Hi everyone,
I've done very much try and erroring to find out which app is draining my battery and if it's really neccessary.
As you can see on the attachment, it looks really nice already. The only thing which drives me crazy are those long and often "Aktiv" (Awake) parts. I couldn't find any information on the SDK pages.
My Phone seems to be very often Awake while in standby. I can't understand why it has to wake up that often. Am I right, that this "Awake" means, that the cpu is running (not in sleep mode)?
Is there any way to log which software is waking the device up?
Greetings
Chris
Yep, "awake" means that cpu is running. Try Badass Battery Monitor, it has a list called AppSucker, that lists the apps by battery consumption
Thanks. That is exacly what I was looking for.
Now I'm still sure, that there is somethink wrong with the battery consumtion. As you can see on the attachment, "Android-System" takes 2 hours(!) for some stupid things.
These are the datas for one night (it was a short one ) The phone wasn't used at all. Is that normal? I mean, thats nearly 30% of the time. Okay, the total capacity loss seems okey, but the phone hast absolutly nothing to do. Except for some interrupts of from the baseband and some cronjobs maybe. But that doesn't need 2 hours.
Any suggestions what courses these long awake times? Or another way to debug this?
Thanks
Chris
Android-system, huh? Seems like you have a wrong config, or a service is keeping awake the CPU...
Sorry, I dunno other way to debug it, but you already tried to calibrate your battery? (let that your battery runs out, charge it fully and, without unplug the charger, go to Recovery >Advanced >wipe battery stats. Unplug and reboot).
Yep, that was the first ding I did.
I'm running IceColdSandwich - 7.4 - AOKP STRIPPER EDITION. Maybe this is some kind of bug.
Maybe someone have another idea how I can debug this. Nevertheless thanks for helping.
You should check to see if Sync is turned on. This will cause the phone to wake up to contact any accounts you have set up to sync... I would suggest setting sync to off unless wifi is available.
On my rom (Gingerbread base) the wifi is turned of when the screen is off, which will make sure that google will never try to sync while the phone is idle.. The downside you will have to wake the phone in order to receive emails and stuff via wifi, and if not on wifi you will have to check your email manually.
I think I found it. Badass Battery Monitor showed that "Google Backup Transport" is part of Android-System, so I removed it. I didn't use it anyway.
My phone is not crashing, I still runs smoothly. The keep-awake time shrinked to 30m during 7h (including short uses). That seems totally legit for me.
Thanks for helping
Chris

