THIS IS REAL. This also goes against traditional methods/advice of reducing battery drain while idle. Idle battery drain comes mostly from Alarms and Wakelocks that want to work when they're supposed to be sleeping. This GUIDE will help you reduce your idle battery drain to 0% [0.0%/h] without turning your smartphone into a dumbphone. The EVIDENCE is all in the attachments.

0% [0.0%/h] does not mean no battery drain. BetterBatteryStats only detects up to one decimal point so 0.0% means you have a drain of between 0.01% - 0.09% or less than 0.1% so it shows 0.0%.

What you DON'T have to do

NO disabling GPS

NO disabling Auto Sync

NO disabling Google Now

NO disabling Location Services

NO disabling Location History

NO disabling Android Backup

NO disabling WiFi

NO disabling Google Services Framework

NO disabling Receivers

NO disabling Google Maps

NO disabling Facebook / social apps

NO converting Google Play Services to a User App

NO breaking Push Notifications

NO Tasker/Automation battery saving rules

NO Custom ROM involved

NO Init.d Battery saving scripts involved

NO Underclocking involved

NO changing of Governors involved

NO blocking Google IP addresses with Firewall

Doing any one of these "NO's" will reduce battery drain BUT you then mostly lose functionality. So how is it possible, what is involved, what do you get, and how do you do it?

What is possible

GPS - High Accuracy :good:

Choose Battery Saving and no near instantaneous GPS lock. Choose Device Only and Google Maps shows your last GPS location lock (which may not be your current location).

Auto Sync All your Accounts :good:

Google Now, Location Services & History working :good:

Turn off Location Services & History and Google Now doesn't work or as well and your GPS gets turned off.

Android Backup is on :good:

If turned off all your backups will be deleted (it's not a toggle) - thanks Google - not!

WiFi can be kept awake (even during deep sleep) :good:

Scanning always available :good:

Google Services Framework is not disturbed:good:

Receivers are not disturbed :good:

Google Maps is available :good:

It's still the best and has the most up-to-date maps.

Facebook /Social Apps are available :good:

They can be used as they are meant to be. These app can be tamed (with the exception of WeChat(!) - Whatsapp ok, Line Ok).

Google Play Services remains a system app :good:

As it should be - avoid complications.

* Instant Push Notifications :good:

(mileage may vary)

No need for Tasker/Automation battery saving rules :good:

Too many rules and they can also drain the battery. They tend to have one wakelock/alarm for each rule!

Completely Stock Rom (rooted) without need of Init.d, Governors, underclocking, Min/Max CPU, and everything Google is working :good:

Attachment 1: Other

6h 29m 19s Bat.: 0% [0.0%/h]

Deep Sleep

6h 28m 24s 99.8%

Awake

54s 0.2%

As you can see in the status bar, b & kb are being transmitted and the battery temp as well as the time, they are green in colour indicating that the device is connected to a live network - meaning WiFi is on and was never off.

Attachment 2: Kernel Wakelock

All under 15s for nearly 7 hours - if you have kernel wakelock problems, this guide can't help you. Amplify can't limit kernel wakelocks.

Attachment 3: Partial Wakelock

1s for nearly 7 hours - do you like what you see? ;)

Attachment 4: Alarms

Wakeups: 1 for nearly 7 hours - do you like what you see? ;) Com.google.android.gms puts all its alarms under this but each of its alarms is also Wakeups: 1 (see Attachment 5 in next thread).
