I tested this with different watches and different apps and the result is always the same - there are almost constant Bluetooth wakelocks (BetterBatteryStats reports over 50%) and hence battery drain - but only when the watches are NOT connected. When the watches are connected - everything is fine!
I am running rooted Android 10 and tried to manually put the smartwatch apps in the Sleeping apps and Deep sleeping apps (Device care > Battery > App power management) but the result was absolutely the same. Only when I uninstall the apps, the Bluetooth wakelocks and battery drain stop.
This is driving me mad because I have to keep the watched turned on at all times, because otherwise will face battery drain. Has anyone had the same problem? Any idea of how to solve it will be much appreciated.
Can you not simply set it to go to sleep when not in use? (Through >device manager >battery)
I know it's possible because I had the same problem with my girls phone a while back, just can't remember how exactly I fixed it, but it turned out to be pretty simple...
Thank you but I did this as I have described and it desn't help.

I understand all these battery drain issues that the prime has been having but haven't actually had them, until now. I used to lose about 2-3% overnight but suddenly I am losing around 15% because it won't sleep. I go into the battery setting and it shows it been awake the whole time. Now I am sure if I looked around I may find a fix but it just seems a bit odd that it has just suddenly occurred. And its not a wifi drainage issue as I usually put it to sleep at power saving mode and wifi off. Just asking why?
Thanks,
I think it could be the Asus weather widget which I had set at 1 hour refresh rate.
if this just recently occured out the blue, likely a rougue app or something you recently installed. an app running in background or sync is likely the culprit.
Just put Skype on it but that's not signed in most of the time
every android tablet and phone i have does this occasionally, and those occasions are when i either play video or music. some of these media players employ a wakelock that will not disable after you put your device to sleep. sometimes a reboot will work, sometimes not. most of the times the reboot keeps it from draining. even force quitting all my media apps wouldn't work.
so basically i reboot every time i use any type media player so i don't get the drain - netflix doesn't require it, dice and just about every music player does. i'm not sure it this may be your problem, but it may be a possible solution.
I find that making sure to check the last two settings under Asus Customized Settings helps this. I was waking up in the morning to find my dock dead everyday before I checked those two settings. The only down side is when I turn the screen on and wake it up, it takes about 5-10 seconds to connect to the wifi. No biggie.
Use better battery stats and see what is causing it. I have read that skype does drain battery pretty bad. And even if you're not connected it still runs in the background at start up. Another app I would recommend is Autostarts. It allows you to disable apps at start up. I know system tuner is free and has the same functionality but I find Autostarts better. With ST, you just disable the app at start up, with Autostarts you can disable it at start up, shutdown(which some apps fire when the tab is being shut down and other system events), also other events. Like some apps fire up when you get a text, or when your connection changes etc.. I just think Autostarts has more options.
Also dev Entropy has a thread in the GS2 forums about know battery drainers. Some of it applies specifically to the GS2 but there are a bunch of general battery killers listed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
If you go to setting and battery it should show you which is using the most battery. The first one on top. If its android system, you can click on it and it will show you a list of whats been using your battery which may point you to the culprit. In my case, media was the only thing in the list. And I know if an SDcard is inside my dock it will drain battery. So after removing it the drainage went away. Havent had the drain issue since. Again yours might be different so check the battery usage.
Thanks for the feedback guys, the first thing i am gonna do is charge it up after it fell flat right up to 100% then try some suggestions. I am thinking a reboot could help it.

