Ever since I moved to JB, my phone has been experiencing high battery drain DURING DEEP SLEEP!
Before JB, with everything set up on my phone BEING THE SAME, the phone would only drain 0.5% - 1.0% per hour. Now, according to this:

My battery drain is:
100% total - 71% remaining = 29% used
29% used * 81% used while in DEEP SLEEP = 23.49% total battery drain used while in DEEP SLEEP
7:10 (hrs:min) spent in DEEP SLEEP = 7hr * 60min/hr + 10min = 430 minutes spent in DEEP SLEEP
23.49% total battery drain used while in DEEP SLEEP / 430 minutes spent in DEEP SLEEP = 3.278% drain per hour while in DEEP SLEEP

My battery drain while in DEEP SLEEP basically tripled! Is this happening to anyone else?
My Gnex has the following:
ROM: CodeNameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel: this ROM's built in kernel (3.0.41-tuna-faux123-jb-020)
I have tried two other kernels for about 2-3 days each with the same results, those kernels are: Franco Milestone 5 and Trinity

completely stock gsm 4.1.1 around 3-4% as well.
I don't have better battery stats but from GSam Battery Monitor: It shows my Maps waking the device few hundred times every several hours, it probably wakes the phone about 30-50 times per hour. I used to have Latitude enabled but I disabled that, I'd like to keep Google Now working so I have left the Google's "Location Service" on. Is this normal behavior? It seems ridiculously excessive for the map to wake the phone that often.

GSM GNex + Stock JB Lite + Trinity stable-35 kernel - wifi always on - data sync on - emails on push
to the OP - what does betterbatterystats show for kernel/partial wakelocks and processes?
Also, your calculation doesn't seem to be correct:
81% CPU idle time (deep sleep) is simply the time the CPU was sleeping (7 hrs 10 mins or 430 minutes) versus the total time in unplugged state (8 hrs 48 mins or 528 minutes) so 430/528*100 = 81%. Your phone was in deep sleep for 81% of the time. That doesn't equate to it using 81% of your battery drainage (which you derive by 29% * 81). The remaining 19% of the time your CPU was NOT in deep sleep is what used the majority of your battery drain.
You need to charge to full then reset cpu spy and turn screen off and let it be like that (not use it) for 5-6 hours to get a clear picture of deep sleep batt. drain
Okay, I turned off Google Now and will keep it off for a few days and see if it makes any difference.

You're right! I was thinking more in terms of overall battery drain. But, it's true, it could be draining LIKE MAD when it's on but it doesn't seem likely.
I just popped in a new battery. Only got about <6hrs total time on the last battery, way less than half what I used to get. My BBS doesn't show any useful info because I have it set to SINCE BOOT.
I'll post screen tomorrow. I'm hoping that I can get 1% drain every hour during DEEP SLEEP and I'm at 92% right now. So by morning, hoping to see 84ish% but my guess is that I'll be down to 72% or something.
I turn off data when idle unless on a work order or something but we communicate by text anyway. No data and idle it does not move like at all. Left it all night and after 9hrs it stayed at 81% where I left it. Dang that 3g radio must be very inefficient

Vaj tswv is the creation of people with nowhere left to turn
3g stand by, one night like 7,8 hours, took approximately 9%

About 1-2% at night (consider 8 hours sleeping).
Here's what I got this morning:
I never tether charge my batteries. I use an external charger and charge them. I put in a freshly charged battery and turned the screen off.
I also turned off Google Now and that seemed to help a bit. Now, the phone used:
8% in 4:29 = 1.78% per hour
It looks like Google Now could've been responsible for the 3%+ idle / DEEP SLEEP drain per hour.
I'd like to get back down to a more normal 1% idle/DEEP SLEEP drain per hour like I was getting with ICS.
How are you guys on JB getting <1% drain per hour in DEEP SLEEP? That's simply amazing!
Any input?
Lastly this is with CDMA/LTE.
I'm on GSM and I have only one battery, the 1750mAh that came with it. Have been stuck at home last couple of days so been using my PC for all internet tasks such as emails and browsing etc and also music. Phones been mostly idling and used only for calls, sms and whatsapp texts and so on and it's been on wifi all of that time with data sync on. Down to 37% or so now with about 2.5hrs of screen on time and 39-40 hrs total unplugged time. Most of the time the cpu state was deep sleep.
Your wakelocks show mediascannerservice, maps and amazon as the main ones. There have been some threads about those, maybe this one can point you in the right direction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801378&page=2
On a separate note, I see you use Tasker too lol....any funky profiles you've set? It's a little confusing but I'm trying to get the hang of it.

