[Q] Strange battery stats/usage

Hello everyone.
Battery usage menu on my LG 4x shows that majority of battery is used by "android system" its like 70%, while screen shows 2% usage. On my other android devices that i owned it was like 10% max(android system process). Do u think its normal?
PS. My battery goes down rly fast on lg 4x hd.

Try disabling DRM services, i got that usage when the processor is at full power anyway

Drm service disabled, lets see In few hours. Moreover i have all the time about 600 mb ram in use, any1 can tell me what for?
I have wifi gps synchro bluetooth-all disabled.

I disabled It, still same battery usage. That 600-700 ram usage thingy is anoying, can any1 tell me what Is using 70% of ram?

Try disabling all the apps that are carrier made, or use a deodexed rom

check this tread, it also have a remove stock apps scipt to workaround that issue.
Also, download betterbatterystats to check the waterlocks and see what is consuming the battery

Android system battery drain is this normal?

I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2048315
In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2021248
Yesterday, I used the phone with light usage such as browsing for a few minutes that's all, but still the android system was on top, I hardly used it why is this?
On the CPU it shows that it was running on 51mhz for more of the time than deep sleep, that must be the reason why the battery had been draining.

android system is more than one app, is the system it self...
Its logic why is on the top

yeh but even wen my phone was not in use how come it was hardly on deep sleep? compared to the galaxy s3 this battery is much worse as on s3 the android system is below the screen and screen is on top for usage. on the s3 when the phone isnt in use it is mostly on deep sleep.

Even in deep sleep the clock is working, the alarm, keys software...
Like when we are sleeping, heart keeps beating, etc...
That's why it's logic to be on the top

Disregard this, the guy is wrong. Your phone should be in deep sleep most of the time.
Could you please obtain "BetterBattery Stats" or a similar program to post screenshots of your kernel and partial wakelocks? This would help us figuring out what is wrong. My friend has the same phone, and Android system is on top for him too most of the time. We are still trying to find out what is going on.

He's right... Sorry, my mistake
When in deep sleep :
In first place should be "Cell standby" and after "Phone idle".
It's what I have in mine...
After 9 hours my battery drain was 1% in deep sleep.

Check the CPU Governor ,, for dual core we set it "hotplug" but about quad core I do not know .
But mainly the problem with governor ,, governor means something like profile . It controls the CPU frequency to get performance or powersave or both of them .
To change governor install any CPU app and you will find it .
Search about governor with quad core in google . Sorry my phone is dual core (Optimus 3D) .

The Governor has no influence on any app or system process holding a wakelock. The governor merely controls the way the CPU frequency is scaled depending on load conditions.

Yeah . I know
The governor controls the deepsleep which makes system off
So by the governor can enter deepsleep then the system will off .

maybe phones battery isnt calibrate. let battery get empty completely & charge it again. repeat this job several times. then use battery calibration & easy battery saver.

did you make sure your apps running don't keep your phone awake? and that the phone does go into deep sleep?

a bit off topic but my problem is that the battery has been stuck at 24% for the last 12 hrs, I've not been using the phone because the earpiece speaker is broken so waiting to get it repaired. I've tried rebooting the phone and still at 24%, I'm going to play a video until it drains the battery and do a full charge. battery info shows the phone has been on for 2 days 11hrs since last charge on standby most of the time.

battery
i charged the phone yesterday night now the battery is still on 100% with no use all day. if i open wifi or start for example an app the battery goes down like a countdown.whats the problem then?

Battery life

I'm having troubles with my battery, it drains too fast! I've used battery calibration tools, I deinstalled samsung push notifications, I'm using juice defender, screen brightness is around 30-40%, but the battery still gives me about 2-3 hours of screen time, or if I don't use the phone that much, still drains to 10-20% by the end of the day. Any suggestions, please!

well,the battery problem in my case was the Dropbox app...it was keeping my phone awake all the time and the battery lasted 20-22hours tops...
i uninstalled it,restarted it and all came back to normal and by normal i mean 2 days of medium usage,sometimes even 3 days...the battery drainage overnight(6-8hours) is between 3-5% (with wifi and 3g off)...
so,im pretty new to this android world,but check out your 3rd party apps,maybe some of them is keeping your phone away from going into deepsleep when you dont use the phone...cheers

Thanks alot, how can I check when my phone goes to deepsleep?

as i mentioned im fairly new to android world, but if u got to settings>battery and click on the graphical picture,below the graphics that shows the battery usage,you will see info about GPS-on,Wi-Fi,Awake,Screen On and Charging...my guess is that "Awake" should not be full blue bar all the way, since when you dont use the phone it should not be awake all the time...
at least this was my case with my Dropbox app,but i dont know about you...if your phone was OK for some period of time then it suddenly changed its behavior,then i guess you should ask yourself which apps you have installed lately,maybe some of them is causing this...uninstall the latest apps,restart your phone and see if that changes your phone back to normal(you can always install those apps back if this doesnt solve it)...

