Hi. I'm curious after update zr to kitkat the android system use my battery 14~20%. I did the hard reset once but the battery usage still very bad. The Google service only use 6%. If I not mistaken during JB 4.3 the android system usage about 5%. Look like the android system killing my battery. Not the goggle service as many kit kat user faced. I'm root and location service disabled. Anyone having same issues?
Same
I have the same problem
Same here. Wake locks setups aren't helping much. So there is something going on in the background. Bad very bad!

I recently put S7 on my phone. The battery life is now less than 6 hours with low usage. I checked the "SystemPanel" app and do not see anything that is taking up the power. The settings menu for battery usage show 33% currently on the display, 16% on voice calls. Maps at 12% and so on.
I used to be able to go all day without an problem. I have ordered an extended battery but would be nice to know what is causing this.
Does anyone have any tools or ideas on what I can check?
Is the Android OS battery usage high on the list ?? If so, this is a known issue within the 2.3.3 Gingerbread. A simple reboot will fix the problem. And after u reboot if u look at the battery usage the Android OS will still be high on the list because the usage list doesn't reset with a quick reboot. But just give it an hour or so and u will see the Android OS usage going down.
Also the Google Maps has a known issue of running in the background even after u close it. U can freeze it in Titanium Backup. Or some have reported that the latest update for Maps has not continued to run in the background and drain the battery.
My battery has started draining really fast after the lollipop update and it's the "Android OS" that's taking always up most the battery.
Also the mobile radio is always active.
Is that suspicious?
On kitkat I never had Android system use up more than display
Is this normal?

Same for me and I run retail EU. Android OS eats up more than 20%. After OTA update I have reset to factory via recovery, but it did not work. I also have an XT1032 (Moto G 1st Gen) still running KitKat. Top consumers are Standby and Screen, as expected.
Around the net, I see solutions like disable location and this and that. Well, reducing your phone's usability to get around an obvious bug is a workaround at best. Right?
I've heard mixed reports regarding the latest ota update, some users have complained about the battery running dry in a much shorter time others reported apps crashing much more frequently. What do you guys think? Have anyone upgraded? Share your experiences please

I do not know about the OTA update, but I think the cause of the battery drain is more due to the applications installed on the device. For example after I upgraded to Lollipop (MaximusHD) my battery was draining ridiculously fast. Turns out it was the Gmail - INBOX application which was causing it. I would suggest clearing your device and checking the battery. Then slowly adding applications and testing it. Will definitely help you figure out the cause of the drain. Cheers.

thanks man, I think I'm gonna do a full reset after upgrading. should fix everything.
so your battery is now lasting more than it used to with android 4.4.3? I'm asking bc I've heard that android lollipop it's more battery friendly u know.
Well it has improved. But not drastically!. . Though I should mention my device is 2 years and a few months old, and I haven't really taken good care of my battery. I charge it overnight nearly every other day. But taking all that into consideration it gives me oddly 12 hours with normal usage. And 6 hours on a heavy day!
Used to get around 6 hours on heavy usage and 9-10 hours on moderate usage when i was on kitkat !! .
How do you like lollipop so far?
I have upgraded to Lollipop (5.0.2) and generally it is fine. Battery life is about the same, speed is also about the same.
I do have a question for anyone who has upgraded.. have we lost our ability to use the "Ok Google" Call command? It used to work on Kit Kat but now it comes up with my password prompt (pattern lock) before the phone dials out. I use this occasionally when I am driving.
Is this a new security measure in Lollipop or am I missing a setting on the phone?
Thanks in advance.

After updating to 9.1.0.252 I noticed faster battery drain. Did any of you experience the same behavior? I'm thinking to go back to 9.0.1.
Thanks
I feel the same

Don't forget that our device/battery is getting older with every update?.
It might look like new but mine is already 2 years in use.

