Google “android system battery drain" it comes up with a lot of things. Download BetterBatteryStats click on other than click on partial wakelocks. Its some of your wakelocks that's causing the android system to drain the battery. With BetterBatteryStats it tells you which of those wakelocks is causing it and you can disable them.

finding alot of "answers" but none of which I think are the problem. I've attached a couple screenshots to show what is causing the wakelocks, not real sure what they are tho. this battery drain only happens when I leave wifi off, if wifi is on everything is perfect.
How strong is your phone's signal? If it does a lot of searching it'll use a lot of battery. With Wi-Fi off your apps will still try to connect to the internet. Face book I'd your biggest wake lock. Do you really need that to be trying to sync?

my signal is almost always full bars with lte. I wouldn't think that one app would cause such a battery drain, even facebook. but no it's not that important, I can turn that off to see if it makes a difference. what about "AlarmManager" & "ActivityManager-Launch"?
edit: what I don't understand is this.. even with facebook on, whether it's syncing with wifi or my data connection it's wakelocking, so why such a huge difference when wifi is disabled and it's using my data connection instead?
I don't think facebook is the problem, I installed the other ge rom (clean&slim) and am having the same issue when wifi is disabled, and I haven't installed any apps except for es file explorer and nova launcher. I don't remember a problem with this on stock touchwiz. I have safestrap and goldeneye running on my girlfriends phone and the android system using battery when wifi is disabled isn't a problem.

If you're in an LTE border area your connection may be connecting in and out with LTE bands frequently causing the battery drain, as wifi is usually more stable. Generally the cause of battery drain is due to google services wakelocking the phone. Do you have Greenify downloaded? It's pretty nifty for hibernating apps, causing them to be completely shutdown until opened; preventing wakelocks. If you get the donate version you can even hibernate system apps (google services, etc). I doubt it's ROM related, but you can try another ROM and compare with BetterBatteryStats.

^ That will explain the AlarmManager & ActivityManager-Launch.

thanks for the info. I've tried both google edition roms but like I said.. this wasn't an issue on stock touchwiz and it's not an issue on my girlfriends phone running safestrap and goldeneye (we have the same phone). I do have greenify and I've added play music and maps to it as I noticed they would always run in the background. I also noticed in running apps under google services (with wifi disabled) something was running called locationmanager or similar to that. I had all location services turned off tho. I always have full lte service so I'm not sure why it would be going in and out.
Check your kernel wakelocks, your partial wakelocks seems not a big deal, actually on that screenshot IMO facebook is behaving very well.

I just unplugged my phone so I'm waiting for updated battery stats. I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with any apps that I've installed. I have greenified alot of apps, and turned off some receivers in google services framework (mostly gtalk stuff) I also did the stuff in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417. I'm going to wait awhile to see if there's any improvement, then I was going to try adding some build.prop entries that I used on my LG Optimus L9, a couple are for saving power when the phone is asleep and helping the phone sleep better, and there is an entry to limit how often your wifi will scan. they seemed to help on the lg.
I live in a poor service area and I like to control my WiFi and data on off with juice defender or creative connections I think its called. Helps me a lot. May not solve your prob but might make things easier on you. There is also an app called LTE toggle that makes a on/off widget for LTE. Hope it helps if you try it.

so is this an issue other people have using google edition roms and having wifi disabled? this doesn't happen with stock touchwiz or even stock touchwiz roms so I'm not understanding what the problem could be. I shouldn't have to use another app to stop battery drain just because I don't have wifi enabled

I can't think of anything you haven't already thought of that could cause those issues. I love greenify also but is it possible you greenified an app that is fighting it and trying to connect? I've done that but not es bad as you are seeing. Those apps were a thought to make your life a little easier by not working about WiFi on here and off there. They work good for me for that issue. You probably won't like this but I'm running foxhound 2.0 with faux and killjoy/ccross breeder script and I have a hard time hitting 50% battery after 15 hours off the charger. I have to really game or to a lot to go below that. I also debloat heavily. I havent tried your Roms yet but I had similar results on Alpha ROM. I'll think about it some more though.

