has anyone else noticed that if you go to the battery usage on the S4G it shows the phone as always awake? check the graph. it's really strange!
perhaps this could be linked to some of our heat/battery issues? the phone is not sleeping correctly?
You have a rogue program that isn't shutting down. Now you need to figure out what it is.
When I had this it was VTOK since that program never shut off.
Go to Settings> Applications> Running Services and look at the times that everything has been running and try to figure out which one doesn't belong
HTC watch can be a culprit too

I practically uninstalled every application that had an associated service, disabled everything from startup that I could find and the issue persists.
The only way I can get it to not be always awake is if I disable data completely... not background data, or autosync, but all data. no 3G, no 4G, no Wifi, nothing.
As soon as wifi comes on, I get a "sync" circle in my status bar (despite the fact that all sync is disabled on my phone), and the problem returns. The only active connections are to Google IPs (as shown by a netstat from the terminal), looks like gtalk/market ports...
I'm stumped.
I'm going to update the market, see if that helps.
EDIT: it didn't.
Just an update:
Downloaded ATK from the market, there seems to be a lot running for a phone I just rebooted.
I killed everything one-by-one, none of them made the sync icon go away.
There was only one that I could not kill... Watch.
... it also has a service that will not die either....
but if it's watch, surely someone else out there has the same issue?
HTC watch was the issue with mine, it took some time until i figured it out

it was. I disabled the account and rebooted a few times.... I'm good now.
very strange. And for some reason, when someone said "watch" I thought of a clock.... ha. that wasn't any help.
No, the video application. turned out to be the culprit. ffs.

I'm using Facebook for Android and people that posts pictures in the news feed all I see is an empty box and when I click on it, the picture tries to load and all i see is a black screen. If I go into manage applications and clear data/cache it usually fixes the issue but goes right back the next time I open facebook. Does anyone else experience this or know how to correct this issue?
Not sure what's going on. Mine's working just fine. Always has. The only issue I have is with opening notifications (sometime's requires a double tap or even a triple tap, and I don't get the same notifications as I do on my laptop). But as far as your issue goes, maybe try uninstalling and re-installing it? Could have possibly been a bad download, maybe. I've had that happen before. An app wasn't working right, so I took it off and then put it back on, and it worked fine.

I just noticed that when I go to app settings from my computer I don't see that Facebook for Android is listed in there so maybe the permissions aren't set up correctly? Can someone please verify if the app is listed there or not?
I already tried to uninstall/reinstall no success.
The facebook app for android has always been a FLAMING pile of trash. It has gotten slightly better over the years, but not by much. It's about the only think blackberry has a step up on android with lol. It's always SOMETHING with that app. The latest for me is i will get notifications, but then when i click on the status or whatever that the update happened in, i have to hit refresh to actually get it to show what was posted. GARBAGE.
Yeah, the app its terrible. I've recently learned that deleting a post is possible, but only if you swipe the post left a certain way.
Regardless, I just use dolphin and go to the website directly using desktop UA.
Ever since i posted here about my issues Facebook has been running flawless

Installed Beans 8 recently and Ive been having my phone be awake at precise intervals overnight. it seems like every 15 minutes. Ive checked my settings and cant find anything that I wouldve done to cause it. Ive neverhad this issue. btw, im running KT747 kernel
aynway, I bought and installed betterbattrystats after searching for help. Im at a loss at the moment. The readings are a little too advanced for me. I dont know the difference between a good wake up and a bad one. Are there common causes for this?
Is there a better way to narrow this down? I deleted the apps I dont use hoping that one was rogue and doing this, but I dont think thats it. The only thing I could think of off the top of my head was that I recently upgraded to nova prime and i am using the unread counter that Nova uses. could that be scanning for notifications constantly?
Any help appreciated. I love this ROM. its by far my favorite taht ive flashed so far, i dont want to flash somethign else. Im sure its something I did.
thanks in advance. If its neccesary ill post up my Betterbatterystats tomorrow after I run through a charge cycle during the day tomorrow.
bumping this up for screen shots. I put this down before i went to bed, and checked when i woke up. I set an alarm before going to sleep, thats all i did. i think my phone being awake has to do with the maps app. how can i control this? ive never had this happen before?
GPS has been off and googles location service is all that I keep on. it looks like its updating at regular intervals. is this google now? Its not a huge drain, but its enough that ive noticed it. any help appreciated.
in the meantime, i cleared data/cache, uninstalled and reinstalled maps.
That looks pretty normal. You may want to post the better battery stats info, it may help. Also for location waking your phone up, open maps, go to settings, location settings and disable report location from this device.

I am too lazy to type everything. Download gscript from the play store and create a script that mirrors the picture. Save and run it. Once it completes there will be a txt file on /sdcard so open it up and sift through the entries till you find a line that says Alarm Stats. After that line just see if any entries have a large number beside alarms

When connected to wifi at my home, the orange "download" arrow is always on. I've had this phone for 6 months with no issue, but all of a sudden this started happening yesterday (right after the phone also fried my external SD card). I have tried resetting the router, turning off all computers/devices in the house, and returning to stock/installing a new ROM, but it's always the same. I installed a traffic monitoring app and within a few minutes there has been 300+ KB of "system traffic," which doesn't exactly help me.
There's a few topics around XDA and other sites about this, but almost all of them are from the ICS days. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this on JB and if they ever found a solution.
Could you capture it in a screenshot and post it?

