I converted my HTC One into a Google Edition, and I'm not running 4.3 (clean wipe and flash). "Android System" is now misbehaving though, and I have absolutely no idea what the problem is. My battery life has also dropped. What's odd though, is that when looking at the statistics for "Android System," which is consuming 61% of the battery, it says that it's total up-time is merely 5:30s. I have a friend who's phone recreates a similar situation. Any help? I have Wakelock Detector but that's not showing anything out of the ordinary either. Thanks.

I came across this article http://www.androidcentral.com/new-google-services-uses-more-battery-old-and-google-needs-fix-battery-screen-already that explains a little of what's going on. I still feel the battery is draining a bit faster but, then again, I've been flashing ROMs quite frequently over the past week.

Haven't experienced any battery issues. I got the 4.3 update oTA but I don't think that has anything do with this. Try to see which apps are causing this.

I did the HTC One GE conversion with the 4.2.2 and the received the OTA.
I've also had some strange behaviour. I'll post some screens.
The battery seems to be draining fast, but worse are the stats which seem crazy.
Any idea?

Did you ever figure out how to fix it? I wiped my phone and reflashed the 4.3 ROM but I'm having the same issues still. I can't figure out what it is.
If you don't use your phone a ton, and there's no apps draining the battery while its sleeping, what's going to take up the most battery?
Android system.
Nothing's changed other than the way the system reports battery usage.

Of course, but even when my screen-on time was near 2 hours, it still remained like this. Trust me, I've considered everything.
I've also been experiencing this since I got to 4.3. I thought something was wrong so I got back to 4.2.2 with ARHD 13.4, then the android system went down to 20%. In 4.3 22.0 ARHD, its always aound 80+%.

+1.. Sense 4.3 (OTA) Android System > 70%
Has still nobody figured this out? It's clearly a problem with 4.3 itself, and not just the Google Edition, because people receiving the 4.3 Sense OTA have similar symptoms.
I have the same problem.
I doubt some app's battery usage now are count into android system such as music player. I used it at least half an hour today, but it doesn't appear in my power list.
I have this too, the problem is it seems to be mis-categorizing which is which. My screen time was around 2 1/2 hours, yet the screen was showing as having used like 2% of my battery yesterday (That's some *AMAZING* technology there).
I'm figuring what's happening here is the my Ingress which should be around the 5% mark is being labelled where the Play Services is, Screen should be where Ingress is, and Play Services where Screen is... It's like the three have been rotated. The actual raw stats then for each are accurate, like how long Ingress has kept the phone awake for etc, and how long my screens been on, and actual batterylife is still consistent, just they're all out of order.
Here's what it looks like today:

https://docs.google.com/a/c2s.co.nz/file/d/0BxtKTqslmyySdEVSTE5RSmpZa2M/edit?usp=sharing
8 minutes of Ingress does not use 85% vs the screen on using 2%
Still, no ideas of the cause, nor any ideas for a fix
Another sufferer here - HTC One standard with GPe conversion
I've this problem with my phone too!
I hate this draining...
i have the same problem..
So I managed to stop this on my device.
In the acount settings for my Google account, I disabled App Data sync.
With my usage I havent noticed any adverse effects across my 2 android devices (this HTC One GPe conversion, and a 2012 Nexus 7).
Android System is now using 15% of my battery.
Question
Hello there guys i am also having this android system on my htc one i just updated to 4.3 but i had the same problem before it so i mean i had it on 4.2.2 i did everything i read on the internet but i cant fix i would appreciate it if someone has found a solution :crying: kinda tired of this buggy android or whatever it is before that the battery percentage was like 1 or 2 % every day its like 10% now or even more sometimes
Same problems as you guys! Recently updated to 4.3 and Android system uses >70% every day.
Same problem here, Android system stays on top no matter I use the phone or not....

Hi,
the title basically says it all: Since the 4.3 Update, my HTC One suffers from severe battery drain. Before the update the battery would last 2 days easily. Now however, around noon of the second day, the battery is down to almost 5%. Especially over night it now goes down 10-15% where before the update it only dropped by 2% or something over night.
I have installed a battery monitor (Batterystatsplus) and noticed that the app "HTCBackupReset" seems to drain the battery and causes wakelock. I can't seem to deactivate this app. Any ideas/solution/people having the same issue?
If you want to squeeze more battery life out of your phone install the ElementalX kernel and leave the settings on default. My battery went from lasting barely a day (12 hours), to lasting for almost a day and a half (18 hours). Although it might not make your battery last for two days every little bit counts.
(Wow, I sounded like I was marketing a product then lol)

The built-in battery saving mode gets me enough battery life. At least it did until with the 4.3 update said "HTCBackupReset"-App started to drain the battery bad!
I do not want to install other kernels or stuff like that. Iam on stock unrooted and want to stay there. But I want to know if there's a way to get rid of this app or deactivate it. Otherwise I will try contacting the HTC support which will, of course, have no effect at all.

