So I am currently running Virtuous Affinity and I seem to be having problems with an Android OS bug...but I'm not sure how I can fix it...if there is a fix. Below I have posted a screenshot showing that Android OS has used up over 40% of my battery. I have barely used my phone today other than checking my email a couple of times and one 10 minute phone call. Usually when my battery drains, it is because of the display, but lately I've been having more drain coming from the Android OS processes. The Android OS shouldn't be using that much of the battery should it? Does anyone have any suggestion for a fix?? Should I try a different Kernel...or maybe try using one of the OC/UV apps? Thank you for any suggestions.
I never have any problem with my battery, which rom are you using CM 7 or sense, what kernel?

There doesn't appear to be anything unusual running in the background. I even restart my phone as soon as I unplug it in the morning. But the Android OS thing seems more like a bug.

I am running Virtuous Affinity. It is a sense 3.5 Rom. I believe that the kernel that it came with is the Virtuous V10 kernel. I have not made any overclocking/undervolting modifications as the Rom is supposed to have some of those settings built in.

That Rom although its smooth still has some bugs I suggest switching to dark side sense or RcMix 3d for now

Yeah...I just don't know if it's necessarily a ROM issue. I had Virtuous Unity which was a pretty stable ROM and the Android OS problem popped up there too. Some days I'm fine when I just reboot in the morning...I can use it pretty heavily and it will last me all day. Other days it seems like something triggers the bug...and I can't pin down any one thing that does it. I'm going to try adjusting the voltage and cpu settings and see if maybe it is a problem with the built in governor. If not, I might switch to CM7 and see if that has the same problem...at least then I'd know that it is definitely an issue with the phone itself.
Android Tasks with Minimize/Exit option
Need to know whatif all Andriod applications have a mandatory Minimize/Exit option, so that the user can decide if they can run in background or be exited??
In case of older applications compatibility issue, perhaps this feature can be built onto the device OS itself.
This shall ennsure only the apps we require to be open parallely shall remain open, remaining can be exited, saving memory, improving performance, and increasing battery life.

I've run into this on different ROM's as well. When I notice the OS eating up the battery, restarting the phone seems to fix the problem. I believe I read around here to try different radio's to see if that helps. I'm in the process of auditioning a few to see if they has any effect.
I have for similar issues in Miui.us 2.2
I tried latest Virtuous unity too, but battery just goes down in the rate of 1hr =10% battery, with background sync off and lowest possible brightness, with no GPS.
In Miui i get 30% more battery life than unity, but still bad life from stock.
Not sure how people are getting morethan a day.
Some one in a thread said it could be the kernel, some say battery calibration(which i already did) and some say its bad battery(its same battery have a day last week with stock ROM).
Anyone, better suggestion?

Try the MIUI build (any). If you like the nexus one builds you will definitely love the MIUI build. If you don't like the iphone looking style just install ADW or launcher pro from the market. You will also need to use an android friendly wm rom. Use vbn with excellers multiple build loader both are found in the android development section. When you use the build loader app chose auto boot 3 seconds, ( you will know what I'm talking about when you are in the app). Hope this helps
i tryed just about every rom, got atleast 24hrs with all of them. most were 48+ with conditioning... for me bat life was more an isue of shutdown voltage in the kernel than any thing else..

Strange some people say to switch to that from Desire or Desire HD builds because it has better battery life ?
I am running
MDJ Revolution 1.7 with MDJ 7.6HD Kernel
Radio 2.15.50.14
I find that the above radio is better on battery than my previous 2.12.50.xx
Also the Kernel is better too.
But it depends on how much you play with your phone I get 3 - 7ma drain on my current setup but of course when you start calling or playing games it will easily go up to 200ma.
I find the above rom very stable I can't find anything that doesn't work and its fast enough for me I don't notice any lag or freezing.
I was thinking of switching to your ROM to try but if the battery life is that bad then I may stick with this.
guyz lil but of an update here still on the same rom and i've manged to last 14 hours and i still have 72 % in the battery, with very little usage a couple of texts couple minutes of browsing and some music
im using setcpu greenpower and advanced task killer
ssetcpu is at the minimum
advanced task killer set to auto kill - crazy (means it kills apps as soon as screen goes off)
greenpower set to manage wifi and mobile data, turns off wifi and data when there is low traffic and turns it off as soo ans the screen goes off
its working for me so far so just wanted to post it up incase anybody else wanted to know
Is there anyway to increase the battery life on the aria? I love it, and I love sense, but within about twelve or so hours of moderate use in the day my battery is left with roughly 20%. With cyanogenmod, the same period of time and usage, I was left at 60% battery. I know the sense launcher and Widgets play a little part of that, but even with my hero, battery life wasn't that much of a difference between vanilla and sense roms.

