Try downloading a wake lock manager, just do a Google search for one. Then use the phone as you normally would. It will analyse which apps are preventing deep sleep

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Ah sorry, i hadn't seen them! The offending apps/processes are clearly highlighted, try going to the application manager, all apps tab, and scroll down to the respective process. Either disable it or un install. If neither is an option then try freezing it and unfreezing it, or clearing the cache

My mobile remain awake most of the time randomly. It doesn't go into deep sleep. Any help.

For example, the download manager can be paused, as can the network location service. As a last resort, if your phone is rooted, replace your kernel with a different one, it may not be handling wake lock management very well.

you. guys have to do a wiped clean install from scratch witch means..
do a full wipe/factory reset then go in mount/storage and format system (remember to remount it again afterwards)
then flash rom+gapps - this way you have no leftovers whatsoever!
i have no deep sleep issues done this way or else for that matter

No need to flash anything..
Backup all 3'rd party apps + callogs/sms/settings(no system apps, only data) with titanium backup. Then do a factory reset, now install your backups without data and restore your system data..
The apps u installed the last 10 days,those should be restored with some time difference so u can monitor witch app is causing wake locks..
Alternative is to uninstall the apps u installed the last 10 days,to see if that fixes your wake lock problem..
Ps. Facebook can cause wakelocks

First..what 3rd party apps are?? Then
Did u saw the screen shoot?? U will find a process named audioOut_1 at partial wakelock (plz reverse the screen shoots maybe u can know what is happining)
I excuse u to tell me what my problem is in
Btw this isuee is appeared today and i have uninstalled the recent up. No thing change..no sleep just 8 min throght this isuee
Thaaaanks and plz reply me as fast u can

U call this easier ? and u dont even now if it solves the problem, after all this hassle, and then u even say do a factory reset..lol do the fresh install and be sure there's no left overs, thats the only way to exclude possible errors! and by far a lot faster too
then if problem persists, install betterbatterystats 0.92 from market to see whats preventing phone to sleep - but there iset any if u do full wipe!

But idont need rom. I need stock l...only root..so what i have to flash?!

[Q] Help with phone being awake almost 100% of the time

As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.
Uninstall maps and you'll be back in action
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I can try that but I've always used Maps and it never happened before. Sure it eats some resources but I dont remember it causing the phone to be awake.
Uninstalled maps and phone is still awake.

Reflash the kernel. And I agree with you.I found the V16.1 better than the later updates

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do

Help me find the culprit!

Over the past week since I got the S3 I've been Turing off all the stuff that eats the battery power.... syncs etc.
I noticed that when I leave wifi on overnight that theres alot a wakelocks still showing up in the graph. BBS shows connectivityService and activitymanager as top two wakelocks of about 15 mins each.
I can't find out what is causing these wakelocks.
When I turn wifi off, the drain goes down to about 1.2% per hour according to battery monitor widget.
Can anyone once and for all help me get rid of all these wakelocks so that the phone is in deep sleep when it's meant to be? I even turn wifi off during sleep policy.
Thanks.

Just needed the first page of your wakelocks. Kernel wakelock can be found from the drop down menu when you hit partial wakelocks. Also use cpu spy to check whether your phone is properly going into deep sleep.
Normal procedure for me when trying to fix a wakelock:
1. Identify wakelocks with the highest up time
2. google the wakelock names because someone else has probably come across the same problem.
You can rule out rom issues because you're running stock with cf root kernel
Also I noticed AudioOut_1- a fix for that wakelock is usually turning off button sounds(not volume!) and in some cases the haptic feedback as well
If you don't mind me asking, what's that frog icon in your status bar?

