EDIT: After doing some testing, it seemed to be the lockscreen notifications for Mahdi rom, which turned itself on when you picked it up(like active display).
Hi, using franco kernel #50 and Mahdi rom 4/25 and noticed my battery was draining extremely quickly. I checked battery settings, and it says I am getting a 27% battery usage from com.android.systemui.
Are there any known solutions to this?
The only thing I can think of that could be causing this is TouchControl(slide to wake)
Any help fixing this is greatly appreciated!

nothing you can do about touch control battery drain, except not use it.

Has touchcontrol has proven to be a problem in the past?
I mentioned it in the post because I thought it COULD be it, but didn't do any testing to prove it.
Thanks!

yup. battery drain with touch control has been known about for a long time.
After doing some testing, it seemed to be the lockscreen notifications for Mahdi rom, which turned itself on when you picked it up(like active display).
Anything to do with active notification (pocket mode) or tap to wake, anything like that is a big battery drain on the N5.
don't know if it could be helpful, but I want to share with you my experience.
Yesterday I did notice a heavy battery drain caused by android.systemui process. a 80% of battery gone in about 3-4 hours, without having done any particular operation or installed any new app. moreover, I was sleeping when it's happened.
I'm on a Nexus 5 with CM 11 Snapshot M9.
I remembered to have suffered an identical issue about one month ago, and no wipe was useful. the problem disappeared by itself the day after, and the a battery calibration it seemed to be the only helpful thing. but I was wrong.
I connected the fact that the problem appeared the first time the 31 of july. and, coincidentally, yesterday was the 31 of August.
believe it or not, by changing the date the problem was totally disappeared. completely solved.
so I suppose that it's a bug related to the system date, incapable to handle correctly the 31 of each month. very, very strange.
maybe (probably) it's not the solution for everyone who found this issue, but if you notice an abnormal battery drain by the android.systemui process, try to change the system date.

I came across this thread thru google search since I was having a huge amount of battery drain due to System UI on my Note 4 running custom ROM since yesterday.
And to my surprise, your 'strange' solution did work on my device.
Though its hard to justify since i didn't find any unusual wakelock/alarm for system date in Gsam/Betterbatterystat/Amplify but it did work.
Thanks for sharing.
Googled "System UI drain" and came to this thread, although I have Nexus 5X. I have read last two posts and thought "****, the problem looks just like mine, but the solution seems unrepeatable". Then I looked at the date - 31st of May. I will wait till tomorrow.

I have an odd issue that happened twice so far over the last couple months.
I'm well aware of the common issues that cause battery drains, such as app wakelocks, Google Play Services, wifi scanning, location etc... Sometimes my phone's battery just tanks @ idle, dropping like 5-10% per hour, with nothing causing wakelocks at all. Normally, my phone probably drains < 1% per hour, so obviously it's an issue.
I was able to fix the issue after going into recovery and wiping cache/dalvik and what not, but it's really odd. It seems like the phone sometimes just can't measure the % correctly.
And again, my phone generally drains <1% per hour, and when the issue occurs, I check my phone and I see it tank to like 40% after 5-6 hours idling when settings were not altered.
Does anyone else have similar issues as this??
As you stated above, there are wakelocks. I don't know how you would lose 10% every hour on idle mode. Normal loss is 1%- 4%. Please install a wake lock app such as betterbatterystats and report back with a screenshot or look up what the wakelock means. Majority of the time, it's just a app sucking your battery. If this is a major concern to you however, just factory reset.

Anyway to not have everything off in airplane mode and get less than 1% drain an hour?
I think thats substantial battery drain lol

I posted about what I think is the same issue I've seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589036. Look familiar? Happens more frequently to me than it does to you, but I reboot often due to kernel updates, Xposed module updates, etc.
I hope it's a software bug, but honestly, I haven't seen anyone else complain about it. Until now. I find it impossible to believe nobody else has noticed it. It's impossible to miss.

I've been on Cataclysm rom for a while now and it's very random. Only experienced twice and I preordered my phone (so however long I've had it).
And as to the other posts above, like I said, I'm not a novice to identifying wakelocks... I'm well aware of the typical wakelock issues this phone has, and my device generally doesn't experience this drain. Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots, but basically everything looks normal in BetterBatteryStats, but the battery % just tanks in a linear line with hardly any awakes.
I'm personally thinking it's a bug with the software regarding reading battery %.

