Hey Everyone,
I saw a post about what i'm having issues with a few weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it. Essentially this what my problem with my Galaxy 10.1 32gig (stock wallpaper) with the new touchwiz update from a few weeks ago is:
The gallery app is killing my battery life. I charge from a dead battery to full, turn on the tablet, and let it sit over night, i lose 40%+ of the battery and i check the battery usage and the majority of it is because of the Gallery App (note, i never "used" it, its just running in the background).
This is a new problem (like 3-4 weeks), before i would lose just a couple of percent overnight, but now its just ridiculous.
EDIT: From what i remember of the other post, someone had mentioned that the gallery app is constantly monitoring rotation so its draining the battery? not quite sure
Thoughts? (I'm pretty darn sure its not my wallpaper as i've never changed it and this is a new issue)
I'm thinking about rma'ing the thing, its just pretty much unusable because the battery is dead so soon.
I'll also point out that i tried the battery recalibration that was posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215182&page=1)
Thanks!

I only have high gallery battery usage after a fresh flash of the rom, on my tab as well as on my SGS2! this is because the gallery app indices your pictures, as well as creating thumbnails...
so if you have lots of pictutes this would be quite normal, but only for a few hours!
I had this or similar problem. Download Terminal Emulator and type "top -n 1", you will see a list of processes and how much processor they are using. For me the problem was media process, it used over 30% all the time. Killing it fixed the problem for some time. I installed a leaked firmware and the problem went away. But i think that factory data reset could also fix the problem.
Perhaps you have your Gallery app synced with your Picasa account.
If you do, and you have WiFi running while in standby mode, it will drain.
Mine used to drain in the background.
I installed a widget to turn off WiFi when I'm not using my tablet.
My battery life is so much better.
I also disabled the Picasa sync for my Gallery app as well.

Go to Settings/Applications and find Gallery apps and force close it. It should stay this way. Check it after a while.

This happens on phones too. Common solution is to uninstall Gallery3D, and install QuickPic from the market.
I've never been impressed with the image display quality of Gallery.

I suspect the OP may have an errant app that may be causing the problem.

Install Spare Parts from the Market (assuming the ROM you're using is providing stats). When the Gallery is sucking battery you'll see excessive sensor usage under 'Battery History'. Partial Wake Usage is another good place to look if you suspect an errant app.
My Android OS is showing a stay always time of over 17 hours (out of a 20 hour run time where my battery is completely depleted). Is there anyway I can find out what cause it?
I am already on 4.2.2

You're experiencing wakelocks. Might wanna do some research on the forum so that you can post logs for people to analyze what's really eating your battery.

THIS. I was having problems with wakelocks and traced them back to these few things below which got my battery life to greatly increase once disabled.
1) using dashclock extensions like FB and gmail
2) leaving google sync on in settings for the various google services
3) corporate email exchange servers
4) setting a long time variable for the phone to lock after the screen turns off (i did this to prevent putting in a pin to unlock but it kept the phone awake after the screen turned off)
5) live wall papers
There is also a known issue in the stock kernel that causes the phone to stay awake when it is supposed to go into sleep mode during extended periods of inactivity. This can be solved by using a custom kernel just as Franco r90 which has implemented patches in order to allow the phone to go into sleep to preserve battery. It is expected to be fixed in the next official OTA from google although this was also expected to be in 4.2.2 and was not fixed fully.
Same issue here. 4.2.2 stock kernel+rom, rooted
BBS shows "suspend_backoff" is at 45% no idea what's causing that.
Disabled pretty much all of the sync services but no improvement.
Interestingly right after the 4.2.2 update, the battery life was good.

I turn off my wifi when not home so I don't think that's the issue here.. I've tried removing a few apps like dash clock and my live wallpaper to see if it helps my issue. Will report back.

Google play services has something to do with the high usage. Yesterday I was near 20% usage today I disabled it and android os is at 7%. It only affects YouTube app for me, but the browser version is fine. I haven't seen any adverse affects other than maybe losing updates to the play store and ota updates which I don't care about because that's what xda and Roms are for. Now it may be placebo, but it also seems like the ui is smoother. Battery has improved greatly with sot of 3 hours with 57% left.
Hi,
how do you disable Google play services?
Try using the app greenify if your rooted.. It's been helping my battery life. Use it on maps and that will help. If maps is set as a system app, move it or just install banks minimal gapps so you can download from play store.

Hi guys,
Found that I had awful battery life today, using Galaxy Pack live wallpaper, and autobrightness (+5)
Is this due to the live wallpaper or why else would I get this problem?

