Screen draining battery - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

For some reason today, my battery is being drained by my screen. I turned the brightness down a few hours ago, but it still drank the juice like koolaid. I've never had to adjust screen brightness on this phone before, just left it on automatic. Seems kinda odd.
The only changes have been deodex framework/system and extended power menu.

If you just deodexed the drain is probably from the cache being rebuilt. I'm not sure if that shows in the battery screen as what can be draining it. Or if the system logs it as the screen draining the battery since no apps are running

This... plus, the screen is always going to be the worst suckor of your battery. At least it is for me!

That's just what colorboost is about. That's why Moto switched back to Super Amoled in the latest lineup phones.

That to me looks most likely some setting and ROM issue. Make a backup flash another ROM try how it goes but am pretty sure Any other ROM shouldn't drain this much. Don't want to judge any ROM or anything just trying to help.
What battery model is it? Some of the extended batteries going around are just regular cells in a fat case with shims, especially the cheaper ones.

Phone never deepsleeps

My phone never deep sleeps its on stock recovery/stock rom/stock everything

I have no idea what app is doing it!
Go download better batterystats from play store or there's a free version here on xda. Open it to show partial\kernel wakelocks. That's will tell you everything.

I had that cacheupdate wakelock on my S3 running 4.4 Cm11 but a reboot fixed it. That's strange you have no kernel wake locks. Everybody has some. Are you using the latest beta of BBS?
Edit: going to bed. I hope someone picks this up where I left off. If not I'll be here in 8 hours

I had the same thing happen yesterday, casheupdateservice had a continuous wake lock for almost 6 hours. Reboot seems to have fixed it for now. It didn't seem to effect battery life too much, but still shouldn't be holding a wake lock for that long.

[Q] Why is android system using a lot of battery?

So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.

Another battery issue

I'm on Purity ROM 5.02, Code Blue, Banks minimal. My n5 use to sleep 99% of the time, now it won't deep sleep at all. Can anyone tell from this what's keeping things on? It drained 25% last night in airplane with wifi off, which is normally 1-2%. No new apps other than layers.

It's probably the system update service wakelock. Pretty much all ROMs are having the issue with the new play services.

Finally got my note 5 for a few days!

I finally have had my note 5 for a few days and so far it's really good! There is something that is really bugging me though and that is the standby time of this phone is horrible! And I'm sure it's not hardware related because:

}
This is definitely not normal, and it has always been like this from day 1. Idk why, but system and cell standby along with android OS are all using more battery than the screen. There is no doubt that the screen should be the greatest power draw by far on this phone, so that means there is something wrong here...draining my battery during sleep!
Anyone have any ideas as to what's happening?

Turn off VOLTE and WiFi calling.
What theme is that?
I tried doing that, and left my phone overnight at 95%. I woke up today and found it drained to 88%, Cell Standby and Android system being the top two equal drainers.

search for the thread about debloating the note 5 using package disabler. totally fixed the battery problem on my note.
This is what package disabler did for me. I'm more than happy, and is not even an aggressive setup. And Is not that I lost key features eother. The app has done wonders with my battery life.
