Hi
After reading about the new dsp tunneling feature I decided to try it. I let my phone play music using poweramp all night. The results was 3.5% of battery every hour, and CPU didn't sleep, it worked at 300mhz all this time. Trying with play music and got same AudioMix wakelock and 300mhz CPU, no deep sleep at all.
My setup is cataclysm with Franco r19. I never used stock so maybe it's the custom rom problem.
Do any of you got it working? Which means deep sleep during music playback with screen off.

I'm running stock ROM/kernel and Mediaserver is one of the highest battery-consuming voices, close-to compete with screen.
It keeps the phone 100% awake during music reproduction.
Which means dsp audio tunneling doesn't work for you also.
I wanted to ask Google what's the problem but can't find a way that doesn't include phone call. Every time I try "contact us" option I can't choose Nexus device.
That dsp thing was one of the reasons I've bought the Nexus...

Did you run the same test with google play music?

Yes.. Like I said exactly the same.

hmmm, so it was a lie
wish Google would get called up on stuff, just one would be nice
but all the android sites have to keep their noses brown so they keep getting free stuff
Anybody else ?
Running perfectly with google music as long as one does not activate any EQ settings. Around 2% battery drain per hour
I'm getting the same results as well. I thought it was because of isyncr or something trying to play count but it seems like everyone else is having this issue as well

I assumed the phone wouldn't deep sleep it would just use less CPU cycles. Now I'm not so sure because I'm finding music streaming to use more or less the same battery as local playback.

Hi all.
Usually listen to tune-in radio app and set the timer to shut off automatically. I am usually asleep by then. Tonight I was still awake when tune-in turned off, and I picked up my phone and it was super hot.
Now I am concerned that I am gonna damage my NS listening to tune-in. Is there anything that I can do to reduce the amount of heat it is generating?

Hi Heeter,
Have the same issue running Tune-in on my HTC One X .... yours thread is over a year old but it's the only one I could find on this topic, just wondering if you ever found a resolution ?
Thanks!

Install CPU spy and see if the app is constantly running at Max CPU speed. This would cause much heat

So i bough betterbatterystats off the market to see if anything would have caused wakelocks and i saw that the stock music player on virtuous rom caused alot ...
Now i wonder if i use a 3rd party media app will it help ? Because my battery drains like crazy ...

I would just try some of the trial or free players for a few days and see if it makes a difference in your battery stats. I use PlayerPro.

I think because every phone is unique in what they have on their sd card, apps they are using, roms running, its best to try on the phone that might be experiencing the problem. I can tell you I don't have excessive wakelocks on my phone with PlayerPro, but you still could.
I did have a mediascannerservice wakelock that was draining my battery bad a month ago and I backed up my sd care and formatted it. Problem went away.
There was a bad media file on the card. PITA because i have a 32 gig card.

Ohh because honestly battery drains while a listen to music infact my phone is kinda like my ipod? And seriously battery fly's away whit screen off im giving it a try whit ankers ..

First question: do you listen to music? If do, then the phone won't sleep while it's playing.
2nd question: what if your kernel wake lock status? That's what matters more.

The phone does not sleep while listening to music ??? Yes i listen alot of music is that a kernel issue ?
I dont think its the kernel tried a few it was the same thing..
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
Music player should be a partial wakelock I.e. using CPU to control and play music but not using screen. If your listening to music and lock your phone it will not sleep, if it did, chances are music player would stop. And also if you were on about audio out wakelock too, that's so the phone can play notification sounds and system sounds without waking up the screen I believe. So its probably ran alongside the music player to play music when locked. But as far as music player is concerned, any app capable of playing music with the screen off will use a wakelock to do so.

Partial wake locks are not what you want to be concerned about (for the most part). At the top of betterbatterstats, change from partial wake locks to kernel wake locks. That's is what will be eating your battery.
Also,, es phone doesn't sleep when listening to music because decoding the song uses CPU. Like the guy above me said, if the phone slept, then there is no playback.

Nope, those are normal. If there was a recognizable app. Then you'd probably be worried.

