Android OS battery drain - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whatever the issue is. Some solve pls
Wake lock detection isnt even close to providing me with enough information.
I have included screenshots.
I left my phone unplugged overnight and it COMPLETELY drained it to 0.
Would not even completely boot up and it would just die.
I would gladly give any additional information.

Turn off double tap to awake. Please report back which method worked

Wld screenshots only show small minutes of wake locks for stuff. Android os is the problem. Try what was suggested above and see over time which fixes it. I would try timmaaa fix before turning off double tap to wake if you use that feature otherwise turn it off too

That feature doesn't cause wakelocks. The problem is caused by Google Play Services.

Battery Drain during idle time

This problem only appeared for me when I upgraded to 4.4.3. 4.4.4 didn;t solve it too. I'm on stock ROM, rooted.
Basically instead of draining 2-3% over 8 hours of sleep time at overnight, it would drain about 16%. There are no wakelocks, and the battery monitor on Android doesn't reveal much... maybe Android System is draining more than usual but I can't be sure, and everything else looks normal. I really can't pinpoint the root of this.
What I do know is this - if I reboot the phone the problems goes away, for one or two days. And then for no apparent reason the phantom drain comes back. Only solution to it is to reboot every now and then. Very annoying. Anyone else has encountered this?
you gave us no screenshots, logs or anything.
how can we help you determine the issue if you give us nothing?

Sorry about that. I'm attaching a few screenshots that hopefully give you a better idea of what's happening. Ignore the media player drain as that's just my Poweramp. As you can see it seems like all the Android processes (idle time, Android System, Mobile Standby) are just a bit higher for the high drain screenshot. They probably add up and result in a much higher overall drain.
Once I restart the phone the drain becomes normal again, but after one or two days the problem just inexplicably comes back.

i have found Wakelock Detector to be great tool for me to see what uses batt when this happens to me
download it and run it for a day or two and see what is causing the cpu wake ups

I have it and better battery stats, both show no significant wake locks. In fact its awake for about 2-4% only.

I am having the same issue periodically. And the ONLY solution to fix it (temporary) is to reboot. As far as I remember it was happened to me on 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and now on 4.4.4.
BBS shows nothing major. There are no rouge processes in memory (checked in terminal), CPU deep sleep is fine (another fact saying that this cannot be a wake-lock). LTE/GSM signal is good and consistent (same place all the time). I have tried an airplane mode when drain has started but it does not matter.
If drain has started - phone would loose about 20% overnight (8-9 hours) when completely idle. Normally it should be 2-3%.
So, the source of such high drain is more likely somewhere in hardware/drivers etc.
I cannot determine which part of the hardware is draining current - baseband processor, digitizer, busmux, DAC or else...
PS: so much for all that google gimmicks about battery life improvement in every new Android OS.
Speaking of which I find out that Google Services in 4.4.4 are always trying to connect to "mother ship" even if Data Connection is turned down.
Some google developer explained algorithm they use for framework communications like this: if connection is failed then double wait time and repeat until it reached max wait time around 30min.
Well, last night (7 hours), with data connection explicitly turned off through Android Settings UI, Google Framework attempted to report to "central office" 246 times! - max wait time was about 1 minute and half.
Clearly, developers of framework know nothing about Android Settings API and continue "pinging" - well, but this is another problem.
100 cookies says its simply your poor signal.
Turn data off, not airplane mode, just data for awhile and i bet your drain is half what it is now.
Or get on WiFi.
You'll still get calls and texts with data off. During this test, toggle data on only when needed then off again.
See how that works.

Any news on this ?
Having the same annoying problem as well, normally it does not even drain 1% an hour while idle'ing and indeed sometimes (not always) a reboot does fix the problem.
Nothing to see with BBS or Wakelock detector
I am also getting this at the moment - I only noticed it since the 4.4.4 update. Overnight drainage is now in the region of 15% where it used to be around 5%.
I guess that isn't terrible but the idle time I got on this phone for the first few months was one of the great things. Hopefully a future update resolves it.
99.9 percent chance its location services. It seems to get worse every update. Try a night with it off.
If its already off. Try turning Google now, sync and put it in airplane mode.
If it is good....its one of the above. If its still bad.... Its a rogue app. A bit harder to track down.

