My watch has lost 50% battery in the last hour because the stupid screen keeps turning on while I'm typing. I'm not even raising my wrist to look at it, and I turned off tilt to wake, and it's STILL turning on, wasting battery life. WTF?
Try changing the watchface. I encountered the same behavior using UsTwo watchfaces, and it stopped once I switched back to Fiore.
Mine has been doing the same thing!! I've had it on since about 7AM, and it had 9% left about 10 minutes ago. (10:40AM) I've been repeatedly pressing the button to turn the screen off, then I look and it's on again. Charging now, and up to 21%. IDK what's causing it either, I haven't installed anything new in the last few days. If I didn't have an extra charger on my desk at work it'd be dead. I'll try switching faces, although I've had the same one for weeks and it never did this before

I unpaired and reset the watch... unfortunately, it's still draining the battery ridiculously fast. And now it's not charging right. I've left it on the dock all day only to find that it's at 86% by the end of the day. I put it on last night, at 86%. When I woke up this morning, it was dead. It used to be that even when I was using it for Sleep as Android (which uses the watch as a sensor for movement and heart rate), that it'd only use about 40% overnight. Nowadays, even when I go to bed with a full charge, it'd be dead in the morning.
I have been getting this too the last couple days. Resetting and or just rebooting solves it for a brief period, but the issue invariably returns. The screen doesn't time out for me either - I have to cover it or press the button to turn it off. I have uninstalled several apps and removed my screen protector to no avail.
Have you checked if any app updated? I got an update for the google services (and a few others), apparently since then the timeout settings don't work anymore.

I don't know. I've reset the watch a few days ago, and it's still acting odd. It dies within a hour or two on a full charge, and it's hot while charging, most of the time it doesn't go higher than 85+. I'm starting to think I need to send it in to Motorola. I doubt they'll fix it without a deposit though.

Which version of Android Wear is installed? I had this behavior after the first OS update, the 3rd one (and a reset) helped.

So I think my issues started on the 14th of July, when it looks like the clock app was updated. I am going to try and find an older version of the clock apk and try and revert to that.

Oh yes, this one was updated too! Seems that this is the one to blame
Edit: I use a Wileyfox Swift, and apparently there were two clock apps installed. I have deleted the new one (4.5) and my watch made a "downgrade" to 4.3 (same version on my phone now).
Odd, I think that's around the time that I installed 4.5.1 from APKmirror.
Yeah. FWIW, my watch has been behaving itself just fine after I "downgraded" the clock app to a pre-4.5.1 version. Knock on wood.
I downgraded the Clock app back to 4.4 yesterday, and since then, both my watch and my phone have been behaving normally again. Before, my phone would drain within mere hours, and my watch acted similar. My watch actually lasted through the night (I used Sleep as Android, which uses the watch to monitor movement and body stats).

It would seem that after I installed the AT&T update to dumb down thr search on my phone, my battery life has been terrible. Yesterday it was down to about 30% after only 4 hours of light use with the processes "Android OS" and "Cell Standby" taking up the most battery. I can't even get through the day with this phone. Some help would be much appreciated.
After any update, give it a couple days to level out. Until then, just carry an extra charger and plug in when you can.
The update was installed at least a week ago.
In that case, backup everything and do a factory reset when you have a fully charged battery.
Alright I'll give it a shot. I needed to do that anyway as my clipboard no longer works and consistently crashes. :/
I did a factory reset a few weeks ago and that solved it for me.
Do you have any specific methods for backing up a phone that isn't rooted? I've got nova backed up, but I would like to make sure everything else is too.

Are you receiving push email? that was the major drainer for me. apparently the android email app has a bug.
Regarding clipboard...delete everything in data/clipboard; force close the 'test service' app and then restart your phone

The best method would be to use titanium backup but since your not rooted I don't know what options you have except to use the google backup but that ain't to good since its only app data.

Hi all,
Since getting the phone from day one, I really never had a problem with the battery. Lately however, I've noticed a significant drain in battery over night. I tested the drain a few times over several nights, and even put my phone into "airplane" mode to help save battery.
Below are my results from going to sleep at 1:30am with 100% battery power and in airplane mode and waking up at 9:30am the next morning. I get a 12% decrease in battery over night for doing nothing over the course of 8 hours.
The only thing I've noticed differently is that Chrome is starting to use battery which is odd because I rarely use Chrome to begin with.
Any ideas to help this? What should I do?

