Hi guys, attached is a screenshot from earlier today, which shows that the phone was awake even though it was in Flight Mode. I was writing practice exam, so there's no way this should have happened, especially when I'm 100% sure that I had set Sync off!
Any ideas? I have Badass Battery Monitor and Better Battery Stats, but I'm unable to find out what actually kept phone awake...
Thanks!

Some users have reported the same on CM-based roms. Did you examine wakelocks in BBS?

I tried to make some sense into it, but I got confused.
Attached here, I'm sure you stand a far better chance at understanding these than I ever would!

Hi,
How could we know without more details?
At least post some screenshots of the battery history, battery graph...
Maybe you have a ton of wakelocks, try to see with Better Battery Stats.
Sorry I did attach more pictures but didn't upload. Here is another.

Ah..., It would have been useful to have it.
You had a good signal?
Go to Settings/Wi-Fi/Menu/Advanced settings, is "Always search" ticked?
Here is some, the XDA app only lets me upload one at a time. Sorry/

Very bad signal, even no signal-> could result in a huge battery drain because the phone is always searching the signal...

Well, does it charge while you have connected it to a Wall(AC) charger? Does the Battery indicate that it's charging??
Yes it does indicate. But the percentage did not move. This happened yesterday as well so I drained it then charged fine as normal. Any advice.
Thanks

No clue m8.. It's surely weird. You could try to flash factory images and see whether it fixes or not... Follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Wait for a while and see whether someone else comes up with a solution.. If not, follow the above thread..

Try a different wall charger or try charging it via a computer/laptop and see if it charges? May be a faulty charger?
Yes I'll do what I did yesterday. I'll keep u updated, thanks for the help so far though,much appreciated!!! I currently have 53% for 45mine screen on. I might try a battery calibration app too because I am rooted....

If you aren't using your phone regularly then Android OS/SystemUI/phone idle will always be at the top of the list!
Since you're rooted, install BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector and see which apps are preventing your device from sleeping... Also, Install greenify and hibernate all apps except the ones which you would like to get notifications from like whatsapp...
OK thanks, will do that now. Any idea what is draining my battery ( see PIC)

Seems normal... Even I have the same... You can't make out by looking at it... You need apps Like Wakelock Detector : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
Follow these steps:
1. Open Wakelock Detector settings and put a tick on "Statistics Since unplug"
2. Charge your device for sometime.
3. As soon as you remove the device from charge, turn off the screen and don't use it for few hours.
After few hours, Turn on the screen and open wakelock detector and check "Wakeup Triggers", "Kernel Wakelock" and "CPU Wakelock" and see what's preventing the device from sleeping...
Now once you Greenify those applications, you ought to have a good battery life!

Hi all,
Because my android system etc were using alot % of my usage (more than my SOT), I used betterbatterystats to look into it.
Now I ran it a full day, but to be honest I don't understand a thing from this app.
How do I find what is causing my battery drain?

Go into the Kernel Wakelocks, Partial Wakelocks, and Alarms sections and post screenshots of the stats please.
Is this enough info?

What other section? Process etc?
So i went to bed and put my phone on airplane mode when it was 27%
I wake up 9 hours later and see that i have 15% left.
That is not normal!

I meant literally the section that is titled "other". You've shown it in one of those screenshots. You have the device awake for about an hour longer than the screen was actually on. Do you use Greenify to.stop apps from running in the background when you're not using them? Are you turning off non-essential services (GPS etc) when not in use?
Transmitted via Bacon
I don't use greenify.
Gps, nfc and bluetooth are always off (unless i use them).
I use lux for auto brightness.
My performance profile is always on balanced.
Those last screens were frome when i woke up.
So the phone was indeed longer in usethan my wake up time.
I saw before i went to sleep, that my wakeup time was 1hour and 20mins more than my screen on time

It's probably worth looking into using Greenify, and auto-brightness is usually a battery killer.

Settings / battery. THe page before the graph you posted - which apps are listed there, and what are the %? (That said, you use the phone a lot - there is a lot of screen on/ awake time on your graph. Turn the screen brightness down maybe?)

I am also getting the issue. I'm on 6-7, 24.3.7, rooted, and if I use it intensely it will go down to 14% before 3:30 PM. I'm surprised, as the issue never happened when I got the phone new.
If your screen is 42%, you're just using it a lot. The Mini has a small battery. Maybe you can try setting brightness down, but it looks like this is drain because you use it rather than a runaway app or process.
That said, Google Play services and Google services have been running high on my usage list lately. There's not much you can do about that, except maybe turn off background sync, which sort of negates the reason I bought a smartphone in the first place.
Battery Doctor
Guys, I have been using Battery Doctor for few days, I have noticed positive effect on battery life. Maybe someone is interested to try..
