I am creating this new thread because I haven't seen anything similar for the SGS II.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment when this started (before I rooted the phone), but my screen started turning on and off on its own.
Note that it is only the screen turning on/off, not the phone.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Any suspicion on the applications you have installed that may lead to this issue, third-party IM running in the background maybe; Skype, eBuddy, etc.
lol root whould have nothing to do with random reboots. What tweaks youve done since rooting might be the issue or maybe a rouge app.
The "rooting" part was just in case anybody asked
Yes, I installed Skype, but the anomaly started quite a bit after. No tweaks, couple of programs that shouldn't affect anything. The thing is that it does pretty often for two hours and then stops
I will report later when I will have more time to observe the pattern.
Have you opened vlingo voice control app? My phone started flipping out after running that app once. It messed with my screen and gps.

Well I don't have Vlingo, but the default program that comes with the phone (Voice talk, Voice command).....yes! That could be it. It did start around the time I was messing around with it (I still haven't tried the GPS).
Do you still have the problem or did you solve it?
I opened it to trying to find name of app, and all of a sudden my gps turned on and screen lite up.
I am wondering why in better battery stats it tells me this is the thing that wakes my phone up 50% of the time. I don't have facebook accounts or anything really that would update automatically. Im trying to figure out how I can see what is causing this to run so often and wake my phone up. Any help?
Does anyone know how to make the phone stop waking up so often?
I understand all these battery drain issues that the prime has been having but haven't actually had them, until now. I used to lose about 2-3% overnight but suddenly I am losing around 15% because it won't sleep. I go into the battery setting and it shows it been awake the whole time. Now I am sure if I looked around I may find a fix but it just seems a bit odd that it has just suddenly occurred. And its not a wifi drainage issue as I usually put it to sleep at power saving mode and wifi off. Just asking why?
Thanks,
I think it could be the Asus weather widget which I had set at 1 hour refresh rate.
if this just recently occured out the blue, likely a rougue app or something you recently installed. an app running in background or sync is likely the culprit.
Just put Skype on it but that's not signed in most of the time
every android tablet and phone i have does this occasionally, and those occasions are when i either play video or music. some of these media players employ a wakelock that will not disable after you put your device to sleep. sometimes a reboot will work, sometimes not. most of the times the reboot keeps it from draining. even force quitting all my media apps wouldn't work.
so basically i reboot every time i use any type media player so i don't get the drain - netflix doesn't require it, dice and just about every music player does. i'm not sure it this may be your problem, but it may be a possible solution.
I find that making sure to check the last two settings under Asus Customized Settings helps this. I was waking up in the morning to find my dock dead everyday before I checked those two settings. The only down side is when I turn the screen on and wake it up, it takes about 5-10 seconds to connect to the wifi. No biggie.
Use better battery stats and see what is causing it. I have read that skype does drain battery pretty bad. And even if you're not connected it still runs in the background at start up. Another app I would recommend is Autostarts. It allows you to disable apps at start up. I know system tuner is free and has the same functionality but I find Autostarts better. With ST, you just disable the app at start up, with Autostarts you can disable it at start up, shutdown(which some apps fire when the tab is being shut down and other system events), also other events. Like some apps fire up when you get a text, or when your connection changes etc.. I just think Autostarts has more options.
Also dev Entropy has a thread in the GS2 forums about know battery drainers. Some of it applies specifically to the GS2 but there are a bunch of general battery killers listed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
If you go to setting and battery it should show you which is using the most battery. The first one on top. If its android system, you can click on it and it will show you a list of whats been using your battery which may point you to the culprit. In my case, media was the only thing in the list. And I know if an SDcard is inside my dock it will drain battery. So after removing it the drainage went away. Havent had the drain issue since. Again yours might be different so check the battery usage.
Thanks for the feedback guys, the first thing i am gonna do is charge it up after it fell flat right up to 100% then try some suggestions. I am thinking a reboot could help it.
as the title says im having trouble with battery drain due to AudioOut_2 wakelocks but im not sure if this is really whats causing my drain. il upload my logs from betterbatterystats since im not an expert on really understanding the logs it generates. hope somebody can give me a clear explanation on my problem. because im getting paranoid over this. lol

Do you have touch sounds enabled? I noticed when I have them enabled I get more of an audioout wake lock. I also get it while I play music on my phone.

Yes i have it enabled. in fact all the sound settings i have under settings-sound-system are all enabled. il try disabling them all. its just so weird why its having sound wakelocks even if the phone is not being used or the screen off. thanks for your reply.

Im aware your using checkrom from your signature but its on jb..i am running omega 27.1 JB..on the nexus 7 forums some guys are having the same problem too..is it because we are all running JB?

same problem here using omega 27 with all system sounds off
Anyone track down a solution to this yet?
seems to be a jb thing and I spent a bit of time trying to pin down what caused it, but each time I drew a blank, but I got rid of it.....and I have kept my eyes open but I remember GM starting in his kernel thread that even he couldn't pin down what it was.
Apologies for not having a solution, but you can get rid of it

that's the thing.....I'm really not sure at all, something in my set up, something I froze with titanium, some sound setting, I really don't know,, I don't use haptic or touch sounds, so that might be linked, but beating in mind if I had tried one thing at a time, then used bbs and let it idle for two hours each time I tried something,I would be at it forever,
I'm dual booting slim and wanamlite, so even more complicated
Sorry to be so vague but I really can't pin it down!

