I am not too versed with this, was hoping that someone could help. My battery life while in idle seems to be suffering quite a bit. Here are the wakelocks that I see using BBS. Any idea what I should do to help my situation?
Do folks keep Google Now off? That seems to be one of the wakelocks but not sure what the other one is.
I'm on stock 4.4.2 using Franco's kernel r24.
Thanks very much!

Here's a thread where people have already discussed. No real solution yet other than reboot and hope it goes away ...

I'm also on stock 4.4.2 and Franco, and have the same BBS stats, but when my phone is in stand-by, it only burns 1-2%/hr. SOT, on the other hand, is 9-10%/hr. on low brightness, and can go up to 15%/hr on medium brightness.

Switch location mode to device only.
To permanently solve Google Now issues, Greenify it via Xposed. Unsure of the ramifications of this if using GEL.

I'm not familiar with Xposed - isn't Greenify just a regular app? Thanks for the help!

Greenify is an app on the play store, but you can't greenify system apps with it unless you get Xposed, and get the donation version of Greenify. That's how you Greenify a system app. If you don't want to go that route, you can try uninstalling Now, then grabbing it from the play store (or just move it to /data). This way Greenify will be able to control it.
Thanks mate. I gave it a try, but for some reason greenify with exposed did some weird things to my battery settings - the screen on time didn't advance (always said 2 min 32 sec), and better battery stats didn't display most of the usual stats. After I disabled Xposed and greenify, it worked fine again. Weird.

Hi All,
Ive been having an issue with my P905. Android system is keeping awake all the time. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
I've tried factory reset. It worked fine for a few days but its not sleeping anymore. I have two profiles set up, not sure if this could be an issue? I dont want to root due to warranty issues. Ive tried installing BetterBatteryStats but without root the guys cannot help.
I've tried reinstalling the official software without wiping but this did not help. All the apps I have installed on the tablet I have installed on my Note 3 as well, other that bloat.
Not sure what to do now. Please help.
Thanks

I had a similar problem, and digging around, found that the NY Times app was using up a huge amount of the battery, even though it was set to only update every 4 hours. I removed it from the Magazine UI page, and while I couldn't uninstall it, I did restore the app to the factory image and deleted its data/cache. That fixed it for me.

Update: I clear cache, data and uninstalled updates for NY Times. I disabled the app as well. Fully charged and restated the tab. Still no luck. Android system still kept awake all the time until now. Any other suggestions please?

This is so hard without being able to root the device.
Backing up, when you say it is kept awake, do you mean that it won't go into Deep Sleep, or the screen is actually staying on?
Assuming it's not a screen timeout issue, the places I looked were in the settings battery section - it shows what procs are using up the battery. I also checked settings for applications under running, looking at who was accumulating CPU, and also the System Panel app, which gives a different view into processes running.
What I would recommend is to charge the tablet up, then right before turning in, restart it (which will reset all the usage counters) and leave it that way overnight. Check first thing in the morning for what has been happening during the time it should have been in Deep Sleep.

Thanks a lot for your help, appreciated. The issue is deep sleep. Last night I charged and just before 100% I switched off and on again. Before restarting I disabled the NY Times app. Ive attached screen shots of the battery now. Hopefully you can see something that I've missed.

I'm not seeing any smoking guns there. If you're not seeing anything suspicious under Running in Apps Management or one of the other performance monitoring apps, you may have to just start uninstalling things and see if you can isolate it that way.
What does the battery chart look like, tap on that green/gray graph and take a screen shot. This reminds me of my LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1. LTE would consume battery like crazy sometimes, particularly when signal strength was marginal.