Being fed up with the random wakelocks that Dialer produced on my Gingerbread P500, I spent a while searching for the cause. It turned out to be DataTracker-FD (found out using the amazing BetterBatteryStats app - http://www.cri.ch/sven/doku.php/computing/android/betterbatterystats ), which deals with Fast Dormancy (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9191759/Fast_dormancy_to_improve_smartphone_networking_and_battery_performance_ ).
Now, in theory, Fast Dormancy should be a great feature! But, if your network does not support it, DataTracker-FD will still drain a lot of battery through the wakelock. The SGSII secret code for deactivating it doesn't work on the P500, and neither does the nwk_info.db method. Luckily, you can deactivate (or change its timeout) through the LG hidden menu...
1. Dial 3845#*500#.
2. Go to Modem Setting > PDP Setting > [0] Set Fast Dormancy
3. Select your desired timeout (or "Disabled"). You should now be done! (will look at Battery Usage in a little bit, to see if a reboot/Dialer FC is also needed)
Optional step 4. If you still see no difference, set your desired timeout (or "Disabled") a few more times.
Hope it helps.
/* Edit: It doesn't seem to help, we might be back to square one. Does anyone have any idea on how to completely disable Fast Dormancy? We might need a dev to look at the source code of Dialer and make some modifications... Right now, if your phone stays awake after using Data, the only current workaround is FCing Dialer from Applications. */
EDIT 2: A SECOND TEST, USING THE ABOVE METHOD TO DISABLE FAST DORMANCY, YIELDS POSITIVE RESULTS! THE WAKELOCK IS NOT THERE ANYMORE, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL RECONNECTIONS TO HSDPA!
It needs way more testing though, I will reconnect to data and leave the phone idle (screen off), then see what happens, and I will reboot the phone to see if the setting persists.
EDIT 3: Yes, the setting persists, and the wakelock is still not running! The final test will be done after it has completely charged, because there still is a small possibility that the wakelock is so far not active just because the phone was charging.
Edit 4: Straight after unplugging the phone, DataTracker-FD started running, without being connected to HSDPA (I was in a phonecall). In 17 minutes (of mostly talking on the phone) it drained 1% of the battery - so, it should last for about 29 hours with the same usage. Now I have started HSDPA and left the phone idle for 10 minutes, to see how much it drains and how much it drains after I turn data off. It just might be that, while the phone is still awake, it doesn't drain a large amount of battery. If it actually still drains a lot, this tweak definitely only /seems/ to work while charging (maybe BetterBatteryStats was reporting false data or FD just doesnt' work when charging).
Edit 5: Here's a pleasant surprise. Right after connecting to HSDPA and putting the phone to sleep, the Awake bar in Battery Usage faded out. In 5 minutes of idling with data activated, the phone drained another 1% battery - not sure how well that is, since it amounts to 8 hours of data on a full charge, but it's better than 12 hours of idling with no data on a full charge. Currently repeating the test. Just got an email on Yahoo pushed, I'll get to see the influence on awake time of that as well.
Edit 6: After 10 minutes of idling with data ON, a bit over 1% of the battery is gone. This is a fantastic value, and the Awake bar is only dotted in this period of time. DataTracker-FD seems to be running a bit in the background during the data connection, but stopped once I turned it off. It might just be me, though, because aLogCat still can't find any entries for Fast Dormancy. Now leaving the phone idle with no data for a while to look at the evolution of Awake time.
Edit 7: After about 45 minutes of complete idling, the battery went down 2%. This would mean the battery would last for about a day and a half, which is meh, considering I OC'd the phone to 730 and don't really use a task manager.
The conclusion: YES, disabling Fast Dormancy does work using the above method, and it does help battery life!
Edit 8: After another unrelated reboot, DataTracker-FD is once again awake after using data, but this time it draws significantly less battery. The Battery Usage graph shows no difference between sleep times and awake-because-of-FD times.
Edit 9: During the night, the phone drained 30% battery, once again because of some random action of DataTracker-FD. This is still not a definite fix.
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I dial that number..
I remember that long ago I dialed the number and everything was fine.
Well you shouldn't literally call it, just type it in Dialer and it should open the hidden menu.

When I just type it in dialer, nothing happens.
I see. It might not work on CM.
Updated the OP a couple of times, you might want to read it.
Considering I am still on Froyo v2.2.2, could this be of interest for me too? There's no abnormal battery drain on my phone, but if I can improve the battery life by tweaking this setting, I'd gladly do it.

I didn't have such problems on Froyo either. It MIGHT help, but as you can see from the numerous edits to the OP, it's not a clear win yet.
So it need to be disabled twice to stop working?
I've been looking for this service since using that Battery App but theres not much information of that in the web.
I'm not sure just how many times, but it took about 3-4 times for me until I was completely sure the wakelock stopped running and the phone went into deep sleep each time I locked it.
Yeah I think I got it doing it twice, FC phone and rebooting, btw maybe you can check system/etc/flex/flex.db and flex.xml there are fast dormancy settings there
@metalboy94 I mailed LG regarding Fast Dormancy and the reply i got was that P500 does not support fast dormancy. My phone does not switch from H to 3G. I tried enabling it many times using secret menu but it does not work.
I asked him if GB ROM/Baseband supports fast dormancy, he replied saying GB hasn't been released for India

There are? Thanks a bunch, gonna try those methods as well!
@atulalvenkar: Well, it still draws power from the battery, so at least they could have done something to the Dialer if it's not supported at all.
Edited the OP once again.
Are you guys checking on GB or Froyo ROM ? I can't see flex.db or flex.xml in froyo ? Stock or CM7

Stock GB. I found it, but you have to fill in the info for your operator if it's not on that list. Guess which is my situation.

