Viber battery drain after A13 upgrade - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I need some help or advice. I have upgrade to A13 some days ago and apart from the crazy battery drain with "Phone Idle" and "Mobile Networks" I am facing a weird Viber drain which never occured before :
Shows and 20-30% battery consumation with 15-25 hours "alive" and only 2-3 minutes in background.
Ofcourse this is nonsense the real usage is the 2-3 minutes and not the 15-25 hours
I have wiped cache , and done a uninstall re-install but nothing happens.
Viber is the no.1 battery consumer in the app list.
Any advice,guys?
I am already very disappointed with the A13 drain with "Phone Idle" and now this Viber issue comes up Heeeeelp !

He's reporting it here because its a13 problem on our device not vibers.i have p6p and i have the same bug. does anybody have a solution?

This does not have anything to do with the P6.
It is an app issue and needs to be reported to the developer of the app.

Exactly. It's a well known problem with the latest version of Viber across many devices. So stop spamming irrelevant stuff to Pixel 6, or else.

How come it only showed up after A13 uprade? On A12 Viber was normal, with A13 its a mess with massive drain
You cant be serious this is not A13 related.....

Because Viber app is maybe not updated to support A13.
Several apps need an update to work under A13.
In my case, DJI Mimo needed an update to v1.7.26, after that it started correctly.

I see this is a bummer. However I feel that this is more like a Google issue not Viber's fault but we will see. My battery life
is tragic, worst ever in my 10+ years smart phone usage...

Looks like your feeling is not shared with the moderators, it was moved to general.
Beside that, maybe check Google whether others reported the same problem and maybe offer workarounds.

I tried to check but could not find any workaround so far and this is very annoying that it is the main consumer. (APP)
Top drainer it is, next to "Phone Idle" I have been trying to find a workaround but none so far or I have been bad with searching...

Look into this topic, the section "RECOMMENDED AFTER UPDATE". The first 3 items could help, but you should be familiar with "platform-sdk-tools" and ADB commands (also how to open a command prompt in Windows).

I did some of the settings and no, I am not familar with "platform-sdk-tools" and ADB commands.
I am a regular user not a tweaker. Unfortunately nothing has changed. Phone ide is 35% in 8 hours in flight mode
and Viber is still top consumer APP Insane ! I am really fed up with this A13. Battery cant even last 24 hours
using flight mode for the night. : (

The recommended "DISABLE" bits and parts. Did not really help. Still heavy battery drain and Viber is no.1 consumer APP-wise otherwise its "Phone Idle" 30-35%

No, I specifically said the 3 commands written in "RECOMMENDED AFTER UPDATE". The others may help, but not for ur problem.
One command specifically deals wit re-compiling all the apps which could help with overheating and battery drain.
The other one deals with battery drain.
"Disable" bit and parts could cripple your phone if you don't know what they exactly do.
And don't focus on how much 30-35% for Phone idle writes.
If your phone used for example 10% battery, the 30% of these 10% were drained, but not 30% of the battery.

Alright. Can you tell me what to do and how to do with these 3 commands? I will perform but I would need some step-by-step help if possible

Enable USB debugging on your mobile. Download the platform-sdk-tools and unzip to a directory.
Connect your mobile to a PC, and open a command prompt.
Type adb devices, authorize the connection on the mobile and then type the commands.
All this can be easily found, here on XDA and internet.
Cheers

Great. Many thanks, man. I will wait for the september patch if nothing happens I will do these steps.
Viber is still no.1. consumer staying on top with 25% consumation with bogus data
Phone Idle is 35% with 18-20hours standby which is insane. This A13 update was a catastrophe in terms of battery life

Google won't fix Viber. That's a Viber problem.
So far Viber is developed up to API 30, Android 13 is API 33.

