Get better battery stats free on xda. Just Google it. It will show you what's really keeping your phone awake. Here is a photo of my partial wakelock caused by picasa syncing with my gallery. Picasa is Samsung bloat I guess but I froze it with titanium and now I'm getting great battery life.

It ended up lowering down after I came out of the shower. Thanks for your help though.

Battery

Android system using 64% of my battery and I been having my screen on all morning. is there an app that will track battery usage on each app. I have about 80 apps installed and I know one of them is f-ing Me up.

Better battery stats is a good app.

That's a lot. I bet a few are eating up the battery.
Watchdog will watch your active apps and alert you when any particular app breaks through a preset % CPU threshhold... I use it and it works great...
ill try both of those apps . Here are some screenshots if you guys can think of anything else. Thanks

Android OS stays awake and kills my battery

So I have unbricked my phone and have flashed cm9 and fullthrottle now I'm on the official ics from att. My phone has been dying quickly. I checked my battery stats and seen android OS in my number 2 spot. Today I unplugged my phone and didn't use it for two hrs and it went down 5% I checked and android os stayed away 1 hr and 53 mins.

Same thing on my end. LG really screwed this up.

You need to install the better battery stats app and see which app is giving you wake locks.

Yep, install better battery stat, it's even free for XDA member, search the app forum.

Also, there's a thread called "known identified battery drainers" in the ATT GS2/I777 forums that has some good, universal stuff on interpreting wakelocks.

any luck solving this?
I tried flashing this from 3 times wiping everything and still get the android os taking most of my battery. I tried better battery stats but can really interpret it. I don't have facebook link or instagram. I'll post pics of better battery stats.

Did you flash through CWM or using LG's official tool from a computer?
O flashed through CWM

I'd suggest disabling stock apps you don't need, I guess. Most people seem to think the battery life on that ROM is decent.
I always disable the att apps that come with the stock from. I get about 10 hrs on medium use with the extended battery. If this was fixed then I would get way more

same issue
I never even thought to check into that as I have also had bad battery life, but figured it was just the nitro. New to rooting LG's as I had samsungs before. I am having the same exact issue running OH!NO! Full Throttle 7.1 and never realized it.. Is it just settings that are not allowing it to sleep?
I have no clue but there is something that is keeping the phone awake and not letting gp to sleep which is really hurting the battery life

i definitely recommend getting juice defender. it made a HUGE difference in my battery life.
I tried it but it didn't help much just turned off the data. The only thing that really helped was to go into app settings and disable android and it has helped some

I have the same issue. Android OS is (or was) the best battery killer. AT&T support person told me to do factory reset AND DO NOT INSTALL any app that are not preinstalled. I have to install them later one by one to find one incompatible with ICS.
After reset operation (happened 2 hours before) I have now Screen as the best battery killer Battery went from 77% down to 62% with some browsing and preinstalled apps update. It looks promising...

Is this google maps causing all this battery drain?

My phone went from 91% to 31% over the night while I slept. I looked into better battery stats to see what the cause was and this is what I saw.
What can I do to remedy this issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
You could try toggling your location services on and off in addition to clearing the data and cache in that specific app (settings > apps > all, etc) and rebooting. Something is triggering that. Are you stick/rooted?
I'm on the CM 10.1 nightly from Feb 13. Using Kt747 kernel.
Do I clear the cache from the maps application?

Yes, I would clear the maps cache. Something is using location/GPS but it's hard to tell you which app is turning on those tools, so it could be maps. Or turn off all location based services so no apps have access to those tools. Another option is uninstalling app by app to see which one is the culprit or continue monitoring the battery till something more definitive pops up.
I'll try that out. It also looks like the ebay app has been wake lock too. I haven't even been in that app in a long time and for some reason it's waked 500 times

Just freeze maps using titanium.

You don't have to freeze it:

AudioOut wakelock question

Hi I have note 2 which is fantastic and I am very pleased with it. So far I was getting perfect battery life but lately it doesn't last that long so I installed BBS and this audioOut wakelock is preventing my phone from sleeping. Is there a chance to find which program is keeping this wakelock? I searched the web and there is Nino help. It is almost always on silent and I am not using it to listen to the music. Thanks

I've seen all kinds of "fixes" here - e.g. switch ringtones and reboot, turn off all system sounds, use Task Manager to turn off everything and many more.
Not one has worked for me on any ROM with any kernel, which makes me suspect that it's a rogue app. It never takes me a long time to realise that I cannot be bothered trying to track down the responsible app, so I live with it. YMMV. Viber has been mentioned frequently (never had it myself).
Sounds very similar to the Media drain problem. Similar alleged reasons, similar useless solutions, even poor Viber is also wrongfully scapegoated. What kills me is once the problem start it remains no matter what the heck you do, even if you wipe, root, change roms, format, remove/change sd card, etc... Nothing short of a hammer will solve the ****ing problem.
Download advanced task killer and set it to kill all apps at screen off. Also configure greenify to greenify all apps.

delete viber and reboot and you'll be good
Yes I have Viber but I can't see it is running in background... Sometimes I am not accessing gallery or any media files for days and that wakelock is on.. and it goes as our comes.. And I just started to brag about its fantastic battery life...

Ffs I am saying since so long. You just need to configure advanced task killer and greenify. But no. We want some other kinda solution.

Hibernate the app or uninstall i guess. And use a third party better optimized app. Everything from Facebook for Facebook is useless
