Hi guys, today I decided to check something on the battery usage screen and noticed that it shows that pretty much all usage goes to Android OS and no apps show there, I have updated to 4.4.3 using a dirty flash of a zip file, but I really have no idea when this started, sure it was working fine before update, any ideas?

Usually it rectifies itself after a full charge cycle.

Hi, think im about 2 weeks into my ownership of my N5, and over tha last few days ive noticed that the battery seems to drain far quicker now than previously. For example, my phone was 100% when I unplugged it at 8am this morning, and at 12: you can see the drain with very light use. I notice android is using a lot? Is this normal?
Any tips etc?
Thanks
i also have this problem, since 4.4.1 update Android OS is draining a lot

i read somewhere this could be down to fast dormancy??
I have a new "winner" in the battery drain category - this morning, I looked at mine & "Exchange Service" is now #2 on the list when I tap on the Battery.
Can I say, let's see what 4.4.3 is going to bring in terms of fixes & breaking more ...
Well, whatever it was, a factory reset resolved It! Been running sweet since i reset the old girl.
I've been having issues for a week now with Android Os/Kernel killing my battery. Just figured out in my case, it was having the "Enable Battery Stats" module in Xposed. Been running it for a few hours and everything but this Damn Audiomix wakelock seems good

The same in nmy nexus 5
I have the same problem in my nexus 5 after updated to 4.4.3 the use of batery for Andoris OS is around 20 % higher
I have been so impressed with the battery life on the N5 however the last 2 weeks my battery is dropping 50% in less than 4 hours. If I reboot my phone it fixes this and drops about 10% - 15% in 4 hours.
I thought it must be an app I am opening that is constantly running in the background but can't see anything obvious.
Anybody got any suggestions or advice? I have stopped almost all apps and uninstalled the majority. I don't want to restore factory defaults if I can help it.
Have you checked Gsam? Mine sometimes does that, and the culprit normally is my kernel keeping the phone awake for whatever reason, and a reboot solves it. Not sure why though

Get betterbatterystats and see what your wake locks are.
I have gsam but not really sure what to look for?

I'm not familiar with that. Does it tell you what your partial and kernel wake locks are?
If you go to App Usage it will give you a breakdown of what apps are using your battery

I have this exact same problem. I normally have to reboot my phone when I disconnect from the wireless charger. I don't think that's always the cause tho. I would love to install batterbatterystats but you need root am I'm really trying to not go down that road anymore.

I think It's the dialer. I had this problem in 4.1.1 where it would constantly be looking at my address book in exchange.
In my case, Gsam points to the Kernel being the issue. I'm trying out a different kernel, and haven't experienced the same issue.

I updated 48 hours ago.
Horrible battery.
I used to charge about twice in 3 days.
Usually my battery lasts a day and half.
Now It does not last more than 10 hours.
I had 50% left when I sleep and 5% when I wake up.
Bluetooth took 36% batter. Usually my screen use to eat battery.
Will see few more charge cycle before I go back to 4.1
This is not a review, just a complaint. Search, read and find that others have had similar issues post upgrade and how they addressed their issue.

Where do you find 4.1? My phone came with 4.2.2
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I meant 4.2.2
That's odd. First charge screen was on for 6.5 hours. second 7 hours. Kit Kat seems fine to me
My first charge on 4.2.2 was about 18 hours
I just got my G2 a few days ago and updated it to kit kat via LG pc suite. So far I have no problems it, fast and smooth.

For anyone that's having battery issues, try uninstalling Facebook and disabling Google now. Watch you WakeLocks for a day and see if its properly deep sleeping now.

Hi guys, I've just bought a Motorola moto g 16gb and then I've installed android 4.4.2 and I noticed that the battery stats doesn't show the battery usage of many user apps..
Is it a bug or not?
(Before this phone I had a HTC desire c with android 4.1.2 cyanogenmod)

It is not a bug.. android does not show user apps battery data anymore..

Ah.. I found it very useful sometime..
And is it normal the percentage of battery used by the screen? (I keep it around 30/40% during the day)

It does, but it won't show any user app that is less than (I think) 4% use. He's got a user app showing up on the list in his screenshot.
What has changed is that some user app use of core OS features now get reported as Android OS/Android System where as under JB they were reported as the originating app.

Yesterday I recharged it so the old screen on time is gone.. But today I didn't used it a lot but the percentage of used battery is 53%

Hey @smoza I noticed in your screenshots you're using a battery percentage app. Did you know that KitKat already supports battery percentage? You can enable it with this app, without root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent

OK, really need to know battery consumed, how much of that is reported to be the screen and the screen on time to see if that is an issue. It is normal for screen to be top of the list with regular usage but how much it drains (and how much screen on time you get) is basically going to be a function of your brightness settings.
Looking at your second screen shot I can see a couple of things you might want to investigate/change.
Wifi is always on - fine if you are actually connected to wifi - but if you are out and about and not using a wifi connection having wifi enabled will add a significant amount to your idle drain rate. You should also disable 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced Wifi Settings (Settings/Wifi/Menu Button.Advanced).
Your cell signal is often quite poor - not a lot you can do about it but that will cause faster drain when you are connected to mobile data.
Your phone is waking up regularly when not in use. There could be numerous causes for this, but most likely it is having location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saver - the phone is regularly collecting info from your cell tower connections and surrounding wifi networks to feed back to Google to get a location fix, and apps that like to know your location may be asking for a fix regularly. Depending on what you use location for you may wish to consider turning it off entirely or running in Device Only mode.
You've used GPS - some people have experienced an issue with a continually higher drain rate after using GPS - it's intermittent - for some it is everytime after using GPS, some most of the time, others very occasionally. A reboot will fix if this is an issue (it doesn't look like it is a problem but it's hard to tell - it's most obvious if the battery drains in airplane mode).
I turned off the GPS right now, disabled 'scanning always available' and set the brightness as auto.. I'll write here if this will increase my battery life or not, thank you anyway

You might want to keep it between 10 to 20% manually adjusting to higher levels if you're going outside, for the brightness sensor to not be working and therefore, consuming more battery.
From this morning at 10a.m. with 94% of battery I reached the 9p.m. with 7% of battery and I used it a bit more of my average use.. That's better than before (I had to charge my phone at 8p.m.), so thank you guys

There is anything to do to fix. this bug? The phone had aroun 70% of battery and the phone shootdown it self and you can see the results, 0% of battery but the phone is still working.

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.

Check to see if the battery is physically swelled
Checked battery looks ok also cleared the cache partition still acts funny.

Anyone have a solution to this?
I'd try changing the battery. Sounds like the battery is shot. Up to you though. Could be a number of things
Try wiping cache.

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
