How do I completely freeze this service using T backup pro?
I freezed Gtalk 1.0.3 the app, but using Betterbatterystats reveal that gtalk_async_conn still resulting in partial wakelock timing
I have also noticed this.
Anyway we can stop it?
Still no solution? GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is my main Partial Wakelock in the Betterbatterystats (KH3 firmware) and heavy battery drainer with about 60 min of activity during 8 hours...
same problem with me...and no one on Google does not have a solution for this.
installed 'Better Battery Stats' to see what was keeping the phone up and it's "gtalk_async_conn". The thing is that I don't even use Google Talk. I tried to disable auto-login and freeze it with Titanium Backup without any luck. The only thing that worked was to disable 'Background data' but other apps like Market needs that option on.
Literally everyone appears to have this problem, i actually froze Talk in Titanium and have had no problems but is this Gtalk_async_conn related to this or what?
This problem persist more with google Maps 5.8, 5.9 version. I uninstalled the google maps and noticed that problem was solved, issue was not present anymore in wakelock of batterbatterystats. However it's not permanent solution.
same prob here. would be nice if s.o. has a solution
I also uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup) and it helped for a while -- got really minimal battery drain for several hours. But now the problem is back so I'm wondering if it might also be related to Market or Gmail.
I would say this is the answer.
ANSWER
And it would explain why everyone has it.
That post might explain what it is, but it's not very helpful at solving the issue.
I turned off notifications in Market (some versions don't have this setting; try Market 3.1.3). If it still doesn't help then I am going to try turning off Gmail sync.
Turn off all syncing (gmail, calander, etc), turn off background data and you may have it disappear, also don't use anything that uses google c2d push notifications.

I did the following:
- Uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup)
- Turned off notifications in Market (using Market 3.1.3)
- Turned off Google accounting syncing for everything except Gmail (background data / auto-sync still enabled)
Partial wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN are now very low. Just a couple of seconds over 15+ hours of low use.
However I think I still have some battery drain (based on Battery Monitor Widget) so I am looking at other possibilities.

I am not trying to be a smartass but doesn't your battery monitor widget cause some battery drain?

Totally valid point. But I have also tried running it with Battery Monitor Widget turned off and I still see the same drain (by looking at the battery history graph).
Also while experimenting, I had a couple of hours where Battery Monitor Widget continuously reported -1mA battery discharge (while Battery Monitor Widget was running of course). The battery history graph was basically flat. So that tells me that I can still run Battery Monitor Widget and get minimal battery usage -- if everything else is working right.
In the Better Battery Stats thread, the developer says his target battery discharge is -2mA to -10mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). I know it's possible because I've gotten it before, but lately I'm somewhere around -70mA so that's what I've been working on.
Getting great battery life now with the Gtalk_async_conn issue seemingly gone. I still have Maps removed -- luckily I do not need it much these days. I also notice that Market likes to stay running in the background, where it uses some CPU time even with notifications disabled. Also, turning on Google Calendar auto-sync caused significant battery drain.
Quick summary:
- Uninstall/freeze Maps
- Kill Market if it's running in the background
- Turn off Google account syncing for everything except Gmail
- Turn off "Back up my data" under Privacy settings
I was at about 50% battery after 20 hours. I am running Cognition 1.5.1 with SpeedMod kernel.

It's good to know that these mods work, but they are pretty extreme for me, and I would assume many others. I actively use the functionality of Maps and other Google account syncing. I hope that someone can work out a way to minimize the usage without cutting off the functionality completely.
For what it's worth, I see a dramatically higher usage of the GTALK process when I am at work where some of the syncs are blocked on the office wifi. Out of the office on 3G or at home, the amount of time GTALK is active is significantly reduced.
Atrix here but same issue. I agree if turning off syncs is the way to go, I might as well buy a dumbphone
I agree it's annoying. But the battery life improvement is dramatic, even more so than I mentioned in my earlier post. I used to get <20 hours per charge. Now I get about 3 days. Hopefully these are just bugs in the apps that Google will fix in future versions.
Not sure what is causing it. I have turned off auto-sync, logged out of gtalk, and even turned off "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" from Settings>Privacy.
I still notice 1-2 minutes of partial wakelocks.
Try killing Market if it is running.
Not sure if the last update to the facebook app caused this but Facebook has been keeping my phone from going into sleep state. Even after force closing it, it seems to re-open and drain my battery by keeping my phone awake. I uninstalled facebook as a temporary solution.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solution?

