Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my GT-i9300 with stock JB & stock kernel (I9300XXDLJ4), the battery drains too much fast while screen is off, even after all apps closed or cold start (if screen is on, battery drains abnormally fast as well). BBS shows lots of partial wakelocks named NetworkLocationLocator, and of course I have googled this and found an issue in AOSP issues list, but no solution. (sorry can't post links, issue #37348)
The only thing I can do to prevent early battery death is to go to Settings->Location and uncheck 'use wireless networks', but this is really bad for overall user experience. Things like latitude or google now are disabled.
I am attaching lots of screenshots that might help to understand my problem + BBS report and logs.
Thanks everyone in advance...
Mate, you know that there is an entire thread dedicated to better battery stats......... Search will probably lead to a resolution.

I have exatly the same issue. Search and search and nothing. already troubleshoot using BBS, the only way to do it is disable it or use an app that disconnects 3g and wifi and connects it every x minutes - like easy battery saver. the only thing I am amazed is that there are not so many reports about it...
will keep you posted since I keep troubleshooting.

It seems like I found the problem, at least on my phone. I have disabled SNS (Social Network Service or so, a weird app shipped with the stock rom by samsung) and also uninstalled the facebook app, looks like I don't have the issue since that. Battery has drained much less overnight today, and I don't see any location-related wakelocks in BBS. I'll try to find what exactly causes the problem
Can you please be more specific about this service? Where did you disable and what was the name of the app?
Thanks

It's under Settings->Application Manager. You have to swipe twice to the right in order to open 'All applications' tab there, and find SNS app, and then click 'Disable' button. The app's icon looks like Facebook logo (little f letter on blue background). Please let me know if it was helpful.. and don't forget to freeze/uninstall official facebook app
Thanks. Meanwhile I've remove and disable a lot of services, mainly from Samsung that I don't use and the battery drain is more stable when the device is on standby.

Well, have you noticed anything other than the services and battery drain? Maybe an in-/decrease of performance, or something else?
If you look on the Android *stock* battery stats app, you'll see, as soon as the screen is off, for the night, the data connection goes crazy with different signals and network modes. Have you tried putting the phone somewhere else at night, maybe just to see, whether that makes a difference? I'm guessing, you get fluctuations in your network, at night. That has happened to me, quite a lot, as I had my GS II (Telekom DE fixed it, though).
If that isn't the problem, then you've probably installed other third-party apps, that are causing this battery drainage, maybe they're collecting your user data, or something.
Anyways, hope I could help!

Yes I've been watching it. In resume:
1) if you activate use networks for location the battery drains even if none app request it.
2) there are a bunch of services mainly from Samsung that drains the battery just because they do.
3) if I leave my Wi-Fi off for the night it will drain 5% against 20% if I leave it on
Probably this one is because of weak Wi-Fi at my bedroom. Yes I've selected only when connected but even so the phone doesn't respect it.
4) if you have selected backup this phone to Google it will drain the battery also
5) I can have really good battery life if I disconnect Wi-Fi and data and connect it once in a while
But my point is why should I need to manage all this stuff? Why do I need to spend more time troubleshooting something instead of having fun with a new phone?
I've used juice defender, battery stats and a bunch of other applications just to conclude that android and Samsung are a piece of **** regarding power management.
And yes, Google now is disconnected and also history location.
If I wipe my phone and do not install anything, battery life is regular, as soon I start to install apps it will start to drain without apparently explication.
I have bought an extra battery and will live with it. I this it's just an os feature.
I've tried some custom rom's but all of them have problems, some because something doesn't work, others because developer didn't implement it, so I know if I want one good enough to suit my desires,I should cook it myself but I do not want to do it, so I came back always to official one.
And I do not have enough patience to undervolt or spend my nights tweaking something that should have work from out of the box.
This is my experience with my first android and I think this is why people always have complains about this system. I'm just going to live with it and accept the fact that this os have lots of defects that should not exist.
One thing is true: it is very frustrating from an user experience point off view.
Just my 2 cents
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I completely agree with you here. I don't know what exactly causes the problem, bugs with Samsung's software or bugs in Android itself - I don't care. The user experience is awful with this device.
I really considering getting an iPhone. iOS is built the way when regardless of amount apps installed and their quality the battery life is stable and decent. No app, maybe except VoIP, could drain battery if it's in the background or the screen is off. For me personally, all this Android's 'customizability' causes only decline in UX and battery life.
Ridiculously, there are lots of poor quality apps for Android that behave extremely bad, for example The Tribez game. It's a game, and I am expecting battery drain only when I'm playing (isn't it logical?), however, I do get drain caused by this app even if it's closed! That's ridiculous. I just bought an iPad version and I have absolutely no problems with it, moreover, it is running much faster on my dualcore tablet than on my cutting edge quad core phone. Of course, this is just an awful job porting the game from iOS to Android, but I'm sure, mostly this is problem with Android itself. This is the _mobile_ OS, and it must not allow any app behave like this (like iOS does, it kills badass processes almost instantaneously). I'm sorry Android fanboys, but your lovely OS is a poor quality product.
I've already said too much, but again, I don't want to think if my WiFi or anything else is turned off, I want to use my handset. I think you get my point.

