I can't win vs battery drain!

I used to run AOSP JB (_thalamus kernel) with every possible sync turned off (except contacts, calendar and browser) so as to maximize Deep Sleep.
I had Google Location off, location reporting off and a weather widget with a manually set city. I had deleted Talk and had no 3rd party maps app installed.
My phone would sleep great overnight (-6%) and then every time i left my house it would drain insanely (-20% per hour) without being used.
For the time being, i'm back on Rascream, but i'd really wanna join the party with JB, what could i do? (to better diagnose or...)

Did you have Google now disabled? That's a battery killer.

It would be easier to diagnose if you were running it right now...

I got it Nand-ed, so i can go back and try new things, but i had run out of ideas of what to do.

Have you try running Better Battery Stats to pinpoint what has been devouring your battery?

Are you online via 3G mobile data? That's a huge battery drainer. Try switching to 2G only mode especially if you don't plan on doing some hard core browsing. Or better yet, turn off mobile data and switch to 2G mode when possible for maximum battery savings.
Another thing you can try is start from a clean install, with only the ROM and all the system apps that came with it. Disable the apps you don't use, like GoogleNow for example, then add your favorite apps one by one, and see what is causing more than normal battery drain.

I used to have that. Disabled Google Now, logged out of Latitude (log in then out), Locations services w/ cell tower and gps disable and I used Autostarts app to disable ANY automatic start of Maps. No problem since.
Edit: Oh and that's nothing too crazy by the way. Not exactly a battery killer.

It turned out to be 20% per hour only when leaving home (somehow the phone knew i was moving around and it just wouldn't have none of that). While sleeping, it would stay in deep sleep for 90-95% of the night.
I am not having any issues on ICS and it kinda seems cumbersome to use an app to prevent another app from starting, although i understand the idea.

I know. The last step might be extreme, but that's all I did to save myself. Otherwise sometimes maps would go crazy and just consume battery for no apparent reason.

Hi,
You mentioned everything but turning off your Data. I live in a horrible area with only 1 maybe 2 bars and it totally drains battery much faster.
I leave it off until i need it, plus I have everything off that you mentioned including Google now(it has its own settings which you can turn off as you are in the actual app)
IIm currently running DaXmax's JB Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824381
and I have good to great battery life once I turned off everything like you did.
But I guess first try the DATA off issue and maybe it will help with your ROM
Or
try what other person said and run the ROM bare to see if its the ROM or an App you have that could be draining your battery
Good luck

Considering that i'm not changing the radio when switching from ics to jb, nor am i having low bars on jb, i don't see how data could be the source of the drain. (nor am i willing to run a ROM without data).
Thanks for all you replies (i've thanked you all) and i'll try to Autostarts app when i get the chance.

Autostarts is a great application. I always use it to keep Maps under control.

[Q] Moto G idle battery drain

Hi,
I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.
My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.
This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.
The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.
Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.
The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.
Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?

What kind of battery do you have?

What kind of battery I do not know - I did not change anything on this phone and as far as I know the battery can not be removed. I bought the phone in early January 2014, it was one of the cost to be delivered and still had the previous android version (4.3?) back then.

Go to developer Options in settings and if you do not have this option then go to About Phone and tap 5 times on Build Date or number (should be last one) then go to "PROCESS STATS" which is under "ENABLE BLUETOOTH HCI SNOOP LOG" and when you are at process stats click on the three dots on top right and change the duration for 1 day and then you might be able to find the application that is running in the background constantly, mine is Facebook lol and Facebook Messenger....

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.

Just search wakelock detector on Play store and it should be the first application there. The qcamera2factory is a wakelock inside of the "Media Server" wakelock. Check how long your device has been on for and how much screen on time you have and compare to how long you have had deep sleep, if you have like 10 hours of on time and 1 hour of screen on time you should have about 9 hours of Deep sleep, if it is anything weird like 1 hour or 2 hours then you have something preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector is this it ?

