I can't win vs battery drain!

I used to run AOSP JB (_thalamus kernel) with every possible sync turned off (except contacts, calendar and browser) so as to maximize Deep Sleep.
I had Google Location off, location reporting off and a weather widget with a manually set city. I had deleted Talk and had no 3rd party maps app installed.
My phone would sleep great overnight (-6%) and then every time i left my house it would drain insanely (-20% per hour) without being used.
For the time being, i'm back on Rascream, but i'd really wanna join the party with JB, what could i do? (to better diagnose or...)

Did you have Google now disabled? That's a battery killer.

It would be easier to diagnose if you were running it right now...

I got it Nand-ed, so i can go back and try new things, but i had run out of ideas of what to do.

Have you try running Better Battery Stats to pinpoint what has been devouring your battery?

Are you online via 3G mobile data? That's a huge battery drainer. Try switching to 2G only mode especially if you don't plan on doing some hard core browsing. Or better yet, turn off mobile data and switch to 2G mode when possible for maximum battery savings.
Another thing you can try is start from a clean install, with only the ROM and all the system apps that came with it. Disable the apps you don't use, like GoogleNow for example, then add your favorite apps one by one, and see what is causing more than normal battery drain.

I used to have that. Disabled Google Now, logged out of Latitude (log in then out), Locations services w/ cell tower and gps disable and I used Autostarts app to disable ANY automatic start of Maps. No problem since.
Edit: Oh and that's nothing too crazy by the way. Not exactly a battery killer.

It turned out to be 20% per hour only when leaving home (somehow the phone knew i was moving around and it just wouldn't have none of that). While sleeping, it would stay in deep sleep for 90-95% of the night.
I am not having any issues on ICS and it kinda seems cumbersome to use an app to prevent another app from starting, although i understand the idea.

I know. The last step might be extreme, but that's all I did to save myself. Otherwise sometimes maps would go crazy and just consume battery for no apparent reason.

Hi,
You mentioned everything but turning off your Data. I live in a horrible area with only 1 maybe 2 bars and it totally drains battery much faster.
I leave it off until i need it, plus I have everything off that you mentioned including Google now(it has its own settings which you can turn off as you are in the actual app)
IIm currently running DaXmax's JB Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824381
and I have good to great battery life once I turned off everything like you did.
But I guess first try the DATA off issue and maybe it will help with your ROM
Or
try what other person said and run the ROM bare to see if its the ROM or an App you have that could be draining your battery
Good luck

Considering that i'm not changing the radio when switching from ics to jb, nor am i having low bars on jb, i don't see how data could be the source of the drain. (nor am i willing to run a ROM without data).
Thanks for all you replies (i've thanked you all) and i'll try to Autostarts app when i get the chance.

Autostarts is a great application. I always use it to keep Maps under control.

[Q] Moto G idle battery drain

Hi,
I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.
My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.
This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.
The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.
Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.
The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.
Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?

What kind of battery do you have?

What kind of battery I do not know - I did not change anything on this phone and as far as I know the battery can not be removed. I bought the phone in early January 2014, it was one of the cost to be delivered and still had the previous android version (4.3?) back then.

Go to developer Options in settings and if you do not have this option then go to About Phone and tap 5 times on Build Date or number (should be last one) then go to "PROCESS STATS" which is under "ENABLE BLUETOOTH HCI SNOOP LOG" and when you are at process stats click on the three dots on top right and change the duration for 1 day and then you might be able to find the application that is running in the background constantly, mine is Facebook lol and Facebook Messenger....

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.

Just search wakelock detector on Play store and it should be the first application there. The qcamera2factory is a wakelock inside of the "Media Server" wakelock. Check how long your device has been on for and how much screen on time you have and compare to how long you have had deep sleep, if you have like 10 hours of on time and 1 hour of screen on time you should have about 9 hours of Deep sleep, if it is anything weird like 1 hour or 2 hours then you have something preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

lol if you are on your phone all the time then you will see somethinh like this xD 10 hours on time - 9 hours screen on time and 1 hour deep sleep. lol

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector is this it ?

