I've seen similar comments on this, but not necessarily the same issue I'm seeing...
As with many issue's with the ICS install, this is one of those where it "suddenly" began with no explanation as to why when previously everything was working fine. I have two Skyrockets and one started to experience this while the other did not... then suddenly, just as though an internal timer had been set, it also began to experience the same issue. I will add that the second phone is my test phone and has nothing installed other than what came with the original ROM.
SUMMARY:
Initially my battery life was awesome, but then suddenly saw a huge drop off; I confirmed it to be a problem with the phone not entering a deep sleep state; obviously I began looking to see what app may be causing this, disabling services, putting phone in airplane mode, etc.... nothing resolved it and as far as I could determine there was nothing unusual about any app running... a reboot ALWAYS resolved the problem.
ANALYSIS:
I determined that making a connection to any charging source "triggered" the issue... Using CPU Spy I could confirm that the phone would enter Deep Sleep mode; I did this multiple times (resetting timers) without fail. I then plugged in the phone to the charging source (I've tested both the power block and USB connection), waited until the phone detected the source then unplugged the cable. I then repeated the same steps to confirm Deep Sleep using CPU Spy and this time, the phone would never enter Deep Sleep, but instead would only drop down to 384MHz.... once again a reboot will resolve the issue until the next time a power source is plugged in.
One note to mention, on one of my phones, I have to charge it to 100% before it exhibits the issue while the other will always see the issue regardless of battery level.
I have also confirmed this to occur with a default install of ICS; no apps installed, etc. Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation and if so, any ideas as to what may causing the problem?
The phone doesn't sleep when plugged in
If you read my post, I didn't say I was expecting it to sleep when plugged in, I said, plugging in a power source triggered the problem. I then remove the cable and re-confirm whether the phone is not able to enter a Deep Sleep state...

Is wifi involved?
I think i see the same issue here. after a reboot battery life is better. next day battery life short. Phone will not go in to deep sleep. Is there an easy way to trouble shoot deep sleep issues?

WiFi and GPS are off for me.
Wifi doesn't appear to make a difference as one phone is in airplane mode while the other is my daily phone. I do have it shutting off wifi when sleeping.
Again, to reiterate, the issue is seen ONLY AFTER connecting the phone to any power source... even if for only a few seconds. Until this connection is made, the phone will ALWAYS enter Deep Sleep.
Very easy to test:
1. Using an app to monitor CPU states (I used CPU Spy), I reset timers and put phone into sleep mode (hitting power button).... wait a few seconds to allow the timers to populate.
2. Bring phone out of sleep mode (press power button) and confirm CPU states... In this case, Deep Sleep is the majority of the time, with some usage seen on 384MHz
3. Connect power source, let phone detect it, then UNPLUG cable. At this point, phone is not charging.
4 Using app, confirm CPU states; in my case it shows various speeds used (majority 384) but Deep Sleep is no longer seen and listed as an unused state
5. Just to confirm, reset timers again, put phone to sleep, let sit a few seconds to allow timers to populate.
6. Confirm CPU states again, once again, Deep Sleep state is NOT used and listed under unused CPU states.
7. Reboot phone and repeat steps 1 & 2 and you will again see the phone is able to enter Deep Sleep state.

Tested with various usb cables?
Various cables and source; e.g. power block and/or USB connected to PC. It would appear, as far as I can tell, that any power source "triggers" something to prevent it from entering a Deep Sleep state.

Got me thinking on this and it reminded me of the troubleshooting we were doing with the battery getting stuck at 100%...
Although I've tested this with multiple chargers, cables, etc.... I just tested using a very short USB cable I have, approx. 8" or so. Good news, it appears to "reset" whatever is causing the problem and I now get my Deep Sleep state back. I also re-tested this same setup with the OEM USB cable (which I already done), but still still the problem. So, something about the short cable is different; guessing signal impedance or something similar.

At the house i have a 5 inch cable. I will test with that later tonight. Glad you made a post about this. It was driving me crazy. Maybe its a work around. It sure would be nice to figure out what is causing this issue so that all cables work.
Well this sucks. Most likely an unfinished kernel, which we can't fix without the source.

