Hi, for a few days I'm using N26 Banking App in UK and I noticed massive battery drain. It's caused by wakelock AudioMix. It looks like app is keeping audio device on even when it's not active and phone is idle.
Now I'm wondering is caused by some errors in my phone or app itself is bugged?

Greetings Fellow XDA fans
So I have a very annoying problem
I have noticed that my device has been getting large amounts of battery drain in the last few months after using any sort of navigation app on it..
Software that has been tested is:
Google maps, Sygic, Route 66, Drive and Walk.
I have installed "bad ass battery monitor" which seems to show that even when the navigation is closed the orientation sensor seems to still be active.
I have since wiped the device and re-installed checkrom but have had no improvement in the issue.
I have attempted changing kernels and modems as well.
I am currently in Neak 1.4.2 and Checkrom v6
It seems that the only way to stop the drain after running a navigation app is to restart the device.
To be clear... I can simply open navigation for a second and then close it and this huge drain will begin to occure untill a device reboot, Even though I have turned off GPS in the phone settings.
Freezing the app is not a solution ether
Any Solutions would be most welcome??
Regards James
You got Latitude app switched by any chance as that is a known battery drainer .
jje
Nope.. Made sure I didn't go near latitude because i heard it eats the battery big time.
until a few days ago i was getting decent battery life but now battery easily drops around 40 percent overnight without any usage.. when i checked battery usage (I'm on IC) android system and google services had 21% each.. when i try to use amplify/unbounce from xposed, phone lags and random reboots and greenify doesn't help that much either...
is there something i can do?
Maybe you can try disable service and appopsxposed

Try disabling google now, turn off location, wipe cache and dalvik and check if the issue still persists. If yes, try downgrading google play services.
The best way to figure out battery drain is to install either better battery stats or wakelock detector and see which services/apps cause the drainage. I specifically stopped using and uninstalled google now (as much as I like it) and keep location tracking/gps off until I need it because of this very reason. Add in greenify and results are huge improvement in battery. Phones are useless if you don't have battery for its main purpose, phones calls and internet usage.

First of all, turning of location services and Google Now solved the problem for me. From now on I only turn on location services when I really need it (for example Google Maps)
Now another thing you could try is this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix
Seems to have fixed the problem for many (check the reviews)
After having run 'Better Battery Stats' for several days and after several recharges, these were the following apps causing battery drain. This includes partial wakeups, Alarms, network use and processes.
The top apps for biggest battery loss were:
Whatsapp
Beautiful Widgets
Firefox
Swiftkey Keyboard
Gmail
Life 360
Other apps causing slight to moderate battery drain:
Google Play Store/Services
Album
Battery Doctor
Devices
DS Battery Saver
Handset SMS
Power Amp
Surf Easy
Talkray
Despite force closing the apps, they keep re-opening even though the internet is not running and the phone is supposed to be asleep...
Greenify is even running 24/7 but doesn't seem to help with the above apps. Hibernating all the above apps seem to make little to no difference and high battery usage is still an issue...
On screen time is just 2 hours 36 minutes and battery is at 23% and draining very fast with no use at all.
Any other way to stop the above apps from draining so much battery?
I've tried many different roms, kernals and apps but battery drain is an issue regardless...
Just come back from lunch. Battery is now 17%
Why has it dropped from 23% to 17% over a 2 hour period? The phone has not even been touched since I left it in the office...
Is it possible I have a defective battery or would it be due to bad apps?

