I've been getting over 40, sometimes over 60% android system use, which I find kind of crazy, considering I have downgraded my PRI from 1.90 to the 1.77, I've updated profile. I've ran 2 different sense roms based on the latest OTA, as well as Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1 final.....I'm running out of clues as to what would be causing this.
I doubt it's an app, as I tried flashing a sense rom and installed a very minimal amount of apps and I am still experiencing this issue.
I'm not quite sure what to try next here, is anyone suffering from a similar issue or have any other suggestions??
Thanks!
Do you leave bluetooth, gps, anything on? Trip turning your mobile days off añd let.the phone go through the däy then check your usage.

Nope, I turn off everything when I'm not using it, gps, bluetooth, even 3G are all turned off when not in use.
Not really I'm getting between 20-30% usually .

For the most part I only get really high android system usage if I'm on my phone a lot. For the most part its less than 20%. But it can approach 50 if I'm using my phone a ton.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think it may have to do with the newest OTA, or baseband update, I know that normally, most users can experience about 20% or so system usage with moderate use, but it seems I reach above 50% or so with moderate/a bit heavy use, it just seems like a bit much, and I don't remember having such an issue before.
I know some users mentioned the latest PRI messing with their phones, but I put the older one back on and it doesn't seem to have fixed it.
y
Edit: Like, for example, I just checked my android system after taking my phone off the charger, and it immediately shows as 70%, though this number will go down a bit, but even with light use, it seems to linger around 40-60% usage.
Get the Spare Parts app (it comes in CyanogenMod) and check the Partial Wake usage in Battery History. If it's showing Android System as using a lot of the partial wake, then continue on:
This was a known bug that was found and solved in CyanogenMod. What's solved it for people still having it is to use a FORMAT_ALL.zip in recovery, which formats and completely wipes the system, data, cache, and kernel (boot) partitions. I used it, and it got rid of my wake-lock.
So to review:
1) Backup via Titanium Backup or something similar.
2) Nandroid backup.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash ROM (and gapps, if applicable)
5) Boot up, check partial wake usage after a while.
6) If all good, add your accounts, but do not add any apps. Check partial wake after an hour or two.
7) Restore apps in groups (5-10 apps), rebooting then waiting 30 minutes or so between each group, checking on partial-wake usage each time.

Does this format the SD card as well? I thought i read it did, which would be a hassle. Also, you mentioned doing a nandroid back up, yet then flashing a rom, does this mean I would not want to simply restore my nandroid?

1) It will not format or wipe the SD card.
2) Nandroid backup is always done as a precautionary measure. You do not restore from it afterwards, in this case.
Yea i've been reading a lot of people with that ota has been having that problem

I just got my EVO last week so I have 3.70 and have not rooted yet. My phone has been off the charger for 7 hours and Android System is currently at 94% with Cell Standby, WiFi and Phone idle all at 2%. I had a Hero before the EVO and the Screen was what always seemed to use the most battery and its not even on the list for my EVO which I thought was very strange. I guess I need to look into the manual Root method since the others are not HBoot 2.10 and 3.7 compatible at this time.
I'm running stock 3.70 unrooted and right now Android System battery use is at 59%.
All of you with issues:
1) Download the FORMAT_ALL.zip from above.
2) Backup with Titanium Backup and Nandroid.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash your ROM
5) Via Titanium Backup, restore only user apps and their data, no system apps, system app data, or system settings! Do not restore from Nandroid.
I'm having the same issue. I'm stock UNROOTED 3.70. Is there a way to fix this for us non-rooted folks? I have been having significant battery drain and I did a factory reset and wiped everything except the SD card before the update. I do plan on roofing soon but I have the new 2.10 HBoot an hardware version 0003 and i want to make sure there is a well tested method and instructions before I attempt it. I'm no noob i've read this site daily since I got my Evo in June and I'm also an electrical engineering aka NERD but i just want to be certain before I root as this only phone I use and can't be longer than a day without it due to work. Any input here as well as on a fix for the high system use would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Let me start of by saying I am a Noob. I have been learning about the root and custom ROM process for about three weeks now. I have succesfully flashed the latest PacMan ROM and the latest SlimBean ROM. Both times I have reverted back to my Stock ROM. Everytime I flash a new ROM using TWRP, I wipe the Cache, Davlik Cache, do a Factory Reset, and Wipe the ROM. This leads me to believe I getting a clean flash, and everything seems to go smooth with the install. I have no problems with the inital boot, and it usually happens pretty quick.
I understand that each custom ROM has some great new features, but it hasn't out weighed that the battery life and speed (responsiveness) is still better on the Stock ROM. Is the reason I am seeing this is because the ROM's I have tried are 4.2.2 versus the stock 4.1.1? Is there something obvious that I am missing? If it appears that I am flashing correctly, is there a ROM that is should try the will improve me battery life and speed?
Thank you!
a full wipe also includes format /system.
how long are you using these roms before flashing back or trying a new one? the software takes a little time to settle in so if you're hopping onto a new rom every few days, you may not see the best that each rom has to offer you.