Hmm... No app like that (Skype etc.) is running on my phone. Could it be the camera app itself? Never had any issues with that before though.
My phone is not rooted. I just want to use it in place and not think about it too much. Researching which is the best path to root for Moto G was to mich for me back when I bought it and I have been happy with it or if the box - so far...

here was my stats after one night. kernel wakelock
CPU wake lock

in kitkat, wakelock policy was changed and you cant clearly see any system wakelock without root (i have tried many apps like wakelock detector and there is nothing to see in compare with Jelly Bean 4.3)
i had this annoying battery idle drain - it happened randomly, sometimes battery ran 7 days with light usage of phone but sometimes 30-40% was gone in 24 hours = 1-2%/h
i didnt have any apps installed like Skype, Facebook, or any other "keep awake" app - i also set up my gps, wifi settings, nothing helped
i also switched to ART runtime..again, didnt help
i decided to switch back to factory Jelly Bean 4.3 - you CAN flash stock ROM without unlocking bootloader (im locked without root) and now im running 4.3 with battery drain 0,1-0,4%/h in idle...battery life is now amazing - final battery drain is always ~0,6%/h (light usage)
im charging my phone from 30% to 80% and now it enough for 3 days ! for my 6h night it is only 1-3%
in background i have 3 apps running for battery monitoring (battery hd, batterydrain [analyser], gsam battery monitor) and few schedule apps...i disabled unnecessary apps like motocare and few other google/motorola apps
yes, im missing better alarm (kitkat), better RAM (now i have 60-100MB less...but if 380MB free or 460MB free...it doesnt matter for me) and some other little things that everything i can handle for MUCH MORE BETTER battery :good:

Mine drains 10% when it's in plane mode per hour...
But others days can last longer for at least 8-9 hours of screen time.

Is your phone running hot? I've had a problem with some custom kernels that caused my phone to run hot and drain fast without any visible signs.

this is after some time. im concerned by the second one on the list because it has Wheelock's at the end of name and it has x1441

I just rooted the thing and installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor. Now I'm down to 0,3-0,4%/h. That is fine for me.
It is a bit sad that it had to come to this but that is how the world works these days, I guess. Isn't it amazing how mch technology we can fit in these small packages?

0,3-0,4%/h is amazing !
im on 0,34%/h as final result now (BatteryDrain [Analyser])
yesterday i ended 5 days cycle on 53% battery i charged to 82% then with very light usage i need to charge after 5 full days (120 hours) on 29% (= no idle battery drain)
this idle battery drain is not hardware related, its issued by (stupid) KitKat - i really dont believe that it will be fixed in any next release (4.4.x or 5)
im enjoying JellyBean 4.3 much more than KitKat - all you need is flash stock system image WITHOUT unlocking bootloader/root/losing your warranty

[Q] Abnormal battery drain while deep sleep

Hi guys as per title, my OPO drain battery like crazy during deep sleep. Like I unplugged at 1am (100%) then today I wakeup 10am now it left (89%) only, drained 11%!!! WiFi, Data all off just normal standby only.
Is there something wrong with my OPO? Because before that it only drained 1-2% with the same deep sleep duration.
No wakelock, awake or whatever, probably the battery faulty already? I just got it 1 month ago only, how could be so fast???

How come your phone sleeps? Did you patch the Google Services 'Always awake' bug yourself?

Same thing is happening to me except it's more severe. I'm not sure if it's because I put it onto airplane mode or not. Lost 25% overnight and phone was completely dead...
BTW I disabled quiet hours and I've done the disabling of the Google framework update thing and wake lock.

I have a "similar" drain problem, but it's different :cyclops:
Stock CM11s is really fine, i lose 0.2% or 0.3% per hour onernight in flight mode (or without simcard)
But all variant of Nightlies, Slim, Mahdi... I can't get descent battery life.
Still near 1% per hour, too much for me !
It's probably not a rom related problem, but perhaps a GApps drain problem.
I usually have BaNks GApps, latest minimal ones.
I must do a test, fresh flashing a custom rom, without GApps to isolate problem, to see drain without Google services.

Is there a tasker option for it, i dont want to turn off and on tap to wake ^^

here is my drain disabled all google play services on the screen shot an hour has been drained look at the shots awake and screen on time

Just an update, after following two threads about disabling the google services it seems to finally work. So it has nothing to do with double tap. Dropped one percent over 7 hours
With airplane mode on. No drain. Will try again tonight to make sure it's not just luck.

Huh? That's like saying the screen is a hardware feature so it can't drain battery. It's incorrect. The double-tap to wake feature is heavily dependant on the kernel, and in some circumstances can (and has been proven to) drain battery.

