Im having big battery drain with those 3 wakelocks:
ril-fd,
powermanagerservice.wakelock,
bam_dmux_wakelock
I have 4% activity level with Wakelock detector which is better than 19% that I started with but still not perfect.
During the night I had "PhoneApp" draining 11% of my battery, it has vanished after reboot, will check it again tomorrow morning. Im gonna drop some print screens a bit later but can someone please help me with those 3 wakelocks?
I read on this forum that those wakelocks might be contected to Fast Dormancy but came to conclusion that its not present in 4.4.2 KitKat? is that true? If its not there maybe that the issue? is there a way of acquiring it?

Hi!
I installed blackout ICS incredible in my DHD. Everything went well but I wanted to calibrate my battery.
So I downloaded Battery Calibration by NeMa from Google play. Before calibration my batterylife was about 12-24h depending on my use.
Now after the calibration my batterylife is about 5h!! And the same usage as I have always had, couple of calls, net surfing and maybe a little of Angry Birds and spotify.
Did I do something wrong or is my battery dead? My DHD is about 2 years old.
According to Google calibrating your battery (erasing your battery stats) doesn't actually do anything, so it shouldn't have made your battery life shorter. You could install BetterBatteryStats from a thread here on XDA to see if something else is eating your battery. Look at alarms and wakelocks.
Ok, thanks. I installed the BBS and I'll tell the alarms and wakelocks here if I don't find anything funny about them...
bananagranola is right.

calibrating your battery basically tells your OS how much batter it has or doesn't have. IF you flash a rom at less than 100% battery, then the max amount of battery your OS thinks it has might be different from how much your phone actually has. Sometimes this can affect battery life.
The other thing is, did you calibrate at 100%, then unplug immediately? If not, that might trick your OS into burning your battery so quickly.
Otherwise, 12hrs to 24 hours is super amazing, I'm a semi heavy user, and I'll only be able to get 12-14 hours of semi serious use (8 hours standby, 2 hours on off usage, some of that at 100% brightness when i'm outside, and lots of music), end of that I have only 32% left. 24 is pretty amazing, I wouldn't be complaining :laugh:
Well when you simply reboot new stats are generated.

Ok, so I have had today the BBS running on the background. I tried one thing in afternoon, I switched of Wifi. Wifi was off about 3h and when I came back to home I switched wifi back to on. I have still 70% battery!! and about 12h without charging.
BBS alarms:
android, wakeups:83 (Is this much?)
com.google.android.gsf, wakeups:56
com.android.settings, wakeups:13
and the rest of them is under 10
BBS Kernel Wakelock:
wlan_rx_wake: 14m18s
PowerManagerService: 10m57s
and rest is under 4mins
BBS Partial Wakelocks:
AudioOut_3: 3min16s
Twitter sync: 1m56s
BBS Other:
Deep Sleep is about 10.5h
Wifi On/running is about 6h
Is there something wrong or is there something that uses too much battery? Could the battery be "damaged" due it's about 2 years old now?
Sorry for stupid questions but I find it very annoying that sometimes battery life is 5h and sometimes it's way more than 12h with same usage.

What you've got looks fine (which makes sense, since you had good battery life this time). Keep BBS installed. If/when battery life starts tanking, take a look at BBS and see if anything else pops up. If you've got more questions then feel free to post again here.
Although you might miss the customizations of the roms, aospX has great and I mean great, battery life.

Hello guys,
My optimus g does unusual battery drain during deep sleep. Before about 2 months the battery consuming in a sleep of 8-12 hours was max 5%. Now after a sleep of 6 hours its draining 15%(!!!) with only WiFi on. My phone seems to be awake 8% through wakelock detector and the only apps that shown by Gsam battery monitor that using battery are Kernel(Android OS) for 21,5%,Google services for 6%. I am with stock rom and kernel no rooted.
Any solutions? thanks in advance.
Hi
I am having this problem also. At first of July Google Play Service were updated, and from then my battery goes as yours. I have tried all except hard reset. In internet I have found many threads that talk about it, but none has the trick for me. I am desperated. I am waiting for 4.4 in my device and will see.
Did you find any solution for this problem?
Regards
FermÃn
I got 4.4 before one week and now the battery is way better than before!
last night I had fully charged my m8 and when I slept at 12 it was 95% and morning when I woke up at 8 it already drained up to 15% battery ..that is 80%...I don't understand what's the reason for it ...no apps were running background and even power saving mode was on!
battery works great on normal mode..this happens mostly in standby mode!!
is anyone facing the same problem or I m the only one. .

Is there anything that could have been turning your screen on during the night? That sort of drain would most likely be caused by the screen. Has this happened before? It could be an isolated incident if not. Also, if you used extreme battery saving mode I doubt you would have had the problem, but that is a personal preference sort of thing.
Also, install GSam battery monitor and you can check what might have been going on when the drain was occurring.
Yes, need gsam screen shots. Or every reply will be a wild guess. And you need gsam root companion.
Hopefully you are rooted tho... Or you can't see the wakelocks from apps.
I was curious what kind of idle battery drain people are getting on their tablets/ROMs?
Measuring with Battery monitor Widget Pro, on my 8.4, running stock TW except for Towelroot, I am averaging -150ma.

Since I have an amper cable I can see the current the tablet draws when its plugged in with screen off / idle and fully charged. mine does this
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-20
so I would say its draws a quick 20 ma every 10 seconds - but since its plugged in it might not be in the deepest sleep setting that it would be when on battery.
anyways I have no problems with it staying at 100% or 99% leaving it off for the whole day unplugged so it has very good power management in my opinion. - just have to keep the wakelock apps in check
I updated from the ng1 build to the latest nk1 build and my idle battery drain is much improved with the exact same setup running. Now down to -40-50 mah.
I have terrible battery drain randomly for no reason and I don't no what is causing the battery to drain so much. I have attached an image is there anyway of seeing what causes this much battery to drain so quick?

You should install better battery stats, available here on XDA, to pinpoint your battery usage.
Looks like there was a really battery draining event that occurred quite suddenly?

I noticed in the screenshot you have might GPS on, there could be an app running in the background abusing GPS or polling it too quickly (look for a blinking / solid white pointer Icon in the top left of the statusbar, this will tell you if something is requesting location).
GPS will drain battery very quickly and should be disabled unless it's needed.
Hi,
I've been having relatively high battery drain over the past 3-4 weeks and extreme drain today.
I went out the house 85% percent and was on 50% about an hour later with approximately 15min screen on time inbetween.
It didnt even make it through the work day with very light usage which it normally survives with 40%.
How can I find out what causes the problem? It is not rooted and GSAM therefore only shows very superficial information.
The wake phases have been about 3h between 1am and 7am... when I was asleep.
I am on 8.0.0 Exynos
Thanks
I hope it will be back to normal asap because I was pretty impressed with the battery beforehand.
I use BetterBatteryStats (Needs some ABD commands to give permissions but doesn't need root)
