I see. So it could be a number of things.

Anyone else knows why Google+ syncs so much despite turning off Sync and also greenifying it? Jeez. I know I'm in a place with bad reception but 10 min of wakelock despite having it sync as OFF? Even terrible apps like Facebook will stop wakelocking with sync off.... Ugh.
[BetterBatteryStats] kaushikd:
AS told, I've checked after:

1. switching off Google Now

2. Turning off location services

3. Using greenify to hibernate 'Facebook'

Still I got some significant battery drain over the night without even touching the phone. Can someone please check and help with the log attached.
[BetterBatteryStats] Mr. Cloggy:
Anyone knows what this is?

ScreenAnim Partial (Android System): 7 m 38 s (458 s) Count:289 2.3%

Getting 4,5% battery drain per hour, little too much for my taste.

did someone ever had a "msm_otg" kernel wakelock problem?

I cant find any help over google or xda search in this thread :(

this wakelock always appears if my phone is turned on:

after reloading my phone or plugging in my usb cable, this wakelock appears and drains my battery fast

I always have to reboot to get rid of this wakelock

can someone help me?

[BetterBatteryStats] Al Gore:
Cheers, but is there a way to keep G Now functions without it?
[BetterBatteryStats] teemo:
Don't think so. The idea of G.Now is to tell you about here and now. Meaning it has to monitor where you are and what you do, which cost battery, lots of battery.

At least, thats how I understand G.Now - I never use it (useless in my area).
[BetterBatteryStats] sirxdroid:
If you simply disable wifi and mobile network location it will still use GPS for location, so location services will still work. Now I don't know what worse: these wakelocks or using GPS for location when needed. You have to try it.
[BetterBatteryStats] Salty Wagyu:
I'm getting an "Unfortunately BetterBatteryStats has stopped." when starting the app, with just an OK button, no report button as there would normally be.

Was working fine before that a few weeks ago but doesn't today for some odd reason. Tried clearing data but this didn't help, nor does re-installing it.

It is BetterBatteryStats_xdaedition_1.13.4.0 that I'm using, any ideas?

10% battery drain in 6 hours with data/wifi disabled :eek:

http://db.tt/2f9sY2Wy
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
As your phone seems to be rooted, please enable root option in Advanced menu and TICK all stats in Dumpfile menu of BBS app.

The battery drain is not that high IMO, but can not be explained be the wakelocks only ... your deep sleep ratio is 98,1%, and the difference between awake time and screen on time is only 2 minutes.

Maybe we can see more in Alarm and Network stats.

Good luck !
[BetterBatteryStats] kaushikd:
What about mine?

[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Your biggest wakelock is mipi_link. And I don't know what this is :confused:

Even a quicksearch on Google could not enlighten me.

You have alarms from:

com.onavo.android.onavoid (): Wakeups: 44 ?!

com.whatsapp (): Wakeups: 34 > If you don't need it, disable/freeze it.

com.google.android.apps.maps (): Wakeups: 30 > Disable its autostarts like described by Karpfenhai (link is in post #3).

com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox (): Wakeups: 3 > If you don't need it, disable/freeze it.

makatea.free.calculator.widget (): Wakeups: 3

The last one seems to be very "communicative" and uses your internet connection a lot:

(makatea.free.calculator.widget.Calculator): 239.0 KBytes 42.2%

I recommend to remove this widget, uninstall it, use another calculator.

Or if you want/need it, try to greenify it. (Search for Greenify app in Play store.)

Good luck !

Hi everyone, i attached my dumpfile and i hope anyone can help me.

Im on a S3 using slimbean rom 6 official (4.2.2) as my first rom with Siyah Kernel (dual boot enabled).

At night when my phone is fully charged, i cleaned recents app and i use 1Tap Cleaner to clean the app cache.

Afterwards I use nfc task launcher to be in night mode (airplane mode+silent mode+lowest brightness+ 7 sec as screen timeout) , i disabled the nfc then i unplugged the phone.

12 h 17 m 58 s later without touching my phone, i opened bbs and saved a dumpfile.

I lost 10% while i lost only 2% with the same time.

I froze maps when im not using it, location and gps disabled when im not using it.

Weather BZ widget is updated manually.

Google Agenda widget is updated automatically.

All app's notifications are off.

Regards :fingers-crossed:
[BetterBatteryStats] jhuff83:
0.8% in 12 hours. I would say that is awesome.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
is there a way to show a better estimated of the battery discharing rate? for example calculate it from the last 15 minutes? I usually lose 15%/h browing non stop with screen always on. If like today I didn't use the phone much aka being mostly idling when I start using it again for 1h it shows an unrealistic drop of 3%/h because it considers all the slow discharging rate of the day.

Thank you.
[BetterBatteryStats] Atticustrd:

[BetterBatteryStats] snowmac:
This is quite an useful tool to have. I have been using this to cut down on battery drain and wake locks. I have been swapping g between two OEM batteries on the s3. I noticed sometimes the app won't realize I swapped batteries and skews the stats a bit.

