Hello Guys!
I'm currently trying to have my hero in sleep mode most of the time. the big problem seems: when the screen is turned off (its like partial wake or something, i'm sorry i have the german version "teilwachzustand") my phone is actually 70-80% active of the time.
I determine this with the program spareparts. sadly it's not a specific app, it's just "android system" i reckon that this includes processes running and widgets etc. i haven't found a programm that watches which processes drain the energy.
A friend of mine has a stock samsung android also with spareparts, and his has a 10 percent active time when the phone screen is turned off.
So is the Hero (MODACO 3.1) just the way it is of do i have a bad widget or program running causing this permanent use of the phone?
(i have beautiful widgets (only the vibrate button and clock), astrid list, and mostly apps)
i tried one night loading an empty scene no widgets at all. and still phoneusage 70% .....
i am aware that processes are running, but not apps....
it seems that the "fring" process is running even if the autostart is deactivated and no inscance of the app is actually running.
also "saymyname" which i use to recieve calls.
if it helps i can list all of the running processes here. maybe there is a programm that is know for such issues.
thanks for your help in advance!
Yes. That sounds like partial wake-lock. (Teilwachzustand)
I didn't like Fring since it seemed to run constantly. Try uninstalling it temporarily and see if that helps. I don't know about saymyname, but why not give it a try with it uninstalled and see. If it helps, my partial wakelock usage is probably nearer 5%/10% on Android System, and that was with some pretty heavy usage and running stuff in the background. Normally it's a bit less for me.
HTH
Thanks for the Reply!
i've uninstalled taskpanel and removed my taskkiller app from the desktop and it seemes that the problem is solved 5-10% usage. (i use the taskkiller part from astro filemanager now)
I'm happy that the problem is solved.... (a pity though, because taskpanel really did make the handling very smoothly...)
For those people out there who have battery related issues, this might be the final place you will be searching for..
As I was one of the zillion users who was facing the problem of the battery drain on my HTC one after the update to 4.4.2, I found out that for some of you who have ARHD 53 rom and stock kernel, The battery drain will be because of the sensors remaining active through out.
I have been facing this problem form quiet some time and searching here and there for the solution..But I couldnt find one after a lot of searching. I thought I will start my own research what exactly is the app or service that is keeping the sensors on all the time..
Here are the apps you will need for the process..
1. Wakelock Detector :- This is one of the most widely used app of all the time that help with situation like this..
2. Greenify(Pro Version) :- Another Awesome app that hibernates the application when the screen is off.. Make sure you have the pro version of the app because the free version wont allow you to hibernate the system apps.
3. Battery Monitor Widget :- This is a battery monitoring app. There are many out there but this is one of m favorite and who actually helped me to solve the problem.
You device should be rooted for this process..
Steps:-
1. First see if any app is waking up now and then when the screen is off using wakelock detector.
2. Greenify that app and see the changes.
3. If you find some its good or else try freezing that app(NON SYSTEM) through Titanium backup or any other app. See if that improves battery life.
4. Now for the system apps. There may be some apps which may be taking the juice out of your battery. Do this very carefully because you dont wanna delete any important app form the system either by greenify or by freezing it.
5. Simultaneously monitor the usage of the battery through battery monitor widget and See if there is anything that is using a lot of it..
6. Follow the above steps till you dont see any considerable app usage in the battery monitor widget app..
I am attaching a file showing the the sensor which is still eating up my battery..I had once all the sensors on no matter is the screen is on or off..
Share your ideas as well..
Got a UK 3 phone provider Galaxy S3 with 4.3 (Kernel version 3.0.31-2429075) as provided by my provider untouched.
Oddly the screen switches on from time to time as its just sitting there on the sofa.
(Also when I plug in or take out the charging cable it powers on the screen. But that's probably considered a 'feature')
But in the main the problem is it switching the screen on when it likes during my working day.
Anyone know how to stop this behaviour?
I've looked in the various apps I use, like Facebook. But can't see any notifications that mentions powering up the screen.
Motion, Voice control and Smart Screen is turned off,
Your phone is full of bloat that keeps waking the screen, you probably have really poor battery life to.
In app manager try to disable the apps you never use, get greenify for the ones you do.

Many thanks for that 'boomboomer'. :good:
Didn't know I could disable Apps I never use.
I'll need to give that a go. Samsung and Google does provide Apps I never use! :crying:
I do keep a lot of Apps on it. But most are only used once a week or rarely.
On a side point.
Any way I can stop Google Play from updating apps during the day when it's not charging? It just needs to try to auto-update 5+ apps at once and it slows to a crawl if the 3G/Wi-Fi connection is slow. Be nice if it could do it late at night when its charging.

yes ,open play store ,go into settings and disable auto update when wifi/3g is on . After that you can update manually your apps and you will get notifications when update is available .

