Hit thanks on accident. Have a freebie.
It has been reported that our Gallery app is buggy with the sensor usage. My suggestion to see if this is the root of the problem is to uninstall/freeze the Gallery app and try a different one. Some people have mentioned that just installing the 3D Gallery from the market doesn't have the issue like the stock one. Either way let us know if that helps.

I have the same problem, even after uninstalling the 3d gallery it still occurs. It usally keeps my phone awake 50% of the time. I have tried so many things to fix it, nothing helps.

Format your SD card, Odin, redownload the ROM and modem, install CWM3, reflash modem, reflash ROM.

Gallery sensor usage and System sensor usage are two different issues. I have noticed that "System" sensor usage is always around 50%, but it does not effect partial wake usage and does not cause excessive battery drain (at least on my Epic it doesn't).
I tried wiping and using odin to go back to stock but I will try again. This time im going to keep from putting anything back on my sd card. What I noticed was even when I did this the problem occurred on 2.1 stock as well.
While my sensor usage is up. My partial wake lock is usually 50% as well.

These are most likely useless metrics.
It is affecting battery though. I usally last 8 or 9 hours which is far less than I used to. My phone also will get very warm even if I'm not using it.

google is of no help in locating the app or service
Well I went back to stock then flashed back up ACS 1.1.0. I flashed genocide kernel as well. the battery isn't as bad and i resorted to using autokiller set to aggressive. Most of the time its fine but it still will go back to a 50% wakelock. when this happens usually under sensor usage android system is 50% or 100%. when its 100% my phone will get warm. The only time i noticed this really happening was sometime after i got a replacement phone. Do you think its hardware related. It doesn't make sense to me. This morning my first 10% of battery lasted about 3 hours then the wake lock kicked in and it started to drop very fast. I used to make 14 hours of heavy use with this phone.
Thank you for those that have been trying to help.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, but it seems like the only section specific to the Captivate Glide.
My wife's Glide is stock, very few widgets (google voice, battery, stock clock) and Android OS shows up at 40% when the phone is idle overnight and during the day during use. She has fb set up on socialhub with only contacts synced, 2 gmail accounts, and Touch(used to be pingchat). wifi is enabled and connected for most of the day. bluetooth is on too, but only connected when in the car.
I don't think it's Touch since I have it on my Atrix and Android OS is at 2-3% for me.
Any ideas?

do you have apps that can access your location? (weather apps, maps etc.) If yes, you may wanna go settings > location and security > and then uncheck "Use wireless network" in case you have not done it yet.
I don't think that's it. I have location enabled on my phone and have a weather widget. The wifes phone does not have a weather widget.

She might have some app that is are using way too much cpu, try doing a factory reset and check the usage, mine is currently %17.
Also the facebook app is a notorious battery thief. Battery usage percentage isn't standard for different people, if she's not using much features, the majority of her battery will be used by the OS since there is nothing else to use it.

Wouldn't phone idle be the max usage? For my Atrix phone idle is at 70% or so when I barely use the phone and Android OS is 3%. I can try disabling facebook overnight to see if the Android OS usage goes down.
The battery life for this phone is ok. It hits ~30% or so in the early evening, meaning we need to charge the phone if she goes out that evening. For my Atrix the battery doesn't hit 30% until midnight under light usage conditions (no games).
Is there an app or logcat keyword to filter to break down exactly which thread/process is using up the CPU?
edit: nm, going to read through this first
From looking at the wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats the likely culprit for the battery usage is the facebook chat portion of the fb app. The wife has many contacts in the chat, so it's probably polling quite a bit. For me the wakelock count for fb chat is fairly low. fb chat is a must for the wife so I can't disable it.
Also in the process screen I see several kworkers with high usage...not sure exactly what's causing that.
so for whatever reason the battery drain is now more acceptable even though the Android OS usage is still at ~50%. Could be the fb update, but the good battery performance occurred before the fb update.

my infuse 4g has a battery drain because of fb.....it's always the next thing that is draining the battery (i hope to get screenies). I just force close fb (or set refresh interval to "never") when I am done using it....
I can't say that this is same as yours but it may be a thing to look up.

Doesn't appear to have fixed it. Charged up. Two hours later android os is at 26%. Second only to screen. Before I started using it it was at 60%.
Do you happen to use advanced task killer this may help

Is there a certain task to kill?
I have had this problem since day one with this phone. I did a reset without loading a single app and I see it. Does every glide have this behavior or could this be a bad phone?
Well when I first use my phone a lot of apps are running at startup but you could have a bad phone I don't have the phone so I don't know

From the betterbatterystats output, I'm pretty sure the high Android OS usage is software related and specific to the stock ROM. The radio and wifi battery usage are normal.
I have no clue what the kworker processes are doing when the phone is supposed to be idle. Overnight my Atrix is 68% idle, 12% cell standby...android OS is 2%.
Idk you could try when putting it idle turn of Bluetooth and wifi and the data network this could help see

BT is already off. I could turn off both wifi and data network and if it turns out that is what is causing the battery drain (does not seem like it)...then what? Don't use wifi and the data network? It seems like there's little we can do as an average user to fix the high Android OS usage when idle. It does not seem like high kworker process usage can be fixed by TiBu or other simple fixes from a user.
Another update from Samsung, custom ROMs, and other dev fixes on xda seem to be the only options.
You need to find the source to find a rom that will repair this sometimes an launcher can make your battery die faster I know that Facebook and the browser use a ton of ram I have a stock app on my phone called application manager and I can stop apps that are using my ram

