[Q] Whats happening?

I used to be able to leave my phone on standby overnight with 30% of battery with wifi on but whenever I do now it kills the battery and I mean kills it. Its dead to the point of me not being able to boot the phone on and have it shut down on me. I put my charger in and the LED flashes for a while and its only when it stays solid that the phone has enough charge for me to turn it on.
Is this a problem with the ROM or the firmware build its based on or am I missing a setting? WiFi is not on best performance mode and I have selected to turn off after 15mins inactivity?

It's likely to be due to the rom you are using. What rom is it?
It's not necessarily the wifi draining the battery.
The latest MIUI roms are terrible for battery drain relating to the mic not switching off. Post back and I will try and help.

Make sure you check under SETTINGS>>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>>WIRELES SETTINGS then press menu and then Advanced. Make sure the "Best Wifi Performance is unticked, and whilst your here may as well check the sleep timers.
If this doesn't work, then you may want to hunt down the app "Battery Historym for GB" which will allow you to see the battery history in GingerBread Sense based ROMS. this will allow you to look at what has been using the battery. What you are most interested here is the partial wake usage, or what has been stopping the phone from deep sleeping.
It might be the wifi or it might be an app you installed recently.
Make sure you do the usual, Check HTC Sync is not on, and other accounts which can get jammed in the sync process. I find google calendar can do that for me.
Also rememebr to check your radio is matched to your ROM and maybe get SetCPU (Search for it on here for the free for XDA subscribers version) and check your speed settings and governator. Im using Smoothass atm and it runs awesome for me.

Yeah I don't have anything but my Facebook/Twitter and Google accts setup to sync and thats even set to manual so as to avoid constant data drain. I know the HTC Sync and HTC Sense accounts draining battery and the fact that both Facebook and Twitter for HTC Sense along with Flickr cause the Calendar process to keep the phone awake.

Will have to double check on Lees thread but was under the impression the governor you mentioned runs on boot on Leedroid, I have setcpu installed but haven't given it root as I heard of setCPU causing issues with some Sense GB ROMS. I'll try everything else and look at that as a last resort.

Battery Life Issues

Scenario:
Yes, yes, I know. Battery life issues. This is a common problem, noticeably on the Samsung Galaxy S3. However, I've taken a look at MANY MANY threads concerning this common and irritating issue. I always ensure that my data is off, wifi is off, airplane mode is enabled, power saving mode is on, sync is off, brightness is at low, etc. I've even gone to the running services section and manually stopped unnecessary processes. However, my battery life is still terrible. I've tried different roms, different kernels, and eventually found myself back at the stock rom and kernel (best stability). I've debloated my device. I even downloaded a bunch of useless battery saving apps that don't do much apart from the obvious. Is there anything I can do? I will be putting up screenshots of my battery stats.
Usage;
I am a typical user when it comes to smartphones. I browse through xda forums, watch some youtube videos, browse the internet, play a few games, and soon enough the battery begins to plummet. I've noticed at times that the phone gets hot. I have a general knowledge of the things that drain my battery the most. After looking at the battery stats section that comes with phone, it says that Android system, media, and screen use the most battery. Whats the point of having a smartphone if you have to tweak almost everything just to allow your phone to last one day?
I am thinking that there are certain background processes that are dramatically draining my battery. I don't have many apps installed, because I am always flashing roms. I've wiped media storage data, by the way. Some apps that I have installed are the xda developers app, dolphin browser, rescan media root, root browser, rom manager, DS Battery Saver, and lux dash.
Extra: I've debloated (still some left over garbage stock apps leftover but not much, and does it actually help?), I've installed lux lite and lowered my brightness to the point where you can barely see the screen, and I've also downloaded rescan media root and disabled media scan (I heard it has some effect).
If you have any suggestions, please post them. Thanks for reading my thread.

TL;DR all the way since there is no numbers. We need numbers and better yet wakelocks. The info you state sounds like normal usage that should get about 2-3 hours screen on time, and 16 hours or so day usage. You say you turn off data, and wifi, and put on airplane mode, and stuff and yet you use the phone normally?? Either way give us screen on time and the main users, and the graph.
Furthermore, no need for duplicate threads....

I'm going to charge up to 100% and then when I get to about 50% battery life or so I will post screenshots. As I stated in my first post, I acknowledge that there are many battery problem threads out there, but people also say it can vary from phone to phone, and I will soon post screenshots so that somebody can at least tell me what is causing my battery drain, specifically and what I can do about it.

