Wakelock issues | otg_default, usb, usbpd0, qcom-step-chg - Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,
I thought that I was the only one with such an issue but by now I see more and more people in the forums who are hit by this same problem. I created this thread to be a discussion for all things connected to this problem - when and how it happens, what you have tried, diagnosed, seen from other places, how you have solved it if you have - everything.
How to spot if you have this issue:
- If your battery drain is high, especially in standby
- If your dmesg and logcat are getting spammed with "USB host device discovered" and then instantly dereferenced, then again and again
- If the wakelocks otg_default, qcom-step-chg, usbpd0 and usb are eating at your battery (spot them using BetterBatteryStats or something like Smartpack Kernel Manager)
Here is what I have tried to solve this problem:
Wipe data/factory reset
Full wipe from TWRP - system, vendor, data, cache, internal storage
Change kernels
Flash stock fastboot ROM and start over
Compiling a special kernel with all USB Host functions turned off (I don't use them anyway), deleting /vendor/etc/permissions/android.system.usb.host and removing usb_otg from fstab
Nothing worked. Issue is still here.
I think it's a hardware issue and most likely at least partly connected to the bad fast charging issue. I will keep this thread updated with our findings.

^ Take note here, USB OTG only makes sense to be in host mode NOT device mode. I tried disabling USB host fully and now I get OTG in DEVICE mode. That means that the phone is trying to be the USB device and not the phone! Lol. : (

I also have the issue
I don't know if it began after I flashed force fast charge magisk module.
Flashed OD kernel and issue was gone initially.....but when charging, fastcharge wasn't working....so again flashed the module and fastcharge came back but this no deep sleep issue came back again
Don't know what to do........
And, flashing back stock boot.img also didn't solve......

My yesterday's BBS readings........

Thanks for your input. Did it begin recently? Backup your data and try wiping and getting latest fastboot ROM, if you want to try as well... If you get same readings in a while after it's definitely a hardware issue.

I was running miui 11.0.6 stable with magisk for long before i moved to xiaomi.eu 11.0.8, 2 weeks back. i think this to be the beginning of all issues.
Then fast charging became unstable so flashed lawrun kernel and fastcharging was back........
Today flashed latest havoc 3.6...... will see. But fastcharging not stable.......
Using poco fastcharger, charging current averages about 1500mA occassionally boosts to 2700mA.
But using regular 5v 2A chargers, averages about 1800mA to 1900mA constantly!

There is a link explaining the basics of wakelocks....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/kernel-wakelocks-t1462020/amp/
Otg_default is a kernel wakelock...... So, it is triggered by the kernel right? Then its a kernel issue?

I had the issue before that too. It doesn't appear to be connected to any kernel or ROM but it does appear to be connected in some way to temperature and fast charging. It seems to occur less in dry hot weather and after it manages to fast charge properly. It kinda messes with charging and I think it's partly to blame for the ever-present slow charging issue, regardless of kernel fixes.

The fact that it is a kernel wakelock doesn't mean it comes from the kernel. The wakelock is a response to something occurring, it won't come up by itself just like that.
The fact that the wakelock occurs randomly and persits through kernel changes and full wipes shows that something wonky is happening in hardware.
If it was a kernel issue it would be fixed by going back to stock kernel... But it doesn't get fixed. It can't be ROM, it can't be kernel, what can it be then..? Only firmware or hardware.

fastcharge works fine when phone is charging while switched off....... easily manages to reach 90% in about 90 minutes......
but, when switched on, over 2hrs........ idk whats wrong.....

Mine fast charges fine now that the weather is hotter and the issue comes us rarely. Otherwise, during winter time and until recently I've had the same issue as you.
Also, have you tested how the phone responds to wipes etc.? I've found that a full wipe really helped with overall speed and smoothness.

Yes.......
Now, i have downgraded to last pie build.
Did a clean recovery flash of miui 11.0.5 pie full recovery rom from twrp...... Didnt root and twrp is replaced with mi recovery......decided to leave it as it is and now.....Phone SLEEPS normally - deep sleep is back. Checked with system battery stats.
Quick charge seems broken still......when connected to poco charger, it shows quick charging initially but then after sometime quick charge disappears.
But, regular 5v 2A charges charges faster

Okay, if the problem is back or even if it isn't, please report back here. Unfortunately, not many users see or post in Discussion threads... But still it's good to have that information out here.

