Android system highest battery usage help me find the problem? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states I'm having an issue which a lot of people have generally and some find fixes others don't, I've looked around tried a few things but none seems to solve the problem! Now I'm running the latest version of Rapture ultimate variant on 5.0.1, the first night after installing this rom I was at 100% didn't charge once throughout the whole day, screen was #1 on battery drainage, had a decent SOT of 6 hours and 30 minutes I believe that's good but you tell me [emoji14], anyways the following days it's been android system with an average of 24% it's really starting to annoy me as its brought down my screen time a bit here's some pics of my states an what's android system running, I have several things frozen as well that are listed why there listed idk but several are frozen! If you know of any fixes to solve android system from being such a high usage please let me know! Thanks!

Stock battery app doesn't provide enough information to solve the problem. Apps such as Wakelock Detector are needed to drill down to meaningful information. There are also lots of existing threads that provide great instructions on how to improve battery life.

Well what did you do lol

I am also having the same issues. I am fairly certain it is caused by WiFi calling or volte.
How did u fix? Why won't u tell us!!!! Lol

Give me a min I'm trying to remember I froze something g with titanium but I can't remember lol

I froze a bit of stuff that was listed in the android system from my pic in OP then gave it a day an noticed it started going down now it's dormant at only 5% an screen is at 17% exactly the way I like it oh and I'm getting more than a days worth on one charge with 6-1/2hrs + SOT, I'll put pics up of a list of what I froze , not just the android system stuff but what I froze in general

Somewhere within this list one of them was causing android system to be high which one for I'm not sure of but try the list give it a good 2 days or so from 100% to 0% battery and if it worked then I'm glad if not unfortunately you should try some other things, also try wake lock detector(root required) as the other poster stated as well as better battery stats (cost money and requires root)

So how's it going? Still having high usage on android system?
I think I have it pinned down.
I am fairly certain it's caused by ims settings, ims logger, or ims service. I noticed none of these were disabled in your list, so I'm curious If u had improvement.

It's going absolutely great here's an example of how my battery had been since I did that list
as for ims service and the others that's for instant message service so if you text it would affect your texting an to my understanding would force crash whenever you try to text now I haven't disabled it but I'll go ahead an do that for you an let you know if I am still able to text people or not
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Okay I disabled all the ims services as listed here
I sent several text they were a success I also tested Facebook messenger it was also a success as always I suggest making a nandroid but yes so far I have no force closes or anything now I just did it so I'll leave them frozen an report back in a few hours to let you know if I had any problems best of luck!

It does affect texting a little, no fc, but messaging app takes a long time to open and sometimes texts come in twice. Weird. But my battery life has been excellent. Thanks for the help, homie.

Does your temple run lag?
I play this whenever I'm bored, but SOMETIMES it lags, SOMETIMES it doesnt even when it's on 1900/1900 performance .... why is this? is it because of the tweaks ?
And sometimes my camera takes like 10 seconds to load the app. why is this? why don't my settings save?

Generally, slow startup times and "lags" can be attributed to;
a. Too may scripts running (custom roms)
b. Too many processes running
c. Rogue apps
d. 1 or more corrupt applications
When performance hits a wall, the best thing would be to either uninstall utility apps and/or apps you no longer want or need. Also, removing some special scripts you installed may also improve performance (rooted devices).
As a last case, if running a custom rom, back-up your important stuff and wipe the device, and re-install a fresh rom.
If it's a stock device, a factory reset will do this also. Note that you should always have backups of your data before doing either.
Read the reviews for Temple Run, many people experience lag since the people who made it half-assed it pretty much unlike the iOS version.

Scripts are in the init.d folder since they start on start up.
Rogue apps I'm not sure of what they even are.
Corrupt Apps are apps that can be battery hogs or ones that get into your personal files. An example of a corrupt app is TripleTown. After a couple of days I checked my battery use and I found TripleTown using more battery than android system.

