is sucking up most of your juice? I have heard others state that it took a few days for their phone to settle in after the upgrade (I personally think people were so excited for the new OS that they were just using their phone a lot more than they were before .) I know mine has been draining faster because I've been doing so many things with it since the update. I highly recommend the app "Greenify" since you are rooted. It will automatically hibernate any non-necessary background apps that suck up ram, battery, and data.

Sure thing. When its all good and working...it should appear something like this
Agree on greenify. It is an truly awesome app for improving battery life! Better battery stats with root use enabled for checking wakelocks also. I had the same experience with motorcare. Major batterydrainer. Being able to properly disable apps, is worth rooting alone.
