Hey guys,
Just updated my facebook app last night... (Check the screenshot)
Its giving me massive battery drain now, overnight the stats show its been awake for 8+hrs.
3% per hour battery drain overnight whilst in airplane mode!
Overall battery usage of 17% (usually around 2-3%)
W.....T......F!
Also, the app seems to stay stuck st the bottom of the screen after a refresh.
Anyone else getting big battery drain from this app now?

Yes it gets stuck on refresh for me as well. Check that you are not logged into chat. It drains a lot of battery.

No such problems, i have mine set to refresh at 2 hour intervals and always sign out of chat.
TBH the Android facebook app is still not great and i use m.facebook.com through by browser more,much better.

Ive never changed any settings on the facebook app.
Edit: do i need to log out of chat (go offline) on the app everytime i load it up?
The chat is draining all the battery, but i dont understand why....
Version 1.6.4 had a chat messaging service and that never drained my battery, what gives?

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat
This thread explains and shows what Android OS is and is not - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18140918
Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)
My battery life has always been great; usually around 30% remaining when I go to bed.
Just in the last few days however I noticed it draining very fast with minimal usage.
Tonight, I'm down to 65% after just 4 hours (25mins screen on with lowest brightness and about 6 text massages, 20 what's app messages recieved, 1 missed call)
I have a CONSTANT wakelock mostly from *network-location-cell-update*, please see the screen shots.

The only thing I've done differenty recently is switch from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher (since changed back due to battery issue) and installed a few games from the Humble Bundle.
Latitude is always switched off and I have no facebook, twitter or push email.
Although *network-location-cell-update* seems to have a huge wakelock, it looks liek it's only used 4% of the total battery....
I'm really confused!
probably been answered somewhere else but try switiching off "use wireless networks" in location and secruity
I always used to leave that switched on with no problems; however because of this problem I have switched it off the last few days and it doesn;t resolve anything.
I don;t understand how this issue can just crop up out of no where...
Do you use latitude? Turn it off it's a battery killer. I think i've seen that exact same wakelock while using latitude.

That is quite useless on newest smartphones, because phones have Li-Ion of Li-Po batteries, which do not have socalled "memory effect", that means calibrating the battery won't help(that includes removing battery_stats.bin file).
To the topic starter: How much faster does it drain?
Take a look in the Battery Usage, what does it show there? If you can, take a screenshot and attach it to your message.

I guess you have too many background processes running which all consume data.

If you have automatic synchronization on, turn the time down, I mean that make it update after longer time for all apps, twitter, Facebook, email etc

Hi everyone.
Just being curious and wanted to ask if these wakelocks are normal during deep sleep on the S3.
Google services are always at the top count and I have no idea why because I've already signed out/turned off sync in most Google related apps. (ie. Google+, gtalk, network location, etc.)
Facebook is also quite suspicious as I didn't get any notification from Facebook on that day as my refresh interval on manual.
Here are some screenshots.

}
As you can see, I'm getting 116 wakelocks from Google services and 74 from Facebook in 10 hours plus, sometimes it hits even higher count in lesser time frame.
My S3 is stock without rooting.
Can someone help me on this?
Regards
P.S 372 wakelocks for Google services.

116 wake ups, not wake locks.
It would be a wakelock if it were held for a period of time.
You are always going to have wake ups (alarms) and wakelocks, you just need to find the ones that shouldn't be there.
My advice is get rid of the Facebook app, it is the biggest piece of **** to ever be released to the public, its a known battery hog.
also download betterbatterystats from xda for a more accurate account of your wakelocks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I thought they were the same thing. Bahhh.
I'm still very new to Android so I hope you guys can bare with me. (;
Please look at the second screenshot on the OP, 372 wakelocks. Can anyone explain this?
Can someone also explain about the included packages and processes?

It's not 60% left, it drained from 93% to 33% in 10 hours plus. Around 3 hours screen on time with quite a heavy usage.
- 3G cellular data on for the whole time
- Asphalt 6 for half an hour
- offline GPS navigation for half an hour
- maximum volume music playback through speaker for around 3-4 hours
- internet browsing for around 1 hour
- whatsapp for the whole time with breaks
The rest was just on idle.
Is this bad?

I have a weird issue with my nexus. About a week ago I was using it bed time with about 50% battery, put it down and woke up next day and battery was completely depleted. I was watching a flash video so I thought maybe Puffin running flash could cause this so I ignored it. (maybe it continued to run in the background)
Today however, I wrote up to find out my Nexus had turned off again over night without the battery being depleted. It's as if it decided to turn off on its own. I want doing anything fancy with it either. Was just browsing, put it on my desk, wake up next day and it was turned off.
Had anyone else got this issue? Or have an idea what might be wrong,?
It actually happened to me again last night. Is there a log file somewhere I can have a look at that does system crashes or something before I RMA it?

On the shield there is an auto shutdown feature where you can have the tablet shutdown after a given duration of inactivity.
I don't know if there is a similar setting on the Nexus 9 but it may be a possibility.

Could be that. Any idea where this setting may be or if it is enabled by default?

Dont think the Nexus has such option
My Nexus 9 has done this a few times. Last night I started a movie in bed, couldn't finish it, so I went to bed. I woke up and went to check my tablet and the double tap wouldn't wake it up. I had to hold the power button down for 30 seconds before It booted.
Ok, @ombadboy, could you please show a screen shot of settings/battery/Usage.
This should show a list of apps which are consuming your battery. From the one which most consumes it to the least.
Then just to make sure also post a screenshot of settings/apps/running.
From this we can see which apps have highest running priority, and are using too much RAM.