What is the setting you currently using? (rom, kernel, radio)
I have the same problem and I go to manage applications and force stop facebook everytime I open Facebook page. Or you can reboot the phone.
The official facebook app is a steaming pile of crap. I ditched it for Friendcaster and my battery life has improved dramatically.

I already posted about this in the NRG ROM because that's the ROM I'm using, but I am so impressed with the battery improvement after using this app for a week that I had to cross post to a larger audience. I know the battery is the one major drawback on the Amaze. This is just not a problem for me anymore since I started using Greenify.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
I've been getting over 24 hours regularly with 3-4 hours screen time. I'm using NRG with stock kernel, but I see no reason why this app wouldn't offer improvement for any configuration. It enables effective hibernation of apps without freezing them. They'll run but only in the foreground. It cuts out all background processes of the apps you select.
You have total control over which apps you want running in the background and allows you to keep the aggressive battery hogs at bay. You select which apps should hibernate. For instance, now Google maps will really stay asleep when it's not being used, no constant wake locks, but unlike with freezing it, you can conveniently launch it when needed. However any apps with background processes that are actually useful are free to do their thing, eg, widgets you want to auto update. It's taming the beast that is android.
And not only is my battery improved, but my phone is more responsive too. Highly recommended. Here's the xda thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
thanks a lot for sharing this, will try it out, always wanted an app like this, the maps kill the battery for no good reason.
My pleasure. I hope your experience is as satisfying mine.
dosnt kill maps most apps remain in idle, pending hibernation mode.
EDIT, opened my eyes and read the FAQ. - maps not gonna die :|
Q: Some of my greenified apps (e.g. Google Maps) seems not hibernating.
A: In short, don't worry about frequently awake apps. It will still hibernate in minutes after screen goes off, thus hardly add observable battery consumption. Use battery statistics in settings or "BetterBatteryStats" to confirm that.
While most greenified apps will stay in hibernation quietly, some apps do break hibernation, due to being waken up by others. Some known cases include enabled account sync, backup agent, and explicit launch by other app.
Since version 1.45, Greenify will now automatically turn off directly involved account sync of greenified apps when going to hibernate, to avoid the periodic account sync wake them up. For backup agents, Greenify will NOT disable them, to ensure your backup of app data is always up-to-date. As backup usually does not perform often, they are thus unlikely to be waken up often.
Google Maps is a typical example of explicit launch by other app. Some Google apps, including Google Now (a.k.a Google Search), will start the NetworkLocationProvider of Google Maps for its proprietary implementation instead of the public Android one if Google Maps is installed.
Since Greenify is designed to not break any explicit usage of greenified apps, these behaviors are considered "normal", and will NOT be "fixed". To clear out your unease, Greenify will still put them into hibernation when standby to protect your battery consumption.

You can manually put them into hibernation mode by selecting them, and hitting the pause button at the top of the screen. To help control maps make sure you don't have Google Now running or have it on in a very limited mode. (Google Now sucker punches battery. Honestly, I just presume that anyone interested in battery preservation has abandoned Google Now.) The other anti-maps tactic I use is to go to System Settings>>Location and disable "GPS satellites" and "Location & Google search." I can easily re-enable these through a widget I have set up when I need Maps capability, but it keeps the program quiet for the most part and Greenify does the rest.
The proof is in the screenshots. I never got any battery life like this before Greenify.

but in those pics i also see juice defender running, so that may be playing a part too. also there are no phone calls, phone calls take a lot of juice.
regarless of that i have witnessed significant battery improvement with this app, i think i'll be giving a donation to this guy. he deserves it.

I've had Juice Defender going as long as I've had my phone. I use the customization in ultimate, but before Greenify, I was getting around 17 hours battery life. So JD has not been a variable for me in evaluating the app.
I'm not a big phone call maker, but I do use bluetooth for music streaming a lot. I think it was so minor in comparison to the screen usage that day that it probably didn't even register 1% battery usage.
So I'm giving it a try. This a pretty much a light app that kills the app you select when you aren't using it.

