Android OS battery drain

No matter what I do I get this drain. Android os is keeping awake for 4 hrs in 12 hrs of sitting in my car. Apparently instead of dozing it says don't go to sleep instead drain the battery. I'm using amplify and app ops xposed to stop wakelocks even. Running pure nexus. Doesn't matter if its fresh install or not. Any ideas?

root and install better battery stats

Well you clearly have something waking your system. Though too much wakeblocking is just as bad. Perhaps try something else, like greenify. Most likely some rogue app.

Better battery stats didnt really tell much It seems to only happen if WiFi is on and not connected so I'll try turning it off and see. I pretty much removed everything from amplify last night and turned off WiFi and there was no drain. I'm getting amazing battery life today tho. But no dozing so I'll see tonight I guess.

If that's the case, you probably have an RX wakelock, and flashing a custom kernel [kylo for example] has that as a simple wakelock toggle you can enable.
Or block it by other means.

Thanks kylo was my next thing to try But I just wrote a tasker profile to automate WiFi on off that should take care of it. If that fails kylo is next. Thanks a bunch

No problem, also:
Kylo Downloads, since renderserver isn't being updated.
Also also: when in the kernel, there is a bug with all 4 wlan toggles, make sure it shows up as 'disabled' [toggle to the left] to have it enabled.

Exactly, 4 - 1 = 3...Can't see the clear text?

You know I had this kind of drain yesterday.

Honestly Android OS is the worst kind of drain because its hard to find a smoking gun. It's just the OS doing something we don't know.. While Facebook had its wakelocks, the thing is Facebook itself is not draining that much. Something else is going on.

Only advice I have is make sure searching for open WiFi isn't checked, under location make sure the scanning options are unchecked and kylos kernel seems to be helping as suggested in previous posts using the wake lock preventions.

CPU Governor Causing random reboots

I have a very odd problem that I can't solve nor diagnose, my device (N9005) keeps rebooting at no expected pattern if I changed CPU governor to anything but interactive or under-voltage.
The problem started about a year or so ago and since then I have tried lots of roms, kernels and batteries if they had something to do with it but I can't understand why the reboot happen.
I can record a cat log if it would show the problem and if someone can help identify the cause of it or if someone already familiar with this problem and solve it would be much better.
I would appreciate any suggestions in order to try and solve the issue.

What happens with stock rom ??

You mean AOSP or TW? since both can be considered stock in different ways xD
Anyway, the behavior is the same on either but the problem started while on Temasek's ROM last year which was and still my main rom.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. However, after reading about it which is a very new concept for me so thank you again for that, I understood it affects overclocking speeds and tolerance but I still don't understand what could it mean to my case.
One thing I forgot to mention or implicitly mentioned is that, I used to use conservative or powersave governors and used to undervolt by 25mv till the problem occured.
Also, I think checking device's CPU binning method differs from a device to another (not sure if I'm right) but I tried a command found on OPO's site and it didn't show an actual output but it showed a 1 before the usual command line and I don't know if it means anything but thought of mentioning it anyway.

You can find your soc's pvs by navigating to /sys/devices/system/soc/soc0 then open the file "soc_pvs" with a text viewer.
There will be an integer (from 1 to 6).
1 means best support for undervolt/overclock. And 6 the worst one.
Your phone reboots when you just set different governor (no undervoltage applied) ? And which governor you set ?

Thank you very much for your reply.
I just checked and it is actually 1 .
The governor I was trying to set was Yankactive/ondemand.
There's a chance that the problem is actually fixed but I'm still not sure. However, if it's solved the reason would be ridiculous actually but compounded into 2 parts and I'm not sure if one of them it the main cause or both but they are the most recent changes which led to the current stability with no reboots since 2 hours now.
The first part is the SELinux status which was enforcing and had to change it to permissive for any heavy change otherwise it won't work and it kept changing after every reboot so what I did is forcing it to change to permissive on each boot. and it helped a lot but I'm not sure how it affected my situation.
The second part is that I was using PowerNap xposed module and there's a chance that it force stops the android system. I also have no idea how this contribute to solving my problem since the problem existed before even installing xposed.
Anyway, I'm still testing the device to see if it's actually solved.

