So it seems that the Dialer on my Nexus S is killing my battery. I noticed over a last few days that it will be at 40% or more of battery usage. It seems it keeps the phone awake. Anyone had this happen?
no one out there has noticed an unusual Dialer activity causing the phone to be awake?
Stock or custom rom?

i just looked at my phone and the Dialer is at 40%, then Display at 16%. I'm on 2.3.2 stock.
2% here for me, right at the bottom of the list.
Stock 2.3.2
It's very intermitent. It's fine today. I bet it'll be back up after another restart.
Dialer was at 17% here about two hours ago, restarted and it's calmed down. This has happened about three days in a row. Hard to replicate though
CPU Total: 4m 45s
CPU Foreground: 18s
Keep Awake: 1h 6m 12s
Trying to figure out what the trigger for this is. Do you have a bluetooth that you make phone calls with by chance?
Have you by chance tried clearing the data of the dialer in applications settings > dialer?

I haven't but last night I let my battery drain dead. So far today Dialer is at 2%. There is some sort of trigger that makes it stick, just gotta figure out what that trigger is.
Nope. I do not use a BT headset. Mine did it today again. Went into "all apps" and force stopped dialer storage. Phone lost signal for about 30 seconds, then came back. No change in activity since then, as in it stopped running.
Has anyone in this thread having the problem by chance turned on the Internet Calling SIP accounts. I just realized that the Dialer seems to be keeping the Wifi active. I did set up my SIP Gizmo5 account and turned on allow to "receive incoming calls (reduces battery life)." I'm thinking this may be what's causing it.
I got this Dialer issue as well last night. This has been couple of times. But, I did not know what might the root cause until recently. Well, still don't know, but I might know "when" it can happen. At least I noticed this several times.
Dialer is awake when I set my phone to use WiFi ... AND ... WiFi sleep policy = NEVER.
So, when my phone is turned off, the WiFi is still active.
Then the Dialer is also awake for some reason.
If I use 3G, this has never happened.
I am using stock ROM 2.3.2, not-rooted.
Is there any app that can "monitor" and find out why the Dialer is awake?
Or, is there any app that can do background logging? Logging Android activity while device is OFF.
Have you set up internet phone? SIP phone under call settings?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
No, I don't set that.
I just re-checked:
Internet Call Settings:
Accounts -> Receive Incoming Calls [ ] (unchecked)
Nothing under SIP Accounts
Use Internet Calling
(*) Only for Internet Calls
Should I change "Ask for each call" ?

I don't think that will matter. I turned off my SIP calling, don't know if it will solve my issue. Was hoping yours was the same.

My buddy with a Nexus S just reported the same issue. Dialer taking 12%, no SIP installed. Wifi Sleep Policy to be off when the screen is off. Hasn't made a phone call in two days according to him. I'm running out of ideas. Mine hasn't kicked in the past two or three days, I'll keep an eye out still.
In case anyone hasn't seen my post on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10801621&postcount=1
Since I don't have a SIM in (and the phone is in airplane mode all day, every day), I'm thinking it has something to do with SIP calling as I have a Gizmo account set up, set to receive incoming calls. Also, the turn over silence thing didn't help me at all.

I still have never seen the "turn over for silence" option. I think it's specific to CM7 or other custom roms, it's not on the stock rom unless I'm missing something.
Hi i'm on WIFI, dont have have data package. The integrated messenger just signs out from time to time....

Wifi connection drops when the screen locks, and then re-connects when you unlock.
Maybe this could be the issue? Only 3G data connection is able to run under the lockscreen.

Thanks that explains it, i hope they change this.....i understand they are doing this to save battery but my iphone doesnt do that and still has an amazing battery life.
Perhaps windows phone should ONLY drop the wifi connection IF the person has chosen the "battery saver option"....otherwise let it be....
If you put it on the charger WIFI won't drop.
Otherwise I have the same problem as you.

If it were that simple, I have a feeling MS would have implemented it. Apple only added it last year, and for Android, you need to root your phone to enable persistent wifi, so guess it's more complex; probably a real battery killer?
Hopefully addressed in the future; it is a pretty huge issue!

iOS drops wifi at sleep+300 seconds, then "wakes" in background every 300 seconds to prompt/receive push updates.

It's push, your phone establishes a "permanent" connection to a centralized server. Server receives messages, notifications, alerts, and forwards them to your phone via "permanent" link. At sleep, push turns into fetch.

That's interesting, thanks.
Unsure why WP7 doesn't do this. When I first got the phone and set my email to poll every 15 minutes, I expected the wifi to wake up under the lock screen every 15mins and check for new messages. Or at least do a new poll as soon as I unlock and the wifi wakes up?
Instead when you unlock the phone, it checks email 15 mins later - so you end up having to check your email manually. Quite annoying.

ok, I see. So how does fetch work and what if you walk into an area where you completely lose signal and are using your cellular data connection for msn, then 5 seconds or so later you walk back into a normal fine area with signal. BUT as you lost signal someone sent you a message and/or you sent a message. You obviously won't get it with no signal, will it resend it or something?
Fetch is when your phone retrieves all it can on a regular basis i.e: every 15 minutes. If you walk into a dead spot, your phone'll resume when signal is regained.
Push = permanent link
Fetch = scheduled "grab"

Go into settings and then Data and tap more in the upper right hand corner and restrict the background data on apps that you don't use.. I pretty much have everything restricted because when I open it the data will work fine in the foreground just not in the background after it's closed. Saves me a lot of data!

