Especially the final part last night, basically the phone drained 30% charge in maybe 8 hours, being locked and untouched (Wifi off, on 4G).
What strikes me is the massive amount of "Mobile Data Interface active" by the Gmail app of almost 4 hours.
There is 3 email accounts configured, 15 minute sync interval (default), attachments not being downloaded on mobile. The mails was just maybe 15, everyday spam and newsletters, tiny kb-heavy stuff, nothing with massive attachments.
BetterBatteryStats does not have Gmail as doing particularly many Wakelocks, 0.1% basically.
Past nights i had losses of 5-10% over 8 hours which is why this is so odd. Running the 5.1 dual sim stock rom and the r11e squid kernel.

@AtomicStryker
I'm quite strict with my settings to avoid excessive data usage:
1. limit background data for gmail or other apps/services that use too much of it (option is below the data usage graph)
2. set manual sync to gmail accounts preferencies
3. use a third party solution to block data over 3g/wifi to any app (Netguard is great for this!
Hope it helps

Battery app?

last night i had about 65% battery at 1:30am and when i woke up at 10:30am i found my phone dead. i have taskiller full so i am sure my phone wasnt running any apps since i have it set to clear on screen off. anyone know apps to see whats eating my battery or say what your battery app does?
Killing apps often has the opposite effect that you intended. Sometimes because you killed an app, it will get stuck or crash and hold the phone in wakelock mode, meaning it will never sleep. This will drain the battery very fast.
Apps often restart automatically as well, so it's wasting battery to have them be killed and restarting all the time. Having it set to kill all apps on screen off is just about the absolute worst thing you can possibly do.
With the Nexus One, you don't need to kill your apps. Let Android handle it.

[Edit]:
For an app to see battery usage, you can use Android's built-in battery usage monitor. I'm not sure if you're aware of it.

GT-I9505 Battery Drain issue

I've been playing with GT-I9505 for few days, and I feel like my Galaxy S4 has serious battery drain issue.
Its idle time is okay. I always turn on GPS to be able to use any location services like GPS tagging on photos or Google Now. I use auto brightness to reduce any battery drain.
The problem happens when I use internet. Whenever I use any internet services like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Chrome, etc, the battery goes down about 5% while holding and using internet for 5 to 15 minutes. I just felt this is wrong.
Another weird part is Google Maps. I never used Maps app today, but it sucks about 30% of battery. I assume it's because of Google Now's location services, but I still don't understand how Google Maps and Google Now is connected when I used GPS only few times during a day.
Anyone experiencing similar drain issue? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My bro is uses this cell so can't tell much abt usage .
Managed to get slightly over 7 hours before the phone shut off.
GPS: Power saving mode
Screen: Brightness set to indoor conditions (manual)
ROM: Default
Battery Saving Mode: Disabled
WiFi and Sync: Always enabled
Screen Time Out: 2 minutes after inactivity
Usage: Mainly Facebook, Chrome, WhatsApp, few YouTube vids and Google Docs. Nothing intensive.
Phone charged from 0-100% in under 2 hours without the OS running. I used Anker Power IQ 40W 5-port desktop charger and Moto's USB cable. Back of the phone remained cool throughout
If you have any questions, feel free to ask :good:.

[Q]Help me with wakelock...

I have an n910c, currently in stock lollipop bob4 firmware but with ultimate kernel v19 custom kernel and i'm having problem with tons of wakelock..
Installed betterbatterystats and noticed that there are standard amount of partial wakelock from social media apps and sometimes google play services ( i'm in china so google play is blocked and sometimes it tries to sync and causing wakelock) which is understandable and taken care of by greenify..
But there are tons of kernel wakelock according to betterbatterystats.. as you can see from the attachment below.. it is still persist even after i changed into custom kernel. Can somebody explain what is causing these kernel wakelocks? Thanks
Note: overall battery life is okay really with 4,5 - 5 hours of sot with poor lte signal most of the time and using vpn software which is as i discovered, uses lots of battery.. but i'm feeling that standby time is rather poor with tons of wakelocks.. and hoping with these wakelocks removed i can get 6-7 sot..

Device can't go into deep sleep

Hello guys, I've got the device since day 1, and all these 4 months had excellent battery life with 6-7 hours SOT.
Out of nowhere last month can't get more than 3 hours of SOT and this is a huge issue because it doesn't last the whole day.
Previous week the service changed my battery.
Nothing happened.
I have wiped the cache from recovery. I had formatted the device and set it up from the scratch without any backup. I had disabled the social media. Nothing helped.
Last night installed CPU Spy and saw the for 13 minutes the device was working on full speed, and can't go into deep sleep with the most hours working on the lowest cpu state.
I have to mention that the device was on Samsung's wireless charger and the wifi on so I can check instantly all the notifications on the morning that I wake up.
Any clue what is causing that? How I can check which application doesn't let the device to go into deep sleep?View attachment 4802749
