Battery Life Help! BatteryStats LogCat Help Please!

Guys, I am getting terrible battery life on the newest BajaRom. I was getting decent battery life but somehow everything changed. I want to note that I cannot access the Media Battery Drain Fix in the BajaROM settings as it crashes EVERYTIME i open it. I have tried everything to install something that will fix media battery drain but I am unsure if this is what is really causing my battery drain. Please any help would greatly be appreciated!

Wakelock Detector and Greenify... are ur best friends on the Note 3.
Turnoff wifi,bluetooth,gps,etc when not in use. Set CPU to on demand. I always have power saver on unless I want to run a game... doesn't seem to effect anything else.
There are a ton of tips for Note 3 battery life...just search here...
I also use LUX for screen brightness, that made a big difference also. Change you wallpapers to darker colors... mine are some sort of black background...
I can make through the day with reasonable usage on Hyperdrive RLS8 and still have battery left...
Haven't tried BajaROM yet...

Thank you for your response. I have greenify'd most of my daily apps and I use wake lock detector and still cant find out the culprit here. It says that my SCREEN is taking up 30% of my battery life after just 2 hours unplugged and minimal use and I'm down to 82%. Can my phone just be inherently defective????
This DOESNT feel right. I NEVER had any complaints of battery with my NOTE 2

Check your data usage. I had the similar situation, saw nothing in the battery usage area....but then checked data usage. I had over 2 Gigs of data usage from EMAIL in only 2 weeks! I had been using the std email app...and get maybe 10 emails a day. Obviously something goofy going on in the sync. Yet battery usage showed next to nothing for the sync process or email app.
I removed my accounts from the email package, froze the email package and installed AquaMail and my battery usage cut by at least half....my data use flatlined.
Obviously it takes power to use the radio for a Gig a week of data....but that does NOT seem to show in battery usage.
so check your data usage...see if email is way out in front. That may be your problem.

I had the same issue with battery life after I flashed to and of the KK roms. My problem was Greenify, and I don't know why. Removing it didn't solve my problem so I'd restart from the beginning. My drain is less than 1% per hour idle without it and almost 10% per hour running all the same apps with greenify in different settings. Jasmine ROM just drained for me all the time.
*first post, be nice. I only joined because of all the trouble I went through to get my battery life back.

Battery life assessment

Hello,
I find the OPT's battery life to be pretty disappointing, and a bit inconsistent over time.
I rooted and installed Amplify with some pretty aggressive settings. I have also tried Powernap, but disabled it when I saw it had very little impact.
Below are today's stats for my battery, which is just about 20% after 13 hours of moderate use.
It looks to me like wakelock should be under control (1% of battery in GSAM), but why is the phone awake so often then? Plus there was some odd GPS behavior: what is your opinion on this?
I hope I am not breaking any rules. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

You're not reading the GSam stats properly, your wakelocks are almost equal to your screen time, and like 28% of your screen off time.. Not good. Your awake time percentage is roughly three times what mine is. You may have a kernel wakelock rather than apps causing problems but can't tell without wakelock detector or similar.

Thanks, will try wakelock detector and report back

Can't confirm your disappointment...
In my opinion it's OK to have roundabout 2,5h DOT and last half battery with an Lollipop rom

Wow, wakelock detector revealed a massive drain from the fingerprint scanner... Probably due to the fact that I keep the phone in my pocket with no case, so it turns on very frequently only to "read" my thigh through the fabric.
I tried disabling fingerprint scanner and had immediate benefits on standby time. I wonder if this means I will be unable to ever use this great feature, or if sensitivity will be adjusted in future OTAs.
Screen on time remains rather poor though, or at least a far cry from the 5 hours everyone else seems to get.

My battery with screen off goes down 52% after 2 days. Have 2.1, latest custom kernel,greenify + amplify. the culprit is mobile standby as there are parts of house with bad reception. airplane mode not an option

Last night I tested battery drainage overnight from around 11pm to 7am.
I lost 3% total.
I set the phone to LTE (WiFi off) and disabled Auto-Sync Data under Accounts.
3% overnight is not bad IMHO.

Hi guys,
The standby time on OPT is very bad, however if I use it I get amazing SOT.
I am gettng these 2 kernel wakelocks in OPT, qpnp_fg_memaccess & qpnp_fg_update_sram.
These are always in top 3 wakelocks. I tried to search about them but could not find anything.
Can anyone tell me what are these and why do they occur and how can i avoid them?

So ... why don't you keep it somewhere else? Or put it in a flip case? That would be an easy remedy without sacrificing usability too much. I never really get it why people deliberately expose their thighs and possibly also their reproductive organs to so much radio waves ... or keep their mobile connection activated over night ...

Actually I have solved this by always pocketing the phone with the screen facing away

I am using Sky dragon ROM and Boeflla v18
Used 70 % battery in 23 hours with around 6 Hrs active. so it is good. Mostly Used in real racing 3 and asphalt. Plus I am running several xposed mods and Layers Themes

Abnormal battery life

I purchased my 6P roughly 2 weeks ago and I'm not seeing this amazing battery life of everyone else's.. The best I've gotten was 4hrs screen on time with 25% battery remaining. I've tried tons of ROM and kernel combinations, as well as being on stock with locked bootloader, the battery life seems worse with kernels, and the same with stock based Roms. Below is my current SOT with stock rooted, stock kernel. Is there something wrong with my battery? Considering calling huawei for a new battery? This is pretty **** battery. My galaxy S5 had better. I constantly check my CPU States, it does deep sleep perfectly fine. No abnormal wakelocks, I don't even have Facebook installed. The 4 hr SOT I did achieve was with greenify and amplify, which I don't think I need for a phone with this kind of battery...

