Did this begin today?
Since this morning I notice Android System has been eating more juice than I have ever seen it.

Hey hey.
I've had the same thing in the last week. Only thing using more than anything else was the system & kernel. I even deleted ALL my play store apps & it was still there.
In the end after 3 days & nights of this I did a complete hard wipe & started from scratch.
Now with the same apps installed I'm not having any problems..... Let's see what happens.

I have the same problem since I used 5.0.1.
I have figured out that restarting the phone resolves the problem but it still reappears randomly.

Very odd and yeah, very convenient to happening at this particular time.
It seems to have stopped for now, but we'll see how the rest of today goes.

Use wake lock detector and try block every single kernel and google wakelock.

My old phone had the same exact problem and wake locks as in the OP pictures. Battery drained fast and the phone was always warm too (even when it was supposed to be asleep). It turned out to be a bad cpu and I had to get the phone replaced under warranty.
Based just on my experience, I recommend factory resetting and running the phone for several days (a week if possible) without any apps. If the problem goes away after several days, install your apps. Then if it reappears, it's an app.
If the problem persists before you reinstall apps, then it COULD be your cpu malfunctioning. Then you should have the phone warrantied or looked at.
Two more things to try:
1) turn wifi off and then turn off the screen. Let the phone sit for about an hour then look at the battery graph to see if the phone slept during that time (you'll see a break in the solid Awake line). If it did, then your router is somehow keeping your phone awake.
2) If you have a micro SD in the phone, take it out and turn off the screen. After an hour, do as I mentioned in number 1, where you check to see if the phone slept. If it did sleep, then there is a file causing the phone to stay awake.
I had this issue on my Note 4 when I first got it. I took the card from my old phone and just popped it into my Note 4. Something was on the card that the old phone used, but caused the Note 4 to stay awake.
So what I did was copy all my music and important personal files off of the card and onto my pc. Then I reformatted the card FROM ANDROID. Then I copied all my files back. I haven't had an issue since.
I hope any of this is useful!

I feel my battery life has come dowb after kl7 update..check scrrenshot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I am not seeing exact issue how much android OS usng,
looking to your screenshot, display is just 6%, means hardly you have utilised your device. it was mostly in screenoff state. Ok when you dont use your device, but OS is running in background so just OS but nothing else have drain it.
Now another thing looking to image i can say in 9hr your battery dropped 50%
it means > 5% / hr, that actually i count the measure.
In idle state it shud be 2-3 % with 3G n Data sync On. So here it is more.
anyway once let it drain completely then recharge it fully n count drain %/hr.
I am using few stuff, e.g
Autostart - just kill the app you dont using
Phoneweaver - It autometically controls my data connection e.g. just after 15min to my sleeping time, it gets turnoff my data, n swithon b4 few min i wakeup.
SetCPU - I set profile to use CPU <500 in screenoff state.
My batt seems to last longer on kl7.
Your is idle. it seem 3%/hr even using screen quite good time.
My sisters Note had same crazy issue with Android OS eating battery. Tried many things to find the culprit but only thing that fixed it was full wipe and reinstall ROM. No issues now.

il calibrate battery and see hwz it working
I have a very long time use with this firmware and very happy with the update.
I just disabled all automatic synch and the samsung apps notification and things like this.
3g is always enabled and some hours a day wifi is also enabled
Don't know if it will work for you but I had the same problem. Believe it or not a simple hard reboot, solved the issue. Was identical to mine using Android OS over 70% while screen was at 15%. Programs added and deleted were still running around in the OS until that reboot(I'm guessing). Let me know if that works.
seems better. i did a complete battery drain and recharged from 0 battery. now after 5 hours after complete recharge, im at 84%. 2 push emails..full time wifi connectivity, facebook/twitter/socialhub sync always on. 5 min phone call. and thats it.i think its better.
For those who do not realize it yet, having Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc syncing every minute takes a lot of power. You cannot expect the phone to be doing this for 12 hours straight.
If you have a lot of battery ussage with screen off, try to disable account synchronization and see what happens then.
You need to evaluate if you need to see every social network update on the instant, or you carry extra batteries with you, or you are able to find a place to charge every few hours.
What you cannot expect are miracles.

