Has anyone else noticed heavy standby drain from Android System?
I spent a couple of hours digging through to find the culprit and it looks like it's actually Qualcomm's IZat location services. Even though you can disable it in the location settings it is still set to scan and report back to Qualcomm's servers via a couple of config files in /etc.
Instead of changing the config files and forgetting which ones I changed I simply disabled the service in location settings then disabled the package that IZat uses and rebooted.
I am already seeing an decrease in battery usage and I have been able to still use GPS.
You can either freeze the app with Titanium Backup or whatever you choose. I did it through adb which I believe is even possible to do without root.
com.qualcomm.location
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.qualcomm.location
I hope this helps someone else out that was having the same issue. I did not get a screen shoot of my battery usage before disabling the service but I have included one with it disabled.
I was losing 15% overnight with a kernel wakelock for the entire night that showed up as LocationManagerServiceEx through GSam
for users with no root:
Code:
adb shell pm hide com.qualcomm.location
I'm going to poke around and try and find the files in /etc you mentioned.. would rather tackle the actual problem in the config files than disable izat entirely. good find though. I'm currently trying to find the source of my Google Play services drain (may be related to pushbullet). you mentioned that it was showing up in your Android system drain so not sure if it'll help with my specific issue but if it does I'll report back.

I think they were lowi.conf and xtwifi.conf there might have been more but I can't remember at this time.
As for finding what is draining I learned recently (and quickly) how helpful dumpsys is.

ahh thank you. I got sidetracked when trying to pinpoint my drain and never went through all the files. I will check out those 2 files as well as grep around through the rest.
and thanks for the dumpsys tip... never actually used it. I went the easy route and reinstalled BetterBatteryStats. Within 20 minutes a partial waklock stood out... "CmaSystemUpdateService"
A quick google lead me to this reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/4jmw74/cmasystemupdateservice_wakelock/
Made sense... I had blocked OTA updates using the same method Nexus devices use.. as the tmo g5 gets its updates the same way.. instead of using LG's own updater like most of the other variants. As soon as re-enabled "SystemUpdateService" in Google Play Services the wakelock stopped and battery was fine. I'm not sure what needs to be done to stop the wakelock while still blocking OTA updates... more research must be done.

I had the same drain after disabling updated on my tmo g5. I used app MyAndroidTools to fix it. After you disable system updates open the app and grant root. Open the menu and click on service, broadcast receiver and activity options. In each on goto system then find Google play services and disable anything that says system update then go back and do the same for Google play services framework. After disabling for all three categories restart and your wavelock will be gone. Also you can disable the OTA using this method as well. Seems like when using adb it only disables some of the services but not all which is why it keeps searching for updates. Hope this helps.
I too have this irritating wakelock which prevents the phone from reaching deep sleep (it shows up as LocationManagerServiceEx in betterbatterystats).
When I freeze the com.qualcomm.location app however, GPS actually DOES NOT work the way it is supposed to. Interestingly, it results in the GPS behaving just like the 10A GPS bug--GPS is achieved, but then cuts in and out all the time, making nav near useless. The 10D update fixed this. So maybe the implementation was buggy in the 10a firmware.
Still would be nice to have a more permanent fix for this wakelock issue. I'm not getting the cmasystemupdateservice issue.

Hi @autoprime,
For some reason, out of the blue, I received the Nougat update notification today. I plan on staying on MM until I retire the device.
I had previously knocked out the OTA update receivers using 3c system tuner, just disabling the receiver elements that matched the 3 ones you listed in your all in one thread.
When I looked at the running receivers, one of them that was still on for some reason (update.systemupdateserviceactivereceiver). I can toggle it off, but it doesn't stick with a reboot. Under services, update.systemupdateservice was still active.
I decided to go the ADB route. I stopped the services using your ADB commands. This fixed the OTA. But then just as you mentioned, the CmaSystemUpdateService wakelock came in.
Did your research come up with any new ways to stop the OTA notification?

Using the app My Android Tools is the easiest way I found. Then do like I said before and go into each category and click on Google play services and search for systemupdate, disable anything the comes up. Then go into Google services framework and search for same thing and disable anything that comes up. I've included some screenshots, hopefully that helps. Maybe when I have more time I'll write each thing down and post list but don't have time right now.

