If anyone else is seeing the Android kernel battery drain on gsam I found this recommendation on another site and wanted to pass it along.. I just made these modifications and will report back later to let you know if mine changed any...
"Follow your recommendations on this thread I installed GSam and found Android Kernal was accounting for 60% battery drain. After a bit of digging around on forums Google is indicated to possibly to be the culprit. Therefore I went to google settings via the app and done the following;
Connected apps > disconnected all apps bar mail. This seems to have no negative effects
Location > Turn OFF location reporting. Google play service + low battery use (not sure what this is)
Search and Now > Google now turned OFF, Phone search = no change,
Search and Now > voice> OK Google hotword detection > Turn off (think the phone is always listening for a voice command.
Since doing this last night I can report;
7hrs of phone sleep/standby and only 1-2% battery drain total
8hrs moderate use today and I'm on 71% remaining (massive increase before the changes. That includes out in the fields in low signal areas (I'm a farmer).
Sorry for the essey, hope this helps someone"
