Oh, download bbs or gsam or any wakelock detector then. Never face that issue with rooting before.

Can you guide me how to troubleshoot?

To see which apps cause the wakelock you need wakelock detector. Better battery stats or gsam can help with that.

This is what I mean...

I see. Which kernel is this? Stock? Try to change your kernel. If that doesn't change anything then maybe others can help you solving this.

Franco kernel. I think my sms is keeping the phone awake...

Market

I went to install an android app via the market on the internet and it doesn't list my Nexus? Probably because it's rooted, but how do I fix this? I've never had this issue with rooted phones before.
Mines rooted and running PA and it shows up in the Play Store. Are you sure you're signed into your google account and sync is on?
Which app?
It has nothing to do with root.

I don't know in your specific situation, but rooting the phone won't make it disappear from your devices in the Play Store.

Any idea how to fix it or if it's an issue with Google and not my phone?
Edit: not sure why but clearing the cache/market data fixed it

[Q] Anybody else with battery draining problems?

I don't have any "weird" application running in the background, this happened with the original carrier ROM (telcel, México) and with a "debranded" canadian ROM.
The battery life just runs away, I've charged my phone fully and then I unplug it, leave it sitting there without touching it like an hour (just wifi enabled, no celular data at all) and I'm getting this.

6% drained in a hour without touching the device.
BTW: It's a SGH - I337M
This is my battery life. On att network. Try installing BBS and see if your getting wakelocks.

Definitely there's something wrong on mine... I'll install that and I'll let it "sleep" all night and see the results.
Thanks a lot. I'll come here again with my results.
Let BBS run at least 48hrs with no reboots to give you a full evaluation. That's what I do and I find the answer in couple of days. :thumbup:

So, I don't understand the application, I don't even know if I need to leave it open or what :/
I've solved it, it was the 4G antenna draining my battery life.
Do you have bad reception? Usually that causes severe battery drain. I'm glad you found what the issue is.

Screen on is 2 and a half hours but I've heard people say they use this phone way more than I use mine and they still get like 14 hours

Something on the phone is causing the CPU to never go to sleep and looks like it is staying at a somewhat high speed as well. When I get a wakelock and am stuck at the lowest speed my phone will drain 50-60% over an 8 hour period, so you must be stuck somewhere in the 500-600MHz range.
I've had my screen on for a while cause of texting also not really any browsing or anything else

Try this app to find out what it truly using up you battery. I found this app so helpful that I bought the Pro Version.
Download cpu spy from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle (it's a free, good quality app and super easy to use). The majority of the time the cpu should be in either 300mhz or deep sleep. Honestly with that kind of battery life, your phone or battery could be defective.

Nasty system drain

Anyone else had these system drain issues? This is the first day I have seen a problem with it after having the phone for a week now.

Google Now isnt on. I hadnt turned it on yet. I just went into the settings for the google search app and verified.
It was the first time mine did it... seems to have normalized since.

I've seen elsewhere that people have had issues with Samsung Link eating up battery life. Turning it off appears to solve the issue.

Pretty reasonable. Thank god I pretty much turn off all non necessary Samsung apps because that's just how Samsung rolls lol

i had almost the same results on my rooted Sprint GS5 with all the samsung stuff, and bloatwhere turned off
Believe it or not.... the "Memos" app was eating more battery than everything else combined for me before I turned it off.

Did you figure out what was eating your battery? Im getting killed with 30% Android system.

Measuring battery usage and wakelocks?

Ok so I'm using cloudy g3 rom and it's great however some users report loads better battery life than me. I never hit 5 hours screen on time. During my work day I mainly just text and check Facebook. So pretty light usage. Hit a max of 4 maybe 4.5 screen on hours.
What app is best to check wakelocks? Tried wakelock detector and gsam all in root mode but the information pretty much just says Android system is keeping the phone awake and kernel or something?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Facebook app and Facebook Messenger lead to ineffective deep sleep of the phone.If you uninstall them and use the mobile web page through the browser battery life will increase significantly.
I've noticed this so removed Facebook messenger. I'd like to keep the Facebook app I've got it to not auto update. Turned off location etc in it too. Not sure what else I can do there?
Here are some screens of GSAM.

Any update ? .. i subscribed to this thread because I'm very curious as well
Get Greenify. You can add apps that it will hibernate when screen is off. You can also manually hibernate through the app or a widget.
Edit: Also Wakelock Detector is useful. Allows you to Google certain wakelocks and has an option to add it to Greenify. System apps aren't Greenify-able unless you buy the donate version.

You're better off removing the Facebook App and keeping Messenger. Use the website or another app such as 'fast for Facebook'
