I would agree with this. There is no real wake problem that is causing too much trouble (just a couple of incidents). You could also have turned off your WiFi whilst your screen was off.

Do you know how much power your device is using during sleep? From the slope of your battery graph, it looks like it is well above 2-10mA. If you install Battery Monitor Widget from the Market, it will tell you what power you are using. Once you have sorted your drain problem out, you can uninstall the widget.
[BetterBatteryStats] desean:
if i recall correctly, the drain is normal if wifi is on throughout.

i remember when i was draining my battery for calibration, leaving the wifi on overnight for around 8 hours took the battery down by around 20%. plus my wifi signal isn't maximum due to a thick wall between the router and my SGS2 :D
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
In that case I meant "Use wireless networks" as my transformer has nothing except wifi. Interesting if this confirms would be to see if there is a difference whether wifi is allowed to scan for open access points or not.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
You are right, the ideal state of your phone whould be "asleep". As you may have noticed on the graphs your phone is not keeping that state as there are many "awake" times.

Now if you read the how-to you will see how to proceed to find out what's wrong: by checking partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks.

If you need help interpreting those please feel free to post a file dump.
[BetterBatteryStats] dirtyreturn:
If I knew how to do that I would definitely attach it for you. I only get upload from camera/gallery. How do you post an attachment? This would be my first time. Edit - sorry for this question.
[BetterBatteryStats] yhrn:
I had "Use wireless networks" enabled the whole day today and as soon as I had wifi enabled NetworkLocationPassiveCollector started popping up again and stopped as soon as I disabled wifi. So it seems that the theory still holds. Maybe the drain becomes more apparent when there are a lot of different wifi networks around (which is the case for me)?

The annoying thing is that the "Use wireless networks" setting on my SGS2 controls both location from nearby wifi networks and location from cell towers. I would like to disable the former and keep the latter without disabling wifi altogether but I can't come up with a way to do that.

And to make things even more annoying I think you can't control the "Use wireless networks" with Tasker. Otherwise I would have disabled it as soon as I was connected to a wifi network and enabled it again as soon as wifi got disabled.
[BetterBatteryStats] xflowy:
hey man! so today, i first used the phone at home with wifi enabled as usual and got big drain due to "networklocation". since a few hours i disabled wifi completely (some time i was out of house, now at home again) and the drain issue seems to be gone almost - only some seconds!

ah and in wifi settings, the whole time it was set to never sleep!

what does that mean for you? :)

thanks man!
[BetterBatteryStats] dirtyreturn:
so, chamonix, if you could take a look i would appreciate it. I'm not sure how to makw sense of. it all
[BetterBatteryStats] demonwind:
Hi guys,

I have a Skyrocket and I read the forum and froze all the bloatware but I've still been noticing a bunch of random wakelocks (though they used to take 50% battery overnight, now it's more like 10%, which is still too high for me). The culprit for me is "Event Log Service" and possibly also "Event Log Handoff," both are Google Services. Anyone know how to remove these? A phone that is in sleep mode should not drain any battery at all, ideally.

Also, I do not need Gmail for my email, only for marketplace. So would it be okay to freeze gmail?
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
maps 6.0.2 rolling out with announced Bugfixes (no real changelog). I'd be interested in knowing if there is any positive effect
[BetterBatteryStats] wadokai:
Hey man,

I removed both facebook and kik.

This is messed, even with my setcpu settings, and using my screen less..battery still dying.

Attached is BBS and some screenshots of battery usage

Thanks for your help!
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Don't lose patience. Your log shows another problem now and I consider it normal that optimization of those kind goes a few rounds.

Your problem in this run is definitely mail push with k9. It seems you have a lot of folders (they are all listed) syncing with push. There are a few options to fix this:

- if all those folders are not required to sync you can limit the folders (or the level) you want to sync in your settings

- if it's like you need it you should try to move part of those folders to pull and lower the frequency

My personal experience with k9 with my layout (multiple flat inboxes on different account, one delivering multiple hundreds of mails a day) is that the pull configuration is more battery saving than push. This of course is only valid for me and should not be taken as a general advice
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
To be precise:

a phone in deep sleep always has a low energy footprint. Wakelocks and wakeups cause a higher battery drain because the phone has its screen off but does not go/stay to/into deep sleep.

