Hello everyone. Since I have noticed my battery being drained so rapidly, I decided to setup ROOT and some tools like Wakelock Detector and Better Battery stats.
Here are two services that prevent my phone from deep sleep. They are:
1) Calendar storage(Schedule Next Alarm Wake Lock). It lasted for the whole time since my phone was unplugged until I stopped it via settings -> app manager -> calendar storage -> force stop. It is no longer draining battery, but when I restart my phone, it continues doing so. How to fix?
2) The second and the most annoying service is "Offload track". As I have read some topics in this forum, I understood that it is music player service (correct me if I'm mistaken). It stars working when I turn on music player and it does not stop when I turn on. I have also tried stopping my player via setting (Player Pro) but this won't work. It's stopping only when I restart my phone and drains battery. Can anyone help me?
Did you ever find a solution to nr 2? Searched everywhere don't get a hit on "offload track drain/wakelock"

Hey guys,
N00b here.
I've read the n00b guide and also searched around in the forum. I did find a thread similar to mine however I couldn't really get any useful info out of it and maybe since then new tools are available to help me track my problem, so I post my question.
So... on to it...
My Nexus S is suddenly having high keep-awake times. About phone tells me a battery usage of 32% android system, followed by 21% Display. Android system has a keep awake time of 3h 51m and a CPU total of 7m 52s. All this over the course of 19 hours. I don't have a screenshot with me but it's clear that the phone is awake a lot when the screen is off.
Automatic updates are off.
Some days ago everything was fine. My google acount is only synching contacts and calendar and even that is turned off when I'm not at home. Even so, I saw a high usage of the keep-awake bar even when the screen was off.
I've installed some weather widgets and battery info widgets and the update cycles of weather applications are around 45 mins so I wouldn't see a reason for such a high period of keep-awake cycles.
Anyway, each phone is a phone, is there an application that can tell you what is keeping the phone awake ? I have installed Watchdog lite but it doesn't show anything abnormal. I've installed Spare Parts Plus but it can't show me the battery usage history because apparently stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread doesn't support it.
So now I'm stick with trying to disabled notifications on one app, remove its widget and see if it helps. If it doesn't.. go to the next. This is quite tedious work really.
Still the battery life is ok I guess... 50% after 19 hours however I haven't played around with it much but I would be happier to have a low keep-awake cycle for the Android System like I had some days ago.. makes me feel like everything is fine
Thanks for any hints guys!
Having the same issue as well.. I have my widgets and such to only check every 4-6 hours, but the awake time in the battery stats is nearly on all the time.
Keep awake time is 4 hours and 22 min, out of 12 hours of battery. I'm left with 42 % battery with only 1 hr 15 min on screen time (texts and such, no games).
Hmmm a memory drain of 60% in 1 hour is quite a bit heavy. I would suggest you to download Watchdog lite from the app store and use it's real time CPU analyzer to try and see what's consuming the most.
Once I had weatherbug going rogue. But then it showed up in the battery usage list with a high CPU usage and clicking on the item I could see a high awake time so I uninstalled it.
At the moment I've removed some of my widgets and so far it seems to be OK. However tonight I had some weird awake times again. I uninstalled Battery Info widget from the phone and I'll see if it all goes well tonight. Then I'll start to activate the other widgets I had deactivated before to see what happens.
Also I downloaded aCatLog from the app store. Pretty interesting tool... you can see what's going on in the logs. I see a few Java exceptions every now and then.. never a good sign as they might not be handled properly by the application code that threw them. I see evernote synch problems, a data traffic counter throwing exceptions and K-9 to have problems with idle connection reset by peer. And I often see the garbage collector working. But I assume all this is normal. Switching to the event log it's too much information to absorve. Nevertheless I haven't seen in any of those logs an explicit request or grant of a system wake lock.

Do I need to download Terminal Emulator from the market to do this ? Or do I need to download the Android SDK and connect to the device via USB ? I need to check out to do this, never done it before and this is my first android phone.. only a week old
Again this morning my awake time was on for quite a bit (I guess 1 hour). I got an extract of the main log...
Some things are curious, the following occurs more or less each half hour. I am signed out of gtalk why was the service trying to keep alive ?
06-08 06:10:03.656 W/GTalkService( 189): [GTalkConnection.18] doConnect: caught XMPPError connecting to mtalk.google.com:5228.: (502)

06-08 06:10:03.660 D/GTalkService( 189): [GTalkConnection.18] connectionClosed: connId=0, error=CONNECTION FAILED
This is also giving me trouble, I might uninstall my Traffic Counter app
06-08 06:42:30.710 W/System.err( 4015): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.carl.trafficcounter/app_pref_bytes_last/0_0_bytes_last (No such file or directory)
Evernote seems to have some issues as well sometimes
06-08 06:44:36.371 I/com.evernote.android.edam.TAndroidHttpClient( 5320): 25: Response received in: 126718ms

