There's a completely other thread regarding the issue [Q] msm_hsic_host wakelock

I am using faux123 Kernel and spoke with faux who said, "it's normal for Nexus 4. I've already lowered suspend timeout wait to help a bit. Will have to see how Google/LG address it."

I find it very hard to believe though, because some people have been getting 3/4 even 7+hr's with Screen on over their Android OS.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get Android OS lower than my Screen On with this wakelock causing the problem.

I've got locations off, gps off, bluetooth off, Google now off, no facebook, even tried WiFi off, etc. etc. etc. can't seem to get rid of it.
[BetterBatteryStats] irish-sid:
I did for as long as possible, will do a full one over night, but if you could have a look anyway?
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
8m 50s ... that's as long as possible ?!

Maybe BBS didn't recognize the plug/unplug event correctly.

Try to plug/unplug the charger/USB cable explicitly before next recording.

I see Google Maps and Network location locator. Please check that in ROM/Google settings that all location service options are disabled. And have a look at Karpfenhai's description to "optimize" Maps (link in post #3).

Google quick search box is also active. Try to disable/freeze Google search. Just to check its influence to your battery life.

Sky News, Google+ and Facebook are also using your mobile data/internet connection. If you don't need these apps every day, disable/freeze them.
[BetterBatteryStats] irish-sid:
No, it was 2 hours! I set a custom ref, turned screen off, left it alone.

Edit, must have uploaded the wrong one somehow, here's the two hour one.

Hello and Thank You in advance

I've come to this thread at the advice of the Complete Guide to Maximum battery life.

My BBS Dumpfile is attached, as well as a screenshot of my partial wakelock screen and so i'd appreciate the analysis and opinion of any available expert.

I'm running a Rooted Stock JB on a 1747m galaxy s3 with the stock kernel and a stock battery.

I'm also wondering what are the effects of BBS on batterylife? as in after adjsuting my battery to a maximum level, should i freeze/uninstall BBS or will leaving it have no change on my battery life?

Once again thank you very much for the help.
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
Provide an idle log. Unplug leave phone 4 hours and dump a file
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
I think this has been discussed within this thread before..

The msm_hsic is similar to Samsung's l2_hsic and related to the inter chip communication (usb) in your / all lg devices case it appears every time the modem received data.

What you can do to bring it down (not to get rid of it) is the following, go to settings, wireless section -> more -> cell broadcasts -> uncheck all.

This should help. Note, the more data activity you generate the more msm_hsic wakelock you will see, congruent to l2_hsic.

So it's a Symptom, not the cause. Bring down your background data traffic (like latitude in maps which is on by default), clean up your mail polling behavior, check your location settings and adjust your sync activity, in short, do your damned homework! :D:p:) You will reduce this wakelock to a reliable amount, it's magic!

Good luck and please report your experience with disabling the broadcast, Thx.

There's also something a few N4 kernel Deva have tried to reduce the wake lock. I think it deals with how long it takes for the wakelock to be suspended (they reduce it)

Karpfenhai. Did you apply any changes in Gemini for the Yahoo Weather app to prevent wakelocks? I turned all off on auto start but some re-enabled on its own. I no longer get wakelocks from it but also don't have any of its widgets. Would you care to share your Gemini settings or any other adjustments for the Yahoo Weather app? Thank you for all your help and Chamonix for the great app! :cool:

[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
I'm sorry, since Yahoo does not produce noticeable drain it was not necessary to adjust it.

I think it has a pretty good design to run as a service.

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] _chanstar_:
Thanks for the feed back. I was signed in to sync from Yahoo which caused wakelocks. Signing out fixed it without having to adjust any settings in Gemini. And I have the widgets back. Thanks though buddy!

Chanstar Entertainment
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
After 2 days of testing w/o any issue I think it's time to share my gsf setup again with you guys.

Note, I dismissed Gemini since I have a bad feeling about it's reliability.

The settings are slightly different from ics, the check-in complete process should not be touched (afaik).

Why don't you bother to read or search the thread?

Try the easy one first: Check ROM settings for (Google) update service(s) and disable all options.

Have you disbaled some Autostart events/options for Google Servcie Framework?

If yes, try to enable all again.

Good luck !

Karpfenhai was quicker than me ...
[BetterBatteryStats] jeremysherriff:
"Do your damned homework" ? Dude I was helping out in this thread long before you popped up. As mentioned, I searched (try yourself, if you want) and I didn't find anything.

I have 7 push mail accounts, 4 android devices, and have not encountered this wakelock before.

I use my smartphone as a smartphone, but this wakelock has me beat.

