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.

Hi all,
I also posted this in the Onyx thread.
Not sure if anybody's experienced the same problem, but I am running Onyx Jr 4.1.4 on my ELFin, and had absolutely no problem with the battery life. I didn't use Outlook at all to check email, because I didn't have a data plan, and just did some light web browsing with Opera Mini. My battery could easily last through a 10 hours day and I would have over 50% battery life left even with moderate use.
Recently I got a data plan, and setup Outlook to poll email every 30 min, and that's when I started getting serious battery issues. My battery cannot make it through a work day, and after ~ 6-7 hours I'd get a low battery warning with 15% battery left. I cannot make it home without charging my battery, or turning my phone off towards the end of the day.
I was surprised by how much additional power email polling drains, even when it's as infrequent as every 30 min, so I installed acbPower Meter, and ran some tests on it. My finding is ...
Phone off, BT off, EDGE off ~ 120 mA
Phone on, BT off, EDGE off ~ 132 mA
Phone on, BT on, EDGE off ~ 132 mA
So I think that's pretty expectable numbers. It shows turning GSM on only drains a bit more power, and BT on/off makes almost no effect. I'm not really using any BT service at this point, obviously.
Now, as soon as I turn EDGE on I see a whole different story ...
Phone on, BT on, EDGE on ~ 326-360 mA
Phone on, BT on, EDGE on, Outlook polling ~ 450-550 mA
So as soon as the data channel is on, even before any data is being transmitted or received (I also use spb wireless monitor to check throughout rate), the drain shoots up from ~ 130 to over 300. And when data is being received, it goes up to 450-550mA!
Fine, even then, an Outlook update only takes ~ 3 min. I setup a program (PhoneAlarm) to disconnect my data channel within 5 min of inactivity, and I thought that should fix the problem.
But it didn't.
So doing a bit more homework, I find what happens is PA DOES turn EDGE off within ~ 5 min of inactivity, but somehow the battery drain stays high (above 300mA) even though EDGE is already off.
I double-checked on SPB Wireless Monitor to make sure EDGE is off, and no data is being transmitted or received. However, battery drain remains above 300mA.
Worse, over time, the 300mA battery drain heats up the battery, to ~ 34-36C, which kills the battery even more. All this without any actual wireless data being transmitted or received.
It seems like the ROM continues to drain the battery even after the data channel is disconnected ... has anybody experienced similar issue?
I ran similar test with WLAN and same result - with WLAN connected, and data received, battery drain goes up to over 400mA. But even after I turn off Wifi the battery drain stays high.
I am not sure if it's a ROM issue, an Outlook issue, or if it is caused by some application on my phone? Has anybody else seen this issue?
You have noticed a very significant difference between Blackberry device and WM, that's why WM is never good at it, no matter comparing the data amount flow as well as the battery usage, it is just not up to the expectation.
The AS is a battery killer, ever since the WM 6.0 and I do not see there is any improvement over the WM6.5 either, hence a even less hope for the WM7, by then, the Android and Symbian will have something to knock it off anyway.
Well, is AS really the problem here though? I have ASynckiller installed and it closes AS when the USB port is not connected.
Not to mention, AS has always been in the picture even before I started using Outlook to check email regularly, and battery usage was perfectly fine, so not sure about that theory.
If Outlook is the problem, I could switch to another email application (say, Flexmail) ... I just don't know if Outlook is the problem here. If Outlook is constantly polling in the background, despite I've set it to update only every 30 min, I should see a higher CPU / memory usage by Outlook, but that's not the case. CPU usage is well below 10% most of the times when it's idling, and memory usage is minimal too, yet the phone continues to drain 350+ mA. It seems like more of a ROM thing to me than anything else.
I have almost the same story as number16's.
I m using onyx, too. though its WM6.5 and that's generally very much of a battery eater.
Hello everyone,
I'm using HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.3). I've been having a weird problem lately. When my screen goes off, I stop getting notifications after 10 minutes or so. I've never experienced such a problem before. My phone was running smoothly. I used to get notifications from Whatsapp even when my phone was on sleeping mode... I started not to get notifications from any application unless I turn the screen on and wait for 5 minutes or directly click on the application wait for it to establish connection with my mobile data. I guess my mobile data dies when my phone is on sleeping mode or something. I'm not sure though because my mobile data connection is always on but somehow applications lose connection with my mobile data until my phone wakes up. Can you help me with that? I've installed an application called Juice Defender awhile ago but I deleted it since it messed up my phone. I also tried to reset my phone but still no luck... Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
do you use "Juice Defender" ?
if so, try to disable it... i had the same problem (with other device... not the Desire S) and it been solved by disabling "Juice Defender"
Not sure what could be causing that if it persists after a factory reset.
