Many thanks for the advice, I'm working through it step-by-step to decide what compromises I'm going to need between battery saving and routine functionality (e.g. greenifying AquaMail and Hootsuite will presumably stop incoming message notifications from flashing the phone's LED during the day, and I find that function very useful). Also, will disabling autosync prevent my calendar/etc info from syncing via Google to my other devices, which at the moment is transparent and pretty-much instant. I can easily live with apps not auto-updating though.

However last night I did greenify the above apps (I've not done the googlemaps part yet as I'll need to buy an app to do it - but com.google.android.apps.maps Wakeups:483 can't be good!) and my phone's Awake time during the night jumped from 30% in the previous dump up to 66%! Oops, something very wrong there, it's meant to be going the other way! :confused:

Note 2 recent battery drain

Hi BBS Gurus,

Please can you help me? Recently my battery is draining faster than normal. A full charge lasts me just under a day now and a few weeks back i would normally get at least a day and a half on a full battery.

I have greenified Facebook and Facebook messenger. I have not stopped all the maps services as i use Google Now.

I hope you can help me as I'm dreading doing a full wipe.

I'm on stock rom with root injected and stock recovery.

Please let me know if the log is correct. I left my phone for 4 hours as instructed but didnt realise Titanium Backup ran during that time.

Thanks :)

Ha'

My friend you haven't done what I suggested last.

Your wlan_ctrl_wake is there because your Wifi on your phone can't establish connection to the Wifi around you. You have to give your phone static ip.

In advanced wifi settings choose wifi always on.

Disable maps if you not use it. And see post 3 for maps in this thread.

Disable BBC autosync i can see the amount of mb it downloads is too much.

Disable locations services in rom/settings.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
OK so this is my log for about 4h on 3G data with no wifi as you can see I have "mdm_hsic_pm0" at the top, honestly when I was out and experienced battery drain the awake time was a lot more than this probably due to medium reception while this was made on full signal.

You can also see from android stats that "android OS" has an enormous amount of usage with an untouched phone!
[BetterBatteryStats] andrewilley:
I did say I was working on it, and had only done some of the things you suggested so far - but I was very surprised that in doing those first tips it actually made the awake problem twice as bad.

I've now set the phone to a Static IP for my own home network (not quite sure why, as it is already mapped to a specific value via the DHCP settings in my router within I use to control the IP addresses of everything in the house, and signal strength is fine). However that can only apply at home, I can't hard-code an IP address when I'm at work for example.

Also turned location services off as a trial, but I'm not sure how happy I am that apps such as my Weather widget, Google Maps, Facebook checkins, etc now may not work properly.

Overall, I'm still trying to work out a healthy balance between implementing all these great battery consumption improvement tips and trying not to effectively lobotomise my S3 as a smart phone --- I guess if I really wanted to make the battery drain as low as it could possibly be, I would just turn the thing off when I'm not using it. :)

[BetterBatteryStats] fndpena:
I have to admit... My battery is lasting so much longer now. Standby drain is almost zero. Pretty impressive.

1 day 20h until now. Medium usage in this period (some gaming, facebook, whatsapp etc). 3G off only when I go sleep.

Screenshot and dumpfile included.

Thanks for opening my eyes. :good:

ps.: I'm still getting "l2_hsic" wakelocks. Some people say this is caused by unpluging the usb cable while screen is off. But I never do this. Anybody know exactly what causes this wakelock?
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
I have the same problem but on 4.2.2 "l2_hsic" is now "mdm_hsic_pm0", still you get a standby drain close to zero on 3g data? That's impossible for me. Maybe you mean 3g network with data off?
[BetterBatteryStats] zaheedsk:
Updated log

Hi,

I have attached an updated log.

Please help me.

Thanks
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Your feedback is much appreciated and reflects exact what I was expecting from this particular kernel. :thumbup:

L2_hsic just points to interconnectivity between the modem part and the system board of your device, it sums up the different kinds of data traffic happened(Wi-Fi plus mobile data) imho it's nothing you should worry about based on your current battery cycle.

Well done!

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

From what I can see your awake is caused by a lot of sync attempts, maps / location services and Wi-Fi overhead, there is not much more to tell, sorry.

Bound your syncs set email to manual poll or enlarge the push heartbeat.

Google search box...

Good luck.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy SII
[BetterBatteryStats] fndpena:
No, data on.

Actually, l2_hsic is not a big problem for me.