Hmm... No app like that (Skype etc.) is running on my phone. Could it be the camera app itself? Never had any issues with that before though.
My phone is not rooted. I just want to use it in place and not think about it too much. Researching which is the best path to root for Moto G was to mich for me back when I bought it and I have been happy with it or if the box - so far...

here was my stats after one night. kernel wakelock
CPU wake lock

in kitkat, wakelock policy was changed and you cant clearly see any system wakelock without root (i have tried many apps like wakelock detector and there is nothing to see in compare with Jelly Bean 4.3)
i had this annoying battery idle drain - it happened randomly, sometimes battery ran 7 days with light usage of phone but sometimes 30-40% was gone in 24 hours = 1-2%/h
i didnt have any apps installed like Skype, Facebook, or any other "keep awake" app - i also set up my gps, wifi settings, nothing helped
i also switched to ART runtime..again, didnt help
i decided to switch back to factory Jelly Bean 4.3 - you CAN flash stock ROM without unlocking bootloader (im locked without root) and now im running 4.3 with battery drain 0,1-0,4%/h in idle...battery life is now amazing - final battery drain is always ~0,6%/h (light usage)
im charging my phone from 30% to 80% and now it enough for 3 days ! for my 6h night it is only 1-3%
in background i have 3 apps running for battery monitoring (battery hd, batterydrain [analyser], gsam battery monitor) and few schedule apps...i disabled unnecessary apps like motocare and few other google/motorola apps
yes, im missing better alarm (kitkat), better RAM (now i have 60-100MB less...but if 380MB free or 460MB free...it doesnt matter for me) and some other little things that everything i can handle for MUCH MORE BETTER battery :good:

Mine drains 10% when it's in plane mode per hour...
But others days can last longer for at least 8-9 hours of screen time.

Is your phone running hot? I've had a problem with some custom kernels that caused my phone to run hot and drain fast without any visible signs.

this is after some time. im concerned by the second one on the list because it has Wheelock's at the end of name and it has x1441

I just rooted the thing and installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor. Now I'm down to 0,3-0,4%/h. That is fine for me.
It is a bit sad that it had to come to this but that is how the world works these days, I guess. Isn't it amazing how mch technology we can fit in these small packages?

0,3-0,4%/h is amazing !
im on 0,34%/h as final result now (BatteryDrain [Analyser])
yesterday i ended 5 days cycle on 53% battery i charged to 82% then with very light usage i need to charge after 5 full days (120 hours) on 29% (= no idle battery drain)
this idle battery drain is not hardware related, its issued by (stupid) KitKat - i really dont believe that it will be fixed in any next release (4.4.x or 5)
im enjoying JellyBean 4.3 much more than KitKat - all you need is flash stock system image WITHOUT unlocking bootloader/root/losing your warranty

Overnight charging wake lock issue? Airplane mode?

OK guys so I have a serious issue with the battery not charging at nights, when I plug my phone in. I frequently wake up to a hot phone with only 35% charge and it's been on the charger for 8+hours.
I have a strong feeling this has something to do with it being on airplane mode... Which by the way I have done for years at bed time with no issues until recently.
I need some help with this because I can't figure it out.
Here are my better battery stats from boot when I wake up and it's still on the charger. (Please note I can't do it from unplugged as the issue is charging)

your wakelocks have nothing to do with it not charging, check your usb chord or charger(use a different chord and charger). when your plugged in, does it say AC or USB?

It says AC and my charging cord is perfectly fine.
LOOK at the battery stats man, it's 2.27GHz while phone is supposed to be sleeping.
In the stats I've posted is the issue, I just need help to figure out which part
Partial WakeLocks audioIn. Maybe with the new Google now has WakeLocks on airplane mode trying to fetch data??

yea, and 55% is way to high. its normal to wake for a minute here and there, but 55% is extreme. reboot your phone, it looks like a stuck process.

Not sure bout the n5 but other phones I've had stay awake whilst charging not deep sleep.
Obviously something is wrong here but I can't see that no deep sleep is the cause.

Took a nap again. While sleeping:

what rom/kernel are you using? havevyou considered a factory reset?

Unusual issue for sure. I'd just fastboot stock on it, and see how it is before installing anything. Rule out hardware. ?

Purity ROM/code blue kernel.
It's certainly not hardware issue because my phone has gained 3-4% in the last 5 minutes while checking this forum and replying to this msg. After a fresh restart with the phone still plugged in, sometimes that gets past the issue.
It has something to do with airplane more and charging I think..although it also wasn't getting past 0% while using phone earlier today without airplane mode.... :s
I'm gonna do have to do a wipe and fresh install of ROM and Kernel

So full wipe and reinstall ROM and Kernel. Problem still exists.
Wakelocks are coming from
Google Search/AudioIn primarily.
I have "ok google" enabled from any screen including lock screen. This may have something to do with it however what's the point in making this a option with Google Now if you can't even charge your phone above 40%.. Due to constant wakelocks..
Either that or it has something to do with Google now trying to use data in combo with AudioIn when airplane mode is on

Clearly.. Understood. I know what it does man..
But if one can't charge their phone with an 1.2A AC adapter during the night over an 8h period.. is this really a viable option to use "OK google" from any screen??
Others with this option enabled are you experiencing charing issues?
Doesn't this phone have a "sub processor" used for this type of activity in order to avoid full CPU usage?
It's using the top CPU freq and I've been trying to figure out this issue for a few weeks now.