There are quite a few threads on this already including what I wrote (pasted below).
<<<<
I had two types of standby battery drain - mobile data and wifi. I have fixed both of them through lots of trial and error. From my testing and looking on XDA at similar experiences of people on other phones, these are bugs in Android rather than anything Elephone can fix through updates (I'm on the latest 20160419 update).
I fixed the mobile data problem by creating Tasker profiles to keep the phone on 2G whilst it's connected to wifi. I can't post links yet but a search on XDA/Google will find you these profiles. Maintaining a 4G connection is unnecessary whilst on wifi, besides, some people have problems receiving calls on this phone whilst on 4G. If the phone is not connected to wifi (rare in London because it's everywhere even on public transport) 4G comes on. Best of both worlds.
The wifi drain solution sounds counterintuitive but it is simply to set it to 'always on'. With both of these measures, my standby drain has been 1% overnight for the last two nights and roughly 0.25%/hour during the day. Standby drain on 4G whilst moving around London with location on at least quadruples battery drain to around 1-2%/hour.
Some of my other settings will have an impact too. I find the auto-brightness calibration of the P9000 poor, so adjust brightness manually (which also saves battery life). NFC, bluetooth, etc. I only turn on when needed. I use Greenify and have all apps Greenified except Tasker, Textra, and Hangouts. I haven't Greenified any system apps except Google Maps. Location is always on but mostly device only (again counterintuitive, you'd expect it to be 'battery saving') unless I am moving around in which case I have a Tasker profile to automatically switch it to 'high accuracy'.
I tried to get Xposed working so that I could use Amplify too (see my other post) but that didn't work. Since I'm very happy with battery life now that's not that important anymore though it would be nice for the further tweaks it makes possible.
There are too many other variables to list and everybody's phone is set up differently. However, hopefully using some of the main big gains I've listed above you can fix your wifi drain specifically and improve standby drain generally.
Well, it's somewhat problably what keeps the phone awake, this occurs after factory reset, i already did the Tricks you've listed and on screen Features and so on are all off, there are no Apps who should keep the phone awake Cause it's happening Straight after factory reset so there are no other Apps..
Push
Finger print sensor or DT2W for sure. Disable them
On the latest ROMs it is the finger print sensor. Turn it off or go back to 20160810
Hi,
I'm having battery issues with OPX again, first it was a faulty battery, but now it looks like the there's something wrong with the settings. The device loses about a third of it's battery overnight, but when I look at the stats I can see that WiFi is always on and the device is always awake!
I have installed naptime as well and told it to ignore sensors (not that it matters as the device is not moving overnight) and to sleep even if connected to a charger etc. No matter what I try the device is always awake.
Is there a way to find out what is keeping it awake?
When I look at usage since last full charge there's nothing unusual there, just regular apps and single digit percentage numbers.
Thanks for your help!
System version?
I'm on Android Marshmallow, using Resurrection Remix ROM.
I'm not quite sure how to use the wakelock blocker, but I just installed Wakelock detector and it shows TripAdvisor as #1 on the list. I have it blocked in notifications, but I can't find anything related to TripAdvisor in wakelock blocker.
Is there any way to prevent apps from keeping the system awake, or should I just unintall TripAdvisor completely?
Not sure if I'm on the right track, but something is keeping the system awake and I need to find out what
OS3 with google back up turned off I get zero drain. Maybe 2-3℅ max over night. Also turned off automatic updates playstore. With just those two things off dont see drain anymore might just be lucky.
Well I think I'm back on normal drain. I uninstalled TripAdvisor, not using it except when I'm on holidays. I disabled the option to keep WiFi on even during sleep.
I used wakeblocker to block all weather/facebook entries, and I have two gmail accounts, one which is use a lot and one which I don't - so I blocked all wakelocks from syncing the account I don't use often.
Battery history confirms device is now correctly going to sleep and turning off WiFi. Automatic updates are still on.
I probably blocked too much, but I don't care anymore, I have 30% more battery every morning and that's good enough for me

Which ROM and recovery do you use?
Hi guys, this is not the thread where you'll find fancy kernel tweaks to improve battery. I'll share a few little things I personally follow that considerably improved battery life for me. You don't even need root
If you use any other battery saving placebo like greenify or wakelock blocker, then you're on your own. I don't recommend these
Follow each of these steps -
1. Turn OFF pocket detection, screensaver and ambient display.
(AD is upto your preference, doesn't drain battery much)
2. Set location to device only mode.
(DE mode uses GPS satellites and gives enough accuracy, high accuracy mode keeps bluetooth and wifi scanning on, draining battery)
3. Turn location permission off for google app.
(drains alot of battery)
If possible disable location for every app except maps and google play services.
(tracks your device when it's lost)
4. Go to location settings, scanning and check whether bluetooth and wifi scanning are off, if not, turn them off.
5. Go to battery, performance and turn off automatic optimization.
6. Most important step, reboot your phone after doing all this.
That's it guys, try this and report Suggestions are welcome
Good Tips.
Very nice

