which rom should I go with? my first try...
also I have rooted ics stock rom with stock recovery and kernel.. how to proceed?

Read the threads to find out which causes your drain.
Im on LPA with Gl-notecore 1.3 extreme kernel, no issues with battery drain.

I use the latest goku kernel. With this kernel the wakelock problem is resolved. You can use an app like cpu spy to see if your device goes into deep sleep state. Since you mentioned such an intense battery drain I suspect your device not going into deep sleep.

Asylum rom with the unnamed kernel kick ass! I highly recommend it. So smooth and battery life is amazing

Massive battery issues

Hello folks.
I'm currently on Aokp 4.2.2 unofficial with Francos r90 Kernel, bootloader and Radio are both updated. I'm suffering from massive battery draining. I guess something isnt letting my CPU sleep properly, as i always get messages like "100% awake while screen off" from battery stats plus. I'm just getting up to 2 hours screen on time, and battery is falling by about ~7% / hour With normal usage (whatsapp, News, xda) and like 15 Minuten screen on time in that hour. Also, see the attached Images. I sometimes have wakelocks by audioOut_2 and as you can See, maps is using more battery than the Display itself.
On an additional Note, GPS is always off, im using Taster to locate, but with cell near only.
Would be very Kind to help me out of this issues, thank you a bunch!

Turn off Location Services for a little bit to see if that helps.

You should try a program like autostarts, and don't allow things to run unless explicitly started by yourself. This way it'll help identify if there is an misbehaving program.
I saw you were using franco r90 which could be an issue. Try going back to the last stable

I think you will like this application.

This simple application will make your annoying applications to go to sleep. Therefore your phone can finally go to sleep like it should when it's not in use. I see that Google maps seems to be the culprit in your battery drain. You can use titanium backup and delete it and install it back again from the play store. After that you can use the application that I've given you and force it to go tot sleep.
Here's the forum for the application:

Thanks for your reply. Yeah im already thinking about flashing matr1x or trinity Kernels. How much screen on time Do you get with matr1x?
I reinstalled maps, greenified maps and facebook. Updated to Franco 92. Already getting better results with greenified maps, but i get following wakelocks:
"pm8921_eoc", "msm_otg" and AudioOut_2 and still notifications from bbs: 100% awake.
Apps running are: astrid, avast, Francos updater, Rom toolbox, Tasker

Coming from the iphone 4, good battery life is the most important thing i miss. I need a rock solid reliable phone or else would have started to mess around a read about Kernels to see how they may help with better battery life. My iPhone would last me 3-4 days of general use. To me General use is very light use..! With nexus it lasts max 1-2 days but more importantly i need to be concious what the battery level is. With th eiphone i never really bothered as i knoew i would get at least 2 days if not more.

Still got audioOut_2 wakelock. Except that onr, everything is fine After Kernel update, greenifying and disabling Autostarts

Battery Save app

For you What is best app for Battery saving? Sorry for my English
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Power saving mode of n2 with greenify. If you want best battery be on 4.1.2 rom with perseus kernel. Unmatched combo

greenify
Im using greenify too.. it works with 4.4.2 too..

It's worth trying xposed receiver stop and boot manager with greenify as well
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

Greenify is great
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

my theory is to don't use power saving apps, I use the built -in power saver, automatic screen brightness, when I exit an app or game I remove it from the recent list, if im in a place with no signal I turn airplane mode on. If I dont need internet I turn off the wifi/data.

power saving mode is great always.. give a try to DU battery saver if u are not rooted. It works pretty well for. Add the cleaner widgte to your screen which helps clearing the RAM with a tap..

Greenify Donation. Its worth it. I don't care what ROM it is battery life is great as long as I wipe internal SD before flash

Hey,
are there any proofs that Greenify increases battery life? Any benchamarks? Comparisions?
Or just illusion?
Like apps to increasing performance, they are ruining it. (i will reccomend here LagFix app

Why don't you try using it and see for yourself. There's nothing better than doing it for yourself rather than relying on somebody else, no?
Benchmark you are referring to is some what, stupid. I am pertaining to a benchmark which elevates the standard of battery saving or performance enhancing.

