Destroying my battery life. Never had this before but recently my battery has been utter crap because of this. Always have had the same setup with every ROM I've had with Franco kernel. But this is ridiculous; at this time by 1pm I'd usually have 85-90% but I'm already at 68%. Anyone else have this?

Looks like an issue with Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin
Have you tried uninstalling it or configuring it?
Or do you have any other third party apps that use the camera?
It happened to me multiple times, this is caused by an app using the camera wich crash. For me it was Snapchat, it told me that it could not access the camera so I stopped the app but some hours after I saw that this "mm-qcamera-daemon" killed my battery. After a reboot everything was ok : Snapchat working correctly and no drain.
I think that if you get an app saying that the camera is not accessible, immediately reboot your phone.
it also shows up every time you take hdr photos
Seems like it's snapchat guys. It wasn't able to access camera. Reboot fixed it temporarily but this is annoying as I notice it happens a lot now. Thanks for the info.

Yes. I have this issue, since a few days, too.
There is maybe a bug or something. I found a thread where lot's of people reporting the same issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=60058
In another Thread here, I found some solution possibilities like uninstalling Google Goggles. But it didn't help me.
So if anyone founds a solution how to (manually) fix it, please report. Not using the Phone and have a battery drain of about 50% in ~5h is annoying.
Maybe someone can make an app that detects which app is causing this problem or which can kill the process!?
€dit:
I have neither snpachat nor Yahoo Messanger installed
Google just announced a fix for this bug. Android Central: Google pinpoints Nexus 5 camera/CPU usage bug, fix coming in next Android release. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwzPD-ihI
If this post helped you, feel free to click "Thanks"... Thanks!

I've had my phone ever since 4.4, this only started happening recently. Instagram is always at the top of the list now. I used to get 4-6 SOT now I only get 1-2 hours. Anyone else having this annoying problem?
I sometimes get it, a restart fixes it. Though it can be annoying because you won't notice that it's doing it until you realize your battery is going down faster than normal.

Pretty sure it's been the last few updates since it happened on my n4 too before the n5 came out.

Do you use the camera inside Instagram? If so, then stop using it.
Try clearing cache/data of instagram and reinstall it after a reboot.

The problem is that when a camera app like the one that allows users to click pictures or Skype is used, it continues to run in the background and uses CPU cycles. This not only leads to the battery drain but the phone also heats up.
Instagram uses the camera.

I am experiencing the same problem.
It doesn't seem that the latest update to Instagram has helped things.

Hi. Its been a few days since my Nexus 5 battery has been drained pretty fast. Lasts only about 4 hours after fully charged with little use. Since I recently started working in a really poor reception area I figured that was the problem, my phone constantly trying to find a signal, but when I go to the details, I see that Instagram is responsible for using up 40% and it wasnt even running!
Im no developer, or even experiencied android user, but, how is this possible?

Welcome to android and app permissions. It's accessing a number of things on your phone with location probably being the number one. Get something like xposed and app ops to tame what the app is allowed to access. You should also get gsam or BBS to get a closer look at what is using your batery.
This happened to me last night with a messaging app I used to replace hangouts. It dropped about 12% overnight with data and WiFi all off.
I looked in battery use and messaging sucked most if it up. I cleared data in the messaging app and that fixed it. Later today I switched back to hangouts until I download another messaging app. I don't trust that one now.

Thanks for your reply. I'm guessing I need root for Xposed and those other apps ? Like I said I'm just an ex iPhone user who just converted to Android. So haven't given myself the time to tweak around.

you dont need xposed. looks like instagram had a stuck process or was stuck syncing. a reboot usually fixes that. there are other ways to fix things, other than installing xposed(as xposed could bring in its own issues). there are many apps out there that help, greenify being one of them. also, there are a few great apps to help you stop wakelocks that are out of control.
At first I thought glitches I saw caused by the app (inbox) itself. Then I keep seeing it happens on other apps as well.
It is like some elements (ie, action bar) of apps flashing or the whole screen flickers. It usually happens only a second or two at most; too quick to make a screenshot of it.
Though, this problem is not happen regularly, it is frequent enough to get noticed.
Here are some apps that I remembered glitches happened, it happens in other apps too but usually very quick and random.
In FX File Explorer, sometimes glitches occur during transition animation between folders.
When adding a new Google account in Settings, the big top blue part of the screen flickers.
In Inbox app, sometimes tips bar just keep flashing for almost 2 seconds when I closed it.
And, in A Better Camera app, this can happen sometime:

I'm considering reverting back to 23.4.A.0.546.
Even though the old firmware has stagefright bugs, it's very unlikely that someone would use it on me, and I don't use MMS anyway.
for me both cameras are better in .232
and yeah I have these screen problem
and did you notice that the speakers are noticeably lower in music ?? now they are like Z3+ !!!!
I had some screen tearing when I first installed .232, but none since then.
Speakers seem just as loud as before.
I do have the same problem.
Made myself a prerooted fw using PRF, downgraded, rooted and upgraded using the prerooted firmware i made.
Also made a factory reset. Now i'm getting screen tearing while scrolling, video glitches and stutterings.
I saw that at first but not anymore (maybe I haven't noticed them).
Strange thing is that 232 version should be Stagefright free, however, I've runned a test and I'm still vulnerable to one of the flaws.
As the title says, what is Network operator Theme pack? Ive already googled it and there is nothing close to it.
I was looking through my phones app list with system apps showing and I saw an app with that name, Network operator Theme pack and I dont recall seeing it before. It goes without saying, but I didnt install that app. The package name is "com.android.networksettings.overlay.ct".
There is also an app called Permission controller Them pack and its package name is "com.google.android.overlay.modules.permissioncontroller".
While they may mean nothing at all and be completely harmless, the "overlay" part raised a little red flag for me. Ive also been having severe battery drainage issues, but I dont know if that is related or not. Severe as in losing 1% of the charge every 3-8 minutes when using the phone and about 4%-5% every 45-60 minutes when the screen is off.
I looked at the list of processes running in 3C All in One Toolbox (paid version) and the only thing that was a problem was the mediaextractor kernel process which I killed each time it was a problem as it was eating up in excess of %150+ of the phones cpu. I was also rooted up until a few weeks ago when I updated magisk (through magisk manager) & edxposed, then after the phone restarted I was no longer rooted and unable to re-root without wiping all my data (which, needless to say I did not do as I am not in the mood to start over from scratch right now.
So yeah, if anyone could tell me what the strange app package is and maybe help me figure out my battery drainage problem, Id greatly appreciate it.
My phone is a OnePlus 7 Pro running android 10.
Stay healthy everyone!
P.s. I attached a screenshot of the app info window from both of the strange apps mentioned above.

Hello community!
When playing around with my watch yesterday, something happened and the watch lost connection to my phone. And i was forced to reset it and set it up again.
After setting it up fresh, i see that the Galaxy Wear app on my phone doesn't show the watch battery information most of the time.

I keep getting the above error.
On the app home screen, the battery info gets updated some times, though most of the time, that too lags behind.
I used to see this problem once in a while before, but after the factory reset, this is how it is most of the time.
Even on the SmartThings app, it is the same story:
A fresh installation is supposed to solve existing problems. But in this case, it has resulted in a new problem.
I have already restarted both my watch and my phone multiple times, and it hasn't helped.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
UPDATEAs suspected earlier, this issue is most likely caused by apps or watch faces installed on the watch that REQUIRE a companion app on the phone for certain functionalities, such as getting phone battery info.In those cases, either remove the battery optimisation for those apps on phone, OR uninstall such apps from both the phone and the watch.

Wear OS - Facts
Hello community! In this post, I am giving you info on some aspects of Wear OS, which you may or may not know. All the details presented are based on my experience with Samsung Galaxy Watch4 (WiFi model), running on Wear OS 3.x. So they may not...

Another unusual thing I notice after the factory reset is that the changes made to the Apps screen on the Wear app doesn't sync to the phone many of the times. This is something that never happened before.
Although I can't confirm just yet, it appears to me that some watch faces can potentially hinder with sync or cause connection related issues.
I'm keeping an eye on this and will update OP with my observations.
The cause of the problem has likely been found. I have posted the solution in OP as an update.
