Since your setup seems quite perfect now, its time to get rid of Siyah ;)

..at least for 2 days as a test.. Go for Phenomenal Kernel (try medium first) if you are not on AOSP /AOKP Rom. Second change your modem, try Ki3 , Kh3, Ki4 or bvlp7. You will be amazed about the difference!

This cause is really hard to find, post a dump and a logcat if possible, thx!

Your Dump does not show the full picture, i guess you unplugged right before idling?

But from what i can see, your Sync activity is too high, try to reduce that.

Second, Your Calendar is doing too much (imho) maybe you can try an alternative (Jorte)?

Last, post another dump with a custom ref to see the real drain.

regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] jerverg:
Oh i see. Thank you so much. I'll try doing it the right way. So I need to unplug it right after going idle?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Normally you unplug and you go idle, BUT, due to Battery Chemistry the charge increases further even after unplugging, sometimes up to 3 %, therefore the drain value might be corrupted.

Here is an example:

To prevent this, set a custom ref, (not right after charging) go idle and post the dump since custom ref afterwards.

have fun ;)

I'm trying to understand how network stats works. I've blocked some apps throught a firewall and BBS still listing that app in the network section. Are those valued related to the traffic blocked (ex. packets sent but blocked by the firewall) ? Is this causing multipdp wakelock ?
[BetterBatteryStats] jerverg:
Thank you so much dude for taking the time to explain. Now I understand.

usb_connection

Hello all :) I have a problem with my LG Optimis Black P970 ICS 4.0.4 Kernel 3.0.8. It s battarry drain. Same problem i had on prevous firmwares. Very interesting what is the process "usb_connection" that mostly keep awake phone. Can you help me? Thank you very much.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
First, clear chache and dalvik, reboot.

If issue persist, do the following:

Install Gemini or Autostarts, then:

Go to Google Services Framework
∟Disable autoruns for:
- Checkin.EventLogService$Receiver
- CheckinService$TriggerReceiver
- CheckinService$Receiver
- CheckinService$SecretCodeReceiver

Maybe Market purchase will fail afterwards, but the Issue should disappear.

Good luck!

Hmm, i have no clue for LG devices, but maybe its the way the implement the Wifi Chip (USB), since the total time is smaller as your screen on time it could be normal then (will do some research later).

Here the instructions, turn off wifi, take another but clean idle dump, post it again, good luck!

EDIT: 2 possible solutions, 1st. disable USB Debugging --> reboot, 2nd (more likely) push your USB connector pin slightly back to the center.

Please report ;)

How to check what wakes up my phone

Hi,

I updated yesterday to JB 4.2 and I have noticed that now my phone wakes up randomly: no pattern actually, simply the screen turns on with no apparent reason.

This happens also when wi-fi, 3G and sync is off.

I bought this app as itw as suggested to me it's the best one to investigate what's the issue, problem is the app is very complicated ;)

So my question for the moment is: what exactly do I have to do tonight before going to bed (and leave my phone untouched for a few hours) to be able to provide the necessary and correct dump? and which dump is it needed?

From what I understood reading, I think I shloud do the following:

- turn off 3g, wifi and sync

- plug/unplug the charger

- leave the phone alone 1-4 hours

- save a dump and check that the chapters "Kernel wakelocks" and "alarms" (if you have root) are populated

- Post the dump as attachement

Now it is also written that a dump "since unplugged" is better than "since charged", but how do i choose which dump to save? From the menu I only have DUMP TO FILE.

thanks for the help
[BetterBatteryStats] JokerAce:
Thanks, I am trying the BVLP7. :)
[BetterBatteryStats] krayndr:
I cant see those lines in Gemini
[BetterBatteryStats] killian32:
At the top of the screen, below the title bar, you can find two buttons. One is related to the aspect that you like to investigate (Kernel WakeLocks, PartialWake Locks ...) and the other one is for the stats type (Since Charged, Since Unplugged ..) Select Since Unplugged and then "Dump to file".
[BetterBatteryStats] thegios:
ok done...

