Hello. I've recently installed CM 13 on my phone (great ROM btw thx devs). The Android OS drain of the stock ROM has gone away and the performance is much better. It also uses approximately 3%/min when being used with medium load. However, the idle battery drain is atrocious (I believe this also applies to the stock ROM). The phone uses about 5% every hour when connected to 3G (displaying 4~5 bars), Bluetooth and WiFI on. Because of this, the battery life suffers greatly.
So the questions that I have are:
1. What cause this battery drain? Google Play Services? With clean flash, no Gapps, nothing installed doesn't have this drain. So I'm suspecting it's to do with Google Play Services or the background processes being managed incorrectly.
2. Is there a way to fix it? Custom Kernels? Amplify? (I know that you're supposed to clean flash and provide logs to devs, but the thread is more about how to fix it so yeah)
Thank you in advance!!
Battery drain happens mostly from Google Apps and Facebook and Messenger. I uninstalled most of Gapps and Facebook and installed Greenify, PowernNap, Amplify and the battery drain is gone.

I've noticed recently that my battery seems to be draining quicker than usual, and I haven't been able to figure out why exactly. I know people here know a LOT more about this stuff than I do, so I figured I'd see if someone could help.
I use GSam Battery Monitor, and I took some screenshots of the top drainers to see if it would mean anything to someone who knew better. When the battery started dying quickly, I installed Greenify and added almost every application to it so they wouldn't drain constantly. These screenshots are after Greenify was installed.
I'm running CM 10.1.0-RC4, with no other modifications to my system. Thanks in advance for any help!
seems that kernel is on max speed most of the time
Happened to me on the one v but it usually goes back to normal after a while
Hi guys! i need help, i have a seriously battery drain problem with the process "Android System", it consumes more than the screen! i tried everything to fix it but nothing works, i'm using latest bubor's cm11 kitkat rom, somebody have an idea...? my battery lasts 5 hours max, will appreciate some help! thanks!
try bubor's last CM11, there is fix for battery drain.
New member, please elaborate!
I too am having this problem. Unfortunately, I am not a developer or an advanced user. I am good with doing what I know, but do not have any developing experience or education. I saw that Bubor's cm11 was recommended on this which is the exact problem I have, but I'm not sure what that even means. If you can help me, that would be great! Thanks!

I am having battery problems too ,its kernel related, phone wake up too frequent and consumes battery..a way to fix it is with this app http://repo.xposed.info/module/org.t2k269.perapphacking with xposed installer installed.
You need to limit wakelock on apps that might wake your device it will give you some battery life.
Try greenify in google playstore. you can then define which app you want
to suspend.
Synchronization intervals can also be a problem!
Edit;
sorry i read again and you talk about android-system as the main process. That alone isn't enough to find out the root cause. You need to install an app like better battery stats or opg pro to find out the reason behind.
There you can see the apps causing so called "wakelocks". Those wakelocks prevents your device from sleeping which then causes high battery drain. So after you identified the app or apps use greenify to suspend them if you can (that means suspending a chat tool like whatsapp will prevent to receive messages until you start whatsapp manually).
Of course the kernel is a major thing when it comes to battery drain (e.g. bugs in wifi module etc) so it may be necessary to use another kernel or ROM but first of all i would recommend to start the above way.

Hi, running latest firmware + 2.10.410.1 roms, tried Maximus and ARHD, both with prior wiping, dalvik/cache wipe, battery cycle etc. When i am actually using the phone it still gets quite warm plus i can literally watch my battery percentage drop 1% every two minutes just using whatsapp. Happens even when not installing anything except whatsapp, gmail etc. I tried battery monitor, but it simply shows those apps (whatsapp) etc, not really WHY they are draining so much power when in use. Standby time is perfectly fine....
Anyone else notice such issues? Anything i can do to test further?

hi mate
try this app (better Battery Stats)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Let it run for a few hours ( are you root? ) and check : other , kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks to see what is keeping up your phone
i had same issues with both custom roms, im keeping ViperOne since it is the more stable and giving me best performance with no changes at all on tweaks, just select viper sttings on the aroma installer setup.
Hi, I tried bbs, no special wake locks. However, my issue is that phone gets hot and drains battery while in use. Standby is perfectly fine. Even Whatsapp usage it gets hot and u can literally watch % drop.... Thought it was fixed on 2.10.410.1.. Oh I miss my m8. You think viper makes a difference over arhd? I even tried EX hexa core mod..
I faced a similar issue after flashing ElementalX kernel over eragon.
What I did was install os monitor & read the event log.
It turned out that dotview was messing about & keeping my cpu clocks high, so I went to clear data and force stop app which seemed to have fixed it since.
My battery drains kind of fast, I'm talking about less then 12 hours on daily basic use (calls, facebook, whatsapp ETC). with not a lot at all of SOT.
anyone has an idea why this is happening?
It is almost impossible to determine what is using your battery based on virtually zero information...
In almost all battery draining cases, it is down to an app or wakelock. You have to work out what it is, and troubleshoot. Repeat this process for all future phone / rom / kernel combinations
- Are you rooted with any other mods?
- On the basic battery info screen, are there any strange apps?
- Checked for wakelocks using an app like GSAM or betterbatterystats?
If you're not rooted, check the battery stats and see if your phone is staying awake constantly. Also see what apps have the biggest "keep awake"time
After upgrading to OOS 4.1.0 over OTA my Android System usage started to drain the battery. So i downloaded the full zip and did a complete clean flash of OOS 4.1.0. Even after that the Android System Usage is draining the battery. I'm attaching the screenshots. Any solutions to this ?
Clear Googleplay services cache and app data, then reboot.
Haven't tried it myself, though i have read it has helped many

Settings / apps / Google play services / manage data ( clear data )
Settings / backup and reset ( turn off backup )
Settings / battery , click the three dots at the top and check the power hungry apps and enable aggressive doze and whilst in aggressive doze settings turn on nearly all of the optimised apps just don't optimise things like phone , messenger , WhatsApp if you use them regularly ...
Hope this helps and if it does then please hit that thumbs up button it means the world to me....
are you rooted ?
This is probably not because of Google Play Services.
Can you share screenshot of "Android OS" battery usage as well? I bet it has keep awake time over 1.5hrs.
I also have a problem with my OP3 draining battery after android N
My battery is pretty much done in 12 hours with next to no screen on time...

I've tried the steps above but doesn't change the battery life at all

Snap. I have the same problem here too. Only thing I haven't tried was switching backup off, but I really don't want to live without it, it's just too useful now.
My battery drains even when the phones not in use. I had great battery time at the start (6 months ago) but now it hardly lasts for 20 hours with normal use. Wonder what they did with the OS or maybe its cheap manufacturing
**** OOS... I littery Switched to VertexOS for this reason and I don't see a difference other then Vertex being way more peformant and batfery friendly.
Yeah, happens me every week after a clean install despite all the play services data delete, cache, etc. Always ends up like this. Hopes it gets fixed, Nougat hasn't been going well on our OP3
Me too, heavy draining even when I don't use my phone ?
Did someone already seen this?
