Battery life, android OS at 40% normal?

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but it seems like the only section specific to the Captivate Glide.
My wife's Glide is stock, very few widgets (google voice, battery, stock clock) and Android OS shows up at 40% when the phone is idle overnight and during the day during use. She has fb set up on socialhub with only contacts synced, 2 gmail accounts, and Touch(used to be pingchat). wifi is enabled and connected for most of the day. bluetooth is on too, but only connected when in the car.
I don't think it's Touch since I have it on my Atrix and Android OS is at 2-3% for me.
Any ideas?

do you have apps that can access your location? (weather apps, maps etc.) If yes, you may wanna go settings > location and security > and then uncheck "Use wireless network" in case you have not done it yet.

I don't think that's it. I have location enabled on my phone and have a weather widget. The wifes phone does not have a weather widget.

She might have some app that is are using way too much cpu, try doing a factory reset and check the usage, mine is currently %17.
Also the facebook app is a notorious battery thief. Battery usage percentage isn't standard for different people, if she's not using much features, the majority of her battery will be used by the OS since there is nothing else to use it.

Wouldn't phone idle be the max usage? For my Atrix phone idle is at 70% or so when I barely use the phone and Android OS is 3%. I can try disabling facebook overnight to see if the Android OS usage goes down.
The battery life for this phone is ok. It hits ~30% or so in the early evening, meaning we need to charge the phone if she goes out that evening. For my Atrix the battery doesn't hit 30% until midnight under light usage conditions (no games).
Is there an app or logcat keyword to filter to break down exactly which thread/process is using up the CPU?
edit: nm, going to read through this first

From looking at the wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats the likely culprit for the battery usage is the facebook chat portion of the fb app. The wife has many contacts in the chat, so it's probably polling quite a bit. For me the wakelock count for fb chat is fairly low. fb chat is a must for the wife so I can't disable it.
Also in the process screen I see several kworkers with high usage...not sure exactly what's causing that.

so for whatever reason the battery drain is now more acceptable even though the Android OS usage is still at ~50%. Could be the fb update, but the good battery performance occurred before the fb update.

my infuse 4g has a battery drain because of fb.....it's always the next thing that is draining the battery (i hope to get screenies). I just force close fb (or set refresh interval to "never") when I am done using it....
I can't say that this is same as yours but it may be a thing to look up.

From the betterbatterystats output, I'm pretty sure the high Android OS usage is software related and specific to the stock ROM. The radio and wifi battery usage are normal.
I have no clue what the kworker processes are doing when the phone is supposed to be idle. Overnight my Atrix is 68% idle, 12% cell standby...android OS is 2%.

Idk you could try when putting it idle turn of Bluetooth and wifi and the data network this could help see

BT is already off. I could turn off both wifi and data network and if it turns out that is what is causing the battery drain (does not seem like it)...then what? Don't use wifi and the data network? It seems like there's little we can do as an average user to fix the high Android OS usage when idle. It does not seem like high kworker process usage can be fixed by TiBu or other simple fixes from a user.
Another update from Samsung, custom ROMs, and other dev fixes on xda seem to be the only options.

You need to find the source to find a rom that will repair this sometimes an launcher can make your battery die faster I know that Facebook and the browser use a ton of ram I have a stock app on my phone called application manager and I can stop apps that are using my ram

Maps has absurdly high number of wake ups, help?

I'm relatively new to android but have a computer background. I'm rooted and have flashed about a dozen or so different ROMS but ended up back to stock for a few of the TW features. I've been keeping an eye on my battery lately and noticing a extremely high number of wake ups from my maps application. Last night specifically I went to bed at 11:30ish with 39% batt life remaining. I woke up and 7am and I have 19% remaining. Phone wasn't in use at all. I had 3 emails and a google+ message come through over night. Looking at GSam Battery monitor maps has very high usage for something i'm really not using at all. it used 15% of my battery coming in below the kernal at 15.4% and the android system at 28.5%. The phone was held awake for a total of 1h 11m in the last 14h by maps alone and had 1743 wake ups.
I have since gone in and turned off location services. I was not using latitude or anything. Not using GPS although I do leave it on. I have google now installed and really liked the fact it would give me driving info when it was my usual time to head to or from work. The alerts for traffic for calendar appointments was also awesome so i'd preferably like to keep those working if possible.
If anyone has any info that could help it would be greatly appreciated!
Here are some screenies to help just in case.

You could try freezing maps with titanium backup. Not sure what effects it will have on anything else though. Just a suggestion.

Well I use maps all the time. I just didn't happen to be using it in the last charge cycle. So far this morning I went into the maps settings and toggled locatoins settings- report from this device to off. I'm currently charging (off my laptop so it's slow) and once I'm at 100% I can run another cycle and see if it's made any difference. So far it looks like the number has stayed the same.

Yeah i've seen some posts but Latitude was off and most of the other instructions for disabling more services were for different devices so the setting paths were different. Maybe this will actually work. I've noticed a bunch of wakes preventing periods of deep sleep as well. crossing my fingers I solved it myself.

small update, looks like turning off the location history does stop google now from working with the traffic updates. While I really like this service, i'm not sure it's worth the battery life it's taking to fuel it. Could be related to using a port of google now with ICS and not official jelly bean, at least that is what i'm hoping.

