Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what exactly is causing these issues as I've tried all sorts and I can't figure it out.
I'm getting battery drain via android OS (kworker process according to BBS) and I don't know what's causing it. I've attached some screen shots to highlight the problem;
{
"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"
}
As you can see my phone isn't even awake according to the battery summary screen.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Or how I can figure out what (app?) is using the kworker process?
I've restored my phone to stock, clean flashed mahdi and installed an earlier version of AK kernel (v068) that I know for certain I didn't have these issues on. However, I'm still getting the issue on a setup I know for certain I wasn't having any issues on a couple of weeks ago.
I've also tried restoring a nandroid from a few weeks ago that I know for certain didn't have any issues (I keep a backlog of 5 previous nandroids each time I update my kernel etc to try and ensure I always have 1 stable version) but I'm still getting the issue on that too.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
Anyone? It's driving me crazy! Haha
I'm still getting decent battery life despite this process error, it's just before this I was averaging 0.2% per hour while idle, I'm now averaging 0.6%
Should I be looking for an app as a culprit or is it the kernel/rom or something else completely? I'm guessing it's not the kernel/rom as I've ran this setup before without issues, but what I have managed to find on the kworker process online is that it's kernel related. :s
Just for information for anyone who finds this thread after having similar issues, I've solved it, I still have some kworker CPU time but that's to be expected - its MUCH lower than it was in the screenshots above.
One of or all of the following reduced my kworker process CPU times to a reasonable amount.
Set Wifi Ip address to static rather than dhcp on home network
Changed CPU governor from smartmax to intellimm (ak kernel)
Disabled all services in "Google play services" containing "location.reporting"

I wrote BetterBatteryStats because I was missing the great battery history that Spare Parts allowed to call on Froyo:
- Process stats with User and System CPU time
- *removed till issue #1 is fixed* Network Usage with bytes sent and received
- Wakelock stats (the most important one when it comes to battery drain)
- Other Usage stats: Awake, Screen On, Phone On, Wifi On, Wifi Running ratios

This app is still under development and may contain bugs. If you find one you can keep it but I'd be happy if you could also report it to me.
BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead.
BetterBatteryStats is focussing and has been tested on Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb (3.1, thanks to daveid) and the APK is set to run only on those versions only.
What are wakelocks and why should you care about them?
When it comes to Android the most discussed and commented topic that I know is battery drain / battery life. I'm a quite heavy user because I spend a lot of time on the train every day reading my mails, surfing and listening to music but still my phone is off for a long time during the day and while I accept the battery being drained while I use the phone I care about it draining slowly while "doing nothing".
And here's the point: my SGS2 drains about 2-10 mAh where it was up at 20-100 mAh before I started cleaning stuff up (readings were taken with "Battery Monitor Widget" after leaving the phone alone 1/2 hour).
Try it yourself
Thanks
to nobnut and brandall for their support, testing and constructive feedback in the early stages of the development

I have a Nexus S 3G, and installed bone-stock, and got it to idle for 3 days 19 hours, give or take.
I wanted to try CyanogenMod, installed the latest stable (7.1), disabled Data Syncing, have a single GMail account, no apps installed and lose about 2-3% per hour battery life sitting still. I'm using the GladDOS 1.8 Kernel, which is what I used to get the 3 day idle before.
BetterBatteryStats shows that I have 11m23s of GTALK_ASYNC_CONN partial Wakelocks (this is over a 1 hour time period).
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Talk, and still get the Wakelocks.
I'm going to re-install stock and re-verify stock idles fine.
Any ideas? I've searched high-and-low, and it appears it's a known issue, but I've yet to stir up an answer.
Anyone?
Thanks!

