I converted my HTC One into a Google Edition, and I'm not running 4.3 (clean wipe and flash). "Android System" is now misbehaving though, and I have absolutely no idea what the problem is. My battery life has also dropped. What's odd though, is that when looking at the statistics for "Android System," which is consuming 61% of the battery, it says that it's total up-time is merely 5:30s. I have a friend who's phone recreates a similar situation. Any help? I have Wakelock Detector but that's not showing anything out of the ordinary either. Thanks.

I came across this article http://www.androidcentral.com/new-google-services-uses-more-battery-old-and-google-needs-fix-battery-screen-already that explains a little of what's going on. I still feel the battery is draining a bit faster but, then again, I've been flashing ROMs quite frequently over the past week.

Haven't experienced any battery issues. I got the 4.3 update oTA but I don't think that has anything do with this. Try to see which apps are causing this.

I did the HTC One GE conversion with the 4.2.2 and the received the OTA.
I've also had some strange behaviour. I'll post some screens.
The battery seems to be draining fast, but worse are the stats which seem crazy.
Any idea?

Did you ever figure out how to fix it? I wiped my phone and reflashed the 4.3 ROM but I'm having the same issues still. I can't figure out what it is.
If you don't use your phone a ton, and there's no apps draining the battery while its sleeping, what's going to take up the most battery?
Android system.
Nothing's changed other than the way the system reports battery usage.

Of course, but even when my screen-on time was near 2 hours, it still remained like this. Trust me, I've considered everything.
I've also been experiencing this since I got to 4.3. I thought something was wrong so I got back to 4.2.2 with ARHD 13.4, then the android system went down to 20%. In 4.3 22.0 ARHD, its always aound 80+%.

+1.. Sense 4.3 (OTA) Android System > 70%
Has still nobody figured this out? It's clearly a problem with 4.3 itself, and not just the Google Edition, because people receiving the 4.3 Sense OTA have similar symptoms.
I have the same problem.
I doubt some app's battery usage now are count into android system such as music player. I used it at least half an hour today, but it doesn't appear in my power list.
I have this too, the problem is it seems to be mis-categorizing which is which. My screen time was around 2 1/2 hours, yet the screen was showing as having used like 2% of my battery yesterday (That's some *AMAZING* technology there).
I'm figuring what's happening here is the my Ingress which should be around the 5% mark is being labelled where the Play Services is, Screen should be where Ingress is, and Play Services where Screen is... It's like the three have been rotated. The actual raw stats then for each are accurate, like how long Ingress has kept the phone awake for etc, and how long my screens been on, and actual batterylife is still consistent, just they're all out of order.
Here's what it looks like today:

https://docs.google.com/a/c2s.co.nz/file/d/0BxtKTqslmyySdEVSTE5RSmpZa2M/edit?usp=sharing
8 minutes of Ingress does not use 85% vs the screen on using 2%
Still, no ideas of the cause, nor any ideas for a fix
Another sufferer here - HTC One standard with GPe conversion
I've this problem with my phone too!
I hate this draining...
i have the same problem..
So I managed to stop this on my device.
In the acount settings for my Google account, I disabled App Data sync.
With my usage I havent noticed any adverse effects across my 2 android devices (this HTC One GPe conversion, and a 2012 Nexus 7).
Android System is now using 15% of my battery.
Question
Hello there guys i am also having this android system on my htc one i just updated to 4.3 but i had the same problem before it so i mean i had it on 4.2.2 i did everything i read on the internet but i cant fix i would appreciate it if someone has found a solution :crying: kinda tired of this buggy android or whatever it is before that the battery percentage was like 1 or 2 % every day its like 10% now or even more sometimes
Same problems as you guys! Recently updated to 4.3 and Android system uses >70% every day.
Same problem here, Android system stays on top no matter I use the phone or not....
Hi. I'm curious after update zr to kitkat the android system use my battery 14~20%. I did the hard reset once but the battery usage still very bad. The Google service only use 6%. If I not mistaken during JB 4.3 the android system usage about 5%. Look like the android system killing my battery. Not the goggle service as many kit kat user faced. I'm root and location service disabled. Anyone having same issues?
Same
I have the same problem
Same here. Wake locks setups aren't helping much. So there is something going on in the background. Bad very bad!
Is anyone else having huge issues with battery drain after updating to 5.1.1. I've disabled all the crap, wiped my cache, disabled enhanced LTE. and have minimal apps installed besides stock. Just took the phone off the battery charger. It was at 100% when removed. It's been sitting for 40 min with the screen off. The battery is down to 93% already with 3% being used by Android system, 1% by system UI, and 1% by Android OS. This is nuts. I can't even get through 1/2 a day of regular use. Any ideas?
Big time. My phone isn't going to sleep. My Android System Stay Awake time is more than double my screen on time.
I'm having the same problem. I currently have Location History turned on to get more surveys on Google Opinion Rewards (I could turn that off if I wanted to); and I also know that because I'm not in WiFi during the day, the Lollipop mobile radio active bug keeps the radio awake way longer than it should. It's crazy that I can leave my phone alone during the day and watch it drop ~5% an hour because of the horrible standby behavior.
There is something wrong with your phone or app. I have about 100 apps. No problem here.
This is the international version of the phone

