Default [Q] need help with terrible battery life

I am having some terrible battery life problems - will upload the screenshot of battery monitor widget history when i get the photo

I am getting -41mA to -29mA overnight when I'm asleep. Is the phone awake or something? This is really strange, unless my battery is broken?

1. Was on VR2.4.2 but bad battery life
2. Re-ODIN'd to KH3 firmware
3. cleared cache/data/dalvik
4. Re-installed VR2.4.2 via SD card in CWM
5. Now on KH3 mode, VR 2.4.2 and ninpho 2.0.4

Can someone help me out please ?

I just installed Juice Defender and see how it goes

mate this wont show us the main problem.

if u are rooted - u may try following. just advice - cook your ROM through kitchen KH3 and pick only apps that u gonna need and try it. KH3 + speedmod kernel is working just amazing. no drain - no issue.

for battery usage i will recomend u to use betterbatterystats application that is published here on XDA - that app is able to track wakelogs and much more - that will give you more less the idea what can produce the high battery drain.

second disable fast dormacy -*#9900#
uncheck samsung apps notification
and there are much mroe options for you but this are the ones i could remeber right now.

What logs would you need?

I've read in the Litening forum, some guy said when the phone is idle/sleep , it should do about loss of 2-10mA

I used to get 3% loss overnight, not sure what changed. I dont have many apps/mods either

disable fast dormacy and use the juice defender. if u wont be satifsfied change ROM and compare yourself mate.

find the betterbatterystats app and install it - if u can read then u can find the problem yourself - believe me

If you're using Viber, I recommend you to freeze it with Titanium Backup. I was out of juice after maximum 6 hours of moderate usage. After freezing Viber I get over 50% battery left with 15-16 hours of moderate usage.
