Hi there and good days to all.
May i know does anyone having the issue of background camera service is draining the battery?
i did not use the camera often, but when check on the battery history it show the camera service was ran for more than 1 hour.

I have a strange issue with my 32G WiFi FLO that I was hoping the knowledgeable members of XDA could help me diagnose.
Since I got it at launch, it's been sucking the battery dry. But not consistently. I have no idea what or why, but here's what I know so far:
All details are with auto sync OFF. WiFi OFF on sleep, location services ON (but cannot use WiFi)
Not unlocked or rooted (stock)
- From boot, and for the first 20-40 hours after that, battery usage on standby averages out to around 0.13% per hour.
- After that, and for no reason I can discern, battery usage jumps to an average of 0.84% per hour, and keeps draining like this usually until I reboot or need to charge
- Stock battery app shows no apps draining, BBS shows no apps draining stuff or excessive wakelocks and indicates the tablet is spending most of its time in deep sleep.
- Life with screen usage seems to be around 7+ hours either way, so this is as expected.
- Sent to ASUS to diagnose & repair, received with note that front camera unit replaced and OS reloaded.
- Issue is still occurring after "repair"
- apps running at the time are usually Android Keyboard, Android Services, Settings. Sometimes Play Store, Currents (even though I don't use it and have never launched it), Google Play Services as well. These are the only apps that run regardless of state of battery drain.
Can anyone think of any reason this is occurring, or where else I can go to check for more info? I'd prefer to stay stock/unrooted.
I'm looking to send it back for RMA *again*, but I'd rather tell them where to look than try and trust that they'll know where to look to fix it this time.
Guess no-one else has this issue or any ideas on where to look for this, since there are no replies
Hi,
I owe a Note 2 N7100 with stock ROM Android 4.4.2. I have only 3G enabled round the clock with sync enabled. I use third party app to manage the screen brightness automatically for lower down the power consumption. Since past few weeks I am noticing that the battery is being drained very fast and resulting into a backup of 10-11 hrs in standby condition with no phone calls at all.
I used both the in-built and Gsam battery monitoring utilities to find out the cause but couldn't tracked it down. Can anyone here will help me out with the root cause of the drainage problem by analysing the snapshots ?
I'm having a xperia z1 compact and been using it since last 9 months with very minor bugs which most of you'll agree like the camera bug.
But since last 2 weeks my phone is overheating even for moderate usage and slight battery drain. Even while playing small games like subway surf or even browsing through imdb makes the phone real hot like I can make an omelette on its back.
Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it specific to my phone only?
Is it a good option to give it to the service centre as it's still in warranty nor should I not bother since it's not a qualitative problem.I don't use it for hardcore gaming (I don't have any). I use our only for browsing, music and social networking. But this recent overheating problem is bothering
Also is there a chance that battery might be dying since my battery backup has also decreased by around 30 %
Go to the battery settings and check if there is an app that causes the drain.
Sometimes nova launcher starts behaving this way for me but it can be fixed by clearing the app data and reimporting the settings.
Facebook is using around 30% of the battery
Doesn't rebooting clear data, because I usually reboot one once in 2days
My battery usage also shows WiFi- on the whole time which wasn't true. This happened today only though
i had to uninstall facebook it was destroying my battery for some reason. It's not doing this on my nexus 7 though
Facebook consumes a lot battery and memory. I noticed when i using fb my getting hotter
Up to now I'm happy with my Z1C.
But in the last weeks the battery drain went up.
Before that I could get a day and a half to two days of use , I am a moderate user during the day.
Most of the time wifi is off, 4g is off but bluetooth is on, day and night.
Before I had bluetooth turned off when not in the car.
But because I bought a Smartband talk I switched bluetooth to on without turning it off again.
Up to last week the battery was draining faster because of the bluetooth use but it was still good enough for me.
The last weeks / months I downloaded a lot more music on the external card and switched USB use to MSC so I could use it in my car. I listened to music in the car when driving to and from my workplace (1 hour drive single way).
Because it was charging in the morning and in the evening I did not notice any abnormal behavior.
