What's going on with the battery life here?

[Titan206]

Just over 2.5 hrs of SOT before it died, and only 10 hrs off the battery. Not sure what else to do here but hope for improvement with lollipop.

I hate to say it, but I believe battery life is actually worse on lollipop.

There's too many wake ups, your battery life should be double what you are getting, i'm playing with my X all the time it;s only been charged Twice properly it goes into single figures after 24 hours with 4/5 sot.
That 'awake' line should be black when the phone is off.
You need to play hunt the app I;m afraid!

Actually looking at it, it seems the screen is turning on so often that the phone can't sleep, so you have adaptive screen on? Use it it doesn't wake the OS

Yep I have adaptive screen on. Going to test a different town this wknd to see if better signal helps. If not, think this phone is going back. I'm really liking it otherwise.

Poor signal can make a huge difference with the X. It can literally cut my battery life in half.

Hmm that could be it then. I have really bad signal at work.

Try switching air plane mode on when you are at work to see if you are right.

Yep will give that a try. No matter what though, Android OS process seems to just take up a lot of the battery. Any ideas what that could possibly be? I suppose it can be anything... Wake locks of some sort?

Thanks guys!

BTW one thing I did is unchecked all the remote wipe and tracking stuff from Google Settings. It seems to have helped some of the longevity, and Android OS no longer drains as much battery.

So here are some shots taken just moments ago, no WiFi this time.

I work from home and am usually on WiFi most of the day. So I decided to turn WiFi off and go LTE all day. I was at home as well as away from home today, as you can see in the antenna signal bar.

* 16 hrs (4% remaining) - All LTE
* near 3 hrs SOT (mainly lowest bri)
* Poor to ok reception
* 1.25 hrs voice calls
* 16 hrs Bluetooth on (paired to 360)
* ~1 hr GPS on high accuracy
* 1.25 hr online music (screen mainly off)
* WhatsApp, hangouts
* 5 gmails 1 yahoo syncing
* not rooted, but still using Greenify to hibernate some wacky apps
* (Verizon)
