Since i'm playing with amplify and power nap on my asus ze551ml (lollipop 5.0 with boret's kernel), i faced the following:
When the screen is off, the device doesn't go to sleep mode, or at least i think so.
I'm doing my testing with telegram; i said to amplify to limit his alarms to 1 every 10 minutes, and it is working fine undernight (BBS confirms that)
Now i'm even trying Power Nap, which is supposed to completely stop Telegram (and others).
Anyway, if i put the screen off, and then send a message to my telegram account, the phone still receives it almost instantly (3 seconds delay).
This clearly means that telegram is still active and kicking, it is not using any wakelock, it is alive all the time.
But, i repeat, it works overnight (Better battery stats confirms that amplify is limiting his alarms).
Another strange thing, is that i've configured com.asus.powersave to disable wifi as soon as the device enters sleep state, but when i wakeup my phone in the morning and see the BBS statistics from "screen off" to "screen on", it shows that wifi has been active for more than 18 minutes, so here's the question:
Is there a time/timeout to wait after one tunr off the screen for the phone to enter in standby/sleep mode?
And if yes, is that time configurable?
Thanks.
I made a test that confirmed what BBS said; i turned the screen off and start to ping my android wifi ip.
After about 18 minutes (that's the time BBS said wifi was active after the whole night), it stopped responding to pings and telegram of course wasn't workling anymore.
Is it possible to change that timeout to something lower?

I keep it on sleep mode and the next day may battery is fully spended can anyway tell me why or how to prevent this?
Thats a known problem (just in the newest firmware)
I would install Urukdroid
No it is not.
in 100% of the cases an App is holding the Archos from going into deep sleep.
Just check that wifi can sleep, no Sync is on, mail, facebook or other inet apps are not holding connections.
I usually just keep it in Airplane mode, and only turn on the WiFi when I need it. This has helped with the power use problem.
I tried setting it to deep sleep, but I found that it would invariably crash when asleep (or when waking up--I don't know which).
I just turn my wifi off and put mine into Deep Sleep. I can leave it for days and the battery only drains a few percent (usually ~1-3% per day).
Some app must be waking your device, and causing the drain.
Installing UrukDroid is not the answer to all problems. I know some people here seem to think so, but there are bugs there too.
I'm not trying to knock UrukDroid at all, or the work that Sauron has done, but just switching your OS is not the best answer.
Archos 101 IT + UrukDroid 1.6.4
When the tablet is off (sleeping), my local DHCP server gets DHCP requests from the tablet every minute. The power led briefly lits when it wakes up.
When I switch the tablet on, the first thing it does is drop the WiFi connection and re-establishes it.
This seems higly illogical. Also, when I have networking applications running when I switch the tablet off, these apps crash or malfunction when I switch it on again.
Did I overlook a specific setting to avoid this?
I think that when you turn it on, the WiFi connection has already been dropped, but the indicator hasn't been updated yet. It then notices that the connection is down, updates the indicator, and re-connects. I'm not sure about the DHCP requests every minute. You can check in the System Monitor's Alarms tab what's waking your device that often; my guess is that the system figures it'll try to reconnect now that it's woken up, but it doesn't stay awake long enough to establish a useful connection.
I don't think there's really anything you can do to avoid this in general; it's just the way Android power management works. What you can do if you really want is to install an application that will hold a partial wake lock for you. As long as the wake lock is held, the device will never completely go to sleep; the screen will turn off (for a partial wake lock), but the network connection won't be dropped. Of course, this will consume much more power than letting your device sleep normally. I use this when I know I'm going to be intermittently using my tablet for a while (like when I'm cooking) and don't want to keep waiting for the network connection to come back up.

That could very well be the case.

Whenever I switch it on, there's always an alarm scheduled for Android System for the next minute.
I like keeping my wifi on while my screen is asleep so that I can receive chat messages or e-mails without being at my computer. I never had this problem while running ICS on an unrooted TF201, but ever since I installed the upgrade to JB my wifi will always disconnect after the screen has been asleep for a few minutes. I've checked every setting I can think of. In the Wifi Advanced menu, I have it set so Wifi is always on, and in the ASUS customized setting I have Disconnect network during sleep to off. Under Power Saver I have Enable low battery settings off, set Low battery level to 0%, and even set Wifi OFF to off. Despite all of this, it seems like the tablet under JB goes into some sort of deep sleep and disconnects the wifi after about 5 minutes of inactivity.
I have noticed that this problem does not occur when the screen is on. I also have the dock, and set the screen to always on during meetings in the event that I don't need to enter any notes for a few minutes so I don't have to fool with any delays from screen wake .
Is there some setting I'm missing? Is it a hidden setting that I could access by rooting? Or am I dealing with something internal to the build that I can't change at all? This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but it has become one of my main uses for the tablet when I'm at home. I'm very disappointed with JB so far even though the wifi does feel more responsive on the Prime after the update (when it's not sleeping, of course!).
EDIT: I noticed this evening that the wifi turns off even when I'm running something that uses it while the screen is off. I was listening to Pandora, and about 5 minutes after the screen went off, my music stopped. When I turned the screen back on, I saw that the wifi had indeed become disconnected.
hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my tablet. I have checked every option, I did a factory reset several time, I have checked it on 2 different routers but it is still disconnecting the wife when it goes in the sleep modus. Did you or anyone else find a solution?
I'VE FOUND A WORKAROUND of this no-push-notif during deep sleep problem.
Earlier, I tried holding partial wakelock so the device never sleep, this of course works alright, but drains battery very rapidly (5% / 30mins).
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
So, I tried something else :
automatically waking up the device regularly every 30mins, with the help of Tasker (which doesn't turn on the screen at all).
The result is :
7 hours after screen off and a good night sleep, in the morning I sent myself a BBMsg and it arrived perfectly in about 5 secs.
Battery consumption is totally acceptable : only 4% drop during 7 hours (dual sim ON, data ON).
That's days ago, and still works perfectly until now, I'm happy with it, so I'd like to share the AWESOMENESS.
I'm not sure about push notif from Google servers via GCM, I don't use any app which takes advantage of GCM, I only use BBM which uses its own servers.
In this case, you should first try adjusting heartbeat interval using PushNotificationFixer (which can't help me since it only resends heartbeat to Google server).
Tasker setup :
1. create new profile : Time
* uncheck both start & end time (so it starts and ends from midnight to midnight)
* check Repeat : every 6 minutes (during deep sleep, this 6 mins expands 5x to 30 mins)
2. add new task :
what you do in this task doesn't really matter, the point is to do something in a regular interval (I only use Alert Morse, so I know that the profile is still running)
GODSPEED !!!!
PS. :
if you're not familiar with Tasker, after installation you have to :
1. allow it as admin (system Settings > Device Administrators)
2. turn on its service (system Settings > Accessibility)
3. put it on auto-start list
I opened this thread in the Infuse section and got very little feedback probably due to lack of activity.
My Infuse 4G is always on Airplane Mode with Wifi turned on. I use it as a secondary device and like an iPod Touch/Media Player. However, even if Airplane Mode is on, the number one drainer of battery is Cell Standby at like 40%. Also, the phone never enters deep sleep and Android OS constantly keeps the device awake. As a result, from a 100%, the phone is dead within 8 hours. There has got to be some sort of fix for this. I'm running the latest Beanstalk 4.4.285.
P.S. I have entered AppOpps and denied the permissions to wake up and stay awake to the following apps: Google Search, Google Play Services and Android System.
