Sudden huge battery drain - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I was using galaxy gear for a week, and battery last about 1-2 days.
Today suddenly I have got huge battery drain, it went from 100% to 22% in 4 hours. During this period I received about 20 notification and 1 call, with duration about 3 minutes. No more actions with the gear. I suppose, there must be some app, which drains battery, but there is no way to look which one. I am on the latest firmware. Any suggestions what should I do?

Did you install a new app? Try just rebooting it if not. Some process may have gotten stuck.
Edit: are you using null rom or stock?

I am on stock (rooted) I have installed couple of apps yesterday evening . Yeap, I have restarted, now investigating if the battery still drains.

Change 'other usage' to 'partial wake usage' and see what's keeping the phone up.

use system panel and see which processes and apps are using your cpu. its a free app, but the paid version gives you much more options and shows you a list of each app that used your cpu. that's what you need.
btw, system panel is by far the best app for this on the market!

What ROM and Kernel are you on and how long ago did you flash to it (assuming it's a custom ROM)?
Reason I ask is that I had sleep issues with a ROM that was fine but somehow didn't flash well. Reflashing the same ROM over fixed my battery issues. This might not be what's going on with you just any bit of info can help when it comes to chasing down ghost CPU cycles/battery issues.
Also, did you recalibrate you battery yet? It could be an issue of your battery not getting charged to 100% or dying before <1%
Ok cool I just downloaded the free version do you think I should buy the paid version better?

Hi! I have cyanogem mod 6.1
0 running kernel 2.6.35
9 cyanogenmod shade @ toxygene #2
I flashed a while ago but it seemed ok then. I'm not 100 percent sure but it kinda seems the problem started when I did a backup and a restore. ;(

Galaxy Note not going idle?

Hi I think I'm having problem with my galaxy Note, I went for a meeting and leave it on my desk doing nothing and make sure that I turned off the display.
But when I came back it was so hot! It feels like it never went in idle or something.
Then I check on battery usage, it was on running on battery for about 5 hours. then this Android OS was also running for almost the same time. So I'm guessing that it didn't go to idle mode and consumed my battery significantly.
Then I remember, before going in the meeting I was reading my google reader feeds, and I just turned off/locked my screen without closing the app pressing the home button. Does it matter?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Not sure, but that could keep the Note from going to sleep, so use it some more and see if it still happens. If it does then you'll know, if it doesn't then install this and keep an eye on it (press menu and "App Sucker")
Ok. Thanks for the app suggestion!

I've used the badass battery monitor, for about 6 hours, the app said that kernel used 98% of the battery. Is this normal? I never used my note since I unplugged it on the charger with fully charged battery. And it drained 40%!! Even when I'm not using my galaxy note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Wow, no that's not normal. Mine says 3.2%. Are you rooted? What ROM do you use?
My note is not rooted... Only the stock rom I think. But I updated it when an update was available. My launcher perhaps? Keeps on draining my battery. This is really frustrating.
Any suggestions?

Battery drain

Hi guys,
Sorry to bother you but I need help.
Last night I went to bed and my note had a full charged battery. This morning I fpund it drained. I put my note in charge and tried a soft reset but when I switched it on it said: remove some app in the task manager because the continuous running apps while charging battery may drain it (or something like that, it's the first time I see it). Of course, tbe task manager is empty and there isn't any app running. What can I do?
I have stock rom, all updated and no root.
Thanks

[Q] Mediaserver taking between 60-80% of Battery

Hoping someone here can help me with an issue I keep having with my phone and no matter what I try, I cannot seem to solve this issue.
Last night, about 1am I went to bed, Phone was at 100% charge. This morning when I woke up, the phone was down to 58%. According to the power in settings, this is what has used the battery overnight.
Mediaserver 84%
Wifi 5%
Cell Standby 3%
Phone Idle 2%
Android OS 2%
Android System 2%
Screen 1%
Onavo Count 1%
I havent got an SD card in the phone and havent for over a week because I thought that might be the problem as others have said on here and I have next to no apps installed also so I cant figure out what is doing this
Im on android 4.1.2 and phone is not rooted. No further updates are available for me yet either over the air or connected to the PC via Sony companion software.
Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?
Did you leave your earphones plugged in?

