Ah, here we hit the crux of the matter. I am on Three UK. They have next to no 2G fallback network so setting to 2G essentially kills signal. Also, the signal in my area is so bad I have to have a Home Signal box plugged into my router, but it's effectiveness is patchy to say the least.

I still have over a year left on my poxy contract. I've bought an extended battery today so I think that will have to be a stopgap until Three sorts out their network..
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
No, BBS should have no impact in terms of keeping our phone awake. If it is the case womething is wrong with your phone/settings/apps
[BetterBatteryStats] Tennic:
I do not know what could be the cause, but when I turn off the display, the phone regularly deep sleep.

Then, start BetterBatteryStats, "settings-advanced-root features ON", turn off the display and the phone is no longer deep sleep, but it remains all times at the minimum frequency (384 MHz).

Then, start BetterBatteryStats, "settings-advanced-root features OFF", turn off the display and the phone does deep sleep regularly.

So, obviously, in my case that setting prevents deep sleep, creating numerous wake locks :confused:
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
the exact situation you describe happens when:

- you have a faulty superuser app

- bbs was not properly granted su access

(see also the faq)
[BetterBatteryStats] Tennic:
I use root by Cyanogenmod, native function of the rom.

I do not know, but it never gave any problems with the app :confused:

As soon as I finish recharge your phone, I try again, so I'll know to say what wake locks happen ;)
[BetterBatteryStats] gordonthegopher:
Here is last night's log, Wifi on, Sync off, Location services and reporting off, network set to 2G, screen off most of the time. Also, changed back to latest UK modem XXUGMK6.
[BetterBatteryStats] Tennic:
All resolved :)

It was enough to just restart the phone, and now goes into deep sleep regularly :)

Thanks for the support :)

Hi guys!

I have note3.

After updating Google Play Services, I have one big wakelock from;

WakefullIntentService[GCoreUlr-LocationReportingService] (Google Services) 1h 49m 18s Count: 2909 14.4% (Unplugged 12h 38m 25s)

Everything else is fine but this makes me nervous. Also, I need my location services to be on and not turned off. I had them on before and had only two wakelocks - NLP Collector and Nlp Wake lock.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
EDIT - Saw later your log. Interesting revelations. First off, your Wireless network is extremely chatty. So please go to Settings > Wireless > Advanced > Keep Wifi on during Sleep Set to NEVER. Also turn off Scanning always available.

Your file system seems to have issues. Can you please take a backup of your external SD card and format it on PC ? Don't do quick format. Nova launcher is very noisy. Can you switch to Zeam Launcher at least temporarily ? Freeze Google Play Service.

No its not ideal. You may want to Turn off Google Location Reporting. Turn off Location Service only after turning off Location reporting.

Sounds like you have signal issues with the carrier. Can you follow the discussion between Gordonthegopher and me on this page ?
[BetterBatteryStats] Georgel25:
I've managed to get rid of those wakelocks :D what i did - format internal SD memory, full wipe (incl. /system) from recovery, rom install, core gapps install (google play store v 4.4.2).

I don't know exactly if it was necessary to do all this, but after i have done it, i now have 0,9 % - 1.1 % battery drain per hour, as i had before.

I know it's not the right thread to ask, but does someone know if the new XXMS4 modem is battery friendly ? i have XXMS3 and i would like to update the modem, but only if it doesn't have a negative impact on battery life.

Thanks to everyone that was kind to give me some help :victory:
[BetterBatteryStats] gordonthegopher:
Not going to put Wifi to sleep as my 3G is so crap at home, need the Wifi to stay on. Also, I have FolderSync Lite set to backup my new photos and WhatsApp messages to the cloud in the early hours, not going to stop that either. Scanning Always Available has been off for every log posted.

No external SD card, have had been so much trouble with these since I owned the phone, the classic bug where it suddenly comes up with "No SD Card inserted" and only reformatting it works. So now I only use the internal memory. I backup up and wiped this fully with Philz Touch Recovery before migrating to NeatRom and only restored the files I needed. Can you explain what in the log gives you this impression?

