Few days ago i've upgraded to the official 4.1.2 (not rooted) and i can't get half a day the way i normally use my SGS2...
Let the screenshot speaks for itself:

As you can see huge (instant 20%+) battery drop occurs when i restart my phone.
I'm not using GPS , Bluetooth or whatever, just Wi-Fi. Only Chrome and Facebook was used when i took that screenshot. AND YES - IT LASTED ONLY THREE HOURS NORMAL USE.
Haven't had this issue before i upgraded. Last time i checked the leaked 4.1.2 there was similar problem and i hoped they'd fix it but nah...
Any help would be welcome , guys!!!
Install BetterBatteryStats, read the BBS thread on here, post to that thread. Same as for any Android version whether GB, ICS or JB (those screenshots are pretty much meaningless, BTW).

AW: [Q] Huge battery drain since i've upgraded to 4.1.2
The main reason of battery drain on 4.1.2 is media scanner. I found a good way to stop that. I downloaded 2 apps called "media scanner root" and "media scanner". One stops the media scanner from running and the other one runs it as it should normaly run.

My phone is not rooted. Is there any build-in method to disable media scanning?
P.S: Nobody seem to pay attention to my BBS log in the other thread.

Instead if using that app,.you can disable it using Terminal, but you still need to be rooted!
About BBS thread, please be patient. Someone will answer soon. Meanwhile, u can go through the BBS thread to see if there are cases similar to yours.

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
This thread explains and shows what Android OS is and is not - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18140918
Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
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!!)
So hi guys!
I have a question regarding the location service of JB. I'm talking about the google location service over wireless connection - not gps.
I have two devices - both running jelly bean. I have Google now completely disabled also i ticked off location history, i simply want to use location for stuff like weather apps and maps, so i see where i am when i open the map.
I have this feature enabled since i was running Froyo on my Desire back in the days And it was never an issue in terms of battery drain.
But now its just aweful. On both my devices i can basically DOUBLE the standby time when i disable the location service... And if i check BetterBatteryStats app it always places location services in first place for wakelocks.
Here comes the question: Is this a general Bug on Jelly Bean or is there a way to make it behave like it did on ICS or GB? I dont need it to update every 1min or whatever it does to drain my battery... Once every hour is more than sufficient! Are there settings for this somewhere?
See Screenshot on how it looks like on my Transformer prime. For my SGS III this would show up as Android-System, but its the same thing in BetterBatteryStats.
cheers!

I have been wondering the same thing. What I don't understand is why the drain is so bad even on Wifi. I don't know much about coding, but it seems like there should be no reason to check your location as long as you are on a Wifi network because obviously you haven't moved far since you are still connected. I have over 30 minutes held awake by maps and never left my Wifi network.

Map applications are the most power drain , it must open the wireless network and GPS,They are all power consumption
Well at least i'm not alone anyway i disabled the location services on my devices for the moment and only enable them when i need it. Big improvement in standby drain! Its a workaround but no solution...
cheers

Maybe you can use One Power Guard from android play shop, can help you solve the standby problem.
clouds5, did you ever find a permanent solution better than to turn on location services when needed? Your op describes my situation perfectly (except with sgs ii, jb) and I now only tick on location services right before I fire up maps/navigation/etc. Makes a huge difference in the amount of standby time, but I'm looking for a more satisfying solution.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and cannot get this to quit! It's not showing up in my downloads, when I try long clicking on it in my active applications it just brings me to my home page and I disabled FB (which is not showing anywhere on my phone but I'm unable to enable in Play Store). PLEASE HELP!

I'm getting it as well, along with a bunch of people who also posted this problem today on Android Central. To fix it, long press on the notification until "app info" pops up. Go into app info, force stop it, and then clear data.
Alternatively, find the app called "downloads" in your app drawer, open it, press the "other downloads" button on the right. You should see the Facebook download with an in progress status. Tick the box next to it and then press the little trashcan icon to delete it.
Problem solved.
Edit: Probably best to do both methods, as it came back on me once after just deleting it from downloads app.
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out what it was either! I have Galaxy S3 with CM10.1 on it. How did this problem hit so many devices and so many ROMs at the same time!?
If this doesn't relate to our phone (the i777) it doesn't belong here. As in an app that has nothing to do with our phone. App problems can be discussed in the apps and games section, via pm, or in the MAIN general thread not related to a specific phone model.

Its a strange problem that affects multiple devices, and many had no idea of knowing if it affected one particular device/ROM or not. Relax.
I got it twice today on my Note 2 running a Touchwiz ROM, so it doesn't seem device dependant. FB Playstore error I would assume.

I just read online WHY this is happening: Its because Facebook has pushed an update that will allow future updates to happen OUTSIDE of the Play Store (aka silent updates).
I haven't been able to get the direct update to work so far, but The Verge confirms that it is from FB, so it is safe.

First of all here is what I am running on my S4. Hyperdrive RLS7. Ok that it. lol.
So I have been having battery drain on my S4 and these wakeups logged all from Google Play and or Google services. I've tried many fixes (clear app data/cache/disable/uninstall updates/shutdown, update to the newest version, media scan fix via hyperdrive settings) and none of them work. I know others have this problem and wanted to consolidate more info on this if there is a solution. Here are some pictures to show the troubles i am having w/ google services taking my precious battery life.

I seen the same issue and clearing data, uninstalling updates, reboot and reinstall resolved it for me, both on the stock ROM and hyperdrive.
Not much Help I know since you have already done that sounds like. But it did take care of it for me.

Hi there. As the title suggests, I have a few questions about a certain stock app and another for Jelly Bean 4.2.
1.- I'd like to know if anybody can know what this app does. I didn't notice it till today, and before you ask anything, my phone is new, it has only 3 days of use, and it's not rooted. For those curious, it's a BLU Dash 5.0 running JB 4.2. I can't read chinese but as I was saying, I find it a little, odd, to have it as a stock app. Why stock? Because I can't uninstall it but I can disable it. I haven't done so since I don't know what the app does. Here are the screenshots:

2.- My next question regards the RAM. I know Jelly Bean is slightly different and heavier than ICS, but is the RAM I have in my screenshot, well, normal for the activities running? (My phone has 512 mb as the minimum required). Of course, I have no idea if it's an issue since I experience no lag. (Sorry if it's a noobish question ), yet on ICS, I had around 130 mb or so free. But does having free RAM really matter?
I appreciate any response given, thank you for your time.
Hi. For the first, disable it and see if anything useful stops working. It's probably not tied in with anything you actually need. If it is? Enable it.
For the second, don't worry about RAM. If there is no lag then it's a good thing. RAM keeps necessary stuff at the ready. In fact, not having things in RAM can create lag for that very reason.
Hope this helps, mate. Cheers.

Edit: forgot to affirm that yes, JB needs more RAM, and with only 512 you won't have much still free.

Thanks for your quick reply! So, the RAM issue is normal? Oh thanks, I thought that the app I mentioned was tied to the RAM, but I guess it's not. Thank you!
Okay, I just got that weird app to show up on my RAM, apparently it runs 2 services called "UI service" and "SS". Also it has the name of com.port.win... Any ideas about it?
EDIT: Wait, it was another chinese app I had on my downloads. I didn't download that! Is this a wormhole or something??? I just uninstalled it.
Information about what this log does?
Okay, sorry for double posting by the way. I found this log inside my SD Card and was wondering if it's related to the app. Can somebody please tell me what this log does? I'll leave it as an attachment.
As always, I appreciate any help given thanks.
(By the way, I removed my IMEI from inside the log for security reasons).