After the pie build, tried latest global fastboot rom 11.0.8, just to check and the always awake issue was present. So it seems to be an issue with the rom.
Reverted back to miui 11.0.5 pie build and sleep issue is gone
Anyone one facing similar issue, flash 11.0.5.

All the latest custom roms based on 11.0.8 files (if at all) seem to have this always awake issue in some, if not all pocophones......

Hmm... 11.0.5 is Russian locality, yes? Global versions are 11.0.6 and 11.0.8? I'm asking because I use Xiaomi.eu. I'll try myself and see if that solves it but I think the issue comes up anyway.

Strange because nothing should have changed from that point in the USB subsection. I will give it a try anyway, even though I want to use international or EU ROM.

Do share your experience.....

Hey guys I also had this problem earlier and here's what I found.
1. The phone doesn't fastcharge as it is protecting the battery
2. This is a hardware problem- the phone's Battery
3. What causes it- overclocked kernels (makes the battery temperature higher especially when the ambient temperature is already really hot and humid) and sometimes it's just the Battery itself which has worn out
What I did:
1. Flash stock recovery- Fastcharge doesn't work unless you reboot the phone while plugged in
2. The regular 5v/2A charger works well
3. I left it as it is but as time passes, within a few weeks the back of my phone felt weird to hold. So I took it to the service center and when they opened up the phone, the battery had some bumps on it. They tested again with the default charger and saw that the battery itself was rejecting the quick charge. The only way was to replaced the battery. Once the battery was replaced, Fast charge was working again and the Wakelocks like otg_default never came back. Device was working normally again.
But this happened in my case. You should check for any physical signs on your device because the battery usually takes some time to show the bumps.

Having same issue guys
https://prnt.sc/t7b8fr
https://prnt.sc/t7b8m0
It started last week when I updated MIUI to 11.0.8.0
I tried fastboot ROM flash, changed ROMs. Still no good.
I will give it a try by flashing miui rom from recovery as @aneesathil mentioned. If not I'll get battery replaced.

After the few minutes it took to unlock the bootloader I have been using crDroid almost non-stop for the last ~9 months. Only (minor) issue is that the charge level would fall by 1-3% within 1-2 minutes after charging. Blocked a bunch of wakelocks like qcom-step-chg etc but to no effect. I used Reloaded OS for a short while and the issue persisted. So maybe its something to do with the hardware.

heavy battery drain and mobile heating up since last evening

Hi,
I was running MIUIXperience V5 and everything was fine till got a random reboot last evening and after that, battery started draining very fast doing nothing 20-25% in an hour. Mobile is heating up a lot now back side near camera and charging also became very slow (30-40% in 4 hours). Tried full wipe and reinstalling the ROM but still the same issue, wiped battery stats as well.
I was getting 25-35 hrs before this so doesn't look like a fault in battery. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Seems a hardware issue to me. Maybe try to swamp battery's and see if the current one you're using is busted.

Thanks for your help but I still doubt the battery as when charging in powered off, it charge well & quickly as before
Can you try another ROM? If it would work ok with another ROM that would put the hardware suspicion aside. If it still keeps the same with a different ROM, then it's most definitively a hardware issue.

I have tried another ROM and same ROM with clean install, they seem good as before the issue but as soon as I enable root permissions, battery started to drain fast again (35% in an hour)
got a similar issue with mine, usually my battery stills 20hrs, and that's ok for my usage, I'm running brainmaster cm9, but same with CDA 2.0.0, randomly the phone, in some case after a reboot or disconnecting power cable, start to drain battery and become hot, in battery usage stats AndroidOS is the main issue and android.process.acore the resource that never sleep,
I think this can came from a bad deep idle management on some rom-kernels combo or ics 4.0.4 issue, but I nobody to say this...

I tried different MIUI Roms but issue remained same. Then I installed Androxide after full wipe and now seems to be working fine (72% after 7hrs). Still can't figure out what is the issue that different variants of MIUI Roms after clean install and battery starts to discharge heavily.
Tried going back to MIUI but probelm came again and after restoring to Androxide, again working fine

I suggest to install an app like Quick System Info anche see id there is a process running high on CPU usage: there you can see its log and try to understand what's happening...
BTW, I started to have some massive drain with the last CM9 nightlies: it was the Phone app that sucked all the juice in a few hours.
I wiped & reflashed dozen of times, checking if the drain was caused by some app, until I used Quick System Info and saw from the logs that the problem was the new 2g/3g toggle widget: I had set it to "3g preferred" but this caused a loop. Setting it to "2g only"/"3g only" fixed the issue.
First, MIUI is a Chinese ROM.
Second, Chinese things are always known for bad quality.
So MIUI is bad
Really, dude? Maybe you should take the tin foil hat off.

[Help] Charging Problem

Hi I have now had my OPO for one year now. 3 months ago however I ruined my display due to water going in the phone, rest of phone was working fine. I brought in a new display and fixed it just yesterday. Phone's fine however I've run into one problem.
Phone charges really slowly. 5 hours for a full charge. It wasn't like that before. It used to take 5 hours only if I was using a 1A charger. But now even with OPO charger and a Sony 1.5A charger it takes the same. Previously it only took 60-90 minutes with the OPO charger.
I used the OPO Charging Current app and I'm only getting on average 300 mA while charging. Shouldn't I be getting around 2000?
help needed
Edit: I forgot to add, I was in CyanideL ROM before, thought it was a software issue, and instaleld BlissPop latest, but same on both
Guys help?
Bump for help :/

Same problem with me in each and every ROM. Never found any workarounds. So I just flashed AK kernel and increased AC Charging current to 2100mA using Synapse. Now it works alright but whenever I plug into charging I must check what current I am getting because sometimes even if I have increased it to 2100 it charges with 50-100mA. Simply reconnecting the chrger does the trick though. Also IF you dont prefer AK Kernel, latest Resurrected Kernel also has the feature, but you'll have to increase the currently manually at each boot using Terminal.

Custom ROM battery drain

Hello!
Does any of you have an idea why do I have a huge battery drain on custom roms?
I have tried nearly all of them (all based on OpenKirin), and no matter what I do I cannot get more then 1,5 - 2 hours of SOT, and I have to charge my phone daily. With EMUI I only charged my phone in every 2 days, with 3-4 hours of SOT.
Here's what I've tried:
- Installed L Speed, set it to Battery profile
- Installed HEBF instead of L Speed, set it to medium battery saving
- Installed Kernel Adiutor, set the CPU governor to Blue_active or Darkness, set I/O scheduler to zen or bfq (with whitePug kernel)
- Installed Greenify, set all apps that I don't want to keep running to it
- Installed Titanium Backup, I froze some system apps I don't need
- I checked WakeLock Detector, but I didn't find anything bad, my phone was 3% awake, the rest in deep sleep
- I installed BetterBattery Stats, no result
Still in 7 hours overnight from 100% my battery drained to 93%. In 9 hours with minimal usage and approx. 10 minutes SOT I'm at 82%.
I couldn't find solution to this, this is the case in ALL roms...
Can anybody help?

Thats is realy bad and big battery drain. If you goes now back to emui, battery life is the same like last time on emui? I mean if isn't something corrupted in phone after flashing custom roms
edit: I think you try to do factory reset
edit1: You always use only one optimizer? Becasue if u use this can make some errors between two optimizers if work two together
edit2: You try just flash custom rom without any change in setting and any optimizer and, battery drain is still huge?

I have used LSpeed + Kernel Adiutor OR HEBF + Kernel Adiutor OR Lspeed only OR HEBF only. I didn't mix them. I tried with and without Greenify as well. I've already went back EMUI once for the same reason, battery life is great there, no issues.
Have you tried going back to the EMUI and check if everything is fine? It could even be your battery that is damaged because of over heat or using 3rd party charger.
Rommco05 said:
So good message is phone isn't broken. You always download latest version of custom rom? Try just once clean installation, wait what is your model of phone FRD...?

FRD-L09
Wifi always nearly full (with EMUI it's always full), network signal nearly always full.
I've tried clean install many time. Currently I'm on OwnROM. I've flashed the WhitePug kernel in the morning after the 7% drain with stock kernel.

As I mentioned above your comment, on EMUI everything is good.
On custom roms the phone isn't overheating, and I use stock charger.

Thanks! I've just flashed OwnROM again with Dalvik, Cache, Data and System wipe. I flashed gapps and I installed nothing else. I charge my phone to 100% and I let it be on the desk till the afternoon. We'll see. If it's good, maybe some installed app causes the issue.
Any of you use Viber? I have Messenger, Telegram and Viber all installed and runnin. They don't show up in the battery consumers though... On EMUI I have no issues with them.

Yes can be related with this apps on custom roms, leave after here results

Sure thing! Another question, is that normal that on Custom roms it takes much LESS time to charge the phone to 100%? It takes longer on EMUI, especially after 80% and up.
Well, nothing changed really...
2 hours on battery with 3 min screen on time 2% drop. That's 1% / hour, just as last night.

Battery Drain

Hello,
The battery life of my Honor 6X used to last around +48hours with more than 5h screen on time, and consumes between 3-5% overnight.
However, recently the battery is not doing so well even though there is no heavy usage (on screen time around 1h30), overnight the phone consumes between 12-20% with WiFi and Data off...
Is there anything I can do to identify the issue? anyone else having the same issues?
Model number BLN-L21
Build BLN-L21C432B367
Android 7
Hi, this should be in Q&A section so ask a mod to move the thread when you'll have time.
Battery is a strong point of this phone, and reading what you wrote perfectly matches with my actual phone stats (i refer to 48h lasting, 5h SoT...) so i'll begin to ask ya some things to help you identify the issue, since that this strange and sudden change from a moment to another looks bizarre:
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update?
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using?
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way)
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not?
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...)
I know where you are coming from, I have had the same issue after the EMUI 5 update, I have to reset all settings in back up and reset options to get to the 2 day standby time every 2 weeks

I've the BLN-L21C185 as well, apparently there's a bug in the firmware which Huawei hasnt fixed yet and no one on the forum knows how to fix the issue so you are on your own

Hey RedSkull23, MTjake
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update? No
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using? Yes, I didn't make any changes to the list since the problem occurred
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way) While charging, I only use the phone to check notifications, I don't really use it
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not? Yes, I let it reach 100% and I don't keep it charging overnight, I did notice that once it reach 95% it takes much longer to reach 100%
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...) Not really

Oh damn, but the thing is, after the EMUI 5 update the standby lasted 2 day without changing anything, but my phone had 2 security updates since the EMUI 5, the first one might caused the problem, not sure though
Like for me it's like I reset the phone use it for 7 8 days the battery life is phenomenal, I use my phone for media consumption (watching videos, YouTube, iflix and stuff) and I get a good 11 hours of screen on time with 25 per cent battery remaining, then I don't know what happens and the stand by time drops to 13 hours screen on time goes down to 3 or 4 hours, then it's back to resetting the settings and it's good for a few days vice versa and this happened after the EMUI 5 update, the performance is also choppy on this version, don't know what to do have tried everything on battery optimization here but no use :/
The chances that it could be a bug increases after your answer; why don't you ask directly to Huawei/Honor if they're aware of this?
I tried but the Huawei officials in Pakistan have the same response to whatever you ask them :we are working on the updates stay tuned -_-

Other regions get bug fixes all the time and the only thing I've gotten is security updates :/

Doesn't work , have tried all of the stuff in the post
I am having the same issue. Battery life was very good but in last couple of weeks has gone to 3-4 hours without any great use.
Hi guys, sorry to post here after all this time, I had kind of the same problem lately but worst.
My battery wouldn't last more than half a day, with almost no screen on time ... I check battery stats, everything, doesn't look like something has changed except WiFi seems to be on all the time, when in fact it is disabled. I used to have intelligent WiFi on, but even when it's off, looks like my phone is searching for WiFi all day long.
I have done nothing, not installed a new app, no change on optimization, no nothing.
Also no root, never unlocked bootloader. Did you fix your problem and how ?
I'm in the same boat with you.

My phone won't fast charge [8.1.0][TA-1046] - Security Patch Level: 1 May 2018

Hello fellas, I bought this phone around 3 days ago. But my phone won't use quick charge/ fast charge for some reason? It's always on "charging", it doesn't even alternate with "quick charging"
I'm on 8.1(Security patch: 1 May 2018). Is the default charger not capable of it? I feel like I'm missing something here, I found the following thread but I'm not sure if my problem is similar but I'm hoping people on this OS version can give me any insights?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/quick-charging-issues-t3791414
Or should I just upgrade to Android P to test? But I don't really want to enter the preview version just because of this problem
There is a fast chraging but when the device is asleep and will come back to normal charging when u start using the phone,,, nokia uses this method to solve the heating issue or to keep the phone cool while using it. This feature comes with may security update.

