I just went to Settings --> Storage and saw all my SD card values showing "computing" and not returning a value - very similar to the symptom I had getting Swype to work (couldn't clear application data without removing the SD card first, because it showed "calculating" (or "computing", whichever it was).

I've unmounted my SD card, we'll see if my battery draw slows at all.

I'm wondering if the system in the background is trying to compute these items, and can't, maybe stuck in a loop? Seems like a clear bug if so.

lmao it'd be funny if the sdcards are set to auto play and just kept doing whole lot of nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
Question, does leaving the phone plugged in prevent it from going into deep sleep even when the battery is already fully charged? I originally had the same problem OP had, except that it was not due to the presence of a SD card. So I did a factory restore yesterday and kept 3rd party apps to a minimum. Ran CPU Spy, deep sleep % spiked. Was so happy.

Left it plugged in overnight, woke up this morning to find 200mhz at 90%. Unplugged it. 4 hours later, deep sleep is almost back at 40%.

Through all this, the Android OS is still taking up the biggest portion of battery activity.

Is something up with my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nim6us:
After my tests, the car charge, even the offical Samsung block battery charger that came with the phone, when it was charging it never hit Deep Sleep. I don't know if that's by design or if it should be in deep sleep while it's charging. However my fix with the SD card seems to be working. I'm making it a full day on a single charge. So I'm a happy bunny! However if it not hitting deep sleep while charging hurts the phone, I do want to resolve that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
It is not suppose to go into deep sleep when plugged in, GB never did either
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Not to mention..... again....

When your screen is off OS should be just about be only thing using power.... its screen on that offsets that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtalkalot24:
Pulled and reformatted my SD card. Battery issue solved for me. Back to getting a full day of usage before having to recharge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CAEpoxy:
I was also having battery drain issues using, although I'm using the AOKP E4GT Milestone 6 ROM. My battery was taking about 7 hrs to drain to 15% with it basically just sitting on my desk at work. Even with stock GB and ICS I never had the greatest battery life (~11 hrs), but at least I could make it through a work day w/out reaching for the charger.

Following some of the other advice here and in other threads I installed CPU spy and found out my phone also wasn't going to Deep Sleep. As many others have already noticed, the phone was spending almost the entire time at 200MHz. The fix for me (at least so far) was to charge to 100% then pull the battery, wait about 5 minutes, then put the battery back in. I also turned off notification led and vibrate for everything except phone calls, most programs now only sync through wifi or at least not as often, and I turned off Location Services. Long story short-ish, I was able to get 22.5 hrs to a charge, and that's with ~30 min. of talk time, about 1.5 hrs of screen time (not a lot, I know, but my nexus 7 has most of my attention this week), and I check/read email and twitter throughout the day.

I admit I have I have no idea if the 100% charge/pull actually did anything since I changed so many variables at once, but whatever I did seems to have worked. For the past 3 days my phone has been able to pretty much go all day on a single charge w/ moderate usage, and has plenty of charge to spare.

More clues

I know this is an old thread, but I will add some more puzzle to it.

Running Stock, rooted 4.0.4, FI27 with encryption. I do not use an external SD card.

I've intermittently experienced the type of battery drain described in this thread. But it only started happening after I enabled encryption. In my case I know the phone is in the high-battery-drain state via one of a few different behaviors:

1) Battery gets hot in my pocket when I'm in good coverage or Wifi. (We all know the battery heats up when in bad coverage.)

2) Phone appears to be functioning properly but neither 3G nor Wifi will provide data connectivity

3) The Wifi or 3G icons will not appear. All that shows up are the bars for 1X. (this is the most obvious symptom)

The phone is most likely to enter this state upon reboot. These days I know to look out for it so after a reboot I make sure it is functioning properly before I leave it alone. The most common symptom is lack of data connectivity. I haven't found a way to "jump-start" connectivity while the phone is on (Airplane mode toggle does not work), so I end up rebooting until it works. For example, last night I rebooted about 10 times before it started correctly. And, even stranger, once the phone finally was working properly, I found that it had forgotten all my Wifi passwords. Sometimes a Profile Update will correct the problem, but not always.

The next most likely cause of the device going into this state is a switch from 3G to Wifi (or vice-versa) while in the middle of a data session. For example, if I'm streaming audio in the car then arrive home and the device switches to Wifi. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that it's another thing I watch for.

