Has anyone else experienced high battery drain recently? System is chewing through my battery and I'm not sure why. I cleared cache and installed elemental x kernel but haven't seen a change.
If this is android 8, try going to the beta Google Play Services. I also disabled the automatically turn on wifi when in range of familiar wifi toggle. Both seemed to help me a lot.

No, this is on Pure Nexus 7.1.2.
Oh, you hadn't said so I went on the assumption that you were having this problem in 8 since a group of people were complaining about battery life on 8.

Don't you think this belongs in the pn forum? Why would you put an op like that here with no explanation of what rom or release you were on?

I've been having a problem with my phone staying awake for 6 or 7 hours at a time and draining my battery. And it seems like I'm the only one having this problem. I just want to know if anyone has been experiencing the same thing.

Do a search on the play store for wakelock apps. This should show you what is keeping your phone from deep sleep. More than likely it's something like social media that wants to be on ALL the time.

It appears to be because of kik and the sip integration. Try uninstalling kik to see if that makes a difference.

i emailed to kik's support, i can't really uninstall it as i use it on daily basis and sip integration is part of android os, so that can't be uninstalled either (but can be disabled) i'm kind of surprised it was trying to connect to sip as I thought this only works when phone is on wifi and not on mobile network...
Finally Found Battery Drain Fix
Note 2 (i317 unlocked using T-Mobile)
IOAP ROM v3.59
Latest AGNI Kernel (2.7?)
Philz Touch CWM
I switch ROMs between the IOAP and Ditto Note 3 (also w/AGNI) as my dailies. I get great battery life w/Ditto Note 3 ROM. However, on IOAP I was getting about 6-7 hours and draining fast overnight. I checked everything and GSam showed "Android OS" as the main culprit. I changed a setting to Location>Mode>Device Only. It was on "High Accuracy". Once I changed this, battery life was back to the same levels as DN3 ROM.
im getting error on the activity log when i start up this app, so im not sure if it works or not
ROM is not compatible with AOS(helper) band control is unvail. get cyanogenMod blah blah
Yeh it does that on AOKP, pa and cm10.1 so I have no answers lol

Try green power or deep sleep battery saver.

all they really do is shut your data off when the screen is off, which will save you some battery. but then you wont get any notifications from apps that use data i.e. email, Facebook, etc. or at least that's how it was last time i tried those apps like a year ago, maybe they've changed it.

The apps will sync, or should sync, depending on the interval you set the phone to sync. I have mine set every 15 minutes, it saves me around 10-15% battery life a day.
Depend on your settings I think, mine worked exceeding my expectations. I had the dreaded hot phone and literally 5 hours battery life. My last hope is to install a custom ROM and kernel and hope for the best, but I'm trying to stay stock as possible if I can help it. I have my fair share tinkering with custom ROMs with GNex and needless to say I'm done customizing (it's endless once you start!).
So I installed JDU just for the heck of it, lo and behold it actually works. I now get 12hrs with 15% left after a day worth of usage, browsing, lots of yelp, maps and navigation (travelling at the moment), pandora, fb, whatsapp, gosms, GNow and camera. Please note that I'm using the N4 for less than a week and still conditioning the battery, I use JDU for a full day today for the first time.
I realized that using JDU is only a temporary 'fix' until Google patch the battery issue. I hope to get 14-16hrs battery life without JDU on stock and rooted ROM. One can only hope eh..

Hi guys, sorry for another battery thread but I'm sure I am not alone with this.
I had disabled location services in config (totally disabled) and I was getting good battery life I think (always more than 3 h screen time ) but I noticed that some tasker profiles based on location weren't working (obvious). So today I enabled Location but only by WiFi and network (didn't check gps) and after a while I checked battery status and got this. If that is true that drain is really big ! More than battery? It doesn't make sense to me.
What do you think?

It's a relative statistic. It didn't use 37% of battery it used 37% of the battery used.
Thanks. But don't you think its high anyway?