I know battery saver apps are fairly popular on phones. For a long time, I used Juice Defender Ultimate on my phones. I have since switched to GreenPower Premiere. I think these apps do a fairly good job but I have not been able to determine whether they are more effective than the stock battery manager / saver included in ICS. Any thoughts on that? What about the "battery saver" included with Norton Utilities Mobile?
More importantly, do you use a battery saver app on your TF300 or other tablet? I have never tried it but I would like to find a few solutions that will extend my battery life so I don't have to worry about charging all the time. Admittedly, I have several chargers (home, work, and a spare to take with me wherever) but I would like to maximize my battery life so I am not constantly looking for an outlet.
Let me know your thoughts and opinions. Gracie!

No, I personally find those apps unhelpful and does nothing
I use at the moment Greenify *ROOT*.
But just to test purposes. I can not say whether Greenify * ROOT * working properly until now.
I am thrilled by the Snapdragon ™ Battery Guru (beta). The app I use on my EVO 3D. Will not work on our tablet.
Personally, I stay away from them too. You can take a few seconds and do what most of them do yourself. Then you don't have to worry about the battery saver app pulling unneeded juice. Just get in the habit of disabling features you don't need when you're not using them.
I guess they would help out a person who doesn't know their way around the tablet and its settings or is just lazy. lol

For that you will need xposed framework on your device. If you buy the paid app for Greenify. It comes with an option known as " Experimental Features". Select that, in the settings you will find an option known as "Greenify System Apps". You can enable that, and other features once you have followed what the app "Greenify" ask you to do, such as enabling modules etc. Good luck, hopefully I helped.
Or this xposed module: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nlpunbouncer-xposed-module/
Helped on my Nexus 5, Google Play Services was pretty much draining most battery for me
Over the past couple days I've noticed this as the top partial wakelock on my device. This seems to be at least partially coincident with info propagating across the internet about Google games. There is an apparent associated wake alarm, which ends in .Gms.
While these aren't insanely bad wakelocks, they are irritating to me as I'm not sure where they are coming from. The number of wake alarms from this is pretty aggressive... Previous to this maps was my most aggressive waker by a large margin, and this new one is twice as aggressive as maps.
Is anyone else seeing these? Anyone have any insight as to the source?

No, but I have seen com.google.gms implicated in recent Google Play Services updates, in reference to the upcoming game center-thing Google is launching, so That could potentially have something to do with it.

Is been around for a few days... I think it is being caused by updates to background Google services, but I'm not sure. Since I don't know what's causing it, chasing it down by freezing stuff or using greenify odd going to take time. I haven't had that time yet. So I am living with it for now.

This sounds very much like the aggregated Network Location Provider that was introduced in the I/O Keynote?? Or is this something different?
It's supposed to use far less power not more... :what: It got a very good reception from the crowd tho.

Could be. I haven't had really any time to chase this yet. But for grins, I installed the app AutomateIt, which if I understand correctly takes advantage of some of those new Google features. I turned on a couple options in the app to trigger things "when in a vehicle". I subsequently saw more of this wakelock.

Sounds like it to me too. And yeah, it probably does use less power than the old default way of doing location services. Our problem is that we have tuned our phones to avoid location services as much as possible, and now we are getting them again.
I'm sure someone will figure out the best way to tame it... or we may find out it's battery-friendly enough to actually use location services now

It may be battery friendlier than the old location services - it doesn't seem particularly drain inducing to me - but it is running on top of the old location services (I haven't noticed any reduction in wakelocks from them) so it does result in some additional drain.

