I have no idea where to even look anymore. I've tried MULTIPLE roms and kernels (with different settings) and have had no better results. These latest screenshots are with the phone on my nightstand with DS battery saver set to Aggressive (wake up every 2 hours for 1 m). The battery was fully charged when I went to sleep and I had 20% drain OVERNIGHT with 0 usage. I'm starting to get really frustrated and don't even know what to attempt anymore.
Please help!

Media is kinda high though. It could be your phone constantly trying to read a bad media file.
That would explain why it carries over through multiple roms since you probably keep transferring it over.
Could you post the "processes" tab results from better battery stats as well?

I've unfortunately since rebooted my phone so the stats are gone aside from those. Is there anyway to check over my files short of just erasing everything and starting from scratch?
The easiest way to move them to a computer and see if they display thumbnails/run properly. Corrupted files will be immovable or won't run properly.
If you have a lot of media it may be faster just to format /data (including internal sd), and reflash and reload your media from an external source (like a pc).
You'll want to make sure that it's "media"is what's eating the battery. We're those screens from when you were sleeping? Because it says an hour of awake time which is weird if you didn't touch the phone. You don't seem to have any unusual app wakelocks though.

Yep I was sleeping. Didn't touch the phone till I woke up and saw it drained 20% in 8 hours.

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..

I have no intention of using the phone as a media server. Anyone know how I can prevent this from draining my battery?
You can try settings>apps and stopping dlna and media server services. but not sure if they won't just restart later.

Couldn't find this DLNA service you're referring to under Settings>Apps>Running Services. This issue doesn't seem to always exist either. But it did just pop up and this time taking a huge % of my battery use.
Media server cannot be removed. It is a part of the android central process. WTF is that thing called, i keep botching the order of it but something like android.process.acore
It isn't used to be a mediaserver. In fact part of it controls at least one of the sensors on the phone... maybe the orientation sensing. but at 3 percent, you are doing very good. When people mess it up in custom kernels and whatnot it can freak the hell out and pull like 40 lol.
Anyways, don't worry about it, nothing you can do and 3 percent is awesome.

3% was over a short period of time. I seen it take up much more as shown in the later pic. But if it can't be removed then I guess I'll just have to reboot the phone when it's draining the battery.
It is likely part of services.jar or framework.jar and trying to remove the service would likely be a huge undertaking as it controls anything media related, and some sound events are included in that.
compared to the cellular service.

99% after ten hours. Went out of the country and didn't have to charge once. You want to save juice? Just put the phone in airplane mode.
i dont really believe the androids built in battery measure.
Maybe a number on how much time the screen was powered on, for reference?
Reboot the phone and watch it drop to 50%

That's why I never restart the phone unless I'm near an charger.

lol...but actually that doesn't matter...it doesnt drain a lot rebooting...it just refreshes the battery stats to show the real value. his phone is saying it's at 99%, but I can assure you it's much much lower than that
Probably was lower than 99%, but it did last a good four days without needing to be charged (in airplane mode the whole time).

99% after 9 hours of battery use, yep i have to agree with you scotsman, it is much lower than that
WiFi can certainly be a hog, as can be GSM signal - especially if it's a weak signal. Display will drain if you keep the display on a LOT(!) - but otherwise that's why you see a lot of folks recommend to turn off WiFi or BT if you're not using 'em.
Wow what a great idea put the PHONE in airplane mode Hello? its a phone people were using them to call and/or text each other.
Want to save gas? Dont drive , just sit in your car and listen to music
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. No matter if it sucks battery I would prefer to use my phone and keep a charger with me every time. But one should enjoy the features to the full.
I'm experiencing some weird battery issues on my Samsung B5330 (Galaxy Chat). Since there is no GC forum and it's probably a software issue I'll wirte here.
The phone is full stock, no root nor any modifications were made, 4.1.2.
At the beginning of my adventure with this phone I experienced a problem with Media process eating the battery. That was probably caused by one of videos, faulty mp3 file or Gallery system application. Once or twice a day 46% of battery was eaten as shown in battery stats. However from time to time the phone just died and battery stats had just a blank space from the last reading The phone got hot because of CPU usage. As it also happened at night and affected an alarm clock and had to be dealt with.
I turned off Gallery, Media and Media history services (in App properities) and replaced them with independent applications. First problem was solved and the second one become clearly visible.
It looks like this:

There is nothing indicating extensive battery use:
The battery reading goes from 80% to 0% in 80 seconds and the phone dies. Nothing overheats, nothing hangs. After 1 - 2 days if 60% is shown and I restart it, it goes to 0% instantly.
It's either faulty battery or software bug :/
Any ideas what can I do with it apart from buying a new battery?
battery problem
This looks like a hardware problem (with the battery), my apenion is that it coudn't be a problem with some faulthy mp3, music or video player or so, it could be a problem with your background working apps / make sure you clear all of them and make sure you turn off all wify, 3g, edge and so in your phone settings, and see how much time it works then.
The com.android.media process as a source of the first problem is confirmed, as it is widely described on the net and it was noted in battery stats.
The problem is what is shown on the photo. I'll just buy a new battery since it's not expansive. I thought it may be a software problem as it looked like the indicator was not properly calibrated or refreshed.
The longest the phone was alive after solving the Media problem was over 3 days with everything on. It went down to 20% and then died.
This also suggests the battery...
OK, problem solved. Good ole' wipe did the trick.
The problem was purely of software origin as voltage of charged battery was marked as 100% but voltage of an empty battery was marked as 50%. So it reached 50% and died. After the wipe it goes down normally to 0%.
I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on
