Alright, here we go, I'm going to begin my battery test - apparently my battery is saying it's fully charged at 96% so, my battery might be a bit old and losing charge.

I plan to update this through out the few hours until I reach the final levels of my battery, so stay tuned
Unless you are developing I do believe this is in the wrong section.

My standard battery says 96% as well in this ROM. I have the extended battery which separately says 100%. In 4EXT, they both say "Full"... so I'm not sure what the deal is with that.

Indeed. This thread belongs in thunderbolt general.
Mine says fully charged at 96% as well.
I tried battery calibration and it does better... but not fixed.

Unplug it from the charger for a minute and re-connect. Or, reboot it on or off the charger and see if it gets up to 100%.

When it's "stuck" at 96%, boot into recovery and see what battery level is indicated there. I'll bet it's different.... and not a 1% drop based on the time it took to get into recovery.

So... done. I realize that. The only reason I posted here at all was to advise the OP to post his threads in the correct subforum in the future.
Alright folks here were some other notes updated picture from this morning, also, I apologize for placing this in wrong thread section
No worries -- I use the "report post" function at sites all the time for this purpose and have never gotten any flack from mods or admins. Some look at that button as a "tattle-tail" button and won't use it .... or assume someone else will do it.
On mobile, yeah, that's often missing...
Alright something new caught my eye, I went into recovery and cleared battery stats and my Dalvik Cache, upon doing so, I received this message after booting up and the PlayStore trying to update my applications
And you think this is related to the battery or wiping the stats ? Nope.... Wiping the cache, maybe.

It would go IN the thread for the ROM if that were the case. Since it's not a ROM itself or a tool related to rooting, tweaking, etc, it's best suited in "Thunderbolt General".

Alright. Now back to the other question, why would wiping the Dalvik cache have an effect on the market? And what sort of damage would it do or have been done? Also what would happen if I wipes the regular cache?

No one said it had ANY effect. You're assuming the fact that you wipe dalvik-cache and then get this error that it MUST be related.
Is it still occurring ? Does it occur with ALL apps you try and download ?
Let me wipe dalvik-cache and immediately attempt to download something from the Market...
You're putting too much "value" in that partition. It's named "cache" because it's a storage area and a somewhat temporary one. People wipe that ALL the time (often needlessly) with no ill-effects. Every mod or kernel and many flashable apps will tell you to wipe it.

We all have noted that android system process in the battery stats is responsible to considerable wake locks and cpu usage ! well i have finally found a solution to this ! all u have to do is settings>privacy>uncheck back up my data ! and DONE android system should consume lesser battery it works u'll barely notice android system in the battery stats ! REMEMBER it wont show u effect if ur 50% on battery as the process would hav already taken up battery ! once fully recharged u'll notice the difference

If it is unchecked, which data wouldn't be backed up, which previously was getting backed?
ok guys dont fight. Back to topic.

thanks for clearing that up. if it's only backing up to google, then it would be considered "inactive" and not use any battery if you're not connected to the internet by either mobile data or wireless, right?

/INFO Rant BEGIN
Just install system tuner app and run it... There are various layers of tasks, process, threads going on in background at various levels which have their own hierarchies and distribution.... And for those who do not know all details about functioning of tasks & the OS's handling of memory, do some research on google... Coz already there is lot of controversy regarding various threads & processes.... There are 2 schools of thoughts for people in favor of task killing / manual memory management and there are OS developers and Cyanogen himself who say that task killers are unnecessary! So read about it people...
Aside from that for all those people who wish to have good battery life..
Make a nandroid backup of your current state... Then try selectively freezing few user & system apps in titanium backpack pro... If not sure of what to freeze... LEARN to google it!
INFO RANT END/
The suggestion by shriom is solid...
I HAVE PERSONALLY FELT DIFFERENCE in battery life after stopping this as well as saved money on my data by disabling market auto updates...
And try to follow what was written in my rant rather than blame shriom..

wow! i can't belive it. i've installed cm7.2, because ics and jb have so much battery drain! only 12-14 hours in idle and with wlan sometimes even less! i've tried several kernels but no real changing.
my wish are only 24 to 36 hours runtime (mail, some messages, weather and traffic)!
which rom do you use? which kernel and what settings?
Thats why i posted this. So Many comments about battery drain. As i said i am on jellytime from blindndumb. Kernel 3.0.42. Switching mobile data or wifi only on if i need to.
hmmm that's the problem. i absolutely need mobile data for whatsapp and mail!

