Battery usage of one app 116%? - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

So, has anyone experienced anything like this? It's from a M4 Aqua Dual.
One screenshot is taken this afternoon and shows the battery usage of Android OS of 116% and then when checked again later in the day Android OS went back to 49%? I realise that if other apps use more battery the usage of "android OS" will diminish, but 116%?
Thanks,

[Q] Battery usage only displaying standard processes

Hello,
I am on XXLPQ 4.0.3 with Siyah Kernel. Lately I noticed that the battery usage details do not show any apps anymore, but only "standard processes". For example I am playing a game or using google navigation for some hours, which uses a lot of battery, but the battery monitor then only shows display 83%, although a lot of battery was used not by the display being on but by a certain app.
I am not sure when exactly this started, but I do remember that I saw a lot of different apps in the battery view, now it is only display, calls, android system and so on.
Does anyhone have a clue what could be the reason and how to "fix" this?

This happens because the standard Android battery monitor is far from reliable.
Download Better battery stats (paid but free on XDA) or GSam battery monitor (free, paid) if you need accurate battery monitor

just check once, by wiping battery stats in recovery then do fixpermissions reboot the phone and see afterwards the same
Thanks, I wiped battery stats and fixed permissions, but unfortunately that did not change a thing, still only seeing the same 5 processes in the battery overview.
I know better battery stats and also use that to check for wakelocks, but I'd still like to use the built-in funcitonality for a quick overview.
Any other ideas?

If you are bent in using the inbuilt battery monitor, the only solution is by updating your kernel to latest version or Changing the kernel to another
Good luck

[Q] Android System Draining Battery with High CPU Time

I am using a OnePlus One on Exodus ROM and have noticed that the "Android System" is draining my battery, with very high CPU use time. The problem has persisted with every ROM I have tried, including Cyanogen 12S and CyanogenMod 12.1. It also persists regardless of kernel. I am currently using the AK Kernel, but the same problem happens even with the stock kernel. I used the SystemPanel app to determine which process is using the CPU (hence draining my battery) and it seems to be a process called "system". Does anyone know why this problem is occuring? Your help is much appreciated.
Screenshots are attached. Thanks again for your help.
Uninstall apps one by one until the cpu usage goes down, (enable show cpu usage in development)
Or wipe everything, and install your apps one each day until you receive problems

I tried that last night and it didn't work. The system process had a CPU time of over 2 hours today, and when I use the SystemPanel app to monitor usage, it always seems to be using CPU. Please help!
EDIT: I looked at another CPU monitor and realized that that the following processes are consistently eating CPU: Android System, Settings Storage, Phone, ANT HAL Service, and LocationServices. I'm really not sure why this is. Again, your help is *much* appreciated!

Battery drain on 5.1.1 update for SGP321

I had installed the new pre-rooted Android 5.1.1 update for Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE (Pollux). I faced severe battery drain even when the stamina mode and low battery mode were ON. I had around 35% battery level and i was chatting with my girlfriend on facebook messenger app. In just an hour the Tablet shut down itself and the battery was empty! I have disabled most of the bloatwares even google app and google+.... And i use greenify (Paid version) where i've hibernated all of the installed apps and some of the system apps. Still i had to face this severe battery drain. Is it the problem with new update? :crying: I had installed pre-rooted 10.7.A.0.222 R2E for Tablet Z LTE. It's crazy! Any suggestions? Or please can anybody confirm this issue? Thanks

you should make cache and dalvik-cache wipe. If it doesn't help install wakelock detector to find an app which generates wakelocks and consumes so much battery.
I usually have -30% while watching movies in 5 hours. Or 2-3% during idle period through the night. So battery life for 10.7.A.0.222 is really good stock, and can be even better if tweaked a bit.
Okay.. I did the wipe cache and dalvik cache... I've to review the battery usage by playing heavy games like modern combat 4 and 5.
Thanks for the suggestion