Even though it's only been a day I'm getting the same problems with my ZR too
Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app
Ive not left my earphones in no and yesterday as a last resort I did a factory reset on the phone and Ive put no songs or hardly any apps on the phone and its still doing the same thing. Again, media server over night was responsible for over 50% of battery drain, this is 12 hours after a factory reset.
I give up with this phone now, it seems to spend more time plugged in on charge than being used

do you have lots of images on the phone? i used to have a similar problem with my s3. after i start up my phone i will let it sit for a while before i clear all my running applications. sometimes i do it before i hit the bed too. seems to help. not sure about XZ since i have not encountered such problem yet.
Its a completely clean factory reset from yesterday, so there are no images at all taken with the camera or stored, and no music/mp3s stored on the phone and no SD card attached either
just to double check, you are already on 4.2.2 right? I remember quite a number of people on 4.1.2 experience this problem (including me). most reported the problem was gone after updating to 4.2.2. i didnt get to try it myself as I sold my s3 even before 4.2.2 is officially out

No im still on 4.1.2. Thats the latest version available to me over the air or via PC companion (am in the UK) and am not sure I trust myself or if its easy to upgrade to the latest version any other ways
It's quite easy to fix though.
Just go to sound settings, and school down to the bottom. Disable all the checkboxes that are enabled.
That should get rid of that media thing in your battery stats

Wait for the second charge and check the mediaserver again.
If you upload and download videos or photos in whatsapp can cause this.
Download wakelock detector from playstore and post some screenshots.

Thanks for this, ill try it out now.
Well, it was almost back at 100% charge anyway so i installed wakelock detector, and did a reset. Once switched on, i let it time out and left it for two hours.
Just had a look now in the wakelock app and I have something which says:
AudioOut_3 - 2 hours 8 minutes x1 - thats pretty much the entire time my phone has been asleep. So i assume something is stopping my phone from properly sleeping. Plus in those two hours, my phone dropped from 100% down to 88% (Mediaserver responsible for 91% of the drain)
I have all phone sounds and vibrations off for keypresses and notifications etc.
All you can do is repairing your phone with sus or flash your phone with another firmware and try again.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Well, i upgraded to 4.2.2 yesterday, completely fresh install and charged my phone back to 100% again. Overnight, over 8 hours, phone again drops over 30% of the total battery, again, in the battery stats, nearly all due to media server. I got no idea what to do now

Ive not got any games installed on the phone at the minute and on the actual homescreen all i have is the google search bar and the weather app. Nothing else on there apart from the settings shortcut. Ive tried to be minimal in everything to try and track down what the issue is.
There is no music on the phone, no SD card installed and the phone is totally silent, no sounds, vibrations, nothing.
The culprit it seems again though, according to the wakelock app, is something called Audioout_3. Which has kept my phone awake for pretty much the entire night. but ive no idea what this is relating to
Maybe a faulty phone,send it back if you still have guaranty.

I'm having the same issue, like most threads I've searched for; I tried checking for any corrupt mp3s, pictures etc. I did multiple factory resets, Flashed CM10, Flashed Carbon ROM, even Stock ROM was useless. It's really beginning to frustrate me, doesn't anyone have a fix to this? Mediaserver battery drain threads have been going on since June 2012 or even before that!

Battery drain in custom rom 6.0.1

I need your help. I have problems with my N910T, it makes dias Dr Ketan install the rom rom based on 6.0.1, I did as I was in 5.1.1, turn off my Note all night and the next day had dropped about 20% load. Install another rom, with OvrDriVE and I also did the same. Now I install official 6.0.1 rom stock, I proceed to install NobleRom V3 which is very good rom and also reoccurs me the same battery drain while my note is off all night. Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions.

You need to give a ROM about 3-5 days to settle before the battery is life is at its peak. I recently flashed marshmallow and it took 4 days to settle. There was a big difference on the fourth day. I think doze takes a while to work.

Use the custom rom for a week or so, and the problem was the same, to turn my note all night the next day down around 10% charge my battery. I have 2 batteries are almost new and both the same thing happens

I have not removed any app, how rare in 5.1.1 me does not happen. 6.0.1 Stock not me in that problem happens drain
Use the wake lock detector app to see what's using to much battery or at least look in settings at the battery section to see what apps are using the most juice.
