[Q] [Problem] [TX] "Android System" Processes & Packages Eat Up Battery?
Hey dears, I just noticed a very annoying fact on Power Management in Settings
on 18h of On Battery usage, now the battery meter shows that Screen On just has used the battery of 25%, and the more surprising fact is that "Android System", which includes some packages like "Extension For Throw" and "WFD", eats up 45%!!!!!!
can you check yours?!!!
is that normal?!!!
I'm totally stock, .67 Hong Kong, Unlocked, stock kernel, just removed bloatwares....
Tnx a million

i've removed the corresponding app, i'ts not even installed, let alone consuming battery, the only mirroring app is Throw itself, which is always off, i don't use it much of an often
it's weird, never saw this with a bunch of phones i had, especially Xperias

It's easy to know what eat battery, it Sony system itself
If U don't want system eat a lot decompile framework and remove app like Throw or any app that you doesn't use it
XD
Also removing bloatware help though if you don't wanna play with framework

Same on my XTX. I have check my friend's XS and the Android System is not on the top of the list but the Screen. So I believe that there must be something wrong with my settings. Hope I can solve it here.

I got this problem too, my TX got a full day with normal use, check power management and Android System load about 45%, higher than screen usage, but a few days ago when I just bought this phone I got about almost 2 days of full use, and Android System just at 20%.

I've removed the bloatwares, EVERYTHING you can think of, just the Throw is still there, which i don't use it at all, and WFD, it's weird
So, here comes a question, if i remove a bloatware, but i haven't edit Framework, will that app still consume battery?!!
obviously the answer is "No", because the app has been removed, but what you said made me think this way....
and one other thing, any suggestion or solution for it?

No more solution for now =(
Reboot can fix, but sometimes media server can eat a lot of battery
Also our display if 1st eat a lot of battery
You can use peetr rom, like promising for Xperia T, but you need patch to using it on TX
I'm too lazy to testing it, I will trying figuring what eat battery on TX
The 1st culprit is Android System, Media server and display
But I'm going to ignore display, since we use almost display everyday
XD
So, the conclusion is Android System and Media server for my case

[Q] Battery drain, who's the guilty?

Hi guys,
I've a XT1068, does anyone have the same problems with the battery?
I was not using my phone where the battery started to drop like that. I charge it, then unplug it and then went to bed.
Yes, I've wifi, bluetooth and 2 SIMs with one of them with data always on.
See pics attached.

Same for me. When I bought the phone I immediatelly upgraded to 5.0.2. After upgrading, I did a factory reset through Recovery. Android OS and Android System eat up most of the battery, whereas in normal cases it should be screen and standby (and perhaps some fewquently used app).

Looking at that first screenshot of the battery chart it looks like you have an alarm or wakelock keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping. Take a look at my Moto G 2014 battery guide

Well that guide is great as a general recommendation. However, what we have here looks like a bug. Android OS and Android System should NEVER take more battery than standby and screen.

You are right. And I see that in my xt1032 that still runs on KitKat these wakelocks do not exist. Could this have to do with data wiping? I factory reset the phone from recovery AFTER the 5.0.2 OTA update. AFAIK it fully wipes data and cache.

It does. Install BetterBatteryStats from here and run it for a while. It'll give you details on every wakelock and alarm on the device and how much battery it is using. Then you can use amplify in the tutorial I linked to earlier to configure the wakelocks so they are not consuming as much battery.

Thanks a lot Duck86, but I think that for a brand new phone I should not need to do all these things to get decent battery life. As I said my old xt1032 on kitkat was is to handle two days of significant usage and most of all, if you did not use it the battery did not drain. By the end of the day, battery usage was topped by standby, screen and perhaps an app with frequent use. On top of that, 5.0.2 looks generally unstable compared to the utterly robust 4.4.4 that runs on my xt1032. I get noise and lag in call sounds for example, issues that were not even imaginable on xt1032/kitkat.
So I think I will try to fall back on kitkat. The problem is that I do not know which stock ROM I should install.
My Baseband version is:
MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST
My kernel version is:
3.4.42-g48d3b85
My system version is
22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
Build number
LXB22.46-28
Any clues?

It's probably gsam battery monitor that is doing all the wakelocks to gather data.

Nothing special, depends on what you were doing. To have a clearer view: Load your battery until it's full and let the phone rest for one or two hours. Make some screens than. You can see what kind of wakelocks disturb the sleep mode of the device.

"Who is the guilty?" Motorola?..
Guys you know about the bug with the gps? When you turn on and off the GPS on the stock rom and the GPS remain on and kills your battery until you restart the phone? Took me about 2 weeks to figure out.

Battery draining after oreo updat

Hello everyone,
I received Oreo update 3 days ago and I have noticed that my battery is draining since that update. For instance, when I use facebook it drains by 1% every 2 minutes and it was not like that before update. What should I do?
I really need to go back to nogut.
Any help?

I had the same when I first installed Oreo.
Then I went to Settings, Device maintenance , Battery, Battery usage and found that android system drained my battery. I un-ticked "Allow background activity" and fixed draining.
You may also give it some time to calibrate battery measurement.
After 6 days with Oreo, I can say it's a little bit better than Nougat regarding battery.

Do you use the built-in app power monitor in settings/battery?

