You clearly have something running that is draining your battery like crazy, either find out which app and remove it or perform a factory reset.

I know it's a pain in the arse, you could also try a factory reset.
If you do? Don't forget to back up any important stuff like phone numbers ect.

Draining battery completly within 5 hours with screen OFF, your device must almost be hot at the end of this!
There's indeed something preventing your device from going into deep sleep and using its specific low-consumption core for it. Tegra 3 can drain battery pretty fast when screen is on and using its full potential, but standby time is pretty good
Do as said above, finf what app is responsible, or if you can't, do a facory reset

Looks like user error to me. There are a lot of times that your phone is awake and the screen isn't even on. Your apps are what is killing your battery life.

most people get between 4-5 hrs of screen ON time, this has nothing to do with ur gnex, it's related to an app u have, try to locate it and uninstall, or mail the developer about the issues u're getting with it.
you have bad signal and your apps are keeping the phone awake.
You can't seriously blame the phone for what is user error.
Your apps are what's causing the massive drain and unless you do away with the apps causing this drain, your battery life will always seem crap. I suggest you uninstall KTREweather and find a weather app/widget that's more reliable.
I take it it's this app you're using? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rdHJlLmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
Judging by its features, I'm not suprised it kills your battery. Live radar and storm tracking? Who needs that?
You have serious drain from awake apps, and looks like you're doing a lot of streaming radio/music? And your signal is absolutely terrible. All of these together will absolutely drain your battery.
use this free app called diagnosis to figure out which apps or processes are causing you trouble https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en

generally, i dont let anything run on my phone that i dont want it to run. if you have root, there is a good app called autostarts that lets pick what app you want to start up when the phone boots. only when you actually open that app itll start up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en

Tbh I let Android do all of the app management. I also only install apps that I'm going to use as well as keeping them running to a minimum in the background.
If you don't like the battery life buy a bigger battery.

Really? Do I need to find one of the few battery life screenshots I have to prove you wrong? 4-5hrs on stock battery, 6 on extended.
Why do people keep saying this ****? Get apps that don't eat your battery. Until then, don't try to claim someone else is wrong.

Htc one x battery dies overnight...battery stats show android os use the most.

Hi,
I have been having a problem of battery.
1. Battery dies from being 100% overnight.
2. Phone randomly shuts itself having more than 40% battery but shows 0 battery when it restarts.
3. Phone restarts quite frequently when taking a picture. (once a week)
Please let me know what should I do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same drain problem as your number 1, but not the other 2 issues. The funny thing is it only started a week or so ago, before that it was fine. I've been running the Viper rom, and Faux kernel without a hitch for over a month up until now.
I used to get a day out of the battery, and 2.5-3 hour screen on which was fine IMO, but not anymore.
I'm wondering if a recent app update has caused the issue, just speculating though, also it seems to be that the drain is happening when I'm not using the phone, when I do use the handset for whatever it uses the battery as normal.
Not trying to hijack your thread, just thought I'd give my two pennies worth as I'm having a similar problem.

I think you may be right because I have had the last 2 problems since a while and gave in HTC to repair the phone but it still hasnt been solved and I have got the first problem since the last week itself.

I had an Arc before, so i thought maybe this will help:

You seem to have a lot of applications running and something is keeping your phone awake. Any awake time when the screen isn't on also is an application using your phone.
Go to the play store and check the permissions of your downloaded apps, any app that has the permission to keep your device awake is a candidate for your problem. Uninstall them all and your problem should be gone, re-install one by one and see when it returns.
Regards
Phil
The problem occurred again. I have attached a image of the battery stats.
Thanks in advance.

Need a shot of the 'partial wakelocks' category.
Also, don't stick them altogether into one pic, the board shrinks it massively. Just upload them individually

Here is the individual files
Looks like it's the radio causing the majority of your drain. How is the signal in your location? I see you've switched from EDGE to 3G during the screenshots... if the 3G signal isn't great then it will cause battery drain searching. It might be worth forcing your phone to either 2G or 3G only and seeing what happens.

Actually I just switched to 3g in the last couple of days. I only had 2G previously and the problem still occurred. Its funny that it happens only at night.
I think its the time for a fresh start. Format your phone and start all over.
So, how much will it takes you? Less than 3 hours? I'd say go for it.
At lest it would give you less headache and hopefully more battery.
Good Luck
I've had this problem before too, with baseband and alarm wakelocks.

