On my Note 5 with 64 GB.
With power saving and battery optimizing off, when I'm listening to radios or to any off line working app, after 5-10 minutes the app automatically shuts downs. Completely, not only suspended. I've to launch it again. Boring.
If somebody knows the name of the Samsung application package wich clears automatically memory and/or apps it will be a pleasure for me to disable it quickly with the excellent "Package Disabler Pro"

Hi everybody,
I have seen quite a number of users get troubled and complain about high battery drain in JB roms. Most of them have used BetterBattery or other applications and found that RILJ seems to be the culprit. But I haven't seen anyone suggest a solution until now.
So I spent sometime tinkering with the settings and found that on CM10 roms (and may be others as well) turning off the Background Location Reporting removes the RILJ wakelock and stops the battery drain. The reason I guess is that since RILJ might be responsible for providing approximate location (using cell tower identification) it maintains a wakelock to do so.
I am using PA 2.10 so the following instructions are based on that. Other roms should have similar steps.
Here's how you turn Background Location Reporting off.
1. Go to System Settings
2. Under accounts, select Google/Maps and Latitude
3. Maps will fire up and it should show the Location Settings screen.
4. On the top tap Location Reporting and select Do not update your location.
That's it.
Now observe BetterBattery for a few hours and you should see a significant change in the listings and also battery drain. For me battery consumption went from ~1% per 3-5 mins on idle to ~1% per hour on idle.
One side effect of this change (I am guessing) could be that Google Now might not be able to show the location triggered cards. So take your pick on what is more important for you, battery life or value added services.
Cheers

Just come across this via CM forums - I'm on I9100, but I guess it's the same thing. Trying this for a few hours to see what happens. I've seen a dramatic increase in battery usage over the past few days, strangely just after the most recent Maps update...
Quick update - turning that off doesn't change anything for me. Looks like Google Now still knows where I am and therefore there's another setting checking my location. I'm going to try turning Google Now off for a bit too.
Update again: it's not Google Now for me either. Need to do some further looking to try and track down what the exact request is!
good job
Thanks to the RILJ, my battery drain is 10% per hour right now and I'm going to try this solution immediately. Thanks a lot!
Ahalford has already done an indepth research on this subject and summarized all the wakelocks with possible solutions for each, RIL is one of them...

nice job. just change the setting and wait for result.
Thanks! This has saved me from pulling out what little hair I have haha.
I really am close to killing myself due to sadness and disappointment because of my phone's battery life. lol. I have a Galaxy Note 2(4.1.1 ver) and my battery lasts for 12-16 hours. I use it mostly for Facebook, Google, Viber and YouTube. I have other typical social networking/comm apps (YM,Skype, Instagram,Twitter) but I dont use them often. I have less than 10 games (Temple Run2, Angry Birds, Diamond Dash) but I dont play for more than 15 mins. I have observed that when my phone is NOT in use, it decreases by 7-10% per hour during the day. At night, before I go to sleep, it is a fully charged phone and when I wake up, 25% of the battery's life is gone within 8hrs of not touching it even to check the time. I dont know if its the normal draining rate of the battery, if its a factory defect on the battery or the phone itself, or if it is the app or android system. My phone is just 4 days old, or maybe 5. Im hoping when the phone turns a week old, things will be better. Or should I try to kill myself now?
PS. I really want to try the solution given above coz upon reading it I realized that viber/fb etc is now showing my location. but i cant seem to find this on my phone. Can someone help me pleaseeeeee.
Alternative way to pick "Do not update your location"

Alternative method for turning on the setting "Your location is not updated":
1) Open the google maps app.
2) Press the physical "menu" button on your phone to get into settings for maps.
3) Click on settings in the menu that pops up.
4) Click on "Location Settings" in the menu that comes up.
5) Wait a second for "Location reporting" to update.
6) Click on "Location reporting".
7) Choose the "Do not update your location" option.
8) You're done.
This is how I did this on my Galaxy S3 and it seems to have fixed the RILJ wakelock issue I've been getting. It was waking up the cpu almost 300 times an hour. Hope it works for you.

any suggestion for a solution?
i have problem
when i make call and end the call
i found in task manger phone file open (green phone icon)
and its not closed
i found that it take alot of battery
so i have to make end task every time after i finsh incomming or outgoing calls
anyone have a solution??
its meant to be like that!
it is meant to be like that, the phone keeps the app in memory to decrease time it takes to open it the next time, mostly useful for those who make a lot of calls. apps might be closed imidiately depending on memory- and cpu usage, try using the "back" button instead of "home" and see if that works
It's not the "phone app" that kills battery, it's you making calls, and that is sorted to "phone" by the battery monitor. Just leave the dialer open, it doesn't matter.

