So, recently, my battery life has gone to ****...mostly due to Android OS. I'm running MonsterRom 1.2. I just SBF'd the phone clean yesterday and restored apps via MyBackUp Root and TB. I made sure not to use a hand backup because I figured that would restore system settings causing the issue to re-surface. Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I understand that this isn't a drained battery, but the volume of use remains proportional when the phone is nearly dead.

Me too
I've also had a similar problem on both copies of the droid 3 I own. Can't seem to find the answer. Anyone had any luck out there?
Looking into it further
There is a great thread here.
I installed betterbatterystats and turned off syncing for instant upload and Google Docs to see if that would help. Also, com.motorola.blur.service.sync.engine.wakelock.task seems to be a possible culprit on the wakelock side of things. It would be nice if we could put this problem to bed. Besides this and not being able to receive SMS with images in it (I think it's something to do with my provider, Koodo), I love this phone.
Assuming that the phone is rooted, download a app called battery calibration from the market, charge your battery to 100 percent or 4200mah,give the app root access and tap calibrate. You should be good. When changing roms it is important to calibrate your battery. Also you can do the same thing by booting to cwm recovery and erasing battery stats.

Possible progress here
Removing the calendar widget, docs sync, facebook sync and instant update seem to have made a significant improvement over the last couple of hours. I will update as I get more data.
I should note that I'm on .890, I have rooted and debloated except for blur (I want the calendar app unless someone else can suggest a better one), motoprint and task manager.

Hi you guys...
I decided to post this because im a little bit tired and worried about some weird bug on my N1's (at&t version, currently being used on Honduras, Central America) gps...
Heres the story...
When i used CM5.X it was pretty accurate, inside and outside of any bulding, then Froyo was released, so I made a nand backup and proceed to flash FRF50 on it... since then, my gps isnt accurate anymore... i tried everything, going back to my nand, with 4.06 and 4.03 radios, wiping (like 25 times), flashing the new 5.08 radio, ive tried unticking the "use wireless networks" on the options... installing maps brut and nothing seems to work...
Here is a little cap for you:

The lack is not that much, but its pretty anoying because originally it wasnt like that.
some thing that ive noticed is that since CM6RC1, my weather app is more accurate, because before it used to pick another location to broadcast... (one town that is located nearby my city...)
I hope you have an answer for me!
thnx you guys!
I am using v2.2 N1. I don't have any problem as you stated.
BTW, how can I replace a build-in battery icon on the status bar to number in %
I have tried many many battery widget or software. It seems no-one can replace the build-in battery icon like you did.
Anybody? Please help!
I just made some tests, heres what i got:
Using GPS estatus Market app:
14.76991°N : 88.78649°O
Using maps.google.com Manually locating and focusing where i am right now:
14.769786 : -88.786397
Using maps.google.com (Manually locating and focusing where android's google maps app locates me:
14.769918 : -88.786515
Any ideas?
For me, the battery is drained by media and Google services. The Google services is understandable, i use Google Now and services like that, and I don't mind it. But the media is a mystery. I tried formatting my data partition, even reflashing the ROM but to no avail.
Anyway, I tried using other FWs, but the same thing happens. I have no idea why though... Any one having the same problem or knowing the solution? Please help, thanks!

Mediaserver (Media) is the service that handles all pictures, videos, musics in your device, including finding the files so they appear in your album/walkman and providing the file when you're trying to view them.
If you listen to music or see videos or pictures, it's normal that it will take some battery away
dude i have the same problem with battry drain my mobile battry dead in 7 hours 52 min in genral use like whatsapping, massagng and spme time facebook and i have 2g network. i dont know why this battry drains so faster earlier ihave xpeia sola and it stay near 11-12 hours appox with 3g network
i am also having this kind of problem.
battery backup is not upto the mark.
mediaserver takes around 20%battery and google services also takes large amount
Hey all! I think I found a fix (by messing around).
Go to titanium backup, and freeze media storage.
That solved the problem for me
However, you have to unfreeze it to take screen shots.

