Hello, i use Dalingrin's kernel (6/30) and CM7 nightlies (121 currently).
Sometimes deep sleep is nice for my battery, sometimes it doesn't save energy.
It's life but i need a few days between battery charging.
so i decided to add a few workarounds, here they are:
1. Airplane mode everytime + wifi on/off when i need it. Only ten seconds to activate/deactivate with CM7 status bar.
2. Battery widget monitor: it enables history of battery consuming. Very good to act that deep sleep is effective or not.
3. uninstall applications which sychronize when nook should be sleeping: K9, DSPmanager, hotapps, appbrainz.
3. Advanced task killer pro: Crazy mode when screen is off. Very nice for last applications.
Of course, you are welcome to comment those tricks and to add some
I guess it depends on use, but I'm on day 3 on a charge, running at 47%. I just have the screen at 15% most of the time, and I don't disable sync. I mostly do reader, email, internet, so that might be part of my success.

1 is probably not a good idea, since sometimes Airplane mode sticks.
2 has nothing to do with saving battery, but okay..
3a does nothing if there is no network connection (assuming sanely written programs)
3b is stupid and shouldn't ever be used.
You want to save battery? Turn off wifi when the screen goes off. You can do this automatically with Setting Profile Lite or Tasker, probably some others. I've found that the wifi sleep setting doesn't do anything for me, I can continue to ping the NC for 10+ minutes after the screen goes off so clearly the wifi is still up.
And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving apps. I find that Maps with Latitude enabled misbehaves without a network connection and constantly is trying to update or something, so I cleared data on Maps to get out of Latitude on that device. CPUSpy will also show you how much deep sleep is ongoing.
The NC is going to use at least 10%/hr at low backlight doing simple tasks, I've seen it use up to 25% overclocked playing games.
While asleep it uses about 1% every 3-4 hours. Could probably do even better if you don't have a boatload of apps and widgets like I do.
Grab "Where's my Droid's Power" or whatever the application is called, and see where all the power is going.

He said the battery widget is to see if it is asleep, and see what the consumption is like.
Hello,
You are right about battery logging.
i have to test the two applications you mention both:
1. "And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving app"
2. "Where's my droid power".
Anyone have any issues with Smart Actions and Wifi? I am running ICS .232. Recently i've been noticing my battery draining and my system is telling me that my Wifi has been on for 7 hours. I check the Wifi settings and it's set to off. I turned it on and off to be safe. The only thing I can think of was Smart actions not shutting it off as it states it was. I just removed the rule to turn wifi off and on depending on my location. It's suppose to turn off wifi while at work to conserve battery but it seems to be draining my battery instead. I just checked it now and the solid bar is short at the end indicating it is no longer on. Wondering if anyone has the same issue? BTW I've been at work for the past 8 hours so Wifi should have been off. Location is flaky in my area even with GPS as there is a dead spot close by. I work out in the country..
So since the latest Google Play Services update, I have been suffering some serious battery drain issues. There are various mentions all around the internet and most point to the issue being 4.2.1, which, we aren't running.
I spent some time over the last few days trying to figure out what the issue is and have some observations. But, for some background, last few days I have been getting no more than 10 hours battery with no more than an hour or two screen time.
Google Play Services is listed as the biggest battery drainer with 49%, so I started looking into that.
First off, I noticed in battery stats that if Wifi is on, the device doesn't deep sleep, even though wifi is set to never on when sleeping, the wifi never turns off and the phone never deep sleeps.
First thing to try was turning off wifi, so, I turned off wifi, straight away, phone deep sleeps again.
Next I began messing with Google related things, first of all I "uninstall updates" on GPlayS, tested with Wifi on, great, no more battery drain, phone sleeps, BUT, phone keeps bugging me with notifications to update.
Next was to update, battery drain returns. So, disable Google Now in its own settings, battery drain remains when on Wifi, however, if I kill "Google Search" after disabling Google Now, the battery drain stops.
Various mention on the internet has attributed it to location history and location services in the "Google Settings" however I have had those disabled for a few days now and they seem not to be the issue in this case.
My conclusion so far is that the link between the latest GPlayS and Google Now is the real killer.
At present, I have Google Now disabled, and no battery drain, Wifi turns itself off as it should and the phone sleeps. This isn't a great solution since I use Google Now regularly.
I'm hoping that unless someone has come up with a realistic solution that doesn't involve disabling services, Google will release an update to fix the issue.
Currently without access to another device other than my N10, I'm unable to test whether this particular version of the issue is specific to the XZ or the GoogleNow/GPlayS versions.
My next test is to install Network Info from F-Droid and Better Battery stats, and see if I can attribute the thing preventing wifi from turning off during sleep, and hence the failure for the device to deep sleep, to a particular activity going on.
Further, I have already tested the GPlayS related services by disabling everything such as Calendar and Contact Sync, disabled all of books, movies, photo sync, disabled Google Plus, none of these had any effect on the issue, which all but rule them out of the equation.
Has anyone else got observations on this, is anyone else suffering the issue, or has anyone got a real solution?
I'm off on Holiday on Saturday and would really like to have access to Google Now back, but not have the battery drain that's going to kill my battery while roaming the streets of Rome without access to a charger.