You can do like I do... I place the Task Manager shortcut in the main screen and everytime a finish a call or some other task I just open it and click on Stop.
Its a matter of get use with that, takes 2 seconds and don't hurt no one... Or you can try to find some app to do that and loose the battery for that app.

The battery needs some charging cycles to get to its full capacity. Did yo uhae any difference with closing the dialer app? Because I don't think it will do any difference. It's the same with RAM, a typical failure is to think that it has to be empty, but it is handled different and therefore it doesn't matter for the phones speed if it is full or empty. That dialer app stays open, so what? And it is pretty normal that calling takes more battery than wi-fi. Mobile data also takes more battery than wi-fi. And when making calls you have a permanent active mobile connection. There is a reason that companys always print two battery times, one standby and one calling.
Don't panic, get used to it. I don't think your battery life will increase. Only possibility for that is to flash the latest software and disable some of LGs stuff, e.g. Smartworld app.
Use task killer and will stop any program that run as standby , also, I would like to advice LG 4X users to use Battery saver to save more BATTERY LIFE. I have installed one and test it. It really make my device super and extend the battery life.
Best regards,

This is the worst hint you can give. Everyone who has owned an Android device for quite a time will know that taskkillers are among the most unuseful programs you can get, because they'll randomly kill apps and make the system unstable. Once again: It doesn't matter how many apps are open! Your RAM will always be freed. This is not Windows! And for battery usage it is only important if apps running in background keep the phone from deep sleep, and that's the minority of programs. And for those which keep the phone awake, it's mostly intended, like mail apps that poll the mail server every half an hour. Get yourself some information about how Android works, it helps a lot.
If you want to know about wakelocks, use the "BetterBatteryStats" app. It can be found somewhere on xda for free (older version) or for a small fee on the Play Store.

I don't think killing the Phone app will make much of a difference, have you tried exploring other power saving methods? personally I find changing governer settings on screen off saves me quite a bit
Phone: HTC One
Carrier: AT&T
Never rooted/unlocked.
After update to sense 6.0,
1. Phone auto reboots every 6 hrs once (while on battery or on charger).
2. Battery drains in 4 to 5 hrs and phone becomes very hot.
3. SYNC is continuously ON most of the day, around 1.5gb of mobile data is consumed per day (Google Play Store, com.htc.sense.uid.socialplugins.shared:10018 & removed apps use max data).
4. When the SYNC is ON, device will be very slow ( about 30 seconds to 1 minute later the notification disappears after reading the mail/message/missed call).
5. Apps requiring update from play store, keeps getting re-installed several times when the SYNC is ON.
6. When the SYNC is ON, text messages will not get delivered, they just keep waiting for 2 to 3 minutes.
7. When the SYNC is ON, the Alarm doesn't work.
8. Some times power button will not respond or too slow to wakeup the screen, sometimes device reboots if I press the power button multiple times.
Factory reset for 3 times.
If I leave at default apps, device is OK. But once I reinstall all my apps from play store and setup (individual app manually, with out restoring from backup) the problems reappear.
Please HELP..

Galaxy s4, honor 6 and now mi5. All of my android phones have had terrible terrible standby battery life. Wifi, Google services, location services, that android media service.
It's like whack a mole. As soon as I freeze or uninstall one app another pops up. I have tried more than 20 different apps to stop the idle battery use. The one thing that worked for me was Leandroid that automatically turns off data connection after screen off. This doesn't work in miui though.
So TL;DR how do I stop idle battery drain. I just installed the latest unofficial rom. I know as soon as I install Facebook/messenger the drain will start. Recommend an app (rootl
Thank you
Out of the 20 apps, did you set up Greenify with Xposed? Through settings, you can enable agressive doze.
If I don't restart my phone after charging overnight, Google Play Services eats more battery than anything else on the phone.
If I reboot it seems to stop as is slowly slips down the list, but with out a reboot it remains the heaviest user and my battery drains significantly quicker.
Is there any reason for this? I have turned off background data for the app, don't have location services or anything like that switched on... It seems like some process starts while the phone is charging that fails to stop when unplugged.
Hello.
Google service include "push" gmail/ contact synchronisation and over things. So that depend on what you use on your phone.
Google Backup quite often starts while the phone is plugged in.
Other services can call GPS to start, sometimes apps request location info that causes location services to fire up. I seem to have an ongoing issue with Google contacts, constantly starting, even though I don't have my Google account sync enabled and the address book is based on a CSV. file import.
Unlock developer options (settings\system\about phone\ press build number 8 times) and look in running services, see if there are some other apps running that may start it.
GPS battery drain has haunted every model and make of phone I've ever had.
How else are Google going to transfer your every button click, movement, location and (if some people are to be believed) voice recording back to their HQ?
