I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

Why is it dropping so fast, thought this was supposed to be fixed! :crying:
I know my signal looks quite bad, but I have only been on my normal commute, and it isn't normally that bad... has the radio update made my signal worse?
You could just download Battery Monitor Widget and check the standby drain.
The fact is that the standby drain with the latest OTA is between 18-30 ma, which is higher than it should.
With the cm11 nightly releases from these week there is a 6-10ma drain in the same circumstances.
Of course double tap to wake + gestures enabled.
So the drain problem is still here.
The problem occur also with franco r14 kernel, which means there is something wrong with the system files, not the kernel.

Change the monitor option to reverse mA.
Then enable monitoring, set it for 1 minute.
Leave the phone for 5 minutes and check the history file.
Clean install
TRY clean installing wipe everything and install it again ive been experiencing GREAT BATTERY LIFE. Its been on standby for like 2 hours and still at 100% on the 30o it would go down like 3-5% in the same amount of time
I'm using M9 with Franco r14.
These results show 5mA/h. I think these are good results in airplane mode.

It was a completely clean install anyway, so doing another one wouldn't make a difference would it?

I got 10 hours at 100%. With cm11 nightly. Wifi and mobile data off.
About the program, you need to press on the history until you got ma reading, not percent per hour.

See you sure it isn't Google Play Services hogging your battery? It shows up as Android OS in the battery stats sometimes. Try the fix in my signature.
Transmitted via Bacon
I agree Google Play services does do that sometimes. I have solved this on my phone by simply clearing cache and then going into Google Play Services then click on Manage Space then scroll down to the bottom and Clear All Data and see how it goes from there
OP. You're not the only one that experienced the increased drain.
I opened yet another Jira bug report due to this drain.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
Here is my results. It's consistent as well.
The proximity sensor issue is fixed since I used a camera to double check. Will sleep on it tonight to see if the drain is poor again...
I dirty flashed the zip from android police.
BTW there is also a new radio how's everyone finding that?
The multi touch seems to be mostly fixed. I get issues when my fingers are too close together but it can detect 10 fingers without problems now... Before it had issues detecting 2-3...
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
I also observe 18-20mA battery usage on 33R vs 7-10mA on 25R.
So they fixed something, but not everything for sure on CM11S.

If you still get worse battery idle drain on 33R when compared to 25R, vote for the issue https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
What do you think about it?

Steve Kondik got the new jira ticket with unfixed idle drain assigned to himself again. Hope he can shed some light on the topic again.

Xperia Z3 D6603, stock ROM, non rooted, locked bootloader, Android 5.0.2, build 23.1.A.0.690.
Hello all, I have a huge problem with my Z3. I mean, battery life issues.
As you can see on the 2 pics, my device is running out of battery too quickly, and it heat up even for simple tasks!

Any help?
That's not normal.. it sucks. Will switch to LG G4 as soon as available.
how much of that was screen time using the battery?
About 3 or 4 hours max.. but I use it time to time. Wi-Fi and sometimes mobile data on cellular network.
Don't understand why the battery drain is so fast.
Stamina mode doesn't change a thing. Almost always on manual low brightness and I have to use my power bank (external battery) when I'm away.

I have the exact same issues, the phone was going very strong for the first 6 months (7-8 hrs SoT) and then it all went bad (3-4 hrs Max). I've tried MANY things and the issue seems to be **mainly** with Android OS and System (especially with mobile networks "staying active").
What kind of worked for me is:
Turn off "double tap to wake screen"
Delete any 3rd party alarm apps (clearly helped)
Turn off "Google Location History" in Google settings
Check for stuck sync
After doing all of this i got about +2hrs screen on time, but it all went bad again (even with them still off)... So I'm interested in your feedback and others' answers!
I'll try that. I assume Timely is a 3r party alarm apps?
Check out this pic.. battery discharging during the night and lost more than 20% by using it one hour (simple web browsing and stuff). I'm starting to hate this phone.
By the way, congrats for your 1st post

Yes I think we have the exact same problem, my phone discharges about 2-3% on airplane mode through the night. And as you said, my normal use means that I lose 10% to every 30 minutes of screen (under normal conditions).
Yes I mean Timely! it drained the battery on my phone and only showed up as a problem on Gsam and wakelock detector! i wouldn't have known otherwise, its disguised as Android OS or System!
Its very disappointing given that it was working very well before!
Stuck with the same problem.. and they boast about Xperia Z3 amazing battery life.. that device sucks. Switching to LG G4 as soon as available. Sony disappointed me, they failed me.
I use Timely to wake up because this app is well designed and I love the smart rise feature.
That said, Android says OS and screen process drains battery the most.

