ICS - Deep Sleep issue... Related to Charging?

I've seen similar comments on this, but not necessarily the same issue I'm seeing...
As with many issue's with the ICS install, this is one of those where it "suddenly" began with no explanation as to why when previously everything was working fine. I have two Skyrockets and one started to experience this while the other did not... then suddenly, just as though an internal timer had been set, it also began to experience the same issue. I will add that the second phone is my test phone and has nothing installed other than what came with the original ROM.
SUMMARY:
Initially my battery life was awesome, but then suddenly saw a huge drop off; I confirmed it to be a problem with the phone not entering a deep sleep state; obviously I began looking to see what app may be causing this, disabling services, putting phone in airplane mode, etc.... nothing resolved it and as far as I could determine there was nothing unusual about any app running... a reboot ALWAYS resolved the problem.
ANALYSIS:
I determined that making a connection to any charging source "triggered" the issue... Using CPU Spy I could confirm that the phone would enter Deep Sleep mode; I did this multiple times (resetting timers) without fail. I then plugged in the phone to the charging source (I've tested both the power block and USB connection), waited until the phone detected the source then unplugged the cable. I then repeated the same steps to confirm Deep Sleep using CPU Spy and this time, the phone would never enter Deep Sleep, but instead would only drop down to 384MHz.... once again a reboot will resolve the issue until the next time a power source is plugged in.
One note to mention, on one of my phones, I have to charge it to 100% before it exhibits the issue while the other will always see the issue regardless of battery level.
I have also confirmed this to occur with a default install of ICS; no apps installed, etc. Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation and if so, any ideas as to what may causing the problem?

The phone doesn't sleep when plugged in

If you read my post, I didn't say I was expecting it to sleep when plugged in, I said, plugging in a power source triggered the problem. I then remove the cable and re-confirm whether the phone is not able to enter a Deep Sleep state...

Is wifi involved?

I think i see the same issue here. after a reboot battery life is better. next day battery life short. Phone will not go in to deep sleep. Is there an easy way to trouble shoot deep sleep issues?

WiFi and GPS are off for me.

Wifi doesn't appear to make a difference as one phone is in airplane mode while the other is my daily phone. I do have it shutting off wifi when sleeping.
Again, to reiterate, the issue is seen ONLY AFTER connecting the phone to any power source... even if for only a few seconds. Until this connection is made, the phone will ALWAYS enter Deep Sleep.
Very easy to test:
1. Using an app to monitor CPU states (I used CPU Spy), I reset timers and put phone into sleep mode (hitting power button).... wait a few seconds to allow the timers to populate.
2. Bring phone out of sleep mode (press power button) and confirm CPU states... In this case, Deep Sleep is the majority of the time, with some usage seen on 384MHz
3. Connect power source, let phone detect it, then UNPLUG cable. At this point, phone is not charging.
4 Using app, confirm CPU states; in my case it shows various speeds used (majority 384) but Deep Sleep is no longer seen and listed as an unused state
5. Just to confirm, reset timers again, put phone to sleep, let sit a few seconds to allow timers to populate.
6. Confirm CPU states again, once again, Deep Sleep state is NOT used and listed under unused CPU states.
7. Reboot phone and repeat steps 1 & 2 and you will again see the phone is able to enter Deep Sleep state.

Tested with various usb cables?

Various cables and source; e.g. power block and/or USB connected to PC. It would appear, as far as I can tell, that any power source "triggers" something to prevent it from entering a Deep Sleep state.

Got me thinking on this and it reminded me of the troubleshooting we were doing with the battery getting stuck at 100%...
Although I've tested this with multiple chargers, cables, etc.... I just tested using a very short USB cable I have, approx. 8" or so. Good news, it appears to "reset" whatever is causing the problem and I now get my Deep Sleep state back. I also re-tested this same setup with the OEM USB cable (which I already done), but still still the problem. So, something about the short cable is different; guessing signal impedance or something similar.

At the house i have a 5 inch cable. I will test with that later tonight. Glad you made a post about this. It was driving me crazy. Maybe its a work around. It sure would be nice to figure out what is causing this issue so that all cables work.

Well this sucks. Most likely an unfinished kernel, which we can't fix without the source.