I tried foxhound and I liked it but the black theme was just too black for me and I don't really like the touchwiz theme. I love the google edition roms. and no at first I flashed a clean ge rom and didn't install any apps at all and I still had the problem. I've also installed ge roms from the i9505 forum and also had the problem. with wifi on I get atleast 2 days on a full charge and about 4 hours of screen on time.
I would suggest do the following charge up to 100% not 90% like your second post. after 100% charge, do a reboot when the phone boots again remove the charger and let it sit untouched for at least 4 hours preferably 8 hours. Then on better battery stats take a screenshot of "Other/unplugged" lets see how much the phone is awake and deep sleep, then take a screenshot of Kernel Wakelocks/unplugged and also partial wakelocks/unplugged
at first I didn't notice that on you second screenshot your stats are for 8% period 90% - 82% and that is a 1%/hr battery drain, is actually pretty good, sure not excellent but there are some that loose 2%/hr
I'm having the same problem with the ge ROM. Battery life seems to go quicker than stock touchwiz. As I like the GE roms interface and things you can do with it just hate the battery life.

are you having the problem with wifi enabled and disabled? I only have the problem when my wifi is turned off, with wifi on I get great battery life with this rom
here's what I added to my build.prop last night and it seems to have fixed the 'android system' battery drain. it's back down to 2% now with wifi off and lte enabled.

I'm using Razr M but the battery drain so fast even though I use it just casually.. Indicated that "wakelock" contribute up to 15 percent and Android System also a lot. The screenshot is above as you can see my phone was just 19 minute on screen. >"<.. No idea why.. I was really concern about bloatware comes with the device keep running background and drain the battery. Because the Phone Idle take most battery as well
The Three thing in Wakelock are
Orientation Notifier
ModemStatService
Modem Fastdormancy Mornitor Service.
Screenshot included.
Does anyone knows what are those belong to and how to stop it?
Thanks

Much more info is needed, to test if your phone has a problem remove all installed apps, charge to 100% and then check your batt stats. More likely than not something you installed is causing this.

Something is definitely wrong there. Wake lock should not even be showing up unless you are using some app to purposefully keep the phone awake or something. You must have a rogue app.

Yeah, I'm really suspicious about maybe some rogue apps run behind but no way to find out. maybe it's Viber or Whatsapp since it's always require internet connection to receive message. ... I would love to find a way to remove the bloat-software :crying: .. they ate half memory of the 8Gb Razr M, only 4.1 Gb Usable

does betterbatterystats work on this phone? I use this on my S3 to find out what's keeping phone from deepsleep. Then you can find out which apps are keeping it up.
It's not whatsapp - I use that as well and I get 1-2 full days on a charge.
You've got a lot of apps running in your notification tray (top left) - I'd pull them all out... or better yet, FDR and don't opt to restore your Google config then start over.
Unless you want to list every app you have installed those are my recommendations.
Non Verizon SIM?

I have the very same issues, but only on GSM as soon as I am on Wifi battery life is excellent. I am using a German SIM card (in Germany) which works well (except of mobile hot spot). So I am suspecting some internal service looking for a Verizon service, which it obviously cannot find. Any thoughts?

Go into your dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* then hit the "phone information button" then scroll down to something that says "network types"or something along those lines and choose the "wdcma preferred" option. That might stop it from looking for vzw networks.

Thanks for the hint. But that does not solve the problem. I have installed juicedefender, which in its default setting seems to solve the problem. The battery life with juicedefender seems eternal . However, the phone is less "reactive" to email pushes etc.
I am getting the pro version of juicedefender, perhaps I can get down to the root.

