Google Now and location will always end up being a drain unless disabled. 200 from Facebook/Messenger if you only had 10 notifications isn't normal. Greenify. And disable the sync services if you have them active.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
I will try out Greenify.

My settings from Sprint to Tmo havent changed. But, I have no way of looking back on things.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Are send_idle alarms really wakelocks? They are the only one that I have, but I have some of them to be honest
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Unless your device is constantly awake then theres no point worrying about it. If it appears in battery stats but doesn't wakelock your device then it's probably doing/did something while the screen is on, not off. Or did something before you turned the screen off or as soon as you turned on the screen to check the battery stats.

As I said previously, you're trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist. It's just like saying "Oh I opened Tapatalk for 5 seconds and it used 0.5% battery with one wake even though the screen was on. Better uninstall." Just no. Screen on and a wakelock/alarm isn't anything. Screen off and a wakelock is the issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just curious, what are your average total and screen times roughly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
You mean how much sot can I get, or total time vs screen on?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Both. Total time... An average. And screen time.

Screen shot the gsam main screen... Just make sure ads aren't covering the averages at the bottom. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
I installed bbs, did a fresh install today and didn't install gsam, but you can see here

Percentage is just stacked, that often happens on s2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That has no averages?

I mean in the course of many days.... What do you average for hours for a total charge from 100 percent to dead or close to it. And how many hours of screen on time do you normally get per charge.....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Ohh using the phone a lot I can get to 4 hours sot in 7 or 8 hours. If not I can get 2 hours on a close to 24 hours cycle
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you.

So, you are in good shape. Those are great times for an s2.

You have no issue. Enjoy your device and stop worrying... Unless those times get far worse. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Haha thank you pal
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saviora:
resolved!

battery replacement completed and issue is resolved. the old battery was swollen like a balloon and pushing the backplate out. should've taken the cover off and wouldve noticed earlier.

attached ss of first charge cycle still going strong on the new battery

Thanks Sandman-007

edit: (Not sure if this is breach of forum rules) just FYI for Sydney-siders, AU - i bought the battery at Easyphix - level1/686 Botany Rd, Mascot. Intersection of Botany Rd and Gardners Rd. costs AU$24 which also includes the tools to do the battery change. howto video is available online. battery replacement is very easy - takes about 10mins.

[MENTION=4022586]saviora[/MENTION] Awesome! Nice job. Glad I could help :). And don't worry you providing a location to get a great deal is not against the rules and is in fact encouraged.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
I'll keep bothering a little more

maybe you [MENTION=4828464]Sandman-007[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] , have you disabled some services on google services framework? gtalk related services are there, but when i disable them, i stop receiving notifications from gcm apps, which is kinda weird, and if i let it enabled it will be running in the background , and it's gtalk related, i don't understand why

also when i disable this services, my phone bars go white (blue on jellybean while connected) so it shows it's not connecting to google services.

Can you post a screenshot of your services on framework to check? have you denied permission to wake the phone too?

regards
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Personally, I wouldn't mess with Google services framework. First, it's unnecessary and should cause you issue left alone. Second, you can find yourself unable to boot, or with endless FC's .

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do.... We've established that your battery life is above average already. If you keep going, you'll probably be visiting Odin soon. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
On KitKat I thought white bars meant it was connected and orange bars indicate you are not?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
[MENTION=4133749]Facuu[/MENTION] [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] is right. Generally you should leave GSF alone. However me being the crazy guy I am I messed around. Haven't flashed stock once since I've gotten this phone :). Disable this stuff and nothing else!

Oh and if you use Greenify make sure you have The donation package and gcm push enabled in Greenify
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Luckily i've never had to visit Odin, my phone is quite stable while messing around.

It was just that i wanted to know why if i'm not using anything related to google besides playstore, i have services and processes running in the background doing nothing.

It's not really that good though, i use an extreme battery profile, the phone is kinda slow, everything is black, even the wallpaper, and i only use it for whatsapp and some music.

