Phone refuses to sleep, 100% awake

Alright, I've been having this re-occuring problem for a while now. It does NOT matter what ROM I use, it happens on them all so far (DC, Fresh, Aloysius, Regaw, etc). Let me go over exactly what has been going on.
When I wipe everything and flash a new ROM, the phone does everything as it should. It sleeps like it is supposed to and a fully charged battery will last a very long time.
For some reason there comes a point (a day or two after flashing) where I notice the battery dropping faster, and I notice that my awake time is the same as my up time. I've used "Battery Use" and "Spare Parts" in order to try and locate any possible problem.. nothing is showing. The only thing I know is that when the problem starts: Spare Parts -> Other Usage, shows Running @ 100% and when I click on "Running" It says the phone went (however long) without sleep.
Last night I wiped everything and flashed Aloysius 2.0.2.. I decided to monitor it more closely and chose to NOT install ANY apps, just to see if the problem happens. So the phone was sleeping properly all night. I went to sleep and chose NOT to charge it, because it seemed like the problems started when I charged it or plugged it into PC. So I left it unplugged all night. I woke up and saw that it slept the entire night as it should.
I was messing with the phone, couple of emails, couple of text messages, a few phone calls. The phone was at about 14 hours of uptime and 1 hour awake at this point. When I finished with just some calls and text, I left the phone alone while I went outside to do some things. I came back and checked the uptime.. 18 hours and awake time 5.. Phone refused to sleep again.
I shut the phone down, took the battery out for 60 seconds, put battery back in, put cover on, booted phone back up ("power cycling"). Phone has been on for 5 hours now with an awake time of 5 hours. I can't find anything unusual in battery use nor spare parts again. Now the "Other usage" in "spare parts" shows "Running" as 100% with no sleep time, but I can't figure out what is causing it to be constantly "running". I've even gone as far as to shut off all background data, syncing, locations, and even evdo all together. I have tried so many thing and can't figure out why ONLY a WIPE+flash fixes this temporarily?
Sorry for the extremely long post, but does anyone have any ideas or experience similar problems?

have you tried giving your phone some sleeping pills?

You aren't running a2sd are you? You're sure that your apps aren't just getting reinstalled after a restore because they are actually stored on sd:ext?

I had this problem. The 1.5 release was supposed to fix the problem. It was the dialer running at 100%. Didn't fix it for me. Talked to HTC and they said the problem still exists sometimes. But I had to exchange my phone and the new one has never done that. I think they had some bad phones. If you can't figure it out get your phone replaced.

Sorry I should have mentioned, I forgot. I used to run Apps2SD. I thought that may have been the culprit, so I partitioned my SD card again.
With the latest wipe, I partitioned my SD card with 0 ext and 0 swap, all fat. So no apps2SD now. With the partition was a complete format, so there was NO data on the SD card to restore from. My restore data is on my PC only and I haven't used it.
Edit: Also, I have a minimum of 4 out of 6 bars at all times. 0% TWS

Did rebooting fix the problem or was it constantly screwed?

Reboot sometimes fixed it but them it was only temporary. If I remember right it started the always awake again sometime between 12-24 hours after the reboot.

I've been having the same issue with the new 2.1 ROMS as well, for some reason, only a fresh wipe will "temporarliy" solve the issue and after a day or so, 100% awake time, with no apps installed nor A2SD running.

I had the problem. Ended up being Slacker. I have to remember to use the "Exit" button of Slacker or else it never goes to sleep.

What worked for me
Was I would open up Advanced Task Killer, then go to the services tab and hit end all several times. I would keep doing this until the awake time began to drop. Problem was whenever I restarted the phone it would return to the way it was, but after doing this at least half a dozen times it drops the awake time on its own after a restart, so now the awake time hovers at about 6-8% which I think is pretty dern good from 100%.
so
1. Go to ATK (or dw if you dont have)
2. Go To services tab
3.hit "end all"
4. Repeat about 5 times
5. Press the power button to make phone sleep
6. Wake phone back up check awake time in setting
7. Repeat if necessary
also if you have problems dl from the marketplace afterwards, just sign into google talk, and that will set things right.
also your phone will restart all your services every time you end them, so dont be alarmed if you lose your signal and internets for a second or two
i dont know why this worked but it did for me at least

Make sure "GSD.apk" is missing from /system/app. That tends to suck the battery up rather quickly.

