Hi guys. I picked up a Sony Xperia SX (It comes with Android 4.0.4) a week ago and have been happy with it except for the battery life; it's not quite as good as my old Nexus One.
I've been looking at the battery usage stats and things seem ok except for "Android System." This collection of tasks takes up a LOT of battery and I have no idea why. Does anyone know?
I've turned off all my Google Account syncing and removed some of the pre-installed bloatware (for example, McAfee AntiVirus, but for some reason this still appears under Android System - does that mean it's not uninstalled? If so, is there some way to get into the system and actually remove this process?). The screenshots below are for a full days worth of very light usage: a few text messages, browsed one web page for a few minutes, and a very short phone call.
Are there any apps I can install that track battery/CPU/activity usage per process so I can zero in on what is keeping the device awake so much?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Unless someone's made a build for this device, I have no idea how to do that. :\
I have the same phone and same problem.
Have you rooted it?
If so you can use a root uninstaller to get rid of the bloatware
I installed juice defender yesterday and there seems to be a slight improvement.

Hey Guys I am troubleshooting a battery life issue for my boss' wife. Her brand new S4 is draining battery way too fast overnight if not plugged into the charger.
When I pull up her Battery Usage at the top every time is Android OS with a whopping 40-45% of usage.
I have disabled Caller ID, double checked she only have one account synced on her phone and its not happening every 15 minutes or anything. I set her screen brightness to auto (though I know this wouldn't show up as Android OS usage). She is using stock firmware from Verizon and has not really installed much short of a couple games.
What do you think could be causing Android OS to be sucking up so much juice? My Note 2 only shows Android OS as using 10% over 1 1/2 days of usage
Turn off all location reporting stuff under maps, and also download the play store v4.1.10 apk if you are still on 4.1.6. Play store v 4.1.6 has a known battery drain issue and that is why there is a newer one out.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/29/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-10/
Also removing the ongoing wifi thing in teh notification pull down will help as well since it scans for wireless networks like every 4 or 5 seconds. I'm pretty sure she would have to be rooted to be able to flash the MOD.

OK installed Play Store update and rebooting now. She is not rooted, unlocked, nor does she have a custom ROM installed so I'd have to root it if I wanted to add in that mod. This seems like something that should be fixable without a root tho, right?
Thank you for your help btw

Got it. Ok well I did the Play Store update and the location services. I also installed 2x Battery Saver to shut down her wifi when in sleep mode. I'll know if that took care of it tomorrow morning when she brings it in again.
Thanks again for the responses guys. I just know that out of the box this thing shouldn't be draining so fast when its idling!
Its a friggin' Verizon thing. Again they have to be a pain in the a$$ and feel they need to do something to feel like they are better then other carriers by adding and subtracting stuff. The ongoing wifi notification and the removing of the wifi and a couple other toggles in the notification toggles was asinine.
Plus, the battery drain issue with the play store has nothing to do with the phone but a bug from google that was fixed with an update.

Oh. My. God. You are my savior!
Billions of threads were read by me, dozens of battery software were installed by me to analyze battery drain but there were no result unitl I found this thread and you message. A had 70-80% "Android OS" of battery usage and that was because of god damn Play Store 4.1.6 installed on my GT-i9500 and it didn't update for some reason (any suggestions why?). After I've downloaded new version from androidpolice, everything seems to become perfect.
Thank you very much for your message, dude. I owe you.

No problem... glad I could help. The reason it didn't update is because Google never pushed it out. They knew there was an issue and put a fix out pretty fast but you had to download it and install manually. I don't know why.
I have a pretty bad battery drainage problem. Multidp and 12_hsic wakelocks are prevalent. The most noticeable is the Phone app waking up the most.
Steps I've taken to combat the High battery drainage
Disabled Fast Dormancy
Greenified Facebook, Playstore, PlayBooks and Keep
All but contacts and chrome are checked under the autosync settings
Even tried apps like Juice Defender, but the battery drainage increased to a whole new level; deleted the app
Installed a custom kernel. Undervolted by -50mv
ROM: CrDroid
Kernel: Temasek Kernel
P.S Tried the BetterBatteryStats thread, but no one did help me there. :/ Hope I solve my problem here. Attached the idle dump.
Thanks in advance.

