[solved]Phone awake - Motorola Droid X2

Any one else when they look at their battery usage graph and see that the.phone is awake for large chunks of time?
Even if I haven't turned the screen on for hours it will have large chunks of time where it is awake. Not little quick sync periods. Large chunks as if I had turned the screen on and was doing things.
Even when I have background data, auto sync, and wifi off
also happens when I have data completely off. Aldo happens when I use airplane mode as well
And it isn't any apps I installed since it happens as well when im just straight stock. I've even gone as far as to freeze a ton of apps but still I see large chunks of awake time.
Is there any suggestions people have for me?
Or can others post shots of their battery usage graph so I can compare?
I will post mine when im in break so people can see what I am talking about.
I wish I could figure this out since I know my battery would last a LOT longer if it wasn't awake for so long so often.
Thanks for any input.

I go a step further and not only have I noticed it, there are days where I simply don't sleep and I'll do a 24hr all nighter and even 48hr all nighter.
At times when I'm doing some research and such I've noticed my phone simply wake up at random times as if I hit a button. The screen becomes illuminated and I sit there at the lock screen.
I've never been able to figure out why though.

Its not that my screen comes on.
The bar that shows "screen on" will have a long blank space but rights above it there will be two or three long chunks where it was awake. I understand the OS wakes up at times but I don't think it should be awake for as long as it shows.
Its usually a small dash of awake followed by a small space and then a large chunk of awake time. Small space of not awake then another large chunk awake. Then not awake for a while again. I can't figure out what is causing it to do that. Its not like I ha e email set up and its syncing a large email. I don't sync anything except gmail and it happens even with background data off and auto sync off..

Here is a link to my screen shot of my battery usage graph.

Does anyone else have awake time like that?
I would have uploaded the picture into the post but I can't attach it from my phone browser.(if anyone knows a way I can plz let me know )

My awake time is also like that. Not concerned about it b/c I get "great" (relatively speaking, of course) battery life. I typically plug in to charge when I go to bed and usually the battery isn't close to dead yet.

okay so I did some messing around wit my phone and I think I may have solved my issue.
I turned the settings in date/time OFF for using network provided times. that is really all I changed.
and now even with sync on and background data on I am not seeing those huge chunks of awake time when the screen has been off.
if someone else could confirm this for me it would be great
I have also made it a point to make certain I reboot after any charging and I am sure that's helping as well
here is a screenshot http://db.tt/g6Njgfrx
I know it is only 3hrs but it has been looking like that all day as opposed to my screenshot from earlier in thread

edit...no more dropboxing links for pics for me! YAY!! LOL I finally figured out how to do it from my phone...took me long enough Hahaha..
so there is the side by side comparison for anyone interested ....the time spent awake was unacceptable to me before I changed that setting...if this stays this way I will be a happy man indeed...more battery life here I come lol

ash,
WoW this is a great find. Could it really be this simple?
This phone is just full of undocumented setting's that have
a global effect. What a gem I'll be trying this get back.
If this was helpful, be sure to press the thanks button!

yeah. I was going thru all ny settings and app cuz this was driving me nuts. it even did it still after a data wipe.
then I figured hey what the hell. its gotta be network time because that's really the only thing that could be going on in the background when I have everything else turned off.
and so far so good. my awake bars are looking much more in line with my use and data syncing.
I do not believe I changed anything else to get this result. as I said. turned that off and reboot after EVERY charge and everything seems to be in order now. this issue had been driving me insane since I've had this phone. I feel so relieved its over with.(knock on wood. this phone is so weird at times that I hope it doesn't revert and start waking up for no reason again.)

Sprint isn't going to be able to tell you anything. Most of the people there barely know anything about the phone itself. Get a task manager that tracks your usage and figures out what exactly is using your battery at what times and you can figure it out for yourself. Try SystemPanel.
I had this problem on the og EVO as well as the 3d I wouldn't call it a bug it just is what it is

Wow ive managed to make it happen everytime. When the battery gets to about 23 % it falls to 14 and really puzzled by this. Is it a major problem or does the battery need calibration
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It's gonna be a calibration/software issue. Either your phone is reading the battery wrong, or the battery is sending the wrong signal.
If it was actually dropping that fast, your battery would explode.
I'm dead serious too.
Try this: When it does the drop thing, reset your phone, and see what % the battery shows when it comes back on. It should jump back up to around your original % (23 you said?). Maybe a middle ground of around 20.
If it doesn't right itself in a week, swap it out.
I waited for mine to discharged till 9% and it didn't happen at all here is a pic I took
I have noticed this as well.

