Hello, new to the forums here. I recently updated to 4.4.2 on my LG Optimus G Pro and I went from having a battery that lasted all day, sometimes two days to my phone being dead by the time I get home from work for the day ever since the update.
Two days ago I had 1hr18min of screen time within a 6 hours off the charger and the phone was at 15% battery life left. Today, I had 13 minutes of on screen time and at the end of my 6 hour shift my phone was at 40% and dead a few hours after I got home. I have GPS, bluetooth, NFS all disabled and my brightness set to 30%.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm thinking of doing a factory reset and just not updating to the new version of android when it prompts.
Thanks

Get betterbatterystats and see if you phone deep sleeps. If not then check what the wakelocks are in partial wakelocks. If it's a kernel problem maybe you need to flash a different kernel.

i am running stock phone. it is not rooted or anything
Same exact battery drain problem. Im on stock e980 rom (rooted) with no custom kernel.
Gsam battery monitor app is showing the kernel as keeping my phone wake for the entire time my phone has been unplugged.
The problem seems to come and go though. One day itll be fine, but another day the battery will be sucked dry fast.

I'm running stock rooted for e980 and have pretty good battery life .... Try clearing Google play services data and rebooting ... Check and see what's draining your battery mol its pretty easy

I'm also running stock kernel, and have great battery life on kitkat. Just reset your phone to factory defaults

I've done this twice in the past 3 days....
I'm sick of having to set up my phone over and over again. And this is a new phone too. I just got it Monday under warranty because my old phone broke.
It's getting annoying. I used to get 14-17hrs+ of battery life (casual use, usually ending the day at 30-50% too, so I never even reached 0%) with my old phone on Jelly Bean. Now with Kitkat, I get around 6 hours if I'm lucky! According to Wakelock detector, my phone is awake 85%+ of the day! All it points to is Kernel (Android OS). I see lots of Wlan_wake triggers too, so I suspect wifi, but even with wifi off, the drainage still occurs. And I only have a 2GB data plan shared between 3 people, so it's not like I can just use data all the time either. I actually NEED wifi.

do you have an SD card installed? Maybe you can try to remove that and get rid of all other media from your phone storage. Might be a media scanner problem? Or maybe you can try to disable auto sync, and check if Google play services is the culprit.

The media scanner usually shows up in the battery stats window though, and it isn't. I've had a corrupted SD card on my tablet once before and it caused media scanner to go berserk, but the Mediascanner entry appeared under Settings>Battery as the highest battery consumer.
In this case of my phone right now, it is Android OS in Settings>Battery. According to Wakelock detector, GSam, and BetterBatteryStats, it's more specifically Kernel.

Have you tried reflashing your firmware, instead of just doing a factory reset?
I assume you are rooted since you are using BBS and wake lock detector on KK. Why not flash a custom rom?

Hi i had the same problem as you but i started digging inside the system of the phone i found the problem but you will require root access. If you have root you have to delet a lib file tand it carrier iq wich run in background and drains your battery the file to delete is libiq_client.so do that and you will see an increase in battery life

I did this on Tuesday or Wednesday.
... I messed something up on my phone while trying to install a custom recovery, so I was basically forced to reinstall everything. I'm on stock ATT e980 ROM (on an E980) + root. I reflashed the Jelly Bean tot file and then did the OTA update with no apps installed.
On the phone that got warrantied, I had flashed the E980 kitkat backup (now has a flashable version too), and the battery life seemed to be much better on it for about a week, and then the issues started there too.
I just rebooted the phone into recovery and wiped cache and Dalvik cache. Many people on Kitkat are reporting that this helps, but only for about 2 days then the issue returns. Obviously, I want a permanent solution.

Will report back if I see anything noticeable.
How would this this battery though? Like, what does it do? Are there any adverse effects to removing it?
EDIT: BTW, I know you weren't addressing this at me, but I'm still trying it LOL

I didn't see this part of your message, but I just had to respond lol
Yes, I'm rooted and I absolutely hate custom roms. They take out all the features of the phone that I originally bought the phone for, like Smart Screen, the IR remote (yes, I know it can be ported), and the quick memo button. Plus I used custom ROMs on my old SGS2 and they always caused me tons of problems. Crashes, overheating, random reboots, random SODs, etc etc etc. Plus I hate the AOSP feel. I know it's true Android, but I just don;t like it.

