My N7 LTE have these 2 wakelocks (based on BBS) that kept draining my battery:
- suspend_backoff
- qxcom_rx_wakelock
These caused the "Android OS" USAGE to go about 38% of the battery life.
I used Greenify and AutoStarts to disable the same applications in the N7 as my S4 (Amazon AppStore), so it seems to be something specific to the N7 LTE.
There no way you can get battery life as posted by the WiFi only users in here:

Wowzers - battery life!
Stop the presses! LTE uses more battery than wifi! The world must know!!
Also, I don't have these wakelocks on my LTE version.

So your N7 last only 12 hours?
If no, then help those who have battery life. Otherwise, we don't need your sarcasm.
This is my first LTE Android tablet. My other one is an iPad with cellular and I have great battery life.
LTE and the "great battery life" are incompatible.

Isn't the above is what I am trying to point out in the thread title?
I think most people know battery life is bad, but I just want to point out that it is REALLY BAD.
12 HOURS with just 2 hours screen time.
If I am wrong and you all get better battery life than the above, please enlighten me, especially the issues I had above.
By the way, my S4 Active, a PHONE, have far better battery life than the N7 LTE.
Yes LTE uses more battery than WiFi only, only logical since it's powering extra hardware.
Mine seems to last quite a bit longer than that. Sorry I can't check for wake locks since BBS is not yet working under KitKat.
With just built-in battery state, I'm currently almost 14hrs since charged, got around 1hr screen time and still got 78% battery left.

I think the LTE version does consume a bit more battery.
Here I use the EDGE network. When in standby status, the battery power drops usually 1 percent / 2 hours. Something like that. It was for 4.3.1, not the 4.4.
I've heard 4.4 is far more power efficient.
Mine usually last 36 hours on a charge. Currently it has been up one day and four hours with five hours screen time. Playing videos and playing poker used most battery. I am sure many people have similar stats.

Something is not right on yours, Android OS battery usage is at 12% consistently on mine.

Same here. Unreasonably terrible battery life for LTE. I expected a little more. Upgraded to 4.4 also.
Are we all talking about the same device? The 2013 Nexus 7 LTE? I get EXCELLENT battery life from mine. I've never had an Android device last this long. I could go up to 3 days without having to recharge. I usually put it on the charger every two days. See my snapshot:
I bought the LTE version because I wanted LTE connectivity.
Thanks to everyone who shared their battery life. So something is causing these wakelocks and shown as "Android OS".
Interestingly, I do NOT use many apps that use background processing, such as Facebook, Instagram, weather or even Google Now.
Quick question: do you guys use ANY anti-virus/malware application? I use Avast but because I want the FIREWALL capability to block app or games from making Internet connection, since that will eat up my data. These apps/games usually connect to download ads and they're built-in, which Ad-Away CANNOT block (per the author).
Other background apps I use are "normal" apps --> calendar, 3 Gmail accounts, Google Contact Syncs, Google Talk. I use Greenify too.
If you guys do NOT use anti-virus/malware application, let me know. I will try uninstall Avast and monitor my battery life tonight to see if the same wakelocks appears again.
BTW, those who use BBS, do you see excessive usage of these wakelocks:
- suspend_backoff
- qxcom_rx_wakelock

Oh? Looks like you have the same issue as mine: High usage of "Android OS". If you're NOT on 4.4, I'd have ask if you can use BBS to check what caused this.

I'm not a fan of social media, so I don't have Facebook, Google+, Instagram either. I do not use any anti-virus applications. That may be one of your battery drainers. My Nexus is bone stock and still on 4.3. I don't know whats BBS or a wakelock, so I can't help you with that. I just use my nexus for browsing web pages using Dolphin and it's Jet Pack to block ads while surfing. I also use the WSJ (Wall Street Journal) apps as well as apps from my stock brokers (Interactive Brokers and Tradestation) to keep track of the markets. I do use Google music to stream music in the car using bluetooth.