Glad things are working for you, are you rooted? This would be the only scenario I've not tested.
To clarify, everything was working fine for me for awhile on two phones, then suddenly this issue surfaced. I've reinstalled, wiped cache, etc with no resolution... Although the short cable work around resolves the issue, I travel 100% of the time for work and don't want to have to worry about battery life, so I've gone back to 2.3.6 (Nexus4) and no longer experience the problem.

I'm rooted. And just installed rr's kernel with tweaks. I'm going to see how that affects battery. If battery doesn't improve, I'm going back to GB until it's improved. I can't stand bad battery.

I'm running a rooted I flashed with the OneClick .exe and rooted it. My phone is entering deep sleep even after being plugged in. I am using the charger that came with my Nexus One with the OEM Dock. I will test it again at work where I use the same charger without the dock and see if it changes.

The short cable does seem to do something. I have two longer cables and after using one of those the phone will not go to deep sleep until a reboot. below is what i am using.
[ROM] MHX-SUPERLITE-3.1 Stable *Latest UCLA3 Base* ~Get Longer Battery Life~
Kernel]Skyrocket[2.6.35.14](010)OC~1.73GHz/GPU OC/OTG/UV/SLQB/BLN[Mar-09]

Just check at work. Phone will still go into Depp sleep after charging with the charger that came with my HTC Nexus One. I have not tried cgarging it with the cable and AC / USB converter that came with it.

Update on this issue....
I did a Darkside wipe to see if I could clean things up and while all issue's I was experiencing, such as power off/reboot hang, etc have been resolved, I still see this issue when I do not use a Samsung charger (power block) of any kind.
I can now easily reproduce this issue 100% using an Apple power block with the OEM cable. The good news is, I no longer need to use my short USB cable connected to my PC (Mac) to correct the problem; if I simply use the OEM power block it will also reset the problem... very strange behavior.

They had a problem similar to this over in the at&t Note forum. The phone would not enter deep sleep after charging. They were able to enable deep sleep by turning on the screen before unplugging the phone from the charger. It wasn't a real fix but it allowed deep sleep to happen every time. Maybe you are having a similar issue with your kernel. Hope this helps.

[Q] Moto G idle battery drain

Hi,
I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.
My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.
This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.
The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.
Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.
The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.
Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?

What kind of battery do you have?

What kind of battery I do not know - I did not change anything on this phone and as far as I know the battery can not be removed. I bought the phone in early January 2014, it was one of the cost to be delivered and still had the previous android version (4.3?) back then.

Go to developer Options in settings and if you do not have this option then go to About Phone and tap 5 times on Build Date or number (should be last one) then go to "PROCESS STATS" which is under "ENABLE BLUETOOTH HCI SNOOP LOG" and when you are at process stats click on the three dots on top right and change the duration for 1 day and then you might be able to find the application that is running in the background constantly, mine is Facebook lol and Facebook Messenger....

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.

Just search wakelock detector on Play store and it should be the first application there. The qcamera2factory is a wakelock inside of the "Media Server" wakelock. Check how long your device has been on for and how much screen on time you have and compare to how long you have had deep sleep, if you have like 10 hours of on time and 1 hour of screen on time you should have about 9 hours of Deep sleep, if it is anything weird like 1 hour or 2 hours then you have something preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector is this it ?

Hmm... No app like that (Skype etc.) is running on my phone. Could it be the camera app itself? Never had any issues with that before though.
My phone is not rooted. I just want to use it in place and not think about it too much. Researching which is the best path to root for Moto G was to mich for me back when I bought it and I have been happy with it or if the box - so far...

