HI Guys
I see some spikes in the current usage from battery pro but does not say why or which apps is using it.Is there some way to find it out?I know the battery use in settings. ut it does not count the widgets power draw and most applications.
Thanks
You could try CurrentWidget, it has a log function.
Thanks,yes it does have a log.However it does not tell whcih app was using the power,right?

closest ive come to such thing is Spare Parts or Spare Parts plus, which doesnt tell u the app but what consumed battery say :
Partial wake usage
or CPU
or network
other than that, ive read that Battery Monitor Widget & Process Monitor Widget were supposed to merge together at one point of day, to identify what process actually used mAH of battery but i think thats not done, yet
i could be wrong
PowerTutor gives some info on power usage by app
its simple to know about, use any application like taskmanager to view opened applications and see how many percent the processor is using to run it, more the percent is, more the battery will be consumed.
its not a final solution but you can consider it like a tip.
I use Drain-O-Meter. It lists top to bottom which apps are using the most battery.
Is drain o meter in the market? I can't see it

You can use TB to freeze unwanted application, ou you can uninstall too (safe removal list is available on stikies of appl & theme section)
But, your idea to improve battrey life is on debate. If you dont set autorefresh on stock / any news app like AP mobile and dont use widgets, then i dont think it will drain juice. You can install battery monito appl to find battery consumption by individual appl. at end of cycle it may not be even recorded amount (<0.1%).
Better battery stats is also a good app to keep an eye on your battery
This app is not mine and I am not affiliated with the developer in any way. Greenify is the main thing I've used to save battery life. It does require root to do so. Apps like YouTube, maps, facebook, etc, periodically wake your phone from sleep to "sync." What Greenify does is allow you to pick and choose user installed apps (so yes, delete or move maps / Facebook from system) to be forced into hibernation upon screen off. Facebook in itself is a battery hog so I'd suggest Fast Facebook to clear that up.
In my screenshot, I'm rocking 70% battery life with moderate usage because of Greenify.

Thought it was working but my constant use of Twitter on LTE always prevails at draining battery.

Remove Google maps and then installed from market to make it a user app. And then hibernated it. That saved a crap ton of battery for me right there. Also hibernated anything else that said it might be running and using battery.
Can someone figure out what's wrong and give me a solution ASAP.
If you go into setting and then into the apps folder, you can click on and stop and then disable any apps you don't use, their is a guide somewhere that gives a list of apps you can stop, as you don't want to disable a critical system app, maybe somebody know where it is.

Download Greenify from the Play store. After installing simply add those offending apps (Google Maps is key example of one) to the greenify list within the app and it will suspend activity from that app when you exit and thus it won't produce any wakelocks.
Most effective tool I have ever used for controlling wakelocks and improving battery life.

Im not rooted,and do you think google now is the real problem because since the recent maps update I haven't seen "maps" listed as a wakelock.
I found the list for the one x, but i am sure there is one for the one m7 somewhere.

I don't use Now because I did find it was a big drain on the battery. Also if I remember correctly with Now enabled it would turn on the gps at regular intervals to record your location even if the user has GPS turned off.
Also personally, I feel that you should root any android device that has an easy root method and can be reset back to stock. With this phone, it is easy to do both.
A bit of a list for the One M7 here.

Was almost about to start a new thread until I saw this one. This is a screenshot from yesterdays battery but do my wakelocks look excessively high? I just downloaded the wake lock app I can't really post screens of that the data wouldn't be too accurate but here are yesterdays wake locks.
What would you recommend. I am about to download greenify now

Those wakelocks are off the charts compared to mine for a day. Which rom are you running? I guess you may have Google Now active as your google stuff is crazy. If you don't use them you should remove or freeze: Twitter, facebook, hangouts, google+
Greenify will help for sure. In a full day ~18 hours, I usually have about 500 application wakelocks (same report from GSam) and over 300 of them are my corporate email client. Android system and Google Services are about 100 per day.
Greenify really helps, but a good custom rom/kernel combo is the key.
I use ViperOne and ElementalX kernel and I overclock CPU to 1.9 and GPU to 450 and I have best battery life I have ever had on the One with any rom. I easily can go 28 hours of medium use with about 5+ hours of screen on time in a single charge.

Yeah the Google services wakelocks really do look crazy high how do I know what apps to greenify. I honestly have a minimal amount of apps as my phone is still pretty new and havent gotten all my apps downloaded.
I cannot remember if I had Google now on for that day or not but now I have it turned off and am about to get greenify. As you can see I was only getting 12 hours away from the charger and I think the wakelocks are maybe what were preventing me from getting closer to ~19 I am on viper 1.2.1 stock Kernel

I don't know which wakelocks you're getting with GS, but I was getting some bad location related wakelocks. I use Google Now and turning off Location Services altogether wasn't an option. So what I did, after searching the BBS threads was to force stop and clear data on these apps:
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Maps
Google+
Then I deleted my Google account and signed back in. Whatever was going on, that did the trick.
Does any body have any tips to improve battery? Maybe some apps to freeze in Titanium, im also familiar with greenify. Just dont want to disable to many settings like sync etc since it kinda defeats the purpose of have the phone. I ended up disabling google now. Feels like it was draining my batt.
There's some great tips in Mega's op.
