Google Chrome killing my battery - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So just from today i started getting a weird "sandbox" process that was killing my battery, google it a littlw bit and found out that its a common issue, some nexus 5 owners said it was...
But none have found a way to solve it, in fact its now a normal thing on google chrome according to some stuff ive read (as it actually manages tabs).
Has anyone see thay ? Did anyone ever found a fix for it ?
I stopped using Chrome (using Dolphin/CM) and voila, battery back to normal, sad because i actually like Chrome

@Faruko, I've never seen this. But I noticed that you were running Chrome beta. If you like the Chrome browser, why don't you try the Chrome stable app?

Android Run Time?

Maybe a stupid question, but if its better, why isn't ART set as the default for 4.4+? I just made the switch. 207 apps, conversion time was 12 minutes. I'll post here if I find any of my apps aren't compatible.

Been using ART for a few weeks and I noticed an immediate positive change in responsiveness (placebo?). There are two apps, however, both of which I use often, that are much slower to load on ART than they were with Dalvik enabled; Facebook and the Pulse news reader app. Once opened they are both super slick and not prone to stuttering, they just take a good 2 or 3 seconds to open if I haven't used them recently. I haven't found any apps to force close or flat-out not work.

I read complaints that video playback stuttered with ART on the x. Both YouTube and gallery. Either of you notice that?

My understanding is that it's currently in beta, so they do not want to make it the default yet.

[Q]pil-modem_fw: why won't it leave me alone?

I started noticing extreme battery drain around the time I began fooling around with the lollipop rom builds that began popping up in the forums last month, so I started trying to look into it. This is what I found: (this isn't a good example because of a short timeframe, but at times it's been up to 30k wakelocks over 6 hours)

I've tried searching Google and of the 2 posts that even come close, I can't make sense of it.
My phone is currently disconnected and has been for some time, so I can't tell if it's searching for service, even though I keep it in airplane mode, with Wi-Fi on only when I need it, turned off background data, even froze the phone app. Still no luck. Same thing when I switched back to cm11.
Is there anyone or there who knows what this is about and what I can do about it?
***ANY and ALL info is GREATLY appreciated***

If you flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware for your device with fastboot/mfastboot it will likely be fixed.
Why you're getting this.... I don't know. Can't find anything on it either.

Weird Quick Charge screen!!

Hi everybody!
I usually do not use/see my phone while charging, but today I've got a SMS notification and found a strange charging screen over the lock screen with advertising on it!!

I'm pretty sure that this was happening before the update to MM!!
googling around I have found posts about a specific app addded by Asus, could it be that Lenovo did the same?
I didn't found anything strange on my phone apps list
I have runned a full scan with Dr. WEB and it didn't found anything
I am almost sure ( Smiley Happy ) that I didn't install crappy apps, but I may have inadvertingly followed a couple of adv links..
Anyone else is having such screen on MotoG2 with MM? How can I serach for the app showing that screen?
This evening I'll check on my wife's MotoG2...
Thank you!
I have found the (f******g) app: ES App Locker!!
Anobody knows a similar tool? For sure I will not reinstall this one!! And I'm going to give it ONE star right now!!
Addendum: while posting the review on the store I've seen that v1.1.1 was released yesterday... I'm ready to bet that it's this current version that has added this undesiderable feature...

Mutiple instances of chrome.

Firstly, I know, I know.. I should have done a fresh install when I upgraded from a N8 to an N9.
I clicked on a link in the stock email app to thank an Amazon customer, and I got the attached.. I was hoping it would show Chrome and Samsung Internet as option. Not sure what happened here. Originally I thought perhaps my device unlocked note 9 had chrome preinstalled but even so I cannot find my own restored copy to delete.

Wow thanks. I did uninstall updates of Chrome and now it no longer shows two of them. However no matter what I do I cannot set or get Samsung Internet to open links from the stock email. Like the one I posted earlier.

Well, I had two instances of Goole Play store, though now it has gone away...

Anyone know what the heck this is?

As you can see I'm on 12 beta. I had to reset my phone yesterday due to a bootloop which has never happened on this phone but it is a beta version of Android so I wasn't worried. But I have never seen this before. Oh and when I restored my Google account it would not restore my phone settings it did restore everything else though like contacts and apps.

According to this it seems to be new Android 12 restrictions stopping apps running in the background from launching things in the foreground. I imagine it's Gboard trying to launch some sort of update as identified by the app name and the fact that it happens to me overnight.
