Google+ is killing my battery with this partial wakelock. Short of freezing it with Titanium (which does solve the problem for me), does anyone know how to prevent this from running? It literally runs as long as my phone is on, and is just draining my battery.
On HTC Sensation, S-Off, rooted, using stock ROM (4.0.3)
Tried uninstalling the app if you don't need it? If it doesn't allow you from the Settings, get some File Manager that has root rights and manually delete the application from system/app.

try to freeze it using greenify app
The problem is that I want it, it's the only app worthwhile for viewing Picasa web albums. I would like to solve the problem instead of just killing the app.

i think it occurs because of bad battery hardware
I ended up uninstalling all updates to Google+ and it solved the problem. Now I am unable to connect to my PC. I'm probably just going to reset to factory settings and unroot, seems like it's one problem after another since I've rooted.

about a month ago this happend to me:
out of the blue everything on my phone started FC repeatedly (whatsapp, camera, Luancher Pro, phone, etc..) so pulled out the battery and it then it didnt want to boot up so i tried a fresh install from recovery but.. recovery was crashing as well and i had to pull out the battery every time. finally afer playing a speed game with the phone i got to re install (i wiped user chache/data /dalvik ) and the problem was gone ...
these recent days some apps started FC on me but i thought i was somewhat common .. mainly Mi file explorer .. so right now my phone started to do the same thing again.. FC everything! The main one crashing is = the process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. i have no signal now and cant open anything.. if i pull out battery I know it wont boot up and may not let me use recovery without a hassle!
i dont know if this has to do with but when i install a rom ( i had topsmarts 1.3) i use root uninstaller to uninstall lots things i dont want like: weather and news, terminal emulater, dev tools, es explorer..
what is can be causing this problem and what can i do to fix it??? it looks like i wont be using it today because its as good as a brick right now.
edit before OP: i selected reboot and as expected its looping at the Unlocked screen:crying:
Try re-flashing it anyway... if there's a recovery problem again let us know

It's not a living thing or a machine with mechanics that suddenly doesn't work because of a misconception. If it was a misconception it would not work at all. If you solved it by reflashing, then it's a software issue and it won't happen again if your CWM image is not broken. But just to make sure I would reflash CWM to make sure it doesn't cause any trouble.
and be careful with removing system apps

I believe it was you removing system apps which caused your problems. You should always freeze system apps instead of uninstalling/removing them. That way if your phone starts to act up you can thaw/unfreeze them until you figure out which one is causing the issue.

Exactly. Removing system apps can result in accidental removal of base code and intrinsic system processes that are required for your ROM to function properly. These apps can probably be disabled and hidden instead of removing them altogether.

A logcat would help tremendously here. Would show exactly why things are FCing.
sorry i dont know how to do a logcat .. but the things i remove are:
es file explorer
news and weather
gtalk
terminal emulator
theme chooser
voice dailer

You really have to freeze apps one by one if you are unsure of what you are doing. On stock Blur build for example, Yahoo Authenticator can cause FC issues with your contacts if you freeze or delete it. You wouldn't think this would affect your contacts, but it does.
Hi, I wanted to ask something.
My facebook app after upgrading in 2.3, it consumes a lot of battery, such as 50-60%. Obviously it is not a normal thing.
Does anyone know the reason?
I'm desperate!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thank you very much!

Maybe check what the app tries to sync and what to refresh (e.g. notifications etc.) and how often it does that.
if you are rooted you can get a better view on the battery consumption with BetterBatteryStats (search here on XDA).

you can also try to use Gemini to switch on/off services used by facebook (or other apps likewise).
or you could try a reflash of the rom?

