Help Understanding BetterBatteryStat Results

[batz281]

Good day all,

I am hoping to receive some assistance in understanding the results of the BetterBatteryStat app. I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 (i535) with a stock ROM (up until yesterday, when I loaded Bean's Custom Stock which actually seemed to burn my battery quicker) and I run a very "light" phone -

• I keep wifi, BlueTooth and 4g off,
• disabled Google sync,
• run at minimum brightness,
• Powersaving is enabled,
• disabled bloatware services like AllSharePlay, etc,
• haptic is set very minimum (heart-beat for phone calls, single beat for texts)

My phone is generally awake for 2-3 times longer than the screentime, and burns 2.5-4% battery per hour. For example, right now it's at 13:11:05 on battery (hh:mm:ss), with 01:28:43 awake and only 37m:26s screentime (links to screenshots below).



Why the heck was it awake for an hour longer than the screen was on?


So I check Kernel and Partial wake locks. Top 2 Kernels are "smdcntl0" (33m:53s) and "mmc2_detect" (16m:06s), though PowerManagerService usually floats around second or third in the list; top 2 Partials are "AlarmManager" (39m:40s, Count:4853) and "AlarmReceiver" (3m:13s, Count:68). However, when I go to Alarms, I'm "lucky" if the counts all total 200, let alone the 4853 from the Partial. Or do these counts not match up 100%?


Based on the information above and the screenshots, can any one offer an assessment, things to try, etc?

Could this be because it's visually difficult to read the large amount of information in Better Battery?

I prefer GSam Battery Monitor.

agree with Dieben get GSam Battery Monitor it gives u much easier information to understand.

Better Battery presents a lot of information but the information is so jumbled up that it's difficult to make any sense of the information.

GSam presents less information but presents it clearly.

For example, here is a clear and simple 'View Time Held Awake" screen from GSam:
(In this list "AppUsage" is the *name of an app* that I use to continuously monitor how much time each app runs during a day, week, or month)
