[Q] Sudden change in Battery and Suspicious App? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello, all, since I've had my Note 2 I've been incredibly impressed with the battery live, much better than other droids I've owned. Within the last two weeks or so, however, I've seen a dramatic drop in battery life. Where I used to be able to last a day and a half without charging, The phone is now not capable of lasting through the day. There hasn't been any real change in my usage patterns, but I am constantly trying new apps, so I figured that one of the new ones must be the culprit. The stock battery stats indicated that Android System was consuming about 41 percent of the battery, which based on previous readings and having owned other droids seemed much too high. I downloaded Battery Stats Plus, which indicated hat the rogue app was wssyncmldm, consuming that same 41 percent. I wasn't familiar with this app, but google revealed that it manages ota updates? I tried rebooting the phone, and went back to Battery Stats Plus, which now indicated that same 41 percent, but named the app "Factory Test." I let the phone charge overnight to a full 100, then checking again today, I'm seeing similar numbers. Today Factory Test is listed at about 33 percent. Both apps are active in application manager, and reappear as soon as I force close them. Neither can be disabled on my stock, non-rooted note 2. I've not tried the factory reset just yet, was hoping to avoid that, but wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Thanks so much, all!!!

I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I'll do my best.
Let's start with the obvious things
1. Try uninstalling any apps that you recently installed
2. In application manager go under all and look for the "wssyncmldm" culprit. I don't have it in my application manager but I have one that is very close in name
3. Have you recently installed any OTAs?
4. Are you rooted by any chance?
5. When I updated to the 4.1.2 update, I had a similar battery issue. I just ended up backing up all my apps with "Helium" (No root required if you plug it into a pc with some directions) and just did a factory in settings. It fixed the battery issue for me, though I never looked into it to see if it was this same culprit.
I hope I can help in some way, I'll try my best though!

Welcome to 4.1.2.. Went from 30 hours to 15....tempted to install a backup of 4.1.1 to see if it comes back. Bad news is 4.2.2 seems worse on battery until you change kernel. I've done it in og DROID but scared to on my note.

Well every single one I have used, and I've flashed em all, are excellent. Don't be scared to flash em, the worst that can happen is you'll have a bootloop and you can restore your nandroid. They offer amazing features, some more so than others, and can make your phone run super fast with excellent battery life.

[Q] I need some serious help with my battery.

I'm currently running Kenneth's latest Alien ROM and I get a battery life of about 6 hours. I've tried letting the battery die out , fully charging, then doing a battery wipe. Also tried Jug's fix. All they seem to fix is a battery jump issue but I wish that was all it was. Any other things that might help? I really don't have the money for a new battery.

To the op:
I'm actually not having this problem... Getting great battery life. I get like 8 hours of talk time, 6+ hours of web browsing or days of standby. Have to charge like every other day. Running Alien 3. That's not too helpful I guess, but know that it may be some weird configuration you have.

Thanks xploited. I'll give that a shot. the weird thing now is that I get 100% and 4200mV in the battery calibration app. It doesn't make sense. It's apparently fully charged but as of now it's dropped about 10% in about 20 minutes.

Sounds like your battery may just have a problem. Do you know anyone else w/an Atrix that you could swap batteries for like an hour and see if the problem follows the battery?
@epoh The only other person I know that has one lives about 2.5 hours away lol.
It kinda makes me curious if an SBF flash back to 1.83 would fix it. I only had this issue after flashing HKTW on a low battery.

Have you tried AURA 1.1.1 ROM?
I don't know if you even want to give any other ROM a shot, but I have used Alien ROM # 2, too many issues and was not patient enough.
Flashed AURA 1.1.1, after that 2 issues with my battery are fixed, one is the battery life, I usually get around 15 hours from fully charged at 8 AM when I leave for work, so I usually charge just once a day. Second issue with Alien was my phone was overheating like a frying pan.
It just happened with any other ROMs I have tried so far but with AURA maximum temp I have seen on my phone is not more than 38 Degree C. With other ROMS it was just above 38 all the time.
If you don't mind flashing different ROM, try it.
Basically what I do is load into CMW
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Cache
Wipe Data
Install ZIP
Reload Phone and use it for a bit
Process the battery stats wipe cycle twice
Battery is just normal now
Good Luck
It seems to me to be obvious issues with GB right now..which is disappointing because I was expecting it to get better. I went from 16+ hours of usage (with 2-4hrs of onscreen time) to about 8-10. I've went from Orange 2.3.4 to CherriPi now to Alien #3 with both the 1.1 o/c kernel as well as the stock kernel..with no improvements. I did notice a slight improvement when I turned the Social Applications from Push to 60mins..but still am nowhere near where I was with Froyo (yes..I've tried xploited's tips as well). I know its not my apps or configurations because none of that has changes since 2.2..