same here the battery turns yellow then almost instant its read !
I had the same issue, kind of ignored it. The drop seemed instant but then my phone would hang out on 14% for a long ass time.
One day I had around 35% and did a data reset (not for the battery issue), just to see if my 3g speeds increase. After the reboot my phone came back up said I had less then 2% battery left, it shut off on me, I turned it back on, and it stated I had 30ish % left. Ever since then my battery hasn't done that drop.
Here's a link to the thread, try it, can't hurt anything I guess. I still don't know if maybe the data reset, reset my battery stats, or maybe the restart did something, who knows. All I know is I had the same issue and don't anymore

[Q] [Siyah 2.6.7] Kernel Wakelock

Can anyone enlighten me as to how svnet kernel wakelock drains my battery.
Lost 20% overnight, BBS shows 90% phone awake during that period mostly due to svnet.
I have JD ultimate set up, so shouldnt be running sync all night long tbh

JD uses more battery than it saves, it could be causing something to try to sync, but as its unable to it keeps the phone awake.
Try posting the dump or SS's of the BBS screen.
svnet means something is downloading, or trying to.
Try disabling JD.
That's a shame, I've bought the premium version of JD.
It should put the phone to sleep it between wifi syncs

What is should do and what it does are worlds apart, it sounds great but mostly it causes worse battery drains.
Lots of apps are not great, and when they try to sync, they will keep bloody well trying until they manage to, mindless of the battery drain.
And with the standard sleep policy on wifi, wifi will turn itself on and off when needed, also the new wifi chipsets are not like the old ones, there idle drain is almost non existent.
Just try to keep the phone in deep sleep as much as you can (Good to see you using betterbatterstats) and you will be fine.
I will disable JD this night and compare,
Too bad I can't get a refund for JD anymore, such a shame

Market refund window sucks, shame its not still 24h, you could always email them and ask for a refund and it doesn't do what it says it does, depends if they have a longer money back policy, I know some devs do.
But your best bet is to wait and see first.
I only lost about 1-2% over a 10h night so its doable.

Its well posted that JD can cause battery drain though some users find it works .
Worth reading all the battery faq posts to learn better battery habits .

Agreed, but one can never be sure without trying
So basicly you think the wakelock is caused by JD trying to open connection to sync but never closing them, thus not putting the phone in deep sleep?

App tries to sync, JD has network turned off, app still wants to sync, keeps the phone awake trying to sync without a network connection.
Also having a huge problem with the kernel wake lock.. Lost 75% in 10 hours, with very little actual usage. Could it have to do with Toggle2g? Please help! Thanks

"wlan_rx_wake" is killing you. That's the WiFi drain bug. For me, Entropy figured out that part of the reason was due to my uVerse router spamming me with a multitude of ARP requests and thus my router was waking up my phone constantly when it should've been in deep sleep.
This happened when I was on UCKK6. I've since done a data wipe/factory reset and gone back to a UCKH7 baseband since UCKH7 seems to have teh filters working and the phone doesn't seem to respond to the uVerse router's spam.
Are you on UCKK6? If so, you might want to wipe and revert back to UCKH7.
Or if you have a uVerse router and want to keep UCKK6 (for whatever reason) - someone else here posted how to put a router behind the uVerse router. This way uVerse still handles all the IPTV stuff but the actuall wireless duties can be conducted by the 2ndary router which won't spam your phone to death.
If you search for it, you should be able to find the instructions on how to put the second router behind the uVerse router...again, assuming this is the issue you have.
Good luck.

