Hello, I am having a a big issue on my phone's battery consumption and it's "Phone Idle". For some odd reason it uses much more than it's supposed to and I have no idea what the problem is. I searched everywhere online to resolve this issue but sadly, I haven't found any solution. I am currently on AOiSP ROM on Android 8.1. I know the ROM isn't the problem because I have installed LineageOS 14.1 and stock ROM, but the drain was still present. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you in advance.

Did you notice massive battery drain in idle?
If not your "issue" isn't a problem.
And if you had no sim cards in your phone, activate airplane mode. Unless you like higher standby drain lol :laugh:

You didn't answer my first question: Do you notice battery drain when your phone is in idle?
Or is it only your first consumer in battery stats?
How many battery you lose over night? Lets say in 5+ hours.
If you lost 5% or more, use for example wakelock detector app from playstore (the lite version with Android 8+ and you have to follow the explained steps in the APP to get it working properly) to identify which APP causes your wakelocks.

Oh, my apologies, I thought you meant if it's said in the battery usage... I only lose about 2%. So does it means I don't need to install any Wakelock detector apps?
And sorry for the late reply, I don't get any notifications.

I also have the same problem(phone idle). Did you find a solution?

my rom Cardinal-AOSP
Install BetterBatteryStats (xda version) or purchase it on google play to have better control over battery consumption. You can track what's eating your phone energy here and it will be easier for people to help you if you post some screenshots from the app.
NOTE: You need access to a computer and have adb installed because it is needed to give this app some permissions and make it work properly.
Also keep in mind that "Phone idle" battery usage in android stats will increase when you're not using your phone too much and it is running for a long time.

Guys,
Have you noticed huge battery consumption with CM 10.1 Unofficial ROM on E-980? I used to get 2 complete days on stock, but now I have to recharge my phone every night, no exception.
The biggest battery hogger is Android OS which consumes more than 50%. This is the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387499&page=1.
Please let me know if any one of you have any solution.
Thanks!

Do yourself a favor and install Better Battery Stats. Then after a day of usage look into your Kernel Wake Locks and Partial Wake Locks. That'll give you a much better idea of what's draining your battery.

Quite a few of us had battery drain issues related to baseband. If you had installed the Value Pack update prior to installing CM you'd have the baseband which causes a lot of grief. Check the 10.1 thread. @madmack posted about what baseband you should have installed to stop the deep sleep issues.
Worked!

WOW, Thanks for your tip! As you suggested, I installed the model, and my phone is back to normal in battery consumption. Thanks!
I didn't notice this earlier, but my video recording doesn't work. Photos are coming properly, but as soon as I start shooting a video, my camera hangs. Even if I close it, I can't start it again until I restart my phone.
Can someone please help me?
Hi,
I think i have a battery drain problem with my G Pad since the last firmware update (V50020d).
In 10 hours standby I loose round about 5% battery power. (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS turned off)
Before the update there was nearly no standby power consumption, maybe 1% over night.
I tried to solve the problem with a factory reset, but the problem still persists.
I havent rooted the device, so I can only use the PC Version from wakelock detector here from xda.
Maybe this screenshots could help:

Try taking our your sdcard and see if the high battery drain overnight goes away. Some folks have noticed that the sdcard is now remounting several times a night and this causes the media server to scan the card over and over again all night resulting in battery drain. If the problem goes away with the removal of the sdcard you at least know what is causing it. Then you can join us in the thread where we are trying to track down what causes the sdcard bad removals....
Ok check your battery status and see if some google services is working in the background and uses some battery

For how long it eats 21%?
The tablet uses 21% battery in round about 2,5 days standby.
I still could not solve the problem, so I rooted my G Pad with ioroot.
BetterBatteryStats sayed the problem is com.google.android.gms.
See attached screenshots for more information.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Sorry that I do not have anything to offer by ways of an answer, but in what I feel may be a relevant addition to the topic, I've found that my VK810 actually *loses* battery even while it's charging and in use. With the charger hooked up, I can see the percentage dropping steadily even during light tasks such as web browsing, albeit at a slower rate than when it's unplugged.
See this how i left it all night...
Am i the only one who is facing immense battery drain on the latest update 2.19????
When i was on 2.18, battery life was much stable for me, but ever since i got the 2.19 update, the battery drains about 10% overnight.
Sometimes, it is even large.
So i just wanted to ask whether it is just me or everyone is facing these issues???

