[Help Required] Android System ( System_server) drain battery issue (5.1.1) - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

there can be couple of problem responsible causing this .if i would be you , i would deep wipe my every os related partition and flash a new maybe unofficial cm 12s /any non crazy rom properly and see the results

You use at work wifi or mobile data?

Off topic :
Privacy guard shows phone is awake while charging phone(location service) is waking up only while charging.. Anysolution?
1.i have disabled screen awake in dev options

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

[4.4.3] Screen not showing in Battery Stats / ScreenOnTime not being logged

Hello everyone,
Has anyone experienced the bug in 4.4.3 where screen on time is not being logged anymore and the screen does not show up in the integrated battery stats? If yes, is there a fix and if not, will this be fixed?
I want to avoid factory resetting my phone though, so if there is no solution I think I'll just live with it.
Thank you

have you tried rebooting? and, do you have root? if so, using a root file explorer, delete /data/system/batterystats.bin and reboot.
Hi,
If you just recently updated your phone, it's possible that the battery stats have been reset, and usually just media server and all those things appear as the biggest battery consumers. If you fully charge your phone it should show the correct usage again.
Hope this works.
Hello,
Thanks for your answers
Unfortunately I haven't rooted yet, but I think I might invest time to do that if it can fix the issue. Rebooting hasn't helped nor fully charging it. It just seems like the OS doesn't even log the display stats anymore, although the bar in the battery monitor for screen on is still there

mm-qcamera-daemon on 4.4.4

I had this on 4.4.2 but 4.4.3 fixed it. I'm on 4.4.4 now and have been since it came out, but all of a sudden last week, mm-qcamera-daemon came back and I'm not alone.
With L just around the corner, I doubt there will be any fix for this from Google, so what's the best way of finding out which app is keeping this service alive?
P.S. I have neither Skype, Instagram, nor Snapchat installed - and never have done - so it's not them.
Did you have a camera app running in the background? ie. minimized it without swiping it away.
Nah, nothing like that. I'll even get it when I boot my phone, open no apps at all, and charge to 100% before unplugging from the charger - this action seems to be the cause of the daemon, like some of the other users on that issue report are saying. Never mind, I guess I'll just wait it out until L.
I have never had this problem on my nexus 5 until today (I bought the Nexus 5 on day one)!
This process is draining all my battery!!
The only app I installed in the past week is "Google Opinion Rewards" which was installed 6 hours ago.
Please help if you find a solution
UPDATE 1: I just noticed, via CPU-Z, that all 4 cores are continuously active at high frequency and the phone is overheating
UPDATE 2: Problem is still there even after removing "Google Opinion Rewards"
Just reflash the stock firmware and see if it continues.
Best thing to do with any issue that a solution can't be found for easily. ?

the camera daemon is supposed to appear. its not supposed to stay around, draining battery. especially at 100%, you will see it, as the phone uses it a little bit, and you havent used the phone at all. it will show up. the question is, if you dont use the camera at all, and it appears in your battery stats, after a full cycle of use, how much battery does it take? chances are that by the end of your battery cycle, it wont even be in your battery stats.

I actually fixed it now by flashing the system image and restoring all my apps via Titanium Backup, but I swear I'd never even open Camera for it to occur, and I don't have any third party camera apps. It would constantly be active without opening any camera apps at all.
edit- also Google have restated that they're looking into this bug and have marked it urgent, so anyone else getting it - don't panic too much, it's most likely not a problem you've caused.
I suspect the Hangouts/Hangouts dialer. I updated the app few days ago (no other installs), today was the first time that I got this issue (got my Nexus in February). Also first time since updating I used the camera, followed by battery drain/ daemon/ "failed to connect camera" etc.
I think its because of android wear
With android wear u can access the camera, hence u will be seeing the camera drain for sure. i unpaired my watch for few days and i didnt have this problem till now
I had this problema today morning, my android version is 4.4.4, In my case I used yesterday the camera to attach a photo inside the facebook messenger, maybe this buggy app make this mess in my case.
I reboot and waiting for the results
Same here
Everything was ok from 4.4.2 till 4.4.4. But suddenly week ago discovered mm-qcamera-daemon issue, tried many things without success. I am using phone in safe mode (facepalm).
Waiting official Android L or fix from google.
I got the same issue now!
Started today, what the hell?
Some apps will keep the camera wakelocks going. Freeze anything that can possibly use the camera and see what happens.
Or just clean flash stock, and see if its OK. If so... Install a handful of apps per day.... Then if it goes nuts you know it's an app you've just installed.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=70755#c171
I think i had this fixed. Ihave a rooted nexus 5 stock rom. Installed greenify, pirchased the donate version and had the camera app greenified. No more mm-qcamera-daemon showing up on my battery stats. No more "cannot connect to camera" issues. (So far it's been 2days without it.
camera block app
i see this issue occurs when i use skype or any camera related app in my grand 2 4.4.2 / only way i keep the issue at bay is use camera block app.. which i keep it turned on when i am not really using the camera.
this seem to keep this daemon under control and not drain my battery .