No don't restrict all of it or you won't get the notifications just do as many as you can that you don't use so it stops using data when you aren't using them.

Yes they do... What model phone do you have? Verizon? Because when I updated to MM 6.0 it was draining the battery in less than 2 hours of screen on time and killing my data and I wasn't about to accept that so I downgraded back to Lollipop! I get a good 8 to 12 hours of screen on time now. I do think the only way to fix the battery problem when updating is to factory reset the device first so there's absolutely nothing on it and then update to MM 6.0..

They're listed separately so you can see which one is using the most data, that way you'll know which one it is.. The other thing is, you need an OS in order for anything to run obviously which is why I said they all run on the OS. But like I said they're separated for a reason.

Did you do anything at all before this started to do that? If not, maybe you should try factory resetting the phone because I know data isn't cheap anymore!
By the way, there's also network monitoring tools on the play store that you can try out so you can pin it down to which process is using it all up.
I did nothing new / different. Factory resetting is annoying. What's the best app to pinpoint which process it is?

Hello guys, and girls, I tried to search for this issue I'm facing, but no luck at all and it's getting quite annoying:
At night when I go sleep I leave my phone turned on while disabling wifi and 4g connection to avoid WhatsApp notifications at night.
After installing latest B182 version in my MHA-L29 Mate9 I'm facing weird battery drains as you can see in screenshots. At first I didn't notice, but looks like WhatsApp is consuming like hell when no connection is available.
Right now I have the dual application option turned on because of 2 sim cards and had until this morning the "ignore battery opt." granted to avoid (even if it seems ok after B182) the clone app issue not making receive notifications.
Attached pictures show a massive battery drain after I went sleep and then a normal battery consumption while I turned it on.
From 21:47 till 22:47 WhatsApp is using 22mAh (normal use while connected to wifi), instead from 2:17 till 3:17 (display off and no connection) it shows a 352mAh usage!!
Any ideas? It's getting really annoying because I want leave it turned on in case of emergency but afraid I won't be able to get morning alarm ring.
Do you have a wifi search turned on even if the wifi is turned off? Same as 4G data .

Hello, I have wifi turned off and default settings, looking at screenshots it says that Wifi is on and that's strange indeed. But I see no wifi search and it doesn't make sense if it's turned off. Also it used to work fine until B182 update.
Search in settings for wifi and Bluetooth scanning and turn them off,they are in location settings.

Done, still I don't get why is causing issues when it used to be working fine. I'll let you know if it works, only thing left is understanding why whatsapp is draining battery like that.
Thank you
2 whatsapp is known to drain battery and if you disable data or wifi, whatsapp still scan to get data and that drain more battery,so better to keep data on and maybe force whatsapp to close when screen is off?just try not sure.
You could enable 'do not disturb mode (manually or automatically) so you can leave data and Wi-Fi on and not be disturbed by notifications. It's in the settings menu.

Turn wifi scanning off, leave your data on overnight and put the phone into do not disturn mode. You can close whats app manually before your go to bed. Also wifi scanning will turn on if you click ok for the propt which says google will needto use your location or what. (ofc gps is turned on) some app require it like tinder on 4g...... LOL

Yeah I know about that, but that's not an option. As I said it always used to work fine. So to me it's a strange behaviour as it is right now and it doesn't make sense at all that an app using a connection keeps draining like that when no connection is available and uses quite no battery at all when screen on and connection available.
What I mean is that I want undersand why it's not working anymore rather than looking for workarounds.

I just received a newer version of WhatsApp, it might fix some bugs. I haven't noticed a problem with WhatsApp, because I always have a dataconnection, but I trust you that there is a bug. I don't know if that bug is in the Huawei firmware or in WhatsApp. You can try to get support from WhatsApp.

Tried everything but no results, it looks like it's happening only with whatsapp, but just after installing B182, I'll install viber to check how it works with no connections to be sure to make whatsapp the culprit as not compatible with last firmware release. Kinda frustrating to be honest, I'm thinking about taking a flight and not be able to watch a movie because of battery drain
As a workaround for your flight, you may try to use the ultra battery saving mode, and add your video player as an available app in this mode. It should kill all other apps. I never tried it myself, but it may work until there is a better solution.

Ciao, I'm using same phone Mate 9 (italian) / dual sim / B182 / double app for whatsapp and getting exactly same issue.
Never noticed until went abroad and kept phone for a while without any connection, when a connecton /wi-fi or mobile is always available the battery drain is normal, but when it has no connection available, in flight mode as well, it's getting very hot in back/upper side and draining battery superfast.
I tried to disable several things such as automatic updates for Android system or wi-fi search but no results, and I have found too that the cause is whatsapp, clearly a bug.
Only workaround working so far is going in the battery menu and stop manually whatsapp by the high battery consumption list. After this manual disable, battery consumption goes fine. In facts, although I have disabled in the whatsapp app the possibility to keep the app running in background and selected to close at screen lock, it's staying there and draining battery like hell. I also tried to cancel the whole whatsapp data and re-login but nothing changed, I still haven't tried to re-install but I guess it's pointless as well.
However this is just a workaround, I'll try to write to whatsapp support and get their comment. I tried alreasy with Huawei technical support before having so much details and their help was very general, just recommended to do battery test (battery is perfect, in normal conditions I can get 2 days duration with heavy usage) and to reset the phone (I can't see how this would help).
Keep you posted as soon as I have some news.
