Battery drain

Hi , i have a Galaxy S Advance with Jelly Bean, and my battery drains fast. Looks like Android OS is on the top of battery consumers list. In BBS i got lots of wakeups from android gsf .Can anyone help me with this ?
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
You biggest issue seems to be "alarm_rtc" kernel wakelock. I'm not sure about this. Could be real time clock alarm for services like Wake-on-LAN or Wake-on-Phone, but I have never seen it in the dimension you have it on your phone.

Another thing is:

com.zomut.watchdog.MonitorService (com.zomut.watchdoglite.Watchdog Lite): Smething to uninstall/disable/freeze ?!

Good luck !

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Maybe there is something wrong with your alarm stats?!

Many RTC_Wakeups ... I'm not sure if Tasker uses these real time clock alarms?!

Main alrams:

ebay: Disable all notifications/auto-updates of ebay.

Maps: In post #3 you will find a link to Karpfenhai's description of how to "optimize" Maps. Give it a try.

Google+: If you don't need it every day, disable/freeze it.

Viber: Disable/freeze it just to see its influence to your battery life.

Another thing:

Genie (com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.News & Wetter): Disable auto updates of News&Wetter.

And try to reboot after disconencting USB cable next time. This may lead to less wakelocks.

Good luck !

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

To identify the "unwanted" battery drainers, we need an idle dump > doing nothing / screen off for at least 4 hours.

In your dump file, there are many apps generating wakelocks and alarms, but you have used your phone. So it's very hard to differenciate between the "wanted" and "unwanted" drainers.
[BetterBatteryStats] sengstaken:
Thanks lt_ler

I've asked the mail app to refresh 12 hourly. But it seems to wake up 15 times overnight. Can I change this somehow?

Also, what are the GTALK services listed below?

I will have a go at optimising the maps app too.

Cheers

Better turn off auto-sync of email/acconts completely. I prefer manual sync, as I can control when and how often to sync.

GTALK is a kind of collective wakelock for all system/Google internet connections. So it must not be Talk app itself.

Good luck !

Hi There

I have a galaxy s2 on Vodafone Ireland ICS firmware. I use Go Launcher.

In the last week my battery life has gone from fine to extreemly poor.

Usage habits: Weekdays in work i would use K9 email and various surfing, always have WiFi on. Unplug from charger at 7am, and still usually have 20% battery by 11pm.

Weekends i would unplug as usual at 7am and usually get the entire weekend out of it, like 5% 11pm on Sunday night

I do charge it on a car charger if i need to get power due to abnormal heavy usage.

I have no Exchange accounts, as i found recently that my exchange account was killing the battery due to a malformed email i could not identify. I removed exchange. Have Gmail standard client and POP through K9. Both are set to manual sync.

I use go launcher, and it is set to autoupdate on wifi

Currently i have 25% battery at 13:50pm after unplugging and light usage since 7am.

I am seriously considering a firmware upgrade to CM9 or CM10

Thank you for taking the time to look at this dump file

Ok the tests are in.

I did a "short" test with the 3 points above applied.

http://pastebin.com/YUbiHbvm

It shocked me that I still lost that much "l2_hsic" became even worse.

At night I redid the same test but used my mobile connection instead of my wifi, the difference is really amazing.

http://pastebin.com/P8LzV55W

I removed the battery before I started the test, but when my phone rebooted it seemed that my date and time had been reset to factory default...

So I had to correct that, that explains the screen time of 2min.

At night I'll re-do the test but then with a newer battery and hopefully the time doesn't reset then...:cowboy:

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

Since your drain cannot be explained by your overhead(only 1 hour) I strongly recommend to check whether your ril is matching (getril app) and probably change your baseband (ki4) furthermore switch your kernel to phenomenal or speedmod.

Then post another dump.

The good thing is, you will be rooted anyway afterwards.

Hi,

Can someone help me with my dumpfile? Since a week or 2 I have major battery drain and that without any new app installed or change of use of my phone.

I could get a day a half with GPS, mobile internet and NFC constantly ON, and now everything turned off and I can't get through the day... So I did some research and I came to this topic.

I made a dump file and a few screenshots, to help me determine where the problem is coming from.

First some basic: I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 international version with stock ROM and never been rooted before.