I shut it off it was draining my battery!
I had the same problem.
And here's a solution for you: Factory data reset
After that there will be no problems with battery drain.

I did a factory reset and have the problem.
So the amount of battery drain has lowered significantly, but it is still there. I attached a screenshot from before the change and a screenshot from after.
use link 2 sd ( root required ) search at playstore
open it and seacrh google play service
option and sleep it..and u done

I'm suffering from excessive battery drains on Note 8, Nougat 7.1.1. The battery drain is excessive when on idle mode/when the phone is asleep. I have installed BetterBatteryStats (gave it all permissions) and tested with different settings for a couple days.
My findings:
I strongly believe the issue is with my wifi.
Day 1: I kept wifi on, turned off "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to always. Battery drain was very excessive at home. In BBS, wlan_rx_wake and powermanagerservice.wakelocks were very high and phone didn't doze much. When I left home and went to the library and was connected to my school's wifi, the phone dozed, and the two wakelocks mentioned didn't occur any more. In fact, from the screenshot you can see the two flat regions are those when I was at the library, and the downhill regions are when I was home.
Day 2: I kept wifi on, turned on "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to never. No change. The results were just like day 1. Excessive wakelocks and battery drain. In fact, funny enough, the wakelocks occurred more often as if "wifi power saving mode" was doing the opposite of what it was supposed to.
Day 3: I turned off wifi completely, and was on cellular the whole time. Battery performance was amazing. Lost 5% over 10 hours, and I actually used the phone during this time. I made calls, surfed the web and texted. Additionally, the are no excessive wakelocks, and the battery plot is nearly flat the whole time.
In conclusion, I am really confused. At home, wifi kills my battery. At school, wifi doesn't do anything weird. It makes me feel like this is more than just some setting on the phone or some bug with Nougat. Maybe some networking issues with my wifi at home? I was hoping I could better understand my situation by getting help here. Any feedback is welcome. I have screenshots from each day so tell me if you think they'll be helpful. Thanks.
Make a factory reset... try that, it makes my stars better.
Could very well be caused by Wifi calling. Try switch off Wi-Fi Calling at home.
I remember having this issue in past with my Note 5 icw bad Cell reception at certain locations.
But wifi calling is always on, regardless of what wifi I'm connected to. It must be something specific to my wifi at home.
Hello,
Since the purchase of my phone XZ1 Compact (G8441), I've been experiencing barely acceptable battery life. This is especially frustrating since I bought this phone having heard that it can last easily 2-3 days, but this is not the case for me (discharging about 4%h on average or 2.5%h with screen off on either wifi or mobile data, with various configurations outside/home/office, i.e. in practice never usable more than a day).
According to *#*#SERVICE#*#*, the battery life is still good (2704 mAh). The issue I am experiencing is most likely due to an unknown software and/or hardware failure leading to lots of wakelocks that prevent the phone from "sleeping"/"dozing" correctly.
I know that MANY users worldwide are experiencing this and Sony never gave an answer to this, according to e.g. the following threads:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-update-47-1-A-12-235/m-p/1337029
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-47-1-A-12-205-update/m-p/1328053
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/help/battery-life-bit-odd-t3688342/page8
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ1-Compact/High-battery-drain/m-p/1326474 https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-update-47-1-A-12-270/m-p/1340671 https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...pie-battery-drain-CPU-idling-high/m-p/1354891
and many others
In my case the items "NlpWakeLock" and "RILJ_ACK_WL" activate both up to thousands of times every hour. No relevant information could be found about this in the web lookups I've done, and I am not sure this is related to the issue I'm facing. I joined a log of today's better battery stats with a pathetic 1h20 of SOT and 65% discharge, a huge count of wakelocks except when I was listening to music, and an apparent faster discharge with the idle phone than when actually used.
The phone is running the latest downloadable Sony firmware 47.2.A.10.107.
Of course, factory reset was tried with no amelioration and I tried to contact directly Sony which have basically no willingness to help or investigate.
Anyone would have a clue about this?
Thanks,
Alexandre
Do you use Google Now (google assistant) - NlpWakeLock
If not, disable it and see what happens.
This little phone I have for battery life and for banking/authenticator/etc. Not for work. So I have disabled most things I do not need (adb uninstall) - so the battery is quite good on standby.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, as I don't use GoogleNow, the whole Google App is already disabled...
I'll try and do some adb uninstall and will keep you posted

Looking at the bbs stats. The first thing I noticed is that your wifi is on all the time. Try turning it to only when awake and disable the wifi scanning in locatin settings.
RIL wakelocks are on because you have poor signal, it's the number of handhakes your phone does with the local cell tower and if you have bad signal, it gets higher.
Some providers offer home 4g boosters for your home or 'calls over wifi', either of these would reduce your battery usage.
My phone has been flawless (2-3 days on battery when I don't play games) but suddenly it started behaving like described in the original post.
It has 1 day life now and I haven't found the reason for this change. I have removed all recently installed apps, removed all unnecessary apps (including Facebook app), disabled running in background for some (like Messenger), there was no firmware update at that time. Still something is eating up the battery. SmartPanel tool shows that 58% of battery is Unaccounted (next is display and Google Services). I have not done the factory reset yet because I need fully configured phone right now.
