I was Wondering what wakelocks are safe to disable without causing a bootloop or any other negative effects. I personally think that they are the cause of the battery drain problem I'm having. Any advice would be appreciated!
Use an app like wakelock detector or betterbatterystats to see which wakelocks are draining your battery first.

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

i have an htc rezound running wildstang83s cm10.1, a HIRO based kernel, and amonra recovery. I don't have any apps that are out of the ordinary but for some reason my keep awake is 10:14:44 and the screen has been on 00:15:45... Its annoying because im chewing through battery life like nothing. I check CPU spy and I only entered deep sleep for 4% of the time and my cpu was running at 1728 (max) for 73.7% of the time. any help is greatly appreciated! perhaps I have some foolish setting enabled... i believe i disabled all syncing/updating
under apps installed I have:
andromouse
battle.net authenticator (key fob for battle net)
cheezburger
chrome
cpu spy
facebook
google+
kernel tuner
pageonce
You need to install an app like Better Battery Stats that will tell you which apps are giving you wake locks.

got it, going to let it run all night like usual and see what it says. ill be back in this thread in a couple of hours to let you know if i see anything suspicious
looks like the GPS was causing the wakelocks even though it was disabled. I re-enabled and disabled and then did a battery pull reboot. battery life is much better now! better battery stats really is an indispensable tool
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

I installed wakelock detector as a sistema without knowing what it does.
And how can I get rid of it pls.
Because now I'm getting a huge drain of battery and I want to know which app is sucking my battery.
Thanks.
Go to settings > Apps > Hit WD and uninstall it.
This app has almost no impact on battery life. BTW check the BetterBatteryStats thread on XDA to get further help.
Is there a way to diagnose which apps inside system/google services is causing wakelocks etc?