For Google services, I turned off location reporting and disabled GPS to save battery.
Now my batt goes at 0.5% per hour

Hey all,
Droid 3 using Minimoto 1.7 (Safestrap install) here. I've been using the phone as normal for almost a year before this happened -

Can anyone help me figure out what this "streaming media" app is? I was using the internet as normal one day and suddenly I noticed it had gulped 100MB in a very short time. At that point I thought it might have been the Youtube app (which Advanced Task Killer reported was running in the background) streaming crap so I deinstalled the app (also turned off 'allow apps from unknown sources'), rebooted the phone, and very carefully browsed for a bit while checking the data usage frequently. Suddenly it had taken another 130 MB.
I only have 500MB per month which is my only non-work internet access and I watch it like a hawk. This "thing" has now eaten half of that. Extremely annoyed!
Right now the only thing I have installed that might be considered "streaming media" is Soundcloud, which I haven't even run in a couple months. I'm getting worried about malware, etc. as I have no idea what this is nor what it's doing. I've never seen that show up in the data logger before. BTW the data logging app is My Data Manager but I have confirmed the extra data use appears on my bill, i.e. it is 'real' data and not just a bug in the app. I have "auto update apps" turned off in the Play Store and the "system updates" screen comes up blank (didn't think Minimoto would 'pull in' updates anyway?)
Also, I put my SIM card back in my old phone (HTC Dream running Android 1.5) and it works just as it always did with no unexplained data. At this point I don't want to get the Droid online at all for fear that it would gobble up the rest of my data and go over. (I thought of running something like Avast or Malwarebytes but it seems they are only legitimately available from the play store which means the phone must be online - argh!)
Any help appreciated - thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
I received the Lollipop 5.1 OTA last week and upgraded from 5.0. Since then, my phone has been regularly getting very warm to the touch, much hotter than it ever has. I installed GSam to regulate the temp and it's typically around 112-113 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not sure what temp it ran at before, but was definitely cooler as it was never noticeable.
I also noticed that the Contacts app is really slow. It takes a while to load. I believe this may also be affecting the Phone app and [Google] Messenger app. They seem to be running slowly as well. Between the heat and the slow apps, it is eating my battery up quickly. I'm getting closer to half a day of life, whereas before it was closer to a full day. Android Core Apps is eating up a good portion of the battery and is typically towards the top of the list. Previously, Screen & Android OS were the biggest culprits.
I tried to do some research on this issue and although I couldn't find too much information, I did read that this could be related to having too many "Google Contacts" and the phone is always trying to sync. I'm not sure if this is an issue newly introduced in 5.1, but I never had problems before. I do have a lot of contacts, as my company runs on Google Apps and I have all of my personal contacts stored in Google Contacts.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to rectify these problems. I've cleared the phone's Cache through recovery and cleared the Cache of the Contacts app. I realize that a hard reset may be my best option, but I'd rather not lose all of my progress in AdVenture Capitalist!
Thanks, guys. Looking forward to thoughts.
Here's some screenshots of battery info. Android Core Apps is killing my batt.

I should start off with, my phone normally ends an at least 12 hour day with ~40% and over 5 hours today, It had dropped to 10%. I have barely used it because I unplugged it to go to a doctors appointment, so not much use there, then for like 3 hours at home on my desk while I've been doing stuff on my computer, so almost none there either. Another confusing thing is that it says that "Over-Counted" used 32% of my battery but >3000 mAh?
Overall:

Also, how do I spoiler, there's no button
We can't see your pictures. They are on your google drive apparently. If I right click and open in new tab it shows them, one at a time.
Using Google, I found "over counted" is the new "Miscellaneous" in Marshmallow. Are you on a Marshmallow ROM?
Some relevant threads using Google search:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/3osxfl/what_is_over_counted/
You basically have to go in and find out WHAT in the new Miscellaneous is causing your battery drain.
Many people have reported high wi-fi drain with Marshmallow, that could be your issue. There are ways to limit that -- @iiWoodstocK has some great settings. Or you can flash a custom Lollipop ROM (like CM12.1) while you wait for the bugs to be worked out.

I'm using CM13 and It didn't update or anything, this happened randomly. Anyway, how do I "go in and find out" the details, it only shows me the computed and observed mAh usage. Also, I should have updated the post with that info but yeah I basically found the same thing.
I'm still on CM12.1, so I'm not sure how to investigate the over-counted stats on Marshmallow.
