Hi,

I've been following this thread and read some great information. I've been getting decent battery life (I do have an extended battery) but I think it could be better. Before I post a log was hoping someone could answer a question - I keep seeing recommendation to change launchers. Is there a list of better launchers to use or maybe ones to not use? I am using Nova Prime.

Thanks!

Guys... I'm having this from android process:

Intent: android.net.ConnectivityService.action.PKT_CNT_SAM PLE_INTERVAL_ELAPSED

I got 92 wakeups from this in my latest 21h dump.

Is that a normal alarm caused by data connectivity?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Yes, can be considered as normal.

It's just one event every 15 minutes, search this thread for pkt_cnt and you should find closer Infos, regards.

3 Hours is not much of a time. You should leave it alone overnight. Next time turn on the Root Features under Settings > advanced. Also turn off Google Location Reporting and reboot.

Upper right corner, you will see the Share button that looks like "<". Please rebot the phone and leave it alone overnight connected to wireless. In the morning, hit this button and get the Text Dump. It will be residing in /sdcard root folder. That's the internal sd card. Attach that log to a post here.

Please use a lightweight launcher such as Zeam or Apex without any of its addons, widgets or any plugins.
[BetterBatteryStats] andee39:
Will look into those. Thanks!

Hey guys. I recently changed roms and kernel in my Galaxy note 3 and I have a ton of wakelocks. So I was able to get a 4 hour idle log. Hopefully someone can help me out with it. I do have location services off too. And in the 4 hours I lost 7 percent.

Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] paradoxiumwind:
It worked again once without me doing anything special, but now I'm getting the same with no stats showing. Is it my ROM/Kernel?
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
Guys that do you suggest to do when you can't find no evidence of battery usage from BBS?

My problem only happens while on 2G/3G/4G data (not on Wi-fi!) This happened many times: when I install a clear ROM (restoring the same apps/system settings) the idling times are pretty awesome (less than 1%/h usally) with sync on and everything. After a few weeks this stops and the drain on data raises to 2-5%/h!! I've made many tests of course at the same spot/same settings but I couldn't find ANYTHING that could give me a clue. The only difference I see is that in the OS battery stats I see that "Android OS" has a significantly higher "keep awake" time than when the drain is OK but then again when I go analyze BBS stats the wakelocks are actually higher when the drain is lower :confused::confused: So if it's not something trackable by BBS or caused by an app what the hell can it be? It seems strictly related the hardware/radio. Another thing that seems to be consistent is deep times, the lower it is the higher the drain (as it should) but I don't see the cause!

I only have these two logs of the same configuration logged weeks apart, unfortunately one is 8h long and the other is 3h (and not from 100% but I can assure the drain is actually that high even from 100%, I did many test to confirm this, even 1h is enough) and as you can read I see no difference in terms of network usage, CPU or walelocks :|

Maybe I need something that checks the actual voltage usage in mW but then again if it's not app how can I track it?
[BetterBatteryStats] matraca:
Can someone take a look please. I was lossing about 3 percent overnight and did the google play services and services framework mod. And updated kernel and now I am having all this wakelocks, don't know if it is kernel related or due to the google mods.

First page has all the information you need. You need to explore the app to figure of what's keeping your phone awake. Particularly look at Partial Wake locks and Alarms.

Turn off Gmail Sync. You have a noisy Wireless network. So issue a static IP to your Phone on your router. Reboot and post a new log. More suggestions later.

The only thing I can see is facebook going ape.
[BetterBatteryStats] matraca:
thank you, I will search how to set an static IP.
[BetterBatteryStats] paradoxiumwind:
The stats appeared again for a while:

And now I'm not getting anything again:
[BetterBatteryStats] mj_godam:
okay i have done what you said before

i use touchwiz as the launcher, uninstall facebook form the phone, and turned off location service

and here is the result

how is it? is it good or there is still something that needed to be changed to improve my battery life?
[BetterBatteryStats] reksden:
he replaces the usual statistics, or complements it?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Your main issue is fast dormancy together with intercommunication between the modem and the android part if your device (L2_hsic), I recommend to turn off fd if possible, there are thread/apps which claims to do the trick for you, good luck.

