Root Any advice? (Screenshot)

I read in another thread that it's inaccurate. There are a bunch of other things involved but the system doesn't recognize all of them so it just lumps it all onto the keyboard. I can't say for sure but I use swiftkey also. I don't notice any difference in battery drainage from other keyboards in spite of what that meter says.
 
No!

The battery usage only shows what percentage of total APP drain is in the past few minutes....

Say APPS are using a total of 10% of your battery.

Of this it shows swiftkey using 60-70% because it was the latest and most used app..so in reality it's used 0.06% battery total drain over the past five minutes.

On any android device there are three main drains...

Cell standby service (keeping in touch with the towers)
Display (brighter drains faster)
CPU

These three things are over half of your total consumption.

Wanna test this theory?

Take two identical phones, one that is in service, one that isn't.

Set the CPU on the in service one at stock, brightness at 100 and don't mess with network settings.

On the disconnected device set CPU to 1/2 and brightness at auto or 50%.
Delete the network interface application (will put name up later) to disable antennas. You can hit airplane mode but this is more accurate.

Leave both phones alone for a few hours a d check the battery level and stats.

Leave them alone and check back ina couple more hours...

Go scientific process!
 
yeah the graph %'s mean it's consuming the MOST but looking at that picture that seems decent for 6 hours with data enabled.. DATA is and always will be the biggest battery consumer!!! try turning it off when possible..
 
Ok look at this. I have an app called ZDbox with some nifty little tools in it. It has a battery saver which I don't use because it likes to turn my stuff off while I'm actually using my phone. It does give me what I feel to be fairly accurate battery stats, unlike this bogus crap. I will show you the difference.

The ones from ZDBOX are probably pretty accurate. I did take quite a few screen shots today & I have used my computer more for most stuff except some light texting & looking a few things up. No way did I use the keyboard that much.
 
I have a wifi switcher offer when I haven't used it for 3 minutes but I forgot to reset it when I put the new theme on. I just realized that when I was looking at my post. SMH
