Gmail battery drain - HTC One X

Hi all
Just wanted to check if any one is facing battery drain with the new gmail v4.3.1. Gsam battery monitor says that 25‰ of total battery was eaten up by gmail. Any ideas how to solve this issue? I do have 3gmail accounts but this drain started happening after the update....
what do you guys think?

25% of the total battery power...this is how I calculated it...
Gsam reported 80% of the total battery was used by apps running. Of this, 31% is accounted by Gmail..so 31% of 85% = 24.8%...
Has anyone else faced this issue??

Wait 2 or 3 battery cycles, it might cool down after recaching.

Was having the same issue. However, it faded away after a few days of usage!

ok cool...will give it a few days and see..

Have you got auto sync on? Try turn it off and sync manually to see if it reduces the drainage drastically. Anyway even with sync on 25% is way too much.

I have two gmail accounts which are on auto sync all the time. Use them both for work that means I use them a lot never seen that gmail would cross 2% of battery usage.

So what do you really think is the problem? Do you have the latest gmail - 4.3.1? ICS never had this issue..really baffling!!

What apps were running?
Have you tried installing current widget to see what is exactly happening, or how much voltage is going through your phone, even though it's sleeping? (ie, screen off)
I have not tried yet

This happened to me a few times (with almost no apps running) on RC7. Updating to 2.01 seems to have fixed that for me.
If that doesn't help, try using a different kernel and/or a different radio version and see if that works for you (we're reduced to experimentation as nobody has ben able to determine what exactly causes this issue).
I'm well impressed with mine. I went to bed with it fully charged, used it a bit in bed, always play a game and check the forums. Not plugged in at all and woke up this morning and its still fully charged!!
Amazing, since I have yahoo messenger running always. Been using it a lot since I woke up and now on 96% but I know its mainly the screen that uses a lot.
Brilliant ROM tbh
See if this helps:

well it's not really going to save your battery life, it just lets you see when/how the battery is being used up
Yes we can atleast know what apps are eating our battery.

Wakelock

Hi, since upgrading to JB, I've noticed that my battery drain on standby is a lot worse than on ICS. So I downloaded better battery and basically I have a partial wakelock from audioout_4. Looking at system usage, Android system and media server are rather high, and were never that high before.
Any ideas on how I can sort this please. I'm not sure what app out process thus represents. Cheers

I have the exact same issue,
Do you already have an solution?
By any chance any of you use a bluetooth headset/speaker or something? I can't find anything on Google regarding this so I'm just giving some random tech advice
Also, do you have a kernel wakelock screenshot?
I just checked my wakelocks and I'm having the same issue lol ~_~

it seems that we all have the same problem with the same AudioOut_4 wakelock.
In the first place i thought that "networklocationprovider" was the culprit for the phone not entering into deep sleep, but after the last update that problem is gone and only this is left.
and, very curiously, there's no solution on google, either..
If i found something i'll go back and report
AudioOut_4 must have something to do with the speaker.
I also have the same problem. Could is be somehow related to the music player?

I don't use my phone much for music, and wakelocks shouldn't be happening when the phone is idle and in deep sleep /: Still getting this wakelock ):
Anyone figure it out? I'm getting this as well... Although it is strange because I just saw it today. I've been running BBS for a few weeks and this is the first I've seen of it.
I wasn't using a music app or Bluetooth, so I'm scratching my head on this one as well.

Maybe it something related with google now? I change speeach output to handfree only and still monitoring how it goes.
One X Fueled by Tegra 3 Driven by IceColdJelly
Any solution for this problem? Got One X+ and same, phone is 3h off charger and AudioOut_4 is 50m on, top of the list for partial wakelocks...
I believe audio_out can be stopped by going to:
Settings - sound
Then Disabling touch sounds and screen unlock sound.
Not 100% sure but give it a try.

Google Services is draining my battery. Please help.

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.

Battery Drain

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing some pretty bad battery drain. I've had my phone off the charger for an hour and its already down to 75% and I've barely used it. I checked my battery usage and Google Services are taking up 75% of my usage. Is this normal and if not is there a fix that anyone knows of?

I would start with going over to android central and the HTC one forums, they have a sticky post about battery life here http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/269518-htc-one-battery-life-stats-discussion.html
Looks like you should turn off your GPS and location, and turn off your sync. Download the gsam battery monitor. It will help you out too.
Thank youuuu

Screenshots are pretty much worthless.
Install BBS, charge it fully, and let it sit overnight, then export a BBS dump as txt (use the share option in the app) as an attachment to this thread...someone will likely try and help you.

Looks like the majority of your issues are from GPS requests, I'd try and disable GPS and see if that helps your battery drain...the other next culprit is syncing, you should go into your google accounts and disable the syncs you don't need, like currents etc, along with other apps that want to sync...either disable or set the frequency to be less often...there are other suggestions but chances are you would not want to lose their functionality...you could try and greenify those things (such as viber).

Thanks I finally found the issue.
Now with an hour with on screen time and 14 hour of stand by and my battery is 87%. That's awesome.
If someone is interesting the issue was with the super user app.
It was consuming a lot of the cpu due to the adaway app.
Adaway deleted and the problem is gone.
