You find in settings, Powersave options, has a toggle to put it on and off

Thanks! Why the heck is it there!!??

Took me a little bit to find it the first time as well. I guess they put it there because that menu deals with the battery. I initially looked through the Display menu to try to find it.

Some app or service is draining your battery. Get BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down.

Like someone said before it's a rogue app and the only way your going to get the battery drain issue to go away is to figure out which app is doing it and then get rid of it.

I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...

Install the free app "wakelock detector" and disable or remove any app that is waking the phone up or using too much cpu power.

I removed all bloatware from the phone, used Greenify to hibernate misbehaving apps, Better Battery Stats to find wakelocks and what not, and the usual: lower brightness when you can, disable any gestures or smart features you dont use. Turn off wifi, Bluetooth, and Location when possible. I also underclock my phone to 1.6hz for most of the day.
I get around 24 to 48 hours depending on usage, and around 5-6 hours screen on time.
how to underclock

delete new skype app (old version doesn't wake up the phone)
delete facebook and instead use a browser bookmark... the app is always running in background.
delete ALL samsung related **** and other stuff you don't need.
my problem was wlan_rx_wake which was solved by buying a new router.
i had a fritzbox for 130 euros which seemed to flood my network with some data.... only android phones woke up because of this.
bought a new router for 18 euros... problem solved.
****in piece of **** :silly:
LoL and also Log Out from instagtam when not using!!!!!!! wastes most of the Battry also delete apps you dont use and dont use a live wallpaper!

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?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
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

Cache Update Service not letting phone deep sleep

It is a Google service and I have disabled location services and Google Now. Does not seem to make a difference. I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. I have the phone set up basically the same apps as my N4 and my Nexus is crushing my G2 in battery life. Any ideas would be great on what is causing this.

Are u talking about google service that you see when you go into battery usage options? If yes, im in the same boat as you.
What percentage of battery doew the google service use?
I would like to know how to take care if this problem as well

I am using better battery stats and it is partial wake lock I guess I did not bother looking at the overall usage. I am trying a few more things and will report back later.

add me to the list of people this is driving nutzo.
Question, when you go to google sync under settings/accounts and sync, does it show that 'sync is not available at this time?'
I wonder if that could be causing it?
I am waiting for my case to make it my daily driver but last night I tinkered and went and set up all my Google apps and changed my Google plus photo to only upload on charger. When I turned it off it was deep sleeping and and that wake lock was no where to be found. If anyone wants to try this and see if it helps.

(Fixed)Battery saver not sticking

I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer to my problem. When you go into battery under settings if you click on battery saver it says on. But if you press the refresh icon or exit and go back it will show its off. So I figure I make a post for anyone else who may be having the same issue. Obviously most folks on xda like to keep their phones free from bloat. In the process you might have disabled moto assist. Battery saver needs moto assist to function. So if you enable moto assist accept an update from the app store battery saver will work fine. It will also auto activate when reaching 15% battery life.
