[Q] Up time? - Motorola Photon 4G

How long can you go without rebutting the phone with heavy use and no problems?
I just want to know the longest uptime!
Mine after 30 hours start to get buggy.

I've been up for over a week. No issues here.

I usually go for about a week or two and it starts to get weird. Think I am going to start rebooting every 4-5 days or so maybe.
Would like to know of which apps would do it automatically at a set time/day(besides maybe Tasker).

I re but it 2or3 times a day, keep it my back pocket !!!

Maybe uve installed an app that uses loads of battery? Or using a live widget or wallpaper?

Your battery could be on its last life.
Did you try to take out Battery for 30sec-1min or did you tried to reflash the Firmware?
Try doing a forced full cycle... kill the battery 100%.. Like I mean make it so NOTHING happens when you press your power button, NOTHING, like, no light, no vibrate, nothing.. and keep doing this for 10-20 minutes JUST to be sure ;-)
THEN do a FULL charge...
This has helped me with countless cell phones and ipods. always breaths at least a bit of life

[question]Anyone else having issues with the screen randomly waking?

If so does anyone know what is causing this? Or a solution? I'll see my Photon waking about every 30 min or so when sitting at my desk at work,
No idea, maybe it has rebooted by itself? You can try factory reset and see if it works.

My kid dropped my sleeping phone off the counter yesterday and it woke up and unlocked itself.... not sure how... but sometimes I find it in my pocket "Awake" and unlocked. Started seeing this weirdness when I flashed the 198_7 sbf
Mine wakes up ringing every morning at 5 AM. Really annoying.

Some applications that conflict with each other can cause that, I have a similar experience with my phone vibrating 3 times quickly...

No Sleep Mode

My GS2 will not sleep. It used to be just fine but two months ago I noticed after leaving my phone alone for two hours thar the batter went from full to 30. It constantly happens. I don't use the phone or even touch it and than when I check it and hour or two later its damn near dead. Is there a reason my phone isn't sleeping when its not I'm use?

There's an app that's eating your battery. Download an app called better battery stats and leave your phone alone. Then start that app and see which things have the most usage

I'm looking for battery stats in the apply market I'm not seeing anything. When I look at my battery useage it says the Android OS is using 66% of my battery!!!!!

See that little box that says search at the top? Use that thing.
There's some program not allowing the phone to deep sleep. Look around on how to find what's causing that to happen. (Wakelock)

Has anyone tried this app to improve battery life?
I was completely unaware it existed until today.

I agree. Its always turning my WiFi on. Its not even on the same times I usually do either.

I have been using it and have great results. Wifi always turning on is a pain though. I get around 14hrs.

I tried that app and really noticed nothing even after finishing learning mode I had more of a drain then any savings I uninstalled

Maybe I'm not doing enough to drain my battery, seem to be getting excellent life without a battery app...or could be because I'm comparing to my Thunderbolt! Lol

I tried it but uninstalled it rather quickly. I didn't even have it installed long enough to tell how much difference it made.
After it got out of its "learning" phase, it consistently turned off my GMail push notifications, despite telling it not to, and turned my wifi on all the time. I was getting 2 days of battery life with the phone without the app, so I figured it wasn't worth the effort for me.
re
I have been using it for 5 days and I agree, it works fairly well besides WiFi. Any savings seem to be offset by the constant turning on. Try putting a WiFi widget on your homescreen and manually controlling WiFi, and let the app do everything else.

What exactly is bad about the wifi control? Does turning off at night stop you from getting notifications (ie. email)?
I actually prefer to be on wifi since I'm on a limited shared plan.
I have been using it for over a month and have had no issues with wifi. I usually finish the day with over 60% battery left. That is 13 hours before i put it on the charger.

big difference prior to using the app?
I actually just leave wifi on.. maybe that's why I only get 3 hours of screen time versus other people who get 4 or 5..
I uninstalled it a couple minutes ago lol. Makes my Google Now notifications that tell me when to leave like an hour late. Not cool :crying:
Not to mention how annoying it is to connect to the WiFi at my local McDonalds because it's called "dlink," the default name, which makes my phone "learn" to connect to every dlink. Ugh.
Mine has been in learning mode for like 2 weeks now... I don't know what the deal is... Doesn't really seem to be doing anything at all if you ask me.
I've been using this and get a good 15 hours before having to charge my phone, this is with WiFi off and on 4gLTE the whole day

I get this without any special app: moderate use all day with calls, lots of texts, some web stuff.
why its ask for location ?

Only getting about 4-5 hours of Screen-on time? This might help!

Hi.
I am used to get about 4h30min-5 hours max but after doing this little trick I am getting 3 hours 20 minutes with 55% battery left.
The trick is to go into settings- apps- all, find android system and force close it. Don't worry, it will start up again immediately but the battery draining process seem to be killed.
Android OS is no longer the one causing the most battery drain. Android system has settled down too. Check it out!
(It seems like I got another problem to solve - Facebook is draining a whole lot now cos it's using the GPS. Still getting amazing battery life though!)

Coming from a Droid RAZR, you learn a lot of tricks to milk battery life. Trust me, the things I had to do to get those numbers aren't worth it. The drop off in the battery graph is when I got home and was able to turn everything back on and use it normally.
Right now, I average 18 hrs battery, and 5 hrs screen-on:
I am on stock ROM 11A.
Rooted and TWRP
Screen brightness set to auto/60% max
GPS and WiFi toggled on when I need it.
Everything on EXCEPT WiFi and Verizon location services
No disabled or frozen system apps or processes.
4 push emails.
I average 600 texts a month.
I average 6-8 GB on 4G a month.

For your Facebook GPS wakelock, let it connect and lock onto your GPS and the wakelock should stop. If you're closing up Facebook before it has a chance to lock, it will create the wakelock. If you don't want FB to connect to your GPS, make sure GPS is off before you open FB. Also, turning off GPS while in FB before it can lock will create the wakelock as well.
I can't express my gratitude enough. I reinstalled it to make it work lol

You're talking about the facebook part or force stop android OS?
The android system force closure. I uninstalled Facebook and downloaded fast for Facebook since I'm tired of the gps issue.

Actually, the numbers are legit. I will admit though, I've never been able to get close to that again. My average when I first got the phone was between 6-7 hours screen on time and about 12 hours battery life. Those 2 days, I just happened to be working massive overtime. Almost all of the screen on time was the second day. The dropoff on the graph was when I got home, turned everything on, and actually used it. It also helped that my work provides me a work phone which I was using during that time instead.
I have tried to hit those numbers again, but I can't, it was a one time deal which is why I took a screenshot. In my head, I'm telling my self that the battery is starting to get worn, but the truth is, I can't put it down long enough or put up with all of the disabled features.
The best I've been able to do since then is 18 hours battery life, about 3 hours screen on. And, 7 hours screen on, 10 hours battery. At this point, I no longer care. I'm happy with my 15 hours battery and 4-5 hours screen on.
It would be more if the battery wasn't starting to wear out....

You have to do this whenever you reboot your phone. I usually turn my phone off, charge it and then turn it on. The first thing I do after putting my pin code in, is to force close andros system.
