OK, reporting back, battery life DID improve after turning off the Sony app's wake-up triggers.
Original test: 5 hours, only checking GSAM every hour, resulted in 92% remaining battery.
Non-controlled use: 6 hours, normal use of both screens, resulted in 93% remaining battery.
Other interesting results from my GSAM output right now: the following apps don't use much battery. Note that the following percentages and those omitted add up to 100%, i.e., they represent percentage of all used battery:
- Wakelock Detector Lite: 0.3%
- ES File Explorer: 1.0% (thought this newly bloated app would be using more)
- GSAM Battery Monitor: 1.1% (and that's with opening it several times).
The big battery consumers (~70%) for me right now are:
Screen: 37%
Android System: 17.8%
Kernel (Android OS): 11.8%
Google Services: 3.9%
I'm quite please with the better battery life. Thanks for the posts that pushed me to investigate further.
