Battery draining in sleep mode

Guys, in sleep mode, even with WiFi & Auto Sync OFF, the battery drains almost 10% through the whole night.
Last night it drained from 99% to 91% through the night without any usage.
Can someone throw some light on this issue?

2 possible scenarios: 1. You just sleep to much 2. You have a app installed (taskmanager battery saver?) that dont let your HOX sleep well

I have installed a battery widget app from the market. Do you think this is what is causing the drain?

If it is just a widget and not a battery saver, then no, i dont think so. Are you sure it is just a widget?
Do you have some other system-tuner-apps installed ?

Any similar free apps?

Hello, betterbatterystats is one of the most useful apps to check what drains your battery.
Basically you only check "Process wakelocks" and see which application "wakes" too often your phone.
Charge your phone and just before going to sleep, remove the charger.
BetterBatteryStats will take this action to start logging wakelocks ( default behaviour )
and in the morning, open BBS and see what process use too many wakelocks.

Did a quick check but didn't see one.
I strongly believe paying for applications that really add value to your phone to help developers continue their apps. Compared to the time you save by finding out which app is consuming battery the price tag of the applications is next to nothing.

I used betterybatterystats and it showed me that bluetooth was enabled. No where else did it show this, i restarted the phone and its no longer enabled. worth downloading if you have issues with the battery!

[Q] Battery Draining Problem desite hd

My HTC Desire HD is draining battery over night and being very hot in the morning while battery only remaining under 5% even if it was on 100% at night!
It remains like 10% ~ 15% while i put on the airplane mode.
I have installed Jelly Time by RandomBlame R30
juice defender, advanced task killer, and some more apps to avoid battery draining!
UPDATE: I have downgraded my phone to ICS Sabsa Prime
removed advanced task killer because a fellow member suggested me to... still facing the problem!
Screen shots are added in this thread so that you guys can have a better idea of my problem.
UPDATE: I have added some more screen shots of better battery status as suggested.
Please help me out here... any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Mortal Eternity!

Install Better Battery Stats and check wakelocks and alarms.

Well i just installed sabsa prime version 11.0... battery draining problem in day time is gone... thanks to alireza babae but after installing this rom my set is booting randomly...
Please help!

Can we have a list of the apps you are using to save battery?
And uninstall Advanced Task Manager. Task managers do more bad than good.
Sent from my Nexus 4, powered by CyanogenMod via XDA Developers app.

uninstall advance task manager and download Battery Calibration from Play Store. Follow the instructions in that app and it may solve your problem

Did you install Better Battery Stats...?

Yes i did n i did even more... want to share some screen shots... can you tell me how i can attach em? my attach tab is not working... i assume its a forum thing... please help

Here are some screen shots of what i m talking about
please view my uploaded screen shots so that you guys could get an idea of what i m talking about!

Er, what about BBS screen shots? I see your phone awake when the screens not on, so it's probably wakelocks or alarms. BBS will tell you which.

i have uploaded some screen shots of better battery status in the first post and adding some here... i need your suppot in this regard as i dont understand why you asked me to screen shots from this application specifically... dont know what are wakelocks or alarms and how to remove them if i am suffering to these locks...

More specifically, screenshots of kernel wake locks, partial wake locks (already there), and alarms. Select them from the top drop down box.
To use BBS: use it to diagnose what is keeping your phone from battery saving "deep sleep" mode. For example: you see Starting Alert Services in your partial wake locks? It's locking your phone awake more than it should. So what's going on with the app that uses it, which appears to be Contacts? Do you have apps installed or something running that uses it disproportionately?

Sir, i will upload more screen shots here that you asked for... thanks for all your help, can you/any one please suggest best rom to same battery?

I personally feel that choosing a ROM for battery life is not the most efficient method. There are many things that affect battery drain to a significant degree: backlight, GPS, WiFi, alarms, wakelocks, etc. I have not found that ROM choice affects battery drain nearly as much as other things (unless, of course, you're using a highly experimental or brand new ROM).

Download Battery Calibration app and follow the instructions of the App. Maybe it will fix it.

are you really sure your battery is still fresh? what combination (kernel+OS) you use ? also please check your apps... but even on heavy usage (for me is playing game, downloading torrent, and listening music) it can do about 2 hours...

You should not disable Motorola OTA and Motorola Services because after that you dont geht OTA Updates.
I disabled all of the other Apps and i think its Working

Does Battery Saver mode just disables data connection?
If so we can switch data off manually.

I highly recommend aerokernel. The 21 july release and leave the settings untouched

I tried aero but had reboots like crazy so foe now i'm off.I will install faux kernel,for me its the best.

Trying it out now : P
Will report back

If your rooted you don't need OTA's.

Maybe you should show us some proof

some more tips
use greenify and ds battery saver app
on ds battery saver keep profile to slumbeerer
by using these two ur battery life will be improved
and also remove unnecessary and unuseful apps
reduce screen time out and use low brightness :silly:
all these will helps in improving battery

HELP! Massive battery drain on OnePlus 3!

Guys, my OnePlus 3 (running OxygenOS 3.2.7 no root) battery is HORRIBLE! I can only get a maximum of 3 hours SOT from 100% to ~5%!
I've tried every method i found. I don't keep location ON, set my wi-fi off during night, i only charge it until full (NOT overnight!). Wiped my cache yesterday and still NO RESULT!
You can see in the screenshots below that #1 app that eats battery is "Android System" that has CPU total 2h 13m. (today)
Please help me on what to do!!!
>i'm a new user and can't post links to screenshots

Same problem here

Android system is supposed to do that. It's quite normal it really depends on usage. What are you doing in the meantime? What is your usage pattern?

But if what you want to do is find the culprit app then use wakelock detector from playstore.

Whoa! I downloaded wakelock detector lite now and i see that i can make it work even without root. This wasn't possible an year ago when i tried :victory:
I'm gonna come back with the results! Thank you!!!

I had the same problem with my OP³ running stock OOS 3.2.7 locked bootloader and unrooted. The battery used to drain by 15-20% overnight and also got similar results while using the phone during the day.
Yesterday night i installed google now launcher. The drain came down to just 2% overnight. For the first time i could see "phone idle" in the battery stats instead of android system.
Will use the phone during the day and report back today.
I figured from wakelock detector that the oneplus launcher was keeping the system awake by creating a wakelock for its weather service in shelf even when the option was turned off. Hope this helps you too.

Yeah, i also have Oneplus launcher keeping CPU awake and last night i installed nova launcher. Now the oneplus launcher is not keeping the system awake anymore but in phone's battery stats there is still "Android System" consuming 7% (the most) with "CPU total - 1h 20m" and this process never stops!
I will keep it 1-2 more days to see if something happens and if not, i'm gonna wipe it.

The problem persists even though i switched to Nova Launcher. There is still "OnePlus Launcher" in Wakeup triggers (woke up 70 times from 100% to 77%) but on the first place is "Google Play Services" with 88 times until now. Btw, "OnePlus Launcher" is #1 consumer in CPU wakelock.
