I had the same issue on the latest leaked base. You might want to flash a different kernel or rom. Though I think the kernel would do the trick. The process taking up that huge amount of battery is google services. My battery drained from 100% to 14% in 4hours.

The only two way to find out are to wipe and install one app/widget at a time or to start from your base and uninstall apps/widgets until the behaviour stops because it sounds like some app/widget is stopping your phone from entering deep sleep....
Killing apps won't work because they will auto restart and autokilling won't work either because it will keep your phone from deep sleep too

It depends how long you sleep...

The OP already answered but I could have predicted it already, apps which keep the OS from sleeping don't show up, instead it shows as the infamous AndroidOS bug (or aos bug)

Btw I already assumed it was common knowledge here (since it was mentioned is several general(non tech) news sites in the Netherlands) that last week a research group published results about a tool they developed that automatically can find "wake lock"/no sleep bugs in the code for android apps and that they found that about 1 in 4 apps examined contained these bugs

Talk about WOW!
I turned my one x off fully charged this morning so I could use it when my S3's battery drained using it.
Long Story but anyways, when I tried to turn it on it was completely dead.
I guess when the phone isnt used the hardware drains the battery maybe for safety but it really made me mad sitting there with a two dead phones.
Normally I use the one x first then switch and I guess thats how I will have to do it everytime.

also the graph is wrong and i am not sure where those figures come from because it was off this morning

Sudden battery drain and warm back?

Hi guys,
last few days I'm going crazy with my HOX, its just performing badly.
Battery drain is obvious, and it is constantly warm or very warm on top.
I dont have anything special on it, using it for business, several mail accounts with Smart Sync, FB, TW, LN, Viber. Hardly play any games. Surf a lot on 3G/WiFi, but I need to charge it very often, every few hours.
What to do?

Try gsam battery monitor. Look for it in play store. I don't think it requires root.
I don't think viber would cause so much drain. But a good battery monitor app Will help you pin point rogue apps.

Oh no Rott i understand. Well it does sound like an app causing an issue and like fellow members suggest try one of the apps to download i have the betterbatterystats old free version if u need it it still work on the htc one x. Or one other but also way more annoying thing you can do is factory resseting ur phone download the apps one by one and then you can see what app is causing the issue. But yeah somehow using the HOX over cellphone data rather then Wifi seems to drain it fast i do have the same issue. it is unpleasent. you also could look in to something like this http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008LK1Z4G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1EPR23ZPMBS2F

disable fastboot, autosync
Had the same problem. No application really helped. Batter stat applications can't really find the culprit. Juice defender didn't eliminate the problem either. My phone has been running two weeks without the problem. This is what I tried.
1. Disable fastboot. I previously had fastboot enabled. Right beside the option, it says if you enable fastboot, some application may not work properly.
2. Disable autosync. For sense weather, use manual sync.
Other than that, don't disable google location services. If I disable google location, my phone got warm every time I went to a different town.
I wonder if its an antenna problem. If you have a bad connection in the antenna it will cause battery drainage.
How is your connection on WiFi?
Well it lookes like it is draining but mostly when your screen is on.
Heat in the back is the typical symptom of high CPU usage.
I too suggest gsam.
It might be a kernel bug where the clocks are stuck at max clocks. Try rebooting a few times and check it with setcpu.
Three weeks after fastboot and autosync disabled, my phone's back got hot again without using anything and screen off. OS monitor showed CPU clock at 384Mhz. A reboot solved the problem. It happened that I used google map and navigation earlier that day. During the past three weeks, I had not used them. The sudden drain of battery happened when I was in a different town I haven't been before.
So, I guess it is kernel bug related with map. Particularly, I suspect it was the auto cache feature that's causing the problem. However, map auto cache cannot be disabled.

Abysmal battery life on JB

I updated to JB last night, fully charged my phone, unplugged it and then went to sleep. When I woke up I only had 50% battery left, previously on ICS when the phone was idle over night it used between 2-5% max.
I then charged the phone again this morning and now 3hrs 10mins later, I'm already down to 66% and I have hardly used the phone. It's showing as:
Whatsapp 36% !?!
Android OS 17%
Android System 16%
Facebook 7%
HTC Sense 6%
Mediaserver 4%
Camera 3%
Is anyone else having any problems? With ICS I would charge my phone in the morning at work and it would easily last until the following morning, unless I was heavily using Facebook or playing a game. I thought JB was supposed to improve the battery life, not make it worse.
Give it a few charging cycles before complaining.
Have you rebooted the phone since the update.?
Some apps still are not quite complitable with jb,especially with new HTC sense libs or api.

Not me personally, but it did reboot by itself randomly. It's never done that on ICS. I think I'll do as you suggest, give it another day or so. If it still hasn't improved I'll try a factory reset.
What does the Power Saver option actually do? Does it switch off all data sync, lower the screen brightness etc?
Do a full wipe. Some apps could be screwed up while updating.

Most likely an app that isn't backing off nicely. When an app finds your data/Wi-Fi is off is probably getting in a panic that it can't call the mothership (or download some ads!) and is waking your phone or keeping it awake constantly while it tries and tries.
That app would cause the same issue if you turned off data and Wi-Fi manually.

