All stock cm11s 05Q

That's why I went back to 44s

It might be an idea to roll back to the 44S build, test and see if it continues.

Ok thanks!

I had the same problem. Switched to 44s and seemed to be better. However what fixed the problem was not allowing Google play services wake up the device etc. In privacy guard! Also blocked Facebook messanger and right now I'm on 20h on battery and 59% battery left) with mid use. Nothing too heavy.

Restore the nandroid backup you made before you updated

Disable wake lock and keep awake for Google play services via settings>privacy>privacy guard and check if it solves the batter issue. For the phone not unlocking at times, check if you've enabled "Prevent accidental wake up" in Display. Having this turned on was a little buggy and what caused this problem for me back on cm11s.
Cheers

The issue with Play Services 7.x and CM11 is that it causes a SystemUpdateService update. This issue affects ALL custom ROMs with the SystemUpdateService disabled (I believe CM addressed this during the CM11 M4-M5 era).
You have 3 options.
1. This is a fix that many have proposed but I feel is a terrible idea
- Use Privacy Guard to disable Wake for Play Services
Rationale: Play services needs to wake up for other reasons too besides this ridiculous wakelock. It's used for background location when your phone screen is off for things like Google Now and location reminders. Disabling wake for Play Services is like cutting off the water main for a faucet leak. Sure the leak is no more but you can't flush the toilet or shower either.

2. This is a better fix proposed by me, but it requires Root and Xposed:
Download Wakelock Terminator
Filter for ONLY the SystemUpdateService wakelock for Play Services

3. IDEAL FIX:
Since CM11 has already had commits merged to address this Play Services 7.x issue, (see commits http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91881/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91882/), the best Corrective and Preventative Action that you can take is to build a fresh copy of CM11. Unfortunately, we haven't had nightly builds since January 5th, so if someone could undertake that task, it would be much appreciated.
CM12 has already implemented the necessary commits as well (see commits http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91021/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91579/), so an option if you're on CM12 nightlies is to move to something newer than the March 20th nightlies.

Google Play Services Update = Battery Drain

I've been troubleshooting my NS, trying to find out what's been causing my Android OS battery stats to constantly go around 50%, which causes major battery drain; I usually get 3+ hours of screen on time with my rasbeeanjelly ROM + Trinity kernel combo, but I now only get less than 1 hour.
I tried uninstalling most of my recently updated apps, but Android OS is still at ~50%; until I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Services. And now, my Android OS is back down to 4%.
Anyone had/having this issue? There's your solution.

The Google Play Services will auto update itself and your problem might come back, though. Are you using inverted gapps per chance?

I'm using stock gapps. I believe that the Google Play Services update that I initially installed was a manual update, not auto.

[Q] google now taking hell lot of battery

Hey guyz...need some help,
Google now is eating hell lot of battery and is not allowing my device to go in deep sleep mode. I don't want to disable google now but its wake ups in stand by mode are just killing my battery......I have installed appopsxposed and turned off the wake ups, it did work for some days but now it is now back again & taking too much battery.
Also I did tried clearing the cache and data but no help and hotword detection is also turned off.
I m now sick and tired of this thing but don't wanna disable it as it lets me check scores.
What you are experiencing is not normal. I keep all Google services, including Google Now, Location Reporting, Google Plus, etc., enabled all of the time, and still get 1-2%/hr. when idle.
Any BBS log would help. Are you using the newly released Gapps?

I m on rooted stock rom with gravity box, elemantal x kernel and even the location settings are turned off
and google play services 4.1.31
Most of the apps are also greenified.....so I tried my best to get max. battery on stand by but this google search.
Is it doing it constantly? I once had the same problem, but it got fixed with rebooting the phone. Google Now drained about 30% in less than 6 hours in my case.

Play Services - Always Awake, Fixed?

I had this problem, but have been reflashing my device in attempt to see if other ROMs have the same issues that I have been having in CM11S.
Yesterday, I went back to CM11S and have noticed that my device no longer stays awake constantly, and I don't seen to have any system apps draining large amounts of battery!
Did they fix this issue? Why would it just fix itself, I haven't changed anything in Privacy Guard or done anything to prevent it!?
My phone has been turned on for an hour, with 15 minutes screen on time, and it's still on 100% this is amazing!
It could be possible that Google fixed things on their end server side or that it was just a coincidence. I read about your post on Reddit too