[Q] CM9 high battery drain overnight

Hello!
I've installed CM9 update from 09.04 and I'm getting HUGE battery drain on it.
Like, this huge:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9h 47m from battery, 36% screen but it's on for only 37m.
Wifi is on for like 100% of the time, but it was fine on previous version of CM9.
I tried calibrating it, did a cache/dalvik cache wipe prior to updating ROM, even did a full wipe. Didn't work.
I'm going to try BetterBatteryStats this night, any other ideas what may be causing this?
Looking at the first screen shot you posted, Wi-Fi isn't your only problem. Yhe drain you got was;-
36% Screen - should be zero overnight unless you leave you phone screen on doing something
21% Wi-Fi
16% Mobile Data
15% Something to do with the power (not sure as I don't run ICS)
Ny first suggestion would be that if the previous version was working better, go back to it. ICS is very much a beta software and each version will fix some things and may break others.
If that's not an option then try to work out what application is running in the background doing this. To me this looks like you might be in a weak Wi-Fi point, so the phone keeps dropping it and switching to mobile data - but to have the screen on as well surely means there is an application running, trying to access the Internet, which keeps on waking up the phone.

It's not Mobile Data (if you mean 3g internet connection), it's mobile network connection. Mobile Data is turned off.

I'va installed new build, here's what I got:
I think that it's my phone spends too much time in "Awake". Some app is blocking sleep mode, but I saw nothing it in BetterBatteryStats.
And this is the data from System Panel app:
I have deleted all apps like weather widget and IM+ which may cause it, but no luck. Any idea what can I try? A full wipe maybe?
Me too
I always update to latest nightly and am running 20120423 which has massive drain. Its very annoying and even tried different roms as it was bugging me so much but ended up coming back to CM9 as its my favourite but I have noticed the last several nightlies my battery wont even last 8hrs and that's with light use. There seems to be something draining the battery but don't know what ? Hopefully they will fix it. Until then I am willing to carry a spare batt (
Had the same issue with CM9 Alpha - April 14 build - ( posted about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613151 ) and the last nightly nk111 posted. The nightly actually eked out a couple of hours more for me.
After being a little stumped by what betterbatterystats was trying to tell me, I basically wiped and reinstalled with no apps on, only gmail on sync, screen down to 1/4 brightness and wifi always on, cpu gov at conservative. Still lost 10% during the nite and down to 43% after 3 calls (total 30 mins), snd/rcv 4 emails, 20 mins browsing on stock browser and an hour's worth of messaging via sms.
Love the rom, its so clean and ICS was a major reason for me to make the effort of rooting etc. I'll let the devs work on it for now. Back to Reaper for me, but going to try blindice tonight, let's see if that shows a difference.
After trying out blindice ICS I can say the results were much better. Made real world use of it and took the phone to work (yea I mix work n play lol).
Settings: CPU gov set to Interactive, brightness at 40%, wifi always on, auto/push sync only for hotmail app, whatsapp, calendar and gmail.
Usage: Made 11 calls - 41 mins talk time,
recvd 39 emails sent 26, mostly via hotmail app
72 texts via stock sms and whatsapp snd/rcv,
gps fix for getting some directions on gmaps,
several manual updates of twitter and fb apps,
downloaded various apps from the store,
synced a few notes via Evernote and photos with dropbox,
saw a youtube vid on its app,
saw an mkv ep of Simpsons on MX player,
listened to several flac songs,
took a few photos incl a panorama,
browsed the verge, xda and some other sites via chrome,
used skype for a 5 min video call,
played a game for 10 mins,
and generally played around with the phone and launcher settings as one normally does when they have something new
Have 7% batt left after almost 21hrs of use.
Going to stick with this for now as the rom itself has been speedy and smooth and the batt life is pretty good so far amongst all the ICS rom's I've tried (for me atleast). Haven't had any F.Close issues or crashes and it seems pretty stable. I just saw blindndumb uploaded a new build with a network patch so the only possible issue seems to have been resolved! Will revisit CM9 after a while I suppose.

[Q] Whatsapp message delay problem

Nearly on every custom rom I have used, whatsapp is not working perfectly. My sent messages and messages I received are delivered very late sometimes. I do not use wifi sleep setting when screen is off, wifi is always on. And if there is no wifi, mobile data is on. When I reply a message, then the conversation is ok and occurs real-time. But if I don't touch the phone for a long time, incoming messages are not received instantly. And if I start a conversation my sent messages are not delivered for a long time (again sometimes).
Has anyone had this issue? And if it is common, can you propose a solution?
Don't have any issues on my phone.
Are messages still delayed when you use a different wifi connection? Is background data enabled? Have you tried clearing data and reinstalling?