I have:

- turned wifi, 3g and sync off

- rebooted phone

- plugged in phone

- unplugged phone

- turned off device

... waiting ...

- the display turned on 2 or 3 times (not sure about 3rd one)

- when eventually my wife called, I have made a "since unplugged" dump, taken some screenshots and uploaded them here

I am not sure how to read the screenshots...

The "Alarms" one shows some wakeups for some apps, but for sure the screen was not on for so many times, only 2 or 3 times...

Hope that someone can help
[BetterBatteryStats] fischerben:
Thank you for your help

now i have done it and made a dump file, i think it looks better. bu this means that i can't have location turned on?

[BetterBatteryStats] seanpr123:
killian32 answered the dump question.

One thing I'd like to ask, did you do a FULL wipe when upgrading to JB? It is technically a major release change and not fulling wiping in your recovery can cause issues (not always but sometimes).

I would say your plan sounds solid. Turning off all the unnecessary running processes gives you a good idea of what direction to head after you get your first log.

I can't say I've ever heard of a screen turning on related to your ROM source. Sounds more like a notification from SMS or the like, have you installed any new applications?
[BetterBatteryStats] thegios:
a few more things to clarify...

- It was not an upgrade from ICS to JB, but an OTA from JB4.1.2 to 4.2

- I did a cache clean (including dalvik) from CWM after upgrade

- No new app installed at all

- I am not the only one having this problem: there are at least 4 or 5 threads in Gnex forum open on this, and some of these people have done a scratch install from a stock rom

- No notifications, no sound, nothing: the screen goes on and then off

I have uploaded a dump + screenshots a couple of posts above ;)
[BetterBatteryStats] xelra:
I can see nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe "twl6030 adc", do you know what it is?

Since the activity is very low you might want to take a dump over a time frame of 8 to 10 hours.

1% battery loss just isn't enough. The consumption indicator might be off and contribute a big error.

Anyway, if it really is 0.7% per hour, that would give you a standby battery time of 143 hours, about 6 days.

Are you unsatisfied with that?
[BetterBatteryStats] thegios:
well no, my problem is not standby time (at night with wifi off, 3g off and sync off, only 2g on, I get a 1% discharge rate per hour)

my problem is to find out why after OTA upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2 the phone is now randomly waking up without a reason

btw, have no Idea what "twl6030 adc" is, will try to find out

EDIT: seems to be an OMAP api, some API for the processor
[BetterBatteryStats] killian32:
I got a problem like this before and it was a program that used air push. Try a scan with AdFree or similar.

Just a guess.
[BetterBatteryStats] thegios:
u mean AdFree the program that blocks ads in apps?
[BetterBatteryStats] killian32:
Sorry I mean AirPush Detector (it's free on Google Play)
[BetterBatteryStats] thegios:
nothing detected...

I will let bbs run overnite and will upload a new dumpo 2morrow morning...

in the meantime any othet idea or app I can use to detect what is waking up my phone with no apparent reason?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Yeah, this one looks waaaayyyy better :D

Nope, it does mean you need to use another location service, altitude per example, take a look at the market.

Good luck.

Unfortunately you're right, Gemini does not have such a fine "resolution"

Adapt this:

Oe use autostarts and disable this:

[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Blocking traffic would lead the app to try over and over again and should be the worst way to try reducing awake/wakeups. Whether the traffic is counted or not depends on the level your firewall is set, BBS takes its stats from the kernel traffic stats
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Just a little update before you guys start believing that I am getting lazy ;) Besides moving my home over some 700Km (that was my project for the last 8 weeks) I have done a bunch of refactoring in preparation of two features:

- time freeze (finished, testing right now)

- new from/to concept for references (to = current by default but can be changed). This is key to lots of new things like "while at was my project for screen was off" or "during last hour" stats

I have to finish and do some cleanup but the fundament is finished and I may release a first 1.12B1 with only a few features to let you guys do some serious regression testing as that refactoring was pretty heavy. Looking at the vote table I may add #274 to B1 straight away together with a few no-brainers.

