I'm rooted & on stock firmware ICS 4.0.3 XWLP7, I recently flashed JKays framework & deluxe settings for this firmware & I'm not really sure if that bares any significance to my problem! I'm experiencing quite high CPU usage (between 35%-45%! even if I kill all running processes/applications) over the last week or so & wondered if this is normal? I've also tried wiping battery stats & dalvik cache, & athough it helps a little, it only last for a small period of time, like an hour or so!? If someone could give me any clues as to why this may be happening I'd be greatfull!!

I already have BetterBatteryStats installed & I'm a bit noob with how to read any findings, what section are you asking me to report back with? Other/Partial Wakelocks/Kernel Wakelocks/Alarms or Process??

Have you got nothing better to do with your time TROLL?
What's the guarentee that "YOU'LL" hang on my every word & reply very shortly indeed??
& just for your information, "I DID" search & read, but couldn't find any answers, which is why I posted the question in a "Q&A" forum!
tbh, oinky is right
i didnt ask for information, i said to use bbs and report back. i never said i would reply after that either
the point of my post was to get the info people will need to be able to help you
any problems related to battery drain will generally be resolved quicker with bbs stats
Thats not to say i use bbs myself

Fair enough!
Anyone else have any clues to my problem besides Dark Agent? (& obviously oinky )
You should let your battery run down until it's almost dead and then show bbs stats.
Your phone is not sleeping properly because something is causing kernel wakelocks. You should Google those first 2 kernel wakelocks to try and find out what is causing them. The first one is related to apps and data usage. Use titanium backup to freeze rogue apps causing them.

wasnt too bad was it?
Thats why i posted what i posted (and as i said, i dont use bbs myself)
From what I can gather (I might be wrong!) my problem seems to be related to data traffic, here: https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/svnet-dormancy
Does anyone know how to track down which app or service in particular may be be causing it?
TIA! ;
Based on your earlier post you will probably ignore this:
Are you switching your 2g/3g data OFF when not using the phone?
If you leave it on, loads of apps have the chance to check for updates/synchronise
turn off auto updates, syncing, wifi, 3g and anything else related to accessing the net for information

I don't think you can actually find which app it is without freezing all your user apps and trying one by one, which would be a pain. You could try reflashing clean and reinstalling all your apps clean. Could just freeze any apps you think might be the culprit and try one by one to narrow it down. Could also use Tasker or some other app to better control your data so you are not always connected. I leave my data off at all times and only turn it on when I am doing something that needs it.

Thanks, I thaught as much when I mentioned trying to narrow it down to a particular app! I've turned data transfer off when not using the phone now & I must say that it's made a significant difference, but I still don't fully understand why it started eating my battery/data all of a sudden like that, when I didn't change anything on the phone but install JKays framework & deluxe settings prior to this problem !
I like to receive my emails which is one reason for keeping data turned on, & I usually have it on GSM only unless I use the net without Wi Fi when I'm out & about!
I suppose I can only try different fixes & try & work out the best solution specific to my use of the phone huh!?
Hey, I have a major battery drain issue on my GS4 on stock VRUAME7.
I had my screen on for about 33~ minutes, and you can see how bad my battery was draining compared to how it was in the morning.
I noticed that my phone was warm in my pocket all day, and I didn't know why. I did disable every Samsung feature I could such as Smart Stay, and my brightness is at the lowest it'll go. I'm in a great 4G reception area, and Wi-Fi is off. I also turned off location service crap in the Maps application.
Do you have any suggestions of what apps I can use to find the source of the battery drain? Or any tips on how to fix it? I didn't have this problem while running the Google edition ROM >.>
How do you figure your GPS is constantly on when the battery stats you've posted indicate the contrary? If you're talking about the reticle on the status bar, that is not GPS.

Well, the icon for it using GPS is always on, and after a reboot, it's still constantly on. Also, it explains why my phone was warm all day. Honestly, these battery logs aren't telling me enough. Honestly, according to these battery logs, I'd say my battery is dead if it can drain about 27% battery by mildly using the screen for 30 minutes.