The implementation is supposed to be done right on the oneplus but nevertheless I'll try disabling it again. In fact all gestures. Even on the m7 with a more hacky wake features, I never saw more than 5% drain overnight.

I run about 3 different tools to ensure my battery is used the way i want it.
1. Greenify - this will hibernate and auto hibernate apps when not in use. I also use the Xposed to boost it more with experimental features.
2. Wakelock Detector - Almost a must if you are having drain issues. This app will tell you the culprit each time
3. Titanium Pro - Freeze crap that wont go away.
I had the play services issues before. I went to my settings -> accounts -> sync options for each and toggled off the play store. I also went into apps/play services and cleared data/cache. I remember it didn't go away entirely and I found that Google + was one of the issues. That and I had a sync error that wouldn't go away. After removing my google accounts and re attaching them, i monitored with wakelock.
After that it went away. I then had a calendar drain with calendar storage from a widget that woke up a beast. Greenified it, froze it and that is gone while not affecting my calendars.
Anways, point of my post is to advise you to run those 3 apps. If you only run 1, wakelock is fantastic. I highly recommend all.

Very good tips from @tehpud .. to add onto it
BetterBatteryStats and Gsam are two other good wakelock detecting apps.

for alternatives. Each has their own benefit. I'm currently using BetterBatteryStats to test it out, its changed since I've last used it. Not the best GUI but it gets the job done.

[Q] New owner of my OPO and experiencing battery issues :(

Hi all, I've just purchased a OPO 64GB and have been using it for 2 days. So far, I'm not liking it.
I've tested the official 12S ROM and while everything was fine, the battery drain is just unbearable. I understand the issue is main due to the GPS v7.3.29 systemupdate wakelock, but CM already has the fix applied and I've even applied this as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082
I've also tried reverting GPS to an older version but it didn't help. The battery drains regardless of GPS and I don't even have any of my apps installed other than BetterBatteryStats! Why don't I have apps installed? My habbit is to test out the raw stats of any brand new phone I purchase so I have some sort of benchmark to compare against.
So I thought, OK maybe CM 12s has issues, I'll try another ROM. I've tried Smoki's ROM and still has battery drain. I'm now testing BlissPop, again the same. Keep in mind, I don't have anything installed other than BetterBatteryStats. Currently on BlissPop (latest version), I'm seeing a 1 hour wakelock on Android system while the SOT is only 5 minutes. That's rather ridiculous.
I've done a lot of research and have seen good reviews on the Exodus rom, however that's currently 5.0.x I believe and I kinda want to move forward to 5.1 roms. I realize that most 5.1 roms are probably still in early stages (although some rom chefs tagged them as "Stable" so who knows), but still it seems like most roms have more or less the same common issues. From what I've researched, many people tried out various combinations of roms + kernels and had more or less the same result.
I've also seen many people reporting getting only 2~3 hours or probably 5 hours of SOT and not many able to achieve past 6~7 hours. Of course, I'll be installing Greenify, Disable Services and Servicely to tweak it a bit, but just disappointed that even on stock settings, most roms I've tested have more or less the same result. Just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it because from what I've researched, the only thing that can be done is just keep trying new roms and kernels and that's just a waste of time and experimenting constantly doesn't guarantee results.
I realize I'm ranting a bit here, but having come from my Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, the battery life on my OPO is just way too unbearable.
PS: I've updated my firmware to the latest and factory reset and wiped everything (except internal storage). I've been in the scene for ages so I know what I'm doing, yet this phone just drains battery like crazy and BBS doesn't pick up anything abnormal.

Hi timmaaa, thanks for the reply.
I've actually came across your thread a long time ago and have already applied the suggested tweaks. However GPS isn't really the issue here, it's not showing much drain under BBS.
I did notice the com.cyanogenmo.lockclock.cLock partial wakelock and it seems to be caused by the clock app? I've disabled all the weather settings for cLock and that didn't help. Currently I've frozen it with Titanium Backup and the time on my status bar still works. Weird thing is, BBS still shows the partial wakelock time counting up. I am using BBS (paid version) v2.0. I know that there's a new beta version that's compatible with Android 5.1 so maybe the current BBS I'm using isn't working fully with 5.1 yet, so may be displaying incorrect/outdated data despite the apps being frozen.
I'll also start to apply some tweaks for Disable Services, but yeah the drain even on idle is just disappointing. It's a good phone and I appreciate all the chefs for making their custom roms, but just so frustrated after having purchased a new phone. I've done my research on it and thought I could deal with the battery issue but wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Or maybe I'm just used to my Galaxy S5 having 9 hours of SOT....