Yeah, I was under the impression that it's kind of up to the apps to actually USE the new service. If they still go about things the old way then the new service doesn't help anything.
I posted the following on my own thread but I'll be moving my discussion here because it's pretty much the same thing.
I noticed recently that I have two Google related networking services running constantly. They are GoogleLocationService and NetworkLocationService. Are both necessary? I remember only one was there before the new Google Services update. I also have noticed an increase in Android OS under Battery usage and a slight decrease in battery life. I think the two maybe related. Anyone have some insight?
Click to expand...

I think the issue is that the old service and the new service are running simultaneously and is negatively impacting battery instead of saving like what was promised with the new service. Maybe we need to find a way to remove/freeze the old service.
Hi all,
I love my DNA (stock) and I haven't had any issues until the past couple of weeks, when I noticed that my phone started draining battery much more quickly than normal without me changing my usage habits. I'm consistently draining about 10% per hour even when I just pull it out of my pocket every hour or so to check notifications. I've also noticed sluggish behavior as well (lag when unlocking especially).
I got the Wakelock Detector app to see what was causing me issues, but I'm pretty new to it--I'm not sure what is normal and what is a problem. I've disabled a lot of my location services as a result, but that doesn't seem to have solved anything as of yet, which is why I'm posting.
I'm attaching a few screenshots from WLD so you can see what I've got going on. Android System looks awful, but I don't want to disable backup (I like having my app choices and such saved, and don't want to lose them). What should I really chase after to get this draining issue solved?

There's a known issue with Google services causing drain, its been mentioned in a few places around here, it started with an update a little while ago. You can try removing updates if it let's you, may help, or just have to wait out an update to correct it. I think for now disabling all of the location stuff helps.

you could also try the newly released Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru.
If you can I would change kernels. crpalmer's kernel fixed my wakelock issues. I had a maps issue related to location services and disabled maps in Titanium Backup and then later I had wakelock issues that I couldn't pin down but switching to crpalmer's kernel fixed it for me.

This app looks great! I'll certainly give it a try. I used JuiceDefender on my old Droid Charge and it helped (back in 2011), but I don't think the app is maintained any more.
I'll let you know if it helps.
I have a theory, which may be wrong, is that apps set up all sorts of events that the system tracks and acts upon. As a result, when tracking CPU usage and wake locks, it is often hard to find the culprit behind most of the activity because it registers under system processes rather than directly from the offending app.
So the solution may be to do a factory reset (which is painful) or just freeze some apps to see what difference it makes.

That itself causes wakelocks and is 90% placebo effect.
Having same issue and it is definitely Google. I use Google Maps a lot so disabling location renders it useless. Bad deal since its killing my battery.

If so, this is the best placebo effect ever. Once BatteryGuru trained for 2 days, my battery life has improved dramatically, back to where it used to be (if not better). My phone now can enter deep sleep for longer than 2 minutes over a 10 hour period.
I did see that BatteryGuru was the cause of additional wakelocks, but my real cause for concern was the lack of deep sleep.
I can now make it through a 16 hour day without getting range anxiety.

