Android OS consuming battery

So, recently, my battery life has gone to ****...mostly due to Android OS. I'm running MonsterRom 1.2. I just SBF'd the phone clean yesterday and restored apps via MyBackUp Root and TB. I made sure not to use a hand backup because I figured that would restore system settings causing the issue to re-surface. Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I understand that this isn't a drained battery, but the volume of use remains proportional when the phone is nearly dead.

Me too
I've also had a similar problem on both copies of the droid 3 I own. Can't seem to find the answer. Anyone had any luck out there?

Looking into it further
There is a great thread here.
I installed betterbatterystats and turned off syncing for instant upload and Google Docs to see if that would help. Also, com.motorola.blur.service.sync.engine.wakelock.task seems to be a possible culprit on the wakelock side of things. It would be nice if we could put this problem to bed. Besides this and not being able to receive SMS with images in it (I think it's something to do with my provider, Koodo), I love this phone.

Assuming that the phone is rooted, download a app called battery calibration from the market, charge your battery to 100 percent or 4200mah,give the app root access and tap calibrate. You should be good. When changing roms it is important to calibrate your battery. Also you can do the same thing by booting to cwm recovery and erasing battery stats.

Possible progress here
Removing the calendar widget, docs sync, facebook sync and instant update seem to have made a significant improvement over the last couple of hours. I will update as I get more data.
I should note that I'm on .890, I have rooted and debloated except for blur (I want the calendar app unless someone else can suggest a better one), motoprint and task manager.

Collection of Tipps for reducing Power Consumption

Plz share your knowledge below and will try to collect all of them in #1
Tools for recognizing Apps/Processes causing high battery drain:
BetterBatteryStats (uninstall the app after use, drains some power too)
Apps/Processes causing high battery drain & solutions:
GTALK_ASYNC_CONN (handles syncing, in standby this one caused the most partial wakelocks for me)
disable syncing (not the best way)
uninstall GTalk (if you don´t need it)

uninstall Google Earth (if you don´t need it)
ImapFolderPusher or similar
avoid using push notifications for mail, better set fix intervals for mail retrieving
*wifi*
in Settings/Wireless&Networks/Wi-Fi settings/Advanced set Wi-Fi sleep policy to When screen turns off
Smaller improvements:
Market
in Settings disable Notifications (it is not too hard to search manually for updates)
if you have auto-updates enabled check Updates over Wi-Fi only (there are rarely cases when you have to update your apps not being @home)
connections
in Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks choose Use Only 2G networks
General:
use an app like EasyProfiles for disabling apps/connections for special cases (like in car etc.)
keep your Screen Timeout short as possible (Settings/Display/Screen Timeout)
animated wallpapers are consuming more power
our OB has one of the best displays, therefore a display brightness of 100% is not necessary, go to Settings/Display/Brightness and check your settings
i am using Zeus1 by now and have a battery drain about 1.5% per hour in standby with following setup:
- uninstalled Gtalk, GoogleMaps (using Navigon for navigation)
- using K9Mail for email messaging and uninstalled all other clients, receiving mails intervall set to 15min
- disabled wifi on standby
Edit: now on Zeus V2.1, <1% battery drain per hour in standby with data, 2G & syncing
98% after >4h standby

* reserved *

This is a definitely great topic. Go on with it!

this is a good one...
The only thing I have is "Android booster" it close apps and turns off wifi/3G/bluetooth
And when going to sleep just put Airplane mode on and look at this...

Thanx For Great Tips!

Google Play Services battery drain

I assume that others are having this issue, and wondering if there is some fix I may be missing short of turning off location services (find them helpful and don't feel I should have to cripple my device for battery savings). I believe it is linked to it using WiFi networks to search for my location, although my WiFi is toggled off. This across all ROMs I have tried, though randomly it doesnt happen but always returns.
Thought it would be helpful to have a place to have open discussion on this issue and see others impressions.
Thoughts, suggestions, fixes?

