Phone keeping itself awake - airplane mode, data off, wifi off - General Questions and Answers

Can nyone help me out with why this happens, only sometimes??
This time it looks like the main culprit is the kernel, but i have no idea: how id fix it, why its only sometimes, what else i oculd do to prevent it. i have even de-greenified google play services and google services framework as they never seem to stay hibernated. Yet this still happened, again....
i also noticed hsic was kept awake for a while, but since im not sure what it is, maybe that is normal...
help??
If it was always draining like that every night, id say maybe its time for a new battery... but it only happens once every few weeks, at most.
it was in the upper 80s last night percent wise. all things in the regular battery usage screen looked normal with screen showing the most usage...

Which phone is it? Go through the apps you installed just before it started and try uninstalling them one-by-one and see if the problem still persists, this helps eliminate those apps. Other than that, factory reset? Probably not what you wanted to hear but that will 99% of the time fix the issue.

Trying to understand a supposed battery problem. Maybe wireless.

Alright so the past couple days I have been trying to determine and figure out more about why I am having SOD problems. Yes I understand there is a thread for the SOD but something still bugs me on account a friend of mine has no SOD problems with the same wifi model.
While I haven't had an SOD for a couple days something else hasn't been sitting well in my stomach and that's the battery usage... All of a sudden Android OS is using a significant amount of battery. Much higher than the screen and I don't remember that happening before...
So I downloaded better battery stats and let the tablet sit for about 30 to 40 minutes and her are the results. I am hoping someone will see something out of the ordinary and point me in a good direction.
One I thing I see is that the wifi is on a lot and ar6k_wow seems to to be on a decent amount too. Next test will be removing the Facebook app despite me having it set to no notifications or syncing and see how things pan out since I know the Facebook app is notorious for battery drainage.

{Help} Battery troubles still

I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

Huge battery drain after Facory Reset

Hi guys, i performed a factory reset to my opo, but now i have a huge battery drain. I think it is caused by the Wi-Fi but i don't know why. I disabled location, autobackups, ok google detection and stuff like these. I also noticed that the wifi is active also when the phone is powered off. Any advice?

The huge drain is caused by your weak cell reception. As you can see the drain is minimal right at the beginning when you were not using your device at all.
The drain starts at the same time when the reception starts to get bad (red).
But, you also started using your device quite heavily at that time (active + screen on for longer periods).
Were you on wifi all the time or did you use mobile data and only had wifi left enabled?
What was you screen on time at the end of the day?
Without more information about what you were doing with your device I would say you were on the go, maybe on a trainride with bad cell reception which uses much more battery.
To be honest the battery looks "OK" to me in this case.
About the gap + wifi usage, might just be a statistics bug, I don't know.
Charge your device and go on monitoring your battery... there are bad days and good days.

Google Play Music consuming humongous amounts of battery

Around a couple of weeks back, my phone battery started draining really quickly. In the battery settings view, I could see that Google Play Music is consuming huge amounts of battery.
I have tried reporting the app, so far gotten no response. Other measures such as Force Close, removing permissions, restricting background data access haven't had any effect as well.
I even performed a factory reset a couple of days back, reinstalled all apps, but to no avail. As a last measure, I disabled the app (restore to factory version). Although after I did this, the battery hogging didn't stop, in fact it increased. And it's almost using ALL of the battery. Refer screenshots attached.

Any help is hugely appreciated!
If you are root you can remove the app with system app remover.
If you are not, try to turn off auto download and cache music while streaming.
Also that probably sounds dumb but have you tried some other versions of the app?

WiFi disabled, great battery, WiFi enabled, TERRIBLE battery?? help

Before I was getting 14h total time, with 2.5h SOT time before being forced to charge.
So I did the fresh reset like was suggested. Battery life is FANTASTIC now..... SOT 30M, LFC 3.5h, time left 2d 13h.
However, if I flip on WiFi, my phone will drain quickly, for some reason, I think it is either constantly searching for new WiFi locations and/or it is keeping my phone awake constantly.
Anyone have a remedy for this?

Now look at it afterwards
I only got mine yesterday, but I have noticed the battery life is terrible also. I found a setting in wifi called 'scanning always available', which I have disabled, this might be our culprit.

Click to expand...

I have been looking at that as well.
I would check for wakelocks while WiFi is on. I also double-check the app settings for syncing while on WiFi.