Yes.
Hmm, wonder what that could be. And you say it doesn't go away? Even after a reboot or if you toggle wifi off/on? In Settings/Account, do you have any sync option that hasn't finished a sync? It would have an arrow going in a circle which means it needs to sync or there would be an exclamation mark. Basically, each option should just have the name on the left and either a checked box or unchecked box to the right.

It does go away... kind of. Basically, the orange "download" arrow is showing about 80% of the time (I'd estimate 8 out of every 10 seconds). The green "upload" arrow appears briefly; probably half a second for every 10 seconds.
I've rebooted many times and turned wifi on/off many times. Nothing changes. Stock ROM, CleanROM, Synergy, etc... no difference.
In settings->accounts, I only have Dropbox (sync disabled), Facebook (sync disabled), and Google (all options either have checkmarks or no checkmarks; there are no rotating arrows or red exclamation marks).

Do you think setting your wifi to a static IP address would affect anything? Also, do you mind taking screenshots at various points in the day using that wifi scanning app you used earlier? Maybe a screenshot every four hours then post them tomorrow or the day after you read this post so we can see if anything is constantly using up the most data. Another off the cuff suggestion, do you use Picasa Sync at all? I'm thinking this is either an app specific issue or something with your specific router.
Edit: Also, I never actually look at my download arrow when I'm connected to wifi. I just want to get that out there as well. I just stared at it for about a minute and my download arrow lights up once every 5 to 8 seconds when I have auto sync enabled. So if ten seconds pass, it will be unlit for roughly four to six seconds quite often. This should be a baseline I suppose to compare.

I could take screenshots periodically, but unfortunately the wifi scanning app only lists everything as "system data" without any specifics. I don't use Picasa Sync or anything like that, but I'm thinking it could be a router issue rather than an app issue.
There are at least 7 devices usually connected to my router. Out of curiosity, I changed the router password to kick off all devices and just connected with my phone. The wifi downloading issue appeared to be gone, and it was closer to that baseline of "every 5 to 8 seconds" as you mentioned. Once all the other devices reconnect, the issue comes back.
Is it possible that some device on my network is causing the router to constantly send a signal to my phone? That's the only idea I have at this point.
I am having the same problem with my S3. The orange arrow goes off and on about every 3-4 seconds. Every once in awhile, the green arrow lights up too. I get horrible battery life on wifi because of this. I have tried wiping my phone, reinstalling a rom, and not installing any apps. The only thing I have installed, is Gmail and my Google account. I'm losing about 4% per hour when connected to wifi while the phone is sleeping.

I've tried everything as well with no change. Sometimes the orange arrow will literally never turn off and other times it will go on and off every few seconds. Battery does seem worse since this randomly started.
But it doesn't look like anyone knows a solution
You might have some apps or accounts at up to only sync when in wifi and that certain one might always be trying to sync but is failing. I do recall someone saying something from Google was trying to sync. Go to settings, accounts, and select Google and see if they are all syncing correctly.

Yes it is possible. I've read before that one's email app (not GMail but the generic one included) could also be the culprit. In some workplaces, sometimes a rooted users email could be the root cause of instability on the wireless network if it pings the server too often which could impact the network for others. I know this happens to you at home but yes, it is possible that one phone (or even yours) could impact everyone else's wireless in a similar fashion.

Only thing I could suggest is to try setting your wifi as a static IP.
Tried searching for this but can't seem to find anything similar. I did think it was down to this camera bug but I don't think it is...
Basically, in the last few days, my Nexus thinks the WiFi is on when I've not used it in weeks. This is based on the battery stats in the Settings menu. It's killing my battery, like 10% in less than an hour, and this is also the same on a fresh install of the factory image with now other apps installed.
Anyone know what's going on, or what to suggest?
Hi,
Have you unticked "Scanning always available" in Settings/Wi-Fi/Menu/Advanced, maybe this?

I've not used WiFi for months as I'm on Unlimited Data, so it's not even turned on (and I never use that setting, first thing I turned off). It's been fine until the last few days so not sure what's happened...
Oh well, sorry but other than that I have no idea
I know! I've just tried it in Safe Mode and it's still showing as running when it's not so I have no idea what's going on!?!?

In Safe Mode, all the Google apps/services are disabled?
Maybe some Google sorcery . I mean with the setting mentioned above disabled even with the Wi-Fi OFF you see it in the battery stats, so now maybe something related to Photos, G+ and so on?
I guess you verified, but just in case...

Gotta be something with this particular phone, funny it's only just started doing it...I'll keep digging
EDIT: It DOES seem like it was the WiFi setting as it was on, and it's NEVER been an issue until the last few days. Turn it all off and it now seems to show as off in the battery graph. I'll keep an eye on things, though...
Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?