Rogue apps are poorly coded and cause a lot of strain on the CPU, and your battery. Getting rid of these helps speed up your phone and can extend the life of your battery. To find these, download an app from the market called watchdog, it will search for programs that are using an excessive amount of CPU, and will shut them down

Try upping your minimum CPU frequency to 368. That solved a lot of lag issues for others

I've had relatively poor battery life as well... I went 12 hours with a recharge from 10 to 50% again before it completely drained...
I'm not impressed with the battery on this phone but everything else has been great.
... I'm starting to think I'll have to make my own Qi Charger for pant pockets... embed it in your pocket so whenever the phone is there it's charging. I'm seriously considering trying this to see if it's possible... if so, i'm doing it for sure. Or a carrying case with an extra battery and a Qi Charger... or a Qi charger dock for the car... you get the idea. Wireless charging shouldn't be the fix for poor battery life, but it definitely could help it.

Task managers mess around with Android's memory management and it is fairly well known that they usually end up draining more battery than they save. Try getting rid of it.
Also other people are reporting that the battery life gets better after a few days of using. Is yours really new? Im not sure how true that is btw.
Probably a combination of that task killer and a wake lock.

Install Franco's kernel. Battery life has been outstanding (1 Gmail account sync, 1 Exchange account sync, maybe 30 minutes of calls and 100+ texts a day; I have location services & Google Now enabled as well). I average 3+ hours screen on time and I normally end the day around 30% ...
I would stay away from task managers ... it's not that I know what's going on more than you or anyone else, but well established and respected kernel developers recommend against it. If these guys don't know then I honestly don't know who else does ...

Yep...20-30 minutes won't tell the tale. I'd also recommend Brightness Toggle widget...allows a few extra steps (16 total, IIRC) of brightness control over stock, to fine tune screen brightness, often another culprit.

Terrible battery life

Ive had the note since a day before launch and i havent been able to get more than three hours screen time out of it on auto brightness and simply texting or web browsing. It also has a lot of performance issues i cant figure out. Like severe animation lag when sending a hangout message, or huge keyboard typing delays.
Ive factory reset several times, and there arent any wakelocls. Standby time is great actually.

Simply saying you have a bad battery life without itentifying if you are rooted or not, without providing any information about your battery, without showing your wakelock is rather...not a good way to acquire help.
P.S simply rooting and installing xpose will not give you battery life

That's actually what i ended up doing. Too early to tell, but I'm at an hour screen time (mostly hangouts, web browsing, email) and at 72% battery. Hasn't seemed to help performance much. I have 5 pages of apps including all the stock stuff. I lost 10% battery listening to an audible book for an hour too which seems high.
My issue is charging via pc USB port. with stock rim it would charge fine full charge as normal and the same with note 3 I had custom rom and with stock no issue. But with custom rom same thing running same apps and only playing Google music on the background the battery doesn't charge as well as it did. Not sure if there is any tips out there about that but as mentioned the only difference is that this is a note 4 the others note 3 and even on this for stock rom battery charges well with USB pc output. This is normally at work while sitting down on my desk and connected to my pc. While listening to music on headphones.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine did the same, it actually lost more power than it could charge, it went away, I'm not sure what I did, but now it's just as good as my note 3
Thanks for the input I don't want to go back to stock since these roms are just to smooth running on skyfall now. I'll likely wait and test it out for a few more days. But mine currently does trickle charge but so slow. My worry is long trips. But overall battery life is good.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yesterday I got 4 hours screen time with 10% left. Android OS taking up the vast amount of the battery. That is decent, but I was really expecting more in the 5-6 hour area, especially considering my light usage model. I dont play games, or watch videos on it.

Terrible Standby Battery Drain

I was super busy today so I barely looked at my phone so I was expecting my battery life to be in the high 80s but when I looked at it, it was at 31%... with only 28 minutes of screen on time...
By percentage the biggest drainers are Google+ (13%) - which I do not even use... -, Standby (10%) and Screen (6%).
I'm rooted on Pure Shamu with Elemental Kernel (for RGB control, no other mods with the kernel), if that matters. I can't think of anything I've enabled that would kill the battery so hard.
Sounds like a wakelock in either the ROM or kernel to me.
I'm having a similar issue with Lean Kernel.