And that's all I could see. Everything else seems to be garbage collection WiFi activities and what not..
It seems that I've narrowed down Go Weather as what's making my Android System stay awake. I couldn't see anything really useful on logcat about this but empiric observations seem to confirm it.
If I remove the Go Weather widget and turn off it's background updates (hourly), then restart the phone... I see the Android System incrementing some 3-4 mins keep awake time per hour. If I set the widget again and turn on Go Weather's background updates, after an hour the Android System keep awake time goes up like 15-20 mins or so. If at this point I remove the Go Weather widget and turn off it's background updates, the Android System keep awake will still go up at the same rate as if the Widget was there. If I restart the phone without the widget, then the Android System keep awake seems to increase back to regular 3-4 mins per hour.
The funny thing is that according to Permission Dog, Go Weather doesn't even use the WAKE permission so I would rule it out as what was keeping Android System awake.
Android System was driving me crazy too. I figured out that when my WiFi was enabled, it would continually keep the phone awake when the screen was off. So I just toggle the wifi off when I'm not using it, and android system behaves now.
I'm curious as to what changed though, because when I was using stock 2.3.4 and CM7.0.3 I would leave wifi on all day, and android system didn't cause any battery issues.
Hello all. Sometimes (very often actually) the battery starts going down very fast. Taking a look at the frequency states of the CPU I saw it's because it doesn't go in deep sleep state. The guilty is the media scanner process, a sub-process of the download manager app it seems. I tried to Greenify the app, I even disabled the media scanner process completely, nothing. If I go in the Apps section in settings and I find media process in the cached processes the phone doesn't sleep (even if the service is disabled!). How do I prevent it to keep the phone in a permanent wakelock state?
Android 5.1 stock rom, everything is up-to-date.
Yesterday, before to go to bed I've done the following:
I turned off wifi, set the phone to plane mode and activated the power save under the battery settings (which should reduce a lot of things). Before to lock the screen my battery was at 57 %. After 8 hour my battery was at 44 %.
Thanks to "BetterBatteryStats" - BBS - I've found, under the "Alarms" section, that the process com.google.android.gms was reported to be active at 56 %.
I am sure that I don't have other WakeLocks, firstly because no Wake Locks are reported by BBS - and the deep sleep is correctly reported also by BBS, and secondly because the phone is only awake when the screen is on:
I ask to myself: why Google Play Store remains active when there is no active connection on my phone, and when the sync is disabled? Furthermore, under the wifi option I also disabled the option wifi scan always available.
I think I'm on the right way to solve this issue. I've done some research and I installed "Disable Service" from the playstore.
First of all, please keep in mind that I use just few Google Apps: Gmail, Google App (to use the vocal assistant) and the Play Store. With the following changes all these apps still work without issues (at least for now).
last night i left my phone in standby as yesterday (plane mode, wifi turned off and powersave activate): for 8 hours is always stayed at 91 % of charge
Here the services of which I got rid:
LockScreenService
BackupTransport
Googlelocationservice
GoogleLocationManagerService
GcmService
These four services were always active as background processes on my phone.
Then, using Gemini App Manager, I went to Google Play Services, and by going under "AppOps" I turned off the "Wake Lock" authorization.
Furthermore, I also disabled other services related to G apps which I don't use:
com.google.android.gms.drive.api.DriveAsyncService com.google.android.gms.fitness.sync.FitnessSyncAdapterService
com.google.android.gms.games.service.GamesSyncServiceMain
com.google.android.gms.games.service.GamesSyncServiceNotification
com.google.android.gms.drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.MetadataSyncService
com.google.android.gms.plus.service.OfflineActionSyncAdapterService
com.google.android.location.reporting.service.ReportingSyncService
com.google.android.gms.kids.restrictions.sync.RestrictionsSyncService
com.google.android.gms.drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.SyncAdapterService
com.google.android.gms.subscribedfeeds.SyncService com.google.android.gms.kids.timeouts.sync.TimeoutsSyncService
com.google.android.gms.fitness.wearables.WearableSyncService
and all services related to Google Drive.
But the above section i'm not sure which is useful, since I never seen these services active on my phone, also because I uninstalled a lot of g-apps (Drive, Games, Plus, Books, News, Music).
I will keep updated this discussion when/if I will encounter some trouble (eg I want to test Google Maps and the GPS).
Dude i got the same problem!! But i play quite a lot with my Mi4c so i sould care what i'm going to stop!
This thing is really annoying anyway :/
How did you uninstall them my ex synced our phones plus added things to spy but its not even letting me forcestop some of them what he has added and is remote using or bridgung....has able to see everything text messages phone calls my pictures everything. ..HELP PLEASE HELP
Hello all,
My phab 2 Pro is draining its battery too fast with the screen off. Using Battery Historian I've been able to pinpoint it down to something keeping the phone awake when it should be sleeping. The problem is it happens randomly and I haven't been able to "connect" it to a specific app or setting.
The "kernel wakeup reason" that Battery Historian shows as the (I think so anyway) culprit is "Abort:Wakeup IRQ -1169425744 (null) pending". The number after "IRQ -" changes from log to log.
Something else that keeps popping up on the "Userspace wakelock" line with short bursts is "RILJ". This is precisely during the period that the phone is "awake" but the screen is off. So maybe the RILJ and the IRQ thing have something to do with each other?
Steps I took:
Full factory reset
Uninstalled ALL apps that can be uninstalled.
Disabled ALL apps that can be disabled, apart from things that have to stay like keyboard.
Switched of any Location setting that can be switched off
Switched of all syncing that can be switched off
Enabled developer options (to be able to pull the bugreport.txt off the device using adb)
Engaged airplane mode
But even with all of these steps, which leaves the phone totally unusable (but I have another daily driver) this weird kernel wakelock still happens frequently, draining the battery very fast. Going from 38% down to 9% in just 6 hours, with the screen off(!) is plainly unacceptable.
Are there other users out there experiencing the same? I know of one guy who posted lasted year, but maybe there are more out there?
Can anybody help with this? I have no idea what to do now I more or less now where the problem lies. I'm no coder and don't know anybody at Lenovo...
Regards,
Sander
Is not normal what happens to you, but as a remote solution ... try to get into the applications that are working, and look at google services, there is one that spends a bestiality, it is called fileakintentoperation $ external that application next to the others Spend a lot of ram, I ended up blocking the services of google play and play store, and I assure you that the battery lasts for more than two days

