Hello guys, I write here again for another problem with my moto x. The battery of my telephone is draining too quickly and according to the data on my telephone it should be because of the Android OS, which is draining more than Screen. I attach some screenshot.
I add some more data. My telephone is a Sprint XT1056 unlocked to use it with a Vodafone sim in Europe. The version of Android is 4.4.2 and I can't upgrade otherwise I'd lose my unlocking. I think I use the Moto x without stressing it too much, but the battery drains really too quickly, sometimes in even less than 8h with 1h of screen and without gps. Can you help me? Thanks.
You need to use an app like BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector to track down what part of Android OS is acting up. With those numbers, we should be able to help.

Judging by your battery graph in the first pic the phone isn't going to sleep. That solid blue line shouldn't be solid the entire time, it should have breaks in between when the screen isn't on or when something isn't running. Looks to me like you got a rogue app. Like mentioned before BetterBatteryStats is a great app to find the culprit. Also, high Android OS usage is known issue on 4.4.2. It's fixed in 4.4.4.
Yea
Android os should be about 3% on 444.
Try a safe boot. Then get app install history from play. There is some hog you need to find.
Android sys should be 6% but on 442 that you could deal with.

No, because I'm afraid to mess up with the sim unlock. If I lose it this telephone for me will get useless...
It says you're on 3G, it's possible that it's searching for an LTE signal, thus causing battery drain. If you're in an area that doesn't have LTE, you should probably switch it to 3G only mode. I'm not sure if the sprint model lets you do that through the mobile network menu, but if not, get an app called LTE On/Off for thunderbolt from the play store and it'll take you to a menu where you can switch to 3G mode so that it doesn't poll for LTE all the time. (assuming you haven't already done so)
You won't mess up your Sim unlock by flashing a recovery and rooting.
Then you'd be able to see more in depth battery stats with Gsam and gsam root companion.... Or other apps mentioned above.
But, android OS will rise with each feature /service you have enabled. Like location services Google now, and other Google Apps.
Try charging to 100, then turn off location completely and Google now... And see how it is for a day. I'm betting it drops way down. ?
Then go from there. Chances are apps are spamming location.
See post 2 and 3 in the Battery thread in my signature for tips. It's on the N5 section... But the tips are universal. ?
We will help you over there too. Just be sure to mention You're on a moto X. To avoid confusion. And post 4 has the screen shot examples for the best help.

Hi as I said I couldn't install root companion because I'm not rooted. Anyway I attach some screenshot from gsam, I hope it helps, otherwise at some point I will try to root, if needed...
Yup, you have terrible held awake time. And without root... We can't see what it is exactly.
52 minutes held awake in 4+ hours is awful. 52 minutes of held awake time should be over 24 hours... Not 4.

You can try it. Try helium to back up your apps first. But, it could be some app causing your troubles. Or its Google related.
I'd factory reset and only install a few apps a day after. See if it goes for a dive. Then you know it's one of the apps you installed that day. Process of elimination.
There was a way to use a version of wakelock detector from a windows pc to access the list of wakelocks on the moto x, which would normally require root. It only works tethered to the computer, and I haven't tested it recently but it worked on 4.4. The utility can be found here http://bit.ly/1h2Hzmw

I tried as you suggested: factory reset and installed only few apps, the problem seems the same, and the telephone is still awake, but the % on Android OS is dramatically lowered, I attach screenshots. In the meantime I kind of rooted with "towel pie root" so I have access to much more data with Gsam and Wakelock, that I both installed and I will run tomorrow for the entire day.

You need gsam root companion to show what held your phone awake. Assuming it will work with your root method.

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??
In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.
I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.
Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

Dude your phone is just fine...10% down in 9 hrs with wifi on is too good...everything looks normal..gtalk seems to be waking up the phone to update the online offline lists.in general syncing...thats all..if it was 10% down in 1 hr then it wouldve been a problem...the data looks just fine..and trust me your phone is entering sleep mode..or else it wouldve showed different result..to confirm that install cpuspy..it will say what all frequency are being used and how much phone is sleeping and all...

Even though this is on stock, This thread will help (maybe)
Try disabling the backup services, as they tend to run for like half an hour each time you power up your phone, or maybe it does that everyday.

