The elusive RILJ problem. When his occurred I did read up on it, its not the location settings as they're all turned off and maps isn't the culprit cause I don't even have it installed. Whenever I check BBS it says RILJ (phone) and it literally drains my battery at the rate of 1% every 2 minutes with the 15 minute bus journey to work resulting in over 300 wakeups. I would love to use cyanogen permanently but I can't until my battery works for longer than a few hours at a time

It's not related to your location settings but I think the issue is with your radio. Couple of things you can do. Try the fastdormancy app from the playstore and disable fast dormancy. Also try switching to Edge. That should help too. Overall some amount of RILJ wakelock will be there.
P.S If its cynogenmod then try disabling emergency broadcasts. Its either in the message settings or in the dialer app settings. I'm not sure if there is a correlation but it did work in my case.

So I was on Sensation ROM without any issues. Ran it for months. Could easily go 36 hours with light use - not much drop when not in use (i.e. 8-10% overnight).
Suddenly, it started to drop like 10% an hour out of nowhere. Did this for a few days. I decided to try another ROM (Resurrection), wiped and tried again. I restored missing apps with data (which might be the issue) and it didn't seem to help. Unplugged 2 hours ago at 100%, and it's at 80% already with about 5 minutes of use.
CPU SPy shows 73% in deep sleep, which seems decent and 11% at 200MHZ
Better Battery Stats are confusing to me, but here are the items at the top (red bars showing):
Under Partial Wakelocks - AudioOut shows 4.7%, The media scanner service at 1.5% and some more minor stuff.
Under kernel wakelocks: BT Low power at 4.7%, Secril_fd_interface at 2.9% and multidp at 3.1%
Processes: kworker/0:1, kworker/0:3, kworker/0:2, kworker/0:0.

well the deep sleep should be int the 90's when not in use
looking into ur BBS stats u have audio wakelock and media scanner wakelock
which r draining ur batt thats why its under 200 mhz @ 11%
so please delete data cache of media scanner and also uncheck all ur audio settings under Systemsettings>sound then reboot after that wait for some time by not touchnig ur phone and after that check deepsleep with CPU spy it will be over 90% that ensure better batt life

Have you enabled BlueTooth?
Disable it if you do not actually need it.
Disable GPS, Bluetooth and WIFI when not using it.
Thanks for the help. I checked this morning and the phone is spending most of it's time at (50% or so) 200Mhz when sleeping, so it looks like it's not sleeping properly. I can't find anything called "media scanner" in apps or titanium, so I'm not sure how to delete that cache.
I checked BBS against today and it shows Audio_out as the leading partial wakelock, but how do I fix this? I unchecked everything in audio and rebooted and it didn't seem to help.
Second wakelock is network location active collector. Again, not sure how to fix this (is this location services?). I deleted data under "Network location" in titatium.

clear media storage data using titanium backup
its meda scanner
There is no app or anything called media server in Titanium or in the apps. it seems DRM protected storage and media manager might be it, but i cleared that data and the music disappeared and then the phone eventually froze and would not boot.
Any ideas? I re-flashed the ROM and it didn't fix it. How can this be an issue on two different Roms?
Thanks.

