Hi guys, I'm stuck in this problem from about 2 weeks...and i can't get rid of it. Im on PA with franco kernel. But this would happen with every kernel.
Android OS "keep awake" status grows everytime i turn off the screen. It can reach up to 2hrs with 15 hrs of battery life. If i turn stock ( i did the procedure on sunday) the problem seems to disappear so is not hardware related...
I've just factory wiped my phone and flashed the new pa rom and franco milestone. The Android OS keep active status continues to grow insanely. And ive only gmail installed it seems to grow only when i turn off the screen.
Rom dev told me that is not rom related (no one with pa has the same problem)
Kernel devs told me that is not kernel related
I can now suppose that this is not apps related, Ive flashed common gapss for paranoid rom, that's the stock pack.
What the hell causes this awake status???

as i said...everyone told me this. And i know is true...but i haven't installed anything but the gapps stock (flashed via cwm). And i'm sure that the phone does not have this draining in its default settings...even with everything synced and gps on

So you're saying your phone doesn't have any other apps besides the ones in the /system and you still have Android OS as the battery drainer? Like just ROM + gapps? No 3rd party apps?

yes...this is the situation. I come from a clean installation (factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik -> flash rom+kernel+gapps). Obviously i have the aosp browser and the goo manager...
Another weird thing i've noticed is that i have the voice "operative system" in my mobile data usage that has downloaded 90kb in background. I know that "google services" is related to the account synchronization...but what is this "operative system" ?
ah...ive forgot to say that i i've disabled the "backup and restore from google account" option
no other help?
Disable admobs in Play store and gmail
Disable everything in Play store as a matter of fact (notifications and such)
For me, Android system is taking number two spot in battery usage.. after the screen. I doubt that is normal.. the matr1x kernel was very good as far as I can remember.. I used it for a bit, but the stock will keep the fluidity in lockscreen.. waking takes a split second longer with other kernels.
Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling everything? Maybe install the aokp gapps, which has less items and download the one or two you need for the first few hours.. just to check..
R: Android OS "keep awake" status drains my battery
Just installed xda to say that even with every single little thing disabled...even with WiFi and mobile data off...it keeps growing (5 secs in 10sec of screen off)
Ive tried everythng even return to stock (seems to solve the issue). if i remember well...with pa i can flash only the gapps that come with this rom
It's just weird

R: Android OS "keep awake" status drains my battery
Update
Ive found something really weird...
If i manual sync my account in the google sync menu....the keep active status in my android os stat...fall down in time for about min.
Everytime i manually sinc the account...the keep active status decreases.
Someone has an exlpanation for this?
UPDATE: i've removed and relogged my google account many times. And the Android OS "keep awake" has fallen down from 20mins to 0mins. I will repost later if it comes back
Update: nope...now is growing faster even at screen on. It raised to 4mins in 5secs

Here's a crazy thought... If stock solves the issue, maybe you should just keep it stock?

I would try different roms like rasbean, minco, and others because that problem usually goes away . Just let the ROM settle for a little bit and look on BBS to see what it shows you.

The aosp browser and goo manager are in the /system, not /data. What you should do is install BBS, charge your phone, unplugged it and leave it for at least 4 hours and dump the BBS stat. Don't forget to enable root features so it'll show the alarm stats.
If you're saying that Android OS keeps your phone awake then BBS will show that your phone doesn't go into deep sleep.
R: Android OS "keep awake" status drains my battery
Hi guys...
Turning to stock (franco kernel) seems to have solved the android os keep active status...now it just reaches sometimes a couple of minutes...returning back to 0 without doing anything...even at screen off.
But 25 mins ago ive set a custom reference to BBS and left the phone in standby. I dont know why but tapatalk used the cpu all the time...and never let the phone going to sleep. Ive not even used tapatalk from when the phone booted

Another update in case someone has the same issue.
With a custom kernel the phone has continued to have the issue. The keep active status was lesser than before but it was there at 40mins of awaking the phone
So i had to reset kernel and turn completely stock. Once in stock ive factory resetted the phone going in phone settings.
Now the issue is really gone. However i still dont know what has caused it. Maybe something in the android system settings
If someone has an explanation i would be really grateful

Hi people,
First post here I think, but Ive been around a while.
for the last few weeks ive been having terrible battery life on my Nexus S (i9020) and the battery stats are showing "Android OS" as being the culprit. I have tried loads of different things like a full wipe, remove all my apps etc etc.
I installed the ICS Rom, the Kellmsking MIUI rom and a stock 2.3.6 rom all with the same problem.
Each time i install a new rom, I do a factory reset/wipe, wipe cache, dalvic whatever thingy etc yet i still get the battery issue when I install a few rom.
Anyone got any idea's on what i can do to sort this out?
Ive searched and searched, both here and everywhere else on the net and I cant find any useful information.
Thanks in advance guys.
Did you try wiping battery stats in Advanced menu in CWM?
Also next time you install a ROM go to mounts and storage and format system partition.

