Anyone else having this problem? All the sudden Android OS is taking a ton of battery, killed half my battery overnight while the screen was off. Anyone have any of these problems?
Android OS is too general to say what is causing the wakelock. Use an app that can see which process is causing the wakelock directly and you will know what the problem is.

My android os consumes 70% of my battery. Tried better battery stats, but I don't see any wake locks

Then you definitley have an app or two that is causing it. Try CPU Spy (let's you know if you get deep sleep or not) and see if that helps any. I hate battery drain so best of luck in solving your battery drain issue.
Since I've upgraded to 4.2 roms on all my devices I've noticed this too. Normally, Maps is the culprit causing a "normal" wakelock. Google +, Latitude, Google Now, etc. This is just the way Google operates now & the biggest difference between 4.1 & 4.2. I've taken to disabling Location unless I'm needing GPS service. It checks your location every couple minutes it seems.
I've had a situation you describe a few times caused by media storage. It keeps scanning the SD card. Sometimes a reboot helps but mostly I've just changed roms instead of chasing it. Better Batt Stats should show it somewhere. Keep looking, look in "alarms". Also you might try GSam Battery Monitor. That app has come a long way lately & also helps finding battery sucking sources.

For me it was Viber. After deleting it I get almost no battery drain over night. Maybe 1% in 8 hours...
Hey guys. First proper charge from around 3% too 100% and I'm getting battery drain already, I thought this issue was resolved in lollipop? Not the mention the emense heat that comes off of this device
Check out the picture and get back to me. Thanks.

Same thing is happening to me... I don't find that the drain is really so bad, as I still get pretty great battery life, but does appear that this issue is still present in lollipop. Seems pretty wide spread among Android users.
I had an iphone for about 5 months. Went back to android and the problem still persists I got 3.5 hours of screen on time yesterday. Take a look at this
Also getting battery drain, the main offender seems to be the "mobile standby" which is always around 50-65% for me.

I think this was an error in reporting in the stock firmware, I haven't had a problem with the battery, in fact it's been really good. Since updating to B132 (GRA-L09) the battery usage seems to be reported correctly.
Interesting, I'm not sure what the normal drain should be then. My HTC One had a pretty good battery life, but it seems with this phone the battery drains quite fast when I'm using Chrome and WhatsApp etc. The power saver reports Chrome uses a max of around 10% but the rest use very little %, yet it seems I'm using around 30-40% of the battery in around half an hour.
Do you think using a custom rom (when they become available) would be any different?
Not sure if a custom rom would help. Are you rooted? If so you should have a look at betterbatterystats which should show you what's using up the battery.
When I'm mostly on wifi I can get 5 hours of screen time with 32+ hours running time.
i have the same problem with the "mobile standby" batery drain
i did a clear data/cache then factory reset, and now it's ok
androyd system still drain batery pretty much
sorry for my bad english

Was going to wait for a few roms to be released before rooting, but the battery life seems so poor I think I'll do it just to find out.
I've had the same Problem with the battery drain and analysed this with the Wakelock Detektor (needs root). Cause was the "NlpWakeLock" thats part of the Google Services. Then I disable the Google Location History everything went well. They are a lot of of useres, who have the same problem. The only real solution (If you want to use the Location history) is a Xposed module for that you need a working Xposed framework.
I have now disabled Google location history, hopefully this fixes the problem for me too.

Its lolipop, i think 6.0 will fix this.
Hey everyone, I purchased the 6P a week ago and I really don't understand the battery in this thing.... I'm coming from LG G3 which never faced battery drain during stand by. I am not even using the 6P (still haven't migrated from the G3) because of the unreasonable battery drain during sleep, I have WiFi always on and (no I don't accept to turn it to Never during sleep) I never did this with any phone anyway, my G3 doesn't lose more than 1-2% during the whole night (7 hours).
Please take a look and tell me if this makes any sense because I'm thinking of returning the thing if it's not just a software issue:

Battery life is really hit or miss, many lose 0-3% during the night while others like yourself lose a ton. Try changing your WiFi to either 2.4GHz only or 5GHz only, as some found that helps out. Custom kernels can also control WiFi wakelocks, and I've found running Franco kernel does a great job at helping standby life.
How's the signal strength from within your home? Having a weak cell signal can assist in battery drain. However that's some serious drainage. I'm thinking you have one or more wakelocks preventing the phone to deep sleep. If you're rooted, greenify is a must. It has boosted my battery life by a ton. I would also try to get some more battery stats applications. Better battery stats was/is my favorite app but I'm not sure its working on MM

Although it is not convenient to switch between the 2 bands ( Work is on 2.4GHz and Home is on 5GHz) but I will try it to see if it helps any.
Do you think this will be fixed with software update? and is it because Android M or because 6P on Android M?

