Overall I'm really enjoying the ROM, but I'm having a few minor issues/questions I didn't see listed in that thread.
1. Maybe it's Apex launcher related (because they work with the TWlauncher), I'm missing the calendar month view widget. I can only get the agenda
2. Custom power savings followed by pressing custom power savings settings causes a force close (com.android.settings)
3. After turning hotspot/tether on, then off -- I can't turn it back on without the phone restarting (the phone freezes up and restarts on it's own)
4. With juice defender running (I can't replicate it with JD off) -- after JD powers off the wifi and the phone goes to sleep, if I turn it back on the "bars" on the wifi indicator don't work. Wifi works perfectly, just the icon is wrong.
After a reboot, it goes back to normal until JD turns off wifi for the first time (screen shots attached)
5. When I look in the battery stats, it shows my mobile network signal as yellowish, with GB it's usually green. Am I getting worse reception?
Thanks!

Just yesterday I noticed that my battery was draining crazy quick while it was in sleep mode. I don't have any background syncing going on other than auto-update for a weather widget once an hour along with the core Google things like contacts, email, calendar, etc.
Usually the screen has been the largest contributor to draining of the battery and via betterbatterystats, there's no abnormal wakes going on.
I did a reset of the phone and I've now disabled 'Data Network Mode' as I'm primarily on Wifi right now. It seems to have fixed itself so far but I'll know better tonight.
Is this a conflict within the OS itself (rooted on Infused V2.1.0) or something from having 4G enabled when I'm in an area where I typically only get 1 bar? Either way, it's a huge draw on my battery...
From what I've heard/read this is a random bug caused by gb, not common at all but ocassionaly android os will go nuts and suck down your battery. Resolutions I've seen posted have just been power off, remove battery, re-insert battery, power up = issues reoslved.

Hmm, I would say try the battery-pull method first. If that doesn't fix it, maybe try flashing back to stock via ODIN and then re-flash Infused? Just an idea.
My rule for wifi is to turn off when screen if off. I notice that my mail is still coming thru when the screen is off.
I'm getting a lot of battery drain. Anyone know what I can do to solve this issue?
What do you guys use for the rule of wifi to reduce battery?
what rom/kernel are you using (you should always mention thse when asking a question like this fyi). revolver just fixed this problem yesterday, try updting your rom/kernel....
I'm using the latest stock rom..I think 3.2?
How do you update the stock rom or solve this issue?
Root and flash a custom rom. Revolver 3.2.1 fixed this issue i think...
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
I am on stock 3.2 and no problems. Have you checked the battery info. That is the best time to check how much time the TF has been on and how much time wifi has been on.
It's true that wifi doesn't disconnect as soon as screen goes off. It maybe takes some minutes for wifi to actually go off. Also, if I am using any app that uses wifi (like radio streaming), wifi won't turn off.
Anywy, most of the time wifi will go out just a couple of minutes after screen goes off. Check settings, running apps and battery stats.
Regards.
The stock rom is set to time out 10 minutes after the screen is turned off I believe. The revolver rom now has an option in revolver parts to set how long till the wifi is disabled.
There are several apps that keep wireless and/or GPS alive after screen is off. This is due to the way the OS handles apps after you stop using them. Try turning off TF then restart and without running any apps, let is sleep. Then check to see if wireless went off.
same issue
Hey, I'm having a similar issue.
I'm on a B70 running revolver 3.11 and a stock kernel and I've noticed my wifi intermittently toggles the disconnect policy to "never" instead of "when screen is turned off".
I thought it was part of the custom wifi timeout from revolver parts but according to battery usage in settings (and massive battery drain) the wifi isn't actually being switched off when the device isn't in use (tablet idle rarely shows top of the list).
I've tried flashing new roms and kernels but haven't been able to work out the specific cause of the problem or how to fix it. I would have posted in the revolver discussion to find out how the wifi timeout is managed as this might have given a clue but alas I am a noob

Honeycomb is not good at keeping wifi off with the screen when other apps request a connection
Grab "Auto Airplane Mode - by Don" from the market free and it does exactly that, screen off = radios off, screen on = radios on
Well my TF wifi off with screen off work except it work too good.
It work but after it goes to deep sleep it does not want to turn back on ( would need a reboot of TF for it to work again) so I set Wifi sleep policy to never and use Auto Airplane Mode.
Prime 2.1.1 w/ Prime OC kernel

