Im running HydrogenICS with Siyah, never had troubles with that kernel with any rom. No batterydrain or anything. But after the new FB app update its been draining my battery. Plus ive added exchange to my mails now and moved my Gmail from Gmail app to the stock mail app. Theres no push alternative there for the gmail so its on 1hr update.
Any thoughts? First day running this rom+kernel combo. But usually after a day like this, its supposed to be at 70%. It was quite hot during music playing with poweramp (no wifi connection available). I usually use home button to exit apps, not back button.
In short:
1. Facebook app drain, version 1.9.0 with camera app and messenger app.
2. Exchange drain.
3. Whats causing it? or how to prevent it!
fb is active app so itsrunning in the background....well u can stop using the apps tht drains,avoid alwayz using home bttn ,instead use task manager an kill unwanted apps....and turn off auto sync
To be honest that isn't normal unless when you go to facebook application and click menu and settings. Then you will find a screen where it tells you when it will refresh, e.g. "every 30 minutes, hour, 2hours, 3 hours and 4hours. So if its 30 minutes, I believe that's what could be causing the drain.
If all of that doesn't fix it, try uninstalling the application and installing it again (if you haven't done so already :])
Have a good day :] And good luck with the battery drain :/

How do I completely freeze this service using T backup pro?
I freezed Gtalk 1.0.3 the app, but using Betterbatterystats reveal that gtalk_async_conn still resulting in partial wakelock timing
I have also noticed this.
Anyway we can stop it?
Still no solution? GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is my main Partial Wakelock in the Betterbatterystats (KH3 firmware) and heavy battery drainer with about 60 min of activity during 8 hours...
same problem with me...and no one on Google does not have a solution for this.
installed 'Better Battery Stats' to see what was keeping the phone up and it's "gtalk_async_conn". The thing is that I don't even use Google Talk. I tried to disable auto-login and freeze it with Titanium Backup without any luck. The only thing that worked was to disable 'Background data' but other apps like Market needs that option on.
Literally everyone appears to have this problem, i actually froze Talk in Titanium and have had no problems but is this Gtalk_async_conn related to this or what?
This problem persist more with google Maps 5.8, 5.9 version. I uninstalled the google maps and noticed that problem was solved, issue was not present anymore in wakelock of batterbatterystats. However it's not permanent solution.
same prob here. would be nice if s.o. has a solution
I also uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup) and it helped for a while -- got really minimal battery drain for several hours. But now the problem is back so I'm wondering if it might also be related to Market or Gmail.
I would say this is the answer.
ANSWER
And it would explain why everyone has it.
That post might explain what it is, but it's not very helpful at solving the issue.
I turned off notifications in Market (some versions don't have this setting; try Market 3.1.3). If it still doesn't help then I am going to try turning off Gmail sync.
Turn off all syncing (gmail, calander, etc), turn off background data and you may have it disappear, also don't use anything that uses google c2d push notifications.

I did the following:
- Uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup)
- Turned off notifications in Market (using Market 3.1.3)
- Turned off Google accounting syncing for everything except Gmail (background data / auto-sync still enabled)
Partial wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN are now very low. Just a couple of seconds over 15+ hours of low use.
However I think I still have some battery drain (based on Battery Monitor Widget) so I am looking at other possibilities.

I am not trying to be a smartass but doesn't your battery monitor widget cause some battery drain?

Totally valid point. But I have also tried running it with Battery Monitor Widget turned off and I still see the same drain (by looking at the battery history graph).
Also while experimenting, I had a couple of hours where Battery Monitor Widget continuously reported -1mA battery discharge (while Battery Monitor Widget was running of course). The battery history graph was basically flat. So that tells me that I can still run Battery Monitor Widget and get minimal battery usage -- if everything else is working right.
In the Better Battery Stats thread, the developer says his target battery discharge is -2mA to -10mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). I know it's possible because I've gotten it before, but lately I'm somewhere around -70mA so that's what I've been working on.
Getting great battery life now with the Gtalk_async_conn issue seemingly gone. I still have Maps removed -- luckily I do not need it much these days. I also notice that Market likes to stay running in the background, where it uses some CPU time even with notifications disabled. Also, turning on Google Calendar auto-sync caused significant battery drain.
Quick summary:
- Uninstall/freeze Maps
- Kill Market if it's running in the background
- Turn off Google account syncing for everything except Gmail
- Turn off "Back up my data" under Privacy settings
I was at about 50% battery after 20 hours. I am running Cognition 1.5.1 with SpeedMod kernel.

