sudden battery drain - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 two days ago and thing have been GREAT until this afternoon.
On the way home from, I suddenly noticed my battery started draining way too fast.
Tonight, I've been monitoring, and it's lost the same amount of battery in less than an hour as it did all last night unplugged 7 hours while I slept.
I installed gsam battery monitor in the hopes it would provide me with more inromation than the standard battery info from Android settings menu, but it's not telling me much more.
Also, in the time from 8:50 - 9:10 that I had the screen off and phone unplugged, the phone is warm like I've had the screen on using a CPU intensive app.
What else can I do to track what is causing this battery drain? (and i'm assuming CPU usage).
The only thing I did today that was any different was to install the Asus Pixelmaster camera app from the play store. other than that, absolutely no different usage today than the past two days.
I have just now uninstalled the Asus camera app to see if that is the culprit, but I don't see how it could be.
This is my first go with Resurrection Remix, but I did use the Asus Pixelmaster camera on CM13 and (obviously) stock and stock rooted ROMs.
Please, any thoughts on this?
@BigBrosMo this might interest you as well.

Craziness.... Not the camera. Something in cyanogen. The flat a section is airplane mode.

i could not track down what was causing the problem. this morning was even worse - about 1% drain every two to three minutes .
i'm trying out the XOSP ROM now.

I noticed if i turn the wifi off the drain is reduced significantly. Bluetooth is on, cellular on, wifi off.

Did you get any further in diagnosing battery loss? It's taking forever for RR 5.7.1 to get released.

I am having this issue to! On a couple roms at that. Anything you have found to resolve this?

No.. I just keep trying different Roms. I use resurrection remix latest and it's ok as long s location is completely off. If on high accuracy or battery Saver it kills battery. So I only use sparingly.

huh... so odd. I was excited about this one but I am getting ADs now and the battery issues. Had the same thing in Resurrection and now XOSP. In my troubleshooting, I installed an original ROM and that seemed to run fine. Going to see if someone deodexed one and flash that...

Take a look at this
It may be with 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' activity. Set it to 'Never'.
OR
Step A: Set 'can modify system settings' of 'Xender' in 'modify system settings' to off.
(But by keeping this off, everytime Xender prompts 'allow changing settings' and you need to allow it to use the app. After the use, you need to again do the Step A)

my battery does not drain my opinion.
So your battery goes from 100% to 0% in a little over 3 hours? You need a new battery.
Nah man it was fine before.. just after this rom its dying like crazy, its not as bad as 100-0 in 3 hrs tho.
every once in a while I stumble on a Rom / Kernel combination that does this. It could also be a rouge app that is being reported as system.
Try this: install OSMonitor (because the system doesnt give you specific details) and in the setting have it sort by load, then find out what is taking the most percentage of CPU. Long press on that item and select Watch Log. See if there are errors or redundant messages that keep popping up. That will find your issue.

hey man thats very helpfull, thanks so much..LOl but i just flashed back to evils sense rom.. so lemem see if this is consistent. Thanks man.
I get great battery using miui ROM with kernal 2.6.35.4 [email protected]#12. ALSO let battery drain completely and charge fully without turning it on. Then boot to recovery and wipe battery stats. Conditioning and the right kernal / ROM combo has my battery holding up great! Hope it helps! =D

I'd suggest you try CM6 and SetCPU. Both have dramatically helped increase battery life for my N1. I never used to get one whole day's worth backup before, but now I do, sometimes a little more than 24hours (when not used quite a lot).
For me, I found the biggest battery drain to be signal strength.. Even more so than 3G/WiFi or brightness. In an area with low cell signal, the antenna seems to be constantly trying to reconnect and it kills my battery life in a couple hours. If im in an area with strong signal, I can leave everything on (gps, wifi, bt, 3g) and get all day service easily.

Horrible battery

Take a look I am running SC 2.4 and I had my data on and I went to 79 percent battery in a little over an hour mostly on standby just now I charged my phone to 100 percent and its at 90 while leaving wifi on and a phone call

EB01 has a bug in its sensor code, so turning off AutoRotate will help. It's still not a WHOLE lot better, but it's at least serviceable that way.
Hopefully, the rumors about the update/OTA were true, and we'll see an updated build (EB09 is sticking in my brain for some weird reason, but don't take that as anything real) that fixes the sensor code and anything else that's eating up battery.
Did you do all the flashing when at 100% battery? It's possibly your battery stats are just inaccurate.
Let the phone charge to 100%, then with the phone still plugged in, shut it down so you get JUST the charging screen, and let that go to 100%. Then, boot into CWM and delete battery stats, and then go back to the powered-off-charging-screen and let it go back to 100%, then boot back into your OS. Some people recommend draining the battery most all the way, then charging it back up, but I'm not sure if that's really necessary.
Also, apparently there's a GPS bug in EB01 which causes it not to sleep, which'll drain your battery fast as well (though I don't see the GPS icon on your screen). You might also have some battery hog in the background slaughtereing battey life (the battery use screen might be able to lend some help for that).
Try using an app called juice defender, I found it to help my battery a lot.
SC 2.4 hides the icon.
I was getting a wakelock from Android System earlier today, but that has finally resolved itself and my phone is sleeping now.
I am not a noon so I know about wiping batt stats and did that I have used juice defender before but I just don't see a whole reason that it should drain that quick

No issues with battery life AT ALL with EB01. In fact, the BEST battery life I've EVER gotten, even better than Adrynalyne's UV kernels (no offense bud)
Yesterday, I unplugged around 10, got off work work at 830, was home by about 930, and STILL had some 34% left, 11 hours later. I'VE NEVER been able to go that long on a single charge. And I leave auto-rotate on.
What REALLY helped me, was turning off the GPS when not in use. MAN....what a difference !!!!

