I'm so frustrated with my phone battery. I go to sleep at night with my battery at 99% and I wake up 4-5 hours later and find my battery drained to 30%. I use better battery state (screen shot), but I can't figure out what's keeping my phone awake...
Can someone please explain how to find the source of this problem? I appreciate it soooo much.
Btw, if it matters... This problem been stuck with me with all of the ics roms, all roms. I have like 30 apps installed... do I deleted 1 app a night and wait to see what happens? Any other way... Need your help sooooooooo bad.

You will probably get a better answer in the better battery stats app forum. Read the directions on the op, post a system dump and Chamonix is great about helping out.

Do you turn off Wifi when you go to sleep? I'm only asking because I see it's on in the SS. If you don't turn Wifi off then that's your culprit.
if it were me, I'd install gsam battery monitor (look for it in the market, free) and go to 'app sucker' and look at the "View Time Held Awake" and the "View Num Times Waking Device" to find out which app is causing your heartache.
I also had the same wakelock problem, using BBS it was "*backup*" which is a google sync I believe, just froze it with TB, and problem solved. Using BBS, just change the settings to show "partial wakelocks" and have it set to show "since unplugged"
Why don't you just charge your phone overnight? I wake up every morning and my phone is at 100% when I wake up

Thanks xda'ers
I will give all the replies a shot and report back.
Brook... I do, I'm just trying to find out what is killing my battery day & night. I remember Calks GB lasting me at least 20+ hours with light usage, now with no usage I pull my phone to find its almost dead... Sux ya know
Is anyone else having big battery drain since updating to JB? I used to get 2 full days now i can't get 16 hours my phone is staying awake. I'm stock unrooted using juice defender plus. Thanks in advance.
I don't get as much battery I get about 8-14 hrs with 2-4 screen in time I use to get 10-20 hr with 3-4 hr screen on time. I hope they realise a update to help fix the issue seems like quite a few are having.

Yes. I suspect you're probably having the same problem as me. Ever since upgrading to JellyBean, the battery is horrible. Checked BetterBatteryStats, and it's because of msm_otg, it's constantly hitting the device with kernel wakelocks. If I look at CPU states, my phone has been in 384 MHz for 97% of the time, deep sleep 0% of the time. Since it's not sleeping, the battery is draining much faster.
It has something to do with USB on-the-go, but I can't figure it out.
I am having opposite experience. I am getting incredible(to me) battery life. Fully charge yesterday at 430pm and this morning after a bit of texting and calls, battery is at 80%. Pretty good and should be able to get at minimum 1.5 days usage out of it at current rate.
Also, disable Google Now. That's known to be a huge batt drainer.

Sorry for the noob question but how do you disable Google now, never used it so don't know which one it is. Thanks in advance.

This still didn't fix my battery problem. But you'd go to apps -> Google -> Settings -> Google Now. Press the on/off switch at the top right.

Thanks, we'll see how it goes from here.
Did notice my battery was draining more before JB. Once I downloaded JB my battery seemed to drain worse. Finally figured out it was Nova launcher, so switched back to TW and battery is back to normal, with google now on, mainly just get traffic and weather for now.

I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The battery drain continues even after disabling Google Now uninstalling Facebook, pandora and other apps and turning off gps, bluetooth. Andriod OS is staying awake and killing the battery. In data usage delete apps is running in the background at 43 mb? Anyone else?
For me it started with LI3 then into JB.
I noticed Media was at the top of my list when i checked what apps were using battery.
So i ended up disabling the com.sec.android.providers.downloads and so far i think this has helped get my device back to normal battery life..

I don't like any apps that are supposed to save your battery. they usually contribute to battery drain. get better battery stats and see what's causing wakelocks. it's probably location services related to google now. when you don't need it, turn off gps AND location services

Here's a possible problem http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__2690#entry750372
I would be more concerned with partial wakelocks first, then kernel wakelocks second
enable restrictions and make sure your wifi isn't when not needed same with your Data. if you don't have 4g, turn on only CDMA data. went from 50% every 4 hours just to 15%

Facebook has always been a huge battery drain. Especially now that messenger is integrated into it. Friendcaster Pro is much better anyway

Exact same issue for me. I will try this.
I have had severe battery drain for a few days now. I disabled google now yesterday and that didn't change anything. My phone was constantly warm. Today, I turned airplane mode on and the battery still drained. It got down to 58%. I read somewhere in this forum that the google maps update was causing some battery drain so I uninstalled the update at 58% battery life. Three hours later I had 57% battery life. So, for now I can only assume that it was google maps that was consuming my battery. I will have to try updating maps again to make this a more concrete assumption.

Try to take a look.
I have been having these kinds of battery graphs since very long time. Using stock oos 4.0.3 without root and have locked bootloader.
I tried cleading data of google play & service' apps and even cleared cache from recovery. Disabled the hibernation feature in battery settings and enabled doze from developer options. This made no effect. So switched back to default settings again.

Phone doesn't doze' properly. It stays awake even when am not using it and drains battery a lot. I have seen phone getting warm several times even when it's just lying. SOT is very poor considering i have not changed my usage scenario and have given a lot of time for the OS to settle properly as well..
Here's another screenshot just after i woke up. Phone was chraged upto 98% when i went to sleep and it came down to 65%

Your phone is awake most of the time. Install BBS from its thread in XDA, learn how to produce idle logs in BBS and post one in the BBS thread.
Mind you, on Nougat, there is not much option for controlling alarms/wakelocks except using Greenify and MyAndroidTools. No Xposed and so no Amplify.

