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.
Any ideas on managing the wakelocks on Android and specifically on the Infinity?
I've checked the option of switching off WiFi with screen-off, but in my battery usage stats I still see that over 10% of battery is consumed by Google Services with 672 wake locks & device waked 77 times (WiFi drain itself is 13,5%, so quite OK). This is what GSam Battery Monitor shows. Android stock battery management (in Settings) shows 51% drain by Google Services and 26% by WiFi (but I believe these stats are wrong most of the time or just measure a different thing, as they show tablet inactive with 2% bar and it has been inactive most of the time actually).
I have google auto-sync on and I need it, but I still think this is too high a number. I don't get 672 e-mails daily, so these shouldn't be PUSH notifications etc.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one seeing these high numbers there?
Have you tried CPUspy for finding out how much time in deep sleep you have?
Better Battery Stats is also a needed tool to find more about wakelocks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I'm looking at it from time to time, but thanks for this. I had some issues when I started this thread, after wipe and re-flashing new firmware it seems OK in the stats: Deep Sleep 44%, 102MHZ 16%, 1500MHz 24% (running on balanced mode, interactive governor).
I'm still curious to get to know how to manage wakelocks under Android from (low) system level however.
I have recently received the OPO. After charging it to 30% and just keeping WiFi on I found the battery to b zero in 12 hrs. I did not even wake up the screen in the whole time. I am really worried now. Its running on the latest 38R version. I am attaching the screenshots and also the kernel wake locks reported by GSam battery monitor for battery drain. In OPO forum a guy suggested to do a manual update of 38R. Will that work as I am already running 38R on it. Please help.

You need several full to zero charge cycles for your battery percentage meter to be accurate. The first couple times, let your phone die COMPLETELY until it shuts itself down. Then charge to 100% UNINTERRUPTED. Your stats aren't going to be accurate after only charging once to 30%.

It did not happen for the first time. This stats is from the 5th or 6th time of this kind of drain. I seriously doubt about the kernel wake ups now

Hi, I have tried it and it really worked, thank you. But still I find that Cpu wakes are draining my battery to a bit unlike my MOTO G. One doubt I had was that, Y only google play services? why cant we apply the same process of denying the wakeup and keep wake options for other apps too like play store? Will it improve or effect the performance of the device?

You can experiment as much as you like with the features of Privacy Guard, keeping in mind that some apps will misbehave if you disallow the wrong permissions. Use an app like BetterBatteryStats to track down exactly what's causing your wakelocks in the meantime though.

Hi,
I have tried denying the google play services from privacy guard, still the phone does not go to deep sleep. 95% of the time the phone is awake even when the screen id off. While using the phone and when on idle state, the drain rate is being the same. Am helpless. Unable to use the phone because of this issue.
So I picked up a Nvidia Shield K1 this weekend and this night I thought to see how effrctive DOSE was.
I went to bed with 96% battery and woke up to a 70% battery.
I havent tweaked anything in my tablet its completly stock.
I'm going to upload a screenshot to prove it. The tablet wws in sleep mode trough this screenshot and not being used as it wpuld sugest.
My question is, is there a way to solve this?
Sorry if my english is bad, and thanks to anyone whom can help me!

Hi,
Have you the Marshmallow update?
Yes I updated it as soon as turned it on
Sent from my XT1524 using XDA Free mobile app
I had the same problem but i think a factory reset solved it.
Strange, I haven't this issue. I have upgraded to Marshmallow once opened from its box, and unlock bootloader/root just after.
Maybe an application which blocks the doze mode?
Have you tried a wakelock detector? You should be able to track down what exactly is eating up your battery.
Check out GSam Battery Monitor, works for me!
Yes, GSam or BetterBatteryStats (link of the XDA post)
There's a thread on the NVidia forum about a similar drain, and in many cases the tablet also runs quite hot when it should be doing next to nothing.
forums.geforce.com/default/topic/904962/shield-tablet/android-6-0-update-battery-drain-by-miscellaneous-app-new-shield-k1-model-/
It appears to be a bug after the 6.0 update, it triggers the /system/bin/logd process.
You can check if you have the same bug by running adb shell with
Code:
top -m 5
(for 5 highes using processes) when it drains quickly, and look for the /system/bin/logd process.
It doesn't necessarily mean that it's the same bug, but considering the fact that quite a lot of people experience the same issue..
On the forum many users reported improvements when turning app optimization off, occasionally turning wifi off and on again and setting 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to 'Only when plugged in' or 'never'.
I have had some good results by selecting 'Only when plugged in' and by turning off 'Help NVIDIA improve SHIELD' in 'About tablet', but we'll have to wait on NVidia to fix this.
Same issue since marshmallow, runs hot with light use and huge battery drain. Been busy so haven't tried to debug or even reset yet but good to know its not just me.... Will unlock and root (will be a factory reset) soon, hope all will be fixed with this
Downgraded to 5.1.1 for the bad battery drain on marshmallow so I'm waiting to see if nvidia issues a update
I sufferring too the issue about abnormal battery drain, and I can't find a way to disable the touchboost (that clock at max cpu&gpu at same time)
so I searched for a kernel manager app compatible since 27th December when I installed my K1 with ota 6.0 , the only one that was updated is Ex Kernel Manager app (latest version 2.41 because 2.38 etc doesn't work) setting it on eco power mode or underclocking cpu to max 1224Mhz (if tablet is turned off or restarted must be set again), lcd set at 60% brightness but auto on, gave to me 26hrs. of active use on internet websurfing, movies and some light gaming at fallout shelter (2%) with wifi on all time and bluetooth for some.
Now I'm happy again ^_^