Thanks for that. Yes, I knew that. I do want it to auto-update. Just not during the working day. Seems to take just one app to not update correctly and I get a queue of them waiting for that one to update!
Best if it was done during the night IMHO.
I've had the phone since the beginning of December. Right since then, I have had battery drain no matter what. In the first days I experienced it even overnight, I am pretty sure with airplane mode activated....
Later on, I wiped the cache from the recovery mode, didn't fix it. I used that 'GService fix' kind of magical app that everybody said it fixed their problems...it didn't fix mine. I performed a hard reset and I did not restore the google account apps, instead I manually downloaded only the apps that I really needed.
There is no apparent pattern on when the battery drain starts: I would find my phone hot and very rapidly discharging (if not already discharged), battery temp hot and cpu temp hot. I disabled all google now functions, I disabled GPS, at first I disabled only some google functions (kept only google keep, calendar and contacts on automatic sync)....but then a couple days ago I disabled the whole automatic sync. Battery still drained without using the phone.
I had read that one reason why google service would take so much battery would be having multiple accounts, or having some problems related with google play games and its sync. I do have games installed on my phone, and they require google play games to work, so that one is installed on the device but I also read that 'people details' under google account settings is relevant to the google play games sync. And in any case as I already said, the whole automatic sync has been disabled in the past 2 days, yet today the phone drained the battery while in my pocket.
I cannot understand what is going on. I am using GSAM to try to monitor things, but till now I have only been able to understand when was the battery drain starting and when was it stopping. I never found the reason. If I choose 'since screen off' on GSAM, I can see that it is again google play services taking most of the battery.
I can see with those softwares (3c toolbox, GSAM) some things, many of them I don't understand and some of them I don't even know how to set. It's pretty useless to know that suddenly my cpu goes high in clock and keeps 90/100% load if I don't know why. There is no rogue app, otherwise it would show on top, right? I can provide these two screenshots:
http://i.imgur.com/wPgGlu7.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/9hbVG0I.jpg
First screenshot: I had the phone on my desk since 2 days or so. Wifi on, no gps, no sync. I went out around 12:00 and that seems to be exactly the time when the battery drain started. If I choose in GSAM 'since screen off', google services is on top of the list. Unfortunately this cannot be very much relate with mobile data or so, because I have experienced battery drain even with airplane mode or at home with wifi enabled. Second screenshot: I don't know what to make of those packages......
I know that other people with the Axon 7 had the same problem, I googled a lot, didn't solve anything.....and I also know that anyway on any phone this can happen. I had very randomly the same problem on the Nexus 5 but never gave it too much attention because it wasn't too bothering, it was happening every once in a while, but with this Axon 7 I am touching it every 10 minutes to see if it's burning hot or not, constantly afraid to take it out of the pocket and find it with 10% left of battery.....
Had battery drain issues and exchanged my phone under warranty. Now all is good.

Assuming you're rooted, install betterybatterystats (search for it on xda). Use the phone as you normally would. After 6-12 hours, look at the results. It should give you an idea of what's keeping the phone awake.
Here the same problem. Irregular at intervals of 1-2 days. New installation of Google Play services no change. Restart helps only a short time.
The problem:
Cpu %
34 com.google.android.gms.persistent
04 com.google.android.gms
01 com.google.android.gapps

yes! same thing with me. Google Backup Transport process fires up and eats battery for no reason. Doesn't matter if backup is enabled or disabled, I also disabled appdata sync. I posted two or 3 times in this community group as well:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1421198214846418/permalink/1431610953805144/
What rom are you using?
stock, didn't change anything and to be honest should not need to (and not even want to).
My plan: try to find a solution. Good that at least I nailed it to the process (google backup transport - gms.persistent etc etc) and can research from there. I already found tons of people who had the same problems with tons of different devices and even android version (just google com.google.android.gms.persistent battery drain and you'll find the forums full of threads....of course everybody fixed it in the most different ways, none of which worked for me till now).
2nd plan: wait for the nougat update at the end of the month and see what happens
3rd plan: change device (warranty).
I am aware it is not a hardware problem, it must be some loop in the sync (but it happens even with sync off) or a bug in google services.
Hmmm, could you say you "just can't sleep" over it?
Sorry folks, friday post
Batter Battery Stats is usually a very good way to check for rogue apps, tho.

caused by what? By the way This is my update screen, why is it showing B04 and still saying that it is up to date? I have auto updates and I also checked manually but it says it is up to date.

5 days?? How much do you actually use the phone??
I don't know what was the cause. It was either a loop fail backup of google photos, or the update from B04 to B08 fixed it. No more drain, battery easily lasts 2 days without heavy use of the phone.

:laugh: 5 days without reboot. 2 days with one load. 8 hours display time at 24 usage.
All the US stock firmwares have the battery drain. It's usually google backup transport or google persistent gms. A reboot will fix it usually, but it will occur again later... Battery life is fine other than those 2. Let's hope lineage will be ok.
Real head scratcher this one!!
RN3 pro SD650 practically had it since day one of its release
Was using CM 13/14 and radon kernel all along
Always used to boast to all of my friends as i would regularly get 8-10 hours screen on time
Currently on the 03/29 build of LOS (TheStrix), radon 4.3, greenify
Getting 2-3 hours screen on time, i am a light user i dont use any social media apps
I have noticed this since jumping on the Nougat upgrade
Apps installed: Adaway, magisk, chrome, greenify, ES file pro, google maps, sdmaid pro, Mihome (camera at home)
Phone idle and LineageOS System are consuming 30% of the battery between themselves
I use my phone as i have always used it, have not changed anything apart from using magisk whereas previously i used the built in root with CM
I am not a new user who needs simple advice, I hopefully can figure out what is happening in the background
I dont really want to install a wakelock detector etc
I have even tried to reset app preference in the hope that will help
Whereas usually i would have a straight line on my battery graph with the slight dip now it is a constant dip
Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Install wakelock detector see if anything stands out. Are the CPU's going into deep sleep? That sort of drain says otherwise.