Well, After some testing, it appears that my 100% awake BS always starts when I use the dialer and make a call. I got it to go into psycho 100% mode again, even after reboot. I've tried ending all services in the past but I wasn't persistent enough apparently, lol.
At first I tried ending services once, didn't help. Then I went crazy and constantly killed the services over and over for a solid 30-40 second as they opened up again. Eventually I killed ATK and let it sleep, it actually sleeps again.
So... some weird problem with my dialer/phone app (no matter the rom) but at least I found a solution! Thanks amallama.

I think you are simply having a problem with badly programmed apps. It sounds especially suspect that this is happening to you regardless of what rom you are on. Have you installed anything new recently? in the past week I've run into a few apps that have prevented my phone from sleeping (awake time ~89% after 12 hours of uptime).
I deleted fandango and gigbox and awake time and battery life went right back to normal.

Mind of its own - Battery issues

I have my phone setup so that I get fantastic battery life . . . sometimes. I am rooted and running EE rom with Phoenix 1.43 kernel. I can easily get 24 hours of life out of the battery sometimes, but other times it has a mind of its own.
Take today for example.
I charged the phone last night by plugging it in for 8 hours, taking it off the charger, turning the phone off, charging for another hour, turning it on and then off and then charging for another hour. NOTHING was running on the phone when I took it off the charger, as it had been rebooted several times. Tasker handled the airplane toggle, as it does every boot and autostarts disabled the DRM.
So from around 11 when I took it off the hook till around 2, I didn't use the phone at all, and I lost about 11% of battery life. Then I start to use my phone a bit, and I noticed that in spare parts, it showed the phone was running 100% of the time and was not sleeping. So I restart the phone and use it very lightly until around 8pm. From 3-8 PM I lose 4% battery life, which is perfect and what I expect to see. Then I start up Angry Birds and a couple other games until around 8:50, losing only 16% battery life, which again is awesome and acceptable. But then for some reason, after I stop using the phone and set it down from 9ish till midnight, it keeps losing battery at the same rate as when I was playing Angry Birds.
It seems to have a mind of its own. After a fresh restart and being taken off the charger, it decides not to sleep properly. Then after a restart, the sleeping problem is alleviated and the phone acts flawlessly until I begin to play Angry Birds and the battery goes into free fall mode. What gives? I really dont want to have to restart this phone as often as my Windows mobile phones, but it seems like I have to restart after being taken off the charger so that the phone can sleep, and restart after I play some battery intensive games, to reset the phone.
Also, why does the phone do this:
When its charging, it charges up to 100% and then lets it drain down slowly to 96% and then it charges it back up again, over and over and over all night. So its basically a crapshoot when you pull the phone off the charger. It could be anywhere between 96-100%. It looks like the instant it hits 100% it stops charging and lets the phone drain the battery, so its almost an impossibility to get a phone with a 100% charged battery.

I was having this same issue when I noticed I had Superuser installed in both system and data. Most of the newer kernels install it to system by default, but I must have updated it from the market also. After deleting it from system/app, the no sleep issue on every other boot went away.

Interesting. I don't see a second superuser installed in data, but what I did see in the superuser logs was that juicedefender asks for root several times every 5-10 minutes. There has to easily be a hundred logs in Superuser for juicedefender today alone. Wonder why its constantly asking for root and what effect that is having on battery life.

Try not using Juice defender and just install a app/widget that lets you shut off data yourself. See if your phone sleeps without JD.

