I force stop these two services and also disabled the other two(ant+ and ant services),cleared cache partition..the time will tell us if is something good with these services disabled.

My phone still hasn't died since I did so. This is how my phone currently is right now

Just disabled the +ANT services, will report back if there is any change.

This is what my phone ended up getting without having to be plugged in. It has to be the longest time I've ever seen for standby

Where do I look to see standby time?

I don't know how are your phones, but from 100%to 90% i have only 30min SOT with everything disabled and brightness set to 20% useing only internet browser.

Standby is something like your total time unplugged less your SoT.

It seems completely normal to me, mine will do the same if I just use Internet browser and Chrome is a little worst.

BUT, 10% on 30 minutes of SoT is averaging 5 hours of SoT, and that my friend is pretty good. Even better if that's just using the Internet that normally is a consistent battery drainer with its white pages and always using your cell or wifi radios.

Exactly. Sorry if I didn't explain correctly. I'm used to going to bed at night and having my phone battery drop 20% so having over 20 hours off the charger is phenomenal. Especially with the fact that over five of those hours were screen on time

 

[cristy7610]

In standby I have very good values...1-2% discharge over night(8 h).
Thanks again erasat for your reply.If you said that is ok I will let like this

I lost 19% overnight after fully charging my phone. Woke up at 81%. Awful.

Try the recent hint Erasat posted. It almost eliminated my overnight battery drain. I too was losing 20% battery when I was sleeping but last night I only lost 5-10 in eight or so hours

This is just my experience. Out of habit from my RIM days, I plug my device in before bed with it turned off, 100% when off the charger at 7am. I realize that most of use smartphones as alarm clocks. My wife plugs her device in at bed time and leaves it on because she uses it as an alarm clock.

I don't know what is happen but my led notification is blinking with red colour when the phone is in standby even if my battery is 50%.I restarded but no effect...

The only reason why the red led blinks is because of low battery or if your Battery level is below what you have set in Power Saving settings, so if you have it to activate Power Saving Mode at 50% once you reach 49% it begins blinking, even with Power saving Mode off.

Go to the Power Saving Mode settings and where it ask you the value to Start power saving select the one you want but obviously way below of what you have right now.

 

[cristy7610]

Erasat,you saved me again.I set power saving to 50% and forget about this detail You can adjust these values if you go in Power Saving Mode and press on Start Power Saving and after that you can chose when you want to start.

This was with airplane mode on and everything turned off because I wasn't in the U.S. and had no wifi or service. Look at the estimated time! Also I had about 1 3/4 hours of screen time.

I tried Erasat's tip, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I disabled 2 ant service, wiped cache, rebooted, force stopped the other two services.
Went to bed, battery at 84%, woke up 7 hours later, battery at 72%.

So, the tip definitely doesn't work for everyone.

What are you talking about? You said before you lost 19% and that is only 12%. That is a difference of 7% that you otherwise wouldn't have had

I didn't say I lost 19%. Someone else said that.