Hey, I'm loving everything about this phone besides it's audio. Like the title says, the bass is muddy and I hear random pops and cracks. Pandora also skips every third song or randomly stops regardless of data or WiFi connection. I'm coming from the Samsung captivate and haven't had these issues.
Pandora is the app I use most which is pretty frustrating. Anyone know any kind of fix or having similar problems?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
same here
I am having the same exact issues. The pops and cracks are the most annoying
i don't have any of the audio issues. pandora does suck pretty badly. like you said, every third song (sometimes every other song) will just pause and 'buffer' forever.
could be a pandora/ICS issue or a pandora/one x issue, don't know which, though

I'm guessing your battery is less than 40% in which case the HOX goes in to a pretty aggressive power saving scheme.
It does? Where did you see this or get this info

It's well known if you do the advanced power menu mod you can see for yourself. For instance - the phone operates on single core only and that one core is downclocked to 1ghz max. Aggressive enough for you? Run a benchmark at 50% battery and then the same benchmark at 25% battery....
Huh that's kinda crazy to know thanks. Kinda piss me off though restricting our phones cores etc....
Beaups that's some crazy info but considering how fast this phone is, I won't worry about it. But yeah, the mem management is crazy.
I just tried out the iHeartRadio app which seems like Pandora with more features. So far the audio seems way better and it hasn't skipped or randomly paused a song yet and this is on data. This may be my new go to app.

No, i'm at 6%.
something you are running is causing the activity to spike.
Percentages like this are meaningless without something to compare it to. 40% isn't unheard of if you never use the phone, for instance.
I was having this issue yesterday. I installed FAUX kernel and it went away; screen: 28%, mediaserver 16%, rocket player 13%, android os 10%. Yesterday at this time my battery meter was 40% ; today 67%.
That could be coincidence and not correlation though. If you are up for the challenge, a custom kernel could help.
However, like vincent law said, it's all relative. If android os is 40% and your battery is at 95%, that's not really so bad is it...
When android os is high... It's an app keeping your phone awake 90% of the time

Reboot when you see this happening.
I've seen it once before... I didn't think to check OS monitor before rebooting to see exactly which process it was though.
I have this problem. Anyone got solutions to it?
Try disabling some location features in Google now. I found the traffic cards to give big battery drains in Android OS. Or you can check which in settings - double slide down from top > location, to see which app is using the highest request. Google play service was usually high when I had huge android os drain.

I have also noticed that at times google play services has a huge drain on the battery. I was wondering if play store setting had anything to do with it. I have mine set to " do not automatically update".
I have both facebook and google search on low battery use. For Google location reporting, I only have location history turned on. I don't know if this helps.
I start getting the same issue since yesterday.

I've also been experiencing the same issue. Started a few days ago. Checked tonight right before I put my phone on the charger after a full day of use, and Android OS had 9+ hours of awake time. It's driving me crazy and I can't figure out what is causing it.
I am so disappointed!!! I have the same bug. I had it on my old Phone (Samsung Galaxy S). I flashed 3 different firmwares on my i9000. Nothing helped. Now I bought the Nexus 5 and after one day it starts again
I went to bed with 97% Battery. Woke up and it looked like this:
It is stock Firmware with no changes. Maybe it is because of my google account? I am using the same google account for my nexus5 and i9000.
Check your WiFi connection. I don't really know why (yet) but sometimes, being connected to certain WiFi networks increases Android OS usage. This happens a lot in my college's network so I believe it's a problem with that, because it does not happen at my home's WiFi. You could try disabling WiFi in the different networks you use and check which is draining.
Hope this helps.

Yes I had this problem. I flashed factory image and enable high accuracy location AND reporting. My problem I pinpointed was Google Now NOT refreshing.
It would hang there trying to update and without location it didn't have anything to report and it would eat battery. I would force close the launcher and notice the wakelock stopped shortly, to return to Now not updating.

I found a way to prevent the Play Services and the Android System from eating my battery.
First I noticed that it was only happening, when the location services were enabled, and then I found the App Ops App for KitKat.
All I did was disable the rights for those two Apps to use location and to keep the device awake.
I'm having the location services on - and working in 4sq, Maps, etc,.. - and no more drain.
Maybe you can verify this?
Try this
My Android OS is at 3% after 19 hours.
Google services not enough to even show.
Battery 75%.
Light use 55 minutes screen time.
Google auto sync off, i sync when i need to.
I don't let play store check for app updates .
I turn location on when i need it.
I use mostly wifi some LTE
Unchecked wifi scanning always available.
Keep wifi on during sleep
Minimize battery use when wifi is on is checked.
I refresh my email accounts when i open them so it's not being checked automatically.
No battery or services complaints (Google services is so low it doesn't even register), give it a try?

The problem is definitely caused by the Wifi! I am using my College-Dorm-Wifi over night. When turning it off, the battery life is normal.
But turning off the Wifi is no solution! I don't have data so I am only using my phone in college networks
There musts be another way.

Just wondering if anyone knows if this is working on our phones and whether or not the CPU should be sleeping while music is playing. I use Google music and it doesn't seem to work

I know the first day or two I had the phone it worked. I had Better Battery Stats installed would set a custom reference, start Play Music(set to on Device mode), then turn the screen off, and at least 75% of the screen off time would be deep sleep mode. I haven't seen it since then though. I do use Viper4Android so that would probably have an effect on it.