1. Settings > WiFi > Advanced > WiFi Scanning Always Available (disable)
2. Settings > Location > Google Location Reporting > Off,off
3. Use App Ops (built into roms known as "Privacy Guard") and go to Google Play Services and deny permission to Keep Awake (Read more, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525 )

Why thank you!! I have done this, and will see how it goes. GPS wasn't in privacy guard within SlimLP but accessed it from settings>apps>all>google play services>permissions>modify

When you go into Privacy Guard, go to Menu (top right) and enable Show Built-in apps or something similar to that. Then you'll see GPS in Privacy Guard

Indeed!! Thanks boss [emoji106]

How do I do this with stock 5.0.1 / rooted

I really hate to bring this thread back to life and I apologize for that but I'm suffering from this bug and it's nasty. I'm barely getting 2h of SoT while other dudes are getting 3~5h of SoT. I did what this thread said and after tweaking with app ops freaking Google Play Services is going nuts crashing every 2 seconds, sometimes one right after another with that annoying message making the phone unusable. I'm on Pure Nexus 5.1.1, no CPU tweaks nor kernel mods. As far as I go with battery related apps/tweaks is greenify. Any ideas?

Did you make a backup before applying any changes in privacy guard? Have you reverted the changes you made back to the default? Also, try going to settings - applications and clearing data for Google play services

Help: Verizon 5.1: Phone Getting Hot & Contacts App Slow

Hey guys,
I received the Lollipop 5.1 OTA last week and upgraded from 5.0. Since then, my phone has been regularly getting very warm to the touch, much hotter than it ever has. I installed GSam to regulate the temp and it's typically around 112-113 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not sure what temp it ran at before, but was definitely cooler as it was never noticeable.
I also noticed that the Contacts app is really slow. It takes a while to load. I believe this may also be affecting the Phone app and [Google] Messenger app. They seem to be running slowly as well. Between the heat and the slow apps, it is eating my battery up quickly. I'm getting closer to half a day of life, whereas before it was closer to a full day. Android Core Apps is eating up a good portion of the battery and is typically towards the top of the list. Previously, Screen & Android OS were the biggest culprits.
I tried to do some research on this issue and although I couldn't find too much information, I did read that this could be related to having too many "Google Contacts" and the phone is always trying to sync. I'm not sure if this is an issue newly introduced in 5.1, but I never had problems before. I do have a lot of contacts, as my company runs on Google Apps and I have all of my personal contacts stored in Google Contacts.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to rectify these problems. I've cleared the phone's Cache through recovery and cleared the Cache of the Contacts app. I realize that a hard reset may be my best option, but I'd rather not lose all of my progress in AdVenture Capitalist!
Thanks, guys. Looking forward to thoughts.

Here's some screenshots of battery info. Android Core Apps is killing my batt.

Over-Counted using a ton of battery?

I should start off with, my phone normally ends an at least 12 hour day with ~40% and over 5 hours today, It had dropped to 10%. I have barely used it because I unplugged it to go to a doctors appointment, so not much use there, then for like 3 hours at home on my desk while I've been doing stuff on my computer, so almost none there either. Another confusing thing is that it says that "Over-Counted" used 32% of my battery but >3000 mAh?
Overall:

Also, how do I spoiler, there's no button

We can't see your pictures. They are on your google drive apparently. If I right click and open in new tab it shows them, one at a time.
Using Google, I found "over counted" is the new "Miscellaneous" in Marshmallow. Are you on a Marshmallow ROM?
Some relevant threads using Google search:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...ble_battery_bug_since_andorid_m_over_counted/
https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/3osxfl/what_is_over_counted/
You basically have to go in and find out WHAT in the new Miscellaneous is causing your battery drain.
Many people have reported high wi-fi drain with Marshmallow, that could be your issue. There are ways to limit that -- @iiWoodstocK has some great settings. Or you can flash a custom Lollipop ROM (like CM12.1) while you wait for the bugs to be worked out.

I'm using CM13 and It didn't update or anything, this happened randomly. Anyway, how do I "go in and find out" the details, it only shows me the computed and observed mAh usage. Also, I should have updated the post with that info but yeah I basically found the same thing.

I'm still on CM12.1, so I'm not sure how to investigate the over-counted stats on Marshmallow.