That is not a GPS reticle. It is E911 and does not affect battery.

Regardless, something's draining my battery and using battery stats pro or anything doesn't help me, they all just say it's the android system..
I have not updated but android system is number 1 on my list of battery usage as well. From what I've read it's due to Google location services. If you turn them all off it should go away..... Other things like Google now may not work well though.

Yeah, honestly, this is ridiculous, I have brightness on low, turned off every samsung feature, and turned off location reporting in Google maps, and my battery tanks from like 20+ hours a day with moderate use to barely 10 on light use.
I'm just going to factory reset, and hope that fixes the problem. I literally don't have the time to debug this. This would've been a lot easier if I was rooted :\
Disregard. You preemptively addressed everything I thought to check.

A tool that I use that is great and free from the Play store is GSam battery monitor. It can breakdown exactly what program is using to most resources. You should try it.
My suggestion? Wait it out. Give it a couple of cycles. I experienced the same thing with no explanation. It just seemed to fix itself. My theory is that it's uploading all of our data to the NSA and once it's done, battery drain returns to normal.

i have not noticed any issue yet but i hope this isnt true
Google Location Services battery issue is likely the culprit based on the google play store version bug. Just do a search for google play 4.1.10 apk and download and install it. If you are running currently 4.1.6 then you have the bugged version on google play that causes google location services to drain battery.

I am having the same issue after updating to VRUAME7. Battery drain Apprx 35% faster. I do have the google play store version 4.1.6. Isn't that a later version than 4.1.10? Pardon my ignorance but the only way I know how to install programs is through google play store so I don't know how to install version 4.1.0. Do you mean to download on the desktop and install to the phone? If so, please point me to the thread on how to do this.
Thank you

Start the install again and take a screen shot of the warning (power+home) and post the screen cap here. I don't recall seeing any warnings, it installed w/out issue, and all my app data, etc., is still there.

I updated google play store to 4.1.10 last night as suggested. This morning at 9:00am my phone had a full charge and so far today I still have 70% battery at 3:47pm. The play store update seems to have fixed the battery drain for my phone. Thank you.
Hi...
It's been a week, I experience severe battery drain...
At the night I have 100 % battery, then in the morning it's dead because no power left... I have to recharge it again.. I didn't use it... I just left it with wifi active...
When I check the usage... It show that 80 % consumed by "Media"..
What the hell is this application /services?
Other time, I tried to turn off that services.. But it turn on again automatically...
I did try factory reset, but I still have this issue...
And, a quarter part of the screen (top) is very hot while other part isn't...
Does anyone know what is going on with my XZU?
Thanks in advance...

Would be great to have a screenshot. Also can you check you wifi data details? Media app is use for media storage, DRM content, downloads and download manager. So to make it simple, it downloaded from night to morning and drained your battery. Do you see apps from the market you didn't download manually installed on your phone? Like a game with over 1gb of data or anything else (if you choices option to auto backup it restore all the apps you use from the market on your previous devices). Or did you put any file to download on any browser reboot our phone before the download is finish (Dolphin browser keep the link in memory and resume or restart download at boot).
First of all I would advise you to put your phone on stamina mod, and set it up if you use some apps like Viber, whatsapp, Facebook and etc... It really improve battery drain while you are not using your phone.

Wifi data details? I m not sure what you mean.. but I m curious that my XZU downloaded any data related to Media...
The last time I remember about it, I played with Jive (which is my primary suspect) (in the Walkman app)...
After that, I tried factory reset...and my last factory reset is last night... and this time, I havent activated my Google account and everything.. just to make sure that no account is activated...
Regarding stamina mod, I have tried it... even used Green Power Premium app (they are very useful)...but only after that issue occurred, then I try to leave it as factory default (I didnt install anything or activate any apps)... and as I said, it still drains the battery severly... and this so called "Media" remains there...
As you can see in the attached pics (sorry for the orientation)..

