Terrible Battery (AudioOut_2 Wakelock) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting a really huge partial Wakelock called AudioOut_2 (1013). Its running over 50 percent of the time. Preventing my phone from deep sleep.
I did searching online but can't find a good answer.
I don't have touchscreen sounds enabled. My phone does this on silent mode too. I have Viber, Line, and Whatsapp installed but don't use them much. Some people said it was a Viber issue but uninstalling it didn't help.
Help!?

I NEVER play music. I usually never use anything that plays sound. No touch sounds, usually muted phone, no music, etc. I don't understand why I have this issue.

Viber is the problem. Search for it.
Cheers.

I uninstalled it before and it didn't work.
But I just did it again and reboot the phone. No more wakelock!
Problem solved! Viber was the problem.

Ah, crap. Does that mean that I must un-install Viber? I have the exact same problem!

Viber was the problem for me and a lot of people online. Uninstall it then REBOOT.
Edit: then give them a 1 star review.

A possible (!) reason of high Android OS/battery draining(Need feedback!)

Hello,
I just installed Android Booster FREE. It's an app that allows you to see what apps are draining the most.
And I maybe found a reason of high OS usage.
On my phone the top 1 draining app is MTP Application(with 36%). Since it's an Android app(package name: "com.android.MtpApplication), it'll be counted in Android OS and is indeed listed.
Could anyone please try and verify this on their own phones? To see app specific usage, install with link above, open it ->Utilities -> Power Manager -> Applications.
Sorry if this isn't the reason or if it's only on my phone. But I don't think so. And it would be a good reason since MTP application is Samsung-specific. My firmware: XKE2.
Please let me know! Thanks!
And please don't vote if you have frozen your apps !

Yeah I just frozen it and renamed the apk to be sure, but I need feedback(and % eventually) from those who haven't frozed it and are reporting high OS usages.

that's strange, but that's also counted as a part of "Android OS" I think, so it could be that (even though I don't have that!).
Are you sure that this program works? It lists Video maker as 23% of my power consumption.. And I never ever started the video maker on my phone......

Hmm if it's that I would look a bit dumb with creating a thread for that ^^'. I installed it on advice from someone on this forum in Themes/apps section(here), and I though it wasn't bad because the rest of the apps seems to be correct with me /:.
Here is my usage. Its Android OS again... but look at the time since unplugged and the total power left (60%)!! I have used it quite a bit as well. Ive never had a smart phone that lasts so long.

Wow, this app is definitely not working good . I can't see why keyboard would drain battery. Sorry for this guys. The application probably just go in "Android OS" and pick ups a random application for blaming it.
At least I tried, I guess. :/
here it is: com.sec.android.app.encrypt

Well this app is not good working: it just picks up the first in the list of "Android OS" as I have experienced.
Mine says BluetoothTest!
The MTP makes a certain sense though. If you look in various events in the Autostarts app, it appears a lot.

GTALK_ASYNC_CONN Wakelock - So Frustrating!

Since upgrading to 4.1.2 I'm suffering a bit with battery life. Looking at BBS, in the past 57 minutes my battery has gone from 100 to 92% I've had 242 wakelocks from GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint
Now when I was on 4.1.1 I suffered terrible battery life until I unticked "Use wifi to help determine location", and then I was averaging about 32-34 hours to a full battery (about 3% per hour), great! I was very happy with that. Now I'm losing 7-10% per hour and this wakelock seems to be the issue.
After Googling about a bit there doesn't seem to be a concrete solution, so any help is appreciated.

Maybe you can log out of GTalk?
It seems to be a Gtalk issue so why not log out of it ?
Better yet,just uninstall it for few days and observe the behavior.

Hi Eggman, thanks for your reply.
I should have mentioned in the first post, from what I've read it isn't actually Google+ that causes this, it's a general Google Account process, and to be fair I shouldn't have to log out of G+ to save battery, I don't with FB or Twitter. (I'm not shooting the messenger here)
Anyway, luckily I don't use G+ so it I have just loaded it up and logged out, let's see if it changes anything.
He says gtalk, you say g+... See the discrepancy?

Sorry, I thought Gtalk was just a byproduct of Google+, basically like Facebook Chat is to Facebook.
Well, either way I've logged out of Google+ and it's completely killed the wakelock. Weird.
Gtalk and google services like gmail were facing a widespread outage today. So that's why the wakelock. It'll get fine once the service resumes normally.