From my testing with my stock rom and communicating with the Dev from Better Battery Stats a month ago or so, I don't believe the statistic AudioOut_1 or AudioOut_2 is the cause for any battery drain. (at least not for me) You see them listed under Partial Wakelocks but the "count" increases every time certain UI sounds are triggered even with the screen ON! So it's a bit misleading...because the OS implies that the counts are increasing during standby.....hence the term Partial Wakelock.
And YES...by disabling Keytones and Touch Sounds etc., the statistic is eliminated and BBS will not show an increase. So basically...I IGNORE THIS STATISTIC...and keep my sounds turned ON!
As a test, I suggest you to disable this feature of the phone (go to Settings - Manage Applications and disavle apps Google Text to Speech and Samsung TTS).

See I would agree with you but when you turn and disable everything you have to your phone should be allowed to enter deep sleep. under the partial wakelock the audioOut_2 is the only thing not allowing it to enter thus if you look at all the all the apps you have running and some apps run like the sound is on even with the screen off. My problem was puzzle and dragons would run the sound and drain my battery and when i exit it the audio problem stops. So to answer your question tony just empty your running apps when you get ready to turn your screen off and see if that helps.

Same for me. Normally my tablet eats 1 percent of battery max for a screen off hour. Today, I restarted, done a backup, booted the system and then I turned the screen off and went about my bussiness. Now, according to BBS, I have 3,5 percent down per hour. And the only "huge" wakelock is Audioout_2.

Same problem here on my note 2... last night before sleep time i killed all apps by holding down the home button.BBS clearly showed audio_out2 as the one which has the partial wakelocks... sigh... no solution yet?
on a side note in sound settings im not using sound and vibration. just keyones. screen lock sound and haptic fb.
Same problem here
All touchsounds disabled and AudioOut_2 did not stop to drain my battery. Maybe it's time to switch to BlackBerry Z10.
for those who are having problems with phone not going to sleep, just go to settings - manage apps - and disable the Samsung TTS app (or freeze it with Titanium Backup). At least this fixed the problem here.

Hi, I've been using Greenify for quite a while, and love it. However, recently my Note 4 has been turning on by itself with a dim display, closings apps and shutting off again. I believe that is the process to shut off apps after you've shut the phone off for a few minutes, but mine is doing it at random times, and because it is dim I can't particularly see the first app each time it is shutting off.
I keep a list of every app I install and changes I make to the system, because I have run into problems with installed apps before, so now I reverse uninstalled all apps that I recently installed, and it is still doing the same thing! Is there some way/some app for me to tell what is causing it to turn on and shut down apps over and over? I really like Greenify, and I know it's not taking a lot of juice to turn on and do the close thing, but it is irritating every time I hear it turn on, make the popping sound to close apps, and shuts off again. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks,
First check that exposed is fine and clear. If is all cool, than it's greenify beta version. Probably.
Hi, I'm not running Xposed Framework, just the "Automated hibernation". I have Lollipop version 5 on my phone.

If you are unrooted, that is the normal behaviour when an app you chose for hibernation, wakes up the device. With root, the screen will not light up but still the other actions will go on.
Earlier in non-root mode, the screen would light up bright. After people complained, the Dev has dimmed the screen. I don't think it is possible to hibernate without lighting up the screen.
You can disable the sounds so that it doesn't irritate you much.

Thanks for the thorough answer. And yes, I am not rooted. The odd part to me though is that it wasn't happening until about a week ago, and then it started. I've tried to retrace all my steps to see what I've installed since then, changed, etc. but reversing all these activities still does not cause it to stop starting up like it is doing now. Do you know of any app or some way I could see what is causing it to wake up so that Grennify needs to keep shutting it down? I would really appreciate it!

Have you hibernated any system app (I think not, without root)? If so, a background update might have changed its behaviour.
If you can, backup all third party apps and then uninstall them and see whether your problem is solved. If not, it is a system app which causes it. See for which system apps you can roll back the update and then roll them back one by one and check.
I have no idea about any app which shows you what is waking up the device at any particular point.

This is happening to me also after installing latest beta 3 update. It is accompanied by 2 toast messages saying greenify has been granted root, and a long list of all apps that were put into hibernation. Seems to only happen when phone is plugged in to USB or outlet.
I am rooted running lite rom and cataclysm mod. I do not have xposed installed.
I uninstalled beta version, opted out and reinstalled standard release and it hasn't happened since.
Don't update the greenify.

Figured out what was causing mine to continue to turn on over and over. It was Google Fit. I uninstalled apps that I have installed recently (I keep a list of every app I install), and once Google Fit was removed, the Greenify turning on the phone and shutting it down stopped! FYI for others with this problem.
Thanks,
Dave

i don't have google fit installed and i was having the issue.
i downgraded to 2.7 (non beta) and greenify works correctly.
-i still have trouble with random reboots when all xposed features are enabled. haven't taken the time to narrow down which feature is causing this
I don't see HOW to turn sounds off, the popping IS annoying.
I have an unrooted S3 Galaxy Thanks!

I have a similar problem. When Greenify locks the screen on my LG G4 I cannot open screen with a double tap, like I was able to in the past, I have to push the power button to be able to use my phone. I have Android 6.0, Greenify 4.1, non-rooted. Tried disabling Auto hibernation for manual, same problem. Have donation package (But can't find icon) . Love Greenify, used to work great but have to fix this problem. Please help.
