Battery drain when idle - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I just got my LG G2 and so far lovin' it. I just noticed a battery drain problem though.
I left my phone at 87% when I went to bed at around 12am, this is with WIFI and Mobile Data off. When I woke up at 7:30am, it was down to 71%. I checked BBS and the number one item under Kernel wakelock was bam_dmuc_wakelock.
I've read multiple threads regarding this but have not found a concrete solution. One thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/-t2688930) said that this is normal and some app may just be causing this.
Here are the current apps installed on my phone which were also the same ones installed on my HTC One X where this battery drain problem does not exist:
BBS
Dolphin Browser
Facebook
Instagram
LinkedIn
KK Keyboard
NBA GAME TIME
Olympus Image Share
Simple mp3 Downloader
Speedtest
Tapatalk
TeamViewer
UFC
Viber
Whatsapp
Youtube
Can anyone help me with this battery drain issue of mine?
Thanks in advance!

If you rooted, you can try Greenify to identify the culprit.
Maybe you can check battery settings to see what is eating it up?

bam_dmux is for mobile data so anything that keeps mobile data connection open it will show up. Stands for broadband access multiplier demultiplier.
so the problem in question should be simple, what app is continuously using your mobile data connection causing the bam_dmux_wakelock

The thing is, my mobile data is always off when I sleep. Is it possible that Whatsapp and Viber is causing this? I mean even though mobile data is off, can they be trying to look for a connection thus causing the wakelock?

BTW, I installed Deep Sleep Battery Saver and tried it last night when I went to sleep at 12am. When I woke up at 7am, the phone only discharged 4% now.

ive had issues with facebook eating my battery on a bunch of devices. when removed i see a dramatic change in battery life. that is my experience, and may or may not be concrete enough to say that it would be the problem for battery drains.

well like they mentioned earlier you can try greenifying whatsapp/viber or other apps(different apps on a daily basis) to try and find out which app is cause the wakelock, but remember that if you use any of these on a daily basis then greenifying them wouldn't be a good idea(unless you only greenify them when you go to sleep and when you wake up you ungreenify them)

I'd probably try your suggestion about using greenify. I usually use whatsapp and viber a lot during the day. My only concern was the amount of battery getting drained at night when I go to sleep so I guess greenifying them at night does make sense.

Try uninstalling the stock facebook app. It was murdering mine.

Sorry for my question, but how do I do this?

I've noticed that my bluetooth has been contributing to the battery usage. Even though I haven't been using it and has always been off. From the screenshot, it's been awake for more than 7hrs.

yes but its not an actual drain you can see on the top it has only wasted 5% battery(in 7 hours that doesn't even amount to 1% an hour), even though its off it remains in a low energy state(idk why it does though) if it were actually draining battery then the cpu time would be almost the same as awake time(somewhere around 5 and 6 hours) and percentage drain would be higher but I have noticed that after about 2 months on kk(for me atleast) I had started using Bluetooth a lot once I got kk whether to stream music or connect controller to play emulators my Bluetooth doesn't false positive anymore instead it either shows the actual time it was used for(usually a couple hours every day sometimes 3 or 4 out of lets say a day I got 14 hours total use) and another thing I noticed is if I leave it off it will give me the false positive or if I leave it on all day and let it connect/disconnect to the different devices gives me actual usage time

to change kernel speeds you need root/custom kernel and I don't know how to do the battery calibration test

I think I found the problem.
When I leave my phone on during the night, I turn mobile data and wifi off, but my connection is still LTE. I was noticing about 10-15% drain as soon as I wake up. What I tried was to set the phone to just use 2G (GSM), still leaving mobile data and wifi off. I woke up this morning with just 3% battery drain.
It's weird though because I get very good LTE reception so I don't think that a poor LTE connection was causing the problem.
Does this mean that LTE really consumes that much battery?

Android OS draining battery?

Well my nexus has been giving me 5 hours SOT for the longest time, but just randomly, it decided to start dying really fast. I checked battery stats, and sure enough, android OS is the killer here. I'm aware android OS drains are usually because of apps installed, but I haven't installed anything new or suspicious any time recently. I even did a full wipe and reinstalled the rom I'm running.

Here's my battery shots.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot which apps are killing my system? I'm running CM 4/22/13 and franco.kernel r127 if that makes any difference.
Thanks guys!
If your phone has been on standby for that long then obviously androidos will be up there since nothing else has been working your battery. Post the pics so I can clarify this.

