My battery usage is around 9.6% an hour. Built in battery monitor must have been altered by my deleting spree. I also got rid of the phone manager too. I've been on battery for 35 minutes and have lost 6% battery. Thinking about going back to stock and taking a different approach as somewhere along the lines I mutated the Android system (using most of the battery).

Please specify what radios you have on during usage and screen brightness and screen on time is a big factor. I didn't go crazy and delete stuff other than AT&T bloatware and apps I don't use, and I'm quite happy. Maybe good idea to go back to stock after making a TWRP backup and do debloat in phases with days in between .

Did you try suggested battery app?

Yes I'm using gsam and now I'm up to ~13% usage an hour. BT is always off. Wi-Fi is always connected. Screen is always at auto so it's pretty dark. I'm going to go back to stock so I can figure out what exactly is draining battery.

Gsam should tell you in apps list. Did it prompt you for permissions to grant via adb pm grant?

It didn't, it asked for root at one point. Android system was chugging it all down. So it must have been a system app or service I either deleted or disabled. I'm back on stock now and we shall see.

I always notice phone lost more battery after rooted. Also removing wrong app can caused it too. When the system look for that app and it's not there. It keeps looking and cause the phone always ON (even screen off).
Going back to stock is one way to fix because you are not sure which app you removed wrong after rooted

That gives me an idea. I would do an "adb shell logcat" and see if it's spewing errors/FATALS if you suspect battery issues. I've seen this when something can't be found by system at startup.

How can I get back to stock?

Flash your TWRP back you made following the root/TWRP instructions . Should work, but don't restore the stock recovery unless you want that. Restore boot, system, and maybe data. Wipe cache and dalvik from TWRP before rebooting. Good luck .

Has anyone used better battery stats? There is a free version on XDA that will point out partial and full wakelocks that would affect battery life. I have not done this yet, if anyone has please report back.

I deleted that. I thought i don't need that after rooted. I got fast battery drain due to accidentally remove apps that needed in the systems. Oh well

Go back to the main thread and find who shared their stock TWRP. That should fix you up.

While you are looking for a stock TWRP back, go into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. Phone will sit on AT&T logo for about 30 minutes. Maybe it will fix the battery drain problem. Before you do that, do a logcat and see if it's spewing fatals or if you see any hints.

I wipe 2 cached and david, phone have normal reboot, less than 1 minute. Nothing changes. The "awake" time in battery management show 1hours screen on and 55% left (from 100%). I don't have this before rooting, AWAKE and SCREEN ON always sync. NOw AWAKE even SCREEN OFF

Use better battery stats app to see what your wakelock is.

GSam Battery Monitor can also tell you about wakelocks. I'm not sure if it breaks it out by app or not. Are you using free or pay BBS?

Remove PowerGenie app Huawei uses. These are the custom profiles they designed and they are crap. I go to bed at 6 am and wakeup at 3 and lose about 3℅. No lie. Ive always found the the OEMs on die power management better than placebo apps. Hardware based will out do software anyday of the week. My own opinion only.

What radios (WiFi, cell, GPS, etc) do you have on during 6am-3pm? I put mine in airplane mode during sleep hours.

android system eating up my battery

This problem started a few days ago randomly. I never installed a new app or changed any settings. Started out while I was on a custom ROM. I tried another ROM and same thing. Tried fully erasing everything my phone and still no luck. Fully unrooted and went back to complete stock and Android system is still eating away. When I went back to stock I started the phone as new. Did not restore any apps. This is very frustrating cause it started out of nowhere and it doesn't want to go away no matter what I do. My phone is dying halfway through my day with Android system having double the % that my screen on time has
Thankzz.

Go into settings/accounts and see if anything is having a problem syncing. You should also turn off Bluetooth and set location to battery saving if you aren't using Bluetooth devices or GPS. Which build of Android are you using? Is the high battery drain when the phone is idle? In use? Both? Presumably you wiped the system cache after going back to stock?

Accounts are all synced good. I have wifi and Bluetooth scanning off. Location is on battery saving. And I'm on latest vendor 7.1.1 and usually it's when I'm using the phone. Idle drains some too but not that much of a difference.

Did you wipe the system cache? The only obvious thing that might drain your phone when in use is having the screen brightness set very high, but that shouldn't make a huge difference. You said the problem began when you were on a custom ROM but now you are fully stock? That's odd. Poor network connection can also cause high battery drain. I think if you reset your network settings it will force your phone to look for the closest available cell tower. Do you have GSM or CDMA service?

When battery is run down, what is displayed under battery>>android system>>use details? Please paste those details here. Are you in an area of extremely poor LTE signal? Have you ever used Better Battery Stats? Install it and run it for a full battery cycle. Your problem will likely be solved by a factory reset from the stock recovery.