:)

Thanks for the advice, I will try them and report back, but as mentioned by others this is a change to the way the kernel is handling the situation. It's a nexus 4 with stock kernel and rom so it should be behaving itself. I've just changed the broadcast settings and am heading to bed, will be easy to see if they help. Maps location stuff is already 95% disabled, I'm happy with that side of things as they are.

[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
I see some small things like Facebook, Google search and Ultimate custom widget. You can try to disable those apps/widgets to check if your battery life gets better.

Maybe it's maily wifi related. You had wifi on and running all the time. Try to change it (with wifi policy set to disable wifi when phone is sleeping or deactivate wifi competely). Then check again your battery life.

Good luck !
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
It's not too bad... but Google search box and your wifi are the main drainers.

For wifi, give betterwifionoff a shot.

Maybe you can set up a screen off policy to prevent your cpu jumping higher 200 mhz while screen it's of, this should decrease the drain even if the phone is awake.

I think this is the main reason for the drain, not only the time awake.

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] irish-sid:
Thanks both.

I have set wifi to off when phone sleeps as a test.

What is Google search box?

I let my phone just sit idle last night. No Wifi

went from 88% to 70%

here's my dump file.
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Ok ... there are some very massive kernel wakelocks:

"modem_usb_gpio_wake" (): 18 m 43 s (1123 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)1328/165/1329 3.9%

"PowerManagerService" (): 17 m 35 s (1055 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)1933/0/0 3.6%

"modem_usb_suspend_block" (): 17 m 19 s (1039 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)1642/0/0 3.6%

Modem_USB ... :confused:

There seems to be something wrong with your phone's USB connector. Have you cleaned it already?

Maybe that can help ... just guessing.

What I can see in partial wakelocks is Google Maps, Network location locator, Facebook and Google search.

1. Check Karpfenhai's description of how to "optimize" Maps (link is in post #3).

2. Disable Google search.

3. Check that all location service options are disabled in your ROM/Google settings.

4. If you don't need Facebook every day, disable it too.

Good luck !
[BetterBatteryStats] ingineru:
I do not know if it is a bug but, on the kernel wakelock page, picking unplugged it shows the total time for "baseband_xmm_power", "radio-interface" etc. Those times are bigger than unplugged time, picking screen off is ok.

Using the latest beta
[BetterBatteryStats] poena:
Thanks! How can I clean the USB? Is this a defect in the phone??
[BetterBatteryStats] cute_kayani:
Should i do it? Someone says enable it all. Than i enable it. Don't know what to do...
[BetterBatteryStats] jeremysherriff:
Sorry man, looking back I mistook your words and gave you crap coz of my own bad day, apologies!

Those changes helped a lot, cut the amount of wakelock time in half.

Also, the location settings in Maps had been re-enabled, I thought I was going crazy but the location updates were *definitely* off at one point, not sure how they came back on? Maybe re-enabled when I used navigation for the first time.

[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
Just have a look at your partial wakelocks:

com.easy.battery.saver.Easy Battery Saver: 4 m 58 s (298 s) Count:405 1.3%

FastDormancy (Phone): 2 m 3 s (123 s) Count:25 0.5%

...

BBS_WAKELOCK_WHILE_SAVING_REF (com.asksven.betterbatterystats.BetterBatteryStats): 4 s (4 s) Count:12 0.0%

Now you can see yourself what effect BBS app has on your battery life.

Compared to your main wakelocks, it has minimal influence.

Try to reduce the main wakelocks.

1. Disable/freeze or uninstall Easy Battery Saver.

2. Change the FastDormancy state on your phone. Maybe Gokhanmporal's FastDormancy app works for your phone to toggle the FD state.

3. Disable all location service options in ROM/Google settings.

And keep BBS app ...

I think the app is not working correctly for me... I keep getting error messages when I launch it: "BatteryInfo Service could not be connected" and I don't think I'm actually seeing what I should... What's the tab I should be looking at in order to see the apps that are killing my battery?

Oh, and the widgets are not working...

Is there anything I should have taken care of after installation? I'm running the latest version on a rooted and locked Xperia S.

Thanks!
[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
You should install stable version which is 1.11. 1. Post in this thread.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Hey there, by latest version you mean 1.11 right?

Otherwise you can't complain cuz all newer releases are clearly marked as beta.

The battery info issue does normally only occur on miui based Rom, of the issue persist , chamonix might be interested in a logcat, please be so kind and attach one plus detailed info about your Rom /kernel combination, Thx in advance!

Yes, after installation you should take care for the reference being created to gain valid data.

This could be done in different ways, most practiced way, plug and unplug your charger to get the reference "Since unplugged" created. Leave your phone alone and post a dump after a certain time, per example 3-4 hours.