My gf is having the same problem with her M. GSam said GMaps was wakelocked-looped...woke the thing 1,271 times in the 8 hours she had it unplugged. Auto-location reporting was turned on (wtf), switched it off but it kept dropping. ~10 hours off the cord with maybe 30 minutes use and it was at 6%. We'll see what happens tomorrow, but any ideas are much appreciated. I know more info is needed but it's kind of hard to pry into unrooted phones...we'll see.
I had the same problem two days ago. Two words for you... FAST DORMANCY (google it). Thats the culprit and is very telling with the first picture showing the phone is awake constantly when wifi is off and mobile data is on... you can test it yourself, compare battery drop rate with mobile data on and with wifi on.
Solution
1. Root phone, unfortunately you have to.
2. Download titanium backup
3. Freeze modemstatservice
4. Freeze fastdormancy.
Let me know if this helps you.
Thanks.. i just did freezing those 2 service.. lets see what will happen then...

Can you explain why titanium backup is needed?
I stopped the modemstatservice and fastdormancy services. Hope that works. I actually did a factory reset and thought for a short moment that it has improved, but that's not the case. I can stay a whole day with quiet a lot of browsing on Wifi and us up 20%. On 3G I drain 25% in 4h
So I bought titanium backup, freezed modemstatservice and fastdormancy.
No change in battery drain. I would like to know if all the other who have the same problem are running on a verizon SIM.
Until now nothing has worked. Under normal usage, I get a flat battery in about 16h. Normal means 2calls (<3min) and perhaps 5min of browsing.
I am having the same issue - coming from a Thunderbolt I am still happy with the battery as it is but if the wake lock could be resolved the battery would be awesome...
Not sure what is causing the gtalk spike as I removed that app...
ETA: running Jelly Bean leak & rooted... I also reflashed the leak wiping data, etc... with no change

Sorry to hear that this fix didnt work for you. Could you provide more info regarding your network and if possible some screenshot of betterbatterystats or something similar. Maybe *#*#4360#*#* > battery information might give me more information with regards to your problem.
Also, if you want to do really help eliminate more variables, try using ur phone on 3G without installing any apps.
I'll try to help you the best i could. :cyclops:

Maybe uninstalling gtalk and leaving an apk is causing the spike since it is trying to sync. Why not leave it on, also try reducing email refresh time to 1hr as oppose to the default (15 mins). Your battery life seems reasonable.
Wake Lock Questions:
Anyone know what the bam.dmux.wakekock is for? It says it's for a power management system but I don't know what that's supposed to do.
Also the Ssmdcnt10 wake lock?
Those are the two that are running on my phone and both are running like 36 minutes since I unplugged my phone this morning. Is this bad or is it something that I could allow to continue happening? Thx!

I froze mine and so far it has improved and I'm running the jellybean leak with root; HOWEVER my battery still drains fast and when I was on ICS my battery life was amazing so I'm actually probably going to revert back to that tomorrow. I fed the jellybean leak since it came out early last week and tried everything that I know to increase battery life but nothing works.

Could people who have managed more than 10 hours or 15 hours on their galaxy s3 post screen shots of their battery stats and include information of what special settings they used, what kernels and Rom they used and what battery you used and what they used their phones for like apps and games so people like me who only manage to get 6 hours out of their s3's can hopefully get more out of their phones.
(You don't have to say exactly what games or apps just that you used some)

Defiantly get more than that between recharges.
Stock deodexed Wannam ROM, with the below configuration basically.
I removed most Samsung stuff,
no S-voice (Google Now is enough), Kies (including kiesexe), tracking services, remote controls etc.
Look for the list of unneeded services found here somewhere and freeze what you don't use.
Your going to have to do that with most ROM's, even light editions don't remove everything.
Other tips, freeze Facebook when not used or use 'Fast for Facebook' instead.Too many others tips to mention they can all be found here but.
I leave Wi-Fi, GPS and Google services on here. Plus pesky Facebook (for the calendar sync). But am happy with battery so far...
Battery is now 68%, Screen time 56%
7.45hrs on battery.. No calls, just Tune in radio, YouTube, XDA, Firefox etc over WiFi. GPS turns on hourly for weather, along with syncing for 4 email accounts, Facebook, Twitter and G+.
Facebook, Twitter are system syncs NOT application syncs. I use Android Pro Widgets to display what the system syncs and only open those two apps when needed..