The Problem is The ROM , not the Phone.
Android 4.3 isn't optimized for S3 yet .
That causes Battery Drain Problems.
My Recommendation is that you search another 4.3 ROM or Downgrade to 4.2.2 or lower.
Previous post is wrong.
Your two first kernel wakelocks mean network use. Search for background sync apps, check Wi-Fi advanced settings and disable Google constant search.
Greenify all apps, except the vital ones for your usage. With paid app and xposed framework you can even freeze push message ones.
All this can be found in a couple of minutes with Google.
Some can achieve .2 %/hour in deep sleep with 4.3.
The Rom is not the culprit.
You wont get good battery life on IDLE on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs. No matter what you do. battery life is ok while the phone is awake but when it is in deepsleep still it consumes the battery on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs.

Yes i know AOSP,AOPK & CM don't have as good an idle drain as the touchwiz ROMs, but in my case we do know the reason. So it has to some other reason

Already had Google constant search disabled. And 4.3 is not xposed framework compatible. So can't use that.
And I have disabled background syncing except for chrome and contacts. It's the phone app waking up that's probably the culprit

I use xposed framework... It's compatible.
2.1.4 apk framework works well. Some people need to use SuperSu instead of super user, you can put it with a file explorer in system/app, then reboot and run, there is even a cwm zip somewhere to flash the framework directly.

Yes I know it's just 1.1% but you gotta see that this is just an idle drain. When I start using the phone on day to day basis, it doesn't even last the whole evening let alone the whole day. I'm down to 20% by mid afternoon when i unplug my phone at 8 A.M. .
Whereas when I was on stock, as the people above have said, my battery drain was around .4% and the phone used to last around a day and a half with moderate usage. Yes I know that I can never have that good a battery, but atleast I should be able to eliminate most of the wakelocks with this ROM. But the typical methods like disabling FD, greenifying apps etc etc don't seem to work.

I am on omega rom series 8.1.AOKP
My battery doesnt last a day anymore.
Phone is way faster than stock, but battery sucks.
Are there NO AOKP/CM/AOSP roms that have more stability and better juice at all?
No

HI, I had this problem in my Galaxy Note 10.1 .
My girlfriend's Galaxy S3 also started to eat up battery after 4 months.
for both of them, I got the charger and data cable replaced by the samsung service center.
The problem got solved.
So, may be this can be your case too.
The thing is, for charging a battery to it's full capacity, the charger need to supply appropriate current and appropriate voltage. Now with the malfunctioning of the charger (source) or the data cable (path) can lead to unhealthy charging of the battery.
Now, According to my logic, (I am not sure if it's true) the phone reads the voltage and tells you the percentage of the remaining battery. But actually battery does not have much current to make the voltage stand still. That is because, when the phone will not recieve appropriate current according to the system's resistance, It will definitely eat up more voltage, and the battery will drain quickly.
I hope this helps you
This is my first solution posted on XDA, I dont know if you see a thanks button, but If you do, and this helps you, Please hit the thanks button

Aosp are known for draining s3 battery, especially cm.
It is a simple suggestion, but on MY ACCOUNT foxhound 0.1 based on 4.2.2 is one of the least battery draining samsung based roms if not the least. It is certainly stable, you can theme it with xposed and change launcher if you don't like touchwiz....

Remember if you choose any 4.2.2 samsung based rom not to change kernel, default is good enough anyway...