How you guys can help me out

Guys, should we create a GDrive spreadsheet where we categorize autostarts in red, yellow and green? Don't turn off, turn off on your own risk and safe to turn off.

I think it would be a great source of reference and could easily be linked for the mob.
[BetterBatteryStats] arqsha:
It might happen, that Sven will include the reference list to the app itself, so people could see what to and how to do :) I think spreadsheet is a good temporary solution, thou.:good: Or it may be easier to teach people how to read a dump. That't not difficult at all.

battery drain

Here is the dump from BBS.

My phone acts strange. When i let it charge and it reaches 96-97% it jumps all the way up to 100%. After i unplug it, battery drops verry fast to like 85-86 %, and android os is on top of the consumers. In bbs android gsf has most of wakeups with :intent: com.google.android.intent.action.mcs_heartbeat. As you can see from the dump i have a custom kernel. I changed it thinking that is stock kernel fault. Is there anything that can be done or my battery is dying?
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Your battery stats looking quite good :good:

Maybe you should try to wipe battery stats in CWM recovery ... if you've got the option to do it.

Or charge the battery while phone is turned off, then unplug the charger, pull out the battery, wait for about 2 minutes, put the battery back into the phone and boot the phone.

Hope this can help to get more reliable battery stats.

If not, then you may test with another battery.

Good luck !

[BetterBatteryStats] arqsha:
Not saying I'm a professor in this field but, on my opinion, you gave a proper log. I can see phone was sort of untouched for 8 hours and this I can tell about the wakelocks:

1) light flow lite gives really weird info, so it might be a good idea to disable or freeze that one. Or keep it and check later if problem persists.

2) Ebay - try to find if you can get rid of notifications from it. Otherwise, need to freeze when don't use it.

3) Maps - check here for some instructions.

4) Try to use manual synchronization for justpictures to reduce wakelocks. However, 30 is not a bad number for 8h. Could be better, thou.

5) Google plus - of you got instant upload, good idea would be to set it for pic/video upload only on Wifi when charging. In this case you will never fill that happening :)

There can be more to adjust. Start with those, maybe? Then go for next dump ;)
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
1) I've disabled Light Flow. I've never been crazy about how it functioned.

2) Ebay had an auto-search saved. I'm looking for something very specific, but I don't want to have to remember to look. It should only be going off once a day, but I've disabled it now.

3) The problem with the Maps instructions is that it basically demands you sacrifice using Foursquare, Gas Buddy, Yelp, and any local weather widgets that require knowing where you are to work; things like Google Now's traffic alerts, etc. That's too much to give up. I've already shut off the things that report location in Google apps, though those are so scattered around in system settings and individual apps. I don't use Latitude.

I just don't get why it's constantly polling in the background. It's too bad it doesn't have some sort of IF/THEN logic tied to the gyroscope which would shut everything off when it's not moving like when it's sitting on a table for the night.

4) I wasn't aware Just Pictures was doing anything in the background to sync. Killed that noise right quick. Thanks for that alert. (It's a shame about that app. I used it to access my Flickr and Facebook, but the latter got broken and despite MONTHS of 1-star reviews, it hasn't been updated. The dev is either dead or doesn't care about his app anymore. I haven't found a comparable replacement. Bother.)

5) I don't actively use Google+ and I'd already shut off auto-upload. The apps that I'm aware of that do upload are set to either wait for wifi or to be charging.

The Maps thing bugs me the most. My Nexus 7 frequently shows Maps as the top power hog even though I'm rarely use them. It just runs itself. Lame.
[BetterBatteryStats] arqsha:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

About the maps, you can always just disable auto starts as shown and then reduce wake locks by half at least :)

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

Okay, here you go, let's start with the basics.. First get rooted... otherwise it's hard to give you advice without letting you uninstall certain apps...

Since you are on a gs3 I vote for speedmod kernel if you want a working user experience out of the box. Later some more advantages....

After you are rooted, get an app which allows you to control auto start behavior (Gemini for free or autostarts* or autorun manager)

As soon as installed, disable all autostarts for maps, eBay and "cut the rope".. if this is a game which wakes your device... i would check what it its doing... go for airpush detector... weird..

Now, sign out all location based services, especially latitude. If you need it for weather, just tick use wireless networks, will fit your needs.