I'm on 4.4.4 with all that off, and my drain is about 0.5 percent per hour....not in airplane mode.

Actually... I do have sync on for gmail, contacts and calendar.
We already tried all standard suggestions like the ones you're telling us again, the problem is there's a drain somewhere we cannot find.
4.4.3 had probs as well, in the beginning with 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 (don't know exactly) it was draining only <1%/hour (even with a lot of apps installed, I've greenified them)

Then its app related, or possibly carrier. Or I suppose the old "not all devices are equal.". And my reason for saying this is that many, many people still have perfectly good battery life and standby drain.
All those with the issue could have the same app or apps.
Whenever a battery issue seems unfixable....my advice is always do a complete wipe (except internal SD) and reflash firmware. Then go a day, or two and see how it is. If it seems OK....then start installing your apps...but only like 5 a day. So if your battery suddenly isn't good again, you know its one of the last group of apps you installed.
I'm sorry, but I just can't possibly imagine its just Android draining the phone. If it were like that, reports would be pouring in about this. And they aren't.
Yes, it can be work to track down a tough battery issue. But its do that work and practice patience.... Or go back to the last Nandroid version that was OK.... And stay on it. Or live with the drain. For me the first option seems most logical. Spend the effort and track down the issue until its solved.
But, to each their own. No one can force anyone to do anything.
Good luck!!! ?
---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------
Oh....and after flashing firmware...turn off every feature. Go one day like that and no apps installed. Day 2....try services you like on. Day 3....start installing apps a few at a time each day.
Just wanted to be clear. When/if battery goes bad....you know its whatever you just did.

[Q] Android OS Battery drain

Hello!
I have the problem that Android OS is using too much energy, keeps the CPU running for at least twenty minutes per hour. I lose 2-3% per hour without doing something although i do not have any wakelocks (checked with BBS). What could i do to get the stunning battery of the one back? I am running stock rooted with franco r35.
Thanks for your help!

No, the drain in Android OS is caused by Google Play Services. It wakes the device every minute and keeps it awake for 15 seconds, which means it's awake about 25% of the time. No amount of factory resets will fix that.

yep, event0, event2 and sometimes qcom_rx_wakelock. from my testing, i've found out that once i turn wifi off, they disappear. especially qcom_rx_wakelock. when i reset my router and even changed it, those wakelocks were heavily reduced. from 4 hours to like 13 minutes.
what i believe is the cause, is either there is a rogue app that causes these wakelocks specifically with wifi, or there is a fault with some routers and cm that cause these wakelocks.

So what would you suggest me? The 7113 is running as an AP for WiFi in my room, but the 7330 SL is our Main Router and i cannot reset it.
What irritates me is that Android OS is first in battery history with 50% more than every other app, even on 3G, when the event wakelock should not be present
sorry to sneak in , but in my OPO, Batter Monitor Widget says that in 9,5 hours
netd drained 156mAh
system_server drained 108mAh
surfaceslinger drained 87mAh
is that normal? to me it looks like a leak

You can see from the Alarms tab of BBS that Whatsapp is waking the device quite a few times an hour. You've got apps like that, as well as Drive, Facebook Messenger, and probably other Google services that are syncing while you're not using the phone. You didn't really leave the device long enough (less than two hours) to have enough statistics to analyse though.

[Q] Any tips to improve battery life?

Hey
I was wondering if you got any tips to improve battery life. I've tried to supply as much pictures as needed. I have greenify donation package with all experimental functions enabled and greenified every app which shows up on 'running on the background', I also have amplify pro version. Besides that I flashed franco kernel and flashed the modified google play service. Screen brightness is always around 10-30% and wifi/3G on all day.
http://imgur.com/a/HbJEI
Cheers!
Up? ?
I use greenify, could turn off WiFi when sleeping, but that may incur higher data charges, boeffla kernel. I heard you could turn off all vibrate settings to save battery life.

