Any ideas on managing the wakelocks on Android and specifically on the Infinity?
I've checked the option of switching off WiFi with screen-off, but in my battery usage stats I still see that over 10% of battery is consumed by Google Services with 672 wake locks & device waked 77 times (WiFi drain itself is 13,5%, so quite OK). This is what GSam Battery Monitor shows. Android stock battery management (in Settings) shows 51% drain by Google Services and 26% by WiFi (but I believe these stats are wrong most of the time or just measure a different thing, as they show tablet inactive with 2% bar and it has been inactive most of the time actually).
I have google auto-sync on and I need it, but I still think this is too high a number. I don't get 672 e-mails daily, so these shouldn't be PUSH notifications etc.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one seeing these high numbers there?
Have you tried CPUspy for finding out how much time in deep sleep you have?
Better Battery Stats is also a needed tool to find more about wakelocks

Yes, I'm looking at it from time to time, but thanks for this. I had some issues when I started this thread, after wipe and re-flashing new firmware it seems OK in the stats: Deep Sleep 44%, 102MHZ 16%, 1500MHz 24% (running on balanced mode, interactive governor).
I'm still curious to get to know how to manage wakelocks under Android from (low) system level however.

My phone was still always awake with too much battery drain (40% only the night).
After searching i find this in the build.prop :
pm.sleep_mode=1 but after changing the number with 2 my battery recover breathe
If you have battery drain during night because your phone stay awake test it and don't forget to share your exp

1. switch off MOBILE data transfer
2. system setting -> wifi -> advanced settings -> keep wi-fi during sleep = never
3. unsinstall tweeter, FBI (FaceBook Ing)
4. if you have e-mail program - tell it not to check for e-mails automatically but only manually
5. Instal WakeLock detector to see the program that prevent your device of sleeping.
After installing stock ICS I have encountered a battery drain from time to time. Sometimes my phone consumed battery really slow (better than on GB ROM) resulting in 50 h of battery life with 3G/WiFi always on. But there were days where battery was consumed very quickly (no more than 18 h on idle with 3G/WiFi on) and the phone was slightly warm. Reboot usually helped, but after day or two the problem was coming back.
I installed Wakelock Detector app and noticed that there is *backup* process that does not allow the phone to enter deep sleep. I entered Settings -> Backup and reset and unchecked "Backup my data". I have been testing it since yesterday but the problem seems to be gone already. Anyone who is experiencing battery drain on ICS should try this solution.
I have a Mi2S and I'm running the latest stock ROM 4.4.23.
Ever since the 4.4.11 update I've had poor idle battery life.
Before that when I look at my battery usage, as long as I have good signal and the screen is off, the battery level graph is flat.
Now, almost always when my phone is idle, no matter what there is some heavy drain, it was approximately 25% over 12 hours.
I've tried all the MI2S updates since then and they are all having this issue. I have not installed any new apps or changed anything on my current ones.
Attached are some wakelock detector screenshots.
Sometimes 小米服務 has many wake alerts, but sometimes it does not. Weather app is disabled, and autosync is disabled too. Occasionally 小米服務 does not have many wake alerts but that doesn't seem to reduce idle power draw, and I think it had this many wakes before as well.
Also the 3h wakelock app is the music player; the idle drain happened when the music player was off.
Thanks for reading.
Bump...
So I spent a night in airplane mode, and voila! 3% drain over about 12 hours!
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is, but whenever I get the chance to I'm going to spend another night in airplane mode with wifi on.
Bump...
There is a nice little utility app called power tutor, which shows you exactly which app drains your device. Maybe the problem isn't rom related...
You can find it on the play store.
Hi,
I have a question regarding battery life of the OPO. I'm still not sure whether I have a defective battery, or some apps drains my battery like crazy (or both?). I hope you can help me with this.
In the first 2 weeks since I got it, I use my OPO for mid to heavy activities (a lot of Whatsapp, Youtube, streaming music, etc). I always start the day with 100% battery and I thought it was normal to see the battery drops to at least 20% at the end of the day. To be honest, I didn't check the battery stats in Settings even once in this time frame, and due to my heavy usage, once again I thought this was normal.
Until one night I decided to plug the charger earlier than usual, unplug it around 11pm (w/ 100% battery), then I fell asleep. I was shocked the next morning (8am) when I saw the battery has decreased to 65% with no activities whatsoever. I check the battery usage in Settings and then saw Google Play Services (GPservice) at the top of the list with 45% usage, with "keep awake" time almost identical to total time on battery. I did some research and found some advice including 1) denying GPservice abilities to "keep awake" and "wake up" via privacy guard (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525), 2) turn off location, 3) turn off sync, but none of them seems the solution to my problem. Since then, I always check the battery usage and reset it, to see if GPservice still at the top. Sadly it still there. After I reset the stats, go to sleep directly and check it about 1 hour later, GPservice uses 40% - 60% of the battery usage, draining about 6% battery / hour.
With screen on a few minutes, it easily drops to 5th or 6th place with ~7% usage, with screen and main apps I use on the 1st and 2nd place. When I googled about this using Firefox, that's when I start worrying about something else, the battery itself. With wi-fi and low brightness (less than >20% if I convert it from the slide bar), browsing with Firefox decrease the battery 1% in 2-3 minutes, no or low usage drains 1% in about 5-6 minutes. In contrast, charging increase the battery 1% in 1 minute. Is that normal? IDK, usually bad battery increasing faster when charging and decrease significantly when in use.
Please help, especially about the excessive GPservice battery usage. And if it's possible, I prefer non-root solution for it. Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

Definitely sounds like somethings not right, what apps do you have that access or could potentially access your location? If you're still not having any luck, as a last resort you could try a fresh install of CM11S and install your apps one by one to see if you can determine if any are responsible for sucking battery.
Give the below app a try:

Install Gsam to see if you can gain any more insight into whats causing battery drain.