Glad things are working for you, are you rooted? This would be the only scenario I've not tested.
To clarify, everything was working fine for me for awhile on two phones, then suddenly this issue surfaced. I've reinstalled, wiped cache, etc with no resolution... Although the short cable work around resolves the issue, I travel 100% of the time for work and don't want to have to worry about battery life, so I've gone back to 2.3.6 (Nexus4) and no longer experience the problem.

I'm rooted. And just installed rr's kernel with tweaks. I'm going to see how that affects battery. If battery doesn't improve, I'm going back to GB until it's improved. I can't stand bad battery.

I'm running a rooted I flashed with the OneClick .exe and rooted it. My phone is entering deep sleep even after being plugged in. I am using the charger that came with my Nexus One with the OEM Dock. I will test it again at work where I use the same charger without the dock and see if it changes.
The short cable does seem to do something. I have two longer cables and after using one of those the phone will not go to deep sleep until a reboot. below is what i am using.
[ROM] MHX-SUPERLITE-3.1 Stable *Latest UCLA3 Base* ~Get Longer Battery Life~
Kernel]Skyrocket[2.6.35.14](010)OC~1.73GHz/GPU OC/OTG/UV/SLQB/BLN[Mar-09]
Just check at work. Phone will still go into Depp sleep after charging with the charger that came with my HTC Nexus One. I have not tried cgarging it with the cable and AC / USB converter that came with it.
Update on this issue....
I did a Darkside wipe to see if I could clean things up and while all issue's I was experiencing, such as power off/reboot hang, etc have been resolved, I still see this issue when I do not use a Samsung charger (power block) of any kind.
I can now easily reproduce this issue 100% using an Apple power block with the OEM cable. The good news is, I no longer need to use my short USB cable connected to my PC (Mac) to correct the problem; if I simply use the OEM power block it will also reset the problem... very strange behavior.
They had a problem similar to this over in the at&t Note forum. The phone would not enter deep sleep after charging. They were able to enable deep sleep by turning on the screen before unplugging the phone from the charger. It wasn't a real fix but it allowed deep sleep to happen every time. Maybe you are having a similar issue with your kernel. Hope this helps.

So, I've been battling idle drain battery problems for a while now . I was unable to make much progress because I did not have visibility into partial wakelocks on the system . So I did what any inquisitive person would, I rooted my phone. Bye bye warranty.
Now that I have root, I am able to see the partial wakelocks in better battery stats. To my partial surprise , I do not see any substantial partial wakelocks that would explain the significant battery drain at night. I have good cellular signal, and wifi signal where the phone is placed.
Any clues?
Almost 25 percent in 9 hours. Also notice the lack of activity between successive awake blips, and the constant battery drain that occurs between them. Before I even got root and was able to look at the partial wakelocks, I had already suspected that there were no wakelocks going on but yet the battery was draining.

Below are screenshots from the stock battery app showing the top battery drainers and the details of the major ones.
By the way, I would attribute approximately 6 percent of the battery drain due to the screens. I have quite a bit of data that suggests at the brightness levels I was using the screen for those 30 minutes, the drain rate should have been around 12 percent per hour. That still leaves 18 to 20 percent of battery to be accounted for. According to better battery stats, the phone was only awake for around 30 minutes total when the screen was off. And looking at the CPU Lodge, it's clear that those 30 minutes or so were spent in the lowest frequency mode , and that the phone was in deep sleep at all other times.
Attached are the better battery stats logs that shows the partial wakelocks as well. I don't know why the CPU's states are not included in the file but I can assure you I took a look look at it and the 30 or so minutes of awake time were perfectly captured by the 300mhz state.

I turned airplane mode on, and left location services on. Battery drain was 2.8%/hr (measured over a 5% battery drain interval) with the phone only being awake for 7min 28sec when the screen was off. There were around 5min of NLP wakelocks, and some other miscelaneous ones. I don't think that explains the battery drain fully.
Then, I turned off location services, and the battery drain has been 1.7%/hr (measured over an 8% battery drain interval) with a total awake time of 5 mins, and of that only 1 min of awake time when the screen was off. Very few to no wakelocks.
What is wrong? Why is the battery draining at ~2%/hr with airplane mode on, location services off, and the phone being in deep sleep pretty much the whole time!?
Hey I'm trying to find if there of a pattern with the battery drain and the battery voltage (mv) .I slightly have the felling the battery is a bit wonky . Could you check the battery voltage while charging just before 100% and the voltage when it has fully charged ? .. Try the code *#*#4636#*#*
I feel the my peak battery voltage has dropped significantly over the last 2 weeks.

