Hi everyone
I have a strange problem since a couple of days. If turn my HD2 off (standby) the wifi connection remains alive. This naturally is a massive battery drain and the only thing I can do, is to manually turn it of whenever I don't need it. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
After this problem appeared I thought I might have accidentally turned on the WiFi Standby tweak in BsB Tweaks. It appears turnoff in BsB Tweaks. So I thought I might try turning it on an then off again to clean up the registry, but I don't seem to be able to turn it on so it sticks. I'm thinking maybe BsB Tweaks isn't actually showing whether it's turned on or not. Does anyone know the reg-key concerned, so I can check manually whether it's turned on.
Thanks for your help

I have exactly the same problem. Have you found a solution?
I had this problem today where it constantly kept trying to connect and my battery went from 73% to 4% within a few hours, even though i selected cancel.
do you have bsbtweaks installed? there is a tweak in there that lets wifi stay on when on standby, perhaps that is active?
this is not issue this is normal , as they make the end key closes the screen they should have stretched the wifi turn off time after standby so wait from 2-3 minuites after going to stand by and you will find it closed automatically

it was doing exactly how you say before, but it now never disconnects. I keep forgetting to turn it off and it's such a battery killer. "keep wifi connection in standby" is not active under BSB Tweaks by the way.

Check this registry value...
HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms:HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended
It should be 0 to turn off wifi when in standby.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Ignore the space in "HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended" above. It's this forum - it's always doing that
I've found this:
HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms:SuspendOffDelayInterval
I've set it from default 30000(30 seconds) to 5000 (5 seconds) and WiFi does restart when I power-on after 5 seconds.

that didn't help me, still stays connected in standby.
This thread is interesting. I, on the other hand, would like to keep wifi ON while in standby (with screen off). For certain programs such as Pandora, I would like it playing in the background but have my screen off.
I am having the opposite issue. I can't seem to make it do that given the tips I found already on this thread.
I tried changing the following from 0 to 1 but noticed that when I poweroff phone, it goes back to being 0. Can anyone help me out? Sorry I don't mean to take over your thread. Maybe I should start a new similar thread with an opposite meaning..

Hey guys,
i am on latest CM9 quarx build..but my phone is not going into deep sleep atall
it says 0% deep sleep in CPUspy...tat has become a headache..i was on epi CM(..there also it had come problem..then installed latest quarx build..then it was going into deep sleep unto few hrs ago..now it says 0% deep sleep.
I cant few detailed battery drinking info on ICS unlike GB..
Any help would be appreciated name of the app..or advice..or any kind of help will do..
Thank you
Try editing your build.prop and adding
Code:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
Don't know if this will help , but in the event that it doesn't , try ending processes before locking the phone , or use some system analyzer to see what app is stopping deep sleep
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
thanks but i did a full data wipe and reinstalled everything from scratch..later restored apps with the help of titanium backup
its pain in the ass to do everything from scratch...anyways if still i face this problem then will report back..anyways could anyone suggest me some apps which can findout which app or process is the culprit?
Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I had the same problem on CM7 120126.2206, and it turned out that Google Maps was the culprit. However, I discovered that Google Maps doesn't prevent the phone from going into deep sleep when the GPS is disabled. Try disabling GPS whenever you're not using it, and see if that helps.
Edit: after further testing, it seems that Google Maps may not have been the culprit after all, or I may have more than one problem with deep sleep. Occasionally the phone gets locked out of deep sleep even when GPS is turned off; yesterday it failed to enter deep sleep even while the phone was untouched for 4 hours. The "BetterBatteryStats" app indicated listed "wifi_wake" under Kernel Wakelocks as the primary culprit. Disabling then re-enabling wifi solved the problem, at least temporarily.
I have the screen off, and every 15 or 20 minutes, the screen will turn back on to the lock screen until the sleep timer goes off again. How can I figure out what this is? I thought it was a lock widget updating (Agenda Widget) but even with no lock widgets it sometimes comes back on. I thought it was location services from some app (Prey, etc.) because sometimes immediately upon wake there's a little location notification icon but I turned that off and no help. Sometimes there's a Gmail icon, but I've tested it where I clear all my notifications, and then on my laptop, I send an email and I get the audio notification, but no wakeup. I'm stumped and it's quite annoying, can anybody help?
I do think it's location-based. I've turned off location pinging in as many apps as I can see (Prey, FB, etc.) even though global location was already off and now it's about once every 40 minutes that it wakes on its own.
anybody?
I would download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
If you don't want to buy it (and I really recommend you do) search on this forum about how to fix partial wake locks. There's a lot of info on how to fix this.

