Well, I have my device running for 2days already with no reboot.
I charged it at night and have it running for 5 hours.
I did make 1:30 hours phone calls, a few internet and so, but its awake for the whole 5 hours which doesnt makes any sense..
The only reason I noticed it was how I lost 48% in 5hours.
I have almost nothing running in background, stock task manager shows only messages, gmail & Android market.
the "running" tab in Go launcher shows 250mb free out of 838mb total..
now after reboot its fine again, it goes to deep sleep (i checked with cpu spy)
but the problem is, how do i tell what was the cause for this mess?
BetterBatteryStats showed me that the phone was awake 100.0% of the time..
Check "partial wake locks" in the better battery stats app. Will give you info on what app or process time awake.

Well, in this menu there's nothing suspicious, the highest one takes 2-3mins with not too high count,
and the rest are for less than that & with low count as well.
So what else can I do to check it out?
If its not deep sleeping, what frequency is it stuck on when screen is off?
Is any data connection on, gps etc
There is also an app, "watchdog lite", may help alert you if there are amy rogue apps or processes (depending on config)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite
What is your current system setup and config?
Have you made any system changes or installation of apps or themes since it was working fine?
If still no good our out of ideas, Maybe reflash the kernel and no setcpu profiles, UC, OC etc. .......
or at worst full wipe and reflash the lot.

I will try Watchdog.
I have everything the same as before, nothing changed much.
The only serious thing I did in the past week was freezing 1-2 things with TB.
There was nothing running in the background such as download or similar
The freq. used on screen off was 200MHz
What was frozen, and how about unfreeze and test?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
It seems like it doesn't use deep sleep again. I didn't di anything serious since the last reboot.
The only things I froze are kies,system update...but I returned them back.
One thing I noticed but not sure if it was like that before or not, is that in the battery info, I have battery idle, operation time is as time from last charge and time without signal is 100%.
Also, when I look at the graph, awake and screen on are synchronized so im getting lost here.

My device is at 100% awake according to betterbatterystats but in watchdog I don't see anything suspicious.
What cab I do?
I removed most of the things I installed lately but it continues

As I said before;
Is any data connection on, gps etc ?
Also, do you have a strong signal, so its not constantly looking for a network or bouncing between 2g / 3g etc.
Put thephone into Flight Mode, so this eliminates connection to your network, wifi,.gps, etc.
If still no good our out of ideas, Maybe reflash the kernel and no setcpu profiles, UC, OC etc. .......
or at worst full wipe (factory data reset,.cache, dalvik etc in CWM and reflash the lot immediately after.
Don't forget to the md5 checksum to ensure your DLs are not corrupted and matching that of the Dev's original.

One member here found social hub was the cause of not deep sleeping. More than likely a config problem.
One of my suggestions was to put into flight mode and test.
Also you can use Droid Wall to block unwanted network connections.

Well, unfortunately I dont know whats the cause so I dont know how I can configure droid wall.
After 6 hours in night, I had the device for 15 mins awake with no explenation. Partial wakelocks shows the highest activity is *sync* with 1m18s, count:6. The highest count is like...200~, not too critical.
The device was in deep sleep for 6hours but 200mhz for 17mins, which is the time I have no explenation for. In bettery mode you can see that 15~ mins where its awake but screen off.
I have no explenation for this but also dont know what caused it.
The good thing is that I lost only 2% over night, so I cant be too worried about it..
So I still don't know what caused it to be 100% awake.
meanwhile, I have no OC, OV/UV, no setcpu settings at all.
Im on Cognition 1.51 & Speedmod T40. I dont have the Samsung Apps installed at all.
Much better

At the moment, yes
however, the issue wasnt found & solved yet, so I need to keep looking for it.
dunno what else to do, sadly..
Full wipe and reflash does not take a great deal of time, a lot less than troubleshooting in most cases.
Just backup your user apps and data with titanium before hand, and md5 checksum match.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
But if I backup all user apps and data, how will it help me ? Isn't one of them the cause for that ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Just in case. It may be rom our kernel
You always have the option to download fresh from market and just restore the data.
Edit: If it happens again;
Personally, I'd backup, full wipe, flash. Reboot after first boot, and before / after applying themes and after restoring.

