Bragged to the apple world how great my battery is, now I musta turned something on that's killing it quickly.
Look at the percentage of Android OS in the first, then the 2nd screen shot.
How do I figure out what is killing it?

OK I did that, but I'm sure I did not put all three of the checkmarks on, (I think 1 or 2 of them were checked when new).
My guess is that it's "google location service" ?????

No I have not, and would you mind telling me how to turn off OTA updates, (so stuff doesn't get installed without my knowledge). thx
Who knows of a good app that can let the user know which apps are drawing how much juice?

1. What firmware are you on? Settings > About phone. Say the build number
2. To turn off updates Settings > About phone > Update. But it never gets installed without your knowledge.
3. Install Wakelock detector (from play store) or BetterBatteryStats (search for it here on xda)

"Use wireless networks" ....................... WOW, what a battery killer !!!
This little check mark makes an unbelievable difference in battery productivity. I'm mean "really", (like a whole new device with it unchecked).
I am on Ml9.
Do you folks have a preference as to which battery app I should download?

My motorola xoom gets great battery life when I use it.. However, When my tablet is asleep, i drained 25% in 6 hours
When I looked at battery uses - it showed android OS was eating up the battery while asleep/standy by -
Anyone know what is causing Android OS to be burning my battery while asleep?
I am on airplane mode with wifi on, and the ONLY running services i have are
"settings" ; "thumb keyboard" ; and "google services"
I am NOT rooted, im running the latest update 3.0.1
additionally, I dont think its a battery issue, as I get great battery with continuous use.
looks like theres background services running. make sure you're not pulling updates for any of your apps overnight.
proper test, is to have no 3rd party applications, and leaving it overnight.

"Android OS" can contain the background update services.
What do your wifi settings look like? the simple idea that the antenna is on or scanning for something that's not there will drain life too

Yep, if your settings are to poll every 10 mins for email, facebook, twitter etc then it'll take a definite toll on your battery.

Settings are in each individual app.
I saw it under location services settings and added WiFi + Address when home but fail to see the value... Just another battery drain or does this actually help save battery life?

Not really, it's more an automatic profile switch thingy...
Yes, I meant the Samsung 'my places' and not the one you configure in Google Now... They are definitely different.
I bet it's 100% Samsung thing.
Those could be used by Samsung apps or any third parties via Samsung interfaces.
I guess it's the same as they are doing everywhere - replicating Google functions (playstore -> galaxy shop, messaging, now maps with home/work addresses...).
Is it normal that the app usage drain is over 50%???
"Taschenlampe" is flash, and it was accidently on for 3h, so thats why it's 7%. But the rest??
Mine is the same.

@Kantastisch,
Hi, are these APPs download from the third party or not? If you download many APP, there is no doubt such APP would cost your phone's battery. Also you can choose the better battery usage in the settings. It can be helpful if you choose the right battery save modes.

Thanks for info!
The latest update has re-enabled Google Play Services (GPS) as the prime battery drainer. Not so much Android System, which is made to work overtime by GPS. I've confirmed this on my 6/64 ZB602KL after much monitoring.
My sequence of remedial action goes something like this (not necessarily in the exact order or method*):
Wipe cache partition after 331 update and use your phone normally for a day or so.
Then, with network and data on, open GPS in Settings->Apps and notifications->Show system.
Click on Storage. Clear cache and then click on Manage Space. Click Clear all data bar at the bottom a few times.
Return to the initial menu. Click on FORCE STOP and then click on the 3 dots at the top right. Choose Uninstall updates.
DISABLE.
Now re-enable GPS.
Scroll down to the bottom and click on App details. This will take you to Play Store where you can update GPS to the latest version again.
Launch Google based apps like Play Store, Gmail, Contacts, YouTube, etc to reconnect GPS and/or Android System to Google again.
Done. Excessive battery drain with 331 will still be there but not as bad as before.
* You may try this method or just uninstall updates from the beginning, clear data/cache, disable, enable and then update GPS again. I'm not very sure either as I'm still trying out this solution.
Either way, there seems to be a slight improvement in power drain after performing this unnecessary task - thanks to Asus' idea of "system optimization".
Good luck.
Edit: restart your phone after doing the above.

Hi, I want disable Battery Optimization mechanism fully.
I have put some applications like Orbot and Call Recorder to do not optimize app, But android was close these apps same as it put on optimize...
I use Greenify to put app in Hibernate mode and want disable android default battery optimization because it has problem (May just for me).
Is there anyway to disable this feature? With Magisc or any soft/hard way?!

I think its related to android battery optimization... Because I use Greenify recently, and before I use Greenify have this problem too.

It kills apps because the device cant handle it. Its 1.5GB of RAM on a 4 year old budget device not a new flagship which has tons of RAM and is able to keep apps open.
