It's more likely that wakelocks are draining your battery.
Look for the thread titled "[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks" in the AT&T S2 Skyrocket forum.

I can tell you that SwiftKey since they updated to the new free version it opens and runs Facebook in the background even if you don't have it set up to learn from Facebook. I thought this was very sketch of them and because of it I stopped using SwiftKey. I am also noticing Hangouts is running a lot more in the background that it used to. I use greenify to hibernate it but I have telephony notifications set up to push through so it'll bring it out of hibernation when I get a text. Hope this helps. If you're looking for a replacement for SwiftKey Fleksy is pretty good... It's not SwiftKey but it does a good job and has some cool features.

root your phone, install "wakelock detector", grant SU access, a take a look for a while. And check that process causes excessive battery consumption.:good:

My android system drain my battery alot. And it's ridiculous when it's running all apps which has been frozen. It's weird.

I've seen this before, on the official KitKat. Rebooting the phone when it starts happening seems to fix it for 24-72 hours. I was running a rooted DynamicKat rom before and didn't have this problem. I hated that I had to exchange my device and ended up with an official KitKat,

You don't use task managers in Android.
Just my point of view:

You don't need a task manager. The phone has enough ram and if you really must need a app to hibernate, look into using the greenify app.

I've just noticed particularly the Facebook app has really drained my battery if I let it run in the background

I can confirm these results. I uninstalled the app and just use mobile site. Try Greenify, it will work for this issue too.

Says the guy wanting to use task managers. Seriously, if the app is the issue why would you hunt for a work around? Get rid of the problem don't hide it.

I believe there is more to this than some of you are recognizing. I have a question. Go look in your battery menu and look at the apps using the most battery. Does it show each app keeping the mobile radio active? If so because i'm reading on reddit along with my personal experience. Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Facebook, Chrome, Play Music are doing that. No one seems to know why yet either. Tell me what you find out.

That's never been identified until lollipop, there's no way to know it's any different now than it ever has been.

Well its pretty obvious for me. Ive never seen these apps really sot at the top other than google play services for a gps wakelock. But these apps are inconsistently at the top but when they are, they keep the mobile radio active for hours when screen on time might be a 1/4 of that.
Well then. Try app called Battery Doctor. It will let you see what's draining your battery and let you selectively close the ones you want to.
Lately my battery has been worse after playing a game. I quit playing but it's still not good. Any ideas on how to fix. Also I don't know how to get rid of these wakelocks. Thanks

Also does battery life increase with the new updates on kit kat because I didn't update because I'm scared of losing root.

In my opinion 10 hours is pretty good flr moderate use, im not you though of course. Have you tried turning on auto brightness/using a brightness app/turning doen brightness, that may help, also fot wakelocks i believe greenify will help with that.

But they are system apps that I use every day. I didn't get wakelocks from them before but now I do.

It looms pretty normal to me, might need a seconds opinion though. Like i said, greenify will help with that as far as i know.

10 hours and over 3 hours of screen it is very good. I don't know what you complain about.
So I have an older version of betterbatterystats (1.5 to be exact) but for some reason it won't run on my moto x. Anyone know why?
Anyone else having an issue with xda app and ads opening up in browser as soon as u open the app? I'm not clicking on them and they just open. Is there a bug in the app?

If your phone is rooted download battery history xxl which allows you to see how much battery consumption your apps use in the setting>battery

I recently starting having lag issues while typing text messages. Is it safe to assume this is a known issue? Thanks.

I had to un-install swiftkey. My lag happens more often with mms. It was fine last week and just started lagging this week.

I know what you mean. This is recent to my s6 too. Could it be a bad app update?
I was having LTE connectivity issues last week and then shortly afterwards my phone acts up.
