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.
There is a problem in every 2.3.5 ROMs (I tested everyone of them...even gingerdx v13).
The problem is due to "google maps" app...
If the app isn't freezed (by titanium) or unistalled, the problem persist.
The problem starts when open "maps". After that, some processes of "maps" start to drain battery....the only thing to do in order to temporally solve this problem, is reboot the phone.
I don't know if is in the app itself or in the way that the ROMs manage it...but It's present and It's a major and annoing bug.
Please try to solve it.
A smartphone with android and gps is useless without maps! ^^
But old gingerbread roms had not this problem, im wondering why it occcurs now.

I don't know...I had froyo ROMs before...no problems with maps!
yup even i am having huge battery drains on the gingerdx rom...
i tried freezing a lot of apps, but was not able to narrow down the causative app..
I figured out that i get a lot of wakelocks by time service
MauriF , how did u figure app that google maps was causing the drain?
I don't have battery drain problems (never had since I logged out of Latitude).
I also tested EVERY rom posted (froyo and gingerbread) and they all had similar battery duration, and no unexplained drains...
Im on ginger dx v13, I found if you listen to music and then stop the music player, some services are still running and it kills your battery so I just reboot the fone and its fine, I also froze dps manager and google maps. If you read the origanal topic on ginger dx it tells that the music player drains your battery. People must except that there will be bugs.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
The music player bug IS a bug.
The maps problem isn't. Yes Maps drains the battery but its because you have done one of the following:
Have GPS on
Have enabled an app to see your location: could be browser, latitude, search etc
Have turned on 'My Location' in Settings -> Locaton and Security
Have allowed maps to cache in background: check by opening maps -> more -> cache settings
Android needs to open apps to all of these things, its not the ROM as far as i can see.
Sorted it out for me on GingerDx v11
x drsood,
Using Titanium i freezed maps = no battery drain
enabling it = battery drain (I mean 3% each 5 minutes)
...even if the app is not started.
maybe the problem is one that Dan is saying! I need to check..
x Dan,
I charge battery than I'll check! Thank You very much!!

i have the "maps" as well as "dsp manager" frozen...still i have this battery drain...i know its not a rom problem coz many have reported that they hav excellent battery life, but i cant figure out the app causing all these drains
unistalled "maps 5.9.0" (always some services active...huge battery drain), installed "maps 5.0" (no services active!)
Now I test battery again!
Yeah that's exactly i want to say Maps drain battery so much only 3 hours my phone use up all !
mmm...it's not only maps....
this night in 7h mt battery is at 41% :-/
Check whats running services then. Settings -> Applications -> Running Services
Will probably tell us your problem

i dont have maps but stiil battery drain
and minicm6 (2.2.9) only drains around 7% battery during night
Thank you for usefull info.
I unistalled maps and now my battery last 3 times more. I was impressed.
I found that, using D4Kernal, the battery life extends quite a bit. I got a whole 24 hours out of the phone yesterday which is a first.
just a suggestion
In my experience excessive battery drain can be caused by 3 causes:
1)Apps running in background
Some apps consume more battery than others. the best way to see in my experience is install apps atleast 12H apart so that you can tell which app is causing drain. Google maps process does run forever in background. To stop pit, Go to settings--> applications-->manage applications-->(click on Maps APP)-->click Force Stop. This has to be done everytime you reboot your phone. For a permanent thing, try freezing in Titanium
2)Battery callibration:
While Li-Poly batteries like the BST38 in the x10 minipro dont need full depth charging, the battery measurement needs it.
Try this(need root)
Charge phone to 100%
(Install "Battery callibration" app from Market and click "Callibrate battery")
OR
(Boot into CM Recovery and erase Battery stats)
Once Battery is 100% charged, unplug and discharge to 0%(If you dont have patience for this turn on google maps with GPS, turn on Wifi and play music on your loudspeaker. My battery drained in 1.5 hrs with this usage )
Once Battery is discharged to 0(i.e phone shuts off), Recharge to 100% and use as normal.
After doing this I get around 70+ Hrs of standby in GingerDX v013. This process NEEDS to be done everytime you install a new custom ROM.
3)Ruined Battery:
If you have too much drain in ALL ROM's...including the stock ROM, OR, none of the above steps work,then the battery is probably faulty. There's nothing you can do about it but get a new one
All the best!
EDIT:
4) Network signal strength:
If the signal strength by the service provider is low, your phone will try to amplify it to achieve higher clarity. Unfortuntely this consumes higher power. Your body also absorbs some radiation hence requiring even higher amplification. My recommendation is unless you are moving around, keep your cell outside (On your desk or something). You'll get slightly better signal strength plus if some studies are to be believed you'll be more fertile and smarter and your heart will be healthier too
Hey,is it makin any big difference btween stock and D4's Kernel?