Well it looks like I got maps fixed but now the system is crushing my battery. I'll let the screenshots do the speaking. Really looking for someone with some expertise to help me out. I'm lost other than switching to a CM10 ROM.

Try turning off your LATITUDE LOCATION SHARING. That seems to work for a lot of people that reported the same issue. Its under System Setttings > Accounts > Google > Maps & Latitude

Not only have I rebooted, I did a Titanium backup of my apps, factory reset, and only restored my apps. no system settings.
The only thing I can think of is that I installed a few packages to enhance the stock rom. I'm going to flash over a completely fresh version and go from there.

Oh wow, well good luck! I would recommend looking at CM10 tho. Been using it for a month or two now and haven't looked back.

Hmm.. same here. Battery Life was better on ICS, that I agree. But JB is really awesome! Anyway, about your problem, I suggest making sure you kill your apps more frequently (Going into MultiTasking and just sliding them all away). This seemed to help me.

I have been trying to figure this out for days. I've read countless threads with no luck. I've got no mhaic , videos or pictures on my phone and its still using a lot of battery. Willing to offer bounty for a proper fix

Just the worst advice ever. You don't need to manage your tasks. If you've got an app misbehaving that's causing drain, you need to uninstall it and use something that's coded properly.

Well that's true. Sorry if I said it wrong. But yes, some apps are coded horribly like Facebook and cause terrible battery drain. So, just uninstall it.

Search the forums and download better battery stats - you can also purchase the paid version from the play store - Run that for a day or so and it will tell you what is eating your battery.
Also, some more information (screen captions, your 'average' use, ROM, Kernel, etc) could help this thread a bit as well.
If you have a rogue app that is causing drain, better battery stats will help you find it.

After I got a program which tests mp3 files and removed all which had errors the media scanning stopped going on forever and killing the battery. I don't know which program off hand but I bet there are several free pc apps to test mp3's online.

This does not kill apps. It merely removes them from the Recent Apps list. If you want to kill apps, you have to go to the Apps manager in settings and force stop. Or use apps that offer such functionality like Android System Info.
---
I also have this issue, but force stopping the medisscanner (or related apps) resolves it temporarily. I'll try the mp3 validation suggestion

Solving of Battery drain Issue
Please check on your device on app which using most of the battery. I used GSam Battery Monitor so that it will shown me the most usage of apps consuming the battery. Just tap on it, tap "manage" then tap on "Force stop".
This accually required on every charge, restart or playing / downloading a media files. Some people suggest clear data on media storage, however, it clear all your custom ringtone and others too. By doing Force stop, nothing will be affected....
Enjoy!!

JB Stand-by Battery Drain Issue

Hi everyone,
Like many others I had a terrible battery drain in std-by after upgrading to JB. I've already posted some troubleshooting I performed somewhere else, but since I wanted to update this from time to time and to keep everything a bit together, I'm making this topic, don't shoot me :fingers-crossed: It's my log/reference how I'm fixing my battery issue, and some help for other ppl trying to fix their issue to.
Feel free to add your thoughts.
So, some facts of my case:
- Phone is locked, all stock, with JB.
- Std-by drainage after OTA upgrade to JB with everything working on ICS, was +- 20% over night (7h), no data/wifi/BT/sync or anything else.
- Something is waking up my device every half hour to drain battery.
- Disabeling Google Now, NFC, Location stuff, Sync, etc... did not solve the massive drain in my case (it will help ofc, but is not the root-cause).
- Factory reset followed by the installation of all my apps and settings at once did not solve my issue.
- Factory reset with ONLY activating my google account during initial setup (and pulled in my contacts). Nothing else installed or activated/synced for testing purposes. => Solved the std-by drainage on my phone.
- At this point I can tell for sure that in my case, a rogue app (that worked fine on ICS but not on JB) is causing this problem, not JB or my hardware.
**************************************************************
What I did then:
I tried a few battery apps mentioned in other posts to find out where the problem was, but I was not able to find anything usefull.
Tested in the other direction... Did a complete factory reset again, with none of my additional apps installed (only my contacts), no google now, location or syncs.
The result was 14h with only 4% gone! Good result imo.
So I planned installing a few apps at a time/day to see when it starts to drain again, so I can isolate the problematic app.
Yesterday I installed 6 of my most used apps + a few sync profiles last evening, still a very nice std-by drain this night (was still on 100% this morning lol).
For all those with std-by battery issues, if you don't mind a full factory reset and don't need all your 150 apps at once, try it like I did (clean with no apps, sync or data) to see if std-by drain is back to normal (for testing purposes). Then install 5 to 10 apps per day to see if everything remains ok. My device works as it should be now.
I know a lot of ppl prefere not to wipe their phone and want to find the problem via battery monitoring apps, no problem with that, this is just the way I did it, it takes some time but ok, at least the drain is gone now :victory:
I'll update my findings regulary untill I bump to the winning app
Greets
******************************************************************
These are the apps/features i've installed so far and NOT causing the std-by battery drainage (20% or more in 7h):
In std-by at night, the wifi/data/BT and sync are off at my phone ofc.
8h std-by at night, still at 100% in the morning
aCalendar

9h std-by at night 1% drop
Green power
Google Location Service (System Setting)
Dropbox + auto photo upload
SwiftKey 3 full + personalize
Swiftkey flow beta
HLN
XDA Developers Premium
***
12h std-by at night (including 3h with wifi/data and sync) = 3% down
11 new apps installed yesterday.

