I have the same issue. Full re-charge last night. It was in sleep mode for 4 hours and it was at 93%. Checked battery usage, and Google Maps was at 27% - Display 30%.
Seems odd to me since i never opened up GMaps.
Maps has been OK for me. But drained 40% in 5 hours with no use

you guys all stock rom? or oc?
Mine was even better. the first night after the 3.1 upgrade it stayed at 100% for couple of hours...
in fact now even with oc tiamat 1.4.2 kernel, it is 1% / hour if very light use, 10%-15%/hour if watching videos.
Stock here. auto-screen brightness. no task killers. Only change post 3.1, was buying Bang Bang Racing.
Stock haven't changed anything

Just the update

Sorry, mine was wifi xoom. How about yours? 3G model?
after the initial 3.1 upgrade i did feel like my battery was dying fast but I did not have to charge the Xoom From Thursday Night until Sunday Night and I used it all weekend.
With Tiamat installed and SetCPU lowering CPU usage while screen is off, I dont think I'll ever need to charge my xoom again
3g model

Sorry my experience may not speak for 3G users.
My 3G Xoom depletes itself at about 3 times the speed of my ipad...playing angry birds or simply reading rss news feeds. From 100% to 29% in a few hours.
Do you guys have any background updates running? I have the wifi xoom and mine last 2 days with medium usage with background updates on.... just curious...
Sent from my HTC Evo
Nope no updates. So weird because battery lasted forever before the update

Weird... just checked mine, android is at 18%, maps at 27% screen 28%, idle 15%

My battery drain is about the same
Ok just checked mine. Android system . 49. Screen 29. Everything below 5% what the heck is going on

I had the same problem with the battery running down very quickly. Did a factory reset, reinstalled my apps and everything's back to normal. Good battery life again.

My battery is even better after the update.
im feeling the fast battery drain too. Wifi only but I can deal with it till I learn how to root it....
Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

Nah.. its sending a message every 4-5 minutes average..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.

Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

It depends what you are doing.
Download better battery stats (from xda) or wake lock detector from the play store to see of you have an app that is draining the battery

If the phone is just idle than no, I lose around 4% over 8 hrs when the phone is idle if that's any help. I also try to clear out the active apps via clear memory as this seems to be the only true way to stop a active app.

that's not normal unless you have your screen on for the majority of that time. I usually get 16 hours of battery life with 3.5 - 4 hours of screen time each day. I have wifi, bluetooth, and all gestures on with screen brightness at max. This suits my needs.
2- 3 % a hour on sleep.about 10% which screen on.
2-3% over 8 hours idle
Any phone with a 5 inch screen using LTE ain't gonna last.. I don't care what you try doing to it. Go on ebay and pick up a few extra batteries and chargers. It's was easier and you don't have to worry about battery drain as much

I faced the same , but after i rooted and flashed franco's kernel, im getting around 22hr on normal usage ,10-11 hr on heavy usage not to mention almost 2 days when phone is idle.
Keep in mind that after an update or a ROM flash or what ever changes are made.. Battery life can suffer for a good week or so. This GS like media scanner and other services will be running more in the background.

Okay guys, today just formatted my phone. Its just as good as before. No deep sleep issue, battery life is back to normal. I shall post it after 3-4 discharge cycle.
Thanks!

So I'm trying to find out if I'm the only one getting terrible life out of my battery. I used to get 16 hours + and still have 10% left. Now, it drops about 15% an hour. I use less than 25% brightness.

Your going to need to be a bit more specific.
I averaged 4.5-5 hours screen time when I first got my phone running MDL firmware. That is running everything as is right out the box with fairly heavy data usage.
That screen shot doesn't tell you squat.
I'm new to Android and I'm starting to hate my s4. I only get 2-3hrs screen time with this phone. Battery life is very terrible. I hate the fact that you to greenify stuffs just to maximize battery life. I'm using deadly venom 8.2 on mf3. Lux dash as auto brightness (I hate the fact that you have to lower the brightness settings to get better battery life?)
I'm usually on wifi, on my better battery stats, I go 3-4.5% per hour when I'm not using it which can last the whole day but once I use it, it just eats up the batter from 15%-25%max per hour usage. Very disappointing.

Not to be rude but go back to the iPhone if you don't like android simple as that people on craigslist will trade an iPhone 5/5c for your gs4. You've already made several threads and comments about this right now. I get great battery life plus iOS 7 is way too colorful.

Seems normal. Only dropped 5% in 1 hour 15 minutes in your screenshot instead of 15% you said in your first post. You could try turning off those google services you dont use.