Crazy battery life loss?

This morning I unplugged my phone and battery percentage was at 100% but about 30 minutes later it dropped all the way down to 71%.. I close my recent apps constantly. The battery was normal the rest of the day (drained pretty quickly but not as quick as the morning). Any reason why this happens? This is the first time it happened. I usually get about 12 hours on a full charge.

perhaps a rogue app. i would do a battery pull and fire it back up. see if it happens again. a thousand people are going to tell you to go get better batter stats. you said this has never happened before so i'd say see if this works. if not, i'd try recalling the most recent app you've downloaded

Help, extreme draining

Hi, i bought one moto z play, almost 2 months ago, and the battery was excellent, you can see on airplane mode, idle, not using it, the phone lates more than 17 days, and had 23% of juice left, after that, i boight another one, both are used, but this one, only last 2 days on the same conditions, airplane mode, even safe mode, not using at all, just 2 days, drains like 2% per hour without even touching it at all, what can i do?
What does it matter what happens when you never use it? And why buy a second phone if you already have one that lasts great?
Just sell the second and start using it like normal people. Nobody can tell you why that difference is and it doesn't matter. They have to last under normal conditions, but what you are doing is pretty much waste of battery. Letting it lie around in airplane mode for days is simply stupid. Then you could just turn it off

Seems like a reasonable test of baseline battery drain to me. I get less than 2% drain per hour with all my background stuff on with my MZP. My old S6 (notorious for bad battery) gets like 3% per day in airplane mode with no screen on time.
Just because his use case isn't your use case, doesn't mean what he's doing is stupid.
OP, I'd be inclined to think you have a hardware issue - you've eliminated all the normal software side stuff that typically is responsible for battery drain.

Exactly, it was just a test, obviusly under normal conditions the drain Is Worst, only 3 SoT and 9 hours of battery, if you compare the two phones, one drains 2% and the other 0.1% por hour, that it's not normal.
If is not hw issue, something is draining battery in background. Have you tried factory reset? Compare settings on both phones, wifi/bt scan, SIM is inside on both, sd card?
Anyway, try to make both phones exactly the same from hw and sw perspective. If you haven't already.

Maybe put a CPU monitor app on both phones, let them both run in the same condition for the same time period, and see if the histories match? Not really sure how else to look, since you said safe mode didn't fix it.

the one with the problem has the december patch update, the good one, the november patch, thats the only difference on both. already tried factory reset, wipe cache, safe mode, even on safe mode, the 2% per hour draining persist.

You can try to upgrade good one to December patch to get the same batter life result
If there's no other difference, then looks like that is hw problem. But I'm still suspecting that you are missing something.

Well, if both phones are the same from hw and sw perspective (except update on "bad one") then most probably cause is hw or update.
Do not try to downgrade, 8.0 is under SOAK (quite long already, but still has issues) and you may try it when is ready (don't flash leaked SOAK, please).
As said above, most likely is hw issue. Sorry for that.

General November update still battery drain 25% on standby in 8 hours

Why? I have restricted all apps I can, still drain very fast....
In my opinion this is a thing that has been on Android (and sometimes Windows and iOS) phones since day 1. Specifically that some people randomly get very poor battery, especially standby battery, which most people are fine. It's a problem with a huge number of unknown causes and few solutions. My recommendation is always - do a hard full system wipe. The three or four times it's happened to me, this was the solution.
With the lack of information you gave there are so many reasons your phone's battery could be sucking now. I suggest doing some research and digging through XDA or some other nerdy site. I don't mean this to sound bad, but figure it out on your own. If you find something that works, share it here.
I went from 4h SOT to 2h SOT after the update same or less usage
Are u rooted? Without root it's pretty hard to do much. First thing u need is data. Find out what is using too much batt. You can use the battery section in settings to get clues. If u have root you can get even more info/data. Once u find the app or process responsible then u can drop the hammer on it.
November build have a lot of bugs, wifi sucks battery sucks, call quality is poor....

Try a clean flash using PixelFlasher or the Android Flash Tool through Chrome browser and skipping the initial setup guide. (Old backups can cause problems). Once your Pixel is running then you can set your apps up!
