Hi
I read for other handset ways to manage the "fast dormancy" feature.
More info here (i didn't see the video).
The summary is that if your carrier does not implement this feature, your phone wastes battery.
Do you have some new about this for our phone(s)?
Someone knows how to detect if fast dormancy is used by carrier?
Do you see any kernel wakelocks by fast dormancy in "better battery stats" app?
Hi
Here are my stats... A lot of tipe spent for fast dormancy.

Noone cares...?
the 1st think i have to do after rooting my phone is uninstall that FD.

Does anyone know how to disable fast dormancy on the North American models of the S3? I've got a SGH-T999V specifically. I tried the app from the link in this thread but it came back with an error when I tried to disable fast dormancy.
Thanks!
It was said that:
Carrier has FD Enabled + Phone has FD Enabled = Good
Carrier has FD Disabled + Phone has FD Disabled = Good
Carrier has FD Enabled + Phone has FD Disabled = Bad
Carrier has FD Disabled + Phone has FD Enabled = Bad
So what "bad" effects does it do when it is disabled and if your carrier supports it? anyone care to explain?
ex.
- does it make your battery life worse?
- does it make your data speed slower?
Been testing for days but didn't really see much of a difference. Either FD Enabled or Disabled.
TIA!
anyone?
battery saving as it allows the data connection to quickly turn off/on when not transmitting data
^you mean that when FD is enabled with carrier support FD right?

Yes, it would seem that way, you can phone your carrier to confirm if they support FD, and you can get fast dormancy toggle in play store to toggle on/off
In my case turning on/off fast dormancy has minimal, if any, effect on battery life.
U asked if globe supports fd.. but you dont even know the effects? -.- lol..

I think he is right to ask even if he doesn't know its effect. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah i know it's a good question.. but it is unnecessary to make another thread. Overriding his previous thread would've lessen the redundancy of the FD topic and this could actually help out a lot of users
Again, nice question bai!

Hello all,
I am more than happy with my SIII but I'm finding a wakelock rather disturbing. It happens as soon as i turn on the "Use wireless networks" under the Location services settings.
If it's turned off, the wakelock disappears. But you know, it's hard to live with it turned off, as it greatly helps the GPS set a location way faster than it would do on its own... So using location based apps while it's off is a pain in the ass.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Nothing can be done about it really. Applications poll location data constantly when this option is ticked. It even tells you data is collected in the background regardless of what you are doing. To be honest many can cope with the 5-10 second wait for a GPS fix. Either deal with the drain or disable it.
5-10 seconds?? Most of the time I get message saying current location is temporarily unavailable, especially when I'm indoors.
I can't believe I have to deal with this problem. Am I the only one with this problem?? I was expecting a better answer.
just deactivate it. if you use a gps-app it will tell you to activate GPS anyways and while doing that you can then activate the network location as well.
with lbe privacy guard you can Block it if you are rooted

So basically there's no proper fix for this. All I can do is work around the issue? Coming from an iphone I feel this is a bit frustrating.
Thing is that the option I have to disable does not use GPS. It uses mobile signal and WiFi radios, so turning off GPS is useless.
Can anybody else help?
disable Google now,I think you will find that is what is polling your location

It's been disabled all along, as I am Spanish and the current support for that language is nonexistent.
Any other ideas guys?

coming from iPhone then you should know that the 4S had a similar problem when it came out, and the workaround was about the same...how you felt back then??
edit
how do you check if you have partial wakelock on an iphone btw??
Disable location in general and use Tasker or make a profile on AOSP rom to turn on location service when you're going out. After all you don't need location indoors right?

Well, in theory, your solution sounds awesome. But as i stated earlier, there's a small problem: battery drain is not caused by the GPS itself, but by the other "tricks" the phone has in order to find a location (wifi and radio).
I don't know about that problem with the 4S, but as you said, it occurred when it came out. The SIII has been out for 6 months now, and there's been several updates, yet the issue is still there.
BTW, i check the partial wakelocks with Better Battery Stats (you can find it for free here on the forums)
Just a general question... Does anyone else have this issue? If any of you guys do, then i'll learn to live with it, but being the only one would really make me feel silly.
Well, I just don't use that option, AFAIK the new cm10 build changed the GPS so that it no longer favor the North America but search for the nearest satellite instead. I notice this change already make my gps quick enough so I don't bother..

I have the same problem. The only solution I found was to disable networks location. Is there any app to identify clearly what is the app that it's requesting location from Google services? It is not maps because with 3g watchdog installed it reports separated (maps and Google services) the leak is on Google services.
Ps: I have found that this problem only exists when connected to a WiFi network. On 3g the requests are less intensive.

Well I've just been doing some investigating with Better Battery Stats to find out why my battery was so bad with JB compared to ICS, then googled the NetworkLocationLocator as that seems to be the problem which brought me here (I'm a member anyway).
I must say it's pretty disappointing that this problem is occurring because surely the same option was being used in ICS and it never drained my battery back then. The only thing I can think of is Google Now has something to do with this. I have Google Now disabled anyway as (although it's a brilliant feature) it doesn't really benefit me as I don't travel around much, but I get the feeling that is the root of this problem because that's the biggest change in coming from ICS to JB (other than cosmetics and UI) right?
This is not even a problem.
People tick all kind of options or fail to go to see their apps properly starting from Facebook, Google+ , Google now, weather apps... And then complain how come they get excessive polling.
Problem lies in those same people wanting those services to record their location , but don't want any battery drain... At least case with all those around me that asked.
Trust me without WiFi and network triangulation the same services when allowed waste way more power using real GPS.