I have no idea what's going on, and its extremely aggravating. I never use Facebook other than for when notifications show up, each of then pictures are taken of stats on a brand new s3 with a brand new AOKP ROM, and I have not even opened Facebook after a full battery charge and a reboot, and it still demolishes my battery.
I need help here, its driving me up the wall

seems to me like it's a wakelock bug which means that the application is preventing your phone from going into idle mode.uncheck all synch options and come back to report

Try it the old fashioned way
Delete Facebook and reinstall it. I had the same problem with Google Maps once and it worked that way.
Reinstalled and same behavior.
I even force stopped the app out of curiosity, and its still draining, even tho its still stopped

If he uses Greenifiy he won't receive any notifications from Facebook because the App will be hibernated.
That's right, Facebook will only sync when you open it, this is what fast Facebook does (which is very popular as it's a lightweight ver different version). Facebook is a big hogger but if you want instant updates, guess you'll have to put up with it. You could try clearing data, running sdmaid on a regular basis and clearing Facebook files, that might help.

I often have a problem with applications that are using the Internet. I can not see images. For exemple Flipboard, Dropbox, the Swype keyboard (isn't loading suggestions), etc I must restart my phone to see them again. The problem is that it happens often. Any idea why?

I tried.The problem persists. At first everything goes perfect, after a day or two doesn't work the applications that require viewing images online like dropbox, flipboard...
Are you using some sort of firewall/adblocker that might act up? What rom are you on?
Maybe strage things in the logcat while not getting the images?
I would suggest doing a full wipe and only install flipboard and see If you have the same problems after some days.
Also, does this problem Also happen on different networks?

I am not using any firewall/adblocker.
I have the stock rom but my phone is rooted.
I did full wipe but i have the same problems.
When this apps are not working, if i try to make a screenshot an error appear " It was found an error on the SDcard". Dropobox and Swype cannot work without an SDCard. Maybe it's a problem with the card, but otherwise, I can use music and video on it even if Dropbox, Flipboard and Swype are not working properly.
The problem persists on different networks.
I have an HTC Droid DNA on Verizon running Android 4.4.2 (for a while now) and it's been pretty solid until about two weeks ago. All of a sudden it has started eating battery like mad, and the battery info says that the dialer or android system are the largest users of battery. I'm talking like full charge in the morning to dead by mid afternoon PLUGGED IN TO MY COMPUTER. I'm down 10% battery in the last 1.5 hours with the phone charging. The phone is in global mode, the location is set to "battery saving," I have good signal here (East Sacramento, Ca). I found some old threads on similar battery issues and read through them, tried what they recommended. I reset the cache partition first, no dice. I did a factory reset, and that seemed to work for a few days, but now the problem is back. I can't reset every few freaking days or my life will be a constant loop of reentering passwords. Could this be some sort of virus with a really good rootkit? I'm at my wit's end. Anybody know what this might be? I'd appreciate any help y'all can offer. Thanks.
Disable any sync in settings, it sounds like an app is trying to sync your contacts and is having issues making dialer and system keep on trying to sync those for you. That is my only thoughts other than some rogue app doing something to call dialer and system as factory reset fixes it, so it has to be something in settings or an app that gets installed on your end.

Here goes . . .
Thanks for the quick reply. I live by sync, but I'll certainly try it and see what happens. Any idea of how I might figure out which app it is if that's the issue?

Seems not to Help.
So I've disabled sync, and I'm still losing about 1% battery every 1-3minutes. so I get roughly 2-3 hrs. battery from full charge at that rate, and plugging in while running only slows the bleeding. Under battery usage, Dialer is 45%, Android system is 33%, and Internet is 10%, followed by play services, linkedin and mediaserver for a combined 5%. Hmmm . . .

Hmm. Have you tried disabling location and WiFi location consent? It might be gplay services keeping GPS or WiFi scan on. I haven't had this issue in awhile as I just use greenify to sleep pretty much every app I have and important ones have gcm so they can wake for a quick email/text/etc check once in awhile.

Is this thread dead?
Having the same issue on my girlfriend's DNA; Dialer seems to account on the most battery drain.
Have you tried the suggested solution already? I never personally ran into this issue. Then again only my SIM syncs contacts and nothing else does as I am a privacy nut and don't want other services to know my contact list.

Yeah, tried unsynching everything.
Seems that the issue resolved itself when I cleared cache from recovery...
Then, instead of the dialer being the culprit; Android system was...
Planning on doing full factory reset this weekend.
