so i'm trying to figure out why my battery is draining so rapidly. I'm charging once and rarely twice during the day at this point. I'm running the latest and greatest from leedroid if that matters. attached a screenshoot for reference.
Anything else you need to help me with this just ask and I will answer. Thanks!
There doesn't look anything too bad from that screenshot. Have you got gsam battery monitor ? Try that and see what ' app use ' shows. I had a problem for a day or two on the same rom ( nothing rom related ) and no amount of reboots solved it. For some reason the kernel was keeping the phone awake 100% . Sometimes it's an app or a download or some media on the device, if it's a recent problem check everything that's been down or uploaded and any new media or app on the device. A wipe would likely fix it but try and narrow it down first. I think my issue was a play music download but can't be sure as I cleared cache, dalvic cache and data for several apps.
It's now back to usual ( 5 hrs SOT )

android system and kernel combined have 40%, they are the top 2 consumers and have the most wake locks.

That's slightly high but not drastic. There's a ton of factors for battery drain, what's the 'held awake' time versus the sleep and how much SOT do you get ?.
Another way to narrow things down is to leave it with data off for several hours to see if the drain stops.
There's dozens of options on Leedroid which could change battery life , including the kernel options in aroma . Ambient display can drain battery as can some of the ways to turn on the device.
You could try to wipe all the caches, clear data for Google apps and maybe dirty flash the ROM and see if things improve.
Maybe also try the battery calibration as detailed in other threads. There's a possibility the battery may be degrading of course, check the thread for that and see what your capacity is now.
Do you have the Facebook app installed. For some reason, I seem to notice battery drain more with some Facebook updates. I don't know what it is but my phone will easily last a day, Facebook update arrives and phone needs charging twice a day. Another Facebook update arrives and its ok again.
I think something is really wrong with the 10 lately. My battery goes down like crazy as well, I first thought it was my device and performed a factory reset, but still the same issue. Now I see that there are a lot of people mentioning the same thing the last few days.. Can't be a coincidence that my battery went bad along with others' at the same time..

i have ambient display off, i also selected one of the battery saving kernels. i had about 10 thousand wakelocks coming from powermanangerservice.wakelock this morning. the sucky part is i got frustrated and just uninstalled better battery stats after seeing that. i know that wakelock means there are tons of partial wakelocks.... it's just becoming a pain. hate my phone right now.
()after i left work) i just installed better battery stats again and i'm gonna let it sit.

Mine was bad again yesterday but back to good today. Only change was a Google play update ( pushed by google, I assume play services as it updates itself not through the store ). Maybe see if there is a more recent play services that helps you.
I thought power management services was the turning on of the screen/device but may be wrong , do you have wake gestures enabled ?

no wake gestures, honestly i disable all the bells and whistles b/c battery on most phones. and here's what i got after a days use, SOT 2:50. The important thing to note my phone rarely get's used. text throughtout the day and video on the train ride home. music. i think that's pretty basic. what're you guys thoughts?

I'm having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (rooted, but no custom ROM) through AT&T where it's losing battery power at a much higher rate than normal every once in a while.
Specifically, today, I was using the GPS feature and charging it in my car, and yet, even though it said it was charging, the battery continued to lose charge. Also, in the past, the phone has lost charge very quickly, and when I check the battery usage, "Android System" is very high on the list, up to 60% (with "Screen" being at 11%, which is usually the biggest culprit for me since I leave the screen on a lot). One time, I went to bed at around midnight and had forgotten to plug in my phone. When I woke up it was off. I turned it back on and looked at the battery stats using 3c's Battery Monitor Widget and saw that it lost charge quite slowly until about 5am, when suddenly the usage went up dramatically, and the phone went from about 60% to 0% in the course of an hour and a half of non-use.
Because this is not a problem I can reproduce on command, I'm not sure exactly what application/process is causing it. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone else experienced things like this happening before? (Besides me having to pay for the "betterbatterystats" app?)
Edit: Also, "Android System" sometimes is sometimes listed as "gsiff_daemon" in the battery stats, and within 3c's Battery Monitor Widget, Android System is separate from "gsiff_daemon", where gsiff_daemon's usage is almost 15 times the usage of Android System.
Checkout this thread to see if the gsiff_daemon is your problem. tl;dr when the system is hot and tearing through the battery, go to system settings -> Developer options -> and check Show CPU usage. If gsiff_daemon is the top or second highest on the list, then that is your problem. To solve it for the moment, use system tuner, or something else, to kill gsiff_daemon. There is no permanent cure at the moment, other than to delete gsiff_daemon. Both of those fixes require root, the non-root fix is to reboot.
If gsiff_daemon is not on the list, then something else is the problem, but Show CPU Usage should give you an idea of what system process is running hard.
Samsung Push problem
J M L,
Thanks for the information. I'll do that if the problem arises again. However I also did something else that looks like it may have been the solution for my particular problem, which was disabling the "Samsung Push" service in the Application Manager. So far, my battery life has gone back down to very reasonable levels.