The only problem with that is that its a pain and I will forget to do it sometimes and if I shut off data I can't get emails or anything. I have used Tasker to try and emulate juicedefender setting up schedules to toggle data, but it is MUY complicated and I didn't like it as much.
That said, I don't think its Juicedefender causing the no sleep issue. I think it has something to do with charging the phone while its on. As for why it nose dived after I played some Angry Birds, no clue. I am suspecting voice search has something to do with it though, because I accidentally launched it while playing a different game and it just took me about a dozen times tapping the END key for it to finally die without coming right back.
I hope that I do find out its Juicedefender so that I can have Tasker just restart the program when I turn my screen on or every few hours or something easy like that.

Alright, quick update. I found out what caused the rundown after playing Angry Birds. It seems that the new Fascinate music player included in the rom I am running, which I love BTW, has a service that runs as soon as it is launched and that does not end even after the app is killed.
Service:
CorePlayerService
Whenever this service is running, my phone cannot enter sleep mode. Just tested it out several times, and as soon as I kill this service my phone sleeps normally.
Now, how to figure out how to automate the killing of this service.

Battery issue for some people - maybe found out why..

I alrdy posted a question about this but I figured it out myself in the meantime (i think):
My phone has/had a very high battery drain and I was wondering why. So I kept watching the battery history over and over.. and yesterday I recognized that sometimes the phone doesnt seem to go into sleep mode. When you see the battery history, the "Execution" % (the thing that shows how much % of uptime the phone has been executing/running something) went up even when the phone display was turned off. This meant that some process had to be running.
So after watching the thing closer for a while I noticed that its the mediaserver process. Restarting the phone did help. But after a while the problem was back. So after some more investigation I found out that (in my case) Fruit Ninja was causing this. When I played it, afterwards the mediaserver would keep running. I tried to kill the process, both in app settings, and even in terminal mode, but without sucess. Only restarting the phone did help so far.
..
So if you having very high battery drain you could look into this. There might be other apps out that cause this too.
To see if thats the problem check battery history and note/remember the actual execution %. Then turn off display/let it lie for 5 or 10 minutes, and check the % again, if it went up this or a similar problem might cause ur drain.
--
If someone can figure out a way to restart/fix mediaserver without restarting the phone it would be awesome.
To view the process in terminal:
ps | grep media
tried killing with -15 and -9 both didnt really work, although the response was that the process was terminated/killed. So maybe there is something else wrong than the process itself.

You might be on to something.
In the last few days I have been seeing horrendous battery drainage.
I charge my phone in the evening and next morning it is at 40% left!
I also thought it must have had something to do with the phone not going to sleep.
Battery history tells me "Time without Sleep: 4d 6h", in the last 110 hours since restart!
So something is preventing it from going into sleep mode.
Thanks for sharing, I will see if I can test it a little more.

for me exactly the same,
mediaserver up and ruining in background after playing ' pocket legends', restart did help.
running on original samsung rom 2.1 jm2, just rooted.

I can confirm this problem (generated by Fruit Ninja apparently). killing the service with the terminal emulator (using root and the pid) and then restarting it seems to work, but it's not really user friendly.
Should find a way to avoid the mediaserver to loop or at least automatize the process (for example with some sort of background script that kills/restarts the mediaserver if it has 5-10%+ cpu usage for 5 minutes or more pooling every minute)
Edit: killing the process and restarting it brings it to low cpu usage, but I'm not shure the phone goes back to sleep mode as it should
Edit2: I don't really understand... I had the phone on for 2 days, then I've started fruit ninja and the mediaserver went crazy. Killed it several times and everytime I've restarted the game the problem come back (and this is all ok).
I was pretty shure the problem was in some .png in the .apk file since there are people with a similar problem caused by corrupted images or videos, so i extracted them and opened one by one: no problem at all.
Restarted the game, killed it.. and the mediaserver was ok at 0% cpu usage
I guess there is a combination of more elements here.

I tested the game, turn off, 7hrs of idle later I lost 40% battery!