Not sure if it's the same issue, but I had some problems with battery life in Chrome until I disabled Tilt Scrolling under Developer Options in the Chrome menu.
my battery life is great even after the update

Are you using Songza? It has big problems right now with battery drain. The deal is, is probably not the device. There is an app that is causing your issue.

The tab yesterday got from 30% to complete 0% with everything off (aeroplane mode, sync off etc.) just laying on the desk.
In settings its shows that battery is drained only by Android process.
I was thinking about what might be the cause and just realised that it started to happen just affter purchase of original samsung case for this tab. Is it possible that it had impact on one of the processes? Cause CPU is active almost all the time despite neither app running in the background... Maybe it's due to the magnetic thingy which wakes the screen?

If the magnet is turning the tablet on, the screen would be on, and you can see that even with the cover of the case closed. So if you can see the screen if off, then I would say no, the magnet is not causing your drain problem.
Do you have Skype installed? This is a known battery drain problem on Kitkat as well. Its a bug within Kitkat itself, so maybe that is why its being reported as the Android process, and not one of your apps.
take a screenshot of you battery

I also have never seen such a huge battery drain on any samsung or android device. For once, if you dont need it, go into settings and location services. Just disable it completly with that switch. This reduces the drain a lot, but is still way to high...
For me, it drains about 20% overnight with location on (completly offline) and about 10% without location services.
I have the same problem as well. It will continuously drain from 90-50 in minutes and then 50-15 and so on. 1% sometimes lasts for 30 minutes+ and when I restart it will be 15+% again. I thought it might be because of custom roms so I reset it back to stock many times and same problem. The only apps I have installed are adobe reader and es file manager.

boy, you're digging out a two year old thread!!
if you have such a battery drain you have different (unsatisfying) choices:
1. try battery calibration or other roms
2. throw you tab away + buy a new one
3. buy a new battery
4. accept it (like me)
5. wait until someone brings an awesome new rom which will give an awesome battery life
(sorry for hidden sarcasm but this tablet is just a big disappointment (for me))
I don't think you should throw away devices or buy new batteries without first analyzing what the problem could be. If you are rooted, download an app such as Wakelock Detector and BetterBatteryStats first, make sure there isn't some rogue app or process that is constantly running in the background. Also, if you are running the 8.4 (or perhaps it also works with the 10.1 / 12.1), check out the link in my signature on how to reseat your battery. Many people have found success with all kinds of battery problems.
I'm running a Note 4 rooted stock with Emotion Kernel and have been getting at least 12-15hrs battery time for as long as I can remember.
Suddenly my battery is draining crazy fast, a full charge doesn't even last 8hrs with very minimal use.
I checked in Settings>Battery and see that Voicemail and Android OS are consuming 4-5 times everything else...voicemail??? I barely get any voicemails ever!
Below is a screenshot...if anyone has a fix for this please let me know...thanks.

Let use Titanium Backup to freeze Voicemail for more free RAM and save your battery.
I think you should also consider freezing apps you rarely need.
Im having this problem today and last night as well. My phone is not going to sleep at all, and its due to voicemail. It is eating my phone alive.
Reboots, system cache clear, nothing is helping. I'm having to use greenify to put it to sleep but im unrooted and the phone is continually turning the screen on just to kill the process.

Its gotta be something from Sprint. Maybe its constantly pinging the voicemail for some reason? Is that a thing?

I read alot about the 5.1.1 killing people's batteries but I haven't had any issues until 2 days ago.
I installed Battery Doctor from the Play Store, charges the phone and can already see a huge difference...after unplugging from the charger it stayed at 100% for a good half hour-45 minutes...plus it shut killed a few apps that were sucking the juice out like crazy.
Crazy I have the M8 and can confirm the same issue. Every since the weekend my phone will not sleep and battery wears down very fast. What I did to bypass for now was reverting the vm app back a few versions. I got lucky and had a backup in titanium backup from June. Anyways, I uninstalled vm and installed backup and my phone is now back to normal.

