Still have 100% Awake after Sprint MR? Report in!

I know I'm not alone with this and I think it's getting ignored because most people don't have the problem.
Even after the MR, I'm still having 100% Awake problems.
Yesterday I did the following.
1. Flashed back to stock rom.
2. Allowed the phone to perform the OTA MR update
3. Updated PRL and Profile.
4. Rooted phone using asroot2 process.
5. Installed Optimized/Zipaligned Apps found in this forum.
I then installed a random selection of my preferred apps. I did not log into any of the social networks on the phone itself. Facebook, Twidroid, Peep, Seemic are all on the phone but either not logged into or not set to update automatically. GPS is on, bt and wifi are not.
The only widgets I'm running is the normal clock/weather, big calendar, music player, and gps/wifi/bt toggles. Everything else is shortcuts and such. I'm using Gmail app for my mail, the stock messaging app for sms, and the stock browser. I'm syncing with Google for mail, contacts, and calendar. I have no other email accounts set up.
This was the 3rd time going through this process. The phone lasts roughly 24 hours with great low awake times, then suddenly starts climbing. A reboot will of course reset it so it shows 100% awake.
Things I've tried.
Installed Spare Parts and sorted by all sorts of things. Android System seems to be the biggest offender. Real vague.
Installed the Terminal app and tried to run top. Nothing seems to be taking up an abnormal amount of CPU but I don't know how accurate this thing is.
Obviously I've tried this 3 times and attempted to keep all widgets and other things that constantly update away from use but it doesn't stop.
I have shied away from task killers seeing how that's the normal reaction in this forum, that they're bad and I'm not sure they are a good idea.
My buddy has the exact same phone, way more widgets and things running, and his has been running for days without ever going over 25% Awake. We've went through all of our setting and installed apps and widgets etc, and cannot find a good reason for this.
I'm hoping to get some recognition for the problem. Maybe if others have the problem, we can try to see if we can come up with a fix.

Suggestions
Check the apps you have installed, some of the ones i liked say they 'keep the phone from sleeping' during installing. Just because you aren't running an app doesn't mean it's not running in the background. I would suggest you uninstall ALL external apps and test your phone for 24 hours after a full charge and see if that is the problem.
Another problem i had was i never gave my battery the proper charge when i bought the phone. I got much better performance from my batter by running it down to where it would not turn on then completely charged it without interruption. I repeated this 3 times in a row and my battery lasts much longer now.
I would also suggest to flash your phone with the fresh ROM .6b After doing this my phone was amazingly fast and excellent sleep times.
Currently Pulled Status:
After 48:15:00 Up Time Only Awake Time 13:01:00 (27%)

I'm aware of that app thing but I will say that I haven't installed any apps to speak of today. The only thing I installed today was a widget for turning the ringer off but I uninstalled that. Of course, that *could* be the problem.
Other than that, I haven't installed any apps today so you'd think that anything that would cause 100% Awake would have happened yesterday as well. Granted, that's an assumption and something best proven so tonight I will flash to stock + the OTA MR and leave it alone. We'll see if the phone with zero apps installed in basically stock form flips to 100% awake tomorrow or not.
I tried Fresh yesterday and it made no difference. Granted, I put it on top of a phone that already was at 100% Awake but still. I also don't care for what's installed/removed on the rom either. I would love to have my stock rom + rooted + removed apps + optimized apps and call it a day. I can hope right?

I was having the same problem as you...
I did a factory data reset after I applied the MR.
Then rooted
Then installed fresh .6
my phone has been sleeping like a baby ever since (over 1 week now).
Hope that helps...

I tried Fresh .6b but it didn't help. Granted, I applied it after the 100% awake problem hit. I don't really care for Fresh though.. but I might try it after I do a few experiments.

Bah.. I gave up on the experiment idea and went ahead and did this.
Flashed to stock
OTA MR upgrade
Rooted
Flashed Fresh .06 ROM
Flashed Optimized/Zipaligned apps
Only apps installed are Seesmic, SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Logs Backup & Restore.
I will leave it at that for now. It will get a full charge tonight and hopefully I'll see more than a 24 hour run of good idle time.

I can say that sms problem is also persists.
And i found out that i have SMS problem only when there is 0 in incoming number. If sender have number without ZERO - it works just fine.
Nice fix from sprint -) I think they do not test it at all

I am running the MR + rooted, and have *NO* issues whatsoever with texting... and I have sent and received plenty of messages to/from people with a zero in their phone number.