Get the betterbatterystats app to get accurate battery readings as the built in one doesn't work very well.
Disable all push notifications not just samsung. Facebook, WhatsApp, skype, Gmail even xda and tapatalk.

Performance is great, you can play any game i can think of without a problem. Battery however is not good. After 14 13 hours battery is down to 62% with screen time of 55min (no games, running only wifi, power saver on). I may have a faulty device though.
Thinking of trading it in for a nexus 4, not sure if that is a good idea though.

I'm not disputing this, I do like the phone. It is just a pity it will never properly run true Android because of scumbag Samsung, on account of this I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

I get 30 hrs approx, power saving on, wifi only at home, moderate use, I dont play games, but do a lot of ev3rything else. I love my lte, I just make sure things like location only go on when I need them but all the tweaks ive done have gave me a great battery life

[Q] Massive Idle battery drain? Any ideas?

Hi all,
So I'm getting a lot of battery drain on my S5. I unplugged the phone this morning at 5 AM (hungover LOL) and went back to bed to wake up at 12 PM with about 40% drain. This is my fifth Android and I don't recall this ever being so bad. Especially considering this phone (and battery) are only three weeks old. Could it be manufacturer defect on the battery???
Here is the Android Battery display as well as "Battery Widget Reborn" stats. I'm running BatteryGuru too.
I have no idea why Weatherbug or Youtube or Sirius XM are SO HIGH.... considering I never opened either app. Actually just installed Sirius XM seeing as I haven't used it.
Any thoughts of what else I should look into?
I've turned as much bloatware "off" as I could too.

Dude, use Ultra Power Saving Mode when you're not using your phone. It will make a huge difference. With my phone just seating there over night, as in about 6 to 8 hours, it will loose no more than one percent. With some txts coming through, it will loose no more than 5 percent.

There's a good possibility that one of the apps you have installed is keeping your device awake and not letting the processor go to sleep. Hence, your battery life decreases at a faster rate. Go to Settings > General > Battery, then press the battery graph to get details. You will want to pay attention to the "Awake" part. If there is a solid blue line, it means something on your phone is not letting it go into idle sleep, which is the primary reason for battery drain.
Weatherbug could be set to detect your location or update the temperature way too often. I would look through the options and try to scale it back a bit. Once an hour for location and temperature update is usually fine.
Sirius XM could also be keeping your device awake. That's a large % usage for something you claim to not have opened or used yet.
I would uninstall both of these applications first and then evaluate your battery life and "Awake" reading. If the problem is resolved, then add each app back one at a time, making sure to start the app and go through the options to optimize it, and then re-evaluate your battery life and "Awake" reading again.

Thanks...
I've actually Turned Off YouTube and so far it seems much better. Getting more than two mins additional per percentage change. I will keep evaluating.
Anyone else had any issues with You Tube?

I'm not sure I'd agree with YouTube being the culprit, as it doesn't do any background tasks at all. It's probably safe to turn this app back on. More often than not, "Awake" and battery issues are caused by third-party apps.

Not really needed! Mine, without any power savings on, with 6 emails accounts and FB and whatsapp on, 4G LTE/WiFi on 100% of time, barely loses 2-3% overnight.

Battery life went to hell suddenly. A little investigation shows WiFi never turns off and seems to scan for networks every 3-5 seconds. I have all the options under advanced in wifi unchecked. This has only happened in last few days.

There should be one more option in settings that allows to check for WiFi networks even when WiFi is turned off.

That is shut off as well. Even turned on then back off just to make sure. problem is all the crap that google updates/changes even though you have updates etc turned off.

I am clueless about your issue now. I'm attaching the normal drain I see over night. See the status bar for incoming messages/mails, n the number of times phone was awake while I was sleeping, n see the battery line. I lost like 2-3% overnight from like around 1.30 am until 8 am.

Removed a few unwanted Google and Samsung apps and shutdown and restart, Now back to 3-4 days on stand by. Guess I will just have to do this periodically as updates turn stuff back on.

I solved this by turning auto update off, in Samsung store too.
