I hope you can help me, Lately I've had a pretty bad battery consumption on my htc one... So I decided to install an application to monitor such consumption, '' Battery Monitor Widget '' the result was as follows:
Android System'' drains a lot battery, even the phone being idle, the battery lasts me very little, at most 2 hours of screen on without wifi or mobile data, without playing games :/ ...but I noticed that this consumption of the operating system were caused by the proximity sensor which was on whenever the screen was turned on...
I've installed three different roms based on 6.09.401.10 firmware and all the same thing happens ... THE PROXIMITY SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON! I even turned off automatic brightness and nothing works. I also turned on the phone in safe mode to check that no installed application was causing the problem, even so the proximity sensor is always on.
Could someone tell me if the same thing happens in your phone please?
Device HTC One (M7) S-ON
ROM - Maximus HD/Skydragon/ARHD
Kernel - Stock
HBOOT - 1.57
Recovery - TWRP 2.6.3.3
Sense - 6.0
Android KitKat - 4.4.3 w/ 6.09.401.10 FW
I found a partial solution ... when the Auto Sleep is active the phone all the time keeps activated the proximity sensor ... when you put a fixed time, the sensor turns off and remains so until some application as the phone it requires... Now the problem seems to be the light sensor, which seems to be always on when the screen is just so ... I turned off the automatic brightness (it is the only process that I use the sensor) but somehow it does not work ... disable the light sensor?
Any help?
maybe this is what is causing battery drain and lags on my phone :/ (arhrd 82)

After weeks of tryna figure our my battery drain on froyo I think I pinned it down. In spare parts under battery history/ sensor usage/ android system is running on my phone 100 percent of the time.I've already wiped and that doesn't help.any help?

Ya I have 17 hours of sensor usage in all time (I guess that's since I did a hard reset a few days ago).
Yea and the only solution I've found is factory reset but I can't find it in cm6 settings nor do I know if factory reset does anything to rooted users
Factory reset erases all user data. It's essentially wiping Data and Cache partitions.
Has anyone figured this out yet? My phone has been unplugged for 1 hour and has 24 minutes of sensor usage when I've used the phone for maximum 8 minutes.

I'd have to bet it's an app doing it... You'll have to figure it out probably.
Definitely it must be some app you have installed. Try nandroid and wipe if you have root and if it solves your problem then nandroid restore back and uninstall apps one by one until you figure it out.
I recommend you to start uninstalling apps which using sensor as first.

My guess would be that the sensor usage is part of the android system, therefore it uses the light sensor to read ambiant light for automatic backlighting for the phone, proximity sensor for the dialer, light sensor for the camera and orientation? sensor for the gallery perhaps???
I would guess that if you turned off the proximity sensor for the dialer, disabled automatic backlighting, etc you wouldn't see the same results. Just a guess tho.
That would be any app that uses the motion sensor. Like the new gesture search that can be triggered by flipping the phone back and forth. Or maybe a Tasker task you set up for some sort of motion gesture. Or a live wallpaper that reacts to 'gravity'.
I'd first look for any programs like those that could be running. They are misbehaving if it is constantly on, even when the screen is off. Or it could be by design 'to shake the screen on' for instance.
I have a similar sort of issue but instead of android being 100%, I have internet at 50% under battery info/sensor usage?
I charged my battery to full last night, set my alarm to wake up this morning, then put my desire into airplane mode.
I wake up this morning and my battery has gone down from full to 88%? How is this possible, and more unusual, how has the internet been the reason when I had my phone in airplane mode?

Same problem
I have a Desire (running CM-6.0.2) and am experiencing similar problems. Mine is actually much worse than reported here; in 8 hours of over-night table sitting, my phone drained the battery from 70% down to nearly 20%!!
I am careful to check which Apps are running, and meticulously shut things down. I always have my 3G data connection turned off, WiFi off, GPS off...
The Testing > Battery History > Sensor Usage frequently seems to be showing "Android System" with times that even exceed what is recorded as "Running"!!
The battery performance isn't always terrible like this, but I've noticed when BatteryGraph shows steep decline, that the Sensor Usage is really high.
I don't know how to try to diagnose this further, but we've got to figure something out.