Thanks, I have that installed now, and am monitoring, I'll update with more info later, but thanks for the lead. I'm supposed to be looking for partial wakelocks since unplugged, right?
So I get these wakelocks for some reason, about 2-10 minutes of Audioout_2 and Audioout_3 per hour when idle, with screen off.
And they seem to show up as wakelocks, even if I have my phone active. So I get like 47minutes of this wakelock, but awake time is 56:27minutes and screen on 54 minutes. And this is not the problem until you see how much of this wakelock has kept your phone awake after 24 hours, I had like 3-5 hours. Should I be worried?
APP - Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats.
What I have tried - Uninstalling Viber, no difference. Disabling all lock sounds, touch sounds, dial pad tones, not much difference either.
I didn't have this before, what could it be?
Android 4.3 Stock, not rooted
I seem to be having the same issue. I'm running on stock 4.3, no rooting, I do not have Viber, and while I do have Skype installed, I almost never use it. I have haptic feedback disabled as well as touch sounds.
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the issue, but that's obviously a bit of a pain to do every time.
Other than maybe blaming Poweramp for keeping the wakelock going, I can't think of any other apps that could be causing the issue.

After you reboot when does the issue seem to come back? What apps are you usually using?
Do you have any of these apps - Light Manager, DashClock Widget, Smart Wifi toggler.*
*These apps have no deal with audio wakelocks whatsoever, but still, maybe 4.3 has caused one of those apps to use the audio wakelocks somehow.

My main apps are Gmail, Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, BaconReader and Poweramp. After rebooting the length of the wakelock time definitely isn't as long. And yes, I do have DashClock Widget. I didn't consider that one to be a potential culprit.

I have the same problem.
I noticed that audioout_2 only runs when my screen is on.(most of the time)
The audioout_2 run time and SOT are always close.
The audioout_2 and audioout_3 will not run (very minimum) when your cell goes into deep sleep.
I have mostly Google apps installed.
Edit: After searching on internet,Many users told these wakelocks can be caused if there is a corrupted mediafile (picture,music,video)..
Need a solution for this.

What do you mean corrupted mediafile, like unsupported MP3 file? Could that be a problem? God dammit, this is too complicated.
I have only a few pictures that I have taken with the phone, no videos. Only music could be related.
So I yesterday turned on location services, the results I got were pretty bad. I am not 100% sure that the issue is location services, but I did not have this bad screen_on - awake ratio before. Here are some screens.
I didn't do anything unusual, I might report back tomorrow about results w/o location services.
I left only GPS setting active in location settings. Here are the results.
6hours phone on, Battery left 87%.
55:31min awake, 38min screen on.
1013 wakelock usage 32:12min.
I played a few games, made some calls for the time when screen was awake.
I would call this a success, because usually I could barely make through a day, almost 3hours screen on in 12hour period. And the battery is dead.

What was your solution? So far my current one is to reboot when I wake up in the morning.

