Some issues with CM10 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi everyone
Lately I switched to CM10 and I'm loving it just have some issues with it
1. Battery life
I removed completely the NFC and Bluetooth (I don't use either). I'm charging the phone to 100%, the phone is in airplane mode with everything tured off - wifi, sync - anything that can be turned off is, and still when I wake up in the morning I see the battery in around 92%.
This had never happened in the original ROM or in CleanRom (I used both for a long time).
2. Whatsapp
Almost every time I don't see the message until I open the device and even sometimes until I open Whatsapp. This as well never happened in other Roms I used.
3. Google Maps & GPS
Crashes, data lost, GPS signal lost. Only way I can work with Google Maps is to turn off the wifi and network locations. Is there any solution for that?
I'm with the latest CM10 nightly, everytime I'm installing it I fully wipe everything - cache, dalvik, factory & system.
Only apps I'm using are Google Maps, Google Voice, Whatsapp, Fancy Widget (with refresh to manual). All sync is turned off for Gmail, Contacts, Calendar. Only Whatsapp is marked to sync.
Thanks to anyone who can help with anything.

battery life and gps issues are known bugs. try disabling location settings to improve battery life, although 8% in one night seems pretty standard. gps has worked pretty well for me, but some people have issues.

Thanks for you answer.
8% during night, with everything turned off (phone is in airplain mode, wifi off, no nfc, no sync) is standard for CM roms? Because with AT&T rom and CleanRom it was far more better than that.

sense ROMs are optimized pretty heavily for the hardware on this phone

Last night something happened, something I've never seen before.
Like every other night that I'm putting the phone in airplane mode before going to bed, I just turned off data and then put the phone in airplane mode (something the airplane mode should do by itself).
Went to sleep with 51% battery, woke up with 56% (and of course that the phone wasn't connected to a charger).

Battery Drain and Wifi problem

I have battery drain issue when I use wi-fi for few min and then turn it off. After this the battery drains crazy but if I never turned on Wifi battery drain is normal.
Another issue is when Today Touch plugin's weather is updated by Wifi then it won't update with Active Sync connection?
Did anybody see these problems? Anybody has solutions?
I probably cannot help you other than to remind you that the gurus here will need more information so that they can help you. What device do you have, what ROM, what programs you've installed, etc. Also, these issues have been discussed numerous times with various ROMS, so searching will probably yield a great deal of information. Good luck.
My device is on XDAR2a release. Touch stuff and that is all nothing fancy. I am sure we are all talking about HTC wizard/cingular 8125.

Wifi always takes alot of battery, make sure it's off, and also turn off incoming beam option in setting.
if you're reading the drain info from a program like batterystatus...give it some time after you turn off wifi for the information to refresh. wifi has a large drain on the battery...so it just might be residual information.

[Q] Battery Life poor with new Maps 6.0.0

Has anyone else noticed maps using up a lot of battery power in the new 6.0.0 version? I installed it yesterday and it sucked up 44% of power and almost drained the phone overnight!
I have a i9020a. GRK39F (2.3.6) with UKF1 radio.
Mine is using 46% of the battery... Also, a couple of nights ago, I saw a major drop in battery overnight. When I checked, the native Email app had kept the phone awake for about 8 hours.
EDIT: I9023 2.3.6 (GRK39F)
I had the same thing yesterday but with 5.0.12.
It seems fixed now, here's the steps I took:
-Activated Latitude then signed out of it (it was disabled)
-Opened default browser settings and disabled Location
-Went to Location settings and disabled then re-enabled WiFi location
-Rebooted
I have been having horrible battery because of maps continuously using GPS non stop. I went through a full charge in less 3 hours multiple times yesterday. Seems like there are a lot of comments in Android Market that are saying the same thing.
I'm having the same problem since maps updated. Sometimes it's reported usage is up to 98%. Badass battery monitor shows heavy usage of magnetic field and accelerometer by maps. And all of that without even starting maps.
Uninstaling maps updates didn't work, so only solution that worked for me is disabling location by wireless networks.

Smart Connect and Facebook eating my battery...