Signal strength is fine at my home ( never faced an issue with G3).
I haven't installed anything that can hog battery like that, I only set-up Email, Hangouts to Sync, I never used Greenify or any battery saving apps ( The battery should last as advertised with it's standard capacity), i'm not asking for a magical battery life, just what's expected of a 3450 mAh.
I'll post Sambatterystats results shortly.
See if WiFi scanning is turned off
Many say the battery drain issue really spiked with the update to Android 6.01. So it appears to be SW related, and not HW, FWIW.
I found my fix is as Geoff53 said above, install a custom kernel (Kylo in my case). And I use Greenify on top of it. Great battery life now.

I hope it's just the 6.0.1 .. because I really would hate to return it..
Well, I'd go as far as flashing a custom ROM if that would completely solve the problem, not just the Kernel.
I initially had bad batter drain, not now. Unplug 6:30 am and 10pm still have 45%. Use to be dead by 7pm. I found the culprits were bad apps that I thought were OK. Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, ESPN, Waze.... when I deleted these and a few more, then rebooted all was good. Haven't tried putting them back though. I leave GPS, WIFI, blue tooth... all on. Even have 3 mail apps all set to "push." I don't twitter though.
Make a back up with Titanium or MyBackup, factory wipe and reset and see if your battery improves with only basic apps and mail. Bet it's bad apps. If improves slowly add apps until you find the culprit.

In my opinion, the " Bad App" theory is getting a bit out of hand. I installed the same apps as on my G3 (never had a bad app on it) , and 6P has been factory reset and insatlled nothing at all, only logged into gmail and hangouts, and I tried with the (WiFi during sleep set to never ) then the drain is not as bad anymore but I lost realtime push notifications which is unacceptable.
Now if believe there are so many "bad apps" then we can have the Doze which is supposed to minimize app drain if not terminate it, but that's not the case here obviously, so I think it's actually specific WiFi bug on Android M and not bad apps.

did u somehow manage to decrease standby drain?
I've been getting a lot of idle battery drain after only a couple of weeks and it's very disappointing to see. I used GSAM Battery Monitor (after granting the additional permissions via adb) and it looks like my three biggest issues are Phone Services, the OS itself, and Google Play Services. I have attached screenshots below of the information from GSAM.
Anyone experiencing something similar or know of any way to fix this?

looks like it is your app usage not your screen that is using most of your battery. Try closing/uninstalling some apps.

If you look at the first post, the "apps" causing the majority of battery drain is the Kernel and Call Services. That's my problem, but I don't know how to fix this.

My battery is good. Can you go to settings, battery & power saving and take a screenshot of the bottom of the Battery usage screen. It shows what apps are using what, just like the app that you are using but stock android for statistics. Phone idle is using the most for me with 4% followed by Screen with 2%. I have had the phone on battery for 5 hours and 15 minutes from a full charge and still have 90% battery left. I usually end the day with about 60% or 70% battery life remaining.
Also are you using wifi calling? Do you need it? Turning it off might help your battery.
EDIT: also even if call services takes up 16% and you don't have any apps running then you are only using 16% of your battery. I you have 32 apps open using 1% each you are using 32%. From the screenshots it looks like you are using a lot of apps which means a lot of battery drain.

"My battery is good." Doesn't really help me man, mine was good for the first couple weeks I had the phone, but my usage habits haven't changed.
Phone Idle is at 32%, Call Services is at 12%, Screen at 10%, Snapchat at 8%. I use WiFi calling as there is almost no signal at my apartment. When I leave however I turn it off.