Hmm, something has definitely changed for me.
Up until recently I was getting two days use out of a charge with wifi, gps & 3g enabled syncing 2 gmail, 1 yahoo account plus twitter and google reader stuff. Last couple of days Android OS has gone nuts and I'm getting similar readings in terms of usage to those quoted in this thread. This morning I've drained 20% in an hour with a bit of internet use.
Only thing I have changed is updating a few apps and I've put the thing in one of those silicon protection cases but that can't be the reason(can it??!!).

ICS update Battery Issues

Alright so like many other people on this and other forums, I updated to ics 4.0.3 two days ago and been experiencing battery issues since. But my battery issue is a bit different from what I've read about. My note has no problem going into deep sleep, when i go sleep and wake up deep sleep is at 98-99% and my battery drains about 1%. But when I turn on my phone and start using it no matter what I do, the battery drains about 1% every 3-5 minutes.
Phone settings:
- I always have my brightness at 0 and have screen filter on to make it even less bright(even though battery drains about the same with or without this on) (batter settings still show that screen is taking up most of the battery)
- With wifi on or off battery drains just as fast.
- I havnt started my new data plan yet so im always on airplane mode( battery drains the same with this on or off)
- My note was never rooted
- I basicly have no widgets on anymore because i deleted most of them but doesnt help battery life.
- With power savings on or off battery still drains the same amount
- The only apps i have installed after ics are ones from googe play(netflix, chrome, and other simple apps)/ i deleted my emulators and other apps that iv'e downloaded and installed
Can anyone please help me with this issue
bump
You are on Stock ICS ? Go to Settings>Battery And Post the Screenshot Here. It will help us to determine the exact situation..
Sorry I'm new im guessing stock ics means official release from kies, then yes. I dont know how useful these battery ss will be because a lot of the time im either idle or charging.

Did you perform a hard reset on your device after the update?
if not, then see if you can try it and get back again with your screenshots.. don't forget to do some re-calibration also on your battery. This works on my end before. Not sure if it works on yours, but hey.. there's no harm in trying right? just give it a shot bud...
Cheers!

Turn off the sync. Kill Background applications and See if it works for you...
Also download Battery Calibration from play store... Open it when its fully charged and start calibration... Let your phone battery fully drained and then charge it again to full without pauses...

I have sync accounts off and i only have my gmail account in the options to turn it on unless you mean something else.
I'm not really sure how to kill background applications is it the cashed applications? because ive tried killing running + cashed.
I just installed battery calibration and it says i must root my phone 1st =/

Wtf are you trying to brick op's phone? You should get a warning..
Op never ever ever ever ever ever do a factory reset from ANY ics stock kernel.. It will get your phone bricked.. Or maybe but just maybe not? Anyways will you take the chance?
I was on 4.0.3 stock and yeah the battery it's horrible.. Don't know why the phone barely goes deep sleep.. Check this with cpu spy free app from market
Since the phone upgraded itself to 4.0.4 I have been able to run 14 hours with 5 hours screen and the phone its always on deep sleep
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
yea i knew theres a huge risk involved =/ , is there anyway i can update to 4.0.4 because it's not showing up on kies
Yeah following the several guides around.. They all lead you to download 4.0.4 and a gingerbread rom from Sammobile, downgrading your phone to gingerbread by flashing it via odin and then flashing ics 4.0.4 via odin also .. So go ahead and read some..

Check Android Development Section...
cpuspy and betterbatterystats to check partial wakelocks and whats keeping phone awake. A gazilion threads on that. read them. You need these as Samsungs analytical view state nothing usefull, they need to fire the designer of that.
Next to this I see lot of screen on time, how much time roughly is that in total, you are actually using device?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
my phone doesn't have the deep sleep problem people have. my on screen time is about 6 hours before it drains completely and by on screen time it could be on the home screen with no wifi/net and no apps running with just the screen on, and the battery would still go down 1% every 3-5 min
So ics 4.0.4 came out for the UK version of note so i updated via kies. This didnt fix battery life at all, in addition iit came with another bug where my phone gets hot and drains battery when turn off the screen after playing any media file....So my question now is can i root 4.0.4 if i have the Emmc bug?