Interesting, I installed "micro cpu monitor" shows thin line at top of screen showing both cores.
I haven't had this happen for some time now but after playing with google play and maps downloading offline maps etc I noticed my 2nd core pegged out.
Having seen this in the past & ignoring it I now realize that majorly drains the battery as well as it getting warm.
A simple reboot seems to be the only thing that fixes it. Clearing ram and closing recent screens dies nothing to clear the "cpu jam".
If left alone, it always shows the culprit as "android system"
As to what part of "android system" I don't know.
But until we figure this out for good, that little micro cpu monitor. App is sweet for peace of mind to know all is well or whether a reboot is needed. For what it's worth, I also noticed that after the event, that my auto rotate to landscape was mysteriously unchecked?
If it jams again, I'll have to see if it gets unchecked again, unknown if there is a relation.

I read the thread about gsiff_daemon culprit. I had it listed as a possible battery drain culprit. The thread says the issue may happen after a hot reboot...which I did have. Killing gsiff_daemon was not immediately effective. I renamed the file so it wouldn't get used...like the thread recommended. I had to reboot to get normal battery drain back and have yet to see the issue again. But i wont know for some time...or maybe when/if i get a hot reboot...which is really rare. Do yourself a favor, and buy better battery stats. Its a must have tool...and it's not expensive.
I wonder if this problem has been solved with latest lj7 jellybean from sprint

so with some trial and error i found some resolutions ..
first, i used Watchdog and it told me that the media services is killing battery too.
so doing a full wipe does not always fix this.. but what does, is reboot and wait about 1 hour charging and it will calm down. this was just something i noticed. so what i did is wipe out my SD cards, both of them, cleared them out 100% formatted the External SD, and used recovery to format the internal. From there it seem to work, i put my stuff back, and it seems ok.
problem is, when you install a lot of rom's and have bad reboots some files get messed up and you have to do it all over again..
problem was with AOPK, CM and TW roms.

My experience with froyo/gb/ics is that things have been getting progressively better over the years. But with each so called UPGRADE of an OS or even APPS, we often have to deal with bugs or incompatibilities. I am eager to upgrade to a stock based JB soon, but wisdom says, for 20 things improved, there will be 5 things broken....or hurting in some way. Early adopters suffer the most as usually these issues get ironed out...most of them.
BUT...these stuck drains...wake locks etc., it seems they will happen when they do no matter how many issues get fixed. Over the years, I've had random standby drains caused by Maps/Nav. Maybe it's ok for months, then after a particular update, it's back...and unpredictable. The YES...a reboot, just like with a PC, is a quick short term workaround.
Finally, with the App CURRENT WIDGET, there is a provision to watch for high drain in standby. It watches MilliAmp (ma) readings over time..to determine if you have a rogue drain. That's different than monitoring the CPU. (Some drains do not cause much CPU activity) BUT UNFORTUNATELY, that app won't work with our S3's because of a lack of hardware support. Works great with HTC and many others. It's a bummer because I used to use it and have my HD2 reboot if a 15min consecutive high drain was recorded in standby....thereby saving the battery and usually killing the bug.
Crapppp
Jellybean didn’t solve it. Gsiff_daemon just popped up for me. Just renamed it AGAIN.
Hopefully it won't pop up again

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...

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?

Ever since I updated to 8.1.0 with December security patch, I've noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT with around 45-50% battery left. This was after being off the charger for 12-16 hours. Now I'm getting about half the SOT at similar numbers. Anyone have any ideas?

Excuse my stating the obvious, but you need to find what process or app is using the battery. You should be able to get a rough idea just using the new features under Settings>>Battery. It will identify which apps are using the most juice. Run the phone in Safe Mode to see if your battery life goes back to normal. It could also be a service like Google Play Service which sometimes wigs out and starts chewing battery. Are you rooted? If you need more detailed information there are battery drain apps available to help isolate the problem (BBS and GSam). These apps require root to give the best results.