Ok, Yeah I was just using my battery as a comparison. Looks like phone idle is eating up a lot of battery and It is probably because you have low signal or because of the wifi calling. Not sure which as I don't use wifi calling. You might want to look at getting a Sprint Magic Box. https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/serv...16=magic box |All&question_box=magic box |All
Only problem is that it isn't out yet so you would have to preorder it. The good news is that it looks like it is going to be free.
Did you figure out any solution to this? I'm having similar performance on my Sprint G6 and not sure how to fix it... All these people reporting 5-6 hours of SOT have me really jealous.

I'm having the exact same issue with my sprint g6. Battery was fine until recently. Nothing has changed, no new apps or anything. Adb reports call services draining the most, just like your screenshots. Anyone ever figure out the culprit for this issue?
I haven't figured it out yet, but I really hope someone does. I read somewhere that resetting the phone fixes the issue even in the long term but I don't really want to back up all my data and apps and everything to try it.

Try using iRoot, maybe it can rewrite how your phone uses different apps to save battery.
Anyone have any luck solving this? I'm having the exact same problem with the same phone - Sprint LG G6 and "Call Services" is my primary battery drain.
I don't have particularly low signal - med/high for most of the day and I have wifi calling turned off. I've had this same problem across multiple phones (G5 and G6) as well as across factory resets on both phones. I used to get great battery life with my G5(~85% at the end of the day if I didn't use it much) and then this started happening about a year ago.
Wakelock detector is showing >1000 wakeup triggers from call services - the most by tenfold above everything else.
Seems like it might be related to Sprint/LG since Call Services has mostly LG related processes running on it, but unfortunately that doesn't help me get rid of the battery drain. Any ideas?
Hey there I have S10+ eu g975f with last firmware OFFICIAL. My battery is draining to fast even with the screen off. I tried to flash again the official firmware but the problem persists to exist.i don't even play games, watching movies or something similar. Just messenger and Instagram.
Last days of the battery usage. In 2 mins of using it or while screen is off is losing like 1-2 percent of ?. What can I do for it ?
Sorry for double posting

Bad reception or low signal drains battery because the phone is actively looking for better signal or closer cell tower if you have 1 bar or 2 bars i would turn off data or switch to wifi if you're home. Another thing also another member above said Facebook and Facebook Messenger are FAMOUS like i mean Arnold Schwarznegger famous for draining the battery in the background because they are constantly doing shady stuff when you're not looking syncing messages or listening to push notifications, also that Instagram looks suspicious as hell, i don't have one but it looks weird in my eyes that it drains so much in less than an hour.
If i was in your place i would uninstall Facebook and FB Messenger and Instagram then charge the phone to 100 before bed and when you wake up you should have about 96% left if it's like 90% or lower then yeah an app is running in the background syncing and won't let your phone go to to sleep and my bet is on those 3 apps Or just turn off Sync from the pull down menu and see what happens, let us know here what you find out good luck

Battery doesn't deteriorate that fast unless you let the battery drain all the way to 0 multiple times. Lithium ion batteries have a finite amount of charges to them, it is best to keep the battery in the range of 20% to 80%.
Download an app called AccuBattery i have the full version you can find out the status of your battery and what's going on with it

Also I have the full version of this application on my smartphone, it's just shows the battery life while having this app in the background but it keeps drain because it consume battery.
I will download it again and see the battery .

It doesn't show much it's been 2 days but something is killing your battery. I purchased the s10+ Exynos version and haven't done anything to it yet no apps installed just the firmware upgrade to CTF1 June1 security patch and battery is fine here so it must be software related.
Try to find an app called BetterBatteryStats i'm sure you heard of it that app will show you in detail who or what is preventing your phone from going into sleep even system apps are acting up it will show so try that i'm pretty sure an system app is acting up.
In my old days from kitkat and lollipop era the Google play services was always the problem back then.
I forgot also another app Wakelock Detector i don't know if that app is still around that's what i used to find out what was killing my battery on my Note 3 lol

Yeah I would install those apps i mentioned to the guy above to try and trace the cause i'm pretty sure an app or a system app is using wakelock to prevent the phone from going into sleep or deep sleep
Apps that use GPS are common and wifi as well. Lately i've been reading that last firmware update messed up the phone so one step at a time we'll find out who the culprit is
First time I see this popup.
I thought don't needed to run any commands or to be rooted.
Check this out guys. Is it bad ?
Do I need to change my battery ?