That must be a really hard battery sucking wallpaper you got there mate. With only 2 h screen on I could last at least 2 days without charging.
Do you have s-voice on and wake up command? These were the only apps that consumed that much as I remember. Or did you run any battery consuming apps? It shouldn't be the wallpaper but you can still try yourself.
If you are on stock rom it could also be the KitKat update. I read a lot about it being pretty battery unfriendly.

Can you go one day without it and post your Battery stats? It's kinda hard to believe it is the wallpaper because:
1. Your screen was only on for 2-3 hours
2. The screen consumption is lower than Android OS and System
Does the wallpaper have any extra features?
Edit. Did you play or stay in the internet?

There are extra features, but I have turned these off.
Did use internet but not for long
I will try changing the wallpaper. Can't think what else it could be - my phone was warming up in my pocket, with nothing in recent apps. Also wouldn't a live wallpaper be included in OS and System rather than anywhere else?

It shouldn't be consuming when screen is off. Just checked mine:
4 hours on with screen consuming 47% and still 80% charged locked my phone consumes like 1% in 6 hours
(But I'm rooted and fully modded to your phones defense)
Edit. Unless you can say that it doesn't consume that much when not having the wallpaper I would guess it is a KitKat issue or your battery really has a problem
Final Question:
@ant2555 sorry I don't know since I was rooted since jelly bean I never had the chance to look into that. I just read a lot about it being a known 4.4.2 issue. The 4.4.3 update is said to get rid of that

Ok, I'll get back to you either tomorrow or the day after depending on results.
Final question for now, do you know what the common causes of "android system" using that much battery are?
I've been using that wallpaper for almost 4 months without a drain issue. It's not the wallpaper. (maxelus.net is one of the better wallpaper devs. You need not worry about these causing a drain.)
The wallpaper does have a setting for battery saving in its settings (all the way at the bottom as 'Battery. Wallpaper Speed'). Try turning that on.
From the looks of it, you have Sync turned on. Turn if off. (drag down the notidication bar and scroll to the Sync toggle.)
Also, turn off all location services (In settings and in Google Settings(that's an app)).
And try disabling all sounds under settings --> device --> Sounds --> system. (You can elave haptic feedback on if you want.)
Do you have an SD card in your phone?
I found that my Note 3 lasts longer without one. It might just be a problem with certain brands, but mine would heat up considerably and cause the indexing service to go into overdrive.
If you have an SD card, try running your phone without it for a little while and see if that makes a difference.
I discovered that after charging my phone a couple of times I get a false charge which can imitate battery drain, try this code *#0228# after hitting it click Quick Start, hope that helps, if not do a complete wipe for all apps and only download trusted ones. Good luck
Android is and kernel killing my battery. Don't know what has changed in last few days but I'm getting 5 to 8 hours on a full charge

Yeah, Sync was turned on and I'll try turning it, and location services off (location was on power saver mode before)
However take a look at some of my battery stats they seem very odd.

and the next they seem awful with odd draining issues, and heating up in my pocket during the day. One possible cause I thought of was because the phone was on "increased touch sensitivity mode" so may have been turning itself on in my pocket all day.

Ahh, Google Services. That annoying bugger again. It's been causing problems on several devices.
What you can try:
Google Settings > Ads > turn on "Opt out of interest-based ads"
Disable back up under Settings > Backup & reset > uncheck "Back up my data".
Turn off Google Now.
And you can try uninstalling the recent updates to Google Play Services under settings > Applicationmanager > All > Google Play Services. Force stop, clear data, clear cache and uninstall updates (be sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play Store first or it'll come back nearly instantly).
Nexus 6P users with GSam Battery Monitor and Root Companion, do you notice the one of the highest battery drainers is under "System (mediaserver) and when you click into it is shows "Audio On" for a very long time?
I did not play any music or anything with much sound except normal apps notification. I also tried uninstalling updates of Youtube/Google Music etc and cleared data and cache, and uninstalling a few possible apps such as apps relates to "sounds and music" and the "Audio On" time just keeps going.
Is it normal? If not, any solution or suggsetions? Some users suggested it's Ok Google always on. Thanks.

I have the same, but never managed to find out if it was normal or not. Audio on time was generally a bit more than the Screen on Time. OK Google was completely turned off.
I'm still to establish if it is a GSAM reporting issue, or a real problem.
Are you on the stock factory image but rooted? Is your OK Google set to always on, within the Google app, or never? I had the same problem when reverting back to stock, but switched to PureNexus and started using Amplify and Naptime and it has improved significantly. It does go up when I play music/podcasts though but that's normal I think.