2 days (48h) without charging and this wakelock only took 28 minutes. That's 1%.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
you are right mine took 10m in just 4h :(
[BetterBatteryStats] fndpena:
What's your setup?

Rom, kernel etc?
[BetterBatteryStats] sabret00the:
Is it worth posting a dump whereby I had a huge draining Tasker task running in my four hours of idle time or should I wait until a day whereby I don't have the Tasker doing anything in particular?
[BetterBatteryStats] GermainZ:
Whatever Tasker does, you configured it and you should be aware of it. BBS is mostly here to help you to find out what's draining your battery without you realizing it. My advice: disable Tasker for ~4h and post an idle dump.
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
Just like chamonix suggested. Chamonix said the implemented samsung kernel is good enough. Mine experience with speedmod was almost the same as original samsung kernel. I couldn't see much difference. It's very small if there are difference.

Samsung has improved their kernels very well you were right chamonix
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
I posted my 4h idle log on 3g a few posts above. Waiting for someone to analyze it :D
[BetterBatteryStats] xelra:
OK, I tried it now. Google Now. And it turns out I like it and want to use it.

But it's sucking my battery dry like a chimpanzee baby its bottle.

Especially the location services.

Any tips on how to tame Google Now?

I've, of course, already deactivated autostarts of Maps.

Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] linus98:
Your phone does not go into deep sleep. You have several applications that cause this. For example, the synchronization of Google, Facebook, Viber, Weather Update ...

Read post # 3 in this thread to improve the situation.

Sorry for my bad english
[BetterBatteryStats] GermainZ:
Going into deep sleep is wanted.
[BetterBatteryStats] sabret00the:
Yup, Tasker is working as expected. To be honest, my idle battery drain is near perfect. It's the drain I have when the phone is in use that's got me a little worried. It's best to check anyway, I'll post a dump on a day when I haven't had Tasker performing an expensive profile the night previous.
[BetterBatteryStats] linus98:
I do not understand?
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
the thing is I notice that on wifi this drain doesn't happen, those wakelocks are not increasing!.

there must be something else, it's impossible that with viber, weather app that updates every hour and facebook sync off the phone uses all the resources of the CPU. I have another device with the same apps and "android OS" is not even in the list in indle, "cell standby" is as it should be
[BetterBatteryStats] GermainZ:
Before you edited your post, it appeared as if you said deep sleep is bad. It's fixed after your edit. :)

Hi,

I've been trying to trackdown what's causing constant activation on my phone which is a Motorola Razr HD. I have an overnight dump (sync and radios were off).

View attachment BetterBatteryStats-2013-05-23_112052560.txt

I'm attaching a screenshot I took right now just to show the awake frequency.

Already tried to wipe cache/data. Flashed a retail version of Jelly Bean corresponding to my region. Tried let it with no apps at all (except pre-installed ones).
[BetterBatteryStats] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Why does Google+ sync so much? It causes like 10 minutes of wakelock or so each day. I realize I'm part of some Ingress group chat but I've muted it because it goes off too much. Even my friends don't post so much.

I do want the occasional notification from Google+ though...

I'm trying to understand more from a technical perspective why Google+ keeps syncing so much? What is there to update? Everytime I open the app, it's not like it downloads new posts on its own in the background. It refreshes only after I open it. Same with the messages.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Either you are kidding or something is wrong with your dump, take a new one, unplug, leave it idle for several hours, post it.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy SII
[BetterBatteryStats] fndpena:
I have to disagree. At least in my experience samsung kernel was horrible in terms of performance and battery consumption.

My phone today looks like "another phone" when compared to the days I was using samsung kernel.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Unfortunately as g+ is closed source you will need to ask Google
[BetterBatteryStats] vctrrl:
Sorry, but I didn't realized what's wrong with my dump. Just to make sure I'll do it right next time, I should fully charge it while it's powered on, unplug, leave it idle 1-4 hours and post it?
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
Not every phone is the same my friend. My phone like u said can also last two days with one charge approximately 5 hours of screen time.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Yes please, the current one shows almost no consumption but weird values, i guess something was messed up while creating references, you should read and try to understand the content before posting. :cowboy:

Fully charge can distort the overall drain (due to battery chemistry) but the values should be okay then, select since unplugged for the dump. Could you get rooted (for alarms) ?
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
Hi, can you check my 4h idle log? :)
[BetterBatteryStats] vctrrl:
I thought that it was weird because it shows 3 minutes activation, but if you check partial wakelocks the activation time doesn't match.

