So I've been trying to reduce the amount my phone wakes up. So far in gsam, the ones that consern me are android system and google services. Android system held my phone awake for 1.5 hrs and woke it 70 times. Google services was held awake for 22seconds but woke it 63 times. These are my 2 biggest wakelocks. I have sync turned off etc. How can I stop/ reduce the amount of wake locks?
Well android system is your phone Lol so that has to stay on or you have no ROM at all
And Google services is recommended to be on
If you need info on what the services do than go into the manage apps section than scroll the right so it says all at the top and click on the service and scroll down and it will tell you why that service is needed/ triggered by
Not all of the services will tell you exactly what there for but if your only worried about those 2 than your phone is fine
EDIT: if you scroll to the the running section in app manager and click on a service it gives you what you need to know
this is mine

i know there needed, but waking the phone that many times....?
Are you using latitude? Try disabling google location services to see if that cuts down on the number of wake ups.
Of course if you have sync off you'd think it would kill that too, just taking a guess.

"google messaging service" & "media" are constantly running. How would I end those? Do I even need messaging service? I can't find it on android tuner in the system app sections.
There's a thread on media server wakelocks and someone said it may be due to corrupted media files. Check it out:

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.

Firstly I have a HTC one S, stock, not rooted.
I have disabled everything twitter related, however, in better battery stats, the process "tpd" is still showing and using a fair bit of my battery, does anyone know what is going on and how to truly disable twitter?

I have snowstorm and sense weather syncing every few hours and gmail push as usual, I haven't got anything else syncing.
Disabled most of sense apps apart from gallery, dialer/people, messaging, weather and a few other things.
I don't know for sure but I would guess you haven't disabled Twitter completely. There's got to be some app that's still running in the background. You need to root your phone and start uninstalling things.
Thanks for the reply
Everything that I can see related to twitter is disabled.
- twitter
- twitter for HTC sense
- TwitterAPIEngine
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I have also disabled all the sense friends stream stuff.
Really don't want to root my phone just yet.
Try downloading Watchdog Lite from the Play Store. This app shows you which apps are using the most CPU cycles (and therefore consuming the most power). This could maybe allow you to identify which app this "tpd" process is associated with. (Having said that, BetterBatteryStats does usually show the app name as well as the process name, as you can see in the other entries in your screenshot, so if BBS couldn't identify it, Watchdog might not either. But the Lite version is of course free, so you may as well try it)
Ok thanks for the suggestion, will give that a shot and see
Just got a reply from someone else there regarding this and this is what he said:
It looks like tdp is just a system process betterbatterystats hasn't recognised, like surfaceflinger but added by HTC or just a new ICS process. (the PID is 0?)
If you look under Settings>Power>Battery use>Android System>included packages it can be one of those.
All the twitter related stuff will start off as something like com.htc.engine.twitter or com.twitter.Android in betterbatterystats. TDP is also a 3rd party twitter app last updated in 2010, that's probably where the twitter link came from?

And I just checked there and this is what comes under "android system":
As well as system UI being listed there.
I will email the developer of better battery stats to see what the "tpd" process is.
So this has happened twice now. First on MeanBean and now on Sense 5 Port. Well here's my story
I wake up, then 3 hours later my battery life is dead. Looked at the battery consumption and usage and it was in fact Google Services.. again. I don't know how I fixed it the first time, but damn its annoying and it overheats my phone like no other. Is there a way to fix it?
Searching online I found that factory resets and all that work, as well as disabling google now, done both but still nothing. Do I just wait it out?

Clear data in Google play services and play store, then head to sync and accounts and turn Google sync off, reboot your phone, once the system is loaded go back and re-enable sync and wait for everything to sync, all of the Google services that you have selected should have a green checkmark, open play store and make sure you have the latest version... After that you should be good...

I mentioned this in the original sense 5 thread, but check your playstore version. If it is below 4.1.10, then search for a more recent version. I think there is a leaked version of 4.2.3. That should do it.
I don't use it for any reason. I don't have auto upload for pics on or anything. I've been off of my charger for 2 hours and it's responsible for 33% of my battery depletion.
What can I do to prevent this?
Thanks

The app is a nightmare for me. Turning off sync, disabling notifications, etc, and it just sucks the life from the device.
When I need it, I hit it from the Web.

juan, as you know you can't uninstall Google + from the device. I could disable it all together we but what other things is that going to affect? Youtube account, etc...?

You can effectively disable it, and it has zero effect on any other Google app.
Deleting it can be done, but there will be library files left behind that you may wish were gone.
Best freezing it.

So you're saying just disable Google + all together basically? Any negative affects with youtube or youtube comments, etc...?

I also had a problem with this, it was due to me using the Auto Backup for pictures. Even if I selected "only on WiFi" and "only while charging". I used Tasker to kill G+ and run Greenify right after I unplug and my Google+ and Media drain has gone away.
I got this phone 1 month after release. It's been doing well but recently I've been noticing wierd battery drainage while the phone is off. It's lasting me around half a day, maybe 2 hours more. This is under normal usage. Downloaded music off spotify, my watch and headphones on bluetooth. It occasionally gets hot in my pocket and appears to drain around 25% sitting overnight with AOD off.
Cloud crap. Google backup Transport maybe.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if the helps at night. Backup Transport is one of it's dependencies but that may not be enough to kill it completely.
One reason I like a SD card; it greatly reduces or eliminates the need for cloud storage.
Disable all Samsung, Google and carrier feedback. Disable Google Firebase too.

Saddly google backups happend during the night while charging, samsung cloud is inactive and battery usage shows that Google Play Services consumes less then One UI. I also found it very hard to recreate the problem using a different phone, like huawei or other samsungs.

Tap on AOD >.5% @hr
Always on AOD >1%@hr
That's on my N10+. If you're not seeing better than that, there's somethings running in the background. Probably Backup Transport is at the top of the list.
