Of you lost 10 percent in 25 min I don't think it was sleeping. Could have just been a fluke but if it keeps it up I'd look at bbs to get a better idea of what's going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I've been looking at bbs and battery monitor widget like the dev for bbs suggests.

I just don't know how the hell to understand what I'm seeing.

Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308030 lots of great info there. Generally I watch my kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks,, as well as my awake time vs screen on time.

SIGH
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Once your phone is fully charged reboot it and once it reboots clear CPU spy. Let it sit for a while (the longer the better). Take a look at your kernel and partial wakelocks once that's done. As well as you deep sleep percentage. By the looks of it you most likely have an app keeping it awake transferring data via wifi, but its hard to tell since it wasn't rebooted to reset the kernel wakelocks counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
OK its charging right now as we speak, 88 percent and counting. When its full I'll do exactly what you say and post screenshots of everything again. Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
The phone is definitely sleeping as you can see in the following pictures. I just had the phone off the charger for an hour an am still at 100%

After this post I'm at 98%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Yeah those numbers look pretty good. Before I'm guessing you had an app open that wasnt allowing it to sleep. Just pay attention to the programs you use and leave running when you turn your screen off and do some experimenting if you want. It could have been a fluke to. I had one time where for whatever reason my GPS was trying to get a lock for 3 hours straight, guessing an app started up my GPS and didn't close it properly. I just rebooted and its never happened since.

Actually I'd bet its phandroid, first few market reviews say it keeps running in the background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I never leave phandroid or Facebook running because they always consume a ton of cpu for no reason. Same thing with friend caster, everything else seems to be OK though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Hmm might have just been a fluke then, has it happened since then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demonwind:
I found out the problem (for my phone at least). It's Google Services Framework. Freeze it and no more Event Log Service. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use Market after this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Will give it a shot thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I see this never really came to a solution. I was curious about this issue because I saw this wakelock today. While it didn't impact my battery, it was still longer than typical. Could it be Google's backup service? (in settings > privacy)

I've opted to uncheck it. Though, I can't determine the impact on the discussed issue because mine is not currently wakelocked. Just an idea though. Most of us use our own backup methods anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
It seems there is no particular rhyme or reason to this wakelock. I turned off Google backup a long time ago and still see this. However, today after 4 hours I only have 8 instances of Even Log Service for a total of 1 sec of wakelock. I havent done anything new to my phone so I dont understand what is causing this wakelock at all. Go figure????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I'm finding that the Android OS usage is pretty random. I can't seem to find a common denominator.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] narkee:
I'd like to find a resolution to this, because I do think it impacts my battery life.

Right now, I have 26 hours on battery with 268 "Event Log Service" wake locks for a total of 1h 2m 1s (3721 s). It accounts for 71.7% of awake time.

That seems ludicrous.

I do not have the backup service enabled either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] promiseofcake:
Is there any way to read the log, or is it sent directly over the air? If the later, is there a way to capture a local copy as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
I've been having the same problem - but I did notice that the "Event Log Service" and my "%active, but screen off" increased dramatically when I am at work where I have a very weak wifi and cell connection. Maybe related?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
As an update to my last post, I am adding the Android Batt Usage Graph and my BBS stats for the Event Log Service:

As background:

-At work I have very poor wifi reception (to the point where it connects to the network, but I cannot load any sites, etc) and very poor cell service (1-2 bars). I always leave wifi ON.

-At home, I have veryyy good wifi and veryyy good cell reception.

When I left work I had 14.5 minutes of Event Log Service (~700 count). Since I've been home (for over 5 hours) the Event Log Service hasn't increased a single bit. This corresponds well to the attached graph.

Could it be that those of us who are having problems are just on wifi networks with poor connection and the phone is having trouble connecting and won't switch to the cell network? aka the log is occuring over the internet on google's servers?

*I have unnamed 1.3.2 and Entropy 12/8 and have Google backup turned off, only Gmail and Calendar syncing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jiexi:
Don't want to revive a old post, but I've looked at practically every google result on this on the first page and nobody can seem to come to any sort of consensus.

I don't understand what is causing this... Anyone ever manage to find a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beirutas:
nope. same issue, googled everything

I have hibernated almost all apps and still getting it. still testing, will report if have any sucess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
Solution ?

