[Q] Partial Wakelock - 'audiomix' & 'n' - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
Since I've been using my Nexus 5 a few days ago, I've noticed that there's quite a number of wakelocks on my device.
Through the use of BetterBatteryStats, here's what I found:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can someone tell me what is 'audiomix' and 'n' processes that's keeping my device on partial wakelock. I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you.

I have the same thing with AudioMix and ideas anybody?

Same thing with me.
AudioMix is the top one

any ideas anybody?

Think i've figured out how to stop AudioMix...turn off Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds

same here... just only audiomix, not "n"

I have a nexus 4 with the same issue, must be a general 4.4 problem because I never saw it in any other version.

AudioMix is for audio output partial wakelock.
you can check bugreport to get more info.

maybe that is responsible for listening "OK Google"?

I have the same. AudioMix is the largest partial wakelock by a lot. I've searched around for information but everything seems to be from the past week or so, without any answers. Looks like it's something to do with KitKat specifically

I'm having the same issue. AudioMix accounts for %95 of my wakelocks. I have disabled Google Now, Location, and Google Music. Can't figure out what's causing it.

Do all of you guys have touch sounds enabled? The sounds for locking and unlocking the phone? These wakelocks dont look severe at all. Unless its keeping your device awake for hours and hours, I wouldn't even worry about it.

I have all of those settings disabled. As of the time of writing this wakelock has kept the phone awake for 32min of 2hr uptime. It's not severe but it is but far the worst offending wakelock.

Oh well yea, that sounds like its a bit of an issue keeping your phone awake for 25% of its uptime off charger.

My phone is kept awake more than 95% off charger cos of AudioMix (MediaServer ?).
I had done a factory reset in TWRP and also tried turning off Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds, but it does not seem to help at all.
Nexus 5 on stock ROM and Franco r14.

I was worried about the Audiomix wakelock until I realized(for me at least) that Better Battery Stats is ringing up wakelock time for it even when the screen is on. Can literally constantly refesh the stats and watch the timer go up. If I turn the screen off the timer stops. Not really getting any extra battery drain from it as when the screen is off the phone goes into deep sleep.

Ok I greenify 2 background apps and found that the Audiomix time stopped increasing. 1 or both of them should be the culprit.

Actually, I had the same issue.. I haven't gotten around to seeing if maybe it was an app issue for me, but when I checked BBS, it stated it was Google Services causing the phone to stay awake.

Try using Wakelock Blocker. I think theres a module in Xposed for that.

Battery Drain on XNPH33R

I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

You could just download Battery Monitor Widget and check the standby drain.
The fact is that the standby drain with the latest OTA is between 18-30 ma, which is higher than it should.
With the cm11 nightly releases from these week there is a 6-10ma drain in the same circumstances.
Of course double tap to wake + gestures enabled.
So the drain problem is still here.
The problem occur also with franco r14 kernel, which means there is something wrong with the system files, not the kernel.

Change the monitor option to reverse mA.
Then enable monitoring, set it for 1 minute.
Leave the phone for 5 minutes and check the history file.
Clean install
TRY clean installing wipe everything and install it again ive been experiencing GREAT BATTERY LIFE. Its been on standby for like 2 hours and still at 100% on the 30o it would go down like 3-5% in the same amount of time
I'm using M9 with Franco r14.
These results show 5mA/h. I think these are good results in airplane mode.

I got 10 hours at 100%. With cm11 nightly. Wifi and mobile data off.
About the program, you need to press on the history until you got ma reading, not percent per hour.

See you sure it isn't Google Play Services hogging your battery? It shows up as Android OS in the battery stats sometimes. Try the fix in my signature.
Transmitted via Bacon
I agree Google Play services does do that sometimes. I have solved this on my phone by simply clearing cache and then going into Google Play Services then click on Manage Space then scroll down to the bottom and Clear All Data and see how it goes from there
OP. You're not the only one that experienced the increased drain.
I opened yet another Jira bug report due to this drain.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
Here is my results. It's consistent as well.
The proximity sensor issue is fixed since I used a camera to double check. Will sleep on it tonight to see if the drain is poor again...
I dirty flashed the zip from android police.
BTW there is also a new radio how's everyone finding that?
The multi touch seems to be mostly fixed. I get issues when my fingers are too close together but it can detect 10 fingers without problems now... Before it had issues detecting 2-3...

I also observe 18-20mA battery usage on 33R vs 7-10mA on 25R.
So they fixed something, but not everything for sure on CM11S.

Steve Kondik got the new jira ticket with unfixed idle drain assigned to himself again. Hope he can shed some light on the topic again.

I certainly hope so.

Battery life is is bad now. 4+ hour wake time.

So I had great battery life not too long ago but now I can barely make it a whole day. My awake times are very high and I can't pinpoint the cause. I attached some wakelock detector info. Right now I have about an hour and a half of screen on and 16% battery left.

I am having same issue with phone getting really warm. No new app installs other than things like wakelock detector. I can't figure out what is causing it and better battery stats isn't showing me anything.
Add me to the list. Never needed my third battery until yesterday. No out of the ordinary modifications.

