So, I'm seeing a lot of battery drain from voice calls, WiFi on and deep sleep. I've been trying to change some setting to help reduce this, but I don't want to cause issues. Can someone let me know if the following will help or cause issues.
I've set tasked to turn off data when any phone call is in process, because I don't multitask and use data durning calls. I have also set tasker to turn off data when connected to WiFi, although this may not be needed. I was considering turning off WiFi during sleep, but this may cause more battery consumption due to data and searching for signal. Also, what can I do to reduce power consumption during deep sleep.

When your phone is in deep sleep, your phone's battery level stays flat. Simply, this means no power is being consumed. Another way of putting it is that deep sleep DOES NOT drain battery power (maybe just a bit after hours and hours in standby mode).
According to those stats, it doesn't seem like anything is out of place. The phone was on for 5hrs and 37mins, it was awake (assuming you were using the phone during that time) for 2hrs 13mins. It was on deep sleep for 3 hrs and 23mins. Wifi was on for nearly 5hrs.
The best advice I can give you is root your device, install twrp and flash a custom kernel. (If you haven't already.)
OK, I've just started using better battery stats so maybe I'm not understanding the info correctly I thought from the pic above that a majority of battery consumption was from WiFi and deep sleep, but when I look at the battery stats in settings that's not the case.
Ok, if I look at the updated info below it seems that my battery consumption is mainly the screen on time. Right now my screen is set to auto brightness. Does this seem like an appropriate consumption?

Oh and I've been running a custom ROM and kernel since my 1st day owning this phone.
Currently on 4.4 Purity ROM, semaphore 1.8.0 kernel. With davlik optimization.

-5%/h battery consumption. Totally ok.

I have heard that google services drain battery fast, so have you tried to set the location to either "battery saving" or "device only" mode in Location? In addition, if you do not use Google+, try to either uninstall or disable it. After you have done those steps, go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot phone.

Yep. Kill the Google services if not needed. Futhermore deactivate every HW device which is also not needed at the specific moment (GPS, BT, ...) ... the Battery Stats Plus will give you even more hints.
Hi.
Running stock Marshmallow, with root and used wakelock detector and battery monitor to find that when not in airplane mode, three kernel wake locks (see screen shots) as far as I can tell, seem to be causing my phone to stay awake all the time and hence use battery.
I also use Greenify BTW.
How do I remedy this?
Thanks

I had the same issue. I found out that it was because I had blocked a Bluetooth wake service and it freaked the phone out keeping it awake. I would suggest enabling each service you disabled one by one going through them to find out which one is causing your issue. Or you can uninstall greenify and any other apps that disable services like amplify and servicely. I found that my battery life had gotten better after doing so.
Hi, I have a battery drain. Over night the phone idle consumes battery. I don't know what is causing that.
Can someone help me? Thanks

Bro,
First of all turn your internet connection for proper kick of DOZE mode and use better battery stats app for checking which app is triggering wakelock
Wifi, data and GPS are off. I search if any app is causing any wakelock but I didn't find one.
I had been trying to diagnose a periodic battery drain on my phone and finally narrowed it down. I've discovered an issue where the phone will enter a permanent wakelock situation once Hotspot has been used and then turned off. The only way I've been able to get rid of the wakelock short of a reboot is to enter Airplane mode and then turn it back off. Anyone else run into this or can confirm the same?
Attached screenshot showing the wakelock and the small gap where I had Airplane moded it away. Note that Hotspot was only on the first hour or so of that huge awake time.
There is a big battery drain on standby even with WiFi, bluetooth, mobile data switched off. Waking up in the morning with over 20% drop.
Seems like there is a lot of wakelocks happening in the background. I've just done the factory reset. Can anyone help me out here ?
