[Q] Any app which shows which app is eating battery?

HI Guys
I see some spikes in the current usage from battery pro but does not say why or which apps is using it.Is there some way to find it out?I know the battery use in settings. ut it does not count the widgets power draw and most applications.
Thanks

You could try CurrentWidget, it has a log function.

Thanks,yes it does have a log.However it does not tell whcih app was using the power,right?

closest ive come to such thing is Spare Parts or Spare Parts plus, which doesnt tell u the app but what consumed battery say :
Partial wake usage
or CPU
or network
other than that, ive read that Battery Monitor Widget & Process Monitor Widget were supposed to merge together at one point of day, to identify what process actually used mAH of battery but i think thats not done, yet
i could be wrong

PowerTutor gives some info on power usage by app

its simple to know about, use any application like taskmanager to view opened applications and see how many percent the processor is using to run it, more the percent is, more the battery will be consumed.
its not a final solution but you can consider it like a tip.

I use Drain-O-Meter. It lists top to bottom which apps are using the most battery.

Is drain o meter in the market? I can't see it

*backup* (Android System) - eating up my battery; what is it?

Check out the attached screen shot. That's from Better Battery Stats. Whatever it is, it's eating up my battery. Battery life has been half what it used to be. Any idea what *backup* is and how to keep it from running all the time?
Also, I installed Nitrodesk Touchdown and used it for email on my exchange account for awhile, but it didn't improve the email delay issue so I reduced it from push email to polling once every 24 hrs., but it's still running a lot. Any idea how to reduce that?

You may have enable option 'Keep backup of android device' while adding google account, just disable it

Thanks, that was it. I disabled it and froze Nitrodesk Touchdown, and my battery life shot up. Like 35 hours instead of 15.

I have the same issue on my I9100. How can I disable the backup function afterwards?
Edit: Found it

Hah! I love that. It is a setting to send all your passwords to Google, and it is under 'Privacy'!
Luckily I automatically unchecked that when I set up the account. I mean, seriously, rely on their security? What kind of security plan is that for anyone to adopt?

Does the Google backup really use a noticeable amount of battery? I like the convenience of it, but I'd turn it off for better battery life.

should i uncheck both options?
Back up my data
Automatic restore
i didnot understand the use of Automatic restore. when we update apps, we get our old data back. if i uncheck this will i lose saved data from older version?
edit: both options were checked for me. i unchecked it immediately. any other such hidden settings i might have missed? hope the battery life increases now.

Once you uncheck first option, other will disable automatically. B'coz if it dont backup your data, there is no question to restore it.
With this unchecking you wont lose anything right now. it is for next use, In case of you hard reset, it will restore some data automatically, in case of you have enable it.
But better you can use titanium backup or mybackup pro to do this n make schedule to backup at desired time. It won't kill your battery by sync all the time.
I never enable this function.

Had this same problem with my S3, unchecked the boxes after reading this. Is the something we can freeze in Titanium backup aswell? All i can see is /system/app/backuprestoreconfirmation
out of 7 hours on time it kept my phone awake for 5 of them! its mental.

Just unchecked the backup option. Note that google doesn't back up you phone constantly, it only happens a few times a month.
But why take chances?

Does this option interfere with the contact back-up from my gmail adress ?

These wakelocks are a major issue in all androids...
I had these wakelocks with my Motorola Milestone (because of WiFi, GPS, ...) and now on the Note with several ROMs. It should not be so easy for a userspace app to raise such a lock ... maybe some developer can write an app that notifies the user if the device does not sleep? And, even better, ask for killing and deinstalling the misbehaving app, if possible, even from the market...

There is an app already for that.. I'm not sure if it had been suggested already before but it is called CpuSPy (look for it in google play). What the app simply do is to monitor in the background and constantly you can tap on it and see if your phone is in a very deep sleep or not (it has a bar to determine how much or how little your phone goes into deep sleep). Also you can try to install Betterbatterystat(also from google play) to see which app or apps are causing the wakelocks on your phone. After you've verified those 'misbehaving app/s', then that'll be the time you can uninstall /remove it for yourself. Killing it won't do any good at all, because the moment you restart your phone, the said process/app would simply start back again as well. You need to really uninstall it thru Titanium backup.
On the side note. I don't think there will ever be an app that you can automate to uninstall any 'misbehaving apps' in your phone as Google generally has laws on it, governing some stance that says something to the effect as "no apps can be allowed to violate or remove other apps on the phone automatically". It would still be the user's discretion to manually uninstall those rogue apps by himself on his phone.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers!

What does the "data" mean here? Like Titan Backup?
But every time I flashed a new ROM, it seems like I still need to retype my WIFI password and no app data was restored

[Q] Calender battery usage very high !

Hello All,
I am facing a high battery drain in my device, when i opened the battery usage, i found that Calender is taking around 32% being second to the display, i stopped all kinds of Syncing but still the calender battery drain is at 25%.
I am not sure what happened, i was using the syncing-on for most of the applications and the calender was not even listed in the battery usage.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

btw, when i click on the calender, i get the following stuff under "included packages" :
HTC Media uploader
HTC sense
Flicker
HTC weather sync provider
Customization settings provider
weather provider
customization setup
com.htc.dcs.service.stock
weather agent service
open sense plugin manager
connect to PC
calender
peep
dcs utility component
friend stream
com.htc.provider.settings
calendar storage
htc location service
stocks
facebook for htc sense

I think that as you have posted it is just what is shown in the battery stats and the actual battery usage is taken up by all the other things relating to HTC sense. Not just the calendar

If your usage pattern haven't changed and you've noticed increased battery drain then check out the games you were using (if any). Some games (even well developed ones) can continue running in the background and drain you battery pretty fast. Haven't noticed this behaviour with apps though.

I searched here and there and found that the calender issue is somehow common, it is usually around endless loop of syncing trials for calender from the phone that causes a high battery drain, but its not confirmed as a root cause.
I tried different suggestions but nothing worked for me, had to perform hard reset, reconfigured everything and the issue is gone, till now at least.

What is up with these wakelocks?

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.

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.

P20 Pro, Clt-L09 8.1.0.156(C432-Patch03) Battery Drain

I have P20 Pro with Clt-L09 8.1.0.156(C432-Patch03).
I have done some settings to block background applications.
But, these apps seem to be always active in background, and eating battery:
chrome, Google play services, Google play store, huawei home, gallery and swiftkey keyboard...
Are there any different way to stop them...
P. S. : My phone is not rooted...

if you want more control then you need root and magisk.

If my phone was rooted, what was the solution?

Just make a factory reset. Been there done that and afterwards battery life was great again

I always go the extra mile when disabling apps. If you go into the app's settings and click data usage, you can restrict the data an app uses in the background. Also, disable all permissions for any app you do not use.

I will try. Thank you very much.

always on display really really kills my battery life, so i've lived with it being disabled. and now i remembered this phone's really one big flaw

Also, another important thing I want to add. I charge my phone overnight with a 0.85mA charger. It really seems to last a lot longer. Currently I am running the phone for 29 hours and I have 26 percent on it remaining, according to the stats. No in-between charge whatsoever. All animations turned off from developer menu and no facebook app, just browser.

Me2 just typical: The bad wolf is: Google services...7-15 % battery.. .. Usal max 1-2!
