So, my battery has been draining ridiculously fast and I think I found the culprit. For some reason, my TF is running at 100% awake time. This isn't the case with my friend's TF, so it can't be normal.
My TF is not rooted or anything, so I don't know how this came about. Any ideas on how to clear this out?!
Thanks!
Have you tried a factory reset?
Sent from my captivate BLAZING on firefly 3.0
Factory Reset should indeed help, as I believe it's a rogue app or service that's keeping your device awake.
It would be a better idea to try and troubleshoot which app/service is the culprit so you can make sure it doesn't happen again.
To do this, search XDA for 'bathisgb.apk', which is a modified version of the "Spare Parts Battery History" function, and this will show you which processes are keeping the device awake. Run the app, then choose "Partial Wake Usage" from the dropdown list, and if any have large blue bars, those are your culprits.
Hope that helps!
I have Battery Monitor Widget app and SystemPanel to monitor. The only app that I discovered to be consuming more battery than I minded was Skype. I uninstalled it but it seems that the Awake time is still going. =/
Nobody else having/had this issue?!
I did have this issue and ran the battery history app referenced above. My problem seemed to be with Google Voice. I installed the version from XDA for honeycomb.
Now I need to figure out which is worse. Shorter battery life or no text message from the device.
I was having this issue as well... not sure if your still looking, but here is a link that helped me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-905650.html
I updated all the radios, prl, ect
Then wiped data/cache/dalvik
Then wiped ALL
then flashed the same ROM
ALL of this before rebooting using RA recovery.
Also, when checking the progress, make sure your not connected USB to your computer!!
Hope it helps someone....
I was having the same issue (100% awake time), and the problem for me was simple. I was using the Lock Screen App (Kenneth Cheng), which I am still successfully using on my android smartphones, and that app seems for unknown reasons unable to put the Honeycomb on sleep like it does with previous versions of android.
I was also thinking at complicated scenarios, did factory reset the TF twice etc. but always used to install that app among the firsts ones cause it saves the hardware power button from aging to quick (which happened on my HTC Desire).
If you are using any app of that kind, it might be your answer too.

Damn, I like Lock Screen too. Did you manage to find another app that does the same thing without causing the Transformer to not enter sleep?
EDIT: nevermind, it looks like "Screen Off and Lock" doesn't have the awake bug that Lock Screen app has so using that on my Transformer now.

Just recently (yesterday), I've noticed that I've been getting about 50% awake time without even touching my phone. I'm not quite sure what should be the root of this, but it is murder on my battery.

From the Home Screen click on the Menu > Settings > Applications > Running Services
See what is currently running when you are not doing anything with the phone. One huge offender of power I found was an app called SportsTap. It would constantly run in the background even with notifications turned off and drain me dry.
Any idea what HTC DM is? I don't seem to have any out-of-place apps running, and I have a task killing widget (Auto Task Killer, but it isn't set to auto-kill). I just use that on boot and every once in a while.

Mine has been 50% for a while, and battery life has been around 8-10hrs. But all of a sudden right now it's only 1/8th not sure what I changed. I'm gonna see how the battery life ends up now.
I don't have any awake time issues.
I dont use any task killer.
Damn it. Today my awake time is at almost 79%. I can actually feel the phone getting warm. I don't have any processes running that seem out if place. Everything seemed to be working fine late last night, but now it is worse than ever.

Go to the market and downlaod Spare Parts. Within that app you v=can check specifically under "partial wake" and it will tell you your awake time and what exactly is causing it.
Ok, my Spare Parts stats:
Partial wake usage is led by Calender followed by Android System.
Network usage is led by some "0" process followed by "UID 10006." Both of these processes FAR surpass any of the others. Also, thier usage is almost exclusively "blue" (I'm assuming this is while asleep).

Are any of you running the following apps:
Engadget
Sports Tap
Stock Messaging App
I ask because I've had issues of battery drain with all 3. The stock messaging app was/is a well known battery killer. I simply enter into the settings screen, turn everything off and download and use Handcent. Much more full featured and works flawlessly.
Regarding Sports Tap, it also runs constantly in the background and sucks battery as I believe the Engadget app does as well. These are only my findings and YMMV.

