I tried to use this on my Note 7 yesterday and suffered massive battery drain and device warming up. Anyone tried this app?

Heyy you can just try to clear cache from your phone just by going to settings and storage and then internal storage. And if you still have battery issues turn off your phone, go to recovery mode and wipe cache partition.. Hope this helps.

SDcard show up under battery, surprising since there is no sd card in a galaxy nexus..
Anybody know what's going wrong or how to stop the battery drain ??
I've had this exact same issue! It happened at the same time as my other issue of app sizes continuing to climb upwards and the phone getting laggier in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715363
I just resorted to a factory reset, which resolved the problem. Sorry I can't be of much help, as I still have no idea what the issue is, but it was definitely taking a noticeable toll on my battery life.

I would be concerned of what you have installed on your device, that it is calling itself sdcard.
Nexus internal sdcard is mostly named just sdcard, but this is first time i see it in battery stats. Maybe it's some bad app? Maybe you should uninstall apps one by one and see if it's go away.

Nexus does not have an internal sdcard and symlinks cannot use battery so I would say its an app.

I mean that 16gb internal storage which is called sdcard in most apps. And i know that it can't be in battery stats, that's why i said it's an app.
Same problem, a solution without having to do a factory reset?
Anyone come up with a solution here?
So I'm guessing the lack of responses in this thread (and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792361&highlight=sdcard+battery) means no one has any idea why SDcard usage would be so high?
Maybe it is not the amount of power that sd card uses, it is amount of power that the phone uses to read the sd card. If you did lots of things that needs reading from sd card, battery show that kind of information. Some program with wrong commands may couse this

Thats what I figured but there shouldnt be anything thats accessing it, especially overnight in sleep mode, the SDcard has more CPU usage time than any other app, by a landslide.
Have you looked at your running apps? (Settings>Apps>Running)
Maybe you can find out what app may be running called "sdcard".
Sounds a bit fishy. While there is no physically removable SD card, the phones internal memory is partitioned so you have some space which is recognized as the 'sdcard'.
In any case I've never seen anything like that in my battery drain, and even if there was, it definitely shouldn't be draining those amounts while the phone is idle..

I've gone through them but can't seem to figure out whats going on...i've also run logcat but that hasnt turned up any useful info either.
And when you press on sdcard under the battery usage, what screen shows up? Does it say it's an app? Could you provide a screen shot?

Here are screenshots from my battery usage, after clicking on the app, and my build info. I've got the same thing and its completely eating my battery life. This was within 1 hour of use.
This just started happening to my galaxy nexus -- no idea why?
GSAM Battery Monitor shows System (sdcard) running at 17% and its really affecting battery life, I can actually watch the number drain by the minute.
I am not looking to do a factory reset again and I am running Bugless Beast 4.1.1 rom and have been for about 2 months now and never had this problem, anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Just started happening to me today. I just installed lookout so I hope that is the problem. Just uninstalled it to see if that was the culprit.
I'm 100% certain Google Music is causing mine.
Mine always says sdcard and media are the processes running that are eating my battery.
I can reboot and fix the issue, temporarily, but as soon as I play Google Music it starts back. I'm going to clear data and cache (for Google Music only). Now that I think about it this has been happening since Google Music's last update ~1 month ago.
I'm running the latest Trinity kernel and RasBeanJelly, but this happened while on Bugless Beast as well, so it's not a kernel/ROM issue either.
It's GSam Battery Monitor, my phone drains from 100% to 95% in like 15 minutes. I found that one of the culprits was a Pansi SMS theme, and the other (the biggest one) was "Media", which drained 35% of the battery. The phone was kept awake for 7 minutes, and under included processes it says *wakelock* android.process.media.
Is there a way to stop this?

You can force stop media but that's temporally. You'll need to find which file is causing it (most likely one unreadable by your media player).
Could also be coming from your external sd card (if you have one).
Sadly sometimes the only solution is a full super wipe... did the trick for me (I needed to anyway)
Hmm...i do have an external sd card. But it's used for music video and downloads. There's no apps installed on it.
What do you mean by a super wipe? Is that different from a regular wipe? If not then I just did a cache/dalvik wipe a week ago.
How would I go about finding the file that's responsible for this?

Super wipe basically wipes everything of our internal card in other words going to TWRP and erasing data. Its basically just searching and searching on how to open the media so that's why its high.
Another option is to move all your pictures and videos and other downloads to your ext SD card. Then wipe data on the internal card and see if once you boot backup again and an hour or so of running if it isn't so high.
Hi, I updated to lollipop two days ago and I noticed the battery is draining 1% every 1-2 minutes.
It's crazy!
I checked the battery usage and the screen is causing all these problems.
The screen takes more than 50%!!
I lowered the brightness to 40% and still no improvement.
I'm really desperate and I can't just wait to lg's update and hoping they will fix this problem.
Anybody has an idea what should I do? Can I switch back to kitkat?
Have you tried a factory reset? I know it's a bit of a pain, but I had a similar problem and it's gone after I did that.

Have you tried to clear the cache in the recovery of the phone? I had the same issue as you're facing, but I managed to resolve it by clearing the cache.
If that does not resolve the issue that you're facing, try to re-install your phone using the Smart Switch software.

Are You asking to rest the phone?
Turn off the device
After you turn it off hold down the home button along with the power and volume up button./
Your device will then go into the system recovery page
use the volume rockers to scroll down to "wipe cache partition" to select the wipe cache push the power button,
after click the power button when the process is complete.
Then choose reboot system now
I would do this maybe every month or so often...
If you would like to improve battery life, consider using package dis abler pro $1.59 in the playstore
very worth it, Stock ROM and stock launcher (touchwiz) I'm averaging around 4 hours screentime with roughly 1 day and 13 hours of usage.
Cheers mate!
:good:
I am having the same issue. 40% of the app usage is system. I have disabled a lot of apps using the program you mentioned above. I have also removed Google now. I have been using my fingerprint to unlock the screen. Does the fingerprint service use a lot of battery?

battery drains quickly.in my case the screen shows the most usage.
with light usage i can get around 3-4hr
i haven't used this one roughly
What gives?? Charging my phone always seems to trigger a wakelock upon unplugging. This is usually from a combination of Android OS and Android System.
As a result, I always have to reboot my phone after unplugging in order to avoid the wakelock killing my battery early.
Interesting. Maybe Dash Charge is the cause?
Think I had the same wakelock yesterday.
Does somebody have an idea what to do? Always reboot after charging isn't the best solution I think ?

Hey I personally do not have this anymore. I BELIEVE the solution for me was to turn off the Back up my data option in Settings > Backup & reset. Also cleared cache from the stock recovery upon turning that setting off.
It may have been something funky happening when I restored my Nexus 6 backup when initially setting up the OP3.
Thank you, will try it
