searching and reading can show you everything you need to know.

Only thing ive disabled is google play apps auto update.
My brightness is always at max and disabling auto updates helped me out greatly. You really don't need latest updated apps to run. Just go home and update them manually while charging.
My phone goes through over 12 hours on a single charge. But then I am not a heavy user. Just facebook, web browsing, emails when I am not on ky desks. Maybe 1 hour of phone conversation daily.

Use a power manager app. I'm using GO Power Manager, but there are many.

Get better battery stats app and figure out where you wake locks are. Then work on reducing them.

How to kill media server battery drain

For the longest I've had this Media Server issue that would drain my battery by 35% or more and I think I may have figured out how to kill this S.O.B. Go to Settings>under account select Google>click on account> then where it says Google Play Music let it sync once then unselect it.. Haven't seen in since..
Update: Also received this from user: @xdafoundingmember seems to have killed it completely. Thank you sir https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrr.android.mediaserverkiller

got it!!
OK, so mediaserver was killing my battery too. I did some digging with the digging being geared towards media and serving information. Turns out, for me anyway, that the Google play store was using twice the amount if background data as it was foreground data so, I checked the box to restrict background data and vioala!!!! Mediaserver went from using over forty percent to, now, 3 percent. I've been on battery all day from 8am, it's eleven now and I'm at 81 percent writing this.

I had mediaserver killer set to kill on screen on and I had camera FC issues so I set it to intervals and now it's great. Just FYI for those who use it.

What is going on with my system and google?

Android system and Google are eating my battery alive! Screen on time is about 11m and battery is at 84% with a little over 3hrs since discharge.
See screen shot..
Most of my posts are about my battery, sorry for that.. But thanks all at XDA for always helping with my amateur questions! ?

Do you have Google now enabled? If so, disable it. Also if you go into task manager and push the menu button and go to settings, you can stop any services from running. That helped me. Just stop Google services. Also at only 84%, android system usually is at the top of the list. If you look at android system there is a ton of things bundled in there. I'd wait until your batter is discharged a bit more and then check your battery stats. But try the settings in task manager, helped my battery a lot

Acceptable battery drain?

Just curious if 2.5-3% drain an hour is the norm. This is with location off, sync off, Wi-Fi most of the time, auto brightness.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

Depends on phone configuration and check if you have a wake lock.

Also depends what you're doing, just sat on the home screen will use much less power than streaming music.
6 hours screen a per charge seems to be the normal.

I don't even get 3% drain with 6 hours of 'sleep' time with location/sync/wifi on.
You're asking about drain, as in if you're not using the phone?

Yeah, that is not even using the phone. I greenify everything save alarm app and textra
