uuuhmmmmmm quite weird... I think that must be a hw issue.. did u contact google? does this happen with every kernel?
I got my phone from a carrier in Canada and they will not honour the warranty because I bought it outright. I have tested stock and franco
Install BetterBatteryStats and see what the other wakelocks are.
Sometimes WakelockDetector does not show every wakelock that is happening.

And look what i said, WKD does not seem to be able to see all the wakelocks, install BBS and see if you get any extra wakelocks.
If that doesn't help, i would suggest you to do a complete reflash to stock and see if it still happens on stock.
turn off your wifi when you are not using it. there is a constant drain with a wifi connection.
Drain is STILL there with wifi and everything off (airplane mode)
I installed BetterBatteryStats and everything seems normal. In a 1 hour period the largest offender was msm_hsic_host and sns_async_evwakelock and suspend_backoff with a total of 4 min.
It seems to drain the same whether I use the phone or not.

I was after a red light I bought a new battery because I wanted everything back. but after replacing. the phone loses all the time very fast.i think is battery fault. I tried all the ROM and the kernel and does not help

Seems like the exact same issue. Have you tried using another battery? I am being sent another battery to replace the one I bought so I will try that when it arrives.
I not tried yet. I wait for the 4.4 ROM and if not help i buy new battery but from someone else

I have a question. as you put the batteries you put blue tape too? It's a bit strange but maybe this is the reason because I threw my to the trash.it is called blue anti-electrostatic discharge tape
What blue tape? Do you are exepriencing usb connection problems too? I have all those symptoms after I've replaced my battery, and also the usb stopped working

What kind of apps do you have?? Like apps that you think might drain some battery. Also use betterbatterystat app to monitor what's waking your device.

With stock, around 2 hours of screen on time is typical. You can prolong the battery life by disable Google Now, location service, email sync, Playstore auto update, etc. Check your battery stats (try better battery stats from the store) to see if any third-party apps drain your battery.
The better way to do it is to unlock bootloader, root your phone then flash a custom kernel. I recommend franco.Kernel. 3-4 hours of screen on time is typical with franco.

Might as well flash a custom ROM with it if you're going to use a custom kernel IMO. When a new OTA, OP will have problems updating to it because he is using stock + custom kernel + custom recovery.
Here is how to fix your battery problem.
1. Turn off location access in Google Maps settings.
2. Wait about a week for the battery to go through its charge cycle 6-10 times. Let it get as low as possible without the battery dying (this is really bad) and be sure to let the battery sit at 100% for atleast a half hour or so when fully charged.
Each day you will see your battery life increase and when done, you should be getting around 5 hours screen on time.
Well dramatic change in battery life as displayed below. Now after having a read in several topics it seems like a fix is to have the wifi on. How strange as this goes against the ethos of all previous smartphones i have owned i.e. wifi on drains battery. I have uninstalled a few apps and also switched of location access, so to be sure that the fix is wifi related i will switch wifi off the next time i do a full charge and see how that behaves. By the way android os is way down in battery consumption now.

I'm still having huge battery issues no matter the ROM and kernel I use...
I have tried looking at battery apps that determine what's sucking up the battery but half the time it just says screen or WiFi. So it got me thinking, is it WiFi? I leave WiFi on, which was never and issue like a month ago or ever on my previous androids...but now all the sudden it seems to be the cause? I woke up to find my phone at 50% from 100 within 5 hours...of no use just WiFi turned on and set to only stay on when plugged in...so I could really use some help guys...

Simple solution - turn Wi-Fi off and see if it fixes the battery issue. Possible it is but to draw 50% that quick you'd have to be far away from the Wireless AP. In most cases that's very unlikely.

ya look at that.....but when you have small charges in between that dosent fully charge you.... you can make it run for ever...... the timer dosent reset untill you hit full charge. i agree with garwynn but ide also check your battery for swelling. ive had my wifi on all day (didnt realize it) and ive not had but mabey a 15% drain from it (5h28m to be exact).

Wow, have never seen that on any device! Install Gsam or better battery stats if you are rooted to see what's going on. My best guess, it's a hardware issue.

Have you already tried reformatting? Kind of a pain, but that's the only thing I can think of.
Try contacting Google or the seller they might give you a replacement.

That happened to me once or twice. These spikes are only visible on the battery graph in settings app. I use an alternative battery monitor app from Google play and it does not show any spikes. Also battery life seems pretty in line with what other people report. I simply ignore them since they do not seem to affect battery life.
Could it be caused by the wireless charging functionality being triggered by other electronic devices in house?
I saw the same problem in the G+ community there, but it's Gelexy Nexus which updated to Android 4.3 recently

Hey everyone,
My Nexus 7 (2013) is having the same problem with battery graph. There are about 2-3 spikes to 100% in every discharge cycle.
I noticed this problem has been reported in different cycles, but no one seems to be able to give a definite answer of what the source of this problem is.
BTW, after a reset to factory settings, the problem still persists.
ANY idea why this is happening???

You just keep referring to that forum without actually answering my question, even on that forum
i hope some of you have experienced this. i'm on carbon rom right now. sometimes when i'm in the middle of an app, it's just turn off and when i plug it in and turn it on the battery is at 0%. i've done a factory reset.
I have never had that happen before. Does your battery meter move? Like does it say sit at 50% for ages then all of a sudden your phone turns off.

no, but it does happen around 50% from my experience.

Try out another ROM to see whether the battery drain still happens. If no, then it's the ROM's kernel.
Yeah I would try another rom or hell even stock. Maybe your battery is defective if a new rom doesn't help

Did you mean when the screen is off? Because obviously it status awake while the screen is on. But there may be an app keeping it awake. Make sure all your apps are trusted

I'd go for a wakelock detecting app like "better battery stats" or "wakelock detector" to see which app could be the culprit. "Greenify" could then be used to block that app from keeping your tablet awake.
I personally do have no issues with standby whatsoever. I'd say I lose about 3-4% of battery during the day on 4.4. (WLAN and sync on all day, but I'm taking it to work where I have no WLAN I could use). I guess I had the same mimimum drain on 4.3. So standby couldn't be better on N10 in my opinion.
I only had one issue so far, where at about 25% of battery left it suddenly began to drain like 10-15% an hour, thus leading to my N10 shutting off after about 2 hours. No idea what caused that drain in standby.
I second that, get better battery stats or something similar to see what's keeping it awake.

mhm ... will not install 4.4 if the battery life is that terrible. Did you guys control the typical Google apps, which usually like to eat a lot of battery?
I have this since 4.4.2 on my Nexus 10 and 7v2. Not on the 5. My N10 uses almost every juice for Android OS. Before it used 5% for 1-2 days for standby. Now 3 hours. See screenshot. Is this normal?
And it wasn't awake. See other screenshot.