I got rooted earlier today just because of the alarms.

I usually shut down the phone to charge, then reboot. But it's ok just plug it, charge, let it idle and post the dump, right? I'll do it.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Looking good IMO.

You main wakelocks are:

AudioOut_2: Played music or had a phone call? Or something else played a sound on your phone.

Facebook: Disable what you don't need.

WhatsApp: Disable auto-sync of WhatsApp account/contacts.

WeatherUpdateService (com.cyanogenmod.lockclock.cLock): Disable auto-update/refresh.

eBay: Disable what you don't need.

Gmail: Use another EMail app with manual pull mail, so you can control when to check for new mails.

Your alarms also shows Facebook, WhatsApp and eBay activities.

Additionally there are some alarms for Viber, Maps (disable its autostarts like described by Karpfenhai - link in post #3) and Google quicksearchbox (disable it).

So there is still some potential to optimize your battery life.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
Nothing played sounds, the phone was on vibrate and i didn't use it all.

Facebook is just receiving push notifications, everything else is off, whatsapp last contact sync was before i started logging.

I still find it very strange, why all this doesn't happen on wifi?

It doesn't make sense "android OS" is at the top of my battery usage, what the hell is the system doing all the time??
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Maybe Viber caused te AudioOut_2 wakelock.

AndroidOS wakelock ... yes ... the system is busy all the time.

If you don't want it, turn off your phone. Otherwise, we have to accept this "basic" battery drain of the phone's OS.

As I said, overall battery consumption looks quite good IMO. I just wanted to list what is still "optimizable".
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
I see what you're saying but i have another phone and with THE SAME apps and configuration and when I leave it in idle on 3g for hours the stats show "phone idle" at the top with cpu usage of "android os" of a few minutes, here it's running for hours using the cpu. Could it be something hardware related maybe a rogue modem?
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Is it the same phone with the same firmware/ROM?

Difficult to say ... a "bad" modem could lead to a higher battery consumption.

Flash another modem and check again.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
No of course not..it's not the same phone but you know i was comparing in general and I find it strange they act the opposite way.
[BetterBatteryStats] kozmo21:
That's fine, You can also just plug in then unplug charger to get a reference or set custom reference and not plug in charger at all... your choice.

Since you rooted now, make sure to enable root features in settings... enable everything.

Don't disable radio or anything you normally have on this time. We won't be able to see what's causing the problem.

btw, all that syncing is going to cause a lot of wakelocks...

good luck
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
Disable all autostarts for eBay or greenify it.

Greenify facebook or disable it and use Friendcaster or browser.

Use manual pull for email (gmail)

Greenify viber if you not use it daily

Your phone network signal is not good i prefer using better signal choose 3g/gsm and choose what is best.

Your mdm_hsic_pm0 os caused by the network data connectivity. See in dump under network.
[BetterBatteryStats] -sandro-:
OK so I greenyfied all those suspicious apps expect gmail which I really want with live push notifications. We'll see tomorrow what the new results will be.
[BetterBatteryStats] post-mortem:
He means the same model #. If they have the same model #, they should be the exact same hardware. Any differences in behavior would have to be due to a difference in software. So, yes, try a different modem.
[BetterBatteryStats] vctrrl:
Charged for a while then unplugged and let it idle for two hours, but I guess something is going wrong or I'm really stupid. It points 6 minutes awake, but the first wakelock is an alarm manager with 8 minutes. It shows a sync wakelock from friendcaster, but it only sync one time per day and it already synced before the unplugged reference.

But basically my battery shows a blue intermitent line and BBS always indicates high times of alarm managers, so if someone may want to take a time looking the dump. I guess it's still wrong, but may provide some useful information. Anyway I think it's better charge, reboot and let idle for a while, right?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

[BetterBatteryStats] post-mortem:
If you don't charge near full, it won't reset the battery stats when you unplug. The solution is to either charge to >~90% before you unplug, or boot to recovery & reset battery stats there if you don't want to charge that high. For example, you can reset battery stats in recovery, charge to 60%, then leave idle for a few hours.

