[Q]Google Dialer Keeps Phone Awake - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have noticed one of my biggest battery draining apps is the google dialer application.
For some reason it seems to keep the phone awake for hours on end, even when I do not spend very much time on the phone.
Stock, 4.4.3. rooted, thats it.
Any suggestions or ideas? I've tried clearing the dialer's cache and data, but it still keeps the device awake for no reason it seems.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Here are some screen shots.

mmh I've never seen that problem.
You could first try clearing data and cache of the app. If that doesn't work, maybe flash the factory images? Just to be sure it's not something on your side.
Hope this helps.

Boot the phone into recovery and then wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then reboot the phone.

I think 4.4.4 addresses this issue, you should make a clean installation of the factory image (again) and see how it goes.

I flashed the 4.4.4 system and radio images.
Will report back. So far so good..... But I will confirm.

OK SO i think i MAY have figured out this bug.
I use the search function in the dialer app all the time for work. I call a lot of businesses in the area and i always use the dialer to look up their numbers. This is what I think causes the wakelock, as it triggers a search and looks up local businesses matching the number.
I've turned off this feature in the app, as well as the caller ID function and so far i am not having any issues. Will report back.

Just an update. I can trigger this bug in any ROM, including cyanogen mod and also paranoid android.
Here is the solution until Google offers a fix:
By leaving the above options unchecked, the wake lock will not trigger.

WTF is "0" in my battery history

I've had this on other android devices before but never this bad. Under network usage, the top item is consistently "0". Clicking on it results in FC. I just went to CM7. I dont think the issue came back until I reinstalled all of my apps. I used a network monitor when I was stock rooted and never saw anything unusual. Anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling it is killing my battery.

Bump. I have the same issue. If I click on the item labeled 0, it force closes.

Can you give me a list of all of your apps? Maybe we have a culprit in common.
Bump.......

I have the same. I believe it is all non system apps lumped together as I don't have any of them listed like I did on my n1. I think the system isn't representative of individual app use for data or battery. The battery history normally lists apps associated with a specific uid if you press each. My theory is something in the framework isn't registering apps independently but grouping them together creating false readouts.
[EDIT] I do see individual apps on network use so I want to strike my theory. Now I'm just back to puzzled.

Sorry, been too busy to check back in on XDA for a few days. I could post a list of apps, but my original observation was during the couple of days after I did all the factory wiping / calibrating to fix my battery life. I didn't have any non-stock apps installed at the time.
The 0 is still there, and still force closes. I was hoping some more people might have insight on this, but it doesn't seem to have caught on.

Problem with Facebook/Google/internet

Hello, I am using a galaxy note 2 but I don't think the problem is limited to this phone. I've been facing problems of being not able to use Facebook login through other apps, which always return me to this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Another problem I face is issues with browsers. It gave me an error when fling Google search, typing in omnibox, searching in Google now. This exist in all browsers, do I believe it's something regarding my internet /settings. However, when I change the user agent on browsers to 'desktop', everything works properly. I'm also facing a problem of not being able to load results using Google now voice action, which I think is somewhat related to this.
I do not know if those 2 errors or related in anyway. I've tried clearing cache or data and reinstalling Facebook or internet or Google now. But no solutions yet.
I would really appreciate any help from the kind community!

When did this start happening? Have you tried a factory reset?
Yet to try factory reset cause I have a lot of things on my phone, and I am not sure how to backup every thing on it.
The problem happened one month ago but I don't remember any exact action I too prior to that. Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Anybody can help me with this problems? It's making my Facebook unusable other than news feed. I can't do voice search either. I'm going to try a reset soon. However I'm not sure if doing a nandroid backup would work coz if I do a factory reset on the phone and restore a nandroid backup would the problems get restored too?

[Q] Missing Google Now Cards?

Since starting to use my Nexus 5, I've noticed Google Now seems a LOT less useful than before.
Compare the beginning of the list of cards currently on my Nexus 7 2012:

With the cards on my Nexus 5
http://i.imgur.com/ksJLlyL.png
http://i.imgur.com/avQTrg0.png
Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a massive step backwards? Anyone else seeing this?
It's not just the options, I'm seeing obvious differences between the two devices in terms of cards appearing.
Running both devices in Australia, both with language set to English(UK), both with Google Now's language set to English(AU).
My Everything Else has 16 options. Try clearing data from Google Now and starting over.

I have never seen anything remotely like that in my Google Now!
I think Google just made all of them baked into the KitKat version. everything is based contextually on your usage. So everything is considered on but won't show unless you made a search for it. Example would be if you search Big Bang Theory, it would bring up TV episodes. They're just trying to trim down the fat in the settings.

My Nexus 4 was like that but my Nexus 5 seems to only want to tell me the weather so i have turned it off.
I'm noticing it too. None of my packages are tracking through Google now on my N5, but were on my N4.

It's what I'm hoping is true, but I still suspect (fear?) that I'm missing out on things I otherwise wouldn't have.

ok, if the google apps were working fine before and just stopped working, give it time. two weeks ago many google services stopped working for nearly a full day for many(including myself), then started back up. it was a google server issue.
Hmm...
Still not working... anyone else experiencing similar problems?
Try checking your time and date...my son often has a similar problem because his time/date always resets to 1/1/2011 and he cant use gapps until the date is fixed.

"Recent screen" stops showing my recent apps

I dont know when it occurs, but once it does, I have to reboot my phone in order for my recent apps to reappear on my recent screen. Anyone know what may be causing this?

I third this... Rebooting "solves" it.
Also since the latest update (13A), when I'm out and about my time goes 4 hours ahead. Sometimes I have to go into the settings and turn network time on and off to fix it.
I spoke with Verizon tech support and they are suggesting a factory reset to hopefully resolve whatever glitch is causing this to happen.

Update: I'm getting a replacement under warranty. It's a hardware issue.

Hi all- do you use the "OK Google" voice feature in the Google app? If so, there is currently a known bug out there where if you use the voice command multiple times within a short period, all of your apps will be hidden from the recent apps screen.
Best you can do is a) don't use the Google App, b) when the issue occurs, reboot your phone, c) Browse to the app in your application manager and clear all data, and then set up your voice model again. Very annoying. I have the beta of the Google app and it does seem to be resolved. This is not a hardware or LG issue; it even affects the S7.
The issue is known in the Google community, and a proposed fix is supposed to roll out in the next few weeks: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/A7JWsN8I2kM/oM8RlnMaBQAJ.
How on earth is this a hardware issue?

I'm think my phone has a separate hardware issue not related to the recent apps screen issue.

Ok. I would laugh the Verizon rep you talked to out of the store if they thought that was a hardware issue.
Good think you got a new phone out of it.
Yeah, i was still within the one year warranty, so it worked out.
