No truce needed! I was only joking :)

Totally agree! I always suggest that people uninstall BMW once they have things under control. Just reinstall it when you detect a problem or flash a new ROM etc.

BBS doesn't work as a process and therefore doesn't cause this issue. It is safe to keep and use without negative consequence!

I think all devices/ROMS need some of this cooldown period. As to why differences... could be lots of reasons:

- Different kernels

- Different app sync settings

- Different hardware (processors etc)

- Different mobile signal strengths (more battery drain that wake problems)

- etc

Good question... let me know when you find out!

Answered above, calendar app. But it's worth checking everywhere that you can think. E.g. If I receive a meeting invitation from a work exchange account colleague, they normally use the default 15 minute reminder. I manually disbale this before accepting the invitation.

Note - I rarely get invitations for work meetings since I normally don't respond to work related emails, they invariably lead to more work. Work gets in the way of too much stuff in my life and I avoid it like the plague. I also make maximum use of voicemail at work, simply by not answering the phone. Eventually people get the idea and work out that if they want something doing, they should do it themselves. I am unreliable and have a healthy disrespect for colleagues and bosses alike.

I know you forgot to reply this one ;)
[BetterBatteryStats] nobnut:
I can't test this for you as I don't have it installed.

If you have it enabled in settings (Settings > Applications > Samsung Apps) and have also not removed any autostart dependencies that it may have (sorry, I don't know what these are as like I say, I have removed all trace of everything samsung on my phone), then I don't know.

Have you frozen any Samsung stuff? If you have, that is the answer maybe.
[BetterBatteryStats] ithehappy:
I was talking about 'Software Update' option, not Samsung Apps. No, I haven't modified Auto Start for any Samsung stuffs other than the Software Update option. I modified just those four apps which I've posted in the attached screen shot before.

Regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] nobnut:
Same principle applies to both. Either freeze or prevent autostart and sync manually when you want it.

I'll leave it up to you, as it is your device.

Released v0.8.2 XDA Edition

In order to sort out signatre conflicts between the free version and the market version I had to change some naming. This results in a new XDA Edition app (see post #2).

Please deinstall any free version prior to buying BBS from the market. After that you can reinstall the free version and both will have their own directories allowing indenpendent updates.
[BetterBatteryStats] nobnut:

[BetterBatteryStats] Memphisto11:
I have followed closely to your suggestions but the battery still depleting faster than usual:

- Back up my data is unchecked

- Latitude is logged out

- Latitude Automatic Caching set at default Wifi only.

- Fast Dormancy is disabled

I also turned off the following:

- Google's location service

- Location and Google Search

- Dial pad touch tones

- Touch sounds

- Screen lock sound

What else could be causing the AudioOut_1 wakelock when I have turned off every possible sound and I do not listen to music at all.

Galaxy Note > ICS update > battery issues > no deep sleep > l2_ hsic ?

Hi

I recently updated my galaxy note (GT-N7000) to ICS and started having major battery drain. With the same apps in GB, battery could easily last around 25-30 hrs with normal usage (for me).

I installed CPU SPY and found that the phone does not enter into deep sleep state (see screenshot)

I then used BetterBatteryStats and generated a dump as suggested after charging fully.

Under "Kernel Wakelocks" the entry "l2_hsic" 97.1 % seems to be the problem (not sure).

Immediately after updating to ICS, the first day I had issues with the mobile signal - no 3G or HSDPA only G. This somehow resolved itself the next day. (could the current battery drain be related to this ?)

Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Have searched for l2_hsic but have not found a solution.

Thanks

[BetterBatteryStats] shrike1978:
vbus_present is driving me crazy. I'm not seeing the issue that others are seeing with it not resetting, it is simply holding wakelocks that I can't get rid of when the phone is nowhere near a charger. It's common for it to be the worst offender in my kernel wakelocks, higher even than PowerManagerService. Does anyone have a clue?

Cab anyone tell me whats draining my battery? Unplugged it and only used Facebook then left it in my purse for 2 hrs and now its down to 94 percent. Linked the bbs to my drop box above since I couldn't attach a file on mobile xda
[BetterBatteryStats] gaui:
JuiceDefender is your problem, you're better off without it.
[BetterBatteryStats] Crossfire9:
Here is my stats from a 3 hour period with no usage from me. My battery went from about 90% to 65% in these 3 hours with no usage.