Thanks for the sweeping generalisation but I had the exact same option ticked in ICS and it was never a problem. Fact is in JB it causes a problem for some reason. It may be Google Now, who knows, but one things for sure, I should be able to have that option ticked and not have it keep my phone awake all night.

Maybe I misunderstood. Sorry.
I use Google now and maps for network location as well as fancy widget polling every 2 hours. All other apps I individually where permitted set to off.
This setup does not keep my phone all night. I see where it wakes the phone in intervals and does its thing and goes back to sleep. Combined with my exchange email polling every hour overnight, I don't see any excessive battery usage compared to what I had with ICS.

Turn of location history, leave the rest on. Wakelock is still there but less.
Hi all ,
I have a brand new mini pro, brought a week ago, and i'm experiencing a battery issue.
I really like it, but the battery runs out in the afternoon.
I've tried to change every kind of rom and kernel, and i changed the battery too.
No improvements.
Please tell me if this stats are good.
I am afraid my phone may be broken.
Thanks

Looking at awake and screen on stats I'd say it's normal. U gave it a heavy beating by the looks of it, or probably some rogue apps making it awake most of the time. But i doubt it's a rogue app because the awake and screen on graph matches each other so it prove u use the phone.
Unstable data traffic may draining battery. Also wifi, sync stuff, gps, n brightness. Check it out.
And u can use some tweak too.

Stay in 2G , u have the same problem like me poor signal 3G/H i don`t now why but the phone realy has poor signal problem compared with other . Better battery u can get if u disable the data (in service they say to disabel but it is a smartphone why to buy smartphone without data?) and disable facebook autosync .
Thanks for reply.
I need data, so i can't disable, but when i am at home, i use wifi instead of data to save battery.
Auto sync is off, facebook is neither installed, brightness less than 50%.
And i don't have background apps running.
Should i use 2g instead of 3g as someone said?

Sure. If u use 3g and you're in a country with poor signal quality your battery will drain faster.
In Italy we have this kind of situations with many operator so we use 2g and when we need faster data (youtube or browser) switch to 3g network
R it may be a hardware problem if none of the above r working take it to sony...it maybe a hardware prob
It not hardware my minipro was compared with Samsung S plus , Gio, Moto Defy , Iphone 3g all with the same stok rom and with same aplications (whatsapp , yahoo , facebook) on 3g (H) and minipro it was very unstable most of time he stay in 2g and other phones stay 3g all the time , the grafic in battery stats say that ...well on other phone don`t have this problem for exemple my Defy and Iphone in elevator have 3g but mini pro have 2 line on 2g an if it was in call it disconecting , the phone was in service 3 times more than a month for test but nothing ....this is the phone .... after 4 months of using i sellit to buy HTC status and my battery last 1 day with facebook yahoo whatsapp a little browsing and sync so this is a smartphone not sony who tell my to stop data ...hello it is a smartphone it depending by internet connection i need that mail sync ...i need browsing ...i need chat why to trow with 190e for a smartphone if u can using ...?

Hey guys,
I have BBB (Better Battery Stats) installed and saw that one of the alarms is causing a huge battery drain. Its caused by fast dormancy which should actually save energy. In BBB it is called com.qualcomm.fastdormancy. In my case the phone can not enter deep sleep when fast dormancy is active.
I found an article describing the problem with fast dormancy ([FIX][ROOT] Disable Fast dormancy on sony smarthphones) but unfortunately I was not able to disable it. The guide is just for Sony devices and I could not find the folder ./etc/fast-dormancy.
Anybody with the same problem? Does somebody know a different method to disabled it (except for editing the build.prop file because it could cause a bootloop)?
Thanks!
I solved that by rooting and then instaling Service Disable from playstore. Then disabled fastdormancy Service.

Yes this might solve the problem, but what fastdormancy do? And what are the consequences of disabling it?

Not sure what it does, but when I disabled it the phone felt laggy, now I re-enabled it and it is snappy again.
Sometimes, Play services cause the battery draining issue and sometimes Installing some faulty app and overclocking the device may reduce the battery life of your device.
There are common steps you can follow like using black wallpaper to take advantage of the AMOLED panel to save battery.Uninstalling unnecessary apps can boost your battery life
I just read some tips which are common but useful->>http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-oneplus-x/
Hi,
I ran into the same Problem. Phone most time running @300mHz instead going to DeepSleep.
(Network Providor for me is currently SIM.DE - Sub Providor of O2 Germany)
This morning I found an article and disabled "Fast Dormancy" with the Build Prop Editor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/tut-disable-fast-dormancy-battery-life-t2348597
Seems to work fine for me so far. Phone is going to deep sleep again now.
I changed this 2 hours ago, so I can't say anything about longtime use or potential other problems.
Anyway, I would like to share these links because there are some useful information probably interesting for some people.

Yes. For me situtation is much better now. There are still some dormancy wakeups but I think this is normal behavior and initiated through some apps.
If I doesn't use the phone much over the day, I get about 1 to 3 hours longer battery time.
I don't recognize any other problems or limitations, so for me the fix is perfect.
