I don't know exactly how long this has been happening, but recently I noticed that my phone doesn't seem to fully sleep. Opening Spare Parts it tells me that it is awake pretty much 100% of the time (see photos)... more than likely what's been raping my battery. Also, I have no idea what "Phone on 0.0%" means. Right now I am running Bionix 2.1, Dragon Kernel 3.1.2 w/Voodoo enabled, and KB1 modem.

Hopefully I gave enough info to get some help with this. Thanks in advance!
If I had to guess..it would be the Dragon Kernel raping your battery. Try a stock kernel and see if you get the same results
I understand that using Dragon Kernel will use more battery than stock, but has anyone else using it experienced the 100% awake thing? I am more concerned about the phone not "sleeping" ever which has to REALLY be using the battery.

Check the settings and make sure your display and other settings it may be stuck (not sure how that could happen) but try messing with the various settings then reboot and check to see if that works. If not it may just be a quirk in the rom/kernel and reflash a different rom or kernel
Well so far I have ODIN'd, reflashed Bionix 2.1, and flashed a different kernel with the same results... 100% time spent without sleeping. Any other ideas?
I'm having the same issues as the OP. I'm currently running eugene's lates kernel in the Dev forum. I forget which number it was.
I'm starting to think it might be an app. I uninstalled a few apps and I haven't found the culprit yet. About to uninstall everything and start from there. According to System Panel, Spare Parts is a cpu hog or whatever.

Hi all,
This bug has been bugging me for quite a while now, probably since July with whatever ROM version from back then right up to XWKK5 now.
On my dock, I have the usual Phone, Contacts, Go SMS Pro and Applications icons.
However, when I finish using a memory-intensive app (such as my browser) and go back to the launcher's homescreen, it will sometimes reload the homescreen. The issue is that during the reloading, the dock icons will show up as Navigation (Navigon), Linpack, Quadrant and Applications! Once the reloading of the launcher homescreen is done after about 3 seconds, the icons then go back to being Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications again.
I noticed that while it is showing Navigation, Linpack and Quadrant icons clicking on them actually opens up that specific app! So it is not an issue of icon appearance but the actual shortcut as well!
Anyone had this problem before? Pics below:

Thanks for confirming, at least I am not alone. So far I've managed to avoid it by rearranging the icons in the app drawer. It's weird as to why it would work in that way.
Edit: Didn't work
I see this regularly - different icons that get replaced by the 'real' dock icons after a second or two.
I see this too. It happens a lot for me, and from stock to the newest versions, including leaks and the KK5 ROMs. It happens a lot more for me because of Widgetlocker.
Is there any way to keep TouchWiz Launcher from exiting from memory? I suspect this is why this keeps happening.
Clear TwLauncher
Go to settings> Applications>Manage Applications> All> TW Launcher and click on clear data. TW will reset with stock arrangement of widgets. As for app drawer, everything will be in alphabetical order. If you have any folders, it will be gone. But i think it will fix the problem of the icons rearranging itself.
Happens sometimes to me aswell. I solved by flashing a custom kernel
Anyome tried this? I don't have my phone at the moment to try it. Let me know if it helps anyone out.

It seems to have reduced the frequency of reloads, but it still happens.
I'm running ICS Passion with Kiss kernel 2.2 right now. My battery has always been iffy however, so i don't think it's the ROM.
I'd appreciate any help though:
This was last night. battery was fully charged at around 3 am.
I killed all apps.
by 11 am with very little use, it was down to 10%

When i look at the Top Apps, nothing looks like it's using too much CPU, so i'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone explain?
Why would i lose so much battery, when it looks like the phone was sleeping?
What am i missing here?
Thank you!
Have u tried a app call CPUSPY?
Its in the play store (android market)
That app let's u see if your phones really in deep sleep...
Hi krackerjac,
Thanks for the advice. I installed CPU Spy this morning....
1000 MHz 7% 0.35.45
200MHz 89% 6.51.47
no deep sleep, even though i didn't use the phone mch all day.
System Panel shows a 100% drop in 8 hours.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
It should be on deep sleep most of the time. What background apps are you running?

That's what I can't figure out. I think google sync is always on, From the Top Apps screen of System Panel, it seems that system and system processes are the highest consumers, but I'm not sure how else to tell?
Download Watchdog and see what apps are using your CPU. Also, turn off auto sync, as they might be keeping the phone awake by constantly trying to fetch new emails, contacts, etc.
Sent from my amazing G2x running Bionix Reloaded v1.4
I have Watchdog. it says Android System 5.4%, System UI 1.6%, Google Services Framework 1.0%. Everything else is below 1%
With auto-sync, is there a way to control this automatically. For example, i don't need autosync to operate between 1 and 7am, but want it to turn on again at 7am, and need it on the whole day so i can get my emails.

I don't think so, you can change the frequency of the fetching(updating) however. Or put the power control widget on your home screen and turn it on when you need to, and off when you don't.

