What is up with the battery life on 2.3.3?

After replacing the battery with a 1600 mah Seidio battery. I still get bad results. For example, during lunch today my phone was at 50% in my locker. After 4 hours, I was at 21%. My Sync, GPS, BT and Wifi are all OFF.
How is this possible?
I use to own a Nexus One and in 4 hours it would go down 2% with CM6. Is Gingerbread an issue here or does my phone need RMA repair?
2.3.3 gives me better battery than 2.1 or 2.2

superaosp from [email protected] stock kernel or redstars depends but cm7 and stock OTA gave me better battery than 2.2/2.1
I'm running stock 2.3.3 and battery life is by far the best over various android versions.
2.3.3 has some weird bug where every once in a while the system gets into a weird drain state like it doesnt go into deep sleep correctly. i just got hit with this last night. it does happen all the time, most of the time on 2.3.3 battery life is excellent. i will lose 6% over 8 hours. but when that awake bug DOES kick in, battery drops like yours did.
you just have to reboot and check it again, the bug likely will clear itself and you wont see it again, for a while.

yes, this is exactly what the bug is. sometimes randomly on GB the phone stays awake for no reason, for hours. but when this DOESNT happen, batteyr life is superb. i only get hit with this bug once a week or less.

My N1 on 2.3.3 goes completely dead after 12hrs. I found the solution when doing a Google search. It's to go to Wifi Settings, Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, and change it to Never. You'd think that would reduce battery life, but for some reason now my phone's battery life is very significantly improved. Now it's only down to about 30% after 19hrs when I put it on the charger.
It appears that 2.3.4 will address battery issues in Gingerbread.

That's pretty cool even though I've not had any major battery issues.
But improvements are always welcome

I dont think its Gingerbread, ive used both stock and CM7 on my N1 and i was having good bat life on N1 stock gingerbread about 5-6 hours with heavy use, and with CM7 official rom i get 7-8 hours heavy use and up to 19 hours on days i barely use the phone, and on standby i can confirm 8 hours (while im asleep) it drains 6% by the time i wake up of course i do have it personalized and settings applied for bat savings.
I haven't encountered this bug with CM 7.0.3 (based on 2.3.3) but I found it very useful to let the phone just drain the battery completely once in a while (once in a few weeks) and than fully charge it.
After doing that, I can go through two days with regular usage of the device
I'm on CM 7.0.3, 2.3.3 and I'm only getting 13-15 hrs if I'm lucky. Wifi and bluetooth are off only syncing gmail and google contacts. I barely even touch my phone at work for 8 hrs and the battery life sucks.
Another weird thing is that once it gets to 15% left it just automatically dies and shuts down...very frustrating, I'm on the latest pershoot kernel too, the phone was given to me for free last month and it was originally purchased in Feb '10 so I just figure the battery is old and worn out.

No. Your battery is not aged, it just needs re-calibration.
One simple way is to re-calibrate your battery is to charge it when the phone is off or charge using a desktop charher, and you have to over-charge a bit - just leave the battery connecting to power source for an additional 1 hour or more, when the charging process has been completed.
This works every time for me.
Keep in mind that from time to time the battery may need to be re-calibrated again for peak performance.

LPY with extremely crap battery life?

Guys, I just updated my note to official LPY with root. The installation was smooth, also reinstalled all my apps.
It's the same set of apps I used and I had been careful in disabling the background sync.
Woke up at 9am fully charged, then completely dry at 5pm, not even intensive use.
Anyone else see yhe same problem?

i am on official with cf root kernel and been on for 13 hours with 11% used. superb battery life for me
LPY with CF rooted kernel, 3h of voice call, wifi always on, auto mail check every hour (3 accounts), ebook/comics reading.
1 day and 9 hours on battery and still have 31% left. Not bad for me, round 2% per hour.
Surprisingly that airplane mode -> turn off phone -> pull battery -> turn on phone -> disable airplane mode trick worked for me. Also the pull battery part was essential for no idea what reason.
Now after almost 4 hours intensive use I still have 70%, kinda meets my expectations now.

This is one thing everyone should try...the other thing is (as always): Use the ROM for a week or so! Load and reload it a few times (100% - ~5%)...the battery has to "settle" every and each time you flash a new rom.
mine seems fine. been sitting next to me for the last 4 hours and so far it has lost about 3%
I am also having a horrific battery life. It was much better with both stunner and cm9. I am trying to go back but not sure how to. Dont want to flash anything and brick my phone.

In my hands, the airplane mode trick works, but toggling the energy saving menu restores the no-deep-sleep battery drain state.
Connecting and disconnecting from external power or car dock doesn't seem to precipitate the drain, instead.
Please try yourself to confirm.... In this first ics firmware, knowing what to do to make it work at best is of great importance.

Im actually having the same issue with battery life. Was using miui and other ics roms with great battery life.
Im assuming its a rouge app or service. But i had 15% drain overnight from 1am-730am and thats not normal when device is not being used.

