Android system eating battery - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My battery is declining faster than expected and when I looked up my stats, it showed that Android system was eating up more battery than the screen!

I took my better battery stats as well. I don't have location services on, but I am using Google Now. Is that the reason for this battery drain?

Dude that's still pretty damn good...why are you complaining?

Yeah, just last night I had 15 hours on battery, over 5 hours of screen on and still 20% battery left. Don't know why OP os complaining.

Yeah the phone's battery is great. I always have gps, wifi, and Bluetooth on with pretty good results. I can only imagine how much longer it would last with some of those off.

I'm not complaining, but just curious why Android system is such a battery drain. It would seem that the screen would be the biggest drain.

So it should be higher in usage than the screen? I always thought it was a bad thing if Android system was the first thing on the list.
Okay then, never mind. I am happy with the battery life, just want to make sure I'm getting the best battery this phone can offer.

Just for your reference.

Generally though if Android OS is higher than your screen on time then you have a wakelock issue. I know without root it'll be a little harder to fix the issue at hand though.
I'd at least look into WiFi settings and turn Always Allow Scanning to Off. Then maybe look at your GPS settings and try the battery friendly mode or GPS only mode. I also don't allow Google to use your WiFi for better location results. There have been similar bugs reported with 4.4 here is some info and afew people trying to squash the issue on a Nexus http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1y96zm/battery_drain_caused_by_android_os_possible/
You boys need root!
I'm not sure if any of the wake lock apps out can show you what's causing this without root but maybe look into it.

Also you can try changing the "keep WiFi on during sleep" to either off or only when plugged in. That may help. Just suggestions that's all. Maybe something here will help somebody.

You also have to remember how much Samsung based apps are running in the background at all times. Figure the pedometer in S-Health, any kind of airview, or S-This S-That when the phone is on. That is probably part of the cause. I do say i see it too but i wouldnt say my battery is exactly bad because of it.

Thank you for those tips! I didn't know about that wifi one. I immediately unchecked always scanning. I keep my wifi on to make sure I use wifi, if available, but I don't need it always scanning. I hesitated on the gps switch, but I figured I'll try it on power saver and see what happens.
Edit:
After turning off wifi scanning, that's what I got. That looks better to me. Although my usage time is lower than my previous screenshot, I started my day at 90% (forgot to charge last night, and that's as high as I could get it before leaving for work), and I'm using my phone more today.

Tissues 4 My Battery Issues (SOLVED)

Pardon me if I posted this on the wrong forum and kindly move it.
OK where do I begin, recently I flashed paranoid android from for galaxy note on my phone and while it was pretty good, it wasn't yet developed enough for my usage, one main feature that's missing is that you can't play mp4 videos which suck but anyways after playing around with the rom I decided to go back to ginger bread and I did.
After flashing back and rooting the rock everything was fine except the battery life. Previously the battery wasn't this bad like now. I ignored it for a couple days but last night pissed me off.

I was awaken at around 5 30 am and switched on my phone and immediately went to sleep and a couple hours later at around 10 I look at my phone and it had drained so much battery and no one used the phone, so how can it drain so much battery when no one evem touched it, and also it was in airplane mode. I honestly don't know what is wrong but can someone help me with my battery issues

Yeah android is not user friendly in terms of analizing batterylife stuff best to check betterbatterystats here on xda forum, with this, also not to user friendly you can check wakelocks. Wakelocks are what awaken your device and preventing it from deep sleep. Deep sleep is the most efficient mode your phone should go into when not using it.
With cpuspy you can check if your phone actually goes into deep sleep. Download that first.
Now regarding PA, its based on cm9, I think in CM9 thread in general section there are tons of post about deep sleep issues and how to fix it.

OK I should download CPU spy to check if my phone goes into deep sleep (which I doubt it does) and if it doesn't what do I do next, currently I'm not on PA rom, I switched back to gb 2.3.6 and am very hesitant to update to stock ICS.

shut down your phone .. take the battery out for a while ... put it back in and reboot ... should be able to enter deep sleep ...

[Q] Large battery drain from "Android OS"

Android OS uses by far the most battery on my phone:

BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector get no further than pointing at Android OS.

I had a similar problem last 48hours, I put it down to a launcher I was using (KitKat one from Play store) - sure enough that's what it was for me. so switched back to TW
Just restart your phone and see if it makes difference?
Try clearing cache partition in recovery

I had the same problem and it was only fixed temporary by restarts. Since i turned off the advanced wi-fi option "keep wi-fi on during sleep", everything works like a charm. It seems there is a problem with the (deep) sleep states. I am on the newest firmware (rooted, knox 0x0) btw and Android OS went from 60% to 10% battery usage!
So in case the problem returns, try it... You might have a little bit more mobile traffic depending on your apps and configuration, but hopefully this will get sorted out with a new firmware.
I've had the same problem for some time.
curiously enough, I found that turning location services ON fixed the problem.
It can be many things, u need a wakelock detector app or bbs app to oin point the problem.

Thanks for all the replies. Wakelock Detector blames the "Android OS".
I've turned off location services, advanced Wifi on when charging, done a factory reset, wiped the cache, disabled Google backup service. The "Android OS" is still by far the largest battery hog.
I really wonder!

