You can download Wakelock Detector to find out what's causing the battery drain, but your phone needs to be rooted.

[Q] "Bluetoothtest"-process draining battery, what is it?

Hi.
I recently upgraded to 4.0.3, and installed Go launcher and Go Powermaster.
However, according to the batterystats "Android OS" is using up to 33% of the batterypower. When i check in Go Powermaster, it says that "BluetoothTest" is using as much as 35%, and it's state is always 'running'. Even if i forceclose it it's back within seconds.
I might use bluetooth like once in two weeks, and it's always disabled otherwise.
So the question is obvious, what is this bluetoothtest and how do I stop it from draining my battery? ;p

if you're rooted, you can freeze with using titanium backup.
from its name i think its an application to check if your bluetooth is working or not.
WOuldn't freezing it, just make the OS use power on keep trying to start it?
Even if you disable the bluetooth you have this process running?

Yes, I almost never use BT so it's always off.
Solved ?!
Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue on my SII.
It's fully reset to factory defaults and running Android 4.0.3, also with Go Launcher and GO Powermaster.
Bluetooth is always disabled, but the "BluetoothTest" Task is about 40% of my overall battery drain.
Did you find a way to solve this?
Regards, Vanon
for those who got prblms of wakelocks like bt,stest,sns,etc etc if u got tb or mytoolbox an this is a gr8 tool u can freez ,unfreez sys app or apps....an ya if ur not using bt jus freeze any thing stating by bt..no it will not try to power on u can also remove some unwanted apps...jus try an post ur results it helps others too.......cheeeerz
I have the same problem, any solutions?
Very same issue on Galaxy NOTE under ICS Kingdroid 1.5 rom.
same with Galaxy SII on android 4.0.3
same issue with Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
Same issue with Sgh-i727. Was anyone ever able to resolve this issue?
Upgrade to JB via OTA... Otherwise root it and freeze that bluetooth test application.

[Q] Galaxy SIII battery drain on standby

I have the international version and the battery drain in standby is a big problem. I lose about 1% every 5-10 minutes. I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network. I've been using GSam Battery Monitor to locate the problem. I saw Facebook woke up my phone for about 500 times and I deleted it. However, I'm still experiencing this issue. In 5 hours Google services woke up my phone 47 times (in included packages it says: Google Contacts Sync; Network Location) and Maps woke it up for about 20 times.
I'm rooted and I'm running stock (LH1). No custom kernels or modems. What's the problem?
EDIT: Also, the drain is happening only when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network (I noticed it's much slower while I'm on mobile data)

I'll try to find that thread (could you please link it if it's not a problem.
I've been using BBS for quite some time actually, but I was unable to detect the problem. I've also been using GSam Battery. But what I've noticed is that this drain happens when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network or at least it's bigger then.
Maybe Google's location service can be a problem even though the GPS is OFF

I've turned it off and as far as I've seen it didn't fix the issue. However, I will leave my phone for a couple of hours tomorrow to see again. There are apps for which I have to have it turned on (Foursquare, Maps etc.) so that's a bummer.
Even I am having the same problem of battery drain. Will it get fixed if the change the battery considering I have two 2 Galaxy S3 with the same problem of battery drain.?
Also I want to root my phones, but is there a way to root the phone without the warranty being void?
I've been experiencing some minor battery drain issues and what I found is that if I log out of all the apps I'm logged in to, my battery drain is significantly better. Not a perfect solution but I'm slowly figuring out which one is causing issues.

Oneplus X and fast dormancy battery drain

Hey guys,
I have BBB (Better Battery Stats) installed and saw that one of the alarms is causing a huge battery drain. Its caused by fast dormancy which should actually save energy. In BBB it is called com.qualcomm.fastdormancy. In my case the phone can not enter deep sleep when fast dormancy is active.
I found an article describing the problem with fast dormancy ([FIX][ROOT] Disable Fast dormancy on sony smarthphones) but unfortunately I was not able to disable it. The guide is just for Sony devices and I could not find the folder ./etc/fast-dormancy.
Anybody with the same problem? Does somebody know a different method to disabled it (except for editing the build.prop file because it could cause a bootloop)?
Thanks!
I solved that by rooting and then instaling Service Disable from playstore. Then disabled fastdormancy Service.

Yes this might solve the problem, but what fastdormancy do? And what are the consequences of disabling it?

Not sure what it does, but when I disabled it the phone felt laggy, now I re-enabled it and it is snappy again.
Sometimes, Play services cause the battery draining issue and sometimes Installing some faulty app and overclocking the device may reduce the battery life of your device.
There are common steps you can follow like using black wallpaper to take advantage of the AMOLED panel to save battery.Uninstalling unnecessary apps can boost your battery life
I just read some tips which are common but useful->>http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-oneplus-x/
Hi,
I ran into the same Problem. Phone most time running @300mHz instead going to DeepSleep.
(Network Providor for me is currently SIM.DE - Sub Providor of O2 Germany)
This morning I found an article and disabled "Fast Dormancy" with the Build Prop Editor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/tut-disable-fast-dormancy-battery-life-t2348597
Seems to work fine for me so far. Phone is going to deep sleep again now.
I changed this 2 hours ago, so I can't say anything about longtime use or potential other problems.
Anyway, I would like to share these links because there are some useful information probably interesting for some people.