Thanks guys, I'll look into those suggestions.
Yup, I wiped battery stats and system etc. pretty much everything that has an option to be wiped, i tried and still have the problem.
I just cant get my head around why its happening though. I've had the phone since march and its been fine all along.
I would try changing battery. Maybe your battery's life just ended...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
but that doesn't explain why "android OS" is giving so much trouble in the battery stats.
I didnt seem to have it after flashing ICS but i had to get rid of that for other reasons (unreliability, crashing rebooting etc).
just downloaded the matrix kernel and am about to flash it.
My phone has been in airplane mode for the last 2 hours or so and i had reset the battery stats just before then. its showing 46% on "Android OS" in the battery stats and only 18% in "Display".
I also have Sync'ing turned off, GPS turned off, bluetooth off etc and no apps installed, yet i still get the battery drain.
Hopefully this kernel does the trick.
Well, what you described makes sense though. Assuming you weren't playing with the phone hardly at all, during that period of time, the OS probably used more power than your display.
heres my battery stats after 12hrs over moderate use...mostly texting at work..n some net

thanks guys.
I installed the matrix kernel last night and its early yet but i think i still have the same problems. the phone was actually off this morning (bout an hour ago) and I had left it only 6 hours previously with 3/4 full so it ran itself dead overnight in standby with not being used.
Im getting really tired of it now, Have tried everything from kernels to roms, removing every app i use etc etc and still im having this problem.
sup people, Little update with some pics of my system. I cant seem to do screen shots on this phone like I do with the Galaxy S so their just photos.
As you can see, in the last 10 hours and 15 mins, Android OS has used 25% of the battery. it was originally higher than the screen usage but i turned the brightness all the way up to see what would happen with the stats.
Its been out of the charger since about 12 O'Clock(4 and a half hours ago) and my battery level is at 37%.
You can see in this one, I installed the Matrix kernel last night and reinstalled 2.3.6 stock rom (rooted).
Any tips or advice is very much welcome guys. Its either that or im gonna end up taking it outside and shooting it.
Well, I went ahead and tried yet another rom. I went with this Oxygen rom from the dev section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
At this moment my battery is at 80% and I have added nothing, not even signed in with my gmail account. Im gonna give it a while and see if it drains excessively again and see if that could help pinpoint the problem.
the kernel has obviously been replaced too, with the one that comes in the Oxygen rom.
When is OTA due?
I'm not quite sure what you mean?
Well its been on for 8 hours now and theres 31% left in the battery. This is with literally no usage in that time.
I'm starting to come around to the thought that the phone itself is faulty so i think ill look into reverting to stock rom, stock recovery, lock bootloader etc and take it to the shop. Anyone got any advice on doing that?

Hello community,
there has been a problem that is driving me insane for a few days. I have had this problem with I think all roms based on android 4.3:
google services keeps my phone awake!
WIth trickster mod I could see that my phone never (!) goes into deep sleep. Wondering about that, I flashed some other 4.3 roms - same result. Google services is No.1 battery consumer. Please don't say... "it's your apps or gps that keeps your smartphone awake" because it is not!
After some research I found that many users, most prominently 4.3 users, have a similar issue. Appearently, there has been some problem with that since one of the latest updates so that either google maps, gps, google now, or services in general cause this drain. Updating did not help, going back to an older gapps version did not help me either.
Finally I went back to miui being based on 4.2.2 and ever since the drain has stopped and my phone enters deep sleep almost immediately after switching the screen off.
Who has the same problems? Has someone found a real solution, other than deactivating all google apps? At least, this did not help me...

Thx I have read it but did not find a solution to my problem as most still suggest to turn off gps or wlan options... Although I have to admit that it is related to my problem but yeah... searching the xda app is more than difficult
one user wrote to stop wifi from constantly scanning... will have to try this the next time I am going back to 4.3 but surely many (or all?) users are suffering from this?
Same problem here.
Flashed XL based on cm10.2 + core jb gapps (20130821) and immediately noticed this insane battery drain. Battery stats showed Google Services as a main cause of the drain, so I did some researching, and found out, that switching Location improvement (Wi-Fi & mobile network location) would walk around that wakelock bug in google services. So I turned it off, and it helped for a couple of days.
Then I decided to sync my contacts with google account, and after a while, I've noticed the battery drain again, but this time nothing helps. I believe I've switched off everything I could in every Google app I have, and yet the drain remains.
Hy im allso having this problem, snice yesterday battery drain from google services ..im still on CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) waiting for stable 10.2 to show up.. I keep all my sync and all locations off, no extra "funny" aps..not even facebook app.
(I have' service disabler ' because my phone was suffering from data lost..consumed by google framework..but it solve it..)
I allso search before posting but no solution since all location services that i have found are off since i have this phone..
Ps. New to nexus. Only about two months.. Any clue? Greets