I have the same problem with mine, no clue what the problem is, I turned off location services and I dont use 3g at all, only wifi while at home or other places sometimes, but the drain persists, still dont know what to do

I don't think a cache wipe is the solution. For example, see the updated battery settings screenshot below. The flat line at the end is the result of just rebooting the device (no cache wipe). The battery is no longer draining constantly, even though the same services are activated.
I'm the OP of the thread that I think first reported this issue. Note that I found that the drain is noticeable in airplane mode as you expect there to be almost zero drain, however it still happens when not in airplane mode as well, you just notice it less as the device is doing other stuff which all adds up to battery drain.
I think there is a driver bug, most likely a WiFi driver bug or possibly GPS driver bug. For example maybe GPS is somehow constantly active but the bug manifests itself in such a way that this is not reported to the OS itself which is why you do not see it active in the battery screen .
I had the exact same issue as reported above, no wakelocks over and above the normal amount but the drain was 3% hr or so. A reboot fixed it but it would reoccur when i connected to another WiFi network.
A factory reset fixed it completely until a few weeks ago when I was on the road and used GPS. That night I had the battery drain issue again.
So whether its WiFi or GPS that's the cause I don't know, and why, for me, did it stay fixed for so long. I also can't remember if I had GPS switched on when I first had the issue before the factory reset so makes it harder for me to determine the cause.
The above was all on 4.3. I've now upgraded to 4.4.2.
I think the only way to debug will to be to pull off all the various logs from android, you may even need to turn on various debugging/logs from the OS to capture more logs. I'm pretty sure you wont diagnose from just looking at wakelocks and battery screens.
If you can recreate this problem, and sounds like some of you have it a lot, then you are in a good position to get the logs.
BTW does anyone use the BBC weather app, I noticed this caused a LOT of NLP wakelocks so don't think its related but I did notice on 4.4.2 that it drained battery fast so I uninstalled. There is a thread in xda that I started about it.
A poster above says to clear cache, this is normally pointless as /cache will usually contain nothing except a few empty folders and a couple of log files. Also clearing cache means a reboot which temporarily fixes the issue anyway.

Thanks you very much for your reply Scott.
As you can see in my troubleshooting, I eventually turned location services and wifi off, but still measured a considerable battery drain. Do you suppose that once you use wifi, or location services after bootup, the effect may remain afterward even if they are switched off? If so, do you agree that if I turn off location services and wifi, then reboot so that the phone boots up with neither - that should be able to verify your hypothesis?
I'll go ahead and try that for a few days and see how it goes. Will report back.
Others have mentioned something to do with the cellular radio power management, and how rebooting and clearing the cache helps with that (apparently this came from a motorola rep...). I've included a data point in this thread where I merely rebooted without a cache clear and the problem went away. So, perhaps the clearing of the cache really does nothing at all ...
If this is a software issue, why aren't all phone with the same software version effected? How are people getting 6-7 days of standby time consistently? Maybe they never use wifi or location services? Well, I intend to test the wifi/gps hypothesis soon .
google+, google now etc caused me a massive battery drain until i greenified them. now i get a solid 2 days and about ~6 hours screen on time.

This thread is specifically about battery drain caused by something unknown, not an app or wakelock, I think we should try to keep it clean by not cluttering with app related issues as that can then be confusing for people who are reading through the thread. Thanks.