I still hope that Asus remembers the battery bug. They have released OTA's, but they have introduced many more bugs.
From what i have read so far, the kernel is faulty. Now that we have our bootloaders unlocked, we can expect a good Dev to debug and recompile the kernel.
AOSP Android should come soon to Zenfone 2
Try clearing cache. Go to autostart manager and stop apps you don't use from starting at boot. In battery settings change your power management profile to smart saving or custom if you know what you're doing.
I keep Bluetooth, NFC, sync and location on always and don't face battery issues.
I haven't been having battery issues. I uninstalled most of the junk apps, so I wonder if you're seeing something from one of those.
Install GSam Battery Monitor and check on your app usage after a while.
on the 2.19 OTA, I left my phone idle for an hour and it drained 5% battery. Yikes!
Okay, So i got the culprit.
I have 2 Sims Installed. 1st one is a local Sim. Whereas the Second one is a Roaming one (National Roaming, not international) with a big "R" besides it.
So i just disabled the Second Roaming Sim from Dual Sim Settings, And bingo!!!. Battery drain stopped. The device seems to be constantly searching for a local network on the second sim.
Additionally, If you read the release note of the 2.19 OTA. You will see:-
7 Improve service stability
10 Improve signal bar stability for sim 2
Click to expand...

So, i guess, that Asus improved the SIm 2 slot stability, which probably is forcing my device to constantly find a stable or local network.
Now i have Manually selected my operator. Lets See! :fingers-crossed:

Same here. Though i have not Rooted. I just uninstalled the apps that were uninstallable.
Will give Gsam a shot. Ty for the App suggestion.
I too am facing the battery issues and the other thing is that sometimes just randomly the 2nd sim stops working with the message that it's not installed...
So if the analysis is that it's the apps which drain it then can someone share a debloated rom... Got the bootloader unlocked for the TWRP now might as well use it..
2.18 was rough for me. After 4 complete charges it stabilized. Updated to 2.19, rooted, bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed yesterday. 100% charge at 9pm last night. This morning at 6am it was down to 91%. Approximately 50 minutes of pandora streaming over cell data this morning and its down to 81% now. Until a fix or CM is released, I take my charger wherever I go.
Hi, does anyone know what this wakelock is and how can i stop it? As you can see the app does not see it as a big problem because of 16s time bit number of wakeups is worrying - more than 4000..
You hardly find anything about that on the internet
Yeah, i hardly found anything about it too. But i was hoping somebody was dealing with similiar wakelock.
What is that, German, or Russian, Maybe? This phone has the most phenomenal battery life I've ever experienced. Wish i could help. American version on sprint CDMA network.

Yes, Polish T-Mobile model I really do not know what to do this with this wakelock. Maybe it's because of some app ? (I have BBS installed nonroot with adb) But then again if I uninstall this app then i don't know if I solved the wakelock Did you tried factory reset DeeZZ_NuuZZ?

Probably not.
They are most of the time not responsible for the Wakelocks but the first thing that's happening After awakening.
Also EVERYONE has them! No kidding!
You can have a factory Reset phone without Google account and you won't get rid of them

Is it safe to block them in amplify? Or should I leave then untouched?
Power Nap [Xposed Module] also blocks them. But it doesn't matter. Because they do not wake the phone, they happen when the phone gets awaken by something else.
Check this out (With Power Nap enabled and What's app excluded)
As you can see, almost no Userspace Wakelocks:
As always Google Services is the only thing you simply cannot shut up, no matter what
But yeah, the Problem is on the Kernel Level....
You see a Normal Wake due to an UserSpace Wakelock:
And one that's happening due to Kernel:
So as long as you have these Kernel wakes, the BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3 will activate at the same time. Batterylife itself is not really affected.

I started getting the BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3 wakelock a few days ago, tried different kernels and factory reset and no joy getting rid of it. It is affecting my battery life big time.
My phone stays awake and is draining at 7% per hour with the screen off. Lucky to be getting 7 hours of use out of it in a day with light usage...
So basically you are saying that an app is responsible for this?
I have this SAME EXACT wakelock and problem. I have researched it endlessly with 0 luck at all. This has been an issue regardless of running marshmallow or N, a different kernel, a different ROM, etc. This wakelock on top of the 10's horrible WiFi makes my battery life absolutely terrible. If I can't fix this within 2 months (when I reach a year paid off on my payment plan) I am selling this phone and upgrading because the battery life it so intolerable. If someone could shed any light on this wakelock that would be awesome.
I have the same problem, I couldn't fine solution. Apparently is a problem only for sense rom..