Are you sure this is the issue? I mean there should be some way to check and verify if your charger is working as intended.
Just charge your phone from 0 to 100% and check how long it takes. If below two hours then it's okay. I have the same issue, the phone shows "charging quickly" only when left alone for some time. Just after I bought this Nokia I had problem with charging and using the phone simultaneously. It was turning the quick charge on and off like mad while popping errors that "turning off quick charge because phone is too hot". Now they fixed it so it doesn't quick charge when used.

Fam I just put my phone on charging, I just peeked to take a look because my phone was taking too long to charge.
This is a known bug with Oreo 8.1 May Release. It's affecting the Pixel as well and Google are working on it. As of next release it *should* be working again. It was in an effort to stop the device overheating but it's had more impact than expected. I believe it should only come on if you're playing a game etc, but it's coming on constantly.

Quite frankly I would be relieved if it's a software issue, I also noticed it flickering from charging rapidly to charging right as I put it on charge. Seems like my problem is same as the other owners of this device, and they mentioned the same issue you did. I guess I'll wait for next update then.
Also, it is quite frustrating to see my mobile charging for over two hours and it has barely gone from 29% to 80%.

I can confirm that the June patch has not fixed the issue. My charging cable is designed to glow Red whilst charging normally, and Blue if Qualcom Fast Charge is in use. If i leave the phone locked for 2 minutes it goes blue. Unlocking the phone, it stays blue, but the moment I open any application it goes to red

That is slightly different to mine. If there are no applications running in the background, and I lock my phone, it fast charges (Confirmed via my charger light) but of course goes back to normal charging the moment an application is opened on the phone.

Update size "87.4 MB"? strange... i have size "1267.3 MB" on TA-1046 and of course i updating from previous "8.1 may"...
EDIT: if anyone have problem after upgrade with showing overlay window saying "Power Saver has stopped", this is because of June update downgrade used database version, fix it using:
Code:
adb shell pm clear com.evenwell.powersaving.g3
(tips from: http://forum.mobilmania.cz/viewtopic.php?p=11955929#p11955929)
Update. I have emailed Nokia Support, with links to numerous forums in relation to this issue (including this thread). My understanding now is that it is not an issue with Oreo 8.1 but was a change that was backed into the May update, as there were complaints that the phone was overheating whilst being used. Instead of Nokia simply setting up a thermal safety net, they disabled Fast Charge completely. I have 100% confirmed that if the phone is not in use (not even streaming Spotify to Bluetooth in card for example) that it will go to Fast Charge and charge normally. As soon as you unlock the phone or turn on the screen, it will change back to normal charge.
There are 3 levels of charge. 1amp, 2.1 amp and 3.1amp. The phone will drop to 2.1 amp whilst in use, and down to 1amp if the phone gets too hot (depending on the charger in use).
At this time there is no fix, but I will continue to update you all once Nokia get back to me. There are also MANY threads about this on the official Nokia forums as well. Having the "option" under Battery would be ideal. For those noticing it is heating up, they can turn on "Fast Charge only on Device Idle", whilst the rest of us can use Qualcomm Fast Charge 3.0 as it was DESIGNED to be used.

I have emailed Nokia again stating that this is an ongoing issue affecting over 100 people so far on their forums, and that they need to get a fix going ASAP.
I have the same issue as well.

The moment screen is turned on, it falls back to normal charging, I realized that by experimenting myself. And from now on, I just make sure that the screen is turned off while charging, and my phone gets to 100% in around 2 hours.
Even i observed that sometimes on the same charging point with same charger I get charging written on lock screen and sometimes it's charging rapidly. Not sure if this is because of the flow the electricity on that point or it is something else.
Just got the phone model ta-1055 yesterday Brand New. It did update to July patch instantly.
Fast Charging isn't working, it takes 3/4 hours charging from 10%. I barely saw "Rapid Charging" for a second few times trying different cables/chargers combinations.
Should I return it?
Ive got the exact same issue. Same android version and security patch.

I enrolled on Android P and after upgrading the Fast Charge is working. These are my measurements using the cable and charger provided with the phone:
After 15 minutes charge from 0% to 26% battery
After 30 minutes charge from 0% to 48% battery
After 60 minutes charge from 0% to 77% battery
After 90 minutes charge from 0% to 94% battery
After 112 minutes charge finally 100% battery
During charging the phone's always showing "Charging rapidly" on the lock screen.
I did downgrade to Oreo 1st of April patch and I will soon test it again before applying the latest Oreo patch updates.
P.S. I did realize that with 1st April Oreo patch the fingerprint navigation is present, it wasn't present with both the latest Oreo patch and the Android P beta.