Phil

Try Nova, I personally find it better than Apex.
So I installed android revolution 15.0 and the battery doesn't seem to be good at all... Don't know if its a JB thing or this particual Rom. When I check the usage number on power section, it says android os has a 2 hr wake up time... I also installed betterbattery stats and I am getting this wl1271_wake under the kernel section and this weird surfaceflinger under the processes section... Any insight would be helpful, thanks

I performed a factory reset last night - well the new equivalent in JB, which is go to backup and reset the phone.
After the reset, I setup my Google, Exchange, Hotmail and Facebook sync. The only app I installed was Whatsapp. Managed to get the phone to 72% charge before unplugging and going to sleep, I also made sure the initial syncs had all completed before unplugging the charger. This time it went from 72% to 30%, so 40% used while sleeping instead of 50%.
Looking at the stats, I think the battery counters are screwed up. When I first checked this morning, it showed Whatsapp had used just 2%. 10 mins later after a couple of messages, the battery had dropped to 28% and Whatsapp then showed as 32%.
Android OS never used to show much usage, the screen was always the thirstiest, but this morning it Android OS showed as ~30% which then dropped to 22% after using Whatsapp. Perhaps this is due to the screen time being integrated into the app counters as mickfitz said.
As you can see from the pic below, Whatsapp doesn't appear to be keeping the phone alive during the night as Phil suggested:
Surely others here use Whatsapp? Is no one else getting massive battery drain since the OTA JB update?
The only other things I can think of are the company policy settings which are applied to the phone when I setup my Exchange account, or Google Now - but for this I'm just using the default settings.
[EDIT] I'm not using Power Saver mode btw and I don't want to if it shuts off data while idle - it will mean I don't receive Whatsapp alerts
[EDIT 2] I've just had a proper look at the 2nd screenshot. The line chart doesn't match up with the battery % shown. It was definitely at 72% when I went to sleep yet the chart only shows 50%. I'll leave it charging all evening and check the line chart to make sure it's at 100% then give it another go tonight.
not sure if this app will help us to get a clearer picture of what is happening..

Trying to solve phone staying awake

So im on stock rom jellybean unrooted, i dont sync anything its turned off i update stuff as i use it like facebook, email etc.Im sure if you check i won be the only one having this issue .The other night i was night shift and as phone signal is very poor in areas i work i often put my phone in airplane mode to save the battery.I did this the other night and noticed as soon i cam out of AP mode and started to use the phone the battery lost about 10% in the space of 5/10 mins.So i lookeed at battery useage.
You can seen from the first pic the screen was off and and wifi/network disabled yet something kept the phone awake.In the second shot it happens again later on in the morning,and during the time the phone appears to wake randomly even though screen is off etc
So last night put the phone on charge over night and when i took it off charge same thin happened battey dropped alot, this time screen was off but wifi/network on see pic 3 , it randomly wakes and sleeps
any ideas how to stop this as its draining my battery massively
Get betterbatterystats (search xda).
Then run the app and let phone sit for about 1 hour unused.
Then post the main screen, kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks here.

Then its not gonna track your normal usage, granted leaving it over night is a GREAT idea, but putting it in AP mode is just counter-productive?

Keep wifi enabled, that may reveal some apps that keep phone awake by syncing.
I have a similar problem. An analysis with BetterBatteryStats showed that what keeps my phone awake most of the time is
GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndPoint

Unfortunately, I haven't found yet a way to solve the problem.
Google now is off, gtalk is offline, location reporting is off, Play store updates is off, Admob is off.
As you, I sync almost everything manually. That wakelock is there even if I turn off autosync.
The last thing I tried was resetting to factory defaults. That wakelock was there even without inserting my google account.
So, long story short: I wish you that your problem is not GTALK_ASYNC_CONN. Otherwise it will drive you crazy.
so heres my stats from over night.off charge for about 6 hrs and lost 4%,no long periods of it being awake like before but as you can see it is being awake at regular intervals,had wifi and network on

FInd 7a - battery drain and solution thread

Hi
I have received the Find 7a . Tho only issue I have with that is the huge battery drain when off ( even with data and wifi off )
Therefore I want to create a thread where we can share the solutions for this battery drain issue.

It's a known issue, I'm actually in a pilot group with a product manager and developer using a new firmware based on 1.2 that seems to help.
In the meantime, change the lockscreen from Colorlock as that has been known to hold a wakelock and disable Google's location services.
After I did that on 1.2 or 2.0 beta my drain shot down to .5%/hr.
I too am part of said pilot group that Sean mentioned and can confirm that a more battery saving firmware is in the works.
Give oppo some time to work the issue out, it's starting to look better.