I have done all these except 6 point (once per day). Plus I have installed greenify. But still battery drain in most of the ROMs. Even if I won't use my phone, the battery is draining fast. I have turned location off (always)

Before greenify, it was like 5% drain per 10 minutes even if I won't use phone

Just try that bud
actually the thing is that kernel is not proper for any ROMs for which there is a battery drain...
changing kernels will be battery saving because of CPU tweaks running always in the background even if the device's screen is off...
use greenify in magisk for more if you dont want to tweak with your kernel...
do this and tell if your battery drain is solved... also follow these steps above.. they are mandatory as well...
it doesnot work well for resurrection remix ROMs... i have tried... maybe fixed by change in kernel tweaks...
For some weird reason my device doesnt go deep sleep anymore. The battery graph use to to be flat but now therea a slight steep when i am asleep. I still do my usual habit of turn of wifi, turn off location, turn of sync, turn off scanning for bluetooth and wifi, turn off locatiom history. I am on stuart's los 14.1. this started to happen two days ago. You know the best app to troubleshoot?screen and lineageos system and android is on top of battery stats when checking after waking up overnight.i have no addon or other tweaks. Not even greenify because battery graph overnight is flat before.

Where I can see you're doing wrong is turning things on and off. The steps mentioned in thread do not break a single thing. Keep location as device only mode forever (no on off required).
Just follow those steps for atleast one cycle and report

Ill try. Ive been doing this for a long time since teammex releases builds. And since the first build of stuart got no problem up to the second build.by the way i am.only turning on location once in awhile if i need navigation. Only wifi and data connection is frequently turned off and on. The rest is off 90% of the time

Battery drain issue
Any one having a battery drain problem ........Go to magisk( if not installed plz find the tread and do it)....Then download Enable Doze ..... Optimize Google play services and Google app and see if it is fixed......Worked for me
Very nice practical advice. However, greenify is not a fancy placebo. Together with Leandroid, and only following no.1 and 4 of your guide, battery almost doesnt drain at all on my snapdragon Xiaomi when idle. For my MTk xiaomis, I have to flash the drain fix in addition to get the same results as the snapdragon variants.
Anyway, good advise.
It's a stock T-Mobile LG G5. I get around 2-2.5h SOT. Overnight it drops the battery by 8-11%. There are 34 screenshots in the ZIP file below, showing GSAM Battery monitor and BetterBatteryStats data. I've never used BetteryBatteryStats before so if someone could help me identify the culprit I'd greatly appreciate that.
The signal strength is excellent and the always-on display is disabled. The bluetooth and GPS are always enabled. I should mention that last week I put the phone in Airplane mode and the drain stopped, but obviously it's not a solution.
1.) why do you know, that the gsm signal is excellent? Because you can see 5 stripes in the notification bar? That is not real! I can see 5 stripes too, but this at 15 ASU.
But 100% signal is = 30 ASU! So this result can differ even you believe you can see 100 signal quality.
2.) my system is running on 20p. No BT and no Wlan (no NFC) with 8% for 24Std. (150 user apps installed)
3.) wifi and G-Mail polling sucks much battery power too! you should switch it of to compare! or is it real necessary to be on over the night???
4.) what’s about the google fitness app? this app needs power to check the sensors.
5.) Twitter; Google; G-Mail; Fotos are syncing many times! You can see together more then 800 wake ups!
no wonder that this together will suck your battery empty!
i would suggest you to switch off BT and W.Lan over the night! This should spend a lot of battery power too! Same for syncing and background data traffic.
Try to use 3C Battery Monitor app. there you can see the power consumption every 10 min in the night.
read this too! -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74381087&postcount=327
I have 55 ASUs, so the connection is not the problem. Last night it only drained by 1%. I had both Bluetooth and GPS enabled so I don't think they are the problem either. Twitter, Gmail also were enabled and they actually pulled and displayed some notifications, yet the drain was minimal.
What I think sometimes happens is Google app or Play Services goes crazy starts waking up the phone for no reason. Would you agree based on the screenshots? Or could it be some bug in the OS that does this?