Edit: did some reading on noisy wireless networks and come to find out that my TV might be the reason, or maybe to many gadgets connected to the network. Disconected the TV from the network and will see if that fixes it.
[BetterBatteryStats] lalec:
Are you sure your Wi-Fi was off? There are several references to it in your log.
[BetterBatteryStats] kiiiiiid:
Yes absolutely.

The whole time it was off.

I don't know why it keep saying that wifi is working all the time that phone is on.
[BetterBatteryStats] BigLisy:
I tried to get a hold of this app, but I'm really just too much of a beginner. My concern is reading around that polling with a too little time interval drains memory.

So I'll ask here, would the effect of Power Toggles battery polling (to 1 or 2 minutes) cause any visible change in battery life? Would it be better to have it run on a service, with no polling?

(I'm on a Nexus 5)
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
Your log looks much better. Just beat down on that chatty wireless. You are on absolutely right track with identifying the chatty item.

?????? Huh ? I am sorry I can not make any sense of this.
[BetterBatteryStats] BigLisy:
Basically, generally, is battery polling on a 1-2 min interval something heavy on battery? Same question about instant battery polling through a service.

I unchecked "wifi always scanning" under advance menu in wifi settings. Hope it works.

Hi there. Nexus 5 owner here running the stock rooted ROM. I've been trying to hunt down wakelocks on my phone in hopes of getting the most out of my phone battery. I have the BBS dump file for a typical weekday of use for me. Usage includes about an hour of streaming music, a lot of browsing reddit, texting and moderate usage of social media apps. If someone could take a look and see what I can improve, that'd be great! I am greenifying most of my applications. GPS is set to high accuracy. Location history and reporting are both off. I also have wakelock terminator actively preventing NetworkLocationLocator, NlpCollectorWakeLock and NlpWakeLock. I'd like to eek out 5 hours or more of SOT on this device!

This is great. Just remove Dashclock widget and Deskclock plus app. use Android's normal clock for alarms. BTW i-phones are second biggest source of chatter. Probably due to their appletalk protocol.

Re-Link your post and please use clear English.

You should enable Root features of BBS from under Settings > Advanced. Reboot afterwards.

Loose Google+, facebook, 3G Watchdog pro and then reboot.

Turn off Google Location Reporting, Kill Media Server and loose Battery Saver.

Are Kernel Wakelocks Always "% of time on battery"?

I'm using v1.15 on my Nexus 4. It seems like the percentage for Kernel Wakelocks is always relative to time on battery, rather than time awake, regardless of the setting for "Wakelock pct of".

Is that the expected behavior?

Also, I noticed when the Parial Wakelock view is showing Unplugged -> Custom, it shows the percentage for the setting at the time the custom ref was created, rather than the current setting.

Is that also expected?

[MENTION=1330150]chamonix[/MENTION] and others can you please help me with my battery drain.

Here is my log. Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] BigLisy:
Are these stats ok? I'm a total beginner, but I think Aqua Mail netting all those wakelocks is pretty bad. It uses one gmail account on Push, nothing else.

Does AudioMix take into account both sounds and vibrations?

How can I improve? Not satisfied with the battery life of my Nexus 5.
[BetterBatteryStats] mdamaged:
TBH, you're about as good as you're going to get, maybe if you remove automatic updates globally in play store, and maybe disable some syncs in google sync, and disable google now and hotword detection, you might be able to squeeze more out, but probably not enough to justify the functionality you'd loose (assuming you put those to use).
[BetterBatteryStats] BigLisy:
I have disabled auto updates, syncs, google now and hotword detection already. Does the log show otherwise? I'm puzzled :D

But my doubt is, are those mail stats regular? I don't think I grasp the meaning of wakelock too well, other than "waking" my phone, hence draining battery. And Aqua Mail seems to cause a lot of that.
[BetterBatteryStats] mdamaged:
Well the log time is only 2 hours long, so my suggestions were mostly based on assumptions. You could try out a different mail client like K-9 and use pulling. I never used Aquamail so I'm not sure how it does it's thing. Not sure if K-9 will result in any improvement in battery life in your case, but if you want to try something that'd be something to try. K-9 is also highly regarded.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Hmm, I see the awake time but I don't see a clear reason, I would recommend to disable the playstore auto updates and decrease your overall sync activity, this BlackBerry mail looks bad, do you need it for company email?