Hopefully someone can help me diagnose what is causing such poor battery life with my HTC Evo 4G LTE
[BetterBatteryStats] itsLYNDZ:
But when I don't use JD it drains even faster with data on all the time....
[BetterBatteryStats] gaui:
Ok, frankly it's hard to tell because I can't see the alarms/wake-ups on your device, because you haven't rooted.

I'd recommend root and then post another dump.
[BetterBatteryStats] itsLYNDZ:
But I am rooted. Have been since I got the phone. Other apps Like TB that need root work just fine.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Mate, you are syncing way to much!

Disable what you don't need.

Your main problem is bam_dmux, no clue what it is and no time for research now, we have to sent Italy home ! :D

Good luck !

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] gaui:
Oh sorry mate, then I guess you don't have any alarms/wake-ups.

But I am curious, uninstall JD, let your phone sit untouched for several hours and post another dump.
[BetterBatteryStats] Crossfire9:
My sync schedule:

-Google apps (push syncing)

-Weather using beweather (every 2 hours)

-Twitter using plume (every 2 hours)

-Facebook (It doesn't show me how often I am syncing that?)

-Groupme (push syncing)

I don't feel like that is extra excessive or much different from everybody else. From what I can google bam_dmux seems to have something to do with the mobile radios? Hopefully someone smarter than I can make sense of it.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
I have never seen kernel wakelocks not being shown properly so I'd rather assume either that your kernel does not detect that the charger is unplugged or that you have something stuck in the USB plug.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
You phone was awake 2 minutes in 3 hours. You may want to remove JD though.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The biggest offender is a kernel wakelock: bam_dmux_wakelock

You may want to have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690531&page=50

In second position there is maps (due to wifi).
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Hmm, so you have to live with the sync overhead!

The bam thing seems to be related to a message handler of your kernel, ask your kernel dev for this or try a different kernel.

I have a lot of wakelocks with cm9 kernel on my sgs2 and resurrection remix rom 2.5.1. From the logs you can see some download wackelocks (DownloadManager and Turbodm).. thats ok but the rest... From alarms i see wakelocks from talk app.. but its frozen..?! Could you help me to get less?
[BetterBatteryStats] Crossfire9:
Using stock :-(

Going to do a hard reset maybe and see if the issues still occur. I really don't feel the issue is syncing so much, b/c you don't see applications causing many wakes in my logs. Either way, I will double or triple the sync schedules to 4 or 6 hours and see what happens.
[BetterBatteryStats] grotesque02:
Hi!

I want know if my nexus s (with stock 4.0.4 and matr1x kernel) have a "normal battery life" :o

Thanks!
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Well it depends what is normal for you:

- you have had GPS on and in use for more that one hour

- you use com.forfone.sip that costs you quite a lot of wakeups

- you leave wifi on all the time, causing Maps overhead

For my personal taste that would be far too much drain by apps that are partially double (forfone and viber e.g.)
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Click on the icon on the right of PowerManagerService and use search here, you'll find out
[BetterBatteryStats] grotesque02:
Thanks!

Is better if I lock forfone and viber at phone startup with autostart (I usually use whats app...)?

GPS is always on for beautiful widget (maybe I can set refresh every 8 or 12 hours), and I have to take wifi on because in my home I don't have 3G signal, so I can't disable.

The other in log is normal?
[BetterBatteryStats] Memphisto11:
I have turned that off too, and every other possible sound (my phone is on silent mode most of the time).

I have turned off all sync and FD as well.

But my battery is still depleting like >10% overnight on minimal usage.

Please help to see if there is anything else I can do? Thank you.

Thanks Karpenhai !!!

Had already seen that thread but this time read it in more detail. Both the thread and others posts on the net suggested that it might be a rogue app as you mentioned.

So here is what i did that SOLVED MY PROBLEM !!!

1) Removed Facebook app

2) Removed TuneIn Radio

3) Tried uninstalling Google Maps (which many believed might be the actual culprit).

This hanged the phone. Got stuck at "Uninstalling" for a long time.

Rebooted, Maps was still there but it seemed that some updates were rolled back.