Attached images from BBS and andriod battery stats, how to fix/prevent this ?
Doesn't look so bad. Have you googled android.gms
That process is the generic name for all Google Play Services. Could be any number of reasons why it is doing that from location services to a sensor continuously getting polled.
Go into BBS and check the exact name of the wakelock.

From the Alarms section (the one you posted) click on the "com.google.android.gms" line.
This should bring up another window with the actual name of the wakelocks and how many times each one occurred.

GCM is Google Cloud Messaging. But honestly that's all I've got. I've never even heard of the service. It is some kind of push service that requires a server and configuration of the phone. No clue why your phone is trying to connect to a server though unless you set it up.

What rom are you using? I've been having the same problem in my missus' phone running cm11

Nearly similar here
I've tried to disable the Location Service at all but still the phone remains on "Remain Active" without never rest, anyway it's very strange because some days ago I've never had of this problem, could be a PA gapp issue or ROM?

Solved!
Try to update Google Play Service from this link, reboot and fully recharge.

-Tapatalked with Nexus5-
Good that yo solved it, mine is still recurring..
Options:
1. Assuming data and wifi are already off, try turning of the sync too. Turn off Location reporting, open google maps, log out your google account there. If your problem still occurs, check other options.
2. Other option if you have donate version of greenify, just greenify it.
3. Other option is using android tuner, you can disable gcm manually, more info on link

[Q] Wifi & network location unavailable after switching location off & on again
Hi there,
I found this strange but reproduceable bug on my N5's location services and was wondering if it's the same for you.
Turn off location via settings or quick settings
Turn it back on
You'll be asked to accept Google location terms
Switch to battery saving mode (only wifi & network, no GPS)
After these steps, my N5 cannot find it's location via Wifi & mobile network anymore. In Maps it might still show the blue dot but moving around it won't update. When using any other app which will try to get a fresh location it's a no go. Like Google+, try and make a post with location, no joy.
I have to reboot to get it working again.
Did you agree to those Google terms? If not that's the reason...

Just got it 2 weeks ago, all is stock, locked and original.
Did you try any other app besides Maps? That sometimes uses last known location and shows blue icon.

You're right, mine also won't find my position without GPS. However a reboot fixes it for me.
Somewhat glad to see others having this bug too. Indeed a reboot fixes it right up so it's not a huge deal.
Under normal circumstances I would't change this setting ever, but when I just got my N5 I wanted to test the GPS only feature. After turning it back to Battery saver I noticed and started investigating what caused it.
Thanks for testing mate!

No problem. I'm glad also to be aware of it now, so that I can avoid standing somewhere I need and it won't find it
Anyone else willing to try this? The N5 from a friend of mine did not show this behavior. And another did. Weird bug.

I have the problem on my 16 GB black nexus 5 with stock Rom and no root. I tested with dalvik and art but the problem exist. I have found 3 solutions:
1- reboot phone (temporary solution)
2- stop Google Play Services (temporary solution)
3- uninstall updates of Google Play Services use with stock/no update (permanent solution)
one more thing; when I can't get a location fix with network/wireless GPS mode on Google Maps or any other application, I can see a circle on " Yandex Navigation" that shows my location.
but more interesting thing is I can see a circle that shows my location on Yandex Navigation when my GPS is completely off.
I think this problem is about Google Play Services or Google Location Services. I hope someone find a solution.

Thanks for your (rigorous :good tests.
Reboot was the one I used to fix it, didn't know about the others you found.
In a strange way glad to see it's a software bug, which means it's fixable. I guess the friend I mentioned has not updated the Play services ever, that would explain why he is not affected.
happens to me as well on a Nexus 7 (2013). I've found that battery drains faster even when in deep sleep
Me and my colleague also have this issue...
Completely wiped and factory reset to stock, same prob.
Reboot solves it until you turn location services off and on again, or go from "device only" mode to "battery saving".
A quicker way then reboot (reboot actually does the same as this step) is go to settings, apps, running, Google Services (you might have 2), there STOP the GoogleLocationService (it will stop and reload the service)
Location should work again in battery saving mode...
Thanks for that one Foggy79!
Reboot or restarting the google play services takes much longer (especially when you have to disable ADM first) then your trick of only stopping the only location service.

No problem.
I just reproduced the issue on an other colleague's N5, that makes 3 ppl here in the office, can't be coincidence.
If the GoogleLocationService could restart automatically when you turn on "Location" and agree the terms, that would be great...