I dont see anything that could affect your battery. I suggest doing a full wipe and starting fresh. Only restore apps and not their data. Only restore data for apps that are really important and get a startup manager like autostarts

I take it I can use titanium pro to back up and then restore all my apps after wipe? How do I go about restoring on the data from selective apps?
I've been using autostarts since last night and I find it excellent.
One question regarding it....how come when I've stuff like Google+ and Game hub frozen in titanium, it keeps showing up in autostarts(and set to start up at certain event changes...even though its frozen)??
thanks for help so far.
No problem. I don't know why the frozen apps show up in the other lists. I usually just limit the apps in the 'after startup' list and leave the rest alone. I normally use titanium to remove them completely.
As for individual data restoration, you can click individual apps in titanium and restore their data. Also check out your Samsung battery stats and see if cell standby is eating up your battery(it's a problem for me but yours might be more serious)

Well I don't think cell standby is a problem for me. I did a little experiment this morning.
Battery was 100% charged, so I unplugged it, turned off wifi and mobile data and let it rest for 3 hours.
Came back and saw that zero drain had occurred and that the battery was still at 99%(which it goes to straight away when you take off charge as you know).
I also had zero wakelocks as the phone was in a true deep sleep.
So I'm still in the position of trying to locate the cause of my wakelocks when either wifi or mobile data is on!
Could these wakelocks be from the wifi/mobile data just searching for a signal? I've tried to weed out any possible apps causing wakelocks when the internet is on but still cannot find the problem.
Well if you you've narrowed it down to your wifi/data problem, try flashing a different modem(possibly one of the newer ones)

Slow operation, keyboard and battery issue

Hi,
I have 3 issues. Hope somebody can help:
1: Phone operates too slow. For example when I go to menu, app icons take around 5 seconds to appear. Similarly when I go to home screen it takes the same lag. So much delay that I could capture the screen short. You can see that weather clock and alarm widgets didn't appear. I cleared cache several times n restarts but it works fine for few mins n then again becomes laggy.
2: Keyboard disappears after typing few letters and sometimes it takes several secs to get it back. Reappearing delay is may be related to the above problem of slow response but why it disappears in first place.
3: Battery doesn't charge despite the whole night charging. Its happens not do often but really bugging me. I noticed that whenever I get missed notifications like calls or msgs it stops charging. Not sure why it's happening.
Looking forward to some help from experts. Please note that I feel these problems are occurring more after recent update. I'm using stock Rom of intl s3 version.
Thanks

I am also on XXBLFB and facing no such issues. You should check if some app is not eating a lot of RAM.
Jelly Bean won't be available for this region anytime soon keeping in view the time it took S2 to receive ICS update here.
I suspect the same. my RAM doesn't go below 600mb even if I close all apps and clear ram from task manager. After restart, phone behaves well for an hour but then again becomes laggy. My S2 is much faster than this with lot more apps. This S3 is really disappointing me.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my suggestion is to do a factory reset (after backing up your contacts, messages, notes etc). then download your apps again and note the behavior of phone after each app. You might find the culprit then. It doesn't seem like an issue with the update since I also updated mine. Also very less likely its gonna be hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the CPU is not working at its entire power. If the factory reset is not working, maybe you should go and replace the device, before it's too late. When you bought it ? If the phone have less than 30 days you should get an instant replace. Not sure that JB will help you, as the installation isn't like a "full format" of your phone
Hard reset: *2767*3855# (no warning message before formating, so type it when you're ready, also remove the sdcard if you don't want wiped too.)
Or *#*#7780#*#* - Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
Thanks. Will get in touch with the vendor for replacement (though I'm sure he will not agree that easily) or else will do a complete reset. I'm really pissed off for spending this much for getting this device. Samsung is very serious in pushing their loyalists away!

Sometimes, there can be some errors. You know, nobody's perfect and we are all humans. After one week after I bought my phone, I found that it have sort of scratch on the screen, but looked like inside of it. It could be seen only in high light. The vendor replaced it instantly. This one is perfect. Love it and is extremely fast and I have many apps on it. Good luck!

Check in task manager, you should have an idea about how is going bad. Also change the antivirus for Avast. Avast is much better. However I recommend without antivirus. I just scan sometimes my phone with it or lookout but never leave the antivirus installed. Is just a waste of RAM memory.
If nothing works do a full backup with Kies and do the complete factory reset.
Most of the apps will be automatically reinstalled when you add back your Google account, but you need the backup for settings and saves.

Even with all the apps I have on my phone the RAM usage is around 580-640 (stupid SwiftKey using 45 mb most of time) and when I kill the apps I have 430 mb, slowly increasing til 530. Try reset, you have nothing to lose.

