Hi folks
I am running Embryo 6.11 on my T989. I had flashed the UVMC6 radio from VoiD_Dweller's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
I have observed that UVMC6 is giving me really poor battery life, as compared to UCLL3.
Really poor = From 100% to 75% overnight (6 hours), with no apps running, screen usage 2 minutes max (had to set my morning alarm)
On UCLL3 it used to be a 3-4% drop during a similar period
Has anyone else seen such a drastic difference in battery life between the two radios?
Any help would be appreciated.
IDK if it makes any difference: I'm using the phone in India.
A rogue app is draining your battery or maybe RILJ bug is keeping your phone lose that much battery.
Download gsam and see what's wrong.

Thanks for the reply!
I'll use GSam on UVMC6 later in the day and see what it says.
But I' flashed UCLL3 in the morning and my battery consumption is normal now.

I am having piss poor battery life. I went to sleep with 93% battery life, and when I woke up about 8 hours later it was all the way down to 43%. Something isn't right. Any tweaks I can make. My friend rooted my phone, and I am quite the newbie with this stuff, so please try and be as specific as you can. Appreciate it.
It isn't the ROM. You either have a rogue app running or a bad battery. Most of the time its a rogue app. To verify you can check your battery use and see what's taking the most, or wipe the ROM clean. Not install anything, and see how it fares.

Well, I am pretty sure it isn't a bad battery because on stock GB my battery life was fantastic. Something is definitely wrong.
Under battery use I see:
Wi-Fi 29%
Display 22%
Cell standby 22%
Phone idle 20%
Android OS 5%
Android System 2%
Anyone?
I was having battery issues on virtuous as well even with the recommended radio and a completely bone stock install, with the cpu set to max at 1ghz. I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16251182&postcount=154 last night and battery seems much much better today.
I have a desire z and I am using a recent nightly and loving it but I have one concern my battery usage stats are like these:
After Charging and letting it go standby at night:
When I woke up after 7 hours battery was %89.
Usage was: Cell standby : %46
Phone Idle : %41
Display: %7
Wi-Fi : %5
Now you may tell me it is normal to have only cell standby if I let it go standby but even if I use a lot of gps and google maps for around an hour maybe it still show a lot of cell standby. And when I am using the phone I feel like it drains the battery a lot.
Are these stats normal. I remeber on my stock rom My display was always eating the battery like %40 %50 ish now display never shows above %10 even if I use the phone a lot!
Is this because of radio? Should I try different radios? I had radio that came with downgrade of my Desire Z and than I flashed the neww Bell radio.
Please help cause I am not sure if this is normal.
Noone ? any idea?
I'm on CM7 #186 since Sunday and my battery's live is slightly higher than with stock Gingerbread.
I recommend that you install "Battery Monitor Widget". It uses a lot of RAM, but it has some pretty good statistics what's using the battery.
About the display: I think in stock the battery display stats are wrong. Mine had always 70%. On CM7 it's 7% right now after two working days and moderate news in the evening. Phone idle is 43% right now.
Probably the display usage is wrong on stock rom but i am not really sure. I will try that app you recommend thx.
So my stats arent that weird.

From what I've read on the forums, update your kernel and ROM, and/or wipe your battery stats. I believe Clockworkmod should let you clear your battery stats. Boot into recovery with CWM and look for it.

Wiping battery stats does nothing..absolutely nothing. As system is deleting stats every time you unplug your phone @ 90-100% of battery. Wiping it just makes your battery information/calculations go berserk.
You could try can install with fresh rom. I suggest trying slimbean, full stock or with Franco's kernel. Also consider changing your radio/ril if you're in area with bad reception, 'cos it'll drain your battery also.
I'm doing easily 14-20h uptime with 3-4,5h screen on time with slimbean+franco. Idle drain is about 1%/2-3h (no sync, data nor wifi).

This. Every time someone says to clear battery stats, FSM eats a cute and fluffy penguin chick. Why this grossly erroneous advice still continues to be posted almost a year after it was clearly and concisely debunked is baffling.

Get a cheap extended battery and external battery charger, change Rom or kernel, ???? Profit!

Try trinity kernel, I get better battery life with it compared to Franco

From DX power booster, which shows hardware power consumption, the radio power consumption is basically negligible... 95% of battery was taken by CPU and screen

If you're referring to a some kind of an app which shows you battery drain, be noted that those figures are fully hypothetical since there isn't a way to measure power consumption inside the phone. Figures are made by algorithm with some data from spec sheets, Android battery stats, etc. It can give you some hints but can't be blindly trusted.
And I have had tested several radios with my ex-SGS and saw that wrong radio had huge impact to idle drain, especially in the low signal strength areas. If course CPU and screen are still the main drainers, but imho radio can't be left without notice..

