Android OS is killing my battery whenever i use wifi in my office, if i use wifi in home drain is ok. Not sure why device was awake for almost 7 hrs ?.
Any suggestions??
Theres some sort of glitch that cant be explained. Mine does the same thing with wifi at work. Apparently the phone can't handle high trafic networks or when you move around and the phone has to jump from router to router. It ends up creating a huge amount of wakelocks. Then you switch to LTE and you get drain from cellular network because its a battery hog. There doesn't seem to be any way around it as of right now.

There is a workaround, given you're rooted. I can confirm this

Did you try a factory reset and saw if the problem prevails with the stock set of apps?

Oh yeah and what's that? I'm rooted, rommed, and on the best kernel. Problem persists. And a factory reset will do nothing but waste that poor guys time.
Another thing i observed, even when wifi is off and i turned off screen..looks like device is always awake ?. I turend off wifi, location, disabled lots of apps using package disabler.... still no luck.
I am not rooted.
I haven't tried factory reset yet.
it's the wlan_rx_wake, and wlan_wake wakelocks. For me arter97 kernel has decreased the wakelocks but it doesnt eliminate them. Still better than stock. Meanwhile lets just wait for the marshmallow. The only hope.
I have the arter kernel too and honestly have more faith in him fixing it than a new touchwiz build.
Yeah..just waiting for Marshmallow. . Hoping it would fix this issue ?

I've had the same problem, and I've solved it. It's just a rogue app, and I can bet on it. After a clean install (I know it's a pain) just restore few apps at a time, till you start getting the drain again, that way, narrow down on the app(s) causing the WiFi wakelock. Does your problem persist even on a clean ROM install, with no user downloaded apps?

I'm on arter kernel, and Dr. Ketan's ROM. Greenified FB and fb messenger. With WiFi switched on the whole night, I got 2% drain in a period of 6-7 hours. Also, try disabling the Android device manager and see if that helps
Sure... tomorrow ill try factory reset and clean install... i'll report if i see any improvements

Its not a rogue app. My home wifi has no drain but my work wifi does. It's a bug.

I'm sorry to hear that. Guess you're outta luck till there's an official update, then. But OP seems to have a rogue app
I have also noticed this issue. When on campus with WiFi switched on all day, android system kills my battery and keeps my phone awake constantly. But at home, this isn't an issue. It more than likely has something to do with the constant switching of routers that have the best signal. Even though I have my "Keep WiFi on during sleep" setting set to "only when plugged in" Android System still tends to keep my phone awake. Unfortunately I can't root and switch kernels because I have ATT ..hopefully Marshmallow will help.

So to quickly sum up, the battery of my Moto X is good for precisely 3 days after I got it, and then started draining quickly in it's sleep. I performed a factory reset, installed the same applications, and the battery was once again good for 3 days, until it experienced the same symptoms. Anybody have any idea why this would happen? Thanks.
P.S. Battery stats reports that my Wi-Fi is always on even if I turn it off. The only way to "turn off" the wifi is to turn off the low-battery location tracking in the wifi menu, so this is kindof leading me to believe that the phone is pinging for location quite often, thus always keeping my wifi on. Just a thought.

Yep. I just ran my phone in safe mode for a bit and the battery is marginally better.
I troubleshoot for a living. You've already solved the mystery:
It's fine for 3 days. You install YOUR (key) usual apps. It doesn't sleep....
It's one of your apps

See you would be right, if it weren't for the fact that I install and completely set up all my apps within an hour of restoring the phone, and don't install any after that.
Ok so I've now taken the device out of safe mode, let it run on Wifi a bit, and then let it run on LTE. Even though the phone isn't registering it, the device is waking. I can determine this by the CPU run time vs the screen-on time vs the wake time. You can see in the screenshots.
You can see the dip as soon as I turn on LTE. The CPU total goes up so wakelocking is the problem on idle, even though it's not showing it.

Do you have a custom kernel or ROM installed? these kind of problems are usually caused by a 'bad flash'

So you're saying that out of ALL of your apps, it's impossible that one creates a rogue or persistent process? Lol. Well, you're wrong.
I'm done trying to help. Examine your apps. I gave you your answer.

that's not what I'm saying, and that's not what you suggested either. You said to examine the last after I installed and see if it's waking my device. Then I told you that I installed all my applications immediately after factory reset on the device. It makes no sense that an app would not display rogue behavior until three days later. Plus, after running in safe mode, the battery life did not improve.

Would you be willing to root your phone and installing a custom recovery so you can wipe cache and dalvik cache? Or maybe manually install a ROM yourself. Its worth a try. You can just Unroot it back if you don't want root

yes but I do not want to lose root as soon as the 4.4.2 update is released on February 1st. I plan on rooting the phone after that. I'm worried that after I root though, I discover it is a hardware issue, its going to be a long process of unrooting the phone to send back to Motorola.
Get Gsam and see what is going on. Simple. The stock battery info is next to useless.
Then you can take screen shots that have better info.

