So we have two apps in battery drain... First is a game Royal Revolt 2 that is a tower defense 3D game that run 42minutes (not in a row) and Android system that also run for 40minutes...so both of them drain about 10% of battery... How this is possible I mean the Android system drain the same amount of battery as a 3D game?

Do you still get the Android system drain if you don't play the game?

I get about 40minutes drain on 12Hours usage (not SOT) and according to GSAM biggets drainers on Android System is ActivityManager-Launch and ConnectivityService...but im not wondering about the drain of AndroidSystem only why it drains so much as a 3D game!

I had a similar problem but I seemed to have fixed it. I am currently on Omni Rom latest nightly, installed Franco Kernel, and installed Greenify to hibernate apps that cause wake locks and run in the background continuously. Since I have done these 2 things my battery life has been much much better. Before I would be lucky to make it 8-9 hours on a single charge. Now im averaging 14+ hours. Still not amazing but better. Give these two things a try.

I have been using My phone all day so far mainly to listen to music

Android System is only 7%

Compared to the other apps I have been using all day I don't think 7% is bad so 10% may be normal. However this is over a 7 hour period.

not all games. some need less, some need more, and some games are more optimized than others. my androis system usually takes ftom 8-14% battery, and i still get 5+ hours sot.

Many things can make Android System drain go up, it's not just one process. I believe Widgets battery drain shows up here as well. How many widgets are being used and how often are they updating?

hmmm....maybe your right...if we add all the features that drain with android system and think that revolt isn't such a heavy game it make sense that they drain the same for a specific time...
