The battery stats are consistently showing Android System (around 35%) and Android OS (around 15%) totaling just under 50% of battery usage, is anyone else seeing this and/or know how to reduce this?
WIFI and GPS off, location set to just wifi and mobile (with wifi and Bluetooth scanning off), Bluetooth and NFC on, and screen always on turned off.
Welcome to the world of Marshmallow, where battery sucks too, like Lollipop

The screen has been either the third or fourth down on my list. I can't figure out what is causing the drain though as I have any and everything disabled that normally kills the battery. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still getting more usage than with my S6 but it hurts knowing that I could be getting a lot more if the Android System and OS wasn't draining so much.

I have to say I've noticed the same. Are you using a ROM? Also,depending on your phone/ROM there may be a way to turn off ambient sensor. This is the option that marshmallow use to wake the phone when picked up, notified , ect. Its seems disabling this prevents a lot of system use and wakelocks. At least for me it does. Worth a shot.

Just stock Marshmallow on my S7 and I have all of that "smart" stuff disabled, like the smart stay to keep screen on while reading, gestures for various things, etc
I was coming here to try and figure out the same thing. Android OS and Android System are always #1 and #2 on my battery drain. I know I could get a LOT more life out of it if I could figure out why.

I'm thinking of being the guinea pig and sideloading the newest google play services to see if that helps. The one on our phones, or at least mine and my wife's, is old and made for lollipop and older. I'm not sure why we haven't gotten the marshmallow version.
The most recent 8.7.02 but we have 8.4.89.

Looks like:
8.7.02 (2624717-440) February 26, 2016 arm64 + arm Android 6.0+ nodpi
The -440 is the key here. The first 4 means marshmallow, the second 4 means arm64-v8a CPU architecture, and the 0 means universal dpi
I disabled VoLTE today and it seems to have helped. They have currently drained a total of 36% (down from 50%) so far. Android System used 20% (down from 35%) and Android OS using the same 15%.
I can't say for sure this is what caused the drop though because I'm also in an area with 4GLTE whereas every other day I was in an area with only 4G all day. So could having VoLTE enabled while not being connected to a LTE tower cause the Android System to drain the battery?

I had 10% loss in 6 hours sleep freaking amazing sad out of box performance.
The fix for me,

Yea but that is only 10% usage of battery. Wait another 8 hours and let us know.

Ive disabled like 30 packages and that is about as far as I'm comfortable going without someone else here being able to identify what each of the packages are used for. Will see if this does anything. I'm down 25% already in just about 4 hours with 30 min SOT and 20 min of voice calls.

Yes true another 8 hours would have been ugly.
Disabling device Nearby Scanning seems to had did the trick 4hr 1% loss , Unfortunately I didn't take System Usage screen shot of change made.
As far as disabling packages , that can do more harm then good they work off each other.
Your best bet start from scratch hard boot back to basic disables no 3rd party app installs & go from there

Hey there,
I'm getting a huge battery drain, when my phone crashes.
Can someone interpret what could be going on at 06:00AM (unfortunately betterbatterystats won't show anything)?
It stopped using the phone at 04:00AM and started using it again at 08:50AM, so there must be some activity while idle (WLAN issues?).
Thanks a lot!
PS: ROM: nonsense Build-5 / Elemental 2.1 Kernel at 1,5Ghz

At one point you turned the device off - after restart it was lower on battery, then you stopped using it as much, then used it again (still on WiFi)
As mentioned, I stopped using it at ~ 04:00AM. I wasn't awake while the graph began going down.

The ringed bit says its in use but you say it isn't so I guess a ghost is using it or you are.
Edit, and the white/grey line in the middle looks like a reboot.
Edit, hmm to me it could be the odd battery drain that pops up here and there and a reboot fixes it and on yours its draining but your phone is not liking it for some reason and reboots which in turn fixes the bug but this is based on you not using it like you say.
Duo you have someone else with access to the phone. Maybe someone used it while you were sleeping cause the graph says it was active with the screen on.

I also thought that but why the reboot its on both of his pics.
Edit, hahaha they both the same pic but still why the reboot if someone was using it.
---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------
Think I sort of know what's up if no one really used it. As you see the wifi is off and thats down to HTC thinking thats its a good idea to force data off at night. The issue starts at the time data should come back on like it does in the pic but I think its bugging out which then drains it but the part that is bugging out is at guess spamming the cpu with something and locking it up. This if I remember right other people have also said they had a crashing in the morning.

If the cpu outs getting spammed why would there be little times during the drain where the phone goes inactive and the screen shuts off? If something was pegging the cpu, the active bar would have been solid, no?

Ya I would agree to that but it does depend on what is really happening and now for some reason I thinking its the wifi and could maybe explain the issues with wifi people are having and the morning reboots and maybe even the random ones but all of this depends on the phone not really been used buy someone but even going with someone was using it why would they reboot the phone.
Try another go through with this and try to replicate what you did when you first checked the battery chart.

