[Q] [HELP] Draining battery

Hello,
I need some help with my evo...i have it running on the fresh 3.5 ROM and netarchy-toasts kernel, latest version and all. I am overclocking as well, but nothing to drastic. Until recently, the battery life on my phone went into the ***** literally. Before it went 24 hours plus with medium to heavy usage. Now i can leave the screen on and literally (no exaggeration) watch the battery drain sliver by sliver. I just did a complete data wipe and reflashed the rom and kernel both in hopes of resolving the issue, but its still draining. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need this fixed but cant figure it out on my own :/
edit: the only time this happens is when the screen is on, when the screen is off it STILL DOES drain more than usual, but nothing compared to what happens when its unlocked. My though is that an app is running in the background eating up my batter life, but i have no clue what it is or how to locate it.

This is what the battery usage is looking like. Always Android system up at the top

Disable your mobile connection when not using it turn auto brightness off off auto sync but the main factor is.the mobile connection turn that off when not using and u we get better battery results
What's gd for these kind of things is juice defender

I forgot to mention that i have juicedefender installed already, and set cpu with profiles as well. one of the profiles is for when the screen is off, set for 300/300 (not accurate, but is set around that)

If its going as fast as you say (literally draining in an hour or so) I would say check your batter, try a new one. Otherwise you already have juice defender (which I tried and it really didn't do much else) so everything should be covered. Try wiping Dalvik cache, also try wiping batter stats (both are in clockwork recovery under the "advanced" tab.
Good luck and sorry if this doesn't help

Hey,
Download Juice Defender and AutoKiller fro the market and watch the Magic. me and you have the same phone and same rom. Note: delete any tsk Managers ou have because they will interfere with juice defender..

Please provide more info along with screenshots of your battery stats from the Settings menu. For example, (a)how many hours does your battery last, (b)how many hours of screen time do you get, (c)are you in a fringe area for 4G...etc. You could also install the app "Better Battery Stats" from the Play store to identify which app/service has gone rogue.
Better Battery Stats
Edit: I didn't see your screenshot when I first checked this post.

Last 4 or 5 hours light use less then half from when i bought it

same media/sd card battery drain
Same for me. It is happening on both Synergy and Beans ROM. I had been running d2hacker's CM10 but I needed something more stable as my daily driver. I used both if these ROMs when I first got my phone and didn't have this problem. I'll try taking my phone back down to stock via Odin and see if that does anything. If there is a solution out there I would really appreciate any assistance.

well first things first apps never conserve battery other than draining.. and yeah it uses internet cuz it transfer the log with its database or report center as they call it. My advice is to you is to remove battery doc and install greenify it doesnt use battery power much as well as ram and it help to disable unwanted back running apps which drains ur battery
Good luck
hit thnks if this helped..

Battery Drain Help?

I am on SlimKat 5.0 with latest stable Trinity Kernel. Will link a kind person that offered to help me. Any suggestions on how to fix this drain would be great though! I'm not sure how to read BBS screens.

Crap...it just occurred to me that I think I plugged in for a few minutes when I got home. Before taking these...
Not exactly a valid sample. I'll come back tomorrow.

looks like google play services is getting you, its the nlpcollectotwakelock and nlpwakelock. try using the disable service app to stop those wakelocks coming from google play services.

Yep the screen shots aren't showing anything out of the ordinary, the gms wake aka goole play services is at 6m for 2h30m, if you're using Google now then it's normal.
Post new screen shots after a whole day of use and will take it from there.

Okay, so I believe I have this figured out.
I recently switched ROMs and I know some of the newest gapps have been draining battery badly. Also, I think those updates in combination with using "battery saving" location while at work was draining the battery more than I am accustomed to.
I work next to an airport and the radar messes with signal I believe.

How to get the best Battery life?

Hey I'm currently running CM11 and I want to be able to maximize my battery life but still have customization. I'm looking for any option weather it be flash another ROM or what.

Battery life depends on the users configuration. Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785128

Flashing custom kernels (Franco for me) has yielded some improvement (but as it always is with this kind of things, YMMV), disable Google Now, turn location to "battery saving" or "GPS only", disable wifi always on scanning, you know, the usual. The thread above should help you quite a bit. Also, this is what I do...

If you Greenify apps that don't need to be Greenified (ones that don't wakelock) and you use them often it'll use up more battery than save.

I Have figured how why my battery life was being so weird and I have fixed it. I had an app called Lux and for some reason it was killing my battery.

Never thought of that - guess there'd be diminishing returns at some point. I do want to keep FB Messenger greenified though...that app sucks up battery like there is no tomorrow. I'll try degreenifying WhatsApp and a few other apps and see how it goes.

I use Velis Auto Brightness instead - I use these apps because honestly, the stock Nexus 5 auto-brightness is overkill. In a dark room, the screen is like a second sun!
Though if you have GravityBox, you could apparently tweak the auto brightness values...I haven't given it a try though.