BBS is Better Battery Stats. It was created by one of XDA member and available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809. The app allows you to drill down and see a particular process causing the battery drain.
I have uninstalled Avast and will monitor the battery tonight. Will leave it ON, unplugged, CONNECTED to WIFI and not used. Let's see what will happen.
PS: Any good firewall app I can use to stop free apps from downloading ads? For example, I played Tiny Death Star and that app uses about 10 Mb of data in 1 day...and I only played it 3 times!
I had the 2012 Wi-Fi/3G model and it too had terrible battery life. I don't mean while it was using the cellular radio only, but on Wi-Fi only the battery life sucked. I pulled the SIM card out and turned off the Wi-Fi too, didn't help at all. I know the 2013 N7 does have a smaller battery compared to the 2012, but I feel the 2013 Wi-Fi only version gets better battery life than the 2012 Wi-Fi only version did. Yes, I had 2 N7s last year.

Hi guys, I have N7 Mk2 LTE version.
If I don't play games, it keep 2+ days without charging. So stop writing all the bull...t above.
Before you write some nonsenses about battery drain, try to uninstall Facebook app...
Try switching to Samsung Note 8 and you'll thank that N7 LTe has more battery life. Been there and never look back since I switched to N7. Awesome battery life, last to 2 days and perhaps 14-16 on normal use with a bit of short gaming.

Apps like facebook, twitter, email and such automatically sync their data. This eats battery at a staggering speed.
You can change the setting to manual sync in the apps, or turn off all auto-sync by dragging down thw notification bar, opening all toggles (the right top button) and turning 'sync' off (green is on)

Try using "screen dimmer" as well. I use that app and in the mornings and evenings have it set to turn on. It helps a lot, I have almost. 7 hours of screen time right now with 15% battery left and not on battery saving mode. "Apps ops" allows you to change permissions on certain apps, so you can stop locations that way (just don't do that for android system and settings it causes issues) And try "wake lock detector" to determine if your battery is being drained by a certain app. Hope this helps. I'm not rooted and get pretty decent battery life, avg 22 hours, but as much as 40 depending on usage

So I see some people on here getting 9+ hours of screen on time on here. That is AMAZING. I know basically everything has to do the user. But I have attached some screenshots with about 30% battery left. I was wondering if anybody could help me out. Or any out of the ordinary tips.
it looks like you're using your phone a lot, and should get over 4 hours of screen on time. Perhaps you can reduce your screen brightness or something, turn off GPS, location reporting etc.
BTW, theres no way anyone would get 9 hours screen on time on a note 3, with reasonable screen brightness. I average 5 hours, less if I'm using more system taxing apps.
I assume if your on xda your rooted. My saving grace is under clocking. I use my tablet for gaming but I have about an two hours of screen on time, four hours of talk time and about an hour of maps and I'm currently sitting at 73%. Also if you don't want to run a custom rom freeze everything you'll never use and greenify everything keeping your phone awake. With light usage I can get 4 days on a charge. As soon as I get money in going to get the 10 mha battery. There is a review on xda where the guy could get 2 days of screen on time and like a day and a half of gps/map usage.

I would start with quick things to check....disable GPS/location settings, disable Sync altogether(via status bar toggle) if you don't mind not getting your Twitter updates(see it's using 3% of battery in your screenshot), disable NFC if it's on, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not connected
Also check out your RED mobile data signal in your screenshot and see if you can fix that, "signal hunting" when your phone doesn't have a good data signal really hurts battery life greatly
Next I would install an app like Wakelock Detector, open it, and change the view to "Wakeup Triggers" and after your phone has lots of time with the screen off, come back to it and see what's causing your phone to "wake up" when it's trying to "sleep" when screen=off

What do you suggest I under clock to? And what app to do so? Also what about I/o schedulers and governor. And by under clocking you mean lowering the max could rate right? Or the min too.

Wow Kik caused 4523 triggers in just 4 hours lmao, and switch that view to "wakeup triggers" is how i gauge it better, but with the view that you're on there...you can tap the name of the app for more info on what it's doing exactly like "Alarmmanager" or w/e the app is doing
Edit: also ditch Google Music if you play music from SDcard/locally like me....i use Beat instead, free app
I use rom toolbox pro and I under clock to 1036 mhz with cfq scheduler and interactive governor. Rom toolbox pro is great at about everything you need to do and greenify pro with xposed features help a lot

+1 for beats. I used MOG for a long while before beats bought them out. Combine that with folder mount and I can store all my music to my sd card. To bad I couldn't transfer my music from mog to beats and have not had time to re download but I had about 50 gig of music before the switch over.

when I used xposed one of the items must have caused it as after I took them off the battery works fine (two days if I am carefully) charging once at night gives full day (plus) on battery.