Depends on a few things. Could be a rogue app, wifi wakelock, or really poor signal.
You could try stock and no apps for a day and see how it performs then.

the apps i use are twitter, whatsapp, tapatalk, slide for reddit, snapchat, instagram, open camera, and neko atsume. thats pretty much it. Of course cpu spy for monitoring, and sometimes i do notice wifi taking up a bit of battery, but even if i disable it and it goes away, the battery life is still poor. I have a moto 360 and I usually have it paired via bluetooth. I also use google now but i set the GPS mode to either device only or battery saving mode. reverting to bone stock google images locked bootloader to see if it makes a difference, again.. even if the wifi isnt draining.. still is poor. I did monitor my signal and i get very good LTE signal all over my city, so I can rule that out. Would huawei honour this request? I am located in Canada if it matters. Also i dont think its app related because i use the same apps on my S5 and the battery is better on it, which doesnt make sense.

Have you tried turning off WiFi scanning and Bluetooth scanning? They're pretty much useless but consumes battery.
Go to Settings > Location > Menu > Scanning > toggle both settings off

Yes I have, as practice I never have them enabled.

So I have had my phone on for two days now and charged back to 100 of course. Total screen on time over that period is 3 hrs.. This is brutal. Phones at 58% right now. I'm noticing this (screen shot) is this the culprit and does huawei do warranty in Canada?

I do not have that battery drain problem. In fact battery usage appears lesser than lolli. I saw some people complain about the battery drain though.
When I upgrade MM from Lolli I did clear the cache.
When I installed MM 2nd time, I did the factory reset.
In MM, Asus drops a couple of apps and add some apps that could work with MM. (I do really miss the asus mail which is no long compatible with MM)
MM has autostart manager please use it to prevent autostarting the apps that you do not use.
Also go to the app manager and disable the apps that you are not using.
That is what I did.

Do a clean wipe and see if issue still persists.

Did you disable Asus mobile manager? I did because I hate its addition to the notification bar. When I did this my battery life became awful. I then enabled Mobile Manager and my battery life is fine again (I just have to deal with the notification).

After MM official update

I found out how to reduce the memory and battery drain. Go to setting and location, click on menu on your top right corner then scanning, uncheck wifi and Bluetooth scanning! It save another 10%

Also battery problem here battery only get me one day with Android OS at 55% usage, report it already as bug cause even if the system is new without user apps it still persist for me, something woke up the phone all the time.
I disabled Locations, re-add g-account, disabled G+, and also Facebook Crap. Sad that I'm not rooted, to have a deeper look into it, but I have to send phone to service next month cause the vibration'engine' is dead. just found out that BetterBatteryStats work without root only with adb...
Attached a Screenshot right after a full load. Post second if it's empty.
After installing BBS and could watched at the stats I found the OSPM Wakelock as highest in my stats.... But why my battery is so fast drained if I'm not using the phone

With me also. I use skype like an our a day, and last night i noticed that it went from 97% to 30% in that hour. When i was on LP, it usually dropped to like 60%.
I did a factory reset before rooting the device.

[RESEARCH] Zenfone 5 1.2Ghz Screen On Time

As the title said, I'm gathering some information about screen on time (SOT) of Zenfone 5 1.2Ghz (from 100 to 1-5 percent)
I want to see how my battery is after years by how much time it can handle now. Hope you guys help me.
In comment section, please including your SOT plus:
- What rom are you using? (Kernel version if can)
- Most used network: Wifi or Cellular
- Network setting: Always on or Never (Manually)
- App ram usage (Running Service in Setting/Battery or Develop Options)
Thats all I want to know for now.
Thanks!

Using stock rom Kitkat newest version, cause it uses much less battery!
I mostly use more of the Wi-Fi on always on
what is mostly using my ram is the screen ( brightness) and android
I will send more information about RAM usage later, my phone is recharging

Using 1.6ghz variant.
rom- resurrection remix nougat. but channging of roms didnt had any great impact
only wifi always on.
ram- 40-50% or below free.
sot i get varies from 2hr- 3hrs. only texting and light stuff gives around 2hr 40mins.

im using latest kitkat on my 3 years old zenfone 5 single sim variant.
this one with 100% cpu usage all time + [ full screen brightness+ bluetooth + wifi+ gps on ] from 100% to 5%;

How long screen on time did you get? That's quite impressive battery graph with wifi and gps always on.

Screen was always on in both tests. i used battery drain app to make screen always on with full brightness and wifi in second test and i get 3h45m screen time.
in first test i pushed cpu 100% and activated all gps/bluetooth/wifi etc and i get 1h53m screen time. but phone was really overheated and i scare to do it again (it was burning my hand)
actually i was shocked myself when i saw 4 h screen time when i used my phone to only read ebook all day in home with half brightness and i decided to test my phone. Results were amazing i agree, i hope it keeps that way for one more year.
i tested overnight battery usage and it dropped to 85% from 100% within 7 hours with wireless open while android sleep. i guess it might be better to close all network overnights

I wish I still kept the screenshot on Mashmallow to show you.
wireless is not the reason but the google play service. After disable a list of unneeded services, I let wireless enable all the time, gmail and other notification still can be recieved and battery drained 1% per hour (screen off). For specifically, after 6 hours over night, it will drain 6%.
screen on time is normally 3 hours but of course I have to tweak a lot to get this result. If not, battery just drains like hell.

i tried to close wifi yesterday , as you mentioned it does not effect the drain.
3 hours sot on marshmallow is great but unfortunately i cant use custom roms cuz i need Gps occasionaly and my simcard often keep loosing signal on thoose . i am considering to get a xiaomi mi or redmi phone by next year but until that i had to use asus zf5 with kitkat 4.4.2 and 3-3.5 sot is best i can wish for.
