Handcent battery issue - Nexus S General

I have a weird problem with handcent. It keeps the pop up running in memory till i read the text, (i.e) If i don't read the text for 6 hours, Handcent drains the battery for six hours.
Yesterday i had got a text just after i slept , i woke up after 6 hours and found that handcent had drained 40% of the battery. And the "keep awake time" of handcent was 6 hours.
I know this issue persists on other phones also,

Do anyone else have this issue on your Nexus s, I had this problem on my stock gingerbread as well, I rooted my phone and flashed oxygen and still the problem exists.
I am using Go sms atm. But i really like handcent , Anyone knows a fix for this.

I would suggest disabling the pop up completely till the app is updated and fixed.

This problem has been there for a long time, There have been many updates and yet handcent hasn't fixed the issue. Very few android phones experience this problem.

i started noticing the same starting about 3 days ago on mine.

[Q] phone app keeping phone awake

Hi all
I have a strange problem. In battery starts phone app is keeping my phone awake .I've only made one call today which was about 3 main yet device was up for ever 5 quartets of an hour and it keeps going up

I'm noticing the same thing on my phone. I see the phone app is keeping the phone awake for 9 hours yet I only talked maybe 20 minutes today. I'm rooted using Google Voice to manage calls and texts, how about you?
Just thought I'd give an update. I suspected that the Messaging app was to blame. So, I turned off the automatic delete for messages and disabled the app entirely. I've been using GO SMS Pro and I haven't observed the phone app using the battery a lot.
Same issue here today
The battery on my Nexus 4 was amazing until I had the same issue today
Made a 5 minutes phone call, then the battery just started drain faster than I could have imagined.
Phone had a Keep awake of about 4 hours when I noticed this issue in the evening.

Whatsapp issue

Hey guys, sometimes Whatsapp messages show up late. (ive noticed this happens only when screen off)
For example, when I unlock phone, after several minutes I get the Whatsapp notification, I go in, but message shows it was recieved 5-10-15 minutes ago.. Sometimes the clock shows when I want to reply..
No problems with screen on.
Any clue? Sync is on

It happens in both, wifi or Mobile data.. So service provider is dismissed..
I think there must be a config

Most of the time this is because the Servers cant handle the amount of messages being send via WhatsApp. So there is nothing you can really do about it.

This never happened with my s2, which I had until Saturday.. that's why I think is something with the N4 config
I noticed this past Saturday problems sending and receiving messages via Whatsapp, on both iPhone and Nexus 4, but not via stock MMS apps. So it appears that there was an issue on Whatsapp side.
I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.
On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.
It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

Exactly... It's annoying, since whatsapp is not catalogued as a battery drain or similar..

WiFi Problem with my new Nexus 4

Hello, I got my nexus 4 three days ago and I'm facing a problem.
I can't seem to get realtime whatsapp notifications and when I go to the play store or YouTube my WiFi drops and it says connection time out retry and whatsapp messages take forever to receive. Is this a known bug in the nexus 4? Or should O replace my phone and get a new nexus with guarantee.
I'm currently using the march 18 Paranoid Android with Stock PA kernel, I'm not using any battery saver app (I'm using the same apps that I had on my S2) and none of them does anything to WiFi.
I flashed PA too fast after I got the phone but I think I was having this issue out of the box. I haven't changed DPI either.
Thanks in advance.
I tried changing kernel and nothing. Anyone? /:
There is a thread about it in general. But basically known bug, when on wifi and your phone screen is off (in deep sleep) you get delayed notifications or no notifications till you wake the device up.
In the android development section there is a kernel that fixes it for most (myself included.) on my phone and out so can't give links.

I posted my problem in PA thread and no1 seems to be having that problem like me, shouldn't franco's kernel have this issue fixed? Is that the only kernel that fixes that
I agree that it seems odd more people aren't complaining about it. I only really noticed it when I tried to use voip and the phone wouldn't ring when the screen was off.
So far only the one kernel I told you about fixes it. However Google is aware and working on a fix so in time all kernels will be fixed

Are the delayed notifications only a problem on wifi? What about when using HSPA+/3G?

Delay in Notifications?

hi,
just wondering if anyone else has the same problem that i have.
basically i have a delay in a few of my notification such as facebook, whatsapp, twitter. for exmaple i send a message to my friend on whatsapp, i then press the power button and not recieve a response or anything... but like 15 mins later, i recieve a whatsapp notification and see that my friend has sent several messages while my phone was "asleep" plus all my notofications come at the same time. so lets say i receive the whatsapp notification 15 mins later, my twitter notifications would appear along with my gmail notification etc...
could anyone help
It is a known issue of the nexus 4. There is a kernel fix but battery drain is quite affected.
That issue only happens when you are on wifi, test it.
Google is supposed to fix it in next releases... but who knows?
Here u have the fix

I can also confirm that this is a bug in 4.2.2 and not in 4.2.1.
I can't wait for 4.2.3. Google botched it with 4.2.2.

Nexus 10 wont lit screen after some hours of inactivity.

Hi,
I've googled about this problem for a long time but haven't found anyone with the same problem as me.
When i leave my Nexus 10 unused for a some hours it don't lit the screen when i open the case or when pressing the power button.
The notification light often blinks because of a email or instant message recived so i know it's still on.
Anyone knows what couse this?
I've experienced this both with 4.2.2 and 4.3.

It's full stock ROM, no root or anything.
Sounds a lot like the SoD, or Sleep of Death. If you search that you will find tons of info.
I have been suffering bad SoD since upgrading to 4.3
Like 2 - 3 times daily.

Same here. I've had two SoDs and one reboot after sitting idle for 8 hours in the past day.
