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.
I am trying to get the best batt life out of my Hawk 2.3.4 V4 rom. I would have posted this there, but I cant due to the 10 post min. I pay quite alot of attention to what is being said in the forums, I just dont post alot.
I want to know what processes exactly are eating up the CPU time in the android processes, so that I can get rid of the ones I dont need.
Try looking in the market for an app called better battery stats. Its a really good app and when read correctly it will give you the information you need.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I guess I should clarify. Better battery stats is not a process monitor. All it foes is keep track of how many times each app accesses the CPU. There is also an option for how many "partial wake locks" are being performed by each app. Basically a partial wake lock is when the screen is off and an app starts working while the phone is off. Many people have had good luck with this program. I for one have found that having an alarm on in my phone, regardless of when its going to go off (even 12+ hours from now) will cause partial wake locks. And staying logged into Facebook will cause massive battery drain on my phone. Hope this helps.

Hello all!!
First let me say this Board is AMAZING!!!!.. This is my first post though ever so be nice! lol
I am running EC05 with ACS ICS v3, have not updated to 5.5 but thinking about it.
It seems for some reason my android system in my battery use is always at 80% no matter what.. I think that is causing some unexpected battery drain... My friend has same phone, but running acs 5.5 and his is about 35% everyday all day..
Anyone have any idea as to why its up that high and anything I can do to tone it down?
Thanks!
May I ask first, why your on froyo? The ginberbread ROMs have come a long way. Better battery life and stable.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The way Android system is reported is different in Froyo than in Gingerbread. Compare apples to apples. Move to ACS 5.5 also and compare.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Actually, I think ACS ICS v3 (all versions for that matter) is a EI22 based ROM. Also, on Froyo, the majority of the battery went to the display (incorrectly), so I think he is on an EI22 ROM, maybe using the EC05 modem? As for battery life, all the usual questions, poor service area? Wifi left on without being connected? What is the awake time? What is waking the phone up?
Good luck!
Edit: I say EI22 which is the official GB, but should be true for any GB ROM.

Grab better battery stats and see what process and wakelocks are highest.
Make sure visual voicemail and gtalk (if you have them) are not running in the background. Also, go to settings>accounts>your syncd accounts and uncheck everything, then recheck only the things you cannot live without.
It also depends on how you use your phone. All apps have to use Android System like all.programs use Windows on a computer. If you use a lot of apps then your percentage would be higher than your buddy who only uses it for a few calls and texts. At the end of the day with 3-4 hours of serious use I have 66% Android system. So compare your usage with him.

Yes I actually did have it on EI22 while on this current ROM, But for some reason my 3g went away and never returned also lost most of my signal.. I even re-flashed it still did not work, SO i went back to the EC05 modem and my 3g and signal started working perfect again, I was affraid to flash to EI22 in fear of same thing happeneing again..

gtalk has been running for a while, I use it alot though So kinda hard to keep it shut off, But i did for now see if anything changes..
Kennyglass,
I'm pretty sure "Android System" is not an android system process. It is definitely CIQ on Gingerbread. Toggle Airplane mode on and off and then go to your system "running services" tab in manage applications. If you see Android System running, tap on it and see if it isn't called "IQ Agent Service." This is CIQ and it is notorious for eating battery.
bpdfs,
Also you need to log out of apps such as Amazon Mp3, Facebook, Google +, Google Maps Lattitude, etc. If you removed your Feeds and Updates Widget from one of your screens, be sure to kill or Force Stop "SNS Service," as it can get in a "restarting" loop without the widget to keep it happy.

I know about CIQ but tht was supposed to be taken care of in all versions of ACS ICS i thought???? tht is a reason i flashed that rom to begin with.
also i do not use any of those apps you are talking about.. so i know thats not an issue...

Gtalk is a BIG user of resources as is any Google apps like Google + and Maps. But on GB the battery stats has better reporting of everything that goes through android systems. Before on Froyo a lot of that ended up wrongly added to Display percentage.

I have a NoCIQ ROM and if you check Android system a LOT of stuff comes up. WiMax shows up, system settings, notification bar, VPN settings, saving of settings....tons of stuff including Android systems. If you notice there is no spot on there for applications. So where do you think they end up? Every app uses phone resources to run which is under Android system. After having my phone in standby all night it is 33%. I use it for an hour or two and it goes to 66%. CIQ if you have it runs all the time attached to a lot of files as seen in the difficulty to remove those files. CIQ had to have it's umbilical cord cut to keep it from running.

I am on Legendary 2.1 and don't have the bluetooth test or slate test running. Other than that your list is typical. I started at 35% off charge this morning. Used XDA app for 45 minutes maybe and it now says 85%. This is not an issue to worry about. Battery drains can be found in Betterbatterystats, not checking useless percentages. Android system is everything on your phone. If you want it to read low, don't run anything. It will be in the 20's or 30's then and cell standby will become high.