I'm still getting more than usual battery drain, but it is better now.
I just got a replacement OEM LG battery, so I will try that to see if maybe the battery is defective. When I got my phone replaced under warranty, they didn't have batteries in stock, so they just gave me back my old one and ordered me a knew one. The old phone was overheating a lot too, so maybe the battery is bad.
UPDATE: OK, MUUUUUUUUUCH better battery now!
I put in that new battery and "recalibrated" it by draining it to 0% and charging with the power off. Once it reached 100%, I let it charge an extra hour, unplugged, and started up the phone.
I also installed Qualcomm Snapdragon's Battery Guru. I set it up so that it's mostly managing app syncing, but I also set it up so that it will not rely on location services to turn on/off my wifi. I don't want to leave my location services on all the time. I don't know how it is on Kitkat, but on older Android versions (ICS and GB), leaving GPS on was a huge battery drainer! I still treat location like it was back then.
Anyways, it will take a few days for the app to learn my usage patterns, but it's already helping by making certain apps only sync when I open them, etc. I suspect that all the wlan_wake wakelocks are being caused by auto-sync but I'm reluctant to turn it completely off since i rely on it to sync my work schedule, calendar, etc between my phone and tablet. I just wish there was a system setting to allow auto-sync to run every X hours or something. I really only need the sync to run every 6 hours or so.
It's been about 35mins now with 6mins of screen time and the phone is still at 100%. A few text messages and the installation of Battery Guru too. This is normal and how things used to be. After a while, the phone will most likely go to 99% and then have faster drain, but it shouldn't be so rapid like before. Earlier today, after 30mins, the battery would be at at least 95% or lower by now! After a full day, the battery usage graph would should a 45 degree angle too! It used to be an almost level, very gradual angle instead.
I should also mention that for a while, I was using a Zero Lemon slim battery (3150mAh). I bought it because of all the hype Zero Lemon was getting here on XDA, but I really regret it now. I used it for 2 weeks (1 week on my broken phone and 1 week on my replacement) and the drain wasn't consistent, even after several calibration attempts. It lasted me all day though, but I'd be stuck at maybe 3% for like an hour, then while in deep sleep, the battery would "magically charge" to 6%.
After I swapped back to the OEM battery, I don't think I recalibrated, so I wonder if my phone thought I was still using the Zero Lemon.
I'm planning to return the Zero Lemon.
UPDATE2: It's been a couple hours now and the Android OS is starting to retreat from the #1 slot in the battery consumption list!
Screen is #1 now and Android OS went from 65% usage to 14%! :good: :good:
UPDATE3: :crying: OK, it's broken again. I didn't do anything to the phone, but when the phone hit 50%, I left it alone for 2 hours and the battery drained 30% while it was supposed to be sleeping. Android OS is back up to 80% usage!
Wifi on, Location off, Bluetooth off, auto-sync on. I'm trying auto-sync off today to see if there's any dramatic improvement.
UPDATE4: I might be on to something now. I noticed 2 things: 1st, when the screen is off and the phone is SUPPOSED to be in deep sleep, the back of the phone stays warm to the touch. It wasn't hot, but it was warm enough to be noticeable. 2nd, I had System Tuner installed yesterday but uninstalled it this morning. Despite uninstalling and rebooting, the phone was still draining battery fast (I still lost 25% in 2 hours today!). I noticed that System Tuner had added a script to System/etc/init.d, so I deleted that and rebooted. Now the phone seems to be sleeping (says so in BetterBatteryStats and WakeLockDetector), and the back of the phone is COLD to the touch when doing so. I took a shower today (I take fairly long showers too LOL), and then checked my email, and the battery life didn't decrease at all during that time while it was asleep.
Obviously, I need to test this throughout the day now, but this is definite progress, if not the solution.
Also, on my warrantied phone, when I had the Zero Lemon battery inserted, battery drain was high (battery's fault), so I installed System Tuner then too, trying to tweak the phone. After switching back to the stock battery, the drain remained, but most likely due to System Tuner's script.
Then when I got my replacement phone, I ALSO installed System Tuner and of course, I got battery drain issues! I factory reset, but did not install System Tuner, but the problem still remained. However, it probably remained because the reset doesn't remove system files, so this script was still in the init.d folder.
FINAL: I ended up flashing the stock ROM again (I used Eazy Kat 1.0 this time). My phone began bugging out on me. Random crashes here and there, mobile data randomly disappearing (no LTE/4G/3G at all), and worst of all, people were having difficulty hearing me during calls. Reflashing seems to have worked perfectly this time. *knock on wood*
FYI: The last flashes I did, I used .tot files to flash back to stock Jelly Bean and then updated to Kitkat via OTA.