Ok, people, this might be a solution, I've found it on the androidforum, thanks to thangfish. To disable google services (Event log service) do this:

install System Tuner

go to startups

tap Google Services Framework

uncheck "checkin.eventlogservice" and all other unwanted google crap

I'm going to test if it works later tonight.

Edit: I don't see "Event Log Service" wakelock anymore. Can anyone confirm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eason85:
I did that and I got something like "eventlog pickup" which replaced it :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
There are two EventLogService references in Google Services Framework, have you unchecked both?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eason85:
Yes. However, last night I got 6% drain over 7 hours. It was in deep sleep for 95% of that time, with 20 minutes awake- however, under partial wakelocks I have 1 h 6 m of event log services. I'm not sure if I should just not worry about it or if I should keep digging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
Are you rooted? Could you post you dump file made according to the betterbatterystats requirements?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eason85:
I will definitely do that after tonight's stand-by test (assuming there is something erroneous to show)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
Eason85:

I don't see a single EventLogSevice wakelock. Though there are:

Facebook

Whatsapp

Calendar

Next time could you post BetterBatteryStats[date and id].txt file (just hit 'dump to file') and in the app go to the Settings - Watchdog - Enable (watchdog processing) - Notify (while screen was off). I can see that you have your root features already enabled. If you want more accurate results, it's best not to take measures while the battery is full, wait before it gets less than 70%.

Happy fishing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eason85:
Will do that- thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
Eason85: 1% per hour is rather good with wifi on but there is still place to improve your battery drain:

Gtalk (use same method as with the eventlogservice)

Google Maps Prefetch

Facebook sync

etc ..

Well, tweaking is always something personal, I'd recommend you to read some wakelock guides, like this one:

I uninstalled facebook today because even without sync it would wake my phone twice as often as android system/gsf. is there any way to stop it from waking your device (as it shouldn't) at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zandgreen:
I can't help you on this as I don't use facebook but there must be some alternative apps that don't cause wakelocks.

I'm having the same issue with event log service on my LG Optimus G E975.

Fully charged it during night and at 2:30am I rebooted the phone and unplugged the charger.

Now in the afternoon at 5pm I checked again (haven't used the phone since then) and battery was at 62 %

Wakelock detector is showing an activity of Google-services/Event log service with 1 hour 43 minutes.

Wlan off, 3G on, GPS off, bluetooth etc off.

I disabled all unessesary syncs including google backup/restore, not helping at all.

I checked developer settings for log recording etc.. but everything is off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't know why you would post in a Samsung forum, but I will tell you that Google maps and associated programs are a know battery killer. If you have not heard about Greenify, then you should find it, see how it works, and put it on your phone. Put Maps into hibernation, and anything else the app tells you. That in itself may solve the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nex86:
can not use greenify without root.

And maps isn't even showing up in wakelock detector.

[Motorola Droid 3] UnexplodedCow:
Of course, this is about the Droid 3. Mine has had LauncherPro since day one.

I ran into an odd problem, and repeated it on another Droid 3, even with the new system update. I'm getting a random black screen whenever I turn the screen on from being off. It could be a few seconds, could be minutes, hours, or whenever. Slightly moving the "home screen" left or right allows it to show up.

The bottom task bar is unaffected. Any ideas on how/why this would be happening or how to fix it? I've tried various homescreen and behavior settings in LPro, but nothing has solved it.

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid 3] stephendowney:
yes i have this to, I think it is a gingerbread thing, cause I never had this problem on my D2, until after the gingerbread update, I also have this problem on my D3 as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] volcanomike:
Same here
[Motorola Droid 3] poetryrocksalot:
I have this problem too but only when I exit an app.
[Motorola Droid 3] pgzerwer:
Same sort of

I also have the dread blank screen (though it's not black, I can see the wallpaper) after exiting apps, especially camera apps, or web apps (e.g.Opera). Sometimes the homescreen stuff does flash on and off, once or more - sometimes bunches. Found that rebooting seems to restabilize things, but it is becoming more annoying over time.

Anyone out there got solution?
[Motorola Droid 3] Cameron6472:
I usually just swipe to another home screen. That fixes it (temporarily).
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
the only time i have this issue is when i first turn the phone on. everything boots up, i swipe the unlock screen and get the black screen with the launcher and everything below in tact. i shift the screen a little to get it to show up and i dont see it again until the next reboot. i never see the issue while switching apps or anything like that. i have arctic grey theme if that says anything to the issue, tho it never really bothered me that much. i could see it getting annoying if it happened all the time.

