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

Hi.
Yesterday night something strange happened to my sgs. I went to bed with about 30% juice on the phone. When i wake up after 5 hours, the phone was flat.
I suspect that a rouge app is killing the battery. How can i figure out which app is draining the battery?

you can go to Settings > About phone > Battery usage .
you will see list of the hardwares ( such as Disply ), and softwares tthat use the battery and the % of each one is using.
I hope that helped you,,

Use Watchdog from Market. It will alert you when appas are misbehaving/using a cpu beyond a threshold.
To see what processes are causing wakelocks (wakes from deep sleep), use BetterBatteryStats. It;s free on XDA.

If you are on 2.3.3, then it might be Wifi Sharing Manager that's causing battery drain.
Use Antek App Manager, a free app from market to freeze the two system apps related to wifi sharing.
about battery usage.
also you can go to task manager before leaving your phone for hours and stop all active apps. i do this on a daily basis. i also have task manager on a home screen for easy access. =)
Using task killers won't save you any battery. Android has a powerful memory management feature. When it runs out of memory (in our sgs2 with 1 gb ram, that's almost impossible), it removes finished apps from memory automatically. Some apps are kept in memory for faster launch. Idle apps in memory doesn't consume any cpu. Hence it doesn't drain your battery!
When I check to see what's been using my battery, it shows that the News360 app used 6% of my battery life even though I haven't been using the app. Is it syncing and refreshing in the background and if so, how do I disable it?
Does BetterBatteryStats app uses more battery and cause more wakelocks?
Should I install it?
Haven't noticed any battery draining from BBS. It only presents the already existing battery usage stats in more detail. It would use more battery if you grant it superuser status to check for alarm and networks stats.
It does help identify any rogue battery draining apps you might have. Haven't really found a use for it otherwise. Won't worry too much about installing it if you already have good enough battery life atm.
What I do is enable it every week or so under a normal usage scenario, see what's draining my battery and fix it (I usually have installed and removed alot) then I freeze the app with Titanium because there is no reason to have it running

My idle cpu usage seems a little high and sporadic and I'd like to force them all to 0% when idle but still be able to receive background data like for instance my play store seems to use a continuous idle usage and a few others. I can freeze them with the System Tuner but I'd prefer to Globally force all apps to 0% usage so I'm getting say 1% usage at idle on occasion every hour or few hours? When I use System Monitor, I see my cpu usage kind of jumping from 0 to up to 35-40% while idling and I don't want these apps using any resources at idle. I'm trying to extend battery life a lot more.
My battery life is really good already since I have a 3600mah battery but I could get even better if I can dial in the usage at idle.
Is there application that can do that?
On another note, I can't seem to figure out why my Google Calendar won't open a "New Event" it just sits on the Loading... Screen
Thanks
Greenify! It's in the play store for free
Me Gusta!
Greenify is best for hibernate user apps you can also prevent system apps with Rom Toolbox>app manager>select app>advance freeze>disable useless services
Use Ds battery saver pro for better deep sleep
If your android version is 4+ go to settings>developer options>choose background processes atmost 2

I wish the Developer options for the the services would stick after reboot since it always reverts...

None of those things changed it, still getting a minimum of 15% usage at complete idle with 0 processes allowed and close every app after use.
Not sure what do here... Battery life while in use is poor just because of those background load.

Buy betterbatterystats and check wich app or wakelocks are draining your battery,if you find nothing then throw the battery in dustbin.

OK. This wakelock is absolutely killing my battery. My phone won't go into a deep sleep because of it.
I am running RomAur 3.7 with included kernel
Stamina Mode (Only whitelisted apps are SMS, Gmail, Twitter and Words with Friends)
Extended Standby
Despite the Stamina Mode, the wakelock persists.
Can someone please shed some light on this wakelock and what I can do to stop it? There have been a couple threads in the past about it, but no definitive answer to stop it. Thank you in advance for any assistance with the one thing that is stopping me from enjoying this excellent phone.
Google apps and social apps usualy kill your battery
Try removing those
