I have an 32GB, MDK, SCH-I545, RUNNING Echoe ROM v29 & TWRP.
The last few days Android System & OS are the top two on the battery use percentage scales. It even got fairly hot, yesterday.
I've tried deleting recently installed apps and Xposed modules, clearing Dalvic and cache.
I'm tinkering with Greenify, Wakelock Detector and App Ops Starter, in an attempt to get things under control. I've turned off wake for Google Play Services.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I used Better Battery Stats to figure out what has draining my battery like crazy. After 15 hours, this patial wakelock kept my phone up for nearly 6 hours!!! My phone is a LG P769V20D (Optimus L9), locked bootloader, and tweaked stock ROM. Almost fully debloated (kept gmail).
Is there an alternative fix to this? I froze Google Services Framework, but then the play store won't work until I defrost it. In addition, it causes the appearance of another wakelock called "Icing." It doesn't run as often as Event Log, but still runs a decent amount of time (~1 hour in less than 24 hours of battery discharge).
Any ideas?
Edit: I think I found a solution!!! Turns out that Xposed Installer has a nifty app called Per App Hacking. It enables the user to either prevent wakelocks or simply delay the rate at which the wakelocks occur. In my case, I prefer to delay since I do use Gmail, Maps and the Play Store. Thank goodness for Xposed!
Hey. I've got a problem... Due some circumstances I installed a new android to my SGS2 (CM11 Android 4.4.3 for Galaxy S2! [GT-i9100/SGH-i777]). Since that it's draining battery as hell... Well you will say that's a big screen and stuff... But it wasn't like that with the old 4.3 and older versions... And not just that, earlier it heated up only with super hard games so I didn't played them, but now a simple game burns the temp of my phone up to the skies... I don't know what to do... I wan't to stay up to date with stable android releases but it kills the phone...
What does battery usage tell you ? what recovery are you on ? cyanogenMod works best with clockwork mod ...
Well, the google play services take's about 50% of battery, I guess it's that voice search widget on the main screen that's impossible to disable, or just I don't know how to do it. I am on clockworkmod but don't know on what version....
I don't know this statistic is for how long usage but google play services can't (shouldn't) use 50% ... the voice widget can be disabled by holding anywhere free in the screen to bring up wallpaper - widget menu . just pull up the 3 dots and you have a whole new options to mess around ... including searchbar searchpanel . any system apps including google play , maps , services can be accessed and empty their cache or ultimately disabled ... just look for it in setting - app - all (not running).
[Re:]
Backup everything you have through recovery.
Wipe data, cache (Dalvik and user cache), this is done through recovery.
Install again the ROM.
Hope this helps!
Good luck
Could it be that one of my processors are dead? Because in Battery Doctor app you can watch your cpu work, and the first one is functional, but the second one is always sleeping...?
Try undervolting and underclocking. The heating problem is prolly because of highly clocked cpu ..

Did you try better battery stats? It should show you what draining your battery. In the past I've had problem with Google+. So I've just deleted it and everything was back to normal.
Ok so for the life of me I cant figure out why my battery is draining so fast its literally draining about 10% an hour if not more. If tried a bunch of different tools to try and monitor it but nothing is really standing out as a main culprit. I recently had my phone replaced and I had them send a new battery just for the heck of it. Also I even tried putting Hyperdrive Roms on my phone and that did not help. So I debating on whether to go back to stock and just root and see what happens again after just removing bloatware.
I tried looking up battery tips but really haven't found anything recently. I only got my phone in May of this year. Any suggestions or links would greatly help I love my phone but cant stand the battery life. I miss my Droid Razr Maxx

Not sure but I think its a Kit Kat issue. I recall having more battery life on JB than on Kitkat with my S4.
There are lots of things you can do.
System Settings
•WiFi - change sleep policy from ALWAYS (staying on) to either "Only when plugged in" or "never"
•Account Sync - under my Google account(s) I only keep CONTACTS and GMAIL checked...the rest unchecked
•Motions, Smart Features, Gestures, Air - Turn ALL of this crap off!
•Animation Scaling- In Developer Options - I use these settings: Window Animation=OFF/ Transition Animation=0.5x/ Animator Duration=0.5x
In-App Settings
•Play Store - In settings, change Auto-Update Apps to Never...you can do this manually from time to time. If not, it'll just always scan.
•App Ops - This can be a little tedious, but go through your apps (especially under Location) and turn location off on whatever you think doesn't need it! You may want to test out each app to be sure it is functioning properly before you move on to the next app. This makes it much easier to go back and enable it again if you see its needed. Most of the Google apps are gonna need it.
Freeze or Uninstall System Apps
•Check out my thread on which system apps you can remove here
***I recommend using NoBloat to make your changes with:good:
Additional apps & Xposed modules to check out
•Greenify - Hands down my favorite battery saving app. If you don't know it, that's why your battery life sucks! Seriously though, GET IT!
•Greenify Donation (Xposed) - Adds several more features, such as allowing system apps to be greenifiable! Also works well with WakeLock Detector
•WakeLock Detector - Helps determine which apps are waking up your phone while its asleep...allows you to prevent future wakeups.
•Gsam Battery Monitor Pro - Not sure if the free version lets you use the monitoring feature or not, but basically it is like a glorified battery usage graph (like in system settings)
•BootManager - Xposed module allowing you to select which apps are able to run in startup. Not sure how it compares with Greenify, but I just use both
•Prevent Running - Also similar to Greenify. I'm in the process of checking this one out, so don't hold me to it being great.

