Battery decreased 30% overnight

At 1:00 am my battery was about 75%
When I woke up at around 7:00am it was 43%...
The only that happens to my phone overnight is I have a titanium backup all apps + data at 2:00am..
Is this why it decreases a lot?

It maybe because of either BLN or WiFi sleep not enabled!

I did not have wifi on. I'm using the darky port v8.0. There is an app called bln but I never knew how to use it...

Curious why you would back up all your apps and data every night? If you have tons of apps it will use a significant amount of battery. Obviously could be your kernel that your running as well, or the modem, or a number of other factors.

Try this. Do a manual backup of all ur apps and data and see how much battery decreases. This will give u an idea of how much battery this task needs. On mine, it doesn't take more than 1% to backup like some 45+ apps and their data.

Well the back up doesn't even take 1% of my battery.. but I'm cancelling the schedule just for now to see what happens.

I don't think it's BLN. I frequently have Gmail get a new email in the middle of the night and not notice until morning, which means BLN was on the whole time, and I do not notice a negative effect on my battery.

Some ROMs have an app called Blinky, if you can find it. It allows you to set the BLN to blink, so you can save some battery that way.

Try flashing a different kernel. I can't remember which is included by default but I would suggest trying the speedmod kernel.

I guess the problem was tibu. My battery only decreased 7%. Is that y'alls battery life? And I have the bln app but how do you use it
Sent from my phone

That is good for idle drain overnight. As far as the app open it and check the box for enable, uncheck for disable? Don't like bln so I can't remember exactly.

I got a 54% decrease overnight and I realized I had wifi on. Is this the reason?
Sent from my phone

I leave WiFi connected at night and don't see that....I really think you should try another kernel.

Just go to the development section and look for threads prefixed with [KERNEL]. You can flash any kernel with SGS kernel flasher available from the market. I get insane battery life with glitterballs' kernel overclocked and undervolted, though I only enable wifi when doing extended browsing or downloading of files.

I'm running Perception 10.1 and I had HORRIBLE battery drain from day 1.
I noticed that my phone was constantly pinging the Google servers around every 5-7 seconds.
I had to disable automatic updates for Gmail in the stock email app and the ping/drain stopped. No idea what the real problem is. Gmail was set to update every two hours, but it obviously had other plans. Good thing my Gmail is a backup/spam account.

N7 goes dead for no reason.

I've had my N7 for almost a month now. Upgraded to 4.2.1 almost immediately, so had no baseline to compare against. Device has been working fine and I am very happy with it. That is, except for one small issue: a couple of times it has gone completely dead overnight for no apparent reason. After the first time I installed a task killer and Juice Defender that I use on my S2 with excellent results. Things were working fine and then today the N7 was completely dead again. So dead it would not even turn on until it got 2% charge on it. In looking at the battery stats it showed NFC service accounting for 60% of the usage with Facebook taking another 20% Screen time was a measly 15%! To my knowledge, I don't even use NFC so why is it sucking my battery dry? I have my N7 in a case with the magnetic switch. Both times it did this it was after I was reading a book and put the device on my nightstand (closed) with my TV remote on top of it. Could the NFC be trying to communicate with my TV remote? WTF? Any suggestions as to what is causing this greatly are appreciated.

Its retarded. Jk. I just got my N7 for Christmas but I would try removing case, etc. And setting it away from everything else to see if that fixes anything

turn off nfc if youre not using it. main settings, wireless and networks, more, disable nfc. if youre rooted, and dont plan on usimng nfc, id delete it and tags from /system/app/. i delete it after every rom flash since i dont use it. thats one less thing that wants to suck my battery juice dry.

Actually, that option is there so that you can remove all user data in the event you need to sell it or give it to someone else. Doing a wipe/reset is a major pain, especially on an unrooted device with no TiBU to restore apps and data. If it happens again I will consider it, but so far it appears to be working fine. Haven't seen NFC started since that one night. I had another phone on the nightstand that may have been why NFC initiated.

NFS does *not* drain battery, unless you scan a tag, etc..
in other words, if its enabled, and but you dont use it, there is not battery used.

Like I said, when I discovered this latest rundown and looked at the batt stats, NFC service was responsible for 60% of the usage. The phone was simply sitting on my nightstand after reading a Play Books book, so I have no idea what I might have done to turn NFC services on or why my task killer did not kill it while it sat idle all night. My only guess is that the proximity of another smartphone or TV remote set it off, but I don't really know. I moved both items and it hasn't happened again since.

[Q] How can I tell what's eating my battery?

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??

In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.

I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.

Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

Android OS battery draining

Hello guys, I write here again for another problem with my moto x. The battery of my telephone is draining too quickly and according to the data on my telephone it should be because of the Android OS, which is draining more than Screen. I attach some screenshot.
I add some more data. My telephone is a Sprint XT1056 unlocked to use it with a Vodafone sim in Europe. The version of Android is 4.4.2 and I can't upgrade otherwise I'd lose my unlocking. I think I use the Moto x without stressing it too much, but the battery drains really too quickly, sometimes in even less than 8h with 1h of screen and without gps. Can you help me? Thanks.

You need to use an app like BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector to track down what part of Android OS is acting up. With those numbers, we should be able to help.

Judging by your battery graph in the first pic the phone isn't going to sleep. That solid blue line shouldn't be solid the entire time, it should have breaks in between when the screen isn't on or when something isn't running. Looks to me like you got a rogue app. Like mentioned before BetterBatteryStats is a great app to find the culprit. Also, high Android OS usage is known issue on 4.4.2. It's fixed in 4.4.4.

Yea
Android os should be about 3% on 444.
Try a safe boot. Then get app install history from play. There is some hog you need to find.
Android sys should be 6% but on 442 that you could deal with.

No, because I'm afraid to mess up with the sim unlock. If I lose it this telephone for me will get useless...

It says you're on 3G, it's possible that it's searching for an LTE signal, thus causing battery drain. If you're in an area that doesn't have LTE, you should probably switch it to 3G only mode. I'm not sure if the sprint model lets you do that through the mobile network menu, but if not, get an app called LTE On/Off for thunderbolt from the play store and it'll take you to a menu where you can switch to 3G mode so that it doesn't poll for LTE all the time. (assuming you haven't already done so)

You won't mess up your Sim unlock by flashing a recovery and rooting.
Then you'd be able to see more in depth battery stats with Gsam and gsam root companion.... Or other apps mentioned above.
But, android OS will rise with each feature /service you have enabled. Like location services Google now, and other Google Apps.
Try charging to 100, then turn off location completely and Google now... And see how it is for a day. I'm betting it drops way down. ?
Then go from there. Chances are apps are spamming location.
See post 2 and 3 in the Battery thread in my signature for tips. It's on the N5 section... But the tips are universal. ?
We will help you over there too. Just be sure to mention You're on a moto X. To avoid confusion. And post 4 has the screen shot examples for the best help.

52 minutes held awake in 4+ hours is awful. 52 minutes of held awake time should be over 24 hours... Not 4.

You can try it. Try helium to back up your apps first. But, it could be some app causing your troubles. Or its Google related.
I'd factory reset and only install a few apps a day after. See if it goes for a dive. Then you know it's one of the apps you installed that day. Process of elimination.

There was a way to use a version of wakelock detector from a windows pc to access the list of wakelocks on the moto x, which would normally require root. It only works tethered to the computer, and I haven't tested it recently but it worked on 4.4. The utility can be found here http://bit.ly/1h2Hzmw