I have Engadget, and I've used it since it came out. I will installed it the day I got my EVO and didn't have my issues til recently. It doesn't show up as ever running in the task killer, but I will try deleting it, though.
I installed Spare Parts and saw that my phone was never sleeping, even though it was on standby all the time.
This was caused by the location by antenna feature.
Ever since i unchecked that feature i've had around 50-60 hours of uptime, with a few calls and a lot of texts.
hope this helps alot others
With the new firmware the problem of battery dissapears completely
There is a known issue with network location detection in android 1.6. I had the same issue with my galaxy and it was solved. Now that we have root, we can hopefully do the same.
Also, br aware that I have found spare parts to actually stop the phone from sleeping, as well as tapatalk. I suggest rebooting after using either program.

Actually that issue is fixed in the latest update so it's already fixed without needing root.
Which firmware? I know I'm still experiencing it.
RBA020 solved the battery issues for me.
Where in spare parts does it show you if your phone has been sleeping?
you don't need spare parts. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* and click battery history and then the running bar.

I know from having a Samsung galaxy and being part of the androidforums community that was going nuts until Simone found a bug report with Google saying that network location was stopping devices from sleeping. We had root so a Dev applied a patch to services.odex and voila! Phones were napping again.

Update after turning location off completely
Well first run with all location methods disabled (I can still enable GPS quickly via a widget when I need to use it)... the battery performance is up phenomenally!!
I charged fully before going to bed last night, then kept the phone unplugged... woke up and found the battery was at 97%. This has never happened to me.
Ok, one thing tho, I use Juice Defender with night time schedule, so my wifi and 3G were off during most of the night. Anyways, its been around 3 hours since I woke up, and I've been using the phone on and off to do some browsing.
The battery is now at 93%.
I do not use any other aid other than Juice Defender... no task killers, no startup editors. Will update on how the rest of the day progresses.
EDIT: my thanks to Inebriatef and adrianoftyriel for pointing this out.

I too would like to hear a bit more. Could the OP please elaborate?
I'm running the latest FW and although my battery life increased exponentially, I find that it's not going to sleep anymore! I had close to 50 hours battery life and now I repeat everything to get just under 20 hours.
I don't use task killers and crap anymore, just before I put my phone away. If I don't, I have a trillion programs running with like 40mb of RAM free. Although I understand this is Linux based, these programs are RUNNING and not idle. All my **** is draining the battery again after a clean reinstall of everything. What a bummer.

@bongd, by latest FW, do you mean the R2BA020? If yes, then you shouldn't be affected by the problem being reported here. I'm still on R1FB001, which apparently has this Android 1.6 bug related to location.
As in my case, simply by disabling location settings (even though this reports that network location is the culprit, I disabled them all), the phone is now able to suspend itself and basically consume very little battery in standby.
Personally, I dont see any issue with lot of applications running and having little RAM left because I trust the Android system to manage it efficiently. Furthermore, the RAM on these phones is not as fast as what you would see typically on desktop systems, so it actually helps having things around in memory rather than aggressively cleaning it out. Checkout this link to understand a bit more about Android task management features: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html
I suggest you use Spare Parts to isolate your battery drain, there might be some app that is misbehaving and hogging systems resources. Also turning off very frequent updates/refresh intervals in some applications is the way forward.
I found through trial and error that fancy widgets keeps my phone from sleeping.sad cause I really want to use it.

Thanks, j4mm3r. I am using R2BA020. It looks like I have some diagnostic troubleshooting to do when I get home.
Sitting here at work charging my phone, it isn't loading craploads of programs anymore. And it seems to be sleeping okay. I'll play around when I have some free time.
Fixed my problem big time
Hey guys,
I just wanted to throw my two cents into the pot.
OK – so after experimenting with Task Killers, Task Managers, Spare Parts, Juice Defender, etc. I came to the conclusion that they (for the most part) did more bad than good. It was getting to the point that I was just starting to accept that “The X10 just has ****ty battery life” end of story.
I also read in a Google released post on the web, that there are a number of reasons that Task Killers, etc. are actually not required to end tasks. Android actually has a fairly intelligent and systematic approach to killing tasks that are not being used. I haven’t used any sort of proprietary battery saver, task ender, startup cleaner, etc. and I’ve been having the best phone performance since I got the headset.
The time now (Eastern Standard) is 3:30pm on Monday. The last time I charged my phone was Saturday evening at 6pm, and currently I am showing 24% battery remaining. Let those numbers do the talking!
My settings are:
Wi-Fi always off unless I am going to be actively using it (browsing)
Using Phone info, I change WCDMA Preferred to GSM Only (enables 2g instead of 3g without disabling data altogether)
GPS always off
Screen settings, brightness, etc. I believe have a much smaller effect than people tend to believe. The SINGLE BIGGEST factors for me, and noticing this huge increase in battery life are:
Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update -> UNCHECK Automatic Search (this constantly searches the market, etc. for app updates and what not)
Cycle power immediately after charging. Once my phone completes its charge, I turn off and then on again.
I hope that some people can enjoy moderately extended battery life as I have. I am SO ecstatic to be at HOUR 43 and still at 20%+
Worth mentioning also that I am on Rogers (Canada) and have not received any updates, so this extended battery life is not a result of a firmware update.
How I Fixed My Batter Life Problem
My Incredible would run dead in about 4 hrs doing nothing. I finally dug into several "task killer" programs and found that about 20 - 30 apps were invisibily running in the background constantly. As soon as I permanently killed them, my battery life went to normal. I can now get about 2 days of normal use on 1 charge. Even a day of pretty heavy use will last almost all day.
So for me, it was all the new apps I installed when I first got the phone that were running in the background. The free "task killer" program was not showing them. I finally found the app called "System Panel." It was the ONLY app that would show me all the "invisible" apps that were still running invisibly in the background and let me kill them. Once I killed them with System Panel, they stayed dead and the free "task killer" program could auto-kill them from them on.
Not sure why the free programs could not see the rogue apps, but my battery life is GREAT now.