More apps installed, drain is still ok.

Can you let us know the first 6 apps.

After disabeling the location report setting in Google maps the battery drain was gone on my hox. Go to Google maps/settings/location and then remove the check mark at something called like report location (I have a german phone so I dont know the exact expression). Once you have done that the battery consumption is less then on ics. At least in my case.
Hope this helps!

Yes, when my phone is in std-by at night, wifi,data and sync is off.

Another batch of 11 apps installed yesterday.
10pm to 10am = 3% std-by drain.
From those 12 hours there are also 3 hours included which my wifi/data and sync was on with mails coming in.
So std-by battery drain is still very good here! :highfive: Hope the rogue app is in one of my 50 games, no so difficult to eliminate one of those

[Q] Relatively unfair battery drain issue (Running stock JB 4.1.2 XXDLL4)

Or so I've come to believe it's unfair anyway, I just don't get how some people achieve 19+ hours or so on battery life, with 'heavy' usage as well like they claim.
I have posted some battery usage screenshots if it might be of any help.
When I was using the phone out of the box with an earlier stock firmware, it was the same as of now, even after my current XXDLL4 update. I always kill background apps, from ram and from running tasks, turn GPS off and other unused features, e.g. NFC, S beam, you name it. Like for example with these screenshots, I was using the phone moderately all day, a bit of browsing, some phone calls and a few games. Is 3 hours of screen time supposed to be normal with this battery reading? I don't get it Is there anything I can do to get these long hour performances on battery that everyone else seems to be getting with their note 2?

Im on stock unrooted 4.1.2 rom. Battery life was decent until I went to settings, application manger and then to all and disabled apps that I don't use including some widgets. Eg Simple alarm, learning hub, remote controls, Samsung sync etc and battery is significantly better.
With Whatsapp and Facebook running on the back ground all the time. .. I still manage to get 6hrs screen time.
However you must understand battery life is very much subjective to your signal strength, usage and the apps running in the background. Generally 4 to 5hrs on screen time with heavy usage such as 3d gaming etc is considered pretty good.
As long your phone can get through the day with a single charge, I would say that's good enough and enjoy every features of the phone without worrying about battery life
Hope I helped.

Thanks for your thoughts, another issue that I notice I'm having is this mediaserver battery drain, I've tried performing a few fixed including removing album art, trying .nomedia, even removing all music altogether, but nothing seems to work. I'm starting to believe all these people with 10+ hours of screen on time have been photoshopping the screenshots! LOL! Seriously, the battery life is starting to resemble an old iPhone 4 that I used to own.

Can you be more specific? Which rom do you know out there that isn't custom? I prefer stock only. If Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Are u able to identify what are the apps constantly running in your background?
I highly suggest u to do these few things for now.
1) update your rom to the latest 4.1.2 rom provided in your country. Go to settings, about device and go to software update or download Samsung kies, connect your phone to samsung kies if you have the latest stock rom.
2) Turn off sync.
3) Run through all your apps settings and phone settings. Turn off unneeded notifications
4) Go to application manager, scroll to all and disable whatever stuff you dont use. If it breaks something, just re enable it.
5) After all of above, go to application manager again, scroll to running applications and see what is running in your phone background.
6) if you have problems with media scan, go to application manager. Scroll to all and clear cache of the following apps. Download provider, downloads, media storage, gallery and drm protected storage and reboot the phone.
Another small tip is I diabled google search, Dropbox, disabled online search under contact settings, disable sync with wifi in gallery settings, disabled talkback, turn off all notifications in google plus settings. Turned off Facebook notofications and auto update.
Let us know if it works for u

I think your stats are okay. Because you're using H+. If you switch to 2G you'll see massive gain in backup.
Besides, 4.1.2 literally killed 15-20% backup from 4.1.1, don't know what was ****ing point, but Samsung did it! Just keep monitoring via Better Battery Stats, which apps/process are causing wakelocks, and then do the needful.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100

It seems like there is too much wakelocks, judging by your stats. You are not rooted, right? If so, it's impossible to diagnose the wakelocks without simply guessing and eliminating which app is causing them.
The maps wakelock caused by Google now, along with AudioOut_2 and media scanner are among the most dire. The first can be "fixed" by disabling location services.

There are currently no new February firmwares for my country/carrier. The latest one was in December, which I'm using right now.

Just for your information. Your battery performance really below par which note 2 it should be.
2hours plus on screen time and 10 hours operating time left 5% was totally unacceptable.
With super heavy use, note2 at least must be able to last 10hours++ with 3.5 hours on screen with 20% left.
( with 3g, wifi and gps always on. Continuos download 2 movies using qvod for about 2 hours)