I would suggest an App killer. I have yet to try cyanogen's ROM but am on Attn1's Liberated Rom. I have Bluetooth enabled all day and by the end of 12hrs it is at 25% or so. Not saying switch. I would try Advanced task killer. Have many friends using that on their EVO's and Nexuses and their battery is wayyyy better.

I have read somewhere on the google (official google page about android stuff), using task killers does NOT improve battery life because background apps stated as "suspended" when they are in background. I dont know if I get it right. I will post link if I can find.
P.S. Couldn't find it but it was something similar with this:
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Of course, you must take control off applications really "running" in background and preventing the phone sleep state. Not just "killing" all applications.

* I've resisted the urge to switch, only because I've heard wildly conflicting stories about how fast it runs on the Aria.
don't use task killer it will kill the app but the app will just start up again in the background cause the battery to run out. it says its in the background and that's true but its not running its idle and isn't affecting battery.

You might want to try out an app called Autostarts. Just make sure you don't turn anything off you really are gonna need. Try this with advanced task killer and the apps wont load back up.

Check that you do not have an app constantly running in the background - on my stetup, I found that the XDA app was burning 3-5% CPU time spooling in the background doing nothing. (using OSMonitor)
For what its worth, I went back to the Sense ROM (FR008) from CM6.1 because of strange battery behavior - some days dropping to 30-40% after a full day, others it would be dead by 5pm. I dont consider my self a heavy user either. I do not see a significant difference in battery life between the two ROMs, if you throw out the aberrant days that CM would go nuts on me.

Hey all,
Quick question - for some reason I have really dodgy battery life in any of the most recent Android builds. This includes the Sense HD and the SuperRAM builds, with both recent MDJ & Hastarain Kernels.
If I leave the device in my pocket for a couple of hours, in standby, the "Battery Use" claims the Display is the primary cause for my battery use.
Just looking at it now, Android System and Android OS are both on 12% and the display is at 57%. That's after the display being mostly off......
I've tried three ROMS, including VBN's Android build, an official 1.66 HTC build and an official 3.14 HTC build. Furthermore, I've tried the 2.15.50.14 and 2.10.50.28_2 Radio's, both recommended for good battery life.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon

Phew, it's not just me then! If I could be bothered I'd dig up an old sense build with and old kernel and see what happened. However I can't remember which one worked best as I change my ROM on what feels like a daily basis!
I have been using this as my daily build but I really wish there was something I could do about the battery drain. If it is something about the phone that I can't change or if a different kernel or something would help, I wish I knew. Any help would be appreciated.

it's not just you indeed, it's everyone there's at least two threads already about this.
Well, I dont really think its killing my battery life, however i did notice that its lower than when running winmo, I checked the settings and it says display is using 60% of power, I didnt really think anything of it as i guessed the display is easily the thing that requires the most power. So perhaps I have this problem too? I dont really know
Winmo I would get a day, perhaps a day and a half if i was lucky, android i get a day.

That's the thing you see, if the display is off for 2 hours, on for say 3-4 mins while I check my e-mail, it's still at a really high figure. Yes the display causes battery drain, but no where near that much.
I wonder if it's purely a kernel thing??
I only get 5% on my display battery drain.

I've noticed it depends what Android rom your using. The issue for me is either the Android System OS is using 60% & over or the display is using 60% and over. Either way the display or the system is the battery eater in my case lol.

What eating mine is cell standby and wifi, both 35-40% while android system is only 20% and display is 5%.
Sent from my HD2 Droid using XDA App
My display always takes up more than 60% of the power usage, but I have had builds where it's reported very low, I don't pay much attention to that anymore, they're probably not that accurate.
I did ran a quick test the other day of battery usage in winmo vs android. In standby both android and winmo were about 3-6ma. On the dimmest setting with no app running, winmo used 78ma, and android used 95ma, so it's a little higher, but not extreme.
I'm running at a crazy 67%...
For the heck of it, turned off all radio, left thephone @ 70%. Came back 1 hour later, tells me this percentage and the phone is at 63%...
Weather it's the Cell Standby, Display, Wifi or the Android OS, something is always taking power. If your phone drains completely in an hour or a day, the battery usage is just telling you what is drawing the most power percentage wise. 3mA or 300mA, it accounts for 100% of what's being used,screen off or not.
My android os only uses like 5% maximum, display is usually 60 though

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!
Are you experiencing high battery drain or high o.s readings in battery stats? I've had this problem for over a year running any aosp rom. I've tried everything. Was told its a rogue app...etc, etc. I finally fixed the problem. Its Google doing it to us. Now for some, the issue doesn't happen but for others simply open your battery stats and look into your high o.s reading by pressing it. In the reading you will see GoogleBackupTransport. That is the culprit. Now using root explorer navigate to system/app then mount system and then locate Google Transport. Its normally right under Google contact sync. Delete it and restart your phone then enjoy your battery again. Check battery stats and you will see your o.s drop. Its taking me awhile to figure it out but it really does work. Try it and tell me your results. Post pics of before and after.

