Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.

A. Should the battery be draining this quick, when it was not used for the 24 hours which it lasted on battery? I mean, no apps were running, and it wasn't even connected to wifi, I usually leave wifi on on my phone by an accident and I don't notice it draining the battery that quick...(my only explenation although I dunno if it's right, is that while it's not connected and there are networks that it knows and can connect to in range, that it is constantly TRYING to connect, and thus draining the battery?
B. It says that it was constantly awake, but if you look below, the screen was turned on like, 2 or three times throughout the day?
Any ideas about these? Anyone know a fix for wifi? I tried wifi fixer from the market, but it didn't work (looks like all it does is reset the wifi) (and please don't suggest the changing channel thing on the router, cause I can't do that in college). Also, calendar won't sync with my email, says sync is down, try again later, and in accounts and settings, it doesn't say sync Calendar, it says sync com.android.calendar...? I tried wiping dalvik cache and reinstalled GAPPS V11...but nothing, still won't sync
Thanks guys.

I'm on 0.6 Alpha btw
I would say that is not normal. I watch my graphs loosely from day to day and I never see that sort of drain.
I will also say that mine is never awake for that amount of time. There were a couple of small blocks in the middle of today where it was awake but the screen was off, but for the most part, awake and "screen" on were grouped together.
You might check to make sure you don't have some background task running eating up CPU and battery...
PS: I also leave my wifi on all day, though since it's pretty broken it's rarely connected to anything useful. But even if it is, I can get a good day or two out of the Touchpad with light to moderate use.

Hey man. I'm really glad you posted this. i think we this community can get a lot of this thread if treated right.
I was wondering if you would be willing to change the Tittle on this thread to something down the lines of "Battery Comparison and Issues" Reason being, I think you and I, and many more, can benefit from this by collecting and discussing some issues we are all having.
I was think that this can be an image posting thread of battery status and performance.
Here is mine. (shown Below)
I've compared mine to yours and yours is definitely abnormal. I'd be concern too.
I'm also, well at the least I think I am, experiencing some battery issues and I would like to clear that up by examining other touchpad battery status' and issues.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
What do you guys think about this graph? Safe and normal?
Again, let me know what you think about that idea. I look forward to your reply! See ya.

Try the gapp fixer utility, it might fix your syncing problem. The link is in one of the development threads. Sorry I can't help you with your other problems. Good luck.

The past 2 days I've been running into an issue with my battery that I can't figure out on my own.
First off, I'm running CM7 Final, gApps 307, IR's most recent kernel, and the SS4N1 script. I normally average around 2%/hr.
Well, this morning I woke up to this:

}
I didn't think much of it, thought it more of a fluke and went on about my day. Well, I get to work and charge it up to 100%, pull it off and in 4 hours I'm looking at this:
For some reason, Google Services is keeping my phone awake and not letting it sleep normally. As you can see, the phone has been unplugged for 4 hours and all but 20 minutes it has been kept awake due to this service. When I go to my Running Services screen, under Google Services, it shows that Google Messaging Service is real culprit and keeping my phone in wakelock.
I did a bit of searching around and it seems that the Google Messaging Service is used for pushing notifications from the Google cloud (I saw gTalk and Chrome2Phone mentioned specifically). I went into gTalk and disabled auto sign in and uninstalled C2P yet after a reboot the process starts back up almost instantly. However, it doesn't seem to be keeping the phone awake at the moment. Then again, it's only been running for about 10 minutes but so far the "Keep Awake" timer for Google Services has not gone up.
I discovered that Google Services was causing a wakelock when I was loading my battery usage screen. Before the words "Google Services" would load, it would show "*wakelock*" for about a second then replace it with "Google Services"
Has anyone else run into this issue before? Suggestions?
I am going to flash CM7 nightly #39 when I get home from work to see if that helps the issue. I've been running CM7 for about a week now yet the problem appeared for the first time last night/this morning.
i've not seen that issue yet, and i'm running cm7 too. so weird when random things like this happen that are unexplainable. i'd just give it more time, maybe flash again, another test.

I can confirm this issue. Google services "wakelocked" for half of the day. Running CM7 "stable" (7.0.0, not nightlie) :/
Since I turned off auto sign in and uninstalled chrome 2 phone I haven't seen the problem.