Not going to get rid of Nova Launcher either, no need.

I was using the APN settings provided with NeatRom, so I deleted that and used the ones listed by Three (screenshot attached)

Have never had to do any of the above previously to keep good battery life, so I can only assume all of my problems are really down to signal and there is nothing I can do about that until I have a chance to move networks in over a year's time. Until that's sorted, the extended battery I just bought will have to be the remedy. The phone seems to have no real problem staying in deep sleep, it just drains when in use.

It just feels like I'm going round in circles posting logs on here as I only have less than 1% drain per hour in deep sleep. The main issue is when the phone is in use. Thanks for all your efforts, but I just think it won't be fixed by endlessly doing the same things in various different ways.
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
If it's a in use issue I can suggest you lower your brightness levels or maybe undervolt a little?

Try a custom Kernel for whatever phone you have to see if that helps.
[BetterBatteryStats] gordonthegopher:
Not too keen on undervolt, rather not have to resort to that. I did have Boeffla installed when I was using stock based ROMs, but it didn't seem to have any impact on battery life. And Sale has done a very good job on the kernel for NeatRom, so I'm happy to stick with that.

When it comes to brightness, does auto brightness use more battery than a fixed brightness level?
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
I'm not sure what device you have but on the Nexus 5 yes.

The auto brightness is super aggressive and the screen is often brighter than it needs to be.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the backlight takes quite a bit of battery.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Dude seriously?

It had been mentioned a thousand times... plus the name of the wakelock is clear....

Just turn reporting off.

I know it's caused by Google Reporting service, but I had that service turned on earlier and I never got this wakelock! That's what I don't understand, how I didn't have earlier this wakelock and now I have.
[BetterBatteryStats] unixz:
Thanks for taking a look at it.

Location reporting is turnoff from the start but location service is the only thing that eatup my battery, right? I might left it on if thats the case because I still need it.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
You know that certain Google services are updating themselves without letting you know? So that interface may be new and therefore draining lately...

High accuracy = GPS on all the time = draining.... Regards

[BetterBatteryStats] timeshiftt:
Hello, do you have any idea on how to improve my battery life? I feel like it's the worse galaxy s2 battery life in the planet.

3,3%/h is pretty shi*** considering that I have less than 1hr of screen usage.

Kernel: apolo jb 4.13 with "saving" profile.

Rom: neatrom superlite 2.6

Modem: uhms1

I have greenify with experimental features enabled and I've greenified all GCM enabled apps Except for whatsapp (facebook, twitter, netflix, subway surfers, twitter, messenger, instagram, Shazam, snapchat, chrome, candy crush, maps, Google play music, easy taxi, foursquare, clean master).

And I also have seeder with "light" profile
[BetterBatteryStats] EvanVanVan:
Hey, does that mean Battery Saving manages the GPS? I use Navigation so often I almost never manually toggle GPS off. Would I still see some benefit by choosing the Battery Saving option? I'm guessing when you say GPS is on all the time, you don't mean it has a constant GPS lock.
[BetterBatteryStats] keeekeeess:
I did mention I know what every color symbolizes. I was asking how the calculations are made.

So let me get this straight:

The widget's green / yellow bar is the ratio of how much I used the phone vs. how much time it was in deep sleep. This depends on the user.

I know the yellow bar is composed of 2 parts - transparent (for screen on) vs. red for awake.

My question is - does the battery show either:

1. a ratio of awake/screen on? In this case, if the ratio is = 1, the battery should be 50% transparent 50% red (because it's impossible to have screen on > awake)

2. it shows the difference between being awake and screen on ( awake(s) minus screen on(s)), in this case it can go up to 99.9% (if phone never goes in deep sleep)

So the bottom line is: in a perfect scenario, should the battery icon be half full or should it always be empty? (i never gotten under 50% with it)

[BetterBatteryStats] whitey.germany:
Hello guys,

i'm currently experimenting with my Phone, BBS, TB and Greenify. I am quite happy with what i have achieved so far, but i hope it get's better. Another user (Hi Osama) made me aware of that my Phone does a lot of widget updates. AFAIK i only use Zopper for my clock.