Honestly, is it really a useful option to use in the first place, other than for showing off?
The low-powered core in the Nexus 5 is used for a hardware pedometer (ask Google why) rather than for audio listening or music playing capability. Unlocking/modifying it's capability would be diving into legal ramifications without permission. Hence why it uses a wakelock, which in turn makes it useless unless you don't care about battery at all.

I'm not the one to tell you that since I've had it entirely disabled since day one.
It could be that the AudioIn wakelock that Google Search is using also wakes Google Play Services, which then wakes your device even more. Looking at your screenshots in the first post, Google Play Services woke your device "619 times over 13hrs 39mins, 45.3 per hour".

Although not a solution, but using some kind of quiet hours app may appease your need for airplane mode

People that just love this Google now any screen issue are going to have to just accept it's a battery hog. Or get a moto X and have this feature even when the screen is off. No wakelocks and no real battery drain.
As far as having trouble charging, one solution is turning the feature off, charge the phone, then turn it on again.
Google puts features like this out cause of a demand... And they probably don't care if it's hard on the battery. People wanted it and they gave it to them.

Want to increase your battery life? Install Greenify and activate "Aggressive Doze"

Want to increase your battery life? Install Greenify and activate "Aggressive Doze"
I have the Verizon S7E so there isn't much we can do AT ALL to increase battery life because we will likely be stuck without root forever.
That being said, I've been looking around and a lot of people have been saying that the S7 line isn't "dozing". I remembered that the Greenify app has something called "Aggressive Doze (experimental)" in its settings.
So I tried to force the Doze with Greenify. It worked.
1. Download Greenify
2. Open Greenify and click the 3 dots at the top right of the app.
3. Click Settings
4. The 2nd option should be "Aggressive Doze (experimental)" and disabled
5. Click on it and then enable it
(Optional) - I enabled the notification at the bottom so it tells me when and how long each time that it dozes for. This is nice because it gives me the sense that it's ACTUALLY working because otherwise I would have no idea. You can turn it off later too.

I have noticed quite a bit of improved battery life on my Verizon S7 Edge. I only lost 2% battery over my 8 hour sleep last night.
I don't have a stats page at the moment. Let me charge it to full and post in 2-3 days because that's how good it is right now.

I've uninstalled greenify 'cause some devices on MM had problems with it. After reading this I'm thinking to install it again and do it your way.
Did you have any deepsleep issues or redraws on touchwiz while on the aggressive mod ??
Thanks.

I've had zero issues so far. If you can handle the occasional delayed notification (because this is Doze) from Facebook/Twitter/etc then you'll be fine.
Greenify even let's you Whitelist apps that you don't want dozing in case you need instant notifications for the specified app.

I thought greenify requires root?

I was getting delayed alarms from Google's clock app. Had to uninstall Greenify.

No, not entirely. The paid app lets you greenify some system apps without root. I currently don't use it with Marshmallow.

Whitelist it. And any other app that might experience delays. It does say "experimental" after all.
Might want to remove it from the hibernate list too if it's giving you issues.
I have the Google clock app and both of my alarms were working fine this morning so others mileage may vary.

It was whitelisted by default. Yeah, it was the oddest thing... My alarm would go off like 8 minutes late, and the screen would show "-8:34 Remaining"
Yeah, Gmail is whitelisted. Took 45 minutes to get a notification that the email came in.

That's a bummer. I guess they should mention YMMV in the app too lol.
So far working great for me, no issues. Hopefully that will keep up.

Works fine for me too. No delayed alarms or texts.

Wondering
I had Greenify with Aggressive Doze on my Verizon Note 5. It seemed to help quite a bit. For me to enable it on the Note 5 though, I had to push an ADB command via USB to set it up...Is that not the case with the S7 Edge?

Are you also hibernating apps, or only using aggressive doze?

Just setting it up at this point...So presently I am not hibernating any apps

I dont use greenify or anything for that matter. I get from 10-12 SOT. Normal use. Snapdragon version. I believe since we cant root our device, knowing how to the debloat with disable package pro will give u battery battery life than messing with doze.

I did the debloat, it helped a bit. Aggressive doze helped more.
Also I don't believe you one bit with anything over 10 hours SOT. Unless of course you put on a 10 hour movie with super low brightness and left the phone sitting.

It was causing my music to stop playing in the background so I turned it off

Experimenting with Greenify's aggressive doze setting. So far I had to tweak a couple settings since it was blocking my calendar schedule. I even had S planner white listed as well. What I did to correct it was actually white list Greenify and that made it work. Gonna play with it a few days and see how it goes.

aggressive doze works well for me
hibernation makes my phone unstable in some cases, so I left aggressive doze only, phone works fast and battery life is noticeable better.

how do I know whether the doze mode is working or not ?
what is the app that I can use to monitor doze mode ?