No. Gtalk is independent of G+.

My girlfriends Nexus 4 had this wakelock and it was draining her battery pretty quickly. I monitored it for a bit and realised that at work she connects to a free wifi network which blocks the ports Google Service uses to sync. I told her not to use that wifi network anymore and the wakelock has gone.
Could it be something similar to this for you?

Yes at my work we have proxy connection wifi and I realised when wifi is on this wakelock is and when I'm on 3g it isn't. But the weird thing I didn't have this wakelock at all before 4.1.2 with the same situation.

Then probably I am the only one that Async_fock keeps showing even if I am not hooked up to wifi or hspa.

Ive had this issue for a while now, its a massive wakelock compared to the rest of them!
The solution that worked for me, although I need help with it, is to disable all the 'gtalk' entries under Google Framework Services in the app called Autorun Manager.
Freezing the app, or logging out has no effect as its linked with Gmail and Play store.
HOWEVER, when i disabled these entries i therefore couldnt get gmail to auto sync anymore (didnt try play store).
SO, there are about 5 or so entries in the framework that have the word 'gtalk'. If someone could find the entry that disables this lock but still keeps gmail (and whatever else) working properly that'd be great.

From what I've personally seen, that wakelock is related to some as-yet-discovered google service doing it's thing over Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi only. When connected to my house's Wi-Fi, I've seen in a couple of times...but there is a mobile AP at my work and I am guessing they've locked things up tight and might be restricting certain traffic.... in any case, when I am connected to the APs at work, that wakelock GOES NUTS. I disable Wi-Fi... and POOF! the wakelock vanishes. As soon as I pop it back in, the WL cranks back up again. I turned off Sync and it still keeps cranking. I tried disabling google's backup, you name it.. still there. I haven't quite found out exactly what process is throwing that WL... is there a way to find that out?
Something seems to be trying to phone home over my Wi-Fi, can't, and its throwing up a WL while it keeps trying. But when I'm running over the Mobile network, it's happy as a clam and never heard from. Is there a way to find the exact process/service that is triggering this wakelock?

Facebook app battery drain

Hi, I wanted to ask something.
My facebook app after upgrading in 2.3, it consumes a lot of battery, such as 50-60%. Obviously it is not a normal thing.
Does anyone know the reason?
I'm desperate!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thank you very much!

Maybe check what the app tries to sync and what to refresh (e.g. notifications etc.) and how often it does that.
if you are rooted you can get a better view on the battery consumption with BetterBatteryStats (search here on XDA).

you can also try to use Gemini to switch on/off services used by facebook (or other apps likewise).
or you could try a reflash of the rom?

Horrible battery caused by facebook

I have no idea what's going on, and its extremely aggravating. I never use Facebook other than for when notifications show up, each of then pictures are taken of stats on a brand new s3 with a brand new AOKP ROM, and I have not even opened Facebook after a full battery charge and a reboot, and it still demolishes my battery.

Try it the old fashioned way
Delete Facebook and reinstall it. I had the same problem with Google Maps once and it worked that way.
Reinstalled and same behavior.
I even force stopped the app out of curiosity, and its still draining, even tho its still stopped

If he uses Greenifiy he won't receive any notifications from Facebook because the App will be hibernated.
That's right, Facebook will only sync when you open it, this is what fast Facebook does (which is very popular as it's a lightweight ver different version). Facebook is a big hogger but if you want instant updates, guess you'll have to put up with it. You could try clearing data, running sdmaid on a regular basis and clearing Facebook files, that might help.

Unknown wakelock, GNexus

Hello all,
After searching Google for a long time and do plenty of research here and in other forums, I do not really know now what to do with my Galaxy Nexus... It is frustrating to me not knowing what keeps my phone awake.
I have BBS installed and looked after partial wakelocks but can't find anything unnormal. Only when I go to Kernel Wakelocks I can see "PowerManagerService.WakeLocks" is really high. (1h 16m at current). The highest entry in Partial Wakelocks is "ConnectivityService" with 4m 43s.
I tried to disable the Wifi location, disable everything in Android Device Manager... But it didn't help. I really can't reproduce it because I don't know what is going on.
The only thing I remeber I was doing before I noticed the wakelock was trying to open Google+ App and Youtube App without internet connection.
It would be great if you can help me find out, what's going wrong here...
Thank you!
