//EDIT: I do have background syncs enabled, but they're configured to fire every 2-4 hours: mail, weather, Twitter, news.
My Flyer is staying awake an absolutely crazy amount of time compared to how often it's awake due to me actually turning the screen on. You can see below what I mean in these two screenshots:

I have sleep mode enabled from 7 PM - 10 AM, WiFi sleep policy to "when screen turns off," and low power mode enabled at ~25%. I'm just incredibly disappointed with the battery drain on this device compared to what I had on my Nook Color, which could survive on battery for 9 days with light usage. My flyer dies in less than two days no matter what.
I have attached two multi-hour logcat logs. The first with Facebook installed, and the second after Facebook was removed. I would appreciate some help with dealing with this, because I am at my wit's end.

Logcat WITHOUT Facebook
Hi there,
I don't know how the Honeyfly is suppose to work...but I read somewhere some time ago that it helps to have the WiFi set to NEVER SWITCH OFF, have had it set like that ever since I got the Flyer, same on my Desire S.... I switch WiFi off manually when I leave the house...Also, uncheck the Software Update under Phone Info...and try to set if you have your Exchange Account to sync like every 15 minutes or so...Push may suck the juice out of your Flyer. All other accounts to normal sync like once an hour... And check how many cities you have in the weather widget....do you need them all? And do you need the weather to update once an hour? I also do not use Automatic Brightness...I use Widgetsoid on my home screen and have it set to 10/30/100 steps...with 10 being absolutely sufficient indoors! See how it all goes...and try a re-calibration of your battery!
And don't forget, you're running a Beta version...

Hey xda.
Seems like some google service is keeping the phone awake, all the time. I tried turning off auto syncing but no go

Any suggestions? I'm on Villainrom atm
Probably you have Latitude turned on or you have Maps in the background trying to find its location all the time.
First turn off Settings => Location and Security => Use Wireless Networks
Then try to turn off Latitude. Since it's one of the first apps that I freeze after flashing a new ROM, I don't know how it's done.
Wireless Networks was actually turned on. Turned it off. I will monitor it to see if its being kept awake now, thanks. Is it supposed to keep the phone awake that much though?
Latitude was turned off though, i think. At least it says "Join Latitude" in google maps, so I suppose its disabled.
@OP- You tried Turning Off Sync, but you haven't tried turning off GPS. It is on all time.
Regards.
Nah GPS was off all of the time
Ask about it on the Better Battery Stats thread.

According to your screenshot, it's the network location finding service that's keeping your phone alive, so turning wireless network location service should help. However, if it's not Latitude or Maps, you have another program which is constantly trying to find the phone's location. It could be a widget or any other app. Take a close look at what's running in the background and try to find out.
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.
My battery life has always been great; usually around 30% remaining when I go to bed.
Just in the last few days however I noticed it draining very fast with minimal usage.
Tonight, I'm down to 65% after just 4 hours (25mins screen on with lowest brightness and about 6 text massages, 20 what's app messages recieved, 1 missed call)
I have a CONSTANT wakelock mostly from *network-location-cell-update*, please see the screen shots.

The only thing I've done differenty recently is switch from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher (since changed back due to battery issue) and installed a few games from the Humble Bundle.
Latitude is always switched off and I have no facebook, twitter or push email.
Although *network-location-cell-update* seems to have a huge wakelock, it looks liek it's only used 4% of the total battery....
I'm really confused!
probably been answered somewhere else but try switiching off "use wireless networks" in location and secruity
I always used to leave that switched on with no problems; however because of this problem I have switched it off the last few days and it doesn;t resolve anything.
I don;t understand how this issue can just crop up out of no where...
Do you use latitude? Turn it off it's a battery killer. I think i've seen that exact same wakelock while using latitude.

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.
Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