Poor battery life after P6800XXLQ2 Flash.

I flashed P6800XXLQ2 everything is butter smooth and rock solid stable, but... it chews battery like crazy when it idles.
I had 30% batt, locked it and went to sleep. This morning I found it dead. If you look at the battery curve it always goes down at almost the same slope, does not matter you use it, or not.
EDIT
I tried wiping battery stats and disabling WiFi wile locked. Still the same.
I follow below suggestion and it seems to work.

I had the same issue having my WiFi off. I had to turn it On and then Tablet started working for days just as before
Turn on - for longer battery life, weird, but that works

So which of these I should chose?
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep if you turn this off it’ll help extend your battery’s life when the device is put into sleep mode.

Always.
OH WOW! Last night I disabled WIFI & Mobile data and locked my device. It had 59% battery. Now it's 58%!!! After 10 hours. There are some serious problems with LQ2 power management.
It aways goes down this straight slope. Does not matter if I use my tab at all. But last night?
So phase 2 of my test, I will use WIFI only, and no mobile data.

some times this happened to me also ... and then I noticed because some application still active in the background eg game and youtube internet browser. even after I quit .
I did experience also my galaxy tab 7.7 was warm /hot ... this was because the game and internet browser still active in the background.
So after that I always "closed all applications" from "task manager" ... no more battery issue or warm /hot issue again.
OK I have disabled mobile data entire day and set to disable wifi when locked. My tab was almost unused all day and this happened.
IT IS WIFI RELATED!

[Q] Sudden battery life change

Hello,
I've experienced a sudden change in battery performance.
What used to take around 50% of battery now takes around 85%.
It happened recently, around the same time I started working at a new workplace. The reception is horrible there, maybe that's the issue. However during the weekends, it is around the same.
I was on 4.4.2 stock when it happened and since then I've flashed it again once. I've also tried a couple of different radios (and enabled LTE) and I've always had franco kernel.
Brightness was always on Auto (which I shall turn off to experiment battery life) and wifi is selected to be off when the phone is off.
I have still a few more experiments to do, but I'm considering using warranty services. What do you guys think? It's clearly not as bad as some of the other battery issues I've seen on this forum, but it's quite the change for me. I bought this phone in July 2013.
Here is an example battery usage graph. Charging finished around 1 AM and left it unplugged over night. In the morning (~7 hours) the percentage was at 75%. (5% / hr) Throughout the day, I have used it for text messaging only and by 6 pm, it's at around 13%.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long post.

You can check what drains battery with BetterBatteryStats. Google it and you'll find.
Thanks for replying.
I have tried that before an OS reset although I couldn't make much out of it. One main thing I noticed was a certain kernel wakelock which, after I googled, was responsible for LTE connectivity. Although this makes sense, I had good battery life even with the LTE chip being used (& auto brightness / wifi always on) prior to this battery incident. By good battery life, I mean 50-60% used by the end of the day

Anyone knows how to stop phone idle eating battery?

I recently bought the lg g6 h870 for europe and i saw that phone idle is eating like 46-50% and android os is eating like 22-25%.This morning i saw that phone idle ate like 75%.Is that even normal.I have to mention that i am on july security patch due to the lack of updates for europe.Anybody knows how to stop phone idle using that much,or i have to wait untill oreo?

We have to wait. This is most likely because of Android 7.0 idle battery drain bug which causes "Phone idle" to be very high and battery-hungry.
I have tried greenify and i have location turned off wifi off bluetooth nfc all are off and i am still getting like 77% phone idle and 22 percent android os while screen is eating only 20% and other apps 2-7%.I am really getting desperate.

Yes, as I mentioned, 7.0 is bugged and there are loads of similar topics not only here, on G6 forum, but also on Nexus, Samsung, Sony forums.
Most of them are connected with "Phone idle" issue.

That's nice mine consumes over 2000Mah over the same amount of time.
Hi all, got H870DS model a week ago and on the first run used LG Mobile Switch as suggested by the device. Transferred all data and settings from G4, all good, didn't take very long. The first 48 hours were quite bad: 2-3% of battery every hour when idling.
Tried Greenefy, all those things, but with no root - poinless. Tried phone hidden menu as well.
Then I downloaded and applied one of the latest HK firmware - still the same.
Note that all this time the phone had no SIM, but was connected to WiFi with all social apps running on background.
Then I decided to go long way: back to factory settings and update the phone in portions. Log in Google account, basic apps - and leave the phone for 2-3 hours. Another 2-3 apps and wait again.
Last ones - social and messengers: one by one, like on the minefield. Folio used instead of FB.
Result: 0% drain overnight. 1% used in the last 14 hours.
Happy with that.
Not sure what kind of settings were transferred from G4 to G6, but that obviously was the reason (in my case) for the drain.
