hi i make some battery "meters" to compare with others and see if we have a bad battery or something its draining our battery. after several test freezing apps, motoblur services and so on i get some interesting stuff like freezing sometimes motoblur service will not help on battery in fact could cause some FC, and not sure if some apps are "calling" the freezing services that make drain faster.
i make a "chart" using gingerblur with apps, fresh sbf test, sbf with apps and so on.
i was using live wallpapers and without LWP, i noticed an maybe "obvious" if you arent in home screen LWP will not drain your battery. maybe only when you wake and stay too much in homescreen, perhaps its not to much IMO yes you can save Battery using a normal wallpaper i can say 5% max.
in my test i use NO DATA, since data will drain a lot the battery and its kind "unestable" to check because bad signal data transfer and so on, i will research more later, in all my test i leave the screen doing nothing i didint execute any process and FULL BRIGHT, and i use Battery Monitor widget to chech 1% by 1%
Using GingerBlur 2.5 in .57 version and all my apps drops from 99% to 63% ( 36%) in 2 hours using LWP in homescreen (secret LWP from SGSII)
After a fresh sbf .83 no apps installed,NO LWP after 1 hr drop from 99% to 88%, after 1:30 from 99% to 81% then i start using the phone and after 2 hr drops to 76%
then i install all my apps,using LWP drop from 99% to 70% then 2 hours later and one phone call drop to 61%
i use this .83 with all my apps 13 min phone call and 2 hours playing a movie in through my tv and drops 30%
and last using a LWP but i was in settings screen for 2 hours and i drop from 99% to 75% again using FULL Bright in all cases
(in airplane mode i get for 9 hour just 6% decrement using setCpu screen off 425)
i will compare this with my 2200mah anida battery (when arrive ¬¬ )
so im wondering who else can try "compare" this results so we can check averages and see if we have a good battery and then a rogue app.
And last i found 1 app that make me drain pretty fast
Enhanced Email (it drops in airplane mode like 7 hours like 16%)
lighflow seems drain a little no to much
My battery drains like 1% per minute on voice calls. I don't know how Moto thinks it gets 300 mins of 3g talk.
I hard reset last night and I'm getting ~3% per hour drain, which is typical for me. Screen time kills this thing no matter what brightness level I have it set at.
Here's my setup:
Blur doing FB and Twitter sync
Gmail set to push
Corporate Sync email, calendar, contacts set to push (setting this to 15 min or 30 min makes no difference in my experiance)
Docs and Voice apps, but not auto-syncing
Astrid tasks syncing with Google
A bunch of other apps that don't sync and aren't running by default (I just installed them, haven't run them yet)
I did a factory reset because something was trashing my battery usage. I burned through a full charge in 6-7 hours yesterday and my phone was quite warm.

yea seems the atrix get pretty warm a lot, in my "heavy" usage playing or watching a video can get 40+ degrees.
i get 1% per hour with no data and like 4% with data.
i was reading heavy usage and get like 24 hrs and i say no way my battery sucks lol.
i usually get like 12-14 hour with medium usage all day data on (maybe 1 or 2 off) posting on fb some browsing msn and like 4 hours playing music
i have 10% bright its enought for me. at least the atrix let me last a little more than my nexus one battery isnt amazing FOR ME perhaps isnt bad at all with "heavy" usage i guess i will get like 9 hours or little less

I wasn't using it at all. I had just power-cycled it so nothing was running (games/movies/etc.).

Lol. I came from Milestone and I am finding Atrix cold .
My Milestone in hardcore use was easily reaching 50 celsius degrees .
My atrix while I am in hard use usually stays in 42 degrees too.
Guys i get a full day out of this phone without even trying etheir you guys are not flashing the phone properly or your phones are corrupted this phone has better battery life than my iphone 4 did
I get at least 2 days. Now that I am not playing with it constantly, I normally get 3 days (and 2 inactive nights) to about 20-30%.
Not rooted.
Do fairly regular email, fb, maps, /. , etc.
No movies
Virtually all data is via WiFi
BUT
It is not my primary computer. I program days and do most of my work on a real computer. Tonight in my chair with a glass of wine, I am using an Eee netbook -- a real keyboard is dramatically faster for me.
And I have developed the following important habit: I always put it to sleep with the slanted key at the top whenever I am done, so my screen time is fairly low. I think this helps a lot.
I expected battery life to be a problem before I bought it and that's why I like the back cover -- easy to change the battery. However, this has even better battery life than my last Blackberry and I thought that was excellent. I won't be buying another battery until I have a year or so on this one.
I believe the essence of all of these power conversations is that if you use it as your primary computer, you will use up the battery fast. If you use it primarily as a phone and as a portable secondary computer, the battery is excellent.