Something strange happened to my phone. One night I installed an app that can turn the phone into sleep mode instead of pressing the button at the uppermost right of it. I still have around 70+% battery by that time. The next morning, I was surprised that my battery is already out. I charge it but was stuck at the cyanogen logo. I removed the battery and tried to open it, this time the animation boot happened twice before finishing. I removed the app but noticed that my battery begun draining much faster than before. Just letting it on idle state will reduce it to 40% in 9 hours. The bootup problem is also present every time I boot the phone - it will get stuck at first at the logo,remove the battery, turn it on again where the animation will happen twice before the phone become usable.
Checking the phone usage, mobile standby and phone idle have the largest usage. I read some threads mentioning something about wakelock or something that prevent the phone from going to sleep. Checking the Spare parts battery history, only two things are present - Running (100%) and Screeon on (5.1%).
Any help or tips to know the real problem? Thanks

this will happen when install every crappy tweak **** - i'm not understand why users have to install extra apps for buttons
to help you something:
wipe your system, not the data - only if it doesnt work after wiping the caches.
than try to boot ... if its doesnt nrmal booting, reinstall the rom and do a full wipe. sometimes apps installing libraries in system.
^
I was thinking of reducing the usage of the hard button so I used it. Will resintallation of the ROM afefct my partition? I have a nandbackup before this problem happened, but I still do not have the partition by that time.
And how do you do it by the way? Just flash again the ROM? Thanks
Edit: Wiping the cache seemed to help. It doesn't stuck at the logo, but the animation still happens twice instead of once. Gonna observe the battery usage. Thanks.
100% running, that means your phone is not in sleep, but only with LCD off. Grab betterbatterystats([email protected]) and check your wakelocks.

Based on the betterbatterystats, the gpslocationprovider is the culprit. But my gps apps are off and are not running any services. Any idea how can I stop it?

Off GPS ,on only when needed

I copid a gpa.conf somehere in this forum. I replaced it with the originial and I'm currently observing whether it will return to normal. My gps apps are off, and both wireless and gps sattelites are disabled on my location & security tabs.
I'm planning on doing a restore to at least remove the boot up problem. But my last nandbackup was still before I partitioned my sd card and flashed dark tremor, and configre a2sdgui. If I do the nandrestore, do I have to disable or remove dark tremor and a2sdgui, or remove the partition of my card? Thanks

I has the same gps wakelock even disabling GPS- reboot and the thing is gone
I changed it, but my phone still doesn't sleep. Although this time, the gpslocationprovider is no longer shown with the betterbatterystats. It just states that my phone is awake for around 47 minutes but my screen is just on for around 4 minutes. I've already rebooted several times and wipe the cache but its still like this. Still trying to find other ways.
Hello all! Ive been having a battery drain problem.
According to BetterBatteryStats it is a Partial Wake lock caused by WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed (Screenshots below). It is keeping my phone from entering Deep Sleep and this process or service is apart of the Android System and I'm reluctant to do anything about it since there is a risk of bricking my phone. I cannot find anything on this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I've tried freezing some apps I thought were causing this (AAT, Google Backup, etc), but no success.
I'am using ICS 4.0.4 (Rooted) on a LG Optimus Showtime. There is no update beyond that for this phone unfortunately.
Bump
Hi,
I can’t say I’m impressed at all with the SGS2 battery life running CM11 M7 (KitKat 4.4.2). Quite often the battery won’t last through the day (luckily I can charge it at work, otherwise it wouldn’t even be bearable as a phone).
My crappy Sony Xperia J (JB) I had for a couple of weeks as a replacement could easily reach the end of the day with 70% charge still left when I plugged it in at night.
Android battery stats always show Android System and Android OS as the main offenders (around 20% - 25% each), above Screen usage, Voice calls, Mobile standby...
BetterBatteryStats tells me the phone is in the Deep Sleep most of the time, but also that it is awake (mostly at 200 MHz) quite a lot of time as well.
Here’s what I have already tried:
Disabled location services
Disabled Google Now
Disabled Google+ Auto-backup
Opt out of interest-based ads
Disabled back up data to Google servers
Disabled “Android Device Manager” as Device Administrator
Uninstalled all updates to Google Play Services
Disabled automatic updates from the Play Store
Disabled Mobile Data Limit
Disabled Automatic Date/Time updating
Uninstalled Lookout Antivirus
Uninstalled Viber
Uninstalled Skype
Rebooting the phone before connecting the charger
Rebooting the phone immediately after disconnecting the charger
I really don’t want to perform a factory reset specially since I have read some other comments by Galaxy S5 and Nexus 5 owners (KitKat 4.4.2) saying it didn’t work…
So what exactly is going on here?
Thanks!
Sorry

