Lot of Android ROMs (Stock, Rooted, CM7, MIUI) across manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung) has a bug in which "Android OS" in "Battery Use" option draining a large percent of battery!

Reference (just one is enough): Click here!

How to check if you are affected:
1. "Battery Use" will show "Android OS" very high usage (for me, more than display)
2. Use System Panel -> Settings -> Monitoring enabled
After some time idle -> Monitor -> History -> Top Apps (2 hours) -> System Processes -> Click Suspend (and look if suspend has been continuously on while the screen is off)

I started this thread for
1. Get to know how many of Galaxy SL owners are facing this issue..
2. Suggest solutions
3. Get solutions (Those who do not have drain, PLEASE post your ROM/version/tweaks etc)

So please vote in the poll of this thread!

For me, any Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Rooted) causes this issue.

Final update:
I have isolated the bug to
1. Google backup transport
2. Organizer widget

I have removed them both, and now my standby drain is as low as 2-6 mA!

Also, I have re-enabled background data and the drain has not come back, so it is excluded.


== Old ideas below =====

The solutions I have googled so far is (and trying one by one):
1. Reboot (or connect to charger and disconnect) - Temporary solution.
2. Delay setup of Google account (do not add during setup)
3. Remove "Samsung sync" in samsung apps
4. Remove account backup/restore in "Privacy" options
5. Uncheck background data
6. Install Juicedefender - Not useful
7. Remove "Google Backup Transport" via Titanium Backup [my fix]

Edit: For me fix # 5 + 7 fixes drain on XXKPQ (Skin's root)
Please test and report!

sorry, didn't see the poll before :p

I don't remember seeing this issue on customized kpq or kph, but I am seeing it on cm7. I'm testing something right now so I can't test anything else you mentioned...

Those of you who do not have the bug, PLEASE be kind enough to post which ROM/Tweaks you are using for the benefit of the community, so that we can isolate the ROMs having least battery drain!!

I never had issues on froyo or stock GB, nor on cranium 3.1 (kph) or cranium 5.1 (kpq). I only had it on cm7. thanks to this thread, I discovered I forgot to uncheck background data, and just to be sure, I also deleted the backup transport. I then recharged my phone and reset it to clear the current stats. my stats at the moment are:

95% battery remaning after 4 hours

39% used by cell standby (1.95%)
30% used by android OS (1.5%)
16% used by phone idle (0.8%)
9% used by display (0.45%)
5% used by voice calls (0.25%)
3% used by andrpid system (0.15%)

so OS is still being a hog at the moment.

because it drains your battery!! and data restore does not work for many people, including me, so it is just a waste of battery.

Google backup feature doesn't work for me either. Used other apps like MyBackPro for contacts and sms and Titanim for apps.
Anyway I deleted google backup transport. will update the feedback soon.
thanks!
