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.

Interesting... I do that have on, but I would think it be done downloading now. I have my Note 4 for ~ 3 days now and I have a fairly fast internet connection.
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.

Same for me. Maps app takes all the battery.
Maybe you guys try disabling the Location services (a checkbox enables by default during setup after FW upgrade), and that couses drain? No idea how to disable it, though
thats easy mate
go to google in your stock browser and below the search box u'll see an option as to whether u want share your location. u can disable there!!
do you use Latitude?
Do you have any idea about "Android OS" usage because it looks too much?

You should not have Google maps taking any power if you're not using it. I do not see in my list if I have not open it since unplugged.
Battery level can behave in a strange way for a few days. Mine dropped to 70% after being plugged and charged to 100%.
Next day it dropped from 100% to 90% and the began climbing to 94% for 30 minutes.
Usually main battery hog is the screen, you should not have those drainage with the screen off.

Exactly. The screen was off. I flashed rom, restarted, charged to full battery, slept, woke up, checked my phone and this is what i got. U can see display has consumed hardly any battery. (no wonder it was off all the time)

This is also a question? Why is that so high too?? Even if maps would not have consumed any battery, gingerbread alone would have emptied it in under 24 hrs with no use at all. (display off)

Flashed from I9000XWJS8 with bootloader, re-partition and pit512.
I got a similar problem with Android OS eating all my battery.
It was only after I plugged my phone off and pressed the power button so that the display turns off. From that point on Android OS consumed battery.
Restarted, cleared dalvik cache, now no problems anymore.

This might be the problem, I have seen that sometimes the system will not go to standby state although the displey is off and the reason was Latitude (this might also explain high usage by system and maps).
Too bad that Spare parts are not working on Gingerbread, there you could see what app is causing the system not to go to sleep.
So I think that some app is causing the system to be awake, and my gues is Latitude.
To be honest, since I don't use "maps" or "latitude", I only have Android OS eating up my battery. Bloody 75% in the span of 7 hours with a hint of WIFI and texting.
Going to try the "wipe Divik Cache" idea posted by h4m74o.
Just an update, I believe the dalvik cache idea is working. Screenshot shows my last hour of usage stabilizes instead of the decline I was experiencing. I will post back tomorrow for a reconfirmation.
I had the same problem with maps on CM7, never found out what caused it so i just uninstalled it
Battery is pretty good acutally, but i also have the strange Google Maps drainage (31% of consumption: 5.5hours stay awake and 50min CPU). I did just receive an update for Google Maps; Hopefully this fixed something, but that would be just luck .
But how do I wipe the Dalvik cache? And why would thit help?
Btw currently @27% and just under 40 hours. (1d15h)
I tried a few things.
1. Uninstalled the update to google maps.
2. FC google maps.
9% battery drain in over 11 hrs. i.e les than 1% per hour. But this is with no use at all.
The problem is, WHY is Maps still the major consumer of battery???
Can't I remove maps completely?
If you use modified kernel, try to flash JVK stock kernel, fully charge and see if any improvement. This gave back to me normal battery life.
On stock rom I noticed that I have some wakelocks when device doesn´t go to sleep for hours. I wake lock detector I can ´t see any app (including system) that has more than one minute wake time but overall wake could be 3 hours.
So it ´s not app, it´s not system app, I also changed kernel, reboot phone many times and drain is still here.
once its awakened. it stays awake like 10 seconds. you can check how many times.
also you can check betterbatterystats. I like it better as it distinguishes kernel and partial wakelocks

I prefer BBS for the finer details. You sir, have a rouge app or service.
Tried to freeze all new apps but still there is waking. Waking detector and gsam aren t showing any rogue app.
I suppose that Held wake time shouldn t be longer than screen time, or?
I would be over the moon to have battery life like that, 1h20 screen on time in 10 hours and still at 79%. I get nowhere near that...
You should check the "App usage" section to see what app or service is displaying high cpu usage and look at the details for that app or service to identify the wakelock.
I suspect the issue is network related. But I may be wrong...
I'd back stuff up and whack the phone with a factory reset. But that's just me, I'm a bit psycho like that

The main problem here is that in 10+ hours on battery, the phone is awake for over 6 hours. I don't think that's normal.
I did many clean installs and factory resets but there is something more. On PA kitkat rom I don t have wakelocks like this even with same apps.

try to go to a flex rom. if you like stock then that's close to stock but i havent seen any unwanted wake locks on the couple i have tried. i have a d800 with aeonflex and furnace kernel. when the screen turns off it literally uses no battery.
Same on flex. In fact flex rom was first rom which brought me to constant rom changing, reseting and testing where is problem. I am really desperate. Last thing which i can try is flashing maybe 10c or 10 a

Well, we don't know what was running behind, but with basic logical thinking 6hrs awake on 10+ hrs overall, we do expect ton of battery drop, right?
Here's my case, from 100%, fully charge, 2 minutes on call, 8 minutes screen-on time, what do you expect to see my battery level after 8 hours with 1% wake (meaning 99% sleep)? Ans: 51%. So how could it be 49% drop when only 1% wake? BBS, WLD found NOTHING.
What did I do next? Reboot the phone and I got 10x better on battery. Weird, indeed.
Maybe this will be helpful?

@kapybarus go to dialer, type 3845#*802#, go to Settings, Fast dormancy mode and disable it. While you're there, go to MLT test and disable that too. Reboot the phone and see if you'll have more wakelocks by system/radio like that.
Most likely you have fast dormancy enabled while your network does not support it.

Thanks, for now wakelocks are gone, hope it will persist. It is possible that these wakelocks starts when I changed provider few weeks ago.
I read that disabling fast dormacy is not good for battery (when provider supports fast dormacy) so should I switch to my previous provider if there were no problem?
If your provider does not support fast dormancy, it's better to disable it on the phone. If it does support it, it's better to turn it on. Fast dormancy itself is an efficient system, but if it's not available on your network, your phone will generate wakelocks trying to work with fast dormancy states and receiving no response.
Let us know if the situation changes
yeah try betterbatterystats, look into kernel and partial wakelocks

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:

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
So I unplugged the phone in the middle of the night with 100% charge and woke up with 75% battery the phone is Stock can anyone tell me what is draining my battery.

Wifi and gps?!
When you sleep turn off everything. Me just drop like 3%
I had WiFi set to always on, just put it back to always on only for the charger, and GPS on high accuracy to battery savings.

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.

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.