There really were no ghosts or other people in the room
I updated my Radio to 1.11 and it seems to be pretty solid now. Cpuspy shows to me that everything is fine (high deepsleep share). Is there an HTC Wifi fix for the mentioned issues?

Hello..So far loving my nexus 5, but I have noticed that GPS is not it's strongest feature. While driving around town with Google maps navigation it was going all over the place and rerouting every few minutes. So I also started using my gs3 to compare and it was rock solid.
Also I used GPS test app to see how many satellites it was connecting to...it was seeing around 20 to 21 satellites but connecting to only 6 or 7 of them. While gs3 connects to 12 to 15.
Has anybody else tested the GPS? Any way to solve this? I use my phone as my primary navigation device, so I want it to be as reliable as possible.
Please let me know if anybody else was able to get this working.
Thank you

I've set my location finder to not use GPS and only use data and wifi hot spots, ie "battery saver". It seems to be working correctly.

+1 And, it's good for getting better battery life - extending its overall run time.
GPS constantly pinging & reporting/tracking its location is not battery friendly, besides I don't need Google server or intel agencies to get frequent metadata update while I'm going about my daily routine, ya know - it's essentially a mobile device and not LoJack.
But, you might want to use GPS Status from Play Store to help tweak how GPS download & use the data, set mine & it has a quick 5 seconds locking with 3 to 5 satellites indoor, and 17 or 18 signals within 20 seconds or so.
I also have the GPS problem, which makes playing ingress impossible. Setting it to GPS only helps a little bit, but the problem still persists

There's a new MJE update for Verizon with lots of bug fixes. dunno about the battery life.
Hope they bring updates to N9000 and fix the damn battery !
good update！
I just flash this new firmware yesterday..Look like the battery usage look not so good.(Dirty charging- 40% i already charge my pone)
Previously in idle 3 to 4hour drop 1%.

I have a experience about charging battery @stanley08 and @layercake87
Try use your phone untill battery totally 0% or until shutdown itself then charge to 100%. Dont 4get instalFull Battery & Theft app(set the alarm to 100% alert)
Must test 3 to 4 cyccle..
DONT OVER CHARGE..Just try and see the battery performance how. I already text on my frien NOTE 1..He say very useful..

Trust me mate! I have tried all of BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, GSam Battery Pro and the number one culprit is Android OS. Which means.. It's the ROM. Even on BBS, AudioOut is the highest wakelock of around 1.4% or so and of course it's normal to have that wakelock as it has to to with notification sounds and stuff.

Lol. Touching story! Still trying to fix my Note 3 battery issue.
Guys I only have BT_bt_wake which won't let my phone to go to deep sleep.
Anyone knows what's this? it comes from Android OS.
Searched the web a lot but didn't find any answer.
It's related to bluetooth? if yes, my bluetooth is turned off but still BT_bt_wake is still there

7% is a lot dude. Mine in the starting only used to drop 1-2 % over night. My wifi is always on.
But with the new update I get only 4 hours of on screen time.
i don't have any problem on MK2 SM900. It last over 2 days from 100% with heavy internet usage on the 1st day and on the second day just slightly turning on and off my data just to check my whatsapp and gmail. Strange
This is pretty bad with each new updqte my battery life decreases by half an hour, when I bought the phone I used to get 5 hours 50 minutes of screen time, then with the next one I got 5 hours 20 minutes, and with the recent update I am getting 4 hours and 30 minutes, sometimes if I play games I get only 3 hours and 40 minutes of on screen time.
Samsung please fix this also it seems android os & google services are killing the battery.

Hi guys,
Having an unbelievable issue with wakelocks destroying my battery, but this is a bit different from the usual stuff you hear about, just read on:
I came from an S4, my wife bought a Nexus5 recently and I was already done with my S4, with all of it's bloat and stuff I don't use (only the camera made me stay but eventually I broke..),and on top of that, sice I upgraded my S4 to 4.4.2 it began having battery issues, it would stay awake all the time, making the phone die in ~7 hours.. so after ALLOT of attempts to figure this out, I decided to start fresh, get rid of the S4 and get a nexus5.
To my surprise, as soon as I finished configuring my N5 (unlock, root, bootloader, xposed+gravity box, the usual apps, nothing fancy) it began experiencing the same battery wake lock drain. now, my wife's N5 is absolutely the same as mine, maybe an app here and there are not the same but I'm not running anything unconventional, I have Beautiful widgets, the usual Google stuff, exchange email etc. Google play services is waking up my device every minute, it drops from a fully recharged battery to 90% in an hour and a half. I've had my wife's phone and mine side by side to compare - same os version, same radio etc.same settings in location are active (location reporting and location history), same location accuracy, same google play services vrsion, same settings in google+ and google now, same everything! I disabled location reporting for now to see it this will have any affect, but this is absolutely driving me nus. why do I need to go through this ordeal, when another nexus 5 is experiencing great battery life while everything is enabled, it will sleep all the time if screen is off.

