Hi there. I've cracked my Nexus 7 32GB 3G Screen. I was going to try to buy a replacement screen, however it appears that I could just buy an N7 8GB Wifi, and just used the screen there onto my N7 screen. Then I could sell the remaining parts of the N7 8GB screen.

My question is - does the N7 8GB Screen fit the N7 32GB 3G Screen?

Since upgrading to 4.1.2 I'm suffering a bit with battery life. Looking at BBS, in the past 57 minutes my battery has gone from 100 to 92% I've had 242 wakelocks from GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint

Now when I was on 4.1.1 I suffered terrible battery life until I unticked "Use wifi to help determine location", and then I was averaging about 32-34 hours to a full battery (about 3% per hour), great! I was very happy with that. Now I'm losing 7-10% per hour and this wakelock seems to be the issue.

After Googling about a bit there doesn't seem to be a concrete solution, so any help is appreciated.

Hi Eggman, thanks for your reply.

I should have mentioned in the first post, from what I've read it isn't actually Google+ that causes this, it's a general Google Account process, and to be fair I shouldn't have to log out of G+ to save battery, I don't with FB or Twitter. (I'm not shooting the messenger here)

Anyway, luckily I don't use G+ so it I have just loaded it up and logged out, let's see if it changes anything. :)

My girlfriends Nexus 4 had this wakelock and it was draining her battery pretty quickly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbeans:
Ive had this issue for a while now, its a massive wakelock compared to the rest of them!

The solution that worked for me, although I need help with it, is to disable all the 'gtalk' entries under Google Framework Services in the app called Autorun Manager.

Freezing the app, or logging out has no effect as its linked with Gmail and Play store.

HOWEVER, when i disabled these entries i therefore couldnt get gmail to auto sync anymore (didnt try play store).

SO, there are about 5 or so entries in the framework that have the word 'gtalk'. If someone could find the entry that disables this lock but still keeps gmail (and whatever else) working properly that'd be great.

Hey thanks man. But i didnt really understand the solution. Can you explain in simpler way. I have this wakelock mostly when im connected to wifi of my university (it has proxy server).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRex:
From what I've personally seen, that wakelock is related to some as-yet-discovered google service doing it's thing over Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi only. When connected to my house's Wi-Fi, I've seen in a couple of times...but there is a mobile AP at my work and I am guessing they've locked things up tight and might be restricting certain traffic.... in any case, when I am connected to the APs at work, that wakelock GOES NUTS. I disable Wi-Fi... and POOF! the wakelock vanishes. As soon as I pop it back in, the WL cranks back up again. I turned off Sync and it still keeps cranking. I tried disabling google's backup, you name it.. still there. I haven't quite found out exactly what process is throwing that WL... is there a way to find that out?

Something seems to be trying to phone home over my Wi-Fi, can't, and its throwing up a WL while it keeps trying. But when I'm running over the Mobile network, it's happy as a clam and never heard from. Is there a way to find the exact process/service that is triggering this wakelock?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
Bump.

Much phone doesn't have Google Talk installed but I still get this wake lock. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRex:
I mentioned it in the post above, but (for me at least) its a data connectivity issue that has an unfortunate name. Where are you seeing it? On Mobile Data? A nice open Wi-Fi? I only get this when I'm either on a locked down public Wi-Fi (like they have at my work) or have some connectivity issues with Mobile Data. I can only assume this is caused by some Google service trying to connect to something, can't, and its throwing a wakelock as it retries.

Unfortunately, short of just turning off all data in the spots where you see this all the time, I haven't figured out a way to eliminate it. For example, if I am at work, if I turn off Wi-Fi and go Mobile... the wakelock pretty much goes away. So in that case, its a trade off between battery life and not eating up my mobile data while I'm at work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oae08:
100% true. I have this wakelock ALOT when im connected to my work wifi that has proxy. I guess the proxy is blocking some ports that google needs to connect and keeps retrying thus causing the wakelock. I just wish we can someone how turn this "retrying" off because it will save much battery in such situations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRex:
The features I would love to see most at this point is a way to programmatically disable Google location services, a way to tell it to only check every so often... And a way to tell this wakelock to shove it

Fixed

There is a solution to block GTALK. I've gotten it to stop draining my battery. It took me forever to find this fix. It's hidden on one of the post by TEAM KERNALIZER. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39425794 Post #2.