Wouldn't high screen brightness go under the screen category and not Android system? I will reset my network settings and see if it makes a difference. I would assume flashing back to stop and erasing all data on the phone would do that and wipe all system cache as well.

I have BBS installed but without root I don't think it's much help? I will post screenshots when my battery goes down to about 15%
Some people have reported that the following works, although I don't understand why it would. Go into settings/battery/battery optimization/all apps/reset app preferences.
A factory reset shouldn't be necessary if you did a completely clean stock install but it also couldn't hurt.

I never use root even with custom Roms. I feel like I have no need for it. I did what was mentioned earlier and reset my network settings and also I disabled chrome and started using a different browser and so far Android system is the same percentage as screen. Not good but way better than before. BSS is also showing 2 hours "awake (screen off)" which is kinda alarming

You didn't see anything odd when you went into accounts and looked at syncing? For Google you clicked on the account and looked at each individual thing that gets synced under Google? If you were rooted you could try the Naptime app. I hated it but it has many fans. Basically it puts your phone in an extreme Doze state when you aren't using it, which might fix your problem. But if you want anything to work with the screen off you have to exempt it from Doze. Screen off in Naptime kills pretty much everything.
Same here. Everything stock. Just checked accounts settings and everything is good.
right now my top 5 is:
Screen 13% (2h:52min SOT)
Android System 10%
Android OS 9%
Facebook 8%
WhatsApp 5%
and in overall I've been around 40 min on Facebook, and you know that this **** consumes a lot, so go figure out how the hell is Android System and OS above it.

They are components shared by applications so that's rather normal to have them high.
I don't care about Android architecture much so only look at my SOT (which is nominal).
Those interested in why system and OS are high, should read the battery stats source code to see what's grouped under these and how it's being calculated.
I locked my bootloader last night and did a factory reset from settings. Right now Android system is at 5% and screen at 4%
I'm about to completely just give up

Android System tally is the sum total of a number of components. That it is "high" is not necessarily a big deal. The real question is: what are each of those components using? When your battery is run down, what is displayed under battery>>android system>>use details? Those usage details may help you find a problem if you even have one. Short of rooting and running a dedicated battery usage/wakelock app, these details may be the best you will get.
Decided to run purenexus and exkernel with root to get better stats. Battery is a little better but still not even close to how it used to be. Here are screenshots of everything . Woke up with 100% around 5:30 am. Went to work and the gym and wat he'd some YouTube.
The only way I found to fix this issue was to implement aggressive doze as soon as screen is off.
If you're on MM this can be done using apps like ForceDoze
And on Nougat using NapTime
Furthermore , I also implemented ElementalX kernel with Hawktail governor.
Since these changes my Screen is on top of the list in battery and maximizes my screen on time. Nothing else works for me.
The phone tends to stay awake needlessly without all these tweaks.

I really don't see anything wrong here, except awake time and maybe SOT. 4 hours SOT is very good for stock and you are at what 3.3 hours? I use the Hawk Tail governor profile in EX as well and it gives me just a small amount of improvement over stock settings. I use the stock rom, rooted with EX and get 4-5 hours SOT.

I think the 2 hours awake screen off is normal unless you use an App like Naptime to put your phone in Doze as soon as the screen is off. If you are really concerned with idle battery life you might want to try Naptime, but you may need to play with the settings so the phone works like you want, Naptime by default turns off everything that isn't excluded from Doze when the screen goes off. That includes music players and the fingerprint sensor.

Maybe it's a malware from some sort of app you installed? :/
Not sure really, I don't side load apps so I don't get how that would happen. Here's another screenshot the US no option to uninstall or so it either. Looks like I'll be doing a system reset....
i have 2 of them 9180 and 9230 but they are in 2℅, 5%
as per my info i think these are sys apps which are running continuously for longer period...
in ur case it takes up lots of battery so in order to get rid of it try factory reset....
this may work but i don't guarantee that it may fix this issue

I had this too.
One of the forums said those are actually deleted apps and
will drop off when the battery stats refresh (or something
like that).
They are deleted apps, or possibly even ones that were auto upgraded by Google Play and the ID number changed. They should roll-off after a reboot and charge cycle.
I usually recommend using GSAM and activating the battery_stat permission via adb, it will tell you what those apps are IF it is running when they are deleted/upgraded, but doing it after the fact will not gain you any insight.

Experiencing bad battery life, unsure why.