Flashed to leaked Jelly Bean OTA and trinity kernel still draining like buckets. Got a a battery on order so hopefully that fixes it. Its not a CPU issue as its in deep sleep 80% of the time. Even in Airplane mode its draining at 5-10% an hour
Also 20mins drained 4% using stock 4.0.4 no apps installed. Completely idle
Reflashed to 4.0.4 but unchecked keep my phone backed up to Google and Restore from google and now only draining at about 2% an hour in standby. Now Im running eclipse with leanKernal and getting 1% an hour drain

So it was that backup service what kept your phone awake/running at higher CPU speeds. For a next time, go and grab BetterBatteryStats from chamonix's XDA thread. That one would have said that *backup* is keeping your phone awake (I have seen that in my phone also). Let's hope that you're phone now behaves nicely

I did install better battery stats but nothing was keeping the phone from going to deep sleep. It was in deep sleep roughly 80-90% of the time

Ah okay, then it's little weird since backup service has always appeared in wakelocks and that's how it has been easily founded as a culprit for drain. But anyway, your problem is solved and therefore case is kind of closed

So I bought my ATT GS3 out in Los Angeles this summer and then I returned to New Jersey to find that I have horrible battery life. It was not right away so this could be completely unrelated. As of right now my phone is at 75% and I let it drain while i was sleeping for 10.5 hours. I have tried several different roms which are usually good the first two days and then after that the battery life is bad again. I thought it may be some application I have installed so I removed a few of the ones I remembered downloading since I got back to NJ. I also updated to the latest radio ending in H9 because I was two behind when I checked. I have attached some battery information below. Any help anyone could provide would be great. I have tried Juice Defender which did save some battery life but it also caused a problem where I couldn't use the internet for 10 seconds after I wake the phone.
U need a Rom with cell standby fix
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I thought the cell standby problem only effected the international GS3? If the cell standby fix was the problem then I shouldn't actually be draining that low right? Something must be draining the battery then. Google maps is probably draining the battery but how do I stop that from happening?
No its not just international and it is cell standby using almost 10% battery

try Triune ii or Black jelly 0.7 i tried them both on my s3 these both hav good battery backup..
Ariel 2.10 fixes everything!
I just installed the standby fix and im going to test that and see if it helps. If that doesn't work I'll try the other roms everyone has suggested. Will take a little while to make sure whats good and whats not though. Thanks for the advice.

Just another observation. Battery tends to drain faster if you leave it in your pocket. If you flash a rom, you might have to calibrate the battery stats. I only lose 1% every 2 hours overnight if I leave it on a cold surface.

So I have tried a few different roms and I'm still not happy with the battery life. I calibrate the battery after every rom installed and I usually keep that rom for atleast 2 days to test it. Right now I'm on AOKP. If the phone is on standby whats the general %/hr? When I go to sleep my phone drops from 92%-75% for about 10-11 hours (on desk at temp 60F). By Apocalypse487's response I should only see a drop of 5-6 % over night when I see 17%. Am I supposed to me losing this much battery life over night? To me I feel like I barely use my phone. Today wasn't too bad with 1 hr with screen on and about 1 hr in calls. I made it about 1 day 1 hour 36min on battery. My phone was sleeping for about 23.5 hours. Is this the typical battery life or is something wrong with mine? Tonight I'm going to try juicedefender and see if that helps.

I'm using ParanoidAndroid based off of CM10. Version 2.16 of PA gave me the best battery life. Try that. Certain Roms have better battery management, but that probably depends on the kernel. PA uses stock.

I'll give ParanoidAndroid a try and see what that does. So Juicedefender ended up making it so I only lost 1% over 9 hours. Thats pretty good. Way better than I wanted. So what could be draining the power over night. Is it because my data is on all the time but shut off when using Juicedefender?
I use Trinue 2, and I use an app called Go Power Master.
In GPM you can setup options that will turn off mobile data/gps/wifi when the screen is turned off, will automatically turn them back on when the screen is back on.
Those things little things I find can make a big difference for the battery to last throughout the day.

It's as Sianspheric says, common things like gps, data, and wifi uses power. I just started using Juicedefender since my friend told me it helps. Also download battery calibration. It's a root only app. Don't let your device discharge completely. It's bad for Lithium Ion batteries. That will clear out any bad data from Samsung.

Hi I currently have telus s3 running cyanogen mod 10.2.
Recently it seems that the battery seems to drain a percent per minute even if its on and doing nothing.
The battery health is good and I always have the screen brightness to auto.
Even if I under clock it to 384 the battery gets really hot fast and just drains.
I dont know what is causing this drain!
If this problem is non fixable can someone please suggest a extended battery that isn't too bulky but has a long life?
Thanks.

Try a different rom maybe?
Check what's using up your battery using the better battery stats app.
Try the greenify app.