I've wondered the same thing. I can't find anything on it either. Its just something that runs in the background sucking on the juice. It comes bundled in gapps and comes loaded in miui/dxrom. I thought it would screw up logging in on Google or what not but nothing. Also thought it had to do with restoring my apps but if that's the case, I'll restore my own apps than burn battery.

Never had the issue with Sense. That's why I stuck to Sense. I'd flash stock and up to the charts with o.s readings then as soon as I'd go back to Sense it would drop.

That's what I thought.....I just checked on my Sense 3.5 (HoneySmartDroid), and I didn't even see the O.S. on the list of battery uses. But in Sense, Google Maps takes the place of Google Transport in AOSP. It is constantly running in the background, even in multitasking. Kept hearing to clear data then force close, never worked. So I just uninstalled!

I've seen people say after charging it reboot the phone and it will lower. I've heard rogue apps did it but I'd never install apps. I've heard to not check in setup to allow Google to keep my phone backed up and it still would climb. No real explanation. I've even seen people with the galaxy nexus complain to Google on their website about high o.s drain and they didn't know. I've deleted it and haven't had a single issue with any Google related stuff.

Decided to give it a try. Took MIUI search out too. Com.Android.sidekick

Awesome. Huge difference in system battery use. Works on the galaxy S running cm7 also. Thanks

Is it available in ICS roms too? I thought I was the only one that thought the battery drain was not typical on the mt4g when I was on cm7. Good to know there's something to fix it. But now, I'm on feby's ICS rom. I'm wondering if it is here too to remove.

Yes, it should be. Anytime you flash gapps it puts it on your system so febs rom probably has it too.

For all of those wondering if it is on Sense Roms. I was reading this thread so I decide to check out my battery consumption. And sure enough there it was.... Maybe Google has recently started pulling data?
This is on Virtuous Unity

I downloaded BetteryBatteryStats 1.7.1.0 based on what you said in another thread. My Android OS is high, but it's not a process anyone mentioned.
Under Process, "suspend" is the highest, followed by Tapatalk XDA.
Under Partial Wakelocks, the highest is ConnectivityService (Android System process). All others have nominal usage.
I'm running IceColdInsomnia 7.0 and have only had this issue for the last two days. Before that, I was able to go two full days (light usage) without charging. Yesterday, I couldn't even make 12 hours with light usage, and today I'm already at 60% (before noon...).
Any suggestions? Am I using the correct BetterBatteryStats?
I was so stoked the first few days I used ICI because the battery life was absurdly good. Now I can't even make it to dinner time (or a charger) before it dies.
Forgot to mention, running Shot of Awesomeness kernel. Not sure if this is relevant, since I was using it when the battery life was both absurdly good and absurdly bad.

Kernel sounds like the problem. Try using the stock kernel the rom came with and test it out for a couple days. Kernels take a few days to settle in so that's why you were getting good and then poor results. I saw someone say in the inferno kernel thread that they flashed 1.5 and it fixed o.s. readings. Just read the thread to make sure nothings changed. Too many ics roms to keep up with.

I'll give that a try once my phone is fully charged. Thanks!
still the same

Are you experiencing high battery drain or high o.s readings in battery stats? I've had this problem for over a year running any aosp rom. I've tried everything. Was told its a rogue app...etc, etc. I finally fixed the problem. Its Google doing it to us. Now for some, the issue doesn't happen but for others simply open your battery stats and look into your high o.s reading by pressing it. In the reading you will see GoogleBackupTransport. That is the culprit. Now using root explorer navigate to system/app then mount system and then locate Google Transport. Its normally right under Google contact sync. Delete it and restart your phone then enjoy your battery again. Check battery stats and you will see your o.s drop. Its taking me awhile to figure it out but it really does work. Try it and tell me your results. Post pics of before and after.

What if I didn't delete it but rename it to GoogleTransport.apk.bak instead?
Is it because the kernel? I'm currently using :