S7 Edge Exynos global version I am using.
So, usually I can get 30 hours on battery but today suddenly my battery dropped 1% every 30 minutes when not using it. I am using Nova Launcher with energy bar running overlay on screen; wifi on; cell on. Anything else isn't on.
Following I have modified:
Developer options: running processes set to no background processes.
WiFi scanning and bluetooth sharing off.
I really want to avoid factory resetting as last resort.
My standby time is usually 1% every 1 hour 19 minutes.
I've even used Greenify to force stop apps when I'm not using my phone.
I will provide screenshots soon.

That's a good idea. Completely drain your phone, then let it charge to 100%. Also, since your phone isn't rooted you might want to steer away from Greenify and just disable the apps you don't use through the phone itself and letting the apps sleep normally.

You are going to have worse battery life than most regardless because you have terrible signal. Your phone is constantly pushing power to the radio just to keep the connection alive. You'd probably gain a ton of battery life just by simply going to 3g or even 2g when you are on WiFi.
If you signal is still this bad where WiFi isn't available you'll have poor battery life compared to most on any phone.

Is it Android System draining battery?

[XT1572] Possible bug or defective battery

Hello, I have a Moto X Style model xt1572 and after upgrading to Android 7.0 (through OTA) I noticed that my phone's battery is losing its charge. Unfortunately, I did not notice if this same problem occurred before the update.
The problem occurs when I reboot the device (up + down + lock), it loses about 8 to 10 percent of the battery charge, sometimes even more, but if I turn it off and on again then it does not lose the charge .
As an attempt to solve the problem, I rooted the device and installed a battery calibration app, the app informed me that the battery health is good, but I still have the problem of the loss of charge if I reboot the device .
Yesterday, as part of my tests, I charged the phone thro 100% battery (from 12am when it charged 100%) and did not recharge the battery until it was empty, which came at 12h12am today, but i almost not touched my phone yesterday because of my job.
Still as a test, today, I loaded my device up to 100% and then turned it off and on, again, there was no loss of charge, so I rebooted the device and guess what? It dropped from 100 to 88%, I attached some images to the end of the post showing the full load and minutes after restarting the load drop, and also 100% of the load and minutes after switching off and on again with 100%.
Anyone who has upgraded to version 7.0 could test and see if this load loss also occurs?
I believe that it is problem in my battery, but I would like to exclude all possibilities before investing in a new battery.

Did you do a cache wipe and/or factory reset? I would suggest it, lots of major changes under the hood... A factory reset is recommended after any major OS version upgrade. Any troubleshooting prior to that would likely be a waste.

Take a screenshot of GSAM and WLD after it's down to around 40% or lower and post it please.
Hello i am facing the same problem. So i reverted back to marshmallow and it fixed i think. in nougut it drains battery even when you phone is idle thats what i think. And there is another thing moto x style stores it battery info in a pertition names logs-charging.(i am not sure) but maybe in nougut update it gets reset so battery calibration gets wrong and your phone thinks you battery can store 3000 mah when your battery can store less than 3000 mah, for an example like 2700 mah after some month of use. So when you restart your phone your phone checks battery power remaining by measuring voltage and it changes the percentage to show remaining battery. Well i can be wrong. And sorry for bad english.

Your phone is losing charge with normal use or only when you reset it? Because mine loose charge only when i reset it apparently, with normal use its seems to be ok and discharge as it should.

Is this an official OTA update you got on your device... or did you have to force it somehow?
Your radio usage is crazy high, 30% of your battery usage was by your radios... Just for reference, mine is RARELY ever over 10%, usually around 6~7%

Yes, original OTA update without any mod on the phone. Is Phone radio about the signal oscillation? if is, the reason is that i live on Brazil, our cell phone antennas here is not the best and on my work (where i pass almost all day) theres problem with signal, some operators not even has signal there in some points of the office...

Yeah, that's probably why... The worse the signal strength/quality, the harder the radios have to work.
How old is the device? If it's exceeding 18 months, probably a good idea to think about replacing the battery and back.
For my battery is really really worse on nougat! Like 1hour less SoT or more, a lot less active too. I have to charge it 3 times a day...

Battery Drain Help

Hey Folks loving my LG V20 so far. But recently, I have seen Android OS, Phone Idle, and Android System draining half the battery life.
I am un rooted, and do not wish to root it as all features I have are there.
Any tips you can provide me? Thanks.
Have you rebooted it firstly?

Have you tried a more in depth battery stats app?
Accubattery, gsam betterbatterystats come to mind
Mine does that in response to installing any new kind of all that scans for media in background. It'll get stuck alot but usually a reboot helps so not sure

Sorry for late reply, I checked my battery health estimate with Accubattery, it shows 94%.
Also, Phone Idle drain is higher then Screen? Anyone else get that?
I have phone idle using as much power as screen use. Sometimes even more.
Not sure what phome idle means. Wifi, 4g idle are included in this?