Yeah, Google+ had almost 9 hours of wake time and 2 hours of CPU time. I have no idea why, I don't even use Google+ and I have location services and photo backups disabled.
I've completely deleted the Google+ profile though and I've disabled account syncing for everything other than Gmail. I'll see if that makes any change tomorrow.

How do you disable it, it is not listed as an app.
Or uninstall the app. No point in having the app installed but disabling it, it'll take more space.
This is why I prefer minimal gapps, Google includes so much bloat ware.
I also recommend using app ops to deny access for keep awake on play services. It'll help with standby battery significantly.

i found this foe google play services last night, so i disabled iys background data use. i dont remember being allowed to do that for google play services. which i also assume will keep it from waking the device when its sleeping(since data is not allowed).
anyways, to the op, do you have photos uploading to the cloud? if so, disable that service, thats what uses the g+ app when you dont use it.

No I had photo uploading disabled. But I disabled Google+ all together before I plugged it in for the night and I'm having much better results. I've only had about 9% of battery drain with mostly standby and some light browsing before I got out of bed this morning (I've been stuck at my computer all day so I haven't needed to use my phone much). Much, much better than the 70% drain I got yesterday from the same.
Since uninstalling isn't a default option in app setting for G+ I imagine I'd need to download something with super user access to do so? Any recommendations?
I am getting killed by the Google Play Services. It was fine till yesterday. Suddenly from today it starts drinking battery!
This is a cool phone. Google has released new software (lollipop). But it just really sucks that a phone with such a beautiful ui and really cool features is such a mess. And yes this os is a mess. Most of us are disabling features such as ambient display, google apps, location etc.. just to be able to last anywhere from half a day to a day. Really depends on how much a person has had their screen awake and how much is disabled to attempt to make it through a day. The battery is just not large enough for the 4k display. If everything were operating correctly I would feel like I'd spent my money as well as I ever had on a mobile device. What is the value of having a 2.7ghz processor if we have to under clock it? I'd like to use the speed of the processor but I slow it down also as I am fighting for battery life as much as I can. Today is the first time I've used battery saver and my experience is that it helps tremendously on my phone personally. But it also ruins many of the reasons I bought the phone. I like the animations of lollipop. I've always reduced animations to .5 through developer settings. I hope Google is seriously trying to iron this out. It's a big deal that all of us are fighting for battery life and Google apps gone wild are hurting many of us. As far as I can see my opinion is this os is a great concept but needs much work to be considered anywhere near as efficient as KitKat was. But the real question after all I've said is Have any of us that purchased a nexus phone never had to fight for battery life? We knew what we were getting into when we bought a nexus. Things will get better. I just wonder when and if this screen will ever be controllable with IMO such a small battery for such a large 4k display. Enjoy your nexus'. I am the best I can fighting for battery life.

Looks like something with VR got hung. I'd go wipe the cache and data for those apps, then reboot the phone.
Without root your only other option is to factory reset the device.

Before anyone can be of much help, we will need to know what is causing the drain. Use an app called Waklock Detector to get 12 hours' of info, then post screenshots of those readings. That will tell you what is causing the drain.

Heres the wakelock detector.
Wow cell standby is killing your battery, but it's definitely not normal at all. Almost completely drained in 5 hours with the screen off most the time...
Wake locks don't even look too bad...

Bad battery?
That kinda drain has got to be something other than apps cause wow ive never seen battery life so bad especially not being rooted
Debloat your phone and get rid of all carrier iq. Cell standby keep on cause an app is causing it to drain. You may need a full wipe cause something hung up.
i got a new battery and still the same.

If u like stock like me flash jovy stock deodex or one of the others has a few stock but has slight mods to it. I am using jovy and it is great no issues at all. But u need to wipe for a clean install to help ya with the cell standby.

ive tried both jovy and even some of the other that used jovy with clean install. probably something is wrong with the phone itself.