To you EventLog problem. You could search the thread as this problem has been discussed many times. Unfortunately it's known to be a side effect that we could not pin down precisely. I'd suggest going through you apps/services and disable them one by one or batchwise. Are some point you will discover the one causing the side effect
[BetterBatteryStats] demonwind:
I went Rambo and started disabling everything I don't use, so far no side effects. Will see how the battery life turns out tomorrow.

I really shouldn't have to fight my phone to get decent battery life.
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Can please advise as to how i can improve further here?

My Awake is always higher then Screen On. I do not have any auto sync, no Wifi nor 3G? or is this OK. in the meantime i am going through the rest of the posts. Thanks for the help in advance.

Please see BBS also attached. Sorry but being a noob, I am going through it but since being totally new to all this please help me as to how to improve my battery usage.
[BetterBatteryStats] Ardito:
Updated this morning, and till now "NetworkLocationPassiveCollector" wakelock has 1 Count for 4s activity. Before the update it could be measured in hours...

In my case, for now, the issue is solved.
[BetterBatteryStats] cokewins:
I tried searching the thread, but got no results. Does anyone know what SMD_DATA5 wakelock is? About a week ago it started keeping my phone awake 100% and now my battery dies in a few hours.

NOTE: I did not provide the BBS dump in the hopes that this is a simple answer. I will post it if requested.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
even if the time of the sample is far too short to tell anything definitive partial wakelocks tell us where the problems are. I bet once you have provided a representative reading I will be able to confirm that 3G watchdog, maps 6.x together with wifi and IMAP push with k9 are your top drainers
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Dear chamonix,

Thanks for the response. I am going to test completely from today evening and will give you good measured data, so that you can help me out.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
hard to tell without context. What rom / kernel, what did you change? looking at google results I'd say it's low level but you don't give us much to help you
[BetterBatteryStats] yhrn:
9 wake-ups and 37 seconds in a bit over 5 hours of wifi enabled since the upgrade so it's looking much better so far. Not convinced yet though as I have had a spell of a couple of days without seeing the wakelock at all on 6.0.1 and then it came back.

Will report back in a couple of days about this (or earlier if it comes back).
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Dear chamonix,

Please find data attached of about 9.5 hrs out of which for 6.3 hrs my phone was in sleep during night but still I lost 7% Overnite and also my phone awake bar is full during that time. Hence request you to guide as to what is I am doing wrong.
[BetterBatteryStats] timeshiftt:
Actually I didn't change the modem. In fact I changed the original one that came with the ROM but not the modem that I was using when I first sent you the dump. Well I don't use Google apps besides play store, keep and play music. What I do use is "Push notification fixer" which I suspect may be doing the system eat all the battery.
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
Do you have any idea why this would happen across multiple networks.

Also I'm perplexed as to the time of day it happens, Usually the drain is slow on a morning at the exact same tower as the heavy drain appears later in the afternoon?
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
It could be the case. Please apply this mod.

Late afternoon Cell chatter goes up. That causes connectivity issues particularly for CDMA. (Dunno what you have). This post has a bunch of build.prop tweaks. Try them to see if that makes a difference.
[BetterBatteryStats] r0cafella:
Thanks for the info it's appreciated.

I'm on Vodafone in the UK but also had the problem On T-Mobile as well.

It's funny I don't recall having this issue prior to 4.4.2

I Hope this is the cause but as the issue also happened overnight at my girlfriends on a couple of occassions i'm becoming concerned.
[BetterBatteryStats] timeshiftt:
Will do that. But do you know what else I can do to improve screen usage time? I'm already using the saving profile in Apolo JB.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
Please post an Overnight IDLE report after applying that mod and rebooting.

[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
Camera 360 seems to wake a lot trying to upload. Also there seem to be signal issues as you predicted.

[BetterBatteryStats] Inane_Asylum:
Thanks. Gonna deselect g+ from sync list and see what happens.
[BetterBatteryStats] karvek:
Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I hope to be in the right place.

Recently I switched my GT i9300 from Sammy 4.1.2 official firmware to Carbon Rom (nightly 20131028) 4.3.1 based and Googy-Max kernel 1.8.0 and I'm facing some battery problems. I don't have any "big kernel tweaks" rather than the Touch-to-wake option and Discrete Wakelock Stats.

To be honest I had similar problem with CyanogenMod 10.2 and 11 (before definitively switching to Carbon) so I started to think that should be something related to AOSP based roms.

