Norton internet security, can at times use more than an hour and a half after 12 hours of up time. Other times, it's just fine. Using GSam, I have yet to find the correlation with anything else. In Norton forums, they've been telling me it's probably some other app which is causing it to scan or the like.
Any ideas?

Big big thread just below yours:

I was running WMLongLife for a couple of weeks when I first got my HD2. It wasn't quite working for me, though, but stuck with it for the sake of my battery life. I was getting 24-36 hours use out of the phone with it installed, so I was reasonably happy.
However, when I uninstalled it, I found I was able to get about 60 hours. I'm not saying this was entirely due to removing WMLongLife, and I admit that usage patterns may have changed (stopped having to show the thing off to everyone) which may have contributed.
How do I know my phone doesn't have an NSA virus? Let me restate that. How do I tell if my phone has an NSA virus?
I use BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, Android Task Manager, & Titanium Backup Pro.
Sometimes my phone stays awake all day, for no apparent reason. Other times it stays in deep sleep all day. Yes, I often do not use the phone for hours at a time. Sometimes I determine, using the apps above, that a particular app is keeping it awake. Often I freeze that app. I have a lot of apps frozen, including Clock and Calendar. I usually turn wifi off when I am not using it. If I restart it in the morning, which I don't do very often, it is less likely to be awake all day for no apparent reason.
The phone does not exhibit any strange or unusual behavior. I do not use any virus checker. I do not download apps except from Play Store, and then not very often. I am not especially keen to install a virus scanner or whatever, without a good reason or a strong recommendation.
Yes, it is rooted, and I have flashed it, 6-12 months ago.
Anyone have any comments, advice, or input? Thanks!
Phone info: ATT SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 Galaxy SII Skyrocket, Android 4.1.2, baseband I727UCMC1, kernel 3.0.31-844945 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 20:26:24 KST 2013, build JZO54K.I727UCMC1
Ever since the 5.1 OTA (Or Google Services 7.0.99, I'm not sure), I've been experiencing bad battery life.
I downloaded Better Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector to try to find the culprit and this is what I've found.
- Connected to my wifi at home my Nexus 5 sleeps just fine.
- At work (wifi) I'm having a lot of wlan_rx and wlan_wd wakelocks and high awaken times due to this.
- When on mobile data it all gets worse: I'm getting hundreds of instances of RILJ wakelock in a matter of minutes, and sometimes Gmail often appears first on the list with high wakelock counts and times. Google+ and Keep also make frequent appearances I'm Wakelock Detector
- BBS ALWAYS shows bam_dmux_wakelock as the main culprit and sometimes sensor_ind (on mobile data), but I don't know what to make of that, since WD shows other things (RILJ etc).
Regarding RILJ: almost everything I've found online says that it has something to do with network location and that turning off location history removes it, but I rarely have location services on (GPS or network location) and location history is off anyway. I've tried disabled NetworkLocationService and every other service regarding location using disable service to no avail. It doesn't seem to happen when the phone is in 2G only.
Gmail frequently shows up in WD with high counts and times, I've seen Keep and Google+ in there too, first on lists. I've disabled them both for now.
In the battery stats the activity bars doesn't seem to be all that different from the screen on bars, but both WD and BBS show high awake times (sometimes as high as +20%). This is when on mobile data or connected to the wifi at work (wifi at home is just fine).
I tried downgrading to 5.0.1 (there now), installing Google Services 7.3.29, disabling a bunch of services, but nothing helps.
Google Services shows up as using more energy than anything else, sometimes even more than the screen, but only when mobile data is enable, it doesn't use energy when on wifi. There's no high data traffic as some people is experiencing with 7.X versions. The wlan wakelocks are awful at work though. So there are like several, independent problems.
I'd appreciate any insight on this matter. I don't seem to be the only one experiencing this.
I'm leaving a few screen shots. I'll post BBS screenshot by the end of the day.
Did you solve this? Nobody seems to know what really is RILJ.. If I restrict it to "7200" (2 hours) at Amplify it's safe to receive calls/sms ???

Easy way to find out is to test it. Restrict and then phone/text yourself from another phone. Test periodically until you're comfortable with the results.
I've having troubles with this from some months ago now. It dissapeared at some time, but it's back again.
Anyway, in my case, the problem happen when i'm connected to a WIFI network, with mobile data activated. If I deactivate it, everything is just fine. Don't really know what is causing this, but at least I discovered my problem.
Hope this help someone else.
Cheers
I hard reset my phone a few weeks ago. At some point since then I started getting full screen ads for Wish at various points through the day. It would be there when I turned the screen on two or three times a day. I changed some Bluetooth Auto Connect settings and got rid of that, but instead about twice a day when I turn the screen on the internet browser has opened with a new tab showing an article or advert I didn't ask for. I was using Samsung Mobile so I uninstalled it and switched to the stock Chrome, then I disabled it and tried Firefox. I've tried pop up blockers. I've scanned with the stock virus scanner (Avast) as well as AVG and MalwareBytes. They found nothing. The only thing that stops these pop ups is disabling Chrome and not having any other web browsers installed! Clearly that's not the best solution. I don't want to reset my phone again so soon. What else can I try?
Huawei P10, unrooted, Android 9, EMUI 9.1.0

You can try packet scanning with tools like wireshark on your PC. You will see every packet connection. You can identity the source of the problem with that.

Intriguing. I've had a quick look at the literature, it's going to take some time to figure out how to do that. Would I need to be connected to Wireshark when the problem occurs?
@TransformsIntoAGuitar
Have you tried disabling JavaScript to see if the ads still appear?
I recently started using FOSS Browser from F-Droid (downloaded via F-Droid application), and have not had any problems with it. Maybe give it a shot?

It's been nearly 24 hours and no pop ups! I'd normally expect at least 2 in that time. Thank you, it seems to have worked.
Glad that it worked for you, @TransformsIntoAGuitar!

Actually, it didn't. As of yesterday the pop ups resumed and at slightly higher frequency.
I'm sorry that the pop-ups have returned, @TransformsIntoAGuitar. I hope you find out what/why is causing the pop-ups.
Many times, when I first connect to WiFi, my phone freezes for probably 15-20 seconds, and I can't do anything.
How can I monitor what's doing this? There doesn't seem to be an any way via an app to see what's using the CPUs like you can with task manager in Windows(?), so what about seeing in real time any network traffic? Maybe an app is checking for updates or something. I can only find apps that give recent history (a few seconds behind) of that, not in real time, and with so many apps doing something it's hard to figure out which is the culprit. Though it might be difficult to figure out even if it was real time.