Get 'CpuSpy'
and check if your phone goes into deep sleep.
Also try this, Everytime instead of locking your screen, put the phone to sleep mode (I like doing this thru notification power control widget)

My device is rooted and using root access almost all the bloatware has been frozen and I have very limited apps. I didn't have a wakelock problem before rooting but now my cpu wakes up at regular intervals of time and sometimes its on all the time ( even when the screen is off).
The apps that I have on my phone are
Opera mini
Temple run
Whatsapp
Viber
Superuser
Default Samsung browser
S memo
S planner
Gmail

I just found out that there is a free version of BetterBatteryStats for xda members. downloaded and installed it.am following the instructions . . . but do any of you know how to interpret the observations?
hi dude,
if you have various system or user apps wakelocks , first do a monitoring it with your favorite battery monitor and analysis tool to details.
you can use traditional battery savers (i didn't recommend)
I do use greenify (paid app, but very good - the "engine" is different, doesn't kill or freeze, but hibernate system (need root) or users apps.
increase my battery and decrease unnecessary wakelocks ...

wakelocks
By looking at the task manager you can deduce that I have minimal number of applications running in the background and that all the bloatware has either been frozen removed of greenified.
and by looking at the battery graph you can conclude that I have wakelocks as the cpu doesn't go into deep sleep even when the screen is off

hi
there was in you files, eg.
gtalk GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint
gmail com.google.android.gm.Gmail
high durations
look in settings the sync settings ... maybe adjust the sync ...
there was long wakelock time durations eg m_duration=74554
others wakes
m_name=DropboxCpuOnlyWakeLock, m_duration=48767
causes ... sync? look the dropbox settings
m_name=PhoneWindowManager.Broadcast WakeLock, m_duration=57822
localization apps related?
i did read for this and guys reported problems in volume buttom or others ... pressing or bump problems ... or (its hard to believe lol) leather cases that press buttons
Common tips - reference http://better.asksven.org/bbs-how-to/
"Following tips can help you reducing some causes of awake:
Turn your GPS off when not required to avoid apps using that expensive location source
When you are finished using an app close it with the "back" button. This will terminate it and avoid background management
Don't use any auto killer apps. If there are apps you don't want to be started or cached freeze them or configure their auto-start properly
Don't use and power saving tools like Juice Defender or Green Power: most apps do not behave properly when they can't use the data connection and will generate overhead by trying
If you don't need Wifi turn it off: in some cases Wifi is known to cause wakeups and an overhead in e.g. location services"
I recommend you try freeze these apps or greenify (my personal choice) ... or change the sync settings ... or uninstall apps
If this troubleshooting does not work ...
I do recommend install a latest firmware (your favorite ROM stock stock pre rooted or custom) ... wipe format etc ... etc ... etc
Do a backup user apps and data ... etc ...

