Hi folks, I don't know if it's normal that the "android system" is taking to much battery, even if my phone is in stamina mode
As you can see is the most draining processes in my phone and I don't know why, all the apps seems to be alright and nothing is running in background in stamina mode, I only choose the three apps that I use most, Google, WhatsApp and Facebook.
I had search but I only get information about this issue about the Samsung galaxy, nothing according to my xperia Z, any help would be appreciated.
Regards

I've had that on my Xperia s, tx, t, z. Nearly all Sony phones are like that after a long period of use.
Im not 100% sure but turning off auto sync sometimes help and it may be the root of the problem.
I have a temporary fix and that is repairing it and start fresh again.
I rmb trying out a really really lite rom by curiosity for Xperia t and never had this issue. I don't know what did he removed, but he definitely removed quite a number of apks.
So conclusion, it's one of the system crap that must go and it might be the auto sync.
Its really funny how only a few people brought this up. I am currently having this issue on my z and I'm too lazy to start fresh.
And if I rmbed doomlord had this problem too, I dont rmb there was a solution to it. Too lazy to find the thread.

Indeed, I am not going to complain about the battery life because it's great, but if I can figure how to solve this issue I am pretty sure that the battery life will be awesome.
About the auto sync all the major apps are off, Twitter, facebook, localization and I am checking constantly all the apps trying to find where it's the problem
The only app that I have in sync is Google, calendar, contacts and gmail

I've had my z for about 2 weeks now. During that 1st week was fine. I leave sync on and everything on over night with stamina mode on. Next day when I wake up battery only drops 1%.
After a week of use, this problem started to appear, I have android system and android os hogging the battery. So I did the same test as above and the next day I ended up dropping 9-10%.

You should just turn off all sync. Go play store and find toggleswitcher for small apps.
There's a sync button to turn off all sync at once. So you don't have to do it individually and going to settings every time.

I am having that issue as well, in one week 120 mb and I don't know why, I think is related to the android system battery drain. Are we the only ones having this issues or nobody is noticing? Any clues?

Thank you, but I dont want to use any battery saver app instead the stamina mode, I read several blogs that those apps are more harmful than help, I am using the wakelock detector to find which app is draining my battery, so far the google plus and something about sony are the main objectives, tonight will post the review of the day

On my XZ it's the Google Services causing the biggest drain aside from the screen. BBS tells me it's the Event Log Service and Google Services Framework. Maps are greenified, Gtalk freezed, GPS deactived, Gmail and G+ uninstalled

After using my phone for almost 10 hours can notice that the android system stoped doing that thing about draining battery, so I installed wakelock and this are the results
I dont know why com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup takes so much awakes, I read here in XDA that I can delete this app without any issue at all
what do you think?

I managed to greenify google plus, and thats because I use it to instant uploads.
Download Titanium Back Up Pro from market
Go to apps and select the google plus app, at the menu select "convert to user app", then reboot
After that go to greenify and now you can take it away :victory:
PS Also deleted the com.sonyericcson.android.wakeup, so far so good, no more awakes

I have international 434 and the wifi is on, but the phone is deepsleep, the problem here is the android system, I dont know why but drains my battery pretty fast, almost 40% just the same as the screen 40%
any ideas what I have to delete or hibernate?
Im having like 10-15% battery drain through the night.
Only my gmail sync is on, and ofc wifi... But is it that stupid that it keeps phone awake for whole time because of wifi and mobile data? I mean, what the push is for then?
Just turn off WiFi or all sync over night.

When I got the phone my battery was pretty phenomenal (comparatively speaking). But it seems since I took the update that Sprint pushed out a few weeks ago, the battery can't make it more than a few hours with light/moderate use. Its really horrid to be honest. Hoping the eventual 4.2.2 OTA will fix this. But in the meantime I wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue and possibly help identify the source of the problem. (By the way I am not rooted)

Play Services is v 3.1.36 but the actual Play Store is v 4.1.10 which is said to "fix battery drain issue." Still seems to be draining pretty rapidly. Any fix you know of?
Can we see your usage stats?

The Play Store update should have also pushed Play Services, so yeah. Could we see your usage and also your app list/sync settings?
I'm in the same boat, even after the Google Play Store fix.
Seriously, we need usage stats.
Sorry, been working in home WiFi.
Hardly been using the phone since I still have my old Evo LTE and the battery is better on that.

Well, in fairness for the last week or so I've been charging the phone and leaving it in my room. The screenshot was after like a day and a half in which a hardly used it and had WiFi on.
By working on home WiFi I meant talking to ISP and bumping up speeds, for the second time in a week.
I'll post the graph when I get home from work or early tomorrow as the phone has been unplugged for about 20 minutes.