Hmm, I was actually hoping on keeping one of my devices completely stock/unrooted for a change, makes it easier for OTA's and takes less of my time on tinkering with it
That being said, when looking at CPU Spy it seems the CPU govenor isn't really flexible, most of the CPU states are sleep, 204MHz, 312MHz, 1044MHz, 1530MHz and 2218MHz, and little to no time on the other states.
I'm no kernel expert, but it seems to me that battery life could be extended without performance issues if it wouldn't immediately switch to high CPU states but the states in between...
Anyway, haven't had these abnormal drains since I changed the settings I mentioned earlier. Misc drain snuck a couple of percent yesterday, but lightyears away from what it used to.
I've done those changes and so far the battery life has improved a lot, one more thing my WiFi sometimes drops out of the blue does anyone else have this issue?

Haven't had a dropout as far as I know, but I did notice a WiFi performance drop once or twice. I was still connected, but webpages wouldn't load untill I'd reset the WiFi adapter. Those were also the times that a slight misc drain appeared.
I received NVidia shield v2 K1 with lollipop out of the box.
it updated via OTA to Marshmallow 6.0 and I had to revert back and block it from updating cos it was way to buggy for me, main problem was Wi-Fi/No internet issue. The tablet was a paper weight without internet.
N.B it did connect to the Wi-Fi. Rebooted my router, rebooted tablet, turned airport mode on/off , Changed frequencies and still nothing. My other devices could connect and have internet without issue.
N.B. It could connect to Wi-Fi, just no internet icon !

+1,
I had to set WiFi to Never on during sleep, I also use the debloater app to pretty much disable all Nvidia apps. My standby time has increased dramatically. But I hope nvidia releases an official fix.

Hi guys, I recently updated to 6.0 and have issues with battery drain during sleep. I see that I have a lot of wake locks by GOOGLE_C2DM. Attached is the export from GSAM.
First I thought it was Facebook and Instagram which had the C2DM services, I uninstalled the apps but still have the wake locks.

no, it is : /system/bin/logd -> this process gets stuck due to a third party error.
Just install OS Monitor and reset this Process if it runs into a high load.
nVidia will Release a Patch within the next days or a week, there is a announcment for that and a beta update for tester.
I install Deep Sleep app and set it to SLUMBERER MODE, now my battery only goes down 2% overnight. I'm happy with the results. Don't mind having notifications appear after I wake up device.

Hi,
Did this fix your problem permanently?
I bought mine 3 days ago, updated to mm 2 days ago and yesterday, voila, drain occurred while browsing pages I think, or some YouTube or streaming video...
I will try this today when I come back.
Can someone help me to investigate the log file of BetterBatteryStats?
In these days I barely use my phone, and I also noticed this behaviour before, so today I started to better investigate: today I just used 1 minute of wifi: I don't have the data connection on my SIM card: i disabled data - I only use wifi for internet - and I just make one call, I also switched to 2G since I know it use less battery.
Brief summary (BBS full logfile at the end of the message):
In 7 h 34 m I lost 5% of battery (89% to 84%) [0,7%/h]
Deep Sleep (): 7 h 18 m 33 s 96,4%
Awake (Screen Off) (): 1 m 29 s 0,3%
Screen On (): 14 m 44 s 3,2%
Phone On (): 2 m 1 s 0,4%
Wifi On (): 1 m 32 s 0,3%
Wifi Running (): 1 m 31 s 0,3%
Doze Interactive Time (): 14 m 42 s 3,2%
Sync (): 9 s 0,0%
Screen dark (): 14 m 44 s 3,2%
When I look in background apps there are just few apps: the most relevant are Root call blocker, ACalendar, Google Keyboard and Automate; for the most of the time I don't have any Google Service running in background, in part because I greenified Google Play Service and the App Google (which I just manually run only when I need) and also because, using "Disable Services" app, I disabled some Google Play Service elements. Looking at the dump file of BBS, my phone correctly goes in Deep Sleep mode. I think is natural and unavoidable to lose a little bit of battery when the phone is ON, but losing 5% in seven hours just by doing almost nothing, seems little bit strange, am I right? Or is just a paranoia?
However, the following is my BetterBatteryStats log file:
http://pastebin.com/qY9sd9xU
There is something strange?
If needed I can provide some other logfile or screenshots.
Thank you.