here was my stats after one night. kernel wakelock
CPU wake lock

in kitkat, wakelock policy was changed and you cant clearly see any system wakelock without root (i have tried many apps like wakelock detector and there is nothing to see in compare with Jelly Bean 4.3)
i had this annoying battery idle drain - it happened randomly, sometimes battery ran 7 days with light usage of phone but sometimes 30-40% was gone in 24 hours = 1-2%/h
i didnt have any apps installed like Skype, Facebook, or any other "keep awake" app - i also set up my gps, wifi settings, nothing helped
i also switched to ART runtime..again, didnt help
i decided to switch back to factory Jelly Bean 4.3 - you CAN flash stock ROM without unlocking bootloader (im locked without root) and now im running 4.3 with battery drain 0,1-0,4%/h in idle...battery life is now amazing - final battery drain is always ~0,6%/h (light usage)
im charging my phone from 30% to 80% and now it enough for 3 days ! for my 6h night it is only 1-3%
in background i have 3 apps running for battery monitoring (battery hd, batterydrain [analyser], gsam battery monitor) and few schedule apps...i disabled unnecessary apps like motocare and few other google/motorola apps
yes, im missing better alarm (kitkat), better RAM (now i have 60-100MB less...but if 380MB free or 460MB free...it doesnt matter for me) and some other little things that everything i can handle for MUCH MORE BETTER battery :good:

Mine drains 10% when it's in plane mode per hour...
But others days can last longer for at least 8-9 hours of screen time.

Is your phone running hot? I've had a problem with some custom kernels that caused my phone to run hot and drain fast without any visible signs.

this is after some time. im concerned by the second one on the list because it has Wheelock's at the end of name and it has x1441

I just rooted the thing and installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor. Now I'm down to 0,3-0,4%/h. That is fine for me.
It is a bit sad that it had to come to this but that is how the world works these days, I guess. Isn't it amazing how mch technology we can fit in these small packages?

0,3-0,4%/h is amazing !
im on 0,34%/h as final result now (BatteryDrain [Analyser])
yesterday i ended 5 days cycle on 53% battery i charged to 82% then with very light usage i need to charge after 5 full days (120 hours) on 29% (= no idle battery drain)
this idle battery drain is not hardware related, its issued by (stupid) KitKat - i really dont believe that it will be fixed in any next release (4.4.x or 5)
im enjoying JellyBean 4.3 much more than KitKat - all you need is flash stock system image WITHOUT unlocking bootloader/root/losing your warranty

[Q] Abnormal battery drain while deep sleep

Hi guys as per title, my OPO drain battery like crazy during deep sleep. Like I unplugged at 1am (100%) then today I wakeup 10am now it left (89%) only, drained 11%!!! WiFi, Data all off just normal standby only.
Is there something wrong with my OPO? Because before that it only drained 1-2% with the same deep sleep duration.
No wakelock, awake or whatever, probably the battery faulty already? I just got it 1 month ago only, how could be so fast???

How come your phone sleeps? Did you patch the Google Services 'Always awake' bug yourself?

Same thing is happening to me except it's more severe. I'm not sure if it's because I put it onto airplane mode or not. Lost 25% overnight and phone was completely dead...
BTW I disabled quiet hours and I've done the disabling of the Google framework update thing and wake lock.

I have a "similar" drain problem, but it's different :cyclops:
Stock CM11s is really fine, i lose 0.2% or 0.3% per hour onernight in flight mode (or without simcard)
But all variant of Nightlies, Slim, Mahdi... I can't get descent battery life.
Still near 1% per hour, too much for me !
It's probably not a rom related problem, but perhaps a GApps drain problem.
I usually have BaNks GApps, latest minimal ones.
I must do a test, fresh flashing a custom rom, without GApps to isolate problem, to see drain without Google services.

Is there a tasker option for it, i dont want to turn off and on tap to wake ^^

here is my drain disabled all google play services on the screen shot an hour has been drained look at the shots awake and screen on time

Just an update, after following two threads about disabling the google services it seems to finally work. So it has nothing to do with double tap. Dropped one percent over 7 hours
With airplane mode on. No drain. Will try again tonight to make sure it's not just luck.

Huh? That's like saying the screen is a hardware feature so it can't drain battery. It's incorrect. The double-tap to wake feature is heavily dependant on the kernel, and in some circumstances can (and has been proven to) drain battery.

The implementation is supposed to be done right on the oneplus but nevertheless I'll try disabling it again. In fact all gestures. Even on the m7 with a more hacky wake features, I never saw more than 5% drain overnight.