Trying this out now but just thought I'd pass along some info that really helped me with maps. Using Autorun manager (free on playstore) I killed any process under map that had the word friend in it and it has made a big difference even though Latitude has been disabled since day 1. There are lots of other battery saving and wake lock preventing things you can do with this app.

My device is rooted and using root access almost all the bloatware has been frozen and I have very limited apps. I didn't have a wakelock problem before rooting but now my cpu wakes up at regular intervals of time and sometimes its on all the time ( even when the screen is off).
The apps that I have on my phone are
Opera mini
Temple run
Whatsapp
Viber
Superuser
Default Samsung browser
S memo
S planner
Gmail
music player ( default )
Calculator
Video player
Standard reply is use Better Battery Stats to find what wakelocks .

I just found out that there is a free version of BetterBatteryStats for xda members. downloaded and installed it.am following the instructions . . . but do any of you know how to interpret the observations?
hi dude,
if you have various system or user apps wakelocks , first do a monitoring it with your favorite battery monitor and analysis tool to details.
you can use traditional battery savers (i didn't recommend)
I do use greenify (paid app, but very good - the "engine" is different, doesn't kill or freeze, but hibernate system (need root) or users apps.
increase my battery and decrease unnecessary wakelocks ...

I'm uploading my bbs reading. can you guys tell me what this means?
wakelocks
By looking at the task manager you can deduce that I have minimal number of applications running in the background and that all the bloatware has either been frozen removed of greenified.
and by looking at the battery graph you can conclude that I have wakelocks as the cpu doesn't go into deep sleep even when the screen is off

hi
there was in you files, eg.
gtalk GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint
gmail com.google.android.gm.Gmail
high durations
look in settings the sync settings ... maybe adjust the sync ...
there was long wakelock time durations eg m_duration=74554
others wakes
m_name=DropboxCpuOnlyWakeLock, m_duration=48767
causes ... sync? look the dropbox settings
m_name=PhoneWindowManager.Broadcast WakeLock, m_duration=57822
localization apps related?
i did read for this and guys reported problems in volume buttom or others ... pressing or bump problems ... or (its hard to believe lol) leather cases that press buttons
Common tips - reference http://better.asksven.org/bbs-how-to/
"Following tips can help you reducing some causes of awake:
Turn your GPS off when not required to avoid apps using that expensive location source
When you are finished using an app close it with the "back" button. This will terminate it and avoid background management
Don't use any auto killer apps. If there are apps you don't want to be started or cached freeze them or configure their auto-start properly
Don't use and power saving tools like Juice Defender or Green Power: most apps do not behave properly when they can't use the data connection and will generate overhead by trying
If you don't need Wifi turn it off: in some cases Wifi is known to cause wakeups and an overhead in e.g. location services"
I recommend you try freeze these apps or greenify (my personal choice) ... or change the sync settings ... or uninstall apps
If this troubleshooting does not work ...
I do recommend install a latest firmware (your favorite ROM stock stock pre rooted or custom) ... wipe format etc ... etc ... etc
Do a backup user apps and data ... etc ...

I have one gmail account and sync is on for like 10 mins a day.
I do have a dropbox account but I haven't actually logged into the app using my phone.
I don't use a case or any other protection for my phone home and the volume buttons are seldom pressed.
gps is switched off almost all the time but the other two options in location setting are on.
I always use packet data.
I have also greenified all third party applications except whatsapp and all the stock apps that I don't use have been frozen.
thanks for helping!
( I get a standby time of around 17-20 hours with a minimum on screen time of 5 hours . stock rom and kernel)

Hey guys,
I have a huge battery drain (10% a night) and according to betterbatterystats I have a problem with "MQTT_CLIENT_CONNECT" from com.facebook.katana.Facebook.
What can I do? I want to keep the Facebook App and I also want to get notifications. Why is this app draining so much battery or keeping the device awake?

Facebook is the most notorious app when it comes to wakelocks. Wakelocks prevent deep sleep and therefore accelerate battery drain. The reason Facebook keeps the device awake is so it can still collect your information. If you want this to stop at night then disable syncing, do not use the widgets, and use the app greenify to make the app sleep better