I think you should first try what I suggested for a day or two and see the results, should be an improvement, though I don't know how much...
I used timely for exactly the same thing, but as all google products these days, it drains the battery I'm really dissapointed with Google more than Sony, I have the same problems on all my lollipop devices (2 nexuses). Nothing Sony can do about it...
With flastool you can go back to KitKat if Lollipop doesn't perform good for you.
I have good experience with the .77 Version and still have a backup of it in twrp.
You have a very weak signal (the red color) which is draining battery.
Android OS is the Kernel.
Use better battery stats which is free here from xda.
Also check app permissions of your installed apps.
And a calibration of the battery may help.
With full auto brightness and mixed 3G/wifi browsing and listening to music via Bluetooth or headset I have 6h Display on in 2 or 3days on Lollipop.
But prerooted / debloated / tweaked Rom .690 with good signal.
I know the signal is bad and is a cause I'm my case. I was living in Germany for a few months and got around 7h over 2 days, it halved when I moved back to jordan. However it's still getting worse, noticeably since I turned off and uninstalled many things (it got better for 2 days *6hr and then went back to bad *3-4hr). But still the point is why buy a smartphone if you have to turn off everything just to get it through the day. The problem is that you get the feeling that no matter what you do with the phone it still drains (which looks like a system or app issue because it does even when I'm only using Wi-Fi or even 3/4g on full signal)...
Well there is no magic button to improve the battery life.
Yes there is, Airplane Mode.
Hi my wife bought a Note 5 two days ago (9/30). She did all setup, app restoring, etc that evening and fully charged the phone overnight. However her phone is experiencing idle drain that I need some help fixing.
Some other info: battery saver modes are off, wifi is always on (but only connected at home), bluetooth is always off.
10/1: Arrived at work with 100% battery
A little over 4 hours later, with light use, the phone was at 51% with less that 45 mins SOT

With facebook as the biggest offender I suggested she turn off the setting of pre-loading pics and videos.
When she got home she charged phone to 100%. I also changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE. Here's how the battery looked with light use before going to bed:
10/2 - Left the phone unplugged over night to see what would happen, it lost 12% sitting on the nightstand for 8 hours.
Will report back later this afternoon to see how the day is progressing.
First step for me in reducing battery drain was to disable the Facebook app. It is a battery hog and was always at the top of my list. Instead, use a browser and create a shortcut to facebook.com or install Metal from the Play Store which is a web wrapper for Facebook and so much lighter. Sometimes I still get strange battery drain from Android system (up to 35% sometimes!). But this usually gets resolved just by opening up recent apps and closing all.
Hmm, I don't have problems with Facebook app on my droid turbo

Some people want notifications.
Regardless, Facebook doesn't seem to be showing up at the top afte the setting change. I'm interested to see what she has this afternoon. Will have some updates screen shots later on. I also asked her to charge ~3pm then drive home with nav on to see what the battery looks like under heavy usage.
I need to dig into Android System to see what's going on there, any ideas? Will GSAM pro give more insight here?
Not looking good, 22% used in 2.5 hours with 20min SOT

I lied, facebook setting is "play videos automatically", I have to assume turning this off will save data/battery. Also Instagram has "use less data" setting. I thought I read that this stops pre-loading of videos/images, but I might have imagined that?
Anyway, for facebook setting hit the menu button next to the notifications icon then scroll to "App Settings" near the bottom of the screen.
After most of a work day and light use she's down to 58%. Looks like facebook is back up there, odd because it's not a problem on my phone.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot why Android System is using so much battery?
I have a note 4 and I'm having similar issue ls

You guys have to also take in consideration the Lollipop total connection time bug. Apps open up a connection and it won't close it when it's done... For example my first charge cycle I signed into instagram and it used 40% of my battery without me ever open again. The total connection time of most apps ends up being hours when it shouldn't be. That won't be fixed untill Marshmallow comes to the Note 5. Google is aware and has fixed it. It's on multiple Lollipop devices.

Yea I've used that for a while. When I force stop an app I tend to not see it encounter that bug
Verizon Wireless Technician using Tapatalk on Note 5
If the device is rooted then you can try Greenify to hibernate the apps which are consuming the battery life.Try other simple solutions like disabling the Wifi and other tools when not using them.Sometimes Play services may cause the issue so try to fix them.There are some guides which may help you http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-samsung-galaxy-note-5/
http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-note-5-fast-battery-drain-problem/
Hope these guides will help you
The problem is ...because of the device used to be root although we flash original stock firmware it is still drain when device idle ...you can take a look in Android OS and see stay awake period ...one way is flash custom room that said deep sleep fix . Hope this comment could deal your problem
Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..
There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.
You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.
You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help
Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.
Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.
Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...
Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot
Airplane mode + Wifi enable.

Already doing that, on Android 10 UI 2.5 it was never that high. At a full charge when I went to bed in 10 hours it would be at 95-96% now while laying around and not using it drops 2-4% an hour. Some of those stats were while it was still on android 10.

Probably Google Backup Transport, Transport Framework and/or Goggle Play Services running in the background. Clear their data.

That didn't help mine. I'll give another week to calibrate and then start worrying about it.
I also went to Android 11 and this night did the GSAM test: Eight hours my dear friend sleeping next to me. But no AOD.
Result: 0,8% per hour, which is perfect. Before, with Android 10, I sometimes sqeezed out 0,7%/hr but that is of no importance. The best overnight was 0,6% loss./hr.
I have 540 applications installed I found out.
No battery calibrating or whatsoever done.
And..... I never switch off anything!. Bluetooth connection with watch remains all the night and WiFi remains on. Same location/GPS etc etc.
I sometimes become a little tired of reading advices to switch it all off, inclusive radio. Gives no difference in power consumption.
That may have been the case ten years ago.
And here is my GSAM screen. Looks OK.

Ended up doing a FDR and didn't restore any old data. Battery is still the same, must be an OS problem that will be solved with a future update.
I noticed that without any disabling apps and just using battery background usage limits (setting which apps to to deep sleep etc.), the battery life got better with time. The moment i started doing app optimisations (goodlock) etc, battery life went haywire. I use accubattery just to check on parameters (it doesn't give accurate app usage in background). I'm using on 96hz as well.
