One X Drain

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could take a look at my BBS log please? I've had some severe idle drain on my HTC One X since upgrading to Jelly Bean. I find that my awake time by the end of a 17 hour day is 5-6 hours but my screen time is only 1.5 hours. The log I took is the device unplugged and idle for 4.5 hours I think.

Thanks for your time.

Danny
[BetterBatteryStats] MakhouT:
Hi!

Thanks for the help Karpfenhai :)

First of all I have to disappoint you, Rooting isn't an option :(

I already had airpush detector, but it didn't detect anything. But I just deleted ebay and cut the rope app.

I can't seem to find 'latitude', where do you spot this?

For the cpu going from zero to full power, is that bad? Why would I want to resist that, full power = better and faster, not?

I can also use the 'power saving mode" to limit the cpu, But don't know why I would do that :)

Sorry for the many questions, but I'm hoping to learn something by asking and assuming :)

I'm looking pretty good while sleeping on 3g (still getting hammered with wlan_rx_wake on any wifi)

Any room for improvement here? Maybe reduce the gtalk alarms?

Thanks!

Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

As I mentioned earlier, disabling location services is a no go for me because I use Foursquare, Gas Buddy and other apps that need to know where they are. There has got to be a way to walk the line between having Maps running constantly when I'm not using it and making it disabled when I want to use it.
[BetterBatteryStats] lerkin:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

You maybe need to disable ipv6. Search the way on xda. You can use tasker for that. What Rom are you on? This wakelock appears on aosp roms on Samsung's phones.
[BetterBatteryStats] ccs86:
At home if I disable ipv6, then I lose Homegroup and remote desktop functionality, which I use every day.

On campus, I have no control of services that run on the network.

I never had this problem on any of the Gingerbread ROMs I ran. (I think ICS was fine too, but not sure). It's just these damn JB based ROMs. Nothing has changed on the networks I use.

I'm using SlimROM at the moment, but it was identical on CM10
[BetterBatteryStats] lerkin:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

Than leave aosp based roms for now and flash roms based on stock. What phone is on you?
[BetterBatteryStats] ccs86:
Evo3D. That's kind of the issue. I haven't found a Sense based ROM, that's ICS or JB that I liked as a DD.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Doesn't look that bad IMO.

Biggest wakelock is:

*sync*_com.htc.sync.provider.weather_Account {name=Wea***r, type=com.htc.sync.provider.weather} (HTC Services)

Maybe you have an option to disable auto-update of the weathter app/widget.

If you want to see more information, such as Alarms and Network stats, you will have to root your phone.
[BetterBatteryStats] kozmo21:
Another posiblity besides what It_ler said, could be the app Touch. In it's permissions it says " Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep." .

Maps is making alarms though you disable autostarts from it. Me myself can only reduce the alarms with autostarts. But you can get zero alarms if you disable the app with tb pro.
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
What part of "I don't want to lose use of all my location-based apps" has been unclear? Telling someone to disable Maps when he uses Maps isn't helping. How about I just never turn the phone on and that way, nothing will drain?:rolleyes:
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:

Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

Turning off autostarts is not at all the same as saying you can't use it. You just won't have any extra services AUTOmatically START. You can still run the app and use it
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
No problem. It's a fast-moving thread with a bazillion posts in it that no one could possibly read in its entirety. The frustration I'm having is how to tame an app that I need, but wants to party all night. Grrr.
[BetterBatteryStats] bik2101:
are those apps what's causing the alarmManager to be so high? just wondering why you suggest all those. i know they are the pretty common suggestions. in terms of gmail, that's probably one thing I'm willing to take whatever battery hit comes with it. i've just never seen two separate listings for alarmmanager (one for android system and one for phone). and wonder why there are suddenly two separate alarm manager's hitting my battery with the wakelocks.

Hi guys!! Its my first post. I´ve been following this post for a while, and all i can say that is so great all the work you do! I´ve decided to send you my BBS results, one belong to this night and the other to the entire day.I´m concerned about the high wakelocks ofcom.sec.android.app.clockpackage.Reloj (Reloj = Clock). Any advice? Thanks for your work and dedication! :D
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:

It is a clock you can disable if you are rooted using titanium pro.

Reloj 1.0 (com.sec.android.app.clockpackage)
Reloj (digital) 1.0 (com.sec.android.widgetapp.digitalclock2x1)
Reloj (digital) 1.0 (com.sec.android.widgetapp.digitalclock)
Reloj (funky) 1.0 (com.sec.android.widgetapp.analogclockunique)

Reloj dual (digital) 1.0 (com.sec.android.widgetapp.dualclockdigital4x2)
Reloj dual (digital) 1.0 (com.sec.android.widgetapp.dualclockdigital)

If you want better better battery life.. You can use pop3 settings for your stock email app.