Hi.
I'm using Stock ROM (4.4.4). I have more than a hundred of apps installed and my battery time is more than 5 hours with heavy use (screen on). I can't even imagine how many days the battery could work with the screen off.
Is the weak battery mode activated? Is Stamina on? Have you checked your battery details on the config panel? And what about the internet use? Is auto-synch off or at least are you scheduling when the apps can download background data? What about the system statistics about background data?
Are the GPS and bluetooth off when you're not using them? Please also remember wifi use way less battery than other mobile connections; that battery goes away faster with more brightness on the screen; and that you can get some more minutes if you let the auto-rotate off.
Have you checked if some app is preventing the "deep sleep" state?
If I was on your shoes, I'd uninstall all the 3rd-party battery utilities (even Greenify!) and I'd restart my Z Ultra.
^ Thanks for the reply Andre Verissimo. I too have 4.4.4 stock rom and only around 25 apps installed...
Stamina mode (power saving mode) is on 24/7 and brightness is set to around 50%.
I never use GPS/Satellite, bluetooth or data/mobile connection...
Auto sync and backround data are disabled...
I did track apps causing high usage. They were whatsApp, Firefox, Google Play, Battery Doctor & DS Battery Saver.
I'll try uninstalling several apps and see if it helps...
Seems I finally solved the battery leak issue.
I prevented bad apps from auto starting as well as to close once the phone has been put to sleep.
In other words, the battery will only be drained when in use. However, the phone appears to be in deep sleep since I manually set 'Battery Doctor' to kill/close apps when not in use as well as stop them from auto starting...
Only the battery draining apps have been selected to do so...
My phone has been on for 24 hours hours and my battery is still 85%
I will monitor battery usage over the next couple of days and report back with any update.
Regarding Beautiful Widgets: Are you talking about the free version or the paid one?
I am on the paid one (Pro) and it shows up as 0.3% on GSAM Battery Monitor. If you have experienced drain on that version, I will look for a different clock widget then (i.e. that it actually drains noticeably but in such a way that it doesn't show up as such).
I have the impression that the free version of Beautiful Widgets could be a drainer since it seems to be very happy to push a lot of ads and stuff.
Will try Battery Doctor and compare with Greenify.
Edit: I think Greenify is working properly on my device, i.e. it hibernates the apps properly.
your network signal greatly affects your battery and that will not show up on your battery usage stats

I'm on the paid version of Beautiful Widgets. The app has only affected my Processes. Usage is 9% . However, there are no alarms or wakeups from the app since I disabled them both using per app hacking...
I will search for an alternative to Greenify to hibernate apps. Only 3-4 apps are opening despite force closing and even preventing startup, alarms and wakeups...
Regardless of what I do, the following apps continue to run and launch even when not opened:
Photo Analyzer software
Mirror Link System
Devices
WhatsApp
Xperia extension for throw
Sweep Panorama
Creative effects
Camera
Albums
Screen Mirroring
How can I prevent the above apps from automatically launching and running? I blocked all listed programs from launching using both Battery Doctor & per app hacking yet they still re-open and run...

Very true. Where I work, reception is VERY poor since I'm in a large factory high up...
I can't find what's causing this stair-like battery drain graph!!
I'm not rooted.
i left my overnight with wifi Off, always-on off, and all apps closed... I can lose up to 30-40%.
That kind of drain doesn't happen all the time though!
what is causing this...?
I would first get rid of Facebook, Facebook messenger, Foursquare, Yelp etc.. If you have other location based social apps.. Them too.
You don't see the app responsible in the list because it is probably wakelocks that keeps your G5 from entering deep sleep.

I think I found out the culprit. It's the Mobile Network (even with Data OFF!!)
I woke up at 3 am and saw the same graph, then I went to airplane mode, and the battery drain disappeared...
But then, that sucks!
Gotta test the different network modes to see what really cause the drain... (Most likely 3G or LTE)

Low signal causes battery drain, that's true. Do you have low signal at your house?
Interested
Hola,
Im interested on this i have the same issue could you find a solution?
Hi guys,
I am using micromax canvas 5 e481 android lollipop stock rom and custom recovery rooted xposed. For last few days my phone battery is draining a lot while phone is idle. I installed better battery stats which shows zero deep sleep and 99% as awake. But wakelocks doesn't show any culprit. The wakelock detector shows suspend battery wakelock most of the part. But i can't find any such wakelock on net. The stock battery usage shows phone idle as the 40%. I have used greenify, juice defender, power nap, app ops xposed deep sleep battery saver no wakelock. But nothing is helping. Set wifi and location services to off stopped google play services disabled system update services but still no luck. A few days back while experimenting it started to go in deep sleep but again it disappeared and now no luck at all. Can't attach the screenshots as newbie here. I would greatly appreciate if anybody could help. Thanks.