Basically, the instruction asks to add a line that reads "0.0.0.0 mtalk.google.com" to the host file under /etc/hosts

But because I use AdAway and it updates the host file constantly, it will get overridden every time. So instead of editing the host file manually, inside AdAway I have an option to add my own list. So I just added "mtalk.google.com" to it and it blocks it like an Ad.

Since then, I have 0 count on GTALK wakelock and its using 0.0% battery. YAY!!!!! FINALLY!!!!

I hope you guys will find this helpful for those that have the same problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRex:
AWESOME... that worked like a charm... I added that in and *poof* no more gtalk wakelocks.

Question is what that site is used for.... and what gets messed up now that it can't get there. Haven't found that out yet, so as far as I am concerned, its a solution.

Sweet.

gmail sits there saying "syncing". It did massively change the SYNC usage down to 0.5% (I reflashed the rom to remove the change and the SYNC went up to 25% after a few hours). What really sucks is I have 2 accounts that get synced to my phone, each process uses 20-25% of the battery.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
My battery has been draining dramatically more quickly than before, starting a few weeks ago. On days when I rarely used the phone I would have 80%+ battery left after a 9 hour working day. Now I'm lucky if I have 50% left after 9 hours

So I tried a little experiment - disabled sync on ALL accounts, disabled GPS and all location services (including location updates), and left the phone untouched for just over an hour in my study, just after unplugging it. Wifi was enabled. The battery had drained 6% in that short space of time, yet I hadn't even lifted the phone from the desk.

For some reason GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is still working, even though I had disabled all Google sync services.

I noticed also that Friendcaster was also trying to do something, even though I disabled sync and all notifications. I guess the app is just behaving badly.

But does anyone know why GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is still consuming battery with all Google sync services off? Is there any way I can find which app is the root caller of this service?

This info may be of some use for those having this problem. I too was experiencing massive drains due to the wakelocks, but I just saw an email from our networks team which says:

(translated from french)

"Certain wifi users on Android reported problems with battery drain related to GTALK. Indeed, it seems like there were some changes made by Google, Gtalk having been changed from Jabber (5222) to Jabber/SSL (5223).

We have adjusted the configuration"

I have no idea what Jabber is, but looks like it was due to a port change?

I've re-enabled my wifi so will see if I start getting the wakelocks again.

Will report back.

Update: well it *seems* better, but still getting the wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN. Maybe not as much as before, but when I'm on 3G I don't see them at all.

I noticed that when on my work wifi, gmail doesn't sync properly eventhough I can access it fine (have to manually refresh the inbox) so maybe it is related to that. I will relay this info to my network guys, maybe they can narrow down the problem once and for all.

Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1969:
Let us know how that goes. What I notice myself is that since the network guys at work changed something on the wifi, i'm only getting 1 wakelock instead of 2, but still draining battery like crazy.

Gmail works, Chat works, but my signal is grey like if I wasn't connected to the Google services, and my email are not pushed. However, I have no problems accessing the emails if I open the app (and I am getting push notifications for things like play store, and other google apps - and of course non-google apps)

So it's something that's blocking some kind of heartbeat, or something that communicates with a google server, causing it to keep trying and trying and trying. I just have no idea what to look for to solve this though...

I'm no network expert, but does this make sense to anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
The GTalk service, despite it's name, is not just Gtalk.

It's used for everything Push related. This service is used by Push services like WhatsApp and Gmail. This is actually a good thing as not every app has to keep open a separate connection which SAVES battery.

If you deactivate it (i.e in google service frameworks) you save a ton of battey, kill the wakelocks but you are no longer able to receive push messages.

We just have to find out what makes the wakelocks go wild. On my phone they are existant but not in an unreasonable number and not so much that they drain the battery.

I don't know if you guys are still having problems with this, but I have some good news: my network team at work was able to fix the problem by either opening additional ports or modifying settings on the firewall - I am asking for more details so I can tell you all what to check.

before the changes I couldn't push apps from the desktop play store, I couldn't receive hangouts calls, and gmail wasn't getting push either. And of course the wakelocks draining the battery. The signal icons would stay grey, indicating I wasn't fully connected to the google services.

Now after the changes my signal icons are back to blue, gmail/play store push is working fine, and I can receive hangouts calls. So far I do not see any wakelocks caused by the GTALK_ASYNC... process.

Before changes, after 3h28m the battery was at 79%

Today, after 8h34m the battery is at 75% - HUGE difference (phone usage is pretty much the same, ie just sitting on my desk while I work :P