Before I started to use the phone as a mediaplayer in the car I could get 1.5 to 2 days.
When using it as a mediaplayer this did not change, probably because of the charging in the car
Now I switched from workplace and stopped listening to music in the car.
Now my phone lasts for 0.8 up to 1 day max.
When looking at the battery stats it seems to me the mediaserver was eating up a lot.
So I deleted all data from the phone and I did a reset to factory settings. I also removed 80% of the music on the external sd card.
But even then I get a battery drain from 30-35% in about 7 hours time during the night.
I'm running again with only necessary apps installled.
So for the time being no xposed modules, no smartband talk and only switching bluetooth on when using the phone in the car.
But the problem does not seem to be solved.
I have a weak signal at home (1 bar), I had a weak signal at my previous workplace (1 bar) and I have a weak signal at my current workplace (als 1 bar max).
I wonder what is eating the battery so fast?
Is it the weak signal?
Is it because I charged the battery too much (every morning and evening in the car)?
Is my battery dying?
Is it related to an app (multiple apps)?
I have this phone since april 2014.
I am on 14.4.A.0.108 / unlocked / rooted with the doomkernel v22.
So can anybody tell me what monitoring app to use and how to interprete the results from such an app?
I'm in stamina mode.
Estimated lifespan battery is at 2 days when an actual battery percentage of 42%.
I already have betterbatterystats but I do not know if this is the best app for monitoring.
Is there something else I have to look into?
Today I was trying to get my settings in the state I need them to be and when looking at power management / battery usage I can see the screen is the biggest battery user but that seems normal in the current situation.
What about deep sleep, how to monitor this?
How to identify apps being the biggest battery consumers?
What about the apps in manage notifications, there's a lot of them, will it help disabling some / a lot of them?
I really like to get back to charging the phone only once every 2 days.
Any help would really be appreciated.

Better Battery Stats is you friend, it will help you locate what it depleting your battery and keeping your phone awake, as well as listing the deepsleep times .
If you have a rooted phone download Disableservice from the playstore. Reading your post you use a fitness tracker so disabling all of these might not work, but it's worth a go.
Once it's installed, open the system tab, open Google Play Services, then untick (disable) the following:
ConfigFetchService
FitnessSyncAdapterService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
NetworkLocationService
ProximitySettingInjectorService
UserPresenceService
WearableControlService
WearableService
WearableSyncService
then reboot your phone.
Disabling these from running should have no impact on your phone, it doesn't for me, and will give you 10-15% more battery life.
Turning of sync on your Gmail also saves a lot of battery, especially if you live in a poor reception area, as it polls the Gmail server every few minutes. Likewise sync on your normal emails. It means you have to check yourself to see if you have any mail, but will put a few extra hours on your battery.
The other thing that extended my battery life was deleting the cached data. Settings\Storage and hold down on Cached data until you get a popup asking you to delete it. I know it sounds bizarre, but it really worked.
Try putting a stock kernel back in for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
I recently bought this phone, I updated everything system, apps......the camera keeps running the background, even when I have closed the app.....
Problems does go away if I clear data of camera app...but I don't want to do this everytime.......I bought the same phone for my mum, and same thing is happening there too, on top of that in her phone chrome is consuming a lot of battery even when the phone is idle...... please help me out
Also I did try that restrict background activity but that option did nothing and the time on "while in background" kept on increasing
P.S location was off.
Never happened this problem to my European LG G7 Thinq (LMG710EM).
Anyway you have to turn off "background activity flag" to stop background activities of any app (do it for each app).
But consider also that the 7% of battery may be consumed just in that 11 minutes.
Shooting photo consumes a lot of battery...
After a week I have figured that you need to compromise on 2 features to get a good battery life ......1st obvious one was always on display, after disabling that, battery life increased a lot, but my idle battery drain was still 1-2 % per hour with wifi turned off.......2nd I disabled the double tap to wake (knock on) and hallelujah! Now on idle it barely drains 1-2% overnight.....
This is a great phone but lacks in the battery department...I mean, I don't mind disabling aod but double tap to wake is a great feature to have...too bad it drains the battery like hell