I know its been a few weeks guys and apologies for pulling this back up but i suppose its better than starting a new thread.
I have pretty much the exact same problem as plymptop above, i installed betterbatterystats and after only 2 hours its chewing through battery power and pointing to GTALK_ASYNC_CONN"my email address" /android_talk etc and beside this it says "Count: 94.
I had my phone returned to stock 2.3.3 a week or so ago and this wasnt a problem but it seems no matter what custom rom i install, i still get high battery consumption. Anything from 6-12 hours with little or no use.
Anyone got any pointers on what i can do to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Disable automatic backup in Privacy settings. Report back after this.
Ok. On 4.4 (with linaro version of franco kernel) i could leave wifi on and overnight get 2% battery loss.
Now on 4.4.1 (again with linaro version of franco kernel) i get 5% overnight loss. Nothing else has changed!???
Here are my battery stats...
(i plugged it in just before bed so it'd reset the 'unplugged')

I think betterbatterystats is what causes the battery drain in 4.4.1, i uninstalled it and no problems.
Based on the screenshots (log from BBS would be better as some stats are missing in your post) you've got WiFi on with few applications utilizing it. Like SwiftKey, Facebook and few others. Review your WiFi configuration (you may also need to remove/forget your WiFi network from the phone and configure it again - that seem to fix certain WiFi issues at 4.4.1) and check again.Also try with WiFi off for comparison.
Thanks I've just forgot the wifi and rebooted then re connected, I don't get why SwiftKey is using it? It's a keyboard!?

5% loss overnight is still decent I would take that
mine seems ok
edit. seems the pic has gone wrong. it shows the battery going up a few per cent overnight
I know but it's over the double the 2% i used to get!

I also feel the battery drain quite a lot faster. About two times faster when idle, and i see quite a lot "awake" caused by the Android System when the screen is off.
@wheilitjohnny
that must be coming from some process. I don't have such issue, it's pretty much the same as it was on 4.4.
I've not changed any apps etc since tho. That's what's annoying

Hello,
I've had by Z5 since late 2015 and it's been a real trooper. Sadly it has recently (in the last few days) developed an issue where Bluetooth appears to be draining battery like crazy. I've dug around a bit on the internet and found a few people experiencing the problem but none too recently. One post suggested turning on the 'Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log' and toggling Bluetooth on and off, then checking the log. When I turn that setting on, it creates the 'btsnoop_hci.log' which very rapidly starts filling with junk. In the space of about 20 seconds it took for me to toggle BT on and off and take a copy of the log, it had grown to 700 KB.
Below are some screenshots showing the battery usage of Bluetooth. I have a copy of my btsnoop_hci.log file too but I couldn't find a way to attach it to this thread. If there's some way I can share this, please let me know. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this issue, I would be most grateful. As far as usage / changes that might have cause this problem, I can't think of anything too crazy but here are some points:
I paired my phone with a pair of Taotronics BH22 headphones last week but have since forced my Bluetooth to "forget" this device.
I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones pretty much every day to listen to music since March 2019.
I don't use my phone for anything other than messaging, and music. The apps I have installed do automatic updates sometimes -- I was actually suspecting that an automatic update that went on for one of my apps might be the culprit, but I have no idea how to check this.

I think I've figured out what was causing the problem. It was an update to 'Google Play Services'. The version that recently went on was 16.0.91
I installed the beta version (specifically, 17.1.22 (040400-245988633) beta (040400)) and since then, Bluetooth is behaving.
As the title says, what is Network operator Theme pack? Ive already googled it and there is nothing close to it.
I was looking through my phones app list with system apps showing and I saw an app with that name, Network operator Theme pack and I dont recall seeing it before. It goes without saying, but I didnt install that app. The package name is "com.android.networksettings.overlay.ct".
There is also an app called Permission controller Them pack and its package name is "com.google.android.overlay.modules.permissioncontroller".
While they may mean nothing at all and be completely harmless, the "overlay" part raised a little red flag for me. Ive also been having severe battery drainage issues, but I dont know if that is related or not. Severe as in losing 1% of the charge every 3-8 minutes when using the phone and about 4%-5% every 45-60 minutes when the screen is off.
I looked at the list of processes running in 3C All in One Toolbox (paid version) and the only thing that was a problem was the mediaextractor kernel process which I killed each time it was a problem as it was eating up in excess of %150+ of the phones cpu. I was also rooted up until a few weeks ago when I updated magisk (through magisk manager) & edxposed, then after the phone restarted I was no longer rooted and unable to re-root without wiping all my data (which, needless to say I did not do as I am not in the mood to start over from scratch right now.
So yeah, if anyone could tell me what the strange app package is and maybe help me figure out my battery drainage problem, Id greatly appreciate it.
My phone is a OnePlus 7 Pro running android 10.
Stay healthy everyone!
P.s. I attached a screenshot of the app info window from both of the strange apps mentioned above.