The same problem here ! I need to charge my phone every night. If i leave the phone over the night it may take up to 30 % of the battery

Hoi,
My batt. drained in less than six hours, so I tried different methods to get around this. Switching 3G off and so on. But nothing helped in my case! So I went back to the store, explained the problem... The guy came with some of the usual excuses.... So finally I've dicided to buy a NEW batt. With that all my problems just went a way. I average 2 to 3 days with moderate use. Checking mail, some news,Radio for like 1 hour. About 10 min. Call time and a few other things.... So a new batt. solved my problem. Just incase a bought a spare.
But aside from this, Samsung should look into issue and handle the complaints seriously.

Insane Battery Drain...Please help

This is my first android phone and I'm wondering if I am doing anything wrong. Yesterday I charged my phone and it was at 83%. I unplugged the phone and went to sleep, when I woke up this morning the battery was completely drained.
This happens a lot. Even if I am not doing anything it still drains like crazy. I just text, make some phone calls and it barely makes it through the day. I don't play any games, no gps, no Bluetooth or anything. With my plan, I don't have a data connection so I can't connect to 3g/4g so that shouldn't drain anything.
What could I be doing wrong? When I'm done using the phone I tap the power button on top, the screen goes black - to sleep I presume and I put it away. I had an iphone before this and I did exactly the same thing and the battery lasted for 3-4 days on one charge.
Whenever I see what's using up the battery, the display tops the list. The display is using up 75-80% of the battery. If the phone is asleep for most of the time why is the display using up that much battery? Am I not putting the phone to sleep correctly?

If you cant connect to 3g/4g, you should turn it off in settings. Otherwise, Your phone will constantly look for a signal, draining your battery.

Battery life is all relative. Every single person will experience different battery life. The apps you have installed, the amount of time you spend on it and the time you spend on/in each app, distance from cell towers, distance from Wi-Fi sources, settings you have for every app and things like sync and what not.

The first thing to check is if your phone is being affected by the init or suspend bugs. The good news is the former has an easy fix, and the latter can be temporarily fixed by a reboot.
First, download & install Watchdog Lite from the market. Then open its preferences and check "include phone processes," "monitor phone processes," and "display all phone processes." Then just use your phone as normal. It may take a while before you get an alert from Watchdog (and maybe you never will and it ends up you have a different problem). But if you do, note the process that is the culprit.
If it is the init process, go to settings>applications>development> check "usb debugging."
If it is the suspend process, reboot the phone. It should keep it from happening again for a while.
I know the second answer isn't really an answer, but so far it's all we've got for that problem. There is more information on the 2 problems in these threads:

Good luck...I had both of the problems and my phone didn't last to dinner time. Now I get better battery life than the iphone 3GS I had before this...about a day and a half of moderate use.
EDIT: also you'll probably want to go to settings>wireless & networks>uncheck "mobile network" since you don't have a data plan. No reason to have that on since you don't have a data plan.

I installed this using the Moderate setting, and then selected those options as recommended in preferences.
Does Watchdog use a lot of system resources when running in this manner? Will it cause the battery to drain noticeably faster?

Completely unnoticeable, IMO.

I installed watchdog lite and I have had couple of alerts. I got suspended couple of times and I also got Android system once.
Android system - 50.1%
Foreground
Suspend - 54.4%
Linux Process
I turned off the data usage from the settings and it did help save battery. The display is not using so much battery life anymore. It went from using 70% to 35%.
Edit: Battsatt reported that the battery was at 93%. When I saw the two alerts above I rebooted the phone and Battsatt now starts reporting the phone is fully charged.

Make sure the GPS is turned Off, too...

All these answers and the easy ones were not mentioned..
Make sure you shut your AUTO SYNC off...
Make sure you lower your brightneess....
Make sure you turn off GPS(was stated above me)
Turn off your wifi if you are not using it.. make sure you are not transmitting your hot spot stuff...