maybe you can use Tasker to swich data on/wifi on every 15 minutes to get an update...
BTW. I always have data/wifi on. I think smartphone without data is like fish without water
a couple of sms, 3 calls and surfing with smartphone is quite shocking actually...huhu...i used whatsapp, gmail, wifi (downloading) navigating with google maps, gaming quite frequent...so 1.5 days of usage is really makes me happy....fallout 5.0 with amidabuddha latest kernel really impressive...

i've read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31686138&postcount=72
maybe the reason for the bad battery drain is the newest htc radio..... at home i'm going to test it and flash the kernel! i hope this will be the answer to everything..... i can't belive it!

I have just yesterday flashed Fallout evoliution v5 ROM abd with UV custom voltage -50 and CPU set 1200mhz max on Active and 500Mhz Max on sleep and i got 2% Drain of battery in 11,5hours. It got from 100% to 98% It was on standby aswell and i did 1- 2 mins call and did 2 or 3 Text messages. And when i started Some mid- heavy usage it drained to 65 % in 4,5 hours. So its not best but its not something you should fear, it is completely reasonable for every day usage.

There is APP called tasker, it can pretty much make your phone super smart. But it asks for a lot of setting up. You can make your phone for example every time your gps app is turned on to turn GPS receiver on and shut it down on closing the APP, or in your case Switch data ON when you turn browser or app store on and turn data off after you close that program or screen is off.
As i said it is very smart APP which makes your phone very smart aswell, and it can make multiple scenarios and it can look up for multiple variables at the same time to make a decision

Hi, the other day i installed the JellyBean leak. And since that day, the battery had a GREAT life.
But, today, i don't know why (Well, yes, i do now why) my battery had a terrible life.
And, there's a curious process that is killing it.
It's name is: 'Mediaserver'.

Done! Let's see if that helps.
Any contraindications?
don't know but you might need to un freeze drm for i believe some type of files needs the service to be playable
why fix it if it ain't broken ?

Forget about my question. My english is bad, and i can't express myself right
I want to stop that process, because is killing my battery and i don't want to.
So, i freezed the process, and today i'll see if that process still bother me.
Edit:
Well @nikufellow, your answer didn't work. I freezed the DRM content. But, still drain the battery.
But, the good part, is that i desactivated the sync, and now, i think the battery is going great.
It was that all the time (i believe). The sync of the accounts.
Edit 2:
Mmm, nope. I was wrong. The 'mediaserver' process is in the top again, with 43% usage.
Are you using Google Play Music? Maybe experiment with that. Maybe disable sync for just that, or remove the app and see if anything changes.

WOW.... does no one read or search on google anymore?
All you need to do to get the mediaserver app to stop "searching" your phone all the time and draining the battery, and using CPU, is to put a file in all your media folders on the phone that is empty and called .nomedia
Notice that there is a dot (period) before the filename, this is important.

I am not trying to be a jerk here, but with all the posts in here, and it appears that no-one even thought to google this, just irks me a little bit.
To the OP, create an empty file in all the directories on your SDcard named .nomedia, and see if that helps to stop the 'mediaserver' from eating CPU and battery. This has been an issue since the 1.8 days of android with certain file types and has only gotten worse over the years.

I already did all the pseudo-solutions that appears on google. And no one works. That's why i made this thread.
But, the solution that works for me, was, formatting the sdcard. That was the solution that i don't wanted to do.
You had the two solutions.
DRM freeze and tar instead of dup.

As a member stated it's the google play music (i believe). Cuz since I stopped using Google play music and switched to poweramp, i don't see it on ma battery consumption list!
Life!
I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

Why is it dropping so fast, thought this was supposed to be fixed! :crying:
I know my signal looks quite bad, but I have only been on my normal commute, and it isn't normally that bad... has the radio update made my signal worse?
You could just download Battery Monitor Widget and check the standby drain.
The fact is that the standby drain with the latest OTA is between 18-30 ma, which is higher than it should.
With the cm11 nightly releases from these week there is a 6-10ma drain in the same circumstances.
Of course double tap to wake + gestures enabled.
So the drain problem is still here.
The problem occur also with franco r14 kernel, which means there is something wrong with the system files, not the kernel.

You could just download Battery Monitor Widget and check the standby drain.
The fact is that the standby drain with the latest OTA is between 18-30 ma, which is higher than it should.

