Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

As of right now I'm just rooted with the update.zip, I did lag fix but unlag fixed shortly after. Didn't have this problem when I was stock battery actually listed a good amount time.
There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.
My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.
What can I do to fix this? I have rooted and installed lag fix from this link
I had the same issue before applying ryanza one click lash fix. My battery now lasts aboutlag 2 days. Which lag fix did you apply ?

I know this doesn't help... but my phone is stock and with normal battery management practices I'm not having any real problems... However, I'm really used to my blackberry which could be left on forever without using any battery at all.

Yea compared to my last two smartphones, the vibrant battery life is no worse. It's definitely better than the n900. But no smart phone's battery life has compared to my blackberry's I used to use.

Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.
Vibe the XDApp
I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

i been having the same problem since i have rooted my device i dont know what else to do.... i am getting a new battery next week lets see how that works out. but i don't think its the battery
I have LG GT540 with android 2.3.4 cyanogen and the battery is just getting drain to fast ( its new battery) .when i go to battery use i saids that android system use 99-100% of battery waht its not normal ( my friend has about 7-8% use) and she last for 1-1.5 hours with normal work ,in idle about 4 hours till battery drops dead. Phone is getting to hot , i tryed to put others 2.3.7 and its same again what sholud i do.
solution i tryed: wipe battery stats -didnt help
going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 -didn help
PM me to see pic cuz i am new here so i cant post outside links at the moment.
Did you wipe data when updating to 2.3.7? If not, try it (maybe also without restoring stuff from backup, if wiping+restore does not help)
yes i always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache so tahts not issue,can i format SD card is she a problem maybe?
yeah same for me i am also using a rather new battery
The battery level stays on some percentages longer than others.

Charge it to 100% wipe the battery stats let it drain out then recharge it to 100 let it drain out again and then carry on as normal i do this before and after each rom and clear the stats etc before releasing each softmod my battery lasts on average 2-3days thats texting and 4-7 phone calls maybe abit of radio and checking email 4-5 times

First of all swiftdroids battery is only supposed to last 1 day.. so use a differnet rom. Secondly check that ur CPU is on ondemand not performance .. cause sometimes u get the rom like that.

what worked for me
Hi
I wanted to thank for Zoe Rom on its thread, but i cant write on developer's threads yet (altough i clicked thanks button there).
Im glad i finally got rid of my memory hogging default rom and now i have a properly working phone again!
Also i wanted to reply there (to some people also complaining about battery endurance on GT540 on Zoe Rom) how i fixed my battery main problem.
Pic of current battery drain:
http://postimage.org/image/d8o8uusd7/
As you can see i am aproximatelly at 50% battery after 1day and 11h of not charging.
I had 2 problems:
1- Battery lasted aproximatelly 5 hours on standby (and i mean i wouldnt even touch the phone and the battery was gonne after that time)
2- During intense battery drain usage, the battery was reporting to have less energy than what it actually has.
1st problem solved by simply turning off the wireless after im done with using it. No idea how could that be taking away so much energy, but it was. Somewhere during the period i was using my default rom i got used to have wireless always on, and my battery on the later times was going away faster than normal (i also like to listen to music on the phone). At the time i didnt correlate the 2 things, and i just put in my head that it probably was the battery dieing on me. It wasnt! The wireless (i suppose because of the Sync function also being on) has been draining my battery like mad between charges.
2nd problem persists. As you can see on the pic, those 2 spikes down correspond 2 diferent aproximatelly 1 GB file wireless transfers with Wifi File Browser app. This transfers (PC->Phone) make the phone CPU have to unzip the two 1GB files to the SD, so they are very CPU and SD card read/write intensive (i can force this battery drops with other instense battery use like playing a 3D game for example). The thing is if during that temporarly drop on the battery level measurement, the level hits 5%, the phone will shutdown. But to be honest, this problem is minor comparing to the 1st one.
There is one other minor problem with my battery, wich is the reading being inconsistent (drops 10%, then gains 15% then drops 5% again etc), but is this a problem at all?
I read a post of a guy that had made extensive testing to his battery cycles, providing loads of graph of battery levels (cant find link) . I didnt read through all of it, but i remember the guy saying something in the end like "Dont be too paranoid with your battery levels, as they arent accurate. Instead use your phone normally and you will gain an idea of how long will it last with certain types of usage"
By the way, he also said for people to just charge their battery whenever they could/wanted as it has no negative impact on battery life. I also read a bit of a paper on lithium-ion batteries stating the same, so no more forcing full-discharges for me!
One last thing! Deleting the batterystats file is as simple as disconnecting your phone from the charger.Why? because that file serves solely the purpose of suplying the UI with info of the battery drain usage on the current battery cycle.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And you can confirm this if you unplug your phone while looking at yout battery stats.
I hope this helps
PS: pls notice that it could have been not the wireless itself that causes the battery drain, but some service using the wireless. Finding this would require more extensive testing.