Sorry I cannot help you, however, I am also contemplating installing cm11 on my sgs2 i9100.
I wanted to ask you if you phone came with android version 2 installed on it? (maybe in that case the problem is incapable hardware)
Mine came with 2.3.4 and i do not want to face the same problem as you are now (sorry).
Thanks
It is normal, that non-stock-based roms consume more power because Samsung haven't open-sourced all drivers. And Kitkat drains more than Jellybean. Try Slimsaber Reborn. It has a decent battery life, an very acitve developer, and is nicely customizable.
Any luck?

Hi MegaShark!
I have almost the same issue you have, my device never go to deep sleep... (by "never" I mean 1 minute deep sleep and 1 hour 200MHz)
After months trying, getting help from Better Battery Status thread, flashing, freezing, going crazy, I commited suicide (flashed stock ROM), but it is driving me mad.
The last try I did was with SlimSaber Reborn (Android 4.3.1), but no luck also.
Installed "Unbounce", prevented nlp wakelock, prevented safe alarms and nothing, it only gets worse...
All I get is my device always warm (always running at minimum of 200MHz) and more than 10% battery drain per hour.
Have you found out what is the problem with our S2 on custom ROMs?
Thank you!
First of all, I would advise you to update your rom. CM11 M7 is old now and is filled with bugs (along with versions around that). Update to CM11 M11 Snapshot which will most likely fix many of the problems you are facing but you will need to do a full wipe (factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache partitions). So sorry, the only way to fix is to wipe your data and update.
Will try!

I remember to have hope until CM11 M9... But I'll give M11 a try and report back here!
Drain NOT related to any of the CM version
I have been facing battery draining problem in my sgs2 (i9100) just after installing CM 11.
Then I tried NeatROM without any Luck!
Every time i cleaned data, cache and dalvik to be sure...
at the end I moved back to Stock ROM - everything fine there...
but again then I decided to have just root and custom recovery installed... which required me to Flash Jeboo Kernel v1.2a (which comes with CWM based recovery 6.0.2.7 preloaded)
then it started same problems again... overheating - battery draining ...
It clearly look like ... the battery draining/overheating problem is because of .... Kernel AND/OR CWM 6.XXX
I think, if one want to install CM 11 in sgs2, after installing ROM, he/she need to flash it with some other kernel.
If anybody have tried some other kernel, which doesn't cause battery draining/overheating problem, then pls post here so that other can also try...
Confused

pankhawala, I installed the last available SlimSaber Reborn (4.3) (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rivatives/rom-slimsaber-reborn-i9100-t2811657) because o lots of positive feedback on this ROM.
It is really a very nice ROM, but my battery drain problem persisted, I was losing more than 10%/hour in idle.
I just tried to "live with it" and after some weeks it mysteriously gone away.
I was happy for a few days and it went back again.
Now, it has been since this Sunday that it is gone again.
I'm being able to have a very acceptable battery life, very good deep sleep times and less than 4%/h when idle (screen off).
I didn't changed anything and it just got better by itself.
I'm sure it will start to drain again, just don't know when or what is triggering it.
My last hope is that when new Lollipop ROMs start coming out for our S2, some holy developer figure out this problem or that the problem is simply gone.
Device: Galaxy S3 i9300. Cyanogenmod 10.2. Googy Max kernel 1.8.0.
Suddenly that wakelock appears in BBS, and Wakelock detector. CPU keeps in 200 MHz, never go to deep sleep.
Didn't change anything this last couple of days, apps nor configuration nor any.
Google it and the info is confused to me, many technical stuff and weird code things.
In one old XDA thread someone fixed this very problem changing the SIM card for a new one. Didn't work for me.
Sometimes rebooting the phone solves everything, but then after a while thís battery eater wakelock pops up and brings devastation with it.
Please, some help with this will be appreciate