Yes. For me situtation is much better now. There are still some dormancy wakeups but I think this is normal behavior and initiated through some apps.
If I doesn't use the phone much over the day, I get about 1 to 3 hours longer battery time.
I don't recognize any other problems or limitations, so for me the fix is perfect.

Battery Drain in OxygenOS 2.2.1-x

I started this topic because of battery drain in the OxygenOS rom. As you see in my post of 2804, 8:48 pm the phone drains the battery by 31 % a day when idling at one physical location. I'm trying to find out the root cause and solve this. When using the phone a lot i get a 4-5 hour SOT, but when idling .... nothing that impressive. At first i expected the mobile radio active bug to be the cause, but now that's solved (by upgrading to OOS2.2.1-x) i'm wondering again what's causing this.
Solved: Mobile Radio Active bug
Old post: I'm back from CM13.x using OOS 2.2.1 for a few days now. It's by no doubt a fine manufacturer rom. But I think it has the Mobile Radio Active bug, at least on my phone. When i reverted from CM13 i formatted all partitions for a real clean flash, than downloaded this rom from pc via twrp and installed it (not wiping cache or dalvik) and restarted. Below images show my battery menu. I used the screen a lot, otherwise it would have been still lower in the rank. Does anyone else have this on OOS 2.2.1?
yes, it will be on every 5.1.1 rom, as i know it was fixed in marshmallow
Try wipe cache and dalvik cache

It's not fixed in CM13.x. That's one of the reasons i came back to OOS 2.2.1

I did (wiped cache, the only option the stock recovery gave). It will take a day or some to verify it it's over. But, do you have this Mobile Radio Active?
After wiping cache in stock recovery I recharged the battery and confirmed it's not yet solved. (see attached images). The idle power consumption is still to high i believe.
I'll now do a factory reset and check.
Does anyone else have this? How is your idle power consumption compared to mine?

The factory reset doesn't resolve this. Isn't there really anyone else on OOS2.2.1 with this issue??
I can thankfully say I do not have this issue and I am also on OOS 2.2.1.
I've now factory resetted my OPX OOS 2.2.1 and installed a 2nd sim (oops 2 changes at once...). Now I have a lot shorter Mobile Radio Active times. However the battery drain in idle didn't decrease at all. Because it's so high I keep posting screenshots in the hope it grabs more attention. It's mostly the android system causing this, I've barely any app installed. :crying:
I am not sure. I think its not a bug. Its because your network is not very good so the mobile radio is searching for network which leads to battery drain.

Well, maybe you're right, but this is quite extreme (see pictures below). I see today OOS 2.2.1-x came out, and I'm installing it as soon as possible.

There is no solution for this. One thing which is consistent with this is that it happens over mobile data, does not happen over Wi-Fi. This is bug from google play services. I have used almost all ROMs and all have the same issue. And it's not only limited to our device. Search on Google and you will know. Fixes are just hit and trial nothing as permanent fix.
Solved: mobile radio active bug
I upgraded to OOS 2.2.1-x ... and the Mobile radio active bug is gone!
The battery drain not at all, however. Therefore I'm renaming this toppic, and keeping it alive.
I was expecting the mobile radio to cause the battery drain, but... see the attachements.
And in the second picture you see that the cellular network signal is not too good, however in all the attachments, right top you see the HSDPA connection is not that bad. The phone has always been at the same place, these two days.
I left only Bluetooth opened overnight (about 7 hours) and battery was done by 25%. I wanted to test xiaomi mi band during sleep. Is it normal? I am running 2.2.1 oos
Strangely enough the Bluetooth computation was shown as 1% while 15% was the GPS consumption. As I said I am pretty sure I left GPS off, as never need it.

I'm from the Netherlands, but when you go to downloads.oneplus.net the recommended Oneplus X rom is 2.2.1-x so i don't think it's specifically for these countries.
I made a support ticket for this at oneplus. link here: https://oneplustech.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/608917
At home i don't have 4G reception, but i do have 3G reception. So I set the prefered network type to 3G, but this didn't help.
I'll keep you informed.
"Google play services " drains happened on many occasions on many devices.
You could try to go to wipe data application of "google service framework" "google play store", Google play services"
On the last one, you can try to uninstall updates desactivate and reactivate.
For some, switching primary google account worked.
What is synchronized in your google account ? Did auto-back up is ON?
Some had to use a root app to stop this behaviour.
PS : 2.2.1-x don't change anything about that.

This.
Even you turn off the Wi-Fi, the hardware is still on and searching, just it won't connect to any network.
But FYI since Android 4.1 there is low Wi-Fi battery consumption feature that phones use and if you are not connected to any network while Wi-Fi on, it will use maybe 1% battery overnight. I don't ever turn off my Wi-Fi because I want to connect to know network as soon as I am in the range and have the same battery as turned off.

Hah. No need for that. You can try flashing only your ROM and installing nothing and enable the wifi always scanning and you will see wifi is always on.

Yes, is related to Google location service.
In OxigenOS you can turn off Wifi Scanning, but after that the wifi will be much slower in the connecting process.
In HydorgenOS there is no option to turn off Wifi Scanning.
I prefer to have wifi scanning active even if it will use more battery. On my phone, in 3 days, the Wifi shows 1% battery usage.