Hi Rogerbcn,
thanks for replying.
Could you type the name of the app/service again? Google doesn't return anything on "fileakintentoperation" .
I already have the Google play and Play Store apps disabled, unfortunately, that didn't help.
Regards,
Sander
Is just below, where are the services of google play, and is also a service, but after reading that you have disconnected and you also have disconnected play store, gives me your battery or is badly calibrated or is to change, Take it to the sat of lenovo and assert your guarantee that for that we have spent 500 dollars / euros,regards
[rogerbcn] is probably correct and that you may have a defective battery. I use greenify and it seems to extend battery life about 23% for app hibernation.

I resolved with task killer (kil 1 sec. After lockscreen)
edit: not resolved... anyone has other experience?
Seems to be resolved.
I used greenify, with doze go (adb solution)
Hello everyone!
So this thread is for those guys that are still having the standby drain even after trying everything and got no help.
My Device Is not Rooted​Since last 2 weeks my device was having super standby drain and I couldn't help that.
First I thought that it was due to the battery wearing out. But I had this phone(exynos version) for around eight months and that is not enough time for the battery to drain out fast. So I started looking for the fixes in the xda threads but none of them had a mass effect on what i was suffering from.
Then I read about that app named the "Better Battery Stats".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
I used this app to monitor the usage that was being done by different apps.
Most of the battery i.e 61% was being consumed by the apps that were running in the background. And the second big consumer was the android system. So as was mentioned in most of the posts what I tried.
1) Settings> Display> Resolution> Fhd to hd
2)Settings> Device Maintenance> Battery> Save Power and All apps put into always sleeping apps.
3)Setting> Connections> Location> Google Locaation History and disabled it.
4)AOD Disabled.
5)Sync Disabled.
6)Wifi> Advenced> Keep wifi turned on while sleep and set it to never.
7) Reset> Reset network settings
8) Boot into recovery and wipe cache patition
9) Reset factory data(Wipe everything).
And after doing all these steps nothing much changed my battery life since when i after resetting my phone again updated all apps from play store and resetting battery got an SOT of around 3 hours.
Then I again started searching for the problem.
I installed the accuBattery app from play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery&hl=en
And saw that phone was not entering deep sleep for hours that was causing the standby drain!
The major reasons for the drain were.
1) TOUCHWIZ HOME!
2) Google Chrome.
3) Facebook app.
To fix that I applied Lawnchair as my default launcher.
set the theme to dark. Disabled the location permission in the facebook app. And disabled google chrome.
Other settings that also helped were
Change the resolution to hd. Disable google location history.
And boom.... It worked Like a Charm....
Now to add an extra something to the battery life i switch to MID Power Saving mode. That Also helps alot when phone is not being used as it stops background data usage by apps.
Now the average sot that i get from my phone is around 6 to 7 hours.
And the phone sleeps like a baby. 5% Drain in 10h and wifi was on for the whole night. Deep sleep for 9h 41m.
PS: I use most of the time my phone for gaming and heavy usage.
Hope this will work for you guys too.
Screenshots Are attached for the proof!!
Thanks for this man
How are your notifications? I'm having a lot of trouble with delayed notifications, emails/messenger/etc just wake up when I take the phone and I don't even have to wait more than 5-10mins for what seems to be doze to kill everything.
I get whatsapp calls that I miss because the phone never receives it.
And STILL my battery life is far from great.. borderline bad I'd say. So sad
In settings go to device maintenance and hit battery you'll see an option for "always sleeping apps" enter any apps you don't want to run in the bsckground, which will probably be most of them. Saves a lot of data and a lot of battery.
