Just wondering if anyone knows if this is working on our phones and whether or not the CPU should be sleeping while music is playing. I use Google music and it doesn't seem to work

Sorry about the duplicate

I know the first day or two I had the phone it worked. I had Better Battery Stats installed would set a custom reference, start Play Music(set to on Device mode), then turn the screen off, and at least 75% of the screen off time would be deep sleep mode. I haven't seen it since then though. I do use Viper4Android so that would probably have an effect on it.

Is android OS destroying anyone else's battery? Its using like 40% for me. Anyone else? Any fix?

No, i'm at 6%.
something you are running is causing the activity to spike.
Percentages like this are meaningless without something to compare it to. 40% isn't unheard of if you never use the phone, for instance.
I was having this issue yesterday. I installed FAUX kernel and it went away; screen: 28%, mediaserver 16%, rocket player 13%, android os 10%. Yesterday at this time my battery meter was 40% ; today 67%.
That could be coincidence and not correlation though. If you are up for the challenge, a custom kernel could help.
However, like vincent law said, it's all relative. If android os is 40% and your battery is at 95%, that's not really so bad is it...
When android os is high... It's an app keeping your phone awake 90% of the time

Reboot when you see this happening.
I've seen it once before... I didn't think to check OS monitor before rebooting to see exactly which process it was though.
I have this problem. Anyone got solutions to it?
Try disabling some location features in Google now. I found the traffic cards to give big battery drains in Android OS. Or you can check which in settings - double slide down from top > location, to see which app is using the highest request. Google play service was usually high when I had huge android os drain.

I have also noticed that at times google play services has a huge drain on the battery. I was wondering if play store setting had anything to do with it. I have mine set to " do not automatically update".
I have both facebook and google search on low battery use. For Google location reporting, I only have location history turned on. I don't know if this helps.
I start getting the same issue since yesterday.

I've also been experiencing the same issue. Started a few days ago. Checked tonight right before I put my phone on the charger after a full day of use, and Android OS had 9+ hours of awake time. It's driving me crazy and I can't figure out what is causing it.
I am so disappointed!!! I have the same bug. I had it on my old Phone (Samsung Galaxy S). I flashed 3 different firmwares on my i9000. Nothing helped. Now I bought the Nexus 5 and after one day it starts again
I went to bed with 97% Battery. Woke up and it looked like this:
It is stock Firmware with no changes. Maybe it is because of my google account? I am using the same google account for my nexus5 and i9000.
Check your WiFi connection. I don't really know why (yet) but sometimes, being connected to certain WiFi networks increases Android OS usage. This happens a lot in my college's network so I believe it's a problem with that, because it does not happen at my home's WiFi. You could try disabling WiFi in the different networks you use and check which is draining.
Hope this helps.

Yes I had this problem. I flashed factory image and enable high accuracy location AND reporting. My problem I pinpointed was Google Now NOT refreshing.
It would hang there trying to update and without location it didn't have anything to report and it would eat battery. I would force close the launcher and notice the wakelock stopped shortly, to return to Now not updating.

I found a way to prevent the Play Services and the Android System from eating my battery.
First I noticed that it was only happening, when the location services were enabled, and then I found the App Ops App for KitKat.
All I did was disable the rights for those two Apps to use location and to keep the device awake.
I'm having the location services on - and working in 4sq, Maps, etc,.. - and no more drain.
Maybe you can verify this?
Try this
My Android OS is at 3% after 19 hours.
Google services not enough to even show.
Battery 75%.
Light use 55 minutes screen time.
Google auto sync off, i sync when i need to.
I don't let play store check for app updates .
I turn location on when i need it.
I use mostly wifi some LTE
Unchecked wifi scanning always available.
Keep wifi on during sleep
Minimize battery use when wifi is on is checked.
I refresh my email accounts when i open them so it's not being checked automatically.
No battery or services complaints (Google services is so low it doesn't even register), give it a try?

The problem is definitely caused by the Wifi! I am using my College-Dorm-Wifi over night. When turning it off, the battery life is normal.
But turning off the Wifi is no solution! I don't have data so I am only using my phone in college networks
There musts be another way.

