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.

Hello everyone,
Today I noticed that my Galaxy S3 had huge battery drain.So I used GSAM battery from playstore in order to find out which app drains my battery and CPU Spy PLUS to check deep sleep time. Unfortunately I could not find anything helpful. BUT I noticed that every time I unclok my screen, juice defender icon disappears and appears again.So I checked its full log and I found out some errors. I use Android Revolution HD v18+Stock/Perseus Kernel v30.1+JB Domination Theme v1.5.5.Screenshot is attached.Any help would be appreciated.
JD drains battery well known multiple posts on the subject .

Try uninstalling and reinstall

Hey,
When I had JB i intalled a modded build.prop from a user here, and I got extremely good results. Now I changed to CM11 with my Xperia Sola and I noticed how my battery wasn't as good as before... Is there any solution to improve my battery with Xposed modules, apps, or anything else? I know that you shouldn't be running apps in the background etc.

It's really hard to just make a blanket statement like, "Yea, this mod/tweak/app/etc will definitely help you get battery life." If it were, then so many people wouldn't be on here looking for solutions. No 2 phones are gonna get the same kind of battery life for a ton of different reasons. Sometimes it's the kernel, sometimes it's apps that sync too much, sometimes location services get out of hand, sometimes the radio version doesn't mix well with the update you are on or the area you are in, maybe some 3rd party apps don't play nice with others, and so on and so forth. Best thing to do is run some apps that might help pinpoint what is keeping the phone awake (wakelocks). Better Battery Stats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 , Wakelock Detector http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179651 , GSAM Battery Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en or something along those lines. Once you figure out what is causing it, then you can start to look for solutions. Good luck!
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?
Try using naptime in the playstore had good results. Use kernel wakelock detector to see what's using your battery

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)

Thanks bro, now installed the app, will post the ss at morning.
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?
Hello Everyone....When 1st got my phone few days later i am facing huge battery drain issue 4-5% per but that was fix by doing firmware update by lgup.
But now i am facing per hour 1% battery drain issue. Hence i did some testing with my mother low end Huawei Honor 7c phone by installing same apps.
Here is the result-
Lg v60 wifi & data both off—-3hours 1% drain, wifi on——1% per hour.
Huawei wifi & data both off—6hours 1% drain, wifi on——3hours 1% drain
Please guys help me. I am really frustrated.
I just got mine with dual screen and noticed same problem. It's a T-mobile version and i forgot how bloated carrier's variant were.
This will help, no root needed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/
Not sure which model you got, but I deleted all T-mobile apps and most LG.
Noticed an improvement right away.

Mine is t-mobile also.
I kept 2 tmobile (t-mobile & t-mobile diagnostic) apps because i have huge battery drain 4-5% battery drain before. Then i have to reflash my firmware. I don't know whether those 2 are causes it or not. Though i also debloated some other apps also.
One weird thing yesterday i put many lg stock & system apps to battery restrict because those apps running in background & uses my 7% (all of them weird!) battery
& detach my dual screen.
Battery was superb as it suppose to be...then i attach my dual scree no drain was found.
But today i am facing same issue.
Can you please tell me which other apps you debloat (disable or uninstall?) & how many days you have been using since debloat?
I am happy (sad) to see some other person facing same issue, coz i posted it on reddit also & some of the imbecile told me it's normal.

I don't remember exactly what I deleted but pretty much everything from T-mobile and LG. My theory is if it has an icon, it's safe to delete. The important stuff will have a gear icon.
That app allows for backup before deleting so not much worry.
If it's stock it's safe to delete any of them as a factory reset will restore them.
Best to try to know exactly what your deleting though... dependencies, dependencies, dependencies.
The carrier apps are probably safe to ditch unless you use them. Be careful with any having to do directly with the phone app or connectivity.
I prefer using a package disabler as it's easy to experiment without consequences.
Ditch FB, WhatsApp, etc... trashware.
Turn off wifi when not in use.
Any cloud apps suck battery including Google backup Transport. Disable Google Firebase and all Google, carrier, manufacturer and app feedback.
Temporarily disable Google play Services and see if this helps. Screen brightness and resolution settings matter, both can suck battery.
Adjust to what you need to use the device effectively.

Bummer.blackhawkI always disable google stock apps.
Are you using tmobile variant also?
Do you use ds case?
Please post the ss what are the apps you have put disable on package disabler.

I have a Samsung with AT&T. Some of the same issues may apply though as far as Google apps and such. Which is why I mentioned this.