FYI
I'm currently running 1.5.7 & a couple of days ago i froze updater 2.2.1 because i was sick of getting reminders to update (using gladiatrix). Since then (although it only just clicked) my battery drain has been horrid (10% per hour in standby), after thawing updater 2.2.1, my battery drain has gone back to normal (1% every 2 hours in standby)
Mmmmm I will freeze as well to se improvements perhaps there is no updates atm and maybe will not get better

Recently flashed my HTC Panache (Canada) with RoyalGinger 3.0
Noticed that under Battery Use, Android System is dominating the other items:
Android System 43%
Cell standby 22%
Phone idle 17%
Voice calls 11%
Display 7%
When I click Android System it shows:
CPU total 3m 0s
CPU foreground 3m 0s
Keep awake 9h 42m 2s
Included packages:
VPN Services
Status Bar
Google Backup Transport
Account and Sync Settings
Theme Chooser
Android System
RoyalGinger settings
Settings Storage
Settings
I only rooted it 2 days ago, so don't know when this started. This morning though, I installed Go SMS Pro which seems to be the only significant change I made in the morning. On the battery graph display, there is a brief period of time when it shows the phone was not awake in the morning, and since then the entire thing is blue (phone awake for 9h+ straight)
Fairly moderate usage. Display shows 2h 39m. Nothing is set to sync except Google which should be pushed anyway
Right now, battery life is less than what I was expecting, having read some comments about RoyalGinger. Basically, I'm getting maybe 1.1x of stock Sense, when I was sort of expecting 2x. Hoping that solving this issue would get those battery results.
The past week or so I've noticed a very odd bug with Google services, or maybe I'm just misinterpreting it.
When I go into battery, Google services has been showing a very high percentage of battery usage with negligible CPU usage (total and foreground), and less than a few minutes stay awake time.
i. e. Right now I'm 21h on battery with 2 hrs screen on time which has used 20% battery. Next is Google services which apparently has used 15% battery with 39 seconds total CPU, 4 seconds CPU foreground, and 3 minutes stay awake time.
It's not a good sign that google services has used that much battery with so little CPU usage. Right underneath is "angry birds epic" usage at 51 minutes, and that only took up 11% battery...this doesn't really make any sense.
It's anyone else seeing this?
Bump... ???
6h 37mins 56s on battery
Android OS 41%
Android System 12%
Google Play services 10%
Screen 5% (24mins screen on time)
I am currently at 49% after taking my phone off charger at 100% 6hours ago. What is going on? As you can see screen on time is only 24minutes, yet i've lost more then half of my battery! I have email to sync every 4hours so I know that can't be it. What can be causing such a massive drain? I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, so Im completely lost as to why my battery is draining so rapidly.
I've attached 2 photos.
So I noticed my new 6T was having some heavy drain on standby so decided to install GSam.
I've clicked a screenshot of the GSam page below

Google play services is showing crazy amount of wakelocks. Anyone knows what's 'dozeservice'?
My battery stats show I've last charged my phone 17 hours before, OST 1 hour and 57 minutes as of now. Majority of the time phone was on WiFi and Bluetooth on (connected to my smart watch), adaptive battery disabled.

Any solution?
These types of reports are generally not that informative - you should take an adb bugreport and then parse it with the Google Battery Historian: https://github.com/google/battery-historian. The Wakelock you are seeing is most likely not the cause of the CPU drain, especially when the Doze service is up top (which puts the phone to sleep). The NlpWakelocks are most likely due to you having Google Location Reporting turned on. Turning it off would conserve some battery, although you will also lose that functionality. But definitely give that a try and see how it goes (you will need to setup a Docker instance to get it up though)...