There's an app called watchdog that I have used in the past to find out what has been braining my battery. It helps you find apps and processes that are using a ton of CPU.
Let's try see if collectively, using this app, we can pinpoint apps or processes that are going haywire.
For this purpose, when you first start the app, you should set it to aggressive. This will alert you when something is using more than 20% CPU at one given time. You can also adjust this to 10% in the options.
I think we have sort of pinpointed it to being a sleep issue, but maybe this can reveal more. Let's get to work!
PS: Real-time CPU will show you instantly what is using CPU on the device. By doing this, however, WatchDog will be at the top of the list since it is working hard to update. Real-Time is cancelled upon closing the app.

I got my GNEX on launch day. Have been using it alot and have gone through many charge cycles. When I go into settings and then battery it looks pretty obvious to me whats killing my battery so quickly. Its the screen.
Ive done a search for battery issues and whats really aggravating me is that there are some reviewers claiming 17 hours of heavy use. Thats just ridiculous. I dont get it. I was hoping the phone would kind of sort itself out after a few days but it doesnt seem to be. With my Eris the key to long battery life between charges was to turn off backround data transfer. I dont see this option in 4.0. I do however keep my Wifi, data, and GPS connections off when not in use. I also turned off animations, and added an all black wallpaper to my screen in hopes it may help a little.
Im in to help figure this out if in fact its not just a power hungry screen.

Those that claim 17 hours of "use" are either GSM users or Verizon users that switched to CMDA instead of LTE. and even then I hardly doubt its heavy use
That doesn't explain why battery life is so low on wifi I have a sprint photon 4g fully loaded, which drains around 5%/ hour while idle but with background apps (ie gmail )
I only have a subset of those apps in my nexus galaxy and it drains closer to 10%/hour while idle.
Both on wifi.
One thing that I've noticed is that the galaxy nexus barely spends any tine in deep sleep. Using CPU spy (available in market - great app btw ) I can see that the nexus has spent only 7% of its time in deep sleep over the past few days - and a majority of the time in 350mhz mode.
My photon was closer to 25-50% (depending on usage )

on mine, i found out that using the large "interactive" twitter widget (the one you can scroll left and right through tweets) absolutely killed my battery and prevented phone from sleeping. the small twitter widget (where it just shows most recent tweet) doesn't have that issue.
I didn't have that issue using the large twitter widget in android 2.x but it definitely prevents my nexus from sleeping. I'll bet other apps/widgets have similar code that prevent phone from sleeping.
the large twitter killed battery on wifi, 3g, or LTE. as soon as i took it off home screen and rebooted, my battery life was solved.
w/ large widget: lost 25% battery in 1 hour
w/small widget: lost 25% battery in 8.5 hours
I've never had any issue with my phone going into deep sleep with any ROM or Kernel. However with any based off 4.0.1 battery drain during deep sleep was pretty bad. Starting with 4.0.2 i'll only lose 4% or so overnight. We'll see about 4.0.3 over the next couple days.
Man, it is a tough situation to accept if you're coming from the Atrix. At the end I was getting between 7 and 9 hours of screen time. Hopefully CM9 will be taking care of a lot of all that. Really though? Doubt it. 4,7" über-amoled screen. It's bound to fry the battery straight through..

Are you talking about when the phone is in standby overnight, or during normal day usage?
My deep sleep time is at 69% in the last 15 hours.

15 hours = from 10:23PM last night to 1:23PM today. I was sleeping from 12:30PM - 7:15PM (phone was charging).
i have a quick question.. dont know if it is off topic... but..
in developer settings it has a option on how many processes to keep... standard limit down to keep only 4... but for some strange reason i always have to reset it to 3 if i turn off my phone... doesnt it not remember these settings?
Mine is only 7% over a 24 hour period. Including charging overnight. Are you on wifi?

hey.
i bought a new one like 3 days ago, rooted and installed android revolution HD custom ROM.
which says makes the battery better and has a custom kernel so im not overclocking my processor or anything.
i even fully charged to 100% and wiped all battery stats with CWM.
on my battery stats page it says my screen is using 50% of my battery and when i press it it says its been on for 2 hours ( out of the 14 hours my phone has been since i charged it )
thats too much battery drainage going on here.
any help ? or suggestions ?
oh i also have my wifi on and my screen brightness set to the lowest possible
This is normal just read over threads....

