You need to describe your device configuration. Phonetype, Firmware, ....
Time for a clean install.

Try Installing soju factory image from google. I did a clean install wiping dalvic chache as well and my battery is awsome since then and I never disable google now. See in the attached screenshot how flat battery consumption curve when I am not using it.

I did the samething after getting terrible battery life due to an AudioOut_2 wakelock that never let my phone idle, and the same thing still happens. I'm wondering if a hardware malfunction could cause screwy behavior like this.
Just do "proper clean install", it should help.
Agree with clean install. ROM and kernel choice have a lot to do with battery drain also.
Was this a one time thing or the norm for your phone? If a one time thing wouldn't worry too much but would still shop for ROMs and do a clean install.
I have started using Juice Defender and LUX and my battery life has increased exponentially its features should help any ROM kernel combo.

i had a problem with android os sucking the life out of my battery, all was ok for about a week after i installed jb but then my battery life sucked. rather than do a clean instal i turned off auto sync for a couple of days then switched it back on again, since then my battery life has been good and android os has hardly used up any battery. might be worth while trying this first
Yeah. Full wipe is a last resort. At least if you figure out what actually caused it, you can prevent it from happening. I remember my Nexus S had this weird bug where if I put the phone in air plan mode and didn't disable auto sync, the phone would never properly sleep. Never had that issue on any other phone.
Its sometimes ROM related....codename ROM I get high android is but not with androxide

You have network disabled... Off course it does not drain!
I cannot tell much about your device setup since not all the details were given, But even my Sprint Nexus S 4G had horrible battery issues. The stock gingerbread was a joke, then the stock ICS did improve to do a couple more hours. Now running an rooted JB and it seems to do 1day and 3 hours at this time.

Turning off Google now is what fixed the battery drain for me. Tried other things but only this worked.

my NS4G with MIUI 2.6.1 and Matrix 20.0 Kernal goes to 98% as soon as i pull off the charger. if i use it for 45 minutes unplugged its dead. if i use it while its plugged in, it will die!
should i get a new battery?
Yeah that doesn't happen to me... I would try a full wipe and reflash the same ROM (or a different one) and reflash kernel.
If that doesn't work then I would try another battery because that drain seems abnormal
I just wanted to say that I have been having similar battery problems. Using the exact same ROM and Kernel as the OP, today my phone died within 6 hours of use, with the screen having been on for no more than 50 minutes. I also turned off data, and sync during this time, and had my screen's brightness at the minimum.
I've wiped and flashed AOKP b-38 today, and the consumption seems to be much better.
Any thing to help?
thought i was the only one.
is it the kernal?
or is it because its time for a new battery?
How could I test to find out which it is...
Swap kernels. Probably easiest way to test.
Very possible its just an old worn out battery.
Sent by pocket technology.
hoping its just an old battery.
ive switched to CM9 / TouchWiz mod thinking it might be the ROM
im going to use the stock kernal from CM9 for a day to see if i could tell a difference.
ordered a new battery anyways.
saw on a forum somewhere a guy complaining about this problem since he switched to ICS ROMs .. hopefully thats not the case because i LOVE 4.0.X

Well in that case, what have you got installed? If you have apps constantly syncing, that could be part of the problem. What are your battery stats saying is using the most battery? My phone gets warm, but as expected since its being used. If its not being used,it could be a rogue app or the phone could be constantly searching for a good signal.

i have barely any apps.
i only have facebook, xda, sportscenter and instagram installed besides GApps.
i have the problem even before i download apps as i just flashed CM9
also its so bad, that if i start using my battery when its @ 10% PLUGGED IN, it will eventually die on me. even though its charging..
Battery drains 100 to 0 in 2~3 hours.
It occurs even sitting in idle and my spare battery shows the same problem.

So your saying that even with a fresh install (no apps installed) you're having the same problem? The android system seems to be consuming a lot of battery, normally its around 2 to 3%. Do you have an SD card? have you tried scanning it for viruses? Or may be you could try installing an antivirus just to be sure and put your device and sd through a full scan.

android system on my htc chacha is using something like 48%, I charge my phone three times a day, was ur problem related to a virus or something? I try not to buy a antivirus since it costs too much and also I believe it drains much more battery than android system..