Not on this phone no. When I had my HTC one I would regularly get around 0.4% per hour standby drain. That was the best I've ever gotten on any phone except the iPhone.

My HTC One was at about 1%/hr. My Moto X on it's best night lost only 1% over 8 hours but I usually lose 2-3%. My Nexus 5 is at 3-4% overnight. I've seen it do less though. I have to leave wifi off (on both my X and my N5), otherwise the drain becomes more substantial. As long as it's on LTE, when it sleeps, it SLEEPS.

I did last night for the first time, and a friend of mine had it a few times too, but it mysteriously fixed itself... At least it's a while that it doesn't happen anymore
I hav been using moto g for the past 3 months. The phone worked perfectly for the 1st month. But after 1 month there is some battery drain issue.
When the phone is in standby the battery drain unexpectedly fast. i get a screen time of only abt 1.5 hours. During the night the battery come down by 25-30%(3g and wifi are both off). I have factory reset the phone but the problem still persists. I have also tried to keep the phone in safe mode when i go to sleep but the battery still drains heavily. The Battery drain in expected amount when i am using the phone. Battery saver apps doesnt seem to help the battery life. Thanx in advance.
Since you are on 4.4.2 could it be the mm-qcamera-daemon problem? The process is well known for causing battery drain if there are certain apps installed (like Snapchat or Skype).
Also known is higher battery drain after using GPS.
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654180 gives you some ideas how to isolate your problem

I have installed Skype. Maybe it is the cause. Thanks a lot for linking me to d right thread.
You're welcome!
So uninstalling Skype (or just updating? Not shure if there has been a recent fix) maybe help. Or wainting for 4.4.3 which shouldnt take too long

I have uninstalled Skype. but the battery still came down by abt 10% last night. so there may be another problem. 4.4.3 hopefully comes with a solution to the skype problem.

I have the feeling my answers seem a bit chaotic... Sorry for that.
Well at least now you know that Skype not seems to be the issue. I should have stated already that you could try an app like "Gsam Battery Monitor" or "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). They give you a detailed list of processes that consume battery.
Unfortunately I can not tell if and how good the work without root
I have tried gsam battery app. It jus showed normal stats nothing out of the ordinary... I have installed greenify n added a bunch of apps to it which I thought drains more battery. but Battery life has not increased.
I looked at d link from ur earlier reply. Many users face d same problem but for some of them rebooting solves the problem.
Don't think any installed apps r causing it.
I have switched over to ART runtime because I read that it has better battery efficiency. I'll use it for a couple of days n chk.
The battery drain graph when screen is off seems a bit steep than normal. Maybe it's a bug in 4.4.2.
After updating my Z3's firmware to Lilipop, I'm facing huge battery drain. In kitkat, when returning home battery remained 55%. After update, I found it 30-35%. Note that my usage pattern didn't change.
How can I get rid of it?

There is another thread for this issue.
Does there have the solution? Please share the link.
Many users reported that a factory reset fixed their problems. Only downside is that you have to reconfigure your phone
done factory reset manytimes but the drain remains..
seems like radio being active by apps is the problem
i'd love to post screenshots but since i am new here you know i am unable
Have you tried using BBS (better battery stats) to isolate the drain? And also try setting "keep wifi in sleepmode" to never or only when connected. Have heard of that working wonders for some.
And the screenshot thing can be overcome by uploading it to a different site and posting only the links
Preper yourself for NO notifications, if you put WI-FI to sleep.
I have wifi asleep and still get notifications. Maybe a little less frequent, but that's because stamina mode is working better (in my opinion) and only checks once in a while for new notifications

That' s the Queue background data option that is doing that.
So there ARE notifications Vs what you said that there would be none. I rest my case here
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
@ OP, I also ticked the option that other apps may not use wifi for location even when wifi is off. I believe that may also cost you some juice

It's funny how my phone ran normal for the first week now the phone is being drained by Facebook and feedly, I have made no changes in any settings and its happening now. Haven't looked into the problem yet but don't even know is it third party issues lol.
One thing I found out is that the battery tend to drain at a lesser rate if you leave the phone charged for an extra 20 mins or more after hitting 100%. Just a speculation

So, blame facebook for the battery drain.
There is an option where you can make the phone play a sound when is fully charged.