This is good info thanks. I am doing most of it such as Greenify, etc. Wakelock Detector I have no clue how to use though. I open it up and its like chinese to me any tips on using that? I did not realize the play store is always scanning for updates...interesting. The only thing I see disturbing is that security is the thing I see most used even after shutting the phone off and turning it back on in Usage Timelines. I am rooted and Knox is disabled so im wondering what is causing the high usage on this.

WakeLock detector works great for exactly what you're trying to figure out. Check out the WakeLock guide, it'll show you exactly what it's role is. Once you have it installed, you will sometimes see a scissors icon in Greenify when you have something listed under NOT hibernating or pending...click it! You'll see the option for Greenify to "cut-off" the process chain...this prevents further wakeups from what had specifically started up the process. I highly recommend you take a look at gsam battery monitor (I think that's the name), it will also give you details on which processes are killing your battery.
I am not positive but I think you can disable that security process without any issue. You may want to Google that though.

Short answer...WakeLock only detects, you decide what you need to STOP from there. But there are apps that can utilize WakeLock to detect those battery killers and stop, freeze or remove processes or apps for you...such as Greenify.
Also, I can't stress enough how worth it it is to buy Greenify's experimental features, as it will allow you to get deeper into the whole Greenifying thing!! Hell yes it does:good:

Yes I pretty much have everything that people have suggested including the experimental version of Greenify. I am running Wakelock Detector, GSAM Battery Monitor, Usage Timelines.
However I am still seeing this Security Process running at about 6% and about 82.45 MB. I am not really experiencing any drain when the phone is sleeping.

Can u post a screenshot of gsam's monitor section? Its the part that has the list of usage...looks similar to the battery monitor screen in Android settings.
Ok so after the Lollipop update my battery life has been less than stellar. On kit kat i would usually have around 40% battery life left at the end of a day with medium use but now with lollipop I'm ending the day closer to 15% with the same use. This is usually with between 2 and 3 hours SOT. The only thing I've noticed that is any different is google services seems to be using more battery than normal, not a ton but more. Also i cant seem to get it to go into low battery use in location setting, it always stays on high battery use even when in battery savings mode. Anyone with thoughts on this?
Have you tried using greenify? It stops apps from refreshing in the background and if you buy the pro version you can stop system apps from refreshing. You may want to try this xposed module it will go and save major battery. I personally am on barepop (I uninstalled some extra apps though) and have both apps running in the background and I it takes about 10 minuates for the battery to die by even 1%. By the time I wake up and use my phone with heavy use all day long (6am-4pm est) I get home without about 60-65% of battery. You may also want to turn things off when your not using them such as data/nfc and bluetooth.

I am not rooted and am trying to stay that way, at least for a while. I do have greenify but only the free version so it is kind of limited. I haven't found any wakelock detectors that work without root so i cant get any real specifics on whats causing the drain. I just find it strange that google services will not go into low battery mode.
Try this guide it should allow you to stop apps from running in the background:http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2trjxf/xpost_rlgg3_the_g3_has_a_hidden_nonroot

thanks, ill look into it
OK Best of luck.
Nothing in there for anything related to Google services. I don't know why it wont go into low battery usage, i checked all my Google settings and still cant figure it out.
Ok, well today i decided to just uninstall updates for google services, reboot, install the updates, and reboot again. And after dealing with the phone telling me there was no sim card twice, everything seemed to go back to normal, no more high battery usage from google services.
Real head scratcher this one!!
RN3 pro SD650 practically had it since day one of its release
Was using CM 13/14 and radon kernel all along
Always used to boast to all of my friends as i would regularly get 8-10 hours screen on time
Currently on the 03/29 build of LOS (TheStrix), radon 4.3, greenify
Getting 2-3 hours screen on time, i am a light user i dont use any social media apps
I have noticed this since jumping on the Nougat upgrade
Apps installed: Adaway, magisk, chrome, greenify, ES file pro, google maps, sdmaid pro, Mihome (camera at home)
Phone idle and LineageOS System are consuming 30% of the battery between themselves
I use my phone as i have always used it, have not changed anything apart from using magisk whereas previously i used the built in root with CM
I am not a new user who needs simple advice, I hopefully can figure out what is happening in the background
I dont really want to install a wakelock detector etc
I have even tried to reset app preference in the hope that will help
Whereas usually i would have a straight line on my battery graph with the slight dip now it is a constant dip
Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Install wakelock detector see if anything stands out. Are the CPU's going into deep sleep? That sort of drain says otherwise.
