Xoom Stingray (US 4G) Android OS keep awake / battery drain - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Xoom, regardless of the ROM, drains incredibly fast. I've tried flashing EOS2/3 CM9/10, doing proper installs by deleting all cache/data/battery stats, and even not installing any apps in an effort to narrow down the cause of my poor battery life. Android OS is always the culprit. I've left my Xoom on battery overnight and in the morning it'll be at 60%. BetterBattery Stats usually just says Android System under partial wakelocks, reporting inconsistantly on the number of counts. What should i do?

I use juiceDefender ultimate, it's a must apk to have...

Thanks, but this isn't much help.
I ran BBS again, unplugged for an hour, and in the course of an hour the battery dropped 10% with AudioOut_2 running for 116 seconds, 28 counts, and 2.6% of my partial wakelock. What is curious is when I go to battery in settings, on the graph, the Awake blue line that should indicate my device is awake barely shows, but when I select Android OS, Keep Awake is the entire time it's been unpluged.

I have the exact same drain haven't figured out why yet

Same here I have the same exact problem on every jelly bean rom

This is pissing me off. I had a previous Xoom tablet running ICS a few months back and it would last like 3 days without draining. This one not even a day

Same here man my xoom lasts for three days on bug less beast ics but any jellybean rom results in android os keep awake issues can anyone help?

Yeah just loaded up aokp m6 and battery is fine. Did you happen to get your Xoom from daily steals?

Is wifi still on? Have any apps that causes wakelocks? Such as antivirus? Some useless task manager? My XOOM battery drains as well, but at a very slow rate. 3-5% in 12+ hours.

I've been battling this issue and posting my progress in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485853
My current solution is to run a Wingray ROM. I have that luxury because I don't subscribe / use 4G data. Even with it turned off, something about the Stingray software cause a major battery drain. That might have something to do with why we haven't seen it pushed OTA from Verizon yet...

No I actually didn't buy my Xoom from Dailysteals. I bought it off someone on E-bay before they started appearing on Dailysteals

That seems like a really good idea, I'm going to install the wingray stock OTA jellybean build and see what happens! Thanks for the info I had no idea you could flash a wingray build. I also don't pay for 4G data.

Battery Life

Have one of these, rooted, stock rom on Rogers (LTE).
The battery life seems inconsistent... Some days it seems fine but days like today with 11 hours off the charger, with the two highest battery culprits being android OS (46%) and android system (16%) the battery life is already at 26%.
Other days when its on my desk it uses nowhere near as much...

You talking about the TMo version? I did a search and I cant find a Skyrocket or Rogers version of a BeastMOD ROM.
BTW I get have been getting 34-37 hrs @ 20-15% on the BoneSTOCKeteer-v1.0 ROM with med to light use. Your mileage may vary, but stock ROM only lasted a day with the same use.
edit: the more you play with/use your phone the faster the battery is going to peter out no matter the ROM
I noticed that wifi has a big impact on battery life. I hit about 50% of battery life with it on in about 5 hours but with it off and moderate use I can get 2 days use.
Just a thought and I froze lots of the SNS syncing apps with TB. I dont use those since i use another program for FB.
I actually like the ATT Smart Wifi app. Shuts down wifi when not in use. I think the free version of Juice Defender doesn't do that.
I have now owned my 727R for 6 weeks, coming from an iphone 4. I am finding the battery life inconsistent from charge to charge and anywhere from barely adequate to downright poor. Maximum I have ever gotten was 26 hours with minimal use and minimum has been 10 hours with minimal use.
I have installed and use Juice defender, and have looked at a variety of apps such as cpu spy, cpu hound, traffic monitor. I have turned off notification as much as possible and all other tricks under the sun.
My phone does not seem to go to deep sleep often and a lot of times it shows as awake even though the screen was off for a while.
The straw that broke the camle was when I cmpared notes with my clleague who has a Galaxy S (I know, no 4g, no LTE, smaller csreen). But he is getting 90% battery life with wifi and bluetooth on after 7 hours 15 minutes (minimal use). In the same time period I am down to 60% with bluetooth off!
I am not planning on rooting the phone and using custom ROMS or Kernels right now.
What gives? What do I look at to improve battery life?
Thanks
i notice with out a lot of changes i get horrible horrible battery life. but with a custom rom like quick wiz. i turn screen down. wifi off. under clock it and use a battery saver plus task killer i get two days moderet (use

I would suggest since Roger stock rom sucks the life out of the battery to root it and use faux123 kernel and Gideon's script to under clock it. Im using at&t stock rom rooted and faux123 kernel and I haven't had a bad battery day yet.. currently 12hrs moderate use 73% still.... not bad at all. Give it a try.. its not like it could any worse lol

It looks like this isn't available for Skyrocket.
1) Does it work like it should, and does it save battery, or is the battery savings negated by other junk running with it in the background? Reviews seem very mixed.
2) If you got it on a SR, how? Would pulling the APK from another device work?

