I noticed that while auto-rotation is on, events/0 will use about 5-6% of CPU consistently, therefore draining the battery quicker than normal (Only when the screen is on).
It will not always immediately use that much CPU, but it will almost always end up there and stay there, as soon as I disable Auto-Rotation it will drop to 0%. I'm not sure if this is normal behavior but it is something I came across. This is on A0.6 - I am not sure if other versions have this issue.

Hi,
i noticed that if i flag the energy saving option and set a value (for example 30%) for activation an icon appears on the taskbar telling me that the energy saving option is active, even if the battery is full charged, and it remains active.
Moreover when battery go under 30% the phone alerts me that the energy saving configuration will be set, and changes some phone settings like screen brightness and screen timreout values (15 seconds).
when the phone is in charge it alerts me that the energy saving confguration will be turned off BUT
- the icon still remains in the taskbar set as active
- the values set (brightness and screen timeout) remains the ones setted by energy saving and do not go back to the values chosen by me.
Anyone has the same problem?
Thank you
I don't know if that option/setting really does something but I have it on at 70% level. But as soon as I plug my AC charger in it says Power Saving Mode Suspended and turns back on when I unplug the charger. But as I set it to 70% battery level it doesn't bother me until the phone reaches 70% or less.
Regards.

Hi, is there any way that I can still get the values from the acceleration sensor even after the screen is turned off (I already made my program as an activity)? When the screen-on is timeout, I will release the wake lock that I used to wake up the phone (to turn the screen on)
Note: When I tried my program in the debugging mode (connected to my computer), it worked fine.
P/s: There is one funny thing, when I tried my program on my sony arc s (stock rom 2.3.4), it stopped sending values from acc sensor after about 10 minutes, but in my friend's phone, he uses cooked rom Cyanogenmod 7, it stopped sending immediately after the screen had turned off. This made me wonder that would android have shallow sleep mode and deep sleep mode. I assumed that in shallow sleep mode, all activities would be able to run normally, but in deep sleep mode, only system activities could run. Am I right?
Thank you!
Basically yes, you are right.
Depending on the ROM/kernel, dictates how fast sleep modes are activated.
All ROMs I have used, have had a selectable "prevent from sleeping" mode when connected to usb. Other than that, you'll need an app that prevents the phone from going in to a deep sleep. :banghead:

When I leave my galaxy player 5 (international) plugged during the night the screen wakes up at some point which forces me to leave it with the screen down (when I remember), I would guess that happens when the battery full notification comes up.
That anoys me specially because sometimes the screen doesn't seem to follow the screen timeout settings and stays always on. It used to happen in stock froyo and still happens in eryigit gingerbread rom.
Does that happen to anyone else? Any tips?
I have the US version and when it finishes charging the screen stays on for about 3 minutes before turning off (I actually waited to see what would happen). I think it's a bug because my default settings is a minute. Try using different timeouts to see if that solves anything.
Hello, for a few days now, I have noticed that my Prime will wake itself up randomly for almost no reason. It will be locked and sitting on my desk then suddenly the screen will pop on and do nothing. It is annoying since it is killing my battery since I have the screen set to stay on for 5 min. I am rooted on the .28 update, but it was happening before on.21 also. I have better battery stats installed also to monitor wake locks and it is registering allot, but I don't know what they mean, or how to stop them. Anyone else have this same problem, or a way to fix it? I will upload a screenshot from better battery stats shortly.
UPDATE: Just after posting this I left the tablet sitting and allowed it to do its wake ups whenever it wanted without touching it, then after about 15-20 cycles of sleep to awake, it came on with an android os window full screened in the background, a smaller battery warning in front of that, and on the top was the power down window that appears when you shutdown. Weird thing is the tablet is almost fully charged, and when I powered back on it had the same battery it did before freaking out and thinking it was dead.
NOTE: In the screenshot I have Samba Network file sharing open, this is normally not active when I am having the random wake ups, I just opened it to upload the screenshot from my pc.
I've been comparing a few apps on my OnePlus 6T, to see which one seems to be the best at identifying battery problems.
The ones I've been testing are: Wakelock Detector [LITE], GSAM and BetterBatteryStats.
The only one that actually seems to work right now is WLD. I keep having issues where the Display won't turn off, on the lock screen, home screen anywhere. I can't see any way to see this in GSAM or BBS. In WLD at has a tab for CPU and Display, both times I've had this issue once today was a football goal alerting app and previously it was a TV streaming app.
Both times the apps were closed (guessing running in the background though) but still somehow managed to cause the display to stay awake for longer than the default minute that is set in the phone settings (appeared to be permanently turned on, until I hit the lock button).
I've checked *every* tab and dropdown in GSAM and BBS, and it nowhere does it appear to show apps that keep the screen awake, I can see CPU etc. am I doing something wrong? I've seen quite a few people say not to use Wakelock Detector as it hasn't been updated for years (which is correct) but it's the only one that seems to be working for me.
How can I see this in BBS, or should I be using another app entirely?
Still getting display wakelocks from everything.
Was happening just now, WLD said it was YouTube. As soon as I get rid of YouTube from the recents switcher, the screen goes to sleep.
1. Why does only WLD appear to know it's YouTube causing the issue?
2. *Why* would YouTube be doing this, is there a way I can stop it?
