This morning I noticed that my NS suffered a heavy slowdown in web page rendering, got laggy keyboard and the whole system was draining battery like hell! So I opened the "show CPU usage" tool that figured out that the "Facebook.katana" process was using a HUGE part of the CPU. I FC'd it and everything went right as usual... anyone else suffering from this kind of bug?
Yes, It Happened to me too. FC seems to fix it. I'm now not getting any push notifications from the app. Are you?
I have this installed
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite
And Facebook kept popping up from time to time for overcpu utilization.
I found it best just to use another application, Facebook s app has always been the suck

I use the browser as it doesn't suck like the apps.
That watchdog app is a lifesaver!
i will install watchdog and see what happens... thanks
tho, the fb app worsens day by day...
lately I realise one thing, if I use the back button on the FB app, seems like it will not trigger the watchdog, however it will if I use the home button to "quit" the facebook app.
This app is not mine and I am not affiliated with the developer in any way. Greenify is the main thing I've used to save battery life. It does require root to do so. Apps like YouTube, maps, facebook, etc, periodically wake your phone from sleep to "sync." What Greenify does is allow you to pick and choose user installed apps (so yes, delete or move maps / Facebook from system) to be forced into hibernation upon screen off. Facebook in itself is a battery hog so I'd suggest Fast Facebook to clear that up.
In my screenshot, I'm rocking 70% battery life with moderate usage because of Greenify.

Thought it was working but my constant use of Twitter on LTE always prevails at draining battery.

Can we get a list going of recommended apps to use with this?

I use all but the ones I want to be able to sync ie Facebook, nova launcher, power toggles and yab.

Remove Google maps and then installed from market to make it a user app. And then hibernated it. That saved a crap ton of battery for me right there. Also hibernated anything else that said it might be running and using battery.
I've tried disabling location reporting in Google maps, I've frozen the HTC weather app. Turned off locations in facebook messenger and facebook app.
I still can't get rid of this dam battery draining wake lock. Any ideas?

Hi. This wakelock won't amount to much over the course of a full charge. I wouldn't worry about it.
If you're absolutely paranoid about it, is it possible you have location turned on in camera?
over an entire day it does amount to around 10-15% battery loss.
I've switched off all location dependant apps like facebook messenger, camera, twitter, weather and anything else i can think of. After doing a bit of searching it seems to be a JB problem that affects Nexus devices too:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ga...ps-battery-drain-post-jellybean-settings.html
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34458
only way round is to totally disable location reporting in settings
Can someone figure out what's wrong and give me a solution ASAP.
If you go into setting and then into the apps folder, you can click on and stop and then disable any apps you don't use, their is a guide somewhere that gives a list of apps you can stop, as you don't want to disable a critical system app, maybe somebody know where it is.

yeah if I could get a link to that guide that would be great
Download Greenify from the Play store. After installing simply add those offending apps (Google Maps is key example of one) to the greenify list within the app and it will suspend activity from that app when you exit and thus it won't produce any wakelocks.
Most effective tool I have ever used for controlling wakelocks and improving battery life.

Im not rooted,and do you think google now is the real problem because since the recent maps update I haven't seen "maps" listed as a wakelock.
I found the list for the one x, but i am sure there is one for the one m7 somewhere.

I don't use Now because I did find it was a big drain on the battery. Also if I remember correctly with Now enabled it would turn on the gps at regular intervals to record your location even if the user has GPS turned off.
Also personally, I feel that you should root any android device that has an easy root method and can be reset back to stock. With this phone, it is easy to do both.
A bit of a list for the One M7 here.

Was almost about to start a new thread until I saw this one. This is a screenshot from yesterdays battery but do my wakelocks look excessively high? I just downloaded the wake lock app I can't really post screens of that the data wouldn't be too accurate but here are yesterdays wake locks.
What would you recommend. I am about to download greenify now

Those wakelocks are off the charts compared to mine for a day. Which rom are you running? I guess you may have Google Now active as your google stuff is crazy. If you don't use them you should remove or freeze: Twitter, facebook, hangouts, google+
Greenify will help for sure. In a full day ~18 hours, I usually have about 500 application wakelocks (same report from GSam) and over 300 of them are my corporate email client. Android system and Google Services are about 100 per day.
Greenify really helps, but a good custom rom/kernel combo is the key.
I use ViperOne and ElementalX kernel and I overclock CPU to 1.9 and GPU to 450 and I have best battery life I have ever had on the One with any rom. I easily can go 28 hours of medium use with about 5+ hours of screen on time in a single charge.