Its probably just the htc auto backup and it's been set to back up daily or something... Try removing your HTC account from the accounts and sync menu

I contacted HTC support. They said factory reset is all that would help. Did that and battery life is awesome now (three days straight with moderate usage!).
Try contacting the support and bother them with the problem. They need to know there is something wrong with the software.
Oh btw after resetting there was some of the Google services causing wakelock again - a reboot fixed this.

I already made a factory reset in the last hour and re-configured my phone. I still got the same problem
The app that drains the battery is now called "UDove" and before it was "com.qualcomm.privinit". Their all in the same process as "htcbackupreset"
I think i have to contact htc support, too...
EDIT: contacted HTC support and they said i have to send in my phone for repair. Are they stupid? This happened after android 4.3 update, how could this now be a hardware problem?
Have you any suggestions what else i can do? Do you backup your phone with either google or htc account? Did you configure anything different before and after reset?
Hi guys,
So I got the 4.4 update a few days ago, and I immediately noticed that Android System was using more power than usual. I was told to let it settle, but it didn't change. It used to be around 5% on a normal day, but now it's around 40%. I used to get a good 17 hours out of my phone with 4.3, but now it's done at around 14 hours, which is worse than 4.2!
Here's a link; maybe the problem is with KitKat? http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-4-kitkat/343853-android-os-battery-drain-4-4-2-a.html
I took some screenshots, hopefully you can see something wrong with my phone.
4.3 (Before):
4.4 (After):
I contacted HTC, and they asked me to keep it in Safe Mode for 24 hours and see if that helps.
I know I'll get better battery life, because 75% of usage is of apps that are "third party."
So, anyway, I'll see what happens when I don't use my phone for anything at all except browsing, BlinkFeed and texting.
Mine is doing the same thing. Battery life is awful

Same here, only for me I am losing about 12% per hour with wifi on (vs about half that before the update). The other thing I've noticed is the "location receiving" notification icon flashing like crazy. I am pretty certain that the culprit is KitKat Location Services. If I turn that off the battery life goes back to how it was pre Kitkat. Unfortunately this is a terrible way to fix the problem, especially if you are a GPS user!
The answer, at least in my case, was a hard reset. I did that, reinstalled my apps, and the GPS / battery issue has gone away. I was also having other intermittent weird issues that have gone away since reinstalling. I guess the upgrade must have corrupted some things...

Kitkat works quite well on my nexus7, battery usage dropped only 15% after i wathed 1.5h movies in nexus7. But for htc one kitkat, the battery performances awful. So, i guess it may be HTC's problem, not Kitkat.
I have attached a screen dump of my HTC ONE Battery Monitor!
I have S-off, rooted, Converted to GPE 4.4.2 RUU, CID GOOGL001, Bulletproof 11.0 Kernel for GPE 4.4.2, cleared all caches before install of RUU, All Sync-OFF, Google Now uninstalled, Locations OFF.
The thing is that I have decent battery times, but one thing that irritates me is that the built in battery monitor seems to show fake results.
I can stream, talk, play games, use other apps, and so on, but still the monitor shows that Android System is the number one batterydrainer!
I have tried everything that I can come up with, but nothing has worked! (Even tried batterycalibration).
Anyone here who has the solvation to this annoying problem?

I looked at the thread, but no solution, because i still have good battery life, no drains, just weird batterystats, unlike many others.
I unistalled fused locations, CIR Module, and HTC function test, after reading a little bit about them, this is little of a gamble, but after reboot, the system and all the apps seems to work flawlessly.
The only thing remaining in android system now, is android system, setting storage, setting and input devices.
Also installed GSAM for monitoring.
Will post here if I get any positive results(or negative).
I just updated my GPE to 4.4.3 and this finally seems fixed. The screen usage is actually showing higher than 2% all the time. It seems that HTC either forgot to screw it up (like they do on all their Sense versions and past GPE) or they fixed it based on user complaints. I still don't understand why they felt users didn't need to know how much battery the screen used.

Hi guys,
After updating from a March nightly to the latest Cyanogenmod nightly I've been experiencing the worst batterylife I have ever had!
I mean, seriously. Charge it up at night, place it by my bed and it's completely dead in the morning!
So it loses 100% battery overnight, with no usage whatsoever
I've tried beanstalk (Also Cyanogenmod based) and experienced the exact same issue. A full wipe and a brand new Cyanogenmod update and it's exactly the same.
I really can't return to stock as I'm making use of a lot of Cyanogenmods features.
The wakelocks are:
As reported by BetterBatteryStats:
Msm_hsic_host
And also a msm_camera wakelock poped up at the top of the list once.
Needless to say "Android OS" tops my battery usage screen with over 90% usage
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Anyone know a fix?
I'm basically without a phone right now

