Hey everyone, after three charge cycles my battery only lasts about 12 hours with moderate use (short voice calls, SMS, push e-mail on, Exchange e-mail on, Facebook and Twitter sync on, Flipboard).
I checked better battery stats and I have some wakelocks:
Kernel Wakelocks:
multipdp 47 minutes
Secril_fd-interface 30 minutes
Partial Wakelocks:
Audio Out-1 18 minutes
Can any of you confirm if you are seeing the same wakelocks? How do I get rid of them? My phone is able to go into deep sleep mode but there are times that the screen is off but the phone is active and I'm sure it's because of the wakelocks.
Appreciate any feedback.

are from apps updating all the time (like facebook, rss readers, ...)
you should deinstall all these apps and install one by one to check which app causes the wakelock
Thanks for the advice. I do need Facebook and Twitter to sync and update real time though.
What I did do is disable background sync for my news readers- namely Pulse, Currents, as well as Flipboard.
Hopefully this helps extend my battery life!

If you take this to the BBS app thread you will probably get more help.
Could anyone tell me which is causing me battery drain on sleep mode?
Thanks in advance

I have noticed weird behaviour of my Lenovo A1000 tablet and I would like to find out is it normal (I was finding similar topic but I've not found).
When I charged device fully and unplugged it, battery discharges slowly by about 24 hours. After about 12 hours from disconnection battery is 98%, next 12 hours - 95-96%. Afterwards, it discharges much faster, for example - before night it is 95%, in morning it is 83%. Sometimes it falls 20%.
I installed Wakelock Detector. By first 24 hours, it says that there was 1 screen wakelock: Android System - keyguard triggered several times and it lasted several seconds (always less than 20). When my battery is being drained, WD says that this wakelock lasted above 1 hour.
Is it normal, or something drains my battery, or battery sensor/indicator is low quality?
Tablet doesn't have 3G modem; Wi-Fi is turned off when device is asleep; turned on sync: Gmail, calendar, contacts (photos, G+, Facebook, Twitter etc are turned off); positioning is turned off (GPS, Wi-Fi); Google Now is disabled; all apps are up to date.
Screenshots from WD (I can't post links/images)
Code:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/Screenshot_2014-03-17-09-30-04.png?_subject_uid=24876864&w=AAAjhx_75AbxIilfSy2o5mvJnmW9bLuHhjnAwLvqmV3D7w

OK, I've done some tests. Battery is drainded when Wi-Fi is turned on and lost connection, even when it is set to switch off when asleep. When I make device asleep and turn off my Wi-Fi router, tablet is awake during that time and it can't go into deep sleep. I uninstalled apps like Facebook etc. and it didn't help, hence it is not problem with app sync (unless Google services).
Does anybody know where is the problem?
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...
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?
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Google Pixel 4's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Really good standby drain for me. Around 0.7-1. %
The standby.. Everytime is different.
Sometimes i get 10% overnight. Sometimes 6%. Sometimes 7-8%. And last night 2% (for 7h).
Wifi always on, motion sense on, AOD off, adaptive battery on, phone flat on display

turn off adaptive battery and your standby time will be closer to the post before you

Tried one night. It was about 8% for 8h..
And last night it drained 5% in 9h, with adaptive battery on

this is with 60hz.. check to see if wifi scanning is on. even if you turn it off and you use an app that asks you to turn location on like Google maps. if you hit yes it will automatically turn wifi scanning back on. I also turn off auto sync and sync things manually when I choose too.
Thanks for the reply.
How is going in prolonged standby? I've observed that when commuting it drains more battery. Even if i am using location history that's a bit too much, because most of the time i am not moving. I am just placing the phone on my desk.

Turning the wifi and Bluetooth scanning off are among the first things I do when i setup a device.
I need auto sync.
I've just turned off "mobile data always on" from developer options and will see if it helps or not.

having location history on shouldn't affect the battery, it's just storing history.
it'll turn back on though if an app requests for location and you press yes. for ex. use Google maps and it'll probably ask for location to be turned on even if you have location on already. if you press yes it'll turn on wifi scanning.
I do the same. turning off mobile data always on should help.
the standby drain usually comes from play services, but it could also be an app that was downloaded. from my experience, it's usually play services.. yeah if you need autosync then it is what it is. because even if your phone is face down it's still going to use your cpu. it's probably better for you to turn adaptive battery on, but you should limit/restrict your apps manually, instead of letting it notify you when it thinks an app is running too much in the background. I know a pixel 3 user that was using adaptive battery with 30 apps restricted and it was working for him. I never restricted apps manually when I had adaptive battery on. that could be the reason adaptive battery never worked for me. my play services would be higher than 5%, sometimes even 15%-20% with it on. now I rarely go over 4%
these pics are from my 3. it also depends on your reception, there aren't any battery saving tips for that , except to put it in airplane mode.
one more thing is to calibrate your battery. I understand that li-ion batteries don't have memory like nickel. but I think it something to do with the OS storing the battery capacity or something.
charge your phone to 100, drain it till it turns off. plug it in and charge it to 100. unplug turn it on and repeat the steps 1 more time. this helps especially on big updates.
the battery becomes more efficient and consistent. when I updated to 10 from pie my battery would drain quickly to like 50% and then below that it would slow down.
I am roaming right now and connected to a WiFi network with dual band on the same SSID. It's frustrating how much the battery drains when idling!
7% loss in less than 2h completely idle..
From 95% to 88% in 1h40 of standby!
I have no access to the router to force it on a band, it keeps switching from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
If i turn off wifi and leave mobile data on, then Google Play services is on top of the draining list.
I am starting to hate all these Android inconsistencies..

turn off your auto sync. it updates every 15 mind and keeps your phone from dozing. just manually sync it. it literally takes 6 clicks.

Man, it has literally nothing to do with auto sync.
I have battery issues both when using the phone and while standby.
The phone is getting annoying warm. That doesn't happen when i am home. Now i am using a different wifi connection.
Now home (different router, different SSID for each band) the wifi consumption seems normal and the phone doesn't heat anymore while using. That's so pity when you have no control to wireless router and you get into this situation! This seems to be related to Android, since i had the drain also on OnePlus 5.
Made a little test, when not in "doze mode" it consumes 2% each hour.
And overnight somewhere between 4-8% (random !?) for ~8h.
All standby times, no background tasks
Wifi & Bluetooth scanning off, motion sense off, idle screen (AOD) off, wifi on, location on, always on data off, Bluetooth on, tap to wake on, lift to wake on, now playing on, assistant voice match off
My battery drain reduced to 3% overnight (8+ hours sleep), with motion sense completely OFF
@jalado do you have any issue with Google play services or phone idle consuming a lot of battery?
I've attached a screenshot with battery usages.
I've already cleared Google play services data + cache yesterday (+ a reboot after about 30mins) before charging.

no, my idle drain at night is like 1-2% over 6-8 hours. I don't have auto sync on though, so my phone stays asleep. your play services seems good for auto sync being on. mine's around 3% a day, if that.
I will try to turn off auto sync overnight and see then.
I got 6% drain for ~8h overnight.
Btw, when home with wifi on i have no issues with Google play services battery drain. But when commuting and with data usage (being on mobile data about 2h of the time) the drain is high!
I have to test more and see if it's because location history, Google fit or mobile data. Or all..
So I've turned off auto sync overnight.
It drained 6% (70% -> 64%)... So for me the same drain :/.
Another thing that i am disappointed of is the Google Play Services when on mobile data (on idle/standby). I am on LTE with good coverage.