Poor Battery Life

I have the European version of the phone amd seem to suffer from poor batery life. The phone can barely be used 3 hours continously. I didn't fully charge the battery the first time so is this the cause? If yes how do I fix it? Also I have everything like Wi-fi etc off so that's not the cause.

if you're comfortable rooting/flashing custom roms onto your phone I'd suggest trying that. I get twice as much battery life out of my phone with the omega 28 rom
Give betterbatterystats a go..(free to xda members) and you'll be able to determine what programs etc are draining your battery.
Your screen time of 3 hours mind you is not too far off with what you can pull off with this device.. (4 hours tends to be a good number).. also taking into account the fact the device wasn't fully charged.

I`m on stock rom. I get more than 30 hours on one charge, internet, video, email normal use. Going through a whole day is absolutely no problem.
There must be a crappy app you`ve installed that is draining your battery. You will have to find out which one it is.
Are you playing games? They will drain your battery more quickly. Also, see if any apps are running in the background. After that, un-tick the location services in the settings menu. Change to a static wallpaper. Don't set very low sync times and turn your wifi off when you're not using it.
If you're on stock, you should have around 4 hours of screen time on.
I just want to confirm whether not charging the battery first has any effect on the battery life.

Bcos there's a good chance the battery may have fully discharged between the time it's packaged and when it gets to the end user, which in some cases may take months or even over a year.

I will put this in 3 situations:
>>> Wifi or 3g and screen on continuously and web browsing = 9h
>>> Intermitent use with internet on all the time but sleeping when screen off = 24h stand by + 6h screen on
>>> Just on stand by with screen off: 1)With internet on 2% drain \ hour 2)With all internet off = 0,5% drain \ hour ...
There is many variance acording to screen brightness and economy mode on and off, but everybody can get a good fast system and average screen bright with the above result !!!

hey folks! im thinking of getting this phone, I had xperia S and went to an s3 because of horrible battery life on XS so . . Since this phone seems nice and has quite a big battery (2370mah and a smaller screen compared with my s3 2100 and big amoled screen) do you think it will get me satisfied ? I personally love its design (only missing a decent front camera) so . . is it worth the deal? Thanks in advance

There's an app that keep running in the background, waking up the CPU or data, install wakelock detector to find it.
As for me, normally from 100% to 1% I get 6.5 hours on screen time non stop on 3G.
I heard smaller battery in S3, optimus G goes for more.

[Help] Battery problem

My battery is draining too fast after upgrading to android 4.3. Even only on 2g there is 1% decrease in battery almost after every 3 minutes. But with screen off it will remain almost at 99% after even 12 hours or more. But when I start using the phone for something like even navigating through the settings the battery drops 1% every 3 minutes or even less. My handset is about a month old. I am from India and running the ML4 android 4.3 recently released by Samsung. There is no wakelock when the screen is asleep. The phone screen consumes between 60 to 90% of the battery or more. I factory reset it thrice since the update but with no effect. I am running the 4.3 update for about 3 weeks now. I also installed Greenify, battery doctor, juice defender etc to save battery but there is no improvement. I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

This is funny! You mean to say that the upgrade to android 4.3 has damaged my battery? The battery is not even 1 month old as I mentioned in the first post. The battery is very good on android 4.1.2...... As I mentioned in the first post, there is no battery drain when the screen is off. Even after 24 hours the battery is 99% from 100% with screen off. Why should I checked for wakelocks when the battery is fine on screen off? I did checked it to be sure but no wakelocks. The battery problem is when I use the phone, the battery is draining abnormally when the phone is used. Anyway thanks for your reply.

Using BetterBatteryStats will nevertheless help you to find out which process is consuming your battery…
Yes, 4.3 upgrade downgraded my battery life about 20% when I am using my phone. On idle it is better about 10-20% also compared with 4.1.2. It is useless to do factory resets or other nonsense. Just it is as is.

I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

Okey So Firstly I rule Out Few Assumptions Made By Some Members(No Offense):
1) As thadoukuki said battery Drains only while using the phone and not wen its idle that means its not a wakelock for sure.
2)Secondly as the handset n battery ofcourse, are just a month old i dont even assume it to be damaged(Trust Sammy)
3)Thirdly 1% / 3Mins is quite normal on extensive Usage but as you say its just while navigating around settings etc. den i assume its a bit high.
4) Now betterbatterystats is good to identify what consumes your battery but ive never been a fan of that actually.
SO according to me try to do some trial n error work .
Instead of Freezing apps through TB u can use Greenify Donate to greenify system apps and user apps as well. It Does same job as TB freeze but without that extra hassle.
Secondly Choose a kernel that you think is battery friendly for you like the one which gives you peace of mind(Oh Yeah Battery's Draining Slow!!)
for me i'd go for Boeffla or Googymax
Choose a battery friendly Governer for ur CPU(For me Boeffla kernel with Archi_ultra_power_save governer gives great results)
Check if CPU Touch boost is Enabled in Kernel Settings coz Touch Boost gave me good performance and responsiveness but even i had observed that battery used to drain faster with it.
Battery friendly Rom with few Tweaks by xda members is always better for me over Stock( ArchiDroid Is the Rom ive ever Used){Personal Opinion}
Ppl Say undervolting helps .....hmm maybe ive never Done it but as you are very cautious about battery you may try it (on your own Risk)
Lets see if that Helps
And Lastly i never Observed much Change in Battery drain pattern wen Coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 so thats not really true.