Keep your WiFi turned off on your 10 and watch how much you standby drain improves lol...It's a faulty WiFi setup in the 10. I don't think it's software related either. I heard it's the physical placement of the WiFi antennae from @LeeDroid

Ever since I updated to 8.1.0 with December security patch, I've noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT with around 45-50% battery left. This was after being off the charger for 12-16 hours. Now I'm getting about half the SOT at similar numbers. Anyone have any ideas?

Excuse my stating the obvious, but you need to find what process or app is using the battery. You should be able to get a rough idea just using the new features under Settings>>Battery. It will identify which apps are using the most juice. Run the phone in Safe Mode to see if your battery life goes back to normal. It could also be a service like Google Play Service which sometimes wigs out and starts chewing battery. Are you rooted? If you need more detailed information there are battery drain apps available to help isolate the problem (BBS and GSam). These apps require root to give the best results.

Not rooted and currently locked. I've downloaded GSAM and have adb permissions and it simply says things like Chrome, RCS Phone and Play services. If you see from the photos below you can see what I'm talking about. Chrome currently isn't that bad, but yesterday and the past couple days it's been like 9% or more of the battery.

Two things: I've never seen phone or kernel use that much battery. On one page phone usage is 33 seconds, yet it used 9% ? I think RCS is running the background all the time. See if you can toggle it to not run in the background under Settings>>Apps>. High kernel I'm guessing is a kernel wakelock or multiple. You've probably loaded app(s) that are creating the problem, but you need to find out which one is causing the wakelocks. There is a wakelock detector "lite" app that doesn't need root but I don't know how well it works. I know the root version works well. Lastly, on the first screenshot with the battery, scroll to the bottom of the page and see which apps are listed there. I'd be willing to bet if you ran the phone in Safe Mode, your battery drain would disappear, meaning your user apps are causing it.

Well in safe mode my drain is gone so I'm not sure which app is doing it, but to directly answer your question about the RCS it is an overall app meaning it is related to several Google play services. I'll upload a photo of it. I have to reboot into normal mode.
Edit: I'm wrong about that it was the play services.. I'll have to start uninstalling the apps to determine which one is draining the battery I guess.

RCS can be a real battery hog, but I don't know why. I don't have RCS on AT&T. Do you use Messages as your primary SMS? Open Settings>>Advanced and see if you can toggle off "Enhanced Features". Open properties and check if it is using battery optimization. If it is not, set Messages to battery optimization. You can always turn these back on later if the battery drain remains.
My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly). Something just felt off, but now everything feels great! I am fairly certain what changed is installing the Greenify Magisk module and/or the Google play services doze module (this enables battery optimization on the Google play services app). Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

In my experience that's really good.
Before 8.1 I noticed about 11% per hour during screen on use and about 0.33% per hour while on stand by in my pocket or a little bit better if it's just sitting on my night stand not moving while I'm sleeping (I think doze is more extreme in that situation) which seems to match what you are getting. Based on that screen shot I think that's like 8 hours screen on time over like 35 hours for a full charge. I've done a little bit better but not much. That's excellent battery life.
Since 8.1 it has dropped. Best now is maybe 7 to MAYBE 7.5 hours over maybe 26-28 hours. In my experience battery life always drops after an update but this case is far from the worst. I remember when my Nexus 5 updated from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery drop was awful and to make matters worse the battery life of the Nexus 5 was pretty bad to begin with.

So in my last reply I thought I was wrong about RCS Phone app being a conglomerate of several apps in the phone. For some reason I couldn't find the information I needed at that time. I wiped my phone and started over after posting this thread. I was trying to isolate the misbehaving app. I thought it might have been greenify actually, but no the drain has returned to a lesser extent though. Here's some photos of this RCS app from GSAM.

I'm not sure what is causing the drain at this point. I've installed Better Battery Stats to locate the wakelocks so I can ignore them through ADB.

Have you tried disabling RCS ? (Post #6). BBS is good for idle drain, active drain not so much. It's best run overnight without touching the phone for 8 hours or so. Pick the phone up in the morning and create/save a log file as quickly as possible. Post the log to the BBS thread if you need help deciphering.

I cannot disable it since it is comprised of multiple apps. You can see it in the pics on my last post.
