Those are core process so it might not be good to mess with them. They also happen to be the exact same 2 process I was describing when I referred you to my write-up about processor revving in combo ROMS. You could revisit those posts and test as I had described. I would actually be interested in knowing if you see the same revving - it sounds like you might be and the tests might be informative.
[Motorola Atrix HD] oscar the grouch:
So I have an issue.

My brothers xt926 the GPS doesn't work and the phone people can't hear him till he reboots. He is updated to the kkbl and I think he's using philz touch 6.50

Any ideas
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I figured that they were important processes. I was just making sure. So...ur saying that the pull down drawer(status bar) may be the drain issue?

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

@kris

Maybe this is why...why so many Google play services ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Well, one consideration is that Validus GZR ROM does not seem to be prone to that particular issue (in my tests) and there may be a variety of things that can cause those processes to spike or rev, so it may be unlikely that you are experiencing the exact same issue. Still... it might be worth a look using the method I refereed to previously (testing the behavior of notification shade and back button).

KrissM22 knows a bunch more than me about this stuff so let that advice supersede mine, but for what it is worth: Google is all too present and busy on the phone and at a more granular level those are likely to be sub-services that perform different functions. There are certain situations where one of those services might rev and drain battery but if they are not spiking/reving processor or causing wakelocks they may not be the cause of your battery drain. Worth investigating if you haven't yet.

BTW, when you experience issues like this it is good practice to try a very clean test. Do a clean install of only the ROM (no Gapps) and test for the problem installing only what diagnostic tools required to test. It's a bit of work but if you really need to find the source of the issue might help. That is how I isolated the notification-shade/back-button issue in Carbon.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Wow. U read my mind teck.. Lol. I was thinking of flashing ROM without gapps to see if that battery issue persists.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Smooth install and run. Big improve over v5. Thanks GZR.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Where can I find the new one? The new version of this ROM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
What's your battery consumption at idle?
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Where would I look to find that #? 1HR 46MIN 1% and most of that near the beginning.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I use better Battery Stats (and in the past used a battery monitor by Fulmine) to see what percentage of battery is used per hour at "idle". When things a right I use .8% - 1.1%. To test this l leave the phone idle (screen, gps, wifi, mobile data, lte, autosync, background data all off) for at least an hour. LOL because I cant keep my hands off the phone for more than a few minutes I usually test this overnight :) The reason I ask is that GZR, like all the combo ROMs, seems to use more processor for System UI and Android System when the screen is on and I've never gotten a good guage when the phone is "idle" as described above. It may be the kind of thing that only an extreme battery miser would notice but it is the main thing that keeps me on CM.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

You edit posts almost as frequently as I do :). In re 1%/1.75hours - that's in the range I would hope for. GZR here we go!
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
Oh - DUH - "0.5%/hr"
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
That's so good I'm inclined to think it's partially due to the fact that the battery wears faster slower/faster at different points in the run from 100% down, and more variability is added by different long term usage/charging patterns. I bet over time it approaches 1%/hour. Still reassuring. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
I do I do - you really have to wait a couple minutes after I post to see the whole thing. I know it's bad form, but hey! Remember I've only used this for a couple of hours, and mostly idle. It's the 08-19 build which I think is the latest - just grabbed the OP link. It seems a mature ROM. I'm heading out. Later.

there is a 1 min wait after logon to wifi - be patient!!! (1st boot only!)
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Have tested this before just boomeranging back. [Final Edit:D]
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
"100-96% - 3h 39m - 1.1%/h" Some use, screen on=9min, pocket mode still on always (forgot about that!)(DUH!)
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Nice. Mine is getting better as well. Used app ops and closed some apps via apps..
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
That's actually not bad. Unfortunately I've been able to replicate 2 types of increased processor usage. As usual if it is just me I have no complaints because there are other options, but I‘m still interested in knowing if anyone else sees this on an AHD/MB886. I have used Playstore app Watchdog Task Manager Lite by Zomut to test and grab screens in full builds. I clean flash only and I have confirmed results using Performance Settings on installs with no gapps, no additional apps, no configuration changes made.

1) SLIGHTLY HIGHER PROCESSOR USAGE

System UI and Android System both use noticeably more processor than they do in CM. This may only occur when the screen is on and could be a necessary evil of having all the extra features, or even a part of a smarter way to manager processor usage. Not the sort of thing many people would notice without specifically testing for it, but to a power miser it is noticeable (see attatched pic Normal GZR.png compared to Normal CM.png).

2) SIGNIFICANT PROCESSOR REVVING

In Carbon for some time and now in GZR; a significant processor revving of System UI (see attatched pic Revving GZR.png). This can be replicated by dragging the Notification Shade/Status bar down and using the Back Button to raise it. To varying degree swiping the notification shade up instead of using back button rectifies but not always.

In the Carbon forum arrrghhh indicated that this may relate to newer Notification Shade/Status Bar settings, particularly AM/PM. To this I would add my layperson observer opinion that this is why only the Center clock option made it into CM which had far less processor usage.

This issue seems to have started shortly after appearance of the KKBL (for that that is worth)

Anybody else?
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
"5h 9m - 100-94% - 1.2%/h" Screen on=11m.