It won't hurt if you actually use it. Watching vids/playing games prevents blown up stats like that.
EDIT: Please, also include stats like screen time, awake time, cell reception, Wifi etc.
This was at work. I hardly use my phone at work fyi.

Dropped 25 ish percent in 6 hours? What seems to be the problem?
With your usage, that would give you a day. I'm happy with 11 hours.
But with no internet connection and hardly any use. It concerns me because usually it would drop 5 maybe 10%. It was great on sleep.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
OK, now that I think about it, you're right. I remember getting more than 2 days on standby with absolutely no use (on wifi).
A day with that kind of usage is really not that good. It's weird because your stats don't show anything odd. I'd like to see some moderate to heavy usage stats though. The kind you say gives you 5 hours. That would help more.
Here you go. About 50% gone in about an hour of use (on WiFi) mostly on YouTube/Twitter or music with regular use of ATK.

I'm having a serious battery drain issue with my Sprint One also, though I don't remember exactly when it started - it might very well have been that OTA update.
My battery drains when the phone is asleep. The phone will be dead in just over 24 hours from 100%, with less than one hour of screen usage. The integrated "usage" monitor shows that WiFi consumes this power , whether or not WiFi is in use. I have a paid task manager app that can track stats over time, and according to it, the processor appears to be running at ~15% constantly when the screen is off. I've tried disabling WiFi and having the phone sleep on just the cell network, to no avail. I first thought that perhaps the poor service at my house was causing it. However, I watched the battery drain at exactly the same rate when in an area with perfect coverage.
Here's the weird part - I tried airplane mode'ing my phone. Airplane mode doesn't seem to stop it. In fact, airplane mode seemed to accelerate the drain! I find it simply unacceptable that my phone will die like this with almost no usage.
I feel that the problem is not a rogue third-party app I have installed. I've used the "disable" option on Facebook, Twitter, and I've removed several other suspected apps. It makes no difference. I even suspected my task manager app; I tried removing it and looking at the integrated one, and there was no difference.

Check to make sure never auto turn on Wi-Fi is checked in Wi-Fi advanced settings. I was going to suggest poor reception since that kills my battery, but you mentioned trying airplane mode.
With screen off and nothing running, it's not surprising that Wi-Fi is the main battery drain. But it is too fast in my opinion too.

Since upgrading to 4.3 android system is taking a lot of battery and the phone won't deep sleep. I'm on stock 4.3 ge ROM and I wiped everything even SD card.
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this or if anyone knows the culprit.
I see NLP wakelock and nlpcollector wake lock but not too sure what apps or app is using this wake lock or how to track it down. Any help appreciated thanks.

Using wake lock detector. I'm under the impression they both do the same thing. Its happening on both my tablet (n10) and my phone...so weird..I guess I'll wipe and just not restore apps. I was just curious if anyone else was having these issues.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
with any app that uses location reporting you'll get the NLPwakelock. it is quite annoying but theres not much you can do about it. you can mitigate it by not using maps. or by turning off location sharing or unchecking "location & google search" under location options. that has helped my battery quite a bit.
just as a reference for my battery life:
total on time: 13 h
deep sleep: 10h11m
awake: 2h47m
screen on: 46m
wifi 2h50m
@73% battery. which i think is ok. have i had better yes. but 27% for 12 hours of standby and 45m of screen on. sure. if anyone else has any suggestions WITHOUT sacrificing autosync, maps, gmail, blinkfeed, and weather sync let me know!
Yeah I have android system as 42% usage. And strangely, gallery is at 44%..
Anyone else getting this ?

It's not just that, I restored my Nexus 10 and now the problem is gone but still happening on my HTC One, not sure what it could be, tired of restoring my phone lol. I deleted the HTC Debug app and that helped a little because that was part of the Android system usage, but I still have other stuff. Trying to narrow it down.

What are you using to check this? the built in battery stats or something like GSAM Battery Monitor?
I ask because ive been getting this on ALL 4.3 ROMs but it seems to be operating normally by looking at the third party app like GSAM. It makes no sense to me.
I am having the exact same problem on my HTC One 4.3. Stock battery app shows from 70%-95% of system usage. Downloaded battery doctor and it is coming from the Gallery app. I tried literally everything, from hard reset to disabling the Gallery app. I have been researching and trying to fix it all day, seriously driving me insane. I just switched to android, and I am trying my hardest not to regret it.
Any help would be very grateful.
I have the same problem as the OP, I'm using a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3. The problem is not that there are some wakelocks, the problem for me is that after using Google Maps the phone won't go into deep sleep at all until I reboot, it is all the time kept awake by this nlp wakelock.

