Does anyone know how I can find out what's draining my battery?
It goes from 100% to 85% in less than an hour. Just a little facebook and web browsing and it drains. Also when I leave it idle it drains significantly. It'll be great if you guys recommend an app or tips on how to save battery life.

Need to check your sync settings. How often are your accounts set to sync?
facebook is the culprit... even when it isn't doing anything, it's doing way too much. Log out and see if your battery improves.
I use facebook to sync contact pictures only.... just turn off the facebook notifications by going into the app, menu - settings and check off notifications.

Big help: use that app disabling method and disable app that you don't use. Biggest culprits are Google bloatwares such as: finance, shopper, listen, my tracks and many more. Also make sure you use a taskiller that works cuz most are crap and just make up fake number of killed apps. (Ask me if you wanna know how to find out if a taskiller works or not)

I have mine set to sync contacts only as well... works perfectly fine. Very little drain.
Basically, I agree with you. Don't sync notifications ... manually do that via the app if you want to.

Finance isn't really bloatware... it's a good app.
Shopper, listen and my tracks I'll give you. I disabled some of those type apps.

You don't need a task killer in my opinion. Use the running services tab in application settings to disable anything you don't want running.

Taskiller is good because I prefer one app running constanly in comparison to 6 or more. The taskiller I use is the one with the red droid icon. To find out if a taskiller is good open it and make sure its not excluded or ignored then click "kill all apps" or whatever. And if the taskiller itself isn't killed then its not worth squat

Exchange is the same on all the Android phones so I'd be curious to hear what you have setup and how.

Exchange email sync has a known problem for high cpu usage. I can't post the link as I'm new, but do a google search for "email sync high cpu" - it's the google.code issue #5424
Please note that there is a workaround that has worked for nearly all users. Set the exchange email sync to "never" or "push". The issue is that with specified time intervals the sync may fail and continue failing, consuming ~50% of your cpu.
I've experienced this myself, and couldn't understand why my phone was so slow till I looked at the processes running and % of cpu usage (via 'top'). I'm experimenting with never-sync and only have a handful of days battery monitoring and guessing I'm getting about 8 more hours out of my battery (again, not empirical data).
edit: I stopped using task-killers after reading up on froyo behavior and more importantly monitoring my cpu usage (again via top). All the apps that were showing "running" in my task-killer were consuming ~0% cpu. They were using memory, but I now leave it up to the OS to manage that. In the end I find that the apps that I didn't want running were eventually automatically stopped by the OS for me.
Can someone tell me the average battery life for the g2? Normally I'm only worried about battery life if I'm gone at work or out and about. Normally I just txt when I'm at work or out with people.

I have G2 my avg battery life is about 36 hours on reg battery casual usage and about 18 hours with heavy usage (i consider heavy usage data streaming from slacker, using phone as modem via wifi router 150 text messages and about 10 calls). setup i have is 2g when NOT using the phone, background data off & auto sync off, email account set for manual sync.
In regards to Task killer they are worthless on froyo devices use Watchdog app it watches for rogue app that are consuming too much power.
I have a evo battery in my current phone right now and I never worry about battery life. i did a little modifications to get it to fit but it works great (make sure you get the red color battery if thats the case, I didnt get the correct battery originally but i ripped everything off the battery it fits and it works).
Reference this thread for the battery.
Hi Guys,
Just upgraded my GNex for a N4. I've added the same email accounts as I had on the GNex but I'm suffering appalling battery life with the "Exchange Services" service being responsible for 44% of battery use on my N4. I've searched around and it seems quite a common thing for some people, but not necessarily with the N4.
Has anyone else had this on their N4 specifically? I've tried removing/adding the Exchange account, clearing the cache etc, but I still seem to have the issue. It's a real pain for me as I really rely on this functionality. All the suggestions I've read on other forums haven't worked so far :crying:
I've had it on my Nexus on AOKP, but goes away after deleting the account, reboot, then recreating the account. Kinda random, but has happened more than once over the last few months...

