Major battery drain

Guys, another member with yet another battery drain thread. I could have asked my questions on an existing thread but didn't want to hijack anyone's thread.
From full charge I'm losing 3-4% battery within 2 hours.
I'm rooted with custom recovery and stock ROM.
I have WiFi on during sleep only when plugged in.
Location services all turned off.
Any help massively welcome.
Here are a few screen shots for info.

Did you look at the stickies??

[/COLOR]The very first thing to try is turning off WiFi off when screen off. Something is waking it up constantly. Leave WiFi on. That may alone fix the issue.
Try it first anyway.

Edit: you did look at the stickies. Lol. Good work! ? I was thinking, wow....just saw this same issue somewhere.
My bad.

That's the first thing I thought, it's not doing the battery any favors to have the WiFi flip on and off like that. WiFi is easier on the battery than data, so unless you have data disabled and are switching over to voice/SMS only it's more efficient to idle over WiFi.
That might not be the case if you're attempting to use a WiFi with a much weaker signal than your data connection. However in this set of screenshots it looks like a mix of weak and strong mobile connection which would cause extra drains (especially the red full drops).
Biggest issue is all that awake time though.

dont waste your time looking for a cause, google play services is biting you. its a kmown current issue with the play services. i used to use the disable service app to disable all location services from the play services app, and used to fix it for me.

Thanks guys for the suggestions.
I've turned WiFi on always and still the battery is draining fast. 4-5% within 2 hours.
Android system is a big drain. No idea why. Google play services is currently at 5%

Try using CPU tuner. I've used it on all my devices thus far and have had great battery life thus far. Average full charge on high usage lasts about 14-16 hours

Try also to change kernel, you are rooted so there are no problem, i suggest you to try the big bum kernel that you can finde here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-bum-5-t2774572 it's simply a franco kernel with some optimization andi like it so much! I've no google play service in battery info and it's update very often!

It's works every time for me. Maybe take it to carrier and show them and they will give you a new one. Should happen almost instantaneously even with screen off.

Could try a factory reset first too. Probably what carrier would make sure you have tried before swapping it.

The issue seems to come and go so I have a feeling it's isolated to either a specific app or some other process running in the background. Plus, I originally purchased a 32GB and returned it for a 64. Definitely don't want to re-install all apps and logins again, unless if I had to of course.

[Q] Android system draining battery

About a week after I got this phone, android system began to drain a lot of my battery. I turned off sync, disabled a lot of apps, and adjusted Google now, didn't seem to help. I don't know what else to do. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem except it is Call Standby, no one could answer it with a proper fix, though apparently it is VoIP, sadly we can't disable it on VZW S6.

Try clearing cache in recovery, I heard that fixes it.

For Cell Standby drain see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ow-to-significantly-increase-battery-t3109799

Thank you!

Help please!
I would also LOVE some help with this too. Currently, Android system is taking up 29% of my battery resources and cell standby is at 10%. I think I've exhausted all possibilities too. I've tried wiping the cache partition, factory data rest, odin back to stock, advanced calling on and off, changing the WiFi sleep policy and nothing seems to tame either one of those from being at the top of my battery stats. I struggle to get 3 hours of SoT. Gsam regularly says that WiFi active uses 40% - 50% of the battery. Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it? I am amazed at some of the screen shots I see with people easily getting 5+ hours of SoT. Ps, I'm on VZW.

What are you running? Stock now? Clean Rom? Try downloading Better battery stats in the Play Store, see if you can get a better handle on what's running more specifically. Have you removed all Verizon's bloat?

I'm running stock now.

And yes, I've disabled all bloat and unused apps.

What I would do is root, and flash Clean Rom 1.5. Then try that and see how you do after that there's a few things you can do that might help if you don't see a jurassic change. Keep us updated though. But thats where I would start.

You also can try to turn off things like smart stay… auto brightness helps if you turn it off and turn your brightness down manually. And make sure if you do flash a rum to let it settle for 3 or 4 days before your give up hope.

OK thanks, maybe I'll try that. Do you have a link for a Verizon root method? Does it trip knox?

It does not trip knox, there's a guide that I take no credit for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3104094

Yessssssss, me too with the DEEP sleep. It happens too often sometimes...like for instance..right before I posted this reply, my LG V10 running 5.1.1, I had to hard reset my phone 3 Times in a row bc of the DEEP sleeping. I do love everything else about it tho bc it helps my battery life a good deal.

Galaxy S7 Audio Issues

Hey, I've recently bought a S7 and now I face audio issues. Whenever I watch a video, listen to music, or play games, the audio would usually cut out, and resume after a minute or so. I've never gotten this issue using the 3.5mm headphone jack. Do you guys think it's a hardware or software issue?
Thanks.

that never happened to me before, did you drop it hard someday ? if not, then get it replaced

There is a whole thread about this issue, just type s7 sound problem in search box, one user posted videos. I have the same problem, still don't know what's causing it.

Apparently it has something to do with some Google apps, I'm not too sure how to fix it though.

I did dunk it in water a few times.

Hi,
I have the same problem with audio. It looks definitely as software problem. When the problem occurs i run Hardware diagnostic tests - *#0*# and run speaker test. After that test the speaker works fine.
For me it is something wrong with deep sleep or this doze feature.
Regards

Did you find that info online, or?
I tried contacting samsung, but they only said that i should bring the phone to closest service when the sound bug happens. The problem is that it can happen any time, and go away in the same manner -.-

I browsed around and found out that other devices suffer from these issues. Also, Samsung customer care told me to do a cache wipe and it still didn't fix the issue.

FIXED! After becoming angered with the device, I slapped the living hell out of it and there are no more issues! None whatsoever for about 1 month.

I also have the same problem, someone has solved?

I wouldn't recommend abusing your phone out of frustration (as noob924 claims to have done). Odds are greater that you'd damage it than that you'd find your issue resolved

This app simply request Audio Focus and then relase it again , so your Media Player (Youtube , Music , etc) can gain Sound again.