Yeah the Google services wakelocks really do look crazy high how do I know what apps to greenify. I honestly have a minimal amount of apps as my phone is still pretty new and havent gotten all my apps downloaded.
I cannot remember if I had Google now on for that day or not but now I have it turned off and am about to get greenify. As you can see I was only getting 12 hours away from the charger and I think the wakelocks are maybe what were preventing me from getting closer to ~19 I am on viper 1.2.1 stock Kernel

I don't know which wakelocks you're getting with GS, but I was getting some bad location related wakelocks. I use Google Now and turning off Location Services altogether wasn't an option. So what I did, after searching the BBS threads was to force stop and clear data on these apps:
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Maps
Google+
Then I deleted my Google account and signed back in. Whatever was going on, that did the trick.
I m using Sony Xperia TX my drained in 8 hrs, i m using android JB 4.1.2 the android system taking above 50% of battery.
Can anyone help me ???
Thanks.
An Amateurs guide to Battery Saving
1. Disable everything that you do not currently need, such as
- Wifi
- Data connection
- GPS
- Rotation sensor
- Synchronisation, auto-location
- Don't use widgets especially not those which need constant updates
2. Delete / uninstall everything not needed, such as
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Timescape and all it's connectors to email, FB, Twitter, etc
- Gmail (use Email, no need to use Gmail)
- de-install all other Google bloat, such as Now, Hangouts, etc.
Root your phone and uninstall the above and more. Basically get rid of all Sony and Google bloatware. Or alternatively, learn how to flash another already trimmed Rom.
3. Disable everything you may need but you are not sure yet (that's in settings\apps). Install Greenify (download from Google Play), greenify apps that you downloaded.
4. Find a replacement for Task manager WITH option to close all programs at once
5. Generally, switch off auto-functions and use your phone manually, and don't install things which you think only you could use.
6. When you are ready trimming your phone and adjusting it to your needs, charge the battery to 100 % + 2 h. By using the phone normally allow it to deplete the battery uninterrupted, until the phone switches off itself. Repeat a second time. Afterwards the device is calibrated to your usage and battery. By far the biggest battery user will be your screen. Usage values in between 40 - 60 % are normal. At this stage it does make most sense getting used to a somewhat dimm screen. Therefore it does not make much sense to be too obsessed with software battery saving methods.
7. A last tip:
- Don't charge your phone always to 100 %. Charge it to somewhere above 90 %, and let it run down to 20 - 10 % before the next charge. Do a 100 % charge only occasionally.
thanks
thanks dude

With stamina mode on, your phone should last a day, at least. But if you keep toggling your phone all the time, 8 hours is good.
Running it 2 hour screen on..cpu speed is 384-12xxmhz but battery cant even last..im just using whatsapp for the first hour and the rest I use to fb and web surfing,does browsing in desktop mode consume more battery??

There's a thank button for a reason.
Use an app called Greenify and hibernate any apps that can potentially reduce battery life. Facebook is an example.

Alarm Manager drain can be avoided by always closing all applications with the back key (not with the home key, as some users do)
Try it, might work!

It is not the alarm manger itself which does this, but connected apps and widgets, I think. It can be Google Talk. Or if you have Google syncing constantly enabled, in particular in the instance one of the sync services can not complete it's task bcs it's broken, that causes big battery drain. Or if you have a weather widget which updates frequently especially if it can not bcs you have no data connection. Look for all these things and switch off what you don't need, disable non essential notification, remove hungry widgets or try another one that just keeps the last data displayed as long as there is no connection or shows "no connection", and not keeps on trying. Many apps also offer the possibility to set the auto-update frequency. For example updating a weather app more often than every 2 h does not make much sense.

Mobil mode uses about 50 - 100 Mb for my websites, I observed desktop connection uses 200 Mb and more. Sure that will effect battery drain at least indirect.

Everything you mentions is off or disconnected.
data connection off, no sync services in background,
Disabled Google apps, talk, hang out ect.
Weather apps updates every 12 hours or unless I manually do it by switching on data connection or wifi..
Then wifi / data connection is off
cheers