Change the monitor option to reverse mA.
Then enable monitoring, set it for 1 minute.
Leave the phone for 5 minutes and check the history file.
Clean install
TRY clean installing wipe everything and install it again ive been experiencing GREAT BATTERY LIFE. Its been on standby for like 2 hours and still at 100% on the 30o it would go down like 3-5% in the same amount of time
I'm using M9 with Franco r14.
These results show 5mA/h. I think these are good results in airplane mode.

It was a completely clean install anyway, so doing another one wouldn't make a difference would it?

I got 10 hours at 100%. With cm11 nightly. Wifi and mobile data off.
About the program, you need to press on the history until you got ma reading, not percent per hour.

I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

Why is it dropping so fast, thought this was supposed to be fixed! :crying:
I know my signal looks quite bad, but I have only been on my normal commute, and it isn't normally that bad... has the radio update made my signal worse?

See you sure it isn't Google Play Services hogging your battery? It shows up as Android OS in the battery stats sometimes. Try the fix in my signature.

I agree Google Play services does do that sometimes. I have solved this on my phone by simply clearing cache and then going into Google Play Services then click on Manage Space then scroll down to the bottom and Clear All Data and see how it goes from there
OP. You're not the only one that experienced the increased drain.
I opened yet another Jira bug report due to this drain.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
Here is my results. It's consistent as well.
The proximity sensor issue is fixed since I used a camera to double check. Will sleep on it tonight to see if the drain is poor again...
I dirty flashed the zip from android police.
BTW there is also a new radio how's everyone finding that?
The multi touch seems to be mostly fixed. I get issues when my fingers are too close together but it can detect 10 fingers without problems now... Before it had issues detecting 2-3...

I also observe 18-20mA battery usage on 33R vs 7-10mA on 25R.
So they fixed something, but not everything for sure on CM11S.

If you still get worse battery idle drain on 33R when compared to 25R, vote for the issue https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
What do you think about it?
AK kernel with intelliplug and smartmax governor
Steve Kondik got the new jira ticket with unfixed idle drain assigned to himself again. Hope he can shed some light on the topic again.

I certainly hope so.
Any ideas or tips on what to do to cut down these background activity times ? On the apps where it's available I have turned off background data and activity in settings but they still show as running in the background ?.....I have auto sync off for all of my accounts, auto updates off completely. Not sure if this is a Note20U specific problem or not but mine is a US unlocked model. I have factory reset the phone once already with the same results.
I have that same google play services drain. I would like some advice as well.

Following. I'm also having horrible background battery drain and can't find any way to stop it.
I have the same problem. I can't seem to fix it no matter what I have tried.

I got sick of waiting for a fix and returned the handset. The latest update is security only and I'm not holding on to an expensive item hoping it works properly at some point in the future.
What happened to pre release testing?

Did you transfer everything over through Smart Switch? My drain was horrible at first and I did a hail mary factory reset after reading some other forums online. That combined with putting apps to sleep has brought my drain down to about 1.2% for Google Play over 16 hours.
Clearing Google Play cache in your apps might help also, but factory reset was what did it for me.

I initially used Smart Switch then did a factory reset as a last resort to get better battery life and it still didn't help. I have put probably 80% of my apps in deep sleep mode and cleared cache on Google play and it doesn't matter. The highest I have ever gotten still to this day is 5 and 1/2 hours of screen on time.

The best thing I can say and I keep telling everyone this is to go into settings and then apps and then tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tap show system apps and seriously go through every single one (and yes I know it's like 300 something apps but still spend the time to do it) go into each app and tap battery and on the apps that will let you DISALLOW the background activity usage so it can't do that. Also make sure you force stop the app and clear just the cache not the data.

It's not Google Play Store, it's Google Play Services that is constantly running.

Try tapping uninstall and see if it'll roll back to an earlier version.

Had the same issues on my LG V60 with play services, I installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco and it settled down, this is mainly for when the phone is supposed to be in sleep mode. The app is a root app but with a couple of adb commands it will work on unrooted phones. It's one of the first apps I install with a new phone now. It will force your phone into a deep doze when not in use, it can also turn wifi, data and bluetooth off during doze.

Just found this thread after day 5 with my Note 20 Ultra and I'm getting bad battery drain from Google Play Service, I went to bed with my phone at 95% and woke up 8hrs later to see it on 55%....WTF!
Not sure if I should do a factory reset or not yet, but I transferred my data over using Samsung Smart Switch and read that causes issues.
