Lately my battery has been worse after playing a game. I quit playing but it's still not good. Any ideas on how to fix. Also I don't know how to get rid of these wakelocks. Thanks

Also does battery life increase with the new updates on kit kat because I didn't update because I'm scared of losing root.

In my opinion 10 hours is pretty good flr moderate use, im not you though of course. Have you tried turning on auto brightness/using a brightness app/turning doen brightness, that may help, also fot wakelocks i believe greenify will help with that.

But they are system apps that I use every day. I didn't get wakelocks from them before but now I do.

It looms pretty normal to me, might need a seconds opinion though. Like i said, greenify will help with that as far as i know.

10 hours and over 3 hours of screen it is very good. I don't know what you complain about.

Explain this to me
It is hard to tell by the screen shot, but could be that you had the screen on for a long time, or that your phone was spending energy to trying to connect to cell service?
Ok I'll post some neescreenshots in next few days.which screenshots should I post? Also should I leave power saver off?

Download GSAM battery monitor and post screens from it. It has a very detailed breakdown of where your juice is going.

Is there a app like Google maps that's does the same thing cause I want to be able to use mobile network location without it draining my battery

Try using Juice defender to make WiFi turn off when your screen is off. Also, if you're rooted you can download greenify from the market. All those little things drain battery fast. :thumbup:

I would agree. GSAM says 12 hours since last recharge and you are at 55% battery. I think that is pretty good.
When I turn on GPS or network location I get a wakelock from Google play services or Google "network location" I want to be able to use the features. When I turn on GPS I have to force close one of them or the GPS icon is on the whole time!!

Is your phone hooked up to Google now? Try looking at some of those features, I know for me it was pretty much running the entire time, even if you closed out of it. I mean, it constantly monitors where you are...Also, any type of weather app, widget etc does the same, in my experience.

My battery drains 6% every half hour. I've tried flashing two different Roms from a stock sense to CM11 but no avail. Plus it takes all day to get to a full charge when charging. Could my battery be bad or something I'm not noticing? #noob

When I'm on WiFi for any amount of time makes my battery drain fast with nothing else on (GPS,Bluetooth etc...). I have power saver,sleep mode abd WiFi optimization on if that makes a difference. Dropbox upload is off.

ditto on the unlocked padlock when switching to ART. usually this means the bootloader is now unlocked. at least on the nexus line of phones...hmm
art works fine for me, however this device just doesn't seem as responsive as my nexus 5. I'm actually a little disappointed in the day to day performance. it's almost like its too aggressive with the memory management making apps cold start more often.

When I used ART, the MLB At Bat app would crash when trying to stream a game. So back to Dalvik I went lol.

yea, a good chunk of apps won't run in ART mode. just search for articles on it. luckily I don't really use any of those apps, so ART on my nexus 5 and s5 are just fine

Same experience....switched to ART and it had 435+ apps to "upgrade" - took FOREVER, then didn't really notice any benefit...in fact, the responsiveness felt ever so slightly "stuck." Very quickly switched back to Dalvik, rebooted quickly, only had to upgrade about 250 apps, and the phone seemed snappier...could just be a placebo effect, but don't really see the point in the ART just yet....stickin' with Dalvik for now....
I switched to ART, phone is pretty fast as it is so visibly no noticeable difference, however utilizing a memory cleaning app/monitor it does use less of the system RAM in ART mode. Which seems like a good thing. I do have a couple of apps that occasionally crash in ART, but not enough to make it annoying yet. Just seeing how well it works, I do like the fact that it is using less system resources. Since there is not ROOT in the foreseeable future for ATT S 5's and I cannot get rid of bloatware, I will take what I can get.
I switched to ART.. Phone ran hot actually.. didn't seem any faster.. faster battery drian...switched back
Ok update. Started acting weird, apps were not functioning right, phone started having random lockup behavior. Switched back, all is good.

I know that with DynamicKat KK I can use my phone for 2 days without charging it if I'm just making calls and not playing with it at all.
Hmm that's a little bit on the short side, have you cleared cache or rebooted your phone recently?
Also, has anything been keeping your phone awake when you weren't using it?

It's more likely that wakelocks are draining your battery.
Look for the thread titled "[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks" in the AT&T S2 Skyrocket forum.

I can tell you that SwiftKey since they updated to the new free version it opens and runs Facebook in the background even if you don't have it set up to learn from Facebook. I thought this was very sketch of them and because of it I stopped using SwiftKey. I am also noticing Hangouts is running a lot more in the background that it used to. I use greenify to hibernate it but I have telephony notifications set up to push through so it'll bring it out of hibernation when I get a text. Hope this helps. If you're looking for a replacement for SwiftKey Fleksy is pretty good... It's not SwiftKey but it does a good job and has some cool features.

root your phone, install "wakelock detector", grant SU access, a take a look for a while. And check that process causes excessive battery consumption.:good:

You don't use task managers in Android.
Just my point of view:

You don't need a task manager. The phone has enough ram and if you really must need a app to hibernate, look into using the greenify app.

I can confirm these results. I uninstalled the app and just use mobile site. Try Greenify, it will work for this issue too.

Says the guy wanting to use task managers. Seriously, if the app is the issue why would you hunt for a work around? Get rid of the problem don't hide it.

I believe there is more to this than some of you are recognizing. I have a question. Go look in your battery menu and look at the apps using the most battery. Does it show each app keeping the mobile radio active? If so because i'm reading on reddit along with my personal experience. Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Facebook, Chrome, Play Music are doing that. No one seems to know why yet either. Tell me what you find out.

Well its pretty obvious for me. Ive never seen these apps really sot at the top other than google play services for a gps wakelock. But these apps are inconsistently at the top but when they are, they keep the mobile radio active for hours when screen on time might be a 1/4 of that.
Well then. Try app called Battery Doctor. It will let you see what's draining your battery and let you selectively close the ones you want to.