I've got the same issue here, but for me it's caused by Google services. At times my battery drains within 4 hours, even if I don't use the phone.
But at some times (most of the times) the phone just acts normal.
Before 4.3 I never had this problem, waiting for 4.4, hope that my problem will be gone. Else I'll just go back to 4.2
Aha! Success!
I have found the issue, I'll post it here if anyone else is having the same issue. Not sure if it'll help you though Dsteppa as your problem seems slightly different to mine
Although I would recommend "freezing" google maps as a starting point. See if that helps! Many android devices suffer from a similar problem, chances of it helping you is about 70%. If you're rooted it's relatively easy to do using apps from the playstore
Msm_hsic_host is used to "mount" the 3g modem as a usb device.. At least that's what I've gathered from various sources. Some phones have a kernel issue which stops the modem from being "unmounted" when data sending/receiving has been completely and thus drains the battery.
Turns out Msm_hsic_host was working as intended. It was actually an app which was apparently steaming data in real time, forcing the 3g modem to remain at full power and preventing the phone from sleeping. The unusual thing is that this app claimed it only consumed less than 3% and didn't even show on Better Battery Stats!
Uninstalling the app instantly solved my battery power issues! So for anyone experiencing similar issues, check for any apps which could be using "realtime" streaming; Such as third party Twitter / Facebook or even Email apps.
Hope this helps!
Hello everyone,
I have been using a Xperia Z1 for around last 6 months and updated to Lollipop 5.1.1 two months ago. Everything was fine until last week when my phone started to get affected by the battery bug.
The phone works fine and the battery gets discharged in leaps. For example, when I use the phone from 100%, it goes down in the usual way, let's say for 1 hour usage it drops up to 90% which is quite normal. But, when lock the screen and keep it idle for sometime and when I take it back, the battery has dropped a leap, usually by 10-15%.
Yesterday, I was using the phone normally and kept it idle for the entire night and battery has been dropped only from 85% to 79% without stamina mode. That's good. However, when I restarted the phone in the morning, the battery suddenly dropped to 18%. :crying:
I tried calibrating the battery, charging/discharging cycles and removing batterystats.bin. But, the issue is still here.
I think my phone has been affected by the famous Xperia battery bug in Lollipop which means that my battery is damaged. But, before replacing the battery is there anything else that I could do to overcome the issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
+ My phone is rooted on stock 5.1.1 (14.6.A.0.368) with XZDualRecovery and locked bootloader. If I repair the phone with PCC will it cause any harm or bricking since because of the customer recovery?
Claiming warranty is out of option since the phone has been rooted and flashed with custom recovery.
I don't know why people call it a lollipop bug. There will be a time a battery reaches its end of live. That's what has hit you right now. Your descripte symptoms are from a dying battery. I have seen some dying battery's from me or friends. The battery was holding the charge normally and suddenly no more.
Replace it and all should be fine again.

But, can this happen on a phone that is just 7 months old? Thats what makes me to think that this could be a bug.
I have the same issue, but mine drops to 0% and after waiting some time and booting it the percentage is back up. I have my phone for 2 years now, and the problem appeared in Lollipop also.

It's okay for a 2 year old phone as Lithium batteries wear out with time. In my case, it's kinda disappointing...
So, after searching the entire Internet, I can understand that this is a common issue with Xperia Z1 and Z1 compact and replacing the battery seems to be the only possible solution. I searched EBay for a battery but couldn't choose a good quality one. Can someone guide me on this please?

Your battery is definitely dying and it has nothing to do with roms. Get a battery that the seller claims to be OEM. That's your best bet...

Don't think that it will resolve your problem.
I changed my internal battery about one month ago and when two weeks passed I started to experiment the same bug ? again
It's not only hardware problem, it also software problem, I believe.

You are correct becouse I experience som drops in the range of 5-20% in less than a minute and once 30%. All the time while the phone was in standby mode except once where it did it right in my face (10%). My battery status is reported being fine. I also forced shutdown the phone as per the calibration method for non-rooted phones. Though I did notice dalvik cache wasn't rebuilt and so there is no way to have it refreshed manually except system updates which does this.
Anyway I did remove some apps and did some changes and after this I have not had any sudden drop for weeks. Two of the apps where Truecaller and Facebook official app. Will check though if it was a third one to. I believe one of these or both where playing havok. Especially the Facebook app as it takes liberties I find suspicious, is buggy, can crash the kernel (any app that can do that is doing shady work IMO) and had the addition of a "Video Player" service that was running permanently after you launch the FB app once. I instead use Metal for Facebook now. Pretty much same experience, only 10MB RAM used instead of 90MB and no batter y drain either or any other problem. So in short I believe one of these where the culprits and since many use the FB app that might be the one playing badly with Sony Z1 system.
And If you use Adguard also check if there are apps getting high ratio of ads blocked (or analytics data blocked). Might be some dont get proccessed right in the battery system due to it calculating it wrong. Google Frameworks, Google Contacts, Play Services, Mobilestorage Checker and a few more I disabled the ad filtering for. Though this did not change the battery drop problem previously. It only went away when I uninstalled named apps above.