Could be a total coincidence but I was texting someone with a zero in their number when my awake time started climbing. But I had also been texting all morning with another person with a zero in their number and it waited until around 3:30 to start acting up.

make sure you look for the following
settings>applications>deveolopment
(uncheck stay awake)
if this is checked, your phone WILL NOT SLEEP when plugged in.
to avoid any silliness make you check the awake time when it is NOT plugged in.
...Just sayin

I understood your message, but i STILL have SMS problem on 2 HERO after MR update. Thats a pitty

Well folks, I thought I had the problem licked but last night it came back. On Monday morning, I did the following:
1) RUU back to stock
2) applied voice mail and MR update
3) rooted phone and applied optimized apk & clear screen mod
It was working so well until last night when I was playing with the wireless and wired tether apps. After I *uninstalled* those apps, the phone would not go back to sleep. I'm getting sick of this but will not be resetting my phone. Hopefully an update will come out soon to resolve this.

Yesterday I decided I didn't care for the Fresh .6 rom and went back to my experiment idea.
I flashed the stock RUU back onto it, let it do the OTA update for the firmware, and then installed only Handcent and Seesmic to keep from using the stock SMS/twitter clients just in case.
I signed into Google for my Gmail, contacts, and calendar and left all the update settings alone. I turned on GPS satellites, and I signed into the Facebook integration on the phone so I could get the photos/bdays/status updates in People.
That's all I did. No rooting, no additions, nothing. I removed all widgets except for the clock/weather and the big calendar. Everything else was deleted, I only have the 6 shortcuts on the first home screen.
I went to bed with between 1:15-1:30 awake time. I woke to 4:45 wake time and climbing. Sometime around 5am it stopped being idle and is now climbing steadily toward 100% awake time. Obviously I wasn't using the phone, I received no phone calls or text messages, and it was charging.
This is frustrating.

did you just totally ignore my post or what?

Yes I ignored it because it did not pertain to the issue at hand. If you had read my entire post, you would see that it had, on all previous times, went from idle to 100% awake while off the charger. Last night was the first time it ever went awake in the middle of the night and it only happened 3 hours before I woke up meaning that it had been on the charger for 5 hours previous without being awake.
Also, that option isn't even checked by default. The only way it would be checked is if you were too stupid to read the text next to it. Needless to say, mine is not checked.
So no, never once in the time of having his phone has that setting been turned on. This issue is not related to your post in the least.

well just for ****s and grins.... retest with it not being plugged in. just to rule out even the remote possibility of that being the issue.
EDIT: also if you are really hard set on figureing out what is causeing it do a stock RUU, then update it.... then don't touch it... at all, no market apps, no enableing anything.... then test
if good, then add a variable.... use scientific method of figureing out what is wrong. Don't just test with a random set of variables and hoping someone might guess at what might be the issue.
from the information you gave.... my money is on the charger causeing it. I may be just totally wrong, but my track record is being right most of the time with this type of troubleshooting.... but if you want a second opinoin... by all means... and a tip of the hat to you sir

I'd say you're wrong because I'm not experiencing the issue at all.
Since the OP's phone and my own are similarly modded, I'm thinking that it has something to do with his own personal info (contacts, calendar, etc.)... because I have NO issues.
I use HTC Peep to update/view Twitter.
I use Handcent for SMS/MMS.
In contrast to the OP's phone, my phone has a ton of stuff installed (25 free apps from the Market, last I checked)... yet my awake times are consistently <30%.

Except, again.. of the 4 times I've reloaded this and had the 100% awake time, only once has it happened on the charger. So I find that theory a bit weak. I suppose it could be, but still.. seems a bit odd that, for instance, it would wait until 3:30 in the afternoon (7 + hours after coming off the charger) to act up.
I'm currently stock + 2 apps which should eliminate the supposed leak with the SMS that some people still claim is happening. But I will flash the stock RUU and then the OTA MR and leave it alone. I'm still going to use the functions of the phone though. I see no reason why syncing with Google or facebook or using peep should matter since those are on the phone from the get-go and intended to be used. I'm sure everyone on here who has no problems at all has a lot more things turned on than I do right now.
For instance, X99Percent and I have compared settings. He has WAY more widgets running, WAY more programs installed, and is signed into all the social networks. Yet he can use his phone for days with normal idle time. I might make it 24 hours, or in the case of yesterday, about 14 hours, before going to 100% awake.
I'm convinced it has a lot more to do with something wrong with the phone itself or a software bug than anything else. And if you notice, I'm not alone in this problem, there's others complaining about it on here and on PPCGeeks.