Do I format the internal memory of in TWRP? After doing some that is TWRP still functional? I have been afraid to do that because when I think of formatting it wipes everything. My thinking was the phone wouldn't operate.
Can you walk me through it in TWRP?
Thanks!

as long as your recovery is current, you have a backup (nandroid) and you have the ROM/gapps zips on the device, you're good to format (wipe) system. that erases the OS and allows for a new, clean install.
make a backup (if you dont have one)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe system
flash rom
flash gapps (if required)
reboot
let device sit a few minutes and reboot again.
Theres more to it then just flashing and having a better running phone. If that was it everyone and their mother would do it. You need to learn about the system and ROM you are operating on and tweak the settings to optimal performance for your phone, and more importantly to your liking.
Every phone is different. If one rom works great on one persons phone it may not run so good on another persons. You have to learn and have enough know how to be able to set the phone up in a way that runs good for you. While it may be frustrating at times I guarantee if you take the time to try out a couple different roms for a couple days at least, and play around with the settings until you know what they all do and why they are there and how work for or against your goals you will end up with a phone that you enjoy using on all levels. Features, performance, looks, etc.
Hope this helps, and good luck finding your custom rom 'sweet spot'
Try AxisM RLS18 rom its a great rom with so many features to it.

Update: I searched for a ROM using a 3.0 Kernel and found one with great battery life reviews call "Sons of Android". I installed it using TWRP 2.4.4 with the directions quoted above, and everything is great execpt for two things.
First, I always seem to get mirrored data. There is a Emulated folder and an SDcard0 folder that appear to have the same data. I have searched in the forums and found that it is an issue, but havent seen a solution.
Second, Netflix is draining the battery twice as fast as the stock 4.1.1. Before I could watch 45 minutes with 10% of battery and now the same 45 minutes is taking 20-25% of battery. Is this a 4.2.2 problem. It has been a problem on all the ROM's I have tried.
I am going to stick with this ROM for a while beacuse other than netflix the battery life is good. Just about the same as my stock ROM.
Thank you for all of your help for the Noob.
Hello guys,
Since I updated to 1.40.401.8, I flashed viper latest rom. The phone heats up on minimal usage, and oh the battery....ultra drain. I can barrly make it to the middle of the day.
Anyone having the same problem after the update?
I tried to flash it again, factory reset but no use. Any ideas to fix this or should I flash the old firmware?

Check over the apps you're restoring mate, keep the install clean, let it settle, set your CPU up right, install something to keep apps from starting up (auto starts) then see how the battery is, my guess is it'll be a lot better.
From that point just install the apps you need, followed by the ones you want.
Did you change up your firmware too? Obviously that should have been done but I thought I'd ask..
Hope this helps, seems obvious but its easily overlooked.

what do you mean by change up the firmware? if the firmware and the rom didnt match it will fall into a bootloop . I flashed the latest firmware and a new rom with the new base. I didn't install any different apps I only use several app which are whats app, appy geek, 9gag,tasker and twitter that's almost all the app and I ran more apps in the older firmware.
I have 30% now from only 6 hours and 30 min. there is a huge difference. I will try ARHD since its almost stock but I really love viper rom its full of customization
.
Anyway, thanks a lot m8, ill flash and new rom and ill update you guys.

I was under the impression that you could, some people had boot loops others didn't.
Leave all apps off, full wipe, then test.
If none of this works then I would try your luck in Viper thread.