I hated my skyrocket when I first got it because the battery sucked. Never could make it through a full day of average use. I did a search, found out how to root and install a custom rom and now I love it. I can go a full day and still have 20% left. All I can recommend is rooting and at least remove bloatware. I've never seen a single skyrocket user happy with their battery life on stock. Maybe sell or trade it for another iPhone.

[Q] XOOM Stingray ROM and Wingray ROM

I just installed the Stingray ROM on my XOOM from Peter Alfonso (Thanks Pete) and it is working fine except for some big battery drain. I think the culprit may be the fact that I have a Verizon Xoom. I don't use the Verizon Mobile data and only WIFI.
Does anyone know if the Wingray ROM would work on a 4g XOOM? If I loose the ability to do Mobile Data it won't matter for me since like I mentioned I only use it on WIFI.
If I remember correctly, you can flash the wingray rom.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. After 12 hours (2 hours use + 10 hours screen off) I'm at ~30% with Android OS being the largest consumer at 40% and screen the next largest at 30%. It doesn't appear to be any rogue apps draining battery. I've even used Autostarts to kill a lot of 3rd party apps that try to run in the background at startup.
I'm running a late September CM10 nightly. I feel like the second I upgraded to a Jelly Bean ROM my battery dropped off of a cliff. I might try flashing the rooted OTA Wingray JB ROM and see if there's a battery improvement. If not, I'll try going back to an ICS ROM. If THAT doesn't work... I have no idea.
Yeah I have the same problem and I have had a xoom before and do not remember this problem when I was on ice cream sandwich. I see others with great battery on a JB rom and am wondering what they are doing that I am not? I even have airplane on with wifi and it still loses all power in a day? If a JB rom doesnt work I will go back to a ICS rom.

Last night, I flashed the stock OTA (rooted) Wingray JB ROM. My battery life is back to what I expected. After about a 10 hour overnight sit, it went from 82% to 78%.
[UPDATE][JB]Stock Android 4.1.1 JRO03H, Root, via CWM Recovery (US Wi-Fi MZ604)
link
In order to isolate whether it is the ROM or my apps, I did not restore any of my apps. Now that I know a clean ROM is good on battery I will restore my slew of apps and report back if it results in an excessive battery drain again or not.
Cool, just sucks to have to flash a wingray rom on a 4glte tablet. I had a xoom before and it had the 4glte update applied and the battery life was still decent on a ICS rom. It is just horrible on a JB rom but there are those that swear they have great battery life?

Another update:
I restored all of my apps yesterday and used my Xoom regularly to make sure it had a normal load of 'running' and cached apps. Overnight it went from 53% charge to 48%. At this point, I'm 99% sure that current Stingray JB ROMS are the culprit of battery drain and using a Wingray ROM fixes it.

4.0.4 heavy battery drain

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems with the battery draining with the new 4.0.4 ? My GF Nexus S was still on 2.3.6 so I got the factory version of 4.0.4 and installed it. I obviously wiped the data/cache/etc. Also I rooted it with the latest superuser.
I'm running the latest nighly of CM9 and everything is perfect, so I thought it was time to give her the sweetness of ICS.
So with all that useless information, has anyone found a fix for the battery drain in 4.0.4?
Thank you,
WarpedMonkeys
Since I installed 4.0.4 my battery lasts up to 20 hours, no problem at all.
I'd suggest manual full wipe with fresh 4.0.3 stock rom and then manual ota update to 4.0.4.
I'm also using matr1x kernel, it's just awesome
Hope it helps

Stock rom is ok, but updating with ota from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 may lead to bad battery behaviour. Someone says that battery stats wipe could lead to better battery performances, but I think fresh install could do the trick

Check your battery usage, if Android OS is using more than 8-9% after some regular usage, then that's the cause.

A full battery cycle could do the trick. Don't let it die, anyway, because it can cause battery wear... Just take it to 10% and recharge it nighttime... You may also wipe battery data before, if you wish...

Heavy battery drain ??? i don't have any issues with it, infact i have not touched my phone for 1 day 6 hours and 25 minutes and my battery dropped from 95% to 82%. My phone was fully charged (didn't go higher then 95%). I am very impressed by the results.
I changed 2 settings:
1. Automatic screen brightness.
2. Turn screen off after 30 seconds.