Use Betterbatterystats to see what's going on. Additionally, try a day or two with wifi turned off. I had huge battery drains on nougat when wifi was on and with it off I got 5 days on a single charge!! Maybe the same bug carries over to Oreo? Not sure, but worth a try if you can afford the data usage.

I'm having the same issue, and it's not like Device Maintenance and BetterBatteryStats are showing anything suspicious at all. One night idle time is nice, then on other nights i find it having a decrease of 15%.

Your Android System drain is way too high...something wrong there for sure...

If you haven't already, do a full wipe/ factory reset. This fixes most problems, including battery drain, after a major update.

Have you tried better battery stats? Do you use the app power monitor in the Note 8 settings at all? It's got to be some of your apps or saved settings...

Wow!! Android system is killing it. Dude, I had the same issue on nougat. Not sure if it'll work on Oreo, but try it: turn off wifi completely. Use cellular if you can for a day or two. Do this after a full recharge so battery stats have resetted so you can see if that makes a difference.
Also, use Betterbatterystats and give it permissions on adb. Post screenshots from that. The one you posted already isn't telling at all.

I downgraded it to Nogut and I think I am fine now. F**k this update. I think this company is intending this sh*t to push up its sales.

Fix for battery drain for Note 8 after upgrading Oreo
1) Go to settings
2) Go to Apps
3) Click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
4) Select "Reset App Preferences"
5) Power your phone off and on again and the battery draining problem should be fixed.

Have you tried it on your own ?

Yes. I am on my phone right now and have been on YouTube this evening with normal battery drain. After the update yesterday my battery was draining for no reason and I had to charge my phone three times. I remembered this fix from the last update when I didn't want to reset my device. I figured it had something to do with all of the Apps utilizing my location, so I wanted to do a reset of the Apps without resetting my device and it worked.

Holy crap, that's ridiculous, I'd be concerned too.. But I was already there a cpl months ago, now it ROCKS! And here's why:
-That Fbook app is a big player in battery drains because it doesn't allow the device to to hit Deep Sleep mode.. Deep Sleep mode totally shuts down all processes unless ya get a msg, email, call, ect.. Now, certain apps have what's called "WakeLocks" built-in that prevent the Deep Sleep and Fbook is bad about that.
- If you have Root and install a Wakelock Detector app, it'll tell ya the offending app causing the drains (Fbook should be @ like 0%, BTW).. The best option for Fbook is to just disable it in Settings-Apps, then just use a Browser, since Messenger is already installed.
- Another offender I found on this device is the Voicemail app, but ONLY if you never opened and set it up to begin with.. The last one.
- Another thing I remember were the touch sounds, disable that (in Settings-Sounds-Advanced) cuz it'll cause the same wakelock battery drain.
- Background Data: Some of these also cause wakelocks as they allow the app to stay awake as it's always pulling data for immediate response capability to messages.. Go into Settings-Data and disable background data to apps you either don't use or doesn't require internet for message capability.. (For example, leave Messenger's BG data alone).
- Lastly, uninstall and/or just disable any apps you don't use or want to mess with, they'll drain battery as well, connecting to Play Store and prompting updates..
IF NONE OF THESE OPTIONS APPEAL TO YOU: Unlock ur bootloader, install TWRP, flash a custom ROM (we've made many for this device, myself included but My stuff is in Android Forums tho) they won't have ridiculous bloat ware, the only apps you have are the ones you personally install..

hey my device moto e4 plus battery is draining very fast draining coz of android os and Android system pls help me to solve it

Insanely decreased battery life

Is there any battery life issue that anyone may have encountered ever since the previous two updates.. my 6000mah battery that used to stay for 2 days minimum has gone to a single day. It's all been after the update and i saw plenty of forums in Asus itself of the same thing.
Reference :- https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/54786/battery-drain-issue-on-rog-3
Anyone got any leads for this?

You're just overthinking. Stop staring at the battery percentage 24/7 and enjoy the damn phone.

You damn right! But how, bro. When u were accustomed to charging ur phone once in two days and you have to subtract 24 hours from that.. it surw changes the usage from a gaming plus daily driver to either one of the lot .. change for the bad questions a lot of stuff

What is your battery usage? Have you tried a factory reset?

What is showing as consuming most power? An optimized debloated ROG 3 with a healthy can go a week on stand-by with data enabled and even longer (no kidding) and easily 2-2.5 days with normal use.
You have to pinpoint what is doing it. It's wearing down your battery as well...

I tried, actually. The thing is i fear the Android system itself. Coz in one of the threads on the Asus website forums, there were people discussing Play Store or Play activities that keep auto restarting and also twin apps.
So for starters i did try to force close play services (can't disable coz of the emails), then battery turned out great. But afterwards it started reducing again. Same with twin apps.
I ain't kidding too. It's supposed to a 2-2.5day phone easily with the 6000mah battery, but for me it's a single day max to max a 12+ (3-4) hour phone

You can also try to use the Naptime app, it forces the phone into Doze when screen is off. Adb access or root is needed
GSAM can also be used to find the culprit

If disabling Goog Play Services stops the issue, it's likely linked to one or more running apps or processes. It's likely not Play Services itself but because one or more other components are making calls to it. Try to review all the running apps & services on your device and selectively disable them and gauge the difference. Apps that do a lot of syncing, using location services, excessive notifications (cloud messaging), Firebase indexing, etc etc.... If you have a good app manager tool, that will make the hunt easier.
