You can download an app from the play store or, if you are rooted, you could install a battery mod.

Use Xposed framework if you're rooted.. Many modules offer that!

Thanks for the information!

Android system draining too much battery

I am on AOKP rom, and i didn't have battery drain issue before. Now all of a sudden last 2 days I have huge battery drain from Android System. It's draining 51% of the battery, do you know what could have happened maybe?
Thanks

Rogue apps easing your battery life. Keeping your phone awake.
Download Greenify and wakelock detector.

it says these packages are included in android system: Settings storage, input devices, theme chooser, key chain, settings, android system, google backup transfer
I don't see any of them that are rogue, and I didn't change any settings lately....

Battery Drain, Shell?

My battery was draining fast today. I checked the battery stats and it said "Shell" was responsible for 66% of the battery usage. What is shell??
It is some application, I found it in App Ops and it did not use any permissions what so ever.

Interesting. I force stopped it. Would like to know what the heck it was doing. Haven't had any problem with battery drain since I did that.

My battery life has been terrible today...

As the title states, my battery life has struggled mightily today. Check out my pics, what do you think could be causing this?

the 1positive with mine so far is the battery. i go all day (12-14hrs) with moderate use and still have 30% charge when i plug it in.
That's terrible. You got an app freaking out. I noticed a huge drop in battery life when I put on a different sms app.

Not sure what the issue is yet, I was charging my phone. Now I took it off the charger and have better battery stats installed. I will monitor it and let you know.

Held awake for 3 hours because your screen was on for almost that long. Right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.
Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.
Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

NLP-Network Location Process-seems to be your biggest issue. My best bet would be settings>accounts>Google>google+>location

I wasn't signed into Google+, so hopefully turning off the setting above will help. Thanks!

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life
Ok guys, here is how my battery has been doing since I made the changes that everyone suggested. Am I in good shape?

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Getting eaten alive again. What are these top two things?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda premium
Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again

Is there a way to disable Carrier IQ? It's annihilating my idle battery.

I keep my GPS off to help my battery life, but every once in a while the GPS turns itself on randomly and tries to get a lock. It's an issue because while I'm inside it really struggles to get a lock and eats battery like a mofo. I got to work with 97% battery and an hour and a half later I now have 85%.
What can I do to stop this from happening short of waiting for cyanogenmod?

Install System Tuner, free from market (lots of annoying ads, no big deal).
Click the red System Android, click Android System, Details, then uncheck all 7 CarrierIQ related processes.
Worked OK for me and no FC issues with calls or anything.

There's a list in the carrier IQ thread in general

Batter percentage w/numbers?

Any way to show the battery percentage like other cells instead of just the icon of the battery with no numbers?

I use and all called Battery Percent Enabler : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
You install it, run it, restart and then you can uninstall it and the percentage will stay. Works great,