Or it's something to do with the AT&T version of the firmware as yours is an international version and not having issues.

Battery drain issue is related to the AT&T 5.1.1 firmware.

I guess it might make sense to stay on 5.0.2 in hopes of a future bootloader unlock and to stay away from a potential battery draining bug. If only AT&T would embrace a more open approach to this model phone. I only got this phone because the nexus was out of stock and I was in need of a new phone. My trusty old S3 was a godsend, with its unlocked bootloader and fully open platform. The fact that AT&T is closing up the ability to root the phone is drastic enough, let alone introducing bugs that make you want to throw the phone at the wall (battery drain).
How can I see what is keeping my phone awake without root? It's staying awake 3/4 of the time and below is a shot of my app usage. What I can tell it's a system issue, but not sure. And yes I factory reset twice and wiped cache.
Same here. factory reset cache wipe x2 and have everything non essential disabled. It's driving me nuts! This phone was a rockstar until this update. Going to best buy tomorrow and will see if the Samsung folks can reinstall the update or something. I'll post what I find out.
Battery life is worse than my old s4. The screen barely takes any of it, when it used to be more than half the battery life on my s4. Yet I still get about the same screen on time.
Yup I completely agree. Left my phone at 53% overnight and I woke up to the phone completely drained and dead. It's ridiculous.
I noticed something odd. On wifi, battery life is great, maybe 1% every 2 hours idle. But without wifi, battery life goes down 10% an hour idle.
Finally made it to the Samsung center at best buy. The guy was able to force the update again and everything went smooth. So far maybe a little better, not sure yet. I'll post when I know for sure if it worked and was a bad update.
So after the forced re-do of the update it wasn't any better. List 20% at night with everything off. Dido another factory reset and cache wipe and that seems like it might have fixed it. Only 4% list last. Not as good as it was but definite improvement. Hope this helps anyone else with same issue.