Thanks, I've tried only one Rom which was omega but that really didn't help my battery and tried the phenomenal extreme and shiyah kernels (found the explanation of dual booting a bit confusing)
Don't like the whole thing about wiping my memory for Rom installation as I've done a nandroid backup which backs up the state so if I install a Rom have to add everything back (not tried titanium backup yet though, might be the answer)
I don't have a facebook app as usually use chrome to visit it and don't really use s voice and haven't really used Google now as my battery seems to just drain by pressing buttons and if I play a game for even a short time my battery seems to drain 20%
Don't have GPS or syncs or any location settings on as thought that would drain battery and tried battery saving apps but they never gave my battery a better life.
I'll try removing some bloatware though as that might help a lot

(again, I'm not sure if these are what they should be - I've rooted my phone and put various (stock) ROMs on it and as far as I know I'm using the official UK BTU ROM because that's the latest one I attempted to install - although I've played around with the firmwares on all three of the Galaxy S devices I've had (S, SII and SIII) I'm still not very aware of all the functions of the various bits and pieces in ROMs and how they all go together!)
I practically always have Wi-Fi on, and I'm constantly checking facebook, emails, the odd web page, other social apps etc.
Phone usually goes through the full day without needing to be recharged and I tend to stick it on to recharge when I go to bed.
I am on stock and use green power premium. I get 1d16h with 100min call time, listening to FM radio tuner, occasional flip board and Gmail. I do not use Facebook but have outlook configured. I am sure I will get more battery life as I had rebooted my device and un/installed a few apps while trying out and spent a lot of time trying to setup Tasker which I will not be doing on a regular day.

(again, I'm not sure if these are what they should be - I've rooted my phone and put various (stock) ROMs on it and as far as I know I'm using the official UK BTU ROM because that's the latest one I attempted to install - although I've played around with the firmwares on all three of the Galaxy S devices I've had (S, SII and SIII) I'm still not very aware of all the functions of the various bits and pieces in ROMs and how they all go together!)
I practically always have Wi-Fi on, and I'm constantly checking facebook, emails, the odd web page, other social apps etc.
Phone usually goes through the full day without needing to be recharged and I tend to stick it on to recharge when I go to bed.

Two good apps that could help to reduce battery usage are Tasker and Juice Defender. They can schedule turn on time for wifi/data for syncing, rather than having them on when phone is idle

I've got juice defender but yet to master it as it seems to be doing all sorts.
I put it on aggressive and it changes settings for WiFi itself and other things that I don't want it to do and now it's put itself back to balanced and it really hasn't done anything for my battery other than annoying me and playing games.
Think I'll uninstall it cause it ain't really helping me

I just read that after installing a new Rom or buying new battery the best thing to do is re callibrate your battery from 100 to 0% maybe for this after factory resetting phone not sure about installing Roms though but I rememner after installing a rom the battery seemed worse.
I also remember having better battery the first having my phone after callibrating it so trying that might be a good option.
Anyway that's my input.

Hi,
How do you calibrate the battery? Thank you.

You can wipe it from recovery (Delete battery stats option), you can install an app to that for you or you can delete the batterystats.bin file located in /data/system/ folder. You need root for all three methods and it is recommended to do it on a fully charged battery.
Calibrating battery means that you delete the batterystats.bin log file so you get fresh stats in the battery log in setting (im not sure if the option in recovery does anything more) so if you are not experiencing weird battery behavior (like phone shutting down at 30% or not fully charging) than this might hele other than that I don't think there is any benefit. But it is up to you if you want to try and see for yourself.