Android System using 50% of Battery

Hi guys,
I'm having massive problems with my phone. As you can see here, the Android System has used up 50% of my total battery and there is no way I can make it stop.
{I tried inserting images but cannot due to 'new user'. The picture basically says that Android System uses 50% of battery, when phone is at 2% battery and that the CPU on time was just over 8 hours.}
System and Apps are updated to the most recent versions.
I tried
- disabling permissions for all apps (which has led to some follow up problems, and briefly fixed the problem, but it has reappeared now)
- deleting data from Google Play Services
- deleting cached data from system storage
I didn't try factory resetting my phone, since I am hesitant to go through the hassle of backup recovery.
Any input? Might it be possible to further dissect the 'Android System' process with a program somehow, so I can see specifically which request/app is keeping the Android System busy for 8 (!!!!) hours?
This has even affected my charging times, which are now abysmal, because the f*cking process keeps on sucking energy while charging. I also frequently am putting my phone into flight mode during the day, just to extend the lifetime somewhat.
Thank you.

try one of the wakelock detectors in my case a no root one have to set up adb or throught chrome it gives instrucs but it can tell u whats keeping ure device awake
ive noticed facebook syncing locations even aftermarket messangers can do it
id start there also u can try booting into safe mode for a couple days and see if its a rouge 3rd party app if safe mode proves effective try disabling all 3rd party apps and ever 2 hours or so reenable 1 by one and see if one of them are causing it

100% CPU load, battery drain with no app minimized/running in the background

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 S625 global variant (4/64GB).
Like a day or so ago, I noticed a quick battery drain (from 100 to 24% after a whole night idle and 2 - 3 hours of heavy use the next day) and from there it was dropping a percent every 2nd-3rd minute. It never happened before as its a 4000mAh battery and usually lasts around 2 days on normal use. I'm new to the smartphone world and I was reading online about the usual causes of battery drain including background apps consuming it and overcharging issue damaging the battery. I got worried as last night it was indeed left plugged in for like 2 - 3 hours maybe after a full charge. So either the battery is damaged due to overcharging, or its some software issue. Now what I noticed is the CPU usage is maxed with no app running in the background. I don't know if CPU-Z's usage info is accurate, but it's 100% when battery is like 15 or lower and 40-50% when battery is 20 or above. Maybe there's some background process or maybe its normal, I don't know. I'm pretty clueless at this point.
Really appreciate if anyone helped me on this one. Thanks.
Battery will not overcharge, you dont have to worry about that.
Try to factory reset and use the phone without installing any apps, and see if the issue is gone, so you will know 1 of the apps is causing it.
You can also try to use apps like BetterBatteryStats which shows you which app used how much battery/cpu etc. You can also find which app is wakelocking phone.

Thanks. I was also thinking of factory resetting it. What I've noticed is that on low battery, 4 of the cores of SD 625 are switched off. Maybe that's why the load is on other 4 and it's showing 100%. I really have no idea. It would be helpful if anyone suggests good battery usage apps and any app that shows realtime CPU usage of different apps/services in phone. I've tried some but they aren't really helpful. Will try BetterBatteryStats.
I had the same Problem too
I had the same problem a few months back, I reset the phone that day but then the problem came up today again. This time I did some testing and now I think the problem is with CPU-Z itself.
You see when the phone heats up the first time (for whatever reason) the MIUI OS automatically resets all APP settings. So CPU-Z's settings get reset and so it starts reading ALL the sensors again. Which uses a lot of battery and increases CPU load. So whenever you open CPU-Z the battery starts draining again but this time because of CPU-Z too.
And I'm pretty sure some other reasons would be there too for the Battery Drain but CPU-Z sensors reading are quite heavy.
Edit: A quick way to fix it would be to set it to "Restrict Background Activity" mode in MIUI App Battery Saver.
I had the same problem too. I've already uninstall many app, but this problem still occure. I still have no idea to this one.
Anyone can help?
Try this:
1. Settings > installed apps > Duo (or Google Duo)
2. Remove all updates to Google Duo
3. Go to PlayStore > Google Duo > Click the 3 dots (top right) > unclick "Enable auto-update"
My note 4 is cool again and the batteries lasts again.

Don't give me credit please. I read it on an other post here, from a guy that read it, well, on an other post.
But the important thing is that it worked for me, and seems for you too. I keep a close eye on my Note 4 now and so far all is cool (literally).
Thanks for sharing...

I was experiencing exactly the same problem & your solution worked for me... Thanks a lot
Uninstalling the Google Duo update worked for me
Uninstalling the Google Duo update did not fix the issue for me... still draining fast.
I had the same problem, it started probably a few weeks ago, pero it became more noticeable a couple days ago.
It seem it is solving the heating and draining issue for the moment
thanks, i'll keep you posted
