Looking at BBS, there are no associated PWLs or KWLs. Its just there killing my battery.

I use Greenify to block applications that consume too much battery

Right, but this seems a bit out of place. This one app just dominating my battery?

terribly written apps are still terribly written apps, even if they are functional for you.
anyways, you might have a file stuck uploading.. try killing the app or just reboot.

That's very odd. I'm on Instagram pretty much all day and do not see that kind of drain.
Maybe clear cache in apps, delete it and reinstall?
You seem to be having an isolated issue there.

Try what happens if you turn off your notifications. If that does not work, just hibernate it using Greenify. Greenify almost does not use battery att al.

The only solution so far was uninstall INSTAGRAM, after that my phone is working perfectly.
Now I'm using Instagram by web browser only (untill new Instagram apk is released)

You can also swipe away after using it. Much of battery drain happens in the background.

Yup, that's what I do after every session of instragram. I had the battery drain issue before and after swiping away it doesn't happen.

Been experiencing this since last week. Never had the problem before then.

I've been having absolutely insane drain as well––nearly 50% of the battery. I went from stock to Elementalx, now on Bricked w/ Greenify and I can't get around this outside of swiping it away and then Greenifying the app every single time. This happened randomly after a new app update about a week ago for me. Any help appreciated.

I've had this happen one time, after which I greenified it and it hasn't occurred since.

Why is my battery dying so fast?

It seems like my battery is draining very quickly. Android is the highest on my battery list. I don't have anything weird installed or syncing and my screen is set to 50% brightness. Any ideas?

If you have root access you can install Better Battery Stats (Free here: http://goo.gl/EjdB8) and choose partial wakelocks since unplugged. That will tell you what's keeping your phone from deep sleep.
Nothing is standing out in partial wake locks. Every bar is pretty much empty. And that app isn't free anymore according to that post.

Maybe it's not bad. I'm not one to complain about the battery life, but it just seemed like it was tanking fast. Like percentage points per minute.

Op, are you rooted? I noticed my battery goes a little quicker since I rooted and flashed cm10. I also noticed you are on 3g, did you disable 4g, is 4G available in your area? Maybe the phone constantly searching for 4G is draining. Not sure how that would show up in battery usage stats though.

Yes I am rooted. I noticed the battery draining faster after I flashed Google Wallet. I am stock rooted though. I turn off NFC when I don't need it, and the app doesn't sync often.
I'm not in a 4G area, but that has never drained my battery before. I can't imagine Wallet would be draining my battery..
I should also note that my brightness is set to full at all times. What's of interest to me is the fact that it isn't draining so much when the screen is on, it's when the screen is off is when it drains the most it seems. I'll leave the phone off for at least 20 minutes and when I turn it back on it'll have lost a few points.
Can't seem to figure it out. Like I said, it seems like I started noticing the battery draining quicker after I installed Google Wallet.

Here's an update from better battery stats
For some reason I can't figure out how to stop the top app. I've disabled all I could think of with maps. The only other change I've made is installing Google Now, but this started before that.

If YOU are noticing degraded battery life after kitkat update, post here!

Are you noticing worse battery life after doing the kitkat update? I am, and I want to know if you are too.
Post in here, take the poll, and lets figure out how to track down what is going on.
Requirements: Try to post a screenshot of your battery stats, wakelocks (if possible) and how many hours you were getting before on a charge.
Here's my input:

I will get some screens soon and try to track it down but I have been noticing that on days I use my Bluetooth after I turn it off. See a drastic.decrease in battery and my phone gets hot. I was have seen others say there was a Bluetooth wakelock as well and it's very random when it happens

I'm down from 1.5 day to hardly 10 hours on a single charge
That's basically what I'm seeing, maybe 12 hours if I'm lucky. Granted I am using my phone a lot lately since I just got it but still... My s2 t989 with same usage was lasting far longer.

My two main reasons for me rooting are ad blocking and greenify. I just learned that greenify added support for non-root users. I have greenified every app I don't use on a regular basis and am noticing significant difference in battery. The only thing is that after you use a greenified app you have to re-greenify manually.
Greenify and tasker work great, I had tasker auto hibernate all greenified apps upon screen on. Its basically the closest you can get to automation without rooting.
Greenify has saved my battery issues.

More often than not, a factory reset will take care of battery issues after a major OS upgrade. I'm not sure if it's left-over system files or something about the "upgrading" of existing apps during the process, but I've had to do it with both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 2012. Not every upgrade, mind you, but with one or two.
I do notice my system battery monitor jumping around all crazy, this is after a factory reset.