Native Email Program Issue

Hi All,
I have been experiencing poor battery life with my N1 - until I stumbled across the issue.
Now I am trying to figure out how to fix the issue.
Basically; I have 3 email accounts setup (1 push to corporate exchange and 2 pop3 accounts).
What I have noticed is that randomly the email accounts will fail to receive emails and when going into the email app the loading circle (or whatever it is called) just spins and spins indefintely. This obviously results in usage of the phone (i.e. not sleeping) and the phone heats up and battery goes down v.quickly.
Now, I know I have sufficient network coverage as I am able to surf and use other network required programs - so it does not appear to be due to not being able to get a data connection.
Has anyone come across this issue before?

yeah I have this issue too... its pretty annoying.

Ok thats comforting...sort of. Atleast it is not specific to me then. Sounds like a bug?
What do you do about it?

i have a similar issue...my pop mail...just wont receive email...it looks, and stops...but no email...its not draining my batt btw

Slightly different in that mine looks and looks and looks and just keeps doing so - until it has drained by battery as best it can. Most of the time I have realised as the phone gets hot due to not sleeping. So I can kill it off.
Quite annoying however. As email is fundamental program with these types of phones.
Is there somewhere on Googles site where we I can inform them of this issue?

Exchange Push Users with Froyo

I discussed this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713392&page=7
If you are an Exchange Push user on Froyo experiencing significant battery drain and frequent if not constant 3G connection I found that you must turn Push Off and then back On.
This resolved the rapid battery drain and constant 3G connection issue I experienced. Just for your information.
I think this was a result of the Update rather than Fresh Install, it accompanied many settings I had to re-do.

Exchange - I take it back. Resetting exchange did not fix my issue. On Eclair, the push email would not keep the network always connected. On Froyo exchange push is running the CPU at 20% constantly and keeping 3G connection going.
Not sure how to stop that, but it only occurs when I turn on Push. And this definitely was not here before. Thanks to this my battery goes from Full to gone in a few hours. I have since turned off push email.

This happened periodically on Eclair for me as well - just "clear data" for the email app and set the exchange server up again. Seems to fix it when it creeps up from time to time.
On a side note battery life w/push on Froyo has been better so far. With 2 push accounts I am now losing < 1% / hr when sitting idle (overnight). On Eclair it was just shy of 2% so this was a nice improvement.

I have now done a full factory restore and reinput the Exchange Push account information.
It is still at 17% CPU usage and keeps the 3G connection on constantly.
This simply did not happen before, and is draining my battery rapidly.
Update:
As if to prove my point again, once I set the email from Push to Pull every 15 minutes the CPU load dropped down to 0% and the 3G connection stopped cycling. Not sure why this is happening. Is anyone else noticing that Push keeps 3G constantly active and phone runs really hot?

SO FRUSTRATED!
Please someone else tell me they are experiencing this with Froyo Exchange.
I am not able to stop exchange from cycling 3G and Email runs a huge CPU percentage and the phone heats up continually until the battery dies.
Is anyone else on exchange seeing this problem????

Hello All -
I know I continue to post on this but I am really hoping some of you that are smarter than me can help me out.
On 2.1 - Exchange would get can email, my 3G arrows would cycle, the email would show up. That is all.
On 2.2 - Exchange does not get email, 3G arrows ALWAYS cycle and the cpu is running constantly. The phone last night was over 100 degrees.
To experiment, I installed Touchdown. Exchange works perfectly. No 3G or CPU issues. It does not constantly sync.
A few items I noticed:
1) SyncManager for Email is the culprit and causing the problems
2) My corporate email is ActiveSync or MS Exchange 2007
3) I have read elsewhere that this is Exchange constantly trying to check the server and it gets stuck in a loop.
Please friends, this is going to cause me to have to give up my phone. I dont want that. I want my native Exchange to work. Any ideas at all?

I'm having another issue (and it's being tracked on android official support board)..
Whenever I use PUSH for exchange, it works fine. Yeah it keeps connection alive, but doesn't really use the battery that much.
However, if I switch from PUSH to some interval (5, 10 minutes, etc), sync manager gets stuck. It'll eat up 50% CPU CONSTANTLY until battery is dead. Switching back to PUSH fixes it immediately.
Google assigned an engineer to this problem, but nothing yet.

Do you have the link to the tracking of this? I think this is the same thing happening to me, SyncManager getting stuck and just running up the process until the phone dies.

Hmm.. strange, I can't find it now.. Last time I checked it, first 2.2 was released.
Maybe it's fixed and closed now? I've enabled 10-minute sync in my exchange, I'll see if it still gets stuck in FRF82.

I wonder if any smart network Dev out there can tell us why SyncManager is getting stuck trying to work with our Exchange Servers?