One thing I can link to the beginning of this behavior is turning on encryption. I don't believe I ever had this problem (through all the various updates) before encryption was enabled. (It is possible that this behavior occurred before I turned on encryption and that I attributed it to something else.) Plus, knowing the Samsung disabled encryption on the device in GB makes me suspect that it is not well implemented. For example, in the first-stage boot of an encrypted device, the phone tries to make a 4G/3G connection. Since the phone is not operational (you can't even make a 911 call) I don't see the reason that the data connectivity should boot in this stage. This is not the behavior (for instance) on a Galaxy Nexus. I suspect, but cannot prove or reliably replicate, that this behavior is tied to the problem.

I can unequivocally say that it's a frustrating problem. I don't think its directly caused by Apps or Wifi. I think it's caused by a flaw in the OS/Hardware interaction and is related to data connectivity. I think turning on encryption makes the problem worse. But I don't have any answers... I'm just contributing more clues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol if you ask me the data connectivity has to do with the stupid conections optimizer.. phone is fine on aosp roms.. also i toggle wifi off when away from home and when home turn data off and wifi on and have no issues on any ics rom.. one thing i have is a bulged battery and only problem i see is this batt of my draining faster than it should.. and of course its due to me being a flashaholic and nothing else..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Here's how I get good battery life. I charge it while the phone is off. Simple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CapnBry:
My battery life on ICS was awful too. Best case I was losing 4-5%/hour, normal case was around 10%/hr with the phone sitting idle. I too noticed that it wasn't entering deep sleep. With the Wifi off I'd get consistent 4-5%/hour so clearly there was something wrong there. I installed tcpdump on my wifi router and went searching for what interaction was causing the problem.

Sure enough, every few second the phone would be sending one or more packets to the router. This is with no apps installed, and data sync turned off. Why did the phone constantly need to be broadcasting if no data is actually being transmitted (the packets were unidirectional, the no data was going back to the phone). The answer? BT-AMP

BlueTooth Alternate MAC Protocol (BT-AMP) is a way of drastically increasing Bluetooth throughput by doing the actual data transfers via wifi. What my phone was doing was attempting to open a bluetooth AMP tunnel a handful of times every few seconds. I guess while waiting for a response to these packets the phone stays out of deep sleep. The biggest problem I had is that Bluetooth wasn't even on. That's right, the terrible battery life I was experiencing was due to an unused subsystem keeping the CPU awake for no reason.

So there's why disabling wifi makes battery life that much better. It isn't because wifi takes a lot of juice by itself, it is because the #$*#%& BT-AMP protocol is keeping your CPU awake and transmitting data over wifi.

I dug into this and unfortunately, the BT-AMP code is built into the wifi driver. The terrible news is that this driver is one of the Broadcom proprietary "blobs" for which there is no source code so we can't track down or fix the bug in the driver. There's also no proc or sysfs interface to this part of the driver to disable BT-AMP. Thanks Broadcom! After a few months of ICS and getting about 12 hours of battery life, I went back to EL29 which has a working wifi/BT driver and my phone will actually last from over 3 days with minimal usage.

The reason this may be relevant to this thread is, I'm wondering if something on the SD card activates BT-AMP?

EDIT: Holy smokes I see samsung / broadcom has released source to the dhd driver. Welp looks like I'm about to learn how to compile an Android kernel.

I have noticed that all of a sudden in the past few hours my device has started to get very hot and when 3G is enabled the device suggests that all Wi-Fi connections are not in range, but when I dsable the mobile data, Wi-Fi connects fine, I was running the official LPM rom, and I decided to update to the latest release to see if there was a problem with the modem files, but the problem is still there on the latest rom.

Is this a known problem with the S2, or have I just got a faulty device?.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Hey all,

It looks like Jelly Bean is rolled out to our phones at work (Rogers Mobile - Canada). ). It seems once we update the phone the email stops syncing due to a “security error”.

We’ve tried the following

-	Removing/Adding the account,

-	Ensuring signal coverage

-	Verifying APN info is correct,

-	WIFI connection as opposed to 3G or H.

