[Q] Battery Issue with sync

I have searched the forum and couldn't find a thread about this issue,hence opening a new one.
I bought my Galaxy Nexus few weeks ago.. The issue is:
My battery seems to drain very fast when 'sync' is on. During night time I tested and results are as follow:
What might be the reason for the same? I am running stock 4.0.2 rom.

Any help??

No, it will not work for sure. You should give us some more information and the screenshots of your usage. You probably have some sort of wakelock going on. Use something like Better Battery Stats and monitor those first.

the battery is draining even when I am not using it all. Is battery drain @ 4-5% per hour is okay when not using the phone at all?

[Q] What should I do?

Ok so I have my galaxy s3 att version rooted with faux's kernel on the stock rom. I havent received any updates since the original purchase and my battery life is suffering bad due to the cell standby problem (don't know how common it is) and is taking up ALOT of battery during the day. I need to get my phone up to the latest update so I can resolve this annoying problem. I leave it on standby doing absolutely nothing at all for 7 hours everyday and is always at %40 left starting off with %100. I dont know the process I need to do to update my phone to the latest and not lose all of my stuff and also be able to have it rooted on the latest update. Also a noob question but does it matter what version your on as far as how you root it? I would assume so but I dont know, and to clarify I mean like will only certain methods work on certain firmware versions?

I have a few questions for you? Are using the most up to date faux kernel?
What do you mean by leaving your phone on standby? Screen off and leaving it alone or something else.
Try something for me. Is your phone deep sleeping? Download an app called cpu spy and see if your getting deep sleep? Then report back.

Ok I'm pretty sure my kernel is latest to day. By standby I mean it's on but I don't use it like you first mentioned and the screen is off and I don't do anything with it ever day for around 7 hours. I just downloaded the cpu spy and it says I am not getting deep sleep at all!
For the other post I'm gonna download that and flash it and see if it helps

I downloaded and flashed that at stock update but there is only one problem. All my apps that require root are saying I don't have root access. I dot know what to do but that's the only problem and I need to know if I need to root it again and if so would it be the same method I did on the last firmware version I was on. And also just for more Info I still have cwm recovery too.

Try rebooting. Worked for me. Root came back.

Didn't work rebooted multiple times too

Flash the attached file in this post in CWM. This is the method I used when I first tested the H1 leak. You'll have your root access again once you reboot after flashing.

Haha thanks, glad I could help you help me lol?:silly:

You don't know what u r talking about. The cell standby issue was just an incorrect value that caused it to report higher usage than actual. It had NO effect whatsoever in actual battery usage.

I have an s3, my brother has an s3. Same exact phone. I hadn't updated mine at all, my brothers was up to date. We both go to school and font ever use it because we obviously aren't allowed to and at the end of the day I always have around %40 and he has about %75-80. Please explain to me when it says that, and under battery usage that cell standby used some %80 of my battery drainage that wasn't a cell standby issue.

Different batteries or more likely you have an ap running or poor signal or different settings than him. I have about 5 batteries all stock and some last better than others

That's not good ....the app requires a full charge and I think you have to do it a couple times.....and I'm not sure if it works or if its a placebo effect lol.. But I figured I'd share since its new.

Battery life is best determined after a few days of settling in .... About 3-4 full charge cycles........then if it sucks ...change and try another ROM setup.

I found Facebook to be battery hungry whether on LG's rom or CM. It refused to hibernate on greenify's command. The solution that worked for me was deleting Facebook.
And also monitoring apps behavior in general, wakelocks, etc. I put yahoo weather on a few days ago and the app racked up like 500 wakelocks in the first few hours.

I improved my battery life by restoring my DD, Stock 4.1.2 Nandroid. I can't see getting this much standby/screen combined time on our official KK, yet. Plus, I had issues with lagging and bugs (such as constant playback errors with Google Play All access). The only thing I miss is the greatly improved Stereo Bluetooth quality in 4.4 vs v the too-bad-to-listen on 4.1. If anyone could tell me if/how to edit those libs/files I'd not even care if I ever get stable KK on the e980. Anyway, organic battery usage.
I'm gonna let it run till dead and predict 72+hours with 4+ screen.

I was also getting severe Android OS battery drain for the last few days. I lost 60% battery life in just 3 hours!
I fixed it by "recalibrating" (or at least I saw it called this elsewhere on the internet) my battery. I simply used my phone until the battery died and my phone automatically shut off. Then I kept trying to power on the phone until it stopped attempting to turn on (this just makes sure your battery is truly dead; i doubt this does anything useful though). Then with the phone off, I charged until 100%, then continued charging another 2 hours (to make sure battery is really full). Then I turned on the phone. After this, I am getting excellent battery life and Android OS is using far less battery.

Ehh who cares... No root for 5.1.1 yet so I'm gonna hold off on it anyway. Plus it doesn't even fix anything really. Gonna hold off till root is available for 5.1.1.

Same! Thanks to your post I checked and sure enough, downloading now! ~563MB.

is it necessary to factory reset phone after installing 5.1.1?

Difference between OFF and OF7?

Got the update this morning... Installing now.

Update complete! First thing I did was remove S Finder and Quick Connect from the notification pull down. Other than that, I have no idea what's changed hah!

I noticed under developer options there is a toggle to unlock the bootloader. Good job Sprint!

[Q] Android SO battery drain

Hello,
I know it's normal, in 5.0, that Android OS drains the battery like hell, but is it normal that is consumes like 40/45% of my battery in version 2.18?
thank you

Likewise, even with ultra power save turned on it still drains fast. Every 2 minutes for me it drains 1%. I turned off the wifi scanning, disabled most programs, they need to fix this. 3,000 is more like 2,000 to me atm.