As always, your comments are welcome
[BetterBatteryStats] JokerAce:
Thanks, it really fell into the 1% range. Now I am left with the kernel to tackle I suppose :cyclops:

wake_lock_init(&audio_voip_info.suspend_lock, WAKE_LOCK_SUSPEND,
"audio_mvs_suspend");
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Please avoid posting the dumpfile, an attachement is sufficient and make the thread easier to read.

Your phone is rooted so I suggest hat you enable the root features and repost a dumpfile so we can look into the alarms.
[BetterBatteryStats] Pinan:
I am. SparePhone. But I have not seen this wakelock before. First day/night on Slim ROM.

I did reboot and fix permissions, which seems to have "fixed" it though. I'll know tonight.

Yeah. Funny though that it happened for the first time. At any rate, seems OK now.

Another one for future User searches.

i9003 Drain on CM10

Hi All

I am using an i9003 (galaxy SL) running CM10 alpha 3 (AOKP).

Been facing ~7% drain per hour. This is with wifi on and with 3G on its even less.

I have attached the BBS dump here and I notice that there is a wake time of 44m against a screen on of just 2 mins.

Not sure as to why this is happening :(

Wakelocks are from Gmaps I think. I have tried to disable all network location services but this improved usage from 7% to 5.5% per hour.

I am expecting ~1-2% drain per hour tops.

Please help. Thanks in advance.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Mate, didn't you forget to attach something? :p Like a dumpfile?
[BetterBatteryStats] Allchemistic:
USB Debugging was not turned on, but in any case i have turned on and then off it and reboot. I push USB connector pin slightly back to the center, do you think it may be caused by short circuit in usb connector?

Thank you for your reply. I have taken new dump. But problem is same. I think any battery drain issue is caused by working proccessor on minimal frequence without sleeping. In my case the "usb_connection" dont allow that processor go to deep sleep mode. And i think it is a part of kernel so not possible to find this process.

I forgot say that my usb connection work unstable. If simply connect phone to usb then writing usb device is not recognized and phone dont respond any way on it. I need go to hidden menu / ap cp usb switching and turn on AP usb mode then begin to work. Sorry for my English. Thank you =)
[BetterBatteryStats] Rob1965:
Hi all,

I post once again here because after a week I cannot get rid of the battery drain issues afftecting my new Samsung Galaxy Advance (I9070), unrooted and with the stock firmware (branded - H3G Italy).

In order to reduce the possible causes:

I performed a factory, reset WITHOUT enabling any location based service (I never launched Google Maps too!)

I installed only a minimal set of apps (BetterBatteryStats. Battery Indicator, Yahoo mail, WhatsApp)

I updated the stocks apps (all but Google Maps)

I did not configure the standard email apps (in order to avoid any MS Exchange related sync issue)

The first tests were performed using my home WiFi network (see WiFi.log), and they seemed satisfactory:

minimal drain: 0,8%/hour

Deep sleep 94%

However, in the test performed over the night with 3G connectivity (we usually switch off our WiFi during the night) the battery drain issues came out again (see 3G log):

high battery drain: 6,3%/hour

Deep sleep: 92.9%

The phone always remained in the same room, where we have a good H3G signal. Partial wakelocks do not seem, at least to my understanding, so critical. Kernel wakelocks are much higher (especially svnet and radio interface) but I do not know if these values are pathological or inside a normal range.

Now I do not understand if:

the 6.3% battery drain in 3G could be “normal” for this phone, but I don't think so because in the same condtions my HTC Desire drains only 2,5%/h

the issue may be app based (but which of them?)

the issue could be hw/fw related and it should be solved by Samsung Service (I do not have root!)

I contacted Samsung Service and at the present time they are not aware of any battery drain related issue in this model, but if I send them the phone they will reinstall the firmware (the SAME firmware??). However, it would take about 20 working days to have it back.

I really need your help to have a better understanding of the attached logs and your great experience in discerning the root causes of this behaviour. I would like to avoid to send it to Samsung for 20 days and getting it back in same conditions, at least I wanna be sure it is something they should deal with.

Thank you very much in advance!

