What is 'OS services' and why's it using half a gig

[ericmazariegos]

Seriously? Battery life has been sucking lately too. What's going on here???? Anyone have this issue?

That's RAM usage, so I wouldn't be too surprised that the OS is using a chunk like that.

Actually it's data usage, I'm using the Data Manager App

Note 4 battery life is terrible but I know it's 100% software related. I just wish I could figure out what :-/

Oh, whoops! My mistake. You could try turning off Location History.

It might be helpful to see some battery stats. Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:

1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).