As a temporary solution I went into the app settings for voicemail, deleted all the data (not sure if necessary and WILL delete your saved voicemails), uninstalled the updates, turned off notifications, and then restarted my phone. You will NOT be able to use the visual voicemail after doing this because as soon as you try to open the app it will prompt you to reinstall the mandatory updates. I don't really take many phone calls anyway so I don't care. I'll leave it like this until Sprint fixes the issue. I'd rather have my batter life back.
Supposedly Sprint fixed the issue through a network config last night. I was having the same issues up until last night. I uninstalled the voicemail updates (although the version is still 6.0.1.22) and rebooted the phone. Today the issue is gone for me.

I never experienced any of these problems with vvm, not any excessive battery drain. But glad to see it was fixed for others.
Like a lot of people I found myself with battery woes on the G4, at first my battery was comparable to my G3, if not a little bit better but over time, and certainly since MM was released, my battery life was quite frankly awful.
Long Story
I was losing power rapidly, even when I was barely touching the phone - so I finally decided to look into it. After carefully monitoring apps, wakelocks etc nothing looked out of place, everything was working normally until I installed my old faithful app - SetCPU, this is a nice basic app that just shows what your CPU has clocked too and how long it spent there in a given timescale and one thing alarmed me greatly. I was getting less than one minute of deep sleep in every 60 minutes the phone was running - now if I had been using the phone for 58 minutes of that hour I would expect this, only I hadn't!
I did more testing, and more testing and more testing but the results were the same, the phone barely entered deep sleep, and when it did it didn't stay there very long.
Now as I said, using all the other apps, and android stats, nothing looked particularly out of place and after a few days of trying everything under the sun to fix the problem I decided to go nuclear. I wiped the phone, installed no third party apps but setcpu and began testing. I left the phone for a period of 10 minutes to see what the deep sleep value was (looking for it to be somewhere between 80 and 100% of time, which it was!) and it seemed to be back to normal, working fine. So then I started to install my core apps, one by one running the same 10 minute test between each one, idea being eventually I would hit whatever app it was that caused me problems.
So I installed upwards of 30 apps, and everything was still fine, in 10 minutes of not using my phone I was getting around 9 minutes of deep sleep, which is what you would expect.
And then came facebook, now I know there are lots of reports of facebook being a bad app blah blah blah, but I have never seen facebook react like this before, and I don't know if it was marshmallow or a mixture of marshmallow and LG - but when facebook is installed my phone stopped sleeping again, at first it wasn't a huge change, but was noticeable it dropped to deep sleeping at about the 40% mark so I had 4 minutes deep sleep in my 10 minute test - force closing facebook made no difference, I tested it again and again, rebooted and again - same results.
I then installed facebook messenger, and my deep sleep dropped again, to about 20%.
I then uninstalled messenger - no change.
I then rebooted - back to 40%
I then removed facebook - no change
I then rebooted - back to 80+ %.
TLDR: The "Solution"
Now for some of you this won't be a solution as you will claim you need the apps, but there are third party alternatives out there that work pretty well without causing this issue.
Facebook (and facebook messenger) on stock MM builds (at least on the G4) causes the phone to hardly ever enter "deep sleep", this means it is always running a CPU clock, albeit the lowest setting, but it consumes far more power than it needs too especially when the phone is not in use.
After removing them my phone is now sleeping fine and my battery life is back to being very good - lost 4% in the last 8 hours (albeit idle, I was asleep), which is much better than losing 4% an hour that I was before facebook was removed.
Go give it a try, install setcpu, reset the timer close go back to your home screen then leave your phone for 10 minutes then check your deep sleep values, then try it after removing facebook (and rebooting).
Let me know how you get on.

I was having these issues too after upgrading to MM. My battery life was appalling and Facebook was keeping the phone awake for hours at a time. I simply did a full factory reset, and then restored my phone from the most recent backup. My battery life is now excellent, even with Facebook and Messenger installed
There was a wakelock introduced with the new version of facebook about a week ago not sure if it is still relevant. It goes by the name of bugreporting service. Something like that. The same goes with FB messenger. I got pissed off with the official app because of this and got Metal instead
I don't run Facebook (never have) or any messaging other than Hangouts and battery is always great (2-3 days). If you don't need it...uninstall it.
Kindle app was always a great one for running constantly in the background for no reason. So I bought an actual Kindle and didn't use the app.
I totally agree with the OP, I started having the exact issues after I updated to the latest facebook and messenger apps and my phone was entering deep sleep at all. I removed them last night and its much much better now.
My girlfriend's g3 with mm gets this message lots of time