I'm running R2BA023 and I am struggling to get a full day from the phone at the moment. It normally lasts around 12 hours and then its flat.
However, I ran the Telenor R2BA020 update and I manage to get a full day with ease.
I have just done a clean install of R2BA023 Generic UK "root" edtion and going to see how I get on. What I did notice before is that the phone was not returning to a idle state.
Hey Everyone,
I saw a post about what i'm having issues with a few weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it. Essentially this what my problem with my Galaxy 10.1 32gig (stock wallpaper) with the new touchwiz update from a few weeks ago is:
The gallery app is killing my battery life. I charge from a dead battery to full, turn on the tablet, and let it sit over night, i lose 40%+ of the battery and i check the battery usage and the majority of it is because of the Gallery App (note, i never "used" it, its just running in the background).
This is a new problem (like 3-4 weeks), before i would lose just a couple of percent overnight, but now its just ridiculous.
EDIT: From what i remember of the other post, someone had mentioned that the gallery app is constantly monitoring rotation so its draining the battery? not quite sure
Thoughts? (I'm pretty darn sure its not my wallpaper as i've never changed it and this is a new issue)
I'm thinking about rma'ing the thing, its just pretty much unusable because the battery is dead so soon.
I'll also point out that i tried the battery recalibration that was posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215182&page=1)
Thanks!

I only have high gallery battery usage after a fresh flash of the rom, on my tab as well as on my SGS2! this is because the gallery app indices your pictures, as well as creating thumbnails...
so if you have lots of pictutes this would be quite normal, but only for a few hours!
I had this or similar problem. Download Terminal Emulator and type "top -n 1", you will see a list of processes and how much processor they are using. For me the problem was media process, it used over 30% all the time. Killing it fixed the problem for some time. I installed a leaked firmware and the problem went away. But i think that factory data reset could also fix the problem.
Perhaps you have your Gallery app synced with your Picasa account.
If you do, and you have WiFi running while in standby mode, it will drain.
Mine used to drain in the background.
I installed a widget to turn off WiFi when I'm not using my tablet.
My battery life is so much better.
I also disabled the Picasa sync for my Gallery app as well.

Install Spare Parts from the Market (assuming the ROM you're using is providing stats). When the Gallery is sucking battery you'll see excessive sensor usage under 'Battery History'. Partial Wake Usage is another good place to look if you suspect an errant app.
Edit: The 4.2.2 update seems like it fixed this wakelock from taking over. That's just my personal experience so let me know if yours is different from mine after the update.
I've searched and tried to find a solution to my problem, but I can't find anything. My main kernel wakelocks are sns_async_ev_wakelock and sns_periodic_wakelock and the time they both register is massive. This has been happening for at least a week, or at pretty much the entire time I started monitoring my wakelocks. Does anyone have any idea what these might be attached to? I originally thought they were pertaining to social networking services, so I promptly deleted the Facebook app and for a day it seemed to fix it. But then the wakelocks came back and were even worse.
Have others come across this problem and does anyone know what might be causing it? They've been preventing my phone from going into deep sleep and I would really like to reduce or get rid of them.
Updated info: I have determined that the game Asphalt 7 is at least one app responsible for massive sns wakelocks. As long as the game remains as a "recent app" it will continue to wake the phone up. Angry birds is another game possibly responsible for the wakelock as well as reddit sync. Anyone else that uses these apps regularly us encouraged to report back your findings. Using the phone prompts sns wakelocks, but the amount of time the phone contributes is identical to your talk time, so your phone is triggering a fake wakelock since the device isn't supposed to be in deep sleep while you're on the phone anyways. Right now the only fix I know of for the listed apps is to manually clear them from "recent apps".
Please include the rom and kernel you're using. So far it seems like a new kernel doesn't actually fix the problem when you're on the stock rom. So anyone on CM or PA, do you have this wakelock after having a game like asphalt 7 or angry birds sit in recent apps?