I am on everything stock except rooted. My OK Google is always on but i tried to disable it and still see the "Audio On" time counting. But I do notice the Audio On time does not always count. I failed to find any sorts of co-relation of the time to any apps though. It feels so random. I have already tried uninstalling Music App, some apps with notification time and now disabling Google OK always on, but still the time counts on.
I am having the same issue since few days now.. The mediaserver (especially audio on) usage is really really high.
Do you guys use spotify by any chance? I didn't install it for a while and today after Spotify installation it's like drain time babe.

It looks like wechat draining bro, after receiving any notification from wechat or idleing it will cause it drain on audioon bugs.
If you force close wechat and recheck it stop at the value.
I've been having this issue too. I've been switching back and forth between Chroma and Pure Nexus and it hasn't changed. I always get at least 25% drain due to mediaserver audio on. It's driving me crazy :/

I have the same problem! I will give some stats: Ok Google always on, no local music only play music, no spotify, pocket casts, I tried to only scan with notification, 2 clean installs, my kernel often keeps the device awake.
Running Kylo on Ubermallow with Amplify. I think this drain is real, because when I did not have it my battery lasted longer.
absolutly same issue here :/
it seems started with February security patch, no media file change (not added, not moved of folder, nothing!). I've not played music/video while testing this.... :/
OkGoogle everywhere is OFF
i've no music streming app/services, any chat (just hangouts), any other change on my setup these days.... :/
Has anybody figured this out yet? I had skipped January and February's security patches and was still on MMB29M. This only started about 4 days ago for me. I upgraded to the latest patch, MMB29Q, and... the glitch was fixed for a day hours but has now come back. :\

Well Android system has lots of packages, check what packages are activated that includes ones in notification bar, GPS, NFC, Backup, Bluetooth, etc. They all absorb power at some point if they are always on it can drain the battery power. Also go to Settings / Autostart and check what packages are enabled to autostart.

This was with mobile data mostly disabled, and gps was not used heavily, as you can see from the screenshot.
I'll get back when I get more info.
Btw what I forgot to mention, the phone is brand new, like it was freshly set up a couple of days ago, and the baterry was bad since the first day.
She doesn't have a lot of apps, so it's really weird to see this battery drain.
What should I be looking for in the autostart settings?

It says Android system 34% that is too much, if you click on Android system it will list you the services and more info on power drain. For example on my device Android system does not go higher 15% usually, I have disabled autostart for the apps and services I don't really need to be running in background.
You can debloat the ROM by using xiaomi adb tools, no root needed. Then I believe battery will be much better. Search the thread in the forum
it's here, the second post

Also turn sync apps off automaticly.

Yes, I've seen that it lists all the processes under Android system, but that didn't mean much, because there's a lot of them and it doesn't specify what drains the battery the most or any other details.

Perhaps the sync is on, and that might be what's causing the drain, I'll look into it.
Speaking of debloating, is there a fail safe of some kind? If something goes wrong, would a factory reset bring back the disabled/removed modules?
Thanks to both of you for the help.
I'll see if any of that fixes the issue.

I think the program list only the apps that are safe to debloat and also it just disable so choose the one you don't like and leave the ones you are not sure about and if you want to know about them Google is you best friend
i have this issue as well and i think it appeared when i started using chinese vendor

Factory reset would bring everything back of course but not necessary. The debloat app will bring everything back if you need. You can read many people wrote that it fixed their battery drain issue.

Indeed, I believe that debloating fixed, or at least alleviated the issue.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
I haven't updated my Xiaomi Mi 9T yet to MIUI 11. And I don't have any problem with the battery on MIUI 10. Should I wait until this bug is patched to get the update ?

It's hardly a bug you just have to manually configure the apps that you want to autostart in background.

I would definately wait. Since MIUI 11 both my wifes and my own phone have massive drain issues. They work fine for days and all of a sudden they fully drain within a few hours without noticing any app really doing anything.
Mine is more or less fully debloated and my wifes is not but has only a few apps.
I think there is really something wrong with the update.

You know nothing. Is a major bug. Was present in miui 10 and is worse in miui 11.
So is debloat necessary again after updating to MIUI 11 (I disabled the apps, didn't remove them)?
Same finding here
(And maybe an ongoing solution)

How do I know which apps need to be autostart and which not? Example, I have sharing of my location set up with someone. How do I know if google maps needs to be autostarted, or it's handeled by some api?
It's a huge problem for me. It keeps happening and reappearing every few days.
