Running version 1.13.4.0

Is it normal for the process 'system' to always be at the top of the list? I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1. When I first flashed it and installed my apps, 'system' wasn't listed at all under the process list. But after a few days and a few reboots, I'm seeing 'system' always at the top.

Does this mean something is unnecessarily chugging on my battery?

Hi, my Device is Lenovo K860 running stock ROM ICS 4.0.4 unrooted

BBS shows acm-dormancy, cdc-acm, donw_cpu_wk in kernel wakelock. My phone deep sleep is less than 1% for 7 hours. The cpu runs at 1400Mhz above 90% of the time.

I leave it at 1.00 am at 87% , checked again 08.00 am in the morning and battery at 41%.

I've tried flashing the ROM (also ICS stock ROM then update OTA) still having the same problem. I don't have any other app installed besides BBS and stock apps from the stock ROM. FYI : this phone is 10 days old, it behaves like this since out of the box.

Pls tell me what are acm-dormancy, cdc-acm, donw_cpu_wk in kernel wakelock? And what should I do with them?

Pls help I have serious battery drain. It only last 7 hours on normal usage.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Have you rebooted your phone after disabling Fast Dormancy?

If yes, then try to enable FD again and check for the secril wakelock, if it gets less or more.

Google+ seems to be active although you are logged out. That's why I suggested to disable/freeze it.
[BetterBatteryStats] guhvanoh:
Look at the time that system used, 6 secs total out of 21 min. It is insignificant.

If it had used 20 min out of the 21min, then you may have something to complain about.

Hi,

this is my log!
[BetterBatteryStats] wontcachme:
Hello,

I've been using the app now for a couple of weeks and suddenly i get forced close's everytime i start the app. It says something about the "from or to reference could not be loaded". It also says something about the battery, but i can't read that because immediatly the popup about sending a repport to google goes above.

It occurs when connected to the charger, disconnected from the charger and i have already cleaned the charger hole. I also updated to the latest versions in this thread and no luck. I also tried to make a logcat but i can't get into BBS or if i use android terminal there is not much data in there.

100% awake time caused by "tx_hsic".

Something to google?!

I only found this (here on xda).
[BetterBatteryStats] m14mclaren:
Am I correct in thinking its the media scanner running that is causing a lot of draw?
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Yes, MediaScanner is the biggest culprit.

Maybe you have corrupted files on your sd card(s).

Connect in Mass Storage mode to your PC and run ChkDsk to find and fix those files.

But there are other drainers, such as Fast Dormancy, FaceBook, Bluetooth, Maps, etc.

Got some crazy drain overnight. I had a Titanium backup schedule run, but that definitely didn't cause all of the drain. Can someone help me out: http://db.tt/aKCctFZX
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Your main wakelocks are:

Titanium Backup: Disable auto-backup.

Genie (com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.News & Weather): Disable auto-update/refresh.

ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid.Tasks: Disable auto-sync.

com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.UpdateService (com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.Google Voice): Disable auto-update.

Disable GoogleQuickSearchBox if you don't use it.

And here are the apps with the biggest data exchange over your internet connection:

Google Play Store: 8.0 MBytes 59.9%

Facebook: 1.0 MBytes 12.3%

Reddit News: 1.0 MBytes 12.0%

Disable/freeze or greenify what you don't need everyday. Disable all auto-updates/refreshes and disable auto-sync of all your accounts.

You can sync/update/refresh manually if you want.

Good luck !
[BetterBatteryStats] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:

Hey all, I would like some input on my wakelocks. I rebooted my phone, then unplugged it and then let it sit on my nightstand overnight to get idle data. I lost a little over 3% per hour, and this is after setting Greenify to hibernate a bunch of apps.

Thanks!
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The main cause of drain is caused by Wifi being on all the time. Turn off Wifi when not in use to confirm
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
"no data connection" is normal when Wifi is on as android turns the 3g/4g data off in that case. Based on the dumpfile I can see that leavng Wifi on causes wuite some overhead and is, together with exchange the main causes of drain/wakeups
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
.... and the main cause is: wifi being on all the time causing wakelocks and wakeups
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
No problem, icons are a matter of taste and you are free to replace it if you want and knwo how to. I like the icon as it is.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The process view is not something that you should use to dive into tuning battery issues. Please read the first posts of this thread, especially the how-to to get started
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
You spotted it right, your phone does not sleep and the cause is acm_dormancy. I can't find anything on that specific wakelock neither the source code but from the name that wakelock may be cause by fast dormancy. Unfortunately I can't find any info on how to disable that but that may be a good starting point for you to look further. I have not found may forums specifically about that device though

Can someone please help me ASAP

I have a wakelock that kills my phone in just a couple of hours, if someone can help me figure out what it is, please.
[BetterBatteryStats] spectrumfox:
Looks like it's NlpWakeLock. That's the Network Location Provider. Something's obviously wrong with it because it should be alive for that long.

