Hey guys,
I've really liked this phone - until a few weeks ago.
I had the fated sudden decline in battery life. BetterBatteryStats has been on my phone for a while, so I opened it up and checked what usually kills battery on Android: the wakelocks.
It seemed totally normal!
Then, I checked processes. (These are today's stats, still just as bad)

system_server?
I noticed my phone was getting warmer whenever I was actively using it right under the camera, I guess which is where the SoC is. It's also been getting noticeably laggier.
Also today, under the battery usage in the settings:
Android OS and Android System are using twice as much battery as the screen.
This is pissing me the hell off. My phone drains perfectly acceptable battery when it's asleep, but take it out to use it and suddenly it's draining over 20% an hour. The extremely vague and obscure nature of the process doesn't help either. What does system_server even do?
I'm running Tweaked, and I've been alternating between ColonelX and Lean with no difference in battery.
I've also dirty flashed (really don't want to factory reset) to the NF4 Tweaked 3.5 beta. Only difference here is less lag.
As for bootloader, radio, and all that stuff, it's NF4 as well.
Nearly all Samsung bloatware is frozen in Titanium Backup, and all other troublesome apps have been greenified.
Attached is a log from BetterBatteryStats.
Thanks in advance for your help!
(I'm typing this on my phone, and battery had drained over 10% since I started writing this post.)
I had exactly the same issue since I upgraded my note 3 to Lollipop. It was fine when the phone was in sleep. But when using it, it drained the battery super fast...
system_server consumed lots of CPU resource at most time.

For the past couple of weeks ive been having issues with the battery life on my G2. I used to get 12+ hours of battery life on it but now im only getting about 7 or 8. Ive tried recalibrating the battery, clearing the dalvik cache, and changing settings on certain apps but that hasnt seemed to make a difference. Ive noticed that at the end of the day, the android system takes up a huge chunk of my battery. Any ideas?

I've had the same issues as the builds of CM have gotten higher in numbers. The ROM that's given me the longest life is the stoock Gingerbread rooted ROM. I switched back to CM because oof the Text MMS & them always being Slideshow issues as well as no ability to stoop the phone from vibrating when I'm on a call. Same issue with CM too actually.
I'm bumping this because I feel your pain.
you can fix that in call settings you know!
Are you running CM7? If you are, open up spare parts and look at the battery information under Partial Wake. See if there's something tying up the system.
There are a few things listed but I dont think its anything that would eat a whole lot of battery. Should I be looking for something in specific?
Anything that's more than a sliver is eating the battery and keeping your phone from sleeping.
I'm getting 24 plus hours on glite which is aosp also. Maybe the battery is finally giving up the ghost. They do have a finite amount if charge cycles. If nothing else has changed and all things being equal to your 12 hour charge cycles maybe you could try a different battery.
My phone seems to be getting pretty awful battery life lately. Over 9 hours (only 1 hour of which was screen on time), it's down to 22% battery. The phone has been sitting (screen off) for a good hour or so and when I picked it up, it's warm as if it's been awake. Android OS is showing a Keep Awake time of over 2 hours - twice the screen on time.
Following the advice here, I dumped my wakelock.csv file (which is actually a tsv but that's another thread).

But frankly I have no idea what I'm looking for or, more importantly, what to do about it. What is "main" and why does it have such an insane active since time [is that a unix timestamp?]? Why do wlan_wake, keyevents, and event1-226 have such high counts? I'm usually pretty good with this kind of stuff, but I'm at a bit of a loss with how to interpret this data :/
I also have the CPU undervolted (Gummy 0.3.0 with imo's kernel) and running at 350mhz most of the time. And frankly, the battery lasts about as long as you would expect if the phone were awake all day at 350mhz.
There's the problem, though. It's running at 350mhz most of the time.
Now, I should clarify this by saying that I just (as in, a few minutes ago) disabled Google Talk, Google+, and the "backup to google's servers" setting and already it seems to have made a huge difference, so I THINK I may have already found the problem. Before doing this, 350mhz far outweighed "Deep sleep."
Thanks to anyone who can help!
So perhaps my post was pre-emptive but disabling those three things seems to have solved this. It's cool to the touch while idling, and more importantly, the battery seems to be doing great now. It was losing about 10% an hour and now it's about 0.5%/hour while sleeping.
Again, I disabled:
-Google Talk
-Google+
-Google backup (In Settings > Backup & Recovery).
I don't know which (if any one thing) did it but it's DEFINITELY better.
My OS is eating my battery up. What could cause this?

If you pay attention to your battery life, you'll notice that the OS is usually the second most battery consuming process (well it almost always is for me). That means that if your phone in your pocket for most of the day, then it makes sense for the OS to take up most of the battery life as the screen isn't on much. This was the case for me today where I had less than 1 hour of screen time on my phone so the battery consumption by the OS was higher.
----------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that there is another battery life for the OS, so I guess the Android System is things like the keyboard, nfc, etc. but the above still applies. Check the screen time and you should notice that it's pretty low.

Thank you. I didn't know if it was a software issue because usually, and ordinary day like today, the screen always took the most %

Since the update of 4.4.4, the phone battery is draining faster than usual. Normally (in 4.4.2) I can have the phone there without usage for the entire day and battery goes down for only like 30% (from 8am to 8pm). But since the update, my phone battery goes from 100% to 8% in only 7 hours, with almost the same amount of usage. When I use the Battery Monitor app, I found that something call krtccd in Android OS is using the most amount of battery, even when the screen is off.

Anyone has suggestions what I should do?
(when updating from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, I first restore factory, then clean all data and cache, then flash the 4.4.4 from sammobile, root, and redownload all app)

I saw that post, but the thing is it wasn't like that on the previous version 4.4.2, it only happen after the update.
So I've had this problem for a while now where the phone would be awake for longer than my screen has been on. I would usually get around 10-12% of standby drain overnight.
But since this morning the problem has gotten way worse; the phone has been awake for pretty much every second with 20% overnight drain (I've attached a screenshot below).
How should I go about troubleshooting the issue?
I'm using the Indian variant with 6 gb and I'm currently on MIUI 10.0.2.

Battery Drain Because of Continue High Cpu Frequency Bug
Some Persons Solve this Bug in Miui 10.0.3.
Not solved!
I have also Redmi Note 5 global version with latest MIUI 10.2.1.0 stable and no root just unlocked bootloader and face the same problem!
A big thumb down to Xiaomi.
Maybe chinese try to spy people? Bugs like this should be addressed asap but it seems they are still in place, version after version.
With this big battery we should not face issues of this kind and have battery life over 2 days if this bugs would be resolved!
There a question in my mind: why the hell all manufacturers go for encapsulated phones where you cannot take the battery out??? Devices need current nonstop, even when they're off, for what??? Conspiracy?
Still, what we should do in order to repair our problems, without rooting if it is possible! I know rooting solves a lot of bugs but I'd like to keep it simple.
Something is running in background, try to figured out which app is awake by looking into running services under developer option and then close running applications
S.off your phone for 5 mins and then reboot your device