So can somebody have a look in my BBS log and maybe point me in the right direction what i can do to further improve my battery life?

Got a new HTC One today. After draining , installed BBS and then did a full charge.... it is not showing cpu states.

Totally blank.

Coincides with it not showing any deep sleep. :(
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
ideally the battery should be empty, meaning that all the awake time was caused by screen on. A full battery would mean that all the awake was caused when screen was off, ie by wakelocks.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
I have read that but didn't see any to-do as BBS uses no scripts in /data.

Of course we will see when the release comes as dev do not get any extra treatment. I am equipped with nexus devices so at least I will be testing when the first images come out.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
It just means your GPS receiver on the phone is on. It may or may not mean there is a lock. If you navigate a lot, you might be better served by choosing Device only as the preference.

Since you are rooted, can you please enable Root Features of BBS ? If possible, change the modem. I am seeing some Radio chatter. If you are going to "Greenify" (Shudder :rolleyes:) apps, might want to do all the social media.

Please Remove Facebook and use their mobile website instead.

I think its pretty well as it is. I don't think we need to tune further unless you have a specific reason. I didn't see any widgets causing a concern.

Did you enable Root Features of the BBS and set it up as System App ?
[BetterBatteryStats] Lither:
I've looked at the log and Facebook doesn't seem to cause the drain also I've greenify Facebook as well, it's Google and Android alarms that is quite high, to reduce Google and Android alarms, is it recommended to disable all receivers of Google Play Service and Google Service Framework and greenify both apps?
[BetterBatteryStats] coolacrille:
Hi!

If someone would help me with looking at my logs, I'd be really happy :good:
[BetterBatteryStats] schetz:
ok, since I'm not able to resolve any issues with carrier I tried something else based on the fact I had no such wakelocks and drain on another ROM.

I modified google Calendar permission for syncing since I don't really use it and I reduced my battery drain from 1%/h to 0,25% / h.

Just wrote this as it might help someone else..

Although I still think you have a point with carrier issues since my signal is not stable at all..
[BetterBatteryStats] whitey.germany:
Hi Perseus,

first of all, i want to thank you for your analysis.

Well i'm suspicious why there is this:

in my BBS log. As far as i understood, this are wake ups caused by widgets? As i only have Zopper active (Well, there are Flashlight, Mute and Screen Off also, but afaik they do nothing when not pressed) i am wondering what is the cause of this alarms.

You maybe right, that it doesn't make much difference in battery life, but is it possible to track down the widget that causes this alarms? Really, when it is Zopper, i can live with it, when it is another one i want to get rid of it.

Is there no app or something that can intercept the APPWIDGET_UPDATE messages and log where they come from, lets say, to a file?

I attach the newest BBS log which i took over night. Please don't let me die dump and stupid :)

I am having a problem with "bam_dmux_wakelock", it is causing kernel wakelock and is keeping my phone awake, my battery drops from 100 to 90 in just 4 hours of deepsleep, I'm am using nexus 5 with rooted 4.4.2 with everything updated , it started a week ago, tried everything, stopped sync, disabled location reporting, Only thing I can do to stop it is to turn off mobile data, but that is not a permanent option. Even flashed custom rooms and factory images, still its happening.

Hi all.

Please, can someone help me to reduce my drain? I think that it's too much (6.5%/hour) but it doesn't seem there is something wrong in my BBS.

That's my normal usage with philz 5.06.1 but BBS results are similar with philz 5.15 and with Apolo 4.13.

I'm on stock 4.1.2 xwlsw.

Just for reference, starting by yesterday, my battery went from fully charged to 5% in 22 hours with 2 hours and half of screen usage

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi!

First time for me in the BBS thread, although I have been using the app for over more than a year now. Today I ran into a wakelock that I haven't seen before: ExecutorServiceScheduler. I did a search here on XDA and on Google but couldn't find anything. Anybody knows what this is?

Thanx!