Some people says that this does not work, but it worked for me. This procedure extended m battery life from 5h to 2 days..
Update
Hello again
I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.
Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.
I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol
With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.
I've have had similar problems with the battery on my GT540 with all cyanogenmods - 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2. There were no such problems with original 2.1 I think it is the price for the newer versions, I can live with that, I don't have to buy new phone

Have you ever dropped your phone in water at all? Maybe you have a bad battery, because those battery stats are worse than even running complete stock. Post all of your info, Hboot, radio, kernel, etc. And hopefully we can help you out with your issue.
Hboot: .92
Kernel: Tinys gingersense 11/19
Radio : 2.15.00.0808
And no never dropped it in water
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium
that sounds unreasonably bad. I'm on Joelz Prime, too, but I think only up to R40. I doubt there's anything in those last few commits to cause this, though. Try re-flashing, wiping battery stats, and give it a few cycles then reevaluate things. What apps are shown in the "Battery Use" settings menu?
Failing that, could be some hardware issue causing a short or something that's draining things... There have been cases where water or other damage can kill the battery life. Good luck.
I reflashed 3 times and still horrible battery life .
Water never got on my phone .
And in battery use nothing major is running . Except like display, os ect.

I've been using Joelz XL 4.0r42 for a few days now and I can say battery life is a little worse than 3.9, but not down to 3 hours. I change overnight, disconnect at 7:30am and charge again at 11pm. But that is with 5 or less calls, 10 texts, and emailing only.
Could email be on push? Did you try the power settings under tweak? I have tried normal and performance and see no difference. Someone said that one of the widgets was killing performance in an earlier post (in the PrimeXL thread), maybe the same widget is killing the battery too?

I dunno, then... try leaving it in Airplane mode for a little while, to see if it's something radio, etc.-related. otherwise, something's probably wrong with a hardware element somewhere along the line. I hope you're able to solve the issue.

I've read a tip to do this:
-get battery full before installing ROM
-wipe battery stats and flash new ROM
-Let it settle in, set it up a bit, then fill up the battery again
-go back to Recovery and wipe stats again, while it's full.
I'm not clear on the logic behind it - could be somebody's superstitions - but it's not a difficult step to take in the hopes that it does some good.
there are others who said they run a script at shut down to wipe them every time the phone reboots. Seems like everyone has their little tricks.
This may be a long shot, but my guess would be some kind of internal hardware issue. Maybe there's a problem with the micro USB port and it's not actually fully charging the batteries.
Shut the phone off and charge it till the lights green. And if you want any kind of battery life, sense is not the rom to be on. Especially 3.5.

There are tons of things that effect battery life and tons of things to save battery. Underclocking, undervolting, lengthning time between syncs, increasing wifi scan interval, lowering screen brightness, keeping running services to a minimum. However even with your phone set to max performance settings with all the bells and whistles on, you should still get more than 3 hours out of a charge. If multipul batteries give the same results, i would say its hardware related, or your charger is messed up and its not charging or messing up the batteries.
I wiped battery stats andseeing where that leads me
Right now when I wiped it and I played modern combat 2 for an hour and my percent is 61
So ill say imma get 2 hours out of my batt?

Okay so for the last two weeks I have put myself on this case to find out why some people have bad performance of their batteries and why some don't even on roms that some say they have bad battery drain and some don't.
I've goggled this, asked people's opinions and did loads of tests with my Galaxy s3 to find out how to get the best performance of my battery and thought I'd share my findings.
Because the battery you have in your s3 has no memory you have to train your phone to know the exact consumption you have in your battery.
To do this you have to put your battery through a cycle, I do this by charging to 100% then to 1% and then back up again.
This trains your phone into knowing how much juice your battery has.
When flashing roms it is best to flash a rom at 100% then leave on charge for a few minutes as it saves time.
It's also best to do a cycle after flashing any rom.
If you flash a rom at 50% or in between 50% to 100% this confuses your phone and it doesn't know the full voltage of your battery so you might find when looking at your battery stats it gives two different readings and your battery will drain faster than normal.
I've also read to get the best performance it's best to do a few cycles.
Hope this helps some people and if you already know this then just ignore what I've said and have a nice day
Everything I've said I have tested and done research on because I was getting really upset with my battery performance.
Now I can relax and just enjoy my s3

Good tips. Didn't realise about flashing the roms when not fully charged could confuse the battery
Yes it confuses the phone not battery, battery has no memory
Calibrating battery fixes this

Battery actually has a memory but its a cell monitoring memory .
In that respect a full discharge and recharge should be carried out after every 25 or so small charges .
Their is an awful lot of false battery information or made up rules floating about on XDA .

