Hey, got my phone yesterday and it's been great.
Updated to KE7 via Kies and I haven't done root yet.
Battery is good. 3G or wifi always on, but when I see the battery stats, they show high percentage of Android OS (16%) and Android System (19%).
Also, 9% of Wi-fi sharing, but I haven't used it yet.
Is there a way to reduce this numbers?
Is it ok if I kill wi-fi sharing here?
Thanks

Just use the phone and dont be another paranoid about usage stats .
You can kill WiFi sharing its sharing your WiFi with others for free .
The page you are looking at says of the xxx amount of power used
the power has been used mostly by the display etc etc .
It is not a measure of the battery power just how its total use has been proportioned out .
No battery stats 100% charged switch on Display shows 74% .
Thats 74% of the 1/4 % of battery used not 74% of the battery .

I don't have wifi sharing turned on it with KE7 it keeps using up the most resources of anything. I ended up having to freeze it.

thanks man.
I'm not paranoid yet.
I'm just concerned if my phone may have any issues.
Actually I don't notice any of the problems people report here.
GPS is locking fine, battery is good. Wi-fi keeps on most of times, it's not getting too hot, etc.
I've just done my first full charge since yesterday.
I'll see how it will perform.
Another question. I can't turn data off. Downloaded APNdroid but it doesn't turn it off.
Is there a way I can put a toggle in the notification bar with wi-fi, GPS, etc?

I really need help understanding what is draining my battery, sometimes even while it is charging.
I'm rooted, and on Simply Honey 5.1
I've set up my Facebook to sync once a day, Titanium Backup to backup 2ce a week, and usually, while I am sleeping, all my wifi/bt/gps etc are off.
Recently, i've noticed that while my battery is charging at night, i wake up with a low charge (50 - 70% range), and that basically my battery has been draining at the same time.
I installed Watchdog lite, and have had System Panel monitoring my system.
Here are some screen shots.
System Panel - Plot - 8 hours - battery drain even while charging. CPU is being used a lot, even though the device has not been touched.

System Panel - Top Apps - 8 hours. System, system process, calendar storage seem to be using a lot of CPU
Watchdog Lite - Android Process Home Screen - what is that? and Facebook doing it's daily sync, I assume.
Can anyone explain to me what System, and System processes do? Also, what is Android Core (Home Screen), and why would that run, if the device is asleep?
Any answers would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
I ran into the same problem, what I did I went ahead and got juice defender from market. It allowed me to turn off all radios at night. This allowed the phone to remain charged the whole night. Also while charging I activate the clock app and dimmed the screen at night while charging this also helped the phone to charge 100%.

I have juice defender already, but i don't turn off all my radios at night, because i do want phone calls to come though if they have to. wifi/bluetooth and gps are all turned off though.
I'm really wondering what Android Core (Home Screen) and System/System Processes are, and why they are eating so much battery.
Thanks for your help, fear676
have you tried clearing your cache and fixing permissions? since juice defender doesnt work, you can try to uninstall facebook and see if that changes anything. i know that i had a problem with both facebooks on my vibrant and i set the integrated account to sync once a day and the app to never sync.
i also had a problem on my SGS4G where my android core killed my battery in 2 hours randomly. i ended up having to reformat everything on the phone and reflashing the rom.
here we can post how our battaries lasts and which programs or setting lead to accelerate battery drain.
for me,
1.working hours:
*maximum working hours were 35 hrs
2.usage rate:
*moderate usage; 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth (up to more than 4 hrs continually by playing songs by PowerAmp when connected with my car's headunit)
3.optimum setting (my personal opinion):
* 1-make sure your accounts & sync: -background data & auto sync- unchecked.
2-motion setting: uncheck it.
3-location & security: uncheck my location setting.
4-latitude: logout from your google latitude account or choose not to let google collect your locations.
5-data network mode: don't forget to de-activate it every time you dont need it by hold press on power button and select either to activate it or deactivate.
I'm using this setting always and get satisfaction for SGS2 battery performance which was before lasts for only 12 hours
And don't forget that GB 2.3.5 has the favor for maximize battery performance.
seems like someone is trying to reach that important number of 10
Ricey
It depends how much i use it?!?!?!
Not another one! Please close.

Mine lasts one billion hours. I swear.
Battery life also largely depends on what rom and kernel you're using... so this is kind of pointless really.

Agreed,
+ modem = signal strength,
+ data mode, wifi or 3G/Edge, airplane mode,
+ Brightness levels,
+ Syncing,
+ personal usage patterns,
+ other factors......
It's irrelevant to compare battery life.
Three days before today it lasted for five days from 100% to 30% charge .
Today a 100% charge has lasted only four hours .
Tomorrow it should last much longer as it will be switched off .
So yes pointless OP and has not this same topic been posted before .
If you want to check kernels their is a poster in most of the kernel threads that has done some testing of kernels and battery on his phone not your phone .

by using siyah kernal v 2.6.9
today is the fourth day !!

hahah, this was my surprise
now my battery level is about 39 %
Hi. I commented on a previous post about how great my battery is on 4.1.2 with wifi on, much better than 4.1.1, was draining at about 0.7-1% per hour overnight with 5 hours screen on time.
Anyway, last night I thought I would try something else and when I went to bed I turned off wifi and left on 3g. What a mistake! Battery drained from 71% to 24% in 7 hours. Thats about 6% per hour!
Nothing else has changed, no apps were left running. My screenshot looks like it couldnt go back to sleep on 3g? I dont have wifi at work and need my phone during the day, recommendations? Flash back to 4.1.1? I've seen others complaining about same issue on 3g but as mentioned above, couldnt find the thread. On the screenshot, where wifi turns off the third time was when I went to sleep- the battery hemoragies at this point.