Maybe it's because the Android System really is using that much battery. I mean, if you're not using other things very often, then I would expect the general OS to be using the majority of the battery. I do know that on CM7, the android system percentage isn't that high. It could just be an error with the way things are being reported, but too would suggest BetterBatteryStats and check things out there. That will really tell you what's going on, like spare parts did with Froyo. The spare parts app doesn't even work with GB because I think it says the way GB does and reports things is so much different than Froyo.
Either way, if you're getting good battery life, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're having serious drain, BBS will tell you what is causing it so you can fix it.
It is a leak with the lock mod. And also Samsung ****ed up their code for reporting battery.

I was going to go with your Revival, But really wanted that 4G drop down from the top.... but I love ACS, but I also know in 5.5 there is no 4g drop down.. ANother reason why I havent no upgraded to it yet...
Then what's up aosp displaying that android is like 10% even with the phone is on.... correct coding for battery?

Hi I'm having a bad battery drain from android system. I'm assuming it's a wake lock but I can't figure it out by looking at better battery stats so if someone cud remind me the adb command to pull the history and take a look at it if really appreciate it.

What I found about this problem on my GS3 is that this happen when I use Google maps and Navigation. It seems to keep the location services even when application is closed. I was able to reproduce this 3 times now. The way to fixed is to go to all applications find the Maps then remove all updates and then try to Disable the application then reboot ( you can't completely disable the Maps because is considering a system apps and after the reboot will start again but you can do the same thing one more time or until android system change to system from Gsiff_daemon or gone as aprocess). Then you can install again Google maps updates. Eventually will happen again but let's hope for update from Samsung or Google maps.
Here is the solution if you want to delete Gsiff_daemon file since you are rooted. To see if you have this problem hit the reflesh button on your battery summary screen:

Also here is the whole tread about Gsiff_daemon problem:

IN RELATION TO GSIFF_DAEMON
do any of you guys have the "increase volume in pocket" setting on in phone-->settings?
also do any of you have motion settings enabled and/or autorotation on?
Seems it has to do with the gyro issue
also are you guys rooted or non-rooted?

Jellybean didn’t solve it. Gsiff_daemon just popped up for me. Just renamed it AGAIN.
Hopefully it won't pop up again

Bad android system battery drain
Hey guys,
so if nobody found the solution yet to this problem, i have a possible one. I researched all day today about this problem and decided to start testing things. After doing a few tests, my battery at the moment is doing great. Its estimated time remaining on standby is 12 days. its kinda crazy lol.
anyways so I took off my LTE network and just set it to regular GSM or CDMA (depending on your provider, mine was CDMA) in Settings > More settings > mobile networks > network mode.
I also went into Settings > Application Manager. Scrolled towards the right to the 'All' tab. Went into the apps I dont use and unchecked 'show notifications' box, and also cleared cache. Also, I disabled Samsung Account, Samsung Backup Provider, and Samsung Cloud Data relay.
Then after that, I went to Settings > Backup and reset , and I unchecked Backup my data, and automatic restore.
I'm still testing. My wakelocks are still really really high. About 130/hour. I'll let you guys know more if I find anything else.
UPDATE: I let my S3 sit on my night table all night unplugged. The battery went from 95% to 91%. My android system went from
35-45% usage down to 6-8%. average 0.5%/hour battery drain in standby. Android system is still giving me wakelocks though, approx.
60/hour in standby. But when I checked betterbatterystats, the deep sleep was activated the whole time, and not partially wakelocked.
I really hope this helps you guys. Ill try turning on some of the apps today to try and pinpoint exactly where this battery drain is coming
from.
no matter what phone ive ever had, ive never gotten battery life like aot of you guys do. i dont know how you do IT but ive given up trying.. Even . even with roms i cant. i am on stock wiht note 2 and it is so bad that i can unplug and not touch my phone and it goes to 90 percent with the screen off within 20 minutes . i have sync gps wireless and bluetooth off. and my screen goes black in 10 seconds. one thing is when i go to running programs it shows alot so i use the broom to clean it and then when i check back to ruining programs a minute after, there are lots of apps open again. even things like word with friends that of course wouldn't be open if i didn't open it. have you heard of this/. or is it normal? would you suggest a hard reset? any suggestions would be appreciated. im not as savvy with flashing roms on here as i was with early phones so id prefer to say on stock. thanks so much

Phones aren't the same each one is different. What battery performance I get may not be the same as you as our chips etc may run slightly different.
With that said, the biggest influence over battery performance is the kernel. I run saber kernel 42.4 and get 1% loss per hour with the screen off.
Of course you can try that kernel and see how it works for you. There are a lot of tips threads in these forums but I would advise you to turn off tts any and all sounds on your phone, by that I mean keyboard sounds etc.
Then you need to download better battery stats and greenify. The first will tell you what apps are eating your battery and the second will let you force close the app until you restart it.

+1 for greenify. I would also look at xposed boot manager and recciever stop. Grenify puts programs to sleep and the other 2 stop them starting in the first place. You have to be rooted but you will definitely notice the difference