I also have three Zerolemon batteries on the way is there a way I can set up a profile for each battery? I will have a total of 5 batteries after the zeros arrive is it even a good idea to name each battery and it has its own profile such as oem 001 oem 002 zero slim 001 zero slim 002 zero7k so I can see how much each battery can hold and whether certain batteries drain faster than others over time?

Sorry if those questions seem obvious/stupid

[BetterBatteryStats] Jim.KGD:

[BetterBatteryStats] kozmo21:
Only losing 5% over almost 11 hours is pretty good. The only things I see are...

"secril_fd-interface" (): 4 m 58 s (298 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)66/0/0 0,8% ... To fix this, use Gokhanmoral's Fast Dormancy app from Play store. (be sure to reboot after changing)

Alarms: 108, Intent: com.android.internal.telephony.gprs-data-stall... This shows you have a weak/bad data connection.
[BetterBatteryStats] frwan:
Thanks kozmo21 for your comment, i had already fast dormancy disabled ;) .

I don't know why i lost 10% in airplane mode and just 5% without airplane mode enabled it's weird :eek: .
[BetterBatteryStats] kozmo21:
Did you reboot after toggling FD? The "secril_fd-interface" wakelock shouldn't appear if you did?

As to why you lost more in airplane mode, could be that something was trying to sync and couldn't but kept trying?
[BetterBatteryStats] deepanshuchg:
Thanks mate for replying

I have installed from here now and have some battery issues too so should I reboot my phone and keep it on for 4-5 hours then make a dump file of it and post it here?

Do I only need to attach dumb file or anything else.. I don't remember the name which were showing up with the dumb file
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Wifi is causing the biggest trouble with lots of wakelocks/wakeups
[BetterBatteryStats] frwan:
Thanks for your reply mate ;) .

Yes i rebooted after toggling FD. To be sure i've just enabled/disabled FD and rebooted my phone, i will do a dumpfile and see if it changes anything.

I have google calendar, gmail, contact, drive,Google Keep, Got-It Free! synced automatically with my google account.

All notifications are off except for sms, missed call and a notification to update for the next version of lbe security guard (i disabled auto-update and notification but it keep running).

Regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Yes, charge the battery, reboot, then turn off the screen and do nothing with the phone for about 4 hours. Then unlock the screen, open BBS, create the dumpfile and post it here as attachment or link.

Dumpfile will do in most cases.

Good luck !

[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
That sumpfigen is not showing any kernel Wakelocks and that is weird. Could you please check the raw kernel Wakelocks. If they are not empty please repeat the reading, if they are we will have to investigate further.

Also you should enable the use of root as you device is rooted to allow BBS to access network and Alarms.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
I don't understand your request. BBS deals with what your phone does and not with what your battery does or its capabilities. Could you please elaborate on where you see the relation between BBS and the physical battery?
[BetterBatteryStats] bvbsoccer:

Once the events have been detected the corresponding references will show. Note that for a given 'from' the only the "to" following that even are displayed
[BetterBatteryStats] Jane Shizuka:
Hello, I've read a few guides on BBS, including your site of course and I am starting to understand wakelocks and so on. I have a few problems that didn't find any references so far:

Let's say I don't want any app to sync, some of them (Gmail, Whatsapp) don't even have the "frequency" option in "Settings". I am well aware that I could use "Airplane mode" in those cases, but would simply turning off the "sync" in phone options serve the same purpose?

My Gmail APP in particular seems to search for e-mails very frequently, going as far as receiving them in the same minute they arrive (This morning, for instance, I received an e-mail at 5:14 AM (I checked the time on my computer) and it "found" the e-mail at exactly 5:14 AM (Time it notified me). Can I, somehow, tell my Gmail APP to "check once every half hour"?
[BetterBatteryStats] cdzo72:
1) On apps that don't have a frequency option WITHIN the app there may be an option under Setting-Account and then select the app if it has an entry there and disable sync... in theory disabling AutoSync for the phone in general SHOULD accomplish the same but some apps are tenacious

2) no, GMail has no way of setting it check on intervals (many people like K9 mail to replace it or you can use the stock Email app which does have interval settings)
[BetterBatteryStats] DannyBouns:
Perhaps this is what you are looking for. I have got such an option (disable all data activities/sync).

Unfortunately I can only add a german screenshot. It is in SETTINGS=>"DATA USAGE" (Einstellungen=>Datennutzung).

When pressing menu in the left bottom corner of my phone - I find two checkboxes: [I am on Omega v43 - so it's "4.1.2"]

- limit background data

- automatic sync of data

if unchecked no data will be "downloaded" (I guess).
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The drop shown by BBS is an average over all time. You can get more detailed info using active monitoring but for your use case I feel that bmw is the better tool
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
That picture is only partly correct for apps for doing polling. Apps using push (Gmail for example) the fact that a mail is shown straight away does not mean that your phone keeps asking the server.

