I was recently running MIUI 12/24 with the whole updated radio/prl combo pack and having absolutely no problems at all and battery life was great.
I then switched to Myns RLS 5 yesterday and my battery life has been terrible. I have tried both the stock kernel that was included in the kernel and the Netarchy 4.3 kernel and both are giving me about 90% android system usage for the battery even while the phone is sleeping. I have hardly any apps installed at all aside from the ones that were already on the Rom.
Why is my system usage so high and what can I do to fix it?
Thank you.

Hmm, this happens after a clean install before even adding ANY apps at all? Do you have facebook installed? Or are you signed in to facebook for HTC sense? I've read a couple posts showing that the fb for htc sense was holding a wake lock if it was set to sync live feed (change that from settings>accounts and sync>facebook for htc sense). If you use the actual facebook app, the chat feature will keep the phone awake unless you are in the chat part, and hit menu>go offline. It;s a place to start, if you do indeed have facebook. If you don't use facebook at all, can you use system panel to kill all tasks and see if you still have a wake lock after that? If I remember right from Myn's thread, did you say that you already tried changing your PRI back to 1.77? the 1.90 was giving me a wake lock for some reason, it was strange. If you didn't try that, even though the 1.90 was working fine for you on MIUI, I would still try rolling it back to 1.77 just to see if it makes a difference. What other apps do you have installed other than what the ROM came with? Any at all??

I haven't tried reverting back to 1.77 because I was running 1.90 fine with no problems at all on Calkulins EVIO 2 Rom. This all happened when I flashed RLS 5. I do have facebook for android installed along with facebook for htc sense. I also have chomp, system panel, weatherbug elite, and watchdog lite. I have no new apps installed that are different from anything else that I have ever had installed so I don't think that it is an app that is causing the problem for me.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. I would still try downloading system panel, and killing all of your running apps. (the ones that need to restart will). After that, see if you are still getting your wakelock. Then restart the apps one at a time, and see if any of them are causing it. (apps can go rogue, I've had it happen. Deleted the app, reinstalled, and it was behaiving normally) So just to rule some more stuff out (process of troubleshooting), I would try that. At least you'll have a little better idea of which direction to go in. You can rule out a rogue app, or determine if that is indeed the issue. Things happen sometimes man.
EDIT: I've heard of many times of weatherbug causing a wakelock. People had to delete it and reinstall, and it was fine ( i dont get it, but it worked). So maybe try freezing it with titanium backup or os monitor, just for some testing. See if it changes anything. You'll figure it out.

I dont think the PRI is the cause, I am now running 1.90 and havent noticed a difference in battery life. As for your awake time, flash Calk combo radio zip. youre probably not running the latest RAD.11.19. HTC 15 kernel wont work properly without it.
OK, so this never seemed to be the case before, but when I check my battery use details, Maps always seems to be the biggest eater of battery. Even when I haven't even used the app. For example, as of right now, Maps has used 40%, while Cell Standby is 25% and Android System - 18%
what gives? has anyone else noticed this? why would this be? or maybe it's a function of my ROM?

I've seen this too, but it doesn't seem to actually be eating my battery life. It was happening on and off in CM6 (froyo), but now that I'm on CM7 nightlies, I have not seen it happen for some time.
ok, maybe I won't worry about it then, since I'll definitely be switching to CM7 when it's officially released.
Seems to happen on maps 5.0 if you can uninstall the update and go back to 4.5
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 6.1 and Google Maps 5.0.
When I do use the maps or navigation, I do notice that the battery drain is quite significant. Its not a big deal though because I don't use it that often and have a car charger.
Just out of curiousity, are you using the stock Email app? I had mine setup with my work email and for some reason whenever I would access it, it would launch a handful of apps in the background as well (Gmaps, Market, XDA, FML, WeatherBug). I tested it many times. I would force close those apps and anytime I opened Email they would all be running again.
I switched to K9 mail and haven't had the issue occur again...
After about 6 months using my Incredible, today it's gotten severely slow! I noticed that it was taking 20-30 seconds to bring up my email, delete an email, etc. Then I noticed that the Google Maps update was still running from yesterday. Updates have always been reasonable fast.
I stopped the update and attempted to uninstall Google Maps thinking that I could reinstall it later. The uninstall ran on too and never completed so I stopped that as well. As a test I'm now running a Lookout "security scan" which normally runs about a minute or so. This time it's about 75% done and it's been running for 30 minutes.
What I've done so far is stop apps that I didn't need running and reboot. No change.
My QUESTION is, is there anyway that I can determine what's eating my processor cycles or any other way to determine what's going on? I'm assuming that's what's making it SO SLOW.
Have you just tried to reboot it? That can usually get the phone back to normal. If it keeps happening is when you want to look into other possible reasons it may be happening.
I have a rooted incredible and using Warm Z TwoPointTwo and I was using wave launcher and that caused my phone to become useless cuz it was too slow.. so check if there is an application like it... another is launch -X pro can cause that too..
i think that the gingerbread mods for Myns have slowed it down a hair too.. i just did it but i will keep an eye on it.
I really like the look though for sure!
SD card have ample free space?

