[Q] Android OS draining battery

Battery has been draining quickly, already at 30% with 10 hours with MINIMAL use.
Android OS is up there with 50% followed by display.

A restart would help. Are you OC or UV ? If you do not know what I mean the you probably not oc/uv. Sometime there are rouge apps that will cause this problem. Im on Dlev and my Android OS is at 6%

I do use SetCPU to oc 1600 max with 100 min on Conservative.
What are some uv settings that I could use?
Is there a good way to narrow down a rogue app?

You did delete Voltage Control right? A good way to narrow down battety hoggs is an app called Better Battery Stats. Here are my settings for Voltage Control

Delete VC? Are you talking about the app? I have it installed and I just copied your settings, hoping for the best.
Better battery stats on the android market brings up Juice Defender, is that what its called?

"BetterBatteryStats" is all one word. I was asking about Voltage Control,because I wanted to know if you had more than one app that sets the CPU.I dont know if it matters,but I would only keep the one you like best.

FYI, I'm on stock rogers (2.3.3) and I've had this exact same issue from day one. I haven't done any notable tinkering except for routing, but the problem existed before and after.
From what scraps of info I could find thru searching, I understood it to be a bug in 2.3.3, not around in froyo or anything later than 2.3.3.
So I suspect OC/UV settings may be a red herring. I was hoping a newer rom would fix it :-(

That is true about 2.3.3 having the "battery bug" but the Infuse version of Dlev is based on 2.3.4 and doesn't seem to have the same issue that I've seen.

BetterBatteryStats, or post the content of /proc/wakelocks
Edit: There's also starting to be evidence that certain behaviors on some wifi networks (such as possibly a badly behaving SSDP client) can inhibit deep sleep of Android devices.

i think I might have fixed my drain problem, Juicedefender along with those voltage tweaks... or is juicedefender really not a good app?
Also I am having data issues, there are times when I have a full 4 bars but no internet. I did the APN fix but I am a little confused with setting it to auto switching off. Should the circle be checked for the new APN that I created? Do I delete the other 2?

I didnt delete mine, I just selected the new apn(tick the circle beside new apn).Reboot(Might not be necessary).Then you should be all set.

Used to use JD but found extremely excessive partial wakeocks. Might be ok if you use your phone enough to never let it get to deep sleep but in 12 hours off batt JD had almost 1000 wakes and over 2 hours of time listed by itself.

[Q] battery life and deep sleep

Recently I've noticed a lot of battery use when the phone is supposed to be asleep. (Rom -- old Vahalla Final). Battery life used to be okay. I ran cpu spy and better battery stats and found out the phone was not going into deep sleep mode at all. Where do I go from here?

what is bbs telling you is keeping the phone awake in terms of programs

Check wakelocks... both partial and kernel. Then look at alarms and network stats...

seems to me that deep sleep is working just fine on my sgs4g.

always gotta spoil someone's fun, don't you?
anyway, let me just say this, screen was off the whole time. the thing that surprises me is i know for a fact that the last time i charged it was more than the time indicated (feb 28th to be exact cause that's when I posted in the proton thread) and i had to turn the phone on to get the screen shot and it was still at 1% before i plugged it in.

under "kernel wakelocks" it says "ste-gps-interface" 93.6 % but I almost never use gps.
then "vbus_present" 19.9%
"synet"3.2%
"powermanagerservice" 1.8 %
"radio-interface" 1.5%
"max8998-charger"0.1%
and the rest are 0%.
so what is "ste-gps-interface"? There are some threads on it. The only time I switch on gps is for this speedometer-radar detector app that I haven't used in months.
partial wakelocks are negligible.
Under alarms I am getting 61 wakeups for Yahoo mail which makes sense as I'm on too many email lists. I've now frozen the Ymail application since I don't want email notifications on my phone anyway. the next highest is 21 wakeups for maps and I don't know why that is.

