Android system battery drain My android phone has heavy abnormal battery drains coming from Android system. 2000mAh and above on a single charge! I know for certain this is a software issue and not hardware.

Before I hit the sack. Battery was around 96%, next morning 80%! Normal overnight drains on my mobile model is 1-2%, I am having around 15%.


During sleep, All my radios are usually off (WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Data, location), except phone.
My phone seems to be in deep sleep a good portion of that time (See WLD statistics - attachment #1).
Android system sucks my battery during sleep and it was at 90% relative consumption when I woke up (See screen shot #1, Android sys has consumed 1840mAh in such a short time span!! This is ridiculously high for a phone that is apparently in Deep Sleep!)
Also attached screen shots from WLD for Summary, Kernal / Partial wakelocks &amp; Alarms.
Device is rooted.
Google sync is off, Backup is off.


I have searched all over. Read numerous threads from numerous forums. Some users have faced this issue on the same ROM while some others haven't. I have done my "homework". But this is one issue that I do not see any solutions wherever I look. I have searched days, not hours!!

Hence I decided to post over here. This is my hail mary attempt at solving this. If the experts here can't solve it, then I guess it would be pointless to search anymore.

What is the issue that is causing this battery drain from Android System?
I have noted that many users using my model (Huawei Mate 8) do not face this issue, while some users do face it.
Disabling automatic app updates has, for me, solved a severe battery drain problem that started a few days ago. Huawei P9.

For me Google Play Services and AndroidOS were the top users of battery.