CM 12 Nightlies Battery Issue with 'Android System' Very High CPU Usage

Hello guys,
First, I'm somewhat noob in all of this.
After keep on waiting for the cm12 OTA, I finally decided to root. Since I am very new to rooting game, I have done long and hard research about everything related to root, twrp, unlocking bootloader and supersu. Then I followed this guide step by step without missing a bit:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/
I downloaded and flashed these (following the guide)
cm-12-20150329-NIGHTLY-bacon - directly from cm website
and
gapps-lp-20150222-signed - from basketbuid
Everything went smooth without any problems.
But the battery started giving me the worse time ever I had with OPO. The culprit seems to be the 'Android System' which was taking my whole battery to sh*t even when the phone was idle with wifi and mobile data being turned off. It was keeping my phone (specially the CPU) awake the whole time. Then I downloaded Wakelock detector, greenify and tried everything that i found anywhere and everywhere, including the privacy guard with play services and others wake up feature being turned off, but nothing helped.
Here are some screenshots of bettery life

I newly re flashed CM 12s nightly (after wiping everything as a new OS) which is
cm-12-20150402-NIGHTLY-bacon
I left the phone as it is without installing the Gapps after installing the rom for couple hours and saw the battery was not draining while the phone was idle neither it was draining while the screen was on as it drained with Gapps being installed. Then I installed the Gapps from here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330.
And then it started again being "Android System" on the top of the list of battery usage.
What should I do now?
Anyone had/having the same issue?
Did I do anything wrong?
Thank you very much for reading this long post and any help in advance.
It's probably Google Play Services that's draining your battery, try this:

Better than AppOpps:
It's most likely the "SystemUpdateService" which constantly runs in the background with custom Roms. If your phone is rooted, download and install 'DisableService' app from Google Play and navigate to System>Google Play Services>SystemUpdateService and disable it. You have to do this everytime you reboot since it just tells you which services autostart and then you're able to disable them. This is a better fix than the AppOps option as you still need Google Play Services to run in the background. I had this same issue and this fixed it.

The only reason you need Play Services to run in the background is if you need your location updated every minute for Google Now cards. Every single other Google service runs perfectly being pulled instead of pushed.

This is more of a specific fix for a specific problem. This solution is like fixing the leak instead of turning off the water.

I have tried it, but nothing happens.
Thanks for the reply everyone.
what if i disable all the packages with 'Disable Service' app that is found under android system in the battery details page?
i.e
quickboot
pppreference
fused location
key chain
ant hal services
locationservices
dev tools
etc.
is that going to interrupt anything or damage the os in anyway?
have the same problem with cm12, tried different gapps, nothing helps.

[Help Required] Android System ( System_server) drain battery issue (5.1.1)

I know I am not the first one to post about this issue. I have searched, not only on xda, but some other websites. I just cannot find a solution. I am running 5.1.1 non rooted Stock ROM. I have tried everything. Enabled and Disabled a lot of settings. Nothing seems to work. 20% for that Android System is just too much. It started a week ago. Today I have Installed "Quick System Info PRO" and it shows that some "System_Server" is eating battery due to a high usage of RAM and Proccesor. See attachments please.
I am thinkg about updating my OPO, but I am not sure if this will help.
Did you find a solution? Do you know how to fix this? Please share your knowledge with me.
I used to plug and charge my OPO once every day and a half. But now I have to live with my charger inside my pockets because I am charging my phone every 10 hours.
There are any other apps? Also, try with android 6.0, might fix something.
Hi @srsdani.
Thank you for your reply. No. There are not any other apps eating battery. Mostly because I am at work, I use Whatsapp.
I should also mention that the phone gets super hot for no reason, like when you are playing a game after a long time. (Due to the intesive CPU usage).

I'm thinking is OS-related. But by doing some search you will find a lot of people with same issue. Even non-OPO users. I'm gonna give it a try anyway.! Thank you for your reply.

try better battery stats and correct firmware and recovery , if possible do everything in fastboot inc flashing
So, yeah, I got the most expected update, installed and worked great... Until some issues showed up, like lockscreen freeze, and now the "you can't see you WiFi power consumption" issue. I'm mad, I know WiFi was taking a huge piece of my battery ( tried some suggestions) but now a bug report appeared, and this is what I face today
Before it was like this
What should I do now? A clean install ?

Don t fast reboot
Shutdown your device and power on
Reboot enable system drain
Disable from security settings google administrator
Cyanogen device manager does the same
Also cyanogen statistic are not used any more to lollipop
Do not use greenify apps from version to version update has opposite results
If you want better battery use apps that will disable sensors and locationwhen device sleep
