Basically, my SD Card, or SD Card 2nd Partition is causing the phone not to go to deep sleep, I've tested and as soon as I remove my card and turn off the phone it goes to deep sleep! I've checked with BetterBatteryStats and confirmed it. Basically, when the SD card is in Kernel Wakelock makes it awake - Bcm_sdhc.3 wakelock, and when I remove it there's no problems. Is there any way to fix this?
Using ext4 should lower the wakelocks. But the only solution for removing it fully is to remove the 2nd partition.

i set it, set the max volume, then hours later when it goes off it pretty low, at about 60%....i go to check the volume and it is lowered in the alarm setting....any idea why is this happening? i almost overslept for work and am not happy about it :/
I keep getting this issue, I'm trying to eliminate what could be causing it but i think it may be when i mount the sd card to my pc. The reason i think this may be it is because when i unmounted it I lost all my facebook details for my contacts for about 10-15 mins
My earlier suspicions were correct it is the mounting of the as card that causes the errors I've described in my earlier post.
probably all pc connections, i use it for tethering, set the alarm after i was done and this morning all was ok....does HTC have a bug report site?
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
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
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.
I retired my Vibrant and removed the SIM. But am still messing around with it.
Something I'm having a problem with though is since removing the SIM card the battery has been really bad. I'll go from 100% to 15% battery overnight.
I disabled the radio in the *#*#4636#*#* menu.
Is it normal for removing the SIM to do this to the battery? I assume it's trying to lock onto something, but thought disabling the radio would fix that. Battery stats show "Android OS" using 90% of the battery overnight.
Just removing the sim card doesnt disable the radio, you need to go in and deselect all mobile networks under settings or put the phone into airplane mode, otherwise the phone will continously search for networks.
This search for networks or connections is likely what is killing your battery
I've disabled data in mobile networks, I've disabled the radio, I've put in airplane mode. Yet the phone always stays awake without a SIM card.
I put my active SIM card back in the phone and sure enough, now the phone will sleep when I turn off the screen.
So I tried an inactive SIM card, but again it's staying awake all the time.
Well just an FYI. Think I figured it out. Using TitantiumBackup I froze the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk apps and now the phone goes to sleep when the screen goes off and the battery is lasting now.
Everyday before sleep, I usually turn off wifi,bluetooth,all unwanted application. And I used task manager to kill unwanted program running and
go to Task managers and free up the RAM. Usually when I awake on the morning, I have similar battery power left before I goes to sleep. BUT
today morning, my device battery all drained up completely, and I charge up the battery and check what causing the excessive power usage. I go to
Setting>About device>battery usage. I notice Android system using 35% power over night. And I check which application running on the background
and I see all these things list running over night and it scares me to hell.

All these thing causing my android system used so much power over night today. And I was scary as hell what might cause these testing. Did I get
a virus/malware? I didnt install any weird app the previous day. Today I charged back 100% power started the device, half hour idle time, android system
goes down to normally 5% power usage. Seems normal for now, but I duno what causing all the testing running overnight? Help appreciated.
That's a LOT of apps running! I don't think I have that much going on when I am busy and connected! I do find that battery readings get "stuck" and I see a 30-40% drop all at once, but that's after a lot of use and the battery stuck for a few hours. Maybe you have something backing up to the cloud and the app isn't smart enough to know you don't have a connection. If this keeps happening, you might install an app like "Power Tutor" to see if you can pinpoint the app that's causing the most drain.
An important thing to remember is that the battery gauge on our devices is wildly inaccurate on it's best days.
I just want to know what causing these testing on android system overnight?
Last night I did deleted and add some files(not important system files, just other files like game apk,mp3,picture,etc). Then my media scanning says my storage full/lower memory when I still had 5 GB internal storage left. (probably referring to the RAM, not sd storage space) Then I search around and I found that my media storage has like high 95mb, so I clear data/cache. Then the media scanning icon can complete scanning and "full storage/low memory" message disappear. And I restart my device, then I went to sleep. Then today wake up with all those listed items running/testing on Android System drained up my battery.
Calm down
I say just calm down a bit. This is probably just a one-time thing. I doubt it will happen again. If it does, though, you should come back here and post immediately, and somebody will probably find out what's wrong.
P.S.
Do you have a custom ROM or Kernel? Sometimes these things can act strangely. I once had one that spent a bunch of battery trying to get a cell connection on my Galaxy Player!
I didnt have any custom rom, it is a stock rom
Did you install any new apps or anything different from what you'd been using normally?
I tried to install gameloft Fishing King, but fail, so I copied the data to that folder failed too. so i deleted those files and uninstall it.
Hi all,
My S3 is lately draining alot of power somehow and it comes from a system process as battery manager shows even tho a game is supposed to drain more.
the things that drains in that system process are Alarm Manager and AppManager-Launcher, had something to do with winlock. the strange thing is also when my battery is on 15% as the android OS says, then i plug in the recharge cable but it will hardly recharge or even lose power. when i did shut down the phone (when the OS said it was 15%), the battery that you will see when your phone is off said it was on 50% or more so i turned on my phone and now the OS says it was 58% instead of the 15% before the shutdown.
those things are truly weird so i dont know if its the battery or the OS.
the phone is rooted but had not that problem, but it started later on.
there is also an app called S Suggest and i disabled it but it is still running and whenever i stop it, it starts back up even tho i disabled it.
the battery drain starts when i play the game War and Order, but the battery statistics shows that that game is not consuming much battery but the android systemprocess is. that process is twice in the battery manager.
any idea's on how to fix this thing?
If you have any task managing/app managing, turn it/them off.
If you have disabled any apps, restore them.
If you have low internal storage space, make space (500mb minimum, preferably 1gb).
If you run a custom kernel, disable any swap files/partitions.

i re calibrated the battery and now the android system proces is gone from 60% to 7% so that part is fixed but the battery drain problem is not.
now the game stands on 54% of the battery so that would be a normal thing i guess.
and somehow that program S Suggest isnt running also which is a good thing btw.
my free phone space is now 9,48 GB.
i assume when u rooted a device it is a custom rom? i know little about android so how do i check for those swap files/ partitions?
btw the weird thing with the battery % (how the OS shows it, and how the phone shows it after you turned it off) is still active.
i saw in another post that if you reflash the root file, it might fix the battery % problem. is it safe to overwrite the current root file with the same root file that i used to root my phone?
You have a rooted stock rom, so long as you dont have a custom kernel you wont have swap files or partitions. Imo the best setup.
Before you start flashing stuff you might want to try an ad blocker like adfree or adguard and turn off locations.

i did root my phone via Odin, via download mode on my phone and it worked then. i did have a app called root booster and i used that app to boost the speed of my phone but since that went laggy i changed the settings back to custom. is that the original custom or a program made custom? when my phone was rooted i changed back to factory settings due to the lag, after that the battery % problem started but the lag was fixed, so i think it might have to do with the factory reset and that the reset overwrite some of the files that were patched by the rooting process and now is not communication very well. but i am almost 100% convinced that the factory reset had something to do with it because only after that the problem of the battery % started.
