Hi there. I have a Galaxy S 2 i9100 and its battery drains very fast even when on screen off and - theoretically - idle. I have taken the attached screenshots on GSAM Battery Stats to help me out finding out why it drains so fast, but honestly, I can't quite understand how the kernel or system OS drains it so much when not on. The graph shot also shows the phone considers itself "active" even when screen is off and I'm not using it. How can I know what uses the phone so much, and how to avoid it from doing so?
Thanks in advance!!!

Here is an article on wakelocks from XDA. You might find it interesting.
As to the wakelocks that are keeping your device awake, I'm not familiar with the app you are using. I use Better Battery Stats. You can find a free version here on XDA if you want to check it out. You need to check "kernel wakelocks" and "partial wakelocks" to find the problem app(s).

Hi noppy, thanks for your reply.
I installed the app you mentioned, but I am not sure if I have to wait more time or if the app works in a different way of the other battery stats apps I have used so far.
When I open it, it shows an yellow line saying "no stats have been collected yet".
If I open the graph option, I can see wakelocks are incredibly constant (I have attached the screenshots). I don't know how to work on that...
@ghnogueira
Have you got root access? Did you install BBS as a system app when you first opened the app, then reboot? This is the normal setup for me. Once you have rebooted the device, BBS will start collecting data and then reset every time you interupt the discharge cycle(eg. by plugging in to recharge or to a pc).
But you will need root access for the app to find the issues.

Yes, this is what I get when I open it. From this screenshot I press the tab that says "other" and change it to "kernel wakelocks" and "partial wakelocks".

OK, I'm using v2.1.0, which explains the slightly different look. I noticed in the changelogs, they changed "other" to "summary", and also doesn't require installing as a system app. But that doesn't explain why it's not working for you. You could try uninstalling that one and installing the older version and see if that works.......or you could search on that thread for any clue or post if there is no mention of the same problem......

I used to have that app installed, and it is the "kernel" or "android system" that keeps it awake. But my real doubt is what can I do to stop that from happening? What is within my hands?

Hello,
I just installed Android Booster FREE. It's an app that allows you to see what apps are draining the most.
And I maybe found a reason of high OS usage.
On my phone the top 1 draining app is MTP Application(with 36%). Since it's an Android app(package name: "com.android.MtpApplication), it'll be counted in Android OS and is indeed listed.
Could anyone please try and verify this on their own phones? To see app specific usage, install with link above, open it ->Utilities -> Power Manager -> Applications.
Sorry if this isn't the reason or if it's only on my phone. But I don't think so. And it would be a good reason since MTP application is Samsung-specific. My firmware: XKE2.
Please let me know! Thanks!
And please don't vote if you have frozen your apps !

that's strange, but that's also counted as a part of "Android OS" I think, so it could be that (even though I don't have that!).

Hmm if it's that I would look a bit dumb with creating a thread for that ^^'. I installed it on advice from someone on this forum in Themes/apps section(here), and I though it wasn't bad because the rest of the apps seems to be correct with me /:.
Here is my usage. Its Android OS again... but look at the time since unplugged and the total power left (60%)!! I have used it quite a bit as well. Ive never had a smart phone that lasts so long.

The MTP makes a certain sense though. If you look in various events in the Autostarts app, it appears a lot.

Hi guys. I've opened this thread because I have a serious problem: deep sleep is not working on my HTC EVO 3D, the GSM version. I've tried many things, from changing roms to wiping data but nothing works. I'm asking you if you could help me and the other users who have this problem resolve this once and for all.
fdespotovski said:
So, here's my problem. After I unplug my phone from charging, deep sleep stops working. I've done many tests to prove this, so, I'm certainly sure that this is the problem that causes my battery to drain. But, after I reboot my phone, it suddenly starts behaving as normal. What causes it to malfunction? I'm using KingCobra 2.2 with Anryl 10.07 kernel on a GSM HTC EVO 3D. I also had this problem on LeeDroid 5.3 and 5.4 with LeeDroid kernels 5.3.8 and 5.4. Please help!!!

So far, so good. Deep sleep works, as system tuner says. I will charge it tomorrow and after I unplug it I will reset the system tuner stats and see what it says.

I am 90% sure it is one of the app that you install in every ROM. Maybe some kind of monitor that keeps checking something.
And Do you keep your data always on? Your phone might be trying to sync in every few hours/mins.

The best thing to do is to make a factory reset. Drain the battery to around 13 percent and then plug it in. When it reaches 100% remove it and leave it for around 10-20 minutes. After that wake your phone up and if the battery is still 100 or 99% the problem is gone and it was an app that was causing the problem. Just MAKE SURE YOU DON'T INSTALL ANY APPS FROM THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE OR FROM YOUR SD CARD. ESPECIALLY SYSTEM MONITORS. MAYBE THEY SOMEHOW CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I hope this helps.
Hi, Thanks
but this is not the solution i want ;-)
i am too lazy to make a factory reset and then install one app after another and check if it still got the problem.
(the easiest way ist with CPU-Spy - there u can watch how long it was in deep sleep)
so if anyone gut the solution without factory reset or a way to check which app causes how many percent of "android os"
please tell me / us
thanks

I'm not saying that you should install all apps one by one. I'm just saying that you should try the thing I mentioned above just to see if an app is causing the problem. Anyway, yesterday that problem occured to me once again. Now I'm really confused.