Well I cant answer all your questions but I will tell you about my test last night. I hardly use GPS at all (and my battery is normal) and last time I did use GPS I had the battery drain as per my post above, so last night I:
1. Drove 15mins from my house.
2. Switched on GPS (high accuracy).
3. Started google maps and drove for 2mins with GPS in use.
4. Shutdown maps app and drove home (GPS still on - ie high accuracy).
5. At home used phone for bit of XDA on wifi for a bit.
6. Switched on airplane mode but location service still on (note airplane mode does NOT switch off GPS), woke up at 02:00AM and noted I had the annoying battery drain - arghhh.
7. Switched off GPS - woke up 2 hrs later and drain still happening.
8. Switch off location altogether - woke up in morning and drain still happening.
9. Rebooted phone and now battery back to normal, Im back on wifi/mobile location (battery saving).
So to me it looks like its maybe related to GPS in some way but whether its purely GPS or a GPS/wigi/location combo I have no idea.
However I have in the past switced on GPS in my house just to play about and havent has the drain, so is it due to a larger change of location when GPS is on (ie 15mins drive from my house) that causes it to go bad.
So annoying, I took a CWM backup before I booted up my phone so I will pull that to my laptop and see if there are any obvious error logs to look at but I doubt it.
Im still leaning towards a driver issue or maybe some component, eg GPS chip, staying alive/awake even when not in use but m sure others have reported they have it with location/GPS off completely. Maybe its even a few different problems.
You said not everyone has the error, but I bet quite a few non-xda people do but do not realise. A lot of people will just charge their phones overnight so wont even realise, during the day they will think ~2% drop per hour is normal. Even if they do notice the drop in airplane mode they probably think thats normal and ignore it.
I think getting Motorola to accept there is an error is going to be almost impossible especially if its hardware related. Also as we have unlocked bootloader I doubt they will even accept a call once they know that.
I think it would be interesting to get a list of phones that are affected, ie model, serial no, location brought, ROM etc. maybe its a certain batch of phones, if we can determine that it would be some help, maybe we could buy one that isnt affected
So to start it off my phone is
XT1032 UK retail brought from Basildon, Essex, UK from phones4u.
Problem happens on 4.3 stock and 4.4.2 stock.
Baseband version is MSM8626BP_1032.340.63.00R.
Im tempted to flash GPE and/or new basenband radio but I bet the same thing happens.
I may see if there is a new GPS driver but no idea how to flash it etc.
Such a shame as this phone is excellent for me otherwise.
Just seen this thread as well, it blames GPS

if they're system apps, yeah. totally worth it tho cos you can do maps/fb etc too, also you can allow apps that get push messages to still give you notifications whilst greenified.
e: just to note, i have gps (high accuracy) enabled constantly and still manage 2 days.

Maybe you can help test if you don't mind.
1. Use Google maps with high accuracy when you go out for 5mins or so.
2. Once home use phone as normal on WiFi for a bit, just 10mins will be enough.
3. Take note of battery percent.
4. Switch on airplane mode for 2hrs - DO NOT USE PHONE during this time.
5. After 2hrs take note of battery percent.
6. Report the battery percents recorded in this thread.
If you can do this we would be grateful.
Let us know your phone model, where purchased, ROM etc.
Thanks.
Hi,
Following this MotoG thread for some time I have to admit that my MotoG also has the same issue from time to time.
This is the reason now that I joined XDA because this issue is a real pain.
Having my MotoG for three weeks now I had to restart it four or five times to get rid of the excessive battery drain.
My MotoG (XT1032) is bought in the Netherlands, unlocked, rooted, CWM and stock ROM.
I did remove some Motorola apps and disabled some.
Because of the last remarks that it seems to be GPS related, I want to let you know that it also happened to me without using the GPS.
Yesterday it happened at school, at first the drain was not present but suddenly it started.
In the between the two situation I only checked my mail through Wifi and checked some news.
My MotoG has Wifi always on, bluetooth off, GPS off.
There must be something more than just GPS which causes this drain.
Hopefully we can find the root cause soon.

Thanks for your reply, have you confirmed this drain happens when in airplane mode as well and that no wakelocks occur, no unusual statistics in battery screen etc. I ask as some people say they have the issue but then say they have greenified an app etc to stop it which basically means they dont have the issue at all. Im not saying I dont believe you, far from it, I just want to confirm its exactly the same issue as a few of us are seeing. Next time can you NOT reboot but leave phone in airplane mode for a few hours and DONT use it at all, then see if battery has gone down by 2-3% per hour.
Thanks.
Have not used airplane mode to check it, but will sure do this when it happens next time.
What I observed in battery stats was a high percentage of android-os.
I have not used greenify so far.

Doesn't sound like the same issue if android OS shows high in battery stats. That sounds more like a wakelock issue of some kind which still means you may get drain in airplane mode but for a different reason.
This thread is specifically for the problem of ALL battery stats looking normal, so android OS doesn't show up as high.
I think your best get is to root and install 'wakelock detector' app and you will probably see some high wakelock for android OS.
Thanks for your post on the Motorola forums Scott. It was well written, and to the point. I hope this issue gets the attention it deserves. I'll be reporting in the next few days with my experiments.