Until a few weeks ago, the Facebook app had a setting where you could choose the sync frequency and I was able to set mine to every 4 hours.
This setting appears to have disappeared now. Could this be the problem?
Nope. It's not the solution. I uninstalled Facebook but am barely getting 2+ hours of screen-on time on v20b.
A Redditor mentioned that some process called 'logd' is eating up resources and killing battery life. I used Terminal Emulator to verify it.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
logd is a separate issue that no one has quite worked out what is causing it - it is to do with error reporting, either from LG or Google apps.
That redditor here. Logd isn't actually logging anything when its CPU usage hits 16% (the problem). You can verify by running logcat in adb shell while watching cpu usage in terminal emulator on phone.
I removed logd by renaming the binary, it's over doubled by SOT from 1-2h to 4+h. As this is my first post on xda I can't link the thread I made on reddit about it -- but you'll find it on /r/lgg4 on the first page ("PSA: How to fix 6.0 / marshmallow logd battery drain (TWRP/root)")

about 5% lost per night
WiFi always on, whatsup, maildroid checking one imap mailbox for every 120 mins (set to wake up the phone), ok google OFF, now cards OFF, backup-ing OFF. Steady about 5% (4-6%) per night.
Now, I flashed factory image 7.0.0. everything stock. Then I flashed boot.img with disabled encryption and formated data and cache. Everything is as it is described above expect for the maildroid has NOT been even installed yet.
And that's what I get second night in a row (rebooted, cache wiped from recovery mode before leaving the phone):
23% eaten for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
What even worse, even android itself does not know what it was doing that it ate so much battery because the percentages does not add up for the whole drain.
After so many time invested into this phone for getting pure stock 7.0 unencrypted I just feel exhausted and want to throw this phone out of the window.
I'd appreciate a right direction for figuring out what drains the battery.
Yeah battery blows with nougat. Significant Google play services drain mainly bet scheduler. Had somewhat similar with MM but was able to really calm it down with Power Nap, bit since Xposed is not out yet for N....I'm nandroiding back to MM too.

I downgraded to MM, and it became normal. The next day I missed the quick switching between the last two opened apps and I flashed N again))
Actually, this night it drained 8% what is kinda OK. What I additionally did was that I disabled under google account sync everything except for the contacts and calendar. Also I activated data saver and added only whatsup there. Wifi was on all night, but he phone did not seem to be waking up during the night at all, what is good because I didn't need it to be doing anything except for idling in case someone calls for emergency. So, I guess after some hard tweaking and disabling things I can cope with N, but mostly for the sake of awesome interface features.

Just give it sometime...things are settling in...so a lot of time play services and stuff also go crazy...also apps are getting updated as well...give it a week or so...things will be better
I had this sort of issue on DP5 after a while but clean flashing MM stock and then re-OTAing to N seemed to fix it for me and I'm back at 5-6% overnight.
I honestly think there is a bug in there somewhere, whether its Google services or what i've no idea as my battery stats didn't seem to add up to the drain I was seeing. I had a similar weird drain before on MM too which a wipe sorted out.
give the system some time to settle in. i upgraded to N the day it came out and after giving android a few days i recognize no major difference in performance or battery life, even though things like Force Doze are incompatible now.
Sorry for off topic
How did you get that icon to the left of alarm icon in status bar (circular arc with + sign in the center)?
Thanks in advanced

That's a new data saver feature being turned on. Setting -> Data usage -> Data Saver option there
I went back to MM not because of the idle drain, infact, I had no drain but the SOT sucks... Like 2-3 hours instead of 4-5 on MM. Maybe I'll wakt until Xposed it compatible again...
Hi, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I posted about an issue with the screen, which is battery related as well. Actually when idle I have almost no battery drain (up to 2% per night). Could you take a look at this thread regarding the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-android-7-screen-battery-usage-t3463591
I have screenshots prepared (even worse than what I've already described), but as already mentioned I don't have enough posts in order to be able to post them here.
Is this an issue with the screen, battery or OS? The device is new with the OTA Nougat update.
How exactly did you downgrade to Marshmallow? I'd like to know because my 5X drains battery like crazy without doing anything on 7.0

Did that too but unfortunately for me it didn't fix my drain...
