Its an odd one was working for a few days then now GSAM ceases to show application battery usage .
I tried placing GSAM app exempt for battery optimization and also even tried putting it inside the never sleeping app list under battery usage menu.
Anything I missed ? Cheers
I'm using GSAM Pro on my N9860 and I have all my app stats showing since I used the ADB command to enable more stats a few days ago. I've disabled battery optimisation altogether for the app. I have not added it to the never sleeping apps because it cannot be added there once optimisation is disabled.

I remember having the same issue after some time with my s10 plus also, don't remember how I resolved it. But it appears samsung is using aggressive hibernation methods within their devices OS according to
https://dontkillmyapp.com/
Either way, I deleted app and reinstalled again and added to my never sleeping app list. So far working .

Hi,
I am not sure if this should be posted to specific forum for my Moto X. If so, please let me know.
The battery drains very quickly. I used CPU spy and it showed that phone never enters deep sleep, even though I barely uses it.
How could I found out which application is preventing the sleep?
Thanks
Like Sewrizer said, search for a wakelock detector on google play store and lock your screen for some time
It should show you which app is causing this problem
I have Moto X with 4.4 and no root. It looks like Wake Lock Detector would need root on 4.4. Is that right?
Thanks
betterbatterystatus is also a good app that helps with analysis of battery drain.
Anyway in the case you know you only need to check wakelocks, but I would still recommend BBS for you (of cource, BBS can analysis wakelocks as well)
@redhonker
BBS did not work in 4.4.4 in non rooted mode.
It happened to me on Moto g. Some culprit app drained battery. So i used DS battery and greenify together.
DS battery- Slumberer mode (This forces deep sleep i guess)
Greenify- Allows you to shut down nonsense background apps.
Now phone is back to normalcy. Again CM battery doctor listed some music app as "Fast draining" I uninstalled some.
As general advice:
Disable auto sync and poll frequency of your email and other apps and get back your motto x. Enjoy
Press Thanks if helped.

I thought greenify needs root as well. Will try it.
This KitKat change is really bad. I don't know why they want to prevent users to know more about their battery usage.
What is CM battery?
Thanks
Greenify has a hack for non root. You can enable hibernate feature from home up button for screen lock pin enabled devices through experimental menu.
For non - pin screen lock devices go to experimental menu click "automated hibernation". This will enable hibernation after screen off.
I prefer home button scroll up menu for " hibernate + lock screen ".
CM battery doctor was previously KS battery doctor. I just use it to kill apps and know battery % left in status bar.
Remember no battery saver app is useful for non root devices because ability to control is much lessor.
Rooted battery savers can limit cpu usage, kill apps and prevent again from Android picking up.
Greenify an exception beyond 4.0 devices.

This post will benefit all not just @OP
To identify bg apps that suck your internet and battery just install No root firewall and check access log. Uninstall those apps that keep pinging servers outside for adverts etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.greyshirts.firewall&hl=en
Eg: Nova launcher access advertisements on avg of 4/sec. Do decide which one is best for you.
You can even control system apps like Motorola updates etc.

CM/KS battery doctor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=en
As you see CM reports higher battery available time than DS battery saver.
I suspect former (CM) is more publicity driven and not sure about its performance. While DS is good.
Please press THANKS if interesting. Sent from Moto G-od via xt1033 free Android app.
One more way to analyze usage
1. Press following
*#*#4636#*#*
2. Or download phone testing app which does the above for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.testing.phone&hl=en
3. Click "Usage Statistics" -> "Usage time"
This does not require memory intensive app or root as it comes pre installed on your phone. Enjoy.

I run Mobiwol and block all apps I don't think need internet access. Plus AdblockPlus to remove advertisement trafficc. (I wish I have root then I need only one app).
Without root on 4.4, how much these can do?
I installed GSam. The frustrating thing is that most of application usage is by Android System and Kernel: 9 and 5 out of 34.
Thanks
Thanks for all the pointers.
With a few tries with GSAM, I was able to identify 2 rouge applications. Surprisingly, one is Google+. Since I don't use it, it's uninstalled.
I also recently moved to a different spot in office. The data signal apparently is bad from time to time. So I used llama to turn off data in office and wake up every 10 min to check for message.
This allowed me to go through the day without a recharge. Still not happy about battery life but that's ok for now.
Thanks
Try the Deep Sleep Battery Saver app mentioned earlier. Should solve your issue, since it forces deep sleep!
I get tired of talking about this issue after updating my S7 to android Nougat.
My screen-off draining too much battery. I've deleted cache partition and reset app preferences but i don't see any changes.
I've checked with GSam and it shows that Comibined App CPU used battery a lot (about 80%).
I wonder if you could help me on this issue

