EDIT: After doing some testing, it seemed to be the lockscreen notifications for Mahdi rom, which turned itself on when you picked it up(like active display).
Hi, using franco kernel #50 and Mahdi rom 4/25 and noticed my battery was draining extremely quickly. I checked battery settings, and it says I am getting a 27% battery usage from com.android.systemui.
Are there any known solutions to this?
The only thing I can think of that could be causing this is TouchControl(slide to wake)
Any help fixing this is greatly appreciated!

nothing you can do about touch control battery drain, except not use it.

Has touchcontrol has proven to be a problem in the past?
I mentioned it in the post because I thought it COULD be it, but didn't do any testing to prove it.
Thanks!

yup. battery drain with touch control has been known about for a long time.
After doing some testing, it seemed to be the lockscreen notifications for Mahdi rom, which turned itself on when you picked it up(like active display).
Anything to do with active notification (pocket mode) or tap to wake, anything like that is a big battery drain on the N5.
don't know if it could be helpful, but I want to share with you my experience.
Yesterday I did notice a heavy battery drain caused by android.systemui process. a 80% of battery gone in about 3-4 hours, without having done any particular operation or installed any new app. moreover, I was sleeping when it's happened.
I'm on a Nexus 5 with CM 11 Snapshot M9.
I remembered to have suffered an identical issue about one month ago, and no wipe was useful. the problem disappeared by itself the day after, and the a battery calibration it seemed to be the only helpful thing. but I was wrong.
I connected the fact that the problem appeared the first time the 31 of july. and, coincidentally, yesterday was the 31 of August.
believe it or not, by changing the date the problem was totally disappeared. completely solved.
so I suppose that it's a bug related to the system date, incapable to handle correctly the 31 of each month. very, very strange.
maybe (probably) it's not the solution for everyone who found this issue, but if you notice an abnormal battery drain by the android.systemui process, try to change the system date.

I came across this thread thru google search since I was having a huge amount of battery drain due to System UI on my Note 4 running custom ROM since yesterday.
And to my surprise, your 'strange' solution did work on my device.
Though its hard to justify since i didn't find any unusual wakelock/alarm for system date in Gsam/Betterbatterystat/Amplify but it did work.
Thanks for sharing.
Googled "System UI drain" and came to this thread, although I have Nexus 5X. I have read last two posts and thought "****, the problem looks just like mine, but the solution seems unrepeatable". Then I looked at the date - 31st of May. I will wait till tomorrow.
:laugh:
I hav been using moto g for the past 3 months. The phone worked perfectly for the 1st month. But after 1 month there is some battery drain issue.
When the phone is in standby the battery drain unexpectedly fast. i get a screen time of only abt 1.5 hours. During the night the battery come down by 25-30%(3g and wifi are both off). I have factory reset the phone but the problem still persists. I have also tried to keep the phone in safe mode when i go to sleep but the battery still drains heavily. The Battery drain in expected amount when i am using the phone. Battery saver apps doesnt seem to help the battery life. Thanx in advance.
Since you are on 4.4.2 could it be the mm-qcamera-daemon problem? The process is well known for causing battery drain if there are certain apps installed (like Snapchat or Skype).
Also known is higher battery drain after using GPS.
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654180 gives you some ideas how to isolate your problem

I have installed Skype. Maybe it is the cause. Thanks a lot for linking me to d right thread.
You're welcome!
So uninstalling Skype (or just updating? Not shure if there has been a recent fix) maybe help. Or wainting for 4.4.3 which shouldnt take too long

I have uninstalled Skype. but the battery still came down by abt 10% last night. so there may be another problem. 4.4.3 hopefully comes with a solution to the skype problem.

