Hi, what is xda app doing when is in background, because it constantly using the cpu? If you use System Panel and look for it you will see that is doing something every couple of seconds.
Maybe someone with some hacking or programming skills will be able to tell why an app like Xda (witch doesn't refresh) when is in background is constantly draining the battery, in my opinion it should sleep like many other processes.
Thank you.

this is what just happened!
my phone was on my desk for about an hour of not using, them....my secondary phone rings and someone tells me that my phone is closed. i said, wtf? then....i pressed power button.....nothing......picked it up.....the phone WAS HOTTTTTT at the earpiece area and the camera area and it didnt want to turn on. i removed the battery, then it started and the battery was at 4% from 30% on hour ago!
what was this? anyone else with this?
You were running GPU hungry apps on the background of the phone. Don't worry, just make sure you have a ha bit of closing and deleting apps that you don't need.
i didnt start anything......and how come it was dead....and only started after pulling the battery out!?

The way I understand it is this...
Google spends a TON of money developing the Android Platform. It was orginally and continues to pride itself on multi tasking. That said they didn't just forget that programs running in the background could drain the battery. Android manages your apps perfectly and to think they would leave it up to a 3rd party software to assist the OS is a joke. App management software is bad, all bad.
More people come on here asking why their phone suddenly died, and majority of them have app management programs. Don't know if they are causing the issue, but it seems possible.
Hope that helps

:multiple face slaps at the same time from all possible directions:
Just thought I would let everyone know my experience with the app
nice app lots of functions etc
but I would avoid using it for any length of time as it is a battery killer.
kept my device from going into deep sleep rather my device would spend more time at min freq (100mhz)
perhaps stupid of me but hey
thought I would let everyone else know how stupid I was.

First negative i have read for that app and it does not stop my device going into deep sleep . It is an app that you use to solve a problem not one to run all the time .
jje
Actually does run all the time :-\ learn before u speak lol

I have a stock s3 every time I go to kill tasks it shows 49 apps were killed... why is there so much stuff running in background is there a way to stop this without rooting this phone?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There should be no need. Itws better imo to kill the ones that show up in running that use aldt of ram.
Without rooting? Yes.
Setting, application manager, all, then you can click on certain ones and click disable.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Before you start killing random apps you need to know what they are and why they are running. There are a couple of programs in the play store that tell you if the a problem battery wise. I do not recommend an app killer because all the programs restart eating more battery life each time the restart. Most of them are supposed to be running.
Should stop using task killers, that'll make it worse.

My note was draining battery like crazy even on power saver mode, it would drain like 10% during night on power saver.
I did a factory reset it seemed to fix it for a day and then now it is draining again fast, I have all power consuming things shut off I don't know what else to do.
If there is one more tip for this would be really useful.

Some application is messing. Depends how many you have installed, try disabling them and then run each one by one...

That's a good start, 10% on power saver could be a lot on a phone with no apps, but if you have lots of apps its not that much, even on power saver some aps may be accesing the network, if you are connected to a wifi that would eat some battery as well.
If you added no apps and this happens then it could be a bad battery, unlikely but stuff like that happens.

Remember to sign out of apps like Google+, YouTube and Facebook, if you are signed in. If I notice quick battery drain, I'm often still signed in.
I dont know if the battery is bad or im missing something that is draining it

Is there a way to know if I have a bad battery please? I'm really concerned.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, I believe the only way you'd be able to really measure the mAh of your battery would be to compare with another of the same.
Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage?
Might help us narrow it down a little. Sounds like a wake lock but could also be due to terrible cell reception
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Do you know your device and android fairly well? I am guessing its a combination of the above stated bad reception and your os & apps update schedule. There is alot of way to save power by going through and changing your notifications and app updates, as well as various settings on the os (ex. Switching to airplane mode @ night or at least turning off your data) so that your facebook isnt uselessly refreshing at 2:18am to see what club steve is at while your sawing logs.

I don't why the music player is using battery although I didn't open it once since I took it off the battery and the previous charge had the same thing too the music player was second on the list

can i stop all running apps at once ?
Be more specific. For what, why, and how
I believe that going to the app switcher (square button) then hitting Clear All will close everything.
no ..
even when i close the, they still running i think .. i want to stop them all .. form the app manager

Why exactly? No good can come from doing this.
You can go to developer options and set the process limit lower.

What you're asking to do is pointless and counterproductive. Android manages memory for maximum efficiency already

In theory. Don't forget this is 5.1.0
Closing all in recent tasks will close programs that are not set to always run in the background. Force quitting all apps is pretty pointless though, and if not regularly like a task manager will hurt battery life as the apps fire back up again.
Your best bet is to use Greenify, add all the apps you want quit, and use a custom action like double tap to hibernate and then shut the screen off. This will force quit all applications you select.
