[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Arthedes:
P

Well I certainly don't seem to get those results: Lost 18% battery last night. Didn't touch the phone.

Even though I'm not greenyfied and what not like I used to do back in the day, I'm getting real tired of android phones just losing all their battery over night.

I'm not running any particularly intensively syncing apps that justifies my phone (appearantly) not dozing and losing a fifth of its battery over night. Literally 18% in 7 hours of not touching the phone.

I always seem to get worse results than other android users in forums because of some reason but this is just so much worse than losing 5% compared to other people losing 1% over night. I'lost a fifth of my battery with the phone doing nothing.

What could be the cause of this?

Im using ambient display but it is switched off during the night in Do not disturb mode.

I turned on all location services because I was getting real tired of google maps asking for it when im trying to navigate but I cant see how occasionally scanning for wifi and bluetooth networks for location can drain 18%...

I havent turned on smart lock because detecting that im at home and keeping the phone unlocked always seemed to kill my battery even though people on forums reported no major battery drain because of this feature. I wanted to see what the drain was without this feature turned on.

I dont use alle the gestures like pocket detection and hand wave because it would seem to me the proximity sensor would be constanty turned on and drain the battery.

I have apps like facebook, whatsapp and gmail installed but I reckon those should be dozed and cant drain that much battery.

I mean im not going out of my way to conserve battery but with all those battery optimisation features google added over the past few years, I can't see myself going through the hassle of greenifying and constantly monitoring wakelocks and battery drain again. Aint nobody got time for that.

Of course, when you start googling, it's all the user's fault. You didn't turn wifi off before you went to sleep. You are running auto brightness etc etc. I'm not going to turn off all the features that make my phone smart.

What am I doing wrong that is causing the drain? I cant see my settings justifying a 18% drain over 7 hours...

I cant seem to get how phone batteries are getting bigger and bigger when theres still all these bugs that negate the battery size. How can apple phones have almost the same features yet drain noting over night? They seem to get that off means off and no battery should be drained while you are sleeping.

pls halp

TL;DR: Losing 18% in 7 hours overnight. What could be the problem? Running build 1230

Also, with forcedoze, do you still get whatsapp messages and such?

EDIT: I saw syncing might be the problem, and theres a sync error coming from gmail. Im using a hotmail account on gmail. Also, gmail doesnt offer push notifications for hotmail. Should i use another app and disable gmail? I feel like this shouldnt be necessary.

EDIT2: I did notice i had duplicate contacts when I first ran this rom. I deleted them all but might that be the cause of the gmail sync issue?

EDIT3: I turned off Gmail sync in accounts --> google and I turned off ambient display and left my phone for 2 hours. It drained from 21% to 10% in that time span. According to GSAM, the phone did doze, so I don;t know what could be causing the drain.

The battery is 6 months old: I got a new stock battery for my S5 when I bought it.