Also by letting your battery die from 100%, only have to do this first time though as you can then just charge your battery when you want an extra boost before you're going out.
I've found that after installing a new Rom or factory reset and just charging my phone from half way or at 30% my battery drains quickly from 100%

Hey guys,
could you just let me know if this looks normal, and if not, any suggestions?
Its the Android OS battery consumption that i don't like.
BBS doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. I have searched and read alot of tips and tricks, but nothing has helped so far.

I did read somewhere it maybe has to do with roaming or WiFi.
Not sure what phone you have or what Rom or mod you're using as you have 4.1.2 jellybean which I'm guessing has only been released to nexus.
Sorry can't be more help other than check your applications and see what processes are running and what is keeping your phone awake.
It can even be a widget or launcher, maybe someone else can be more helpful.

Yeah, I also read that it could be wifi, have tested without wifi now for a couple of hours, not much difference. But i will give it a few more charge cycles to see if it gets better.

I would go back to stock Rom and kernel if I was you to see if there's a difference, there are many reporting this with cm roms and open source roms or it could be the launcher you are using.

Hey,
I'm running stock nexus 4. I have been having terrible 8 hour battery life with "Android OS" taking up all the battery in battery status. BetterBatteryStats tells me that "sns_perioidic_wakelock" and "sns_async_ev_wakelock" is using up most of the battery. See attached. Any idea what apps are causing this?

I'm pretty sure I've seen those wakelocks when making a lot of phone calls. Seems likely related to cell radio use some how, but that's just a guess.

Actually the crazy thing is that i have airplane mode with wifi on most of the day cause I have really bad service. And I only have 100 minutes of talk, so I never talk on the phone.

Just checked mine and those wakelocks are really low today despite several phone calls, I've been on wifi all day though. The right way to figure those wakelocks out is to download the kernel source from one of the devs github and do some searches through the source to see where those wakelocks are logged. You might also search the battery impression thread in general, some smart folks have dissected many kernel wakelocks in there. Seems weird that you would have them in airplane mode.

I have the exact same issue. Wakelocks/Android OS killing my battery (Android OS usually 45% or higher when it should be my screen that is the biggest battery sucker).
I barely use my phone to make phone calls as well. I'd say 1 call every 2 or 3 days.
Same exact wakelocks here. I made 0 phone calls. There is defiantly something up.
I had these two wakelocks too and it turned out to be my live wallpaper that was causing it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35277041&postcount=20
Same wakelocks on my N4....
Solution in my case, delete widget locker....... My Nexy sleeps again:angel:
exact same situation: N4, sns wakelocks killing battery, phone not deep sleeping. culprit? Shake 'n Rotate! app. so add that one to the blacklist as well!
Are any of you running stock kernel and ROM?

Im Running stock kernal and Rom and i still get sns_periodic_wakelock and sns_async_ev_wakelock Does anyone have any idea what they are or what causes them or how to fix? They seem to be on the whole time my phone is on and they suck battery crazy not as bad as most but my android os is always 2nd battery use to my screen or more depending on how i use it and it sucks cause i know i would have pretty awesome battery life if these were fixed or gone. I appreciate any help!
Apparently you can also add: lightflow vibrate on pickup feature and adding a widget to the lock screen..
PowerManagerService and sns periodic wakelock are my main culprits but I'm not sure these numbers mean there's an issue or not...
I just checked BBS for todays use and I have on 9h use 4h on sns_periodic_wakelock. I have been using DashClock on my lockscreen. I will remove that and post back later to see if that helped.:cyclops:
Hmm can anyone say if this looks problematic?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it does look problematic.
Basically sns_periodic_wakelock kept the device from sleeping for almost three hours.
I have the same issue and don't know what's causing it.
EDIT: Apparently live wallpapers do.
Just writing back to tell you guys how it went. I removed DashClock from my lockscreen and that wakelock seemed to be gone for a few days.
I then later updated the app, and just by updating it, I think it caused the wakelock. This time I'm uninstalling and checking if it comes back again.
Is there a known list of apps suspected of causing this?

