I've searched and can't find anything. I've installed multiple apps to help figure it out, but it never gets better. The pics say it all... what the hell is going on? I have flashed multiple ROMs and it never gets better. And yes, I wipe and do a clean install every time. This "event6" thing is killing me. The phone never goes into deep sleep.

I've been having massive battery drain for a few months. I tried task killers, battery doctors, virus checkers and so on. I'm not an expert but I did come across some advice on the Internet about Google Play Music. I tried it and for the last week my battery has at least tripled in performance. The only thing I could ever find that was using lots of juice was the Media Services that's in Battery Settings. Anyway, here is a link to the article and I will tell you after I stopped auto sync on Google Play Music my battery problem is SOLVED. It's been more than a week and it's still good. The only thing you will have to do is manually sync any new music, but that's easy!! Also, after I turned off the Sync function my phone charges faster and doesn't heat up like it used to. I know this is for a Nexus but it solved my issues.
