Issue with wakelocks?

I have a nexus s 4g. Just got it about 5 days ago. Needless to say I've been flashing roms like crazy . I've finally settled on oxygen 2.2 for the time being, But I have noticed the past couple of days that my battery has been draining like crazy while its nothing use. About 3-4 % per hour. I downloaded better battery stats and noticed that I have partial wakelocks in wifi in the android system of about 26%. I'm on the stock kernel for oxygen, and haven't changed anything else. All my apps are the same as when I was on other roms. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a solution? Maybe flash another kernel? My wifi sleep policy is set to never...which has never caused me any problems before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a pic of what the battery looks like.

Do you use any apps like widget locker? I use oxygen but with matrix kernel and i don't have this issue.

No I don't use widget locker. I use a handful of Widgets, but they are the same ones I've been using for a long time and never had any issues with them. I turned wifi off for a while and rechecked my battery stats and low and behold none of the quite frequent wakes that I had before. Ill try another kernel tonight and see if that helps. Which version of matrix are u using?

So one or many of your apps is set to sync every 10 minutes. I bet it even has a setting to check for a wifi connection.

So here's where I'm at now. I reflashed a different rom, and kerenl (deck 1.3), and only put gapps on there. After a few hours, I'm still getting wakelocks from wifi. Is my wifi radio busted? Or is this some flaw in one of the stock apps. I guess ill go through each one if the stock apps and see if there's a setting I'm missing.

[HACK] UPDATED **WIPE ALL** flashable zip
Well I have tried to reflash the radio, and checked all my core apps and can't find any reason for it. Does anyone have the zip that's in this thread above. I'm looking for the one that does the complete wipe that wipes boot and everything. I figured I'd try that to see if it helps. I guess my last chance after that would be to flash the newest update and try that radio to see if there is a difference. Thanks.

Nevermind. I found the zip....

Yeah. I always have it set to never. Though I did change the settings, and still no dice! I used the complete wipe to see if that makes a difference. Ill try it when I get home in the morning.
From cellblock D

So nobody has ever heard about this problem. Am I the only one that's having this issue?
Well I'm going to try the one click back to stock to see if that will help anything. Wish me luck!

I just started having this problem too few days ago. I tried flashing different roms and kernels, nothing helped. But today I disabled sync with gmail and seems to be alright now.

Ill give that a try and see if it works. I successfully one clicked back to stock (2.3.4) and made my way back to my current rom. Ill try the no Gmail sync when I get home on the morning. Thanks for the advice.

I give up. I can't find out what causing this issue. I've turned all my syncing off, removed every app possible, removed all Google apps and I'm still getting these wakelocks from wifi. I'm going to my sprint store to see if I can swap my phone out, get a refurb or something. Glad nobody else is having this problem, cause it driving me freaking nuts!

Is the wifi wakelock happening when at home on hour network? Could be your router.

Yeah that's when it happening. I didn't think of my router because I've never had an issue before. What would make it do that? My security settings?
From cellblock D

Nope, sorry... I've never seen this issue

Well I got a replacement from sprint. They were pretty cool about it. Good news :getting great battery life, mediocre news :wifi still doing its funky thing. It must be an app or some setting in the core apps, though while I'm still getting the wakes, my battery isn't draining hardly at all while on standby. I'm doing like 1 % per two hrs! One thing I did notice though is that I did not have this issue when I 1 clicked unroot back to 2.3.4? Weird but there it is.
Also my phone was doing it at the sprint store on their wifi, so I know it wasn't my router.

baseband update questions (help)

When I first got my phone battery life was great. 60+ hours on 2g. When I did the first update back in june I could barely hold a day, so I turned off data completely in order to do so. Now, I thought the kj2 update would fix it, but I still have the same issues with battery performance.
My question is does updating the baseband mess with the battery calibration? Like, if I rooted (I am not) and recalibrated the battery, it should fix the problem? Thanks a lot

Problem with deep sleep (?)

Hi guys,
So I'm not sure if the term "deep sleep" is correct here, but I'll use it anyway since it highly describes the case.
I bought the Tab 7.7 P6800 a few months back, it was on HoneyComb. 2 days later I upgraded to stock Samsung ICS. So I have no knowledge if the issue I'll describe was on HoneyComb as well or not. All I know is that I've been seeing this since stock ICS.
I moved from stock ICS to Nexus 7.7 then to Paranoid Android 2.22... all showing the same problem. So here goes.
From time to time when I go to use the Tab, I press the power button to wake it up... nothing would happen. Screen stays off and doesn't turn on. After a few quick tries I would hold down the power button to force a reboot.
The device is charged when this happens, and there is no specific duration after which this happens. Sometimes I would go to sleep and encounter this the next morning, and sometimes I'd leave it for lunch and then encounter this problem.
Last night for example when I came to use it, I had to force a reboot. I checked the battery stats under Settings, and this is what I found (screenshot taken today): please check attached screenshot. The red area is from last night.
Are there any logs that I could look into once this happens or any help from anyone around? Has anyone else encountered this? I've seen online posts about the same case but for another tab, the Transformer I believe.
Please do let me know your thoughts or from where to start debugging the problem.
Thanks all
//M

Hi, sorry to hear about your issues. Download logcat and look for Errors, if you have a terminal app installed, try and type: top - it will show you what processes is currently chewing cpu cycles..it might require busybox wich mean root is needed..
I had this issue but on the older Tab7 where the phone part would eat battery even in flightmode, no simcard and IMEI was missing, so flashing a different modem.bin file solved it, but you might have a different problem..