Edit: on the other hand for apps like Whatsapp you are correct, there is no setting and the app polls. The only trick here would be to use a trick to work around that poor design to disable those actions when the phone is off (stamina mode on Sony, greenify) but as you are doing something that the app was not designed for there may be side effects
[BetterBatteryStats] Jane Shizuka:
Wait. So let me see if I understood it correctly, you're telling me that Gmail won't actually harm my battery and won't awake the phone because it uses "push"?
[BetterBatteryStats] GermainZ:
Push drains more battery than non frequent pulling.
[BetterBatteryStats] itsLYNDZ:
Here is my latest stats. Got around 9 hours of battery life :(
[BetterBatteryStats] Jane Shizuka:
Thanks. That's interesting. Are there more statistics on this?

For instance: Pulling once every half hour would be way better than pushing frequently?
[BetterBatteryStats] frwan:
Hi! There is my fresh dumpfile.

During the night after fully charged my phone, i rebooted, unplugged, screen-off it.

Night mode (silent mode enabled, 15 sec for the screen timeout and lowest screen brightness).

12h40 later my phone awakes 33 minutes and i didn't play with it.

I saw after doing the dumpfile that:

-I've only missed 2 calls,

-I got bln+notification to listen my voicemail,

-I got a notification to update for the next version of lbe security guard ( i've already disabled auto-update but it continue to ask me :eek: ).

I already have FD disabled.

My phone switch automatically between 2g/3g mode.

Best regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
No that is not what I said: push comes in two flavours:

- is a technique requiring a background low power connection that uses a keep-alive of about 20 minutes: in that case bad connectivity is something that will drive the overhead as re-connections will have to happen

- cloud to device that basically uses the same principles as above

I have found IMAP push to cause quite some overhead when for example I travel by train as the connection drops a lot. When I am at home or at the office gmail causes almost no overhead. Of course that is how it works for me and in your case it may differ.

The good news is that BBS is the perfect tool for finding that out :)
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
33 minutes awake in almost 13 hours is pretty good for a smartphone IMO. In your case part of the awake was caused by bad network coverage (gprm-data-stall). You may want to try other radio/modem versions to see if you can improve on that. Besides that your setup is pretty optimal, enjoy it
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
First, that reading is far too short. Second, you should enable the root features of BBS to get more precise info. Third your reading "since boot" shows the media scanner doing its work and of course keeping your phone awake.

Finally from that reading the three things that you could look into:

PopupNotifications.SmsMonitorService (com.spiderfly.iserm.popupnotifications.Glowfly): 10 m 59 s (659 s) Count:27 15.9%

NfcService (com.android.nfc.Nfc Service): 5 m 53 s (353 s) Count:5 8.5%

*backup* (Android System): 4 m 19 s (259 s) Count:38 6.2%
[BetterBatteryStats] itsLYNDZ:
Could you tell me what those 3 apps listed mean? Is there any other popup sms app that doesnt keep the phone awake? I use that appc so Im not constantly unlocking the screen and checking for missed texts. How do I keep media scanner from keeping my phone awake? How do I enable root features of BBS?
[BetterBatteryStats] frwan:
Thanks a lot for your advice and your fantastic app :good: .

Last question can i use bbs fo daily use or only if i had huge problem with battery ?

Regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Please provide an idle dump as I already suggested in NeatROM thread.

With nearly 4 hours screen on time, you have wanted and unwanted apps in your battery stats.

Just leave the phone doing nothing with screen off all the time for about 4 hours.

Then post your dump again ... as an attachment or upload it somewhere (e.g. DropBox, PasteBin, etc.) an link it in your post.

Thanks !
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
BBS is passive so as long as you are not using the watchdog it doesn't cause any overhead

How do I enable root features of BBS? It never asks for root permissions when I open the app. Could you tell me what those apps mean? Is there any other popup sms app that doesnt keep the phone awake? I use that app so Im not constantly unlocking the screen and checking for missed texts. How do I keep media scanner from keeping my phone awake? Thank you!
[BetterBatteryStats] cdzo72:
If you haven't found how to enable ROOT features then you have just proven to everyone you haven't even taken the time to go through all of BBS's menus... much less do much thread reading...

Secondly... common logic would tell you that if an app is checking other apps to give you a screen notification message of what OTHER APPS are doing then it would be impossible for your phone to ever go to sleep (imagine as a child trying to go to sleep and every few minutes your parents come in the room and turn the light on... do you think you'd ever get any rest?... common logic)

So you must choose... constant notification or battery life... there is not much of a middle ground except for maybe tweaking phone CPU down and undervolting so that a phone constantly using resources uses as little juice as possible since its gonna be awake...

Also... an app to produce a popup notification for SMS or any other app with notifications is going to use MORE juice than the notifications produced from the app itself... so I really don't understand the point in using them... its swimming against the current
[BetterBatteryStats] petmanel:
