Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?

You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
I've never had Facebook eat this much of my battery before, but whenever its background services (MediaUpload service I think is the name), my battery drains at least 1% per minute.
I've tried force closing every time I quit the app, I've tried getting rid of its background data completely. I've tried disabling notifications. I don't sync at all. But the damn app still pops up every now and then and eats my battery while it does NOTHING.
This is an issue that I've found on the Nexus S. I've had a Galaxy S and Optimus One before and I've never encountered such an issue. I'm on Air Kernel 4.2 and AOKP milestone 5, but this problem also occurred on other ROMs and kernels.
Does anyone else have a similar issue and is there a way to fix it (outside of deleting Facebook or freezing it)?

yea, it started after a recent update. i had to uninstall it from my nexus s and galaxy nexus because it was annoying the heck out of me. i wasnt using it but it was still eating 8-12% of my battery.
Uninstall it and wait for the next update maybe then it doesnt use so much battery anymore.

The Facebook app for android is worthless. Much better to just use the browser instead.
I wonder why they still haven't managed to create a decent app.
I have seen this reported often recently and not sure of the cause. My battery life has not been effected at all by the newer versions.
Maybe its something to do with roms that include the hack to sync fb. The new apps changed something related to that.
This usage is from today. Was outside with screen on full brightness ( extremely sunny and crisp today in NY) and used GPS with fb. When I dont use the app doesnt use any battery. No waking the device etc aokp m5 with trinity
Hello android geniuses,
I have a weird problem with my infuse.
Earlier today I installed a new launcher app..... i was at 50 or 60 % battery.
Suddenly the launcher froze..... and when it woke back up 2 minutes later....my battery was down to 5% ...WTF
Afterwards...every time i plugged the USB in to charge it, it froze and rebooted.... but it DOES charge.
When I turn it on it boots perfectly fine....but it has to be unplugged.
If it is plugged in and I turn it on to boot....it reboots and goes back to the charging screen....
So weird.....
PS> The launcher (ligning launcher) has been uninstalled and my old launcher activated and running perfectly.
Thanks for any help
Any idea?
Edit .... I have used a battery calibration program to erase batrrystats.bin
Well, this issue has been address a couple times the last few weeks. Its a very weird situation that seems to be happening lately. So far i havent find a way to fix it, and to me this is a hardware issue. Something similar to what happens sometimes to certain iphones also. The solder contacts from certain ics(integraded circuits) will breakdown. And the phone will not work as it should because of that. If i find something, ill let you know...
Flash the device back to stock & perform a factory data reset.
I had this on 4.4.2 but 4.4.3 fixed it. I'm on 4.4.4 now and have been since it came out, but all of a sudden last week, mm-qcamera-daemon came back and I'm not alone.
With L just around the corner, I doubt there will be any fix for this from Google, so what's the best way of finding out which app is keeping this service alive?
P.S. I have neither Skype, Instagram, nor Snapchat installed - and never have done - so it's not them.
Did you have a camera app running in the background? ie. minimized it without swiping it away.
Nah, nothing like that. I'll even get it when I boot my phone, open no apps at all, and charge to 100% before unplugging from the charger - this action seems to be the cause of the daemon, like some of the other users on that issue report are saying. Never mind, I guess I'll just wait it out until L.
I have never had this problem on my nexus 5 until today (I bought the Nexus 5 on day one)!
This process is draining all my battery!!
The only app I installed in the past week is "Google Opinion Rewards" which was installed 6 hours ago.
Please help if you find a solution
UPDATE 1: I just noticed, via CPU-Z, that all 4 cores are continuously active at high frequency and the phone is overheating
UPDATE 2: Problem is still there even after removing "Google Opinion Rewards"
Just reflash the stock firmware and see if it continues.
Best thing to do with any issue that a solution can't be found for easily. ?

the camera daemon is supposed to appear. its not supposed to stay around, draining battery. especially at 100%, you will see it, as the phone uses it a little bit, and you havent used the phone at all. it will show up. the question is, if you dont use the camera at all, and it appears in your battery stats, after a full cycle of use, how much battery does it take? chances are that by the end of your battery cycle, it wont even be in your battery stats.

I actually fixed it now by flashing the system image and restoring all my apps via Titanium Backup, but I swear I'd never even open Camera for it to occur, and I don't have any third party camera apps. It would constantly be active without opening any camera apps at all.
edit- also Google have restated that they're looking into this bug and have marked it urgent, so anyone else getting it - don't panic too much, it's most likely not a problem you've caused.
I suspect the Hangouts/Hangouts dialer. I updated the app few days ago (no other installs), today was the first time that I got this issue (got my Nexus in February). Also first time since updating I used the camera, followed by battery drain/ daemon/ "failed to connect camera" etc.
I think its because of android wear
With android wear u can access the camera, hence u will be seeing the camera drain for sure. i unpaired my watch for few days and i didnt have this problem till now
I had this problema today morning, my android version is 4.4.4, In my case I used yesterday the camera to attach a photo inside the facebook messenger, maybe this buggy app make this mess in my case.
I reboot and waiting for the results
Same here
Everything was ok from 4.4.2 till 4.4.4. But suddenly week ago discovered mm-qcamera-daemon issue, tried many things without success. I am using phone in safe mode (facepalm).
Waiting official Android L or fix from google.
I got the same issue now!
Started today, what the hell?
Some apps will keep the camera wakelocks going. Freeze anything that can possibly use the camera and see what happens.
Or just clean flash stock, and see if its OK. If so... Install a handful of apps per day.... Then if it goes nuts you know it's an app you've just installed.

I think i had this fixed. Ihave a rooted nexus 5 stock rom. Installed greenify, pirchased the donate version and had the camera app greenified. No more mm-qcamera-daemon showing up on my battery stats. No more "cannot connect to camera" issues. (So far it's been 2days without it.
camera block app
i see this issue occurs when i use skype or any camera related app in my grand 2 4.4.2 / only way i keep the issue at bay is use camera block app.. which i keep it turned on when i am not really using the camera.
this seem to keep this daemon under control and not drain my battery .
Has anyone experienced random system ui force close after rooting? All I did was install adaway and used the chainfire workaround to get it working. It continuously force closes even after reboots. The only way to get out of it is to plug the phone in to a charger...weird I know.
I had the exact same thing happen. In my case it was MalwareBytes that was causing it. I plugged into the charger, got the homescreen and noticed malwarebytes crashed too, and wouldnt open. Uninstalled it, rebooted and no more System UI crash errors.
I had that issue come up while I was using Messenger. I have unlocked and rooted my phone. No other changes. I did use Titanium Backup to import an xml of my previous text messages. (Added later: the battery was probably close to 15% or less when this occurred.)
Have you tried uninstalling ad-away? I've done the exact same steps you describe with no issue.
Yes i have faced the same problem, i think it happens when the battery is low. Don't know if its root or EX kernel!
Had the same UI issue this morning. When I plugged the charger in, the UI force close issue immediately stopped. The battery was at 7% and when I unplugged it at 44% the issue is still gone.
I believe as well that Adaway is causing the issue. Before installing Adaway, the error did not appear. I reflashed the factory images and obviously the error went away.
A temporary solution suggested @blk_jack is to turn on power saver @ 15% auto
The issue was reported to Google. Everyone should star it so it gets more attention.
I thought I was alone, it happened shortly after I froze Pixel Launcher with Titanium Backup. I'm glad to know it wasn't the case and charging the phone resolved the issue.