im also facing issues similiar to OP... the heck is audio out?
Same issue with multiple roms and full wipes. With and without restoring apps. Its driving me dreakin nuts!
Hi there,
I've had my Galaxy Player 5.0 for over a month now, and it's been exhibiting a weird battery drain problem. I have everything set up to drain as little battery as possible when the device is sleeping. I've got auto-sync off, Juice Defender Plus to automatically disable Wi-Fi... it's working beautifully most of the time. I can go for days without the battery draining at all when I'm not using it. But then it inevitably hits a point where I turn it on and lo, like half the battery charge is gone. I check BetterBatteryStats often to monitor this problem, and it usually shows about the same awake time as screen on time, which is what you'd expect. When the problem kicks in however, the device shows hours and hours of extra awake time.
Two new kernel wakelock entries appear at the top:
gpsd-interface
GPS
Those account for pretty much all the extra awake time. I can break these wakelocks by turning on the GPS, starting Google Maps, letting it read my location, closing Google Maps and finally turning off GPS again. I never use Google Maps or GPS the rest of the time, but these wakelocks keep coming back every few days. I've searched everywhere for any mention of "gpsd-interface" and I found nothing.
Any idea how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks, Nir
Hi @all,
since i switched from samsung stock rom to CM 10.1 (M3) there is a high battery drain when the phone is running on standby.
To be sure i'm getting nearly "comparable" results, i flashed both roms completly clean without any additional apps. Google services/syncs switched off, mobile data disabled.
With the samsung stock rom the battery lasts for about 3,5 days in standby. With CM10 the battery is drained after 1,5 days. 12 hours after charging BetteryBatteryStats shows a high number (~20000) of kernel wakelocks for the type "wlan_ctrl_wake" (NOT wlan_rx_wake). As far as i can see, there is no connection to any app keeping the phone from entering deepsleep. However, i only have a deepsleep rate of about 70%. Nothing suspicious in partial wakelocks.
Regarding the battery drain topic, there are many hints on google now, latitude, Gtalk and so on. Already tried those. There's no need to change the wifi settings, because on samsung stock rom everything works fine using the same settings (just about 40 wlan_ctrl_wakes within 12 hours). I'm using Fritzbox 7170 as wifi ap. Some people mentioned multicast/broadcast packages may be a reason for high wifi wakelocks. I traced the network, but nothing of the sort occurs.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Wakelock detector will link the wakelocks to the specific apps
I love Android.
I think the customization is great, and since v4 it's smoother and feels more responsive.
There are LOTS of apps and it's better than iOS.
But i'm sick of the battery issues.
I've always loved trying new features, ROMs, apps, hacks and whatever.
I now have SGS3 and it's my third android device, and i've installed ROMs dozens of times, even on my friends' devices.
One thing that always kept me alert is the battery life - the maximum I can get from my battery is around 30 hours with my usage - 1/5-2 hours of screen, ~45 minutes talk, lots of standby.
But every now and then, my girlfriend, my dad, my aunt or my friend ask me 'why does my battery drain so fast?'
Sometimes its google maps.
Sometimes its mediaserver/media scanner
Sometimes - and only I can see it cause they are not familiar with tools like BBS, it's gsf (Google Services Framework).
The point is, when you have an Android device, you need to check the battery stats every now and then to make sure nothing is unusually heavy on the battery.
I am currently experimenting with ParanoidAndroid and AOKP, which are faster and more responsive than omega/stock.
Yesterday i went to sleep (6 hours) with 25% battery (after it lasted 15 hours) and I turned off the data connection and the wireless connection.
I woke up after 6 hours (lucky..) and I saw my phone if off. after I connected it to the charger and turned it on I saw mediaserver decided to wake up in the middle of the night, after It almost did nothing during the day, and worked for 5.5 hours until the battery died!
Today I unplugged my phone and in 1 hour of standby 10% of the battery were gone, I checked what happened using BBS and saw gsf again (that GTALK_SYNC whatever wakelock) was draining battery, after I thought I fixed it yesterday when I disabled app data and browser sync in the google account sync options). I rebooted and now it seems ok again, the phone is back to ~70-80-% sleep.
I want to emphasize that I don't like all the stupid battery tips that tell me to castrate my phone:
turn off wifi when it's not needed, turn down the brightness, lower the screen timeout, disable sync (wtf? but its a smart phone, I WANT push notifications!) and that sort of things.
I KNOW I can get >24hours of battery without disabling the basic features of my phone.
And the draining battery processes that I mentioned earlier can suddenly appear even in a stock ROM, so I don't think it's PA or AOKP's fault.
What I want is that google will finally build a supervisor entity that will check what causes an unusual battery drain, check if it makes sense, and disable that cause!
It's absurd that google maps application comes with default 'enable location reporting' that constantly drains your battery and for what?? google maps doesn't run in the foreground, why the hell will I want that background location reporting draining my battery? and if so, why do you put this option enabled BY DEFAULT? The average user doesn't know this sort of stuff, and get only 10 hours of battery out of a device that should ideally provide ~30 hours!!!
Just wanted to let it out of my system...
And to get useful battery tips if any...
It's a stock T-Mobile LG G5. I get around 2-2.5h SOT. Overnight it drops the battery by 8-11%. There are 34 screenshots in the ZIP file below, showing GSAM Battery monitor and BetterBatteryStats data. I've never used BetteryBatteryStats before so if someone could help me identify the culprit I'd greatly appreciate that.
The signal strength is excellent and the always-on display is disabled. The bluetooth and GPS are always enabled. I should mention that last week I put the phone in Airplane mode and the drain stopped, but obviously it's not a solution.
1.) why do you know, that the gsm signal is excellent? Because you can see 5 stripes in the notification bar? That is not real! I can see 5 stripes too, but this at 15 ASU.
But 100% signal is = 30 ASU! So this result can differ even you believe you can see 100 signal quality.
2.) my system is running on 20p. No BT and no Wlan (no NFC) with 8% for 24Std. (150 user apps installed)
3.) wifi and G-Mail polling sucks much battery power too! you should switch it of to compare! or is it real necessary to be on over the night???
4.) what’s about the google fitness app? this app needs power to check the sensors.
5.) Twitter; Google; G-Mail; Fotos are syncing many times! You can see together more then 800 wake ups!
no wonder that this together will suck your battery empty!
i would suggest you to switch off BT and W.Lan over the night! This should spend a lot of battery power too! Same for syncing and background data traffic.
Try to use 3C Battery Monitor app. there you can see the power consumption every 10 min in the night.
read this too! -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74381087&postcount=327
I have 55 ASUs, so the connection is not the problem. Last night it only drained by 1%. I had both Bluetooth and GPS enabled so I don't think they are the problem either. Twitter, Gmail also were enabled and they actually pulled and displayed some notifications, yet the drain was minimal.
What I think sometimes happens is Google app or Play Services goes crazy starts waking up the phone for no reason. Would you agree based on the screenshots? Or could it be some bug in the OS that does this?