You just summed it up right there. You are experiencing the 'suspend' issue, period. There is no app you can install to fix it. There is no app you can uninstall to fix it. There is no setting you can adjust to fix it. There is no fix for the 'suspend' issue, literally.
I started the following thread in an attempt to consolidate posts and hopefully work toward flushing out what the real issue is...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872839
This is a real, legitimate issue with Android 2.2.x Froyo. As I linked in my post, this is Issue # 11126 on Google Code...
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126
If there was an app or setting that fixed the 'suspend' issue, we wouldn't even be discussing this right now. There are fixes/workarounds for a lot of things, but right now, the 'suspend' process issue truly is a mystery. No one, not a single person has yet to post, "this is the cause of the issue," let alone a fix for it.
I wish you had a fix man, I really do. My fiancee experiences this and there's only one way she's found to sort of workaround it, sort of - she reboots her phone every morning. This seems to keep it at bay, at least more so than when she doesn't reboot each morning, once she takes it off the charger. She still gets it though and she's just used to looking for Watchdog and checking her processes now.
This thread could go on and on forever but it comes down to this:
- The MT4G does not have insane battery drain and will give you about 12 hours of life, under normal>medium usage. If your battery is draining insanely quickly AND if you're seeing the suspend process jacked up so high, then there.is.no.fix.yet.
There might be a ton of other replies after this about uninstall this, install that, change this, don't use widgets, use widgets, etc. Those attempts will be futile.

Deep Sleep issues?

My phone has not been able to get into deep sleep. For the last few days that I've checked GSam, it's always been at 0s of deep sleep. Just checked right now and after 21 hours, my phone has gotten 10s of deep sleep. I've done a search and looked through many pages of posts on some of the various battery discussion threads but I haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone have a possible remedy for this or explanation of why it's happening? Is anyone else having trouble going into deep sleep?

Mines is the same, I assume it's because I charge my phone every night, which is really the only time my phone would sit still inactive long enough to actually enter doze.

I might of fixed my draining battery issue so maybe you guys can try it out too. My issue was my phone would not go to deep sleep and would stay awake even when the phones display was off so something was keeping it up. I tried all the different methods out there including the package disabler and doing the hard reset with the cache reset. I was browsing the developer options in the settings screen and looked at my running services. I noticed that my contacts and a. Program called com.qualcomm.location had a message next to them saying restarting while all the other programs just had a countdown of how long they were running. So I clicked on each and pressed stop and I also re-downloaded the package disabler and disabled the com.qualcomm.location. after all that I synced my contacts again and just did a simple reboot and after that my phone was able to deep sleep. Now my battery is not draining like it did. So in my case those 2 apps had an issue and kept trying to reset itself so the phone was never able to sleep. I would recommend looking at your running services in the developer options. go into the running services and see if anything is trying to restart itself over and over again

So I did finally achieve deep sleep. I tried a few things from the temporary battery fix thread and I wasn't able to pin point one thing which worked, THEN, I restarted my phone and it wouldn't go into deep sleep again. I tried wiping the cache and restarted and suddenly it's going into deep sleep again....
I'll keep an eye on it and will update if anything interesting happens.

I finally charged my phone prior to going to sleep and it finally did dose last night, the phone has to be stationary to enter deep sleep

Doze and deep sleep seem to be too different things. My phone will sometimes doze without going into deep sleep. What's really weird is that sometimes my phone will randomly stop going into deep sleep and a clearing of the system cache immediately fixes this. There have been at least two times I can confirm I *only* did a cache wipe and the issue was remedied.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and why clearing the cache helps?

Anyone figure this out? Also is everyone on stock? Im rooted and on superman rom, this is happening to me every day now after i charge it over night. I have to restart my phone to fix.

same for me on Galaxy s7 flat exynos sm-930f, no root, stock rom
very annoying
if you find a solution suitable for me (without root) please let me know

same here to me stock exynos s7 when plug off the charger in the morning have to restart the phone otherwise battery dies half day

I figured out that for my phone it defenitly is somehow connected to the fast-charging function.
When using the fast-charger the phone doesn't go into deepsleep anymore.
It happens as soon as the phone touches the fast-charger, it doesn't even need to fully charge for this to occur.
When charging with everything else, incl. Qi nothing happens, but as I said, after the fast-charger was connected - no deepsleep.
At least that's what I observed, no guarantee that this affects everybody.

It is the same issue that has been discussed for a while in "high android system battery drain" thread. Read up last few pages.