Here is what i am trying now... Maybe you do the same.
Charge battery up to 90%
Remove the battery and keep it aside for a while, say 10 mins
Plug it back in and charge to 100%.
I discovered mine was due to a custom kitkat launcher from the play store. Soon as I ditched it, the OS drain vanished.

KitKat Launcher+ by Bjorn Vermeule
JellyBean is by far the most horrible thing I have had in mobile history. A firmware that just relentslessly drains battery by default.... even if you close everything... You can restart and it will work for very short time. but no matter what it will go back to staying awake all the time. I even removed things like facebook, im stock for the second time and all it takes is a charge over night unplug and then its **** again, restart many times during day untill it settles, it then works again at evening, you put it in charger and next day its **** again....
It simply dosent matter what you do, it's broken. Contacted samsung aswel and only solution I got was "We hope kitkat will fix it" as they were aware of the problem.

[Q] KitKat battery usage way up

I have read where the KitKat upgrade for the G2 is supposed to add speed and increase battery life even further. For me however it seems its the opposite. I have had way worse battery life since installing (pc lg tool) the KitKat update. I was going all day with anywhere from 40 - 30% left when it was finally plugged in for the night, now I am lucky if I make it to the end of the night. At first I thought perhaps it was just in need of a reboot, but I have done that several times since installation and battery times are still worse. What I don't understand is the battery meter says "System" is to blame for 53% cpu time. Before screen time was my number one battery drain, now its just from being on?.... I don't get it.. Anyone else having this issue, or can shed some light?

That's just it, i haven't done anything different. It can't be an app because i haven't installed anything since the upgrade. What bothers me is it seems to be a system process that's causing it.

Not sure if it is something generic across KitKat or if it is specific to my ROM but pocket mode was killing my battery since it was constantly powering my proximity sensors looking for light to unlock the screen.

I provided the path above, like I said though not sure if it is specific to the ROM i'm on(PA 4.4.2) or not. It the only real exposure to kitkat that I've had. If it isn't a default kitkat thing i apologize if I got your hopes up. I will say this though, if it is don't get your hopes up. It's rather annoying and a massive battery drain. With it on my phone acted like it had half the battery it does.
I don't have location settings turned on, so google now shows unavailable for location, also I don't have security turned on, so I have no security lock screen notification settings that I could find... I'm assuming this is only on if you are using pin, or pattern lock. Thanks for the suggestions tho... I'm going to keep monitoring it and see how it goes. So far today it seems to have normalized, Android System is only showing 2%, which is more like it.
I'm on Official LG Stock KK and to be truthful the battery life has been pretty bad. Like not really comparable to 4.2.2 and definitely not comparable to vanilla Android(of course). What's the issue? Anyone know?

Battery drain, Bluetooth, help

Hello everyone , my AT&T LgG2 is running 4.4.2 and my battery life has been pretty poor. Blue tooth is always on even though the switch is off . I tried a factory reset 2 times and it wouldn't change. Also my battery is drain much faster that on 4.4.2. I can't run any wakelock detectors because I can't root my device and frankly don't understand Most of this rooting stuff.
I installed greenify but that app is limited due to non root mode . any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've also noticed that my ram is always above 1 gig. And I normally have about 500-600 free. This seems excessively high. I've tried using task killers and they say they have freed 100-300,MB but a few moments later the same thing happens .

i am using even modify stock rom without bloatware
I've just upgrade to 4.4.2 today, and I have same problem with bluetooth. But on mine, it dont eat battery too much like you. On my phone, when I turned off bluetooth, it still use 7% battery. I am very curious about the reason of this, too.
Few thread about are saying this isn't an actual drain but a miss read of stats because of kitkat.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Bluetooth isn't actually on; it's a bug in the stats reader. It doesn't cause actual drain.
For me, battery is better on KK. If you have extra drain, I don't think it's because of the update.
Furthermore, your RAM usage seems normal. Modern OSes cache certain things into RAM to make things go faster. That's what RAM is for. Less used RAM != faster phone. It will automatically clear up cache to make room for other apps as needed. This is why I do not recommend task killers.
If its not actually on why does the stat always change like its been running.? Also as for the ram it starts hitting 500 and the phone star s to crawl. Its not killing things on its own. It just seems odd that the is is using a gigs worth of ram when I have nothing I use on. At least with a rood I could freeze all the bloat.
I'm waiting for a simple root because when I start reading the ones available I get all lost in this tool that tool this firmware that blah

Any fixes? Bluetooth i s going crazy after KitKat update on my G2 too! Seriously, battery has gone from awesome to 'just good'.comparing to bluetooth, WiFi battery usage is negligible (low 0-1%)

Are there any reasons to hold off on taking the latest update?

Just in terms of eventual root, or something. It's not going to make much of a difference, or anything?
I'm on 6.O.1 - G930PVPU1APB5

Its just that I notice it includes "security improvements," and that after updating, "returning to the previous version will be impossible. "
If your battery life is good right now, I wouldn't take the update. Sprint ****ed up the battery life on the GS7E with the pd3 update. I wish I had never updated my phone. I went from 7 to 8 hrs SOT down to 4 to 5 hrs after the update. It is caused by a GPS bug.

I wish. I accidentally took mine a few days ago. Was walking through LA at night, pulled my phone out to check directions, and it was 10% deep into it. I was so pissed, and it was like an hour before I could use my phone again.
