Measuring battery usage and wakelocks? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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'

Google services and battery.

First of all, Google maps won't let stamina mode work. And secondly Google services are wreaking havoc on my battery.

You might have to do a factory reset something might be trying to snyc and is keeping your phone awake. This will affect Stamina mode.
Maps however, will wake your phone up periodically, this isn't actually stopping Stamina mode, its is just as if Maps is on your list of permited apps even though you haven't put it there. If you solve the first problem you won't notice the second.
Alright. I'll monitor it for a while and see what happens. If it persists, I'll reset. Thanks.

Grab the snapdragon batteryguru app on play store
its similar to stamina, but a bit more control and info.
Doesn't seem to conflict so far after 2 day's testing

Imo, all google apps do is spy on you and keep data connection alive (& drain battery & consume data by sending /receiving). I just freeze them & uninstall then after rooting. No detrimental effects on the os, and battery/data is conserved=>profit.
Switch off and on!

you say doesn't conflict, are you saying you have both stamina and battery guru switched on?
When I have google play music running, I get a notification that it is stopping stamina mode from running, anybody else getting this?

Play Music stops Phone from Sleeping. Basically stamina Mode is for when you're not using your phone, including playing Music.

Running both stamina and batteryguru together, then each individually, then none over the next few days to see if any make any difference.

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.

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...

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.

Facebook draining battery

Hi all
Facebook on my HTC One m9 plus draining battery
I don't even have the official Facebook application installed because it ALWAYS does this. Consider using Tinfoil For Facebook, more secure and doesn't eat resources.

I have used App Quarentine managing Oficial FB App. You can create a widget with the FB apperance but with a lock that can be green (if open) or not (if desable or frozen). You can enable (defrost), open and disable with this widget. I preferred it than Grenify in this case, to prevent FB wake up and drain my battery. Root is required.