Generally I suffer this issue on my home wifi. But sometimes it occurs outside with mobile data on. What settings should I check in my home wifi settings?
I flash a new rom with a clean install once in every two days. So I install whatsapp again when I flash a rom. I also tried to clear data, uninstalling and reinstalling. But it is no use. I have this issue for 5-6 months.
So the issue is with your home network? Is your wifi set to always stay on during sleep?
If there is such an option in your router, try increasing the bandwidth prioritization of your device. Also change your security to WPA if you're using WPA2 since it uses more advanced encryption algorithms and may be causing network problems with your device.
Bear in mind that the issue may also be with your ISP.

Wifi is always on during sleep.
I also checked the modem security, it uses WPA.
It is so annoying but I guess it is not fixable easily. Even whatsapp shows a warning when installing that says `on custom ROMs you can experience problems.` So I do not have a big hope but someone can come with a solution, so I will wait till then.
Whatsapp works perfectly fine on all of the custom roms that I've tried. Maybe your ISP is throttling Whatsapp traffic for some reason, perhaps you should call them and enquire.
Honestly though I still think there are too many variables. Does browsing on your phone work fast? Have you tried connecting another device with Whatsapp to your wifi?
I took part in an identical thread to this in the General forum a while back. I'm not even sure if the OP actually resolved his issue, but we became fairly confident that it was either his ISP or his network hardware causing the delay.

I know there are too many variables and I do not have a clue. I do not think it is related with custom roms. I specified it because I didn't use the stock rom too much and there is a warning when installing whatsapp with custom roms. But now I don't think that's the source of the problem. It is because of the wifi network or because of my ISP. My friends with Android devices also have this issue when they are connected to my home wifi.
Browsing on my phone is OK.

This is exactly the same problem I have. Thank you for the thread. I think it is a rare occasion and related with wifi settings or ISP. I will try to check router settings if there is any unusual setting and will report if any.

I couldn't care less how many 'thanks' I get, but I am getting more and more pi$$ed-off by seeing noobs here who seem to be incapable of pressing the 'Thanks' button, but insist on typing 'Thanks' in a thread instead. Maybe the settings for XDA should be changed, so that until a new user has created 50 useful posts and thanked at least 10 times they have their 'noob' status removed?

The 'THANKS' button is there to stop people filling up threads with useless posts and to stop you getting modified of a new post in a thread unnecessarily.
Unfortunately newbies don't seem to realise its existence and a subtle reminder often helps. Given your stats you haven't taken much part in the XDA community, but how many times have you been notified of a new post in an interesting development thread and when you went to read it you found it was just someone who had posted 'Thank You' instead of pressing the button?
If you've got a problem with me, next time bring it to me on PM where it should be :banghead:
P.S.
'You're' not 'Your'
'an idiot'
'I' not 'i'
'don't' not 'dont' - twice
i think the problems here is the 'deep sleep', when the phone is in the deep sleep, most of the application not running(just guessing)

Annoying Notifications after OS update

Hi all,
After the last update Tizen v. 3.0.0.1 I started to receive two annoying and useless notifications when the watch disconnects from the phone's bluetooth.
Anyone can guide me how to get read of those? maybe uninstall something? Maybe some setting?
I tried Settings > Connections > Alerts (Get Bluetooth disconnection alerts) to set it to off and still I have the same messages.
I attach screenshots.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Dani

Hi, I just realised that the screenshots are not visible.
My watch is Samsung Gear S3 Model SM.R770 running Tizen 3.0.0.1
Adding inline images it seems doesn't work SO I add links to the pictures below.
But it seems I cannot add either links to pics so you need to add https before the ibb domain Sorry for that @admin but I have no other way to show the issue.

