Huge spontaneous battery drain?

I am running Cyanogemod 7 with no background apps other than a weather app. I had a huge battery drain for no reason at all. View the attached image to see what I mean. Is there any reason this happened?

I'm no expert, but it appears that the phone signal is what's using most of the battery. Are you in a low coverage area? Sometimes, It can use a lot of battery when constantly searching for networks. Perhaps you could try temporarily disabling the weather app, maybe it's the one trying to get a network connection to update or something

I was in the middle of a city when this occurred. I don't think the radio would cause a battery at 60% to suddenly die. I am going to update my rom and see if I get the battery drain again.

Sounds to me more like a glitch in battery stats. Try charging to full and optionally wiping battery stats.

Android OS, stay awake battery drain issue

I've been having a problem with my phone staying awake for 6 or 7 hours at a time and draining my battery. And it seems like I'm the only one having this problem. I just want to know if anyone has been experiencing the same thing.

Do a search on the play store for wakelock apps. This should show you what is keeping your phone from deep sleep. More than likely it's something like social media that wants to be on ALL the time.

It appears to be because of kik and the sip integration. Try uninstalling kik to see if that makes a difference.

i emailed to kik's support, i can't really uninstall it as i use it on daily basis and sip integration is part of android os, so that can't be uninstalled either (but can be disabled) i'm kind of surprised it was trying to connect to sip as I thought this only works when phone is on wifi and not on mobile network...

Finally Found Battery Drain Fix
Note 2 (i317 unlocked using T-Mobile)
IOAP ROM v3.59
Latest AGNI Kernel (2.7?)
Philz Touch CWM
I switch ROMs between the IOAP and Ditto Note 3 (also w/AGNI) as my dailies. I get great battery life w/Ditto Note 3 ROM. However, on IOAP I was getting about 6-7 hours and draining fast overnight. I checked everything and GSam showed "Android OS" as the main culprit. I changed a setting to Location>Mode>Device Only. It was on "High Accuracy". Once I changed this, battery life was back to the same levels as DN3 ROM.

Can't get rid of wakelocks

Battery life was great but all of a sudden now I'm getting horrible battery life, now lasting only 4-5 hours. Based on BetteryBatteryStats, it seems i have a wakelock issue and phone never enters Deep Sleep. I've searched the internet for solutions and have tried several things
- uninstall Google Chrome
- disable autoscroll
- hard reset
- reformat SD card
- get rid of SD card
Im still having poor battery life and even when I turn off WiFi, mobile data, gps etc, phone still never enters Deep Sleep.
Here are some screen shots. Please help!!!

See below

Look at your data usage, good chance that's the originator of the wake lock. I had picasa do that on aosp and tw. It doesn't usually directly show up. But the data usage is how I found it. On tw smdexe can also cause a wake lock with no direct flag

Thanks for replying guys. So wakelocks arent the problem, its the data connection? How can I decrease the AWAKE TIME and get the phone to be able to re-enter deep sleep? How do I fix this data connection issue?
I've tried so many things and this has been incredibly frustrating - thanks for your help in advance and Happy New Year!

If your phone has low or no signal a lot, it'll eat through you're battery.
In your first screen shot... all that red under mobile network signal means NO signal. That's a lot of red.

More shots. All of that Awake Time amd battery discharge occurred overnight while I was asleep and not using the phone. In contrast, my wife's GS3 went from 100% to 98% over the same time period with a lot of Deep Sleep

GPS is on. This would be normal. Your phone constantly polls your location unless you turn it off. Having GPS on only worsens that effect but you get better location pings.

Battery life improved after keeping GPS off. I appreciate the tip. However, the phone still won't enter Deep Sleep. I am using DS Battery Saver which is supposed to force the OS into Deep Sleep while the screen is off but it's not doing it. See screenshots. Anyone know how I can get the phone to Deep Sleep?

I've searched high and low for a rouge app - any tips on how to find it? Also, how would it persist after a hard reset?

I think it's your signal bud. I didn't see anything out of the norm for wakelocks with exception of suspend backoff but that could be anything. I see that your phone has no signal for 99% of your wake time. Since you're saying both your wife's phone and yours are the same I would charge both up, put yours in airplane mode but keep the wifi on and test em. That's the only thing off that I noticed. A few guys have been working hard for battery life on another thread here. I'll link it to ya if you want. That's what I would do anyway, just to rule it out. Your mmc detects are high too and I haven't been able to verify this but I think that has to do with accessing the external SD card.

Thanks for the info - I'll try airplane mode and adequate what happens - I'd greatly appreciate the link. I formatted the SD card and eventually got rid of it after realizing I didn't really need it

Battery does not list app usage

Battery doesn't show what apps are running
All my battery displays is Screen,Device Idle, and Wifi
It shows no other third party app that is running. This can only be temporarily fixed by rebooting my Note 2. Which then it happens again after full charging the device.
Is there a fix to this? I barely got it and it is bugging the crap out of me

Same here thought it was so weird

is this something worthy of replacing? still haven't fixed yet.

This happen to mine too.. when i turn off auto sync in Settings>Data Usage>Left menu then turn off Auto sync data.. But good in battery saving..

My Note 2 just started doing this as well. Settings> Battery and all it shows is the overall usage graph and Android OS 100%. If I click on Android OS it shows 298 days of usage. I tried deleting the batterystats.bin file/full charge/reboot etc but that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Fixed it.
Ran it down until it turned off/died.
Plugged in stock charger.
Once fully charged..green LED...powered on.
Booted into CWM from restart menu.
Wiped both caches.
Wiped battery stats.
Reboot.
Unplug from charger while at 100%.
Thought I followed these steps before but apparently I didn't.
Back to normal.

In maps, you can go into settings/locations, and uncheck all that stuff that lets google monitor your location while you're phone sleeps, this resolved my maps wake lock issue, not sure about the SMS one.

Tap the little orange icon to the right. It will take you to the browser and explain what power manager is. It's likely due to push notifications. You can check what's doing this under partial wakelocks.

Do you have active monitoring enabled in better battery stats? When I had that turned on, that was giving me the most wakelocks due to power manager service.

How ironic would it be if Better Battery Stats was the cause of worse battery life lol... but anyways I did what Luigi suggested and got this:

BBS doesn't consume much battery at all compared to others, unless of course if you have the app actively monitoring but the option should be Unchecked by default.
Also, as the page to the link states, in order to resolve any of the wakelocks causing the PowerManagerService issue you must "Use "Partial Wakelocks" to drill down the applications / services causing wakelocks".