Hey,
Its looks like an issue with viper rom, ARHD is way better, less heat and more battery for sure although I miss the customizations on the viper rom:crying:.
One thing I noticed, after flashing both roms I got the "android optimizing apps" for ARHD is was about 160 I think, while viper rom had like 240 -.-" There are a lot of things under that rom and i'm assuming they're causing the heat and battery drain.
ps. I always full wipe before flashing any rom
thanks

Just pick the ones you need mate, I know about viper, it is a little heavy but that's just to ensure that people get what they need.
As for a different base with a different firmware its definitely possible as I'm running the 1.40 ROM with the 1.32 firmware, no overheating and no problems.
Glad your back up and running. Try leedroid too, that's the ROM I'm currently running.
What's the best way to switch from PureNexus to Android O? Download the factory image, then run the flash-all.bat file? Is there anyway to do this without losing user data or is that the best way for optimal battery & performance?

To do it right, then you would wipe EVERYTHING via TWERP.
Including user data /sdcard.
Then do the flash-all.
Anything else is just asking for trouble, IMO.
It might work, but then you may end up with little issues here and there.
If you do it without wiping user data then remove the -w from the flash-all.bat before running it. I recommend backing up apps via TB though and do things right by wiping the everythingsssss.
Then root and restore apps via TB.

Yeah I was just reading the sticky post about this update. Strongly recommends doing a full wipe. Now I'm trying to decide if I should jump from PN to O haha. How is the battery on O? A huge improvement over (P)N?

Oreo is useless to me until Xposed supports it and Resurrection Remix has a ROM for it.

For me battery life is better on O than PN. GPS high accuracy , sync always on auto brightness Sot now 3,20h 41%battery left. Full wipe stock october rooted Su, EX kernel latest.
I understand the reasoning behind wiping system,data and cache in twrp when coming to a new rom...but what's the positive to wiping the sdcard?

Who's your cell provider? On O, I was constantly having issues with GPS accuracy being garbage and my cell reception was far worse (on T-Mobile). For example, my wife has a Pixel running Nougat, mine was running Oreo, and when we went on vacation my phone was always roaming or getting no service while she was getting LTE coverage (she is also on T-Mobile). I reloaded Nougat on my phone and we're heading back to the same area this weekend so I'm curious to see if my problem was soft/firmware related or if there's an issue with my phone.

sdcard or do you mean internal? It's not necessary to wipe internal when upgrading from N to O other than it'll clean all the unnecessary garbage from the phone. However, if you're downgrading from O back to N it is necessary. I tried downgrading from stock O to stock N with wiping and my phone was stuck on the boot animation screen until I decided to wipe everything.
Hi, i am using Ice.net Norway my signal is perfect always 4-5 bars. My wife's S7 is 2-3 bars on same network.
So I tried the Deuces Script to reset my phone to factory settings deleting -w
and it seems to keep saving settings / bad battery life coming from roms.
Currently on Dirty Unicorns. Cause it seemed like the most stable rom.
But I would like a guide on how to go back to stock in case it drives me nuts with how many apps force close (chrome and google now are annoying).
I have tried downloading full factory images and manually flashing it through fastboot while in bootloader.
Even making it unbootable. Coming from a long history of being a flashaholic. This phone is just problems with flashing. LOL. Beauty of a phone regardless. I do miss squeeze to activate google now as well. LoL and getting 8 hours of SOT (screen on time). OH! And I miss how fast it charged on stock rom while keeping my phones heat down!
START DISCUSSIONS! haha

Make sure your fastboot adb is all up to date
I had issues on Mac at least getting the newest I updated on my windows box flash all worked great back to stock took about a week for me to see normal battery life back
I also had issues manually flasing all so I did flash all for it to work

With all the problems you are having, I think it is time you tried a complete wipe of the device, including data. I've had more "issues" on this device then I ever had on my shamu. I've done a complete wipe (including data) twice to solve issues that had no other solution. What I can tell you is that the complete wipe did solve the issue. You can backup your data to your PC and then reload it after the wipe. If you are using Duces script (which I did), the last command asks if you want to wipe data. Take the plunge. I did and I wasn't sorry.