It isn't mentioned in this thread and is a really important recent development. The new play store solves the excessive drains that google play services was having. I've seen mentioned in a few posts above some issues that will be solved by installing the new play store.
The problem I had with battery guru was that it required turning location services on. Since I normally don't run location services unless I need them, having to enable them for the battery savings app to run kind of negates the purpose of the app. It would be nice to hack it up and delete the business that requires location services.
For the poster above who wasn't getting deep sleep, I would try removing battery guru, solve the deep sleep problem and then reinstall battery guru, it might make your battery life even mo betta.
The G2 has a fantastic battery already, why not make it even better?
I like to see how far I can push this phone's battery. In no way does that mean that you need too as well, but for those of you that do want a few more hours or another day, I'm happy to share what I've learned.
After I've spent time learning the quirks of this phone, and most of its respective ROMs, I've come up with quite a few tricks for improving battery life, some specific to this phone, some just in android general. I now get average 3-4 days battery life, when I use the phone quite often during the day all day long.
It is your personal preference on how much of android's background services that you use compared to apps. This is only suggestions for the users that want to improve battery life.
Heres some of the simplest questions you can ask yourself when you go through the settings center:
Do I really need this feature enabled? Do I use it often? Even if I do occasionaly use it, is it that much of a pain to just turn on when I need it?
Do I really need GPS on 24/7? How often do I really use GPS?
How many apps do I need running in the background?
Do I need to keep autobright on, or keep the screen super bright?
That being said, here are some of the simple things that Ive done.
I keep everything off unless I use it every day.
I keep GPS off 24/7, I never use it.
Out of habit, I always close all apps.
I keep autobright off and keep the screen on 14 brightness. Unless Im right outside in the sun its easy to see, and if I am I can just turn it up with the quick setting.
Some of the more advanced stuff I do, that completely varies on your ROM:
Go through all the system apps and freeze anything you dont use. Example being the Picasa uploader (for me at least).
Leave as little system services running as you need. You wouldent believe how many unneeded services android runs. On the stock roms there are TWO location daemons running.
Currently Im using CleanROM, I switch between it and Cyanogen about once a week, just cant make up my mind on stability v. features, but on CleanROM, some of the stuff I have currently froze
Nearly anything involving Verizon, the carrier APKs are massive bloatware.
I disabled a lot of google services, some people may rely on these, personally I dont, the biggest two google apps I use are chrome and Gmail.
If your on a stock based ROM, disable the LG services you dont use. Textlink wastes a huge amount of power, as does QSlide.
(This applies alot more to carrier based roms than it does Cyanogen/AOSP, but even they do have a few unneccesary servcices.) Be careful when you are touching system services, if you dont know what one does, a google on its function is helpful.
Use a different launcher. Excluding the stock google launcher, most factory launchers are very inefficient, LG Home is no exception. Personally, I use SmartLauncher, a very light and very nice looking launcher with a fantastic layout. Nova I know is very light on resources aswell.
The more widgets you have cluttering your screen, the more power they will waste.
I can personally confirm myself that Kitkat based roms have incredible battery life after they settle in for a few days, the kernel level improvements brought with KitKat are very noticable. Currently Gummy Rom and three CM11 builds exist for KitKat, why not give them a try?
If you have unusually high battery usage, check your wakelocks, and see what exactly is using all the power, and you can disable/turn it off and remove that battery drain.
On a final note, comeon guys turn your phones off at night. I have yet to hear a good reason to leave it running over night, all it does is waste power and most commonly let the notification light run for 8 hours. If you use your phone as a alarm, you could turn on airplain mode overnight.
These are just some of the things that I do, if you have any more suggestions, feel free to post them or message me, I'll be glad to add them to the list.
I do not own this device but whats the point of turning all the feature of your phone off just to get a couple more hours out of it just use it like you should and stop worrying too much...

I'll say this again, not everyone is aware of some of the lower level services that android runs that are completely pointless and cause a lot of wakelocks. This drills some's battery life down to 8hrs or less, which they then complain about. You would be surprised at the amount of stuff I have enabled.

So u should make a thread to bring out list junk apps of android. That is more helpful.

GPS is not pointless, it uses for Facebook, navigation, weather update, yelp and a lot of apps.. what you deem is pointless is different than everyone...your reason to own a smartphone is seriously wrong in so many ways...just saying man but its your money.
Honestly people should just enjoy the phone rather than trying to make it last longer. If your phone can make it through the day then consider that a successful phone.
I assumed everyone used their phone as an alarm. I never turn my phone off subsequently.
Some nice hints for someone needing more battery; however, I disagree with your assertion that closing applications saves power. Assuming you need to open the application again it would make sense to leave the application running (idle) in cached ram.

Instead of turning it OFF for the night, turn ON Aeroplane mode. That consumes less energy, than a turn off and on. This also solves the alarm problem, and no email or whatsoever shall wake you up at while you sleep

It completely depends on how often said application is opened, and what it does while idle. I know out of hand while I'm at work I see several people with 3-4 games left open on their phone, this is more what I was reffering too.

Go through all the system apps and freeze anything you dont use. Example being the Picasa uploader (for me at least).
Leave as little system services running as you need. You wouldent believe how many unneeded services android runs. On the stock roms there are TWO location daemons running.

Could you list all the stuff you freeze? I'd appreciate more specific examples, thanks

I wrote this late last night, so I didnt have time to look through the list of everything I froze, but I'll add it to the OP in the next few minutes since I have a few free moments.