This is the current screen shot. Ive done a few tests and it seems Android system keeps awake even in flight mode. The entire weekend the tab has been at home and connected to wifi most of the time.

try the greenify app?
last i remember the developer released a non root version but im not sure if your device is supported.
search playstore for "Greenify" and get the non root version
it hibernates most apps until you run them manually.. you could use this to possibly pin point the app that may be preventing sleep? hibernate all the apps you can and then remove on app from hibernation list and see which app is the culprit... each time removing it from hibernate and then putting it back or rather replacing it with another one so you can accurately see the effect of each app on sleep?

I tried to greenify everything that I could. This did not help. I found that WakeLock Detector works on non-rooted devices via a PC version. I tried this and yesterday I think I found the cause. Seems com.sec.android.app.bluetoothtest is keeping awake for over a day. I dont have bluetooth switched on. I thried switching it on a left it on for a few hours but that did not help. Any ideas how to fix this?

I don't see this running on my P905. Quick web search mainly brings up links listing in in bloatware lists for various models.
I have 2 hours of SOT! Why? I use a a stock 5.0.1, rooted with latest ElementalX. Greenified all apps except of the ones I need notifications from, gps is off, auto brightness and I can't get a decent battery life? Why?
I know people like GSam, but could we get a BBS log please?
I dont have that, but I will install it now. For now, please help me with what I have

I can't do much with what you have. That's why I requested you provide a BBS log.
I can tell you that you need to go into Developer Options and disable NuPlayer (and reboot). That's (one of) the culprits of crazy battery drain in 5.0. I don't use ElementalX, so I can't say if it's default settings are contributing to your problems or not. You may want to roll with stock until this issue is fixed?
I recommend for now turning off NFC and turning location off or setting to GPS only. Working pretty good on CM12.

It's kinda hard to see anything out of the ordinary. Have you tried different ROMs?

Chrome eats battery. I would get a different browser like Naked Browser.

Hey all,
I'm sure it's been asked to death about battery but I'm going to ask again. I just can't figure it out. I've done all the "tips and tricks" and still keep getting the battery drain. I'm only getting about 7 hours on battery, most of which I'm not even using it. As you'll see in the screenshot "Android System" uses the most, and I just don't know why or what in there is draining it. Any help would be appreciated, and I can give any more information or screenshot needed.
Thanks,
Dan

Better battery stats is an app. You can find it on play store. Post screenshot from that app ?
Gotcha. I would but I don't have root. Next option?

Well, it's probably problem with deep sleep? Nothing root wouldn't fix ?besides that, I'm not sure.
I haven't rooted anything since my droid 3, haha. So it's been a little while. I guess I'll just have to give it abother shot and see how it goes. Recommended ROMS for the S6?
Don't do any roms yet, just root it with the ping pong app and send us the Screenshot

Sounds good thanks. I'll get it done tonight and send a screenshot tomorrow when the battery runs down again.
This is what my battery was doing prior to returning to stock. I could not find the solution..I even did the deep sleep fix. For now my only solution is stock

Root, then use Titanium Backup to freeze all unnecessary apps, then use Greenify and/or Servicely to restrict all non-system apps & services.
I am looking for solution as my device drains battery really fast.
I hope someone could assist me on this... I am using 444, su6-7.2 with bootloader locked.

Settings / battery. THe page before the graph you posted - which apps are listed there, and what are the %? (That said, you use the phone a lot - there is a lot of screen on/ awake time on your graph. Turn the screen brightness down maybe?)

I am also getting the issue. I'm on 6-7, 24.3.7, rooted, and if I use it intensely it will go down to 14% before 3:30 PM. I'm surprised, as the issue never happened when I got the phone new.
If your screen is 42%, you're just using it a lot. The Mini has a small battery. Maybe you can try setting brightness down, but it looks like this is drain because you use it rather than a runaway app or process.
That said, Google Play services and Google services have been running high on my usage list lately. There's not much you can do about that, except maybe turn off background sync, which sort of negates the reason I bought a smartphone in the first place.
Battery Doctor
Guys, I have been using Battery Doctor for few days, I have noticed positive effect on battery life. Maybe someone is interested to try..