It appears the issue is fixed for me.
I have Google Play services 4.3.24 so it might be fixed behind our backs.
Now when you turn the location off and on again, the GoogleLocationService is automaticly restarted also
Fixed for me as well with the new Google Play Services!
The new version now indeed restarts the LocationService again.
I'm glad Google also reads XDA (j/k)
Now if they can get GoogleLocationsManager and NlpLocationsReciever to stop running when Locations Services are turned off completely, that'd be great.

Hello there, this is almost my first post around here (I hope the first one in the right place)
I had heavy battery draining a couple of days ago and they went away after wipe data and cache. Now I have reinstalled everything I had, I looking to solve an issue that also have before wipes related to battery draining. In BetterBatteryStats shows a wakelock called bam_dmux_wakelock that wakes my phone one time per two seconds. It only appears when phone is using mobile network for the internet (I mean, the way I could make a call and surf the internet only if I'm using wifi).
I've been writing a thread on reddit the last days about that.
The post it's on the MotoG subreddit and it's called "Any solution to idle battery draining?" (I would post the url, but I'm not still able)
Here is a copy of the (I think) more relevant part:
I found some things about the wakelock bam_dmux_wakelock that means nothing to me, but maybe somebody could tell me more about them.
I think is related to Qualcomm hardware, because if you browse to the MotoG kernel you'll found the next folder: kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm, and a fast look for around the web shows that is qualcomm related.
Inside that folder there is two files: bam_dmux.c and inside include folder bam_dmux.h Another file called bam_dmux.txt is in kernel/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/msm, but it isn't in the online kernel repository: link
The content of that file is the following:
Qualcomm BAM Data Multiplexer Driver
Required properties: - compatible : should be "qcom,bam_dmux" - reg : the location and size of the BAM hardware - interrupts : the BAM hardware to apps processor interrupt line
Optional properties: -qcom,satellite-mode: the hardware needs to be configured in satellite mode -qcom,rx-ring-size: the size of the receive ring buffer pool, default is 32
Example:
qcom,[email protected] {
compatible = "qcom,bam_dmux";
reg = <0xfc834000 0x7000>;
interrupts = <0 29 1>;
qcom,satellite-mode;
qcom,rx-ring-size = <64>;
};
BAM seems to mean Bus Access Manager, and of course I don't have a clue about what that means.
In addition I look for files on my MotoG with the string bam_dmux in its name, and two folders came out: /d/bam_dmux and /d/ipc_loggin/bam_dmux In the first one there is three files: * stats * tbl * ul_pkt_cnt
In the second one there is only one file where it keeps the log_cont.

In the post in reddit theres links to the log and others contents.
Any idea how could I stop that? Thank you in advance.
P.d.: sorry for my english, maybe there is some glitch in the post
You probably have an app that is causing this. I would factory reset and install one app at a time until I found the one causing the problem. Then just uninstall that app.
For example I found the BBC weather app caused a wakelock which showed up in 'android OS'. Took a while for me to figure out which app caused it.
Does wakelock detector show any user apps with high wakeup triggers. If so you may find one of them is the cause.
Broadband Access Multiplexor.
There's another thread on XDA (going back a year or two) trying to diagnose causes for high incidence of this wakelock, which came to the conclusion it is caused by some other app trying to keep a mobile data server connection open. Your pattern of repeated every couple of seconds wakelock suggests something is trying to sync / ping a server and is failing to do so, but won't give up.
A look at what is showing up as using a lot of mobile date might help in diagnosing the problem app, and also checking what your sync settings are. Try disabling autosync for a while to see if it continues to show up.
Google+ auto backup of photos is something I would expect to cause a high incidence of this wakelock if you you the camera regularly.

Have been using K9 as well on my XT1032 but I did not have battery drain.
So I can not confirm that K9 will be causing this.
Or did you maybe have setup in your configuration that K9 had to check your mail every 5 minutes.
I had two accounts with IMAP push and refresh idle conection every 60 minutes, and another three with IMAP but without push and check every 6 hours or so.
Now I only have one of the two first ones and draining have decreased, but still there is a bit.
I'm using mainly WiFi (no wakelocks) since right now have a lot of work and I cannot spend enough time with this.

I've reconfigured all my accounts with IMAP, two of them with push and anotherone with sync every 24 hours . Now I'll check if still is making some wakelocks. Also I've switched the telegram client: from unofficial to the official one.
I hope it solves my issue with K9 because I really love that email client.
Let's see
Any idea why the wakelock only appears using mobile data and no wifi?