Look at this screen shot. On data usage you can show wifi usage as well. Then look if media is listed and how many kb or mb it used. Don't get confuse by the dual panel, my XZU is rooted and I use xposed framework.

download 'betterbattery stats'
Its on the playstore. It will tell you what the wakelocks are. 'media' may be something totally unreleated, and its just what your system thinks is hogging the battery...
do you have LightFlow installed? someone mentioned in another forum that it was killing his battery with that app installed

Media is not draining anything for me as well. Also just few kb on my data usage, but I remember I got it on my Nexus 7 as well, after a full wipe and flashing a new ROM at morning it was empty. But the day after it wasn't anymore.
You said you didn't registered any gmail account yet. Did it happen as well when you had a Gmail account registered? Just wonder if there is not a bug with the phone connect to Internet and the lack of an account link to playstore.

Before factory reset, yes, my Gmail is activated... now, not yet activated..
BTW, it's been around 15 minutes since I unplugged the charger.. now battery capacity is down to 91%...
It s just standby with wifi active...."Media" consumption 72%
Data service is only around 150 Kb
I just dont understand what is happening...
Maybe battery is damaged?
Do what I suggested. It will tell you exactly what the problem is. Link you to a site explaining what to do for that particular Wake lock.
You can also run an app called 'cool tool'
It will run in real time and tell you what CPU frequency you are running
Here is a video I made about the heat issues of the S4.. It will help you too

Hi, I think the reason of battery drains is not related with downloading data..
I dont know how it happens, but it seems that my device always active even if the screen is off.
I installed app called "wakelock detector"..
The media is the service that keep my device "awake"... it prevents/blocks the system from sleeping...
My question is what is the cause? is my device get infected by virus or malware?
Any suggestion to solve this issue? or is it hardware defect?
EDIT:
I have solved the problem.
I reformatted the sd card and factory reset.
Now, it's back to normal again.
It seems that the system keep on trying to scan the media file in the sd card.
There must be something wrong with my sd card (may be bad sector/cluster).
After reformatted it, everything seems normal.
Cheers

I'm not familiar with that app. Did you try betterbattery stats? It should have told you what it was, and linked you to a site explaining what the app or service is. Then you can freeze that service or uninstall it if its not a system app.
I've tried nearly everything I can think of and nothing stops this battery from killing itself very fast. Half a day on a charge is rediculous. I don't know what else to do.

First of all what do you have turned on (Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, etc.). Second, what applications are you using to help/find battery issues (Greenify, Wake Lock Detector, Tasker, etc.). Without this information it's hard to tell you what is wrong.
Personally, I have bluetooth on all the time connected to my G Watch. Location is set to Battery Saver. I have Greenify installed and hibernating apps when the screen is turned off and using Tasker to control CPU speeds. My phone has been off the charger for about 7 hours and I am at about 88% battery left.

Grab us the dump file from Better Battery Stats and we could help you out more. I get great battery life with my G3.
I use Greenify ,Lux , BT on most the time as well as Location. Typically my brightness is around 70% -80% as well.
I don't have all sorts of useless apps and widgets though, only 1 clock widget on the lock screen . and if I don't need an app I simply uninstall it....
Anyways grab that dump file from BBS if you'd like some help.

I don't have all sorts of useless apps and widgets though, only 1 clock widget on the lock screen . and if I don't need an app I simply uninstall it....
Anyways grab that dump file from BBS if you'd like some help.

You could I suppose however I myself don't use that app. I don't use any of the GSam apps.
Grab BBS here

Install it and enable root features in the advanced tab and then let it run for a little while. Then on the main screen you'll see a "share" button and dump file will be already highlighted. Select that and it'll put the file on the root of your SDCard.
If you could upload that it will be more helpful. BBS is more useful in my opinion and gives better details than GSam.
Once you get used to using it.... You'll wonder why you weren't using it in the first place

Here's the file I hope it tells something
I was having the same issue. No matter what I did it just sucked and I'm no noob. I just did a flash back to stock using the 10b tot file and set everything back up and now it's great. Easily lasting twice as long. I also didn't reroot yet.