I stumbled across this post and tried that fix. I'll check back in later to see what it does.
I have some battery problems with my ASUS phone. It spends so much energy without any reason. I have tried to change OTA ( 2.17.40.12 [no root] and 2.13.40.13 [root] ) a couple of times but still nothing. Even when I try to reset factory settings, I have no results. Another wrong indication is that it shows wifi on, but I have it off. I don't use the device at all, but I see the battery goes down 3% every 10 minutes.
plz help me
Same problem with me. I can't figure out what's causing all the battery drain and the phone heats up a lot. I have used other phones before with all bt, wifi, data on all day I have no issues with them. Only with this phone. I can only get a 4-5 hours usage time. charging takes up to 3 hours?
Anyone can clarify this? I have the Ze551ML Asus_Z00AD version 1.8ghz, 4gb ram, 32gb internal. I don't have the fast charger either
Try going into the WiFi settings to see if WiFi scanning is on. That has been known to drain battery
It's a native 5.0 problem. I'm sure everyone has this problem right now. We just have to wait for an OTA...
Best now, is that you use amplify, Greenify, and servicely to minimize wakelock

Having "Android OS" as the top consumer isn't a native Lollipop issue. I haven't seen it jump so high on my Nexus 4, which I have left on an older version of 5.0 from last year. When 5.0 was 1st ported to the G2 some kernel changes later fixed Android OS, so I believe Asus can fix a problem that was fixed by non-professionals.
Wi-Fi should also perform better too, looks like Asus' engineers have a lot of work awaiting them. Too bad for them b/c when that ZenPad and selfie release things will get worse.
"I'd Totally Hug You, If That Was Something I Did"
I had battery problems too upon purchasing, then i suddenly thought to cycle the battery, charge it up then let it drain without using it until it turns off and then charge it up until full while turned off. My battery now is much better
Mine was great until the most recent OTA. It installed on 05/31, I don't have the phone with me to see what the build number is, but I am now experiencing the battery drain. Before this OTA I would have 50-60% battery left at the end of the day, last night it died well before then.

Tks
I tried to clear my cache hoping it would help with the battery drain. I wasn't patient and thought the phone froze while clearing the cache and restarted it. I've now read that it can take 10 minutes to clear. When it restarted it was the flashing dead android. I was able to fastboot erase cache (took a couple of seconds) and It was good to go. I went ahead and did a factory reset. My NFC didn't seem to be working, so I wanted to see if that would fix it. It may still not be working. My phone now has much better battery life. It has been downloading and installing apps for three hours now (slow internet loading ~65 apps), and I have been setting up my home screen. It is at 90%. Doing much better, like it was before.
I'm on Z00A-2.17.40.12_2050515
Tl;dr: a complete wipe helped with my battery after the most recent OTA.

My battery lasts four hours without even using the phone. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get something that is even usable. THIS is ridiculous.

So non-root performs better?
I don't think so. My wife also now has a Zenfone 2. Same model as mine, the 4gb ram 64gb model, also has the most recent OTA. Hers is non-rooted as well and has the battery drain, but only if the wifi is on. We tried a factory reset and clearing the cache. It didn't help.

Actually, it is. It has to do with play services. Good for your nexus 4 but read up on the forums. It's an android issue. Every ROM I've used for my HTC one has it, gpe, aosp, sense.
Had a nexus 5 and It sounds like that native 5.0 lolly pop issue, where it as constantly scanning for 5HZ Frequency, you could try and lock it in to 2.4GHZ setting under WiFi advanced. See if that helps.
Root the phone and delete the crap with titanium backup. I did this on the latetest update and battery is better then my Samsung s5. Turn screen from auto to quarter of the way. I have WiFi and my data is with wind mobile in Canada so it is always looking for signal. Take a look at battery from today. Been off charger since 5am til 10pm.

