[Q] Battery!?!?!?! is this normal?

I know this is pretty heavy usage but i was hoping that the infamous 17day standby time nexus s would handle much better.
My phone is used but it is new to me. I reset the battery stat file yesterday afternoon. Does my battery need more time to recalibrate?
here is my usage graph for today.

I made a comment about GPS being on because my eyes decieved me and I thought he had had it on the whole time. I was wrong lol

I was on the internet most of the day and I read somewhere that google maps and latitude were using lots of battery... you can see from this graph that there was a slight drop in battery discharge rate.
Anyone else finding this?

Latitude seems like one of the reason since it constantly requires GPS.

latitude doenst need gps. Latitude can also use radio. So you dont need wifi or gps on for that.
radio doenst use lot of battery with latitude for me

Battery issue

I played some games today and didn't use any 3G at all, WiFi is connected sometimes, make less than 60mins of phone calls. However the battery drains really fast, is there any problem or bad quality of my current battery ?

According to your screenshot, your phone does not actually exist. That could be your problem
Your screenshot didn't show up, but there's a few discussions in General about battery life. Personally, I don't have any issues with normal use of a little gaming at lunch, a few calls, lots of texts, an hour or two of web browsing, etc
That said, I'm not apparently using it like some people here. So, of you're not getting normal life out of it, I'd hot up those threads.

Battery Eater: Google Services?

I kept my (at 100% when I went to sleep) phone unplugged last night while I slept to see how it does when it's idle. (when I'm working I'm running WiFi tether which obviously sucks battery life so I've not seen how it sits.
6 hours later I woke up to A battery at 71%, which was kind of surprising. I've attached some screen shots.
I run CleanROM 6 with its stock kernel. Would a different kernel help?

Are you on Wi-Fi at home? I've read some people having this issue and they've turned off the Wi-Fi power management feature and it seems to resolve this. Settings--wi-fi--menu key-- advanced should get you to the right menu (I'm on an aosp rom so not sure if it's in the same exact place).
Also an app like Better Battery Stats might provide more specific information about whatever is draining you.

Same place I described. It's the box "Wi-Fi optimization."

Thanks Dearborn! I just changed the setting so hopefully it works! I didn't even know that existed!

I have the same prob since CR6v2 (50% Google Service batt use when relatively idle) and have always had my wifi set to stay on when sleeping (assuming that's the setting you're talking about). It seems clear via GSAM and normal batt stats that Google Services is causing wakelock. GSAM says, "included packages Google Contacts Sync" but I'm not sure if that's conclusive or if it's just providing an example.

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.

Maybe get rid of Chrome unless you particularly like it. I found that Chrome was a memory killer on my 2nd Gen when I tried it. I don't really like it anyway so it's usually the first thing I dump after I get a phone.

Will it be enough just disabling it? Im not rooted yet.

Yes that should work, make sure you force stop it also.
