Hi guys. I've opened this thread because I have a serious problem: deep sleep is not working on my HTC EVO 3D, the GSM version. I've tried many things, from changing roms to wiping data but nothing works. I'm asking you if you could help me and the other users who have this problem resolve this once and for all.

So, here's my problem. After I unplug my phone from charging, deep sleep stops working. I've done many tests to prove this, so, I'm certainly sure that this is the problem that causes my battery to drain. But, after I reboot my phone, it suddenly starts behaving as normal. What causes it to malfunction? I'm using KingCobra 2.2 with Anryl 10.07 kernel on a GSM HTC EVO 3D. I also had this problem on LeeDroid 5.3 and 5.4 with LeeDroid kernels 5.3.8 and 5.4. Please help!!! This thing is driving me mad.

Might not be a ROM/Kernel issue, maybe an app is causing this....

I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll do a factory reset or change the radio.
Try removing any apps that have advertisements, or apps you don't need.

Is not risky to change the radio?

I think not. I have s-off and root. But I won't change it. I've already done a factory reset so we should see the results in a day.

Hope that one of the 3 apps isnt the cause.....Also Check if the "Up time" and "Awake time" are same or not. Check only when the screen will be off for a few hours.......not if you are using it every few mins.

So far, so good. Deep sleep works, as system tuner says. I will charge it tomorrow and after I unplug it I will reset the system tuner stats and see what it says.
try betterbatterystats app.. it show you whats keeping your phone awake.. works real well.. u can get it for free on here..
Finished charging and I've removed it. deep sleep doesn't work!

I am 90% sure it is one of the app that you install in every ROM. Maybe some kind of monitor that keeps checking something.
And Do you keep your data always on? Your phone might be trying to sync in every few hours/mins.

I'm not sure, but it might be system tuner. Anyway, I've reinstalled my phone with ROMeOS and I won't be using system tuner anymore. I'll keep this topic updated.
Hey there, i have the same problem! It also indicated as "android is" as battery sucker when u think phone is in deep sleep android os still consumes battery and u have no deep sleep! After reboot, it is ok!
So if u have a solution please share it!!
Thanks

The best thing to do is to make a factory reset. Drain the battery to around 13 percent and then plug it in. When it reaches 100% remove it and leave it for around 10-20 minutes. After that wake your phone up and if the battery is still 100 or 99% the problem is gone and it was an app that was causing the problem. Just MAKE SURE YOU DON'T INSTALL ANY APPS FROM THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE OR FROM YOUR SD CARD. ESPECIALLY SYSTEM MONITORS. MAYBE THEY SOMEHOW CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I hope this helps.
Hi, Thanks
but this is not the solution i want ;-)
i am too lazy to make a factory reset and then install one app after another and check if it still got the problem.
(the easiest way ist with CPU-Spy - there u can watch how long it was in deep sleep)
so if anyone gut the solution without factory reset or a way to check which app causes how many percent of "android os"
please tell me / us
thanks

I'm not saying that you should install all apps one by one. I'm just saying that you should try the thing I mentioned above just to see if an app is causing the problem. Anyway, yesterday that problem occured to me once again. Now I'm really confused.

Flashed over to CM10 today. I had to flash the kernel manually through fastboot. This is not normal.
It was off the charger from a full 100% to 42% in only two hours?? I haven't been using my phone to watch videos or listen to media either. it was just casual texting. The brightness is dimmed as well with the screen sleeping at 5 sec. Any idea with a fix?
Yep, you've got a wakelock

i generally start, to get a high level view and without adding any 3rd party apps, under settings and battery status. there is a decent graph and list of apps running on the phone. i'd start there and see what is going on.
generally, if you're on the same cm10 as everybody else and nobody else is experiencing the issue, then i'd be in inclined to lean towards a 3rd party app causing the issue.
as is normal with these types of bugs, it could be quick or it might take some time to narrow down the issue ... many variables involved. best approach, as suggested above is to start analyzing battery usage, which is closely tied to how often and long applications are running.
feel free to post up some details around your research and we can help provide feedback/suggestions.
hope that helps!
I have run into a few wakelocks with cm10 as well. Another thing you can try to do is analyze the alarms within terminal emulator. Launch terminal emulator > su > dumpsys alarm. Scroll to the bottom and see if anything jumps out at you in terms of holding a wakelock.

I used GSAM and it said I had a wakelock but never pointed to where..i rebooted the phone and let it charge over night.. if it happens again today i'll look further into it. I used the stock battery app and seen mediaserver was the main culprit but after doing some research it can be a numerous number of apps..so i looked at GSAM like suggested but it didn't specify. I'll update later with any definite results..im sure im not the only one with the issue.

Another app that I have found useful is "autostarts". It allows you to limit what apps startup at various times (i.e. startup, charging, etc.). I disabled a lot of autostarts for programs like "maps" and it seems to have prevented some of the battery drain that was occuring to me. Good luck.