Try freezing maps and other not needed Gapps, it solved my long wake times. I also use Tasker to hibernate all my apps then put the phone in airplane mode when the screen turns off then waken them up and turn wifi back on when the screen comes on, battery life through the roof

So what's a normal awake time?
I've had battery problems in the past with other phones but usually wake lock detector can find the offending app. Nothing is jumping out at me this time. Google seems to be using a lot but I would like to keep using those apps unaffected.

Same here I took my phone off the charger at 10pm by 1am I was down to 37% with 17 min of sot, something isn't right, I'll try to grab ss tonight. And yes the phone gets really hot
I just had my G3 replaced after my new one suddenly died on me.
I notice a couple of subtle software changes by AT&T.
Yesterday my battery was on 60%. Before I left the office.
When I got home (45 minutes) I took the phone out of the pouch and it was really hot and the battery wad won to 19%.
First time this has happened to me. Will have to monitor.
I got fed up with it all. I did a factory reset. I'm going slowly re add apps back. I certainly noticed a performance bump after the factory reset. Night and day. I didn't even realize how much it slowed until i reset it.

wake lock detector isn't really a good app for telling you exactly what the issue is. betterbatterystats is your best bet to find out exactly what the issue is - it will tell you precisely what the issue is holding your phone awake.
Sometimes, shutting down and pulling the battery out for a second is all it takes to fix the problem. rebooting doesn't always solve whatever it is...
My phone "freezes" now and again, it always has something to do with me texting, but screen off and on will fix it..and it does get warm when frozen per say...but it will normally fix itself with me interacting with it. But if your guys are not holding it when it happens I can see it draining out your battery stuck at higher clock for no reason...now wonder if I should pull logs....
When I say interact I mean I have to push the power button. Knock on won't work. Similar to the dreaded sleep of death but seems to pull out of it.

Like another user mentioned pulling battery or at least resetting the phone periodically helps with battery and helps keep things running smooth. Using Better Battery Stats and looking at Alarms and Partial Wakelocks is a good way to determine if there is a rogue app killing your battery. A couple good Xposed Modules, if you're not using them or aware of them, are Greenify to help hibernate apps that like to constantly wake the phone and NLB Unbounce module is a good one for if you want to keep your location on and keep Google Now functionality. You can set how often you want the wakelocks and alarms to trigger and with the donate you can do the same with any wakelock/alarm. Just be cautious if using the pro version as some alarms or wakelocks if disabled or tinkered with incorrectly could make the phone unstable. Just a few tips/ideas. I have the VS985 and have had pretty good battery life since getting everything set up and debloated. Usually about 17-18 hours on battery (I don't sleep much) and 4-5 hours screen on time. I like the screen on the brighter side as well, which usually I adjust with the status bar so I don't have an exact percentage for the brightness. For some other tips and apps or even maybe something you haven't thought about check out this thread: G3 Battery Tweaks :good:
Factory reset.

I noticed my phone was getting warm in the pocket too, with bad battery life. I finally figured out the phone was waking as if it thought it was getting the 'double tap' to wake. I believe you can disable the double tap in the secret menu (3845#*850#)

Nope, actually I'm a newbie in terms of rooting.
After I root my device I'm currently observing it. Came across to this thread and share my situation as well, even my battery I'm keeping an eye for it. Had one problem where as before I go to sleep, the only app working while my phone is lock is my alarm clock, I set on smart plan and while sleeping my wifi is still on. Form 1:30am to 7:30am my battery starts in 66% and when I woke up its in 53%..
Having 800mb-900mb running in Android os usage Is alarming? Pls enlighten me. I think I messed up my phone because I rooted it..

Hi, as i am also a newbie, i am not sure i am able to help much. but I think it could be a rogue app that is causing the large battery drain on your phone.
after playing around for awhile, i discovered the issue for my phone lagging, which is caused by the notification app (Floatify). i have stopped the app and my phone is back to being speedy and fast. perhaps you can try to disable or stop some apps to see if it helps.
Where can I see this? Is this the one that you ask? Kindly see the attached link. http://imgur.com/1xzDWUS

Hi, as i am also a newbie, i am not sure i am able to help much. but I think it could be a rogue app that is causing the large battery drain on your phone.
after playing around for awhile, i discovered the issue for my phone lagging, which is caused by the notification app (Floatify). i have stopped the app and my phone is back to being speedy and fast. perhaps you can try to disable or stop some apps to see if it helps.

Horrible Battery Life 2h SOT - Need Kernel or other tweaks advice

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

There are really no specials apps installed. Also Battery usage (detailed) doesn't give a lot special.

Nope I am not rooted. I am looking for options what can cause this and preferable without root. I am afraid that root will only will make things worse, while this already really worse.

In the months that you've been dealing with this, have you factory reset your phone?

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..
There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.
You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.
You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help
Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.
Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.
Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...
Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot
Airplane mode + Wifi enable.