I had the impression that I was suffering the same problem.
Will have a look with a 'wakelock detector' to see if I can tackle the high android-os consumption since I rooted my device already.
Although the issue seems different I will have a good look this morning since I have to use the GPS.
Will keep you informed if I notice something weird.
OK guys so I have a serious issue with the battery not charging at nights, when I plug my phone in. I frequently wake up to a hot phone with only 35% charge and it's been on the charger for 8+hours.
I have a strong feeling this has something to do with it being on airplane mode... Which by the way I have done for years at bed time with no issues until recently.
I need some help with this because I can't figure it out.
Here are my better battery stats from boot when I wake up and it's still on the charger. (Please note I can't do it from unplugged as the issue is charging)

your wakelocks have nothing to do with it not charging, check your usb chord or charger(use a different chord and charger). when your plugged in, does it say AC or USB?
It says AC and my charging cord is perfectly fine.
LOOK at the battery stats man, it's 2.27GHz while phone is supposed to be sleeping.
In the stats I've posted is the issue, I just need help to figure out which part
Partial WakeLocks audioIn. Maybe with the new Google now has WakeLocks on airplane mode trying to fetch data??
yea, and 55% is way to high. its normal to wake for a minute here and there, but 55% is extreme. reboot your phone, it looks like a stuck process.
Not sure bout the n5 but other phones I've had stay awake whilst charging not deep sleep.
Obviously something is wrong here but I can't see that no deep sleep is the cause.

Took a nap again. While sleeping:
what rom/kernel are you using? havevyou considered a factory reset?
Unusual issue for sure. I'd just fastboot stock on it, and see how it is before installing anything. Rule out hardware. ?
Purity ROM/code blue kernel.
It's certainly not hardware issue because my phone has gained 3-4% in the last 5 minutes while checking this forum and replying to this msg. After a fresh restart with the phone still plugged in, sometimes that gets past the issue.
It has something to do with airplane more and charging I think..although it also wasn't getting past 0% while using phone earlier today without airplane mode.... :s
I'm gonna do have to do a wipe and fresh install of ROM and Kernel
So full wipe and reinstall ROM and Kernel. Problem still exists.
Wakelocks are coming from
Google Search/AudioIn primarily.
I have "ok google" enabled from any screen including lock screen. This may have something to do with it however what's the point in making this a option with Google Now if you can't even charge your phone above 40%.. Due to constant wakelocks..
Either that or it has something to do with Google now trying to use data in combo with AudioIn when airplane mode is on

Clearly.. Understood. I know what it does man..
But if one can't charge their phone with an 1.2A AC adapter during the night over an 8h period.. is this really a viable option to use "OK google" from any screen??
Others with this option enabled are you experiencing charing issues?
Doesn't this phone have a "sub processor" used for this type of activity in order to avoid full CPU usage?
It's using the top CPU freq and I've been trying to figure out this issue for a few weeks now.

Honestly, is it really a useful option to use in the first place, other than for showing off?
The low-powered core in the Nexus 5 is used for a hardware pedometer (ask Google why) rather than for audio listening or music playing capability. Unlocking/modifying it's capability would be diving into legal ramifications without permission. Hence why it uses a wakelock, which in turn makes it useless unless you don't care about battery at all.

I'm not the one to tell you that since I've had it entirely disabled since day one.
It could be that the AudioIn wakelock that Google Search is using also wakes Google Play Services, which then wakes your device even more. Looking at your screenshots in the first post, Google Play Services woke your device "619 times over 13hrs 39mins, 45.3 per hour".
Although not a solution, but using some kind of quiet hours app may appease your need for airplane mode

People that just love this Google now any screen issue are going to have to just accept it's a battery hog. Or get a moto X and have this feature even when the screen is off. No wakelocks and no real battery drain.
As far as having trouble charging, one solution is turning the feature off, charge the phone, then turn it on again.
Google puts features like this out cause of a demand... And they probably don't care if it's hard on the battery. People wanted it and they gave it to them.

