Msm_hsic_host wakelock - AT&T LG Optimus G

This wakelock is the bane of my existence. It follows me regardless OF whatever ROM or kernel I try. I've read all the threads I can find on it and it seems to be a problem with the Nexus 4 also. Franco's kernel seems to have resolved the issue. I know most of our kernels are based off of Faux's. So my question is a multi parter. Has Faux implemented the fix in his kernel as well? Is there something specific to the E970 that causes this? Or, is there something I'm doing wrong? Disabling background data, using Greenify , freezing apps, etc etc, have had no success for me.

That bug was resolved last year. It shouldn't apply to aosp roms built recently with the att JB radio or the hybrid modems by morrislee

Ahhhh. I guess I ruled out "figment of my imagination" too quickly in the troubleshooting process.

I still see it as a pretty aggressive wake lock. If memory serves, it used to be worse though. This is on 9/23 pacman. Minimal use today, mostly in LTE coverage.

Just want to say that I've always seen this wakelock too. I'm running houstonn's 9/24 Carbon ROM with included kernel, but was also seeing it on CM 10.2.

My understanding of this is that the HSIC is the interface to many of the phone's sensors and other devices. The kernel interface implements those wakelocks for their operation, and different kernels seem to use them more than others, as we have probably all experienced. I've only used the stock ICS and JB kernels and I get fewer of these now on JB than I did on ICS for example, without changing anything else.
Ultimately though it depends on the apps you use and their use of the hardware features of the phone. The more they use those devices, the more of these wakelocks we'll see, and we can't get rid of them entirely.