It's showing your phone was awake about 1.5 hours more than your screen on time.
msm_tsens_lock (): 4 h 20 m 38 s (15638 s)
Kept your phone awake for over 4 hours. Your other various wake locks don't look to out of control to me, you have quite a few that will add up but I don't see any rogue apps really.
msm_tsens_lock
Is to do with Thermal Sensor. My G3 has never had that kernel wake lock so I'm not 100% that's it's normal or not, could very well be?!
What I'd suggest though anyways is to clear your Caches and Dalvic ( can use an app from Store to do this easily ) then give your phone a day or two before judging battery life so the Caches can rebuild.
And reboot your phone once a day. Also what I've been doing lately is I have my phone set up so that when I " knock off" it uses Greenify to force Hibernation of my apps then locks the phone.
That can be done through any launcher that supports gestures , I use Nova.
If nothing seems to work, factory reset should do it, though i know that's annoying.
I'll keep looking at your dump file just to see if i missed anything, I've been looking through a few of them and my eyes hurt[emoji12]

I've seen your posts over and over and I think you should consider the possibility that you are unhappy with your life, not with your phones. Technology will never cure depression.

True story bro
I have an HTC Droid DNA on Verizon running Android 4.4.2 (for a while now) and it's been pretty solid until about two weeks ago. All of a sudden it has started eating battery like mad, and the battery info says that the dialer or android system are the largest users of battery. I'm talking like full charge in the morning to dead by mid afternoon PLUGGED IN TO MY COMPUTER. I'm down 10% battery in the last 1.5 hours with the phone charging. The phone is in global mode, the location is set to "battery saving," I have good signal here (East Sacramento, Ca). I found some old threads on similar battery issues and read through them, tried what they recommended. I reset the cache partition first, no dice. I did a factory reset, and that seemed to work for a few days, but now the problem is back. I can't reset every few freaking days or my life will be a constant loop of reentering passwords. Could this be some sort of virus with a really good rootkit? I'm at my wit's end. Anybody know what this might be? I'd appreciate any help y'all can offer. Thanks.
Disable any sync in settings, it sounds like an app is trying to sync your contacts and is having issues making dialer and system keep on trying to sync those for you. That is my only thoughts other than some rogue app doing something to call dialer and system as factory reset fixes it, so it has to be something in settings or an app that gets installed on your end.

Here goes . . .
Thanks for the quick reply. I live by sync, but I'll certainly try it and see what happens. Any idea of how I might figure out which app it is if that's the issue?

Seems not to Help.
So I've disabled sync, and I'm still losing about 1% battery every 1-3minutes. so I get roughly 2-3 hrs. battery from full charge at that rate, and plugging in while running only slows the bleeding. Under battery usage, Dialer is 45%, Android system is 33%, and Internet is 10%, followed by play services, linkedin and mediaserver for a combined 5%. Hmmm . . .

Hmm. Have you tried disabling location and WiFi location consent? It might be gplay services keeping GPS or WiFi scan on. I haven't had this issue in awhile as I just use greenify to sleep pretty much every app I have and important ones have gcm so they can wake for a quick email/text/etc check once in awhile.

Is this thread dead?
Having the same issue on my girlfriend's DNA; Dialer seems to account on the most battery drain.
Have you tried the suggested solution already? I never personally ran into this issue. Then again only my SIM syncs contacts and nothing else does as I am a privacy nut and don't want other services to know my contact list.

Yeah, tried unsynching everything.
Seems that the issue resolved itself when I cleared cache from recovery...
Then, instead of the dialer being the culprit; Android system was...
Planning on doing full factory reset this weekend.
