Change 'other usage' to 'partial wake usage' and see what's keeping the phone up.

Rusty hi. It says Android systems.
6 hours of non use since unplugging I'm down to 44 percent battery. Errrrrr!!!!!

use system panel and see which processes and apps are using your cpu. its a free app, but the paid version gives you much more options and shows you a list of each app that used your cpu. that's what you need.
btw, system panel is by far the best app for this on the market!

What ROM and Kernel are you on and how long ago did you flash to it (assuming it's a custom ROM)?
Reason I ask is that I had sleep issues with a ROM that was fine but somehow didn't flash well. Reflashing the same ROM over fixed my battery issues. This might not be what's going on with you just any bit of info can help when it comes to chasing down ghost CPU cycles/battery issues.
Also, did you recalibrate you battery yet? It could be an issue of your battery not getting charged to 100% or dying before <1%

Ok cool I just downloaded the free version do you think I should buy the paid version better?

Hi! I have cyanogem mod 6.1
0 running kernel 2.6.35
9 cyanogenmod shade @ toxygene #2
I flashed a while ago but it seemed ok then. I'm not 100 percent sure but it kinda seems the problem started when I did a backup and a restore. ;(

On-screen app sucking the life out of battery

Have any of you guys experienced this? This stock LG app is eating all my battery after updating to gingerbread! And I haven't used it once. Never saw this before updating to gingerbread. Guess this gives me yet another reason to root and clean up the bloat-ware.

Seems to be a common problem, I experienced it myself on one of the leaks. The service restarted, found a problem and exited, got restarted etc. ad infinitum.
Agree, just root, and take a look at this post.

If you open dialer immeditely after the phone boots up, on screen phone starts to hog battery. So let the phone sit for a while, 10 minutes or so, and this doesn't happen. Same applies for camera, at least for me. Youtube app does the same regardless of when you open it, haven't found a solution for this one yet.

I had the same issue on V20L. So I removed OSP and the problem is solved.

i have some other doubts about this app and situation in general. if you see actual usage stats, that this app is not running at all (some sec of cpu time). what i noticed, after updating to v20l battery stats are total messed up. f i launch for exaple some other app jus after chargeing...thiss first app will always have 25-30% of battery usage in the end...even if i have used and than killed it seconds.
anyway, i will go for rooting and removin all those unnessesary aps.

I had the same issue however I would question the accuracy of the battery meter. Anyway. froze the OSP app and it doesn't show in stats anymore.

I had 2 days ago the same problem with the OSP. I fully charged the phone last evening and left it to discharge with wifi on over night. It would have consumed over 8h 10% max, however GB took 25%.
The odd part: this time it wasn't OSP consuming 50% of the drain anymore, but Gallery! wtf?

maybe stupid question..but what is OSP? :/
I'm having trouble with batterylife on my o2x..it drains in 4-5 hours of very little usage.
Thinking of rooting..but can I do that with Superoneclick? when I have 2.3

OSP = On Screen Phone
its an app pre-installed with the phone.

Thank you. So if I root I can freeze that app and save some battery? What other apps would you say I should freeze to improve batterylife?

[Q] Battery life - my sisters I9000

Guys, my sister has had her I9000 for a good few months now and everything was fine until recently.
She phoned me (knowing I like my phones) saying her battery life had become really poor over a couple days.
So I took the phone off her and updated it with Kies, so now it's running the latest Kies Gingerbread for that phone. I should point out it is not rooted, completely stock.
I noticed some crummy looking app's like Android Anti-Virus and Task Killer so removed them hoping one of them was acting the goat.......everything seemed to be going good until yesterday and she charged the phone all night until 8am and when it came to around 2pm the phone was flashing up with low battery alert. She said she had used twitter a little and browsed on the internet a while.
I have told her to get CPU Spy and look if the phone is going into deep sleep, yesterday it had 0% deep sleep and today it is saying 70% deep sleep even though the battery only lasted 6 hours before low battery warning...
Any ideas what I can do to track down where the problem is? Would she see better battery with ICS or a custom GB ROM?

Mine did this on stock ROM luckily mine lagged when I went into battery use it was Samsung app push update service or something like that but thanks to the lag it showed sleep lock before it shower that service I uninstalled then it could go back into deep sleep

it will root your device and install clockwork mod, should fix the battery issues though. Try flashing the CF root kernel via odin. Theres a tutorial in the thread.

After the odin flash, you can use titanium app for remove apps or system apps unnecessary

[Q] Mediaserver taking between 60-80% of Battery

Hoping someone here can help me with an issue I keep having with my phone and no matter what I try, I cannot seem to solve this issue.
Last night, about 1am I went to bed, Phone was at 100% charge. This morning when I woke up, the phone was down to 58%. According to the power in settings, this is what has used the battery overnight.
Mediaserver 84%
Wifi 5%
Cell Standby 3%
Phone Idle 2%
Android OS 2%
Android System 2%
Screen 1%
Onavo Count 1%
I havent got an SD card in the phone and havent for over a week because I thought that might be the problem as others have said on here and I have next to no apps installed also so I cant figure out what is doing this
Im on android 4.1.2 and phone is not rooted. No further updates are available for me yet either over the air or connected to the PC via Sony companion software.
Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?

Did you leave your earphones plugged in?

Even though it's only been a day I'm getting the same problems with my ZR too
Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app

Ive not left my earphones in no and yesterday as a last resort I did a factory reset on the phone and Ive put no songs or hardly any apps on the phone and its still doing the same thing. Again, media server over night was responsible for over 50% of battery drain, this is 12 hours after a factory reset.
I give up with this phone now, it seems to spend more time plugged in on charge than being used

verwhri Rail
do you have lots of images on the phone? i used to have a similar problem with my s3. after i start up my phone i will let it sit for a while before i clear all my running applications. sometimes i do it before i hit the bed too. seems to help. not sure about XZ since i have not encountered such problem yet.