This system tuner app you used it not any overclocking or something that might drain you battery?
What screen brightness do you use most of the time?
Can you see what use most of your battery? There is charts you can access in settings -> battery
I run with BLAZE kernel and Alliance ROM. (install without any samsung or google bloat if you can)
And I have been using my phone constantly, playing streemed music, installing apps, downloading from internet, browsing internet, having screen active a lot...
And Now I'm at 87% and have been running 1 hour and 38 minutes on battery. (Was at about 100% battery before)
I run +5 screen brightness and don't have any special powersaving features running that limit my experience with the phone.
You could try that kernel and ROM too, I feel they improved my battery time a lot.
I also shut down some samsung and google bloat stuff like air browse, s voice and such crap, saving a little little battery.
Here is my battery info and my brightness level. I have Canadian g900w from Rogers so I am not sure what roms or kernels you can use ?

It's a smartphone, if you're supposed to turn all the features off then you should have bought a dumb feature phone.
Looks like ur using max brightness? Nearly 2 hours screen on time for 44% isnt the best but isnt terrible. I get around 5 to 6 hours using low brightness 3g/4g on besides when screen on. Using android tuner and greenify for tuneing. Screen uses a lot of battery to. Im using. Ktoons kernal now with oc and the batterys probably the same to to me. No beter or worse but.

You're set for almost four hours of screen on time there, on what seems to be very poor mobile signal. Doesn't sound that unrealistic to me to be honest.
Poor mobile signal absolutely kills battery life, as your phone spends the entire time searching and trying to get a better signal.

I think his point is that most people get 5-6 hours screen time with everything on and without following the "stupid extreme battery guides".

I see a couple of things interesting with your setup, Speaking from personal experience, I too have had battery issues drive me up a wall. I'd get just about a day on a battery when everyone else gets about 3-9 days more. My friend has an s5 all stock and he gets 9 days on a freaking battery. WTF
I rooted my first s5, with ANCH baseband and still couldn't solve all the issues with it. So I sent it back to t-mo and they sent me another one, getting batteries on ebay has also ended up a wash. 2 batteries I've received go down 20% from a full charge in the first hour and shut completely down at 32 percent at least I got a refund on that. (So be careful about ebay batteries, even though they say samsung.
So looking at yours here's what I see, Your system is staying awake, lets look at wake locks. Kik is really tearing up your machines wakelock (900wake locks) as well as the camera CPU time, i'd imagine you were recording a video at some point.
1. Go get greenify and greenify those Kik, Instagram and camera apps if thats usage while the screen is off. (No notifications on those apps, i'm afraid when you do that.)
2. Go get system tuner, make sure your rooted by towelroot (If you so choose to keep from tripping knox) and go into app mgr and find android system and go through activities, receivers and services and make sure everything you see that says IQAgent gets unchecked. This will help you stay out of ServiceIQ's eyes and also help your battery as your entire phone is debugged through those apps. (Help is on the forums somewhere)
3. Turn off google now, hotword detection and location history or you'll start noticing Google services draining your battery
4. Go get deep sleep battery saver and remove that battery saver, I personally never liked it it only suggests things to do rather than do them for you. At night or whenever you need to save your battery turn on slumber and it will only take like a percent to 5% in the morning
5. You probably have a bad battery, especially if its down to that low. Time to exchange or return
I'm incredibly disappointed, i've had to do all these things to really figure things out, heck i'd be on firefox for about 15 minutes and go down 18% (Happened this morning)
Android really has some issues with kitkat, and even though we try and fix these problems with modifications there comes a point where one just gives up and tries to deal with it.
I don't understand why my phone gets 1.2 days and my co-workers Verizon s5 gets 9 days with normal usage. Everyone seems to have crazy all over the scale battery life results. Heck, i've reset my phone and flashed so many roms that i'd be safe to say that I have yet to have 10 full discharges in the 4 weeks i've had the phone. At the end of the day though, it's mountains better than my iphone 5 with a lenmar battery case.
Wish I could say the same with stability, I'd be on my bike and switch tracks (or try) and stuff just doesn't respond, heck I can't even go with voice activation with wired headphones and that is really a downer for me. I want to be able to hold down the pause and play and get the google now boop boop sound and speak as i'm riding.
I'm tired of this, and google has no answers, the fixes above only seem to add a couple of hours but not the 9 days I was seeing.

