Hello,
I have a high battery drain because of "Android System". I lose about 3-5% per hour of my battery in idle state. I turn screen off and didn't use it.
I'm using Slim ICS ROM with franco kernel #174.
Badass Battery shows me that following included processes are in Android-System:
Code:
com.android.systemui
system
android:ui
com.tmobile.themechooser
surfaceflinger
com.android.settings
servicemanager
So anybody know what's the problem here?
I'm already disabled Google Photo Sync, NFC and GPS because I didn't need that. Also googling for the problem doesn't help.
Hope you can help, thanks!

Again, I've mentioned this twice today: Bullsh**, I don't mean to be disshonouring, or anything, but please, give proper answers,. It's all good, that you want to help, but only with proper and correct answers.
Right, back to topic;
Go into your dev. settings, and uncheck everything that doesn't need to be checked (Stay Awake, Strict mode, etc.) Undervolt the CPU, that should save a ton of battery charge, and underclock to 900-920 MHz, that is definitly enough, on a dual-core
Thanks for your answer =)
I think my phone is already undervolted through Smartreflex in francos app and I also tried underclocking by setting max cpu to 1036 Mhz (instead of 1200 Mhz).
The problem disappeared after 1-2 charges (don't ask me why..).
And now after flashing Slim ICS 3.9, battery time seems to be ok (for me at least).
Per hour in idle state the phone consumes ca. 2-3%.
I ask myself how do others get 1% drain over night. Is that even possible? Tried very much kernels (franco, trinity, glados and leankernel) and didn't even get near that.
Any tips?
OP Im glad you mentioned the issues went away after a few charges. this has been an issue for some who do not believe that a few charge cycles does anything. well im with you as i always see things sort of "settle down" after a few days of flashing a new rom.
I have the same problem on my Nexus S.
The process consuming battery is surfaceflinger. I can see it on battery screen before the name change to Android System.

I guess this is an Android problem. Not related to any device.
Android
Yes, i think your prob comes to every Android phone after flashing New rom.
Just wipe Battery stets after flashing. It needs few complete chargings to calibrate the battery.
There are also many apps in the market for this

This. People, just give it 2,3 days for the rom to settle after flash. Same for a kernel.

I don't know if was the new kernel I flashed or was the battery stats wipe I did, but seems now my phone have no more RILD/RILJ wakeclocks.

Yes, it is possible. I get 1 or 2% drain overnight with wifi and mobile data disabled, and up to 5 to 6% if mobile data is enabled overnight.
My record with it is 1 day and 20 hours from 100% to 3%.
I had a LG Optimus Black before and didn't last a day. I'm loving this Galaxy Nexus.

I would like to achieve battery drain like that, seems like what it should be.
I am running AOKP Build 2 and I feel like my battery life is ok but not great. I let my phone sit overnight last night with sync off, but LTE on and it drained roughly 4% an hour. I actually turned off LTE in the middle of the night to see if there would be a difference, and no, it drained at the same speed on 3G as well. I live in an area with pretty good reception actually, GSam says I spend the vast majority of my time with a signal strength of 4/5.
GSam reported that roughly 34% of my battery drain overnight was due to Phone Radio. Another 52% was due to app usage. Drilling into that it tells me that over 40% of the battery drain from apps came from "Android System", "Phone" and "Kernel". Under Android System, which was by far the greatest drain of the apps, it only kept the phone awake 1m18s overnight so that doesn't seem excessive. However, I'm confused as to why, with a good signal/connection my battery would drain at nearly 4% an hour whether connected to LTE or CDMA. Unless the radios in this device are poor, I have a hard time believing there isn't a way to fix this without using something like Juice Defender.
I can't recall because it's been so long, but I don't really remember any ICS ROMs draining this fast. I'm on a clean install of AOKP B2 and I've tried a few different kernels with the same results. Any ideas anyone?
So I wanted to let you all know that after trying a few different ROM/Kernel combinations all with similar idle battery drain, I installed the latest (9/21) CM10 nightly and I only lost about 10-12% overnight last night connected to LTE. That is a much better drain than the 30% or so I was seeing previously. Not sure why but my phone just hasn't been handling the latest AOKP builds very well. I am afraid to try a different kernel right now as I'm leaving town tomorrow for most of the week so I'll leave it as is until I get home next weekend, and see if I get this good of battery life with the latest Leankernel.
Surfaceflinger
The same happens to me, this app appear in BetterBattery stats, Surfaceflinger appear as the culprit of my 45%+ battery consumption caused by Android Sys
When I first rooted my phone (xperia S) I noticed an 31%+ energy consumption by Android Sys, I reflashed and re-rooted and stoped for 2 weeks or so, now 2 days ago I woke up to find that 81% of the battery is being drained by Android Sys, then it lowered to 31-43%. I noticed that when I refreshed the stock "Battery" app ,"Surfaceflinger appear for a moment, I seem that I confirmed with the BetterBatteryStats, Surfacaflinger appears at the top.
Why is this happening? Can something be done about it?
PS: I cannot change kernel, bootloader is locked...
Surfaceflinger and android.process.acore are top battery drainer. I mean how to make them not sucking on battery?
Hey,
I recently unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and installed CM10 on my HOX. I did a full battery drain and then full recharge before using, and still noticed that my batter is still being drained at a worrying rate. (3 hours gone and just 57% battery left) The screen takes 52%, but the Android OS takes 21% and the Android System takes 5%
Is there anyway I can reduce this battery drain? I understand the ROM is still in Alpha, but I've heard people still achieving 3 hours screen time with it! Maybe something to do with getting a new efficient kernel ? (I'm still new to all this).
Many thanks in advance

Firstly, what kernel are you using?
Give it a few days to settle in first.