Edit: never mind, I found the culprit. It was an app I had running that previously showed a wakelock with another name. So I didn't suspect the app, but Gsam confirmed my thoughts.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
Not All the Receivers, but just the ones containing the word Checkin.

Noting big jumps out. Seems ok drain from normal usage. If you want, you could turn off that Sony Ericsson Widget or app

Indeed sounds like Tower. Have you tried to Change Modem ?

The Psych teacher was analyzing impact on our psychology of being potty trained late in the game. Go figure.

Sideeffects of listening to music. Nothing can be done about it.

Sounds like Tower issues or Signal issues. Please try changing your Modem &/or APN
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
I have tried on multiple towers and changed modems as well but the issue still persists.

The thing which has me scratching my head is I'll be at work and for half of the work day the drain is as expected but all of a sudden in the afternoon it drains heavily with very little wakelocks as per my previous dump.

According to Androids battery stats I have no loss of signal but when I click into mobile standby it displays signal has been lost.

This issue also has happened on 2 different carriers, I'm starting to wonder is there some sort of weird bug within Android itself
[BetterBatteryStats] timeshiftt:
Ok I did some things of what you said :laugh: I enabled root features but didn't change the modem and didn't greenified whatsapp, simply because I wouldn't allow the app to backup my conversations and since I'm in some groups it wouldn't say greenified for long anyways.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
Did you happen to observe Temperature of the phone in the afternoon ?

Change of modem has helped a bit. Not a lot though. Do you use Hangouts ? Also how important are notifications from Google apps ?
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
I didn't but I've noticed the phone gets considerably warmer when the issue is occurring.

It doesn't get hot but it's warmer when I'm suffering this issue.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
That tells me its positively Tower/Signal/Carrier issue. You will have to re-examine the APNs with a Carrier CSO.

[BetterBatteryStats] c4Lvin:
I just spent over 3 hours reading all 21 pages of this! And is well worth it if I may add! I have the battery widget pro and sometimes the mA current spikes from 200-9xxmA! This is with the screen on of course. I am currently letting the S2 get into a good hour or so deep sleep to check some of the wake locks, etc. I am losing over 15% of battery during my sleep hours (2-9:30am). I have earlier disabled the google backup etc. Also no sync for twitter and FB which I hardly use. Wish me luck!

Just an update within 40-45 minutes of sleep as I had an incoming call. I loaded up BetterBatteryStats seeing my awake time was all solid blue! WTF! And also the current was only 2mA which is very acceptable but what's up with that awake time? I have that battery monitor widget refresh mA reading in 5 secs interval. I think it maybe my wifi which is keeping it alive/awake but only more sleep time can tell!

Maybe it's because I'm clicking a process rather than an actual "app" itself. Processes don't have settings right?

[BetterBatteryStats] garreh:
It's useful to have access to this information but hard to act on it for non technically savvy of us. Would be good for the app to suggest the apps/services that are sucking so much power, and how much of a saving in battery it could save i.e. 5%
[BetterBatteryStats] nobnut:
If you have any questions or queries regarding the use of the app or the data that it reveals, just post it here with screenshots if it is easier. Someone will be happy to help. Chamonix is still developing this app and is always keen to listen to good suggestions for future improvements.

The first item you mention is I believe on the list of future possible features. The second one is a good idea, but I think it might be hard to make it work in reality as one wakelock, or one process will not use the same amount of power as another. It may be that Chamonix can add a similar feature though :)
[BetterBatteryStats] c4Lvin:
can anyone analyze my standby drainage problem?

Using the phone seems to have decent battery life but once screen is off, i think i may have lost 25-35%. I have wifi on and dont have many widgets at all. please see some of my screen shots from last night.
[BetterBatteryStats] desean:
looks like your "drain" problem is due to poor phone signal rather than wakelocks from the screenshots.

if your phone signal is weak, the phone has to spend more energy to search for a stronger signal. maybe switching to 2G might help for you.
[BetterBatteryStats] c4Lvin:
So if wifi is solid throughout and shows 12hours, that is normal?

My signal perhaps in my bedroom is worse as i get full signals in the living room. Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated
