Hello,
I am on ParanoidAndroid 4.4 and the battery drain is killing me. I have to charge my phone at least twice a day if I'm outside just because I'm scared of having my phone die on me. I was on stock 4.4.3 up until recently but the sudden wakelocks at random times would kill me so I switched to PA to at least have a few extras like Hover and its even worse now. I'm using ElementalX kernel now because of how amazing the battery life is supposed to be but I am almost crying :'(
I have noticed that if I turn WiFi off, the phone will go to sleep without any problems but turn it on and it'll stay up all night and all day draining the battery 2% every 5 minutes of use. It appears GoogleSearch is the culprit but I'd like some more help on this.
I have uploaded some screenshots if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Disable Google Now and Greenify it. If it's a system app, I recommend using a minimal gapps package. Like the one from my signature.
If that's still not good enough, Greenify WhatsApp and Viber. We need to see if they are the cause. I suspect something else is the issue, but let's rule out your top 3.
Oh I almost forgot. Thank you for posting a BBS log without being asked.

Greenify won't allow me to hibernate it since its a System app and asks me to buy the donate package. Also, I'm on ART so Xposed doesn't work for me. Is there a workaround?

Then change it to a user app with Titanium Backup, etc lol. If you installed it from the Play Store it would be a user app, it's installed as a system app if it's flashed in a gapps package. Shouldn't have any problems moving it. You could also Greenify it for free if you did that..

You said you are on PA. You need to wipe system, reflash PA, then flash the Banks minimal gapps in my signature. Then download Google search from play store. Google Now is now user app and can Greenify it. After you do that, send another BBS log.
You will also need Nova launcher or similar. Banks gapps doesn't come with a launcher.
OK guys....look at this I found.
Last night I enabled the new "OK google from any screen" option, in Google settings, OK Google hotword detection.
Then after only after I woke up (didn't charge...I charged before bed) look what I saw....held awake time on Google search, which I've never gotten before.
So a couple hours ago I turned from any screen option off.....no more held awake time on search.
So guys with Google search out of control.....that might be the issue.
Too bad too....I liked that new feature, but Google gone messed it up.....again.

Sadly, this is to be expected at this point.
I think like double tap to wake.... If it isn't on the low voltage core, like moto x always listening is, its never gonna be battery friendly. But people wanted....they got it...kinda. Better than having to be on a certain screen anyway. Just now audio in is listening to every sound it hears.
Hii,
I have n° 2 nexus 5 16 gb:
- 4.4.4
- everything stock
- restored defoult
- without application
- without settings configuration: they are the same original settings
- without sim card
- charged in same time from 0% to 100%
- the two phones are part of the same lot
- no wifi connection
- no 3g signal
I noticed an abnormal consumption using the 2 device, sooo:::
I tried to keep them on the table and the batteries are consumed in different ways:
After 1 hour, the first is still 100%, the second is 97%
after a about 3 day the first nexus is 40%, the second is at 1%
same screen on/off
please, what I can do?
Install GSAMbattery and check what's eating the battery
I have to install in bouth 2 nexus 5?
and after??

Installed and now ?????
I should be able to solve it by tomorrow because I need the phone for travel.
Otherwise I just have to throw the nexus 5 in the toilet (really) and back to the Apple Iphone.
If I have a problem Apple changes the cell in less than one hour.
With google I have to wait 40 days (bought in a mall).
Check what's using your battery, likely an app. Check for apps that have been held awake in app usage stats. You can then use greenify or appopsx to tame that app

