Random Reboots and battery drops

What's the best way to diagnose something like this? It happens randomly and I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm stock rooted.

Your wakelocks or horrible. You need BBS as stated, but the instant drop is indicative of a bug in the stock rom or kernel. If it keeps doing that after the wakelock issues are resolved, you may need to flash another rom.

Does this pretty much mean Google search is messing me up?

I think Google search incorporates Google Now which yes, mega battery drain in my opinion especially if it is polling for location constantly.
edit: that looks like my battery stats when I don't try to conserve energy and have heavy usage.

So how do I fix this? Turn off location would somewhat render Google Now to be useless, as does turning it off.

If you're getting reboots, grab /proc/last_kmsg the next time it's on. The last few lines should give you some hints as to why it rebooted.

Kk thanks a lot guys, I think the battery issue overall might have been Google search so now I'm going to try to fix it. If my phone reboots again I'll check the file to see the logs.

Excessive battery drain from Google play services

I am running stock 4.4.2 rooted with xposed installed. The title pretty much explains it as well as the picture. I have a lot of apps greenified and have location set to battery saving and have rebooted several times but still get terrible battery drain from Google services

first off, it being your first post, ill be nice. questions/help/troubleshooting does not go in general, it goes in the q&a/help/troubleshooting section. secondly, you should have searched xda before posting another thread, as we already have many threads about this. here is one that we have been using mainly, for this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/normal-google-play-services-to-drain-20-t2519831

Sorry man just trying to solve this issue asap. You people should try not to be so stuck up to the newbies. I see it everywhere on this site

Sorry won't happen again! I went to the thread you directed me to and disabled all the location ones in Google play services using "disable services" and it didn't work for me. Thanks for your help! I'll send a few thanks your way for the misunderstanding

if you disabled those that are shown in a screenshot, did you reboot first? if not, try again. then let the phone sit there for like 10 minutes, then check.
btw, i do agree with you about some of the meanness that goes on in xda. im not like that, i enjoy helping people too much. and the nexus 5 forums here also, it isnt as bad like the rest of xda. there are many here like me, that actually keep an eye on the forums, to make sure that meanness doesnt go on

Disable them all. Reboot. Then charge the phone fully so battery stats reset

I would like my phone to function like it should yes lol. I tried to reboot after disabling the ones with location and rebooted and waiting 10 minutes but Google play services time awake is still rising and has been awake for pretty much the whole batter cycle. Could greenify be causing such issues?

thanks. yea, you definitely have something preventing your phone from syncing. check your google sync in main phone settings, check if any of the stuff that you normally sync isnt stuck syncing(either continuous spinning or stopped spinning). alsi, would you post the battery stats page with your apps % battery use.

I checked and it is not stuck syncing :/

[Q] Too much battery drain from xposed..

So I got the closed framework and downloaded gravity box, knock code, and app ops. While the phone was fully charged and on standby it turned from 100 to 75% in a couple hours on standby. And while using thenphone there was too much battery drain. Does anyone know from which this happens (I think GB) but please share.
PS. Before applying I would get 20h+ of battery on low to medium usage.

Doesn't knock code need the digitiser to be powered up even when the screen is off?
Try disabling each module one by one until they are all disabled to see what happens.
Please do not post questions in general. Post them in Q&A. You put a [Q] in your thread title so you should know where this thread belongs

The Knock Code drains your battery. It requires the digitizer to be constantly on, thus the drain.

The knock code module just replaces the pattern lock. It doesn't keep the digitizer on like the LG G3. Doesn't work when the screen is off.

Battery drain rates are very dependent on usage patterns and sometimes the most insignificant settings changes can lead to well hidden sources of current consumption.
So my advise is to try to remember if you made any changes in your applications or usage patterns right before or after starting to use Xposed, as your answer my lie there.
Also try to identify if the high drain occurs from Xposed itself or one of the modules, by deactivating and/or uninstalling modules and Xposed. Please be very careful that usage patterns might easily tip your conclusions off.
To somehow prove what I'm saying here, I've noticed that on a high usage day, my N5 can last as low as only 8-10 hours on a charge, while on a low usage day, after 12 hours since unplugging, it still has at least 80% of the original charge.
Have a nice day!

I guess it is on the LG G3, but on that device it can also be used when the screen is on, as a lock screen method, which is what the module emulates.

Ok. Well as suggested turn 1 off , run for as long as possible. Turn another off and run as long as possible. Etc

Its fine that its only while the screen is on and its pretty cool actually.
I think I found the problem and that's its from xposed itself....after I uninstalled the framework I THINK that there is less drain...
Can everyone share their version of xpised and what modules they're running and how is the battery usage...?
Thanks

No additional drain. Latest version available via the xposed installer app.

battery life is horrible, what can I do? (stats included)

I have 2 hours of SOT! Why? I use a a stock 5.0.1, rooted with latest ElementalX. Greenified all apps except of the ones I need notifications from, gps is off, auto brightness and I can't get a decent battery life? Why?

I know people like GSam, but could we get a BBS log please?

I dont have that, but I will install it now. For now, please help me with what I have

I can't do much with what you have. That's why I requested you provide a BBS log.
I can tell you that you need to go into Developer Options and disable NuPlayer (and reboot). That's (one of) the culprits of crazy battery drain in 5.0. I don't use ElementalX, so I can't say if it's default settings are contributing to your problems or not. You may want to roll with stock until this issue is fixed?

I recommend for now turning off NFC and turning location off or setting to GPS only. Working pretty good on CM12.

[Q] Help! Battery drain, can't figure it out. Screenshot enclosed.

Hey all,
I'm sure it's been asked to death about battery but I'm going to ask again. I just can't figure it out. I've done all the "tips and tricks" and still keep getting the battery drain. I'm only getting about 7 hours on battery, most of which I'm not even using it. As you'll see in the screenshot "Android System" uses the most, and I just don't know why or what in there is draining it. Any help would be appreciated, and I can give any more information or screenshot needed.
Thanks,
Dan

I haven't rooted anything since my droid 3, haha. So it's been a little while. I guess I'll just have to give it abother shot and see how it goes. Recommended ROMS for the S6?

Root, then use Titanium Backup to freeze all unnecessary apps, then use Greenify and/or Servicely to restrict all non-system apps & services.
