I have been using the app tweetcaster and it started to drain my battery, maybe off an update or something. So I uninstalled it and downloaded another twitter app, fine and dandy. Only thing is I checked my stats and com.handmark.tweetcaster is still draining my battery!! This is absolutely murdering my battery life! Any help would be awesome, thanks.

Keep that screen up and plug your charger in and then disconnect it. Plug it back in and see if its still there.

Weird. Try clearing your cache.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The only thing I can think of, if clearing the cache doesn't work is that it did not uninstall correctly. Try going to your Settings -> Apps and swipe over to All. make sure that process doesn't exist in that list. It sounds like it did not uninstall correctly somehow.

How exactly do I do this, I know how to clear cache on a specific app, but not one that's uninstalled

Have you charged your phone to full since then? The battery stats aren't cleared until a nearly full charge. That's why it is still showing.

Yup the app was uninstalled before I charged my phone last night

That is bizarre. You could try clearing cache as others suggested? Are you running stock or custom recovery?
El daddy's post is correct. The app is not still draining battery.
The graph shows battery usage for 10 hours.
If that app had shown 40% after 5 hours and your battery had gone down to 75%. You uninstalled it at 5 hours. If your battery was at 50% after 10 hours It would still show as 20% after 10 hours. Even though you uninstalled it 5 hours previously.
Just charge your phone back up to full which will trigger a reset on the usage calculator. All should be fine after that

Nope I uninstalled it last night, I reinstalled it about an hour ago to see if it saved any cache, but it didn't, so I uninstalled it again. Phone was completely charged to 100% for this morning

100% stock, phone has not even been rooted yet. How do you clear cache, I know how to clear cache on individual apps, but this app is no longer installed

To clear the cache partition:
Turn your phone off.
Hold volume down and power, this will boot you into the bootloader.
Scroll to recovery using the volume keys and select recovery using the power button.
It will boot into recovery and you'll see an android laying on its back. Press and hold power, then immediately press volume up and let go of both. (it may take a few tries as it's tricky to get right. If you can't get it in time, the phone will reboot and you'll have to start over)
Once the menu opens, choose clear cache partition. It will wipe cache and the phone should reboot automatically.
The boot up will take more time as usual as the OS re-builds cache.
Hopefully this helps. I'm not sure it will work because I've never seen an uninstalled app drain battery, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Okay cool thanks. I use to ROM and everything when I had a captivate, and galaxy s 2, but this phone is so polished and smooth stock I never saw the point to. Didn't know I could get into recovery without being rooted with a custom recovery installed. I'll do this when my phone charges to about 50%, its basically dead right now

Can you explain to me why this works and doing multiple reboots or power-off-on cycles doesn't? I've had similar inexplicable mobile data losses on multiple ROMs, and have tried a bunch of stuff. The power-volume up worked the first time...
Thanks, though!

It is like Windows XP. Restart (power off and then restart phone) just restart the OS not shutting the computer down, not clearing the memory and cache. Shut Down (pulling battery or hard restart volume up and power) turns the system off clearing the memory and cache.

What's strange is that I have tried booting into recover, wiping cache partition and dalvik cache in order to fix the problem. It worked once but hasn't really worked since. I guess it must be a memory thing... ???
At this point, I would suggest either a different kernel or a different ROM. Every ROM effects every phone differently. Try HellFire Sandwich v1.7 with the updated harsh kernel. Its what I'm using now and I haven't run into that issue yet.
For the past 24 hours my Skyrocket has started randomly shutting itself off every hour or so and then beginning to just slightly vibrate (like haptic feedback). Holding down the power button will start it back up, but obviously this is pretty terrible.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? I'm using an older NexusMod (ICS) and had no issues with it for the first 6 weeks or so. People have suggested the charger might be messing it up, but it continues to happen after using both my Skyrocket charger and my Nexus 7 charger.

Clear cache and dalvik cache. Did you restore any data from a different from to this one ?

I think your battery might be overheating. Have you noticed a heavy battery drain? Try using Bettery Battery Stats to see whats eating it up if you have.
~PsyCl0ne
i cleaned my battery contacts and the problem went away for me FYI
Happened to me also. Found out my phone was hot to the touch, so I removed my case, and let the battery cool down. Now I don't use a case, and it doesn't happen anymore.
I tried every ROM but the battery just stays @3mv
Even tried battery calibration but it was of no avail
Battery discharges in 1hr of moderate usage on Stock ROM and almost every other ROM
Is the battery damaged ?
It has almost finished a year of use

Hi, I'm bumping this one.
I have the same problem. Tried Battery Calibration but 100% shows 4mV and 5 mins later is 64% and 3mV.
Can you explain this solution in deep, please? When you say "wipe everything" you mean getting into Recovery Mode and wiping Dalvik and whatnot? I'm not sure what ICS is either.
Thanks a lot!

Well
The stock GB ROM always showed me 3mv/4mv in battery stats
Other ROMs viz. CM7/9/10 always showed me something on 3xxx/4xxx
Also try doing this
Discharge completely
(After phone auto-shutdowns keep switching it on until it refuses to boot)
*** Try only on ROMs with offline charging ***
Then charge it to 100% and use the NOBOL method by zepperlinox (No battery on logo method )

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with a (new) battery that I've used for 3 months. Even tho it shows thats charged (sometimes as much as 90%), the phone will randomly turn off. Battery Calibration app reads only 3mv for some reason. With my other battery the phone runs perfectly normal (even tho with a big discharge rate since the battery is like over 3 years old).
To perform this, do i really need to install ICS? I'm currently using GingerBlurB V5 (CM7) and I don't want to backup/restore etc
Hi again,
If having a problem with my music effects in settings wasn't enough, I have a problem with battery drop too. It seems that when I reboot my phone, the battery seems to drop as you can see in the screenshot. I have deleted batterystats.bin and recalibrated using the app "One Power Guard" but that didn't seem to work :/ any suggestions? Cheers

So, my N5 recently started acting up now back when it had kitkat I never had this problem. So here is what I'm dealing with. My phone is charged 100% if the battery is at 60% and I try to take a picture the camera begins to act... All funny not taking pictures correctly as if the lens is taking too long to take the picture making the picture dark. Then the phone shuts off I turn it back on only to reveal my batter is at 1% and then later dies. Not sure if i have to replace the battery or what. This phone is was purchased on December 6th 2013 from Google.

I have the exact same problem. Has changing the battery worked? I am getting the same thing after I take a PIC or Play a game at when battery is at 90%. It just dies. Help out peeps.
So it appears that the issue has been fixed at first I thought it was the battery so I changed it that wasn't it. I then reflashed android 5.0.1 and still didn't worked I then disabled the camera app and downloaded one from the play store and the phone no longer shuts off while taking photos