Wrong forum post this in the Q&A forum
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 1wayjonny:
I received mine in the mail yesterday and wanted to give my mini review.

I currently have or had:

G1

G2

G2x

Sensation

Hercules

The reason I mention this is because this phone is not much nicer then the G2, G2x or the sensation but this phone is still solid.

I paid the outright price and coming from these phones I just cant see the difference for me to spend $560. This is just based on the feature and feel of the phone vs what I already own. If you were coming from a old phone by all means this is slightly better then the rest I mentioned but not $560 better.

Pros:

No pentile

No screen door effect (spaced pixels)

No Yellow Tint

No over colored greens and oranges

Fast web browser alive, I mean WOW! Flash sites run very well

NFC

Decent processor

Fastest download speed from Tmobile device yet

Very light

Nice feel in hand

Cons:

Defective screen (I had the pixelated, washed out /brushed steel stripes) the artifacts stay in the same place and is noticeable when I pull down the notification bar.

DPI is way to HIGH for such a resolution - Not bad but should be a option

Stutters 10% of the time

Car audio does not have the Voodoo punch from stock, not sure about later development or if a compatible chip is in there.

This phone did not blow me away but will offer it to my girlfriend over the sensation for the only reason being the GPS is terrible int he sensation and we use the navigation a lot and wanted to smash the sensation many times.

This phone is very close to being sent back but even if keeping this is being exchanged for a different screen.

Does any that bought from Tmobile have a perfect/good screen? If so please post pics.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dksxmks:
This seems to be a pretty common, but then again we typically only hear from people who have this issue. I'm planning on heading back to the T-mobile store and compare my unit to their display models. Hopefully there will be a difference and convince an exchange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
Do you think it's a qc issue? Or is it a hardware (LCD or another issue that they all will have?) flaw?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dksxmks:
This is my first Super AMOLED device so I'm not sure what to expect. I came from MyTouch4G before this and an SE x10i before that, and both fo them had LCD's iirc.

My friend has a Sprint GS2 and I got to compare them side by side. I noticed it's much less apparent on the Sprint one (Had to get up really close and carefully stare at it) so you almost cant tell, and when the brightness is up to about 30% it's just gone completely.

I tried to show him the lines I was talking about but he couldn't see them at all, and ended up calling me insane. :) So it's also the eye of the beholder.. so to speak. I don't have much evidence to go on other than what I'm seeing, and am fairly convinced it's hardware issue. I remember the MT4G had 2 different batch of screens where the viewing angles and vibrance was substantially different. This might be the same case, though I would expect more from "Super AMOLED Plus". :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Based on the pictures someone posted, I find it unnerving that it's only one the right side of the screen.

It's almost as though it's hardware related in the sense that it has something to do with whatever is right beneath that part of the screen. Could it be heat related? The CPU being there? etc.

I don't remember seeing this on European GS2 when I played with it.

This is why even if the prime wasn't coming, I'd be hesitant to pick up the GS2 as the screen itself is a new line of manufacturing....and I'd rather let the first adopters deal with the imperfections while they work the kinks out in their manufacturing process.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scmurphy13:
I've noticed stuttering with the screen animations on. Once I turned them off, no problems. I've got the grey stripes, as well. If I keep my brightness around 50%, more or less, I don't really notice them. Debating on whether an exchange is in order.

just to be fair

Launcher Pro hasn't been performing well since Nexus S came out, and all the newer devices that came after it, like the original SGS2.

many other launchers are working way better/faster than Launcher Pro now

in other words Launcher Pro is kinda old school now, it needs to adapt to the new devices

Hi there, I love cyanogen mod, but I still have not yet tried it out on my galaxy s2.

I'm wondering if these can be ported over to CM7 by replacing apks.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
There is no way to port them cause sammys apks depending from the framework and the specific framework can not work with CM7.That's it

The best you can do(if u want cm7) is to install tw4.5 launcher from fr4gg0r and use a theme pack in order to have the "like" sammy feel.

pull: building file list...

0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.

now i can tell you that there are many apks inside that folder.

i cant even list what files are in that directory by using the 'ls' parameter

the only way i can actually view the files is if i

adb shell su

# cd data/app

ls

then it will list the files but i still cannot pull the files it just says data/app/filename.apk cannot find specified file

is this some kind of lock lg have put on or has the adb been updated and no longer allow you to do this?