Sorry i didnt notice that. Doh.
Well in that case download this -

And make Google play services look like this and see if it makes a massive difference -

To tell you the truth I'm a bit hesitant in trying these kind of solutions, yes maybe they could make a difference, but I am tired of messing around with everything just to get a decent experience. I need to know why do 2 perfectly identical N5's experience such astronomical battery differences. And that means I have no choice but to start comparing the two (my wife's and mine) side by side with a needle..
You can always just tick them again if ever wanted. And just so you know. I don't get any Google play drain now and everything works fine. All your doing is removing the stupid permissions gms core wants but doesn't actually need
My battery right now. (gonna charge it at 1% lol)

Thanks allot for the info, I'll try it if I see my temporary solution isn't working.. Seems that if I turn off "location reporting" the wakelocks go away, now I need to find what's different between my settings and my wife's settings location wise, it's definitely something that "came" with me before I bought the nexus 5, it's some setting I have deep withing google..

There won't be any difference, Google have just f**ked up basically. My missus's phone without being set like those settings absolutely hammers her battery (like yours) , yet mine shows about 6% use over the day. But with the boxes unticked shows none so i do it anyway. Otherwise all settings are the same from what I can tell. It did my head in too trying to sort hers out

I'ts absolutely driving me nuts.. I've been trying to find out what's the problem for more than a month now, unbelievable.. but I still think it has something to do with something I have connected\set\changed with Google somehow.. with my S4 I've reset, completely wiped, changed roms, and the issue was still there, now moving to another phone, still.. so it has to be something to do with my Google account
Do a backup and wipe all and Start a new Google account to test?
My missus changed absolutely nothing, was literally just one day it decided "hey I'm gonna ass rape your battery from now on" and that was it

I can relate buddy.. You've given me an idea tough, I'll set up a new Google account, and test it on my s4 which is not in use right now.

I'm having similar issues with Google play services preventing my phone from sleeping. I've tried the suggestions in this thread, I've also give through other threads and tried them, but over the last 3 or 4 days when there was an update to Google search, my battery has suffered massively!
I'm not sure what else I can do
I've tried turning off all location settings, I don't use Google now and I've even set Greenify to hibernate most of the Google stuff. I'm constantly seeing the message Google search has been greenified when I switch my display on

Go to settings > location > google location reporting > TURN OFF "location reporting" (leave location history on). charge it over night and check battery usage after a day's use.

Hey,
I have seen that some parts of the Google account could not be properly synced.
Could this be the battery drain hanging out together (as this is also part of Google Play Service)?
At least the error always occurs with the battery drain.

Everything is possible.. What exactly do you mean by "not properly synced"? My friend is experiencing the same behavior even after disabling location reporting.. Anyway.. This is the Google saga we've all been fighting with for as long as I can remember..
I've also seen Google not syncing properly a couple of times today. Had to manually force it to sync. Might be what's causing the wakelocks. Gonna keep an eye out for it from now on.

Impressive.
Is that Clean Master the Anti Virus or cache cleaner?
i wouldnt mind rooting mine, but i bought it retail so i could try out the phone and return it before the return policy ... im that guy. but nonetheless i will probably get it in a little bit with my plan since i am on a business plan. But when not rooted, battery it looks like, compared to those that are, just cannot compare. I am barely squeezing 4 hours of screen time on a charge that will last me all day. I would hope to do a little bit better.
Today i went from 10am and it is now 415pm. i am at 66% with 1 hour and 40 mins screen time ... personally, that's pretty ehhh My nexus 5 with Android L got better than that. sooooo anyone else that IS NOT rooted getting the same results as me or doing a lot better or worse??
That's about what I was getting before I switched to ART. Phone seems to run cooler on ART too.

the cache cleaner, i dont use an av on my phone.
today i went to a client site and i talked on the phone almost all the way there and back,
i have been on battery for 4 hours 4 min, 1 hr talk time, 1 hr screen time, and gps for about 20 minutes and i am still at 83%... i removed all the lg stuff i wont use and only allowed things to run with greenify that i wouldnt use and i still have all network apps (google now, life360, tasker, etc) all working 100%

Rooting it shouldn't effect returning it, just wipe it to stock and remove superuser

I seem to have the opposite from many. My phone seem to be running hot anyone having this experience?

The on screen time was 2 hours I think. I played a few games last night for about 30 min before bed at 230am and it was about 42% battery when I went to bed

Yes I do feel it is very hot and I hate the dim that it does...but battery isn't bad
I can confirm that phone runs hot when screes has been on for a while
Not rooted
Running Greenify
Auto-brightness at 60%
Always on: WiFi, BT, push everything
I am considering root to remove some apps and kill CIQ, and perhaps change the resolution all in an effort to get more out of the battery but I am not sure I will squeeze too much more out of it.
