Help Android System & OS battery usage

[Smokey Joe]

Does anyone know why "Android System" and "Android OS" are taking up 35% of my battery usage(on average)? Screen uses about 18%-20& which I expected. Thanks!

Many threads on this exact subject

but you must be aware that those percentages have to be viewed "in context" with how the phone has been used since the last charge cycle.

What you are saying is normal most of the time unless you spend a lot of time on apps that are using a lot of data.

Those two features are the brains of the phone... if they weren't there, you would not have a phone

I understand all of that but, this is completely different than the S4 usage is why I ask... On my S4, the only thing that was the same is the screen usage. Now, don't take this thread the wrong way, I am getting great battery life up to this point(15-20 hours off the charger!) but I was just curious more than anything. Thanks!

I have some screenshots somewhere, will try to find them of similar appearances...

You have to view all of them in context with what is going on. I have named them relative to what was happening at the time.