I have CM10 M1 and mine has not been draining that fast, but seems to be going down quicker than usual. My phone was kind of warm today as well. Samsung specs of the phone state like 10 days of stand by time so it should be lasting a LOT longer.

It does if you just check the stats for longest wake or something like that, quite accurate

You just have to find which apps are causing them and either play with the settings to try and prevent it or uninstall/freeze them. I get some pretty bad wakelocks on cmx also...I use BBS to monitor what's causing them.

Force close the apps but most of the time they do come back, freeze them in titanium, uninstall them, or if you can, adjust any settings that could affect wake lock I.e. maps, there's an option to allow it to randomly update your relative position to acquire faster lock, this can be turned off

No more wake locks. I guess 17 hours without a charge and still at 35 percent is a battery increase from touchwiz. I think heck yes!

Hi, we already got a battery meter in android 4.2.2, and it can tell if something is keeping the phone awake.
For example, it shows that the "Android OS" is keep the system awake for 10 hours, but it can not tell me which app is holding some wake locks or wakes the phone frequently.
I also installed BetterBatteryStats, under Kernel Wakelock, it shows that the gps_lock is holding for 10 hours, but also not related to any app.
So how can I identify the app that I can blame for this?
Thank you.

Actually I want to keep google location reporting. The problem does not occur very much, but it can kill my phone for just half day.
To some degree I believe that google's engineers are smart enough to avoid these kind of problems, so the culprit must be some app else.
And I really don't want to uninstall each app and see if the problem disappears, since the problem is not very common and may not be reproduced immediately.
A knowledgeable tool will be great if any such tool exists.
Usually partial wakelocks and alarms sections of BBS are more useful. Any gps-related apps causing either of those?

My phone is not rooted, Alarms section shows nothing.
Almost every time when a kernel wakelock (not just gps) is being held, partial wakelock shows nothing unusual. For this time the top one in partial wakelock is google map or google location service (I don't remember exactly), but it only held for several minutes (compare to 10 hours of kernel wake lock holding).
I don't know if rooting my phone will make any difference.

there is no problem with google play services, the phone app stays awake all time, even i dont use it,, the device dont get to deep sleep because of that ?
Any help ?
The mobile data and screen brightness are the biggest drainer of battery life by a mile.
I would only turn the brightness up on my phone when i use it then turn it down later.
You can restrict background data, this one is the holy grail in battery conservation. Unless you specify otherwise a lot of the apps that you have on your phone like Facebook Twitter and many many more will constantly try to connect to their servers to look if there is anything new to report. To do this hit you settings, Connections, Data usage, menu, then put a tick in Restrict background data to force your phone to stop syncing continuously.
:good:

I suggest you to install one or both of below free apps to monitor what is draining the battery:
- Battery Doctor(Battery Saver)
- GSam Battery Monitor
With the first one you can also set the option 'CPU Management=YES' so the phone can deep sleep
One the app is identify you can hibernate it to avoid running in background with the app 'Greenify'
Thanks.

Strange, maybe and issue with that specific S3 model.
I have tested CM, Slimkat, C-ROM, Carbon, Omegarom on S3 GT-I9300 and I haven´t had that issue,
battery life is better than the stock rom.
Maybe you can try to run a cleaning kernel script before flashing if not done yet.
Use the betterbatterystats app i mentioned before to find out whats causing the phone app to stay awake.
Its all good to say the phone app is keeping it awake but you need to find the trigger or service that is doing so. The screen shots you are providing are basic and do not provide this, you need a log from this app.
Hi there. I have a Galaxy S 2 i9100 and its battery drains very fast even when on screen off and - theoretically - idle. I have taken the attached screenshots on GSAM Battery Stats to help me out finding out why it drains so fast, but honestly, I can't quite understand how the kernel or system OS drains it so much when not on. The graph shot also shows the phone considers itself "active" even when screen is off and I'm not using it. How can I know what uses the phone so much, and how to avoid it from doing so?
Thanks in advance!!!

Here is an article on wakelocks from XDA. You might find it interesting.
As to the wakelocks that are keeping your device awake, I'm not familiar with the app you are using. I use Better Battery Stats. You can find a free version here on XDA if you want to check it out. You need to check "kernel wakelocks" and "partial wakelocks" to find the problem app(s).

Hi noppy, thanks for your reply.
I installed the app you mentioned, but I am not sure if I have to wait more time or if the app works in a different way of the other battery stats apps I have used so far.
When I open it, it shows an yellow line saying "no stats have been collected yet".
If I open the graph option, I can see wakelocks are incredibly constant (I have attached the screenshots). I don't know how to work on that...
@ghnogueira
Have you got root access? Did you install BBS as a system app when you first opened the app, then reboot? This is the normal setup for me. Once you have rebooted the device, BBS will start collecting data and then reset every time you interupt the discharge cycle(eg. by plugging in to recharge or to a pc).
But you will need root access for the app to find the issues.

I used to have that app installed, and it is the "kernel" or "android system" that keeps it awake. But my real doubt is what can I do to stop that from happening? What is within my hands?