Maps, Google Fit, Google Now, among other things.
CMIIW but I read somewhere that GServicefix does the same like privacy guard, denying some service to keep awake, wake up, etc.
So I installed Gsam and run it about 1 hour. Interestingly in there, Kernel (Android OS) is on the top the % list with 60% usage (mostly phone in idle/sleep). When I switch sorting to Kernel Wakelocks, it shows event0-798 & event2-798 as the top 2 wakelocks with around 7000 wakelocks. I'll update in few hours, thanks.

From what I read on the Play Store description, Kitkat and above requires root?

Try clear cache+dalvic cache in recovery
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
It seems reboot the phone a few times solves the problem. Battery usage now seems normal when idle, even with location & sync turned on.
Hello all, I recently noticed that my OPO was not going into deep sleep. So I installed wakelock detector and to my surprise, nothing out of the ordinary was going on. I proceeded to wipe the dalvik and cache, still nothing, won't deep sleep. Last night I flashed franco kernel in the hopes that it would solve the problem, guess what, nothing, still won't deep sleep. The phone just drops to 300mhz and stays there for the minimum frequency.
I'm running liquid smooth 3.2 (4.4.4) with the recently flashed franco kernel.
Do you guys have any other suggestions on what to do?, I was just about to flash an entirely new rom and keep it barebones till the end of the week when cm 12s and oxygen os are released.
I'm experiencing exactly the same issue..

Maybe the PlayServices are the Problem somewhere here is a guid to prevent them to keep your phone awake
Actually play services did not come up in the battery stats to indicate it was indeed active. I ran through anything, there is nothing causing unnecessary wakelocks. So that's why I'm confused.

Play Services doesn't always show up as Play Services in the battery stats page in your settings menu, it quite often will show up as Android OS.

Not even that, as I said there was nothing android related nor was there any app in wakelock detector that was showing signs of a wakelock. For good measure I did follow the many guides on stopping google services etc. and none of them worked. Phone still won't go into deep sleep. Strangely enough it was wasn't affecting my battery life that much, was still getting about 6hrs on screen time with 14% battery left.

Sounds to me like your battery stats might just be screwy.

So now I'm wondering, as well. What would an example of good/excellent deep sleep look like? % drop over time?
My battery stats show cell standby at 1%, phone idle at 1%, and over over eight hours go from 100% to about 86%. Would that drain be considered deep sleep, or good deep sleep?
I had a similar issue and able troubleshoot successfully.
Device:
- POCO F1
- MIUI 12.0.3.0, Android 10
- Magisk 21
What tried but didn't help
- There is no wake-locks active
- Tried Battery Saver and Ultra Battery Saver
- Tried Airplane mode
- Tried rebooting
- There is no significant battery drain (only 1.6% per hour)
- Tried disabling Proximity sensor
- Tried wiping dalvik-cache
I have followed the guide by Intel at https://software.intel.com/content/...-no-sleep-issues-in-android-applications.html
As I mentioned earlier, there is no active wakelock, that is why the troubleshooting was much difficult.
I have digged into `/sys/kernel/debug/wakeup_sources` and sorted processes based on the column `prevent_suspend_time`. The process `qtidataservice` was on the top. Not sure what it is, but it's probably from Qualcomm and running under the `radio` user.
The `strace` was showing nothing. I have simply killed that process. It's eventually re-created with a new PID. Interestingly the device began to go Deep-sleep while in idle.
OneUI built-in Device Care app doesn't show full details of what is draining battery. It fortunately shows the Screen ON Time (SOT) though.
My phone's battery drains badly on standby. It drains anywhere between 1.5% to 2% per hour on standby if I leave all radios ON. If I turn OFF WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Location, etc. then the battery drain reduces to 0.5% per hour. There is no unusual drain when I'm using the phone. If I'm continuously using the phone, I can get 6 to 7 hours SOT.
The built-in battery stats doesn't provide full information on what is draining battery, and how much. For example, it doesn't show system functions like Android System, Android OS, Display, Wakelocks, etc. It only shows 3rd party apps installed.
If I add the % consumption of each app shown in the list, it won't even add up to 50% of actual consumption. If you see the attachment, the sum of the individual consumption adds up to about 20% only. My battery is at 59%. So I have no idea about what used the remaining 21% (standby drain).
Assuming that all details are available in the system, is there an app that can simply read this info and show it on screen? I don't want battery 'monitor' apps that run in the background.
I'm interested to know if there is an app that would simply read this information and display it when launched, and won't run in the background when closed.
Thanks.
Gsam battery monitor, better battery stats or Battery guru. But i think that they all need to keep a background service, which doesn't cause any noticeable battery drain though

I seriously doubt this. It is just that they don't show up in the stats.
From my experience, there was no difference in idle drain battery usage with and without any of these apps. Checked for some days, not only a few hours.