You used 50% of your battery in almost 8 hours and you think that's high? Check your screen on statistic. Most people only get 3-4 hours of screen on for the entire life of their battery.
Perhaps unchecked currents under your Google account, that was causing battery drain for a lot of. Nexus 7 peoples

Thanks... But I checked and currents is not even associated to my Google account... But it's active... Good guess... Should I disable it?

Regardless of whether your screen was on 4 minutes or 4 hours, it should not be that high.. I don't know how to fix it though, because this happens to me on multiple roms.. My only solution is turning Google now off, but it sucks cause I used to use it a lot

That usage is good, but what would happened if I had disable "Location Services"? I would had 37% more battery! Much better!
Screen time when I took the screenshot was about 1:20h.

Yes, looks like the same happens here. And it's very strange that other people don't seem to have that problem, I really not understand.
Today I'm still testing and it's the same, Google Services uses more battery than screen, anyone who knows about electricity knows that if you are using the phone it's almost impossible.
And what is more crazy is that I'm not using GPS, it's always turned off. Locatization is only done by network and wifi.
It's obvious a bug and I hope that they fix it. I prefer not using Google Now than wasting almost 1 hour of screen time.

No you wouldn't have. At most you could potentially have 18% more battery. And that's only if the battery usage statistic is 100% accurate which is never is.
I have an HTC EVO 4g LTE and I have the same problem. I can't find a solution for it and it does it even if I turn off all location, google now, google sync. I think it has something to do with google play, but I don't know for sure.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's not very common and I don't think it is caused by any one thing. It only started after the JB update btw.

I've discovered that Google services turns on even if you are in airplane mode and you have the wifi on but not connected to a network. I did a factory reset yesterday and nothing. I might have to unroot and take it in if I can't find an answer.

I kept enabled Google Now and Location service and these were the results... My battery life is good even with this drain... Stock 4.2.1 and Franco Kernel...
If I had disabled Location and Google Now I would have had (what location services drained) 30% more! More than 3:30 h of screen time.
So sorry Google ... With this drain I won't keep them enabled...
Its a shame because I used network location to turn on and off WiFi automatically when I was entering and leaving home. Will have to do it manually..

That makes sense but you can always go back. New ROMs are like
new phones. Sourcery with ak is stable and gets good batt life.
The day is about to finish and here are the final results... As predicted disabling Google now and location gave me 0:30 of screen time and more than 1 h idle.
Sad

I solved it
I had this issue with my S4. I found it was the new update of Google play service that caused this issue. The battery usage of google services came back to normal after I delete the update. However, the new hangouts requires the latest google play service.

I have noticed lately that the battery of my Galaxy Note 8 WiFi have become worse day by day. Today I started using it after charging to 100%, after 12 minutes and 27 second I am at 27% battery. Here something have to be very wrong. I am using original firmware 4.1.2.
Anyone have experienced the same using the Note 8.0?
I installed the Nexus 5 launcher and the supporting files, then I started noticing by battery usage went way up with Google Services hitting the top of the list. Had the same issue on the Note 3.
The sad thing is that the only was to clean this up was a reset, now my battery is back to normal on both devices.

Location reporting in google now kills the battery very fast.
disabling that in google's settings app fixes it, however if you are a google now user then that my not be an ideal solution.
Has anyone else got too many wakelocks on Open Beta 13? I have Franco Kernel flashed.
No wakelocks here.Phone is most of the time in deep sleep.reflash your rom.

Tried:
1. Factory reset after OTA
2. Enable Doze/Aggressive Doze, Disable WiFi/Bluetooth scanning/ Disable shelf weather/ Disable Backup
3. Reflash full zip (Clean install)
4. Flashed Franco kernel
I have the Android OS drain specifically on Mobile data. There are no wakelocks but in battery history, mobile keeps waking up frequently and the battery keeps depleting.
I am waiting for a couple of more days to see if it settles down or something.