Yeah my operator isn´t there also (I´m on a custom V20g ROM and I´m not from Romania) but i got the flex files from the Froyo stock so im going to try using that information to replace one of the V20g operators.
Also tried putting the Froyo ones on GB but get a lot of FC
Updated the OP again...
I tried to change the FD settings in the hidden menu, but the setting does not "stick", so I don't know if it's actually OFF or not.
However, I found that DataTracker-FD only keeps the phone awake when Wifi is on. If I'm always on 3G, FD seems to work and keep the phone asleep. Overnight with wifi off and 3G on, it only drained 2% battery.
I'm on official GB2.3.3 with PaoloM's kernel v5.
Strange.
hey maybe let´s try this:
Code:
ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411,
have to put that on the build.prop then restart, the values must be changed to your carriers code, you can get that code from adb typing
Code:
adb shell
getprop gsm.operator.numeric
Then the system should show the number

But did you see how many MBs the phone used? Cause if it's too much, people will definitely prefer just turning the phone off.
@Roqu3: I think I tried that before and it didn't seem to make a difference.
Worth a shot tho.
I'll try both of your methods if I still have the issue when I get my phone back from the service center.
Sent from a crappy rebranded Huawei using my hands
I was pissed off as my phone lost all the juice over the night and didnt have time for filling it in the morning as i have to go to my job. Also i am a privacy freak and from obvious reasons i dont like google apps, same goes for gmail (as i am using exchange server i dont need all the sync stuff there) which was my initial reason for preventing the application to start - i dont use ANYTHING releated to google/market and i dont have any account there, i never used it.
On rooted phone I started to prevent starting everything related to google and DRM, market etc. (autostarts https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts):
- DRM*
- Factory Test*
- com.google.*
(i think this was all, i'll recheck if there was something else)
And guess what. The battery drain over the night is now around 2% and the phone is quite able to survive 2 days (not completely accurate as i had it connected to computer for 10 minutes in between to pump some files from it), after the second night i still had 12% of battery left.
If someone else is able to repeat that, please report the results and if someone is able to figure out which app exactly is draining the battery even batter.
One thing i dont really understand is what are those apps doing during the night, there is no reason to contact any of google services as i dont have any account entered, so wtf are they doing?!
To ROM cookers, please stop adding google apps by default, make them as package to be installed later if you wish.
I do not have any communication or at least there should be none over 3g (droidwall) and i dont want to kill aplications just to have peacefull sleep. I was searching for final solution and i have found it.
One solution is to switch off wifi and data connection in night and sure you will have better battery drainage.
Not entirely related but just a heads up for people, last night i downloaded that Getjar app and it decimated my battery overnight so i uninstalled it this morning.
I assume most on here know about https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en this is the best app you can get when it comes to preventing battery drain (tells you exactly what is draining your battery)
seems getjar is eating away at the battery, dont understand why it needs to do that !
Go to the task manager and kill all running tasks, then clear ur RAM before going to sleep @ night.
I loose like 1-2%

If it is a night issue, try turning the display ON before unplugging the charging cord. I have used this method and the battery stays at 100% all night long.
Sorry if this has done the rounds, but im new to forumn and none of the posts seem to have all my symtpoms.
I bought a few weeks ago a tf201. everything is great, bar two points.
1) - battery life is emmense when docked on the keyboard and in use, and undocked. BUT when i leave it docked it just seems to refuse to go to sleep and manages to chew up just about all the battery overnight. from the battery monitor in settings the wifi and screen stay on overnight so it loose 5-10% or so an hour.. not great
2) not sure if this is related to the above, but again only happens when docked. if it does go to sleep (i think). when i come to wake it, nothing happens. in the end i have to press the power and volume buttons to reset it, then it wakes back up again. interestingly when its dones this it doesnt appear to have lost much battery charge.
So it seems that either it doesnt want to sleep, or if it sleeps, it sleeps a little too much.
im running the latest OTA ICS update as of last week and havent got that much installed widget wise etc. Ive been pouring over the forums for people with similar issues and the nearest i can find is people recomending using flight mode apps to keep the tablet from completely sleeping. this sort of works but the batteries then need charging every 2-3 days, which is better than daily but not great.
any pearls of wisdom as this for me is ruining an otherwise great device...