I noticed faster battery drain on my ltr-09 as well. All is fine now. I noticed when i first upgraded location was turning on alot almost like it was learning when to turn on. Then it levelled out. Example opening google now at first it always turned on my gps now it doesnt. When i was on 9.01 i left my phone on battery saving for gps. You cant on 9.1 and i have seen alot of apps that used to be good with battery saving location now going for full with gps. Big bttery drain. Those were the differences i found. What I believe solved my battery drain was actually my battery getting all screwed up. I had this happen when i would switch roms and my battery stats would get all messed up. I solved it before and solved it this time with my p10 by running the thing right dead. Then pluging it in overnight with it turned off (no fast charging) Then I did it again the next night drained to dead , plug in charge with off ( no supercharging) and my battery life is better again. Hope this helps. EDIT After a few days of testing i still felt the battery was better but battery life still wasnt right. I did a factory installed minimal apps. Battery life was good until play store updated carrier services. I uninstalled updates to carrier services, disabled auto update. Then i actually disabled carrier services completely. Battery seems good now. From what i read carrier services is for next gen texting. Saw online others were having issues with this update.

Wrong, batteries get older with time and charging cycles. Updates have nothing to do with it and if you notice a drain right after one - it has nothing to do with the condition of the battery, it's the update's fault.
updates are huawei's way to convince you to buy a new phone
first they borked the camera, now they are messing with battery
I managed to improve battery life a little bit by disabling apps running in background and disabling unnecessary location permissions for several apps like @bigshowjh said. Like @bigshowjh said I found apps resetting their permission or settings after update. Still the battery life is not like it was before updating with the same usage behavior.

I have ran a couple of days with very good battery life. 11.5 hrs with 62 percent left. Seems like it used to be with Oreo. Overview of all I did was as follows. Clear cache partition, factory reset . Uninstalled Google Chrome (used Firefox instead) set carrier service to factory in apps three dots advanced. Disabled automatic update of carrier services in play store, then in settings apps disabled carrier services completely. Went through and disabled network access to every app that doesn't need it. I don't use Facebook or Facebook Messenger apps. I use them through my browser. Oddly chome on pie is a battery killer as well. I'm very satisfied with proformance of my P10 again.
My GPS is pretty much always off (unless I really need it) and the battery level still goes down by 9% during the night. It used to be 3-4%.
I cannot find carrier service anywhere.
In my case I can't see power hungry apps in the stats, standby process uses the most energy.

Settings, apps, apps again, select three dots in upper right, select show system processes. You will find it there it's a little hidden lol.
Still no carrier services for Play Store.
Hello,
A few weeks ago I have updated my S10 SM-G973F from Android 10 to Android 11 with the official version that came over OTA. Since then a huge battery drain started and this appears only after I manually check for new Firmware update or if the phone does this automatically. The battery drain stops after restarting the phone. Clearly the OTA update process started to have issues.
Does anyone else have this issue? Also any hints how to resolve this (resetting the phone is not an option).
Thanks

Try to find the apps that drains your Battery in the Battery Manager and Kill those. Also try to Kill background services which may have came as a part of Software Update which is draining your battery.
Even you can try to install Greenify app which helps in removing Background Apps/Services
Link for Greenify App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en_IN&gl=US
The battery manager doesn't show any app that uses more battery than usual. This is the thing I do not like on android since version 9... only the installed apps are listed but the systems apps are not listed as using any battery.
I will have a look over Greenify. In the meantime I have clear the data and cache for the update apps. Maybe it helps.
Try GSam Battery Monitor. If you're rooted, get the Root Companian App. If not, there's an ADB workaround to give the app access to battery protocols and show system level apps.
Try clearing system cache.
Clear updates data.
You could disable updates.
Hard reset; reload the OS. Best practice after a major firmware update.
Cleaning of the cache has not helped but I have found a solution. I have restricted the background usage for the update process so it only starts when I manually trigger it. At least now the battery drain starts only when I manually trigger the update. Of course after I do this I am also restarting the phone to resolve the problem.

I know this was a while ago, but can you explain how to disable background checking for updates? I've been dealing with this battery drain for months and it's crazy.
