Trying to understand a supposed battery problem. Maybe wireless. - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Alright so the past couple days I have been trying to determine and figure out more about why I am having SOD problems. Yes I understand there is a thread for the SOD but something still bugs me on account a friend of mine has no SOD problems with the same wifi model.
While I haven't had an SOD for a couple days something else hasn't been sitting well in my stomach and that's the battery usage... All of a sudden Android OS is using a significant amount of battery. Much higher than the screen and I don't remember that happening before...
So I downloaded better battery stats and let the tablet sit for about 30 to 40 minutes and her are the results. I am hoping someone will see something out of the ordinary and point me in a good direction.
One I thing I see is that the wifi is on a lot and ar6k_wow seems to to be on a decent amount too. Next test will be removing the Facebook app despite me having it set to no notifications or syncing and see how things pan out since I know the Facebook app is notorious for battery drainage.

{Help} Battery troubles still

I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

[Q] Abrupt battery drain

I'm using CM11 and have had a battery problem over the last couple months, spanning several versions.
I posted in the CM11 Q&A thread and no one seemed to have the same problem, so I'm guessing it's not the software.
Last night I had the problem occur while I was actually using the phone.
Every other time it happened while I wasn't using it.
The phone had 100% battery at ~5pm, and at 10:45pm it simply shut off when it should have had over 60% left.
I couldn't get it to turn on without charging it, and when I finally got it started it was at 4%.
The phone didn't get hot at all, so I have no idea where the power went.
Any ideas?

There are many other ROMs. Try cryptecs ROMs. They're stable and maintained pretty much daily.
Sounds like a dodgy battery to me, no amount of changing ROMs is gonna be able to fix that. I had a similar problem with my Evita, these days it won't stay powered on unless it's connected to a power source. Really takes the 'mobile' out of mobile phone.

Android System Battery High

Anyone have any tips on what I can disable on a stock non rooted device to get my Android System battery usage down? It's always on top and is usually in excess of 25%. As it stands I can't even get a day out of this thing with only 1.5 hrs of screen on time.
Maybe the battery is bad, phone is only a couple weeks old.
Oh and I should mention that there's no wakelocks or anything strange, it appears it's a legitimate battery drain. My screen brightness is low as well and today I never woke it up outside, just inside abient light. WiFi is off as well.

A thread all by myself, cool.
Today my battery has been unbelievable, only dropped 28% in 12 with plenty of use. I don't know what to think.
Same issue here.
I've had the phone for 5 days now.
First 3 were a blast with over 5 hours SOT.
I am now getting little over 2 hours SOT thanks to Android System.
Lonely threads come with expensive devices. No support, No Roms, No Development.
Anyhow, For your issue, Try minimizing the permissions of builtin apps. Disable autorun, and use greenify.

Phone keeping itself awake - airplane mode, data off, wifi off

Can nyone help me out with why this happens, only sometimes??
This time it looks like the main culprit is the kernel, but i have no idea: how id fix it, why its only sometimes, what else i oculd do to prevent it. i have even de-greenified google play services and google services framework as they never seem to stay hibernated. Yet this still happened, again....
i also noticed hsic was kept awake for a while, but since im not sure what it is, maybe that is normal...
help??
If it was always draining like that every night, id say maybe its time for a new battery... but it only happens once every few weeks, at most.
it was in the upper 80s last night percent wise. all things in the regular battery usage screen looked normal with screen showing the most usage...

Which phone is it? Go through the apps you installed just before it started and try uninstalling them one-by-one and see if the problem still persists, this helps eliminate those apps. Other than that, factory reset? Probably not what you wanted to hear but that will 99% of the time fix the issue.

Question Android Never Idle

People,
I have a problem with my A52 because it never gets idle in bedtime.
I've configured a Bixby routine to stop sync and all internet connectivity but the problem continues.
Also installed gsam battery but I have doubt how to locate the service that is causing the behavior.
Could you help me?
How many hours are you getting out of one charge cycle? And how many hours of screen on time are you getting?
We could compare and see if you really have a problem and it might become obvious as to what is causing it too.

Thank you!
I'll get the data from a regular usage day and share here to compare.

24-28 hours is about as much as I get myself, and I see that you've got 1d 3h 46min which is about 27 hours. So I'd say its fine.