I came across the same issue, where I was getting a quick battery drain. I went ahead and unticked auto sync and have wifi shut off via toggle and only turn it on when I need it. After checking the Android OS percentage, it went down by half and battery life now is insane, once in sleep mode, it preserves a lot of battery. I was at 100% at 8:15 am yesterday morning and today I am on 72%, granted I haven't used the phone that much but prior to the previously mentioned steps, I would probably be recharging as we speak!
Start BetterBatteryStats and check your kernel wakelocks - it could be the msm_hsic_host wakelock that is causing your battery drainage?

[SOLVED] Solution!
SOLVED!
After maaaaaaaany weeks of googling, searching, WakeLock monitoring, more searching...
I finally fixed what's causing this!
The wakelocks are named:
NlpCollectorWakeLock
NlpWakeLock
Those were the main battery drainers (those freaking suckers!).
They aren't that important to run in the background at all, it's just a location service by Google Now (you know, just so the NSA has more data from you).
It does not affect the device performance or function in any way (as far as I know but I guess it prevents Google Now from searching your location while your phone is locked).
The simple fix for all this:
Simply download "Wakelock Terminator" from the Play Store and run it. You also need Xposed for the installed module to run tho which means you also need a rooted device.
(Downside of the free version: You can only prevent one service from running unlimited wakelocks, for more you'll need the paid version. But because you'll most likely fix only the draining problem you won't need more anyways!)
Then simply go an search for "Google Play Services", tick "Prevent Wake Lock" and add the above mentioned services to the list.
After one day of doing this my phone battery lasts far longer now, draining only about 1-2% an hour instead of 8-10% as it was before.

Hey, sorry to hijack your thread, but I also have a drain issue, but I didn't want to open a new thread just for my issue.
I'm on a C6902, stock rom, stock kernel, bootloader locked, rooted. Every once in a while, Android system or Google Search randomly decides to keep my phone on a wakelock. I have to keep checking and a reboot fixes it. I just wanted to check if this was normal, or if I should reflash the firmware. I'm on the Global (Singapore?) version of the firmware, since I bought it there last month, and updated via OTA while I was there to .108.
I am currently in India and am experiencing this issue, didn't really experience it there.
Any pointers?

I was having similar issue, except that my battery was running out of juice in 6 hours, I had bought a new phone and I was devastated.
I was on .108 and System / AndroidOS was taking 80 percent of my battery juice (an obvious wakelock) depleting it in hours.
What solved it for me, wasn't a single thing but a few small things.
1. Root and move to SlimKat or PA, or a stock based ROM preferably Trinity Revolution.
2. Install TricksterMOD, set governor to OnDemand / Interactive. (preferably, Interactive).
3. If you are on Trinity Revolution with Trinity Kernel do these in addition to 2.
i. Enable "Eco mode". (If your father doesn't do any resource hungry stuff on phone and can deal with minor lags here and there).
ii. Switch off MPDecision and enable Intelliplug.
4. In your WiFi setting, go to Advanced > and switch off "Always scan for available WIFI networks".
5. Go into Mobile Networks, and set Preferred Network Type to "2G".
6. Disable auto-syncing of Google Account.
7. Install TitaniumBackup and freeze services like Google Search, Print Spooler, Cloud Print etc.
With PA, and using only what I just mentioned, my phone now can have over 5 hours 42 minutes of ON SCREEN time and over 13 hours of standby with 25 percent battery still remaining.
If you enable "eco mode" your on screen time would increase upto 6 or 7 hours, which is as best as it could get on any phone.
Hope it helps.
P.S
AnrgKrshn your problem may also get solved by uninstalling the latest updates of Google Play Services. It didn't work for me but many people swear by it. Google is your friend.

Charging and normal use like facebook the phone gets heated even if i use camera for 10 mins phone gets heated and camera stops for cooling
Overheating during charge is normal. Especially if you play games, and also Facebook, because display is turned on whole time it heat even more.
Also, camera somehow manage to overheat phone to. So I assume this is normal also, every z1 I had in my hand have this kind of "problem" especially if you use augment reality or some other effects.
So nothing wrong with your phone on that one.

Same for me. When I bought the phone I immediatelly upgraded to 5.0.2. After upgrading, I did a factory reset through Recovery. Android OS and Android System eat up most of the battery, whereas in normal cases it should be screen and standby (and perhaps some fewquently used app).

Looking at that first screenshot of the battery chart it looks like you have an alarm or wakelock keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping. Take a look at my Moto G 2014 battery guide

Well that guide is great as a general recommendation. However, what we have here looks like a bug. Android OS and Android System should NEVER take more battery than standby and screen.