Ok Friends Help me out with this.
I installed OS Monitor.
With my exchange running it says:
"07/01/2010 13:07:27 [DEBUG]
NativeCrypto915860

Update: almost all day on 10-minute update with Exchange (and I barely have any reception here, goes from 0 bars to 2 bars and back).. sync is NOT using up CPU at all, and mail is working fine. Looks like it's fixed?

After much hassle I think my issue now has to do with my IT having self-signed certificates rather than purchasing them. This means they would have to update it to work with whatever Froyo did in exchange security. I think this is why it works initially then goes into a loop of OpenSSL attempts.
This is my only guessing from half-truths and limited understanding of the series of tubes.
I would really appreciate anyone out that understands this stuff chiming in on what is going on?

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9455
got a google code issue going in case anyone else runs up against this openssl infinite loop.

I am having both issues. When I use push, the phone stays warm and the battery drains in a few hours. If I switch from push to poll, no improvement - but if I reboot with poll setting, it works fine.
My company uses Active Sync with Exchange 2003 and I doubt we would use self-signed certs.
By the way I am running 2.2 on a G1 with Cyanogen ROM.

I have a funny issue with my exchange. When i get a new mail, i get a notification on my N1. But even after i have read that email on my PC.The notification doesnt go away .... and when i check my phone after some time i think i have recieved a new email but its only notification of old one .... is there a workaround for that guys ?
Cheers

Nice thread hijack

I have an Exchange 2010 server setup with a non-trusted cert from CAcert.org and don't have that issue using Push on Froyo.
I assume you enabled the option "Accept all SSL certificates" when configuring the account?

I did in fact "accept all" and I have been working with many google developers as of last week to figure out what is going on.
It is not actually IT, it seems it is an OS issue as more and more people are seeing this issue come up.
P.S. to the notification comment above, that is normal. dont hijack my thread.

Cell Standby

Not sure if it's just me or not but has anyone noticed a cell standby issue too? My phone gets up to around 20% while I sleep which is weird because in my room I have four bars... so is it my device or does anyone else havt the same issue?

I did notice this myself. I would go to sleep with 95% and wake up with 70%.
So went to Settings/Accounts and Services/ and turned off Background Data.
Went to sleep last night with 97% and woke up this mornin' (nah na na nuh) with 94%. The gmail app seems to hammer the data. And I have found no scheduling within that app. Stock app has scheduling gonna try that and report back.
btw: with background data off and you go to the market it wants it on so I'll turn it on and back off after.
good day.

My cell standby floats around 11% at all times.
I find this to be acceptable.
My battery life has been satisfactory.

As long as this means my gmail/text/gtalk works automatically, I figure I may as well leave this off.
I don't use any syncing apps like Facebook, our anything like that.

I should have thought of this before. Turning off now, we'll see what happens. Also does anyone else notice flaky 3g connection mine is weird, a lot of the time my 3g bar just says 3g with a d under it instead of arrows and my signal fluxuates quite frequently verdict for you guys?

Ah, screw this.
Market doesn't work without it turned on and neither does the Yahoo Mail app.
That wouldn't be such a big deal if I wasn't bothered by Yahoo with a notification tray icon telling me to turn it on.

The d under the 3g bar is like a 3g "idle" icon if u will. But i have had a lot of issues with service and 3g. I rarely get above 2 bars and if i do its only for a short while. I lose 3g more often than i would like and get the dreaded 1x though it usually switches right back. I absolutely love this phone but the constantly having weak signal is killing my experience. Am i the only one struggling for service?

Nope, same here. Just left the Verizon store for the second time for this issue & connection errors with the Samsung email app. Their fix for this? "No one's having these problems that we know of. Let's try another PRL list."

I've encountered problems with the stock e-mail app on several Android phones.
There's seemly no answer to why it works and then doesn't work.
You'll find numerous threads suggesting you use K9, or some other 3rd party e-mail application for many POP3 e-mail addresses.
My main e-mail is a GMail, so that's a convenience for me.
I also use a Yahoo and before the Yahoo Mail app from the Market, I would also have trouble with the Android e-mail application from time to time.