You never mentioned what your final battery level was after 14 hours and 2 hours of screen? The "50% used" means 50% of the battery used to that point.
FWIW, I'm showing the following at the moment:
78% battery remaining
3h 51m on battery
Screen: 62%, Android OS: 17%
Screen on time: 1h 17m
So, based on this, I'd expect to get maybe 15-20 hours of charge and 4-5 hours of screen use out of a full battery, which is about right.
Daern
Battery life of a brand new device is always going to be a little poor.
Here's what I do: Charge it up all the way when you first get it. Then run it down until you get the low battery warning. Then charge it up. Then use it normally.
After a week or so, your battery life will normalize and should be much better than the first couple days.
alright
i will wait until its on 5% or so and charge it to full again.
my battery is on 48% now after 14hours of use
2 hours screen ( 51% screen usage )
android os 15%
notice that im running with the minimum screen brightness which is not what i want to be on most of the time =/
but i have wifi on AT ALL TIMES, it doesnt drain as much battery as the screen.
anyway i will wait for the battery to normalize like one of the users said and see what happens.
thanks a lot
it's normal for android phones or any phones for that matter.

48% remaining after 14 hours, with 2 hours screen on is pretty good actually, especially if you have had the phone under a week.
You will find the battery get better after half a dozen charges
Remember, its a 4.6inch screen with hd resolution, that's a big hi res screen by any stretch, and will use a bit of power

The ARHD ROM is a good one, and you'll get excellent battery performace, especially if use with the James Bond kernel and undervolting settings. But to lower your screen battery drain, use a dark (or plain black) static wallpaper and auto brightness.
standard nexus , no rom kernel or GPS and Bluetooth, twitter Facebook and Gmail set to push. Playing games and listening to music , brightness 100%.

It's a 4.65" 720p for science's sake... based on your stats, you would get 4 hours of screen on time from a total of 28h on. What did you expect ? 10 hours of screen on time ? Sheesh... Where did you come from ? iCrap ?
Dunno, for me GSam says that the turned off screen takes almost 4 times more than turned on. I know how it sounds, but having screen drain about 20% from all, though it worked for 20 minutes of 2 days. And the common battery life if not too bad - about 20% per day. I cannot find the reason for already three weeks, how this could be?..

When you have drain like me then you can complain . I have yet to figure out why my battery drains so fast, it ranges from 10-15% an hr while its just sitting there.
ie: if it says that the screen is draining it 50%, it means that 50% of the power drain on the battery was caused by the screen, it didn't drain your battery by 50%. The screen is the biggest power hog on most smart phones so your stats seem pretty normal.
Well, the drain is not big indeed Just to ensure, that it could happen at all and find out, what it could be - kind of perfrctionism
Just installed PGM, assuming it will change the statistics. Let us see how much.
OK, after maybe a day with PGM I should say the drain is same - about 1.5% per hour (with radio turned on). Trying to be more tolerant to drain now
How's everyone's battery life? I get down to about 5% by the end of the night with light to moderate use and standby time seems to be pretty terrible (5% drain an hour or so).
I checked in the battery info and it shows Android OS at the top with 66% use and when I click on that, it shows Keep awake at 3 hours and 49 minutes.
Anyone else having this problem? I did a full wipe and that didn't fix anything. I'm also running the latest update.
I can usually last a day with moderate to heavy use. Haven't found it to be any shorter than that so far. Try turning on the processor eco mode
I wake up at about 7:00a.m. and go to sleep at around 12:00a.m. And I usually go to bed with about 30% and this is with moderate use, with full brightness and eco mode off.
My battery life is pretty atrocious as well compared to my Evo LTE.
I'm at 40% at the moment after 7.5 hours. That's mostly wifi and without 4G. Have tried keeping the screen at 40-50% brightness, eco mode on, quad control, on, etc.
Even tried cycling it a few times by letting it run all the way down and charging until 100% with phone off and it's there's been no improvement.