Hi mate
That information is not enough to solve the problem you need an app like BBS to find out who is the culprit....let it run for a few hours and check the logs....from there we can take action
i am also having the same problem. combined app cpu 80-90% also my download manager and mtp host, media manager are draining battery. when i disabled those, it helps but the i cant access Google play or anything on sd card.
Hello all!
I've had my S8+ model 955FD for a month now, and I installed GSAM battery monitor app since the beginning. I used the adb commands to enable the "more stats" option. My question is about the graph the app shows. I see the bar associated to DOZE at the same time as the bar associated to ACTIVE. It's like the phone is dozing and at the same time an app is triggering a wakelock, which is kind of confusing. I don't know if it is an app error. Also, the ACTIVE bar is almost filled up all the time. Let me know what you think might be causing this and if it also happens to any of you.
Normally when I put apps manually in deep sleep they don't do anything , run , wake up or use background data, send notifications , more so when their mobile data is restricted as well as their background activity. The highlighted even show as "manually disabled " within the apps menu. Yet they are showing up usage in background process within GSAM monitor.
Any ideas lads?
Edit. I checked their status under Dev menu, they were set to working _set , changed them to Frequent and will monitor.
It's a bloody joke , that deep sleep or sleeping apps setting under device care.
Just checked a few of my apps that are set to deep sleep aka manually disabled. Yet within Dev menu, their status is Active under standby apps.
Here's one example.
I checked mine and the apps are not "disabled" when I add them to deep sleep. I can still open the app, which would be impossible if the app was disabled.
I wouldn't trust the dev option as an indication that the app isn't sleeping (aka running in the background)... I have apps listed in mine that I haven't used yet, and there has been zero activity in the apps at all (battery use or otherwise).
Double check the battery use of the app and see if it is running in the background.
**Never mind, just woke up here and saw your first post edit. Hopefully the issue gets resolved for ya

Yeah you're right. The dev option status for those apps running or not appears to be variable ,.changing them changes them back to whatever they want to be i believe.
I was just shocked ( not really ) I had those highlighted two or three apps in deep sleep status via the battery care menu, yet when my device was left sleeping and untouched for 2 hours I opened GSAM and it showed those very same apps as being used in the background as the top five usage lol
I use Nap Time by Francisco Franco to put the phone in a deep doze. Been using it on all my phones for several years now. Just need a couple adb commands for it to work on an unrooted phone.

I'm good with 0.5 to 0.4% usage per hour in standby, however I might look into that in the near future if it may improve them. Current issue on hand if at all any might be SOT. I'm currently averaging similar figures to my last Samsung device which was an S10+
I guage all my devices battery performance by how much screen on time I can attain for around 40% of battery consumption. Currently averaging 4.5 hours. Was hoping for 6 plus but they might be over optimistic considering the 4370mAh battery.

With Nap Time I only lose 3-4% in a 12 hour overnight. I also have a lot oy Samsung bloat disabled too.
Hi
I'm on a stock Samsung Note 10+ 5G. I normally disable unused apps with Tasker and only load them as I need them, my primary aim to reduce battery drain. I wanted to see how good Android 12 was at controlling apps battery usage so I've enable all my apps, and put them into the following states:
Mobile Data - I've turned "Allow background data usage" to OFF
Under the battery section, each app is Restricted
I've removed from "Optimise battery usage" section, so they are being battery optimised
Under Developer Options, Standby Apps, I have put each app into Restricted mode
Most apps are behaving fine, but I'm getting quite a few apps over time using battery. When I check under GSAM, all of them have the same wakelock which is Google_C2DM. The apps typically are not active (i.e. when I check in the app manager, "Force Stop" is greyed out) and they are listed as "Manually Disabled". I've tried killing the apps, clearing cache on the apps and the phone, restarting etc but cannot get them to entirely stop battery usage. Is there a solution for this and any idea why its the same Google_C2DM wakelock?
thanks
I myself am investigating YouTube app battery usage and that component is also listed at the top in GSAM.
