this week i noticed a decrease in my battery life all of a sudden so i installed gsam battery monitor to see what the problem was. before, the top battery suckers would be facebook, browser, text messsging etc. stuff that i use through out the day. this time it was kernel always at the top. 8-10% one time it was at 14%. ive read in the past that kernel should not be at the top and that a simple cache clear would fix it. i did it and it remained the same. i did the foxkatting thing and it remained the same. i did an FDR through privacy and 3 more cache clears and fdrs through recovery and more battery meter training and it's still the same. kernel is the biggest battery drain. i was getting phenomenal battery life and it just gave out all if a sudden. i havent installed any new apps. i am tempted to install the leak 215 but ive had bad luck with it when it comes to battery life. any theories as to why this might have happened?
 
Sometimes doing a couple of FDR's can do the trick. I know that you're not supposed to need to ever do more than one fdr.. but I had to do several, to get rid of this issued... one behind the other...

The reason I got the idea was actually that after doing one fdr, I had an issue with my favorites pull down. I had to do yet another fdr to get that to accept favorites... it had an issue where it would replace a favorite with another, instead of adding the other favorite...

This was after 5 favorites being added...

it also restored my battery performance...

So now that you know the back story, you might try doing a couple of FDR's... it might solve your problem.
 
I did 4. One from settings>privacy then right after that one was done I booted into recovery and cleared chache and FDR 3 more times.
