There is a problem in every 2.3.5 ROMs (I tested everyone of them...even gingerdx v13).
The problem is due to "google maps" app...
If the app isn't freezed (by titanium) or unistalled, the problem persist.
The problem starts when open "maps". After that, some processes of "maps" start to drain battery....the only thing to do in order to temporally solve this problem, is reboot the phone.
I don't know if is in the app itself or in the way that the ROMs manage it...but It's present and It's a major and annoing bug.
Please try to solve it.
A smartphone with android and gps is useless without maps! ^^
But old gingerbread roms had not this problem, im wondering why it occcurs now.

I don't know...I had froyo ROMs before...no problems with maps!
yup even i am having huge battery drains on the gingerdx rom...
i tried freezing a lot of apps, but was not able to narrow down the causative app..
I figured out that i get a lot of wakelocks by time service
MauriF , how did u figure app that google maps was causing the drain?
I don't have battery drain problems (never had since I logged out of Latitude).
I also tested EVERY rom posted (froyo and gingerbread) and they all had similar battery duration, and no unexplained drains...
Im on ginger dx v13, I found if you listen to music and then stop the music player, some services are still running and it kills your battery so I just reboot the fone and its fine, I also froze dps manager and google maps. If you read the origanal topic on ginger dx it tells that the music player drains your battery. People must except that there will be bugs.

The music player bug IS a bug.
The maps problem isn't. Yes Maps drains the battery but its because you have done one of the following:
Have GPS on
Have enabled an app to see your location: could be browser, latitude, search etc
Have turned on 'My Location' in Settings -> Locaton and Security
Have allowed maps to cache in background: check by opening maps -> more -> cache settings
Android needs to open apps to all of these things, its not the ROM as far as i can see.
Sorted it out for me on GingerDx v11
x drsood,
Using Titanium i freezed maps = no battery drain
enabling it = battery drain (I mean 3% each 5 minutes)
...even if the app is not started.
maybe the problem is one that Dan is saying! I need to check..
x Dan,
I charge battery than I'll check! Thank You very much!!

i have the "maps" as well as "dsp manager" frozen...still i have this battery drain...i know its not a rom problem coz many have reported that they hav excellent battery life, but i cant figure out the app causing all these drains
unistalled "maps 5.9.0" (always some services active...huge battery drain), installed "maps 5.0" (no services active!)
Now I test battery again!
Yeah that's exactly i want to say Maps drain battery so much only 3 hours my phone use up all !
mmm...it's not only maps....
this night in 7h mt battery is at 41% :-/
Check whats running services then. Settings -> Applications -> Running Services
Will probably tell us your problem

i dont have maps but stiil battery drain
and minicm6 (2.2.9) only drains around 7% battery during night
Thank you for usefull info.
I unistalled maps and now my battery last 3 times more. I was impressed.
I found that, using D4Kernal, the battery life extends quite a bit. I got a whole 24 hours out of the phone yesterday which is a first.
just a suggestion
In my experience excessive battery drain can be caused by 3 causes:
1)Apps running in background
Some apps consume more battery than others. the best way to see in my experience is install apps atleast 12H apart so that you can tell which app is causing drain. Google maps process does run forever in background. To stop pit, Go to settings--> applications-->manage applications-->(click on Maps APP)-->click Force Stop. This has to be done everytime you reboot your phone. For a permanent thing, try freezing in Titanium
2)Battery callibration:
While Li-Poly batteries like the BST38 in the x10 minipro dont need full depth charging, the battery measurement needs it.
Try this(need root)
Charge phone to 100%
(Install "Battery callibration" app from Market and click "Callibrate battery")
OR
(Boot into CM Recovery and erase Battery stats)
Once Battery is 100% charged, unplug and discharge to 0%(If you dont have patience for this turn on google maps with GPS, turn on Wifi and play music on your loudspeaker. My battery drained in 1.5 hrs with this usage )
Once Battery is discharged to 0(i.e phone shuts off), Recharge to 100% and use as normal.
After doing this I get around 70+ Hrs of standby in GingerDX v013. This process NEEDS to be done everytime you install a new custom ROM.
3)Ruined Battery:
If you have too much drain in ALL ROM's...including the stock ROM, OR, none of the above steps work,then the battery is probably faulty. There's nothing you can do about it but get a new one
All the best!
EDIT:
4) Network signal strength:
If the signal strength by the service provider is low, your phone will try to amplify it to achieve higher clarity. Unfortuntely this consumes higher power. Your body also absorbs some radiation hence requiring even higher amplification. My recommendation is unless you are moving around, keep your cell outside (On your desk or something). You'll get slightly better signal strength plus if some studies are to be believed you'll be more fertile and smarter and your heart will be healthier too
Hey,is it makin any big difference btween stock and D4's Kernel?