So currently I'm using my new xperia z5.. It's one week already since i have this phone. I noticed that my phone drain battery real quick.. It's quite make me sad. But the good thing is when i wanted to charge it.. It charge so fast.. Like maybe 30 minutes for 40% increase.. And btw
... I want u guys to help me how i can fix my problem cause i love using my phone as a gaming device and browsing and other stuff, it is like my 24 hours non stop without using it .. I knew i was a beginner in android thing.. Please guys help me..
Am i supposed to factory reset it or anything i could do?? And Btw I'm using the UCH20 ( i read in the sony that itsn't quick charging) but I'm happy with the charging though..
It is fast.. But also fast to drain
Please guys help me D':
Go to Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage to see what is using your battery the most. If you want more help, I would advise you to take a screenshot of that page and post it here. With me, it's normally Chrome or the Screen.
Could you please post your screen on time? You can tap on screen to see what it is.
He said 30 minutes CHARGING for 40% increase...
Anyway, I can't even get my Quick Charger to perform that well so maybe OP should let the battery discharge fully and then charge fully to maybe calibrate the battery.

Oops. Didn't read correctly. Also are you using the charger that came out of the box? I don't think that is quick charge.
Maybe try using a normal charger instead of a quick charger? I don't use quick charge and normally get 4-5 hours SOT.
UCH20 is a "normal" charger. UCH10 is the Sony Quick Charge one but doesn't come with every Z5.

My Z5 came with the quick charger. Made in Taiwan. Perhaps it would be the causes of the battery drain?

I think so.. But it maybe not the main reason why it drained so fast.. it is like when i just using my phone only for 2 minutes it also drain for 2%. What a mess! i don't expected Sony to be like this tbh

Yes i noticed that.. The worst thing is when i just left my phone at screen off.. The battery just decreasing like 3% unused which is why i just so pissed off. I hope sony could fix this thing when comes to marshmallow update. i heard that marshmallow could handle this stuff properly
What about auto sync,and location settings too. Those have an impact on battery drain also. I leave auto sync off,and havw location on battery save mode. It helps. I came from a z3 which had awesome battery life, but I totally agree here about the z5's battery. Hope marshmallow helps.
Will anybody perform a reset after the new marshmallow?
Is it needed?

Your welcome. Ok, go into settings, accounts,and then top right press the 3 dot menu and itshould be there,if it's on it should be checked,just Un check it.
I use an app for toggles called power toggles,and in this app there is a manual sync all button. So when I want to sync(primarily to sync Gmail) I can just press it,and my mail shows up. I could also just go to Gmail and slide screen down to sync.
Hope this helps.

That's so true.. It happens to me either. Now i think that Sony phone is quite disappointing for now.. and at the end i hope that they fix this asap next year :3
Make sure wifi scanning even when wifi is off is turned off and put location settings on battery saving (mobile network and wifi only).
Also switch to 2g when not using internet. Switch to 2G voice and text only.
Then you can add a mobile data and 4g toggle on the quick setting toggles and when you want internet press 4g then mobile data, then when finished press mobile data toggle and then turn 4g off and it will go back to 2g.
You should also check in google account that anything you don't need syncing like google music, books, games etc is not syncing.
Fast chargers work fine and won't impact battery life short term. I get 5hours SOT using Galaxy S6 fast charger.

I've been googling this issue for 3 months now. The battery drain while the phone is asleep is outrageous from day 1 of owning it. Most nights Accubattery shows a loss of 2 to 5% per hour while screen is off, and usually like 93% of the screen off time is in deep sleep. The drain should be 0.5% at most.
I confirmed that battery saving mode cures the issue. I have now confirmed that simply turning off wifi cures the issue. I'm practically certain that Wifi is the cause. BUT WHY?
I have tried flashing the NoLimits xXx Magisk mod, and have tried other custom ROMs and this issue persists. I have even completely reflashed back to stock using the unbrick procedure with the MSMDownloadTool.exe. We can rule out all possible custom tweaks. This phone is stock and it's doing this.
I've tried a variety of settings people have mentioned like turning off printer service, and a couple settings in Dev Options like App Wifi Multi Broadcast Filter. I've enabled the same filter on my router. No luck.
My router is a Linksys EA7300. What can I do besides replace my router? Its a powerful router but is very locked down, settings wise, with no custom firmwares like WRT. I'm pretty much stuck with it. It has no advanced options to dig through...
Edit: Well I swapped routers entirely and I can already tell this is draining just as fast when connected to it. Its just the Wifi driver entirely to blame.
Here's last night.