Not rooted and currently locked. I've downloaded GSAM and have adb permissions and it simply says things like Chrome, RCS Phone and Play services. If you see from the photos below you can see what I'm talking about. Chrome currently isn't that bad, but yesterday and the past couple days it's been like 9% or more of the battery.

Two things: I've never seen phone or kernel use that much battery. On one page phone usage is 33 seconds, yet it used 9% ? I think RCS is running the background all the time. See if you can toggle it to not run in the background under Settings>>Apps>. High kernel I'm guessing is a kernel wakelock or multiple. You've probably loaded app(s) that are creating the problem, but you need to find out which one is causing the wakelocks. There is a wakelock detector "lite" app that doesn't need root but I don't know how well it works. I know the root version works well. Lastly, on the first screenshot with the battery, scroll to the bottom of the page and see which apps are listed there. I'd be willing to bet if you ran the phone in Safe Mode, your battery drain would disappear, meaning your user apps are causing it.

Well in safe mode my drain is gone so I'm not sure which app is doing it, but to directly answer your question about the RCS it is an overall app meaning it is related to several Google play services. I'll upload a photo of it. I have to reboot into normal mode.
Edit: I'm wrong about that it was the play services.. I'll have to start uninstalling the apps to determine which one is draining the battery I guess.

RCS can be a real battery hog, but I don't know why. I don't have RCS on AT&T. Do you use Messages as your primary SMS? Open Settings>>Advanced and see if you can toggle off "Enhanced Features". Open properties and check if it is using battery optimization. If it is not, set Messages to battery optimization. You can always turn these back on later if the battery drain remains.
My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly). Something just felt off, but now everything feels great! I am fairly certain what changed is installing the Greenify Magisk module and/or the Google play services doze module (this enables battery optimization on the Google play services app). Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

In my experience that's really good.
Before 8.1 I noticed about 11% per hour during screen on use and about 0.33% per hour while on stand by in my pocket or a little bit better if it's just sitting on my night stand not moving while I'm sleeping (I think doze is more extreme in that situation) which seems to match what you are getting. Based on that screen shot I think that's like 8 hours screen on time over like 35 hours for a full charge. I've done a little bit better but not much. That's excellent battery life.
Since 8.1 it has dropped. Best now is maybe 7 to MAYBE 7.5 hours over maybe 26-28 hours. In my experience battery life always drops after an update but this case is far from the worst. I remember when my Nexus 5 updated from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery drop was awful and to make matters worse the battery life of the Nexus 5 was pretty bad to begin with.

So in my last reply I thought I was wrong about RCS Phone app being a conglomerate of several apps in the phone. For some reason I couldn't find the information I needed at that time. I wiped my phone and started over after posting this thread. I was trying to isolate the misbehaving app. I thought it might have been greenify actually, but no the drain has returned to a lesser extent though. Here's some photos of this RCS app from GSAM.

I'm not sure what is causing the drain at this point. I've installed Better Battery Stats to locate the wakelocks so I can ignore them through ADB.

Have you tried disabling RCS ? (Post #6). BBS is good for idle drain, active drain not so much. It's best run overnight without touching the phone for 8 hours or so. Pick the phone up in the morning and create/save a log file as quickly as possible. Post the log to the BBS thread if you need help deciphering.

Okay so, I flashed the latest Resurrection Remix yesterday, great performance ; however, there's a weird battery drain occurring to me. I've already tried multiple guides using greenify, amplify, etc but none really worked. I was using Viperrom 5.10 and wanted to revert back to complete stock after noticing random restarts and this battery drain. I installed stock through twrp with the backup I had before flashing and rooting then installed the stock recovery but still there was a battery drain. I flashed Leedroid, PureFusion 7.1.2 and still same problem. I think this is caused by something in Nougat since all the ROMs I flashed were nougat and showed the same issue. Now, I've seen many people experience the same problem but no one found a proper solution. Any insight as to whatever causes this battery drain would be appreciated. I'm not a heavy user at all; I don't have any games and all my apps are basically just social media like Telegram, Whatsapp, Youtube, Instagram and get barely 2.5hrs of SoT. Something to note too, my phone reports illogical battery percentages and sometimes shuts down when less than 50~40% due to an empty battery. For example, I restarted my phone a few minutes ago and upon booting it was 98% from full charge then I rebooted again and it's 78%.I'm not sure if this is a faulty battery or something wrong with the calibration. I tried calibrating multiple times but still nothing. I never abused my battery and most times I charged my phone before it hit 10-20%. Also one more question, I've noticed that on PureFusion the charging amperage was around 2-2.8 amps but on RR it reports 1.7 amps so is quick charge enabled on this ROM and if not what are the kernels I can flash to get QC? I've tried flashing Elemental X but it gets me stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I admit I'm kind of a noob when it comes to reporting bugs or issues, and I'm sorry for the length.
I'll add better screenshots of my stats after I collect more data.
I, and a lot of others, have suffered from the same symptoms. I thought I was alone but there is a big thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/random-shut-boot-loops-t3690547. I have got a support ticket (which is probably soon to expire, whoops!) but I've currently got it stuck in a bootloop at HTC (white) screen. Is this what yours did? Can you help me out?