I disabled Wi-Fi & mobile network location in Location access settings. But I am not entirely sure that this is a solution.
I am very confused with all this Android and Nexus 4 problem amount and uncertainty, I am not even sure what to believe anymore. I am starting to wish I had bought an iPhone. Maybe it was because I was at just at home and in a city mainly, and the cellphone just didn't have to look for different cell towers, I am not sure what should I even think anymore.
But currently this has helped me, I guess. Disadvantages of this might be that the phone will not be able to select the best server available when indoors... I'm just so tired of Android.
I can't shake off this stupid wakelock, it keeps my phone awake, Android is soo annoying, I would probably never notice this if it weren't for the battery usage apps, but I would notice the horrible battery life on Nexus 4.
Has anyone had this problem and made it go away? Or is still having, and just got through with it and ignores it? Please help me!
I think I had 0 amount of this wakelock in the first few days I got these battery status apps, I had only a few Media, Caldendar, Gmail etc. wakelocks
The wakelocks are caused by the touch sounds that are enabled by default.
Everytime you touch a button on your phone it will make a sound, which will initiate the wakelock. Turn off these sounds in:
Settings -> Sound -> Touch Sound
You can also 'hear' the wakelock, because when you hold the back speaker of the phone to your ear when a sound was just played, you will hear some static noise for ~2-3 seconds after the sound finished playing.
When you listen to music or watching a video you will also get these wakelocks, but that's completely normal.

+1 to that
Even if u have ur dialpad to sound off. Go ahead and type numbers in like crazy then check the wakelocks!
Even if u have turned that option to OFF.

Right, did You have that before? Or it just turned up recently, I don't remember having this much wakelocks, and why are ''wakelocks'' wakelocks when you are using your phone and the screen is on?
I noticed that if I don't have internet access, the wakelock doesn't come up as much. It's some kind of app, maybe, it very much could be one of Google's, It ain't Viber (for me), I have tried disabling, turning it off, no change in wakelock amount.

I just checked that now
To be honest i'm in the same condition u are in. I don't know whats causing these. Try greenifying Google+, Google Now etc. They have helped me a bit in saving some... Google+ updates/syncs, and that makes a wakelock as well.

I have set syncing and updating google apps to the minimum already. Google Now is not active.
Does other android phones like Galaxy S3, S4, HTC One also have this bad battery life, or is it Nexus 4 specific?

Do You have Flash Player installed on Your Android device?
This is really weird, I restart the phone, use gmail, and some other apps, turn off screen, check for wake locks, no Audio wake lock at all, I open Chrome, use it a little and then check for wake locks and it has appeared and is at at the top, also other wakelocks have increased count.
Also another matter, I notice a little pop in the speakers sometimes, even though I have set to vibrate only mode.
EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE SCREEN THE SPEAKER TURNS ON, it is just quietly hissing, you need to be in complete silence to hear this. This is definitely causing a big battery drain, I need to fix this ASAP. Anyone has a clue?
Turned off touch sounds, hissing has disappeared. But it literally started hissing after I press anywhere on the screen, even though only a few buttons make a touch sound.
Got to stop typing now, my hands are burning when I'm using Google chrome on my nexus 4...
I disabled Google+ Notifications through Google+(app) > Settings > google account > notifications
And I turned off all Sounds, from Dial pad touch tones to screen lock sound and vibrate on touch. Now I had tried this before the Google+, but I still had the issue with the wakelock.
I get little to none of this wakelock, also turned off google+ backup feature. Disabled some sync options in google account.
But basically I get a lot less of this wakelock now, I am not entirely sure it was Google+, but I have been using the phone casually, as usual for 30+ Hours, charged once, and I get better battery life and much less of this wake lock, phone is mostly in sleep mode when screen is off, about 1-4 Minutes awake.
Now I don't guarantee anything, maybe it's some service that didn't start up this time, but I'm pretty sure that I had opened every app that I was using when I had the problem, this seems to have fixed the problem, see if it helps, if you are experiencing the same issue, and please let me know, thanks!
Oh and I have been using the phone's speaker indeed, for games, Youtube app, Chrome etc. and Received calls, messages, notifications.
Any solution? I'm still having this 1013 wakelock without apparent cause..