Hi did this ever get solved?
I'm actually running a stock ICS 4.0.1 OS on a galaxy nexus and just recently had an almost identical problem arise. I've had fantastic battery life (easily get through one day of typical use on one charge), but just this morning i woke up and my phone had dropped 70% over night.
I plugged it in to charge and it usually gains 1% each minute, but now was taking 4 minutes for 1%. Checked the battery app and there appears to be a *wakelock* on Google Services.
i uninstalled Chrome2Phone and logged out of gtalk, but the problem persists. Google Services is 35-40% of my battery usage now.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how to stop it?
I bought this in December 2011, and it was running perfectly til just today.
Thanks a lot.

I feel my battery life has come dowb after kl7 update..check scrrenshot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I am not seeing exact issue how much android OS usng,
looking to your screenshot, display is just 6%, means hardly you have utilised your device. it was mostly in screenoff state. Ok when you dont use your device, but OS is running in background so just OS but nothing else have drain it.
Now another thing looking to image i can say in 9hr your battery dropped 50%
it means > 5% / hr, that actually i count the measure.
In idle state it shud be 2-3 % with 3G n Data sync On. So here it is more.
anyway once let it drain completely then recharge it fully n count drain %/hr.
I am using few stuff, e.g
Autostart - just kill the app you dont using
Phoneweaver - It autometically controls my data connection e.g. just after 15min to my sleeping time, it gets turnoff my data, n swithon b4 few min i wakeup.
SetCPU - I set profile to use CPU <500 in screenoff state.
My batt seems to last longer on kl7.
Your is idle. it seem 3%/hr even using screen quite good time.
My sisters Note had same crazy issue with Android OS eating battery. Tried many things to find the culprit but only thing that fixed it was full wipe and reinstall ROM. No issues now.

il calibrate battery and see hwz it working
I have a very long time use with this firmware and very happy with the update.
I just disabled all automatic synch and the samsung apps notification and things like this.
3g is always enabled and some hours a day wifi is also enabled
Don't know if it will work for you but I had the same problem. Believe it or not a simple hard reboot, solved the issue. Was identical to mine using Android OS over 70% while screen was at 15%. Programs added and deleted were still running around in the OS until that reboot(I'm guessing). Let me know if that works.
seems better. i did a complete battery drain and recharged from 0 battery. now after 5 hours after complete recharge, im at 84%. 2 push emails..full time wifi connectivity, facebook/twitter/socialhub sync always on. 5 min phone call. and thats it.i think its better.
For those who do not realize it yet, having Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc syncing every minute takes a lot of power. You cannot expect the phone to be doing this for 12 hours straight.
If you have a lot of battery ussage with screen off, try to disable account synchronization and see what happens then.
You need to evaluate if you need to see every social network update on the instant, or you carry extra batteries with you, or you are able to find a place to charge every few hours.
What you cannot expect are miracles.

Hang on.i have all sync enabled...wifi always on .stil look at my battery life..its decent

Hmm, something has definitely changed for me.
Up until recently I was getting two days use out of a charge with wifi, gps & 3g enabled syncing 2 gmail, 1 yahoo account plus twitter and google reader stuff. Last couple of days Android OS has gone nuts and I'm getting similar readings in terms of usage to those quoted in this thread. This morning I've drained 20% in an hour with a bit of internet use.
Only thing I have changed is updating a few apps and I've put the thing in one of those silicon protection cases but that can't be the reason(can it??!!).

Dear All,
here is my Note 2.3.6 stock rom with Franco #6 kernel Battery usage (in pic 1&2)
It shows that my note was awake mostly all the time although as you can see from the pic that the phone screen is off most of the time (almost did not use it that day)

1-is this because I was leaving the wifi on most the time?
Edit: I turned the wifi before sleep and after 6 hours I found the phone was awake all the 6 hours and sygic was off
this an old pic (couple of days before) and you can see my wifi was on all the time while the phone was not awake most of the time
2- Why my signal bar in pic is yellow and not green as usual?
and in pic 2 here is my apps, so which one caused this awake?
Final results after long day of asking, getting help from replies here, reading and trying, everything is fixed after doing restart

Don't keep your WiFi and GPS (Sygic) on all the time. Looks like that's what's stopping your Note from going to sleep.
Don't know if this is an actual fix, but what I discovered is that turning the screen off by pressing the 'Power' button on the side helps tremendously in preserving my battery life. If I just let the screen time out, my battery gets drained big time.
This may/may not work for you, but it's worth a shot...
(EDIT: This still holds true even when I keep my wi-fi on)

Well both old and recent screenshots show the same battery drain and quite similar usage, they lasted for a day and a couple hours.. I think it's a glitch in the system info.
Had a problem a week ago with heavy battery drain in a quite similar manner and I can guarantee that if the phone didn't entered sleep mode it wouldn't even last those 24hrs.

do you mean that the phone entered deep sleep but the results are not correct or not true?
I have also CPU Spy and it shows that my phone did not enter deep sleep during the last 30 hours (or more)
try uninstalling Sygic.