[Q] MIUI and SGS2

Right i know youve had a million people ask what the best rom/kernel/modem is best for battery life and i also know their is no actual answer for this.
Im not askin that question... basically..
My girlfriends phone battery life is terrible no matter which miui rom/kernel/modem she is using she never really gets more than 10-12 hours battery life and this is with basically no usage whatsoever - litterally 2-3 15 minute phone calls, a half hour of music a few texts throughout the day and then intermittent facebook usage, no gaming no videos no long calls nothing else...
at night if she doesnt charge her phone it will go from 95% battery to 50-60% by the morning (6-8 hours later).
She doesnt have any background apps (i dont think - pretty sure) nothing intensive is ever running on the phone, and shes a very light user...
Basically i want to know WTF is goin on because she keeps moaning to me about it being a **** phone that she cant use for more than half a day without it dying.
She is runnin the latest MIUI 2.1.20 (5 or 6th version ive flashed over the past 6 months) with MIUI kernel and the ke3 modem i recently wiped the phone/cache/dalvik/internal storage.. EVERYTHING and then did a fresh install of everything to see if she would get a better battery - but no difference...
is there anything i can do to test if something is wrong? test background apps? test deep sleep mode?
i know battery life isnt spectacular on these phones but this definitely isnt as its supposed to be - 10-12 hours!!
Ive tried the siyah kernel with no difference, and there just isnt any apps or anything intensive running that i can stop to reduce the battery drain.
What can i do to solve this frustrating problem and stop her naggin me about it?
ANY help/pointers/advice/jokes would be greatly appreciated anything at all
Wakelocks, wakelocks and wakelocks. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Oh i just remembered she did ONCE have an awesome version of MIUI that gave her 1-2 days of battery life with regular usage, but after about a month of using it she started gettin force closing on EVERYTHING, so i just updated it and it seemed fixed...
I dont know which version of MIUI it was but i know it was the last version before the *no service glitch* version of MIUI was released (something is telling me V1.9.16???) if somebody knows that would be a great help because i could re-flash that version back on and see if the battery starts working like it should

Stop posting for 10 minutes and do some reading. I don't know if that is what's wrong, because you haven't looked at the wakelocks yet.
i have read it all... and from what i gather this will tell me exactly what is destroying the battery? (causing wakelocks)
and then i can stop/removce/BURN the app thats doing it... thus solving the issue?
Right well the betterbatterystats app is installed, i guess i'll get her to leave it running for a day and post my findings...
i have found out she doesnt use an app for facebook, just the web browser, so basically nothing staring me in the face that could be causing the crap battery.
right well "mediascannerservice" is coming up at at 95.4% on partial wakelocks....
And in the battery usage settings folder its floating around 60%
So im thinking that this is whats killing the battery, so how do i go about fixing this problem?

Could be some dodgey media on her SD card keeping the media scanner running, best bet is to remove all media, videos, pics, etc, and see what happens.
Take a screenshot of the wake lock part of the screen.
Also use os monitor to see if anything is using a lot of CPU.

right thanks for the help so far guys, in her gallery she had a folder of "downloaded" pics which was 160 odd pictures of funny images she decided to download and keep in her gallery... i dont know why - but they have been deleted now
will post an update
EDIT** in the battery monitor settings she has "android OS" at 43% is this normal?

Depends what else is going on, but if she's not using the screen much and the media scanner is going nuts then yes, as I think that falls under Android os.
Would still be good to get that screenshot.

any thoughts guys?
Was it the media scanner goin crazy and i/she should now expect a half decent battery?
From what you've said it seems it was a media scanner issue. Try it for a day & see how it goes. That's the only way you're going to find out.

Hmm. You said you "always charge your battery from dead flat" before. That made it sound like you were doing it on purpose. But I digress.
Also, you should have no problems having the battery go the full day, (I can go the full day no problem - unless I'm constantly using the phone) unless you have something holding a wake lock. Have you installed BetterBatteryStats and monitored your wake locks to see if something is misbehaving?
Yes I have wakelock issues, But last time I tried to give starts thier was an issue with how I submitted it from the phone.
Anyway I sleep very little, and my phone is almost ALWAYS on the lack of a "proper job" means I don't have an 8 hour period of time where my phone isn't getting much use.
Do NOT worry its normal the triangle appeared because your battery has totally finished just Wait for 2 minutes and the triangle will disappear

Well, you should focus on solving those, and your battery life will improve.
Otherwise, my only other advice is to simply have more chargers readily available. I keep one at my office, a car charger each in my car and my girlfriend's car, and a couple at home.

That does look pretty bad. What is your details under display? (screen on time)
EDIT to add: actually, your screen looks like it might be on for a long time? (solid blue line under battery graph, starting under the "m" in 4h 56m 15s on battery text) If your screen on time is around 3.75 - 4 hours, this is normal.
To get a better gauge, post screenshots after you click both the battery graph above, (which will show signal, wifi, screen on, awake, and charging graphs as well) and the Screen entry. (to show screen on time)
Yea that screen shot is a week old, I will keep and eye on it.

chamonix's reply suggests you try a different modem, essentially. He's saying that in the dump you posted, RILJ held a 3.5 hour wake lock, which is unusually long. Could be that the modem you have flashed right now was struggling to find signal, so it was holding a wake lock.
Have you tried flashing a different modem yet?