Aggressive doze did NOT work well for me... At first it changed my estimated battery usage time left (with full battery) down to 9 hours, then things stopped working. I whitelisted Greenify, and I had other apps whitelisted before using it, so I didn't have to change them, and they all worked fine prior to aggressive doze. Battery life ended up being fine for the most part, but GPS would never find me at all (whitelisted location, no change), my-places stopped working (whitelisted it, no change), the phone was very unresponsive, even after unlocking, just didn't go well lol... Uninstalled it this morning, my GPS still either won't lock, or thinks I'm somewhere a few blocks away, turned on high accuracy which fixed that. I'm constantly seeing finding location, and location found on my notifications. Maaannn, I was hoping for just a little better battery life, and instead turned into a huge pain! Beware guys and gals!

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Mi 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

If anyone could post the standby drain overnight it would be great. I would like to know how much % is lost during night time....

This one is from mine:

It's 20% over 9 hours, so it's around 2% per hour. Everything is still on: sync (3 email accounts, 7 social media apps), wifi, bluetooth, etc.

I'd really like help with this area, if anyone can give me any advice. If I charge my phone to 100% at night then unplug it, when I wake up in the morning it's down to less than 50%. This is with pretty much nothing on, no wifi, data, bluetooth etc. This happens most of the time, but not all the time (when it doesn't I can get a few days of use out of the phone), and I've yet to identify and fix the exact cause.
Haven't empirically tested, but I seem to get more battery life when in continual use (listening to music off and on, etc), then when resting overnight/for long periods.
I can give any details needed, but I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.0-20160908. Have tried Doze, and GSam (can post any logs if I know what's useful), and Wakelock detector. Would changing roms help?

Hi Khazidhea,
I can tell for sure that it is NOT NORMAL that your phone drains about 7 to 8% of battery life each hour !
Especially if you disconnect Wi-Fi and BT.
The only thing I can think of, is that you are in an area where the phone constantly switches from 3G to 4G to get on the network.
Of course, if you have 2 SIM cards in that phone, that may increase the drain significantly...
I think that if you are on Cyanogen, there is an option in Settings that is called "SIM Cards".
If you select that option, you should be able to have some access to settings for each SIM Card.
Try to select one and look for the option called "Preferred Network" and select something like "WCDMA" or "GSM" (that is 2G in the US and 2G in Europe).
See if that improves...
As far as I am concerned, I run my Xiaomi mi5 with a ROM called "Tipsy-OS" that I have compiled myself...
So far, I am unplugged since 2 hours, have used the phone with 4G, BT, Wi-Fi, automatic updates of apps, mail retrieving, applied themes via substratum... and lost 2%.
So no, 8%/hour without doing anything is NOT NORMAL !
Regards.

I finally ended up fixing this. Simply changing the setting "Preferred network type" from 4G to 3G made my battery usage change from about 2/3 of a day, to up to 4 days, with my typical pattern of usage. Note that when my battery was being drained before I did not have data turned on, so not sure why that ended up being the fix.

If 4G coverage is bad in your area, it will trigger reconnection over and over again, causing battery drain. The protocol itself is indeed more battery consuming in general, but shouldn't have much gap with 3G under the same coverage quality.

% 5 full network bltooth

seems mine 1-2%per hour all sync on, wifi.

I can confirm same here LOS airplane mode = 0am till 6am 100% to 98 or 97 % so at max decrease a 1/2% an hour.

In a non-airplane mode with WiFi connected I get a bit more than 1%/h with greenify activated.

I posted in another thread but i've got no answer.
I decided to switch to Global Dev ROM thinking it might solve my battery issues, but it only got worse, im getting around 40% battery drain overnight. Any ideas???? I don't have mi sync enabled, google play is set to not auto-update apps, i barely use mobile data, so only wifi.

seems like a wakelock, the global dev is the official? Did you install any other app of it's like that after the wipe and flashing? Check for wakelock detector apps in the store

Official Global Dev, so i noticed that "Lite Messenger Facebook" was draining the battery like h3ll, i uninstalled it and now i've been using my phone for an entirely day browsing/email/duolingo and half battery has gone, the way it is going i will have to charge every 2 days or so. In the meantime i might just use facebook messenger through the browser.
Although Global Dev is fine, there are some bugs and MiFit does not want to sign in, i might go back to Global Rom when 8.2 comes out to Mi5.
Thank You!

Try this : if you had flashed your devices maybe you could calibrate your battery.
You can find 'Battery Ultra Saver' on xda store
Have a good day.

It is actually XDA Labs
Here is the link to the page, also the page has the link to download the APK
https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-labs/

During the night (8h) I can lose 2-3% (without wifi, BT, LTE...). I'll try Battery Saver Ultra tonight ! Thanks