I would suggest Force Stopping and Delete Data for the following:

Google Search

Google Maps

Google Play Services

Google Services Framework

Reboot your phone, then go back into your Google account and restore all Location Services options if you want them on.

Well it wold be interesting to see if we can solve whatever drains your battery that fast when you are on mobile data. Even with bad reception 3 hours of battery life is not normal so there may be another cause that we can fix
[BetterBatteryStats] spectrumfox:
Right, I know about the framework and not being able to stop the wakelocks. The issue he was experiencing though I have seen while using some of the CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies. The steps I provided was how I managed to overcome the NLP never letting the phone go to sleep.
[BetterBatteryStats] Deni_NS:
HISC is the interface that connected the main Soc processor ( Also called Applciation Processor AP) to the modem ( 3G or 4G if there are two modems separately )

HSIC is uses the standard USB core library. And it is standard given by usb.org. The HSIC by itself consumes very less power and is one of the very power efficient and space efficient ways of interconnecting chips. Currently common to Qualcomm and Sammy Exynos architectures.

The reason seeing too many HSIC wake lock and other wake ups is due to the fact that the HSIC interface is waken up by modem (resulting modem scenarios are also so many) .

Also one important reason is EFS sync.

A concept : that the new modem architectures doesn't support a flash storage.(Saves lot of cost to manufacturer) .So every time modem needs to store something , it wakes up hisc interface and ask the AP (Main processor) to store it for him in his flash.

So this CP storing via AP is a fairy frequent activity even during suspend/deep sleep mode. Remember modem is periodically awake to do "Cell Update message" all the time.

I see the concern over this L2_hsic wake lock. I can say at this point that it is quite natural activity. and a necessary evil for smooth working of your modem( network 2g,3g,4g ) subsystem.

Every company including Sammy have some kind of power optimization done in the HSIC. So they taking care of this we considering fairy high battery drainer issue. .

If it is too high, modem/network can be blamed , if too many frequent network ( too many cell re-selection activity due to low RF reception) changes force the modem to do more activity, thus waking AP to do the work of storing its data over HSIC.

Thanks for your reply. Assuming acm-dormancy is fast dormancy, can fast dormancy issue fixed by flashing new ROM, beacause I've tried that, using 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 but the problem still exist. Tried to pull out SIM card and external SD card as well, yet acm-dormancy still there.

The problem is my knowledge about android and linux is one tick above zero.

Update :

Found on google : Communications Device Class (CDC) Abstract Control Model (ACM)

I googled "cdc acm linux" the top two has that acm and cdc. It's usb driver or somekind. My wild guess is it's the usb driver for tethering. Something is messed up there.

Please also google : cdc acm driver problem android

BBS and ICS

I was pleasantly surprised to see that BBS is largely functional on ICS. The only BBS feature that I cannot get to work is the History graph (it just shows as empty).

Everything else seems just fine :)

EDIT: The partial wakelocks are terrible however - a real battery drainer :(
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
Thank you for sharing!

An empty history graph can mean two things:

- the api has been disposed / displaced

- it delivers no data

I will add some debug info so we can narrow down the problem till we get the sources.

I'd be proud if bbs could help narrowing down things and helping the porting process.

note to myself: the working / not working kernel wakelocks is top 1 prio
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
I am moving on thin ice here but this is my theory: the keyguard wakelock is related to the lockscreen. There are plenty of explanations on how to handle this wakelock to show a notification when the phone is off, eg when receiving an incoming sms.

Now why should keyguard show? From the discussion among devs there seem to be some specific sequences that must be respected in order to pass over the lockscreen and notify something. I assume that if an app either keeps notifying (eg a calendar with snooze) or if this specific sequence is not respected by some code this may lead to what you get.

Now question: does this make any sense in your situation?
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
After having been informed that there's something wrong with my account I have found out that my google merchant account has been suspended without any information or notice from google. I have notified the services about the situation and am hoping for a quick resolution.

Makes sense. I don't have any calendar notifications, just Gmail and SMS, the phone does have an SMS notification on the lockscreen itself, maybe it has something to do with that.

Hmm. I do think it's still for Hangouts/Gtalk. When I'm on company Wifi, Gtalk (back in the day) would fail to work and would keep trying to reconnect producing a huge gtalk wakelock.

What other app could be causing it? There's some days its there, other days its not. So Google+ could have a huge wakelock but the gtalk wakelock could very well not show up. You're right it's talking to Google's servers, but I feel like it's talking to Google's servers regarding gchat status or something chat related at least.
