Ever since disabling stocks app, battery started overheating...

My battery never got that hot on just standby or normal texting and web use. But ever since I decided to disable stocks and stocks widget the battery got real hot like 40c and just over. I used to hover around 28-30c. Anybody else experience this?
I re enabled the stocks widget and stocks app but battery still feels hot. Well the battery was at 12% so right now I have it charging hopefully it goes back to normal temps.

I have those disabled and have no battery or temp issues. I would use an app like system panel or watchdog and see if you have a rogue app that's running.

No not forme

No issues here since disabling the junk apps.

I had the same issue and was only getting 37 minutes screen time before needing to charge the I reset the phone left all the apps there and now I am getting great battery life !

Thanks for the replies. I just put them back on ("stocks" apps) and battery temps back to normal with no overheating. Dont kniw what caused it or if it was just coincidence, regardless leaving it alone now.
edit: seems like its getting hot again. I don't think its a rogue app as I had the same apps before when it was running normal temps. its up to 35c with just texting for couple minutes. I did that before and it wouldn't get warm to the touch.
Could the battery gone bad on me???

switch it out...

When I go to account & sync and turn on auto sync. I had to re add the stocks account and then pressed sync all and the stocks isn't synching. Maybe that's why its overheating its trying to turn on but cant?
I readded the 3 "stocks" apps i had disabled is there some other way to turn them back on?

lol, stop focusing on the app removal and look at what you installed from the market.

But I haven't installed anything from the market when I started getting the hot temps. All the apps i have now are the same when it wasn't overheating.

try to freeze Sense Apps... It might help...
and dont delete the sense apks, it may crash the launcher sometimes...

Well I gave in and did a factory reset. Pain having to redo everything but I guess only way to make sure. Ill see if tomorrow it doesn't overheat. Thanks.

[Q] End Mediaserver Wakelocks?

I noticed today my battery has been draining pretty quickly. Obviously I can't use a wakelock app to see what exactly is happening but this doesn't seem normal.
Any suggestions?

It's related to music playing and scanning/indexing.
I see Play Music in your list, so it's no surprise to see Mediaserver there also.

It also handles screen touch sounds and key press ticks.
good day.

The problem is that it doesn't become inactive after certain events.
I have had my Nexus 5 on all day (8hours light use) with 3% overall battery usage overall attributed to mediaserver. I then took a screenshot and now mediaserver has an ongoing wakelock. I've closed all apps and force closed the media process (that was cached) and the wake lock is STILL ongoing.
This has been an ongoing bug with android for as long as I remember and I don't understand why its still a problem now.
Other than rebooting every time I open the Gallery, is there a fix for this?

Am I the only one who's got battery issues ?

After I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone it started draing quite a lot of battery, moving from 100% to 85% in less than an hour. Is that normal ?

Is that with the screen on? 15% per hour is normal playing games or watching movies.
Nuthin' but a 'Moto G' thang

Screen was not always on i used it normally didn't play games or anything. Maybe it's because I only xharged it twice does it need calibration or something ?

Unlocking and rooting wont have a direct impact on battery usage.

Have you checked for wakelocks. You could use CPU Spy to make sure your phone is entering deep sleep. 15% battery drain in one hour in standby is not normal.

Having the same issue. Phone's not entering into deep sleep for some reason. It's brand new with nothing installed on it except for cpu spy. so I dunno what's keeping it.

factory reset - always worth a try. Or wake lock detector to see what's keeping it awake. I had issues with battery when I switched from one WiFi network to another and no wake locks showing. Factory reset magically fixed it.

I know your device is brand new but I'm sure some junk sometimes gets in cache or something like that. Think I'd be inclined to always factory reset a brand new phone now.

I think to be fair, the phone was updating it's OS. It's not everyday normal usage.

I have an issue with my battery too... Media Server is always on for some reason and is keeping the phone awake all the time :/

[Q] Way to find out why phone not deep sleeping?

I am running Skyfall with stock kernel. I was getting decent battery life, but today noticed that phone was awake for 2 of the 4 hours that it was off the charger. I have gsam and wake detector and wake detector shows nothing crazy that wakes it. I did disable location reporting, so maybe that might be pissing off some apps? I have not installed any new apps, only change was location reporting.
Thanks in advance.

Here is what I use,

Works great for helping to find those pesky apps.

Was it doing it before you installed gsam? I installed it and my battery went downhill. After I removed it battery got dramatically better.

For clarification, you're saying that gsam was killing your battery? I'm trying to figure out if it's killing mine lol. But I have no other way of seeing my screen on time :/

It seemed like it. I installed it while I still had BBS running. While I was running GSAM my awake time was about 2.5 hours out of just under 4 hrs total and the phone was just in my pocket most of the time. After I removed it and rebooted the awake time stayed proportional to the time I was actually using it. Other than turning on WiFi optimization I can't think of anything else I did. So it may have been either one but I didn't have WiFi optimization on before I installed GSAM and my battery life was okay.

I have tried with and without gsam. I flashed the lastest firmware and radios and also the snapdragon app that monitors your use and is supposed to save on battery and today I got 3 hours of SOT, off charger for 16 hours and still have 55% left. And wake time back down to normal use. Im about to flash the latest Skyfall so we will see how things go on that build.

So started getting bad wake locks again. I looked and saw media server using a good portion. I have 0 media on my phone as I just stream. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Just reboot it. This happened to me a couple of times. After reboot it went to sleep like it should.

Turn off aggressive dose. Helps a lot

you mean advanced optimization?

i had some instances with stock kernel where overnight it was awake all the time but battery info or gsam didnt show a thing.
Then there's some times Screen is on for a long period, but it doesnt show the phone cpu awake while so.
Strange stuff Couldnt wrap my head yet around it

Sorry, but I think you are being a bit paranoid here...1% per hour is fine ! This phone does not run on air, it needs battery to stay connected to the GSM network. If you want better results, uninstall all your social media apps and try without them for a night...then go from there.

I'm being paranoid because in my note 8 i lost only 2% Totally..so doesn't that phone stay connected to the GSM network? only this phone connects to the gsm network? and does note 8 run on air? or only this phone? #no_offense #peace

Yes. Actually when advanced optimization is active, the OS takes up battery to close background apps to bare minimum(might not receive notifications). The phone is awake due to OS trying to close apps which are unnecessary. Hope this helps!

I always turn off my device during night, it has the alarm that automatically woke it up so it's very useful to save battery life

That is strange, I would have thought the purpose of that option WAS to save battery?

Regardless of whether you get important calls/messages at night, I don't think the answer to any battery drain issue should ever be "turn your phone off."

I might be stupid but isn't the whole point of the "aggressive doze" option to reduce battery consuption? How can it bear the possibly opposite effect??
Yeah, also what this guy is saying!

Recently I installed greenify along with xposed. I set it up and put some apps for hibernation. As greenify was discovering more apps running in the background, I added them to the hibernation list. At first it did improve the standby drain noticeably. With time(the list of backgroud apps increased), I saw that the phone was getting heated up and was losing much of the battery in a short duration of time. After that I removed greenify and my battery was back to normal(nothing cleared including cache etc). So the idea here is greenify also takes up resources to close background apps. Greenify is a better version of Android's Aggressive dose. I also want to mention that my battery life is certainly better than before(when Aggressive dose was enabled). Does this answer your question?

Makes sense.
I'll see whether the built in aggressive doze can indeed be more problem than solution here then.
So far i havent seen other reports.
