Very well, just thought that might be the source since it installs a new system UI. Thanks!
I'm also having issues with Android System and Android OS. I reverted back to an earlier version of Good Lock and that seems to have quelled the System UI problems, but a factory reset hasn't helped the others. I've tried researching a few of what I presume to be the offenders after installing WakeLock Detector Lite, but haven't made any progress there.
I was able to fix my battery drain by turning off ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER in the security settings and disabling GOOGLE APP (Google Now). Phone sleeps like a baby now :good:
My issue seems to have gotten better after turning off advanced calling (VOLTE). There have also been a couple of updates to the "Good Lock" systemui the past few days which may have helped. Not sure which did it, but for now the battery drain has returned to near normal.
New update with September security patch. Hopefully this fixed the drain.

Just fyi of my experience - I had the 9-20 update for about one week with no problems at all. Suddenly with no unusual usage by me, the battery just started dropping like a rock. I cleared cache for the first time ever on this phone and tried changing a few other settings, but the problem persisted. But after about 24 hours, it just seemed to go away on its own. The last couple things I tried was enabling some AT&T apps I had disabled and turning off Enhanced LTE Service. Since the drain stopped, I've since re-enabled Enhanced LTE Service and re-disabled most of the AT&T apps with no problem so far. I was planning a factory reset if it lasted more than a day or two, but for now seems like it was just a temporary drain.

Same battery drain problem here. After the latest Sept OTA, Wakelock detector is showing a wakelock called diagnostics.client.wakelock (found under android system). it appears that at&t has reinstated that carrier iq rootkit/spyware nonsense and it is draining our batteries. There doesn't appear to be anyway to disable it without root so looks like we are stuck with it. Package disabler doesn't offer the option of disabling it.

You are able to disable Carrier IQ with EZ DISABLER. See how Here
@tibere86 - thank you so much for pointing us to ez disabler. i was able to successfully disable carrier iq with it. Do you happen to also know how to eliminate or minimize the net_scheduler wakelock? That was the only other wakelock that was introduced with the recent OTAs.

I am not sure. I will do some XDA searching later on it.
How do you get all OTAs?
Every time I check it says I have the latest version installed. I got tired of waiting and installed PG1 using Odin.

Check smart switch on a PC, maybe you can get updates there.

I found another source of battery drain in the WiFi Calling/Advanced Messaging Update...
New Facebook processes.
After tracing the network traffic I saw that my phone was connecting to Facebook for software updates- despite previously disabling Facebook. The main Facebook app was disabled, but two new tasks Facebook App Updater <sic> and another FB process (both now gone so I don't have the exact names). Disabling both of these new processes has stopped the excessive Cell Standby, Android OS, and Android System drain.
Hope this helps someone. I was two clicks away from a new Pixel on Project Fi before I found this fix!

goto settings -> mobile network -> mobile data and turn off enhanced lte service (i.e. VoIP). I have been able minimize the IMS wakelock by doing so. good luck!

I think it just needed a few more bars of service. I plugged in my microcell and the wifi calling activated after my cell reception went up.1
This is the first phone I'm not using root on, and I can't say I'm missing it.
The only 2 things I really liked root for was TiBu and AdAway.