[Q] Battery Analysis

Hello, can someone give me a hand with the analysis of my battery consumption?
I used to get 3-4-5 hours of Sceen On time. Now I can barely get 2 hours!
The same images attached are now included directly into the post:

With this last image I have no idea why it shows this. I've never been without internet, and I always have 3G coverage except in a few instances when I'm on the train going through a small tunnel or something (it drops to GPRS for about 30 or 40 seconds).
Thanks guys... I'm so confused...
cool picks, got cpuspy pics of same timeframe?
I like to cross reference and check if numbers add up.
Did you switch roms/ kernel lately, or update?
Battery getting full charge? mv?
Now the partial wakelocks are interesting. Try switching off fast dormancy by dialling *#9900# and selecting option that should/could take care of svnet.
Audioout probably by turning off options in settings then sound then all bottom choices.
the rest I am not sure, google partial wakelock and the service name.
Other then that, if nothing has changed except battery lifetime. Try safe kernel, then completely go to zero situation where you were getting the better battery life, then eliminate other apps perhaps.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm on full stock 2.3.6. I don't really like the ics builds. No other apps to measure.
The kernel is always the highest usage on my phone. What can cause that?
I'll still CPU spy and run it tomorrow and republish here. Thanks for your reply.

Hello zkyevolved, which version of BetterBatteryStats are you using?
I ask this because on my device, under Other and Since unplugged options, there is no Deep Sleep entry directly below Wifi Running. The entry shown directly below Wifi Running is Awake.

Hello! Thanks for the reply. I checked my version and it's 1.9.0.0. It was just updated the other day if I recall correctly.
I will update again today after a full days use in the battery. I'll post again with screenshots from both applications.
For the moment I've only disabled fast dormancy.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
awesome. You know analyzing is pretty difficult on android lol. sometimes I get frustrated and just reset to starting conditions and reinstall everything. Which is safe on gb, not ics due to superbrickbug triggers in ICS kernel.
Analyze first though Am interested in results.
If battery life is important and you dont mind warrantee, I can recommend the k2-11 or k2-12 speedmod kernel on gb roms. It was best batterylife for me 4-5 hours full screen on time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
a quick recheck, in current pictures you have 11 hours of measurement time with only 5 in deep sleep and 2 hours onscreen time?
That means 3 hours phone is awake. So it does seem classic deepsleep issue. I am no pro btw, but thats what I suggest monitoring for now.
When phone doesnt deepsleep cpu cycless on 200mhz doing nothing, that consumes energy, we are looking to minimize that.
Some of the stuff I mentioned earlier, partial wakelocks is whats actually keeping phone awake. I hope the fast dormancy off takes care of some keep awake time.
Now when measuring dont check phone every five, ten, twenty minutes, sometimes it takes about 15 min to go to deepsleep, thusvyour manually keeping it awake. Been there done that.

Hey everyone! Here are some updated screen shots:
This was my activity today: I did listen to some music, I mostly answered messages. Browsed very little. I skyped over HSPA for about 5 minutes. I went for a quick jog with endomondo using the GPS and music in the background via bluetooth for a total of 30 minutes. I used wifi for most of the day. As you can see, for a 2/3 of the day it was in deep sleep, while the rest was a mix of other speeds. I imagine 200-500 was the light usage (endomondo with screen off, bluetooth headphones, skyping OTA, etc.) and when the screen was mostly on and browsing, taking screen shots (I took a lot today, to annotate the screens I was looking at), etc.
Thanks everyone for your continued help.
Ohh, and the SVNET service is still there, I turned it off yesterday, and then today at around 5 o'clock I saw that I had about the same battery left as other days, so I turned it back on again.
ok then its something else keeping svnet up. Dunno about that.
For the rest its best for comparison of stats to measure same timespan, so reset stats when you unplug phone.
Anyway it is deepsleep issue, your phone is not appearing to go to deepsleep ideally.
Cause I cant make out the numbers from what I see, and what it is keeping awake, I recommend starting new. So save messages with an app from play, apps with titanium backup, and efs folder if you never saved, check my thread on that. Contacts and calander in gmail. Photos manually Backup on external sd card and remove after.
On GB do a factory reset with code in dialer ending in 3855, that completely resets device. That should do the trick. I think from settings storage format sd card, not sure if factory reset does that.
If you dont care for warrantee then perhaps speedmod k2-12 kernel is a good alternative to stock gb kernel in terms of battery life
That should fix it. Just dont restore apps with data, let it repopulate itself, that way if something is messed up there you can catch it.
If I am missing something, and anyone reads this, I am keen to learn