Email Accounts set to "push"
Email clients connecting to Exchange usually have a "push" option that continuously syncs with the mail server. Some of them (like Touch down which is what I use) allow you to set off work times when it won't be polling the server so I set it not to poll between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
Also, look at the accounts and sync area in the settings and see what other stuff is being synced. I had no idea until I looked just now how much stuff is getting synced under my gmail account. It's not just mail and calendars like I thought but also a long list of other things.
Then, looking under "Backup and Restore" in the settings, I'm seeing that it's doing a "backup app data, wifi passwords, and other data to google servers". I'm assuming that means all my mail etc. When I first set up the tablet a couple of days ago I noticed that all the wifi connections from my Droid 3 showed up so that was the first time I realized that my phone must be doing this too...
That's a security issue in that by my employer's rules, sensitive company data isn't supposed to be stored on other people's servers so my exchange data really should not be backed up to google. And it doesn't make any sense to do that anyway. If one of my devices dies and gets replaced, when I configure the account on the new device, all the data will sync from the mail server anyway.
The point being that I'm discovering that there is a huge amount of stuff being synced from my android devices that I didn't even realize. That could be bogging down the network (particularly if on a connection that's slow to begin with) and also causing battery drain.
I'm experimenting with turning a lot of stuff off that I don't figure I need - both for the phone and the tablet - to see what difference it makes.

The exchange DATA, meaning your actual mail does not get backed up explicitly anywhere with vanilla Asus/Google ICS Firmware. What it backs up is account settings, and the options you select. Backing up all your mail would be awesome (under the right circumstances, such as when you need that backed up, and some apps will do so, but generally for a fee.
OP, for battery concerns, make sure that in settings, Asus Customized setting that "Mobile Dock Battery Saving and "Disconnect network during sleep are both selected. The latter option stops most or all synching when sleeping.
It sounds like you are experiencing SOD (Sleep of Death) not quite as horrible as it sounds, but if you have to push power button and or/ Power + Volume for 8-10 seconds to get it bac, does it then vibrate and reboot, or just come back to the Homescreen imediately? If it's the first one, look up SOD. I have had only ONE event since .28 rolled, and before that perhaps a dozen on .21, and NONE before that so it's due to SOME recent changes to firmware, at least in my case. Interestingly, I was able to stop it on .21 by disabling the same option we have been discussing. The two battery savers in Asus customized, and WiFi, Advanced: "Keep WiFi on during sleep" (You have to hit the "three dot" menu and choose advanced from WiFi Settings.
Anyway keep us posted, and let me know if you have SOD, or just a deep sleep - if you REALLY want to know how often and how long your tablet spends in deep sleep get CPU Spy (no root require, I believe) and after several hours, it will let you know what the CPU has been doing, for what percent of that time. it is an AWESOME way to determine how much deep sleep you are experiencing with the device.

10% in one hour of using?? so 10 hours???
I guess you should be more than satisfied........:good:
possible win
Many thanks for the suggestions.
I think i was get the dreaded sleep of death as when it slept to 'wake' it i had to reboot it.
Ive run through all the suggestions here + a few suggestions from the forumns, setting wifi to never, adjusting the dock battery usage, checking my sync options. In sheer frustration i removed all widgets and removed a shed load of apps (both pre-installed and ones that i had installed) installed cpu spy and tested. interesting that it appears to be ok now. charged the dock and transformer up on firday night and its still got juice today, all be it that dock is nearly dead and the transformer has 80%+ thats with 2-3hrs use every day and obviously sleeping...
one thing i did note. when it was docked before and 'sleeping' in the transformer battery was low it would charge for long period when it was sleeping? it doesnt seem to do that now. if the transformer battery is low and i sleep it. the power \ charge light stays on for 10-15 mnutes then goes off.. so def looks like something was keepign it awake.
go to settings/asus customized settings and scroll down to battery saving and check the two power saving settings :good:
Hi all,
I experience problems with kernel wakelock, named "s5p-ehci". In random moment it's getting seized my phone and the phone stops sleeping. It looks like:
all other kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks take less than 1 min of activity, whereas s5p-ehci is active during hours. So, for instance, if s5p-ehci is active at night - I am loosing about 4% of charge per hour (phone deep sleep time is 0%).
Temporary solution is to reboot the device: so s5p-ehci's activity time is between seconds and minute, later it gets crazy again and is active constantly. I did not succeed to find some relation between it and applications or system processes.
I am not an Android developer, but since there is no other kernel for my device (Meizu MX2) I'm eager to TURN OFF this damned s5p-ehci... Please, tell me, how to do it:
either via build.prop or via linux command or changing some configs.
I have tried to use other firmware, wiped my phone and tried to work without my apps, but all in vain: so I still don't know, WHY this s5p-ehci is on Earth getting so active so long all of the sudden. It has nothing to do with USB, because my phone is not plugged with cable when it happens

Since it persistent across different versions of the software, I'm wondering if it is not hardware related, like the USB is shorting out or messed up (yes, I read that it wasn't plugged in during the main issue, but doesn't mean it is not the root cause). Have you tried using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector to see if maybe it can narrow down the source of your issues?