Yup i experienced this issue since about one week, every day it froze once. Problem is i always make changes, update apps and such. Change launcher settings, add widgets.
I read some people were complaining about recent Dolphin updates restarting sgs2.
Maybe go launcher ex has probles too, i unticked prevent force close.
Maybe battery widget is making problems. I used one that checked battery health and could also say how much time it had left. I changed that one to one that doesnt constantly measure it. Phone didnt freeze since then. (Only one, two days now)

I don't know what revolt is, but i gave you some examples, of what might have caused it for me, though i can't be sure it won't happen again, it's too soon. I'll report if it hapens again and i do solve it sometime, if i'm sure what the problem was. For now i think it was the battery widget.
Asuming, it worked before and its not a rom or kernel issue, try to think what apps might cause this and make a post when you solved it.

I don't know what revolt is, but i gave you some examples, of what might have caused it for me, though i can't be sure it won't happen again, it's too soon. I'll report if it hapens again and i do solve it sometime, if i'm sure what the problem was. For now i think it was the battery widget.
Asuming, it worked before and its not a rom or kernel issue, try to think what apps might cause this and make a post when you solved it.

Well, I used the rom for about 2-3 days, no problem. After that i did install one game... so I uninstalled it. I'll see again if my phone will hang. If it does not then I'm pretty sure its the game's fault. Because it hanged two times in a single day

I can confirm, that as soon as i uninstalled the battery widget, and replaced it, it stopped freezing, must be my roms or kernels fault, cause that widget was installed 5 mil.+ times...

Hmm... not for me...
Maybe it wasnt the game afterall... maybe you should try siyah kernel or something.

If you have ClockworkMod Recovery, try clearing cache, Dalvik cache and fix permissions. Also download SD Maid and CacheCleaner-NG to clear cache from all apps at once, instead of going through them, one at a time.

install it and report back :cyclops:
I have tried different roms. I have superwiped my sd card and formatted my external card. I have flashed the stock ICS firmware and then tried flashing from that. I have tried to use System Tuner from the market to freeze or disable some of the responsibilities of downloads, downloads, sec.android.providers.downloads, drm content manager and it just seems to make other things not work like the market or downloading files.
I don't know what else to do but I cannot seem to shake this battery drain...please help!!!

Better Battery Stats is installed. I plugged and unplugged and now I'm letting it gather its stats. I have to go to work and so that will allow the 1-4 hours to compile a proper dump and I will attempt to post it here. Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

My worst is network location locator that drains my battery, only just installed bbs yesterday so not sure what all the wakelocks mean or alarms or anything else.
I know media is your downloads and you probably have your apps on auto update.
Doesn't have many instructions.
You must have a very low screen setting for 20% mine is at least at 70 and that's when I have it on auto brightness

You have the media scanner bug. There is no real cure but formatting the external sd card can help.
The simplest solution is just to force close it. It should not return until you reboot .
It's a Samsung issue so until they fix it we just have to live with it

I do have it on auto update but the thing is that I was having no problems as of 2 - 3 weeks when I was flashing up to a Rom a day trying to find the best jellybean one. Then all of a sudden, BAM!!!

I did format it and started from scratch but it is still being a *****, lol. However, I installed bbs and after 4 hours of it runnning while at work it reset itself for some reason and doesn't show me a log. But I plugged and unplugged and seem to be having some drain but not as much.

Grab this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiY29tLmFkZHoubWVkaWFzY2FubmVycm9vdCJd from the play store!
Can probably do it with Tasker as well.

Ok, I installed it and rebooted. Any word on what it is supposed to accomplish? Or how it does it?

I have the Android System problem. It drains a LOT of battery overnight. Really annoying. Any way to resolve that?

Sorry was late here when I posted, I should have explained.
Run the app from the app drawer, hit the disable Media Scanner button. This will kill the media scanner everytime you reboot (if you are roorted, assume you are). To rescan for media just open the app and then close it.
Check after a reboot to make sure Media is not chewing up the battery. It works for me under JB and also did under GB.
If you use Tasker you should be able to achieve the same thing. So you could just kill that process with Tasker and either run it and kill it at certain times or the author of the above also has an app just called Rescan Media which you could just run via tasker at a given time interval. Personally never found the need but I guess it depends on how much media you actiually hold on your device etc...