My battery suddenly started draining rapidly earlier today. I normally get through a full day after charging overnight, but today the battery was down to 15% after 8 hours with the same amount of use as I do normally.
I let it die out completely since I didn't have my charger with me, then did a full charge once I got home. I took it off the charger and within 3 hours it is back down to 15% again. I have barely even turned the screen on except to check a few incoming messages.
I have just done a cache wipe in the hopes that it will fix itself. Is there anything else I could try? I'm completely baffled.
Well, i was facing same thing untill i did few tweaking like-
1. Go in auto start manager and ****ing close every useless social app(FB) they will suck it up
2. Choose power saver mode u like or use customized one
3. Do not use live wallpapers, well i use to change my wallpaper randomly every 30 minutes
4. Delete useless apps and pray to god that ur battery works like it used to
5. If you wont mind using any custom rom, then install echoe rom its based on stock rom nothings changed much except better battery and performance , i have used it and its awesome i totally recommend it

Thanks for those tips. I have all of that set up already. Custom power saver profile, all unnecessary apps removed or disabled, including auto start manager.
I have not rooted my device, only had it a month so I want to preserve warranty status.
I waited a couple of days to see if the battery would sort itself out, and it did.
Battery life has actually now improved slightly from what it was before the random drain happened.
So my battery on my phone seems to suck... I just made a full wipe clean install of ICE Rom 3.5.0 with cleanslate kernel, balanced pnp profile v. 22, magisk root and got a whooping battery loss of around 30 percent overnight!
I was using stock before and had around 20 battery loss overnight, which sucks and is the reason i wanted to try a custom rom.
My phone is already 4 months old and I did a battery diagnosis, which ended with 94 percent (which is good right?).
Can anyone please help me?
I don't have Facebook or Facebook messenger installed, turned of WiFi and Bluetooth Scan and Location Services.
And I'm using Greenify, although I didn't greenify any apps yet

What email app are you using? How have you got it synced? See how many times it wakes your device using Gsam or some similar app. This was my battery drainer (I use Bluemail). Anyway, check that out first.
20% battery loss overnight is horrible. Something is not set up correctly or is misbehaving.
Reboot your device and let it set for 2 minutes. Now go to System/Settings/Developer options and select Running Services. Everything look OK there?
I cant see your screenshot.

20% battery loss overnight is horrible. Something is not set up correctly or is misbehaving.
Reboot your device and let it set for 2 minutes. Now go to System/Settings/Developer options and select Running Services. Everything look OK there?
I cant see your screenshot.

Yes, I lost the same amount although I had the phone in flight AND extreme energy saver mode...
I'm facing the same problem after i updated my Firmware to 2.28.617.6. My Battery Usage show 45% of ANDROID OS an 39% of ANDROID SYSTEM, I'm already tried Viper 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 5, 5.1, all with the same problem.
I updated firmware using RUU.exe, and i already updated firmware again to 2.41.401.3 with RUU again. Same problem
I realized the problem is not with rom, all of then, stock or custom, show the same situation. Its a firmware problem with Nougat
My phone is a Unlocked version, with S-ON
Any help?
I would perform a full wipe (+data!). Reinstall your Rom freshly, and the problem should be gone.

I'm already did that, all ROM's installs i did with a clean install.
With no one third app installed, the problem persists
i'm already tested turn of wifi, bluetooth, location, put phone on save battery mode, restart all permissions
Nothing helped
The main question is thats something who did not let phone enter in deep sleep
Yeah I've got the same problem with Android OS and Android System (the wakelocks are HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK) keeping the phone awake and preventing deep sleep almost 100% of the time, which is absolutely killing my battery life.
Frustratingly, the problem is not solved with a full wipe + reflash of any ROM. I originally had the problem sometime after the stock 7.0 OTA upgrade, at which point I unlocked the boot loader, flashed Maximus HD, then the problem went away for about a month until just returning a couple days ago. I've tried flashing the latest Maximus HD, Viper, but nothing is fixing it so far.
I bet it's some kind of hardware issue. I'm almost at the point of giving up and getting a OnePlus 3.
Just sharing my experience: I tried every Sense-based ROM I could find, problem of phone not going to sleep persisted. Even tried RUU to latest 2.41.617.3, which of course wipes absolutely everything - same problem, phone not going to sleep. As last ditch attempt, flashed the LineageOS Jan 28th nightly, and the problem is gone. Phone sleeping properly and battery life is back to normal. Not sure if coincidence or what... Going to stay on Lineage for a while as it works pretty well, but will go back and try Sense again in a couple weeks maybe.
This issue started to affect my phone while still on Marshmallow, around 3 weeks ago. It felt like it started after updating an app. This is what prompted me to update to Nougat. However, the issue persisted, even with full wipes, and even with LineageOS installed.
Moving from stock ROM to LineageOS has reduced battery drain from 10% per hour, to 5%.
Airplane mode and battery saver mode makes no difference to the drain. Neither does any WiFi and GPS setting changes - I have already read about a few possible "causes".
Perhaps the only option is S-OFF and re-flash all partitions of the phone?