I doubt whether a hardware problem could be the cause, android system should not consume so much battery in any case. Did you wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache when you installed the custom roms?
I didn't install a custom rom, the only thing that I did was S-off and rooting the phone, could it have caused this issue?

You said in your first post that you have flashed cm7 and cm9 and I am guessing you must have done it using clockwork recovery. I am a little confused now. Did you factory reset the device?

I did factory reset more than ten times.
Actually, this battery issue has started to happen since I flashed cm9. At first, I thought this came from mismatched RIL & baseband.
(Note : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549488)
Sadly GetRIL doesn't support chacha, so I just flashed back to the one I used before - with full wipe - but it couldn't resolve the issue.
The last thing I could think of was flashing back to stock rom and I followed this guide.
(Note : http://androidforums.com/chacha-all...lash-back-stock-rom-chacha-please-sticky.html)
I agree that it is strange Android System process eats too much of battery, but I couldn't find any errors from it when I checked the process log.
Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your actually battery? try getting a replacement and see if that helps.
To me android system consumes the same amount and I have like 5 hours full use(e.g. browsing + 3G) , I believe there might be a problem with ur own battery, try replacing it and see whether it works for u or not

Hi,
I am on a rooted stock rom DDLF2. Couple of weeks i am observing high battery drain though none of the apps are running. I dont put any fancy live wall papers or widgets. I have stopped all the background apps like google play, maps etc and Background data unchecked. I always us GSM only and do not use any wifi or data network. Screen brightness is at around 15%. I use the phone very less hardly get around 5 to 6 calls in a day lasting 1 or 2 mins per call. If i charge the phone fully to 100%, after 8 to 9 hours the battery is coming down to 30%. After it comes down to 15% the lock screen shows it is charging with the percent symbol even though it is not connected to the charger.
I tried resetting the phone, cleared the dalvik cache and the cache partition but no use. I suspect this is a software bug.
Has anybody faced similar problem? Any solution would be much helpful.
I am also facing the same problem.. can anybody plz help??

Do it once. then charge your phone to 100%.. allow it to discharge it to 20%..
Again repeat the cycle for 3-4 times..
this should solve the problem hopefully..

Yes i already tried it. Cleared the battery stats. But did not solve the problem. Surprisingly the moment battery charge drops to 15% it starts showing the line "Charging (15%)" on the lock screen even the charger is not connected to the phone. Not sure what is wrong.
So i am thinking of downgrading the version. Can anybody suggest me any good stable stock rom which can be used for India (since i am in India) particularly with good battery life.

Even i was feeling that phone's battery is dead, but trust me, I reverted back to DDKP3, and installed BAM kernel .. I find battery backup much improved, I have kept GPRS on for 5 hours now ..11% battery drained. On the LF2 ( for india without BAM ) and on the ICS drain was huge.. like in 6 hours i have seen drain more than 45%
I have even bought new battery also.. but testing on Old battery only.. You can try combo of DDKP3+ BAM or DDKP3+titanium!.
Update
It's 8 hours 11 mins, GPRS on since phone was charged to 100%, battery is drained to 86% ( 14% drained) Display On for 7 mins 21 seconds!
It seems like my old battery is still well and can work!

Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Very similar here, except I don't have battery doctor or clean master. My battery life sucks. I have disabled CIQ and Google Now. I installed WakeLock Detector and I am charging to 100% tonight, unplugging it, and will check in the morning to see whats going on.

Is there a difference between clean wipe and full wipe??
So I did the following:
Stopped cIQ with "Disable Service".
Disabled Google Now
Stop location services
Set brightness to 60% Auto
Charged to 100%, reset (with the charger on), then removed the charger.
Now, I am sitting at 17.5 hours on battery with 4 hours expected time left, and 2 hours screen time. Definite improvement.
not sure about the clean and full wipe but I wouldn't do a factory reset on the phone because your system files might be broken already. Just download the ROM zip file from the internet and go to Recovery to do it.