Hi guys.
I'm having problem with app called Smart Connect from Sony.
The problem started when I bought NFC Tags and start to use them.
But the best thing is that I don't even use that app for tag's due to not recognising them.
For a period 3 and a half hours my battery went down from 100% to 41% even when I didn't use my phone.
I only used it for 20 minutes to check facebook, e-mails etc. Also NFC so on for a period of 1 minute or two ?
Just to make change's at phone when touching to tag.
I'm on stock 2.17 without any customization, stock kernel, rooted, bl unlocked. Also don't know why but Smart Connect is showing at the list that uses 40% and Facebook which is another problem is 30%...
I even didn't have problem with Facebook app till yesterday... It always work and even it didn't eat that much. It never goes more than 3% of use a the battery stat's. Phone is active for all the time, even when wifi is turn off. No I don't use network data. I'm having full network signal also I don't use stamina but maybe the problem is in app called Snapdragon BatteryGuru ?
I really stupid, haven't made any changes at phone and battery it goes a lot.

[Q] Lumia 1020 connectivity issues (bt/wifi/plane mode)

Hello there.
I am facing a problem which i think is caused from the bt.
Everything works fine (no battery drain, no heat, not lagging, no crashing apps, perfect voice quality etc) EXCEPT when i connect my bt headset(-s).
At first it works fine, make my calls, download emails browse everything. At some point (it could be 5 minutes it could be 5hrs) i am facing disconnections with the connected bt device. The phone may or may not show it is disconnected, it may or may not enable voice through bt (but i cannot hear anything). During the call i can toggle bluetooth and speak through the phone.
Here is the chain of events.
After this it drops the connection with the wifi and the menu stays at Searching mode (i left it in search mode for >5hrs with no luck discovering any wifi). If i disalble wireless or bt or enable/disable airplane mode the menu stays grey forever and with the dots in the upper screen keep coming and coming. Long story short i cannot toggle on/off any connectivity feature (only cellular data works under any circumstances), i have to either turn off and on the phone or soft reset it. I did two hard resets (one of them was clean state) but this behavior hasn't changed.
Also if i have only bt on and connected and i leave it overnight in the morning it shows about 10 - 15% battery and quiet hours are not auto disabled (also tried to turn Cortana Off) BUT if i plug it for FIVE minutes it goes back to 90-95%. and have normal battery consumption during the day.
The only thing i havent tried (and if i do i will do it only for testing reasons) is roll back back to WP8.0.
Am i facing a warranty issue or is it a glitch of the software (i am running Cyan)?

I got the exact same problem with my own L1020, have been fighting with support to have it fixed, they changed about everything (except the mainboard...) and the problem is still there.
I started to be really angry and got a free Lumia 930 in "replacement"... as I still got the L1020, I tried to put it under W10 preview, and it looks like the problem is really a software issue... with some builds, Bluetooth was working fine, with some the same problem appeared again...
I don't know if you found a solution in the meantime... if you did, I'd like to know what it was, because I like the 1020 better than the 930 (size and camera mostly) and I'd love to have it working with my MS Band

WiFi plaguing Android Marshmallow

After using 6.0 for a day or so, I noticed that the WiFi was draining huge amount of juice from the phone, even taking the top spot on the battery chart. This seems to happen even if the WiFi is turned off.
http://i.imgur.com/X2YoNvv.png
So how can we fix this? Well, we'll have to go through bunch of settings to do so. It seems like Google deliberately hid this deep inside location settings. This is how we can "temporarily" fix this issue: Head to Settings -> Location -> Click those 3 dots at the top right corner -> Scanning -> Turn off both WiFi scanning and Bluetooth scanning.
Even with this "fix" I noticed that it keeps draining battery life for no reason, not as much, but the problem still exists. This shouldn't happen! Especially when Marshmallow was built around battery life improvements. The fact that this bug has been causing problems since M Preview #3 shows either Google "missed" this chaos of a bug (or) only cares about that juicy location data. This should be a straightforward-user-friendly option, not one that is buried behind buttons and menus.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
Had the same issue after flashing the factory image. So I flashed 5.1.1 again booted the phone then rebooted into recovery and sideloaded the 6.0 OTA. Booted the phone and preformed a factory reset. Now I don't have that problem.

im currently having this exact issue.
I had same problem also tried disabling Wi-Fi scanning and automatically turning off Wi-Fi when idle but it did not give better results.
Just today i switched phone Wi-Fi to 2.4 GHZ only mode - this workaround seem to work, no drain any more.