[5.0]WiFi shows as on in battery settings always

Hello guys, out of all the bugs this is the one bothering me the most.
Battery settings show WiFi as on all the time no matter how i switch it off.
I have disabled all the settings like scanning always.
I flashed the factory image yesterday (not OTA) and waited till a full charge, now today even after a full charge its still the same.
Is this a common bug or just me??
UPDATE :Tested with a clean flash of the factory image and without any apps, the result was that the issue has been solved. It could probably be some app which isnt updated to work in 5.0 yet. (Probably Viber app)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I didn't flash the image, just flashed it via multirom. I don't have that problem...If that happened to me I'd try to reflash to see if I could replicate the issue with no apps other than what comes with the image.
I just flash my ROM yesterday with the factory image too and now I'm facing the same problem.
Battery usage shows that Wi-Fi is always on even the phone is sleep.
Really want to know why... I think it really consumes the battery.
I flashed the factory image too. I have the same problem. WIFI is always on. Any idea?
I've got it, too. Clean flashed 2 times. Well, hopefully Google gets on it soon.
Same here. Clean install, no root, no tweaks.
I opened issue here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79326
Solution
had the same issue. what i found out was that it was not an android issue, the issue is with viber app(atleast in my case it was). to confirm it try booting to safe mode and check you battery stats. safe mode disables all 3rd party apps. if it works then reboot normally and uninstall viber.

I updated OTA and I have the same problem. Wifi always on, battery sucking. I don't have the viber app.
try booting to safe mode just to check if it was caused by any other 3rd party application

Well, turning WiFi off and rebooting "resolves" this issue too, but it's no solution at all, the "bug" is still present.

Right this could be the reason. I clean flashed the factory image once again and now its not there without any apps installed. Viber could be the reason.
And btw for those who doesnt know about "Scanning always available" feature, you have to disable "Scanning always available" option in Advanced WiFi settings to truly switch off WiFi when you disable it. Otherwise it will always be on even if the phone goes to sleep. This is an Android feature. I have shown it the pictures of the 1st post.
So regarding the OP, should install apps one by one and confirm who the culprit is.

there was no need to have clean flashed again, you could have booted in safe mode(press and hold power off option) which disables all 3rd party apps. you could have figured it there. anyways for other people with the same issue you could try this and to figure out which app causes it, reboot back to normal and try force stopping each app and check. thats what i did to figure it out. Viber was the cause of the issue for me as i mentioned earlier

U ULTRA Oreo 8.0 update, is it half baked?

I have updated to Android 8.0.0 a few days ago and so far I have only came across problems and issues with stability and performace.
So the positives about the update:
- The phone definitly is more secure, google did an amazing job on that one, for sure its the safest version on android by far,
- Performance is slighty better
- The skin excluding the icons are very nice, but it just ends here,
And here are the negatives I have come accross:
- The settings menu is kind of broken. On a few ocassions so far there have been no icons next to the text and would disappear unless i closed settings and opened it again,
- When u select for example Security, There are no icons on the left of the text. It just seems lazy from htc that they didnt really finalize the rom, everything seems rushed,
- Files are encrypted by default and impossible to access unless you do a full wipe and somehow remove the decryption(I assume you need to use aroma, but i have no idea how that works),
- Multiple icons are used a lot and there are barely any animations (Example - On youtube when u minimize a video and then reopen it, there is no animation it just teleports the screen to full or minimized. When u pull down the menu from the top, again no animation, it just goes down instantly. When u try to close the applications when u swipe left or right it just does it quickly),
- The secondary display lags a lot i have no idea why,
- When i use bluetooth headphones the audio stutters a lot making watching videos or listening to music really uncomfortable( on htc earphones the audio is fine),
- The rom in general just feels really rushed and unpolished
If anyone is experiencing similar issues please let me know, also if there is a fix for the specified please post it down.
In general its cool that we got the update, but we got a half baked one, with controversial features I would say..
Did you do a factory reset after the update ?

Yes numerous times
Okay so with a simple reset and a visit to the recovery to attempt to delete cache and dalvik cache, bluetooth works fine with my headphones and the secondary display doesnt stutter anymore, yay.
I think the rom is a little bit unstable..

Okay so for some reason my rom is very unstable.
From time to time it stutters a lot while on some ocassions it works smooth, ill probably have to factory reset it
The official Oreo rom lags. The former rom was smoother. I have horrible battery life. The SOT is less than 2 hours and it was around 4 hours. I did a factory reset. This update is a big disappointment.
Give it a few days guys
Guys keep in mind that every time when you update to new android it takes several days till everything settles. With the new version everything (including apps) is scanning, indexing and setting up in background in the first few days.

I have stoсk 7.0, tell me how to roll back to 7.0.
Trouble in Oreo is Temperature over 50-60 degrees
Also noticed the fact that in 7.0 the memory was loaded by 54% in 8.0 the memory is loaded by 70%
Please tell me why the processor operates at maximum frequencies in normal mode?

I'm fairly sure that you can do that by the option which is intent on doing so.
The point I was trying to make is, battery saver does not behave like this in the prior versions, and I was assuming that OP thought his ROM was broken somehow because of enabling it.
Just to add my experience with the update first time it soft bricked my phone and had to flash ruu via sd card to get it working again. It now runs but keep finding secondary screen crashes when using sat nav and error message covers the screen! I also get a crash in mail whenever i try to reply to anyone!

Anyone having problems with battery drain after pie update?

I have a Google app at top of the battery drain list, about same % as my display, basicaly it never goes to sleep or whatever. I allready did factory reset because there where other bugs after update, so all the bugs are gone except this one..
Any thoughts on what i can do about this one? Its a nasty one.. I also had big bt problem that made my connection to my car useless but reseting the phone and radio helped with that one..

Configure Google. In Google you excludes everything you do not need. There is much to for shut off. For me the battery lasts longer on Pie than on Oreo.

If you meant that google tracking stuff, location, ads(info,security,personalization), turned it mostly off as i dont need most of it, restarted, enabled disabled google app but the thing keeps going in the background. but i never touched this settings before and all was fine so it shouldnt be that. only thing that works is disabling google app, but kinda worried what i lose by doing that, is it going to sync contacts, notes and that basic stuff if its disabled..
hvala!
