Phone doesn't sleep?

Over the past 3 days my battery life has been horrible. Looking in "Spare Parts" battery history the "Running" usage is around 50% and if I select it it says "Time spent without sleeping" and gives me a high amount of time. What would cause the phone not too sleep. On a side not this happened about the time I did the one click lag fix. I have since reverted the lag fix but battery life is still in the toilet. Ideas?
Thanks...

The most likely problem is an app that isn't properly written. Especially since you were not experiencing this before. Have you installed any new apps recently? Go to Settings > About Phone > Battery use to see if there are any apps high on that list.

I don't see any apps using a lot of battery. It's as though the phone is not sleeping. Looking at adb logcat provides no clues. 25% battery use in 2 hours with very little actual phone use. Do I re-image and start over?

Just a quick update. I installed Vibrant9 and all is good now. I'm starting to think that there was something with the one click lag fix that caused it.

I hate to follow up my own post but I'm doing it again. Vibrant9 has incredible battery life. 1.5 days and still 45%.

Sounds amazing.
But I seem to have installed myself some trouble, sometimes lately an app keeps phone awake and today i noticed it because my pocket got hit.
Can I guess you don't run all the same apps now?

You guys should both be "fixing permissions" after flashes too. This may help if an app is misbehaving.

"sns_periodic_wakelock" killing battery

Hey,
I'm running stock nexus 4. I have been having terrible 8 hour battery life with "Android OS" taking up all the battery in battery status. BetterBatteryStats tells me that "sns_perioidic_wakelock" and "sns_async_ev_wakelock" is using up most of the battery. See attached. Any idea what apps are causing this?

I'm pretty sure I've seen those wakelocks when making a lot of phone calls. Seems likely related to cell radio use some how, but that's just a guess.

Actually the crazy thing is that i have airplane mode with wifi on most of the day cause I have really bad service. And I only have 100 minutes of talk, so I never talk on the phone.

Just checked mine and those wakelocks are really low today despite several phone calls, I've been on wifi all day though. The right way to figure those wakelocks out is to download the kernel source from one of the devs github and do some searches through the source to see where those wakelocks are logged. You might also search the battery impression thread in general, some smart folks have dissected many kernel wakelocks in there. Seems weird that you would have them in airplane mode.

I have the exact same issue. Wakelocks/Android OS killing my battery (Android OS usually 45% or higher when it should be my screen that is the biggest battery sucker).
I barely use my phone to make phone calls as well. I'd say 1 call every 2 or 3 days.

Same exact wakelocks here. I made 0 phone calls. There is defiantly something up.

I had these two wakelocks too and it turned out to be my live wallpaper that was causing it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35277041&postcount=20

Same wakelocks on my N4....
Solution in my case, delete widget locker....... My Nexy sleeps again:angel:

exact same situation: N4, sns wakelocks killing battery, phone not deep sleeping. culprit? Shake 'n Rotate! app. so add that one to the blacklist as well!

Are any of you running stock kernel and ROM?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Im Running stock kernal and Rom and i still get sns_periodic_wakelock and sns_async_ev_wakelock Does anyone have any idea what they are or what causes them or how to fix? They seem to be on the whole time my phone is on and they suck battery crazy not as bad as most but my android os is always 2nd battery use to my screen or more depending on how i use it and it sucks cause i know i would have pretty awesome battery life if these were fixed or gone. I appreciate any help!

Apparently you can also add: lightflow vibrate on pickup feature and adding a widget to the lock screen..

PowerManagerService and sns periodic wakelock are my main culprits but I'm not sure these numbers mean there's an issue or not...

I just checked BBS for todays use and I have on 9h use 4h on sns_periodic_wakelock. I have been using DashClock on my lockscreen. I will remove that and post back later to see if that helped.:cyclops:

Hmm can anyone say if this looks problematic?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Yes it does look problematic.
Basically sns_periodic_wakelock kept the device from sleeping for almost three hours.
I have the same issue and don't know what's causing it.
EDIT: Apparently live wallpapers do.

Just writing back to tell you guys how it went. I removed DashClock from my lockscreen and that wakelock seemed to be gone for a few days.
I then later updated the app, and just by updating it, I think it caused the wakelock. This time I'm uninstalling and checking if it comes back again.

Is there a known list of apps suspected of causing this?

I've had dashclock for the past two days.. Not seeing any wake locks. I have all the extensions from the app enabled.

Sns is related to facebook. If you use Titanium backup, go to apps and you can see a blue icon with a letter f on it that looks like facebook letter and labelled sns. Uninstall that and your lovely nexus 4 will enjoy its sleeeeep....

Android OS stay awake time very long

My Android OS is showing a stay always time of over 17 hours (out of a 20 hour run time where my battery is completely depleted). Is there anyway I can find out what cause it?