And it's not sleeping well, i mean, awake vs sot difference should be as close to 0 as possible.

I usually finish having 2 hours of difference, or more, so my phone with screen off was awake for like 2 hours doing nothing, and wasting battery.

Anyway if you all think there's nothing else to be done, then i'll stop and try to get along with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Freeze all your carrier apps, Samsung apps, most TouchWiz stuff and use a different launcher. With location off, Google now off and anything else you don't use... Awake time should drop. Also, playing music adds to awake time minute for minute.

But if it's user installed apps keeping the phone awake, then you have to deal with them.

Google services framework always runs. Half the phones features depend on it. I greenified once and ended up Flashing stock cause I couldn't get through all the force closes to do anything about it. The quickest fix to me was just re-flashing. Lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
[MENTION=4133749]Facuu[/MENTION] I'm late because I was asleep but the only service I disable for Google Services Framework is SystemUpdateService. I leave everything else.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetrod60:
hi guys, i have a few question related to my battery drains :

i am using kernel faux and stock rom android kk 4.4. During the night when sleeps i lost almost 2.8% (With Dt2wake on) and 2.2% (With dt2wake off) while i was in stock kernel and stock rom i got arround 0.8% battery drains during the night when sleeps.

My settings is the same for before i flash faux and after i am using faux : Greenify almost every apps, using tasker to every 1 minutes screen off to turn connectivity off and then turn on every 30 minutes for 1 minutes, location off, auto rotation off, auto sync off, auto brightness off and using display brightness to adjust screen as dim as possible (most of my days i am using 1% brightness since i have more indoor activities). And here as follows is the ss for my activities during the day, without dt2wake on. (i unplug my charger 100% at 8:am this morning and directly using my phone no sleeps):

Is this normal? because i dont have any more idea how to get more juice from my settings, while other people claims this kernel would be able to have SOT more than 3 hours with standby time more than 20 hours.

Thank you

GCM_Reconnect

I've disabled several things I don't need, and I have decent battery life, I think, but I was just wondering why on BBS, I get alarms (at least 10/hour) of com.google.android.intent.action.GCM_RECONNECT.

I know you guys have said "Don't touch GCM stuff" but I'm wondering why that keeps kicking off. I think all told it's a relatively minor battery drain, but what is it doing?

I've disabled anything dealing with "checkin" or "gtalk" and that has helped quite a bit. I typically have Google Now, and location services and everything related turned off (Until I need it). Although I learned from this thread that the location setting of "device only" is actually better on the battery than the "Battery saving (Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine location)". I hadn't realized that.

Anyway, I guess not much of a question, but mostly curious about the GCM_RECONNECT and just a big THANK YOU for putting all this information out there for us. Very helpful.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It starts because its being used. Just because its being used, doesn't mean it keeps your device awake when the screen is off.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpaulien:
Thank you. That makes sense. I guess I have a couple other questions. I typically have sync disabled, but have e-robot (similar to tasker) turn it on when I plug in my phone. But sometimes I toggle it on while unplugged. I was just wondering, what is the difference between "Contacts" and "People Details?" Do I need to have them both on? Or is contacts enough? I just don't know, basically all I want is to make sure my Google Contacts (gmail, etc) are synced between the "cloud" and my phone. Is that People, or Contacts?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
As far as I know, "People Details" syncs Google+ (and subsequently, Play Games) contacts, "Contacts" syncs your contact list, and "Gmail" syncs your email along with Gmail contacts. I could be wrong about the Gmail contacts though, it's possible it could fall under Contacts or People Details too. Better you just Google it lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Gmail contacts fall under People Details ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Cool then. Makes sense either way anyways lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpaulien:
I actually HAD Googled it at one point, but got too confused, so I always just check both. That's why I was asking, to see if somebody else actually understood it.

So if all I care about is gmail contacts being synced I should have "People Details" checked, but go ahead and uncheck "Contacts"?

So Contacts is G+ contacts, then?

Maybe I'll just keep checking them both, just to make sure.