My wife's battery life has become so bad since the update, that I'm on this site trying to figure out how to downgrade her phone right now. (My N5/CM11 sometimes lasts longer than her G2 now)
Curious how everyone is now doing on the 20e update?
Sent from my LG-D801
Bout the same for me. Only thing I notice is that before my wifi was always running in background according to bbs, no matter what I did to change settings. Not anymore after update.
First cycle on the update I lost 35% or so in a couple hours with little use. I checked battery use and Instagram was the primary hog. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app and getting awesome battery life comparable or better than before the update. Not sure why instagram went crazy but works fine now
Sent from my Touchpad using XDA Free mobile app
The update fixed a serious wakelock issue caused by wifi calling for me. A lot of wakelocks seem to have disappeared with the update for me.
Nothing leaps and bounds, but notice a bit of an improvement for sure.

Using GSAM Battery Monitor for my average screen-on time, I get right about 5 hours. I also do lots of texting and messaging so I am fairly pleased with this time.

Got mine on Saturday. Just opened it last night, fully charged and unplugged late late/morning 10hrs 5 mins with 61% battery left screen time is 36% but been using it like crazy the last 3-4 hrs. So far so good, kinda letting the battery settle in and I expect better results in the next few days. Stock root with TWRP still on 4.4.2 but will probably flash 4.4.4 later tonight.

Mahdi ROM + Franco Kernel r6 at the time. No wakelocks, ensuring your phone deep sleeps, good signal (this is key... better signal u have the less battery your phone will use).
Plus I used a customized configuration set up for Franco Kernel

How do you disable wakelocks entirely? And does that mean you don't get notifications from anything?

I do get notifications. Just have your phone deep sleep without any apps preventing you from deep sleeping (wakelock).

So how can I go about doing that? Disabling wakelocks I mean. I'm on PA and I get about 5 hours of screen on time.
EDIT: I did some research and using WLD I found this. Is this because of Google Now voice recognition?

You have to check if you have wakelocks or not using a app such as Wakelock Detector. 5 hours on screen time is pretty good though.
Search for it on google, im not here to lecture about wakelocks you have to do some reading on your own.

anytime you do an update give it a day or two before determining how the battery is.. it burns through some doing optimizations on the first load
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
i can also say the edge screen isn't giving that multi touch palm issue any more. Im glad to see that fixed as well.
I'm afraid to do the update since they say it cannot be rolled back
if you are looking for any root in the future i would suggest holding back from updates
I updated and so far cpuspy says deep sleep instantly as soon as screen is off and dont see any wakelocks so far. I disabled junk and uninstalled stuff I dont need and removed notifications for any games(I just check my games and weather manually). So far no android system drain at all in 15m on battery. I updated 30min ago then fast charged.

Battery has been good since updating this morning. I normally get 9 SOT. I'm down to 83 percent and already have 2 hours SOT. Can't wait to see how this pans out in a few days!
Has anyone checked if this update unlocked the bootloader?
That first update knocked out 2.4ghz wireless reliability, I wonder if this will fix it! *fingers crossed*
My battery and camera have been great! I haven't had a low-light picture that was amazing yet, but that's not their fault!
Hooray! They fixed the screen too sensitive already. And I feel it run smoother now.

Agreed. This was my biggest pain point. What a relief that its fixed!
Screen sensitivity fixed here as well. It so much easier typing now. Also my palm resting on the edge no longer makes the screen go unresponsive.
Android System battery drain also fixed.
I'm torn between accepting this update and holding off for root possibilities.

I'm in the same boat. All these reports of improved battery life and smoothness/camera/touch screen makes it harder to wait. I figure if you're content with the battery life then just wait it out. I hope potential root would yield better results than any update [emoji41]

The option does seem to be missing from the Wallpaper menu. I just set one that I downloaded from the Play Store though and it works fine. Just have to open the app after you download it and set it from there.

Do u have any kind of Bluetooth problems after u reboot the phone. ?
Installed Nougat 7.0 with Odin after download through SAMFIRM. No problem whatsoever encountered yet, everything works flawlessly. Phone seems little faster. After 4 hours of use also battery use seems little better compared to MM.

No, everything's working fine. I didn't fresh install. But I did have some battery issues. Device idle and cell stand by are the main battery drainer.

Maybe you already know, but I wanted to mention in case you didn't. After months of looking into cell standby battery drain, the ONLY way I can minimize it down to basically nothing is to be in airplane mode and using wifi/wifi calling. Sad to see that cell standby drain is still an issue with 7.0 though.
Thanks for the info, I've tried mostly everything but I still couldn't fix the issue.... As of right now I'm on 25% with device idle by being 8% drained about 225 mAh and cell standby being 5% drained 149 mAh.
It might be that I didn't do a fresh install... Since I haven't heard anyone having issues with battery. So I might factory reset in a bit.
