[Q] android system usage zapping battery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anytime I check battery, android system is usually using 30- 40% battery with at least 35 packages listed for it. Also very little keep awake time, under 10 minutes. Is this normal? This is on 4.2.2 rooted. Thanks.

no It's not normal, I have the same problem. Still didn't found a solution.
P.S. - noticed that the weather widget is updating constantly, even update period is set to 3 or more hours
- removed the widget and the "android system" is still ~40% of the battery even higher than the screen

You need to rename the apk files in /system/app for it. Depends who your carrier is.

Google Services battery usage

I've had this phone for just under a week. I'm rooted, but running stock. Is Google Services supposed to be using this much battery (more than the screen)? The screen had 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Thanks for any assistance!

My Android System uses #1. I guess they are glitches. Samsung Link was using #2 until I disabled it.

Yeah, now today Google services is way down from where it was. Strange. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. My battery life is still amazing...

I noticed the same thing the first couple of days I had the phone and then it stopped. Possible uploading backups to google?
I never had the issue just like many of you dont see this Android System taking up all the cpu. I wonder if that's caused by me having my GPS on and set to show my location at all times so my close friends can locate me.

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?

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

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?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
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.

Does firmware version 10f have better battery life than 10a?

Stock unrooted D80210a getting approx 5 hours of usage. Will 10f improve this?
EDIT: My apologies for posting in the wrong place. Please move it - and I'm sorry once again.
I'm only on 210a, update tool doesn't find 210f. How come? EU version

It's largely the same. As in, pretty good. I have used the original EUR 10B, then subsequently 10E and 10F.
Most of the battery issues are down to Apps misbehaving and old Google services.
One thing 10E and 10F did improve on was the FM Radio - these later ROMs have later Broadcom drivers.
Kernel is dated later than 10B kernel, but no difference.
For interest, I did a direct comparison between Eur 10B and EUR 10E here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582892 - loads of "changes" but not much in terms of functionality.
Thanks! I'm desperately trying to find a way to improve battery life without disabling knock on. I refuse to believe it's the culprit.

Per process wake and cpu usage

Hi,
I'm trying to understand why phone is out if deep sleep so much.
When looking in most apps of battery/wake/cpu usage, i see that android system and android os are responsible to most of the usage. The problem is that all history accumulating apps do not breakdown the processes under "androud os" and "android system" .
I am looking for an app like that if anyone knows.
Thanks.

So far I am at 94%. 34 minutes of screen on time.
Android system usage still 19%
Android OS down to 10%
I seriously need help, seems like "Knock on" isn't the main culprit.
I hoped it's not that, as i really like it.

Me neither, though it's hard to tell right now with only 6-7% drained.
The phone is "harder" to use with knock-on disabled. I'll keep you tuned
If all you see in your app is android os and android system, then it does not drill down in them to show which of the processes/modules is consuming.
That's what I'm looking for.

Try both Android System Tuner Free and GSam Battery monitor.
Gsam is no good as it does not breakdown to apps in android system/os, but android tuner is great.
I see that most of my drain is from screen and after that it is lge_gravity_sensor and dhd_dpc which is wifi related.

Try disabling Google now. Also disable the Google location settings and I bet your battery life will double.
Never used google now.
Will try to disable location services.