Nah because when it happened (at least for me) the battery drain was sudden and drastic.
All day Screen was at the top, then all of the sudden in the evening Android OS went from 15% to 74% in about 15 minutes.

android os thing happened to me, i think for me it was because it was trying really hard to connect and stay connected to the bad wifi at my school, turned off wifi and the drain stopped. not sure about ur situation though

This might just help you out. It'll show you any partial and kernel wakelocks and which processes are causing it.
I had this problem a while ago, so I did a clean install of my rom and apps and the problem was gone. If you can pinpoint the app that's causing your phone to stay awake, you can avoid having to do what I did xD
Really weird... this has been happening to me too, but not as drastic as yours (still a good chunk)
I just reflashed my ROM just in case that was the problem.
Also when I used better battery stats to see what's going on, all it showed me was the power manager thingy. Which showed me nothing.

That's all it ever shows when it comes to Google services jacking up the phone. Kind of convenient for Google since we can't pin down/point blame for the issue

Turning off WiFi when idle at school seems to have helped. I did notice that when I got to my house it seems the battery drain is more normal. Maybe it really is because the WiFi is just slow.

i have this problem with my galaxy grand phone ,the battery discharges in 20hr , default OS was 4.1.2 official samsung , i changed my rom into a slim custom rom based 4.2.2 , but the battery has same problem again , Android OS battery Usage Was 80% !!!! and screen usage just was 9% !
my installed software :
Viber
WeChat
MyKet {Like Android Market}
Weather Widget
i used wifi 1-2 hour in a day ,
=================================
[SOLVE]
first go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Apps Tab -> checked Don't keep activities
set brightness to auto
then go to location services -> off access my location
then go to wifi -> advanced Wi-Fi -> keep wi-fi on during sleep -> change to Never
now go to application manager -> Running Tab -> Force stop some apps with extra ram usage like settings
my phone just uses 5% battery in 13hr sleep mode ; ENJOY!

I think if you only do this you will solve the problem.
At least for me my only problem with "Android OS" is when sleeping my phone and having "keep wi-fi on during sleep -> Always".
I have franco kernel and cannot check the kernel wakelocks but I test some days with CM kernel and didn't see any kernel wakelock that consumes too much battery... but maybe some of you have this problem: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1039838404
Wow, what a surprise... I solve my own problem with my last reply xD
I mean, when I installed CM months ago I select "keep wi-fi on during sleep -> Always" because I thought that if I don't do this I will not receive any notification. The fact is that when putting "Never" Android OS was CPU active mostly the 80-90% of time my phone was sleeping and Wifi ON and now with "Always" (or when plugged) has CPU active like 20-30%... AND I receive notifications also.
Probably when downloading a large data If I put my phone to sleep It will stop download, I didn't try.
One thing I don't understand is that when sleeping it doesn't use mobile data (as it says "Increases data usage"), even I have data and wifi on.
So, if I get notifications in both options ("Never" and "Always") and I get less battery drain with "Never" I prefer "Never".

There is a bug in google backup service, google backup service acquires wfii connectivity lock and does not release it for hours which prevents device entering deep sleep and as a result drains battery. Fortunately you can disable backup in Settings->Accounts->Backup and Reset-> uncheck 'Backup my data'. This should resolve the issue ... after a full recharge monitor your battery stats - Android OS should NOT be on the top.

Sorry disabling backup didn't help - encountered the same problem. There is indeed a bug that some OS module that holds a wlan lock but it's not a backup service. I suspect that full charge triggers this flow. Device restart will temporarily fix the issue. I'll post if i will find the causer, sorry for mislead.

Android System Battery Drain

Anyone else experiencing a battery drain ~ 28% Android System usage and 23% screen on time (~4.25 hours) with 20% battery remaining. Any solution to this? Probably a wake lock?
Yes battery drain alot
The only solution work for me is turn on upower saving
If you have rooted u cant disable wakeclock service. You can find in forum

I disabled the s health app which has helped, still seeing around 20% usage from android system though.
I bet that you have Dropbox sync on. I am not talking about uploading new pictures to Dropbox automatically, I am talking about ur phone downloading all your preexisting pictures from Dropbox. This stupid feature is on by default and killed my battery until it was done syncing. I have since switched off this stupid option. It shows up as android system drain because it actually unrelated to the Dropbox app. It's your gallery app that's doing all the downloading.