Really, all I want is to have all the email addresses and phone numbers that are in my Gmail contacts list available on my phone.

Now that I've had 2 opposite answers to the question, I think I'll just keep checking both. I'm sure there's no actual harm in that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Could just test it out. Turn on one sync, add a gmail contact on your PC and see if it syncs. If not, then try the other. Lol.

I'm gonna hit this phone against a wall, 20 mins sot, 40 mins awake, on 2 hours. No kernel wakelocks, no partial wakelocks, and 23 alarms from gms, 9 send_idle, 9 mcs_heartbeat and 4 event log receiver

send idle i think it's ok, it's just to inform the phone that it's idle and go to sleep, event log receiver is not so important, and if i disable something i get event log handoff partial wakelock forever

mcs_heartbeat, i want to kill that badly

It's just to inform you lol, i'll try to dig a little more.

Another question: how long does your phone take from screen off to deep sleep? i mean when you turn off the screen, how seconds or minutes the phone keeps awake till it finally enter deep sleep?

Edit: i'll promise that as soon as i finish this i'll stop asking and start helping a little more

So I greenified Facebook and manner

Messenger, but it's still showing up...

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Just checked Greenify, seems something is up with FB
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You're issues are all Bluetooth related. Try next time with it off. If it is off, then perhaps something is trying to use it anyway. Look at anything at all that is associated with Bluetooth. Have a smart watch our anything?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The simplest fix is using your browser for Facebook. And saying bye to it and messenger. Your battery will thank you greatly. ;)

But something is keeping it awake. If you use messenger it will definitely also wake up Facebook. Then Greenify is working over time trying to hibernate them both.

Facebook app is simply awful for the battery. It's well known.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
If I open Facebook app, is there a lag before Greenify kicks in and when the app can still do what it wants?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I couldn't say. I've never used the Facebook app. Not even on Facebook. Lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
You can just force Hibernate it in that case lol. Like I've said before, back when I still had a Facebook account and used the app, if you have it Greenified, as long as you don't check it every 5 seconds or get 100 notifications an hour, it'll hardly use any more battery than any other app. Its no different to any other app, its just one that syncs and wakelocks a lot if you don't manage it properly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
I also use the browser for Facebook.

And [MENTION=4828464]Sandman-007[/MENTION] I already had them disabled . anyway your gsf screenshot helped me ! Now I'm testing it , but at least I know how to do it again in case I screw something up.

I still don't get why people keep downloading Facebook app, it's the same as the browser but slower, and worse, and a hog.

I do use messenger though, unluckily I need it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Also, if you disable services that another service uses, it'll use more battery than save because its going to keep trying to run something that's disabled ._.

Only disable what causes issues. Don't disable a ton of stuff purely for the sake of disabling.

Another thing I should say is that you should look at the native battery stats before going to gsam/bbs. If the battery stats show that your device is awake a lot while the screen is off, THEN consult gsam/bbs. If you look at wakelocks before seeing if your device was even being held awake, its pointless as the services aren't draining your battery in the first place.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
[MENTION=3719021]Mindspin_311[/MENTION] of you must have a Facebook app get friendcaster (I use it) or "Fast for Facebook". What I'm doing right now is using the official app but I created a Tasker event to freeze Facebook and messenger through TIBU when the app gets greenified. Problem solved :). Of you after worried about not getting notifications during a conversion in messenger or you r uploading a pic on a slow data connection then add a delay and a speed checker to the tasker profile ;)

My battery life is like 2 hours screen on. That's lame. But here is the thing : when it comes to approximately 15% it just shut down. Then, when I restart the phone, it says it has reached 0... And it shut down again.

Your battery life seems normal for your usage. Why do you think you would need to game on a WiFi connection? Unless it's a online multiplayer game that will make little difference.

Even if you game in Airplane mode you won't notice it lasting much longer as gaming will just generally use a lot of battery. Radios use battery over long periods of time, so in the 3-4hours of maximum gaming time you could get in on one charge the radios will have minimal impact.
