When I go to battery usage, at the bottom only Android System is listed with 100% usage which is impossible. I want to check screen on time but I cant because it won't show Screen in there.
Also, Android System shows a HUGE number like 374738472819486937163 mAg usage.....
Been like this since i got it 2 days ago even when I tried reboots.
I tried 1 more reboot and it fixed itself. Odd....

Hey all, I don't know if anyone has even noticed on their Evo's but on mine, the Android system usually eats most of the battery. I noticed there is a ton of processes under Android system that are running compared to like five on my Hero. I've never seen the core system processes take up more than maybe 15% of the battery, but right now, I'm at like 41% with 16m 6s of CPU total and 47s of CPU foreground. If anyone knows why this is or a way to fix it, please let me know. I'm on the first MR update. I've been able to get a lot of battery stuff figured out, if I can get the system to calm down, then I should be able to get even better battery life than my Hero.
I'm seeing the same thing, android system is at 96% battery use after letting the phone sit overnight. Never saw that on my nexus, this is strange.
Could be related to the fact that everything is syncing up, I just activated last night too.

Yeah, the system seems to have calmed down a bit today, though I also have the OC widget running to keep the processor lower during sleep. I'm guessing its helping, but I'm not sure if there is something else to get it down. I almost never even saw the System show up in usage on my Hero, now its one of the top contributers. I got used to having custom roms on the Hero, but so far all I need on the Evo is unrevoked. I know a lot of people around here don't like it, but I found I only needed a couple of apps that require root and so far love it. That OC widget really comes in handy.
maybe i can clear things up a little bit for you guys...what you see in the battery use section is distributed across 100% of the time since you last had it plugged in. if you notice all the percentage numbers add up to 100%.
if you plug your phone in and turn it on and off on you will see that android system is probably around the 90's thats because android system has used 90+ percent of the phone since you plugged it in....over time that number will lower, becuase other things will start using the battery power... what you see is a percentage based on time. not based on whats actually working RIGHT THEN AND THERE do you guys understand?
I too am having that problem and at 15% battery life warning - it still shows my Android system @ 40-44% usage after 8hrs of work.
I mostly text message all day long due to work - make phone calls and recieve calls from work every hour. GPS on for no more than 15min all day long to get direction when my keymap book doesnt help.
4g off, bluetooth off, background data 15 min only (gps) than off, gps off when not in use, mobile network (3g) off when not in use.
I would have figured my screen being on would have drained my battery life since I check text message every 10-15mins for 8hrs...
So went to work at 9am, 100% life
got off work 6pm, 25% life
I've done all the tricks, cdma only, force stopped a bunch of apps, goggle talk off, sync off, making sure maps/gps has been closed (forced or not)
still disappointed with battery life.
Unrooted Evo
My crappy AT&T Razr lasts me 2-3days with text message + call + 1.5hr of playing Bejeweled a day
*facepalm* you guys don't get it....

check your hardware version there is a thread about different types of evos and it seems like everyone who has the hardware revision 0001 has really bad battery life. i would exchange your device.
Yes we know, Freelancerx, or at least I do. But after over 8 hours and the system is still using more of the battery than anything else is a little disturbing. Never seen that on any other device. I have Hardware 0002.
I have this same issue with hardware version 0002. I run Fresh 1.0.1, i use Netarchy-toastmod kernal, have latest radio. I have also tried Damage Control (did get slightly better battery life out of DC but not amazingly different)
after 7 hrs since unplugged my andriod system is at 39%, cell standby 28% phone idle 20% display 9%.
i dont have bluetooth, wifi or 4g on. I use juicedefender+ultimate to turn off apn when screen is not on. I use set CPU to underclock when i am unplugged and go down to 128 when screen off and i am Stilll lucky if i make it all day with moderate usage.
Every day it is the same andrioid system is around 40% of the usage for the time it was unpluged.
the following is listed under included packages (not sure if this shows the same for everyone or if it shows what packages are running)
BRCMBluetoothService - Bluetooth is not on so if it shows packages running this may be an issue
Sync Feeds - I have all android syncs off and mail at 6 hours
settings storage
Rosie Utility
Acounts & syync
Account and sync settings
settings
HTC Widget Download Manager
Network Location
Setup
HTC Checkin service
Checkin serivce
VPN services
Android system
Wonder if there is something to the android system on these (ie something not turning off that should) or if we are all just crazy and happen to get the same results.
I had a hardware 0002 model and often experienced the same thing with high system % usage.
My phone was replaced, due to a screen issue, and now I have the 0003 model and seems system % is much lower so far.
I haven't installed any system update yet, so I am on the first original release rom (not rooted yet).
Going to be testing it for a few days before I update and root, so I can make a fair comparison between the original and current oem's.
If your phone is on....Android system is being used.

I think everyone here understands this. the question i think we are trying to figure out is why with similar usage and configurations some people get 40-60% android systems usage while others get 10% over the same period of time.
Android system is way too high.