Thanks for ur quick answer.
I'll check the logs and see...

Well, I'm not sure if I've solved the issue or not, but turning auto brightness off seems to keep the Tab in a usable state for the past day or so. Didn't encounter any problems waking it up...

Looking at the attached image, it looks very much the same as mine, screen first 65-75% then android 9% so on.. no irregularities.
Also a try CPUspy so you can see where it hovers, also a betterbatterystat might help, think there is a free version here on xda..

I think https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl / Wake Lock is the answer to anyone facing SODs...
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app

I had similar experience.
I have similar experience with my tab.
It was good when i use P6800XXLQ1_CSC_ATO but it has occur with stock P6800DXLP8_CSC_XSE and SKYHigh rom 4.0. then i have back to P6800XXLQ2_CSC_ATO.
I have to try with others tools with my tab.
thank you...

The best solution so far and this hasn't failed me once for the past month or so, is stock 4.0.4 + EzyICS kernel and setCPU from the Play store! No SODs whatsoever again!!

Battery stats gone wild?

OK, so trying my very best to be a good noob, I spent the last two days scouring threads and posts to see if anyone had my problem before. No dice, so here I go. If I have this in the wrong section.... Shoot me. just flashed to a new rom. ICS from team blackout. Love it a ton. Seriously had to tweak the processor a bit, but it runs smoothly now. The problem? The battery stats are insane no matter what I do. My extended life battery is toast, I accept that, so I switched back to the stock battery which is now lasting longer than the ext did. But here's the problem. Run phone down to any power level. 15% or 1% doesn't matter if you kill it. Plug it in to charge. Charge till it gets round about 34% and unplug. All of a sudden, I have anywhere from 80% to 99% battery life. But it runs through that in almost no time. Then it will get down to about 28% and spike to 43% without ever seeing a charger! What gives? I would like some dependable stats. Please, let me know what kind of info you might need to get me going. I'm running an HTC Inspire 4G with the latest release of team blackouts ics rom.

Is your recovery updated?

Where would I look for that info? Are you talking about the clockwork recovery? I have whatever version is the latest for Advanced Ace Hack Kit.... which is currently on my Linux partition. I believe the last update for the root program was in November 2012. But at any rate, I'll take any pointers on looking for the info and updating it if necessary.

First, give 4ext recovery a shot (at least, I've personally had issues with CWM recently). Get the free app from their website. If you like it buy the app from the Play Store. It will install the most up-to-date 4ext recovery.
Second, redownload the ROM (just to make sure the download is valid) and reflash it from the updated 4ext.
Third, sometimes batteries just get old; if the problem persists try buying a new one. They're not too expensive.

Ok, I'll give this all a shot and get back to you. One question though: the rom is from Team Blackout's link, so when you say valid, what does that mean? And should I do a full wipe of my phone? Also, I seem to be getting a full day out of my stock battery suddenly. (Which wasn't happening with the stock rom) The only quirk is that jump in % when I unplug it before it charges. It discharged like a normal battery today, though. At any rate, I'll go get that stuff you mentioned.

There's several ways you can make sure that the file didn't get corrupted during the download. Re downloading, md5, and opening the zip and seeing if there are folders. You could use any of those.

Please post in the correct section

Ah I see. Thanks for moving me where I need to be. As for the stats, had a very busy week and never has the chance to do any of the checks you recommend. But in the last couple days it's seems the problem fixed itself. Getting more life out of my battery and the stats don't Spike anymore if I have to unplug the phone before it's finished charging. So all in all I'm a happy camper again. Still need to buy a bigger battery to get some serious life, but I can make it with 12 hours. Good to know what steps to take if I run into any other problems, though.

You could buy the powerskin for the inspire. I think they are still blowing them out for $0.01.(yes one penny, not a typo) I use one and it is great. It's a case with a battery built in. The case battery has more juice than what can fit into phone so it lasts all day with heavy use no problem. You just push a button when your phone is almost dead and it charges it back to full with energy left over.

HTC One XL Battery Drain

Alright guys, I've pretty much had it with this phone and AT&T. This is the 4th issue I've had on my phone. Basically, my battery dies within 3 hours no matter what I do. I turned off all connectivity in class this morning and put it in my pocket at 90%, 2 hours later it was at 29% with "Google Services" as the main cause of the drain. I thought it was weird because my internet was still off. This is my third One XL due to numerous problems in the hardware, at this point I just want a totally different phone which I know they'll offer me. But I'd rather get a Nexus 4 or try to hold out for the Nexus 5. Any ideas on what I can do to maybe temporarily fix it until October?

Is this phone bootloader unlocked/rooted? are you using a custom ROM? If so, which one?
If it is unlocked/rooted, also please indicate if your phone is S-ON or S-OFF

Thanks! I'll let my phone recharge up and try to replicate the issue to see what's causing it and I'll see where to go from there.

Try uninstalling all your apps, keeping only the necessities. If you went through 3 phones already, the problem is probably you, not the phone itself.

I get this sometimes, I usually fix it by uninstalling updates to play store and deleting app data from play services and play store and the app that battery usage says is the problem. Then reboot.
There's probably an easier way to fix it but I haven't found it.

I would ruu. And install gsam right away. Then I would monitor battery drain over a day or two. If gsam reports no wakelocks but it keeps draining quickly, it's a hardware issue. If it's not draining quickly any more, install a few apps a day until you find the draining culprit.

Apparently there was an error with sync that kept my phone awake while it tried to finish it. A reboot and refreshing the sync seems to have done the trick. Thanks guys! I'm still jumping ship when/if the nexus 5 is released.