Hi I really appreciate your feedback, but I am not so clued up on how exposed works or how to theme, Ive tried to, butIi couldnt really grasp the concept..:silly:
Technical-ish definition: it is a framework, so it wraps around android system at startup and patches the ui packages required for it to apply mods.
User definition: a package you can install to mod your phone, mostly for themes. First you install it, then you install modules, which are more packages that come with options. They basically use the xposed framework to be able to mod/theme your phone. So.
install xposed ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401install apk and open app. From there you can EASILY install the framework with a button).
Install any module (they come as apks).
Activate module within xposed and use module to tweak settings (usually they come with their own app, or you can just go to modules in xppsed and press the name).
When you restart the phone will apply changes
pretty easy, all the developing is back end.
If your phone crashes at startup there is a package ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1619566&d=1361912360 ) you can flash through recovery to simply disable xposed at startup no problem so you can then go back to xposed app and disable modules not compatible with your rom that made your phone crash. Some nice modules (you can find installation apks either on xda or inside xposed download menu):
Nottach xposed ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285074 )
wanam xposed (app store or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383484 )
Xblast tools ( http://repo.xposed.info/module/ind.fem.black.xposed.mods )
Gravity box (download section in xposed or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070 )
Maybe you can find some more of these in download section within xposed app, also look there.
There are also many other packages for tweaking backgrounds or just the status bar and many specifuc things....
And there is much more. Remember these modules may make the phone crash if applied together (there is a check-box activation menu in xposed managing , so you can have more installed at the same time but not activated) so it's probably best not to activate the most similar ones at the same time.
Also you can find somewhere in xda a thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541) which rounds up all xposed available modules. Or the website which is a bit more difficult to navigate, i'd use xda.thread.but you can also find modules here ( http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview ).
xposed may look complicated, but couldn't be simpler!

Try using better "wifi on off" application from play store. Looks like your wifi is using lot of battery juice.
Also try Googy kernel.

Its seems like when my mobile data is on, my battery is getting drained, my battery was almost drained at like 12, but lasted me the rest of the day when i switched off my data
it could be because Bittorrent sync wasn't disabled in data, but ill only know for sure tomorrow..
Here are my battery stats for today
I have been struggling with very high battery drain rate myself for long while. I even bought the fat and heavy 3000mha battery pack - samsung's official, to combat it and it still did not feel right.
Always HIGHEST battery draining cause if I let the phone idle a lot, is Android system, that's weird.
Finall I caved and tried better battery stats and just immediately looking at the core stuff in "android system" or so, seems it is Wifi wakelocking the phone.
Wait what, why is Wifi doing that?
Anyway, pretty much disabling wifi remedies that... THough I would prefer to use Wifi myself.
Whatever it is, and seeing it crosses over roms, even official though there it is least felt - It has something to do with samsung's wifi driver updates or something. I may be just silly for thinking maybe 9.0 that mine shipped with was so much better in that regard.
My hope is lost of samsung actually fixing this, all they seem to so is make it worse gradyally and increasingly.
TL;DR: Wifi is a bish.
Same issue.
I bought the i9300 a couples a day brand new. but i did replace the stock rom with others. and even it`s still a bit rubish, even in RAM. 10h of normal use and my battery is gone... and my RAM is only ~100mb free.

Did you turn mobile data off?
It looks like youve had over 4 hours no data.
Plus, lots of network related wakelocks multipdp... Shame we cant see what the deleted wakelocks are... l2_hisc is high too.
"deleted_wake_locks" (): 4 h 18 m 41 s (15521 s) Cntc/wc/ec)721540/0/9118 42,6%
"multipdp" (): 2 h 52 m 29 s (10349 s) Cntc/wc/ec)4071/0/4070 28,4%
"l2_hsic" (): 2 h 30 m 31 s (9031 s) Cntc/wc/ec)17053/3130/17052 24,8%
Yeah..I turned my mobile data off because after lunch my battery was at 20% and it lasted till I got back home at around 6..any suggestions? Anything else I could provide that would make it easier to diagnose the issue?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You need to try and "catch" whatever those deleted wakelocks are... You're going to have to manually keep an eye on BBS.
Personally, I would just factory reset teh device and start fresh.
Yeah..I'm going to do that now..hopefully that will sort the issue out..Will let you know the outcome..Thank You I really do appreciate your time

Also remember to use samsung's battery reserve option (i don't know the italian translation for english, it's that icon accessible from samsungs.notification that usually has the recycling or battery icon), because even though a phone can already be draining little battery (which is my case), that option can have a 50% improvement. Which is of course excellent if you can't charge your phone during the afternoon.

Hello Guys,
My rn3pro battery drainage is very high, it consume 20% of battery overnight. I have been having these problem from few days. I am just ignoring it, but the problem really irritates when you fully charged your phone and after using leave it on 80% and at the morning you found 60% and with open data it 58% i mean 2-3% difference. First i get this problem on miui 6.12.+ And then i use 7.1 rr unofficial and official both give me this problem and then because of no xposed i revert back to miui and now evey ver of miui has this problem, high battery drainage overnight. Then i think flashing kernel would help, so i flashed radon latest but nothing helps.
So, guys pls help me and this is happening from past few days and i have been using rn3 pro from 6 months neverhave that kind of problem. Never get the need to use apps like greenify, and when i checked battery status it shows android system and android as the culprit, but why now, why not before or from 6 months ago when i bought it. I am really irritated.
Anyone.......guys?