Anyone still using Greenify out there?
on my device disabling location reporting seemed to help a lot with the Android system battery drain
I use DU Battery Saver to turn off all apps and network when screen is off.. also, you can disable apps from running in the background when the screen is off too.. I don't have the screenshot, but I got about 21 hours with 5 hours display using this method.. I'm also getting a 4500mah battery too.. so hopefully that helps.. Also, I tried going into 'ART' mode and found out that the DU Battery Saver Widget went up by 2-3 hours.. so hopefully Lollipop can help extend the battery too.. I found out that under 'Location' in the Settings you can use 'Power savings Mode' for the GPS, and also turn off the Google Reporting and Location (on the bottom)..
I got my phone two weeks ago but i just started having this problem yesterday. I went to turn off location reporting and under recent location request, i saw Unified Daemon and it had high usage. Prior to having this problem Unified Daemon was not in the list. Could this be what's causing my problem?
Edit: I hit force stop and turn off and its now out of the list. I'm going to keep watching it to see if this fixed the problem.

I'm on n910c, Battery life is quite bad the same as on my 2 year old note 2. I guess only root can help...
On mine, I get an average of 50% deep sleep and 50% at 300mhz with "msm_hsic_host" as the main culprit.
Weird. Monitoring my apps, none of them use wakelock more than seconds per hours.

Check if your phone turns off the display after the display timeout. I have seen this happen in Moto X sometimes.. It just stays awake. Restart fixes it.
How about brightness? Set it in Auto Brightness mode. Check your Settings->Display page and check all the fields. Apart from that Screen taking 38% is surprising.

I've been having the same problem. I updated a bunch of apps yesterday, (mostly Google apps) and it the battery seems to be better today. It may be too early to tell, but I'm hoping it was one of the Google apps that draining the battery and that it was corrected with the update.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's battery suddenly got a lot worse. I thought it was Snapchat since I had started using it recently, but the battery usage page doesn't reflect that.
One thing to check is the awake time. If you notice that your device seems to be awake all the time, I'm willing to bet that it has to do with google play services.
If rooted, there is an easy fix via gservices app on market.

I'm having the same issue. Really only getting about an hour of screen time these days. When I first got the phone it was 2+ hours. Mostly use WiFi vs cellular for data, which I thought should be more battery friendly. I make sure I don't have apps running... I'm thinking maybe my battery has just been getting weaker over time.
Here's a good read on battery wear http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
If you charge once a day like everyone the battery decreases by 15% after a year.

Brightness is already set to auto. Also, I've check the settings and display page. Its as it should. I wiped out cache partition and it improved a little. Though I didn't saw significant change by doing that. It still runs for max 6-7 hours. That's it.

Doesn't actually do anything. People need to stop facilitating this dumb myth.
Google said:
This file [batterystats.bin] is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings. That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you. It has no impact on your battery life.

May be u need to calibrate your battery. Try to put the phone in charge and let it reach 100% and post that dont remove the charger for 4-5 hours. This is a method to calibrate. Try this and lets see if it helps.
And, I see that you are in H+.. Try using your phone in 2G for a day and observe the battery patterns.
You should clean battery stats from recovery.. Have you tried this?
Mine will drain fast but then it will sit at 1% for several hours before finally shutting off. I have not found a fix and it's been going on for a few months now.

u let the battery die out then recharge to full without switching it on. Once complete boot the phone and when booting is complete then remove the charging cable.

Hard to know, my Style seems to have similar idle battery drain issues.
It generally shows high google play services usage so may be a bug on location services or something like that.
I wouldnt recommend turning wifi off though. Maybe try playing around with location settings though.. I havent really looked into it myself yet. Kind of hoping it would fix itself with a play services background update.. might be wishful thinking.

Get better battery stats and find out what wakelocks are causing your drain. I lose only 1% per hour or less after tweaking.
Bangin' on my unlocked/rooted
Moto X Pure
your have no idea.. try factory reset.
My battery experience has been very positive on the MXPE. My usage on idle is less than 1%/hour. After a whole day of normal use yesterday, including occasional phone calls, bluetooth, low-power location on, and about an hour reading on it, the MXPE averaged 1.9%/hour. This is the best battery life I've ever had on a phone.
The biggest battery drains are the WiFi network notification, WiFi scanning always available, both under the Advance WiFi settings, WiFi always left on, using high accuracy GPS all the time, and the myriad of push notifications in apps these days - gmail, yahoo mail, facebook, google+, twitter, google settings, etc. I disable all push notifications in all apps except my work email, and that's on an hourly polling rate, and weather bug, which updates every 30 minutes. It takes a while to drill down through all the various app settings, but the result is well worth it in terms of battery life. Of course, it you want constant push notifications and high accuracy GPS 24/7, then you get what you get.
Anyone else has any tips?