Depends on what you want to look at.
But you're saying the screenshot above is a week old, and the BBS dump you linked to is clearly months old (from Feb 17), so maybe it's worth it to post more recent screen shots and dumps? Otherwise, can you honestly say you've not changed ANYTHING on your phone since either the screenshot or dumps were taken?
No one can tell you anything about how your phone is behaving today using information that is outdated.
The screenshot nothing has changed since then, I have changed things since the dump.
Well I want to kind out why my phone is awake when my it should be sleeping I supppose.
That screenshot their was a day when I woke up and used the device for an hour or so, and then I hadn't used the phone till about 12 hours later.
As you can see the phone kept waking up most of the day.
The info on Android OS for that screen shot was CPU Total 1h 6m, Kept Awake 4H 9m

Weird battery performance with the S21 (Exynos)

Hey, about two weeks ago I got myself a new S21. On the first day I was stoked, since I got 10hours of screen-on-time, a value that I never had before with any phone.
But the next day the illusion got destroyed, 3 hrs of screen on time. Something felt off, since I didn't even use the phone that much.
...long story short:
No matter how I use the phone (or not), the battery life seems to be the same. It doesn't make a difference if I use the phone or not, if anything, it feels like the battery drains faster when the device isn't turned on.
I tried to set ALL apps to "deep standby", turn all sensors off. I even turned all settings off which might cause anything to be running in the background, like tap to wake, aod, fingerprint, pick up detection and what not...
Still, I don't get more then 12-20h of total battery life. It doesn't make a difference if I use the phone or not. Even if I don't use the phone at all, after 20h it's dead. If I use it extensively, I still get up to 20h, but the screen-on-time gets significantly higher.
Obviously, if I was to run some stresstest all the time, the battery would drain faster, but that's not the point here. Im talking about normal use (Facebook, WhatsApp, light browsing).
Btw. It was running on the latest Android 12 build the whole time. And I just received an update today and no changes in behaviour.
Disable all power management!!!
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. You can't turn it off here!
Android will manage its self without this junk.
Find the problem apps and deal with them on a case by case basis. Take out the trash; FB, WhatsApp, Twitter etc... ditch that malware!
Device Care>storage, clean now and clear Google play Services data(repeat as needed).
Clear system cache.
Google backup Transport and cloud apps are prime suspects especially screen off.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services.
Use the factory load version of apps... update one at a time and observe for a battery hit.
Go back to Android 11 if possible.
Don't burn up the battery! Power down when hot.
Limit top charge to 80%, low discharge to 30%
Don't use in direct sunlight if so only briefly.
Keep brightness at 50% or less to save battery and display.
That comment is basically useless. You're telling me not to use my phone at all, since WhatsApp and Facebook are the only things I do anyway.
Also the thing about battery care is not relevant right now, I'm saying the device is basically new and the idle drain is an issue. How am I supposed to prevent the phone from overheating while idling?

yeah, right back at you
It's obviously a software bug somewhere, I'm just hoping that someone suffered the same and got a solution or hint. "Tips" like uninstalling WhatsApp are as useful as sending the phone to the trashbin and buying a new one.

Your tone is very rude for someone who is asking for help.
What you received as a support may not be fully giving you you wanted - but its free and showing the direction.
Sorry but it is as it is. His comment was useless and showed how he didn't even read my initial post, or didn't understand it. His generic reply about battery care doesn't help me either. And "try listening" also isn't the most polite way either
Nonetheless, I have discovered some articles which mentioned something about VoLTE drain. It should have been sorted out by previous updates and apparently doesn't even concern all devices. But trying is free, right?
I have disabled VoLTE and enabled all battery savers. I got 10h of screen on time and about 36h of total time, which is great! (for a S21)
Next step will be verifying the results by turning everything on again, except VoLTE. (note: I had tested the same scenario before, only with VoLTE on.)

I did answer your question but you decided to get ignorant.
There likely is no one specific easy fix for your problem. I spent many hours optimizing my device... far longer then you.
When the battery life dies again and/or you get erratic behavior don't say I didn't try to warn you.
If you're too lazy to troubleshoot your own device, don't be crying and insulting others trying to show you where you might start.
I don't have battery issues...