I have the feeling my answers seem a bit chaotic... Sorry for that.
Well at least now you know that Skype not seems to be the issue. I should have stated already that you could try an app like "Gsam Battery Monitor" or "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). They give you a detailed list of processes that consume battery.
Unfortunately I can not tell if and how good the work without root
I have tried gsam battery app. It jus showed normal stats nothing out of the ordinary... I have installed greenify n added a bunch of apps to it which I thought drains more battery. but Battery life has not increased.
I looked at d link from ur earlier reply. Many users face d same problem but for some of them rebooting solves the problem.
Don't think any installed apps r causing it.
I have switched over to ART runtime because I read that it has better battery efficiency. I'll use it for a couple of days n chk.
The battery drain graph when screen is off seems a bit steep than normal. Maybe it's a bug in 4.4.2.
After updating my Z3's firmware to Lilipop, I'm facing huge battery drain. In kitkat, when returning home battery remained 55%. After update, I found it 30-35%. Note that my usage pattern didn't change.
How can I get rid of it?

There is another thread for this issue.
Does there have the solution? Please share the link.
Many users reported that a factory reset fixed their problems. Only downside is that you have to reconfigure your phone
done factory reset manytimes but the drain remains..
seems like radio being active by apps is the problem
i'd love to post screenshots but since i am new here you know i am unable
Have you tried using BBS (better battery stats) to isolate the drain? And also try setting "keep wifi in sleepmode" to never or only when connected. Have heard of that working wonders for some.
And the screenshot thing can be overcome by uploading it to a different site and posting only the links
Preper yourself for NO notifications, if you put WI-FI to sleep.
I have wifi asleep and still get notifications. Maybe a little less frequent, but that's because stamina mode is working better (in my opinion) and only checks once in a while for new notifications

That' s the Queue background data option that is doing that.
So there ARE notifications Vs what you said that there would be none. I rest my case here
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
@ OP, I also ticked the option that other apps may not use wifi for location even when wifi is off. I believe that may also cost you some juice

thanks for suggestions ..
It's funny how my phone ran normal for the first week now the phone is being drained by Facebook and feedly, I have made no changes in any settings and its happening now. Haven't looked into the problem yet but don't even know is it third party issues lol.
One thing I found out is that the battery tend to drain at a lesser rate if you leave the phone charged for an extra 20 mins or more after hitting 100%. Just a speculation

So, blame facebook for the battery drain.
There is an option where you can make the phone play a sound when is fully charged.

Just clean flash stock ftf.. Ota just sucks. I did it and my battery returned to prime life again.

I doubt that the reason we have the same problem is the same, but since I know how to post a screen cap, here's mine:

Hey,
my battery life seems to vary, maybe wakelocks? I am not rooted so I can't check. Some days I get 7-8 hours sot, however today (a day at university with wifi connection) my battery life is terrible, mobile network standby and Android system seem to be battery hogs.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Screenshot attached
I wanted to post the same thing... I haven't even installed all my apps on the new phone,
and I get terrible battery drain especially in standby, it's losing 20% overnight.
Then I factory reset it and it seems a little better now, but it's too unstable...
I was expecting better to be honest, and I only had it for less then a week...
How was your cell reception? Having bad reception has a big toll on battery performance, at least in my experience.
There have been reports of other users on battery drain with certain themes installed. What theme are running and could you compare with the default theme?
same here, not found the cause yet but tempted to do a full reset and start from scratch.
For wakelocks non root, download wakelock detector lite, you just enable it via a chrome app and usb debug, will have to do it when you restart the phone but thats not so often now days.