Thank you in advance for the help!
hello, Anyone can pls try to help me? Thanks
@matotaupas
Ok... Both messages states that you are not connected to the the Gear APP.
The "alerts" that you've turned off is regarding when watch is connected and than disconnects from gear app(phone) as reminder that you are "missing" something.
Can you confirm your watch is connected to the your phone? (Connections -> Bluetooth)
If not, can you go and check from your watch: About Gear -> Device Information and validate that you have an address under "Bluetooth address".
Rgds
Hi @wisefreakz
Thank you very much for the fast response!
Yes I know what causes those messages. The fact is that I go beyond the reach of the bluetooth connection and the watch disconnects from the phone. After this disconnection from the phone, the watch displays those messages.
But the real issue is that first of all, before the OS update, those messages were not displaying but instead only the small icon on top of the watch face stating that the watch is operating standalone, which was totally fine. But now, each time the watch disconnects I need to take an action of cleaning up those messages which are completely useless. One asks me to connect back to BT (before it was doing it automatically which would be the expected behaviour) and the other one is saying that I need connection to use Samsung services which I didn't requested as I did no action on the watch. It would have make sense if I was trying to access an app on the watch which needed Samsung account and then I got this message, but the fact is I take no action and I get this warning.
So, to conclude, do you have any idea if I can just not get anymore the confirmation to connect by BT (so the watch does this automatically without asking) and if I can uninstall something or do some setting in the gear app so I don't get those and it operates by itself without asking me something that always is useless?
Thanks you!
@matotaupa
I guess this bluetooth message is really not meant to be there. My watch is already on Tizen 3 and when it disconnects from the phone, only thing I get is the "icon" stating the stand alone mode.
I have a hint that might help...
1) Turn off your watch
2) Go to: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
3) Login with same account you use in the Gear APP
4) Hopefully you will receive a message that the terms and whatever has been updated and you must accept it.
5) Once you've done that, reboot you watch and have it connected to the gear app
6) Once connected, try to disable bluetooth from your phone and see what happens in the watch.
Let us know if that helps.
@matotaupa Let me know if it did helped with your problem.
@wisefreakz
You are the best man, YES it worked and all your assumptions were correct, now everything is back to normal!

I guess this bluetooth message is really not meant to be there. My watch is already on Tizen 3 and when it disconnects from the phone, only thing I get is the "icon" stating the stand alone mode.
I have a hint that might help...
1) Turn off your watch
2) Go to: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
3) Login with same account you use in the Gear APP
4) Hopefully you will receive a message that the terms and whatever has been updated and you must accept it.
5) Once you've done that, reboot you watch and have it connected to the gear app
6) Once connected, try to disable bluetooth from your phone and see what happens in the watch.
Let us know if that helps.

Looks like you are the only one suffering from this right. The indicated procedure has helped at least 12 persons that I know....
Are you now able to download apps/watchfaces directly from your watch? If not, you still haven't completed the process as described... but if you can, than its out of my knowledge

That's great
Hi,
I was never downloading watch faces directly from the watch.
I tried to do that and it told me that I need to login to my samsung account. So I pressed OK and somehow it connected or something. Then I was able to download watch faces.
So now I tried again and I got no more annoying messages. Most probably that was the part I missed
"5) Once you've done that, reboot you watch and have it connected to the gear app"
I understood that I need to connect to the phone's gear app not that I need to login to the app store on the watch.
Ok, so again, many thanks I hope that I don't bother you again with this.
Have a nice day

Question Cracking/squealing between phone call

Hi.
Today I ported all my things from P5 to P7Pro and I noticed a very annoying thing.
In every call, after a minute or two there beggins cracking/squealing, like it's a bad connection.
I updated the phone to the latest Android version (screen in att). I tried restarting, with another SIM but the same ...
No problem at all on my P5.
Anyone else facing that?
I'm really disappointed that this disables the basic use of the phone and I don't even know how to start reporting a bug considering I'm using the phone in an unsupported country. :/

Strange one, not something I have nor read anyone else having. I'd suggest you have a faulty handset if you have tried another sim from another sim in it (presumably from another provider).

Do you have clear calling enabled? Not sure if it would make a difference, but I did see one or two people report that their connection was worse with it, although for most I think it's better. Not sure they reported crackling/squealing though.

Hello I have the same issue with Italian PosteMobile.
Where are you from?
It starts after 5 or 6 minutes in call.
Same phone but with other operator I have no problems.
Is your operator a virtual one? Full MNVO?

Hi!
Not so great for you and me, but great that I'm not the only one.
I'm from Slovenia.
Hm, strange, so something with operators u think? I'm on Telekom Slovenia, so biggest national operator ...
Idk but I know someone that works for my operator and they will try to understand what's the problem, in theory...
I'm also thinking opting in Beta Android to check if a newer rom fixes the issue.
If I have news I'll post here!

