Wakelock Detector Help (the App) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I was wondering if someone could give me some insights on why Wakelock Detector refuses to open for me now.
I've been using it for about a month now but all of a sudden when I go to open it it says "Unfortunetely Wakelock Detector
has stopped". Im on a Nexus 5, rooted, stock w/xposed,gravitybox and a couple other modules. .....Ive uninstalled WLD, reinstalled it
, cleared the data, everything I can think of....
Anyone know why this is happening??

Bump, anyone??

Have you tried clearing app data, or reinstalling?

You get the xposed module to allow battery stats for android 4.4? That's what I had to do.

I did, but no luck unfortunately... It will work for a minute perhaps then crash and keep giving me the "unfortunately wakelock detector has stopped" or whatever it says... . Any other ideas???

Yes I do! Better battery stats works fine but I really enjoy wakelock det. app.
Is there anything else I could be missing? Im completely stock other than Xposed and Franco Kernal. Could there be anything else messing with its operation to open and function properly??

Same problem here too. Can't get Wake lock Detector to open, I get the same message and have tried installing the xposed module
All other battery apps I've tried work.

I've got the exact same problem, can't get my head around why
Nexus 5 stock rom with xposed installed

Same here, I've been having this issue for a long time already. I've actually given up on WLD because no one seems to have an answer as to why it force closes :/

Long time has passed on this thread- got here googling for solution to the same problem.
Anyway, for me it was a conflict with another xposed module (force fast scroll) that caused some apps to close, including WD. Took me several iterations of enable/disable/reboot xposed modules

can you freeze your wi-fi calling?

I tried to freeze wi-fi calling in Titanium Backup. But after that I still see this app when I check it in setting-->application-->managing-->running. And just as before, you cannot kill it from running application. Is this normal?
I used bloat freezer to freeze it and my battery life has been 10000000xs better ever since.

not normal. i froze it on mine, and my husband froze it on his, both using titanium and i havent seen it running since. perhaps you need a reboot? the app isnt in your drawer anymore, is it?

I just took couple of screen shots. This is my first time to link files from dropbox. Hopefully it will work.
here it shows the wi-fi calling has been frozen
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.23.55.png
and here is shows the wi-fi calling is stll in running app list
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.22.59.png
I cannot see the wi-fi calling app in the application screen. --if that's what you mean in my "drawer"(?)
When you say reboot, do you mean press hold the power button to turn the phone and and back on again? I think I did that last night but apparently it didn't resolve the problem.
p.s. the same thing happens to one of "my account" app as well (the one cannot be killed by manage application in setting)
same case as OP. Froze wifi calling and MyAccount with TitaniumBackup, but both apps still run. (yes they disappeared from the menu, but they are still constantly running)

You should have to reset it... cause i had the same problem i froze My Device and it sent me into this weird force close loop but after i reset the phone it didn't show up in the processes again.

factor reset? again? well, if that's the only easy option...
btw, I think someone mentioned there is thread that gives a complete of bloatware that could be frozen. But maybe I not good enough at searching, can anyone point it out? Thanks.

No no no i mean like battery pull or turn the power off and on not Factory Reset! and ALL bloatware can be frozen and/or removed if you want! But the only reason you get this weird force close loop is cause you freeze/remove the program, but the process is still running leading to the phone not knowing what to do. Than after you reset it(Not Factory Reset) it wont start up because you have removed the app.

I do not have any FC problem. My problem is simply that, when I freeze the bloats with titanium backup, these bloats would be removed from the app drawer BUT still be running in the background. (this scenario applies to WIFI calling and Myaccount)
I have restarted the phone, factory reset, and tried this on 2 phones already. So I really doubt that would fix the problem.
1 question: what do you freeze them with? Maybe bloat freezer can do a better job than titanium?
just kidding! I went to the menu you are referring to and saw the apps under running processes for me too! This scares me, however since the program is present but frozen, aka can't be actively run, I am ambivalent as to whether it has an adverse effect on battery life. (maybe since it's frozen it is present on the list but won't drain battery?) Also, maybe it's presence there insures that it won't get in the way of an otA

Maybe you should try bloat freezer and reply back.

Or you can use AntTek App Manager(It is free and does the same thing that Bloat Freezer does)

I completely uninstalled it from my phone. If it 'breaks' OTA updates, I'm sure there will be a ROM dump within hours anyway on here, if I'm not running CM7 by then that is.
yea the thing is that, I sometimes want to unfreeze Myaccount or WIFI calling to actually use them. Uninstalling/reinstalling is quite tedious every time

How do you determine which app is causing a partial wakelock?

I just did a full wipe and flashed CleanRom 2.1, and since then I've been having partial wakelock problems.
I keep getting LocationManagerService partial wakelocks that stay there forever (>95% of the time). The phone never goes into "deep sleep." I can't figure out which app is calling the service, and it comes up under "Android System" in BetterBatteryStats.
In the Alarms tab on BBS, com.google.andoird.apps.maps has 95 wakeups in an hour, almost all of them ALARM_WAKEUP_SENSOR_COLLECTION_POLICY. I haven't used Maps for anything.
I can make this go away if I disable "Google Location Services" and reboot, but that seems to increase how long it takes to get a location lock (I'm always on Wi-Fi).
Anyone have any ideas / experience with something like this?