Hi,
yes, i've used Wakelock detector app as well as its advanced colleague - BetterBatteryStats. So that's how I've found out about "s5p-ehci" wakelock. And I can see there is no other reason of phone insomnia, besides s5p-ehci.
All other apps and processes consume CPU moderately. When s5p-ehci activity is moderate - phone sleeps well. When it gets berserk and is active during several hours - phone does not sleep at all during whole this time (deep sleep is 0%), instead works on minimal frequency (300MHz), however, it's about 40% of battery draining per night.
If it's a hardware issue - I wonder who can help me with that investigation. Services do not deal with such cases, since there is no permanent problem signs. In my case the process can behave properly during a day. Then, all of a sudden, it's getting active and some its activity lasts hours! Then it's getting back to normal again. I've looked at kernel log and system log. There is a lot of various events happening there: something is going on, then device sent to sleep, then again something is going on, then wakeup, in various cases wakeup reasons are different, I was unable to find some relevant info... I would send this log to anyone who could help me to find source of the problem.
I've rolled back to Android 4.1 firmware and installed custom kernel.
Here situation is better, but what I have discovered:
phone seems not to detect when it's being plugged off from charger - no matter, USB cable from computer or wall socket wire. s5p-ehci does not go away and sucks off my battery. What only helps is manually resetting EHCI power: setting 0 in ehci_power file. As a result, something is reset, ehci power is on again, but this sucker goes away and after that everything is fine until next charge. But I need to find a root of the problem!
Going on investigation - too view info in Internet...
Hi,
I'm having battery issues with OPX again, first it was a faulty battery, but now it looks like the there's something wrong with the settings. The device loses about a third of it's battery overnight, but when I look at the stats I can see that WiFi is always on and the device is always awake!
I have installed naptime as well and told it to ignore sensors (not that it matters as the device is not moving overnight) and to sleep even if connected to a charger etc. No matter what I try the device is always awake.
Is there a way to find out what is keeping it awake?
When I look at usage since last full charge there's nothing unusual there, just regular apps and single digit percentage numbers.
Thanks for your help!
System version?
I'm on Android Marshmallow, using Resurrection Remix ROM.
I'm not quite sure how to use the wakelock blocker, but I just installed Wakelock detector and it shows TripAdvisor as #1 on the list. I have it blocked in notifications, but I can't find anything related to TripAdvisor in wakelock blocker.
Is there any way to prevent apps from keeping the system awake, or should I just unintall TripAdvisor completely?
Not sure if I'm on the right track, but something is keeping the system awake and I need to find out what
OS3 with google back up turned off I get zero drain. Maybe 2-3℅ max over night. Also turned off automatic updates playstore. With just those two things off dont see drain anymore might just be lucky.
Well I think I'm back on normal drain. I uninstalled TripAdvisor, not using it except when I'm on holidays. I disabled the option to keep WiFi on even during sleep.
I used wakeblocker to block all weather/facebook entries, and I have two gmail accounts, one which is use a lot and one which I don't - so I blocked all wakelocks from syncing the account I don't use often.
Battery history confirms device is now correctly going to sleep and turning off WiFi. Automatic updates are still on.
I probably blocked too much, but I don't care anymore, I have 30% more battery every morning and that's good enough for me

Hi,
I'm having battery issues with OPX again, first it was a faulty battery, but now it looks like the there's something wrong with the settings. The device loses about a third of it's battery overnight, but when I look at the stats I can see that WiFi is always on and the device is always awake!
I have installed naptime as well and told it to ignore sensors (not that it matters as the device is not moving overnight) and to sleep even if connected to a charger etc. No matter what I try the device is always awake.
Is there a way to find out what is keeping it awake?
When I look at usage since last full charge there's nothing unusual there, just regular apps and single digit percentage numbers.
Thanks for your help!