You should let your battery run down until it's almost dead and then show bbs stats.
Your phone is not sleeping properly because something is causing kernel wakelocks. You should Google those first 2 kernel wakelocks to try and find out what is causing them. The first one is related to apps and data usage. Use titanium backup to freeze rogue apps causing them.

Does anyone know how to track down which app or service in particular may be be causing it?
TIA! ;
Based on your earlier post you will probably ignore this:
Are you switching your 2g/3g data OFF when not using the phone?
If you leave it on, loads of apps have the chance to check for updates/synchronise
turn off auto updates, syncing, wifi, 3g and anything else related to accessing the net for information

I don't think you can actually find which app it is without freezing all your user apps and trying one by one, which would be a pain. You could try reflashing clean and reinstalling all your apps clean. Could just freeze any apps you think might be the culprit and try one by one to narrow it down. Could also use Tasker or some other app to better control your data so you are not always connected. I leave my data off at all times and only turn it on when I am doing something that needs it.

Thanks, I thaught as much when I mentioned trying to narrow it down to a particular app! I've turned data transfer off when not using the phone now & I must say that it's made a significant difference, but I still don't fully understand why it started eating my battery/data all of a sudden like that, when I didn't change anything on the phone but install JKays framework & deluxe settings prior to this problem !
I like to receive my emails which is one reason for keeping data turned on, & I usually have it on GSM only unless I use the net without Wi Fi when I'm out & about!
I suppose I can only try different fixes & try & work out the best solution specific to my use of the phone huh!?
Hello all,
After searching Google for a long time and do plenty of research here and in other forums, I do not really know now what to do with my Galaxy Nexus... It is frustrating to me not knowing what keeps my phone awake.
I have BBS installed and looked after partial wakelocks but can't find anything unnormal. Only when I go to Kernel Wakelocks I can see "PowerManagerService.WakeLocks" is really high. (1h 16m at current). The highest entry in Partial Wakelocks is "ConnectivityService" with 4m 43s.
I tried to disable the Wifi location, disable everything in Android Device Manager... But it didn't help. I really can't reproduce it because I don't know what is going on.
The only thing I remeber I was doing before I noticed the wakelock was trying to open Google+ App and Youtube App without internet connection.
It would be great if you can help me find out, what's going wrong here...
Thank you!

First of all what do you have turned on (Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, etc.). Second, what applications are you using to help/find battery issues (Greenify, Wake Lock Detector, Tasker, etc.). Without this information it's hard to tell you what is wrong.
Personally, I have bluetooth on all the time connected to my G Watch. Location is set to Battery Saver. I have Greenify installed and hibernating apps when the screen is turned off and using Tasker to control CPU speeds. My phone has been off the charger for about 7 hours and I am at about 88% battery left.

I've tried nearly everything I can think of and nothing stops this battery from killing itself very fast. Half a day on a charge is rediculous. I don't know what else to do.

Grab us the dump file from Better Battery Stats and we could help you out more. I get great battery life with my G3.
I use Greenify ,Lux , BT on most the time as well as Location. Typically my brightness is around 70% -80% as well.
I don't have all sorts of useless apps and widgets though, only 1 clock widget on the lock screen . and if I don't need an app I simply uninstall it....
Anyways grab that dump file from BBS if you'd like some help.

You could I suppose however I myself don't use that app. I don't use any of the GSam apps.
Grab BBS here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15869868
Install it and enable root features in the advanced tab and then let it run for a little while. Then on the main screen you'll see a "share" button and dump file will be already highlighted. Select that and it'll put the file on the root of your SDCard.
If you could upload that it will be more helpful. BBS is more useful in my opinion and gives better details than GSam.
Once you get used to using it.... You'll wonder why you weren't using it in the first place

Here's the file I hope it tells something
I was having the same issue. No matter what I did it just sucked and I'm no noob. I just did a flash back to stock using the 10b tot file and set everything back up and now it's great. Easily lasting twice as long. I also didn't reroot yet.

It's showing your phone was awake about 1.5 hours more than your screen on time.
msm_tsens_lock (): 4 h 20 m 38 s (15638 s)
Kept your phone awake for over 4 hours. Your other various wake locks don't look to out of control to me, you have quite a few that will add up but I don't see any rogue apps really.
msm_tsens_lock
Is to do with Thermal Sensor. My G3 has never had that kernel wake lock so I'm not 100% that's it's normal or not, could very well be?!
What I'd suggest though anyways is to clear your Caches and Dalvic ( can use an app from Store to do this easily ) then give your phone a day or two before judging battery life so the Caches can rebuild.
And reboot your phone once a day. Also what I've been doing lately is I have my phone set up so that when I " knock off" it uses Greenify to force Hibernation of my apps then locks the phone.
That can be done through any launcher that supports gestures , I use Nova.
If nothing seems to work, factory reset should do it, though i know that's annoying.
I'll keep looking at your dump file just to see if i missed anything, I've been looking through a few of them and my eyes hurt[emoji12]

I've seen your posts over and over and I think you should consider the possibility that you are unhappy with your life, not with your phones. Technology will never cure depression.