If you're rooted an app like LeanDroid can really help manage connections when idle.

So I disabled WiFi while phone sleeps and the wakelocks are gone also wiped cache in recovery.

Another tip. GPS to device only. And turn off the Google app location BS. The Google stuff drains excessively and device only actually drains less than battery saver lol. Battery saver seems to keep GPS on all the time while device only seems to to only activate GPS when an app pulls it.
P.S. disable the discover card app from polling location cause it does so way to often. Otherwise... Good luck.

Did you guys manage to fix the GPS battery drain?

Overnight battery drain

I have a problem that I noticed some people are experiencing. Overnight idle the phone drains like 25% with wifi off and on battery saver. Is there a known cause for this? My Honor 8 is brand new. Help!
Edit - When I go to sleep -

After I wake up it's normal again (I turn WiFi on and use phone normally) -
I will try and leave WiFi on during the night today to see if it makes any difference.
Fyi, since I woke up and turned wifi on, the battery has only went down by 1%! Something is not right. How can it drain so much without using it and almost none when I actually use it.
Screenshot from today (from 1pm till 7pm, only lost 2%)

Which hardware and firmware version are you using?
Do you have cellular data connected when WiFi is off?
Does the battery graph show constant system awake time during these periods of high drain?

Hi. I'm using FRD-L09 and EMUI 5, build FRD-L09C432B381.
No wifi, no mobile data turned on. All apps closed.
Yesterday I left it at ultra power save when it was at 12%, after I woke up (around 6 hours). it was off. Don't think that's normal either.
Sometimes I have the same problem. Overnight phone drops 25% of the battery.
What I found useful is to turn off Wifi+, Link+ and in GPS location (3 dots -> Search settings -> turn off Searching for Wifi and Bluetooth). In fact that will stops searching for Wifi, while Wifi is toogled off.
It might help you, I think this is Android 7 issue, since most people complains about heavy battery drain when not using the phone. Noone complained when using Android 6.
This isn't normal, but at the same time it is... I don't think any one person has figured out the real reason why, but many of us have had similar battery drain for seemingly no reason. I simply backed up my data and factory reset the phone and haven't had an issue since. Others haven't been so lucky.
Can you take a screen shot of your battery graph so we can see if your system is awake during the drain?
I have update B381 and u have this problem with battery drain for my is very bad battery life update B360 was good for battery life.
I found the high Idle battery usage some what related to the phone keep search for upgrade and the process "android OS" was consuming around 50% all the time.
After set these two setting, it fixed the battery drain and "android OS" only use around 20%. Now it remains 100% battery for 10 hours standby.
1) Setting->System update ->(three dots)->Update Settings->Wifi auto download (Disable)
2) Setting->Battery->(Setting icon on top right)->keep wifi on when sleeping->Never
I did as everyone suggested and turned off auto WiFi and bluetooth search and auto WiFi download of the system updates. If I turn off keep WiFi on during sleep, I don't get any notifications from messaging apps, so I won't do that. I've also only left Messenger, Viber and Whatsapp in the whitelist of programs that will be closed when screen is locked.
Here is the most recent screenshot of the battery usage.
Try factory reset and wipe cache. Screenshot tells us that your phone is awake when you are not using it.
Okay, I'll try later tonight and reply tomorrow if anything's changed.
p.s. Any good full backup apps?

Just use the backup tool that was loaded on the phone. It works nearly perfectly to backup all your texts, call log, apps, settings, etc.

Looks like it tried to sleep when you went to bed last night, but something woke it up early in the morning and it never went back to sleep. Find out what that was and you may solve your problem.
If you have data, you still get notifications.

As a test, I created a Magisk module that freezes all of Huawei's system power management apps and superfluous services. I just loaded it today, so it'll be a few days before I can provide feedback on if it improves battery life.
I backed it all up and am wiping it tonight but I was thinking. Perhaps it's not a good idea to restore the data yet? Maybe I should try a night with stock settings/apps to see if that makes a difference, then restore all and see if there's any difference.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect that experiment to provide you with any useful info. You will naturally see more battery drain once you have your apps and services running because more will be happening in the background. Reinstall everything and use your device normally to get the most accurate comparison to your previous battery life.

Factory reset I know how to do, but how to give the wipe cache?
IIRC, the cache should be wiped automatically when you Factory Reset.
I like to do it manually. Turn off the phone. Hold Vol + and power button.
I wonder how the battery drain overnight will be with the new custom Roms which are out.