In addition I realized (although it's difficult to prove it by tech reports) that if I put the phone in Airplane mode and put Wifi On the battery leaking seems to be less so maybe there is some issue with the Modem (should be XXEMC2) but I am not really sure and this is the reason why I'm posting here trying to get some help by some Android experts.

My usual situation is Sync off (and then Tasker every 1h keep Sync on for 5 minutes between 8 and 00) and I don't have any app freezed with Greenify. Plus I've not changed anything with startup manager so it is everything as usual. Localization is on (without GPS) and Google apps can access the position but I'm not reporting my position.

What seems to be really annoying is the "l2_hsic" wakelock together with the "wlan_wake". Sometimes i have the 'multipdp' wakelock when I use 3g and I already have Fast dormancy disabled thanks to Fast Dormancy Toggle.

I've attached two pictures of the standard battery app (sorry for the Italian language) just to show that seems to be no real difference between active/deep sleep or if the screen is off or not.

I hope that someone can help me here.

Hi, just Googled this thread. Can anyone help me with alarm wakeup locator wakelock shown under Alarms since unplugged. Com.google.android.gms

[BetterBatteryStats] keeekeeess:
DPRAM is the biggest problem when it comes to kernel wakelocks for me.

I read that DPRAM is related to the modem somehow.

I keep my phone near the speakers and I can hear the speakers making the distinc sound (the one you get before a call / using mobile data connection) very often, like the phone is searching for network / comunicating with the network.

I have a good 2G signal all the time, so it's not signal loss and I also had the same problem with DPRAM when using the previous ROM.

I also see some mmc0/1/2_detect wakelocks even though I removed my SD card.

ROM : CyanogenMod 11.0 by ADC-Team - Beta 3 (ION) - Kernel 3.4.77

PREVIOUS ROM : CyanogenMod 10.1 by ADC-Team - Release 2 (ION) - Kernel 3.4.75
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Sorry mate, but your main issues are:

(In that order)

- location service

- sync activity

- Google quick search

- exchange service

- Facebook

L2_hsic and stuff are just further symptoms, but your culprit it's above, bring them down first.

[BetterBatteryStats] whitey.germany:
And get rid of the Camera360. I got this as free version for a long time, but since the last update this turned into a battery sucker and causing wakelocks. After the last update my battery went from 21% to 5% within 2 hours. No more trust in this piece of software.

Edit: Oh, just saw Perseus stated this also.... So there may be some truth in it :)
[BetterBatteryStats] coolacrille:
Can someone tell me what the *backup* wakelock is? If I can get rid of it then I'll have eliminated all the battery killers :)
[BetterBatteryStats] cloudspine:
Thanks, I've finally removed Camera 360, as I had noticed even earlier that it keeps running persistently in the background. I've also tried freezing UCCW to see if that helps. Unfortunately, this hasn't changed anything...

I'll try upgrading the ROM later today, and installing a custom kernel to see if that helps...
[BetterBatteryStats] deckard0273:
No lucky with modem change:(

I've already tried in the past plenty of modem with relevant ril but it doesn't change anything.

I don't like removing functionalities but for the sake of testing:

- Sync is off

- Facebook, Exchange syncs are set to never

- Google now is off

- Location service is off (either in system and google settings)

Still 2.7%/h drain that seems really unreasonable to me.

I attach this 1h dump :)
[BetterBatteryStats] whitey.germany:
Seems like the Facebook app does a lot of stuff. I see one more program, that is obsolete: MyTracks. That might not be much, but there is a hell lot of things going on with your phone.

Do you know Greenify? Try it and put the Facebook app and all other possible things from your dump e.g. MyTracks to hibernate. See if this helps.

Hello.

I done what you said with BBS (root acces + system app).

I will post two more logs with normal phone usage and one log with 8h idle, which was overnight. I saw that my phone sat awake 5h, and in deepsleep 3h, while screen-on was 2h.... I really can't see what is wrong with my device/software :(

I'd apreaciate your help. Thanks.

[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
That's Android taking a backup to Google Server. Typically its very low. It rears up only when you have signal issues.

I see sync but not where its a concern. Can you post an idle log overnight with Location service off, Wireless off ? Reboot beforehand.