@OP,
Do you get this only when you call someone or get a call. In bbs, try a custom ref. setting and monitor for 1 hour where you were not getting/calling anyone and see if it is going down drastically. Also is the msm_hsic wakelock present for you a lot? [The custom kernels like franco, faux and others have fix for this, taken from patch commits done by qualcomm]

I talk on the phone for maybe an hour every day, so I would be surprised if it was associated with the phone since the wakelock time has been increasing this whole week while my phone time is relatively constant. Although I'm just taking the phone off the charger now and won't use it for calls for the next 2 hours, so I'll report back with what kind of wakelocks I'm getting as well was the apps I've used. As for msm_hsic_host wakelock, it is present but not as prevalent as the sns wakelocks. As you can see from the first picture I'm only getting about 20 minutes for that wakelock compared to the 4 hours of the others. If I remember correctly I ended the day with almost 5 hours for both sns and then an hour and a half for msm_hsic. So sns slowed down a bit and msm_hsic ramped up, but it didn't come close to overtaking sns

I was using it pretty normally. Had around an hour of talk time (cumulative over the day), texting throughout the day, streaming pandora for a little, checking emails, playing a game for a bit, and on sites like xda, reddit (through apps), and facebook (through chrome).
So far I haven't had any sns wakelocks today (well, nothing compared to what I recently had). The hisc wakelock is dominating now which seems more "normal". I only talked on the phone for a grand total of 3 minutes today so maybe that has something to do with sns. Currently charging it so I'll start getting new stats (the ones I'm posting now were taken a few hours ago), but this time I'll try to use the phone more as well as keep everything else the same. My use today has been streaming pandora, checking emails, reddit, xda, facebook, but no games (maybe that also comes into play). I'll keep updating
I'm getting massive sns kernel wakelocks too. No phone calls.

Hmm, yesterday I started getting sns wakelocks after I was on the phone for a while, so that might be part of it. Of course there might have been another reason behind it if you get a lot of wakelocks without the phone. Forgot to get a screenshot
This is the first day since I've been monitoring that this wakelock just went berserk. I made zero calls today. Then, I went back in time to determine what I was doing when it started. At that time, I was using Reddit Sync. Before doing anything, I locked the screen, and a few minutes later checked BBS and determined that the wakelock was still active after locking the screen. Then, I closed Reddit Sync and locked the screen. After a few minutes, I unlocked the screen and checked BBS. Sure enough, the wakelock times had frozen. So, by simply closing Reddit Sync, this wakelock has stopped, at least for now. After restarting this app, locking the screen and unlocking after a few minutes, I notice that the wakelocks were not re-activated. Well, that's my story. Do any of you use this app too?

After restarting this app, locking the screen and unlocking after a few minutes, I notice that the wakelocks were not re-activated. Well, that's my story. Do any of you use this app too?

No, I never used Reddit sync. However, it could be related to a general sync problem

Ha. It's not a sync program whatsoever, not in the sense that it syncs anything to the contents of your phone. It does sync in the sense that it keeps track of your "read" articles.

This is the first day since I've been monitoring that this wakelock just went berserk. I made zero calls today. Then, I went back in time to determine what I was doing when it started. At that time, I was using Reddit Sync. Before doing anything, I locked the screen, and a few minutes later checked BBS and determined that the wakelock was still active after locking the screen. Then, I closed Reddit Sync and locked the screen. After a few minutes, I unlocked the screen and checked BBS. Sure enough, the wakelock times had frozen.