[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
In your case i would recommend to search in your device's Modem thread for a known as battery friendly Baseband, then flash it or just try the different version until you find one which fits your expectations.
[BetterBatteryStats] Rob1965:
Thank you for your quick reply!

As previously stated, unfortunately I do not have root permissions and therefore I cannot flash a different Baseband modem. It would be quite difficult to explain, but the contract with my network operator does not allow me to get root permission (and, in any case, to would affect Samsung warranty), because I still do not "own" the phone.

Current baseband modem is I9070NELH2 and kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9070NELH2-CL1181619 dpi@DELL168 #2.

Anyway, from your answer I understand you are quite sure that the issue is strictly firmware (modem) related and it does not depend upon other reasons (apps, in primis). Would you be so kind to list the assumptions on which you based that conclusion, in order to have some rationales to use with Samsung Service?

Thanks a lot.

Another quick question.

Better battery stats is reporting 'poor signal'

I currently have full signal, phone is reporting -89dbm and 12 asu.

Is this poor? Should I be looking for another modem etc (I have used getril too, using LPX)

I9100

[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
You dont need root for that, just Odin and a PC, then you can flash any modem without affecting the Main Firmware or the flashcounter:)
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The signal level BBS reports is the level userland stores. It is known to be inconsistent on some ROMs and there is unfortunately nothing I can do about that. If you feel that those values are of no use you can remove them from the "other" stats using the advances prefs
[BetterBatteryStats] cdzo72:
There are MANY ways to go back to your stock configuration and your service provider never know you rooted your phone UNLESS you begin to make tweaks with doing research and fry it. Secondly, if you're not willing to root it there is not much you're going to be able to do in the way of saving battery because all the bloatware will always be there draining battery and using up network. So YOU have a choice to make...

Battery drain

Hi guys i'm having a pretty bad battery drain problem. I have installed omega rom v33 which is supposed to give a great battery life but it ain't done it for me. Something is definitely wrong with my device. I also tried fully recaliberating my battery, but there is no change in the battery backup. And i'm having this weird wakelock called multi-dp. Dunno what it is.

And my onscreen time is also pretty low. I have a 20% battery drainage/hour while whatsapping . So i doubt the battery should drain this much.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Everyone,

Ever since upgrading to JB (CR 4.5 on d2vzw), my "deep sleep" % never goes above 80% when connected to wi-fi. Pre-JB, I would get ~95% deep sleep when idling, and about 0.5-0.8%/hr idle drain.

Here's about 1.5 hrs of idle time at work today.I know the wi-fi at my work is terribly noisy, no multicast filter etc. so that accounts for all the wlan_rx and wlan_ctrl wakelocks. I still can't figure out why:

1. mmc1/mmc0 detect are so high. When on my home network, these are still there but about 50% smaller on average.

If mmc1/mmc0 are SD-card related, I do have an SD card inserted, formatted by the phone.

2. How can I stop NetworkLocationLocator? I've tried Autostarts and Gemini to turn off ALL autostart conditions, have no apps tracking my location, save Google Now.

3. How can I stop Facebook from using data? It's not syncing or logging me in to chat, it doesn't have any possible autostarts...and no alarms in this run, so how did it even get data? There's a tiny partial wakelock from it though...

Anyways, dump is attached. Interested to see what you guys think.

The main cause of the drain is network traffic. Please enable the root features of bbs in order to get network stats.

Another cause of drain in that reading is the Google framework. This may be a one time effect or related to a download. Another reading with root features on should give us confirmation

AudioOut_3

Not sure if this has been posted before, I'll be honest and say I haven't read the whole thread. Just thought this might be useful to someone.

AudioOut_3

I had this wakelock for a long time, and I couldn't figure out what it was.

Turns out it is caused by Poweramp.

Under headset settings there are options for

Pause on headset disconnect

&

Resume on headset connect

&

Resume on BT A2DP connect

Having these options enabled means that an audio channel is held open, even though you are not playing music, using poweramp, or using Bluetooth.

It may be the same in other audio players, but I can't confirm that as I only use Poweramp.

It might be labeled AudioOut_2 with a different player.

Hope this helps.