Optimus V

Ah, balls. Disregard this log. I couldn't figure out how to simply delete it. I'm pretty sure I have bigger problems than just some battery drain. My phone is reading and presenting information wrong. My battery utilities (BBS and GSam) show that I've been unplugged for just minutes when it's been hours. I checked the phone's battery charts and that information is way off, too, so that's probably the source of the trouble. Without that correct information, it's impossible to save a proper dump. I figure I'll say adios to this ROM and go back to Gingerbread. If anyone has seen that incorrect reading error, I'd love to hear about it. It's a new one for me.

Second time's a charm, I hope. The phone has been idle for nearly four hours and I'm using the latest version of BBB. All fields are populated.

My Optimus V has only recently started suffering battery woes. I changed the ROM from Harmonia (Gingerbread) to CM10 to see if that would help. It didn't. I use AutoWifi to connect and reconnect depending on the signal, and Wifi Reconnect to eliminate the gray bar problem. Both have worked extremely well for months, with no noticeable effect on battery. I don't know if that's changed. The only thing I see are the usual suspects: Gtal_CONN, activitymanager, etc. Seems like I'm overlooking something obvious, but damn if I can find it. Thanks for anything you can tell me. It's an amazing service you provide here.

Hello everyone,

I've got a question about this gsf manual.

Point 3 says: "3. Disable all google related apps i have listed and reboot phone."

1. What does mean disable? Freeze with Titanium backup or just deny everything in Autostarts for this app?

2. Listed where? In the freeze list? Then in the freeze list i can find "Google Services Framework 4.1.2-509230 (com.google.android.gsf)". Why should i disable it if it follows that i should modify it with Autostarts?

3. Also in the freeze list i can find "Google Kalendar Sync 4.1.2-509230 (com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar)".Will i be able to sync my calendar somehow if i disable it?

Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Just my thoughts:

1. You can do whatever you like with these apps. Some apps can be disabled via menu Settings > Application Manager > All > select the app and click "Disable". And others not. So you can use an app, such as Titanium Backup (Pro) to freeze those apps. In this way, you are able to re-enable or unfreeze some apps again, if you experience some issues.

2. Yes, it's the list of freezed apps. Casanoaa freezed all listed apps on his phone and it still works fine. You can check it on your phone, but you don't have to disable/freeze all listed apps. Try one by one, reboot and check if everything still works fine.

3. Same with Kalendar Sync. Just disable/freeze one app, reboot and check if everything you need is still working.

Good luck !
[BetterBatteryStats] shda:
Thanks for the answer.

But don't you think that there is a contradiction in the manual then? If i freeze Google Services Framework, then why should i change it's behaviour in Autostarts? Maybe i misunderstand something?

I cant seem to find why I have this wakelock issue. :(

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ed7buwtgbrpnw1i/2013-05-24 11.43.59.png

There are 2 things that wakes the phone a lot. Other than these there is no problem. Anyone else also have this problem?

This shows as "Android OS" using most of the battery at power usage graph.

Help will be most appreciated. :)
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:

We have the same issue.

Anyway I relogged the phone idle for about 4h again on 3G data but i greenyfied viber ebay maps and Facebook that seemed to be the culprit.

But as you can see the drain is exactly the same as yesterday (7% drop) so they were not the reason!

[BetterBatteryStats] shda:
Also there's a string "Google Kalendar Sync 4.1.2-509230 (com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar)". Did you freeze it? Don't you ever sync your calendar or it could be synced in spite of freezing this app?

Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] Aresmar:
I dont think this is related to a specific app. At least in my case.

Now:

Well now I have deleted my sd card (backed up contents) formatted it. Put my files back in it.

(in MSC mode not MTP I am very suspicious about this MTP mode file transfers.)

Now I am testing to see if that mmc thing still keeps waking the phone.

I think this somehow worked. it is now only 56seconds in 1.hour 12 mins. %1.3

mmc1_detect is ok now I guess with only %1.3 of wakes. it was like %7 before.

I will see after a full charge session if it holds! :cowboy:
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
Yes it is frozen. I don't sync.

But you can try freezing it and sync if it fails you can defroze it.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
For this particular one is no need to freeze, ensure you are doing manual sync onoly and you are good.

Nothing big to optimize IMO.

Only one small thing:

Your MediaScanner seems to be running for some time (> 2 min.).

If you have many files to scan on your sd card(s), then it's OK.

You may optimize the media scanning by either placing ".nomedia" file into folders where you'll never place/save media files (such as clockworkmod folder for nandroid backups), or use MediaScan (root) app from Play store to disable media scanner. But then you have to manually enable it for recognizing new media files (in Gallery, video and music player).