I wrote that I have no application installed or not ...... did you read my first post??
Gmail, Google search etc are all apps, right? It's probably an app being kept awake by wakelock. Use GSAM Battery monitor to check what is eating up your battery
in 24 min I have battery at 95%
But the 2 nexus 5 are the same: is possible that the first N5 eat battery and the second N5 no?
In my experience with using nexus 5, the biggest culprit is most of the time Google search so I just use greenify and appopsX

try this it works for me
1-go to settings -sync (tick Google ) then remove all check mark (gmail sync,pisca .....)
do the same if you have WhatsApp account, viper .....
2-after install gsam app see your wakelocks it should look like this
open app usage then stop apps that drain a lot of battery
in my case I would disable Google plus ,Google play stand

but I need to do that in all 2 nexus 5?
I dont need to do a change in only one of n5 ..... the n5 are the same and one eat battery the other one no eat battery:
when I reinstall 4.4.4 the 2 n5 must be the same with the same battery..... I think
I dont need to resolve problem orf the one N5 ......... i need to do not generate the problem after reinstal the operative sistem .......
Just use the battery monitor to check what's killing your battery and you still haven't done that

I don't know but this tips helps me I just want shear it with you ... may I ask you when the battery drain when you using it or when screen off ?
I have that:
Looking at your screenshot. It seems too soon to know the app causing that. You monitor it for a while or greenify or disable the apps that have been suggested.
Sorry sorry sorry ...... I need to repeat the problem
2 nexus 5, same in all (really all)
all stock
no sim card
the n5 are the same
same original settings after install 4.4.4
no root
original recovery
bootloader unlocked
If I put timeot display to 30 minutes:
after hours the first N5 have 100% battery , the second N5 have 90%
now......
I need to not generate the problem by original.... without other app because the 2 N5 are the same OK????
Hey all!
Has anyone else been experiencing a much higher battery drain with 4.4.3? It's not only me but a bunch of friends and family with the M8 have been experiencing drains when by the end of the day they would have 50% but now it's getting down to 10% or even lower. For me, it will sit on my desk during class and drain a minimum of 15%. Classes are about an hour and a half.
Any tips? It's getting really hard to keep the phone plugged in.
Install Better Battery Stats app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) . Let it run for a day and see what's killing your battery. I have a feeling its services within Google Play services. I used "Disable Services" app and "Autorun Manager" app to stops alot of play services from sucking my battery.
I wouldn't say I'm getting significant battery drain going from 1.8 viper Rom 4.4.2 to 2.5 viper 4.4.3 w/ firmware but it is noticeable. Also DS battery saver is good, especially if your in low 4g areas all the time

Also check out unbounce if you use xposed, works great.

You seen that google play is killing your battery using the wake lock app? Just wondering or what were you using to see this?
suggestion
After any OTA or official update, its a most perform a factory reset* from Stock recovery.
Follow these steps
So Google Play Serveries suck most of our battery up. I use two apps to stop certain Google play receives from running. From installing the app "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) you are able to see what wakelocks are draining your phone (Both kernel and partial wakelocks). First app to install is "Disable services." In this app go to Google Play services and disable (some of these are default disabled):
- AnalyticsServices
- GcmServices
- SyncService
- PlayLogBrokerservice
- PackageBroadcastService
- InitialzeInternetService
- UserPresence
- GeofenceProviderService
Now install the app "Autorun Manager." Click on "Advance Mode." Go into settings and make sure "Show system entries" is unchecked. In the advance mode scroll down to "Google Play Services" and disable (some of these are default disabled):
- .gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Reciever
- ..gms.checkin.EventLogService$Reciever
- .gms.CheckinService$TriggerReciever
- .gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Activereciever
- .gms.mdm.recieiver.ActivateDeviceAdminUponUnlockreciever
- .gms.checkin.CheckinService$Reciever

- .gms.mdm.recievers.AccountsChangedReciever
- .gms.checkin.checkinService$SecretCodeReciever
-. gms.app.receiver.OneTimeInitializerReciever
From doing this...I have 1% drain from all of Google Play Services. When Google Play services updates from time to time, you might have to go back and disable these receivers. On this phone, I am able to get 6 hours of screen time. This is on about 30% 4G and 70% Wifi on a daily basis. Took me some trial and error to disable these services. My setup makes nothing FC at all! Hope this helps. You will yield amazing battery life!