No but I also have this annoying problem. And I don't have k9 or telegram installed.
@elfio: in your case wakelock is caused by k9 when using data right?
So the only way to find out is to uninstall one app at the time and re-install it and test? I have root is there any more sophisticated method to find out app in question?

K9-mail is not the only app causing this wakelock, but after I disabled the push imap it the wakelock went down a lot. Now I have a power consume around 0.6~1%/hour with 2G on and screen off. I think this is a great consume, and there is still some wakelock and I don't know wich app it is causing it.
I have no rooted the phone and I don't know how it could be solved this issue. I hope the next update solves it.
Anything I can help you, just tell me
I've uploaded a screenshot of my batterystats after a few hours of normal use. I hope you find it useful.
From out of the box I've been having GPS issues. It won't get a lock when I use navigation. I've tried different places, different apps (waze and google maps) and different times (different days). If I restart the phone, it'll get a lock after about 10 seconds.
What would cause the GPS to not work unless the phone is restarted?
I contacted OnePlus and they all but told me to go screw myself. They suggested that I should walk around to get a GPS lock and if it persists that I should reset my phone. I reset my phone but all that did was waste two hours of my life re-installing apps and settings.
Any ideas? Anyone else with this issue? The phone is perfect besides this =(
Can't say I'm sure, as I haven't had any issues, except if I caused them. You let google apps have location access in the settings? Are you wake blocking any google location services?
+1 to what roxxorz said. If OP applied the workaround to Google Play Services and denied access to location it can cause a problem.
Also in addition to that make sure your location is set to "High Accuracy" as well as enabling WiFi.
Do note that when your phone is on High Accuracy it is draining the most battery.
I also have the same problem when I m on stock XNPH25R. Have to reboot in order to get a lock from the GPS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54334569&postcount=1
But after I switch to nightlies, no such GPS issue, works like a charm.
I am actually on stock 30O cm11s and I have a GPS lock in two out three seconds. Try to download GPS status app from Google play
Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk
Sorry I'm a complete noob when it comes to the advance stuff. I know nightlies are cyanogenmods quick version changes that may sometimes have small bugs, but never tried updating phone with nightlies. I've always just done the standard OTA updates on my previous phones.
GPS is always on high accurac. Surprisingly today, GPS was working like a charm. I haven't done anything that should affect this positive change.
What is wake locking?

It could be just a thing. Sometimes I'll have apps [maps] that'll lock up, like if they tried to connect and I stopped it / turned off data. At that point killing / force closing the app works.
Normally I'd say if you don't know, don't worry about it, but wake lock is where an app / process keeps the phone awake and keeps the phone from sleeping properly, which leads to more battery drain. Google play services is notorious for waking the device for nonsense, so more advanced users block it. If you have no issues, I'd recommend leaving it alone.
Same problem here

I'm seeing the same thing. GPS was working fine for a week or so, but when I went to use Waze this morning it wouldn't get a lock. GPSTools showed satellites, but wouldn't lock either. Reboot fixed it. A few hours later, same problem. Reboot once again fixed it. This is all stock.
I don't have anything to suggest, but wanted to add to the evidence that there is a problem.
I did install a couple of apps from the app store between the last time I saw the GPS work normally and this morning, so I'll try uninstalling them to see if that helps. I killed them from the task manager, but that didn't help.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble too, but glad I'm not going nuts. You're only the second person I've read that has the same issue I have. OnePlus support was of no help nor did they admit that the issue was real. I hope they'll figure this one out, cause I can't.
Please vote on this issue in CM's bugtracker: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-115
Hints
Here's some new data. As I mentioned, my GPS was working fine up until a few days ago. In those few days, I installed 2 apps: "UP", by Jawbone, and "MyFitnessPal". Both of them use the GPS for some sort of logging.
Anyway, this morning I installed "AppOps" from the App Store. It's the one by Sylvain Galand, and the package is fr.slvn.appops. It doesn't need root, apparently. I used that to disable location access from both UP and MyFitnessPal. Since then, my GPS has been working fine again.
I think there's something broken under the LocationManager implementation in this version of Cyanogen. Seems like some apps are able to break it somehow. The other thread about this subject points fingers at Dragon Dictate, too. Whatever it is, apps shouldn't be able to wedge a system service like this.