I keep fingers crossed!
Same issue here but I only get it after exactly 20 minutes of calling. I'm using kpn Netherlands with a esim . I migrated from pixel 5 also with esim on same provider. I must note that after I disabled 2g calling from the settings that not all calls have the issue anymore.
Same problem here in Portugal after 15m in a call.
I must say that now after testing a couple of days with the 2g slider turned off, 90+% of the calls go without big audio issues. Only sometimes 1-5 seconds long distortion of some kind is left
Hello, problem still present after many updates and now on last beta.
Probably most of you solved it by switching to another operator, but I can't.
I opened an issue in Android Bug Report and discovered through logcat that there are some duplicate received frames.
If you suffer from the same issue I kindly ask you to post in this official issue link to let Android developers know that I'm not the only one with this problem!
Google Issue Tracker
issuetracker.google.com
Take a look to my answer number 6 to see the logcat :
On a Windows PowerShell:
adb logcat | find "F1:ERR"

If the problem remains unsolved I will sell my Pixel 7Pro, I can't work with this issue (and cannot change operator as it is the professional on that gave me my employer).
Thank you!
Same problem here
Hello, as of today nothing changed, just updated on beta 13 (T2B2.221216.008)
Annoying...
Same problem here!
After about 8 minutes of calling with Postemobile operator (Italy), the call starts croaking! More and more often I receive text messages from people who have looked for me, despite the fact that the phone was always under excellent signal. Postemobile still has VoLTE not enabled on Pixel7.

Question Android Auto problem

Hello,
I have a Xiaomi 12 since September 2022. I have just received miui 14 in global version. When I use Android auto, the phone randomly disconnects and reconnects in a loop. No matter if I unplug or plug my phone back in or restart it or not, it cannot be reconnected.
I can reconnect it again the next day until it starts again, sometimes after ten minutes sometimes an hour.
I suspect the battery saver killing a process despite the fact that I changed the settings of many apps to prevent this.
My old Oneplus works perfectly on my car.
I am really very disappointed with this phone and miui 14 does not bring anything, I do not even have the novelties like the super icons...
Can you help me

Probably due to the rom version.
Either you wait for an update to a stable or you downgrade but it involves unlocking the bootloader.
I know your phone says Stable but it still says Stable.
Xiaomi 12 GlobalStable BetaRecoveryV14.0.2.0.TLCMIXM13.04.7 GB2023-01-14
Thank you for your reply.
Do you think this is a bug that will be fixed? From what I've read some users have had this bug since the phone was marketed...
I'm not against unlocking the bootloader and installing beta versions but that removes the warranty. Do you think there is a hardware problem?

Was it working before the update?
Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty.
it never worked even with miui 13

Go to installed apps/3 dots at top right/show all apps/search for auto/android auto/additional settings in the app.
And/ or
empty the cache and / or erase everything and / or uninstall the updates.
I've done this procedure several times before, the last time when I last updated Android auto with the new interface, about a week ago.

May be a hardware problem, do a factory reset to be sure, since you will have to do it anyway if you send it in warranty.
Hello what I remember is that the cellular network change during drive was suspected to disturb the AA connection for several mobile models.

Thanks a lot but my car is not compatible with wireless.
The factory reset seems to have been beneficial but I have not been able to test over long distances for the moment.
The problem appeared briefly during one of my routes.
I will also try with another cable. Thank you for your answers !

Hi,
Did the factory reset solve the problem ? I have the disconnect/reconnect loop on my xiaomi 12 since i start using it (miui 13 and 14). I was never able to fix it.
Note that i am using it wireless, so usb cable cannot be the culprit, and my wife galaxy s21 works flawlessly wirelessly with the same car
I have the same problem with my Xiaomi 12 pro...
There's any solution?

Unfortunately I have not found a solution.
I got around the problem by buying an Android auto wireless adapter (my car is not compatible with AA Wireless).
I have take this https://aawireless.io/
Sometimes there are disconnections but it reconnects right away.
Moreover, it is very practical not to take out the phone for short trips.
Have a Good day !
