70mb of traffic for removed apps process? Why do we even need that? Even if we need it some way why is it done ALL THE WAY in background? Dosent that keep the device awake? I got around 100kb/s speed and with a sleeping(screen off) device the speed is even lower. So the traffic could keep the device awake for a long time and kill the battery.
If not, then what on earth is that process and why it eat 70 of my mbs in 2 days?

I have the same information displayed on my handset as seen from OP's screenshots. I'm also interested in knowing what these "removed apps" could be.

The battery drain bug was due to "auto rotation" feature. please check the forums for more details. turn it off to see better battery performance.
lot of Custom ROMs have been released since then which have drastically improved the performance. Apex ROM with Matr1x kernel is what i am using and it doesnot have better drain issues or the "Removed Apps" process that you mentioned in data usage monitoring tool.

I have the same issue, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why or what the Removed Apps is doing, can someone please give me a straight explanation?

i think it's the combined data used by apps that used to be installed on your phone...before you removed them.
does that make sense? like if you installed google music and streamed 300MB of music then deleted the app. the app has been removed but the data it used will still be on that billing cycle.
it just doesn't bother to separate it into background and foreground or maybe it can't. data is data once the app is gone.

What is taking up all my RAM? (Phone very slow after unlock)

I feel like my phone has been running a lot slower than it used to. And on checking the running services I find that the numbers don't add up.
The total memory of running services doesn't match what's displayed on the bottom. Anyone know why that is or if this is on fact the reason things are so slow?

It doesn't show the amount of ram that the gpu is taking (think it's taking ram down to 35x mb) and android's share (reducing by ~150-200mb to 150-200 left).
So you're free to allocate approx 150-200mb for your custom apps. Your apps using approx 105ish, that's 45-99mb left, plus some background system apps. Seems you're ok overall, but as long as there's ram left the phone shouldn't slow down (even then the slow down isn't for long as Android will start cleaning ram automatically).
Thanks for your reply.
So, if it's probably not a RAM issue. What could be causing my phone to slow down? It's so bad, it's nearly unusable. Even locking/unlocking see some lag. It's weird because it runs blazingly quick for some time and then after I've left the phone alone for awhile. It's really slow when I unlock. Maybe the phone is having issues coming out of sleep? Any way to check/remedy this?
Sometimes when I flash a new kernel my frequancies go down without any reason, so I have to go back to setcpu and adjust them.

same problem
I'm experiencing the same issue. My ram usually reads really low on seeCPU. I always thought that my phone was slow because of that...
It appears not a lot of people are having this problem, so if anyone can provide some insight, that would be incredible!

Battery Usage Stats missing items

I'm finding that the Battery Usage Stats are always missing apps from the list as posted below. Can anyone else confirm what they see on 2.3.4 ROMS and state whether it's OTA/Stock or custom. Thanks.

I think apps won't show because in comparison to the screen, WiFi and Android OS they use almost no power. Apps eventually do show when they are used more intensively.
However if you want to monitor which apps use most power, I suggest you use BetterBatteryStats (xda-topic). This will let you track apps who wake your phone and which apps draw most power. It's a very useful app.

What ROM are you running?
I've just had beyondpod playing with presto playback speed plugin for the last 90 minutes with screen mostly off and see the attached. There's definitely something amiss as I've seen them listed before and look how much they've drained my battery since the last screen grab posted above.

help lowering phone wakes?

so after getting a custom rom and kernel and making some other changes, im getting pretty good battery life from my phone, well in comparison to what it used to be, but ithink it can still be better. especially considering how often apps keep waking my phone up. using GSAM battery stats, i am seeing the number of times apps woke up my phone today...
so many apps in the double digits!!
google services is the biggest offender, and when i click on it, it says that Google Contacts Sync is what causes it..should i uncheck contacts from the sync options in the settings menu? if i do that, it will also not save any changes i make to numbers from my phone though right?
and then next is go sms pro..which i have no idea keeps waking up, i only got 1 text today...
it seems ironic that juicedefender is in the top 3 since its supposed to be saving me battery..is it actually useful and am i just overthinking it?
then some of the other ones lik tv show favs and tweetdeck, i dont know what they are doing when they wake either. especially since in the tweetdeck settings i have it set to only update when i manually refresh...
any ideas or solutions to bring those numbers down?
Any ideas?

[Q] Help with new battery drain issue

Hi there,
Over the past week or so I have noticed that my battery is going down a LOT faster than usual...
The culprit is "gpsd" that is using upwards of 30% of my battery every charge...
I have looked through everything that uses the gps and it's all either off or not using it.
How do I find out who / what is keeping gpsd going and make it play nice, or die?

Hopes help.

Definition - gpsd*is a daemon that receives data from a GPS receiver, and provides the data back to multiple applications such as Kismet or GPS navigation software. It thus provides a unified interface to receivers of different types, and allows concurrent access by multiple applications.
Workarounds - Look for every GPS associated application on your device. Make sure to switch off GPS.
Go to Settings, then to Application Manager or Apps. And find the GPS associated apps, open them and force stop them. Sometimes they auto run and can cause battery drains.
Tell me how this goes for you.

All apps that need location services disabled / uninstalled and it's still there...
Okay...
Just wiped and re-flashed rom... no apps installed aside from BetterBatteryStats and GPSD is still there...
Maybe time to find something other than Omega

Wifi/Android System/ Android OS problems.

Hi, I need help on this. It has been days since my battery has gone haywire and I don't know what happened. I just saw that my WIFI isn't turning off even though i toggled itoff in settings/quick settings. I thought maybe a simple reboot may fix it but no. I came from CO12 to Exodus to Bliss but all have the same problems. Wifi isn't turning off! All my settings are stock. Kernels are stock also. I'm getting an average battery life of 3 1/2 hrs SOT which is awful for my usage. Also AndroidSystem and OS is killing my battery but I disabled Google PlayServices which should help. My only concern is the Wifi not turning off. Pls help thanks

Hi.
I use this app wich does only cut on and off the network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en
(you can also apply a screen filter to help stop battery drain)
But I doubt its your only problem... I tested with and without the app, and the difference is almost not visible. Also, my wifi (when app off) is in third place on battery usage, and I have at least a good 5-6 SOT..

Some people say that it is a common bug in Android 5.0. Can anyone confirm?

The known bug with wifi is not battery drain but the difficulty to connect, to link the network.
