[Q] Wakelock on S3 HELP - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
Just being curious and wanted to ask if these wakelocks are normal during deep sleep on the S3.
Google services are always at the top count and I have no idea why because I've already signed out/turned off sync in most Google related apps. (ie. Google+, gtalk, network location, etc.)
Facebook is also quite suspicious as I didn't get any notification from Facebook on that day as my refresh interval on manual.
Here are some screenshots.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, I'm getting 116 wakelocks from Google services and 74 from Facebook in 10 hours plus, sometimes it hits even higher count in lesser time frame.
My S3 is stock without rooting.
Can someone help me on this?
Regards
P.S 372 wakelocks for Google services.

116 wake ups, not wake locks.
It would be a wakelock if it were held for a period of time.
You are always going to have wake ups (alarms) and wakelocks, you just need to find the ones that shouldn't be there.
My advice is get rid of the Facebook app, it is the biggest piece of **** to ever be released to the public, its a known battery hog.
also download betterbatterystats from xda for a more accurate account of your wakelocks.

I thought they were the same thing. Bahhh.
I'm still very new to Android so I hope you guys can bare with me. (;
Please look at the second screenshot on the OP, 372 wakelocks. Can anyone explain this?
Can someone also explain about the included packages and processes?

It's not 60% left, it drained from 93% to 33% in 10 hours plus. Around 3 hours screen on time with quite a heavy usage.
- 3G cellular data on for the whole time
- Asphalt 6 for half an hour
- offline GPS navigation for half an hour
- maximum volume music playback through speaker for around 3-4 hours
- internet browsing for around 1 hour
- whatsapp for the whole time with breaks
The rest was just on idle.
Is this bad?

Yes it gets stuck on refresh for me as well. Check that you are not logged into chat. It drains a lot of battery.

No such problems, i have mine set to refresh at 2 hour intervals and always sign out of chat.
TBH the Android facebook app is still not great and i use m.facebook.com through by browser more,much better.

Ive never changed any settings on the facebook app.
Edit: do i need to log out of chat (go offline) on the app everytime i load it up?
The chat is draining all the battery, but i dont understand why....
Version 1.6.4 had a chat messaging service and that never drained my battery, what gives?

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat

The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)

[Q] Constant wakelock by *network-location-cell-update*

My battery life has always been great; usually around 30% remaining when I go to bed.
Just in the last few days however I noticed it draining very fast with minimal usage.
Tonight, I'm down to 65% after just 4 hours (25mins screen on with lowest brightness and about 6 text massages, 20 what's app messages recieved, 1 missed call)
I have a CONSTANT wakelock mostly from *network-location-cell-update*, please see the screen shots.

The only thing I've done differenty recently is switch from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher (since changed back due to battery issue) and installed a few games from the Humble Bundle.
Latitude is always switched off and I have no facebook, twitter or push email.
Although *network-location-cell-update* seems to have a huge wakelock, it looks liek it's only used 4% of the total battery....
I'm really confused!
probably been answered somewhere else but try switiching off "use wireless networks" in location and secruity
I always used to leave that switched on with no problems; however because of this problem I have switched it off the last few days and it doesn;t resolve anything.
I don;t understand how this issue can just crop up out of no where...
Do you use latitude? Turn it off it's a battery killer. I think i've seen that exact same wakelock while using latitude.

[Q] Nexus 9 Randomly Powers Off

I have a weird issue with my nexus. About a week ago I was using it bed time with about 50% battery, put it down and woke up next day and battery was completely depleted. I was watching a flash video so I thought maybe Puffin running flash could cause this so I ignored it. (maybe it continued to run in the background)
Today however, I wrote up to find out my Nexus had turned off again over night without the battery being depleted. It's as if it decided to turn off on its own. I want doing anything fancy with it either. Was just browsing, put it on my desk, wake up next day and it was turned off.
Had anyone else got this issue? Or have an idea what might be wrong,?
It actually happened to me again last night. Is there a log file somewhere I can have a look at that does system crashes or something before I RMA it?

On the shield there is an auto shutdown feature where you can have the tablet shutdown after a given duration of inactivity.
I don't know if there is a similar setting on the Nexus 9 but it may be a possibility.

Could be that. Any idea where this setting may be or if it is enabled by default?
Thanks

Dont think the Nexus has such option
My Nexus 9 has done this a few times. Last night I started a movie in bed, couldn't finish it, so I went to bed. I woke up and went to check my tablet and the double tap wouldn't wake it up. I had to hold the power button down for 30 seconds before It booted.
Ok, @ombadboy, could you please show a screen shot of settings/battery/Usage.
This should show a list of apps which are consuming your battery. From the one which most consumes it to the least.
Then just to make sure also post a screenshot of settings/apps/running.
From this we can see which apps have highest running priority, and are using too much RAM.

Huge 3G Data consumption by Google Play services - uses too much Battery

Observing this issue since i got my Nexus 6P, Google Play services are always on top of the list on battery consumption.
If you check details of consumption - it shows mobile radio active for too much hours even if mobile is on idle mode. You can see wakelocks even when the screen is off.
Observation: I don't use wifi unless i have to install some app or download some games data, for other things I rely on my 3G data of 1GB. But I have observed consumption of that got increased with Nexus 6P - it's (1GB) hardly lasting for 10 days. Actually I am not using data as much I use to in my Galaxy S3, even then its consumption is very high.
Something is always running in background which is consuming this data.
I guess it is google play services which is consuming this huge data.
Is anyone else observing this (If somebody observed very closely on battery & data consumption) ?
Seems extremely strange... Have you checked what background services are set to sync? I mean mine is active sync on every option possible and I never experience huge consumption.

I have all sync On as I don't want any app to not sync with server and even on my last galaxy S3 I use to do that.
On my nexus 6P (Not-rooted yet), i have installed greenify to hibernate few apps as well like - Facebook or any other app which normally run in background even then there is no improvement i can see on battery or data consumption.
I am sure if this Google Play services some how goes down in battery consumption list then this data consumption issue will automatically get resolved and battery as well.