Check if wifi and bluetooth scanning is on under location settings. If so, disable them at once

Do you have Google pay? I was on 10.3.1 and had Google pay activated so location history was always on to have it work. That totally killed my battery, I'm talking insane amounts of drain. I'm back to TMobile 10.0.2 and turned that off and have most of my apps optimized. Also I installed GMS doze through magisk and I'm getting decent battery life. My WiFi is on 24/7,data always enabled, allow location to some apps while using and everything is fine.

I never use Google Pay and I always disable that app. I cant even use it if I wanted because it requires a secured lockscreen, which I dont want. Do I need to do more than just disable the app? Also the NoLimits xXx Magisk mod included that GMS doze function and that didnt cure the issue.

Already did that for a couple nights. It did not. No apps were guilty of anything, just like every other battery monitor said. App usages were like 1 or 2% and in no way added up to 40% loss overnight.

Did you check partial wakelocks/ kernel wakelocks section in the app? It may not always be an app that may cause this...it could be a sensor or so. If everything is normal, I'd suggest installing a custom kernel of your choice and check for drains over 3 days..

Yes at the time I looked at every line of data it gave. Some wakelock entries had 400-1000 instances in 8 hours of sleeping, but I was googling them as keywords and was finding absolutely nothing useful. As usual, I was the only human being on earth with a technical issue. I always seem to be patient zero for this kind of crap.
I guess I need to wipe my phone yet again, abandon stock and abandon bootloader lock. That will take my whole weekend up again. I just want a damn device I paid $550 to actually work.
I truly miss my first android. Ran 2.0. Flashing roms was easy. Everything just worked.
Edit: I completely switched routers and the result is the same after an hour. 5% drained in an hour literally just doing nothing.

It seems there's some sensor that's running rogue in your phone which is why your settings is the top draining app. Are you rooted? If aren't, I'd suggest rooting and then installing betterbatterystats (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats) and checking what app/ setting is screwing with your battery. For all you know, you may have a broken sensor/ hardware. If so, the best solution is to RMA your device

Ok...I will try turning off voice over wifi. I cant imagine how that would be a drain when I'm not making calls while I sleep though...
Edit: Tried it. Still drained 2% per hour, which is about the best I've ever gotten with wifi on, so it probably didnt have an impact. I tend to have 1 night or so a week where it decides to drain 2%/h instead of 4%/h. This was likely another one of those nights.
Do you use Tasker?
In my case the Tasker's location triggered profile, caused the battery drain.

I've never used Tasker. Also I have gone through all permissions for all apps and made sure nothing has access to such things that arent absolutely needed.
OnePlus support got back to me and had me try Safe Mode. Didn't know this existed. Hold your power button then hold Power Off selection until a safe mode popup shows. So I did that, turned off airplane mode, turned on wifi. Let it sit and it would seem it drained only 1% over 3 hours, which is great, so I am stumped once again. I wonder if there is some setting in my google account that is the culprit here. Maybe I should reset the phone again, get past the setup pages, but NOT log into a google account, and see how the battery does on wifi then.

If it's something to do with your google account, you should google play services as the top draining app. I really think you need to betterbatterystats (BBS) to really see what's screwing with your battery. AccubatteryPro doesn't really give as detailed picture as BBS.

I've been googling this issue for 3 months now. The battery drain while the phone is asleep is outrageous from day 1 of owning it. Most nights Accubattery shows a loss of 2 to 5% per hour while screen is off, and usually like 93% of the screen off time is in deep sleep. The drain should be 0.5% at most.
I confirmed that battery saving mode cures the issue. I have now confirmed that simply turning off wifi cures the issue. I'm practically certain that Wifi is the cause. BUT WHY?
I have tried flashing the NoLimits xXx Magisk mod, and have tried other custom ROMs and this issue persists. I have even completely reflashed back to stock using the unbrick procedure with the MSMDownloadTool.exe. We can rule out all possible custom tweaks. This phone is stock and it's doing this.
I've tried a variety of settings people have mentioned like turning off printer service, and a couple settings in Dev Options like App Wifi Multi Broadcast Filter. I've enabled the same filter on my router. No luck.
My router is a Linksys EA7300. What can I do besides replace my router? Its a powerful router but is very locked down, settings wise, with no custom firmwares like WRT. I'm pretty much stuck with it. It has no advanced options to dig through...
Edit: Well I swapped routers entirely and I can already tell this is draining just as fast when connected to it. Its just the Wifi driver entirely to blame.
Here's last night.