I run about 3 different tools to ensure my battery is used the way i want it.
1. Greenify - this will hibernate and auto hibernate apps when not in use. I also use the Xposed to boost it more with experimental features.
2. Wakelock Detector - Almost a must if you are having drain issues. This app will tell you the culprit each time
3. Titanium Pro - Freeze crap that wont go away.
I had the play services issues before. I went to my settings -> accounts -> sync options for each and toggled off the play store. I also went into apps/play services and cleared data/cache. I remember it didn't go away entirely and I found that Google + was one of the issues. That and I had a sync error that wouldn't go away. After removing my google accounts and re attaching them, i monitored with wakelock.
After that it went away. I then had a calendar drain with calendar storage from a widget that woke up a beast. Greenified it, froze it and that is gone while not affecting my calendars.
Anways, point of my post is to advise you to run those 3 apps. If you only run 1, wakelock is fantastic. I highly recommend all.

Very good tips from @tehpud .. to add onto it
BetterBatteryStats and Gsam are two other good wakelock detecting apps.

Battery drain so fast

So currently I'm using my new xperia z5.. It's one week already since i have this phone. I noticed that my phone drain battery real quick.. It's quite make me sad. But the good thing is when i wanted to charge it.. It charge so fast.. Like maybe 30 minutes for 40% increase.. And btw
... I want u guys to help me how i can fix my problem cause i love using my phone as a gaming device and browsing and other stuff, it is like my 24 hours non stop without using it .. I knew i was a beginner in android thing.. Please guys help me..
Am i supposed to factory reset it or anything i could do?? And Btw I'm using the UCH20 ( i read in the sony that itsn't quick charging) but I'm happy with the charging though..
It is fast.. But also fast to drain
Please guys help me D':

Go to Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage to see what is using your battery the most. If you want more help, I would advise you to take a screenshot of that page and post it here. With me, it's normally Chrome or the Screen.

He said 30 minutes CHARGING for 40% increase...
Anyway, I can't even get my Quick Charger to perform that well so maybe OP should let the battery discharge fully and then charge fully to maybe calibrate the battery.

Oops. Didn't read correctly. Also are you using the charger that came out of the box? I don't think that is quick charge.
Maybe try using a normal charger instead of a quick charger? I don't use quick charge and normally get 4-5 hours SOT.

UCH20 is a "normal" charger. UCH10 is the Sony Quick Charge one but doesn't come with every Z5.

Go to Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage to see what is using your battery the most. If you want more help, I would advise you to take a screenshot of that page and post it here. With me, it's normally Chrome or the Screen.

Yeah i don't use the quick charger one

My Z5 came with the quick charger. Made in Taiwan. Perhaps it would be the causes of the battery drain?

I think so.. But it maybe not the main reason why it drained so fast.. it is like when i just using my phone only for 2 minutes it also drain for 2%. What a mess! i don't expected Sony to be like this tbh

Yes i noticed that.. The worst thing is when i just left my phone at screen off.. The battery just decreasing like 3% unused which is why i just so pissed off. I hope sony could fix this thing when comes to marshmallow update. i heard that marshmallow could handle this stuff properly

What about auto sync,and location settings too. Those have an impact on battery drain also. I leave auto sync off,and havw location on battery save mode. It helps. I came from a z3 which had awesome battery life, but I totally agree here about the z5's battery. Hope marshmallow helps.
Will anybody perform a reset after the new marshmallow?
Is it needed?

Your welcome. Ok, go into settings, accounts,and then top right press the 3 dot menu and itshould be there,if it's on it should be checked,just Un check it.
I use an app for toggles called power toggles,and in this app there is a manual sync all button. So when I want to sync(primarily to sync Gmail) I can just press it,and my mail shows up. I could also just go to Gmail and slide screen down to sync.
Hope this helps.

How many hours SOT are you guys getting?

Mine was checked! Deactivated automatic synchronization! Thank you! Also deactivated google location history too!

I'm always running in stamina mode too. I also use extended standby and extended usage both checked. I have run the phone with out stamina and it doesn't perform and better, but the battery drains 2 times faster when not in stamina mode.

That's so true.. It happens to me either. Now i think that Sony phone is quite disappointing for now.. and at the end i hope that they fix this asap next year :3

Make sure wifi scanning even when wifi is off is turned off and put location settings on battery saving (mobile network and wifi only).
Also switch to 2g when not using internet. Switch to 2G voice and text only.
Then you can add a mobile data and 4g toggle on the quick setting toggles and when you want internet press 4g then mobile data, then when finished press mobile data toggle and then turn 4g off and it will go back to 2g.
You should also check in google account that anything you don't need syncing like google music, books, games etc is not syncing.
Fast chargers work fine and won't impact battery life short term. I get 5hours SOT using Galaxy S6 fast charger.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Mi 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

If anyone could post the standby drain overnight it would be great. I would like to know how much % is lost during night time....