Hi
After reading about the new dsp tunneling feature I decided to try it. I let my phone play music using poweramp all night. The results was 3.5% of battery every hour, and CPU didn't sleep, it worked at 300mhz all this time. Trying with play music and got same AudioMix wakelock and 300mhz CPU, no deep sleep at all.
My setup is cataclysm with Franco r19. I never used stock so maybe it's the custom rom problem.
Do any of you got it working? Which means deep sleep during music playback with screen off.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 2
I'm running stock ROM/kernel and Mediaserver is one of the highest battery-consuming voices, close-to compete with screen.
It keeps the phone 100% awake during music reproduction.
Which means dsp audio tunneling doesn't work for you also.
I wanted to ask Google what's the problem but can't find a way that doesn't include phone call. Every time I try "contact us" option I can't choose Nexus device.
That dsp thing was one of the reasons I've bought the Nexus...

Did you run the same test with google play music?

Yes.. Like I said exactly the same.

hmmm, so it was a lie
wish Google would get called up on stuff, just one would be nice
but all the android sites have to keep their noses brown so they keep getting free stuff
Anybody else ?
Running perfectly with google music as long as one does not activate any EQ settings. Around 2% battery drain per hour
I'm getting the same results as well. I thought it was because of isyncr or something trying to play count but it seems like everyone else is having this issue as well

I assumed the phone wouldn't deep sleep it would just use less CPU cycles. Now I'm not so sure because I'm finding music streaming to use more or less the same battery as local playback.

Do I have a battery issue ? I'm running stock. I almost did not use my nexus 5 for 3 hours (5min call, a few text and internet browsing) and already lost 30%. I just purchased my phone three days ago so it may be a battery defect
I tried stock + franco, paranoid + franco, but I could not get through 8 hours with a quite low use of the phone.
Install better battery stats.

it could be your poor reception.. try switching to 3g and see how that works
I just got 4g today and it was the same with my old 3G simcard..
Prefect combination, running for over 14hrs and 22% remaining. Validus ROM 5.0 + ElementalX kernel (latest). ROM is super stable, smooth and loaded with goodies!.

I don't want to root it but basically bbs is saying i'm loosing 8% per hour, and I almost did not use my phone today.
Bam dmux is network related. Maybe you've some syncing going on.
What are the other screens showing?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Did you recently reset? At first it needs to sync a lot of your Google data. Honestly the numbers don't seem that far off what you'd expect without basic battery adjustments. 30+mins of Play Store, 10+min of voice calls and fairly low signal data usage throughout. Auto brightness is on?

Share some more screenshots brother
Just see to it that bluetooth, sync, gps, nfc and wifi scanning in background is turned off when not required
You can optionally check restrict background data to save battery further more

Hey guys
First of all I want to me clear that my Nexus is stock, never been modded.
The issue is that youtube seems to be running in the background, even when I close it. Every night before bedtime I watch some youtube and i noticed that in the morning the app is still running. And if I don't reboot my Nexus i'll just keep running all day leaving me with a dead battery in 6houres..
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? And so, what did you do with it?
Don't feel like wiping my entire Nexus so some advice could be usefull, if nothing helps i'll just keep rebooting every morning.
Actually in 'running' or in 'cached'?

Running, my Phone also gets warm after just sitting for 6 hours on my desk.
Wierd thing is that it doens't add up with the info i see in the battery info screen. There it says it ran for 2h, while my Phone was off the charger for 6-7h. That's why I don't understand my issue. I tried googeling my problem but all I seem to find nothing usefull.
OK so I rooted and over the pass few days I have noticed battery drops a lot. Before I could easily get 3-4 hrs screen on time but now there is only 1-2 hrs? Is this a known problem after you root? And is there anyways to fix. I use snapdragon guru before and after I rooted.
Thanks

Do yourself a favor and install Better Battery Stats. BBS will give you very detailed information about what wake locks are keeping your phone awake and draining your battery. In general, most people say to avoid "optimizing" and "battery saving apps" because they rely on activating the processor to function. Your best bet for great battery life is to minimize your wake locks.
Especially guru which uses more battery than it saves

In the thread above yours someone else has a similar issue and they found that it was tied into the wifi being turned on or turned on and then off.
Try turning off wifi, reboot the phone and go a day without using wifi (if possible) and see if that is the problem.

One of the few things Snapdragon Battery Guru tries to do is dynamically switch your WiFi on and off, coincidence?
Of course as Rootsu said, in the process it will use more CPU cycles than it saves. You could use Llama or Tasker for this and many other tasks with a minimal footprint. Avoid the advertising platform that is Battery Guru all together.