Downloaded this app and it works a treat. I'm a bit anal so I'll keep trying to investigate why the system isn't doing what it should but its nice to have something to save the battery in the meantime.
Hello,
my battery only lasts half a day max, before needing a recharge. I've already tried different custom roms, and currently I'm on Blisspop for android 5.1. The area I live in has good coverage, so that shouldn't be the culprit. I never play games on my device, but even basic web browsing drains my battery very rapidly. I do use android wear, but I don't think that is the reason I only get around 1 hour of screen on time.
Here are the things I've tried already:
- Turning off location reporting
- Disabling Google Now
- Removing Google Fit
- 'recalibrating' the battery by letting it discharge and then charge it fully without unplugging
- Using 3g instead of 4g
- Turning off location access
This is driving me nuts, and I don't know if it's my battery's fault or my phone's fault.
Thanks in advance.
Go to wifi, special, and disable scanning when the wifi is off. It helps A LOT. Also keep location reporting off, as setting it to network only creates tons of wakelocks even when mobile data and wifi are turned off.
I know some custom ROMS have had issues with Bluetooth battery drain in the past. Try turning it off and see what happens.
Turn down the brightness as well. There is significant difference in power usage between %50 and %100 brightness .
Hold power button and select power off. Helps
EDIT: Still unsolved - see post nr3
"keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "only when plugged in" - it worked like a charm in lollipop (it switched off wifi after some seconds of disactivity), it doesn't now.
EDIT: In lollipop after some seconds of inactivity wifi was turned off, that was proper behavior I guess... It is not working in Marshmallow.
1. GSAM Battery monitor seems to have problems with showing WiFi activity on Marshmallow (shows "on" when switch is turned on, but it's inactive). I used build-in Marshmallow graph instead (settings > battery) and that showed me, that WiFi is indeed being turned off during sleep.
2. In my Lollipop WiFi became inactive just seconds after screen turned off. I expected the same behavior from Marshmallow, but it is different. It seems, that now wifi is turned off after 20 minutes of inactivity (checked few times).
Am I right about deactivation timer in Lollipop / Marshmallow? I guess It's much better now, since in Lollipop I sometimes had to keep screen active in order to install all upgrades, etc. But for me 5-10 minuted would be perfect instead of 20 minutes. Any way to change that?
After some weeks I have to say, that problem is unsolved. I can't repeat the situation when wifi was turned off when phone went to sleep.
I tried safe mode - the same effect, wifi is on when screen is off. Even after I am going back home with phone in my pocket it automatically connects to the router (with screen turned off, phone should sleep)
Does anyone have similar problem?
Bump - more info.
When I turn off Wifi my phone uses 1% or less battery during night. With Wifi turned on it uses 5-10%. If it worked like it should and turned off wifi when screen is off it would use the same amount of battery life as when wifi is off.
Could anyone at least confirm, that I am the only one that has that problem? Your marshmallow Nexus 5's are working as expected?
Hey guys, I'm experiencing a major issue -
When I use running apps (tried a bunch, the issue occurs in all of them) the GPS signal gets lost after about 1:10 minutes.
The thing is - it happens ONLY WHEN SCREEN IS OFF/ PHONE IS LOCKED.
For instance, when I use Waze, where the screen it always turned on - I have a clear GPS signal the entire drive.
Also, when I use the running apps while walking and using my phone - as in screen is ON - I get a clear GPS signal.
Only when I turn off screen (as in lock phone) - I lose GPS signal after about a minute. EVERY TIME!
So far, I've come to the conclusion that:
1. Phone is not defective, since GPS works great with Waze/Running apps while screen is turned on.
2. Not a GPS-Antenna issue since I know that when I walk the same route with screen on - the problem is on.
3. Not a specific app related, since it happens with all running apps.
Please help me, I want to be able to know my running distance
Thanks!
Please help

Go to:
Code:
Settings → Battery → Battery optimization → Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner → Advanced optimization
and turn off deep optimization.
Note: your battery life might get worse because of that.
Holy hell!!! It worked!!!
Is there a way to keep deep optimization on EXCEPT for running app?
