Android system wakelocks 5.1 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having android system draining more than 20% if their battery? I've read a few posts with other people having it and my last option is to downgrade to 5.0.1 because look at the screenshot, this is non stop 24/7.
Wakelock detector is useless. Doesn't find anything out if the ordinary.

try betterbatterystats app to determine exactly what is causing the wakelock

I was/am having the same issue. Any chance you're using any smart locks? Once I disabled it got a lot better.

Nope no smart locks.
It happens only from 100% to around 60% after reboot it goes away. But it happens every day consistently.

[Q] Battery Drain

I have he Nexus 5 since the past 5 months now! I never faced any battery problem. Now since 3-4 days, i have terrible battery drain. I charge my phone to 100% and sleep and in 8-10hrs sleep, the battery is down to 50% . Android OS and Android system are using 30-35% each. I'm on stock and not rooted. What should I do?
Find out where you wake locks are. Get something like betterbatterystats.

I did! It shows PowerManagerService as the main culprit. wlan_rx_wake and wlan_wd_wake aer also equally responsible. But i dont know what that means. Any suggestions?

It's likely your wifi. Did you recently switch to a different router? Some routers cause excessive wakelocks which in turn cause bad drain. If I leave my wifi on overnight I can sometimes lose 10-15%, if I leave wifi off I generally only lose 1-2% overnight.

Nope! i have been using the same router. Thinking of buying a new one though as this one is 2-3 yrs old!
Anything else I can do? Apart from changing my router?

Try disabling wifi before you hit the sack tonight just to see if that is indeed the cause.

Do you know if your wireless network is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? Selecting one or the other and not using Automatic seems to fix speed issues and might also help with wake locks.
Otherwise you can try setting Locations to Device Only instead of Battery Saver and also disable Wifi always scanning if it's on.
why don't use both?

Clear your cache. Sometimes weirdness can result from that.

Perhaps you should go into your accounts and stop many of the the Google services from syncing. I only have Calendar, Contacts and Gmail on. That might help with battery life.

Make sure you read the last post, it streamlines the process, I just haven't had time to update the OP.

Why would they do that? The whole point of having a smartphone is having instantaneous access to your info and using these features. This is a known bug affecting many. Supposedly oneplus one will fix this with the next ota update.

Things running constantly so that you can have instantaneous and continuous access will drain battery-operated electronics. That's nothing unique with OPO, other smartphones, or any other electronic device which runs on a battery.

Yes it will drain your battery, but not excessively like the google services bug present in cm11s. Most people don't buy a smartphone to have everything turned off on it. My g3 has all the same things constantly active and battery is a beast on it.

That is a great suggestion for a temporary battery life improvement but hopefully the update coming from oneplus will resolve it permanently. I hope it does, I really like this phone but will switch over to the g3 permanently if it doesn't get fixed.
this did the trick on mine. I made this video for couple friends
just stop all the services and do immediate reboot
should be fine after

Once you reboot, the process starts again, so they are running again. Por thats TVE way it should be?.

put location on 'battery saving' instead of 'high accuracy'.
difference was night and day for google services wakelocks for me

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included
Battery Drain turns faster after I update N5 to 5.0.1 and ReRooted.
the update used this Method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57621585&postcount=15
Current state:
Rooted
Google Now Enabled
Location Reporting Disabled
GPS Disabled
Screen Light: Auto
Singal Strengh: -65dBm 23asu
And the Gsam screensnap is listed below.
My question is :
1. How to make the battery drains slowly ? when I am in 4.4.4, it is much more better, maybe it is caused by 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 ?
2. Is the battery draining mainly by "Cells Standby" ? I can see it in top of "Battery" of "Settings", but when I use Gsam to analyse, the "Cells Standby" seems all right?
Thanks.
If you hardly use your screen, other things will be the biggest users of battery.

Yes, but when I use the screen more frequently, the "Cell Standby" is still the biggest drainer in "battery" of "setting", which never happend in 4.4.4.
It's probably an app keeping your phone awake. Seems you have almost 17 hours awake, out of almost 20. Try to use an app similar to Better Battery Stats to check what's keeping your phone awake.
It might be Google Play Services.
You can use Disable Service app (you're rooted) and try to untick some Google Services Syncs. See post 2 in Battery Troubleshooting thread of this forum. Other option would be Greenify. Good luck.

My guess is an app that trigger google play service
try with safe mode too see if it's 3rd party apps related

BTW, can Gsam be used to check it?

Maybe. But this can't explain why cells standby used the most battery.

Same as a windows computer. Boot into safe mode, runs minimal services and apps.

I don't know if you noticed before but the issues lies on the exclamation mark on the wifi and cellular icons if you see them frequently.
I had abad battery drain issue before. I solved the problem by luck. I owned a Linksys WAG320 modem before. Someday it become bricked than I bought an Asus N55. Wakelocks gone that day. So I made a test at my office where a bad wifi connectivity exists. At the office there's still wakelocks than I realized that the issue ise bad wifi connectivity.
So you must find yours. I think it would be a bad cellular data (not cellular itself because you have a good cellular connectivity).

20% drain overnight - 9hrs

Having bad battery drain, lost a lot overnight.

I think you better disable Google app and use it on your browser! And it might be that app which monitors your wakelocks as well. Uninstall it.
Btw: Mods will move it to the correct section (q&a).

I have only just put the app on in the morning to check, and I have disabled google and it is still going down quick in standby - even with removing the app :/
You'll get more help if you cared to post on the proper section (Q and A), not accessories.
Yeh, I thought mods were gonna move it as I accidentally did it wrong. I posted it in q and a but got nothing

What????!

What are these wakelocks?

I am experiencing some screen off battery drain issues and these are my results from BetterBatteryStats. I have been told that the PowerManager wakelocks are just the sum of the partial wakelocks. But the times are absolutely off so I don't think it's true for my case.
Thanks for any help.

Go into the setting and set as charged instead boot. It's more accurate.

Alright, thank you, will do. I managed to fix all my battery drain issues yesterday, so I'm currently writing an extensive guide on what I did to fix everything with my OnePlus 6 so no more people will have to struggle. lol.
