My phone standby drainage is almost %10 hours. When I checked the memory section it seems like most of my apps are always running. I have tried force stop, uninstalling apps, factory reset, battery pull, but non of them didn't fix my issue.
Anybody knows solution for this problem?

Hi Guys,
I upgraded my Exynos Note 3 to Kitkat about 1 month ago, and everything was fine till about 3 days ago when I started experiencing some really bad battery drain. For the last three nights, my phone does not go into deep sleep mode at all. I first noticed this because I usually switch off data and wifi at night. Normally, I'd loose 3% battery overnight, which is good. About two nights ago, I woke up in the morning and I had lost 40% battery (90% down to 50%) overnight! When I checked out the battery stats, "gpsd" had used 80% of the battery.
Since we no longer have batterystats access in Kitkat, I installed the desktop version of WakeLock Detector, enabled USB debugging mode and connected my phone. Phone had basically been awake 97% of the time. Under kernel wakelocks, "l2_hsic" was shown as being the culprit. Now I have searched through various forums online (including xda) to try and find a solution to this. Suggestions vary from home screen replacements (nova launcher) to mobile tracking software (cerberus/findmymobile etc) to generally anything that uses location services. Some even suggest clearing application caches, disabling location services etc. I have tried every suggestion with no change. I uninstalled all mobile tracking apps, turned off location reporting, location history, and eventually location services. I've removed all battery stats apps. I uninstalled all my apps and re-installed them one by one, all with no change. Finally, I backed up my phone and did a factory reset. That seemed to work at first, but after about 3 minutes, "gpsd" was back again, and my phone would not go into deep sleep.
I've done 3 factory resets, and with no google account or samsung account configured, I still get "gpsd" rearing it's ugly head, preventing the phone from going to deep sleep and draining my battery. I'm at wits end.
Anyone know how to fix this? Would appreciate any help!
Anyone!?
OK, so I decided to take out my SIM card, just to see it'd make a difference, and what do you know! "gpsd" no longer takes up CPU time! So this is somehow related to my SIM card? Funny though, coz I'd even tried putting the phone in Airplane mode, but "gpsd" was still taking up CPU time. Does that give anyone an idea as to how this can be fixed?

I'm having exact same issue with my exynos Galaxy S5, shame Samsung.
For the record, my issue fixed itself. Didn't do anything at all. It just went away and never recurred. I'm on the Russian lollipop ROM now, loving it!
Almost a year after the issue fixed "itself"... I have the same problem with my SM-N900 running offical lollipop, Im afraid I cannot wait a year to let the issue fixes itself... and cannot find a solution either.
Anyone that have managed to solve this?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
I recently bought a used T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S5. It came running lollipop. The battery has been awful. I lose around 50% a day without using it at all. I frequently pull my phone out of my pocket during the day, and it will be hot and the screen will be on. When it is in airplane mode the battery life is normal, and there are no problems. I have tried resetting it, clearing the cache, greenify, and multiple battery saving apps. Nothing helps. Any suggestions?
Install a battery monitoring app, see what's causing it
Most likely due to certain apps you have installed that are draining your battery (maybe try rebooting into safe mode and see if the issues persist) Then use BetterBatteryStats or something similar and see which apps are causing it
Better Battery Stats shows Doze-Wakelock as my worst offender of Kernel wakelocks at 75% with the next offender, power manager service at a measly 13%. I have reset, reflashed, uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, yet the wakelock persists and I can not find anything about it on any thread. I currently use greenify, power nap, amplify, and force doze on Stang5.0litre rom. However I have noticed the wakelock on Echoe and stock rom. It persists with Force Doze off (I don't use Greenify's Aggresive doze.) If anyone has any info on this wakelock, please inform me.

I'm also on the Stang rom and i just noticed it after gsam showed my phone being held awake for over an hour during 2 and a half hours of standby. Seemed to start when i turned on the AOD but i can't be sure.

Do you use any if the apps I mentioned above. Ive noticed the wakelock isnt as prominent if the phone is left stationary. So I feel as though it might be greenify or force doze trying to force doze, but android system noticing the motion and not letting it do so, creating a loop and constant conflict. But as I said i can not find anything about this on xda or Google.