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I have the same problem. I charged my phone two days ago, didn't use it much before the first night. The battery in the first morning was about 95%.
I then barely used the phone yesterday and just used a default browser for 10-15 minutes before going to sleep. Don't recall the exact battery percentage, but during the second night the battery had drained a lot more than during the first night.
I have disabled auto-rotation and auto-brightness, gps and network connections and the phone was locked in it's pouch.
Under battery history (sensor usage, since last unplugged) I have:
Android system: 1d 14h 56m 48s
Internet: 11h 45m 35s
I didn't use the Internet for more than 15 minutes.
What could cause so high sensor usage?
Was a fix for this ever found?
I'm experiencing the same issue where "Android System" shows the "Sensor Usage" in Spare Parts as running 100% of the time.
I have some hardware malfunction of compass sensor it shows north all the time and I have an error in dmesg, saying that yas529 failed to initialize, so I guess it's hardware problem. I don't care. I've had 3 phones with compass prior and barely used it.
BUT
I have such a problem that after using any navigation software (after closing the app itself) I get horrible battery drain of "Android OS" in battery usage stats, the only way to stop the drain is to reboot the device.
So , I guess compass is being initialized by those navigation software , but it does not turn off (because of HW malfunction).
So my goal is to prevent the OS from seeing the sensor so it won't be turned on.
I know it's better to buy new phone , but It's just not the time for me to switch to another phone and I love my cappy.
I've commented on the orientationd and geomagneticd in init.rc, but that did not help. Something else is turning the compass on.
Is this issue only on my device or its some sort of bug on ?
WiFi in settings is completley turned off, scanning always available is turned off, keep awake is set to never, gps is set to use only gps to determine positions..so every options of wifi is turned off, but still in battery paragraph show that wifi is almost always turned on (see picture) even when device is turned off in baterry paragraph u can see that wifi is turned on
Here is screenshoot
Solved by going back to 4.4.4 kk,
Sony definitely need to fix LP, to many bugs compared to kk.
battery life is terrible, slow charging time, wifi has some problem, force closing apps (probably google fault ), sound is worse, strange wakelock,..
Of course this is my opinion of Lollipo- and i tried clean install, withouth root, with root...and every time same for me.. so il be waiting for fixed version of lollipop by Sony, maybe 5.1
i got my device updated to B133 it said it increases battery performance but it seems my battery is draining fast...anyone having the same problem??... can anybody give a better solution
I have a "similiar" problem - my devices starts rebooting or bootlooping (not sure whats exactly is happening) when reaching 100% Battery (I'm currently trying to finger out).
In my Screenshoot you can see, that the phone is totally offline about 1-2hours at night while charing.

i didnt observed something like that cz i never charge overnight... but the phone heats quicker in the day light and the battery drains faster than before
This is just my personal experience.
I own Huawei P10 UK variant with carrier bloat (Three) firmware version: VTR-L09GBRC555B150.
Since I got update I had really terrible battery life.
The phone didn't last me a day with on average 2.5-3h screen on time. To improve my battery I dived deeper in settings and here is what I find.
Turn off auto brightness in notification menu.
Go to settings>battery and click on" lock screen clean up" close apps that you want to stop using WiFi /data when device is locked - is amazing to see how many apps actually use data when screen is off.
In same section turn off "Remaining battery percentage"
Also go to settings>more>mobile network and turn off "mobile data always on"
In settings>wifi unmarked wifi+ option.
After these adjustments your phone should really improve in battery department.
Also if you receive any update from Huawei it's a good thing to do factory reset to stop apps from using extra resources from before update.
Here are some screen shots
Hello,
I recently bought a P20 Pro, good phone, but mine has a big issue...
The battery drain 8~9% per hours screen off, it run hot in my pocket, last night i fell asleep with the phone in bed, in the morning, the phone was screen off under the sheets, it was so hot, impossible to handle with -70% battery in a ~6hours night.
I tried a factory reset this morning, but it's the same...
Idk what i can do, it's impossible to use this phone on a daily basis with a battery usage like that
The firmware is on the last update, 8.1.0.152 (C432)
Adaptive/Automatic backlight is disabled (backlight at ~70%)
Darken interfaces colors enabled
Useless/Annoying services disabled, no location history, assistants, cleanup, "phone care", nothing is enabled
Anyone with the same issue ?
the battery is drained cuz of your network
probably you might be staying in low covergae area
and for wifi pls turn off wifi scanning under setting'
Updated to EMUI9 Beta, not better, 1h15 of screen time, it looks like the idle (screen off) mode use the same battery as screen on/browsing/youtube streaming impossible to use it daily ...

I'm at the same place, at my office where my Nexus 6P / Galaxy S8+ had a normal battery drain, plus the antena relay is ~150m from me, i don't believe it's a cellular network issue, or it's a big hardware issue
I'll try to disable wifi scanning, but also tried for 2 hours disabling cellular data + wifi, same battery usage
Sounds like it's something wrong with your phone, bring it back and get a new.

This shouldn't be the case. Try formatting the phone

Already tried few times (cf first post)
Just contacted the vendor, i'll ask for a replacement
I got a replacement, now it's correct.
I have a similar issue with my Mate RS, if I turb the power saving off the phone will be dead with mild use within half a day.