Stock kernel I presume :/
Try another kernel after a few days of letting things settle in.

hi there - just a thought of sharing with you since you've already rooted your phone -
- Domination ROM CM10 thanks to Owain94 check it out on the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799375
- NCX 0.99bOC kernel by n3ocort3x see comparison here done by nimrodity (thank you guys) http://androidroots.com/king-of-kernels-kernel-comparison-htc-one-x/
Again it's a custom ROM expect for some bugs to come up - but you decide at the end since this version are better than alpha
Enjoying the flexibility & efficiency of the battery life on my HTC One X!
Hi guys,
I recently switched to CM 10 (Android 4.1.2) and the battery life is significantly lower than what I had on the stock ROM and the new Sense UI... I guess.
My phone won't run longer than 10-15 hours a day with normal usage, which means Wi-fi and 3G always on, screen on automatic brightness being used for about 1 hour in total (for one charge). However Android OS, Cell Standby and Phone Idle still account for the most battery usage, which I find weird. I have no wakelocks and my device goes to deep sleep when not used.
Is this normal behavior with the new Cyanogenmod and Jellybean or are my expectations too high? I already read most threads concerning battery life, but most of them discuss problems such as wakelocks or similar issues. My question relates to the normal behavior of CM 10.
I am grateful for all replies on the matter or personal experiences.
It's known that CM10 battery life is worse than stock JB. You can try different kernels and different governors, but it's a trade-off between life and performance.

I don't understand, I thought that CM is stripped out of unnecessary background processes and apps. As long as I'm not using any CPU or GPU intensive apps like games it should consume less battery than the stock ROM. Is there something I'm missing?
Maybe the updated kernel and drivers give better power effeciency. When the JB kernel source is released, hopefully CM10 and other AOSP ROMs will also improve.
You were saying about on screen time?
Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.
CM 10 really uses a lot of battery but of you could switch off wifi and 3g when not using, and clearing all the apps frequently in the recent menu may help... My battery then lasts from about the start of the day till night though the batterys now quite old.

i got a weird battery life yesterday, i was walking from work to home, i started watching videos on youtube, looked at the battery, 31%, after few videos looked again, still 31%, i walked 41 mins with a total of 9% of battery drain, i also played a game for about 25 mins, it was a really battery life.

That's pretty much my battery life as well. Regarding age, I'm really concerned, as I'm not able to open the phone and just replace it. But I guess that much better smartphones will come along before I consider getting a new battery and it won't be worth it any more.

I get that sometimes as well. I pick up the phone a couple of times and the battery is always at, say, 50%. Then, a couple of hours later I read a message and it suddenly jumps to 41 or lower. But from what I've read that's normal and no cause of concern.

I heard what causes the CM10 to have such an awful battery life is something that was supposed to save power when you lock your phone [Which is normally quiet often] and actually causes it to depelt, so it obvoiusly doesn't affect screen time
CM10 is a horrible ROM, get something else... I used LiquidSmooth for a while, it's a great ROM
Now running ParanoidAndroid 2.53
Btw, Stock ROM had a wonderful battery life, I only realize that now ... lots of ROMs can't reach that much

That's exactly what I did, flashed the old RUU and installed all updates. I don't know how the guys from HTC managed to do it, but the battery life on Android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+ is AMAZING. I easily get 24 hours with normal usage, over 2 days if I'm really careful.
This is what I got during a night sleep with cm 10.
I installed it yesterday so its kinda new tot me. What causes this?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Probably some nasty wakelocks. Install with wipe/factory reset if you didn't so already. Then try betterbatterystats (search xda) to find out what is causing wakelocks.
Hey guys,
I have been experiencing bad battery life on the latest 19S ROM, i also experienced same on 18S stock.
When i go to battery and view the stats. i always get ANDROID OS which is taking most of the battery life. This is annoying because it seems that it is reducing my usage time.
I read online that it is an app which is causing the OS to remain awake. I have to manually reset the phone maybe 2 to 3 times daily to prevent heavy battery drain.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue?
I deleted the TypeApp email app and had a big difference in battery, it gave me 5x as many wakelocks as anything else
A also have battery drain. Android OS is on top.. Any fix?

Hello
I recivied 3 days ago a new update to Miui 14, before update the battery work for 24 hours good (40-50%), now afrer 12 i'ts 20%.
does anyone have this problem?
I am using Miui 14 (xiaomi.eu stable edition), and I also experience battery drainage. I am looking for any updates, but they seem to have dropped their weekly updates for Lisa (the 5G NE). Let's see now, because I ended up liking Miui and not like the UI of any other roms...
yes have the aforementioned problem of battery drain. Since I kept this phone as stock I cannot even revert version
Yes, I've faced the same problem. I was getting 10% overnight battery drain. Then I flashed custom rom(AOSP), and now the overnight battery drain is 4%. MIUI su*ks

On my Mi11 used to get 2-4% battery drain overnight on MiUI13, since i updated to MiUI14 i get 8-14% battery drain, counting i usually sleep 7-5 hours, it's not an issue since i can change fast, but it's goddam annoying that now i consume 15% insted of 10% per Youtube watching hour
One thing could be done is unintall Carrier Services updates.
Any custom rom > stock miui
I've noticed that "com.android.bluetooth" is draining battery. Is there some fix?