It's still best to cycle a battery and I read that it has no memory and here is screenshot after I flashed rom at less than 100%
Found this out yesterday, two different readings
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Like the OP i am not really sure what you are saying .
The rule has always been flash on 50% plus .
Reboot and use the phone after three or four charges battery is re calibrated .
Battery stats has no bearing on battery life or usage and resets itself after a near full charge .

You're not alone in pondering thus subject!
If I can not flash on a full charge I'll all ways do 2-3 full cycles after.
I also wipe the battery statistics before I flash a ROM.

Yes resetting stats I think is essential if stats give wrong readings, probably doing after is better and at 100%

Just my 2 cents..
Ive observed one thing.. after flashing a new rom I get dismal battery times.. at 95+% just after a charge I dial *#0228# which pulls up a battery status window.. tap quick start and I see a sudden drop in battery around 10-20%..
After this the battery performs steadily.. until I flash a new rom..

Don't even try.. battery doesn't charge while flashing. Moreover if in the process of flashing the phone runs out of battery you end up with a brick.. your phone might become a quite expensive but beautiful paper weight.
This is why it is always recommended to have atleast 50% battery before flashing... Happy flashing

I flashed when charged and let it charge back up to 100% then unplug and my battery doesn't zoom down like it used to.
Before every time I flashed a rom I'd lose about 50% battery in about 2 hours.
You do need another cycle after though

And you cannot HARD brick from flashing anything in CWM. CWM doesnt have the ability to flash something that will brick your phone.

If you guys having some battery issue or drain battery. I suggest you need to change your battery. Its not a firmware anymore. Because i also experienced this i purchased new batt then no more drain issue already.

Mine has notiably decreased. I solved a lot of it by freezing crap loads of apps and making a lot of adjustments with the autostarts app. One notable differace that I didn't expect was a few non-system files with 'test' in the name that was appearing under "Media" in the battery usage part of settings. I still have faster drain than normal and am not convinced I'll stay with this build just yet or not; it will take some days of testing. One good thing I noticed was that with a poor signal after being off of wifi for a big chunk of today, it didn't drain any slower than when I had a good signal.
The above said, though, about my battery life, I was previously also using autostarts with a heavy set of disables and had Dorminix with some severe tweaks. I actually stayed on AOKP as a result of better control over what ran actively (back button to kill maps for example) as the decisive thing over being on 4.04 prior to this release. Even on 4.0.4 I got worse battery life than the AOKP build that had the Earth and Moon aligned for my particular handset. Glad to have the Samsung camera back for the time being. Maps seems to draw WAY less than on the AOKP builds on Samsung as well, including this update.

If you guys having some battery issue or drain battery. I suggest you need to change your battery. Its not a firmware anymore. Because i also experienced this i purchased new batt then no more drain issue already.

It seems like a coincidence for a number of people to all have more battery drain, due to a dated battery, when they all go to a new ROM. Some people have issues, some people don't. It seems to me that its more a device specific thing than a mass placebo effect resulting from an update. I could be wrong though, since I'm partially making the assertion based partially off of my own handset and battery.
Battery not Charging
i have updated to JB 4.1.2, 2 days back but i am facing a strange problem. My battery is not charging more than 67% even charging for more than 5 hours. its becoming HOT and after 67% its not charging more .. it is OK on all other Stock and Custom ROMS.
Battery Life, in my case, is considerably better than under 4.0.4, and it's not even comparable to CM9 or CM10 that always died very fast on me.
for me its even better, i got 18 hours of battery and still 38 pacent left... 40 to 50 messages, 30 min of wify etc
I still got 23 hours, the lastest ICS version last for 27 hours and 17 minutes
So it's the battery is it?
"Stable" ROM to a test release and it's the worn out battery, which was fine on the previous "stable" ROM, that's causing the piss poor battery run-down?

it was working just fine in ics day before i installed XXLSJ
The second cicle of JB is better, i disable lots of junk app, activated power save and lower brightnes and there are the results.