Another common way is to reboot your device to get the initial reference "since boot", which is also the fallback reference for unexpected issues (like hotboot caused by chrome).

If you want to use the ref. "Since charged" you need to charge your device to 100%, then unplug.

You can also start measuring by creating a manual reference called "Since custom ref." But this might be dicey b/c bbs needs to run in foreground, otherwise your system might decide to kill bbs if it needs the memory block.

I hope you are enlightened now, have fun and feel free to post a valid dump to get more assistance

Hi guys,

I'm also experiencing some unnormal battery drain.

I've collected the data in form of the following dump file and also screenshots.

I have already tried to optimise google maps as described on the first page. Furthermore I have set mail accounts to refresh only each 30 min except for one account, which works with push. On busy day there are however no more than 3 to 4 mails coming through via push.

I've got no clue anymore what could keep my phone awake. I am very grateful for any insights.

Looks like the msm_hsic_host wakelock might be Wi-Fi related. Setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy so that Wi-Fi does sleep has reduced the wakelock a lot. Which makes sense if it is an interconnect thing, I think.

A full idle period overnight tonight will confirm..

[BetterBatteryStats] Casanoaa:
See what i have found for you (connectivityservice):

wlan_rx, wlan_rx_wake, wlan_wake: This is a wakelock caused by network traffic. The easy solution would be to just turn off Wifi, but be careful doing so! If an app goes to sync and it sees that Wifi is off, it will search for a mobile data connection (which causes the ConnectivityService wakelock). If it can't find a mobile data connection, it will wait and search again at its next sync interval and/or automatically sync when the phone wakes up. This wakelock can also, deceptively, be caused by the Wifi network itself as it refreshes connections or refreshes IPs.

[BetterBatteryStats] Squall-Leonhart:
the widgets in the beta's are a tad finicky, the 1x1 widget can randomly lose its graphic, and i've even had a few instances of the widgets complete screwing up the main program causing it to always fall back to boot

unfortunately, there isn't any particularly reproduction steps. though it did occur at one point after tapping the widget for updates repeatedly :< lol.

In all apps/widgets use manual sync. I think one of the apps or widgets is searching for mobile data/wifi. Which causes connectivity wakelock.
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
The xda version and gplay versions different in two aspects:

- the xda version has a different package name so it can be installation parallely

- on xda I push version preio to releasing them to gplay, as beta or release candidates (of course the stable versions as well that are functionally identical with the gplay version, currently 1.11)
[BetterBatteryStats] chamonix:
as the name says "no or unknown" time would e.g. be accounted when Wifi is on and connected as the data stack on 3G is then shut down (unknown). Depending on the RIL implementation there may also be interpretation errors whenever the status is not passed back to android properly. In a nutshell: if you feel that data is unreliable ignore it or uncheck it from the advanced prefs to hide it

Btw. i'm on a galaxy s3 and during the time i recorded my battery history, wlan, bluetooth and gps were ofcourse all off.

As I can not seem to be able to identify the reason for my very high battery consumption, I will try a factory reset now.

I've had about 20% battery drain within 8 hours, which is just too much. Applying Juicdefender this could be reduced to a value of only about 1% per hour. But as many of you already stated, the app itself also wakes the phone and consumes battery, which means an even lower consumption should be possible.

After the facotry reset I'll start by modifying the google maps as suggested on the first page, disable gtalk, g+ and gnow as well as s voice and all localisation requests.

Is there anything else that should be disabled, changed on the factory version? (Without any individual apps..)

Any recommendations?

Hi everyone...

I'm having some battery drain on my device (GT-I9300).

I'm running stock firmware and Siyah kernel (battery really got better after I flashed this new kernel, but still...)

I went from 97% to 27% in 13 hours. Some gaming, email checking and facebook during that time. I don't know if this is a normal battery performance, maybe someone could help me to find out, if something is draining my battery abnormally.

Here goes my dump file...

Try to sync your mail manually for a test.

Also, one of your problems is fast dormacy. Try to change the FD state on your phone (e.g. with Gokhanmoral's Fast Dormancy app from Play store). And check if this FD wakelocks are gone.

Try these before you do a factory reset, if you haven't already done so.

Yes, as said above, only post attachment, not whole dump.

You also have FD wakelocks. Try to change the FD state on your phone (e.g. with Gokhanmoral's Fast Dormancy app from Play store).

Also, next time, please supply totally idle dump. You have 15 minutes of screen on time. It's harder to tell if you are waking an app on purpose, or if it's waking on it's own.

Since you are rooted, go to settings > advanced > check root features to enable alarms/network.
