Hello there guys! I bought my Moto G30 two weeks ago and I'm experiecing a huge battery drain on standby, about 30-40% per day. I tried using plane mode when I go to sleep but it drains about 10-12% every night. Do you guys know how to fix this? It's really annoying. Thanks in advance

Clear system cache.
Disable all cloud crap including Goggle Backup Transport, Framework and Firebase.
Disable Google, manufacturer and carrier feedback.
Disabling Google play Services when not needed can be useful. Turn off location. Disable Gmaps if not needed.
Disable all power management then find any other apps that run in the background and deal with them on a case by case basis.
Optimizing a stock phone is generally a long drawn out process of trial and error
Karma Firewall can be used to block apps from using the internet and thus reduce battery drain.
Unfortunately in Q and above it's valuable logging feature is disabled. I'm on Pie and it works well.
Karma uses almost no battery, freeware, ad free, a perfect apk.

Thanks a lot, I did that but no luck. I have to try karma firewall yet but what I can tell you is that the only way to solve this issue (so far) is to disable Google Play Store completely, by doing that, the battery drain reduced drastically

I always keep Playwhore disabled.
It's a menace. It requires a reboot with both it and Google play Services enabled to connect to Playstore. Paid for apps from there like SD Maid will puke if it's not active and show only as the free version.
Playstore, the worst Google app there is.
Google play Services is enabled briefly a few times a day. I'm getting 7-11%@hr SOT with my Note 10+/Pie now.
Thanks a lot for your reply mate! Really helpful

While I own an international unlocked version of the S2, i assume the Sprint version must be very similar. After countless hours of trying to figure it out, this is what i discovered and solved my battery draining issue (it's been two months with no problems at all) i get 4 to 5 hrs display time and it lasts me all day. I was on stock 2.3.3 and recently upgraded to 2.3.4. with same results. The following tips are things i did prior to rooting, and they solved my battery drain issue.
1. Anything that tracks location is a battery drainer and i discovered that i was using wireless networks for location (it's also not that accurate) and it was the biggest culprit, so i disabled it and now i use gps (more accurate) as needed and turn it off when done. If you use Google maps with google latitude enabled, sign out of latitude when done using it.
2. App killers use more battery than saving it by closing apps and processes that run in backgroung that will automatically open right back again. Stay away from them.
3. Some apps if left in memory will constantly cause cpu spikes (suspend and events/0), in my case it was Facebook and Xfinity apps. So i close all active apps in task manager. Don't really clear ram, just close active apps.
4. Use Watchdog from Market to track any apps that might be using a lot of cpu.
5.Enabling Back up my data also drained my battery, so i disable it.
Hopes this helps...

While I can't state for certain that it's causing any extra battery drain, Carrier IQ is hooking into the location service, and every time your location changes, grokking your latitude, longitude, accuracy, and a timestamp. This is new to the Epic Touch.
I constantly have alerts for suspend and event/0 in watchdog. In the stock task manager there really isnt much running to kill. It's driving me nuts. haha My battery life isnt horrible but I think it could be better..

Hello!
I experience problems with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery life. I'm not really sure, if it was began already on 4.0.4. or started only after my 4.1 (Jelly Bean) update, as I upgraded it just after the purchase.
As for now, I have to charge my phone 2 times a day, although my usage of it is very moderate (no games, 3G, etc.). And the battery statistics shows that "Browser" and "Google Services" consume more than 50% of a battery, though I'm not using the stock browser at all. It seems that this services are just keeping the phone awake:

}
I saw other posts dedicated to this problem (for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416994), but most of them say about "Android OS" problem. I disabled Google+ and location services (as it is sometimes advised), but it didn't help. As you can imagine, this bug is very frustrating and annoying.
Any ideas, who can be the culprit?
Thank you in advance.
Did u try clearing cache and data on Google services framework in apps> settings> all?
GNex>JellyBean

Scallywag1, thank you for the tip! No, I didn't... but now I've cleared it. The problem goes away after every restart and then appears suddenly, so I'll have to wait for another day or two before reporting success.
Could be an app trying to open the browser everytime it launches and just leaving it there trying to connect
I also thought about some app, but I couldn't find it, and don't know how to do it now. Can you advise some utility?