Running a RUU would be your best option. This will wipe the phone and restore the stock ROM (system, firmware, etc).
Have you looked at wakelocks or app usage to see if there is any unusually high usages? I had a problem with my 10 awhile back that ended up being a particular version of Google Play Services. Usually these issues can be traced to a particular app or setting, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.
Ohio wake_lock and no deep sleep. Same issue after reflash ruu, lineage, viper... on all roms same issue and no deep sleep. I think it's hardware issue. I try to flash elementalx kernel and it fixed problem for a day, one day only. Worst phone ever for me.

So my battery on my phone seems to suck... I just made a full wipe clean install of ICE Rom 3.5.0 with cleanslate kernel, balanced pnp profile v. 22, magisk root and got a whooping battery loss of around 30 percent overnight!
I was using stock before and had around 20 battery loss overnight, which sucks and is the reason i wanted to try a custom rom.
My phone is already 4 months old and I did a battery diagnosis, which ended with 94 percent (which is good right?

How do you make a battery diagnosis?
Hi, since about a month I've been having the same issue, the kernel HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK wakelocks are keeping the CPU in use and consuming the battery charge at a rate of about 10%/hour. Has anybody got any new info on this? I read of someone that claims of having fixed it by cleaning the usb-c port, but in my case it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Guys,
i need some help. Over the last two days, my battery has just gone. The attached screenshots are from earlier this morning. I'm really not sure what's causing this. I lost 11% in under an hour and my phone was telling me it has 4 hours of battery left. I haven't installed anything new in the last two days.
I've tried using better battery stats in the past. I'm not sure how these apps work. I noticed my cell service isn't that good but I'm at home, always on WiFi. Can someone point me in the right direction? This phone is not even two months old.
Thanks in advance.
I highly advise you to turn aeroplane mode on and enable WiFi calling if you have it. It saves so much battery! This is whilst your indoors of course. Keep your brightness below 40, disables location when you don't need, disable auto update and sync behavours, disable NFC and Bluetooth if not being used. Disable animations via developer menu.
Your screenshots don't seem to show how much battery Android OS is using and there's nothing battery draining in what you did include, so I don't know that anyone can really do a lot to help you beyond offering very general suggestions.
What Rom or version of Android are you running? If you are running stock did a monthly OTA update install recently? It is that time of the month.
It's possible you have a rogue app but there's nothing showing up in your screenshots. It's possible that Google, Facebook or some other app is getting sync errors. Where you would check for that would depend on what OS you are running.
You could contact Pixel Support but my guess is that they would have you try a factory reset, which might be your best course of action based on the limited information you have provided.
My battery percentage currently shows 61% 1 day and 7 hours left, so you definitely have something wrong.
I would personally start with a factory reset. You could also run the phone in safe mode for a while and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't then the issue is likely a third party app.
When I had my battery issues, I factory reset and just ran stock for a couple days. It turned out I had to RMA it due to a bad battery. Phone was dying between 20-60%. I would barely get 1 hr SOT

Your screen was on for the majority of that time. And that 4 hours left means at the current rate you're going you'll only get another 4 hours. That is nothing more than an estimate and it will change all throughout the day based on you're use. Try letting you're battery drain all the way to zero 3 times. This should calibrate the battery. Try monitoring it after that.
And a side note. Use you're web browser for Facebook. The Facebook app has been a known battery destroyer forever.

I:m running Pure Nexus ROM with the Elemental kernel.
Thanks for all the responses everyone. I will try to drain my battery and see if that helps.
I had this problem. I went in and disabled all of my Google apps. I then went back and re updated them in the Play store After that I did a restart and I haven't had one since. I also recommend not having a battery case as both the Mophie and ZeroLemon both caused huge wakelocks for me. Cheers. ?
