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.

if your battery life is bad, then what's good?

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.

Just normal stuff like browsing pulse or Tapatalk. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe try disabling wifi during sleep?

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.

sir, all samsung android phone is like that.. the battery is draining so past

Why did my phone lose 57% battery overnight?

Sorcery 4.2, fancy kernel 28. I had wifi turned off and data off. I also use greenify. I haven't been charging because the usb port is broken. I tried every governor available and every night within 5.5 hours i lost 57%.
How would you recommend i go about diagnosing?

You can get it in the play store, yes working my way to 10 posts

maybe your connection or app still running.
try callibrate, maybe help.

you are using the stock ROM or unofficial ROM
1. if you have stock ROM would be better to change the ROM (if you like) to see if the battery drain presents some change.
2. If you have an unofficial ROM has the same, it is possible that ROM you are using is not well optimized and causing the problem.
3. if nothing changes, you should explore about the current wear of your battery.

I think there was an article by a Google dev months ago that said calibrating didn't do anything. Or was that wiping stats?

Search "betterbatterystats" no spaces and is the first result. I ran sourcery for a long time and it was pretty solid going into deep sleep.

Custom Rom & kernel
You didn't include info on what rom you are running. Some custom roms do not take into consideration that people actually want to use their phones. Same thing with custom kernels. I noticed you did list you were using a custom kernel. It is the same thing as roms. Devs don't think about that as it can be solved with apps such as juice defender. That is a great battery saving app. -Hope it Helps

Besides the suggestion above, you can also try WIPE BATTERY STAT from recovery mode and do a factory reset
After that download BatteryCalibration from Play store and follow the instructions and see how it goes
May be your kernel also is an big issue since drop so much percentage

All this happened when I was sleeping. I forgot I had titanium set to run. I'm not sure what it all means. Lightflow for example is awake for 12s, but what's the number 652? 12s doesn't seem bad...and how is Google search working when I'm asleep?

apps work at background even if you don't use it. Try to install Advanced Task Killer at the Playstore, or if the phone drains ur battery too much, than just turn it off and wait for a minute and reboot it.

Thanks for the response. I don't really like task killers, but then again I have greenify and juice defender installed so I guess it's worth a try

You need to set advanced mode in settings to see which android core app is using that 9h wakelock.

Not sure how to interpret or further diagnose this. Well I know one thing and that's that it isn't entering deep sleep. I flashed a new kernel yesterday too.

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.

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.

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.

How on earth did you manage that @zephiK ?

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.

Just downloaded it to test, and it works just fine for me. I'd delete it and download it again.

I've been playing it for months on my n5, no issues. get rid of xposed, redownload it, then try again. if you have slow internet, as thats what it sounds like, sorry. but on lte here, it takes about 12-15 minutes to download.

I downloaded it to, no problems and I'm running xposed. not a bad game, but bring your check book

Probably to prevent memory modifications from memory hacking apps like Game Guardian. I didn't have patience to unlock all the weapons on Into The Dead so I did some memory modding. Yknow.. for educational purposes of course.