According to the battery monitor, Cell standby is using a lot of my battery. Seems like this started happening more once I flashed the voodoo kernel and overclocked to 1.2 GHz, and put the "kickstand" case on my phone. I'm going to run fora few more days and see if it's consistently bad, and if so, I'll try taking the case off first to see if it gets better.
For instance this morning it says Cell standby has used 33% of my battery, it's been on for 11 hours, and I haven't charged in about 6 hours. I've dropped to 62% battery capacity, with the screen mostly off and not using the phone in those 6 hours. It says my time without a signal is 23%, I've seen it as high as 40%... I don't get very good signal in my apartment, but this seems wayyyy worse than it should be. I did a *228 update yesterday but that doesn't seem to have helped.

thanks, was wondering why battery drop 20% even when i set to airplane mode before bed.

btw: with background data off and you go to the market it wants it on so I'll turn it on and back off after.
good day.

Disregard what I said. That statement was made before a root. I significantly improved battery by rooting, purchasing titanium pro and freezing all things verizon and countless other apps that came on the phone.

My cell standby stays high at my home as time without a signal is between 45% to 65%. My battery life is horrible because of this. I am unrooted...

Sounds like a background process is hogging. See this post. Hope it helps find your problem.

[Android 4.3 Bug] Messaging app draining my battery!

I sideloaded the 4.3 update in my Nexus 4 (non-rooted, full stock) last night. Everything went well... until I noticed the battery draining fast, way faster than on 4.2. The culprit seems to be the stock Messaging app. Does anyone has any problem like this after updating to 4.3? I have a screenshot:

Do you think doing a factory reset would help? It seems I'm not the only one with the issue since a very recent ticket describing the same situation (alhought far less worst in terms of draining than mine) was submited here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58149 . I already stared and replayed with my situation in the issue.
Thanks!

I also had something with 4.2.2
For me it was Bluetooth: 48d 6h 23s running.
I think that's just miscalculation.

I definitely noticed a battery drain but didn't check what was causing it... On a fresh cycle now so I'll post more later tonight but interested in whether others are noticing the drain as well

With a full charge, after 15 hours and with only 1 hour screen time, i.e. barely used it, the battery went to 40%. I'm going to believe the report of the battery since this battery draining isn't normal at all.

I've got this issue, too. Thanks for the tracker link, I've starred it.

try reflashing 4.3 and clear cache before you do it.

you're right. try otherwise only clear cash of the message app? and then restart the app.

I factory-reseted it in the Recovery and apparently it is solved. So if anyone has this problem just try a factory reset.

Its unreceived mms try to be pushed in. Just turn on data, and send a mms to urself. Wait to receive ur mms and other peoples mms.
DONE! ?

Wakelock detector definitely points to MMS Connectivity as the problem, but no one is trying to send me MMS, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Same problem here does anyone have a fix on this ?

Thanks, but i dont wanna loose data and im not sure if my gps software that i bought(navigon europe from playstore )will still work

Anyone got an idea how to fix this without doing a factory reset ?

Erasing all my SMS/MMS directly via the app has made disappear the toast notifications when just booted and the app is not consuming more CPU than expected... Hope it will help!

Delete!
Deleting all messages from within the application has worked for me. Thanks! :good:

I've just noticed exactly the same, default messaging app on about 6hr 50 after 7hr off charge. I never use my for MMS as never got it working correctly.
However I've fixed it for now by disabling the default message app and installing GoSMS. Battery has dropped about 1% in the last 2 hrs

MMS connectivity comes back again

Hi I tried all the above, including a factory reset, and then disabled mobile data. This immediately stopped the messaging app from running between 0.2 - 0.9% CPU constantly.
Deleting all messages seems to have no permanent effect, after sending another long SMS, the problem returns and I see Messaging constantly running in Watchdog even after the SMS has long been sent. No MMS is ever sent or received.
The only solution seems to be to disable mobile data, but I need this running at all times. I have already removed all the redundant APN's and also removed all traces of MMS server information from the current APN that I am using. Yet as soon as mobile data is available, immediately Messaging starts to consume CPU for no good reason.
I have even tried a modded mms.apk and also Xposed framework to stop long SMS's being split up into MMS messages but this has no effect either.
All these things including deleting messages, is temporary, only for the issue to return.
Is there a way we can get a modded mms.apk for those people who really don't want MMS, so that it never tries to start connecting to MMS server each time data is enabled? Its infuriating that its starting to try and connect constantly when it hasn't been told do so, its draining battery, and doesn't seem to be sophisticated enough to know that there is nothing to connect to so it should stop trying (as all MMS information has been removed from the APN)?
Thanks....

My only solution was to stop the default app and use either Handscent or GoSMS. I tested Go but ended up with handscent as I didn't like the way Go recorded recent contacts history.
Either way, problem fixed but would prefer to use stock

I discovered this issue on my 3 day old Nexus 4 today. Very frustrating. 2 hour and 15 minute wakelock for "MMS Connectivity" accounting for 42% of my battery drain.