In my house the reception is not very good, but that's why I set it to 2G and turn off mobile data, leave it only on Wifi.
Did not install any theme, default everything. But really, can a theme cause battery drain ?
Me too
The battery standby stability is not great is it?
I'm currently turning on "battery saver" when I am not using the phone - a slight pain, I know, but it does seem to have helped, a bit.
Will keep an eye on it and let you know (I am hoping to get away with charging the phone every two days rather than every day).
Will see if that proves possible - FWIW, for me, it seems that Ourlook and Bluemail are two key culprits. I have changed the settings on Bluemail from Push to Fetch every 15 mins, which has helped, but of course you cannot do this on Outlook. Well done Microsoft.
At this rate I'll end up using the "extreme" power saving mode
I know battery usage will never be consistent among different users, but the background drain is too much (based on what I see here and the other thread). If you can figure out your background drain you'll be sorted.
I know Dropbox had a bug that affected a lot of people recently, where it would keep the phone awake for hours at a time, they sorted it out in a BETA but not sure if its been pushed to stable yet.
I'd recommend everyone to download BetterBatteryStats, give it permissions via ADB and then use your phone normally until you reach 10% and see what is keeping the phone awake. My phone drains less than 1% an hour overnight (typically lose 4-5% over an 8-9 hour period.)
By the way, it is VERY common amongst the U11 and U11+ for mobile network standby to appear very high. It always does, even when I get 7-8 hours SOT, the mobile drain appears high. I think the battery stats are a bit bugged if I am honest. Sometimes it will say Spotify has been using battery in the background for 10 hours, yet it drains less than 1% and doesn't show up on battery historian. Other times it will say Nova is using 50% battery with 10 minutes screen usage (even though my phone has been running for 30+ hours). Doesn't always make sense.
My experience with battery drain is that I don't have any issues. As others have said, it will be different for different users depending on apps running in the background.
I have over 100 apps installed, some are running in the background, but I usually have 50% left most days. My battery drains really slowly. Couldn't be happier.
I think there is som bug with software
Hi there,
This is the problem I have with this HTC U11+ battery: if I don't reboot the phone after charging, kernel is always awakes
If you reboot your phone regularly you won't notice this.
I wonder if it is a common problem to U11+ and if HTC knows this.
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------
This is CPU
It has raisen to 100% during charging and never changed.
Seems more like a software issue.
I would try seeing what apps maybe like to wake up when charged (anything that backs up only when charging etc) or do a factory reset.

I did factory reset, wipe cache, everything... Unfortunately there are many people with this problem since the last software update, so I think it's something HTC related that must be fixed.

Not here maybe but I'm Italian and I'm talking about an Italian forum where we are trying to understand what happens exactly.
By the way this is another thing I noticed
Of course any help would be appreciated. ?
Same here.
I have the China version U11+. After I upgraded to 1.24 via OTA, battery draining has become a serious problem, even in airplane mode.
I have solved it after I noticed the problem by doing a factory reset.
I have the European U11+ and I'm experiencing very fast battery draining after the latest OTA update too.
With me it's Google Play services causing the problem even in airplane mode and with extreme power saving on

I don't think it's play services' problem… Because the maximum battery consumption is caused by the EPS.
Maybe it's a bug made by HTC. They may change some files after the update, but forget to deal with the case of these files have been generated. So my problem was solved after factory resetting.
I use Google apps too, they don't cause battery draining if everything goes well.
I reached out to HTC as I noticed an absolutely huge decrease in battery life. I was asked to calibrate the battery and that seems to have stopped the issues at the moment. Email I received had the following instructions:
Recalibrate the battery/charging logic with the following steps:
•Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
•With the device truly OFF while still being plugged into the wall outlet, push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button, for 2 minutes.
•Let go. Device will boot up, and battery/charging logic are re-calibrated.
I tried that and then reset it and I've been getting about a day since then. It's definitely linked to the last software update despite what they'll try and say.

I have to agree that something is happening with the software, and moreover, since last week the drain became really noticeable.
I was losing around 15% by night, so what I did to fix it was the following:
Clear cache of Sense Home
Disable the apps I was not using; for me those were:
Weather
HTC Account
Device configuration
Google Documents (didn't let me uninstall, but Sheets and Presentation let me)
Duo
Zoe Video Editor
Facebook
Facebook App Manager
HTC Alexa
HTC AppCloud
HTC Sense Companion
Instagram
Messenger
News Republic
VR Google Services
TouchPal
Clear cache from recovery
After doing this, the drain was gone and I was getting 2%-3% drain overnight again, and so far, is behaving properly now.
Maybe you guys can try.

I've ended up doing something similar- starting in safe mode I found that I wasn't getting the same drastic battery drain so I removed/disabled some apps, including HTC Weather and Touchpal, same as you. Now battery life seems much better and Google Play Services isn't causing a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic....:good:
Hey guys so recently my Pixel 2 has been draining battery and I don't know why. I feel as though this had started happening right after the February 5 security update but i don't know if that makes sense... Any ideas on what could be causing the drain in battery? I have a screenshot to show you guys that Android System seems to be causing the issue. I have wifi scanning off too which I have seen can affect battery