Should I just leave it overnight and then post bbs log tomorrow?
Btw, should I install ktweaker so that I can set governor to conservative and also tweak some settings or should I leave it alone?

Also if you really want reliable results, either run the tests on the primary rom you will be using or run on stock rooted. Dont debloat because it can be very easy to remove something that could impact performance. You can do that after running your tests and gathering data. The further down you run your battery, the more reliable the data btw.
This hasn't been much of an issue since JB came out, but if the media scanner is using a large amount of power delete all your media content from both internal and external sd cards. Clear data on media storage (factory reset preferred) and run a day w/o the media on your device.
As stated above though, BBS screenshots are needed for further help.

No.
Charge it up before you go to sleep. Unplug the phone, turn off the display, and let it sit idle while you sleep for at least 4 hours. When you wake up, open BetterBatteryStats, and press the share button on the top right. Dump to txt file and post it here.
If you give BBS root access, and set it to show alarms (in the advanced settings), that can be helpful also. It's better if you can do this, actually. Then run your test.

I was referring to you making two posts about the same thing. As you're already aware of since you acknowledged your mistake here
and tl;dr is Too Long Didn't Read... just cause of the fact that there was no numbers to look at. Looking forward to seeing what your issue is tomorrow. Hopefully it might just be a bad battery.

Yeah just reset to stock and just doing some daily browsing on phone. Btw, on bbs, there are multiple graph, (processes, wakelocks, kernel wakelocks, other, alarm wakelock, etc) which one(s) should I post?

I left it on overnight, battery only drained like 4% so I don't think its a problem when its in idle. As of now I am testing how long my battery will last with moderate usage. I'm hoping it will last at least 24h its been 10h and its at 79%. Its that good? I've mostly been listening to music, I haven't opened any apps. Only problem is whenever I am on xda or playing a game, the battery seems to drain like 1% every 5-10 min. Is this normal?

Just leave BBS running all the time. If you have any more problems, I think you know what to do

This is exactly what I was expecting the whole time, normal usage and normal battery drainage.

Have you seen this? http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1/
Most of the battery "tweaks" in use by custom ROMs are in there. And I was running stock deodexed before S3Rx and ultimately Dandroid. Battery is always good as long as I run LJC firmware.

Just took a quick look at it, looks pretty complicated for me. What exactly is the difference between deodexed and odexed anyways? I've heard of both of them but never really understood what they were. Which firmware do you run on currently?
For the firmware are you referring to the 4.1.1 JB firmware T999_UVDLJC?

Battery problems

Hello, for some reason I am experiencing battery problems. I have a t999l with CM11 and the BMS kernel. So does my mom. This is important because she has been on her battery longer than mine and still has 90% while I have 39%. I know the problem. Under the battery stats my phone is always awake, and my Mom's isn't. See picture. I want to know mine it is always awake, and hers isn't. I have 6 hours with 39% and she has 7 hours with 90%. Doesn't make much sense. We both have the little "Okay Google" thing enabled too.

I hope I did it right. I've had this app installed for a while, actually, but never used it.

Umm almost there. Please Open BBS, go to Settings > Advanced. Check the box for Root Features. It will ask for Root privilege. Grant it. Reboot and get another log preferably Idle 3-4 hours.

Are you sure that was Idle Log ? Assuming it was, there are quiet a few apps working in the background.
1. Google Calendar has Alarms going off. Did you have an Calendar indicator / Alarm ?
2. Media Scanner although low usage, has been active. Please use the app called Kill Mediascanner.
3. Facebook and Google + really should be removed.
4. Yahoo email client was active. Although it was low key in this log, it will become a menace.
5. Please freeze / Disable Google Search.

disable location, bluetooth and NFC and see if it still drains. I had horrible drains until I started turning those off. I turn them on On-Demand style now
Usually it is google search/now using location

I had change Location to batter saving, BT I only use on demand.
Shut off NFC since I don't use it.

EDIT to backup follow autoprime's guide on post #2

What you should do is get both wakelock detector and betterbatterystats app as well to check where it really is coming from. Then do a factory reset as well.

let's see if T-Mo can fix the WiFi Calling REG99 issue first, then I'll root, wakelock etc.....
Although I like the phone, it's huge and I like my M7 a lot more. Way less batt usage and a smaller batt. Wish HTC was in better fiscal shape.

after messing with T-Mo tech supp tier 3 a dozen too many times, I did a factory reset (on a new phone? go figure).
way much better batt life and consistency with WiFi Calling, thus far, knock plastic and glass.

Battery Drain

Ever since I updated to 8.1.0 with December security patch, I've noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT with around 45-50% battery left. This was after being off the charger for 12-16 hours. Now I'm getting about half the SOT at similar numbers. Anyone have any ideas?

Excuse my stating the obvious, but you need to find what process or app is using the battery. You should be able to get a rough idea just using the new features under Settings>>Battery. It will identify which apps are using the most juice. Run the phone in Safe Mode to see if your battery life goes back to normal. It could also be a service like Google Play Service which sometimes wigs out and starts chewing battery. Are you rooted? If you need more detailed information there are battery drain apps available to help isolate the problem (BBS and GSam). These apps require root to give the best results.

Not rooted and currently locked. I've downloaded GSAM and have adb permissions and it simply says things like Chrome, RCS Phone and Play services. If you see from the photos below you can see what I'm talking about. Chrome currently isn't that bad, but yesterday and the past couple days it's been like 9% or more of the battery.

Two things: I've never seen phone or kernel use that much battery. On one page phone usage is 33 seconds, yet it used 9% ? I think RCS is running the background all the time. See if you can toggle it to not run in the background under Settings>>Apps>. High kernel I'm guessing is a kernel wakelock or multiple. You've probably loaded app(s) that are creating the problem, but you need to find out which one is causing the wakelocks. There is a wakelock detector "lite" app that doesn't need root but I don't know how well it works. I know the root version works well. Lastly, on the first screenshot with the battery, scroll to the bottom of the page and see which apps are listed there. I'd be willing to bet if you ran the phone in Safe Mode, your battery drain would disappear, meaning your user apps are causing it.

Well in safe mode my drain is gone so I'm not sure which app is doing it, but to directly answer your question about the RCS it is an overall app meaning it is related to several Google play services. I'll upload a photo of it. I have to reboot into normal mode.
Edit: I'm wrong about that it was the play services.. I'll have to start uninstalling the apps to determine which one is draining the battery I guess.

RCS can be a real battery hog, but I don't know why. I don't have RCS on AT&T. Do you use Messages as your primary SMS? Open Settings>>Advanced and see if you can toggle off "Enhanced Features". Open properties and check if it is using battery optimization. If it is not, set Messages to battery optimization. You can always turn these back on later if the battery drain remains.

My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly). Something just felt off, but now everything feels great! I am fairly certain what changed is installing the Greenify Magisk module and/or the Google play services doze module (this enables battery optimization on the Google play services app). Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

Before 8.1 I noticed about 11% per hour during screen on use and about 0.33% per hour while on stand by in my pocket or a little bit better if it's just sitting on my night stand not moving while I'm sleeping (I think doze is more extreme in that situation) which seems to match what you are getting. Based on that screen shot I think that's like 8 hours screen on time over like 35 hours for a full charge. I've done a little bit better but not much. That's excellent battery life.
Since 8.1 it has dropped. Best now is maybe 7 to MAYBE 7.5 hours over maybe 26-28 hours. In my experience battery life always drops after an update but this case is far from the worst. I remember when my Nexus 5 updated from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery drop was awful and to make matters worse the battery life of the Nexus 5 was pretty bad to begin with.

So in my last reply I thought I was wrong about RCS Phone app being a conglomerate of several apps in the phone. For some reason I couldn't find the information I needed at that time. I wiped my phone and started over after posting this thread. I was trying to isolate the misbehaving app. I thought it might have been greenify actually, but no the drain has returned to a lesser extent though. Here's some photos of this RCS app from GSAM.

I'm not sure what is causing the drain at this point. I've installed Better Battery Stats to locate the wakelocks so I can ignore them through ADB.

Have you tried disabling RCS ? (Post #6). BBS is good for idle drain, active drain not so much. It's best run overnight without touching the phone for 8 hours or so. Pick the phone up in the morning and create/save a log file as quickly as possible. Post the log to the BBS thread if you need help deciphering.

I cannot disable it since it is comprised of multiple apps. You can see it in the pics on my last post.