Furthermore you had a call and some screen activity, post a straight idle dump after finishing your homework :D

Ditch=uninstall. Uninstall Facebook, change from yahoo mail to a better mail client, like K-9, and you have utorrent pro running sucking up bandwidth and keeping your wifi awake, get rid of it.
[BetterBatteryStats] ayoubij:
Hmm ok will try to post a better dump tomorrow.

This isnt blackberry mail, its the BBM messenger from playstore, for chatting but the thing is it doesnt use GCM to push the messages and it is always running in the background. I guess there is no way around that right?

Im using the stock email app that comes with the samsung rom, i have 2 emails on it configured as IMAP and to sync every 4 hours. I dont receive much emails per day on these 2 emails so is it better to use PUSH instead of sync each 4 hours?

This is because my main email is the gmail.

Thanks for your help.

--> ok sir i will uninstall fb,yahoo and torrent, and i will use your suggestion on K9 email client, and what can you advise sir on alternative torrent apps which is better and battery friendly??? Thankyou!
[BetterBatteryStats] mdamaged:
I'm afraid I have no battery-friendly torrent replacements to suggest to you, by their nature they are pretty much anti-battery. I can only suggest you run your torrent software on a PC. Or, if you do not need utorrent running 24/7 use tasker to kill it off and on on a schedule if manually shutting it down and restarting it is too much trouble, I'm not really sure the purpose of running a utorrent client on a mobile device to begin with, but it is not for me to judge, so only you can choose what you want, better battery life, or utorrent client on your mobile device.
[BetterBatteryStats] kai_15:
--> ok sir i will uninstalled , by the way sir, torrent still running in the background even if i choose shutdown button and untick the wifi as connection that cause a report on bbs log???
[BetterBatteryStats] mdamaged:
Not sure what you mean, do you mean that when you force stop it, it's still running? or do you mean that when you force close it, that you expect the entry in BBS to disappear?

If the first one, then I can't say for sure, but I'd probably uninstall that app, as it sounds broken, either on purpose (restarts itself, possibly has a service entry) or accident (not sure how this could happen but I'm trying to be fair), either way I would not want it on my device.

If you mean the second thing, then the entry will remain until you set a new custom reference point, or set it in the charger for a second or two then remove it, if you're insistent on keeping utorrent installed, I might suggest you install autostarts and see if utorrent is starting on boot, then I'd terminate that entry so it will not start up until you specifically start it.
[BetterBatteryStats] noles4life50:

The log would be more useful if you could leave the phone alone overnight. Preferably connected to stable Wi-Fi so those pesky tower issues don't keep your phone awake.

Push is good. Give it a try.

Viber, Your Email and Go Launcher won't let your phone sleep. Please turn off notifications within viber if possible. Change your email to Push or to a different client also switch to less frequency. Change to Apex Launcher instead. Remove the Advanced Clock Widget and beautiful widgets. Turn off Gmail sync. Do you have Hangouts running ? If so can you sign out ?

Have you turned off Fast Dormancy ? If not please do so. Also remove any Kernel mods, tweaks, scripts that may be tweaking CPU.

Dear all,

Excuse me if I'm asking a stupid question, I've tried searching this forum and internet for answers, and didn't really find a clue on where to start.

I first want to tryout betterbatterystats to see if it something for me before I pay on the google play store.

Unfortunately I get an error tryin to install: "App not installed".

- double click apk

- allow the securiy/privay entries

- it seems to be installing

- the it prompts "App not installed"

Running Cynogenmod 11-20140218-nightly-umts_spyder on motorola razr maxx xt910. android os 4.4.2

options un der the developper menu has been set:

- install from "neplocaties" (fake locations) ON

- usb error reporting service ON

When researching the problem I found lots of info about changing the manifest file, ...

but I do not suppose this is something that everyone here had to do before installing.

Or is this only the case when using the non google store version?

Other info I can give is that the app had never been installed before, so I suppose no cleanup is needed to be done.

If there is any other info required please don't hesitate to ask, so I search it up and provide.

Thanks.