Problem solved (for now) !!!

Anybody over here know how to debug a NetworkStats wakelock. I never had that before & it suddenly started coming up over the past couple of weeks. I know what is the wakelock so I want to know how I can get rid of it. Only solution I found after googling was to remove bbs.
[BetterBatteryStats] Gunde:
I seem to have a problem with my phone never going into deep sleep.

The battery drain isn't catastrophic, though it definitely used to be better, but I'm more concerned about why it won't go to sleep.

I'd really appreciate if someone more knowing than me (probably everyone here :) ) would take a look at my dump file. I tried to decipher it myself, but don't feel I succeeded.

I notice that "Bluetooth On" and "Good Signal" has high ratios, but it makes no difference when Bluetooth is off. And a good signal is a good thing right?

Wi-Fi is turned off. And I've also tried with ExtDateWidgetPro removed. No change.

svnet/svnet dormacy cause of awake time ?

Hi,

I'm trying to understand why phone is awake for 20% of the time without using it. I've attached the log file. Is svnet/svnet-dormacy the cause of the problem ? How could I reduce it ?

Thanks in advance,

Stefano
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Hey there, first of all, get rid of this widget....

Second, check the Process tab on BBS, normally the app awaking your phone should be visible there!

@ Stefano, dopo ieri sera non ti posso rispondere...

@ Stephan, after yesterdays evening i cant answer you..
[BetterBatteryStats] Gunde:
Thanks, here's a screenshot of the Process tab. Doesn't look too bad does it??
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
What is the relation between beautiful widgets and GPS? Why not using a cheaper location source like cell?

I would recommend fixing that issue as well as the voip one and repost a dumpfile. It makes no sense to try analysing past the top 3 issues based on one log.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Then get rid of those tools, they are keeping your phone awake
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
I don't answer questions like that without seeing the dump file.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Could you please post a dumpfile, it's almost impossible to discuss without a context?

That really made my day :D could you please post the source of that statement?
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
com.atdevsoft.apps.extdatewidgetpro (): Wakeups: 544

That is a wakeup every 30 seconds.

I admit your dumpfile looks weird because there is nothing suming up to the extent of awake you have. Could you anyway remove it, take another reading and provide it together with a 'ps aux' and dmesg taken at the same point in time as the dump from bbs?
[BetterBatteryStats] Gunde:
I'll try to uninstall that widget completely.

As for the 'ps aux' and dmesg I'll have to do some research, 'cause I don't know what that is :)

Battery Drain

Hi!!!

I've been lurking these forum for the past month and thank you for all the advices. I get most of my answers without even asking :good:

But now I have this issue with the battery of my GS2. It drains very fast (I'm using resurrection remix 2.4.1) and today I took the stats...

I hope someone could give me an advice because I don't think is normal. From the 11 hours that was unplugged, I was asleep during 8hrs!! and in the other 3hrs I used it very little...

I purchased the BBS app, but honestly don't know how to "read it".

Thank you very much!!
[BetterBatteryStats] mahercs:
I just got ICS recently and am seeing some odd behavior. Twice, my phone has heated up excessively and began a huge battery drain. I was alerted by my Watchdog app that the CPU was running rampant by the /init process. Apparently, it's something that initiates a process. When it did happen, it was under completely different circumstances so pointing to one particular app was impossible. Here's a dump after about 90 minutes of idle time, but since the issue is random, I don't know if anything can be gleaned from this sample about my issue. (Also, am I correct that "kworker" is not somethign to worry about?)
[BetterBatteryStats] richua:
I just switched to a Galaxy S3 yesterday and now I don't recognize many of the major culprits in wakelocks and alarms. If someone can help me decipher them, that'd be great.

Kik is a known offender; I just have to live with that.

No, there is almost nothing, 4 mins are quite okay, 1 minute is caused by gmail.

[BetterBatteryStats] mahercs:
Thanks much!! Yes, I am enjoying the phone even more so with ICS. Like I said, the /init issue has happened twice in the week since the upgrade, and at totally different times. First when listening to a game on MLB At Bat, and again when it was sitting in my pocket totally idle. I will try to grab another dump when it repeats itself, but it will most likely be in the middle of the day and include lots of usage which skews the reading. If I get lucky and see it shortly after unplugging, it would be perfect. Wait and see I guess.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Just disable location services (sign out of latitude) and you are good, Facebook and some sync are your most awakens.

