Hey guys I have a problem, I been getting really bad battery life while Web browsing using the stock Web browser, I tracked the problem down to Com.android.browser:sandboxed it's using more power than my screen is while I'm on xda on my phone (see screenshot below).
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if I can disable this or if anyone knows how to stop this from suckin up all my juice other than use another Web browser?
Here's a pic of my battery from just browsing xda:

If your rooted use titanium to freeze it.

It's a part of the stock web browser, You can't freeze or uninstall it, You can only freeze or uninstall the entire stock web browser using TiBu.
I can avoid the issue alltogether by just not using the stock web browser, But i believe it's the only 2k web browser at the moment.
Just sitting on youtube.com (video is paused) my battery is draining about 1% every 1 to 3 minutes on 0% brightness.
While on xda my phone drains about 1% every 1 to 3 minutes (depending on the page?? it seems like) on 0% brightness.
If i close the web broswer my battery drain goes down to 1% every 9 minutes on 0% brightness.
In any case, The stock browser + the sandboxing that the stock browser does is eating up to 50% of my battery while using the stock web browser. (This happens on both WiFi & LTE)
Is anyone else having this issue?? I think it could be caused by somthing i debloated.
I don't use it at all so I don't have that issue. Chrome is Mich better even though it's not 2k it works well without massive battery drain. Chrome beta suffers a similar issue, but there are always updates to fix it. If you really want to use the stock LG browser then I'm sure someone can figure out a fix, but I would use chrome, Firefox, or dolphin until then.

My At&t note 2 suddenly has very short battery life.
When I look at the battery stats it shows Gallery at 67% with screen only at 12%, I know this can't be right.
My battery won't come close to making it through the day. 2 days ago it was fine and would last for almost 2 days, not anymore.
I have restarted, stopped gallery, looked for offending apps but can't seem to find what is wrong.
Please help, I bought this thing because of the excellent battery, now it isn't lasting as long as my SGIII.
Here is a screen capture to give you an idea.

That is weird. Does the gallery still drain after you have "force stopped" it? I just checked my gallery and saw that at the bottom of the settings you could "search for nearby devices". I started this process and it told me that there were no devices nearby but it would continue searching in the background. How long it searches in the background is a mystery. It does not turn up in running processes?! Maybe yours is stuck in some sort of loop looking for devices? Have you tried to disable the gallery under setting/apps/all? Try that. If it works you will at least have a phone that lasts all day.
I hope you find a solution.

Since about a week the battery life of my one X has become terrible. According to the battery usage screen, google maps seems to be draining all the juice. Im not actually using gm though, so something must be going on in the background.

Thanks in advance!

Just disable it

And how do I do that? I can close the process, but it will automatically go back on. Disabling the app itself is not something I know how to do and not really something I would like to do either.
Perhaps one other thing of importance: when I open maps (or now) it says location services are turned off, while they are not.

disable from settings app manager OR
get greenify from playstore and just greenify it
problem solved :good:
Also, where do you live at? Might be your not connected to the right sattelites for your region. You could go to play store and download faster fix and make sure your phone is reading off the right satellites.
So I feel like since I rooted my phone and installed nova my batter drains more...and I'm really new to all this stuff and I don't understand what any of this means:

That's not normal. Whatever wakelock is keeping it awake is not captured in your WLD screenshot. Track it down in better battery stats instead, using "partial wakelocks"
Thank you...that's what I thought... I don't know what happened...so I went into partial wakelocks and everything looks like low %... But kernel wakelocks there was a lot of high percentages...
First thing that sticks out is drop box. It shouldnt be running for that long. Did you turn on auto backup? This will cause huge drains. If turned on turn it off. Also check in service running for 21 minutes... Turn off your gps. This is Google now constantly running and locating you to try and provide you with what it thinks is useful cards (weather, traffic, food in your area) I only then on my gps when I'm gonna use navigation. Otherwise all apps with gps access will start to run and kill your battery. Also I suggest greenify. It'll help a lot with things like Facebook, Twitter, Google search, ect. Wakelocks. Also removing or freezing bloatware helps tremendously with battery drain. And last carrier iq. Something that always runs in the background. Google search it or read up in the battery threads here on XDA. They talk about it a lot and how to try and stop it. Also this thread

although for the SGS5 it can be applied to our device as well

Hey! I am back again.....looks like I have a lot problems......anyway,
I have a Massive battery prob....
So I brought my device badk to firmware after a lot of abusing of my device......but then,this happened (i changed to a different rom to stop the same battery problem but it wasnt any good) its not wakelock, like when the device is locked, no battery is wasted but when the screen is turned on and i do light activities like google translate, youtube, it drains SUPER FAST! Like for watching a 10 min video on youtube, it took away 3% of battery! I have also enabled power saving, have kind of a decent brightness and the wifi sleep thingybis set to never keep on. So I really need help with that.

I checked and it says I use 2.4.....
Hmm, i guess you have checket others battery drain apps etc, i dont use facebook and messenger on mine..
You can try a full reset on it sometimes that helps. (Iknow it sucks to set it up again)

Ok, you could try root it again and try find the best battery calibration tools around, then im out of suggestions for now
Hello,
I just created this thread to post a tip that works perfectly with me to enhace battery life and it's very simple to do and i wanted to share it with you.
and it's just switching from BALANCED to SAVE BATTERY like you could see in the photos above, with this i gained +~40% of battery life. In my case i don't use the phone hugely but the way my battery drains was frustrating me even without using it constantly it was draining fast in stand by only.
before i tried this option i was always using DARK MODE and disabling auto start for apps almost for every app etc just to boost the battery life, and now when im on SAVE BATTERY im back to the LIGHT MODE and using the phone with the least battery life extension measures. i joined another photo showing the few optimisations i use.
i had to charge it 2 to 3 times per day from 20% to over 85%, now i don't even think about charging because i know that 50% of the lasting battery can absolutly be enough for me to the end of the day. (as i mentioned before im not a huge user of the phone), so when you use it in games for exemple it will drain as fast as it used to drain, i think it's way of working is limiting the process in the backgroud.
it's a good deal when watching films and videos in a browser also, i use kiwi browser with chrome extensions like ublock to block ads, the battery life is better when you switch to BATTERY SAVE option even when you put the brigtness at higher levels. i don't know about NETFLIX etc i don't use it so TBT.
Now i use 90 hz refresh date in i assume that i charge the phone 2 times per day just for ~35-25% or less just in less 15 minutes just to keep the battery over 70% and it doesn't bother me att all.
i wish this could be helpful for you guys