I've had similar problems in the past and Latitude was the culprit. I also had LocationManagerService wakelock problems from the last update for 1Weather after they upgraded their radar map to GoogleMaps.
Try going into maps--settings--location settings--and uncheck the report from this device option
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I just updated 1Weather and noticed the new radar...uninstalled and I haven't seen the wakelock since rebooting. All boxes are ticked in location services. I don't have a report from this device option - only VZW, GPS, and Google.

If you updated 1Weather then that was likely the issue. Same thing happened when I updated. I spoke with their support department last week and ended up sending them a few logcats. They sent me several updated apks and after a few tries they were able to stop the wakelock. I believe they are supposed to be updating the app sometime this week with the fix.
Try a different kernel too... I know one other person besides myself had wakelock problems with the kernel that comes with CM10 Official. I put lean kernel v0.9 on my phone and now my phone is sleeping like a baby when I'm not actively using it.

Yep, after a factory reset and no reinstalling 1Weather I can confirm that was the issue. Glad they got it fixed, the app is great otherwise

Media Server wakelock caused by Snapchat

I've seen some people having trouble with the "Mediaserver" sucking up their battery on the Moto g. I found out what is is, but I don't know how to fix it.
It's caused by a wakelock called "qcamera2factory" and it always starts when I use Snapchat, an app most of you guys should know and probably use. So the "qcamera2factory" starts every time I open Snapchat for the first time after forcing to "kill" Media Server with an app called "Mediaserver killer" and if I don't kill it that way, it just keeps on adding time to the "keep wake" on the battery screen.
It sucks that I can't use Snapchat and I really want a fix for it. Can someone on here help me with this?
Thanks in advance, I would really apreciate it!
fyi: I don't have snapchat but the last 2 days I had the same wakelock from qcamera2factory, solved by clearing data on media storage, force stopping camera and gallery and a reboot, since I don't have root atm.

What do you mean by clearing data and forece stopping gallery? Thanks for your reply
settings/applications/all, search for the names I mentioned, and click on them and you will see the 'clear data' and 'force close' buttons

It's not caused by Snapchat, it just appears sometimes when you use the camera. I had this wakelock twice and in both cases I was just making photos, I don't have Snapchat installed.
Happened to me with Focal (beta) camera, and skype. Seems to be something buggy with camera apps
Had this wakelock as well. Turned out to be Skype. Uninstalled and everything Is good.
Who'da thunk a Microsoft app would degrade the performance of an Android phone?

[Q] Message App Problems

Recently I've been having issues with Skype/Whatsapp. Sometimes I have to open the app to see that I have messages. Usually the phone would vibrate and the LED light would flash to indicate that I have a message.
Sometimes it works fine. Other times I have to actually open the app and then the messages will come through.
I had a message come up once on the screen after I had unlocked it and it said something like "Skype, Whatsapp and Yahoo inhibited". I could not really read it as it flashed up very quickly.
Can anyone help with this or has anyone else experinced these issues?
I am running stock Android 4.4.4 and using the Go Launcher.
Does this happen on both mobile and wifi?
Do you have apps like greenify installed?

Yes. It happens on both mobile and wifi and I do have greenify installed on my phone.
So check if maybe greenify hibernates all the apps you mentioned...
Both those apps were being hibernated by greenify. I've taken them out and they seem to be working now.
Thanks for your help.
Good to know!
So hit THANKS and mark the problem as solved...
Will do

Music bug since the update of 5.1.1

Everytime when I turn off my screen while listening with headphones on or off, my music disrupts after a period of 6 seconds.
Now I have tried a various things to fix it, and strangely enough disabling the lock screen (any type of security ) fixes this issue)
Might any of you know a better alternative to make my life easier? I don't want to leave my phone insecured for the sake of listening to music.
Thank you.

Reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
Have you (TS) tried the solution provided above? I'm experiencing the bug as well. It's really irritating.
I managed to fix the problem by clearing the system cache. Just boot into odin, clear the cache and restart the phone.
(I didn't reflash the stock rom)
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the reply. When you mean boot into odin, did you mean recovery? I have done that as well, but it seems that it didn't fix the problem for me.
To add another solution to this bug, I downloaded and flashed the stock ROM for my phone. Apparently, it fixed the bug.
Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. I might as well do the same. Thanks for the heads up !

Heya, sorry to bring this topic back again to life. Apparently, the fix was only temporary. The bug reappeared after a few hours. I might try a clean install just to see if this gets fixed.

Do you have greenify installed and have the music app set to greenify? Also are you using the built in close app feature? The one found in battery stats. If so do you have the app set to auto kill? This feature kills all selected apps after a certain time of the screen being turned off.

I haven't installed Greenify yet on my S6. I had it on my S4, but it wasn't causing any problems at all. I checked the close app feature, and Music app wasn't placed there. The Music app crashes, it doesn't just close; without any warning message or whatever.
Update: I did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, and used Odin to install a fresh 5.1.1. I tried the Music app, and it doesn't crash. I hope it wouldn't crash anymore.

Did the fresh install fixed the problem completely? I have it as well and it's super annoying, it will be super annoying to have to download my apps again but i will if it fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, it did not. To be exact, it fixed the problem for about a week, but the problem appeared again. Try using Power Amp music player, it's working well for me. I'm tempted to buy the full version after this trail version expires. Spending 1$ would be way better than getting annoyed all the time by the default music player.