I only use Reddit News. My sns wakelocks for today match the time I was on the phone, almost identically. This has been the case for today and yesterday which leads me to believe that the phone calls are NOT responsible for this runaway wakelock (as others have been saying). I didn't use my Nexus 4 very much this weekend, and the two major functions I used it for were phone calls and checking email sporadically. Others seem to report substantial wakelocks even without calls, so this has to be attributed to some app or setting that we're missing. Although I'm more inclined to think it's a problem with an app (or apps) because limited use seems to result in limited wakelocks, and if it was a system setting then it would be fairly constant. Has anyone gotten low sns wakelocks after not using their phone much in a day (like not using very many apps)? And thanks for the input so far
Async could stand for asynchronous, the CPU functions asynchronously but, I have no clue whether that wake lock is really cpu related.

I think it might be but I'm not completely sure.I found out last night that the game Asphalt 7 was responsible for a couple hours of wakelocks. However, in the system battery stats it registered as 0s for keeping the phone awake while android os registered the 2 hour jump I saw after playing the game. I played for a few minutes and jumped back to the home screen and didn't touch the game for those 2 hours. I'm not sure why, but having the game in my recent apps triggered those wakelocks, and the second I swiped it out of recent apps the wakelocks stopped. Either the app is bad or maybe the system isn't handling it correctly. I'll be trying other apps to see what the results are.

I use redditsync and also had a 7hour snsw wake lock overnight... Gonna keep an eye on it and hope it was a one off (or an update gets pushed out)

Alright, so that's two people getting wakelocks from redditsync. What happens when you clear redditsync from your recent apps? Does the wakelock continue or does it stop? This definitely sounds like the system isn't handling some of the open/recent apps correctly. No idea what links these apps together though
I am using Franco 62 with stock ROM and it turns out that Angry Birds Seasons can cause these wakelocks as well. Glad I'm not the only one with this issue.
I have never had these wakelocks previously (only the famous msm_hsic_wakelock). Yesterday after I installed a couple of apps (most are just theme-ing apps with no sync) and flashed custom kernel (Franco.r53); and ever since then these two wakelocks are continously appearing in my BBS stats, almost preventing my phone from entering deep sleep AT ALL. So I thought it was the kernel's problem; flashed back stock kernel and the problem still persists.
It's really weird as I previously NEVER had these two wakelocks.
By the way, I'm on stock ROM (rooted, unlocked)

Thanks for the update. But, it begs the question as to whether you uninstalled the new apps one by one to hone in on a possible culprit?

I'm suspecting something else, will update if it's solved.
UPDATE:
This is really weird, I have uninstalled what I installed yesterday and the problem persists, so I decided to try something else (as it was the another differences factor compared to pre-problem).
My WiFi was disconnected in middle of the night and I thought it could be causing it.
I turned my WiFi off, turn it back on and the problem is gone. This is really weird, as I have rebooted many times prior to trying this solution (and even flashed back to Stock Kernel).
Really random or just plain unlucky? I have even reinstalled the apps that I thought are causing the problem, but still fine so far. Gotta leave it overnight again to judge.
i'm chasing a battery drain issue.
i can leave my phone at idle even after a reboot and still even after hours of idle it never goes to deep sleep and shows 8 hours in the 384 mhz.
i have deleted apps, factory reset, flashed stock kernel, flashed factory image, NOT loaded the apps from google restore and still it comes up.
i have tried using better battery stats and all it shows is SUSPEND BACK OFF WIFI..
what gives? how do people use BBB when it is never specific with what is causing things, its so vague and generic.
my device SHOULD go into deep sleep if i reboot and leave it at idle right?
nothing?
I just want to know how so many people swear by BBB when all it ever does for me is show generic wake locks and not which specific apps are contributing to those wake locks.
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that this has been haunting me as well during the last 5 days.
Before, I had tremendously good deep sleep. But now I have the same problem. I have tried different kernels, reinstall CM. It must be app related.

There are 2 fields there. Kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks.
Kernel ones are those that are held by the OS. Partial are the ones that are held by apps. You can find out which apps are consuming battery by looking into it.
wifi wakelock is held by the OS and not an app. So you'll see it mentioned under kernel wakelocks. Most likely your wifi router isn't allowing your phone to sleep. Try disabling wifi and see if you still get wakelocks.

thanks guys
i tracked it down manually to the app called ULTIMATE ROTATION and ULTIMATE ROTATION LICENSE
as soon as i removed those apps no more wake locks and i can now deep sleep properly.
posted a message on the play store but no response yet
i have the same problem after i reflashed my rom! i didnt have this issue b4! im using the exact same rom with the exact same apps, i just restored my backup... im not sure wat is causing the problem... i tried everything with no luck :S
