HI All,
We are a bunch of graduate students at OSU who have developed an app which can be used to help users find the reason for battery drain.
We are fairly successful in testing our app in the past and we have recently upgraded our app to include much more sample space.
It would be very helpful if you guys can help us with the list of apps which you feel are draining your battery very fast.Secondly, we would like to help any new budding andriod app developer who would like some help to improve his app w.r.t battery drain, we would be more than happy to help to help him fix that part.
Expecting your favorable reply.
Regards,
Manoj.

Please post your rom and its version along with how you are getting improved battery life.
i.e.
Rom
Version
Apps
Settings
Rough calculation
And whatever else will help.
Basics are watch your wifi usage(except for virtuous), screen brightness, running widgets, blah blah blah.
Its hard to find this info in threads and I am sure there are a lot of people having issues with this and seeking help in frustration. Please try to keep this cluttered only with battery life help for all roms. This can be gery usfully if we try and keep it clean and to the point. It will also give comparision if one is looking for that. Please delete if this is already posted somewhere.
Thank you

Hey folks,
I have a lot of drain by my kernel/google, can some one point in a good direction. I'm running team nocturnal slim n trim.
Something wrong on your last snapshot.
Why Awake/wifi time is much bigger than screen on time?
If you find the way to decrease the awake/wifi on time, then you could save lots of battery drains.
There are many good information in general section. Check it out and I also created several threads which could give you the good guide lines to save the battery.
More specifically, can someone help me understand or isolate what in the kernel or Google is causing this drain and if my thought process is correct?? I have Google sync off, so I'm not sure where I'm getting this and i have no idea on the kernel.
Helo to everyone,
I'm facing a serious problem lately. No matter which stock MM rom I flash I get wakelock on Android OS proccess. Let me explain all in details. The way I flash a new rom is as everybody - I wipe all partitions except internal memory and external sd card. Then I flash the new rom and later I restore my apps using titanium backup pro. I find it very usefull as with it I can restore my programs the way they were setup before the rom change/update. It's very usefull if somebody like me is doing some tweaks for battery life with amplify, greenify and etc. in which there are a lot of tweaks and settings that are needed to be applied. There are several several nice guides on xda on how to get a nice battery like my favorite one from our member v7 - ✭[GUIDE][07-02-2016]Extreme Battery Life Thread(Greenify+Amplify+Power Nap)✭ It's very time consuming to make all the tweaks on this guide on a new rom one by one so I use titanium to restore the amplify app with the setup. Anyway all was working fine and I was able to get very nice SOT and great battery life and almost no drain if I don't touch my phone - here is a screenshot what batterylife I was getting before - screenshot 1
In a few days before a new versions from our favorite modified stock roms were posted and I decided to update my rom with one of them and then after setting my phone as usual I noticed extremely hard wakelock on Android OS process. Now my phone cannot enter on deepsleep and if it enters it doesn't sleeps long enough. I did some research and the only thing I found was it maybe from Google play services. I made some screenshots from BetterBattery stats program to show for what I'm talking about. Please check all the screenshots and they speak for themselfs. I tried several guides on how to fix playstore and services but with no luck. I'm almost pretty sure that the problems are in google playstore and google play services as it seems they are running 99% of the time and are preventing my phone to enter deepsleep. I tried to freeze and remove them and my phone entered deepsleep with no problems. I don't play games and don't use any battery hog programs - the only program that is running all the time is facebook which I moded to use without messenger and it was working fine. From the screenshots it is clearly visible that it is not draining my battery. Please if anybody can help me fix this problem please write me what I'm missing or doing wrong.
I had uploaded all the screenshots on my dropbox that I made to help you guys find what my problem is. They are uploaded here also. Thank you for your time ! Wish you all to have the best battery life that is possible
Hi guys,
Today I noticed that the developer of genesys rom found about this wakelock in Android OS proccess and he removed the links to his rom until he fixes it and release a fixed version. I also read that other guys are experiencing the same issue. That is some kind of good news for me because I started thinking that I was doing something wrong, but now after I read that other people are experiencing the same issue on the new version of the genesys rom (3.9) I feel better as the problem is not at my phone and apps setup. So now all we have to do is wait till the problem gets fixed. There wasn't any responses to my thread maybe because all is looking good from my screenshots but it is acting wierd and maybe nobody wasn't able to give me a solution for this problem. But I'm sure that the developers are doing their job and they will get it fixed. Anyway I'm very interesed why this happened and would like to know more about it but we will see this in future. So if somebody else is experiencing the same problem - let's wait patiently till it get's fixed. Thank you all for spending some time to check the thread. Good luck.
A better tool that can help figure what is causing these problems is battery historian.

Generate a bugreport, check it in a txt editor and remove any sensitive info, then upload to the server setup.
You want to do this at the end of a charge cycle so you can closely examine where the drain is happening and maybe get more clues as to why.
Your case is more complicated since you are using a rom. But maybe this can still help.

Very happy to find that there're still many of developers out here for the beloved G3.
So are there any recommendations for battery saving kernels and roms?
it would be much obliged if any of your battery saving setup for G3 provided.
I ' ve always loved modding so i tried hundreads of kernel and rom theese years. Stock based, aosp. Lately was thinkhing to put to rest my g3 because battery life , was really really poor whetever i tryed.
But i changed my mind recently, using a stock odex rom made my phone great again.
If u have a d855 try the odex version of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/d855-clean-rom-1-0-t3629917
I use Greenify too
Thanks for your reply.How about the screen on time for a single full battery charge? Greenify is must I think. Enabling aggressive Doze and App-standby with GCM on would help
Hey Pro Bros,