Sounds like your ROM/kernel's GPS handler is screwed up.
My suggestion would be another flash of your ROM without a wipe, reboot to system, unlock phone and accept any SU request popups, wait 10 minutes, and then if you had a custom kernel reboot to recovery, flash your kernel, reboot to system, wait another 10 minutes... and check Better Battery Stats to see if GPS is still going nuts. If so, you'll probably need to wipe system and just follow those steps again.

I reflashed the rom using CWM after wiping everything but I am still getting the ste-gps-interface wakelock. I'm wondering if reinstalling the system and bootloaders with Odin will do anything. I tried a different modem with no results.

Unchecked everything in settings / location services and see if that makes a difference.

Do you have GPS turned on or off when your getting that wakelock? If it's off turn it on and leave it on.

Maps and GPS rings a bell. Something about maps reporting your location periodically comes out of the dusty portions of my memory. Might want to do an XDA and a Web search on that.
Yep...

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Believe that I saw something about Maps still running even when it's frozen, so you actually have to uninstall it.

Ive tried two ics roms and installed proton v2 and it is not deep sleeping. So i always end up reverting to hefe. Can anyone tell me why or confirm this ?

1.5hr SOT - I must be doing something..

Hey there,
So I've had my Nexus 5 for quite some time now and tried a few different ROMs and Kernel combinations. I care a LOT about battery life but this device has never really kept up to what others are saying it's capable of.
ROM: OmniROM latest nightly
Kernel: Faux123 Kernel v013
I'm currently getting around 1.5 hours of screen on time of use with no 'battery saving' apps, no greenify, location reporting on. The only setting I've changed is make GPS set to battery saving. Is this normal? Android OS takes up 30% of the battery stats. I have also attempted a full factory reset and built it from scratch (not restoring any backups) with no change.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

use better battery stats and give us that info.

1) Set screen brightness manually.
2) Turn location reporting to high accuracy or device only, or even off.
3) Don't agree to Google location reporting.
4) Turn off Wifi background scanning (Settings, Wifi, Menu->Advanced, Scanning always Available unchecked)
5) I find Wi-Fi optimization off may or may not help.
6) Make sure you get good signal strength. If you need to, downgrade to 3g (EVDO, not HSPA) if Sprint from LTE if the signal is better, or even 2g (edge, not 1x) if T-Mobile.
7) Disable unnecessary syncing for your accounts (Google Play ...).

you bought the wrong phone if you care allot about battery life.
Though what your getting is abnormal, im easily able to get 4 hours screen on time with heavy use

First - disable location reporting (leave location on. I do)
Download this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
And make Google play services look like this -

Your battery drain is certainly anomalous. I leave everything on all the time and average 22 hrs up with 5 hrs SOT. As @Zepius said, you need BBS logs to be able to troubleshoot.

Using that disabling app and using common sense you can also scrap off the location calling of other apps that really don't need it -
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the help guys but I haven't had much better luck, I didn't get a screenshot but today it lasted 9 hours with 1 hour screen on time.. there's definitely something wrong and even after a factory reset it's still not improving.
After running BBS today I got two that showed up as potential culprits.
bam_dmux_wakelock and wlan_rx_wake. Neither of these are linked to a specific app though.
Maybe time to call Google? I went through 4 Nexus 4 devices because of various issues.. maybe I need a second Nexus 5.

why dont you try just stock and see if its different?

Certain routers or network settings can destroy batteries on wifi also. Kinda sounds like that's what your wakelocks could be from.
But yeah....before talking exchange or repair....you really need to reflash a clean stock version.....no installed apps and see how it is. If its an app or a router/network issue, the next phone will be the same.

Battery Drain on XNPH33R

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!

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.

Then enable monitoring, set it for 1 minute.
Leave the phone for 5 minutes and check the history file.

About the program, you need to press on the history until you got ma reading, not percent per hour.

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.
Transmitted via Bacon

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.

Horrible Battery Life 2h SOT - Need Kernel or other tweaks advice

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..

There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.

You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.

You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help

Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.

Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.

Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)

I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...

Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!