Just an update to this:
I've suffered this issue since I got the phone. However, 2 days ago, "Maps" started to be use as much battery time as "Exchange Services".
Today however, "Exchange Services" and "Maps" are insignificant in terms of battery use. In fact, I've been on battery power for 8 hours and I'm at 80% battery remaining - which is incredible considering my recent experience. I'm hoping that something has finally sorted itself out and this is how it will continue.
I'll report back if things change.
VERY happy at the moment as this was rendering the phone as almost unusable. Fingers crossed it's sorted.
OK, it's been a couple of weeks now so I thought I'd do another update - which can effectively close this off for me.
Since Exchange Services sorted itself out, I've not had any re-occurrence of the issues I had before. I've even changed the Exchange settings to pull all email/calendar etc rather than just a small time limited slice. It seems like it's fixed for good (touch wood).
In fact, even with push email activated (and plenty of other syncing going on), my phone currently stands at:
7h 11m on battery and 81% left - very impressive I think (although I have spent most of today on WIFI which will help).
I was getting horrendous battery life on my new Nexus 7 stock and rooted / custom ROM.
I decided to wipe, install zero apps except Chrome and fire away at the battery. YouTube has streamed 3 hours worth of an HD video and I'm at 72%!!! Nice!!!!
I was using FB and FB messenger, Firefox beta and really that's about it. Needless to say I'll hold off on installing them until they've been optimized with 4.3

I'm sure my battery life would be great with no apps installed too. I'm holding off on wiping mine though, because I'm sure after I root and reinstall my stuff, the battery life will go to crap again.
On my Nexus 7 Google Services has an inordinate amount of keep awake time. So I'm hoping updates will fix the issue.

I've heard people uninstalling Google Services helps. Might cause issues elsewhere though. I think certain battery savers can limit specific apps from keeping the device awake. Im on CM and my device goes into deep sleep quite often. Like 86% of the time.

A thousand times THIS.
If you really want FB install tinfoil. You lose notifications, but it's FBs garbage constant notification polling that is keeping your device awake.
Not trying to defend Facebook but.... Its not like fb doesn't have the option to turn notifications off. Chat availability off. Refresh interval to never. Messenger location off.
At some point no matter how bad the app is it comes down to user error.

It doesn't matter. I turn that crap off and while it probably helps, FB is always eating up tons of memory and keeping the battery drained.
I use APW Widgets, setup a Facebook widget, and click through to the mobile Facebook page using Next Browser. The Facebook app has some perks over this but using this method, I know its not leeching my contacts and mobile usage.

I believe you as I've had issues like this too with many apps.
What I don't understand is how two people with same hardware, same ROM, install same app, one will have drain and the other doesn't. For example I have FB installed on my N7 2013 and its fine (at least it doesn't pop up in the usage chart if I don't use it).

Using memory doesn't = using battery,
With those settings the device should idle perfectly. Assuming the rest of your set up is well behaved of course.
While your device is up and running the process will run time to time but it shouldn't cause any noticeable battery drain.
Don't get me wrong I can go on and on about all the stupid things that app does but set it up that way and you should not suffer any battery issues / drainage.
Once the MBA and CEO Class got their hands on Facebook it was Game Over .....
Most MBA's and CEO's aren't well enough educated to run a technically/scientifically based operation .... Look what happened to Gateway, Yahoo, Dell and almost happened to Apple in the 90's before they brought the Brains back ....
Google is one of the few that haven't went that route which is why they are leading the pack on most things. .... As long as the Brains of Google keep majority share and thus control of Googler I'll stay invested but as soon as the MBA and CEO Class takes ovber (hopefully never) I'll dump all my Google stock just like I did with Yahoo in early 2000 .....
Just look at the Damage the MBA and CEO Class did in the late 90's (The wrongly named Dot Com Bust) and in 2008 ..... Mainly because they are too poorly educated to work the technology and their insane belief in disproven Economic Theories like Supply Side that falls completely to pieces in the Tech World ....

I haven't had any need yet on my Nexus 7, but I found Gemini App Manager to be a godsend on my Virgin Mobile phone. I can disable all the Intents that apps believe they ought to wake for and just allow them to respond to me actually running them. Much better battery life and more responsive phone without memory cluttered by all the bloatware that believes it needs to run all the time.

