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.

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.
//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 WITH Facebook
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...

Im attaching some pics so that u may get idea.

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat
This thread explains and shows what Android OS is and is not - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18140918
Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)
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.
I just got my S5 on Monday, but there is a bug w/ Google services or something. I can post photos here, but the services is using too much of battery on stand by if anything. Google + used 25% of my battery from like 10 am to like 4 pm, so I disabled it since I don't use it at all. I have no location history set up and I have Google Now running, never use it, but sometimes nice to have.

What's your location mode? If it's high accuracy or battery saving, that's why. It keeps the google location service running and constantly polling for your location even with location history off. Google Now is also a big battery drain.

This is my third S5, but newest one on Monday, but it's location history off. I went to Best Buy to get a reflash on my S5 and now it's fine, but now, Lookout is eating up 20% of the battery. Can't have it near perfection w/ technology, meh.