I use BBS 2.0 as well so that isn't the issue. I've heard of the cLock app causing issues before but I can't remember if there's a solution or not. Exodus is indeed very good for battery life, but still waiting on the 5.1 update for that one. Nameless ROM is also quite light on the battery, they're not on XDA but you'll find a link to their G+ community in my signature if you want to try it out.

Lockclock
Set location to manually
And update to never
Make sure you turn off daydream and ambient display in the display settings

Thanks for the rely waterdaan. Already tried what you suggested and currently it's frozen by Titanium Backup. Still had wakelocks though. It only disappeared after several reboots and now I'm getting Google Play Store *alarm* partial wakelocks instead.

Pull out your SIM Card or switch to Airplane mode. If it's gone then, it's your carrier's fault.

Update:
My phone has been in deep sleep over the past 13 hours. I haven't plugged in my SIM card in yet and it's been on airplane mode this entire time. Data roaming options are disabled and it's on 2G right now, data turned off. BBS now shows that it holds an alarm count of 75 for the connectivityservice_pkt_cnt_sample wakelock.
I've tried the suggestion in post #5 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/connectivityservice-wakelock-wifi-off-t2899450
Didn't help though. Under partial wakelock, everything looks fine except Google Play Store *alarm* is holding a wakelock of 8 hours 30s with a count of 2. I don't understand this because the Awake and Screen On time is very close, Deep Sleep is close to 13 hours, the BBS graph looked normal to me, yet somehow Google Play Store is holding a wakelock??? By the way, I've also frozen Google Play Store so I'm not sure why it's holding a wakelock. I was getting the same thing prior to it being frozen.
Not sure if I need to apply the fastdormancy tweak to address the connectivityservice wakelock issue, I guess I'll need to test it out.
Update 2:
Unrelated to fast dormancy. Have updated to OxygenOS modem (00241):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...dio-updated-modem-radio-files-oxygen-t3072516
Still getting the damn connectivityservice alarm wakelocks though. Will probably switch to Exodus and try it out or switch to 44S and see how that goes...

Fastboot flash cm 11s 44s. Greenify donation package/xposed + amplify. Root it then download root uninstaller and remove all bloat such as Google plus etc. In privacy guard turn off wake up and keep awake and location in apps such as Facebook, messenger, play store and Google play services. Do this and report back and you will be amazed, well I was. I had maximum of 2/3h SoT literally 2 days ago . I've done all above yesterday and boom over 8h of SoT! You can find my thread if you don't believe where I ask for tips on what to do and why my battery was so terrible on lollipop. I'll attach few screenshots

wow that's pretty damn good!
What settings do you use for amplify and greenify? I have both paid versions and have been using it for ages but to be honest I don't think they help improve my battery much. I've applied most of the settings suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
I don't use facebook, google plus etc. I keep everything at stock and have very little apps to be honest. Kinda wanna stick to lollipop but if kitkat gives better results, I guess I can give it a try.
I used to love flashing roms but now just don't have the time. I'm also getting frustrated and sick of it too because it takes so much time and effort to test it and troubleshoot for wakelocks etc. I just want something that works out of the box without having to worry so much about fixing things....

Sorry for the late reply. Hmm, with amplify I block all the wakelocks and alarms I can that won't affect my phones functionality, if I'm not sure what one does I let it turn on every 240seconds but I make sure to test it before leaving it. For greenify, I hibernated everything except of whatsapp and apps like adaway or android system apps etc as to lollipop, I was never able to reach more than 5h SoT so yeah I was pretty pissed because I'm one of them people that if I see someone reach 8h SoT, I myself must get 9h SoT haha. Lollipop was supposed to give better battery life but I don't see it as of now. Also kitkat seems to be more stable for me haha . In addition you could play with profiles so for example if you're only texting you can change the performance profile to power saving. You can set it up so that it's in your notification toggles. I have also heard that lollipop doesn't turn off 3g on deep sleep or something like that thus draining more battery that kitkat but who knows you can always play in multirom and see what suits you best.