Xperia V always active

Spoiler
Okay, first of all, I'm on an Xperia V, with latest firmware (4.1), unrooted.
So lately I've been having trouble with battery life. I don't really use my phone much, since I've got a Nexus 7, but the phone just plows through the battery.
The problem was that the phone always stayed active, even with battery saving modes on. Now I didn't use many sensors, like GPS, NFC, BT, and WiFi Location, but still I couldn't get it to last very long.
Now two days ago, I factory reset it and set it up. I tried Smart Connect and Location Based WiFi to automate my phone, and battery life was pretty good, definitely better than previous.
But now today, my battery life is once again bad. I haven't really found the source of the problem, it's not an installed app that drains the battery, and the battery usage shows that 'Media' and 'Android System' drains the most battery, and that the phone stays active when it's sleeping.
I've also noticed that my signal drops frequently, even though I'm in the town.
What can I do?
TLDR; Xperia V, latest 4.1 firmware, unrooted. 'Media' and 'Android System' drain most battery, phone stays active all the time, no GPS, Location, NFC, BT. Tried factory reset. Don't know what to do. Frequent signal drops too.
I'm gonna try a factory reset without the SD-card, I don't even use it.
Here are battery and wakelock screenshots:

Err, that is normal use.
Your phone is in deep sleep for 49% off the time, that is normal. You have 38% battery after 21 hours use, that is good.
If you keep factory resetting then every time you boot it has to use media scanner again to rebuild its data bases..
My suggestion I'd to leave it for a few days to settle down, then see how it is

No, it can't be.
Android System and Google Services shouldn't drain 70% of the battery, neither should it keep the phone active 75% of the time, with less than two hours of screen on time. My Nexus 7 has been 'active' 20 minutes, with 5h of screen time and music playback.
I had the problem before, that's why I reset the phone, and now I have it again. I don't think it'll settle down.
You can always ignore my advice if you want.
But your own images show 49% deep sleep and 33% battery left after more than 20 hours use. Trust me this is good and normal, and most users here would bite their right arm off for that
Also, if you keep resetting you are going to drain the battery quicker.
But like I said, you are more than free to ignore this advice and keep resetting your phone.

Galaxy S4 Active - thousands of wlan_rx and deleted_wakelocks

After days of monitoring my Galaxy S4 Active (S4A) battery life using Betyer Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector and Network Log, I noticed that my battery life is suffering because of these:
Connected to Wi-Fi:
Thousand of wlan_rx_wakelock
Connected to cellular (3G/4G):
Thousand of deleted_wakelock
Something must have initiated the network connection and when it couldn't see the Wi-Fi, it keep deleting whatever wakelock there are.
At the end, it woke my phone about 50% of the time, so I can't have more than 8 hours of battery life. This is just like my old Thunderbolt phone.
I am rooted, stock ROM. I debloated as much as I can, incIuding network related so like AllShare.
I tried factory reset, not using any 3rd party app,etc to no avail.
I do see in the firewall log and network log, the KERNEL is sending and receiving tons of packet.
So it looks like Samsung made something to the OS that caused this.
Either that or the root cause it.
If you're rooted, do you see this in BBB or other battery monitoring app?
Functioning but not best solution is to disable WIFI when using Mobile Data.

1). Something is causing the network wake up. Even if I am NOT using Wi-Fi, I get deleted_wakelock instead, so much so that it took 50% of the time.
2). WiFi is always off when I am out and about (I use Llama to detect if I am not at home or work), but see no. 1
3). If I am at home or work and turned off Wi-Fi, then I'll be racking up charges for the mobile network (thanks to all carrier removing unlimited data).
The root of the problem is something causing this on the phone.
As mentioned above, I would like to get a consensus if anyone with a S4A seeing the same problem..
Havent had any of the issues you speak of. Im at 51% after a 16hr day. Been on Starbucks wifi most of the day/hour of being in the car. Made several calls and light data use. I purchased bbs when i had a s2, will reinstall and see what my logs say. Sorry your having issues.

Are you rooted by any chance?
Just to show how insane this issue is to me:
Screenshot 1: Using Network Log, Kernel is showing to make network connection to pretty much any networked devices in the subnet

what was your screen on time?
Anyone ROOTED his/her S4A and got the same issue?
I am not beginning to think the root is somehow causing this, because I remember when I first got the S4A, the root is not out yet but I have awesome battery life..
And yes, I installed the same apps before I rooted the phone except those that require root (Titanium Backup, etc.)
I rooted yesterday and installed stat apps and wake lock detector. I will let you know how it turns out and post some screen shots of the stats tomorrow after it analyzes a bit
