Wondering if any of you SGS II guys do it after flashing roms?..Yes? No? Sometimes? Ive never done it yet, since I've only flashed like twice, wondering if i should eventually though.

After flashing a new rom, charge it to 100% and then wipe battery stats.

Hmm what if I'm flashing total stock, no cwm/cf root or anything?
Without root you can't use the battery calibration app as well, so you can't wipe
May be the battery will calibrate itself after a couple of charge\discharge cycles.

i wipe stats after a rom flash i am sure the devs and community didnt make it up for no reason
Not much point unless your battery stats file is full of inaccurate information. No worry since you can't do it on a non-rooted phone anyway. Give enough charge cycles, the information in the battery stats file eventually works out to be something reasonable even if it started out with inaccurate stats.
how to wipe that battery stats...plz some info
U generally don't have to wipe the battery stats....n never let ur phone full dischared, charge ur phone whenever u get the time.
Fully charge and discharge it once in like 2-3 months to recaliberate it.

Nope, I dont see the point in wiping the battery history, contrary to the popular belief that battery stats is the current running calibration data
its there for a reason.. you think the devs are dumb?
flashing it makes it much more accurate.
I always wipe the battery stats after flashing a new custom rom.
I think this is especially important if you don't flash at 100% battery.
Have been asking about this problem for days and no one has answered me yet. For the past few days Android System has been using the majority of my battery. Always around 30% or more. I attached screens so you can see the processes running underneath "Android System"

You probably didn't receive an answer because there are COUNTLESS threads on how to find out for yourself what is causing your drain and how to fix it. People need to stop expecting to be spoon fed solutions. You're on a developers forum where there are guaranteed to be bugs and issues, If you can't deal with that, don't hang out here.
Someone had to be the asshole haha
The only solution I can think of, is to periodically close the apps you're using the least, Again though if this doesn't work then of course do the good old factory reset and try again. Anything past that and it's hardware issues.
Download something like Better Battery Stats and see if one of your apps is causing wakelocks. If you don't see any wakelocks, I'd say the next step is to check your CPU settings. Different CPU governors keep the phone awake longer than others before dropping back to deep sleep which could cause higher system drain. Beyond that, if you're rooted reflash whatever you're running, if not try a factory reset.

I clear my recent apps almost every time i am done doing something on my phone. So I dont think that does anything for me.

There arent that many wakelocks. But when there are its normally from Google Search. Is there a way to stop that? And I am using the Google Experience Launcher. Does that effect anything?

I am stock rooted with the Google Experience Launcher.
Also, If I were to factory reset(Which I hope I dont have to), would it be safe to do so even though I am rooted with TWRP installed? Like will there be a risk bricking/bootlooping my phone if I factory reset while rooted with TWRP? Should i factory reset using TWRP or in the settings menu on my phone?
I had the same issue over the past few days, and as simple as it seems, rebooting fixed the problem for me.

Yes, you can even do the factory reset from within TWRP; just select the standard wipe option. I did it yesterday in prep for installing a new ROM. It does take awhile, but I had no problems and my internal "SD" memory wasn't touched.

So if I factory reset through TWRP will I lose root or TWRP itself?

Nope. It just takes you back to the starting blocks of whatever ROM you have loaded. For instance, if you're on stock it takes you back to Day 1 of owning the phone, but doesn't erase anything on the "Internal SD". If you've loaded another ROM, say Malladus or something, it will just take you back to the base of that ROM, with no mods or personal settings.
This is happening to a lot of different people on a lot of different devices. FYI.

I don't know what GEL is.
I may have your answer. Use BetterBatteryStats. Check processes and wakelocks, pretty much everything. Battery Manager was telling me the same thing, but a random game was keeping it awake.

I will look and post screens. Although its not being waked by anything according to Wake Lock Detector.

I was wondering what people thought of these battery stats. I consider these average for my normal day. I've gotten much better and much worse. Just looking for comparisons. And wondering if anyone had any advice that relates specifically to this phone. Ive done almost everything out there. At least as much as you can do running stock. I have frozen many apps. Disabled almost all non essestial settings. Display is less than 25%. Use app ops. Wake lock detector. Better battery stats. Turned off location on almost everything. The only thing I think hurts me is I have auto sync on many apps, mostly for social media. Mainly I want to know if people who have gone through the ringer trying to squeeze very bit of battery life out of their phones are experiencing similar battery life. I see so many people claiming crazy stats I want to know how they do it.

This is an average day for me of heavy internet browsing and just using my phone really. I am running stock mk2, although i have removed many apps. But i had 15% battery left after that days use.

@ OP.
Those battery stats are average for a normal every day user on stock. Custom ROMS and Kernels if you want super battery tweaking.
So off topic bc I'm a super noob.. I was wondering if you root your phone do you lose the ability to get carrier software updates?

OP, your Android OS is waaaaaaay too high. (try settings/connections/location services/ uncheck "use wireless networks) for a major difference.
He didnt start the post. I did. He was responding to my original question. Thanks.

You can use wanam exposed to fake the system status as official instead of custom. But i prefer to use odin instead.

This is my first charge cycle but why is Android System higher than my screen, is this normal? Could it be because of the fingerprint scanner? Any help would be appreciated!

Nope! So damn, I factory reset after I rooted, maybe I need to do another one :/
I noticed that my phone would heat up and the battery would drain quickly... then I found this gem.
Activate developer mode... then go into it and all the way at the bottom you can limit background running apps. So far I haven't had a problem

Hi, I guess my battery life's improved significantly after the Lollipop update. I think you might need to reinstall Lollipop.
Mine is draining a lot faster too.
Did a full wipe.

Me too, no problems, perhaps even a little bit better battery life than on Kitkat.
Same here no problem. Flash stock again and then restore the backup.
No probs here also!
Try going to Recovery (TWRP/CWM) and do a Full Data Wipe and Clear Caches and Wipe Dalvik Caches also.

Even i was facing problem with battery, battery was not lasting even for 5 hours. Which started after i upgraded my moto G to lollipop. Fortunately there was no issue with lollipop updated and issue was caused due location service which uses GPS radio (which uses more battery power), turned off the location (slide from top of screen and turn off location) and issue resolved.
try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxrcUs3-wGg
good
great advice, battery is quite stable after a full wipe cache partitions, previously, wifi and awake were always on and consuming battery fast. now every thing is ok.
my battery can hold a screen on time just under 5 hours. ( With between light and heavy usage ) I use apps like whatsapp, facebook, 9gag and the local news app a lot. Maybe your battery is not calibrated good? But what i did notice is that from 100%-50% it drains much faster then from 50%-0% battery. wich is kinda strange.
my battery faster discharge between 100% to 90% .. .. O_O" !
Try to set the CPU Min clock Range to 300mhz. Should work

hi can u plz give me some info about ur lollypop plz
Mostly caused by apps waking the phone for background data.
You can restrict all background mobile data by going to:-
Settings, Data usage and slide the mobile data switch (top right) to off.
Tap the menu dots and tap show wifi, or tap the WiFi tab.
You will then have a long list of all your installed apps on which you can turn mobile background data on and off as you require.
