I believe this all started happening since I switched to 4.2.2. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed it, but it seems as though while using the phone, it heats up faster than normal and results in excessive battery drain. Something else I noticed, if its plugged in, and temperature is > 85F, it will not charge, it will drain. I confirmed this last week while driving cross country. The only way I was able to make it charge was by squeezing the phone in the air vent and letting it cool below 80F.
I am ROM'd w/ JBX (formally Jelly Belly). It's fairly stock. I chose it because I wanted the least amount of bugs and the most stable ROM. I used to get fantastic battery life with this ROM and kernel combo (Lean Kernel), but it just isn't holding up to what it used to
Looking at GSAM, it shows Facebook as my top battery drainer (14.8%; apps = 72.4% consumption), yet, even w/ that app frozen via tibu, it still drains at the same rate, so I don't think that's the culprit. Next up is the Calendar @ 14% (apps = 72.4%).
Looking at wakelock detector, it shows Calendar as the greatest wakelock usage: 18m 5s, then Google Services @ 14m, Maps (7m), FB (5.5m).
As far as calendar apps, I have neat calendar and dash clock installed. Might disable one of those for a day to see if it makes a difference. Either way, the phone is heating up faster and draining faster than normal. The phone is running more sluggish than normal. Things don't seem right at all.
