Just got the update to nougat earlier this week and was hoping it would solve the high android system drain but i've noticed all these wake locks and honestly i'm not familiar with wake locks so if anyone can help me out here. My phone wont go into deep sleep.
Looks to be a kernal problem. Anyone have any idea?

Oh I've already tried that. I also cleared my cache from recovery and from the settings
For battery drain there are few known culprits
1. Disable chrome
2. Disable Gear vr service if you don't use.
3. Disable all other bloatware
4. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning
5. Disable Android and Google (both) report diagnostic report from setting
6. Location to battery saving or off.
7. Smart features off.
I'm sure excess drain will go irrespective of what wld shows.

Have the chrome that came pre-loaded disabled but I use chrome dev. Disabled gear vr. I kept other bloat enabled that's under the hood, heard if you disable some of that stuff it could cause a bigger drain. Diagnostic report is off, location is on battery saving, I use smart stay and smart alert, have smart capture off.

Yes only disable stuff that you can from app drawer.
Is Google location reporting on or off that is also a big drainer.

Yes. I know it's pain in the ass to set everything up again but it is a major change, from one iteration to another of the system and common sense screams factory reset .

I couldn't find a solution anywhere that was causing the battery drain for "MediaServer". The two process were "AudioOut_2" and DirectTrack. I don't have viber installed. What are these processes in the "MediaServer" and what purpose do they serve?
UPDATE: I found out that the process using those services is called "1013". How do i figure out what application is it?

To reduce or eliminate the audio out, turn off all key tones and vibration. Don't know what direct track is.

Thanks Christ for create this thread as I am about to post the same question.
It has happened in the last couple days. I wouldn't say 100% but surely 98% every time I turn the screen on, there is "searching for GPS" pops up.
It keeps running for from a few seconds to minute then turns back off.
Yes, I DID set to disable GPS.
Does anyway we can figure out which app is actually searching for GPS, gurus?

I don't set any notification ON and FB isn't running at all.
I suspect the G+ but don't know for sure.
Weather widget is not a culprit.
For me, it was Carrier IQ. Once I disabled that, my random GPS wakes stopped.

Sounds reasonable but I do have CIQ enable from day one w/o any issue.
It just happens in the last couple of days. Maybe 2014 isn't the year for me?
Maybe GSam Battery Monitor can help pinpoint which app is causing the GPS wakes. Or Wakelock Detector.
I also have been noticing the location icon popping up on my status bar every now and then. I cant find what app is triggering it. I dont see cIQ in my application manager to disable it...
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
Running Applications > Android System > IQ Agent Service. Hit stop there and then hit stop for Android System. You'll have to do that at each boot unless you're rooted. If you're rooted, you can use System Tuner.
Here's my shots.
This is probably directly related to the issue or NOT.
Clearly, Location Manager Service goes crazy.
What it is is yet to figure out.
At one point, I saw Google Messaging Service kicked on so I turned off Hangouts SMS feature and along with a reboot, my battery is now better but the "searching for GPS " still pops up.
Is location services turned off also in Google Settings and Maps?

Those photos... completely baffling. Wow. My guess would be all the recommendations above and going through all apps requiring location and disabling it.
Could try Greenify. I use it. It hibernates apps so they won't run until you tell them to
so I thought I would try and disable google.app battery life is much better seems the no 1 battery draining issue on the edge try it now you will find it in a folder select more from menu then disable it.

Well I for one don't use Google now anyway, I don't use Google plus either, or Google Drive, so there's no need to have those process running no matter what.
I tried to disable Google now and bam my battery consumption overnight dropped from 15% to 3-4% and the phone would actually enter deep sleep - something I've had trouble with the entire time (I'm using a custom kernel with the deep sleep fix, so it shouldn't be because I'm rootet)

there's no need to disable the google.app to prevent the battery drain, it's sufficient to open the settings menu of that app and deactivate the google now cards..

Another tip I found that worked drain your battery to about 8 % then do a hard reset by powering down and hold volume up and home button and power button together once you see the logo let go of power.This bring you into recovery eventually once there wipe data factory reset and catch partition and reboot phone.Now disable the apps you want including google.app I now got 20hrs standby with 0% battery drain was still showing 100% battery awesome battery life try it and let me know how it goes don't forget to give it a full charge after resetting the phone good luck

Ok, but the goal here is prevent the battery.. And the suggestion to disable the google app it's for that.. But if there's a solution to leave the app activated in order to use it when it could be helpful, why instead you would disable it? It's a nonsense.. Google now is the cause of the battery drain, not the google search.. So it's sufficient to disable Google now and continue to enjoy the google search and the ok Google hotword..
I looked for smart settings on my Verizon unit and couldn't find it. Looks like Verizon removed it.
Here is how to get it back.
Download QuickShortcutmaker from the market
Open it and scroll down to smart settings.
Open the smart settings dropdown.
Now press the first smart settings drop down.
This will create a icon on your home screen.
That's it.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this suggestion. Most Smart Settings cannot be used without the My Places feature active, and that has apparently been disabled by Verizon as well. Any workaround suggestions?
Perhaps try Llama? It can be found in the Play Store
I would be very interested if one of the tmobile phone owners have an apk of my places, and could possibly post it.

No, unfortunately Verizon verified that they did indeed REMOVE My places functionality from their version, so no it will not auto-locate your home location after 5 days, either.
IMO, they are trying to force you to use more data. Most people turn their wifi off when they leave, and turn it back on when they come home - Smart setting will do just that. So, why would Big Red not want you to have it? Because when you have to do it manually, you'll forget to turn it back on when you get home... and when you do that, you'll use more data. my *theory*.

Or people will just leave WiFi on...because it doesn't use that much battery when not in use. This isn't a conspiracy to get people to use more data. Sounds like carriers have to pay for certain features on phones and Verizon didn't want to cash out for some less useful features. Plenty of other apps out there that can turn your WiFi on and off automatically.

Hmmm... most people I know turn it off, but to each his own. But when that is intentionally disabled along with FM radio, along with Google In Apps Search shortcut (by which you must do an internet search first before just searching for something on your phone...) - a pattern seems to be emerging... but let's give Big Red the benefit of the doubt, right? Let's forget about the lawsuit about them asking Blackberry to disable bluetooth so you couldn't transfer files, or the similar lawsuit about the same kind of thing with Motorola...
No... Nothing to see here... Move along, people, move along...
Any luck with this?

Hey guys, i have a small issue here with my apps.
Some of the apps like Tasker and Gravity Screen do not auto start on boot since i rooted my op5, i have selected them to run at boot.
My profiles on Tasker don't switch until i turn the screen on, even some of the apps like TB which i run on schedules during the night are not working.
Its like when my screen is off, all background activities stop, however WhatsApp and similar apps are working fine.
Could anyone pls guide me to a possible solution.
I know this is a strange request since mostly people ask how to stop the background activity, I'm asking the exact opposite.
Appreciate your help.

You don't need to turn off battery optimizations for those apps. Just simply turn off OnePlus's "Advanced optimisation" feature and it should work without turning off the battery optimizations for those apps.
You can do that by going to Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimisation -> Three dot menu (⋮) -> Advanced optimisation -> Turn off.
You can also pinned these apps in recent apps section.