I have one gmail account and sync is on for like 10 mins a day.
I do have a dropbox account but I haven't actually logged into the app using my phone.
I don't use a case or any other protection for my phone home and the volume buttons are seldom pressed.
gps is switched off almost all the time but the other two options in location setting are on.
I always use packet data.
I have also greenified all third party applications except whatsapp and all the stock apps that I don't use have been frozen.
thanks for helping!
( I get a standby time of around 17-20 hours with a minimum on screen time of 5 hours . stock rom and kernel)

Hi, i will share you what worked in my e2306 to fix the annoying Wifi drain. You need an app that let you disable broadcast receivers like RoomToolBox or MyAndroidTools. We are going to disable some Google Play Services receivers.
Open the app you choose to work, navigate to receivers and then DISABLE the following in GPLAY services app:
SystemUpdateServiceActiveReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceOtaPolicyReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceSecretCodeReceiver
And then reboot.
No need to activate STAMINA mode. No need to choose GPS to power saving, no need to disable WiFi/BT location scan.
Ive tested for like 10 days or so. The overnight drain downed to 2% it was like 7%. Also now battery is as good as in LP fw, 1 and 1/2 day with moderate to heavy usage.
Attached screenshoot of two diferent charge cycles.
Does this sacrifice any functionality / break anything?

As for now, i didnt noticed anything broken, but it might deppend what you do with your device.
I ussualy do the following with my phone:
*Using Google stuff like maps with gps accurate mode, Location history etc.
*Using google chrome and other browsers.
*Using google fit with realtime activity detection.
*Gmail / Email / Sms / Whastapp.
*Some gaming 2D / 3D / Console Emulators.
*The whole time at home WiFi connected, LTE/3g outside. (I never turn off wifi even when im out)
*Xposed with a variety of modules (app settings, apm+, and more..)
*Apps via playstore, music app, camera, weather and clock widgets, Root thingy like KernelAdiutor, Lucky Patcher, fstrimm. A large etc.
I can confirm that all these things seems to work ok, havent had any problem

A few of those were already disabled (perhaps by amplify).
For some reason i had multiple AccountsChangedReceiver from Google Services (all with that same name), with one bieng already disabled, so i left those as they were.
For now everything seems to still work. I'll report if I notice anything. Thanks for the tip!
Hmm so it wasnt only me, i have TWO AccountsChangedReceiver(android.accounts.LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_CHANGED) and one was already disabled before i touch anything, and few others i dont remember. Im going to check by restoring a backup and report here
Makes no difference here.
I did notice a big boost in battery duration. I'd say about 4 hours more. Though of course one should do a serious test to assert this.
I also noticed now playstore won't download updates if the screen is off. I get a message saying background data has been disabled when i turn the screen back on if playstore was downloading something.
Does this happen to you too? Worth it in any case.

Do you use STAMINA?
In my case background data is ok and all the things that deppends of it are working fine, as for playstore i always disable autoupdates and i do them manually to prevent unwanted "new features" you know.. so i cant confims this last one. I never use stamina mode though.
Btw by restoring my backup i got the same result untouching anything but the last 4 receivers ive stated in the post so i dont thing the first 3 that also apperas to be duplicated are relevant, gonna edit it.

I normally don't, although it could've been automatically activated. I just tried downloading an app and turning off the screen for a while (while it was staarting to download). When i turned it back on it actually had installed so perhaps that was random.
Is there any way to do this on a LBL/nonrooted phone? As my BL can't be unlocked, and wifi battery drain is very proeminent, like 1% per 2-3 minutes.
There is no battery drain if you did proper clean install... Just wait for few days it will dissapear from battery list. I am getting 6 hours sot and 2 days battery life
Obivously clean install, stock rom, CE1, using flashtool, wipe user data.