No, my phone simply stays on the black screen with HTC logo in the center and the red text under it. Idk why it does that after flashing the kernel, probably not compatible idk,but what works with me is flashing the ROM again without messing with anything else.
Fixed mine, thanks. Just reflashed a stock rom I found on here. Wish I could help you more, but I think you might have to just return it unfortunately mate

I bought mine from another country and no international warranty so :/
I'd appreciate it if anyone replied to this thread. My phone is really unusable and disabling everything makes it useless and doesn't even save that much battery. My last resort would be to replace the battery but we all know how that would turn out and how it happens .
I tried :
1.Factory resets.
2.Flashed Viperrom,Leedroid,Purefusion 7.1.2,Resurrection Remix.
3.Flashed kernels like Cleanslate,Helix
4.Used battery saving apps like Greenify, Amplify, ForceDoze.
5.Disabled location, wifi, sync, cleared cache , reset app prefences, etc...
6.Started phone in safe mode.
Took all these steps and literally no significant improvement. I can't pinpoint an exact reason as to why I'm getting this drain but I noticed a lot of usage in GSam made by Android OS and in BBS and Wakelock detector PowerManagerService.Wakelocks seems to be on top of usage, and *launch* and *alarm* also have a very high number of wakelocks +1000 or even +10000. I've read on another thread that it might be wifi issue staying awake all the time. If someone has a good app to recommend me to monitor exactly and record whats draining I'll be eternally grateful .
Just a quick update.
I collected some stats. Not much but i saw some errors in there maybe some make some sense of them?
Mainly errors that are about Batterystats service: No controller energy info supplied and Power HAL : Failed to acquire lock whenever i touch the screen
I'll collect more logs and screenshots overnight in a +6hr period.

Hmm. That's weird because I had multiple ROMs installed and tested without any 3rd party apps like facebook and still get awful battery life. I'm back to stock now and will try deleting the fb app. Your stats are pretty good compared to mine.
Thanks.

I found no solution except a battery replacement i can say it was definitely the battery. However, the drain is somewhat higher than it should be on Oreo.

Glad I sold my HTC 10 and bought XA2. Way, way better
anyone else pixle 3 XL has a huge battery drainage? I go from 100 percent to 82 percent in one hour on standby time.. Does anyone has a fix or know what can be causing it to drain like that?
99% of the time it's an app causing it. Look in your battery stats and see what's draining it

No, it's not a app, it started doing this after the June software update. I also has it in safe mode and left it on standby for two hours and it's still draining fast. I could probably left it there for a few hours and it would've been dead the way it's draining.

Try resetting all apps in the reset menu within Settings. If that doesn't work find better battery stats (BBS) here on xda. Install and let it run overnight. In the morning retrieve the log and if it is as bad as you say, the culprit should be obvious. If not just update the phone flashing July (full image not OTA) and let it wipe your data (don't edit the flash-all script)

To be fair the July update has been the worse for me.
I posted a battery stats reset tutorial in pixel 3 xl forum, i was having same issue of battery drain 2% every 3/5 mins, it worked for me, and im 90% sure its the device health services eating up the battery due to the app not sleeping and and getting stuck, resulting in a warm phone and battery drain. Im not saying it will fix you issue but it defo worked for me., Search possible fix for idle battery drain. If reset properly, battery app will say something like "last charge 55days ago " or when ever your phone was calibrated at factory.
Disable digital wellbeing. Mine went from off the charger at 6am, less than 15% by 9pm to 30-40% left at 9. Just find usage access (just search in settings), find it and click it off. Then go to the app and restrict battery and turn off background data. This worked for me, but I don't know if anyone else here tried it. I did read an article about it affecting performance though. Let me know if it helps!