It's not stupid, there's a way to do that.
Greenify should share theirs results to public, if they saying it will increase your battery then prove it! Show me the results. Im that kind of person.
Take care

Undervolting is still controversial. I used to do the same but also tried stock settings and have even or better battery life.

greenify
greenify is the best battery saving app plus you need to remove unwanted apps cz they may be eating battery..mobile data eats battery no one can help you there it's always better to use wifi when it's available..

First of all I would recommend to change the kernel. If you're on version 4.3 or lower Pegasus Kernel provides the best ratio between performance and battery drain.
It's much better than using a task killer.
I tried both, but any task killer isn't quite comfortable, because it closes tasks you may need. And also white listing isn't always an option. Nevertheless you'll have performance lags as soon as the cache is cleaned. Any app has to reload its processes anew.

Bad battery life on CM11

Hi,
I am running the latest CM11 nightly 20141204. I just bought a new original samsung battery but still getting pathetic battery life. I am getting just half day backup with data on. Is this problem specifically with CM11 or there could be any other issue?

Try ArchiKernel, it does wonders with the battery life.

Questions go in the q&a section. Report your own post to get it moved.
Find the betterbatterystats thread and follow the OP.

cyanogen is known for the ''battery drain'' problem, i suggest you to flash boeffla kernel, with the app ''boeffla config v2" (find it on web, not in play store) and play with governors and eventually undervolts to save some battery

Android system draining battery.

Hello, today I noticed that my battery was worse than usual, so I checked what was draining it and android system was second after screen. It says stay awake 1h 15 min from total 1h 30min since full charge. It's already 80% with less than 1h sot, normally it is better. What can I do ?

Notice, I went to running processes, and software update was always running, even after stopping it it got open again. Also a strange one I never seen before, com.sec.android.app.keyguard , is always running.

Anyone? -_-

Yes full stock.

I has the exact same issue with my Sprint S3 (D2SPR) last year. The only thing that I could do to fix it was to flash the stock firmware with Odin. Nothing I did helped the battery drain. Are you familiar with Odin and flashing Samsung devices?

At the moment I rooted to use BetterBatteryStats and it shows that phone is not going to deep sleep.

Well, let's install a wakelock detector and see what shows up. Then, we can use a number of other apps to control the wakelock to prevent the high battery drain. You probably have a rogue app keeping your device awake. You can unintelligible each app one by one and monitor the battery list or install Better Battery Stats and it will tell you which apps have gone rogue and are killing your battery life. Do you have Facebook or Twitter or other heavy social media apps on your S3?

Yes I have but I always had those apps and I dont believe its their fault. Android system is first on the list, even higher that screen which I always had first. System is staying awake a lot. Now I formated and will see with wakelock detector what will show.

Cool. Lemme know how Wakelock Detector does and what it shows for wakelocks keeping your S3 awake.

BetterBatteryStats shows that phone went to deep sleep, only 1 minute is awake with screen off and this is good. Wakelock detector shows first place is google services, then 1013 ( don't know what that is ) and 3rd is android system. I have no apps installed only what it has preloaded.

If that's how Better Battery Stats shows what is happening I think a rogue app was causing your high battery drain. Install your apps one at a time and allow Better Battery Stats to run each time and see if the app causes high Android System drain. Glad it's not pulling your battery down. I think 1013 is what is shown for media scanning in some way.

Thank you for your patience and help sir, but unfortunately the problem continues. BBS still shows that phone is awake while not being used. Maybe less, but still it is. Anyway I will try a rom or something, or just leave it be. Thank you.

Give Aditya ROM a try and see how it runs. Put it thru it's paces and then let it rest for a while. Then take a look at the battery list and see what's there. It looks like a full featured ROM with plenty of new stuff. Just a recommendation. Let me know if I can help in any way.

No problem. Glad it seems to.be back to normal. When I had my Sprint S3 I had issues like this too. I would flash a custom ROM in recovery and then Odin back to a bone stock firmware and everything would be back to normal again. Good luck.

Factory reset your device. For me it helped and now Android System is only 11% and no app draining the battery. btw.. are you using black S3 Neo?