If you can't find the source of the drain try a factory reset.
We went through so many threads like that, my man.
Do a search.
For the headup, assuming that you have already turned off Android location access, turned off Google location access, turned off auto-sync (I know you said you needed it but just for now, off it), turned off gps/mobile networks, do the following
a. disable Knock On/Off feature
b. disable CIQ (if you don't have CIQ, then ignore this step)
Note: do one by one and make an observation how the battery life behaves after each change.
Oh, btw, reboot the phone, say, right after unplugging the charge.

you should know better than to give stats.... standby hours and battery life is varied alot by user, ambient temperature and etc.
OP if you feel thats not right, flash another rom see if it help, I'm using energy rom, its good for me so far.
Try remove some bloat and apk with titanium... A regular user can often remove 100 apk from these roms! And use bootmanager and greenify! Greenify is must have!

Don't hope, fix now.
If I was you, I would backup all my important personal info on the phone and factory reset it.
I would do those tricks one by one w/o installing any app yet and see how the battery fares after each charge.
General speaking, we need to understand the root cause and find the solution from there, if it needs to be rooted to fix the problem then you root it otherwise, blindly rooting and assuming everything else will fix isn't the right way to debug.

fact reset done , only whatsapp installed. same issue so i installed my other apps as well. im guessing its a kernel issue
This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts
Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?
I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...
Can't root Verizon unfortunately
Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.
Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.
Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

I can't think of a reason it would do this... I feel like an iphone owner
Ironically I see no difference in battery life.... Hahaha. But driving me nuts.
I get through entire day... About 3.5 screen hours on. At 7pm I'm at 20% typically. Maybe that's bad?

I'm usually around 40%. but maybe our app-age is different.
I've updated the Google Play Services to the new version 7.0.87 and this issue seems to have gone.
Find the apk here

Hey,
I'm having issues with my nexus 6p phone where it seems to have some battery drain issues, when i'm checking the battery history the wifi uptime is 100% while it's actually turned off.
What i have tried:
Verifying wifi advanced options - turned everything off and changed freq to 2.4.
Location advanced options - turned everything off.
Looked in the xda forums , found a thread with the above solutions.
It's pretty annoying, my phone is updated to last version(this months update).
Have anyone else faced this issue as-well and solved it somehow?
Thanks in advance.

If you could, please provide some actual battery stats. What is your screen on time? What is the actual battery life? Screenshots please.
Battery drain on Nexus 6P
Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue. I tried few ROMs and Kernels, but since a month and something ago my Nexus 6P is having some serious battery drain issues. Before I managed to get over 5 hours SOT before, but then the battery drains began and now I manage to get only 3 hours and a few minutes at the best.... I turned off all of the potential settings that can affect battery life (scanning and location included) but it didn't help. It seems to me that my phone does not want to Doze (you can see it when you look at last screenshot)...
I am attaching screenshots from BetterBatteryStats (while using stock ROM and Kernel), and another screenshot from Settings->Battery while using ParanoidAndroid build.

I had the same issue for a while, but it has recently stopped. The WiFi usage bar is now empty. I haven't noticed any particular change in battery life whether it shows it or not so I would say it's nothing to worry about.
I've seen reports of this glitch from back when L was released. So it's probably no more than a glitch.

I remember that glitch and I was wondering about that.
I'm on WiFi almost constantly anyway so I can't confirm.

Do you think it's a glitch? Can you please take a look at screenshots provided above by me and confirm it is a glitch or something else? Be it a glitch or not, something is still draining my battery very badly.
Thank you.

Personally, I wouldn't use the Facebook app. It's a huge resource hog. I use the mobile site. The bug discussed didn't actually cause battery drain though, it only showed on the graph as always on. You are most likely getting the drain from elsewhere. Try uninstalling Facebook and give it a 24 hour cycle. See if your results are better.
Also, I always recommend backing up and wiping internal storage once and a while. That can clear up a ton of issues.

If you have Viber, go to General settings and tick "use device's settings" and check if the problem goes away.

Tried factory reset, complete wipe and reflashed stock AOSP ROM and others too.. Didn't help.. Those were the first things that I tried.

I don't have Viber, i went through all my current apps that i am using to verify their settings.
I've tried every possible solution I saw....sadly nothing helped

The same here.
Anybody that may have another solution?
P.S.: It seems to me that my Nexus 6P does not go into Doze Mode.