Yup probably, the only flaw with a smartphone is its user
Aware of the current discussion around the LTE drain issues with the Exynos version of the phone. Yesterday I did a full 24 hours off charge on exclusively mobile data and lost around 65% for 80 minutes SOT.
Before taking it back to Samsung I wanted to confirm that there wasn't anything else causing the drain . I'm no expert with battery historian but I can't highlight the causes beyond the following:
Screen off uptime: 3hrs 27 mins
Kernel Wakelocks: 5hrs 32 mins
CPU Usage: 2:32 of user time vs 5:14 of 'system time'
Kernel Overhead 1:45
"999:MAILBOX_CP2AP" - I suspect this is linked to outlook but can't be sure, causing 150 wakelocks an hour
"Abort:Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected" - No idea what this is
Would anyone be able to provide any more information or assistance in analysing the chart?
Thanks in advance
Try to change outlook. My experience is that outlook was making battery drain crazy, remove it and got other phone.

Have you tried these tests from a fresh install with no other apps installed? Have you tried this in airplane mode also.?
What was the test results using just wifi?

Haven't and wont have an opportunity to do a fresh install for a while, need to do a day on wifi to compare the results.
I did spend a bit of time on wifi and adaptive power saving and it all but wiped out the "999" wakelock (I think this is because the system more aggressively bins the wakelocks "
Will also try safe mode/ removing outlook to see what happens
I'm having the exactly same issue of yours! 999:MAILBOX_CP2AP is appearing crazily! Do you found any solution yet? My phone don't have outlook installed, but the wakelock still going on crazily.. It seems only appearing actively during mobile data is turned on.
My battery has been doing great for me using LTE all day

I'm glad it's not just me! There is nothing on the internet about it either.
Will try staying in safe mode when I have the time

What outlook are you using? Is this the outlook from the play store or is it corporate setup outlook mail using some sort of exchange servers for synching?
I have since my note 9 disabled the stock Samsung email app and use only outlook. Since the stock email app for me was causing drain.

Strange. That's the only app I use for multiple email accounts that seems to be less resource hungry. I still have gmail all though.

I deleted outlook and the wakelock persisted, so it's not that, but I don't have another mail app so very confused.
The 999:mailbox wakelock still appears when on wifi but its negligible compared to when on LTE

Googling that process didnt yield much success.
I use accubattery pro and gsam. I tried to locate and install battery historian but couldn't find it. Maybe its for exynos only that app?

Unfortunately GSam and better battery stats currently don't work on exynos, I have accubattery but it doesn't offer much beyond basic battery stats
Battery historian uses the bug report that you can produce in developer options

Hmm I tried safe mode, even hard reset OS by sending to service center for them to do that for me, still same.
Although my battery life doesn't consider that awful but not satisfying. I started to doubt whether it's some hardware related issue.

And the wakelock persisted throughout? It might be nothing but the only difference I can see between wifi vs LTE
It's so good for battery on wifi but middling when on mobile data

Over a 50% battery usage period I get approx one or so less hours sot using LTE. If that makes sense. View attachment 4768566View attachment 4768567

I'm Exynos, dual SIM, I am an area manager and phone is my main work tool doing audits on them all say. Both Sims work overtime as I'm mobile all day in remote areas, the screen is an auto as I work outside and need full brightness and I use WQHD. Only thing i turn off is aod and I've done the stuff in the battery optimisation thread
I charge in the evening and get 24 hours on the battery , average is 7 hrs sot and 2 hours talk time
This is perfect for me

Did you play around with your settings?
