[Q] Partial Wakelock - 'audiomix' & 'n'

Hey everyone,
Since I've been using my Nexus 5 a few days ago, I've noticed that there's quite a number of wakelocks on my device.
Through the use of BetterBatteryStats, here's what I found:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can someone tell me what is 'audiomix' and 'n' processes that's keeping my device on partial wakelock. I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Think i've figured out how to stop AudioMix...turn off Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds

same here... just only audiomix, not "n"

I have a nexus 4 with the same issue, must be a general 4.4 problem because I never saw it in any other version.

AudioMix is for audio output partial wakelock.
you can check bugreport to get more info.

maybe that is responsible for listening "OK Google"?

I have the same. AudioMix is the largest partial wakelock by a lot. I've searched around for information but everything seems to be from the past week or so, without any answers. Looks like it's something to do with KitKat specifically

I'm having the same issue. AudioMix accounts for %95 of my wakelocks. I have disabled Google Now, Location, and Google Music. Can't figure out what's causing it.

Do all of you guys have touch sounds enabled? The sounds for locking and unlocking the phone? These wakelocks dont look severe at all. Unless its keeping your device awake for hours and hours, I wouldn't even worry about it.

I have all of those settings disabled. As of the time of writing this wakelock has kept the phone awake for 32min of 2hr uptime. It's not severe but it is but far the worst offending wakelock.

Oh well yea, that sounds like its a bit of an issue keeping your phone awake for 25% of its uptime off charger.

My phone is kept awake more than 95% off charger cos of AudioMix (MediaServer ?).
I had done a factory reset in TWRP and also tried turning off Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds, but it does not seem to help at all.
Nexus 5 on stock ROM and Franco r14.

I was worried about the Audiomix wakelock until I realized(for me at least) that Better Battery Stats is ringing up wakelock time for it even when the screen is on. Can literally constantly refesh the stats and watch the timer go up. If I turn the screen off the timer stops. Not really getting any extra battery drain from it as when the screen is off the phone goes into deep sleep.

Ok I greenify 2 background apps and found that the Audiomix time stopped increasing. 1 or both of them should be the culprit.

More battery problems

As soon as I enable Google Now on my phone (Android 4.4.2 root, stock ROM and kernel) my battery starts to drain incredibly fast (it lasts about two hours idle). This problem doesn't happen if I disable Google Now and Location Services. I also tried with Greenify with no results. Will I ever be able to use Google Now?

I have a bone stock N5, and have Google Now enabled; my battery life is awesome. I poll 3 email accounts every 15 minutes, and have an exchange email account on push. I end the day at 30 - 50% most days. There has to be another issue at play on your phone.

download wakelock detector or use better battery stats to show us a log of what is happening on the phone so that we and YOU can better assess what is going on with your phone. :good:

After some days of testing I used Wakelock Terminator to kill some wakelocks, but I noticed that these wakelocks can't be killed and they are making some problems.

Which google play service version are you using?
It appears that Google Cloud Messaging is messing up, trying to do something and getting an error... What are the apps installed and what did you tweaked in the phone?

Personally, with such a severe battery issue, I'd just wipe clean and reinstall. Problem should be gone.
You'll spend more time trying to troubleshoot it than just wiping.

Install BetterBatteryStatts to monitor app by app activity and CPU Spy for deep sleep issues.

thank you for your first advice.
but i don't see an app which could cause my issue.
do you see anything?

First i would disable Network Location for positioning and set it to gps only. Second in wifi settings disable scanning always and check avoid bad connections and check optimize wifi. Guess this will help a bit.

Facebook App..well known battery killer.

Also download Gsam, that will tell you what apps are draining your battery

According to gsam it's the kernel?
I've used the facebook app so i assume it's usage is OK
tapatalked from hammerhead

Download this -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
And make Facebook and Google play services look like this -
It massively reduces the wakelocks and effects nothing I've found so far

Thanks a lot but i don't get why it's facebook's fault when gsam says it's the kernel.
In addition: i force-closed facebook and the facebook calendar sync and my CPU is still on fire

Weird. I wonder if it's something syncing or the background Wi-Fi scanning or location reporting?

Android os is built up from services, like sync and location, from all apps.
So yes....things like Facebook especially, will make android os rise.
Go a day with location and sync off....and disable Facebook and similar social apps syncs....just to test. You'll see.
The more you run...the higher android os will be. Its just life. Have to decide what's most important. Those apps and services, or battery life.

I'd definitely say try what I said before with the disable service app. Cus it looks very gms core and location wakelocks

Maybe you're right, i don't know.
But there is one thing i don't understand:
My CPU freq was still on max this morning (Nexus has been on charger overnight of course).
After rebooting it everything was normal again.
Then i manually startet facebook and the facebook calendar sync.
After it has finished the cpu freq was at 300Mhz again.
So i don't get why those app should force the CPU to stay at that high freq.
Ever after closing G+, FB etc. after using it the CPU freq stays low.
Every few days i have this strange behaviour and i don't have a clue why.
I'll give the disable service app a try but i'm not optimistic.
Isn't there an app which shows me which app, service, etc is currently using my cpu?
quick system info shows 0-1% to every app

Do you usually do soft reboots by any chance?
Sent from my Nexus 5

No. The only time i reboot my device is when flashing a new nightly. About 1-2 times a week

I deactivated the services and everything went well about 1 day.
But now it's happening again
Please help

WiFi drop on 5.1?

It's a couple of times i unlock my phone and i notice the wifi has disconnected, then it riconnects itself. It also happened at first flash of 5.1, right after the setup wizard.
Any known WiFi drops bugs on 5.1?
I am using Cataclysm + EX.
I am not able to provide any adb logcat because it doesn't seem to happen all the times, sorry.

It's becoming a week known issue.
Seems to be a fault in the Wi-Fi settings where the phone is not keeping the Wi-Fi on when the phone sleeps (even though it's set to do that).
I would go back to an older version (5.0.1) until these retards rectify.

I'm having the same problem.
Anyone got a solution yet?

Bump.
The real issue (at least for me) is that when the phone sleeps and the wifi drops, it enables data network, and I have not unlimited data plan...
How is possible nobody is talking about that wifi behavior ?!

Happened once or twice but that's it.

Someone on G+ that had our same issue said he turned off automatic wifi freq (wifi > advanced) and the drop never happened again.. yet.
That's not a proper fix but better than nothing.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.

Do you care to explain why that would help? And what exactly do you want us to do? I'm not trying to sound like a d**k, just not sure what you're saying

I usually use the phone in vibrate mode, but today I brought the device to the audio mode and Wi-Fi started to disable when i turn off screen.

Nope, actually I'm a newbie in terms of rooting.
After I root my device I'm currently observing it. Came across to this thread and share my situation as well, even my battery I'm keeping an eye for it. Had one problem where as before I go to sleep, the only app working while my phone is lock is my alarm clock, I set on smart plan and while sleeping my wifi is still on. Form 1:30am to 7:30am my battery starts in 66% and when I woke up its in 53%..
Having 800mb-900mb running in Android os usage Is alarming? Pls enlighten me. I think I messed up my phone because I rooted it..

Hi, as i am also a newbie, i am not sure i am able to help much. but I think it could be a rogue app that is causing the large battery drain on your phone.
after playing around for awhile, i discovered the issue for my phone lagging, which is caused by the notification app (Floatify). i have stopped the app and my phone is back to being speedy and fast. perhaps you can try to disable or stop some apps to see if it helps.

Where can I see this? Is this the one that you ask? Kindly see the attached link. http://imgur.com/1xzDWUS