Thanks for that. This actually sounds possible.
On the first day when I flashed 6.0 with OTA, I really felt that the battery life has extended.
Then I switched through a lot of settings and also ended up with 2.4 and 5 (auto) on wifi.
Disabling all wifi related options did not help at all....
Will try this out now. :good:
I'm having severe delays with my wifi on my N5 with 6.0. In speedtest I'm pushing over 90mbps on 5GHz band, but it takes over 30 seconds to load a webpage/ apps. It's not gradually loading it's almost like a stall. Then after the page or app loads instantly. Why is this happening? Is it a severe delay to the server? IDK wtf is going on... I don't have battery drain issues from the wifi this is a different issue.
Same problem... Scanning and wifi off! Wifi drain. At first sight problem only seems to manifest while no wifi available. Tried the 2.4ghz only and seems to reduce though not eliminate the problem...

Works indeed better.. Wifi disappears from the Battery Usage chart, but when it was supposed to went on idle while I put it away, draining started again it seems.
There is a fat bug in the Power-Management in Android M 6.0 final, if you ask me...
All, please check whether it is actually drain or merely incorrect reporting of battery statistics. Symptoms seem similar to this thread
Remember battery 'drain' is where the level is falling at an abnormally fast rate. If WiFi is merely appearing at the top of the stats, but your battery life is actually fine, then it's not drain.
You need to leave your phone over several hours, and take measurements. When investigating or troubleshooting, then logically change one thing at a time, and re-measure again over a long period of time for comparison.

There is definitely a drain problem... because of Google Play Services not letting System into sleep mode and pulling constantly on Wifi...
That is how I think it comes to the problem.
Mine is now running smoothly, after I went into: Settings > Apps > Google Play Services (and maybe also Google Play Store) > hit menu ... > Deinstall Updates > Restart
If you go back into Play Store later on, it updates to the current version.
I also reseted the Network Settings... somewhere.
I tried what was suggested by others in this thread and din't have any luck. I posted how I solved the issue here:
reddit dot com/r/Nexus5/comments/3npesh/wifi_drain_persists_in_android_m_final_release/cvwo3x5
I did another modification. In Location settings I changed mode to device only (GPS).
So together:
- set WIFI to 2GHz only
- disable wifi scanning in location settings
- set location scanning to device only (GPS)
- set WIFI to automatically turn off in idle mode (advanced wifi settings)
WIFI is no longer main battery consumer (screen is now as expected). I'm not sure which of those is crucial but they all look like may improve things a bit (and together give big difference)
.
I thought this was bugging me too. WiFi is top of the list in battery stats. But then I disabled ElementalX gestures (doubletap2wake in my case) and that improved things a lot. Even though WiFi is still reported as the biggest power user.
This may be just me and of course it could always be better, but it might be worth giving this a try.
I'm having his exact issue. It's with any resources I access through WiFi, from sftp to ftp to web data, internal and external lans, internet, etc. It's definitely a 6.0 issue. I had it on preview 3 as well, and it was bad enough make me downgrade at the time. Now the official release is out and doing the same thing, I'm REALLY hoping they can fix this soon. It's practically unusable if you don't have dial-up time to kill.
Check my previous post - it completely fixed problem for me
I've experienced the same issue, after a week from the ota update (week in which I had a great battery lifetime), the problem arose out of the nowhere, and after searching the web for a workaround, it seems that putting the wifi in 2.4 ghz only made the trick...
Really hope that google will fix this soon...

This is the only thing that worked fully for me. Getting it to 2GHz made it a little bit better but didn't actually solve it. Uninstalling updates from play services and play store solved it for good and I didn't have to flash 5.1.1 and ota update.
:good:Thanks eyesore!
Hello. I have this issue... I disabled localisation through WiFi and I have also done a network settings reset but the problem still persists (not too much as before -45%- but around 25%).
How can I solve?
