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?

Not using any of these. New phone so doubt battery responsible. Do you think its the wallpaper? Just made it through one day at college.

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.

Im using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.galaxypacklivewallpaper
Dont use s- voice or wake up command, but may have left apps running in RAM maybe. Battery has been 3 hours screen on most days so I dont know whats happened!

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.
One day they seem perfectly normal: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pprase2tqiwcq8/2014-06-12 22.38.17.png

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.
Here are some bad days:

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).
I bought this phone few days ago and after some using noticed that battery drains really fast with WiFi/Mobile data. I downloaded Greenify and hibernated all apps using network. I turned off Sync, NFC, Energy saving on, screen brightness really low, gps, bluetooth still it drains with 2-4h using WiFi or mobile data(3g).
Can anyone think of something that drains my battery so fast? Thanks for any help!

Sounds like you either have a process that's preventing your phone from going into deep sleep, or your battery is malfunctioning. Try checking your sleep states with an app like BetterBatteryStats and see if your device goes into sleep mode properly.
P.s. My device lasts ~2 days with medium usage, always connected to the internet with either 3g or WiFi,and I'm not even using Greenify or anything similar, so the battery life is generally pretty decent.

Check the partial wakelocks screen. You should be able to locate the app that's causing the problem there. Also, I've read somewhere that cleaning the cache (either through Storage Settings or recovery) helps.

Well, it looks like that AudioMix process is causing your problems. I did a google search and found this thread that might help you.
Some have reported that disabling touch and lock screen sounds fixed the issue, while others said that clearing the cache did it for them. I'm afraid you're going to have to experiment
Thanks for the help! I'll try to fix the issue then.

It didn't solve it. I'm still having the issue after factory resetting, flashing a new rom, and data resetting. So I noticed that below Audiomix theres written "1013". I googled it, and it should be media according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442557 . This thing I'm having is such a headache.

Hmm. That process is obviously tied to something media related, but I can't tell what... A music player perhaps? Do you use any media streaming apps? I'm afraid I'm at my wit's end here... Wish someone else would lend a hand :/

I disabled apps like "Adapt Sound" and "SapaMonitor" and AudioMix went down to 1%.(I used media player to try if disabling these apps screws something up). Battery life seems a little bit better but hey, it could be better . Thanks for all the help again! That was really awful... Glad it's over
Happy to help
By now, most of you know there is a problem with battery drainage on the Snapdragon version. I along with many other people have fixed this by doing the following steps:
1. Clear Cache
2. Factory Reset
3. Opt out of all background reporting to Google and Samsung. (Google Location is okay)
4. Don't update any of the pre-installed apps through the play store that your not going to use.
5. Turn off auto update in the pay store.
6. Disable any app you don't want in the application settings.
7. Set location settings to GPS only.
8. Set WiFi to sleep when the screen is off or stay awake only when charging.
9. Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning.
Last but not least DO NOT use an SD card unless your phone doesn't have the ejection bug. Every time you see the SD notification your phone is scanning the SD card. This can use a lot of power in the background as it wakes up the phone and doesn't allow it to go into its deep sleep state.
Also make sure you set it up as a new device instead of copying information from an old phone.
(Some are also reporting an improvement by just turning off Google and Samsung background reporting without even doing a factory reset.)
(Also DO NOT disable any packages using a package disabler app) Just disable apps you don't want through the application settings. I along with many others have reported worse battery life after disabling some of the packages.
For those of you (1 of you) saying this is pure snake oil, the following screenshots make for some compelling proof that it is not.
The first set of screenshots are of my battery performance before taking these steps and then some screenshots after taking these steps.
I've also disabled scanning for nearby devices, since my environment doesn't have any I can or want to connect to 98% of the time (and it can/will wake the WiFi w/o charging battery use to WiFi IIRC).
SM-G935A (US AT&T):
Settings > Connections > More connection Settings > Nearby device scanning > Off
I followed these steps this morning. I got excited when I saw in GSam that it was held awake for 0 seconds but since then it's still showing me held awake. Perhaps something I'm installing, I do notice screenwise is much higher for battery drain now. I drained a lot installing a ton of new apps so I can't go by anything yet but it seems the battery is more steadily depleting and losing less while idle. I'm interested in seeing how it performs after I go through this first cycle. Here's some screens
after reset SOT 1:47 58% left
before SOT 5:33 2% left
see how it seems to be more steady now, maybe I'm imagining it.
This post is snake oil.

I think that may be throwing out the baby with the bath water ... I don't know whether the cache has a direct effect or not, but the other settings seem to have a measurable impact.

I wonder the true reason. I tried those steps before and that does not do the trick for me. Also, Bluetooth will sometimes just decide to eat 5% of the battery for no reason. However, the phone I get for my girlfriend (gold color, I got silver), without any adjustment out of the box can just get great battery life. Like without turn off anything. GPS is high accuracy, everything you mentioned in the post she has it on the regular setting, wifi on all the time, scanning device. The battery just keep doing great for her but terrible for me. I'm so confused regarding to this issue. Then I also tried package disabler on her phone, and it's still doing great.