You can use watchdog task manager or view whats running and kill it also you can download alogcat and see whats running etc.

I understand that I also can use
Code:
adb logcat > log.txt
or
Code:
ddms.bat
but it seems rather difficult to analyse that log with all the output from various applications. I also tried different "battery draining problem diagnosing" apps but none of them helped
And thank you for the "Watchdog Task Manager" - never heard of that app, will definitely try it!

Scallywag1, thank you very much again!
It seems that your solution worked: no more "Browser" or "Google Services" in battery stats for three days. And now I have to recharge once a day: cannot say that it's really great, but it is much better and totally bearable for me.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Suddenly Play Services is the number one user of battery on my phone, and I cant go more than 7 or 8 hours instead of all day like before.

I use ROM Toolbox to take away some of it's startup privileges, the easiest way though is to turn off location services, but some people aren't willing to do that. And that battery life pictured isn't that bad, you can see that the line is slowly sloping down with no spikes... especially with Bluetooth on. If you don't have it connected to something I suggest turning it off.

Thanks for the suggestion.
This is something that just started, and it appears that it wakelocks about 30% of the total run time of the phone. (20 Minutes out of 60). Definitely not right.
More searching has found a suggestion that this bug has something to do with google hangouts constantly forcing play services to wakelock. Since I don't use hangouts I have frozen it, and I'll see if anything changes.
Update:
After a full charge and 2 hours of runtime with Hangouts frozen I no longer see any hint of the Play services in the battery stats, and I'm down to 96% instead of 92 percent. I know it's not solid proof but it looks promising. compare the screenshots:
With Hangouts unfrozen^
With Hangouts frozen^
Hey. Not exactly the best place to do this but I've just noticed my battery is spiking down rapidly. I'm not sure what going on. Every ten seconds or so I drop 1% This issue has just started occurring. Any help?

I have only default applications + Waze + WhatsApp and Steam. I tried to wipe cache on Google Play Services, i tried to remove my Google Account and add it again, and also i tried factory reset. However, Google Play Services is still the first battery drain.
Is this normal? Can i do something to fix this?
Thank you!

Try becoming a Beta tester for Google Play Services, it will download the latest beta for you, I've been running the beta since the S7 and had no battery drain from it

Me neither.
Thank you for replies!
If i become a beta tester for Google Play Services, can i turn back to normal version if the app is unstable?
Is this problem (G Play Services drain battery) a common one on S9 at least? Is it only software related or can be "the whole phone" (hardware)?

Yes you can, and I haven't heard of this problem before
I joined Google Play Services Beta program but i don't see improvements... It still using a lot of resources/battery...
I uninstalled Waze too (thought it wants access to location in the background) but still no improvements...
Is there something else i can do? I hope it's not a hardware/device problem...

Try uninstalling the apps you've installed and see if it helps. If it does, then try adding them back one at a time. You could try something like Gsam Battery Monitor and see what's draining the battery.
Hi,
What is the average drain with AOD? Is 6-7% percent overnight with AOD normal? With AOD it seems that the phone is going into deep sleep at all.

Usage should be about 1%@hr or less if well designed and configured correctly.
You got junk running in the background.
WhatsApp, FB etc... get it off the phone.
Cloud apps like Google Backup are prime suspects.
Power management apps tend to cause trouble as well.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services at night to see if this helps.
You may need to completely disable Google backup to stop the drain.
Turn off Google Firebase in settings unless you use this.
6-7% overnight with AOD on is pretty good. Why don't you schedule AOD so it's disabled at night tho?

Yeah, my bad... for always on AOD that's a nominal usage amount. Tap on AOD will cut usage in half.

I have another experience..when I was on OOS idle drain with AOD all time was about 3%/h.. currently I'm on Evolution and it's something about 5%/h