Try the Icy Glitch Kernel and see if that helps with battery life.
Also, try the AOKP rom, its more or less the same thing as Passion, but works a lot better than Passion did, at least for me.
Ended up downloading an app called Better Battery Stats. Found that my GPS location provider was running down the battery. This was because the Beautiful Widgets was set to geolocation, and so gps was pretty much running all the time.
Much better battery life now.
Thanks for all your help!
Firstly I have a HTC one S, stock, not rooted.
I have disabled everything twitter related, however, in better battery stats, the process "tpd" is still showing and using a fair bit of my battery, does anyone know what is going on and how to truly disable twitter?

I have snowstorm and sense weather syncing every few hours and gmail push as usual, I haven't got anything else syncing.
Disabled most of sense apps apart from gallery, dialer/people, messaging, weather and a few other things.
I don't know for sure but I would guess you haven't disabled Twitter completely. There's got to be some app that's still running in the background. You need to root your phone and start uninstalling things.
Thanks for the reply
Everything that I can see related to twitter is disabled.
- twitter
- twitter for HTC sense
- TwitterAPIEngine
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I have also disabled all the sense friends stream stuff.
Really don't want to root my phone just yet.
Try downloading Watchdog Lite from the Play Store. This app shows you which apps are using the most CPU cycles (and therefore consuming the most power). This could maybe allow you to identify which app this "tpd" process is associated with. (Having said that, BetterBatteryStats does usually show the app name as well as the process name, as you can see in the other entries in your screenshot, so if BBS couldn't identify it, Watchdog might not either. But the Lite version is of course free, so you may as well try it)
Ok thanks for the suggestion, will give that a shot and see
Just got a reply from someone else there regarding this and this is what he said:
It looks like tdp is just a system process betterbatterystats hasn't recognised, like surfaceflinger but added by HTC or just a new ICS process. (the PID is 0?)
If you look under Settings>Power>Battery use>Android System>included packages it can be one of those.
All the twitter related stuff will start off as something like com.htc.engine.twitter or com.twitter.Android in betterbatterystats. TDP is also a 3rd party twitter app last updated in 2010, that's probably where the twitter link came from?

And I just checked there and this is what comes under "android system":
As well as system UI being listed there.
I will email the developer of better battery stats to see what the "tpd" process is.
So I've been trying to reduce the amount my phone wakes up. So far in gsam, the ones that consern me are android system and google services. Android system held my phone awake for 1.5 hrs and woke it 70 times. Google services was held awake for 22seconds but woke it 63 times. These are my 2 biggest wakelocks. I have sync turned off etc. How can I stop/ reduce the amount of wake locks?
Well android system is your phone Lol so that has to stay on or you have no ROM at all
And Google services is recommended to be on
If you need info on what the services do than go into the manage apps section than scroll the right so it says all at the top and click on the service and scroll down and it will tell you why that service is needed/ triggered by
Not all of the services will tell you exactly what there for but if your only worried about those 2 than your phone is fine
EDIT: if you scroll to the the running section in app manager and click on a service it gives you what you need to know
this is mine

i know there needed, but waking the phone that many times....?
Are you using latitude? Try disabling google location services to see if that cuts down on the number of wake ups.
Of course if you have sync off you'd think it would kill that too, just taking a guess.

"google messaging service" & "media" are constantly running. How would I end those? Do I even need messaging service? I can't find it on android tuner in the system app sections.
There's a thread on media server wakelocks and someone said it may be due to corrupted media files. Check it out:

2 mediadbmigration service
i am constantly having #2 run. #1 will always run if you have corrupted files, etc. also my music player is no worky. lol so i have a few things to fix. then retry again. gonna mod some stuff too lol
I've tried some methods like:
App Ops (root) - Disabled location and wakelock
Wakelock Terminator - Prevent wake lock (with filters: NIpCollectorWakeLock NIpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator)
The battery usage is still high (higher than the screen usage), and the awake time on battery history occurs a lot (see image).
Has anyone fixed this? Or has anyone just generally improved battery life through something similar?
Kernal: 2.2 bonuzzz
ROM: Eudemony Rom Alpha V3

I'll also give it a go. Trying with an app that simulates init.d executions also, so if it works, I may be able to automate it on boot.
Thanks for the heads up. Will report back in a day or so

So, at the end of the day. I tried many different approaches to solve this issue such as:
preventing wakelock
using applications like greenify to reduce usage
removing google services permissions
preventing syncing
None of these seemed to help a lot (and some even made battery lift worse!).
So, I've removed all of my battery saving apps etc, and have just resorted to disabling location (when I don't need it).
That seems to have done the trick and my phone is no longer waking up nearly as much as it was before.
I know its not the best fix, and its just a band-aid, but its better than terrible battery life.
Hopefully someone has a better fix soon.
Thanks
Tried "Amplify"?
You could also try an Xposed Module called "Amplify" to limit your wakelocks. Look here "[Mod][Xposed] Amplify - Battery Extender - Control alarms, services, and wakelocks" for detailed information.
You will need root and Xposed Framework.