I honestly hope that they at the very least acknowledge that this issue exists. GPS Navigation is a primary use for mobile. I haven't installed anything that would break location. All I Have is Waze and Google.
Hello there,
I am wondering how to disable system updates in the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 8 (IN2017)? I also have a OnePlus 8 (IN2015) - factory unlocked version and disabled system updates by freezing "System Update 2.2.3..." using Titanium Backup. However, I don't see this app in the IN2017 variant.
I prefer not to update my phone if it ain't broken
Thanks.
You don't want to block OTA. Critical 5G updates and security patches are included.

Your concern about 5G updates is understandable. I just want to disable OTA updates (and prevent accidental or forced updates) until I am ready. Also - I prefer not to update until I run into issues.
Considering the calling issue some (many?) are having on T-Mobile, disabling updates isn't a bad idea if you haven't already updated to the current version. [emoji2357]

You really dont need to freeze anything. Go to Developer Settings and disable automatic updates. That's it. Phone will not update unless you give it the Ok. If you get an update notice on the phone just hide it.

Hi, I've got a OnePlus 7T, and past version 10.0.13 I've had numerous issues. I've tried blocking updates in the developer settings, but it still updated. I need to find another way to block updates on either global or T-Mobile firmware.
I'm in the same problem, someone can help?
I just posted my findings https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/t-mobile-op7t-11-0-1-2-update.1433526/page-2#post-23345016
What I did to avoid upgrades after downgrading again and it seems to work: https://community.t-mobile.com/android-9/forced-updates-why-13470?postid=119106#post119106
Unplug and set battery saver on
Google Play Store set to not auto update apps
I didn't plug in my phone until 4am, so the battery saver prevented an upgrade. I have changed additional settings since plugging it in, and I think it will work because the notification says "System update paused To continue, connect to Wi-Fi":
No sim card
Wi-Fi network set to metered
Removed all permissions I could for Google Play services app
Turning off Unrestricted data usage and turning on Disabled Wi-Fi and Disabled data usage for the Google Play services app (if you have a sim card with data, you may need to turn off Background data)
Not allowing Google Play services app to modify system settings
---- wrong thread ----
It seems the "Battery Saver" setting with metered connection will stop the system update.
I tried tinkering with the other settings mentioned like removing permissions from Google play services (as suggested above), but those alone did not work. Only "Battery Saver" and metered connection (WIFI) seem to work at the moment. However, I did notice Battery Saver gets turned off when the phone is plugged in, so if you're connected to the internet, then it might force the update unless you're connected to metered wifi.
I'm currently testing another approach, which I'll share below.
1. Launch terminal app like Terminal Emulator (from Play store).
2. type 'su', then enter
3. type 'pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity', then enter
4. The system update tab is gone
I'll leave my phone charged overnight with WIFI and see if the phone force updates after applying above.
UPDATE: Seems disabling updates did not work.

Thanks, I will see if this will stop playstore prompt of an system update.
I have used 'su -c pm disable com.oneplus.opbackup' for almost a year now but started getting these new prompts from playstore just a few weeks ago
I can confirm it didn't work.

Same here. I froze the System Updater app and I'm still getting these update notification nag from Google Play Services. We Mex to find a way to disable these. I wonder if a modded Google Play Store would already have these disabled.

Exactly, A11 is a wreck on OP8. Anyone have any success since or should we assume people on the T-Mobile variant must flash global to keep their battery life?
The only thing that is working for me is freezing google play store + google play services.
I unfreeze google play store when I need to install apps or update apps.
I pressed restart at that prompt and the whole FKKN PHONE UPDATED TO OXYGEN 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the FGOK WHY!?!?!?!?
Can you not get rid of these prompts!?

Only way to stop system updates automatically (the toggle in Dev settings doesn't do anything lol) is to freeze/disable Google Play Services.
You can MSM back to OOS10 and then freeze that app if you like. Can cause issues though. A lot of things rely on GPS.

pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
Any feedback on this?
I'm gonna try this and see what it does.
May as well do all three commands
su pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
su -c pm disable com.oneplus.opbackup
su pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
....edit
jesus f#k...OOS11 is a catastrophe, can't even watch a video without mx player crashing.
I..UGH. Keyboard can't justify a good enough rant.
Back on 10.
I have a full template step by step divided in folder structured, step 1 - 10 to do this so its cake doing it.
Included a whole bunch of services to disabled in addition to the one in developer options.
I dont have high hopes but let see.
su -c pm disable com.oneplus.opbackup
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