Its a completely clean factory reset from yesterday, so there are no images at all taken with the camera or stored, and no music/mp3s stored on the phone and no SD card attached either

just to double check, you are already on 4.2.2 right? I remember quite a number of people on 4.1.2 experience this problem (including me). most reported the problem was gone after updating to 4.2.2. i didnt get to try it myself as I sold my s3 even before 4.2.2 is officially out

No im still on 4.1.2. Thats the latest version available to me over the air or via PC companion (am in the UK) and am not sure I trust myself or if its easy to upgrade to the latest version any other ways

It's quite easy to fix though.
Just go to sound settings, and school down to the bottom. Disable all the checkboxes that are enabled.
That should get rid of that media thing in your battery stats
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Wait for the second charge and check the mediaserver again.
If you upload and download videos or photos in whatsapp can cause this.
Download wakelock detector from playstore and post some screenshots.

Thanks for this, ill try it out now.

Well, it was almost back at 100% charge anyway so i installed wakelock detector, and did a reset. Once switched on, i let it time out and left it for two hours.
Just had a look now in the wakelock app and I have something which says:
AudioOut_3 - 2 hours 8 minutes x1 - thats pretty much the entire time my phone has been asleep. So i assume something is stopping my phone from properly sleeping. Plus in those two hours, my phone dropped from 100% down to 88% (Mediaserver responsible for 91% of the drain)
I have all phone sounds and vibrations off for keypresses and notifications etc.

All you can do is repairing your phone with sus or flash your phone with another firmware and try again.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Well, i upgraded to 4.2.2 yesterday, completely fresh install and charged my phone back to 100% again. Overnight, over 8 hours, phone again drops over 30% of the total battery, again, in the battery stats, nearly all due to media server. I got no idea what to do now

Ive not got any games installed on the phone at the minute and on the actual homescreen all i have is the google search bar and the weather app. Nothing else on there apart from the settings shortcut. Ive tried to be minimal in everything to try and track down what the issue is.
There is no music on the phone, no SD card installed and the phone is totally silent, no sounds, vibrations, nothing.
The culprit it seems again though, according to the wakelock app, is something called Audioout_3. Which has kept my phone awake for pretty much the entire night. but ive no idea what this is relating to

Maybe a faulty phone,send it back if you still have guaranty.

I'm having the same issue, like most threads I've searched for; I tried checking for any corrupt mp3s, pictures etc. I did multiple factory resets, Flashed CM10, Flashed Carbon ROM, even Stock ROM was useless. It's really beginning to frustrate me, doesn't anyone have a fix to this? Mediaserver battery drain threads have been going on since June 2012 or even before that!

I've done some digging around and found out that the Kernel has some long wake locks.
Namely :
bam_dmux_wakelock
msm_serial_hs_dma
msm_serial_hs_rx
I've never had these wakelocks before and they are popping up out of nowhere. My phone's battery was great when I first got the phone, but now its not as good anymore due to the phone not deep sleeping as much.

For those that are curious, install betterbatterystats from the playstore and you can see what is causing your phone to not go to deepsleep.

Same here, I already did a full wipe still happening, and I feel its affecting my battery. Going to give this a couple of days doing some different tests to see if I can nail out the issue.

Still don't know what causes it. The problem started right around when I configured lookout, so I uninstalled. I also disabled locations on any possible app but still no go.
Then got pissed, reinstalled lookout, enable location and stuff, pretty much everything stock, now the problem went away. No more android os on top, battery life is back. Don't know what to think of it, I'd like to know what exactly caused it.

having the same issue....
Didn't plug phone in over night (was at 100% when I went to sleep), woke up with it at 70%. That's a HUGE drain from Android OS.

Weird thing. I've played with the wifi settings, switched from dhcp to static ip and it disabled the connection due to slow conn mesage that appeared, although I was right next to the router. Anyways, I reverted back to automatic dhcp then just a thought to go back to processes and this is what I've found: android os for over 15 hours although i plugged the phone from charger about 5 hours ago...

Try removing the Samsung WatchOn app and disabling/deleting/freeze the system apk for it. I believe it's called "peel.apk"

It randomly goes crazy for me too. I just disabled the watch on app and the browser bar. Hopefully this helps as it constantly runs eating memory when I don't even use it

Android OS battery drain!
Hey Y'all,
So I've been having some really bad battery drain issues involving Android OS on my new Note 3. I've been looking around for days trying to find the culprit and stumbled upon this:
(SORRY, it's not letting me post the link I don't have enough posts so I'll change HTTP for hteeteep, mods I apologize but I can't easily summarize the processes and explanations offered on this page.)
hteeteep://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/reduce-battery-drain-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-by-fixing-android-system-usage-0142361/
It has to do with gsiff_daemon a non-utilized but highly active GPS sensor daemon. I followed the instructions posted there and renamed the file. After that Android OS went back to normal % of CPU usage. When you look at CPU usage under developer option you can see that gsiff_daemon is constantly using resources. Since I disabled it my battery life has improved dramatically and I have yet to notice any "side effects". The phone works perfectly and all other apps are working properly. I think between this fix and staying away from "Enable location over Wi-Fi " should help most people with battery drain issues. I hope this helps!

I noticed the same issue since Sunday. Android OS is always under screen. I'm rooted and have freezed Knox related items in TiBU.