I just checked my data usage last night and nothing was used so it wasn't a app syncing or anything, just doesn't like been on 3G!
If I turn wifi off and turn mobile data also off, it hardly drains at all. As soon as mobile data is on, it's constantly awake. I have quite a good signal also. Most strange.
I will just keep wifi off and mobile data off at work, I may get more work done anyway!
Hi check this thread out some usefull ideas and tips regarding greatly increasing battery life for heavy users .. all tips are tested ..good luck

Ok, I have found my problem, sort of. Just realised, when wifi is not on, even though I have a h in top screen, I'm getting no data. Tried running some speed tests etc and didn't work at all. The orange download arrow is never on and the green upload arrow is nearly always on. I'm wondering if I have had a bad flash? Did it via kies. I'm on o2uk if that helps. Tried switching to 2g and I get a icon, with orange and green arrows but still no data! Just spoke to o2 and they have resent me all my 3g internet settings etc but still not working.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks for all the help!
I have reflashed via Odin and that didn't resolve it. I have then done a complete factory reset and that hasn't resolved it either. What should I do now? Is it a rma job?
Hi, i have some problems with this process, in battery use from settings, the android OS has a BIG BATTERY DRAIN, this works since the phone is unplugged, and my phone haven`t deep sleep, i lose 2-3% percent per hour in better battery stats the phone is awake ALL TIME and CPU SPY show me the lowest frequency is 384mhz and deep sleep doesn`t exist HELP ME PLEASE
Have you tried turning off all non-important services and sync , and see if that helps ??
Also there are some after market applications available on play-store that prevents such wake ups , by killing them. I couldn't recall them properly but I think they are named as Deep Sleep battery saver or something similar.
You can also use android tuner , to see what are the causes behind that.(Task manager has extensive features to look and control them.)
i havent active services (auto sync off,facebook notifications off, messenger off, gps off, google location off, etc), so i dont know what happen ill try to post some screen of my battery uses, this may help, thanks man! and sorry for my english
try some app like android tuner , it'll tell you which specific process is keeping it alive . It'l give more detailed insights into the running tasks.

Anyones knows what happen with my battery???
Can't say about it just by looking at these charts . You'' have to use some third party tool that provides monitoring of system processes . It'll give some info.
Hey guys im using this AOSP rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/orig-development/rom-saosp-project-t3228656 .
Since a few days my phone shows 75 % battery usage for "phone idle" and its charging extremely slow. when i use it while charging it even loses battery while still on ac .
Does deep sleep not work anymore? i uninstalled some apps i installed because i thought they might cause this but nothing changed. im trying to calibrate the battery now
but charging to 100 % takes like 12 hours even if i dont use my phone. Does anyone know what suddenly happened?
I have also noticed a constant battery drain since I got my phone a few days ago (I'm on the other AOSP rom on this forum, the one by susch19).
It appears to be common knowledge that MediaTek chips have wifi problems, preventing the wifi module to go to sleep when it should.
If that is your problem, you can see several long-running kernel wakelocks using Wakelock Detector, for example md1_cldma_peer and EINT - mine had been active for about 50% of the time during two days of stats collection.
I have just finished charging my phone to 100% and disabled wifi and will check the battery drain overnight and throughout the next day.
I am using that rom and no problem at all.
Use wakelock detector and greenify/uninstall all offending apps...
i think your are right about the kernel/wifi. here's a screen of wakelock detector.

No idea what those apps are but u should definitely greenify them or do something.
There is an app that switch off net and gps when screen is off with some conditions... don't remember the name.
this is the kernel how am i supposed to greenify it ? there are no apps causing this. i greenified all apps even uninstalled the most and still this battery drain. its probably like Xabin said and has sth to do with the wifi/kernel and the MediaTek chip having wifi problems, preventing the wifi module to go to sleep when it should.
Yep that's why I suggested a smart manager to switch off completely the radio when not in use. Google is your friend.
it is able to reenable radio time to time to catch up with emails or messages...
anyone suffering massive battery drain when using lightly? 15mins of simple browsing and youtube and it drains from 100 to 85%. Im on miui7 lhmmici 7.0.5.0
I was disappointed with the battery drain in miui, but it seems much improved since installing the AOSP Hybrid rom. Also doesn't seem to drain so much with screen on, though I've not quantified it.
Had same problems with wakelocks, but Greenify and Amplify module in Xposed have made a noticeable improvement. Occasionally get a 100% wakelock with aee_core_forwarder. Still not sure what causes it; haven't found a fix other than a reboot.
But overall, I'm satisfied with the battery life now.