If you suspect its a hardware issue then its best to have the phone replaced as soon as possible before messing with it too much you know?

As you can see in under pics, android OS is on the top of the chart.
Try a lot to find out but still no clue, and is is weird in my google account syncing page?
And something seems to keep my awake all the time!
Please help me to find what is draining my battery? Or is is normal for Z3C?

Looks like a weak mobile network signal could be the cause. Go to Settings > More > Mobile networks > set "Preferred network type" to "GSM only"
I am not saying its your issue, but when I turn google now " voice - ok google detection" and from any screen is on, it just keeps my phone awake 100%. I turn it off and then it updates and comes back on, same issue.
drives me nuts stock everything
Install Wakelock detector by UzumApps.
Perhaps Xposed !
I think it xposed it self that drain battery, an alpha release is unstable.
I tried it i have the same mater, a clean install without xposed and battery is normal
I think you are right, I turn off the voice detection and it seems normal now. Observe a little longer to settle.

Have you tried restarting the phone? My android services battery usage climbs that high every few days and restarting seems to clear it up.

I know this issue has been addressed many times, but once again I need suggestions, my phone isn't rooted and I'm kinda avoiding to go there either, I've got nearly every application on power saving, but it doesn't even last me a day...
I've tried factory resetting it twice but still the same. Even had the phone checked through Samsung and they said its perfectly fine, the battery is good there's something else, I've installed Greenify but no idea whether it's working. Instagram keeps running in the background even after its being Greenified, what's the cause to this? :crying:

that's a lot of things that can happen, have you checked if your device have any factory defect ??
also your software version can be screwing with your battery (that's my case ZTO)
greenify it's not effective for non root devices
i reccomend to check these itens
Yes I've had the phone checked multiple times, Samsung has returned it after checking everything saying that the phone is perfectly fine... Also have a certificate with it saying the phone is perfectly okay, it's just been a few months since I bought it brand new... It used to be fine when it was on lollipop, since upgrading it's started these issues...
It may not help, but try going into storage and clearing the cache. Mine was starting to get horrible battery life for some reason, but that seemed to have helped a ton.
I had already tried that but somewhere on this forum I read to disable Tim android device management from device administrators, today is the second day with moderate usage and I'm still at 39 percent... I suggest you guy try it out as well

Hello all! New owner of the wonderful LG G6! I have a bit of a concern. I notice when I'm using wifi, the up/down arrows inside the wifi icon are always going crazy. The "down" arrow hits EVERY SINGLE second. But if I turn off wifi and just use LTE it stops.... I noticed this same exact thing on my previous phones, S7, J7 and now this. Anyone have an similar experience? I also notice that some people seem to have battery drain, I wounder if this could be the reason, as I seem to suffer the same drain. It's pretty horrible.

Something horribly wrong with the OS optimization of this phone. I always get the biggest battery drain as 'Phone Idle'. Much higher than the screen time.
This is the situation when I have even disabled most of the battery hungry apps like Google, Maps, Facebook, etc. This is really unacceptable.

Hello. Recently, I installed BetterBatteryStats hoping I could find what drains my battery during standby and so on. So what I have found is that there is this wakelock called ts_wake_lock. Does anybody around here know what this is about and how it could be fixed? Thank you.

I honestly still have no idea what it is. It seems to drain my battery like crazy even after a factory reset. The interesting thing is that this seems to be less of a problem when I have movement detection disabled. But still, the wakelock is there and what the guy above mentioned simply is useless because it's a kernel wakelock.

I thought about a downgrade, but I fear to brick the phone :|
I had it on 108 and I have it on 120 as well.(L29C432) I don't think a downgrade will help you, though.
I haven't received the update notification yet... Hope the new firmware will solve the problem on my device.
Folks, I have exactly the same problem! And ideas how to fix it? It disappears in save mode, so it must come from an Huawei exclusive app? I also noticed ridiculous values for the motion detection.
It's the (t)ouch(s)creen wakelock (or one of them anyway, I think there are others as well). AFAIK it fires every time you touch the screen.
Check your display & developer settings... screen timeout, aod etc I see this wakelock on my p20 pro, but it doesn't seem to impact on my battery unduly.
Change one setting and see if it makes a difference, then try another etc.... Not sure, but it also could be an app keeping the screen alive.
Thanks, that's what I was guessing, too. It has something to do with the "lift to activate" feature, I guess. My device has billions (really) of ts_wake_lock and significant_motion triggers in the bug report. It does affect the battery quite a bit here. I'm not sure what could cause this, I have reset my phone a few times and I currently have no user apps except for BBS installed.

I have the exact same problem on my mate 10 pro. Its a new phone, i have factory reset it a couple of times.
My BBS stats look almost identical.
No, not really a solution. It went away after a while. I think I deactivated the play services, deleted its file and cache and then updated it to the newest version. This helped me with a better battery life. The ts_wake_locks are still there but only very few compared to the number I had before.