It's good to know that these mods work, but they are pretty extreme for me, and I would assume many others. I actively use the functionality of Maps and other Google account syncing. I hope that someone can work out a way to minimize the usage without cutting off the functionality completely.
For what it's worth, I see a dramatically higher usage of the GTALK process when I am at work where some of the syncs are blocked on the office wifi. Out of the office on 3G or at home, the amount of time GTALK is active is significantly reduced.
Atrix here but same issue. I agree if turning off syncs is the way to go, I might as well buy a dumbphone
I agree it's annoying. But the battery life improvement is dramatic, even more so than I mentioned in my earlier post. I used to get <20 hours per charge. Now I get about 3 days. Hopefully these are just bugs in the apps that Google will fix in future versions.
Not sure what is causing it. I have turned off auto-sync, logged out of gtalk, and even turned off "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" from Settings>Privacy.
I still notice 1-2 minutes of partial wakelocks.
Try killing Market if it is running.
My S2's battery is draining when it is supposed to deep sleep atleast around 2% every time I check. I usually turn off my phone before I go to bed & switch it on when I wake up, battery drains 5-10%. Sorry, forgot to save the dump file from BetterBatteryStats, will attach it later. I've noticed dozens of "kworker" & numbered "event" detected in the app. Look at the following screenshots of battery history. Seems like the phone is awake more than screen on time & there are some huge drops usually after reboots. Done a couple of calls (total of about 1-2 hours) & listened to music (for about 2 hours), nothing else. Oh, I've noticed the following suspicious apps/game or it's components running in the background sometimes :-
Frontline Commando (push notification service)
Maps
Facebook
I usually end the processes.
What could be keeping the phone awake ?. Could it be the fault of the kernel ?. I've noticed this drain after updating to MIUI V4 2.6.16 (which came with stock kernel) & installing Siyah v3.3.1 later. This didn't happen before..
Any solution ???
Hi,
read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&page=7
and all the threads in the thread :good: (threadception)
the drops are beacause of the reboot
2 days aint bad at all - eventhough it seems you dont use it much, so it (the battery) should be (of course) last longer
freeze the not needed system apps and check your sync settings (system & apps)

No u can't freeze Google services framework. It is needed for Google apps to work properly. For ur battery drain related to maps, disable maps startup at boot using Gemini app manager or rom toolbox and set caching to wifi only. Also get rid of fb app as it is known to be battery drainer and better use friendcaster.

Hi.
Been on various jelly bean versions but on everyone I am suffering serious battery drain from facebook. I have turned off notifications and sync but it keeps waking up phone according to better battery stats. Anyone else having this problem? I am now running the latest btu UK version and still the same.

Delete the Facebook app
no Problem here,
try reinstalling!
It has nothing to do with JB. It has to do with the latest update of the Facebook app.
Somehow the current FB app keeps a thread running all the time to check for updates and keeping the device in sync, and that not only makes the phone terribly slow and laggy, but it also causes more battery drain (not to mention higher data consumption)
Since I didn't have a backup of the previous FB app, my choice was to uninstall FB and, honestly, I don't regret it.
The thing is, I use facebook frequently so don't want to uninstall it. Since flashing to jb, I have had to disable Google now, location services and various other things which I didn't have to with ics! What's the point of a smart phone if you can't have anything installed/running!