This one is from mine:
{
"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",

It's 20% over 9 hours, so it's around 2% per hour. Everything is still on: sync (3 email accounts, 7 social media apps), wifi, bluetooth, etc.

I'd really like help with this area, if anyone can give me any advice. If I charge my phone to 100% at night then unplug it, when I wake up in the morning it's down to less than 50%. This is with pretty much nothing on, no wifi, data, bluetooth etc. This happens most of the time, but not all the time (when it doesn't I can get a few days of use out of the phone), and I've yet to identify and fix the exact cause.
Haven't empirically tested, but I seem to get more battery life when in continual use (listening to music off and on, etc), then when resting overnight/for long periods.
I can give any details needed, but I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.0-20160908. Have tried Doze, and GSam (can post any logs if I know what's useful), and Wakelock detector. Would changing roms help?

Hi Khazidhea,
I can tell for sure that it is NOT NORMAL that your phone drains about 7 to 8% of battery life each hour !
Especially if you disconnect Wi-Fi and BT.
The only thing I can think of, is that you are in an area where the phone constantly switches from 3G to 4G to get on the network.
Of course, if you have 2 SIM cards in that phone, that may increase the drain significantly...
I think that if you are on Cyanogen, there is an option in Settings that is called "SIM Cards".
If you select that option, you should be able to have some access to settings for each SIM Card.
Try to select one and look for the option called "Preferred Network" and select something like "WCDMA" or "GSM" (that is 2G in the US and 2G in Europe).
See if that improves...
As far as I am concerned, I run my Xiaomi mi5 with a ROM called "Tipsy-OS" that I have compiled myself...
So far, I am unplugged since 2 hours, have used the phone with 4G, BT, Wi-Fi, automatic updates of apps, mail retrieving, applied themes via substratum... and lost 2%.
So no, 8%/hour without doing anything is NOT NORMAL !
Regards.

I finally ended up fixing this. Simply changing the setting "Preferred network type" from 4G to 3G made my battery usage change from about 2/3 of a day, to up to 4 days, with my typical pattern of usage. Note that when my battery was being drained before I did not have data turned on, so not sure why that ended up being the fix.

If 4G coverage is bad in your area, it will trigger reconnection over and over again, causing battery drain. The protocol itself is indeed more battery consuming in general, but shouldn't have much gap with 3G under the same coverage quality.

% 5 full network bltooth

seems mine 1-2%per hour all sync on, wifi.

I can confirm same here LOS airplane mode = 0am till 6am 100% to 98 or 97 % so at max decrease a 1/2% an hour.

In a non-airplane mode with WiFi connected I get a bit more than 1%/h with greenify activated.

I posted in another thread but i've got no answer.
I decided to switch to Global Dev ROM thinking it might solve my battery issues, but it only got worse, im getting around 40% battery drain overnight. Any ideas???? I don't have mi sync enabled, google play is set to not auto-update apps, i barely use mobile data, so only wifi.

seems like a wakelock, the global dev is the official? Did you install any other app of it's like that after the wipe and flashing? Check for wakelock detector apps in the store

Official Global Dev, so i noticed that "Lite Messenger Facebook" was draining the battery like h3ll, i uninstalled it and now i've been using my phone for an entirely day browsing/email/duolingo and half battery has gone, the way it is going i will have to charge every 2 days or so. In the meantime i might just use facebook messenger through the browser.
Although Global Dev is fine, there are some bugs and MiFit does not want to sign in, i might go back to Global Rom when 8.2 comes out to Mi5.
Thank You!

Try this : if you had flashed your devices maybe you could calibrate your battery.
You can find 'Battery Ultra Saver' on xda store
Have a good day.

It is actually XDA Labs
Here is the link to the page, also the page has the link to download the APK
https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-labs/

During the night (8h) I can lose 2-3% (without wifi, BT, LTE...). I'll try Battery Saver Ultra tonight ! Thanks