What would you class as great please?
Have you done the usual stuff like disabling/removing any apps you aren't using, manually syncing any apps that you don't rely on for notifications? Switch location services to battery saving if you haven't already. I try to avoid facebook apps (using a facebook browser app) for batteryand privacy reasons, the messenger app features quite highly in your wake stats.
You could try leandroid, to further manage wifi/mobile data connectivity. It can be set to come on at specific intervals to pick up any notifications/messages/etc, then swtich off again to conserve battery.

Automate IT to automate things like switching off wifi/data/sync at night, lots of different uses really good app and a bit more straight forward compared to Tasker.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=AutomateIt.mainPackage
Use BetterBatteryStats to identify if any apps are causing wake locks. Toggle mobile data, wifi, bluetooth off when not in use. Long press home and close running apps if you aren't using them. Try rebooting after re-charging.

I'm not doing anything special other than using Greenify to keep apps from running in the background when I don't want them to, and I use Privacy Guard to stop Google Play Services from keeping the phone awake.

Ok thanks. I've just got privacy guard do you have to set up profiles, or just go to Google play services with the app and disable it? Thanks

No profiles needed, you just go into Privacy Guard, enable built in apps, long press on Google Play Services, then disable the "wake up" and "keep awake" options. I'd highly recommend Greenify too, so many apps run in the background when you don't need them to and Greenify stops them dead in their tracks.

The only disadvantage I've found is that Google Now cards don't update your location very often. So if you rely on frequent location updating then this isn't the solution for you. Other than that everything works as it should for me.

[Q] Help! Google app is draining my battery!

Hi guys,
In the last few days google app is draining my battery. It is disabled for wake up and keep awake in privacy mode, I tried to calibrate the battery, nothing helps. Even when I put it on flight mode, the draining is insane!
I attached screenshots.
My phone is not rooted, and I cannot root it.
Thank you all in advance!
I uninstalled it. I do not ise the cards and voice assitant plus I am an old fashioned guy, using search function in Chrome. By the way I saw other people having this issue, but don't know if it was resolved.
Yeah same for me, mine has been draining so fast when the phone is idle too! I'm running xnph05q cm11.

As you have not rooted your bacon, only thing I can suggest you is that with the help of Privacy Settings, disable access for wake up and keep awake for the apps which are not oftenly used and also Google Play Services
Battery saver mode disables background services of the apps and lowers done the device performance
Combination of above stuffs can help you increase your battery life to some extend
Your GPS is not always ON as seen from the chart

Hi,
I already disabled wake up and keep awake for google services, google app, and other apps, nothing helps..

Something is keeping my device awake (and occasionally warm)

I have an Asus Zenfone 6 running 4.4.2 (yes, I know there's an upgrade out - I tried it and downgraded again because of performance issues).
Everything was going fine until a few days ago, when I did an app update (I set the store to notify instead of update by itself, because there are a few apps I want to hold back). Ever since then something is keeping the CPU awake all the time; battery life suffers, and when I use it the phone gets warm in no time, when it took some serious work to get it to do that earlier. It also occasionally slows down. Reboots don't seem to achieve much of anything.
A malware scan with malwarebytes got zero hits.
It's rooted and I have Better Battery Stats as well as Wakelock Detector and the onboard stats in the options menu, but I can't figure out what is doing this. Here are the screenshots (note that I have BBS set to Kernel Wakelocks by API, otherwise I get a permanent "no stats collected yet" screen on the kernel wakelocks menu):
BBS: Other
BBS: Kernel
BBS: Partial
BBS: Alarms
BBS: CPU states
WD: CPU wakelock
WD: Wakeup triggers
Battery utility
Power manager utility
What do I do now?
Do you mean the screen won't turn off?

I would factory reset it if there seems to be no way to fix it. Or u can try to back up ur apps to ur Google account u r using on the phone (sync it.) Then, u can factory reset it and try to restore the data u backed up.

No, the screen turns off.
I would really want to avoid a factory reset if at all possible.
Hmm... it may be the only way, I don't have any other methods/ideas... sorry... I'll try to think of some...
?