Install Tasker and Secure Settings. Create a Tasker profile to use the SS plugin and freeze Facebook when the screen is turned off. Create a Task to unfreeze FB, wait half a second and the open FB app. On your homescreen create a Tasker widget to run the second task, and make the icon for the task the FB app icon.
I've done the above, and it means I can run FB on my phone but as soon as I turn the screen off the app is frozen and it can't drain my battery. I do the same for Google Maps for similar reasons.
Just want to compare and see what other people are seeing. I'm on stock rooted ME7 with a lot of bloat frozen. Data was left on, but no WiFi or Bluetooth. Email sync is scheduled not to sync during the hours I sleep, and I don't use Facebook or Twitter. About the only thing that syncs overnight is weather. I checked using GSAM battery monitor, there were only two wakelocks for like 40 seconds, and the only apps using power were android kernel and system, no third party apps. It did show the gyroscope running for 7 hours (???!).
Is this typical? I just came from a rezound, not exactly the king of battery, but that phone only lost about 1% per hour in standby...

Well it makes a difference what ROM you're on. Stock ROM, maybe I don't remember how it was on Stock but I've basically used CleanROM 1.0 and am now on BoneStock 1.1.4 shortly after GS4 VZW release. I get .25% to .50% drain per hour if WiFi is not on. I have Email sync once per hour even overnight. I also go under "Data Usage" in settings and I block background data on stuff that has some background usage. I DO NOT restrict background data on Internet, Android OS, Google Services, Play Store, Email, Gmail, or Media. Most other things i do restrict Background data on. Things like YouTube, Gallery, ESfile, DropBox, Slingplayer, netflix, and i freeze Maps until I need them as it burns battery even when not in use.
I hope this helps.

dont mean to hijack thread but how do you change email sync to once per hour - is there a way to do it for GMAIL in particular?
That's about what I lost last night per hour. It varied between 1.1 and 2.4% per hour.
MDK firmware, but ME7 based rom.

Go into email then settings, and select the account you want to change sync in, then sync schedule and at the top and choose the sync frequency.

This is impressive....
i normally get around .2 to .7%/ hour on standby with wifi, gps, and all account syncing on. i do use greenify to sleep maps and g service and a bunch of other apps.
this is on synergy rom.
the biggest battery help was turning off location services.

you can't get .2% drain per hour with both wifi and gps on... They will make your Android OS drain battery much faster and push that from 4-6% up to 15% or more in your battery stats. Plus if GPS is on so are your location services.
Can someone post a good list of apps to sleep with Greenify?

i actually do, but i have to be connected to a wifi source at the time. i always have wifi on and gps. as for location services, i meant that i turn off the service for all google apps in google settings. that mofo drains like you wouldn't believe. with very light use today i used up 1.1% per hour while at work (for 10 hours). i used the phone a little more while off and with 41 min of screen on i'm at 70%, down from 92% at 7:30. adding that after work time i'm now at 1.83%/hour in the last 12 hours.
at home at night, i usually drop from .2% to .8% (sorry, i missed that by .1% earlier, lol). either synergy is that freaking good, my battery calibration is whacko, i've greenified the right stuff, or i'm just fricken luck. i don't really know. but my numbers are what they are. i use both bmw and bbs.
Well, as an experiment I Greenified a few apps, turned data and location services off and put the phone in power save mode, and left it off the charger over night. I lost 1% in 8 hours. That's more like it.
Hello,
So I was using Greenify and hibernate Facebook app, but with the last week or so. My facebook app sometime doeasnt load, showing "cant connect right now" and I tried to search google. most issues I've found are Greenify's issue on facebook, especially when facebook got hibernated and woke up for a long time. I had to restart my device to getting facebook working again, ridiculous.
so any workaround on this? As we know that facebook app is the worst battery sucker.
I'm using Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 on Mi 5s Plus, rooted and privileged
Thanks.
Best option is to use one of the 'lite' Facebook alternatives which preserve functionality without the corresponding hit on battery life and data consumption. Also make sure non of Greenify's alternative doze/hibernation modes are enabled (aggressive/deep/shallow) as they are known to create side effects with few, if any, corresponding benefits on Android 6 and above. Good luck.
I use greenify in shallow hibernation mode and Facebook works fine and doesn't eat much battery.