I installed it and it just showed 2 apps on the screen I assumed those were supposed to be the ones draining my battery one was google play other was my data manager. Since it only showed those two shouldnt those be the ones it chose were draining my power ?
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.

For chrome, you can do the same thing as suggested above
Android OS and Android System.. You can't do anything with it.. If you play with them, you'll end up making your system malfunctioning..

So do you suggest to uninstall updates only for a few days and then update it again from Google play?

Hi there,
Until I will have a report regarding your previous suggestion, can you please take a look at my screenshots and tell me why the GPS is always on when I am on battery saving all the time?
Something is draining my battery, I get only 2:30 SOT, in the best case, without games videos music or even phone calls.
Thanks a lot!

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..
Bought the XZs for almost one month. The battery performance seems not as good as expected. It seems even worser than my old phone, LG G2. I tried to change a new XZs and the same problem exists.
Phone Idle always take around 20% of the battery use. Stamina mode is one and 2-3% is gone even the phone is not in use. The same issue even happened in safe mode. And fast charge is not fast at all...
Googled some posts and found that some people, XZ users, experienced the same issue. I have tried uninstalled Facebook and Messenger. Seems not help.
Just downloaded betterbatterystat, I hope can find some cues there later. But if anyone can advice why
You installed betterbatterystats? That requires root right? Which isn't available yet I believe... Guess we'll have to wait for root to investigate this
Seems like this is Android 7.1.1 Nougat's problem.. Is it the Android OS percentage is very high in the battery usage list? Many Nexus devices also having this problem.. My XZs can only get nearly 3 and half hrs of SOT omg, seems like the doze is not working well, saw massive of wakelocks during screen off..

nougat's problem...but seems not seeing people raised this problem in the internet , so i am still not sure if it is my own problem or not..:silly:
my top 4 usages:
screen 20% (screen opened 1hr 35min)
phone idle 16%
chrome 9%
android os 9%
the battery power dropped around 30% after 12 hours and i might just used the phone for around 1.5 hrs only.

Hey guys, after some researches and testings, seems like my XZs is having good battery life now. What I did was go to Chrome > Settings > Site Settings > turn off the Background Sync option. Now my latest full charge gives me 2hrs 43mins SOT with 49% battery left, with 1 hr gaming. Hope this helps, good luck everyone

I've been using Xperia XZs HK version for about 2 weeks.
I use an app call "Brevent" to keep background apps in standby mode when they're not active.
I think there're also some issue with Doze mode on Xperia phones, it drains battery more than I thought......
Then I found an app call "Force Doze" to force it go straight in Doze mode while I shut the screen off.
Now it only cause 1% per hour while I shut the screen off and leave WiFi or LTE on.
Or 1% per six hour while I shut screen off and keep the phone in Airplane Mode(very useful at night).
By the way, both "Brevent" and "Force Doze" does not require ROOT, but they need adb for authorizing their activities.

I've been using Xperia XZs HK version for about 2 weeks.
I use an app call "Brevent" to keep background apps in standby mode when they're not active.
I think there're also some issue with Doze mode on Xperia phones, it drains battery more than I thought......
Then I found an app call "Force Doze" to force it go straight in Doze mode while I shut the screen off.

No, it doesn't.
Brevent only kills process and prevent them from running in background while you have already swiped the app from "recent apps". It does not affect background activities of apps which are currently in "recent apps".
For those apps which requires sync service (for example, "Gmail"), you can set them to "allow sync" in Brevent.
Then these apps would be allow to sync in background periodically, instead of allowing them all the time.

cool, it really helps a lot during screen off! it just took 1 % when i wake up.
I do not have the Problem. All sync enabled, Bluetooth on, really much apps installed. At end of day 37% remaining. Its impressive. 41.2.A.0.219.

I also have the same issues and the charging being terribly slow there also isnt any double tap to wake screen so i cant turn on the screen to look at the time comfortably without unlocking the phone