I have the exact issue I have tried all the things you have and what had been suggested and more but nothing seems to work
Take a look at this, after this tip my idle drain got a major improvement.just remember to restart after you apply the tip.Read the whole thread.

Tried that weeks ago. Also enabled the same setting on my router itself. No difference.
I want to charge the phone at night with slowly wireless charging, but I want the phone stop at 85% and not keep charging.
I heard something about that if the phone stops at 85%, it will be drain to 84% and go up again to 85% if its still on charger, and that's not good for me.
Someone know if there is any option to stop the charging on percent I decide, no matter if the phone continue to be on charging cable?
This is doable with Bixby Routines

I believe there are some root solutions you can use to limit the battery charge, although I can't remember off the top of my head what they are. Without root, your only option is something external like Chargie.
You can use AccuBattery and IFTTT with a smart plug to terminate charging. I have found this to be much more reliable than using a Bixby routine.

Ive got accubattery, but how do it do it there?
For root phone (I'm not sure if it's too for non-root) here is Advanced Charging Controller.
you can set to which % to charge and more.

I've been running two of these devices for a couple of weeks now. They are working well thus far. My only criticisms are the 3d printed housings and the price.

You set AccuBattery to your desired charge limit and then when that limit is reached, it will create a notification stating that the desired charge limit has been reached, please disconnect your charger. You give IFTTT permission to read AccuBattery’s notifications and then create an IFTTT applet which looks at AccuBatter’s notifications and when it sees a notification containing the word disconnect, it instructs a smart plug’s app to turn the smart plug off. I have been using this system for several years now and I have the smart plug programmed to come on about an hour before I get up in the morning. I plug my phone into the charger before I go to sleep each night. When I get up in the morning my phone is charged to 78% and the phone’s battery barely deteriorates after being used for these years.
I use this one but I will take a look into Bixby Routines, it looks like Tasker apparently.
There is a setting in battery and device care>battery>more battery settings>battery protection. Will pause charging when it hits 85%

Your screenshot is of the Battery Charge Limit app, which requires a rooted device in order to function. I have it installed and running on a rooted Pixel 2 XL.

What is IFTTT?
edit:
searched about it on google, its very similar for bixby routines. does the bixby routines will work the same if I set battery protection?

But does the bixby routines of battery protection actually work like I wish? that when the battery get 85% (or how much I set) so it will be stop charging?
I want it to stop when it comes to the percent I set
Craig_D said:
Currently on my 3 year old Note 9, awaiting delivery of my S22U, as with previous phones, I disable fast charging, if the phone has the feature, as it generally isn't good for battery life expectancy. I always plan to keep my phone longer than the one or two years many people do, so battery health/life is important to me. I have a timer-socket adapter, like this, I use for through-the-night charging, whereby, I set a timer duration, depending on the battery level at bedtime. I'll perhaps set the timer to be on and charging the phone between 4 & 5:30am. Apart from the first few charging cycles of a new phone, I don't like to fully charge/discharge the phone often, only occasionally. I top the charge up during the day, if need be, in the car etc but I never use wireless charging even though my car has the ability to. I'll probably start using the wireless charging with my S22U though, as not using it probably doesn't lengthen the expectancy by much. I appreciate battery charging technology has improved greatly recently, I'm just stuck in my ways I guess.

There is also the app, Battery Charge Limit [ROOT] You set the maximum charge level the phone will reach and a minimum, at which point the phone begins to charge again. For example, it will cease charging at 85% abd begin charging again at 50%

I dont want it to charge again, this is exactly the point. I want it to be sure for me that once it receiving the percent i set, with protection battery, it will stop charging.

You could set the minimum charge level to 1% or if you used the timer-socket method it would cease charging at your predefined time and not start again

I dont have root and dont want to root my phone, I consider if this possible with routines without set the minimum, just set it to protection battery when get to 85% and then it stop charging even when it connected to the charger. Hope you understand me

Think your best bet is to use the timer=socket method. That way, when it reaches 85% and stops charging and then the timer reaches your predefined 'stopping' time, it will not charge again.

what is timer socket?
This, you manually set the on/off times yourself