-	Powercycling

-	We’ve removed the email account, removed the PIN, added the email account, setup a PIN as per email policy, and tried to sync

I was able to fix 1 phone – where when we sync’d the phone it automatically popped up with a request to confirm the phone’s PIN number. When we typed it in twice the email started working.. woot. I can't seem to trick it into "confirming" this PIN tho, (like my last bullet point above).

I haven't wiped out the phone yet for testing...... It will most likely be the next step.

I tried to leave the most info I could here... but if you need anything thats not corporate email settings, I can leave anything else. Mainly I just wanted to see if this was happening for others. It seems to be affecting Telus clients here too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

-Napalm

*Edit - Well, even though the sync settings in the email configuration say it is on - the "Power Bar" widget I threw on the screen showed it being off... so I enabled it through the widgit... then it started working. I also cleared the Email Cache in the Applications > Exchange Services app... which I did at the same time.. I'm not sure which one seems to be 'resolving' this at this time, but will test further. Any thoughts as to why the update seems to disable the sync? As well, I can't find the Sync option in the settings... which is weird... hence me using the Widgit to do it.

** Edit Edit - Ok, well, straight up - it looks like the upgrade does disable the sync. Sync options normally found on ICS (an on/off switch much like the WIFI on off) is no longer avaliable on the Accounts and Sync menu. The only work around I've seen so far is the Power Control Widgit to fully enable the syncing. Odd?

Thanks again.

What a relief you found the reason for the companies 4.1x devices not synchronizing with active sync / exchange sync after update. Thanks! We even worked on certificates because we didn´t find other reasons.

There is another place to switch on the global sync option: phone app, accounts, sync settings.

:highfive: Hi there can someone help me ? I have look here, Google and none prevail.

Here's what I know so far, has to do with my SIM card cause when it's not installed I don't have that problem. It use to be just for CM roms but now a few AOSP and AOKP gives me this error. In CM9 had a french message telling me: erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé

with CM10 I get this message about the process.android. But getting a few now on some AOSP and AOKP roms.

Did a full wipe everytime, tried disabling,deleting everything going to auto sync disabled, deleting contactprovider data I'm really lost and getting annoyed of beeing able to just flash a ''few'' roms.

Does any had the problem fixed ?

MeteoMedia app problem. You're using it, aren't you? ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rener78:
Non, même pas. Not even one app. It's brand new installation and or replacing another one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Because that's normally a problem with the MeteoMedia app or the weather being unable to get your location for some reason.

What is the exact message you get with CM10?

Try to put the phone in English US and select a "known" location for the weather, something such as Montreal if you're used to selecting a smaller city.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rener78:
No cannot be that I have no apps whatsoever about weather. I flash from the original ''stock'' custom roms. I get that problem only when I have my SIM inserted too.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
So do you still get the "erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé" error at boot, or just the com.android.phone process one?

Try to manually select your network operator in the settings instead of automatically, or the other way around.

In CM9/10, Settings > More > Mobile networks > Network Operator.

Nope I don't get the Erreur de la zone...only the process.com.phone error...And I will try as you said in the previous post about setting it manually.

Right now the only workaround I found is to not wipe data when I install the rom and I don't get the error.

On top of working rom I Wipe cache and dalvik then flash a rom (with the process.com.android error) and then flash cache and dalvik again and reboot.

Seems to work ok so far.

But still I will try a full wipe and try manual settings. Will let you know thanks again.

Have you tried logging when error occurs via Logcat or DDMS:

ADB:

1. Connect device via USB.

2. Make sure Debugging is ON.

3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:

adb logcat -v long

DDMS:

1. Connect device via USB.

2. Make sure Debugging is ON.

3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:

ddms

DDMS window will open.

4. Select your device on the top left panel.

5. You can see all messages now being logged. For any problems, where it says 'verbose' choose 'Error' on the dropdown box You can also use 'warn'.

Finally solved

Was about time I was going nuts over this and on top of that I only I think 2 roms that I was able to flash without having this stupid error.

The problem was.......Drum roll Stk.apk a.k.a Sim Tool Kit. I just deleted it from the zip file and flash the new zip and voila stupid problem solved....

Or if it's already installed on your phone just remove with (i used Root Explorer) the apk in system/app and Stk in dalvik then just reboot and no more annoying message and everything works great.

Thanks to all of your replies and solutions...I appreciate it alot

Merci beaucoup tout le monde
