Hi guys,
For a while now I've been trying to find out why Gallery (3D) is using so much of my battery. I've disabled all syncing related to media, and it hasn't stopped.
Also, Android OS is draining the battery too. On typical days I have 25% from screen 25% gallery and 25% from the OS.
I'm on stock verizon jellybean, rooted and unlocked. I have the stock kernel and am not overclocked.
Is this a bug?

BBS is installed and used. One power guard also. I know which app it is. It's the gallery.
Try disabling it?

Hi, I'm brand new to this site. I'm looking for help fixing my galaxy s 3 battery life. It is running android 4.3. The GPS problem that others have experienced I am not experiencing. I'm not rooted. Everything is stock. I have a few apps disabled such as Google plus etc. I'm just looking to find a cause and hopefully a fix to my problem. I'm losing 1 to 3 percent an hour while idle. While in use I could drop 6 to 10 percent an hour. I am a moderate user. I mostly use facebook, music apps and web browsing. I also have sync turned off for facebook and Google.

Download wakelock detector from the market and run it. Also go into settings -> account and tab on location, make sure location reporting is turn off.
Ok I turned location services off. Here is a screenshot of wakelock what am I looking for? I also uninstalled the facebook app because I read that's a battery killer

Not really, just download the wakelock detector and run it,
And it will fix my problems?

I'm stock, because. I don't know how to root, and the 4.3 is a massive disappoint to me - the battery drain is extraordinarily high. 3 hours of light use drained 50% juice.
On the VZ forums, people are livid.

My bro experiencing lag on his fone after 4.3 update he also dislike clock widget on lockscreen.
He was experiencing crappy battery but after he install wakelock and deleted apps his daughter download his battery improve a bit.

Heavy drains are from Google service stuff. Go into settings -> account-> location. tab on location and make sure "location report" turn off. If you have multiple account make sure you turn them all off. Then install wakelock detector from the market and see what else is draining your battery. Verizon stock is not bad on battery,

hello,
yesterday i installed the official 4.4.2 rom from poland on my belgium/luxemburg note 3. i performed a factory reset to be sure.
today my battery was hell. just a half an hour ago my battery drained from 15% to 1% in 15 min with just sitting in my pocket turned off and warm.
i checked my battery stats and my exchange is using a lot of it.
are there other who have the same problem and maybe have a solution?

Hi
1- Install wakelockdetector and see which program has high battery usage ...
2- stop exchange service and disable it

I've got exchange services running, but it doesnt appear in my battery stats. It seems quite high, maybe your email is syncing a lot. Try changing the sync schedule to either manual or push.

Hi i have a nexus 5 rooted on the stock rom and when i install the xposed frame work i have significant idle drain even when i have no moduels enabled. if any one knows what could be causing this please let me know thanks.
What do the battery stats show?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
its the same as when i dont have it enabled. only with alot more battery drain not really much out of the ordianary in the battery stats
Well I would remove the framework and see if it goes back to normal. It might be a coincidence, you could have a bad signal or something. The framework doesn't change my battery life at all

How many times have you tried it? I would download GSam or BBS. These are battery stat apps that can help detect where the drain is coming from.
ive tried it a few times now with same result
Gsam and screen shots. Will be much easier to help you.
What Xposed modules do you use?
I can't see how framework would drain battery on it's own.

Hey all
I had a wake lock trigger that was draining my battery so I decided to try and find what was causing it. I turned off all background sync and disabled GPS. I charged my phone to full and then let it drain over night. As you can see in screen shots... Massive drain occurred with no visual signs of the cause. Anyone have an idea?

Did you get any shots of the Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks screens in bbs? That's where you would see the culprit(s). Also, do you ever do soft reboots? Some people (including myself) have experienced increased battery drain with no visible wakelocks after soft rebooting. Doing a full reboot seems to fix it.

It's definitely something using Wi-Fi. Need more in depth analysis

I checked those but there was nothing abnormal. I'd done a reboot when I flashed the kernel back to stock pa.

I've disabled wifi and it drained to dead. Going to recharge to full and see what it does off wi-fi. What could I do to see why/if wi-fi is killing it?
You can see it is draining it in your screen shots. Maybe you didn't fully disable the background Wi-Fi usage. "scanning always enabled" for example

Doesn't look like its disabled correctly. Your screenshot shows nearly 8 hours Wi-Fi.
Maybe there is a bug in your settings data.
Not sure if you're rooted or not but maybe a backup / wipe is the best course of action

You could try booting the phone into safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app, though unnecessary if you plan on trying a full reset anyways.

while at first it looks high, in reality it isnt(yet). in your screenshot you have only lost 5% battery so far with light use. at this point you really cant tell what your battery will be like with use.

ahh, thats a little better, but itll drop a little more with use. while 20 is a little high, id still classify as normal. really anything up to 20% is normal. typically, after a full cycle, i see android os between 9-15%. but it would all depend on exactly how you use your phone.

Install system monitor from play store and check CPU freq and number of CPU's online while screen on.

As said above....use the phone normally and check when its almost drained. It will surely be much lower.
If location is on...it will probably be higher than 10% I'd guess. If so....completely normal.
So I'm running linaro Mahdi with linaro uber kernel and I left it unplugged over night. It went from 92% battery to 16% in the morning. Android system ui took 47% according the battery setting. Any ideas what's draining the battery?

Oh I thought that process was specific to something. I used wakelock detector and it says that Google now woke it up 6000x so I'm guessing that's where the drain is from?

it very well could be. if its a "stuck" process, the best thing to do is to just reboot, as a reboot usually fixes them.

Android System UI is exactly that, the user interface. It normally hovers around 2% or less on a stock machine but custom UI elements or perhaps even widgets could drive it further up.
What custom UI elements and widgets are you using?

One of those is most likely the cause. If the issue continues, you might want to remove them 1 by 1 until it goes away. Alternatively you can remove them all and add them back 1 by 1 until the issue reappears.

I was reading more about that process and one person said the high drain is due to having pocket mode turned on for the lock screen notifications. So im trying out using peak to see if that lowers my drain
