If you are experiencing that level of drain while your phone should be idling, dont worry. It is a common issue and there is a fix available. Quite certain root is necessary thought, if not to flash, to change permissions.
The fix is here

I had already done this fix a few weeks back. Not sure how it could've come back but I suppose it's possible as I have been tinkering with my phone. Thanks for the help!

Sad to say that fix did not work. My phone lost about 50% battery while I was asleep.

Trying to understand a supposed battery problem. Maybe wireless.

Alright so the past couple days I have been trying to determine and figure out more about why I am having SOD problems. Yes I understand there is a thread for the SOD but something still bugs me on account a friend of mine has no SOD problems with the same wifi model.
While I haven't had an SOD for a couple days something else hasn't been sitting well in my stomach and that's the battery usage... All of a sudden Android OS is using a significant amount of battery. Much higher than the screen and I don't remember that happening before...
So I downloaded better battery stats and let the tablet sit for about 30 to 40 minutes and her are the results. I am hoping someone will see something out of the ordinary and point me in a good direction.
One I thing I see is that the wifi is on a lot and ar6k_wow seems to to be on a decent amount too. Next test will be removing the Facebook app despite me having it set to no notifications or syncing and see how things pan out since I know the Facebook app is notorious for battery drainage.

{Help} Battery troubles still

I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

I went from 10.1 cm to 10.2 then I started again with the stock and put the TheFrankestain ^ MOD

Please help me :crying:
Few months back I had battery curve somewhat like this.
I guess an old battery. Battery calibration will smoothen the curve.
I faced the same problem a weeks back.. the only way to solve such problem is by doing a proper battery caliberation, just google it to find more info on it..,
a new battery will solve your problem I had this problem last month but when I bought new battery I forgot about this bug

[Q] Abrupt battery drain

I'm using CM11 and have had a battery problem over the last couple months, spanning several versions.
I posted in the CM11 Q&A thread and no one seemed to have the same problem, so I'm guessing it's not the software.
Last night I had the problem occur while I was actually using the phone.
Every other time it happened while I wasn't using it.
The phone had 100% battery at ~5pm, and at 10:45pm it simply shut off when it should have had over 60% left.
I couldn't get it to turn on without charging it, and when I finally got it started it was at 4%.
The phone didn't get hot at all, so I have no idea where the power went.
Any ideas?

There are many other ROMs. Try cryptecs ROMs. They're stable and maintained pretty much daily.
Sounds like a dodgy battery to me, no amount of changing ROMs is gonna be able to fix that. I had a similar problem with my Evita, these days it won't stay powered on unless it's connected to a power source. Really takes the 'mobile' out of mobile phone.

Question Android Never Idle

People,
I have a problem with my A52 because it never gets idle in bedtime.
I've configured a Bixby routine to stop sync and all internet connectivity but the problem continues.
Also installed gsam battery but I have doubt how to locate the service that is causing the behavior.
Could you help me?
How many hours are you getting out of one charge cycle? And how many hours of screen on time are you getting?
We could compare and see if you really have a problem and it might become obvious as to what is causing it too.

Thank you!
I'll get the data from a regular usage day and share here to compare.

24-28 hours is about as much as I get myself, and I see that you've got 1d 3h 46min which is about 27 hours. So I'd say its fine.