Did you install anything before it seemed to get slow? Are you running a stock rom, rooted, etc.? Just would help to know the basics.
Sometimes random apps will do this to my phone. Usually when it does I haven't rebooted my phone in several weeks so I just reboot it to start it out clean and the lag goes away.
If you download watchdog you'll be able to see what's eating up your resources, but I wouldn't suggest you running it 24/7 because it eats up a decent amount of resources on its own.
Hi All,
Not new here, but never had to post before, so it will not allow me to post to the SlimRom section under Original Android development. Just a bit of background: I have installed almost every ROM & Kernel out there for AT&T Galaxy S3. My favorite so far with the best battery life (and this is just MY favorite and MY opinion, everyone's is different), is SlimRom with BMS Kernel using SetCPU app, with Powersave/Noop for Screen Off and OnDemand/Sio for Screen On. Using an Anker extended battery, with 25% screen brightness, playing Candy Crush 1-2 hours a day, Facebook, web, a lot of email and text, I get 36 hours of battery, sometimes more. I also use Greenify, which is an excellent app, to hibernate running processes, which saves a lot of battery.
Since I have installed the rom, I have been downloading the weekly updates just to test them and try them out. With the 6.5 release, I noticed a significant difference in my battery drain. I uninstalled the apps I did not want with Titanium Backup as I normally do. But a few hours later, I noticed Google Play Music was back on my phone. I uninstalled again. Music came back again after reboot. It does not show in my "downloaded" apps, but it shows in my running processes and is using a considerable amount of battery usage. I can end the process, but of course it restarts after reboot. It also does not show as an option for Greenify to hibernate. I have never used Play Music, have nothing uploaded to it. It just bothers me that somehow, the app is being pushed to my phone without my consent at any time. Of course, I can go back to the official build of SlimRom, but just wondered why and how it keeps installing.
Thanks for any advice given!

Did you notice when it reinstalls (reboot, download, etc.)?
Also, you could use TiBu to freeze it. I'm not so sure how it always gets back on your device after you uninstall it but logically, only the play store could push it, if that's the case, you could try clearing your store's data and see if it still pushed it (assuming that is what reinstalls it).

It installs about 2 minutes after reboot, before I open any apps, email, etc. I did freeze with TiBu shortly after I posted the thread, and of course that worked. I guess it's the pesky thought of it installing by itself. I will unfreeze and try clearing the Play Store data as you suggested. It just seems it has to be something new in that build of SlimRom since the official build 6 and the 6.2 weekly did not reinstall it.
Thanks for your help!

I don't use SlimBean myself but it's a possibility. Seems odd though.
Glad to hear freezing it worked. Let us know if clearing the Store's data helps.
For some reason Google play services is keeping my phone awake all day. This started happening after the 5.1.1 update. I even did a factory reset when I updated. All the fixes I found online require root.. Anyone have a solution?
a good ap to save battery power is called battery doctory.
Google Play Services (which I will abbreviate as GPS) began sucking a lot more battery than usual on my phone as of a week ago. GPS updates automatically and silently install without your knowledge every few weeks. Occassionally, they introduce a bug and everyone's phone begins freaking out, seemingly like magic. I think the latest version may have some sort of bug, but it's hard to tell for sure.
First, what version of GPS was installed on your phone? Go to settings-applications-all-Google Play Services and look at the version number under the app name.
The latest version is 8.3.00.
One way to see if the app version is bugged is to uninstall the updates and see if the battery life improves. With updates uninstalled, your Google apps will basically be useless though. This technique isn't fool proof though, because at any time, GPS may update itself again. This also means that you can't downgrade, because the app will update without your knowledge.
Try uninstalling updates to see if your battery improves. If it does, try using it like normal until GPS updates itself. At that point, battery drain should kick up again.
PS: Are you using any Android Wear?
