Gsam/app sucker app?

Can someone educate me on how to read GSam app? When I open the app sucker, how do I know if an app is taking up more battery than it should?
Do I want to see deep sleep or no? Last night I had 61% deep sleep on it and today I dont have any.

You want to see deep sleep that's good. If an app has a lot of wakelocks that is a cause of your phone not going into deep sleep. When its awake (not physically with the screen on) that causes it to suck more battery.

Battery drains very quickly: 15% in 2 hours of no usage

I bought a Xperia E3 and it had a battery problem,
I bought the second E3 and had the same problem.Battery drains 5% in 15 minutes of ussage.
I tried charge it from 70% 50% 30% and leave it to charge a few hours extra after it hit 100% as a last hope.But it doesn work.
What is the problem with it? 2xE3->the same problem.

Install a free app called CPU Spy avaliable on Google Play, all you need to do is open this app and see if there's a usage of "Deep Sleep" state by processor. If your E3 are not going to deep sleep at rest time, this is probably the reason of your battery drain.

Deep sleep works when the screen is turned off.
So check that app to see if it is showing the correct deep sleep duration or not.

afte 44 minutes with 10 minutes use of the phone

600mhz---------------0%
384mhz----------------0%
300mhz------06:29 min-----14%
Deep Sleep-----29:45 min----67%
Could it be tha LTE is always on even if i have no signal from my carrier?But battery stats does not show my antenna drain.
Should i switch to WCDMA/GSM?

Don,t you know LTE and 3G can redeause battery life. Turn your device to 2g mode. Only when you need LTE then turn it on.

i do,but i didint think this is the only cause for the4 fast drain.
After a switched to WCDMA/GPS i was able to get 30h medium use,50% luminosity.so yeah,it worked ou well BUT now the screen gets black for 2-3 minutes and then comes back to normal,especially when usig facebook.
i should mention: no update installed since purchase.

[Q] Horrible android system battery drain

Im on COS 12 and recently I have been experiencing really bad battery drain by the android system. It has been using 7h of my CPU. How do I fix this?

Very USEFUL comment (loljk)
@usvimal : Install a battery monitor app like GSAM or BBS and look for culprits under Kernel/Partial wakelocks.
I usually have 59 mins on Android OS CPU usage per charge cycle, so almost 8 hours is a bit much.

Here are the Stats. Can you help me find out what's draining my battery?

Strange, but those stats actually look OK, and 5.5%/h with 38% screen on is still OK. Maybe you need to let the information gather further.

Try this, it worked for me. Wifi settings seemed to be the problem. Changed the frequency from 'automatic' to '2.4 Ghz only' in the advanced wifi setting.. Now all Normal. I almost returned the phone thinking of a hardware issue.

Deep Sleep % at idle?

I am curious what others are seeing in terms of deep sleep percentage and as a direct consequence battery drain? I have no 3rd party apps installed yet on my phone and have Google set to sync only Inbox, Pics, Chrome, Contacts, and Calendar. I also have most of my apps set to close with screen off. I only keep Inbox, Hangouts, and Nova Launcher running. With these settings I get a deep sleep % of about 85%. Whats really perplexing the awake time (with screen off) is over 3 hours over a 48 hour period which results in about 1.5% battery drain per hour. I know from previous experience with Android that this is mainly due to power wakelock which is essentially apps syncing. However, with all my other phones I usually get about 95-97% deep sleep at idle and a battery drain of about 0.3-0.5% per hour.
So my question...what are you getting in terms of deep sleep percentage at idle and battery drain rate per hour?

i noticed the same on my mate 9 after latest firmware update after few days but havent figure out what is causing it yet

Mine loses 1% overnight (7 hrs)

Wow! I would love to know your setup to achieve this. Is this with wifi and mobile networks on? Data on? What about other settings? Are you using any 3rd party apps to manage the battery? Overnight my phone drains about 0.5% per hour.

thats how it used to be for mine prior to latest FW update

I'm on Chinese version MHA-AL00

I have the same problem, and notice it long time ago. Now I'm on C185B186 and no better deep sleep that 75-80%. I can achieve more than this if I turn location off and/or mobile data connection off

This is overnight time so there is no wifi and network data. I have root and debloat all huawei apps. Currently there are about 100 apps on my phone and there is no app managing battery except the stock huawei one. You can go back a few pages to see what I use in my normal days. Currently I start to play a new game with my friend, it's called Valkyrie Connect and with this phone I can handle it for about 6-7hrs of playing game at 40% brightness with 15% battery left. Let it settle for a few day then see if it helps.

Just reboot it. This happened to me a couple of times. After reboot it went to sleep like it should.

Turn off aggressive dose. Helps a lot

i had some instances with stock kernel where overnight it was awake all the time but battery info or gsam didnt show a thing.
Then there's some times Screen is on for a long period, but it doesnt show the phone cpu awake while so.
Strange stuff Couldnt wrap my head yet around it

Sorry, but I think you are being a bit paranoid here...1% per hour is fine ! This phone does not run on air, it needs battery to stay connected to the GSM network. If you want better results, uninstall all your social media apps and try without them for a night...then go from there.

I'm being paranoid because in my note 8 i lost only 2% Totally..so doesn't that phone stay connected to the GSM network? only this phone connects to the gsm network? and does note 8 run on air? or only this phone? #no_offense #peace

Yes. Actually when advanced optimization is active, the OS takes up battery to close background apps to bare minimum(might not receive notifications). The phone is awake due to OS trying to close apps which are unnecessary. Hope this helps!

I always turn off my device during night, it has the alarm that automatically woke it up so it's very useful to save battery life

That is strange, I would have thought the purpose of that option WAS to save battery?

Regardless of whether you get important calls/messages at night, I don't think the answer to any battery drain issue should ever be "turn your phone off."

I might be stupid but isn't the whole point of the "aggressive doze" option to reduce battery consuption? How can it bear the possibly opposite effect??
Yeah, also what this guy is saying!

Recently I installed greenify along with xposed. I set it up and put some apps for hibernation. As greenify was discovering more apps running in the background, I added them to the hibernation list. At first it did improve the standby drain noticeably. With time(the list of backgroud apps increased), I saw that the phone was getting heated up and was losing much of the battery in a short duration of time. After that I removed greenify and my battery was back to normal(nothing cleared including cache etc). So the idea here is greenify also takes up resources to close background apps. Greenify is a better version of Android's Aggressive dose. I also want to mention that my battery life is certainly better than before(when Aggressive dose was enabled). Does this answer your question?

Makes sense.
I'll see whether the built in aggressive doze can indeed be more problem than solution here then.
So far i havent seen other reports.