Smdctl could be the s3 notification led, did it blink during the measurement period?

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The only thing I can tell from those screenshots is that incoming wifi packets keep waking up your phone (rx_wake kernel wakelocks). Turn Wifi off and post a new reading in form of a dumpfile
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The first thing I notice are those kernel wakelocks:

"smdcntl0" (): 16 m 32 s (992 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)531/5/531 4.5%
"bam_dmux_wakelock" (): 9 m 8 s (548 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)458/100/229 2.5%

From what I was able to find both seem to be modem/radio related but there is not that much info on the non intl S3 available yet. You may want to take this to your kernel thread and seek for knowledge there.

Location / maps is also really expensive in your setup (wakelocks and wakeups). You may want to check those:

- check that caching options are set to Wifi only

- if you don't use latitude make sure you are signed off. If you want latitude you may want to try a more power friendly alternative like ALTitude

- make sure you don't have any automatic checkin locations set that you don't want
[BetterBatteryStats] richua:
Thanks. No, the LED didn't blink during the measurement period. I couldn't find much info on it; chamonix says below it could be modem or radio related. I know it's hard to debug such a new phone.

Thank you. I had forgotten that Latitude comes preloaded. I've now signed out and turned off location reporting.

I'm running stock everything and don't plan on messing with this phone for a while so if indeed those two kernel wakelocks are related to the modem or radio, I might have to just live with them until more information comes along to better identify the cause.
[BetterBatteryStats] #illidan:
Sorry here is the dump file. Also whenever I have finished charging my phone I get an ANR dialog box for bbs. Maybe it has something to do with root permission for bbs but the app works fine after that.

I didn't even remotely think that was the solution because it didn't make any sense :p but after googling for an hour without any results that was the only thing I got but now I'm not able to find that page. I'll have to go through my history to see if I can find that again.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Were you in an area with bad network coverage?

I see you use 3 g watchdog and jd: you shouldn't.

Would you mind reposting a reading with those frozen and under better network conditions?
[BetterBatteryStats] foosion:
Whenever I turn on wifi, I get lots of wlan_rx_wake (about 15 min per hour) and alarm_rtc (about 10 min per hour).

I tried turning off autosync, but that doesn't help.

Any suggestions on what to do?
[BetterBatteryStats] MistahBungle:
Network stats is doing my head in. Sometime in the past week or so this has started to cause me wakelocks. Thing is, I can't pin it down on anything in particular so I can remedy it, and it's also intermittent. When it happens, I end up with 80% deep sleep over say an hour (with most of the other 20% at 100MHZ which is my lowest freq), then another hour it will spend it's usual 98/99% in deep sleep.

Anyone have any ideas of what specifically I should be looking for to try and get a handle on this ? Thanks in advance ;-)
[BetterBatteryStats] chidarkcy:
Ok, thank you!

As soon as I have the new analysis I'll get back to you!
[BetterBatteryStats] Gunde:

The dmesg was perfect and here's what I found.

From bbs log

Since 5 h 1 m 42 s
Awake (): 5 h 1 m 42 s (18102 s) Ratio: 100.0%
"deleted_wake_locks" (): 5 h 1 m 14 s (18074 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)7485/0/218 99.8%

That suggests that there is some driver being deactivated all the time, suggesting that your phone does not go to sleep because something goes wrong in the process of going to sleep.

From dmesg

<6>[20110.906296] [if_usb_suspended]
<6>[20110.989755] [if_usb_resumed]
<6>[20111.191761] [if_usb_suspended]

<6>[20111.646268] [if_usb_suspended]
<6>[20112.456038] [if_usb_resumed]

and also

<6>[20226.401706] max8922-charger max8922-charger: max8922_is_charging: charging state = 0x3

Those entries are all over dmesg and suggest that there is a problem either with something stuck in your USB port or something wrong with the driver / hardware leading the kernel to believe that it can't go to sleep because there is something connected to the USB port or the driver can't be unloaded.

You should check your phone first, then go to your favorite kernel thread.

Hope this helps