TurboRZR please update... would love to know if that fixed it before I wipe my S6 for a second time.
I too am having an issue with the new 5.1.1 update where my "Android System" is getting stuck in a stay awake loop draining my battery. Sometimes a simple restart will fix it for a few hours, but it will always come back.
I installed wakelock detector and set it up to run on a non-rooted phone. When I pulled the statistics , the biggest battery drain I had under "Android System" was diagnostic.client.network. Nothing else even came close to the drain this resource was pulling.
This was as far as I was able to get as I have no idea what that is or how to disable it if I even should.
I have resolved the issue on my S6 Edge, I even attempted a factory reset which didn't resolve the issue. I had noticed my Wifi usage in GSAM was very high (50-70%) and after some searches I found that someone else posted in a different forum (I think it was the S6 Active forum) that the issue was related to multicast being enabled on wifi routers. I disabled it on my fios router (it's in a hidden menu) and it resolved my drain. I am now at 12 days uptime without a random drain. I also had to disabled Enhanced LTE as that was causing a HUGE drain at times when I didn't have LTE. I hope this helps.
Hello everyone
I recently bought a used Xperia Z1 (C6903), which came with Lollipop 5.0.2 installed (Build .270). It has a defective screen, which is going to be replaced shortly. I mostly use it with a mouse via USB. Other than that, it is perfectly fine.
On Thursday, I inserted my SIM card on the device and installed the latest build available for this device, which is 14.6.A.1.216 (Lollipop 5.1.1) via Flashtool, making sure I did a factory reset. On Friday, I rooted it using KingRoot (promptly replacing it with SuperSU) and, as I did my research first, installed Wakelock Detector to compare the battery between each Android version. On 5.0.2 battery was pretty good, maybe because the phone didn't have the SIM card inserted, but still used WiFi and had a lot of apps which were left by the previous owner (Such as Facebook and FB Messenger, which both are battery hoggers). Even then, the phone had tremendously good battery, managing to reach 3 days on a full charge (I observed that before buying it). The only problem was that the phone overheated a bit.
Now that I have installed 5.1.1, things got worse. The only good things are that the overheating problem is gone and the performance seems a bit better. However I saw that for many, the battery was way better on 5.1.1 than on 5.0.2. This isn't the case for me. The battery drops approximately 1% each 30 minutes, with the screen off. I don't have mobile data on, as I always use WiFi, so the radio active bug doesn't affect me (right?). I have disabled most, if not all useless apps or things that would keep using the phone's resources. I disabled them, not uninstalled them because the phone has a problem with root permissions, saying that system is not mounted as R/W but still giving apps root access and they can disabled apps just fine. Currently I have none of my apps installed with the exception of Wakelock Detector, thanks to the battery drain and the defective screen which prevent me from doing much. STAMINA mode is on, but I don't notice it working too well, as it doesn't turn WiFi off when the screen is off, even though that option is turned on. I cannot deliver an exact screen on time as don't use the phone that much, but it is average 3-4 hours.
Wakelock Detector tells me that the phone has been awake by 12%, even though there aren't any wakelocks nor apps that would take batery. I would have tried with BetterBatteryStats but it is a bit confusing to use for me. Most people here on this phone's XDA forum complain about the battery in Lollipop, but Kitkat has provided them very good battery life.
Is there any way to fix this? I will provide anything that is asked, such as screenshots of Wakelock Detector, etc.
Should I downgrade to 4.4.4? (Build .157 or whichever you recommend) or perhaps install a custom rom based on 4.4.4, like iHackers? I would test them myself, as it is the best way of telling the difference, but I have a very bad connection and downloading files over 1GB+ takes 5 or 6 hours, only if it doesn't disconnect automatically. The most important things for me are the performance of the phone and the battery life.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Right. I will use it, thanks for the tip. As you have to downgrade to KitKat in order to install custom recoveries and the like, I already did so. And I discovered something new, which wasn't on Lollipop. KitKat's battery stats show that 39% of the phone's battery is used up by the screen, even though I barely use it and it is on the lowest brightness possible. Other than that, another culprit is the mobile signal, which shows a high usage of battery.
EDIT: I have now installed the rom and indeed, the battery problems seem to be gone. Battery isn't dropping as it did, and Wakelock Detector says that the phone is now 1-2% awake
At 1 point, 5.0.2 had a lot of battery problems and performance issues
Are u facing any on MX now ?

So far, battery has been perfect the phone easily lasts 1 day and still has 40% left. I guess that could be better, but I am satisfied with it
One thing I have noticed is that even though the ROM has much bettery battery management than the stock rom, it feels somehow slower. In developer options, the "Force GPU rendering for 2D" option is enabled. I disabled it and weirdly, the phone seems to be faster and smoother, like it was before. The opposite of this should be happening, as I've read that it instead makes the phone smoother than having it ticked off

Hi
I've reflashed the ROM, stock kernel and now it seems perfect.
What does advanced kernel offer in your honest opinion than the stock kernel

I normally would test stock, then go ahead testing a custom advanced kernel and compare the findings and differences over a few days of usage.
However, will be using stock for now as it hasn't given me any real problems with performance and battery

There's no such issue with this update.
I'm sorry to say this, but things are now where they were before I flashed MX Rom
Three days ago the battery started draining like before, with high usage of the process "Android System", approximately 30%. The screen also has high usage, but really shouldn't as screen on time is barely one hour. I also learned how to properly use BetterBatteryStats, and it reports that the device has 100% no or unknown signal. The phone also is doing weird beep sounds around the camera area. I've factory reset the device, but it didn't do anything. In fact, it is worse now. Battery drain is approximately 3% an hour. And that is with WiFi, Mobile Data and almost everything else off. I also don't have any apps installed. The same happens with Android Kitkat. A lot of apps are also disabled.
Hi.
I'm currently using my old moto x with stock android 5.1. due to unforseen circumstances.
After upgrading to 5.1 I noticed that the original battery was shot so I replaced the battery, which was a bit of a nightmare but I got it done in the end.
Anyway I noticed that the new battery still wasn't so great so I've been looking at the battery page and noticed that the device is constantly awake. Now I know to moto x has two contextual cores to listen to voices and movement etc. so maybe this keeps the phone awake? If so it seems a bit silly.
I think I will have to reset the phone to see if the cores or an app I have installed.