Thats what I was saying. It looks like a wakelock or alarm, which would fall under Android OS and Android System

You are right. And I see that in my xt1032 that still runs on KitKat these wakelocks do not exist. Could this have to do with data wiping? I factory reset the phone from recovery AFTER the 5.0.2 OTA update. AFAIK it fully wipes data and cache.

It does. Install BetterBatteryStats from here and run it for a while. It'll give you details on every wakelock and alarm on the device and how much battery it is using. Then you can use amplify in the tutorial I linked to earlier to configure the wakelocks so they are not consuming as much battery.

Thanks a lot Duck86, but I think that for a brand new phone I should not need to do all these things to get decent battery life. As I said my old xt1032 on kitkat was is to handle two days of significant usage and most of all, if you did not use it the battery did not drain. By the end of the day, battery usage was topped by standby, screen and perhaps an app with frequent use. On top of that, 5.0.2 looks generally unstable compared to the utterly robust 4.4.4 that runs on my xt1032. I get noise and lag in call sounds for example, issues that were not even imaginable on xt1032/kitkat.
So I think I will try to fall back on kitkat. The problem is that I do not know which stock ROM I should install.
My Baseband version is:
MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST
My kernel version is:
3.4.42-g48d3b85
My system version is
22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
Build number
LXB22.46-28
Any clues?
It's probably gsam battery monitor that is doing all the wakelocks to gather data.

If you are talking about the app, I do not have it installed.

You are right. Apologies. I will try to open a new thread for finding the right ROM for my phone.
Hey those screenshots say anything to you?

Nothing special, depends on what you were doing. To have a clearer view: Load your battery until it's full and let the phone rest for one or two hours. Make some screens than. You can see what kind of wakelocks disturb the sleep mode of the device.
"Who is the guilty?" Motorola?..
Guys you know about the bug with the gps? When you turn on and off the GPS on the stock rom and the GPS remain on and kills your battery until you restart the phone? Took me about 2 weeks to figure out.

I took those screenshoots after a the phone was completely charged. I even tried to turn off the GPS as @zman01 said but it didn't make any difference. What is that RLJ thing?

Ping @Duck86
Is there any battery life issue that anyone may have encountered ever since the previous two updates.. my 6000mah battery that used to stay for 2 days minimum has gone to a single day. It's all been after the update and i saw plenty of forums in Asus itself of the same thing.
Reference :- https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/54786/battery-drain-issue-on-rog-3
Anyone got any leads for this?
You're just overthinking. Stop staring at the battery percentage 24/7 and enjoy the damn phone.

You damn right! But how, bro. When u were accustomed to charging ur phone once in two days and you have to subtract 24 hours from that.. it surw changes the usage from a gaming plus daily driver to either one of the lot .. change for the bad questions a lot of stuff

What is your battery usage? Have you tried a factory reset?
What is showing as consuming most power? An optimized debloated ROG 3 with a healthy can go a week on stand-by with data enabled and even longer (no kidding) and easily 2-2.5 days with normal use.
You have to pinpoint what is doing it. It's wearing down your battery as well...

I tried, actually. The thing is i fear the Android system itself. Coz in one of the threads on the Asus website forums, there were people discussing Play Store or Play activities that keep auto restarting and also twin apps.
So for starters i did try to force close play services (can't disable coz of the emails), then battery turned out great. But afterwards it started reducing again. Same with twin apps.
I ain't kidding too. It's supposed to a 2-2.5day phone easily with the 6000mah battery, but for me it's a single day max to max a 12+ (3-4) hour phone

Ok. I also had some battery drain (not on idle tho) and installed Kirisakura kernel, seems to have solved the issue for me. I also wiped Dalvik cahe. It may also have been the solution

You can also try to use the Naptime app, it forces the phone into Doze when screen is off. Adb access or root is needed
GSAM can also be used to find the culprit
If disabling Goog Play Services stops the issue, it's likely linked to one or more running apps or processes. It's likely not Play Services itself but because one or more other components are making calls to it. Try to review all the running apps & services on your device and selectively disable them and gauge the difference. Apps that do a lot of syncing, using location services, excessive notifications (cloud messaging), Firebase indexing, etc etc.... If you have a good app manager tool, that will make the hunt easier.

That's great, will try the kernel coz I still haven't rooted my phone. Does the kernel need root?

Does installing a Kernel need root access? Coz I don't want to root as of now.. and i haven't installed a Kernel ever.. is it riskier than a root?

Yes, this kernel requires root