If you root your device we also can see alarms. But [0,2%/h] is very good ..
[BetterBatteryStats] luismagl:
I am using Beautiful widgets, its causing the wakelock? Or its the Clock from root?
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
I think it is a clock from root. Have you a clock widget on screen? you could probably try removing it.
[BetterBatteryStats] luismagl:
Yes i do. Its a widget with weather and clock. If i disable clock, what could happen?
[BetterBatteryStats] bik2101:
alright froze everything else you mentioned but obviously like i said, keeping gmail. hope to see an improvement. (i should right?)

[BetterBatteryStats] bik2101:

[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

Latitude is a part of maps and needs to be disabled (signed out) within the application.

Not rooting...why is that? Not even temporarily to disable some startups and unroot again afterwards?

The answer is in your dump, your cpu was running on full power for almost one hour for no good reason... do you want to save battery or not? So.....

I'm keen for a new dump to see a difference.

We all are using maps. Some of us are using location based services, for weather and social networks. Who said disabling autostart for maps will have negative side effects on other applications? It's also clearly described in the guide, that maps will work anyway same for navigation and stuff. So please don't ask for advice if you don't understand what will be done and why, please read the instructions given with care and decide for yourself which advice you are willing to follow, but don't blame people trying to help you, thx.

No offence, regards.

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
I get that disabling autostarts doesn't mean crippling Maps or other apps. It's the suggestions to shut off all location services that would and that's what I've been questioning. Some of the "solutions" being offered to myself and others are basically, "Shut everything off. Don't use any apps. Manually sync everything. Cripple every useful feature. You're welcome. Don't like it? Sod off!" The confusion as to which autostart-stopper apps really work isn't helping either; not to mention they all have similar names. Trying to optimize power efficiency is a two-pronged problem. While BBS is essential at exposing what's causing drains, dealing with them is the trick and I'd like to take a scalpel to the problem instead of the sledgehammer approach some are offering.

Looking at Autorun Manager, I see a list of apps, some running that I haven't even used. (This led me to discover Bacon Reader was updating once a day; killed that noise.) Where I'm asking for help is sorting through the receivers and intents being listed. It's all code to me, stuff about intents. I tried killing Pandora and Soundhound autostarts and their widgets not only disappeared from the home screen, but weren't even selectable from the widgets list; it's as if they were deleted off the phone. Restoring their settings brought them back. Lesson learned.

Does anyone have more useful advice other than shut everything off and if you don't like that advice, shut up? Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] azrash:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

personally, I only use autostarts for FB and Maps

What i do when I look at my stats, is to normally look at alarms and wakelocks, let say Gtalk has a high alarm, I don't disable it in autostarts. I open gtalk, and disable the automatic sign in. I repeat this for other apps too. Don't have to necessarily use autostarts to get results, it is just won't be as fine grained.

The idea here is to find the right balance for your usage. The recommendation given here is normally made to try to fully eliminate the alarms that is waking up your device. My advise is just to fine tune your apps settings to reduce the wakelock etc and get the right balance.

Personally, on my Nexus 4, the idle drain is 0.5-0.7%/hour with full sync on, g now, g maps on. Just have to drill down those apps settings and change them to fit your usage.

Good luck!

May I ask you a question? I don't have all the staff bellow secret code entered from second screenshot in autostarts under gsf... What am I doing wrong?
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
I'm pretty diligent about stomping on apps that want to refresh/login/update, but some, like Facebook, seem to get going or stay going after use regardless of how they're set in the app settings. I just noticed Facebook has 9 receivers going, but thanks to a previously unknown limitation of the free version of Autorun Manager, I can't turn them off. Bother. Time to find another app, I suppose. <1% per hour idle drain w/o going into airplane mode would be sweet, but I'm a ways from getting there.

[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

Nothing, its of course dependent on the device and the Rom, my settings are from galaxy s2 and Samsung's jelly leak, but they are pretty similar to sammys ics roms too.

So try to find what fits best to your needs and don't worry about missing entries.

if you like the history feature, you can reduce it by increasing the time interval. Although that would give you less accurate estimation.

Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

I searched it a little bit and we shouldn't realty do it. It's basically the app that scans the storage for media . If we disable it we lose the ability to see new pics and songs and ring tones in some apps. BUT sometimes this app goes crazy causing Long wake locks. Most of the times its because there are corrupted files somewhere that can't get past.

[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
That puts things in relation. We are looking at 2 minutes awake vs 37 uptime. Of course half of the awake is still a lot but it is a lot of 6%.

Now besides the tags I have no clue what triggers EventLog to cause wakelocks so I'll try to read sources. Could you please do two things:

- provide a dmesg and a logcat

- turn off wifi and see if it changes anything

First point is to try finding more info about the cause. It might be something logging huge amounts of data. Second is a wild guess as I don't know any systematic approach to determine 'who' uses logging. Maybe I should look into linux as well es logging may be outside of userland.

This happens:

Your MediaScannerService does not run when your phone starts. It is running when you need to access your media.

And it is not making wakelock.

Everything works and it is safe to turn off all entries.

You are not disabling the mediascanner (mediastorage). You just disable its autostarts.