Did you turn on the aggressive doze option? I bet you have some app like Facebook keeping the phone awake. The other answer to grab BBB is a good idea

Yes i have enabled the aggressive doze and about the facebook draining, i think it is not from facebook because i rarely use it and it appears rarely in battery stats.
Here are some screenshots from BBS:
Custom one is when in the evening i had set the custom ref. after clearing all recent tasks. Check these if get something from these. I don't see any deep sleep stats any given time

You need to get an idle dump of at least 6 hours along with screenshots of the battery and battery history page of Settings. These screenshots are not going to help anyone to analyze your issue.
install logcat and see if it spams same error message over and over.
Hey guys,
I always wondered, why my phone wouldnt Deep Doze (according to Gsam). Be aware: I am not talking of the Deep Sleep (the CPU state, that is happening).
I always lost between 1,5 and 2% per hour overnight with the phone just sitting on the table, connected to the home wifi.
I disabled the Sim-Card (physical one, no e-sim) before going to bed tonight and my phone deep dozed now.
Yes, I am aware that there is this Mobile Network Standby Drain Bug. But since I disabled "Always use mobile date" in developer settings and was using WIFI during mentioned times, I dont know how that appiles to me.
Anyone has ideas?
Thanks!
Put it into airplane mode overnight and see if you get the drain. At least you'll know if it's a app or radio issue.

no offense dude, but did u read my post? see above.
What the heck is deep doze?
As stated above, it is a doze state that is being entered after the light doze. Check Gsam battery for your stats regarding deep doze.
I had the same problem, dropping 2-3% per hour over night. I turned 5G off, turned off 'mobile data always active' in developer settings and turned off adaptive connectivity.
Now im only losing .2-.5% per hour overnight.

May be related to a ProxyController bug that people have reported. One workaround I've heard of (cannot confirm it works) is to turn off Airplane mode, reboot, then turn on Airplane mode,

I did all that. No deep doze tho. And even when I had deep doze when disabling the sim-card entirely, i had more than 1% drain per hour in standby. How tf do u get .2-.5%!? Do u have telegram/whatsapp/insta?

Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. Light doze, deep doze, medium awake doze.. come on look at your cpu stats and deep sleep when screen is off. If it's not deep sleeping overnight at least 90% then something is keeping the phone awake and you need to find it. Get BBS and look at your alarms and partial wakelocks. You have a runaway program that is constantly waking up your device. Mine was Mi Fit and I tweaked it so it's not awake all night long. Went from 1.8% / hour to 0.4% - 0.7% consistently.
@Napa7m Insta and WhatsApp shouldn't be doing it. Not sure about Telegram but I do recall some issues a year ago and I deleted it from the phone.

Either something is using up power when device should be deep sleeping, or it's just defective.
So he's right, monitor app usage and go from there. The built-in battery stats work well enough. It's how I discovered that 'mobile network standby' was consuming 20-30% over night with nothing going on.
DOn't forget to expand the 'system usage' at the very bottom of 'battery usage'.

I did and it still sounds like you're looking in the wrong place for your awake status. It's a background process that can't really be tweaked or modified on it's own. But alarms and wakelocks can that's why I said look there first. If your phone is not deep sleeping err.. deep dozing then something is keeping it awake. Find it and you're home free. What kind of deep sleep are you getting overnight?

Deep sleep = deep doze? My wifi is on and have 4G enabled. This as taken about a month ago but nothing has changed.

I have about the same as you, mobile network standby around 20-25% overnight. I don't turn off 5G but I am connected to wireless with a very good signal. I have mobile data always active enabled as well as adaptive connectivity enabled. What I did to was turn off every adaptive setting in battery settings. Perhaps it's the wifi I'm connected to but I'm getting average 0.5-0.6% drain overnight. Deep sleep around 92 %. As I said, I did see some partial wakelocks and alarms when I was almost 2% / hour and either deleted the apps or figured out how to stop/slow them when not in use.
@bobby janow ok my man. first of all. a read for you, what deep/light doze is: https://www.andreasschrade.com/android-battery-optimisations
and no, its not the same as deep sleep. deep sleep is the cpu frequency.
my phone is now (out of a sudden) going into deep doze overnight, so that seems fine. also wakelocks couldnt have prevented my phone from going into deep doze, cause then, it would have also not gone into deep doze when I had my cd-card disabled (since there should be still wakelocks, when my phone is connected to wifi and all, right
since mobile standby is concerningly huge in the battery stats i assume its the usual culprit, but disabling adaptive connectivity, 5g and enabling that dev option does not help.
tho i am willing to find some wakelocks (since they seem to affect the device also a bit in terms of my standby drain). according to gsam everything is fine in that department, cant really find unusual wakelocks. does bbs show more there? im not very keen in running an adb to make it work...what does that command line do exactly?
thanks!!
@xflowy BBS needs 4 adb commands and it takes about 30 seconds to complete with a copy and paste from his thread. It has two wakelocks stats, kernel and partial. The kernel ones are meaningless to me but the partial tell a lot, you'll see. Also just as important is the alarms stat. It gives you that amount of time an app is firing i.e. wakeups. Check it out see if it helps you. Thanks for the read, but it's beer day today and that looks like it will take all my concentration. Lol.
@xflowy On first read it looks like battery optimization regulates doze mode, right? I mean that's really the only way?
It also happened to me after many tests I have managed to solve it, deactivating the sim card and esim, and restart, then activate the sims and drain solved, it already goes into deep sleep.
I have the exact same issue. I thought I'm the only one. But I'm unable to resolve with this by disabling sim n reboot method. Can anyone suggest if it's hardware fault ?