Just clean flash stock ftf.. Ota just sucks. I did it and my battery returned to prime life again.

Anyone experiencing excessive battery drain with the May patch update? Android system drains the battery too much. I just reset my phone 2 days ago, installed my usual apps, updated the system and then this happens now. Any fix on this?
Hello,
It's actually a well known problem in the community
1. I have submitted a report to Sony and request them to release a software update to fix the Kernel
- which means that our best chance here is to hope it is fixed with an update, the root cause is the Kernel not being optimized
2. I am on the verge of snapping this phone in half as I asked around the community and received no answers , been trying to fix this for 1 year straight

Out of the blue: A factory reset could help.
You definitely have a problem that your phone does not idle (look at my screenshots (v ..128):
idle (Ruhezustand) should always be in the top three).
One of your messengers might the culprit.
Try to disable them all and switch them on one after another to find a possible culprit.
Hi,
I too have these issues. Did you manage to workout which app was at fault?
Yes, another case here. We are still investigating the problem and checking if it's some app or system itself. Most of battery was used by android system and battery was empty in 11 hours.
Problems started with 41.3.A.2.128.
So is it worth updating?

In our case problem was either facebook or whatsapp. Both remove/disabled and now battery lasts as always.
Yes, it is horrible!! I woke up at 7 am, took my phone off the charger and never made a call, or even turned on wifi. I came back from being outside around 11:30 and I was down to %34!! Without the phone having done nothing but sit there and recieve 2 missed calls and 5 text messages!! I usually get 2-3 days on a charge with my XZS depending what I am doing. Needs to be fixed and fast!!!!
Dont factory reset, because the battery issue will not go away for rom issues.
But the "Messages" app do look suspicious for 5%.
There are some devs like to tell people factory reset for everything first and even reset for regular stock rom updates.
Its a bit excessive, like formatting Windows for every time it crashes or even for every Windows updates... Unless you enjoy restoring data & apps.
Should try something to troubleshoot and fix it first before resetting, so we know whats wrong.
The battery drain on idle is slightly better after a week, but we still have to wait and see.
i have problems too, with last existenz with this version battery its a joke
Did anyone encounter the same problem??
Two 5ii of mine are draining too fast this month.
I don't think it's a hardware problem, but a software problem.
Anyone??

I noticed that too for a week.
It must have been some Google service update that generated a lot of unusual wakelocks.
In my case, it's gone and back to normal.
reboot your device just in case
Same here as I texted this. I've getting SOT like less than 4 hours per day even I've restricted battery on some apps and restricting background data. However the issue still persists.
Kinda agree with the Google Service Update thingy since after some play store or updates installed and the battery drainage is just absurd.
Also throttling the CPU a lot and temperature is higher than usual, almost achieving 40°C in just usual social media, browsing and working.
Worst is that I've reboot in safe mode, and multiple restarts and is still draining battery vigorously.
Hope some software or google updates can solve this issue quickly.
From my experience (see my previous post) i had the problem for about 1 week and then it went away.
And lately, I'm getting the best-ever deep sleep battery consumption during night: ~3% .
I did not tweak any app battery policy in settings and I'm using stock A12 latest update.
You may have some rogue app update that is not in tune with the correct power management posture.
I have the same issue. It seems to have been triggered by poor network connectivity or something. The first time I had this issue, I had to solve it via software repair. I'm not keen to go through the process for the second time. I have shut down and restarted my phone several times.
There have been a number of posts on Reddit recently about massive battery drain with Sony phones.
Here and here and here and here
Seems like it's a Sony Vs Google problem
I have had the same huge battery drain, with my phone going from lasting two days between charges, to now getting hot and lasting just 15 hours
When I look at running apps, I see Gooogle Play Services has 2 or 3 instancnces. Some with 13 services. In the last two weeks Play Services has used 825Mb of data. Feels like my phone has become an AV transmitter.
Hello guys, today I noticed that the battery is finally back to normal. I turned on auto-update for everything and let it update whatever it needs to at the very first place.
Hope this kind of **** don't happen ever again.
I don't have auto-update and that issue only lasted a few days