If you want people to help, you need to be more specific.
What exactly have you tried and what results did you get?
I guess I'll give Aura a shot. KP has some great concepts but I only have the battery issues on his ROM.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Can I ask real quick some questions? First off what do you have running as far as processes, cause for instance if Tune in Radio is left on running in background it KILLS my battery life. If I forget to exit it. Also, did you freeze any bloatware that alien didn't? example. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459 Also, what kernel are you using? Are you overclocking? Over / undervolting? Just trying to get a better idea of what's up unless I missed it in a previous post. But I think I read em' all.
@phalanx I haven't frozen anything. I'm using the last Alien full build including kernel. The only apps I have installed are facebook, google+, and XDA premium app. The thing that is supposedly killing my battery is phone idle. It's doing slightly better today than it has been. It says it's got about 10 hours so far. But it's still nowhere near the 12-16 I used get.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
did you flash the GB radio as well?
it you're still using the froyo radio that is known to cause terrible battery if paired with GB ROM
Yes I do have the GB radio. I believe it's version. 1.77.15* don't know the whole number.
Edit: I meant to say 1.77.30

Is my battery life normal?

I installed ICS did a wipe as this is supposed to improve things but battery life is awful. I only get about 9hrs with moderate use, I took it of the charger at 6am this morning, Had to put it back on around lunchtime and now at 8pm its at 20% and this is with battery saving on.

Try RootBox with Dark Knight.. best combo for me.. you'll easily double your battery life
Another option is Slim ICS, very lightweight and battery friendly. Try some of the suggestions, each for a few days to allow for a couple of full battery cycles to take place. You can then make an informed decision about your daily ROM choice.

OK last night I let the phone go flat, removed the battery, put it back in and charged it when off. Phone has now just turned off flat.
Off charger at 9am this morning
Through out the day checked twitter a couple of times amounting to about 3 mins total.
Synced email 3 times.
Made a 2 min phone call
Used 3G for about 4 mins
Flashed back to GB via Odin.
Its now 6.30pm, phone turned off at 6pm, now today was actually very light use and I got 9 hrs before it died, On my old 4s with this type of use i'd still be at least 70% full.
...
A few tips and tricks Ive found....
- When you install a new ROM, go into recovery (Home, Vol Up, Pwr) Clear Data/ Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot.. In that order.
- When you first set up WiFi on your phone, Dont install Apps you dont use from Google Play, as these can run in the background.. using battery life.. Just because Google Recommend them for your phone, donesnt mean you have to install them.
- Dont be tempted to register every single email address you have to Social Hub.
- If your a "update over WiFi" person, set phone to "GSM only", instead of "WCDMA/GSM Auto", also turn off "Mobile Data" in Settings..
- If your not running twitter, email checks, updating weather all day, turn off "Account Sync" in Settings and set your email accounts to "Never" check for emails.
- Try switching to a different launcher. Touchwiz 4 is very resource intensive, try moving to Go Launcher or ADW or another one.. theres loads of advice on here and the webn about launchers, but for me Personnally, I like Go, but thats me.
2 Im not sure about, so some more in the know people here can advise please:
- In Settings > Display check ON, Auto Adjust Screen Power, but Im not convinced about "Auto Brightness, as I think it needs to constantly keep scanning the sensor, but I could be wrong.
- Turn Off "Motion" may also help with battery life.
Ive tended to go back to GB236, but the latest 404 boasts better battery life, so like everyone advises, you just have to test new ways.
Good Luck
that's what I usually get out of my S2.
I think my old battery must of been dodgy. I bought one of them Samsung extended 2000 mAh batteries and its been excellent. I've been playing with the phone all day, I took it of charger at 7am, its now 7pm and its 65% left, That could easily do another day with light to moderate use.

Battery Life

I don't understand why I'm getting such awful battery life; I've heard such good things about AOSP as far as battery life is concerned. I've got screen on auto, and I used incredicontrol to set my governor (I think that's what it is called) to conservative. Can anyone help me dissect the problem?

How long was your screen on? If 1.5 hours or so, I would say your close to normal depending on what you were doing.
Get Better Battery Stats and see how long your phone is in Deep Sleep..and if not very long, you can see what is keeping it awake..
I didn't use it at all; I checked it after first block and it had lost about 10 percent. Then I checked it after second and that's what it was at

Your pic says the screen took 44% of the power. Consider the signal strength in your school. If you have a weak signal the phone uses more power. Maybe try airplane mode for part of the day. Also, I have found I get better battery life on the network as opposed to my school's wireless. The school's wireless is always polling the phone resulting in greater drain.
Here's the link to Better Battery Stats on XDA... FREE XDA versions are found at the bottom of post #2. I/We don't have your phone so other than general statements we are of little help. Get BBS and see what is using the juice...that's how I found out the school's wireless was waking my phone all the time.

well from what i see you have google now or some transit app running. those tend to take up a ton of battery. use the bettery battery stats that someone posted and see whats running. once you find out you can use an app like autostarts to keep stuff like that not running when it doesnt need to.
Also another way to tell whats running is to go to settings > apps > running. if you see a process you dont like running just kill it and try to stop it with autostarts. I know from experience that facebook is one of these pain in the a$$ apps that always wants to be running for some god forsaken reason. Anyway just start with that. thats probably your main problem as i can also see you have juice defender, which is probably helping battery.
There wasn't a download for it; only someone's text information. Does anyone have an APK for it? I don't have the money for it Before school starts tomorrow I'll be sure to kill running apps. Also, I wasn't on the school's Wi-Fi at any point because we don't have Wi-Fi, my high school is poor. Lol

autostart app won't run in foreground so you don't have to kill it. it'll stop access as it needs to based on what you disabled from automatically starting. be careful what you prevent from starting up cause it can defect your setup requiring a fresh flash install
This is my battery life just a few minutes before I posted it yesterday; I took it off the charger at the same time. For some reason yesterday the android system ran much longer than today; the difference is obvious on my battery life.