Have you looked at using Tasker instead of juice defender? I also found juice defender quite buggy, and it was in searching for an alternative that I found tasker. I think it has a free trial period. Instal a plugin called synker. Your can then set tasker to periodically force a sync of your accounts. My profile forces a sync for
2 minutes every 15 minutes, then turns auto sync off (if my screen is off). Works well and saves battery too.
Taker is quite tricky to get used to, so if you struggle, get those two installed then send me a PM and I'll send you the tasker profile. Import it and your problem will be solved!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
ive had a simaliar issue
wifi and data go off randomly when in sleep mode
im on stock 2.3.5 and not rooted
no juicedefender apps
On my DS after the phone is left asleep overnight - I never turn it off as it's my alarm clock - I frequently get "NO SERVICE" and have to reboot.
Never got to the bottom of it either....
I just upgraded to stock GB 2.3.5. Everything seems fine (I did a Factory Reset to kill the Tethering Manager error and haven't seen it since).
I re-installed GPS Test app from the market, which I had before.
I've used it a few times. Every time, I end up exiting out and exiting the program thru Task Manager. So right now it is NOT running and doesn't show up in the list of running Apps.
Yet according to my Battery Usage screen, both Wifi and GPS Test are among the top users of battery, EACH at 24% of usage (don't pay too much attention to the high % as this is over the past 2 hrs where only 3% of total battery has been used, as the phone has been sitting on my desk resting). The thing that is weird is that they stay in Lock-Step with each other all the time (ie both always report the same usage percentage). I have Wifi set to "NEVER SLEEP" because I have read that this is actually better for battery life, although here in my office it is not hooked up to wifi. So I understand that Wifi might use battery if it's searching. But WHY does GPS Test use any battery if the program isn't even running? And it does this REGARDLESS of whether I actually shut off the GPS or turn it on in the settings.
Any ideas? I'm about to just uninstall GPS Test but wondering why this might be happening, as I'd like to have the app on my phone in general.
I bought a Sony Smartwatch one week ago and I am using it with an HTC One X. I installed Twitter and RSS on it. I configured both apps to sync every 15 minutes. I noticed that new tweets did not appear on my watch so I went to look what the problem was. I saw that the data connection was not active. I thought it was Juice Defender that did that so I disabled JD.
Tried again, still no luck. Data connection was gone again. I found the problem; it was the power saver mode from the One X that was activated. I deactivated it and the tweets started flowing in, and synching took place every 15 minutes without any problems at all. But... the battery of my One X was getting drained like crazy. So I had to turn off the data connection.
I've now been searching for days to find the most energy efficient way to still get new tweets on my watch every 15 minutes without having a dead battery after a few hours. What I basically need to find is a way for the One X to activate the data connection, sync all SmartWatch apps and then turn off the connection again.
I tried configuring Juice Defender to activate the data connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. I thought that the SmartWatch app would synchronize as soon as Juice Defender would activate the data connection but this was not the case. Apparently the SmartWatch app tries to sync exactly every 15 minutes and when it fails, it doesn't wait for the data connection to get activated. It just gives up and waits another 15 minutes instead of waiting until there's an active data connection. That's quite lame actually, and I don't understand why Sony didn't think about that.
I don't have anymore ideas as to what I can do now... Anyone here who has the solution I'm looking for? I really like the watch and it would be awesome if I'd find a great solution to this problem I'm having. In the meantime, I'm just synching the apps manually on my phone every now and then.
Well the solution would be to have the data connection activate in the 14th minute, and drop in the 16th. You could also use Tasker, which could activate the data connection a few seconds before twitter updates, and end shortly after (maybe 15-30 seconds after it starts.)
Hi guys!
I did a lot of googling and searching through XDA, but never found a solution for my problem, so I might as well try it here.
Recently I updated my Sony Xperia X Compact to AOSP 10. Now when I am connected to wifi (and it does NOT matter whether it is 2.4/5GHz or IPv4/IPv6, I tried everything) and my screen is locked, my system seems to put the wifi connection into some kind of battery saving mode. Notifications then will hardly come through. You can also see this in WhatsApp Web - every two minutes or so, "Phone not connected" will show up, and messages take up to 2 or 3 mins to get delivered. Then I can use Whatsapp Web normally for 30 secs, after which my phone seems to disconnect again. If I unlock my screen, WhatsApp Web will immediately (!) start working normally again, also missing notifications (e.g. Signal) will then come through.
While of course this might be a ROM bug, I am at least 100% sure it IS ROM-related, as I used exactly the same phone with exactly the same router without any problems while on Android 9 LineageOS.
Another interesting thing - if I charge my phone, during charging WhatsApp Web works completely without problems. The moment i UNPLUG the phone, wifi gets somewhat throttled agian.
Does anybody know a working solution for this? I do not have the option "Disable wifi sleep" or something similar - i believe Google has dropped this option somewhere around Pie.
Thanks in advance!

AFAIK there are kind of wifi energy saving options on some devices. But IDK if you can enable or disable wifi when phone is locked