Get 'CpuSpy'
and check if your phone goes into deep sleep.
Also try this, Everytime instead of locking your screen, put the phone to sleep mode (I like doing this thru notification power control widget)
I notice that after update GP Service to 5.0.84 I have bigger battery drain. Anyone else have this problem too? Maybe it's because you can use "OK, Google" hotword everywhere?
I have massive drain too.. Is not GoogleNow because I don't have it installed..
I've turned off location report and history, removed and reinstalled PlayService, wiped cache and dalvik, tried with ART runtime too, re-logged in with Google account and other things..
No active sync, GPS off, nfc off etc..
But other friends with same ROM - Nexus 5 Cm11 M7 stock CM kernel - don't have this problem..
Mumble mumble...
I get the new google services 5.0.84 these days and hoped, that the akku drain is gone, but its not.
When I use the services I need, akku drain of google service goes up to 70 percent and more.
I want to use everything, but without akkudrain.
Normaly the screen was the biggest user of akku, thats normal, but I dont think, that is normal at google services.
My phone is a sony xperia zr with android 4.4.2.
Greetings Lemmi.
my drain screenshotted
I use greenify for aprox. more than a month. I have a Moto G (2014) with lollipop (official). Greenify worked like a charm until today when my phones battery without use drained in 5 hours. I open tje battery stats and 40% went to greenify for some reason. I recharged the phone and it continues to drain. Also i mentioned that it used a big amount of mobile data (80mb). Phone is not rooted and use auto hidernation.
Thanks in advance
do you install the xposed framework ?

As the other poster asked, have you installed Xposed or not? If so, which version, Kitkat or Lollipop?
Reg high battery usage, if you have greenified something which ought not to be greenified, the app will continuously try to run and Greenify will continuously try to hibernate it. Check.
Reg data usage, the Dev has stated in another thread that Google Analytics eats the data which Google has not solved yet. He has advised opting out of Google Analytics from the 'about' section of Greenify.
I haven't installed xposed (its not even rooted). Since i first installed greenify never greenified any extra app so i dont get it as nothing changed. And about data yes i saw the post and disabled the feature.
Ok so after the Lollipop update my battery life has been less than stellar. On kit kat i would usually have around 40% battery life left at the end of a day with medium use but now with lollipop I'm ending the day closer to 15% with the same use. This is usually with between 2 and 3 hours SOT. The only thing I've noticed that is any different is google services seems to be using more battery than normal, not a ton but more. Also i cant seem to get it to go into low battery use in location setting, it always stays on high battery use even when in battery savings mode. Anyone with thoughts on this?
Have you tried using greenify? It stops apps from refreshing in the background and if you buy the pro version you can stop system apps from refreshing. You may want to try this xposed module it will go and save major battery. I personally am on barepop (I uninstalled some extra apps though) and have both apps running in the background and I it takes about 10 minuates for the battery to die by even 1%. By the time I wake up and use my phone with heavy use all day long (6am-4pm est) I get home without about 60-65% of battery. You may also want to turn things off when your not using them such as data/nfc and bluetooth.

I am not rooted and am trying to stay that way, at least for a while. I do have greenify but only the free version so it is kind of limited. I haven't found any wakelock detectors that work without root so i cant get any real specifics on whats causing the drain. I just find it strange that google services will not go into low battery mode.
Try this guide it should allow you to stop apps from running in the background:http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2trjxf/xpost_rlgg3_the_g3_has_a_hidden_nonroot

thanks, ill look into it
OK Best of luck.
Nothing in there for anything related to Google services. I don't know why it wont go into low battery usage, i checked all my Google settings and still cant figure it out.
Ok, well today i decided to just uninstall updates for google services, reboot, install the updates, and reboot again. And after dealing with the phone telling me there was no sim card twice, everything seemed to go back to normal, no more high battery usage from google services.
HI to all.......
i recently bought a lenovo K920 vibe z2 pro that i fully modded with lots of xposed modules.
This is my first attempt to mod an android phone, my first root, but i readed A LOT OF pages during years.......
But, hey let me know if i installed the best app used to check my battery drain. My lenovo seems to be quite power hungry also in indle mode........ and i precise that cpuSPY app read normal deep sleep times, like 80%, 90%....
i uninstalled system built in app ( lenovo) , that did have some strange low consuption modes..... because i only wanna use "regular" method to preserve my battery life, and not the built in od my phone
so then i installed:
WakelockDetector and seems to be quite good but i can't fully understand the differences between partial wl, screen, cpu.... wakeup triggers.... english is not my native language( i'm italian) but i think it' is more a (missed) skill problem....
battery stats plus but interface is not completely clear to me.....
betterBattery stats but it does not work!!! why? i found an xposed module that is supposed to make it working but it only shows semy information, not completed. the app is inusable. could you help me?
..................and in the end, what's the best app to use?
i think that wakelock detector interface is the best one, with nice interface and you can see how many times ( Xnnnn) a wakelock is attempting to disturb battery life.
i will hear yor suggestions, did i miss other good apps? Ah i installed greenify DONATION (i paid) but i still don't setted the app, i firtly want to understand 100% what and how to do things...... how could i choose the best app to "greenify" ? . i read that it's not advisable to freeze lots of apps.....but just some. ok but which? is there a simple list of apps that are 100% SURE to be frozen?
ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING
my smartphone battery arrived with about 0 / 3% battery life ( i i know that lithium should not be stored for much time empty...but i supposed it was a fresh stock, so no damaged battery)
could this be the reason for my bad battery life( it does also go down very fast in my opinion, not only idle but when i use apps.....)? ...too bad i can't change it, it's integrated.
i bought 2 lenovo k920... one for me and the other for a friend. His battery life seems to be BETTER THAN MINE:......... and he uses whatsapp and facebook. ( his battery arrived charged to 40% when i received the smartphone)
i don't use facebook but use whatsapp, have a MIBAND connected and i use pushbulled and WEBwhatsapp.
Check out "Amplify" on the play store. It is the best on my opinion. It will give you control over all wake lock's and alarms. Pared with "greenify" automatically hibernating background apps after use gives great battery savings. There is also alot of information regarding both online. I hope this helps!