I have been surprised at the battery life of this phone. I was annoyed after I bought it because I didn't realize it didn't have a removable battery and I typically buy extra batteries. I gave it a try though and yesterday I used it moderately while at work for 12 hours, used it for streaming audio on the way home, and after a total of about 14 hours without charging it was only down to 70%. Eco mode was on, and screen set to 67%. Periods were with 3g, 4g, low signal, and wifi.
Dont know why you would have such bad battery life, i used my phone all day yesterday from 530am til i went to bed last night at 1115pm only 30% discharge at that point , i dl a rom on it for my gs3 when i was going to sleep 789mb and woke up this am to 36% bat left. I am truly pleased with the performance so far.
I am not a light user either and use it to play need for speed , I haven't even put it in eco mode yet.

Honestly no complaints so far. I've been toying with it for fifteen minutes after ten minutes of music play and it only now went from a hundred percent to ninety nine. On my 3d it would be down ten to fifteen percent by now.

I haven't had any issues with the battery either. After a decent amount of web browsing, a few calls and a ton of texts, some angry birds star wars and final fantasy 3, I still have 70% left. Also have wifi, gps on constantly, 68% brightness on display and no eco mode.

What percent of the battery usage is "Android OS" for you?
This morning I pulled her off the charger and browsed reddit for an hour with the screen at 63% and lost more than 20%.
I'm exchanging it and if the new one doesn't work any better I'm probably going to sell it and go back to the Evo.

Already tried HR, went ahead and did another one and ended up having to reset it two more times when the Play Store stopped working.
Now I'm running with a handful of apps, one email account and I'm not syncing to anything other than Gmail and I'm still down 17% in the last hour and a half, plus I'm getting force close errors just trying to access battery status.
Should i look into getting another Optimus G.?

At the time this was done it was at about 40ish%.
At the moment I am at 25% after using my phone about 16 hours. Android OS is at 51%, screen at 19% with about 3 hours clocked in.
By this point I expect a minimum of twelve hours on the battery with at least two hours of screen on time. Im very happy with that if I use the screen for more than two hours it'll last about eight hours which is still good. This phone idles very well I expect it improve with future updates as well.

well, if you're not using the phone, with apps or whatever.. then something else has to take the place of the 'most used' application..
I hope this isn't the "omg android system is using all my battery" again that I seen all over the gs2 forums when it came out
attached is a screenshot of my battery usage, I been streaming music all day at work.. mostly wifi, screen on a generous amount of time.. browsing xda, internet.. even played around with autodesk sketchbook..
Just got the phone today, it's been ridiculous. I've recharged my phone from 20% to 95% twice today. Granted, I've been using it non-stop
Now at 65%. Just terrible!
Android System 38%
Screen 20% (time on only 2h 5m)
Android OS 11%
Facebook 8%
Cell standby 5%
I had a lot of sync crap turned on that wasn't on my note 3 (like auto sync photos to google cloud), as well as some other settings that I just turned off like AT&T Address Book, and several google sync services I have no need for. Hoping that fixes it, I'll know tomorrow!
Android System.. that is where it would be syncing photos, right? I'm thinking that must've been it.

A background process is eating your battery. I have gotten over a full days use with 3 hours or more of screen time and still at 35%, that or you got a bad battery. This phones battery life is incredible
Since I just got my phone this morning, I will have to report my batter usage later.
However, the phone charges SUPER FAST!
I'll tell you when it doesn't charge fast, I plugged it into my S3 charger last night at 11% and it still wasn't at 100% when I woke up about 9 hours later. Yesterday I got 3 1/2 hours of screen time after starting at 70% when I actually got the phone around 5 pm. The phone was under HEAVY use (downloading updates on LTE, customizing, etc.) I'll be interested to see how it does today under mostly normal conditions.

A background process is eating your battery. I have gotten over a full days use with 3 hours or more of screen time and still at 35%, that or you got a bad battery. This phones battery life is incredible

Glad to hear you feel that way! Thank you for the glimmer of hope! I have a feeling you are very right, and that it could have also had a lot to do with the huge amount of downloading I was doing yesterday. Today should be a much more normal day of use. I'll check back in a bit.
My battery went from fully charged to 94% in a matter of minutes just using the Internet. I decreased the screen brightness and removed the sync from some apps. If I don't see an improvement before my 14 days is up this is going back.
I also realized power saving mode was not enabled. After enabling that and disabling all unnecessary sync services, I'm stoked.
Usage seems to be great now, too.
81% battery left so far today
1h30min screen on time
3h23min total
Screen 33%
Android Sys 21%
Android OS 13%
Stellar!