A good thing to do would be, charge it Friday night, take it off the charger Saturday morning and let it sit on the counter of 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, then check to see what has been waking it up. You can google what you find to determine what process they're related to if not obvious to you.

No, you're doing it wrong.

Obvious total noob here. I've read all the thunderbolt reference material here and have followed a couple of tutorials on how to root my thunderbolt, but I keep finding broken mirrors. I just keep finding dead ends. Can someone point me to a current root method for this device. My goal is to try the leaked ICS rom. Thanks.
The closest I got was with revolution.
It did see my device and I was on the last step but it seemed like my rom was not compatible. There was a nice video and followed all the steps.

Welcome to the rooted club! I just joined this week myself.
I hadn't seen the all in one tool but I think I'll snag it. Revolutionary worked great for me. The only thing I had to do was temp root since I was running the .19 ROM. It was smooth sailing after that.
I'm running SkyRaider 1.3 now. I'll probably flash to ICS next month after playing with SR for a bit.
What has SR been like for you?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
So far I'm digging it. It's been considerably faster and seemingly more reliable than stock. The past two years have been hateful and I wish I would have rooted a long time ago.
I'm still trying to figure out what things have changed (like what new options I have and where to find some things) but it's been a fairly easy ride. I did have to flash twice to get it to work but now it seems to be solid.

Sounds like a battery. I typically charge overnight and I'm good from about 7-4. Then I charge on the 30 min drive home and I'm good until the nightly charge. I've never seen exceptional battery life even with JuiceDefender. Right now it's bad but not quite like yours. I was on a third-party battery, though. I just swapped to the HTC battery and I'll see how it is. I think I'm going to turn JD off as well to see how SkyRaider managers on its own.

This was typical for me.
I recommend turning off 4G. It's not really useful anyways unless you're trying to download something. Calibrate the battery also. Turn down your screen brightness and backlight timing. Also adjust how often accounts sync. Slow your CPU speeds.
You should be set after that.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Yeah, I only use 4G if I'm doing file transfers or tethering. I need to look at underclocking. How often do you sync? I have a number of accounts that I check every 15 min. I could probably increase that to 30.

I increase mine to 4 hours.
Some of these are apps you can change within the apps settings, such as Facebook. I usually sign on before it syncs anyways.
Definitely checks your social apps and change the update intervals. It's basically the same thing.

I unplugged at 7:30 and it's almost 4pm now. On 3G with some forum browsing and regular email checking I'm at 38%. So if you were dropping to 14% I'd definitely try a new battery. This is with JuiceDefender disabled as well.
7:25pm Update
I finally hit 14% 12 hours after disconnecting from the AC charger. I guess that's not too bad.

You need to realize the stock battery is only 1450. So very small for a 4g phone. I have found juice defender only made my wallet lighter. You might want to look in to an aosp ROM as it gives you better battery life. I personally disable auto sync and turn off GPS. Also while I am at work I disable data as SMS and MMS doesn't come over mobile data part. In the end some people carries more than one battery on them if they won't be in a place they can charge.

Under bbs I get connectivity service with high wakelocks and under usage I get android system at 60%+. Running stock debloated and deodexed with unsecure kernel. Anyone else with the issue ?

Mines at 46% so not sure what your phones doing. As you multitasking on it? This makes the cpu work harder so it consumes more battery. Also could be your brightness effecting it. The DNA has the most powerful screen for android so with that it uses a lot more power to keep it lit. Keep it on low brightness (~25%) and see if this drops the percentage of your usage.

Mines 20% so I don't know what's wrong with yours

Sounds like something is wrong. It's always hard pinpointing it when it just says android system. If it were me I would just backup anything essential with tibu and wipe. I've had phones do that before and wiping data fixed it.

It was just wiped and returned to a debloated stock. Down to 43% now. I've been on it a lot tonight. But still, screen should be at the top. I will keep an eye on it the rest of the night and see what I can do to get it back down. I'm trying not to have to wipe as I just got it redone. Battery stats maybe?

I think display is included under android system because mine doesn't show display like it did on my dinc2

That"s alot.
It looks like android system includes all major functions as well as screen. Makes sense I suppose.

Mine started doing this today too. For the past few days I never saw it above 40%, usually always 20% or lower. Today it's at 60% and up for no reason. I don't think I've done anything to it that I can remember. No new app installs or anything.
Have you tried factory reset or stats reset to pin point the problem? I'm guessing that is a rogue app running in the background.
