I have been using Carbon 1.7, which is 4.2.2 for about a month now. All of the sudden for the past few days when I take my phone of the charger in the morning I have lost a few defaults (most notably input method). It reverts back to stock. Also I have a call recorder app and deep sleep battery saver which run all the time, now both have been shut off and I have to manually restart them. I also lose my custom wallpaper and it goes back to stock???
Any suggestions,
Wayne

The dreaded 'Sleep/Death' has returned. . . sort of!
My phone began turning itself off when the screen shut off only after long periods of time, while I'm asleep overnight.
This began after I went through Cognition 3.04 and set many things to my taste. It still took days before the problem started. I then re-set every thing back and the problem went away.
I'm now done to two possible items that could have caused the problem:
1) The 3D App Screen enabled (yes I know it says Experimental and may cause instability)
2) Sync disabled (an attempt to keep from having to delete tons of emails that have already been taken care of on my computer.)
At the moment I have the 3D App Drawer enabled and Sync ON, but, as I said, it will be a few days before the problem shows.
Any thoughts on why either of these two things would cause a phone turn off?
It seems to be the 3D App Drawer. That's the fastest it has happened about 14-15 hours. Just to make sure I now have the 3D animation and the Sync off and we'll see if it happens anymore. I'm certain I can live without it!
Hi, I currently run Android Revolution HD 6.6.5 with Faux kernel for ICS v6 - recently I have noticed that after midnight if I leave the phone for some time all my data connections switch off (WiFi and mobile data). As soon as I unlock the screen they turn back on and work for around 15 minutes or so after screen goes back off then they turn off again. I have WiFi set to Never turn off and have tried toggling the setting. Is there something I'm missing as it never does it in the daytime, only through the night and only if not on the charger?
I have tried setting WiFi to FAST in a Terminal as I saw Faux had added a power saving setting in v6 which I don't need.
Then it's in the kernel, the power saving option is making it do that. Perhaps wipe re flash, and choose a different kernel. One without the power save in it. Hope this helps.

Not sure if it's still the case but on Sense 3.6 ICS releases the WiFi sleep policy was reversed i.e. never turn off was turn off after 15 minutes and vice versa.

Aah, I will try setting it to 'After 15 minutes' to see if that makes a difference. Strange it only happens late at night though
This happens to me too.
I am on ARHD 6.6.7 with Bricked 1.1. My wi-fi also will turn off during the most of the night. If I leave it idle during the day wi-fi stays on, so it seems like there is some kind of power saving set to turn off wi-fi at night hours.
I will add that I had the same problem when I used the Faux kernel.
Anyone else have the same problem?
I came to this forum for the exact same reason, my wifi AND mobile internet shut down during 0 and 7a.m. after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Turns out it is a software related problem, HTC messed up with its ICS battery saving feature which can NOT be controlled in the system settings. For some strange reason it only affects a few users tho.
Anyhow, the forum search gave me the solution. What you need is the SmartSyncDisabler app from the play store. Install, set to disable ActiveSync and REBOOT your device.

Totally made my day (or rather night) to find this.
Hi all,
A coworker bought the SGS3 on my recommendation and its battery life is absolutely horrendous. He went into the advanced wifi menu and changed the one setting to Never as was recommended here. But with wifi manually turned off it will just turn itself on like every minute. Then it goes back off after a few seconds then it turns itself back on after a minute and repeat, etc.
I can be in the settings menu looking at the wifi screen and the toggle is set to off, and it will just turn itself on.
I'm thinking this probably has something to do with the terrible battery life. He can only get to about 2pm each day before having to recharge and he is not a power user. something definitely wrong with the phone.
The phone is running stock software and is on the latest update LHE not rooted or unlocked.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

There is a thread on this already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878779.
For me the issue was Tower Defense, which had in it's permissions that it could change the WiFi state. I suggest you look through all the recently downloaded apps for one that can change the WiFi state.

Yes, I saw that thread. I've gone into the wifi advanced settings and made sure all the auto-connect and wifi data hog settings were set to off. nobody has found out the definite cause of this? He doesnt have Tower Defense installed. It's obviously a flaw as tons of people have this issue.
It's very disappointing because it's ruining an otherwise good phone. Who wants a phone that with only light usage is dead everyday by 2pm??
Has anyone experienced any issue with the Preferred Network Type not saving? Every time I reboot my phone, I have to manually select LTE as it has reverted back to 3G after the reboot.
I also have an issue with Android OS taking up a huge % of battery, keep awake time basically the entire time the phone is on, but only 10mins of CPU time.
I am running CM11 Snapshot 6 with the modded KK baseband and TWRP recovery.
Decided to revert back to stock rooted rom. Seemed to fix all of the issues. The wakelock was caused buy Bluetooth being on.
Hi
I've got a brand new PH-1 and haven't yet had time to set it up properly, only started it up, let it update software and used for an hour or so before testing the idle battery drain.
I haven't installed any apps or changed any settings other than to disable the google app (to prevent it listening for or responding to "ok google"). I tried out the 360 camera, signed in to gmail and browsed a few websites, before charging back to full and restarting the phone before this test anyway.
But leaving it idle with the screen off and with phone network disabled (there's not even a SIM inserted), only wifi on with good signal, it lost 65% battery in under 22 hours. Screen on time was less than five minutes.
Is this a hardware issue I should RMA, or is it considered normal? If this is normal and there's no easy fix, I'll probably end up having to return the phone anyway for a refund, because if it can't even last a day and half in idle there's no way it would last a reasonable amount of time with normal usage.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Since there isn't a sim card installed, try going to airplane mode and then turning WIFI on.
I am getting about 1.2% drain with cell network and wifi enabled along with all my standard apps installed.
On a typical day with 1-2h SOT, I usually have 60-70% battery left at midnight. I'd try to reset the phone, and then testing again - occasionally a system update will end up doing something funny
I left it overnight with airplane mode on, so even wifi was off, and it's a little better but not by much. Screen on time was one minute.
With airplane mode on, screen off, no dodgy apps, the phone really shouldn't be doing anything to drain battery.
I'll try a full factory reset and see what happens.
Just to follow up, a full factory reset seems to have fixed the issue. Even after doing the same things I had done before (connected to wifi, updated, logged in to gmail, etc) the battery now drains at a much more sensible rate.
Very strange that a factory reset made a difference since it was new from the factory when I had the issue, but I guess something strange happened in the update like dsip suggested.
Thanks for the help!

That's ? percent normal behavior. Anytime you flash a ROM (new phone =new ROM) you need to wait a bare minimum of a charge cycle (more like three in my experience) before you get the slightest idea what your actual battery drain is going to look like. think of it like breaking in the engine on a new car.