Turned the aod off this morning. Definitely the culprit. However noticed 4 random reboots while the phone was inactive. The problem goes away when i turn aod back on. Currently investigating this new problem.
Freezing always on display in titanium Backup after disabling it fixed the random reboot issue. Currently enjoying no doze-wakelock in bbs with a great increase of deep sleep time.
The only one i use is greenify.
I seem to be losing between 8-10% overnight since clean flashing OPM1. Anyone else seeing this? I can't peg it on a particular app and accubattery reports anywhere from 0.8-1.2% loss with screen off. If I just tap the power button to see accubattery stats, the current drain without going into anything ranges from 54mah to sometimes as high as 150mah. I may try a factory reset to resolve but curious to what others numbers are.
I'm using latest stock 8.1 and find it has the best standby I've ever seen. Either your battery is over year or two and starting to degrade. Or you need to do some spring cleaning when was the last time you backed everything up and wiped internal. You'd be amazed the wonders that does with rogue apps and missfunctioning features after completing wiping and installing fresh copy of stock.

Just bought a new OEM battery that is reporting 101% capacity so that's not it. Also, clean flashed 8.1 when I loaded it although I restored from my cloud backup. I just factory reset today but honestly, I felt it was worse so I completely blew everything out again, redownloaded 8.1 and flashed again. This time I chose to set up as a new device without using the cloud backup. The only thing I manually backed up and restored was text using a 3rd party app. I am adding my apps back a few at a time but it seems to be a little better as of now but will have to give it a couple days to settle down. Not rooted yet either.
Some are reporting that "mobile data always active" is enabled by default in developer options on 8.1. Have you tried disabling this?
To compare this with op, I got 84% battery health and a drain over night of 4%. Stock 8.1, Nova launcher beta, SuperSU beta, mobile data always active is off. May an app is responsible for your 10% draining ? Any social stuff like fb ???
I turned off mobile data always active and when I clean flashed the second time, I did not put any social media apps on the phone but saw no difference. I ended up putting fb, messenger lite and Instagram back on and they aren't impacting negatively. It's only been 2 days and have only rebooted a couple times.. battery is still reporting 101% capacity. I'll give it a another day or 2 to settle down bc at some points it seems to be very efficient while others it doesn't but that's better than before the 2nd clean flash.
Looking at my accubattery stats, I'm still losing about 1.1% battery per hour with the screen off. I also noticed that so far in the ~7 hours my phone has been off the charger today, it's only been in deep sleep about 51% of the time that the screen has been off. What happened to the built in wakelock detector that was highlighted in https://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-8.1-Oreo-wakelocks-battery-draining-apps_id99715? Does anyone see this actually working or is this yet another "Pixel exclusive". I cannot figure this out so I guess I'll have to download a 3rd party wakelock detector but the reality is, even if I do find the culprit, it's usually not anything that is easily identifiable or fixable. Am I really the only one having this issue??
Hey everyone. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with this. I've tried searching for this issue but can't find a solution.
Basically over the weekend, I noticed my phone has been running hotter than usual and battery is draining within 3 hours. It gets hot to a point where the phone automatically shuts down. The phone can be just sitting on my desk with the screen off, idle and it's hot with battery draining.
On battery usage graph, it constantly shows that chrome is using 33% of the battery in the last 24 hours. I disabled chrome but the problem still persists. I went into developer mode and cross checked all the system processes and saw nothing unusual. I booted into safe mode as well but the problem is still there. I checked CPU-Z and I see that the processor is never below 50% while the phone is idling. I'm not sure what's using the processor this much that the phone is running hot.
I've uninstalled most apps, I've even turned off the cellular network and wifi but the problem is still there.
I don't see any physical defect or any bulging on the back of the phone or against the screen.
I'm about to factory reset this phone to see if this fixes it, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions before I do that.
Thank you!
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if this helps. Any cloud app is suspect.
Disable Google Firebase. Clearing data in Google system apps may get it.
Is Global power management disabled? Do so if not. Disable any adaptive battery etc services.
Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.
I would try to find the root cause rather than do a factory reset as it is likely to reoccur. Exceptions; malware, firmware upgrade/update, a 3rd party app that change hidden users settings (if rooted you have access to these... if you can find the altered one). You need to play with it and try to track it down. Get the tools you need to find it ie detailed app/services power usage.
Be careful though as you are burning up the battery. Power off the display once battery temp reaches 103F. Cool it down then proceed again.
Using a damp microfiber cloth will help to cool it.
Any resent upgrades or updates?
Any app recently installed or uninstalled?
What apps are using a lot of internet bandwidth?
Is it using excessive current with screen off too?
What's running at startup?