Check the carrierIQ thread in general. Forget where the detailed play services one is, but if you use TB to uninstall the system play services and then reinstall it from the play store you get less wakelocks.
I installed CleanROM 1.1 on Sunday. Battery life on Monday was excellent. Monday evening I went ahead and disabled CarrierIQ because of the excessive wakelocks (but it didn't really kill my battery). What I don't understand is that BBS is reporting that my phone was in deep sleep when I wasn't listening to music through my headphones or bluetooth. So I don't really know what to make of it, because it was sitting in my pocket for most of the day at work.
Normally I'd still be at like 85% at least. I was hoping someone could shed some light because BBS is not reporting any excessive wakelocks that could drop my battery almost 50% in a 10 hour period with only a little over 10 minutes on screen time and an hour of music playback.
Android status can also shed light on run away processed. Outs in the play store.

Haha, even your "bad" battery day is still pretty good compared to me. I kind of think anything over 10 hours is good.
Right now I'm at 86%, that's 5:51 up, 4:03 deep sleep, 1:48 awake, 0:45 screen on. Which, yes, means my phone has spent over an hour awake without the screen on? Very sad.
One odd thing I notice is that it says I spent 42 minutes with No Data or Unknown Signal. I wonder if that's part of it being Awake? it kept searching?
Other than that I've got 11 minutes of NlpCollectorWakeLock for that 5:51 up.
I'm not complaining, those are still very good numbers. But I feel like lowering that off-screen awake time could take it from very good to great.
Turn off Google Now, toggle Sync off when you don't need it, disable data in areas where you're certain you won't get a signal.

Yeah, you know what I never really thought about it like that. Though I *do* kind of have fun looking at my location dashboard in Google and seeing where I've gone and other metrics.
But you're right, its a huge hog (I'd say I get an extra 5-8 hours without it) and it isn't adding *that* much value.
I Greenify Facebook Beta and Twitter. And for some reason Google Keep keeps getting stuck in a sync loop, so I Greenify that too.
Think I'll clear data on GNow and see if I really notice the loss.

CarrierIQ! You probably have it enabled. Given that your screenshots say AT&T, this is most likely the culprit. Disable it and your battery issues should go away.

I don't have that issue. My Google Play Services only takes up 2% of my battery. But its a known issue that if you have an AT&T phone, chances are you accepted everything when you first setup the phone and opted into CarrierIQ.
For the OP, his screenshots don't see Google Play Services as a battery drainer. I am pretty sure it is CarrierIQ draining his battery especially if he has GPS enabled all the time.
Battery usage was included in screenshots.
Carrier IQ uses that much battery? User has to opt in to it?
Guess an FDR is in order to opt out this time. Save you stuff to your PC or cloud first.

User opts in when they have a pop up window asking if they can collect locations statistics and send it back to Google or whatever for assisting in resolving issues. I don't have AT&T so I don't have the exact popup handy. I just know that Tmobile has an setting in Options to disable CarrierIQ.
I don't have GPS on ever. And I can't find carrierIQ anywhere. I'm not familiar with it.

Wouldnt that be a wakelock issue? look his cell standby takes up the most of his battery... check out GASM battery so you can know what to disable to save battery
Google Play Services has been killing me over the past few days and there have been a LOT of reports of others having the same issue across multiple devices. Today Google Play Services has taken up 37% with 14 hours of wakelock. Absolutely ridiculous.
No one has been able to figure out why.
I have an ATT D800 and just started experiencing this in the last few days. I already had disabled CIQ (checker says it exists but is disabled).
It may be the google play services issue and I just finished disabling those and charging to 100%. We shall see.
I took these things off, and got great batterylife after that:good: It should help for google play services battery drain..but report back if it works or not.

I think there's an issue with WiFi on the D800. If I leave my setup the same as when on LTE, but turn on WiFi instead, I get a nice steady battery drain. I have compared BBS stats to when I'm on LTE and I don't see anything different. No wakelock keeping the phone on. Deep sleep is similar, etc.
Found the culprit. Battle Dragons, a game, was keeping the phone awake. Better battery stats showed it was never letting the phone sleep. Getting normal life now that I've uninstalled BD. No clue why it was waking it though, I stopped the app.
