I used to have that issue on CM7 many moons ago. Did a bunch of searches and someone mentioned a process call GOOGLEBACKUPTRANSPORT.APK somewhere on XDA, that constantly runs even after you do not choose to backup to google (at least thats what I think its for).

I used root explorer to go into /system/apps and delete the GOOGLEBACKUPTRANSPORT.APK. I have never had any negative effect from doing it. It fixed the Android OS sucking up battery problem. Now I make it a point to delete it after flashing a rom regardless of whether batter drain is there or not. Never had that issue since.

Try it and see what happens. You can always just move it or rename it so you can put it back if it does not solve your problem.
[Vibrant General] Tynen:
I'm trying this now, I'll report back. Thanks :)
[Vibrant General] thaizz:
I'm joining this club.

Mine S2 is having the same problem since yesterday....

System uses 39% and keeps my phone awake for 6 hours now.

Would like to add a screenshot but I can't :(

Info:

Model: GT-I9100

Version: 4.0.3

Baseband: I9100XXLPQ

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505se.infra@SEP-94 #3

Build: Lite'ning ROM v2.1

Post to the Google Code bug
[Vibrant General] ficklecycler:
Just wondering if there have been any discoveries or new info on this problem.

I was experiencing this bug for a long time and I thought it was a bad battery. After replacing my battery it was still happening.
[Vibrant General] 808dp:
Battery life is the sole reason I went from ICS Passion (4.0.3) to Slim ICS (4.0.4).

I think battery life is better now, but I've also been incrementally restoring all my apps, ensuring battery drain isn't unreasonably affected with each restore.
[Vibrant General] krntehknik303:
I have this same issue! My battery lasted up to a day yesterday and today I had to charge my phone twice. Lasted only 4 hours. Pretty ridiculous I would say! I did try removing googletransport.apk and it reduced my android os to 25% or so from 60% that's about it.
[Vibrant General] xdaboualem:
Try using any of the ROMs on Android 4.0.4

EXROM

SLIM ICS

ZenWick

I too was on ICS Passion. I noticed a huge battery improvement when moving to the ROMs listed above (4.0.4 based)
[Vibrant General] krntehknik303:
I was hoping for a work around sigh .
[Vibrant General] rivenward:
Wow, this worked beautifully, thanks a mil illego.

Installed ICS Passion v13.1 a few days ago and had severe battery drainage, from 100% to 0% in 8 hours after calibration.

Looking at the battery stats I realized that the phone was always in AWAKE mode, with ANDROID SYSTEM sapping like 80%.

After renaming GOOGLEBACKUPTRANSPORT.APK the phone finally went into much needed sleep mode.

In hindsight, I enabled Google "Backup this Phone" during first ICS setup, and this must've tried to connect to the internet the whole time or had a process keeping the phone awake.

Brilliant fix, you made my day, thx.
[Vibrant General] Tokae:
I was using ICSSGS's 4.0.3 and noticing that my battery was draining pretty quick with little or no use.

I decided to try the Dark Knight 4.0.4 rom and my battery life has pretty much doubled.

No lock screen issues now either! :)
[Vibrant General] clocinnorcal:
SlimICS!

I have been using SlimICS and have never had any batt drain issues. Googlebackup.apk is removed by default from this ROM.
[Vibrant General] [bman123]:
I never get good battery life on a ics rom, tried on 3 different phones with 6 different roms. It looks nice but isn't battery friendly from my experience.
[Vibrant General] xdaboualem:
You must have one or more apps draining your battery.

User betterbatteryStats or "BadAss battery monitor" to check where battery is being used and whether any app is keeping the phone awake.
[Vibrant General] yardkl:
I agree

I have to agree. When I use a Froyo Rom my phone loses .5% per hour in idle. At times it loses a max of 1% per hour. However, with ICS ROMs I lose around 1.7% per hour. I have tried just about all ICS Roms, and all Kernels. While some are better than others, 1.7% per hour is pretty standard with any ICS. Trust me, I have no deep sleep issues, and no abnormal wakelocks. I've read all the post of saving battery life, and done them all. Roughly 1.7% per hour is what I get with any ICS Rom.

Personally, I like the look and feel of ICS so I just take the good with the bad. Can anyone shed some light on this. Why does ICS drain battery so quickly in idle vs older android versions. Or, is it just the Vibrant? Im stumped.
[Vibrant General] DeerSteak:
I'm on a CM9 nightly right now, and I also tried SlimROM 3.6 and I'm getting 12 hours out of my battery. I used CM 7.2 RC in between and got around 30 hours. That's probably what I'm going to go back to, just so I don't have to keep my phone on a charger at work and still be able ot make it through the commute + work day. Battery screen says 67% of my use is Android System.
[Vibrant General] manlisten:
Oh wow and all this time I thought the issue was that my battery was shot. I was seeing pretty similar results on all 4.0.3 based ROMs. Just flashed Gummy and my idle battery performance is much better. Was losing around 40% overnight on 4.0.3 (~7 hours), lost about 5% overnight on Gummy.
[Vibrant General] D4rKlar:
I can definitely confirm no adverse effects and an increase in battery life by turning off Google backup and removing the GoogleBackupTransport.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zero0n3:
hello

since 2 days ago, after i detouch GN from powerline it still show the battery icon with white flash like under powerline and if i press the power button to put phone in standby, afeter 3-4 seconds the display return on

i'm wondering what would be the best choice of CM9 from other devices to get the port from?

SGSII? NOTE?

please advice.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] emprize:
Seems note has the near the same hardware spec with 7.7, but s2 has the official 4.03 from samsung
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] locerra:
I started from the s2 source (see the thread in the dev-section), unfortunately I have gotten really busy with work so I won't really be able to put much time into it right now. If you are interested in working on it, go look at the repos I posted in that thread. I've most recently been trying to get the touch to work properly, however, the driver for it in the 7.7 source code is a complete mess, and more complicated than other drivers that have been fixed for ics.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hdnebat:
I have GT-P6800, does same repository apply to it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] locerra:
All but the android_device_samsung_p6810 should, and that last one should be easy to convert. If you are interested in working on it, I would suggest forking the common ones so that we can share our work easily.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbatavia:
I used to be Dlev ROM. Before upgrading to ICS, I backed up everything on Titanium Backup PRO.

After updating, most of the Apps restore fine but there are two games which refuse to be installed. Since I'd made a nandroid back up as well, I rolled back to the Dlev ROM and backed those games up again... Still no luck.

This happens with all ICS ROMS I've tried (three of them).

Any idea why/what's happening?

Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Reads like they are not ICS compatible or require a new download .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckle03:
This also happened during froyos transition to gb way back. Some apps arernt optimize yet for gb. This could be the reason some apps arnt optimize for ics.. just my opinion. I could be wrong..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbatavia:
Ah, thank you gentlemen!

I'll try redownloading the games. Otherwise I'll just have to wait until they become compatible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckle03:
Your even lucky only 2 apps wernt restored on TB. Mine just hangs at around a certain % and i need to force close TB. Went back to gb and just wait for the next updates ( a more solid ics build ). As they say patience is a virtue.

If so grab the "proper" cfroot kernel because chainfire found and fixed Samsung's hidden check to stop some apps installing.