First of all try to find a reason why battery is draining. if you are experiencing drain on every rom then there might be a common personal app you used on all of them. If you are rooted then download "better battery stats" app and leave it for over night, it will tell you which app or wake lock is draining battery , for better understanding post screens of battery usage so that we could analyze it further. One thing is sure it must be a downloaded app, sucking battery overnight.
Also there are various settings to overcome battery usage of heavy apps such as google services. always deny location permission of app in privacy / permission settings. it will save atleast 15-20 % of total battery usage. further control autostart on apps like uc browser, clock , calendar as they too start in background and suck power,(p.s. uc browser is worst)

Now can you pls tell me whats draining the battery?
Because uc browser never before drained so much. Any solution without installing apps like greenify or naptime.

It's clearly seen that UcBrowser eat your battery. 2.5/hr is good though, and something was downloading about 1.3 hr in Uc thats why it was running in background. If you are using xposed then go for greenify, It is very effective. Other way is, as you are on custom rom, I would suggest you to try custom kernel if you want more battery backup (I am on rr-N and radon kernel, getting around 10 hrs SOT).

You dont understand bro (i know you do) but the thing is it never happened before and i always use uc browser. Last night when i installed this app i am downloading something and i fell asleep when i woke up in middle of the night then i close my data connection. But as i said before i am on miui 6.12.xx using radol kernel latest (i think it is 3.7), why uc browser is eating battery why not before is something wrong with the hardware or restoring backup from titanium cause it or anything else, the reason why this happening now. Bro in deep sleep i never lose more than 3% of battery power in whole night and now this percentage increased upto 10 times. And i always use uc browser, because of its downloading and site view. But it never sucked that kind of battery before after putting it on download al the night and miui force closes apps itself. And not only miui it happened on every custom rom i installed now a days.

So you had restored titanium backup of nougat to marshmallow or vice-versa? Some time it cause app crashing and many problems. Just try clean flash custom rom and select battery config in aroma installer of radon kernel. Then see if problem still persist. Or just donot restore titanium backup and clean install UC and see how mush it help. (Same to me, my CM13 Apps backup caused many problems in RR-N so after clean flash all well right now)

Thats what came to my mind. I am thinking restoring titanium backup causing uc or may be other apps to suck battery. Because it all started when i start restoring titanium backup. Now i will clean flash the rom. But one thing i wanted to know, does restoring only data from titanium will cause the same results?

Never tried this, but that should not cause any problems as in my case when I restored whole backup and faced app crashing problems was due to installed apk.

Clean flashed the phone at night, after putting alarm the battery reduces hardly 2-3% in whole night. But after installing uc battery started to increase faster and i love uc browser cant uninstall it.
no one is asking you to uninstall uc browser bro
download greenify and hibernate all apps before you go to sleep and go to security->permission->autostart and check that uc browser is not enabled
i am sure this will solve ur battery draining problem
Install fastboot rom latest beta and use it for 2 day and set it up... And then check
Guys i think i catched the culprit. There is an app in my phone named easydpichanger i use it to change my display dpi. When i got 7.x in my phone i changed it dpi to smallest i.e 336 and in miui used it on 330, and when i change it to 400 it stops eating battery (as default dpi is 480 which is way larger on a big screen). Now i am getting good battery backup
Thanks everybody.
Why do you use app for changing dpi?
Why not change in build.prop?
360dpi is HD , 480 is stock FHD

Bro why should i mess up with build.prop when i can do it with just single click
Use easydpichanger
Bro why would you need app for that if you can do that in build.prop...you are just wasting space + dpi changer is not as effective
Just add last line ro.sf.lcd_density=

Thanks bro i'll do this. But i dont get this that i cant change my dpi using texdroider and le dpi changer. It only changes with easy dpi changer app, i dont get this.
Btw, it is safe to mess i mean edit build.prop?
