What version of root did you install? Did this happen before root? What did you recently install for apps? Whats running just before it dies?
i have this same problem. It was running all night on plane mode and just turned off around 5am. When i pulled the battery and turned it back on it was still at about 80% battery...I had to pull the battery, it wouldn't turn on until i did. The only program i had running was the alarm clock.
are you using overclock widget by chance? I've tried several different ways to root, but each time i use overclock widget the phone shuts off and have to pull battery to restart. hope this helps
Has anyone tried Fast Reboot pro? I have it automatically perform a fast reboot everytime I unlock the screen, but I'm not sure if it actually does any good for my phone. Anyone that's used it before, would you mind letting me know what you think of it, thanks?

It's prob just sucking your battery dry.
Set it to do a reboot each night or something, but not when you unlock the phone!!!
It's turning a simple act of turning the phones screen on, to restarting all startup apps on the phone, not gonna be helpful.

Yeah, just use it once in a while when you phone has been running for a long time.
I use it to... But its not a task killer it just restarts apps as if it was just booted.
Like above advice just use it once in a while and make sure you check important apps in white list ir manage list under settings to prevent it to restart the launcher etc.

Hi,
I just want to know if he SOD (sleep of death) when charging the phone will ever be fixed with CM roms?
I experience it since a very long time....
Or if this cant be fixed, is there any good workaround and why does the phone SOD?
I have my phone set to max clock at 500 something while charging, stops that.
Also check which apps you have. Some apps cause sod for me (usually widgets).

Check "stay awake while charging" under application-development settings.
It keeps the screen on, also eliminates all sod's

Yup all that does is leave my screen on when I get a text and wake me up with the laser beam of light.

That's why there's this nifty little thing on the phone that let's you change the screen brightness, lol. I just tap the setting on my homescreen until it goes to minimum brightness. Then when I wake up, tap it once and it's back to medium where I usually have it. Although, it takes more than my phone lighting up to wake me up, lol.

Thanks for your inputs guys.
2 things to ask.
Anyone tried a charger with less Milliampere on it. our current is 1.0A. I heard that one with less may fix this.
Also, to the guy setting 500 Mhz when idle, does this reduce battery life or you set this only when charging?

I do it only when charging. I used to do it while the screen was off but it caused occasional SOD.
I'll check my charger. I think it's 5 volts and 750mA.

+1 to setting it to stay awake when charging. After finding out about that, ive never had a SOD so far, and that was a year ago. Not sure why the screen would turn on though when getting a text. Never had that happen to me with people texting or calling me; I always just turn off the screen and it stays off. Guess it might be the kernel?

Put it upside down. It won't get scratched unless you deliberately try to sandpaper the screen :laugh:
I had this problem with stock CM kernel, no SOD with Morfic kernel....never
if you go to the dev menu and disable sleep while charging (check the stay awake box) it fixes the problem.

Could've sworn I said that last page :good:
Yep stay awake do work.
I tried modifying the CPU clock to +- 500 Mhz , but the phone still SOD.
I really think the problem is when the GPU enter idle state when charging.
Are there any tool to monitor GPU clock and changing it?
Is this SOD problem you are talking about part of CM7.2 or CM9? Which CM are you running and who's ROM? I am running Domination ICS w/ CM9 and have no SOD while charging.
Hi All,
Ive been having an issue with my P905. Android system is keeping awake all the time. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
I've tried factory reset. It worked fine for a few days but its not sleeping anymore. I have two profiles set up, not sure if this could be an issue? I dont want to root due to warranty issues. Ive tried installing BetterBatteryStats but without root the guys cannot help.
I've tried reinstalling the official software without wiping but this did not help. All the apps I have installed on the tablet I have installed on my Note 3 as well, other that bloat.
Not sure what to do now. Please help.
Thanks

I had a similar problem, and digging around, found that the NY Times app was using up a huge amount of the battery, even though it was set to only update every 4 hours. I removed it from the Magazine UI page, and while I couldn't uninstall it, I did restore the app to the factory image and deleted its data/cache. That fixed it for me.

This is so hard without being able to root the device.
Backing up, when you say it is kept awake, do you mean that it won't go into Deep Sleep, or the screen is actually staying on?
Assuming it's not a screen timeout issue, the places I looked were in the settings battery section - it shows what procs are using up the battery. I also checked settings for applications under running, looking at who was accumulating CPU, and also the System Panel app, which gives a different view into processes running.
What I would recommend is to charge the tablet up, then right before turning in, restart it (which will reset all the usage counters) and leave it that way overnight. Check first thing in the morning for what has been happening during the time it should have been in Deep Sleep.

Thanks a lot for your help, appreciated. The issue is deep sleep. Last night I charged and just before 100% I switched off and on again. Before restarting I disabled the NY Times app. Ive attached screen shots of the battery now. Hopefully you can see something that I've missed.

I'm not seeing any smoking guns there. If you're not seeing anything suspicious under Running in Apps Management or one of the other performance monitoring apps, you may have to just start uninstalling things and see if you can isolate it that way.
What does the battery chart look like, tap on that green/gray graph and take a screen shot. This reminds me of my LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1. LTE would consume battery like crazy sometimes, particularly when signal strength was marginal.

This is the current screen shot. Ive done a few tests and it seems Android system keeps awake even in flight mode. The entire weekend the tab has been at home and connected to wifi most of the time.

try the greenify app?
last i remember the developer released a non root version but im not sure if your device is supported.
search playstore for "Greenify" and get the non root version
it hibernates most apps until you run them manually.. you could use this to possibly pin point the app that may be preventing sleep? hibernate all the apps you can and then remove on app from hibernation list and see which app is the culprit... each time removing it from hibernate and then putting it back or rather replacing it with another one so you can accurately see the effect of each app on sleep?

Hey all
I had a wake lock trigger that was draining my battery so I decided to try and find what was causing it. I turned off all background sync and disabled GPS. I charged my phone to full and then let it drain over night. As you can see in screen shots... Massive drain occurred with no visual signs of the cause. Anyone have an idea?

Did you get any shots of the Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks screens in bbs? That's where you would see the culprit(s). Also, do you ever do soft reboots? Some people (including myself) have experienced increased battery drain with no visible wakelocks after soft rebooting. Doing a full reboot seems to fix it.

I checked those but there was nothing abnormal. I'd done a reboot when I flashed the kernel back to stock pa.

I've disabled wifi and it drained to dead. Going to recharge to full and see what it does off wi-fi. What could I do to see why/if wi-fi is killing it?
You can see it is draining it in your screen shots. Maybe you didn't fully disable the background Wi-Fi usage. "scanning always enabled" for example

Doesn't look like its disabled correctly. Your screenshot shows nearly 8 hours Wi-Fi.
Maybe there is a bug in your settings data.
Not sure if you're rooted or not but maybe a backup / wipe is the best course of action

You could try booting the phone into safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app, though unnecessary if you plan on trying a full reset anyways.

while at first it looks high, in reality it isnt(yet). in your screenshot you have only lost 5% battery so far with light use. at this point you really cant tell what your battery will be like with use.

ahh, thats a little better, but itll drop a little more with use. while 20 is a little high, id still classify as normal. really anything up to 20% is normal. typically, after a full cycle, i see android os between 9-15%. but it would all depend on exactly how you use your phone.

Install system monitor from play store and check CPU freq and number of CPU's online while screen on.

As said above....use the phone normally and check when its almost drained. It will surely be much lower.
If location is on...it will probably be higher than 10% I'd guess. If so....completely normal.
