Serious Battery Drain!!! - Help - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just moved from an iPhone so I am not sure if what I am having is anything serious. Battery seems to be dropping much faster than I am used to seeing.
Phone takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to charge, it's speedy but battery was draining pretty quickly so I rooted and installed LiquidSmooth.
It says that the process names Android OS is taking 81 percent of my battery.
Things are still as they were, I am not sure what do next. Any help or pointing to the right thred would be very appreciated.

See this one too, if it helps identifying whether the discharge is normal or not!

What did you modify?
It seems that something keep your phone awake more then it should be.
Try to unistal apps that runing in background (those snapdragon apps, 56% stuff) and etc.

Fast dormancy also has possibility to cause high Android OS, you may try to look if your carrier support fast dormancy, if not then disable it.
Hope I help

Thanks!

I had tried to pinpoint the most draining app, tried BetterBatteryStats and the tutorial about how to interpret the data but couldn't solve it.
I installed SlimKat and by battery is doing just fine, 7 hours gone with wifi on with moderate usage and I am on 60 percent now.

Are you sure it's the USSD menu?
Mine doesn't (just checked), and neither did my Qtek 1010 (Although it coped poorly with the feature).
Granted, I'm not using a Blue Angel, and my i-mate is ROMmed to the hilt, but surely the menu should just trigger a sound event (that I certainly don't have) which you can switch off?
Does it do the same when you Look4It (*120*5555# I think) ?

Try to turn off the "scan always available" under wifi settings

I just don't understand. Cm7 tiamat 1.1.4 smartass v2 newest radio and matching ril, no wifi and background data turned completely off. This is significantly worse than any other rom including stock. Any ideas?

Charge to 100 percent then delete battery stats.
See if that helps.
It's the best rom for battery for all others i've talked to

I've calibrated the battery twice since installing CM7 in the past 4 days. I am even underclocking with Incredicontrol at -75, but to no avail.
HMM Android system is chewing through battery.
I'm not really sure why.

Ooh God no...
Mine isn't even in the list.
I don't know if it will help as I just downloaded it today but this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.freeb.automm seems like it should help battery life because you can customize how much memory goes to background applications.

@Scoobysnacks Are you using Cynogenmod or MIUI? I'm on MIUI and found that Android System and Call Standby always seem to be listed in at the top of the battery use processes (much more than Display). Whereas for Sense ROMs, Display is almost always at the top.
try a modified kernel , like tiamat
Oops sorry didnt see you already using it. Make sur you use 1.1.4 and not .5 because that kernel has battery problems you could try stock cm7 kernel as well
Sent from my Blade using xda premium
same here, android system 40%, standby 36%.
im on miui.us 1.11.4 and tiamat 1.1.5
Currently Mobile standby 47% and phone idle 45% for me. Android system not in the list.
CM7.1 and Tiamat 1.1.5, so it can't be the kernel or the ROM. Did you do a full wipe?
Try running logcat on the phone and seeing what messages are in there, something seems to be keeping the phone awake a lot judging by the blue stripes below your graph.

Is your phone overclocked? Is there some app that doesn't let your phone deep sleep? Try installing Better Battery Stats and take a look what's happening with your phone when you are not looking at it

I have this problems also...
It gets hot when using any type of mobile data signal...
And it gets annoying to use the phone after a while...
And coming from an S Advance I feel this heat to be very uncomfortable....
I've been wondering if this is common with everyone....

[Q] Battery loss from "Modality Service"?

I'm getting some fairly significant battery drain from something called "Modality Service." It probably wouldn't annoy me so much if I had any clue what it was. Anyone seeing anything similar? Any idea what it is? My searches on the matter are coming up empty.

On and off through the day.
Interestingly "Modality Service" hasn't shown up at all today, with 7.5 hrs on battery. It's pretty intense when it does though, and I'm still deeply curious.
I saw this on someone's screen shot the other day, googled it and it didn't return anything related to it.
I think the use who posted had data disabled for most of the battery cycle, maybe it has to do with that? Not sure though

I have the same issue. I noticed it yesterday, I had very low usage and it was the top battery user. I clicked on it and it said it used GPS for the whole time my phone was on but I have GPS off, so that was odd. Also I checked into BatteryStats+ and it didn't even have it using my battery. It appears it isn't affecting my battery life because my CPU usage was only about 2s. I have no idea what it is though. I posted this on G+ and a guy replied saying he was on the phone with Motorola multiple times and ended up getting a replacement. I'd prefer not to go that route...
I too just noticed this last night and today. Last night it was showing using 48% of the battery and today using 38%. I found the service and force closed it. Not sure what it does or is.
Do you all have moto assist activated. It's only an issue for me when moto assist is trying to determine if I am driving. If I disable the driving portion, modality service never appears

How much screen on time do you get?
Did you use it all the time before capturing that screenshot or was it idle?
Sent from my Xperia V using XDA Free mobile app
I did normal usage on it, or let's say the same as any other day. Using WhatsApp mostly. My stock ROM gives me at least 19h without using stamina mode, CM give me a good day from a new installation, but after day two I get this battery drain.

The next time it happens, take a screenshot like this, a screenshot of the graph when you first get into battery usage...and also take a screenshot of your screen on time (you get to it by tapping on "screen" in battery usage tab). Because if you get around 3:45 - 4:30 hours of screen on time, it's not bad battery life but actually maximum of what our phone can get.

Can install GSam Battery for monitoring
is screen burn with too long use of this app ?
Uninstalled right away. Full of invasive popup ads and doens't even resemble the always on galaxy s7.
I would suggest you guys Glance plus which has a minimum impact on the battery.
I'm currently using always on display since the latest update... seems much better... but it's still battery intensive... but not as bad as it was. Glance definitely is less battery hungry but it's not exactly always on...!! So until the real APK is out I'll keep using always on. I've even payed to get rid of the adds.. definitely worth it.

AdAway to block ads... devs need ads for some $
All these apps are useless to me, I'd rather wait for the app port and source code releases by Samsung, then waste my battery life on these apps. Digitizer will walkways waste battery.

How do you uninstall this app??
Its posted in google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display and here and there with negative review
@senzatiOn-
i installed the latest version of the app on a g925f with custom kernel and rom.
i works with no errors.
only one bug i found untill now and that is when i am on a phone call using bluetooth handset, while i press the power on button to turn off the screen, or when the system tries to turn it off, the screen turns back on after a second.
The battery was drained by 5% within an hour with the brightness set to 25% of the slider.
Overall i am pleased by it. Keep up the good work.
Best app loved it i was fedup by lame display of google always on
How to uninstall this app?
