I've noticed that lately (couple of months) my beloved Z4 tablet's battery performance is less than optimal.
I'm about to go through the song and dance of battery optimization, but I wanted to find abusive apps.
Here's what I see; battery is being consumed mostly by the bluetooth connection I keep on nearly 100% of the time I'm using my tablet because of the BK50 keyboard.
Is anyone experiencing something similar or has any recommendation?
thanks,

Im using lineage os and some gladly helped me out with battery im sure tis will work on stock rom no root too. Enable aeroplane mode, disable WiFi when screen is off and disable Bluetooth. Not sure why but I noticed WiFi greatly drains the battery having it off makes it last much longer.

I would try to upgrade to the latest ROM and hopefully some Bluetooth settings are reset after this.
If this does not help do a factory reset.
You could also try a search on "bluetooth reset" on xda.
I get several days of usage (reading, websurfing in the evenings) out of my tablet where Bluetooth is normally switched of.
On my SONY XZ where Bluetooth is on but only utilized in the car or sometimes with a headset it does not even make it to the list of battery drainers.

Just wondering if anyone has discussed anything about battery life with this specific ROM and using Juice Defender Ultimate (or not).
I've done a quick search and didn't find anything and I looked on the viperROM thread and I saw the dev claimed he got 19 hours of battery life on it. I'm only getting around 9hrs on it now.
Any ideas\suggestions?

Try calibrating Ur battery. JDU is good to use. Also grab autostarts and stop apps from running in the background. After calibrating your battery life should almost double.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
I use JD and Viper and no problems. Not real sure what my battery life is because I don't monitor it that much but if I take it off the charger at 6am by 4pm when I leave work it is usually around 75-80%. That is with probably an hour of podcast listening and a few other things like texts and phone calls. Not a power user but not completely ignored either.
It depends on usage... i ALWAYS make it a whole day. Light usage i made it more then two, with a bad wake lock that drained 20% before i noticed it.
I'm on Viper and I use not juice things. Here's the battery life I'm getting.

Download CPU Spy from the market and see if you have any widgets or apps preventing your phone from going into DEEP SLEEP.
Hi Guys,
Coming from a blackberry in the past, battery life hasnt been splendid for me at all. Having switched to sgs3, i am running the custom rom and kernel as stated on my siggy.
I am looking to have better battery life if possible. If you guys need more information let me know. I hope the single screenshot is enough.
Please comment if I am experiencing good battery life or not. I am also contemplating to download BetterBatteryStats to check my wakelocks.
Cheers,
Anjoid
P.S Feel free to post your battery life with a screenshot here as well, and I hope to learn more from that. and i cant seem to attach any file. when i click on attach, another window pops up that asks me to sign in. and when i do, it repeats the process.

Please do. There is a free APK of BetterBatteryStats here on Xda.
Since switching to Cyanogenmod9 with DXLF3 modem and Siyah Kernel, by standby battery drain has been between 1-2% with 3G and Sync enabled. It would be even somewhat better if it was von 2G. I also configured the kernel in ExTweaks for better responsiveness on the cost of battery life.
Please specify your usage and battery life. People who only use the phone for the odd phone call experience up to 5 days of battery life, while I usually have 20% left at the end of the day. Totally different usage scenarios.
Also make sure your network supports fast dormancy. To check, dial *#0011# on stock dialer (not Go Dialer!) and check the RRC state if the phone has not been transferring data for some time. It should state IDLE when the phone is connected to HSPA/3G.
I have an extremely strange problem with the battery of my s3. When I'm at home, where my signal is extremely poor I last roughly a day wasting 40/50% so that's after 15 hours of discharge. When I'm at work I.e walking taking the train etc, just generally at work my battery goes down 70%!!!!! In 5 hours with minimal use. Eg. Screen on for 20 minutes. Voice calls 10minutes. I can sometimes Ferrell that the s3 Is warm surely it can't be because of the fact it's in my pocket causing the s3 bather to start warming up. I have tried using better battery stats but it gives no reference set yet. Can someone please assist in how to check what the culprit maybe? GPS is off Google now is off. WiFi is off power saving is on. All apps have been closed. Is identical to what I have at home.
Run better battery stats look for wakelocks.

Better battery stats isn't working on s3. It says no reference point set yet. It's a common problem being faced by a lot of s3 owners regarding that app. The developer hasn't updated the ap
Wat. You must be doing something wrong. I recommend using v1.11.0.0. Proof below

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode

How much screen on time did you get?
Hello,
i recently upgraded my Nexus 9 to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow MRA58K) with the factory image. So the tablet was completly wiped. The system is completly stock, no root.
After that i'm experiencing very poor battery life (see attached screenshot). Basically, i unplugged the tablet this morning (at 100% battery) and it was lying around in the living room all the day, doing nothing and this evening the battery was down to 63%. Battery optimization is turned on.

I don't even know what the process "99113" is doing.
Any suggestions?

If there are only 3 things each using 1 % of the battery life then its sounds like the battery reader isn't properly calibrated. Let it run till it shuts off then plug it in and let it charge back up. If if that solves it. I am rooted but have no real changes that would effect power and I get 3-4 days on my 6.0 install.
As above post. If anything, I am getting better battery life with Marshmallow.

I'm getting better battery as well.....it does take a while for it to calibrate itself after the update.
Here is a screen cap of my battery life:

Okay, after "calibrating" it seems to be better.
But, what i noticed, there seems to be a massive battery drain when connected to a 5 GHz WLAN. Anybody seeing the same thing?

My battery life has been severely degraded as well after installing the OTA update to Marshmallow. I have not tried calibrating the battery and will try that after my battery drains to 0 and the device turns off.
Its better to charge your device before it runs out...
Factory Reset over Recovery
I had the same symptoms like running out of battery in one day doing nothing.
Problem was solved after a factory reset in recovery (Power+Down)
"Battery Calibration" did not work at all