Freezing applications/disabling them is basically the same as removing them, except that they still take up space on the system. You can freeze applications using Titanium Backup as you said and if you have root of course. If you want to completely remove the applications you should get a file explorer that can request root permissions, then look for the applications you want to remove, these can usually be found in "/system/app/" or "/system/priv-app/". You can also remove them using adb, this is a little more complicated though, if you want to do it this way I'd recommend you to Google it. Be careful when removing files from the system though, as you may run into some weird situations, you can always make a backup of course. (when restoring back-upped files, remember to set the correct permissions)
enabling google location services do not have impact on standby battery drain, seems changing the lock screen and freezing default launcher (I use Nova) helped

I'm on 2.0 beta, changing that to Revolving lock and disabling Google's location services (gimps the phone a bit sure but easy to enable and gps is still fine) and my drain is down to .6%/hr. Not too shabby, and will be testing tonight with location back on.
have been using the find 7a for nearly a week now. all i can say is...be patient, people! the first 2 days i had it, the battery drain is unbearable(8~12hr use and it's gone), but after 3~4 full cycle charged (start charging when below 10% then fully charged using 'battery doctor'), from the 4th day, the battery is amazing, easily get past 24 hours of use with data and wifi always on, screen on time 3 hours+ no problem. my current used time: 34 hr 26 m, with screen on 2 hr 7m, battery still 33%. Google location service is on all the time, Google now is off all the time. GPS off most of the time. running color OS 2.0 beta.
so be patient and charge your battery for few full cycles.
i hope this may help you guys.
Even Oppo has publicly stated the massive battery drain is a known issue affecting all Find 7a phones sold to date so I'm thinking denying there is an issue is a bit silly at this point. Also 2 hours screen time with 33% remaining is a terrible performance that sits at approximately half of what this phones current competition is offering.
Having has this from day one I would also point out that one of the problems associated with this is the inconsistency. I normally will see around 15 percent drain overnight but occasionally its as little as 5 or as high as 70. The problematic part comes in when you figure I've spent most nights testing some new scheme to see if I've made any improvements to the standy life.
Nor do I think its a good idea to accept excuses. On my N5 I never turned anything off, bluetooth, wifi, google now, location, etc. All on all the time and never had a problem getting 4 hours of screen time and never used more than 5% over night. That would of course make it nothing special since I haven't owned a phone since back somewhere around the sgs2 that couldn't do the same thing and there have been lots of phones between here and there. You shouldn't have to turn the phones features off to get the phone to work, being forced to means you are getting a sub industry standard experience. Calling it anything else is a lie.

Having WiFi on all the time should not drain battery. I think your problem is something else. But yeah, 2% per hour is terrible.

But yes, always scan for WiFi should be off. But in my opinion, turning off WiFi when screen is on hurts more than it helps. WiFi has to constantly connect every time you touch your phone.
Should be able to get excellent standby drain with WiFi on constantly.
gonna try gsam and let you know. i was rooted but i decided to go back to full stock, get ota etc.
i tried fully wiping, flashing stock 2.22.401.4 rom + firmware and then ota to 2.22.401.5 and restore everything from backup but the drain is still quite similar. what's surprising is, the build versions i had before, they had excellent standby time, like 2% gone after 9 hours. so its really a bummer why the battery is just slowly and painfully draining away :\

But yes, always scan for WiFi should be off. But in my opinion, turning off WiFi when screen is on hurts more than it helps. WiFi has to constantly connect every time you touch your phone.
Should be able to get excellent standby drain with WiFi on constantly.

We need the time held awake and times waking device screens. If you aren't rooted, and/or haven't installed gsam root companion, you won't see those as options.
But they are the only screens that matter in this case. If you can't get them, we have no clue what's waking your device.
We need those 2 shots and a good long discharge to see what's going on.

If you can.... Please go from 100 to 10 or 15 percent, then post the main gsam screen, app screen, held awake time screen, times waking device screen and for fun, the radio screen.
Need a full picture to try and help. ?

I can tell you already, with all those social apps... And especially if location is on... You're going to get average battery life at best.
You should Greenify any social apps you can, that you can live without notifications. It'll make a huge difference.

I tried a lot of things but came to the same conclusion you did. I guess with the amount of social media apps+auto sync going on it's bound to drain. However if I do come across a possible solution then I'll definitely post it here.
Post the screens I suggested still, in case there is another issue. From 100 to 10 percent or so tho ...

It was the syncing. Turned off sync and deleted some of the social apps to check.
Standby it barely drains now. Already unrooted and back to stock. Thanks for the help.
SOLUTION
i dont use mobile data but my network mode was set to gsm/wcdma/lte auto. ive noticed that whenever its set to anything thats auto, it causes standby drain trying to figure out the appropriate connection. anyways, long story short, changed network mode to GSM only and voila!

On fully stock Rom with disabled bloat. On build 2.22.401.5.
My phones WiFi was actually off(no idea why it shows on)
My phones signal was full. No background apps. Still ~2% per hour seems a lot. Any ideas?

The same thing happened to me I had high battery usage from cell standby. What I did to stop the battery drain from cell standby was to turn on airplane mode and then I can still turn on wifi while airplane mode is on problem solved
Had the same problem. In my case, the main culprits were Skype and WiFi background scanning. The last two versions of Skype don't play nice at all with the android 4.4.3 update. Anyhow, after removing Skype and disabling WiFi scanning from the advance WiFi settings, battery life went back from dismal (13 hours with 5% left) to amazing (20 hours with 40% left) at the end of the day.
Hope that helps,
Cheers
