Hello, I've got this problem a few days ago, where my phone randomly discharges up to 50 % just an hour without me using it, no apps running, ram cleared and only WiFi on. It seems to happen at 5-9pm and at that time, I'm at home and I only have WiFi and power saving mode enabled. I have turned mobile data off every time that I was able to connect to a WiFi network. I have only had mobile networks on for like 1 hour or so today.
Thanks, Andreas.
I recommend downloading better battery stats to find out what's draining your battery.

Hi,
The battery of my HOX isn't that great, so I was thinking of using a battery saver.
But which app do you recommend the most?
I think that a lot of people want to know it, because i've read a lot of topics of people that have problems with their battery.
Thanks

The only app that can save you battery is the one that isn't installed.
I agree

Well, i have to say i didn't think that way.
You're totally right every app should save your battery
Or didn't you mean that
Just switch off wifi/mobile data/auto sync when you don't need them, that's pretty much all those battery saver apps do anyway.

No, I'm saying that there aren't any battery saver apps that save you battery.
As mentioned above, you can have an app that does things like turn off data and WiFi and Bluetooth but you can do that manually and they only work if your phone usages patterns can be described by a few simple rules.
The phone app is eating more battery than my screen. At night, it eats away 25% of my battery. Anyone else have this problem? Stock, no root.

Same problem here! I don't know why the phone app is draining my battery in stand-by mode.
I find using the phone drains the battery. I try my best not to pick it up, but I have no control. Can anyone help please?
Used to, but not anymore

Yeh thats usually what happens when you use the phone, it will use the battery... I have some good news thou, you can actually charge it back up with the included charger and use it again :good:
All kidding aside, ill try the sync and Google now tip. Will report back.

Hi guys, sorry for another battery thread but I'm sure I am not alone with this.
I had disabled location services in config (totally disabled) and I was getting good battery life I think (always more than 3 h screen time ) but I noticed that some tasker profiles based on location weren't working (obvious). So today I enabled Location but only by WiFi and network (didn't check gps) and after a while I checked battery status and got this. If that is true that drain is really big ! More than battery? It doesn't make sense to me.
What do you think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It's a relative statistic. It didn't use 37% of battery it used 37% of the battery used.
Thanks. But don't you think its high anyway?

You used 50% of your battery in almost 8 hours and you think that's high? Check your screen on statistic. Most people only get 3-4 hours of screen on for the entire life of their battery.
Perhaps unchecked currents under your Google account, that was causing battery drain for a lot of. Nexus 7 peoples

Thanks... But I checked and currents is not even associated to my Google account... But it's active... Good guess... Should I disable it?

Regardless of whether your screen was on 4 minutes or 4 hours, it should not be that high.. I don't know how to fix it though, because this happens to me on multiple roms.. My only solution is turning Google now off, but it sucks cause I used to use it a lot

That usage is good, but what would happened if I had disable "Location Services"? I would had 37% more battery! Much better!
Screen time when I took the screenshot was about 1:20h.

Yes, looks like the same happens here. And it's very strange that other people don't seem to have that problem, I really not understand.
Today I'm still testing and it's the same, Google Services uses more battery than screen, anyone who knows about electricity knows that if you are using the phone it's almost impossible.
And what is more crazy is that I'm not using GPS, it's always turned off. Locatization is only done by network and wifi.
It's obvious a bug and I hope that they fix it. I prefer not using Google Now than wasting almost 1 hour of screen time.

No you wouldn't have. At most you could potentially have 18% more battery. And that's only if the battery usage statistic is 100% accurate which is never is.
I have an HTC EVO 4g LTE and I have the same problem. I can't find a solution for it and it does it even if I turn off all location, google now, google sync. I think it has something to do with google play, but I don't know for sure.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's not very common and I don't think it is caused by any one thing. It only started after the JB update btw.

I've discovered that Google services turns on even if you are in airplane mode and you have the wifi on but not connected to a network. I did a factory reset yesterday and nothing. I might have to unroot and take it in if I can't find an answer.

I kept enabled Google Now and Location service and these were the results... My battery life is good even with this drain... Stock 4.2.1 and Franco Kernel...
If I had disabled Location and Google Now I would have had (what location services drained) 30% more! More than 3:30 h of screen time.
So sorry Google ... With this drain I won't keep them enabled...
Its a shame because I used network location to turn on and off WiFi automatically when I was entering and leaving home. Will have to do it manually..

That makes sense but you can always go back. New ROMs are like
new phones. Sourcery with ak is stable and gets good batt life.
The day is about to finish and here are the final results... As predicted disabling Google now and location gave me 0:30 of screen time and more than 1 h idle.
Sad

I solved it
I had this issue with my S4. I found it was the new update of Google play service that caused this issue. The battery usage of google services came back to normal after I delete the update. However, the new hangouts requires the latest google play service.

What is Power Manager Service and deleted wake locks that is keeping my phone awake. Running KT747 Linux 3.4 Jellybean 4.2 4/19 build.
It also says Google Maps kept my phone awake for over an hour and messaging kept my phone awake for 3+ hrs too..
I only got 23hrs on a charge on my extended battery. What's going on!!??

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".

Plug phone and let it charge to 100%, unplug it. Once it hits to a low percent open app and check around. Check kernel wakeups, CPU States. You will see if an app doesn't that your phone go to deep sleep.