Guys I have the c6603 model running 10.3..a.0.423...i live in india but got the phone from australia and its telstra branded. the phone has been running well until a few weeks back i started noticing the battery level going down faster than usual...i am not a heavy app user...and in the battery settings, i have noticed that "android system" is using up almost 70-80% of d battery...the rest like 'screen', android os etc. only 5-10%...this has resulted in the phone lasting hardly a day even on minimal usage. So, could anyone tell me why is the phone acting like this ? what could be the possible reason for the android system using this much battery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well. What i can suggest I have the same sort of issue. Disabled facebook app et al problem fixed.
Well if you want dig a bit deaper then instal app so called "wakelock detector "-> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
Hope it will help!:fingers-crossed:
I'm a quite heavy user. I hadn't ever turned stamina mode off since I got the phone. Been using it for a few days with stamina mode off and the battery seems to be way better. When there's a hour or more wherein I won't use the phone I put stamina mode on.

There is a problem with the latest google services framework so that it eats your battery as long as you have location services enabled. So deal with the battery drain or disable location services

Here is your answer! FB is an piece of **** coded app, that is useless on non-rooted phones (Greenify is an must for even using FB app so you can terminate the app after each session).
I had the same problem with battery. I deleted fb with titanium backup and installed friends caster. With location services on and green power premium. I have two days of juce now. No greenify or other apps just green power set to switch off data and WiFi at night and during the day switch it on for 1min every 30 min. Of course when the screen is on I have the data constantly on. No games just websites, music, Tapatalk, Gmail and phone calls plus occasional Facebook browersing using friends caster.

I have just received my phone back from the Sony Repair Centre and seem to be suffering the same issue only more acute. The battery drain is so fast that I can't even charge it unless it is totally switched off, even with the screen off a no apps running it will only charge 8% overnight and with the screen on that 8% will drain in a few minutes.

Newest stock or not?
I'm not sure, it's a C6603, if that helps. I only got the phone originally in about July and it stopped working, wouldn't switch on or respond to any input. They returned it to me working, albeit with the SIM missing, but it had 44% charge, so I put it on charge. It actually seems to be getting worse, I've now switched it off in an effort to get it to charge faster, but having been on charge for several hours it's only up to 56% from 22%, I would guess that's in 7 hours.
Attention!
Guys I just came across this battery issue with samsung s3 users. They have this file "gsiff_daemon" which is giving them battery problems same as ours. the file comes under the name of Android System. Have a look at it and read about it on google. They have a post about it on xda as well.
So I checked if I could locate it in our Z's and maybe rename it or do something, but I wasn't able to locate it even after using ES File explorer. Maybe it is present under some other name and is probably the reason our "Android System" is using up 70-80% of the battery life.
I request some advanced users here to look into the problem and see if they can help us.
Background process limit
Hi all,
Trying this (Background process limit), i think will work, because now i see a lot of more processes in background than in previous releases ( wasting our batery and internet conection..)
I had the same issue in upgrade in a previous release and i solved activating the limitation of background process .
I am trying this solution now
To limitated, go into developer options
Then the 2 option beggining by the end , Background process limit.
I have put 2 process at most

Please don't mess with the background process limit. It will have a negative effect on your phone's multitasking and will not increase battery life at all. In fact, it may decrease battery life because cached processes will be regularly removed from RAM and have to reload themselves.
The option is in the developer options for a reason. You shouldn't be touching anything in there if you don't understand what it is.
It's sad to see uninformed nonsense like that posted here when this is supposed to be a place for people to learn how their phone works. ?

its not about the software (as many forums try to imply): I went to a lab to replace the battery and now the phone works like expected. runs a full day. not few hours.

I installed the Sprint OTA kitkat upgrade last night. This morning, I started noticing that my battery was draining much more quickly than normal - 12 or more percent per hour with no usage, wifi on while in easy range of my home wifi (normally I see less than half this drain unless I am actually using to phone or off wifi). I've also noticed that the "receiving location data from GPS" notification icon keeps flickering on and off rapidly, sometimes almost constantly. I don't know if the two are related.
"Power Saver" is on, and battery usage shows 87% for "Android System".
Anyone else seeing this?
I've just tried turning Location Services off to see if that has any effect.

Update: it's definitely Location Services. After turning it off, my "idling" battery utilization dropped to about 3% per hour. What gives?

Yes this is a know issue when using gps/wifi for location. Try using only mobile network for location unless you need gps for maps.

Known problem for the HTC ONE in general, or known problem for the HTC ONE with kitkat? I've had the ONE for 9 months, use the GPS extensively (so Location Services is always on and enabled for GPS) yet I never had this problem until upgrading to kitkat.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
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...

Install/run AppOps and disable location permissions for Google Play Services and any other app that you think doesn't need location permission.