You shouldn't have to use power save to get good battery performance. You definitely have a bad battery
Really? It seems pretty good to me now.
Is there a wake lock detector you would be able to recommend? Looks like it needs root?
I let my battery completely drain where it cut off at 1% and let the battery charge fully. Powered it back up and made sure nothing was syncing that I didn't need and now the battery seems to be performing better then before.
My battery usage today
Was on web and Facebook most of the time, downloaded some new apps, and uploaded a video to vimeo
Battery is quite short of impressive, and my N3 charges much much faster.

Either you have fast charging turned off or something is wrong with your charger/battery. turned off my phone charged 0-100% in 79 mins.
Yeah, his phone is broken or misconfigured if it charges slower than a Note 3. I've owned both, and the note 4 charges WAY faster.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
I agree it is very noticeably faster. N3 was decent already with the provided charger, but N4 charge blazes.
Kinda want to get that Qualcomm fast charge 2.0 car charger so I can charge from 12v sources. The standard usb 5v 500mA regulated charge is pitiful
I have to constantly kill Index Service. It's loading CPU up to 100%. There's a bug since at least Note II. If you have large PDF files or many files of any kind, it will never finish indexing. Some reports link it to 64GB cards, but mine does it even without the card.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 3T's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think MM is good in general, but so far so good. I only lose 1 to 3% overnight.
I have plenty of battery drain overnight, mostly the Android system, Android OS and Google services.
I've had the phone for 2 days now and overnight battery drain is around 5%, but the real problem is that Android System takes up around 30% of my battery.
in 8h night (standby) i get 1-2% drain.
wifi, sync enabled.
if you get major drain, then its something on your setup causing it.
its always like that. (except something is broken on hardware side)
OxygenOS 3.5.1. - 1-2% battery drain;
OxygenOS 3.5.3. - 0% battery drain (in one scenario phone was left to [email protected]% (took off the charger and it drained 0% in 4 hour sleep period and in the other scenario the phone was left @53% to sleep and it drained 0% in 8 hour sleep period)
more info can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/battery-life-sd821-400mah-t3505786
My experience is that the phone is better than average for sleep drain, just ~1-2 % with stock kernel. With Tyranus kernel v12 by @mdalexca, I'm not seeing any drain overnight at all. Battery life on medium usage looks to be a few days at least. (Yeah, I'm a light user aside from my first week with a new phone where I nearly wear it out ;)
Using Nova Launcher ...experiencing battery drain 3~4% overnight (5-7 hours) with WiFi off. But during the day, WiFi on, not even touching phone and it goes down 10% in an hour and a half. Battery reports Android System as the culprit. Any suggestions guys?

Turn off Android System.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I got pretty good standby last night. Some nights don't give me near as good standby, so it's quite inconsistent.

Hows your deep sleep, working ok? Even if it shows Android system, it could be some app which isnt working correctly.
I got someone here with one plus 3 non t version (I got t, same problem like you) and is just flashed Chinese version of one plus 3 on his phone and zero drain but bare in mind the Chinese version doesn't got Google services at all , no play store and stuff , is saying is got more juice now , but I am just thinking you will need to install Google services for YouTube and stuff . Hmmm just saying Google battery hog .
For now I am waiting for developers to receive their phone . I just can't wait for many custom ROMs
using stock Oxygen with BT/Wifi on, 2 push accounts with 4-5% drain overnight

How do I check the deep sleep? I just went back to the shop and idk what they did but they said they ran a software check(?) And asked me to try the phone again for a day. Surprisingly overnight with wifi off only went down 1℅ (but this was on oneplus launcher) but then during the day it drained as fast as previous. But now the batt reports show first Android OS, Cell standby and then Android system....

I'm not sure is it possible to check it without the root, but if you are rooted, then BetterBatteryStats is quite handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en

Yeah that apps requires root...thanks anyway
I have the MBA bug. I see a lot of people avoid it by staying on WiFi but I can't. Result is rapid battery drain.
I'm still getting reasonable battery though if I remember to toggle airplane mode. Device sleeps well enough. Almost perfect awake to screen on ratio.

Looks like OnePlus isn't bothered to fix this bug.

why don't you disable wifi/bt scanning and disable facebook/messenger notificationn?
oneplus is actually well optimized and drain is about 4% overnight

Wifi scanning and bluetooth is already disabled, and facebook isn't installed. This same issue exists in Oneplus 3 and Oneplus is not bothered to fix it.