Question Sometimes Only Receive Texts After Restart

Hey All,
So I have an unlocked S22 Ultra and have my Verizon SIM card installed. Over the last week or 2 I have noticed that occasionally, not all the time I will notice I am not receiving text messages. Once I realize it has been hours I will restart my phone. Once I restart, the text messages come flooding in. Does anyone have any idea what can be causing this and a possible fix/resolution?
Thanks.

Is global power management active?
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise global power management is active. It will cause erratic behaviors. It's not needed or desirable, it never did work well. It can not be disable here though.
Example: how its controls appear on a Samsung N10+ in Device Care, battery, it's usually a little buried but it's there. You'll find something similar to this. It's part of the core Android system.
These settings will cause trouble...

So here is an example of my screen when I go into Dev Options > Standby Apps. Looks like global power management is active. I can't find the settings page of your screenshot on my S22 however. I can tell you that I do have adaptive battery enabled but I can't seem to find those other settings. Thanks.

Yeap it's active and raising hell.
Doesn't even do much in terms of power savings and can even make it worse even after its "adapted"
Look around, the setting for it is there. On individual apps toggling the don't use battery in the background does not invoke global power management.

Ok I will poke around the settings. So are you saying for me to disable adaptive battery and then to also disable all of the other settings you circled in your original post screenshot? Thanks for the help on this.

They're not needed which is why they're disabled.
Just tested them; it's adaptive battery that invokes it.

So does that mean that all I need to do is disable adaptive battery and the rest takes care of itself?

Yes, if that's the cause. It's a known troublemaker. For me if listening to Poweramp via bt it will kill it in a few minutes, very annoying if you don't know where to look.
If you disabled any of the many small Samsung system apks, that may be the cause. Most use little or no resources and are best left alone.

You don't need to disable Adaptive Battery. Add your texting app to never sleeping apps.
Device Care - > Battery - > Background usage limits - > Never sleeping apps. Hit the plus sign and add the apps you don't want to sleep.

In my case that solution didn't work and it continued to misbehave anyway...
Adaptive battery never worked right. It never adapted even after a week and the excessive battery drain continued unabated.
Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis instead. Android will run better without it once optimized.
Lazy solutions yield inferior results.

Just a quick update. I did disable adaptive battery and I noticed a major difference in my battery life (much worse). I re-enabled adaptive battery and it seems to have taken a week or so for my battery life to be where it was at pre-disabling of adaptive battery. What I did was just go into the messages app settings and set it to unrestricted and so far so good.

It needs to be optimized. Adaptive battery is a lame stop gap measure. An optimized device produces superior SOT and standby mode battery times. I tried it all different kinds of ways, for months... it was too much fun
An optimized N10+ gets double the battery life...

Is there a guide on this? I'd love to be able to get those metrics. My battery life went to hell when I disabled adaptive battery.

Don't listen to him, you do as you please with Adaptive battery if you are seeing the results for itself.
He has a Note 10+ running Android 9 or 10, not a S22 Ultra with Android 12.
You did it the correct way, which was go into Messages and put it to Unrestricted.
You can do that for every app which you need notifications from at all times. I have it set like that for my email app, Outlook for work, Whatsapp, etc.

I pretty much hunted the hogs down one by one.
Then I try optimize the app by settings if it was useful. Otherwise disable it usually with Package Disabler. To blindly use a list will cause trouble as you don't know what or how the app function or their dependencies if any. Each user is unique and so will be their lists and solutions.
The learning curse is a bit steeper with Androids to get the most out of them. It's sort of like asking someone how to use a computer. No simple answer other then to play with until you have specific questions to ask. I play with my N10+ on and off when bored or have an issue.
I never do firmware updates or upgrades as this will create issues. Most apps I never update either. Don't change the playing field if the device is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission.

Lol, adaptive battery never work right. I'm getting 11-12hrs SOT with a derated 3600 mAh battery.
Of course if I followed your advice I get the same lousy SOT as you do even if I had a new battery.
If I didn't optimize and didn't use adaptive battery the SOT be even worse.
Adaptive battery is a bandaid for the lazy and inept, but you're still gonna be ozzing cpu cycles.