My HTC Wildfire often shutdown while I'm using my phone especially but not limited to browsing and visiting the Android Market.
When I reboot my phone after the random shutdown, my battery level drain out even the battery is full before the random shutdown. I then shutdown my phone and switch on it after a few minutes, the battery level came back to the initial level, i.e. 75%. And if I switch on with my phone plugged, It switch on with 100% battery level.
I first encounter this problem after I had installed Go Launcher EX on my phone. The problem continues after I uninstalled Go Launcher EX and using LauncherPro.
Now I had rooted my phone on CM7 and this shutdown still haunts me, please advice.
Do you use a cpu manager?
If not, please check settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance/cpu/ What does it say?
does it shutdown, or does the screen simply turn black, while the led lights, remain on?
to be honest here, it sounds a LOT like the power issues on the HTC Touch Pro2.
While that device ran Windows, as to android on your device, it seems like there might be a cross-os programming error on these devices.
could you also check if this mainly happens when you were suppose to receive an sms or incoming call, while also using the internet?
If so, i think i might know where to look for a root-cause of this problem.

It turns off completely. Most cause of the shutdowns are Internet browsing and visiting android market, no calls and messaging were made nor receive that time. However, the shutdown doesnt happen when I charge my phone. So is my battery faulty?
I found that when I overclocked my phone shut down and randomly rebooted. I had to drop it below 700 for it to be stable.

Then it may be a hardware problem. If it was a software issue a new rom should have fixed it. Have you got a warrentee? You may have to use it, but remember you may have to flash stock and s-on again or they might not accept it.

I had already purchased a new battery online. Just waiting it to reach my door step and I will check whether my battery is faulty or not. Thanks
ok good luck
I had the same problem with the phone i used before my wildfire, it's a SonyEricsson, have no idea what's the problem either
Using go launcher at the moment and apart from random restarts I don't have a problem like this. But then again I haven't played with the CPU settings yet. Also I know I'm a newb but you could try recalibrating the battery if it's displaying false statuses

Done battery calibrating but then phone shutdown itself during the process, I think might be the battery causing it.
I asked the sales person in a HTC store regarding this, might be hardware or faulty battery
I'm having exactly same issue. Did you solve it replacing the battery?
The problem solved!!
Yes, replacing the battery really does solve the problem
Below is the link to the battery I purchased. It's a third party extended battery with additional 200 mAh compared to the stock battery.

I don't know if a calibration would be able to solve your problem. I.e letting your battery be completely drained and recharge it to 100% while it's turned off, and do it again 2-3 times.

Hi all!
Recently, I updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.1.1.
I found that the battery drains. Battery level went down 1% per minute.
I did not meet this problem when I was using 4.0.4
How should I fix this problem?
Thanks a lot

Hmm.. same here. Battery Life was better on ICS, that I agree. But JB is really awesome! Anyway, about your problem, I suggest making sure you kill your apps more frequently (Going into MultiTasking and just sliding them all away). This seemed to help me.
I have been trying to figure this out for days. I've read countless threads with no luck. I've got no mhaic , videos or pictures on my phone and its still using a lot of battery. Willing to offer bounty for a proper fix

Just the worst advice ever. You don't need to manage your tasks. If you've got an app misbehaving that's causing drain, you need to uninstall it and use something that's coded properly.

Well that's true. Sorry if I said it wrong. But yes, some apps are coded horribly like Facebook and cause terrible battery drain. So, just uninstall it.

I don't own this device but my battery was draining so fast and I flashed ,, pimp my rom,, and battery lasts for about 2 days (earlier it was barely 1 day)

Search the forums and download better battery stats - you can also purchase the paid version from the play store - Run that for a day or so and it will tell you what is eating your battery.
Also, some more information (screen captions, your 'average' use, ROM, Kernel, etc) could help this thread a bit as well.
If you have a rogue app that is causing drain, better battery stats will help you find it.
After I got a program which tests mp3 files and removed all which had errors the media scanning stopped going on forever and killing the battery. I don't know which program off hand but I bet there are several free pc apps to test mp3's online.

This does not kill apps. It merely removes them from the Recent Apps list. If you want to kill apps, you have to go to the Apps manager in settings and force stop. Or use apps that offer such functionality like Android System Info.
---
I also have this issue, but force stopping the medisscanner (or related apps) resolves it temporarily. I'll try the mp3 validation suggestion
Solving of Battery drain Issue
Please check on your device on app which using most of the battery. I used GSam Battery Monitor so that it will shown me the most usage of apps consuming the battery. Just tap on it, tap "manage" then tap on "Force stop".
This accually required on every charge, restart or playing / downloading a media files. Some people suggest clear data on media storage, however, it clear all your custom ringtone and others too. By doing Force stop, nothing will be affected....
Enjoy!!
Hi All,
1 week ago, I've installed Advance Task Killer and Android Assistant and later I found that my packet data off when my phone was on idle mode.
I've already tried to freeze both apps via TB, but the condition wasn't change even I uninstalled the apps.
I've searched this problem with google, and I found article related to "Fast Dormancy".
Already tried to enable / disable that feature, but it didn't work (via *#9900#).
I want my packet data always on, even it will make my battery drain faster.
Is there someone out there have the situation like I do?
Thank you.
Wow.. there are no use installing advanced task killer it will consume lot more battery man. And probably that app that causes you this problem. Try removing it