Yes but if it is configured in an optimal way then android system is always beneath cell standby and phone idle.
For example, today after 15h 28m 23s since unplugged I have...
Cell stanby 38%
Phone idle 37%
Android System.....12%
That is with background processing with auto syncing every hour or so.
I've got a huge problem with my Desire HD that just drives me crazy and still I don't know what to do about it - googled for hours, haven't found anything but unfinished threads.
It started a while ago, I had a ICS - Aokp installed. Some day, WiFi turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it either remained in the "Turning WiFi on..."-state or gave me an "WiFi Error". Also, the whole OS slowed down terrible.
I installed a 2.3.7 Sense ROM. Worked for a few days, I think. Then one time, the phone froze and after reboot, the WiFi Error occured again.
Switched to Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0. Worked fine for maybe a day, froze, same error. And worst of all, it slew down more than before. Example: Unlocking Screen -> (3 Seconds) -> Displays GUI -> Whatsapp Link -> 10+ Seconds -> displays WhatsApp - but that's not even the end, try to enter text when it displays 1 sign per second. You finish typing, wait 15 seconds to hit the "send"-button.
2 hours ago i installed JellyBean (4.1.1). Without it freezing, WiFi just turned off an won't turn on again. I rebooted, while bootanimation, it froze. I took out the battery, rebooted - it doesn't run as smooth as it did before and WiFi still won't work again. I think in the next 14 days it will slow down again like it did before. It's like there would be processes in the background that need the entire CPU power, but anyway i monitored CPU usage using SystemPanel. There was no CPU usage recorded. I killed apps, no difference. I also intended to monitor the CPU speed, but it wasn't possible with the previous kernel.
Do you have any suggestions, what i could do? Right now, i just want to smash my phone.. it's not dependable. Sometimes my phone rings but won't turn on the screen cause of the stability problems .. I am through so many Android versions, I'm just tired of installing new roms every 2 weeks so i can still use my phone.
I've used 40% of my battery, with 15 apps open. But, the screen doesn't show any of those apps. I mean, Android OS isn't even there!
This weird lack of battery usage happens every once in a while, but I don't know exactly what causes it. Usually, it's has a dozen or so entries. Any ideas?
Hey, about 2 weeks ago I noticed weird behavior from my battery.
When phone is locked battery drain is too fast.
It seems that the "android system" keep the phone awake for long periods,
And that the "android os" keep using the cpu.
I've been trying many thing - wifi, location, sync etc but nothing helped.
Used system panel to monitor my battery life,
Here are the results from the last 8 hours (100% at morning till now)
Attached photos - Overall battery usage, Screen on, Android System, Android OS, System Panel and More detailed system processes,
In the first 3 system processes there is high cpu usage even when screen is off..
(Top one, System, attached)
I know the overall battery using seems to be good,
But it's only because I've been using the phone the whole day.
The problem is when I'm not using it - it drain very fast with no reason.
I don't remember any change I've done (didn't update the software, maybe an app),
And before that the battery life was great (and so they are now if I'm using the phone continuously without "putting it in my pocket".)
Any help?
I have a brand new lg g3 d855 successfully updated to lollipop. The reason is still unknown i was having the same problem. But then in a video at youtube i saw an app known as "qualcommn snapdragon guru" download it use its feature to stop apps and all that stuff and battery will be very improved.
Well if i look at your screenshot i could say it was normal, the one that draining your battery is your screen (based on your ss). But in other way you can download some apps to control your kernel (e.g kernel auditor) and swipe to "kernel samepage merging" tab, look if its on or off, if on just turn it off and see your battery life then, it happen to me sometimes.
I´ll cut right to the chase: I bought an lg g3 used, so far loving the device but I´m getting intense battery drainage when phone is in use. It´s a d855, fulmics 5.3 and xceed kernel underclocked at 1.5. I also have greenify, powernap, naptime and amplify installed and configured so stand-by time is great, if not awesome! My only issue is this: as soon as i start using the device (listening to spotify, browsing, texting etc, i can literally see the 1% dropping almost by the minute! I only manage 1-2hours SOT and i have BBS & Gsam installed, both don´t seem to show ANYTHING out of the ordinary, i can post screenshots if necessary but i honestly don´t see anything wrong... On occasion if device is rebooted 2-3 times in a row it might lose up to 40% in one go and then just hang there for a while so as to catch up... Despite this phone charging really quickly, it is not enough. I should be able to hold at least a semi-decent charge right?! Also occasionally if in standby for an extended period the batrry gauge might go up by up to 6%.. I live in finland so getting a new battery might be a bit of an issue (really expensive, if i can even find it) Unplugged today at 7:40 amd now at 12:24 I have 44% left with minimal browsing, no games just texting and listening to Spotify (downloaded playlist, not non-stop maybe 45min). I should note that I bought this phone used and it used to have random reboots until rooting and custom rom with everything set up, no more random reboots really... Could this still be a battery issue even though all apps show that battery health is good?
If your device is rooted, one way to get information would be to open a terminal window, (requires BusyBox) and enter the command "top". This runs the 'top' utility which gives real-time data regarding system load. While running the utility, there are single letter commands available to sort the display list of processes in different orders such as by highest load. At the top of the display is a summary of data, one of which is total system load. A high number near 100% would be abnormal except for very short period of time. If it stays up near 100%, then you can start looking deeper to find out what the problem process might be.
Most likely, you just have a battery that is near end of its life cycle.

If ur using xceed kernel dont use xposed and battery saving apps its already mentioned by kari zeroblade the dev ...also u need to use the 4v beta version of the kernel for MM which is the latest not mentioned on his site check the thread ...also try replacing the stock battery..n try going back to stock as well