Clearing the cache may do nothing at all. I am just sharing the steps I took to improve my battery life. You're right though. Clearing the cache most likely is not what fixed it.
The other things I have listed though (especially opting out of the Google background reporting) has improved mine and others battery life immensely. Many people have reported much better battery life after disabling the background reporting.
Like I said, I'm just listing what I did to improve my battery from draining 18% overnight in standby to only losing 2% overnight in standby.

Nope....We are in the Edge forums. If you haven't seen. Many are having battery problems with the Snapdragon version of the Edge. There are many threads you can check out here.
Now I am getting great battery life but I had to put up with terrible battery life for nearly 5 days.
I have att edge and my battery life has been super impressive I didn't do much either just disabled couple apps screen 40% auto bright wifi BT always on location when I need I been averaging 7 1/2 hour sot, kinda reminds me when I me and my wife had g2 I had amazing battery life and my wife's phone sucked ass, I feel like some phones are duds
Anyway to turn of the background reporting without doing a factory reset?
I did the steps above last night and today is my first day. To be honest it seems similar to before but I will give it some time. My WiFi is always taking 50%+ on gsam even before. Any fix for this?

Looks like you have the WiFi bug. I had it as well when I disabled a bunch of packages. Have you disabled any packages?
Also, you could try changing the way your WiFi sleeps. Try changing it to only staying on when charging.
There is no way your WiFi should be using that much power.

Hey guys, my ZenFone always has a red cellular network after flashing any custom rom. Only on stock rom it's fine. It's always red no matter where I go, and it's draining a lot of battery.
So on another day, I turned on airplane mode and left it overnight. And then when I checked my phone in the evening, it drained a lot. But towards the end it was shown to be awake, which caused a huge sudden drain.
I have Greenify which prevents background processes, but I doubt Greenify itself takes up much battery.
Anyway to figure out what's causing this problem?

Calibrate your battery . (Simply use any app from play store that can do it )
For red bars : put on 2 sims it will solve the problem .
For wake : use wakelock detector or any similar app and see which app is keeping ur device awake . Force stop that or uninstall it .
Greenify : you can check ur battery stats for Greenify to see how much it consumes (use xposed based feature , its feature rich )
Also try to change your governor it will help you extend few mins of usage . (Use kernel aduitor)
Thank you.

Thank you for replying.
-I'm charging my phone to 100%, will update results after calibrating.
-So even after removing second sim card the red bass won't come back?
-I think I found what caused my device to be awake: Kernel Adiutor. I switch off 2 cores of my CPU using this, to temporarily fix the freeze issue(unlocked bl), but after about 20 minutes I'm unable to switch those cores back on without a hard reboot. Leaving then switched off overnight caused a huge drain, as shown below.
- Greenify doesn't use much at all.
- Governor changing is something I feel will lead to the same result as switching off cpu cores.
EDIT: The pic shows Wi-Fi was on the entire time, but in fact it was switched off the whole time... wonder why
EDIT 2: wakelock detector doesn't work, says 'failed to perform task at the moment, try again later' as soon as i open it.

1: if you remove SIM then yes red bars will come .
So insert both the sims that's the fix .
2:read about different governors ,it will help you understand them , as you mentioned about turning off cores that was simply HOTPLUG governor (my guess ), yes it causes huge battery drain in ZenFone . Try other governor ( yankactive,wheatley, conservative x ........)
3:I think your Wi-Fi is in scanning mode always , so suggest you turn that off .
To turn that off simply get into location setting , tap on the 3 vertical dot (options ) , there would be scanning option set according to ur preference .
Hope this would help you .

To turn that off simply get into location setting , tap on the 3 vertical dot (options ) , there would be scanning option set according to ur preference .
Hope this would help you .

1: In cm based roms second sim cannot be deactivated (known bug )
2: Suggest you to turn on all the cores .and use the default governor .
3: Try turning on and then off the Wi-Fi scanning option .
4: Also you can perform a clean install of the Rom (if nothing helps and send a logcat to the Rom developer)

That wasn't the problem, the problem was that my battery suddenly drained due to my phone being awake with screen still off, but thanks for replying anyway.
So battery calibration did nothing. And it seems the cellular signal strength being red is something of a bug for RR for the Zen5, but the person said it doesn't impact battery at all. But in my case it does, it causes over 300 mAh drain in a day.
Hello, there is a problem with the phone, the idle battery drain is too high, something is keeping it awake.
I've attached the screenshots of battery stats.
My mother is using the phone, so I don't have it with me all the time.
Any help is much appreciated!

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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/debloating-mi-9t-t3958145
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.
