http://androidforums.com – I got my VM GS2 4G the first weekend it came out. I liked the advertised battery life, but quickly realized that my phone suffered from heavy battery drain as many of them do. I will post my observations and notes for others to compare and learn from: -First 3 or 4 days, couldn't go a full day of my normal use (which is not heavy) without plugging in. -Using the GSam battery monitor app, I noticed that the Andorid OS and the kernal were accountable for more than 60% of total battery useage. -Tried the factory reset and the 'leave the battery out for 5 minutes' tricks. Neither had (General)

Hello,

I recently purchased a galaxy s3 lte with the extended 3000mah battery. I have found the battery drain to be unusually high. it is draining at around 3% an hour. I am on the sentinel ROM. I changed to the normal slim battery and it also seemed to be draining at a similar rate.

I had a major battery drain so I followed the advice given on another thread and did a factory reset as they said the OTA update may have been the issue. Now my battery drain is fixed but am I now stuck with having android 4.1.1 or can I try updating it again to 4.1.2. A lot of features I liked are no longer available in this version.

Support Wakelock questions 35 weeks 1 hour ago

Hi, I have a few questions regarding various wakelocks that I hope somebody will be able to advise on. Whether they are normal or not Im not sure.

I'm in the UK, my phone is a standard GS3, ie not routed or anything.

Recently, I switched from Oat's Light n' Tasty to CM9 nightlies (currently on 20121202) which I flashed with CWM. I have noticed that the battery drains significantly faster with CM9 when the device is asleep. Looking at better battery stats I found that ath6kl_wow seems to be the culprit, which was reinforced with GSam which reported that 89% of the battery was consumed by wifi.

[Q] Battery problem 19 weeks 21 hours ago

I've been using several custom roms on my Defy green lense and i noticed an issue with the battery life.

It happens that every time i fully charge the phone, when it goes to 70% battery life it instantly drop to 50%, battery drain, even with STOCK Froyo.

But if i charge it to 69%, not fully 100% or over 70%, it goes normal...

Is the battery bricked ?

After updating my LG Thrive to 4.04 from 2.35 I have seen horrible battery life.

Although I had already done a factory reset I decided to try removing the battery to see if that would help.

Within the last week I have been experiencing major battery drain from 'sdcard' for no reason. Here is a screenshot of my phone last night which shows 'sdcard' as the largest battery drain '29%' over a total off charger time of nearly 14 hours. The 'sdcard' details claim that the uptime for the 'sdcard' is only a mere 45 minutes.