Hello guys
First for all, hello, firsts post here, but I'm reading this forum for a while ago...
Second, please don't turn this thread a 'SP Battery rlz VS SP Battery sucks' xD. Actually, I'm satisfied with battery life in SP
Now... To the thread. One of u have seen something like this?

First high battery drain is normal usage, actually, I was testing some apps, however, second high battery drain is standby mode!, yes! standby!... It was the time I was sleeping xD
When I go to Battery Usage I found this
that f**king Google Services and Google+ are draining my battery.... Since I brought this new phone (last one was Xperia T, it was stolen :crying I saw a lot of times that damn Google Services consuming a lot of battery, and at Xperia T always Screen was the number one at this.
Anyone knows why this happens? there's a solution other wise turn off all google stuff?
Regards
PS: as u can see my native language is spanish, so sry if my english is not good xD
oh yeah... I'm at .254 Stock ROM
Hey,
before you sleep, maybe turn on flight mode just to go sure. If your phone is rooted you could also use greenify, if not, don't use it
You need to use the app 'Wakelock Detector' to find what is keeping your phone awake.
The amount of time your phone is awake definitely isn't normal
Also try disabling stamina mode
Thanks for your answers guys

Actually, turning off Wifi solves the problem, but I'm curious about why Google Services drain so much battery, also, this is not happening all the time

About that, stamina have some issues with Outlook, sometimes Outlook drain a lot of battery in standby, but only happen when I'm on mobile data, and also not always, with Google Services happen both on mobile data and Wifi...
I'll use that app, so let me install and see what happen, also I'll try siabling stamina...

I'm not sure if I has to use the edit button, but well...
Running WLD all night found this
searching a little, I found that the 'GTALK_ASYNC etc etc' is known that may cause battery drain.... and apparently is related with VPN.... The first image of this post I was testing that app 'Firewall sin root' that creates a false VPN to conrtrol all data... but now, last night I was not using that app and still happened...
I'm waiting for 4.3. update now, so I'll see what happen after that xD
Thanks for the answers guys
The device is new, has only 2 weeks of use and I've updated it to MiUi 12.5.6 (RKLEUXM). My use is very moderate, some videos, social network just for conversations and only wi-fi connection. After the update, I noticed high battery usage even when I'm sleeping with all connections turned off. Obviously there is some battery thief, but it only appears in the graph as "smartphone services", this is not normal. Any idea?
I can even feel the phone a little warm around the cameras when I'm using it for basic stuff.

It's seem a 12.5 MIUI problem for all Xiaomi note 10 series
Something(s) are running in the background.
Try putting into Safe mode at night to rule out 3rd party apps.
Track down the culprits and deal with each on a case by case basis.
I have this device since August 27th, after setting it up, I started optimizing it, restricted background use for a lot of apps, well, everything that could be disabled or restricted, I only gave free pass to apps I consider important, but, the reults were really bad, 17% of overnight drain! Long story short, the optimization must be done very carefully, trying to stop all kind of things might prove negative, by trial and error, I now get a good battery life, now it barely consumes 1% in 8-9 hrs idling at night, aod off, wifi on, gps on, so, try to optimize your device carefully

Hi,
Did you single out what was the culrpit. I have disabled every non essential app, tried this solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/improving-battery-life-on-miui-12.4139913/
But nothing helps. It only shows that android system is drawing power.
I will be glad if you could point what you made to fix your phone
If there is any Firewall that can log with the newer "secure" OS's you can use that to help pinpoint the rogue apk(s).
With Pie I use Karma Firewall but it's logging feature doesn't starting with 10.
After doing everything I could think of, the AOD seems to be the culprit, even thoug I really like it, when disabling it, overnight battery consumption lowered to 1% in a 7 hrs period

Is tap on an option?
No, to achieve this low bat comsuption, I disabled miui optimizations, then, the option for aod is on or off, no more settings, I really like the aod, but the drain while idling drives me nuts... I painfully miss my galaxy note 10+.....
Meh, I hear that. It's to the point I got a second new 10+ while they're still available. They are the last of the stock devices running on Q.
I won't touch 11 or 12. Funny thing is it doesn't run like an outdated dinosaur.
Been a real bad year for Android...