In 7 h 34 m I lost 5% of battery (89% to 84%) [0,7%/h]
Deep Sleep (): 7 h 18 m 33 s 96,4%
Awake (Screen Off) (): 1 m 29 s 0,3%
Screen On (): 14 m 44 s 3,2%
Phone On (): 2 m 1 s 0,4%
Wifi On (): 1 m 32 s 0,3%
Wifi Running (): 1 m 31 s 0,3%
Doze Interactive Time (): 14 m 42 s 3,2%
Sync (): 9 s 0,0%
Screen dark (): 14 m 44 s 3,2%
When I look in background apps there are just few apps: the most relevant are Root call blocker, ACalendar, Google Keyboard and Automate; for the most of the time I don't have any Google Service running in background, in part because I greenified Google Play Service and the App Google (which I just manually run only when I need) and also because, using "Disable Services" app, I disabled some Google Play Service elements. Looking at the dump file of BBS, my phone correctly goes in Deep Sleep mode. I think is natural and unavoidable to lose a little bit of battery when the phone is ON, but losing 5% in seven hours just by doing almost nothing, seems little bit strange, am I right? Or is just a paranoia?
However, the following is my BetterBatteryStats log file:

There is something strange?
If needed I can provide some other logfile or screenshots.
Thank you.

5% in seven hours, yeah, you're being to critical. Lollipop and newer has more background processes.
If anything your deep sleep isn't working correctly, of everything you listed, it is showing that it used the majority(almost all) of the energy expended from battery. That may not be accurate though.

Well, in facts I can't figure out what, during the deep sleep, is causing this battery drain.
Few hours ago (22:16 PM) I had 84% of available battery juice; now after about three hours (I received one call and I used whatsapp for a pair of minutes - under wifi -) I have the battery at 77%: it means -7% in three hours.
I have almost zero wakeups (checked with WakeLocks detector):
In BBS, when I look to Kernel WakeLock, the most relevant is PowerManagerService.Display which seems ok:
In BBS, under Partial WakeLocks, instead, everything, again, is almost to zero:
Alarms:
"Android" is the most present alarm.
Using "Disable Services", I disabled "GeoFenceHardwareService" and "LocalTransportService" which are part of Android OS.
I am surely critical, but when the phone is in deep sleep, I expect that the battery drain would be lower than I see on my phone. Also because I have a very low usage of my phone, and I optimized the system with Greenify, "Disable Services" and also with a Startup Manager, furthermore by uninstalling a lot of apps (mainly Google Apps) using Titanium Backup.
Since I not have relevant WakeLocks, maybe is Lollipop itself which is draining my battery during the deep sleep? I noticed that If i put my phone in plane mode and i activate the power saving mode, also after 8 hours I find my battery percentage as the same percentage.

OK, apps like WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat, FB Messenger, FB are very demanding and constantly running apps, they are constantly scanning network for updates to notifications and feeds, probably even during deep sleep. Also, Google Play Services is a major battery hog, there is an update service in Google Play Services that can be disabled with Disable Service app.
There are some kind of processes running somewhere, obviously network dependent because it doesn't do this when in airplane mode. Something is constantly "talking" back and forth "saying" and "hearing" something.

I only use whatsapp, and as I stated, I completely disabled the data connection on my phone, because on my SIM card, with my provider ,I don't have subscribed any option for data connection: so all my apps on my phone are free to sync and check only when wifi is on, and i barely keep the wifi on, as you can see in my screenshots (on 12 hours of total usage, the wifi was on only about for 15 mins)

Google Play Services is almost inactive on my phone, as you can see again from my screenshots, and using "Disable Services" i disabled almost everything from Google Play Services see: http://funkyimg.com/i/2hzSC.png
I guess that at this point could be an issue with the radio, although I have a full signal (I only go with 2G)