Hello,
my Nexus S was updated automatically to version 4.0.4. I will tell you. My problem is with data. Now I can not open any WWW page in default viewer,Opera sometimes opens some pages but quite rare. I can not get any email in K9 Mail. Update of Google maps took several hours, unfinished, eaten all my battery! Sometimes I am without signal or with bad signal.
It is for sure problem with 4.0.4 because I have unlimited data. So, no FUP in this case.
I was satisfied with 2.3.6. How can I do downgrade without rooting etc. my phone ?

You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.
Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.
You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..

Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.
I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.
It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.
And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.
Solved by flashing latest adamG ROM..

Excessive Battery Drain 4%/hr

Hey,
Having a problem with my N5 draining my battery @ 4% / hr even when idle. According to the battery screen in settings the culprit is Android OS @ 32%.
I'm running CM M2 (stock kernel) on TMobile. I've got WiFi + Bluetooth on. NFC is off.
For comparison the phone has been on battery for 6hrs with only a few minutes screen on time and is at 61%.
Thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Any apps draining that shouldn't be? Turn auto brightness off and keep around 30%. Screen always takes the most.... clearly. Could be fault of CM since they are nightlies and those are always a work in progress. Post in CM thread, always read previous post in that thread for battery issues.
I'm running stock ROM, and getting the same amount of battery drain as you. I'm pretty sure this is coming from wlan_rx_wake wakelocks if you have wifi on while this is draining. Though having data on doesn't help me, I just get bam_dmux_wakelocks. Try better battery stats to see what wakelocks are keeping your phone awake. I have tried everything to get wlan_rx_wake to stop, yet it hasn't. Would love if someone knew how to fix this battery drain.
Just installed better battery stats. Will report back in a few days.
I do suspect WiFi as well. I was out on LTE all day yesterday and the drain was < 1% / hr and after 12+ hrs I was at 80%.
I have geenified a lot of apps. No luck so far
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Turn off bluetooth. Android OS being the main culprit means an app is keeping it awake. Also, I've bad experience (at least in my s3 days) with CM with regards to battery. Try switching ROMS and try franco kernel as well (great battery life without gimping performance)
Your coverage can have a huge impact on battery drain. At work I have poor coverage and my battery will be low by the end of the day at home its good I will have less battery drain with more usage.

I think the easiest thing to see if it's ROM related or app related is to just backup your current ROM and re-flash the ROM without anything (besides your basic absolute must need app but try and avoid if possible) and try it for a day. If you still have the battery drain, then it's the ROM, in which case, I suggest using a different ROM. I recommend Omni or Cataclysm. If not, then it might be an app burning through your battery then.
I am not able to let my phone go on for 24 hours without charging. I definitely need to charge it daily. I tried turning off the wifi and data and all background apps and services, just the android stuff is running, still can't go over 24 hours. At most is around 20 - 22 hours on standby.
I'm having same issues. On stock rom.

Anything over 1% per hour while idling, whether wifi or lte, is unacceptable.
Post your BBS logs people. If you're going to post screenshots, at least post all of the screens. Less work for you to hand over the log.

+1 just disable feauteres you don't use. I have auto-sync enabled but I check only the very necessary syncing (gmail for me). Disable location report from google, Google now, OK Google hotword detection... And even greenify those battery killing apps (check partial wakelocks and alarms)
I have the same behavior with about 4% drain per hour screen
off idle when I use a CM nightly from about the last 10 days with bricked kernel. So I'm still with my january 07th. CM Nightly which has no drain at all.
The culprit for me is an EntriesRefresh wakelock coming from google.quicksearchbox. No idea what that is -- but it appears to be a common source of problems on KK ROMs across all devices.
i do like Google Now so I don't want to greenify that. Hopefully google will fix the app soon enough.
Anyone have any other thoughts/suggestions?

If I disable everything on my phone , maybe I can get the 1% / hour, but frankly I don't see the point.
I like google now, I like my emails syncing and getting notified about things - that's why I use a darn smartphone, otherwise I would get a "dumb" phone that idles.
How do you export all on bbs?

Google Now isn't inherently bad on battery. Are you using GEL?
I do Greenify it, but only because it has no purpose for me.

Not using Google Experience Launcher just the regular AOSP launcher, but Google Now is enabled and the search box is on my launcher (but its not voice activated.)
What is the quick search box exactly? When I went to greenify it, greenify said that it was a system app and that greenifying it could cause problems.