Okay, what else, let's talk about advantages of rooting, your cpu jumps straight from zero to full power which is unnecessary and causes drain. A custom kernel will avoid that, if configured right.

Furthermore you can check the root features of bbs to provide more information to us to identify your strainer.

All done? Post another dump :D

Good luck!

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

Gemini seems to not work reliably anymore.

Autostart manager seems nice, but some things didn't work for me either.

Autorun manager is free now, with ads. I've tested it and it is my favorite now. Everything worked and it seems to be actively developed. I recommend it.
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

What's not reliable about Gemini? I didn't go with Autostarts because it wasn't free and hasn't been updated since Nov. 2011 and it's touting ICS support. Never heard of the other one.
[BetterBatteryStats] xelra:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

I wasn't talking about autostarts. All the ones I mentioned are free.

I felt the same way about autostarts that you do. Not because of the price, but because it's not developed anymore.

Have you checked if your Gemini disabled autostarts are really disabled? In many cases they were just shown disabled for me with Gemini.
[BetterBatteryStats] DirkBelig:
Re: [APP][2.1+][05 Jan. - V1.12RC6] BetterBatteryStats

Thing is, I wasn't aware of all the Maps autostart stuff in the first place. I don't know if this is a permanent sign, but I put my phone on the charge with 40% left after 20 hours and over 2 hours screen time, something I have NEVER been remotely close to. If it doesn't stick, I'll try the other app you've recommended. Thank you.
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Hello,

Yes Gemini is not reliable at all. Most of times it says disabled but in reality the settings are not disabled. AUTOSTARTS is quite good but yes it is paid and it also has some issues like for example I am just not able to disable the After startup autostart for Google play store.

Autorun manager i have not tried. I will just try it out for my Play store autostarting. :)

secril_fd-interface

Hi, I tried to find more info on this question I have, but couldn't find anything. So I was reading this post http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html and when I was running betterbatterystats I did indeed have the secril_fd-interface wakelock showing up under kernel wakelocks. So does this mean I should disable fast dormancy or not? It is not very clear to me... I also contacted my provider, but they have no idea what I was talking about... So, if I understand this right, it means : If I see a secril_fd-interface wakelock, it means myprovider does NOT support fast dormancy, right?

Your main wakelocks IMO are:

com.seesmic.Seesmic

Google+

com.fsck.k9.K-9 Mail

Maps

NetworkLocationLocator (Have you disbaled all location service options?!)

com.vito.lux.free.Lux Free

com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.BeautifulWidgets

Options to optimize are: Unistall what you don't need, disable/freeze what you don't really need every day, or try to change auto-update/fresh/sync settings to manual and/or with larger interval.

Reboot the phone after disconnecting USB cable to reduce l2_hsic kernel wakelock.

Use gokhanmoral's Fast Dormancy app from Play store to change the FD setting on your phone, as you have "secril_fd-interface" wakelocks.

Disable autorefresh on Accuweather too.

Good luck !

BeautifulWidgets

Facebook

And Groupon generate some alarms.

[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
There are some small wakelocks and alarms to be optimizes, such as:

MAIL_SERVICE (com.android.exchange.Exchange services): Change the accounts/emails to pull/pop3 with manual sync.

MediaScannerService: Reduce the number of files on the sd card(s). Sometimes backup all files, format external sd card and copy the files back can reduce the wakelock.

com.google.android.apps.maps.Maps: In post #3 is the link to Karpfenhai's description of how to "optimize" Maps.

factory.widgets.ThreeDDigitalWeatherClock.3D Digital Weather Clock: Maybe you can change the update/refresh interval.

FaceDetectionService: Disable face detection, just to see its influence to your battery life.

GpsLocationProvider: Disable all location service options.

But the bad battery life could also be caused by something else ... maybe your friend should flash another modem file.

There are some wakelocks for the phone/RIL.

Is the battery life better when wifi is on and running all the time?

Good luck !

EDIT:

Casanoaa was faster ... again ...

Yes, something holds up the mobile data connection.

Check the behaviour when on wifi all the time and report back.
[BetterBatteryStats] siscim23:
bam_dmux_wakelock is related to something keeping the network connection alive. It could be caused by many things, but because exchange services is at the top of wakelocks, I would suggest changing the mail fetching to manual if it isn't already, or increasing the polling time. The notification LED also seems to be waking up the phone a bit.