Please attach the log here. I can't access (firewall issues).
[BetterBatteryStats] Nightshadow931:
Here it is.
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
From the Overnight Log, -

Google Play probably was updating apps. It wanted your location. So please turn off Location Service as it chewed up for ~7 minutes. Also please follow [MENTION=4355376]Karpfenhai[/MENTION] 's advice from here. You will need System Tuner App from Play Store.

Do you have Chatty devices such as printers on your Wireless network ? Can you issue static IP to the phone ? Yahoo Mail is the second culprit in keeping the phone awake. Please reduce its Sync Frequency to on demand if possible.

Use Kill Media Server App from Play Store. Facebook has been very busy. Please use their mobile website and remove the app. 3G watchdog has been busy as well. If you can update to Android 4.3, it has the same function as the watchdog built in. Please follow [MENTION=4355376]Karpfenhai[/MENTION]'s modification linked above.

I've disabled all receivers of Google Play Service and Service Framework and now it doesn't show up in Alarm anymore! But I'm getting Android and Phone alarm wakelocks, how do I reduce or prevent it?
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
That's caused by possible delays in tower lock. Toggle Airplane mode on briefly and it will reset.

I did see one GCM entry in the wakelocks. Not a big deal but you might have missed unchecking one checkmark somewhere/
[BetterBatteryStats] Lither:
Do you mean turn on Airplane Mode and turn if off again?

I used AutoRun Manager and clicked on Google Play Service and Service Framework and it disabled all and I double checked it as well, is there any more receivers I should disable to reduce the alarms?

That's the guide I used, disabled all Play Service and Service Framework receiver and greenified both along side with Play Store, there seems to be no more I could do to save more battery, will just have to let them alarms appear
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
The Tick alarms are benign by themselves. When some rogue app decides to ask for the ticks every second, it balloons up. You may want to investigate which app is causing this. Or perhaps it may be your rom.
[BetterBatteryStats] Lither:
I'll charge my phone up to 100% and use it until 1-2% and will post back BBS log and Alarm dump file using ADB,
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
The ADB Dump is tedious to read. BBS alone will suffice.
[BetterBatteryStats] coolacrille:
Thanks so much! That makes sense, I live in a concrete apartment complex and signal is not at all optimal..
[BetterBatteryStats] Lither:
Is there a way or app which identifies which app is causing the tick alarms?
[BetterBatteryStats] Perseus:
You can use any of the debug apps if you are so inclined. Otherwise analyze Process tab along with all the entries under Android System in Alarms.

Take a log after Overnight Idle usage with Data Off and Wireless on.
[BetterBatteryStats] sorcio46:
Did anyone here notice the fact that even if I remove the permission to call a Wakelock in Android 4.4 App Ops., some service of that app will still be running when the screen is off? I've seen this thing trying not to disable some GMC and FB services, but only by unselecting that voice in the list.

Any news about the "partial wakelock with incomplete list" issue while using CM11.0, I've already send a bugreport to chamonix about it.

Anyway, I made some months ago a full guide regarding alarms and wakelock + while using BBS on my blog, and now I am making video tutorials about it. It was made in italian, there is someone interested in this kind of contents in English?

I actually live in Switzerland and so I changed the modem according to this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2585670 and the APN name according to the Orange technical help (online available). In addition I discovered that Fast Dormancy is supported by Orange so I enabled it again. I disabled NFC as it was on (while GPS is always off), I uninstalled Facebook and disabled any push/notification service and every sync in any of the system/user apps that I have installed.

I prevented some user apps (around 60%) from startup thanks to startup manager but I still not have greenified anything because I have the feeling that the battery leak is a kernel related problem and I would like to get rid of this before going to optimize the battery app by app.

Overnight dump is attached to this post.

Thanks to anyone helping :)
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
"Hide" is a tag you can use to put long content (such as pics) into a section expand and collapse.

Just write the HIDE tags before and after the content you want to place into the section:

[HIDE]Long text or pictures[/HIDE]

And it should look like this:

Long text or pictures

From a first look at your screenshots, you main culprits are YOUR TAG, Google+, Groupon and your EMail app.

So uninstall/disable what you don't really need, greenify what doesn't have to run in the background and check the app settings to disable auto-updates, auto-sync, etc.

But you can get better advices when providing an IDLE dump of BBS.
[BetterBatteryStats] coolacrille:
Would you call this bad signal to the extent that *backup* would become an issue? No other reason it would be waking the device?