Well... Having wasted the last 2 days simply because I did not test the problem on a different ROM, I choose not to beat Validus to death. I will, however, sit here at least until CM11jbbl straightens itself out.

I normally do very little on a phone - mostly bus timings to save myself time; rarely a map or 2. When I'm playing, I expect it to go down. CM11jbbl currently drains when I'm ignoring it. Validus does not.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Yep, you've done a bunch of testing lately, the results of which kept me from switching back to nighties. Seriously, thanks for that! I have to use my phone for work (the only reason I use Gmail/docs/sheets) and could deal with the slightly higher and perhaps not detrimental processor usage but not a 30% revving induced by normal GUI interaction. Apart from that the ROM is really smooth and has lots of options... as usual.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
well, you could give AOSB a try - I had to grab a different contacts and messaging but ymmv. Otherwise it seemed fine, but I did not beat it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I've tried the most recent AOSB (and already 8MS for messaging) but had problem with a long delay before boot animation started and complete startup freeze in ART. I know AOSB includes Xposed which is not ART compatible but that did not prevent from running ART in earlier version. Happy for now on CM M10 and always checking for new versions of GZR and AOSB.
[Motorola Atrix HD] oscar the grouch:
6.2 should be out soon sounds like. and it will be the last from them until L drops. I hope that we dont get lost in the conversion
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
When I get msg with active display it says security enhancement can't display. Why is that?
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
From kabaldan,

There's a GPS engine lock (security feature) implemented by Moto.

When you enable GPS on stock firmware, GPS engine becomes unlocked and GPS requests can be answered by modem (via QMI interface). When you disable GPS on stock, the engine becomes locked and any GPS requests will be silently ignored.

GPS HAL libraries used in*CM11 moto_msm8960 builds for kk bootloader are not able to unlock the engine.

If you've had GPS disabled on stock firmware before you flashed a custom ROM, the engine stays locked and GPS won't work for you.
[Motorola Atrix HD] oscar the grouch:
How do I fix it?

And should we be getting 6.2 soon?
[Motorola Atrix HD] RonDelonge182:
i really like this ROM

the only issue i'm having is the weak wifi signal.

with all other KK roms i use i can use my wifi in places that in this rom i can't...

any fix for weak wifi?
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
WiFi works fine on my end. Maybe its a radio issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:

Hi bro,

I've flash new build 6.2-official-20141029.... awesome.

But I have issue with "long press a notification" on notification drawer (may be it related with Filter Notifications feature), give Force Close SystemUI, here's logcat: http://goo.gl/t8DRqK

Just for info; those builds you find on afh are for testing purpose only.

Yesterday's build for jbbl didn't boot, so it's deleted and a new one is already there (untested)

I build them without the device, so watch out for snakes when downloading.

What's diff about new 6.2? Have u noticed any battery drainage issues? I really love this rom
[Motorola Atrix HD] Jaysp656:
I just came off the last Gummy rom release to try this one and it seems really fast in comparison but I seem to be having an issue with people not being able to hear me during phone calls unless I turn on the speaker phone. I think this is generally an issue I was getting with several roms awhile back but hadn't run into it the last few months. Besides that it's a great rom from what I can tell ^_^

EDIT: Hope the update is for KKbl soon : P
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Mate the kk version is also at the OP post of this thread.

As for the hearing problem try to enable the Music Effects at the Sounds menu. This rom should be as solid or better then stock as when we release a new version it takes a bit over a month most of the times to correct all the bugs
[Motorola Atrix HD] Jaysp656:
:/ Maybe I got it mixed up with Tesla rom. I could have sworn the upload for KK was over a month old. I'll take a look at the Music effects like you suggested and see if that helps. Still, great rom from everything I've seen so far. ^_^

Though I do wish it was bluer to match the Crystal 2 theme I stick to. ;P
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Do you mean blurr or blue? Lol for blur you can use xpoxed frameworks app Blurr Systems UI and that will do the trick
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Guys if more then ten of you will like me to include a battery mod with this rom so you can customize your battery to what ever you like let me know and i can make an update including that mod Where you can see it from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53789414
[Motorola Atrix HD] Jaysp656:
I meant blue :) . I use the Crystal 2 theme, which is basically the only theme I've really really liked (Wish it had more to it ;-; ). I noticed some things that are grey-ish didn't seem themeable in Xposed. Oh and I'd like the battery mod perhaps. (>_>) though I really like the thinner circle battery that Gravity Box has. I like that more than the thicker one that is what I find everywhere else.

I uninstalled the music effect driver and will see if that will help with the mic issues I'm having with calls when not on speakerphone

[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
You might want to use an earlier gapps. In both of the CM nighties with which I used PA Nano Gapps 11/3, the google accounts on the phone were deleted by a play store update that was invoked the first time the phone was connected to mobile data with background data set to on. Usually in-line play store updates will preserve your accounts so I think google saw something it did not like in the gapps and that this was a "replacement update" rather than a "next version" update. Could be something google is up to but I've never had that before with earlier gapps packages. If there has been a new update to Play Store (since the one last week) it may not matter which Gapps to use.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
OK. Thanks..but what date..and where can I find older ones? I don't see them in o.p
