Hey I'm currently running CM11 and I want to be able to maximize my battery life but still have customization. I'm looking for any option weather it be flash another ROM or what.

Flashing custom kernels (Franco for me) has yielded some improvement (but as it always is with this kind of things, YMMV), disable Google Now, turn location to "battery saving" or "GPS only", disable wifi always on scanning, you know, the usual. The thread above should help you quite a bit. Also, this is what I do...

If you Greenify apps that don't need to be Greenified (ones that don't wakelock) and you use them often it'll use up more battery than save.
I Have figured how why my battery life was being so weird and I have fixed it. I had an app called Lux and for some reason it was killing my battery.

Never thought of that - guess there'd be diminishing returns at some point. I do want to keep FB Messenger greenified though...that app sucks up battery like there is no tomorrow. I'll try degreenifying WhatsApp and a few other apps and see how it goes.

I use Velis Auto Brightness instead - I use these apps because honestly, the stock Nexus 5 auto-brightness is overkill. In a dark room, the screen is like a second sun!
Though if you have GravityBox, you could apparently tweak the auto brightness values...I haven't given it a try though.

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 am on SlimKat 5.0 with latest stable Trinity Kernel. Will link a kind person that offered to help me. Any suggestions on how to fix this drain would be great though! I'm not sure how to read BBS screens.

Crap...it just occurred to me that I think I plugged in for a few minutes when I got home. Before taking these...
Not exactly a valid sample. I'll come back tomorrow.

looks like google play services is getting you, its the nlpcollectotwakelock and nlpwakelock. try using the disable service app to stop those wakelocks coming from google play services.

Yep the screen shots aren't showing anything out of the ordinary, the gms wake aka goole play services is at 6m for 2h30m, if you're using Google now then it's normal.
Post new screen shots after a whole day of use and will take it from there.
Okay, so I believe I have this figured out.
I recently switched ROMs and I know some of the newest gapps have been draining battery badly. Also, I think those updates in combination with using "battery saving" location while at work was draining the battery more than I am accustomed to.
I work next to an airport and the radar messes with signal I believe.
Hello everyone,
i just flashed CM12 (fresh flashed) and found that the battery drains much more quickly as CM11,
I'm using AK kernel 024 + CM12 built on 30.Nov

It was awake that whole time. Get an app like BetterBatteryStats to show wakelocks.

Look at the bars at the bottom. Screen goes on off on off multiple times. Also it was in awake state not sleeping.

No it's not a Lollipop issue. Mine just did 7h screen on time over 2 days without charging. I'd screenshot but it just charged up during the night. Sounds like a wakelock or rogue app issue. Temasek (and other roms too) has Privacy Settings and you can turn off "keep awake" and "wake up" privileges for Google Play Services which will probably fix it completely. Works for me.

Ok, I'm just commenting because I've seen many builds with very average battery that isn't fixed by the usual denying of Google Play Services.
same problem
Hello everyone
me and my friend have same problem..it draining way too fast than cm11.but way??
well i have the same prob too
It eats up14& of battery in 7 hours of screen off. Its almost 5x more than cm11 which only eats 3% -_- . Any ideas? Ill share it if I found. Oh I'm using galaxy poket neo btw
Hi all,
This is my first post so sorry if it's the wrong place or just plain stupid.
Under power management, the power consuming apps section displays "currently no apps to report" for both unused apps and consuming apps. Anyone else have this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Normal. That means you have no misbehaving apps consuming an abnormal amount of battery
Here's mine

I forgot to close my SSH client some weeks ago (with an active connection to my home router), and it was reported
Thanks for clearing that up. Only got my phone on Sunday just been trying to work out why the battery is going down quick. Used about 25% since 9 am this morning.

But under battery /screen how much time has the screen been on?
Sent from my Xperia z5 using Tapatalk
Well it's now 15:16 and I'm now on 39% total screen time 2:44.
This is with brightness at lower setting and no wifi only mobile 4g.
I've been using chrome a fair bit and Spotify
But Spotify doesn't seem to actually effect my battery much at all.
How does that compare to others?
Just want to know if it's normal.
Thanks again
Ignore me. It's chrome it's used 43% of my battery.
I guess thats the rma (radio mobile active) bug , try disabling mobile data and use wifi to see if there is a difference in battery drain

Could you plz tell me the name of the theme you are using? I think the navigation buttons are really beautiful. Thx
Guyz, m not using WiFi even for a minute but in battery stats it's always on, and i think it's eating my battery faster.
Any solution or anyone else facing it?

We all have the same issue.
Ever since I started using nova, I noticed I havent been getting doze mode even after I've slept overnight.
I use gsam to monitor doze activity.
How about others? Thanks

I use also nova launcher but I hope you're wrong most likely is gsam that keeps the phone up, because it's monitoring the signal. You can go to the app optimization from batter options and "always optimize Nova" maybe it will help.
I really hope Im wrong because I like nova a lot.
Anyway, Ive been seeing huge doze times before until I installed nova a couple of days ago... im still monitoring more...
Sent from my SM-G930FD using XDA-Developers mobile app
I thought I had a problem with nova on my s7 too.
But now it's installed and since the last 2 days everything is perfect. the phone goes into deep sleep and the battery life is just fine.
in my opinion it was chrome beta what was keeping the phone from not getting into deep sleep or doze mode.
I deleted it and now i am using normal chrome browser. i also changed wifi settings on standby to only while charging.
Now the phone runs like on the first day with nova wich is way better then touchwiz launcher.