Sorry i did a mistake.
The higher the PVS bin value the better. This means 1 is not good.

I have the value of 1 on my Note 3 and undervolt by 30 with zero problems. Also i change between interactive and performace govs a dozen times a day.

Undervolting aside, shouldn't I be able to change governors no matter the PVS bin value? since it matters the most while overclocking and I'm trying to do the opposite

I used to do too but no clue what happened on newer Android versions. BTW, which ROM and Kernel you are on?

Kernel: CivZ-KK_Xplorer-Rev1.9
Rom: Omega 4.4.2 v24
I am using both Synapse and Kernel Toolkit for CPU/GPU tweaking, as they wok well together (on the other hand Kernel Adiutor conflicts with Synapse).
In case you want to know, the battery goes down 1% every hour or so in idle and about 1% every 3 minutes of using the phone with screen on (browsing, gaming, etc).

Why do you say that? It's brand new (bought it original from Samsung, a month ago). One of the few new original batteries left in stock. manufactured at the end of 2014.
Only yesterday (@3%) i got 4 hours of gaming in Retroarch emulator (pretty intensive on the CPU), with a total of 4 h and 40 min SOT, with the Note charged to full 21 hours before that. Pretty decent performance imo.

O.O I'm terribly sorry I somehow misread your post.
I was confused when I read it since I was actually sticked to SlimKat before switching to nougat because of the battery.
BTW, what is your usual SOT without heavy usage?

Well, it depends on how bright the image is. That is if you watch some darker images or pages, it consumes less than white ones.
If i unplug it in the morning (i usually unplug it in the evening), the SOT is a sure 5 hours, with some 5 % left in the evening.

This might help a little. Look for these lines in your build.prop:
ro.core_ctl_min_cpu=2
ro.core_ctl_max_cpu=4
Change the value of he first line to 1. It's set to run on 2 cores minimum. If the lines aren't there, try adding at least the first set to 1.
Edit: it actually sounds like you may have a battery problem or another problem with your device. Might want to try to get it replaced.

kernel keeping phone awake?

Recently I started experiencing bad battery drain (13% over night) and I noticed my kernel has been keeping my phone awake. I did a factory reset without restoring a back up and still the same thing.
Can anyone take a look at my screen shot and help me figure out a solution?

Try using CPU spy and check if the drain is due to the phone not going deep sleep ?

Yeah it works , try updating to latest firmware as they have improved battery drain , you could turn off AOD , put some apps to sleep in the settings that you don't use and optimize battery usage for them. i was told Mobile Data consumes alot of battery , I'm getting 2% drain for the night unless I leave some downloads.

I am on the latest firmware and I have done everything in the original battery optimization guide by corvo who is now gone. I also have tweaked all my settings for max battery and turned off mobile data. Forgot to mention these issues are with all battery saving tweaks in mind.

I have not. I have literally no idea why the phone is acting this way. I also don't know why my battery stats are not working on the app.
Also idk if this information will help my phone is a snap dragon 855 US variant.
I might try another factory reset. Could you give me a safe to disable list? Perhaps I could try just disabling little pieces at a time and see what happens. Maybe I uninstalled an important service or something.
For example I completely removed wellbeing from my device. Idk if it is important etc or had a role in certain services.

Sure, I have the exynos so that might explain why cpu spy works for me.
Google battery historian (there is a good reddit sub that explains how to use it) which might help identify some issues
I've attached my disabled list, just be aware that I have a 3rd party tracking app so I wouldn't recommend removing the find my device unless you have an alternative

Check your battery stats if what is causing it, try uninstalling or freezing the app that has the most CPU usage and test it again.

If you still having the problem, I think it's better to return it to the manufacturer or the store and ask for a replacement

Today I received my mi 9t.
When I loaded it with 40% at 90% turned off. Phone was ver hot.
I use powerbank with QC 3.0 I use standard case .
I wait about 20 minutes and turn on phone.
What do You think about that?
Does it can be fixed by software or it is fail of engenering and it is hardware problem?