I've had dashclock for the past two days.. Not seeing any wake locks. I have all the extensions from the app enabled.
Sns is related to facebook. If you use Titanium backup, go to apps and you can see a blue icon with a letter f on it that looks like facebook letter and labelled sns. Uninstall that and your lovely nexus 4 will enjoy its sleeeeep....
My phone keeps switching between H and H+ and I'm assuming this is attributing to my bad battery life. I'm tried the phone APN and the wap.cingular APN but both do the same thing. Should I just enable the Use only 2G networks option? Will that lock me into H only?
No. H+ and H aren't causing poor battery life. It's something else.

No it will put you on edge. 2g speeds. If you want to keep this phone on 3g, expect terrible battery life, period. A lot of people have hope that the next update will fix the insane battery drain on 3g. I highly doubt it.

There's no battery drain on 3G. The problem is somewhere else, mainly in maps, wakelocks and/or kernel.
alternatively route is to flash a custom kernel such as franco
Yeah I've got franco, and just flashed MiNCO ROM (I was using CM but battery life was still horrible).
What APN are you guys using? I'm using the phone APN. I just upgraded to franco r20 so I'm hoping this will show an improvement
apn varies on your carrier. its not the same for all
the phone sits on H and goes H+ when you are downloading stuff.
download betterbatterystats and make sure you don't have any apps preventing your phone from deep sleeping http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
CM battery life isn't bad... its more of your current setup in terms of apps and kernel. ROM rarely has an impact on battery life in my opinion. its all about wakelocks, sync intervals.
make sure google maps latitude is OFF and that your phone isn't automatic reporting your location.
I've got the Access to my location setting under Location access On but al of the location settings under Maps are off.
I downloaded betterbatterystats yesterday. I noticed that my twitter and facebook app were causing some wakelocks so I got those syncs disabled. I'm hoping I'll squeeze some more life out of this now. I assume Google will probably be releasing a patch in the near future so I'll just hold tight for now (and a charger close)

Google releasing patches doesn't matter. It's your phone set up. I push 4+ hours easily. Disable whatever cards that you don't need in Google Now as well.

You're experiencing wakelocks. Might wanna do some research on the forum so that you can post logs for people to analyze what's really eating your battery.

THIS. I was having problems with wakelocks and traced them back to these few things below which got my battery life to greatly increase once disabled.
1) using dashclock extensions like FB and gmail
2) leaving google sync on in settings for the various google services
3) corporate email exchange servers
4) setting a long time variable for the phone to lock after the screen turns off (i did this to prevent putting in a pin to unlock but it kept the phone awake after the screen turned off)
5) live wall papers
There is also a known issue in the stock kernel that causes the phone to stay awake when it is supposed to go into sleep mode during extended periods of inactivity. This can be solved by using a custom kernel just as Franco r90 which has implemented patches in order to allow the phone to go into sleep to preserve battery. It is expected to be fixed in the next official OTA from google although this was also expected to be in 4.2.2 and was not fixed fully.
Same issue here. 4.2.2 stock kernel+rom, rooted
BBS shows "suspend_backoff" is at 45% no idea what's causing that.
Disabled pretty much all of the sync services but no improvement.
Interestingly right after the 4.2.2 update, the battery life was good.

Google play services has something to do with the high usage. Yesterday I was near 20% usage today I disabled it and android os is at 7%. It only affects YouTube app for me, but the browser version is fine. I haven't seen any adverse affects other than maybe losing updates to the play store and ota updates which I don't care about because that's what xda and Roms are for. Now it may be placebo, but it also seems like the ui is smoother. Battery has improved greatly with sot of 3 hours with 57% left.
Hi,
how do you disable Google play services?
Try using the app greenify if your rooted.. It's been helping my battery life. Use it on maps and that will help. If maps is set as a system app, move it or just install banks minimal gapps so you can download from play store.