I got a message from Gmail, "Gmail is having trouble with Google play services" after I made the changes in broadcast receiver, any solutions?
I've had the phone since the beginning of December. Right since then, I have had battery drain no matter what. In the first days I experienced it even overnight, I am pretty sure with airplane mode activated....
Later on, I wiped the cache from the recovery mode, didn't fix it. I used that 'GService fix' kind of magical app that everybody said it fixed their problems...it didn't fix mine. I performed a hard reset and I did not restore the google account apps, instead I manually downloaded only the apps that I really needed.
There is no apparent pattern on when the battery drain starts: I would find my phone hot and very rapidly discharging (if not already discharged), battery temp hot and cpu temp hot. I disabled all google now functions, I disabled GPS, at first I disabled only some google functions (kept only google keep, calendar and contacts on automatic sync)....but then a couple days ago I disabled the whole automatic sync. Battery still drained without using the phone.
I had read that one reason why google service would take so much battery would be having multiple accounts, or having some problems related with google play games and its sync. I do have games installed on my phone, and they require google play games to work, so that one is installed on the device but I also read that 'people details' under google account settings is relevant to the google play games sync. And in any case as I already said, the whole automatic sync has been disabled in the past 2 days, yet today the phone drained the battery while in my pocket.
I cannot understand what is going on. I am using GSAM to try to monitor things, but till now I have only been able to understand when was the battery drain starting and when was it stopping. I never found the reason. If I choose 'since screen off' on GSAM, I can see that it is again google play services taking most of the battery.
I can see with those softwares (3c toolbox, GSAM) some things, many of them I don't understand and some of them I don't even know how to set. It's pretty useless to know that suddenly my cpu goes high in clock and keeps 90/100% load if I don't know why. There is no rogue app, otherwise it would show on top, right? I can provide these two screenshots:
http://i.imgur.com/wPgGlu7.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/9hbVG0I.jpg
First screenshot: I had the phone on my desk since 2 days or so. Wifi on, no gps, no sync. I went out around 12:00 and that seems to be exactly the time when the battery drain started. If I choose in GSAM 'since screen off', google services is on top of the list. Unfortunately this cannot be very much relate with mobile data or so, because I have experienced battery drain even with airplane mode or at home with wifi enabled. Second screenshot: I don't know what to make of those packages......
I know that other people with the Axon 7 had the same problem, I googled a lot, didn't solve anything.....and I also know that anyway on any phone this can happen. I had very randomly the same problem on the Nexus 5 but never gave it too much attention because it wasn't too bothering, it was happening every once in a while, but with this Axon 7 I am touching it every 10 minutes to see if it's burning hot or not, constantly afraid to take it out of the pocket and find it with 10% left of battery.....
Had battery drain issues and exchanged my phone under warranty. Now all is good.

Assuming you're rooted, install betterybatterystats (search for it on xda). Use the phone as you normally would. After 6-12 hours, look at the results. It should give you an idea of what's keeping the phone awake.
Here the same problem. Irregular at intervals of 1-2 days. New installation of Google Play services no change. Restart helps only a short time.
The problem:
Cpu %
34 com.google.android.gms.persistent
04 com.google.android.gms
01 com.google.android.gapps

yes! same thing with me. Google Backup Transport process fires up and eats battery for no reason. Doesn't matter if backup is enabled or disabled, I also disabled appdata sync. I posted two or 3 times in this community group as well:

What rom are you using?
stock, didn't change anything and to be honest should not need to (and not even want to).
My plan: try to find a solution. Good that at least I nailed it to the process (google backup transport - gms.persistent etc etc) and can research from there. I already found tons of people who had the same problems with tons of different devices and even android version (just google com.google.android.gms.persistent battery drain and you'll find the forums full of threads....of course everybody fixed it in the most different ways, none of which worked for me till now).
2nd plan: wait for the nougat update at the end of the month and see what happens
3rd plan: change device (warranty).
I am aware it is not a hardware problem, it must be some loop in the sync (but it happens even with sync off) or a bug in google services.
Hmmm, could you say you "just can't sleep" over it?
Sorry folks, friday post
Batter Battery Stats is usually a very good way to check for rogue apps, tho.

caused by what? By the way This is my update screen, why is it showing B04 and still saying that it is up to date? I have auto updates and I also checked manually but it says it is up to date.

5 days?? How much do you actually use the phone??
I don't know what was the cause. It was either a loop fail backup of google photos, or the update from B04 to B08 fixed it. No more drain, battery easily lasts 2 days without heavy use of the phone.

:laugh: 5 days without reboot. 2 days with one load. 8 hours display time at 24 usage.
All the US stock firmwares have the battery drain. It's usually google backup transport or google persistent gms. A reboot will fix it usually, but it will occur again later... Battery life is fine other than those 2. Let's hope lineage will be ok.