You're experiencing wakelocks. Might wanna do some research on the forum so that you can post logs for people to analyze what's really eating your battery.

THIS. I was having problems with wakelocks and traced them back to these few things below which got my battery life to greatly increase once disabled.
1) using dashclock extensions like FB and gmail
2) leaving google sync on in settings for the various google services
3) corporate email exchange servers
4) setting a long time variable for the phone to lock after the screen turns off (i did this to prevent putting in a pin to unlock but it kept the phone awake after the screen turned off)
5) live wall papers
There is also a known issue in the stock kernel that causes the phone to stay awake when it is supposed to go into sleep mode during extended periods of inactivity. This can be solved by using a custom kernel just as Franco r90 which has implemented patches in order to allow the phone to go into sleep to preserve battery. It is expected to be fixed in the next official OTA from google although this was also expected to be in 4.2.2 and was not fixed fully.

Same issue here. 4.2.2 stock kernel+rom, rooted
BBS shows "suspend_backoff" is at 45% no idea what's causing that.
Disabled pretty much all of the sync services but no improvement.
Interestingly right after the 4.2.2 update, the battery life was good.

Google play services has something to do with the high usage. Yesterday I was near 20% usage today I disabled it and android os is at 7%. It only affects YouTube app for me, but the browser version is fine. I haven't seen any adverse affects other than maybe losing updates to the play store and ota updates which I don't care about because that's what xda and Roms are for. Now it may be placebo, but it also seems like the ui is smoother. Battery has improved greatly with sot of 3 hours with 57% left.

Hi,
how do you disable Google play services?

Try using the app greenify if your rooted.. It's been helping my battery life. Use it on maps and that will help. If maps is set as a system app, move it or just install banks minimal gapps so you can download from play store.

Google “android system battery drain" it comes up with a lot of things. Download BetterBatteryStats click on other than click on partial wakelocks. Its some of your wakelocks that's causing the android system to drain the battery. With BetterBatteryStats it tells you which of those wakelocks is causing it and you can disable them.

finding alot of "answers" but none of which I think are the problem. I've attached a couple screenshots to show what is causing the wakelocks, not real sure what they are tho. this battery drain only happens when I leave wifi off, if wifi is on everything is perfect.

How strong is your phone's signal? If it does a lot of searching it'll use a lot of battery. With Wi-Fi off your apps will still try to connect to the internet. Face book I'd your biggest wake lock. Do you really need that to be trying to sync?

my signal is almost always full bars with lte. I wouldn't think that one app would cause such a battery drain, even facebook. but no it's not that important, I can turn that off to see if it makes a difference. what about "AlarmManager" & "ActivityManager-Launch"?
edit: what I don't understand is this.. even with facebook on, whether it's syncing with wifi or my data connection it's wakelocking, so why such a huge difference when wifi is disabled and it's using my data connection instead?

I don't think facebook is the problem, I installed the other ge rom (clean&slim) and am having the same issue when wifi is disabled, and I haven't installed any apps except for es file explorer and nova launcher. I don't remember a problem with this on stock touchwiz. I have safestrap and goldeneye running on my girlfriends phone and the android system using battery when wifi is disabled isn't a problem.

If you're in an LTE border area your connection may be connecting in and out with LTE bands frequently causing the battery drain, as wifi is usually more stable. Generally the cause of battery drain is due to google services wakelocking the phone. Do you have Greenify downloaded? It's pretty nifty for hibernating apps, causing them to be completely shutdown until opened; preventing wakelocks. If you get the donate version you can even hibernate system apps (google services, etc). I doubt it's ROM related, but you can try another ROM and compare with BetterBatteryStats.

^ That will explain the AlarmManager & ActivityManager-Launch.

thanks for the info. I've tried both google edition roms but like I said.. this wasn't an issue on stock touchwiz and it's not an issue on my girlfriends phone running safestrap and goldeneye (we have the same phone). I do have greenify and I've added play music and maps to it as I noticed they would always run in the background. I also noticed in running apps under google services (with wifi disabled) something was running called locationmanager or similar to that. I had all location services turned off tho. I always have full lte service so I'm not sure why it would be going in and out.

Check your kernel wakelocks, your partial wakelocks seems not a big deal, actually on that screenshot IMO facebook is behaving very well.

I just unplugged my phone so I'm waiting for updated battery stats. I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with any apps that I've installed. I have greenified alot of apps, and turned off some receivers in google services framework (mostly gtalk stuff) I also did the stuff in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417. I'm going to wait awhile to see if there's any improvement, then I was going to try adding some build.prop entries that I used on my LG Optimus L9, a couple are for saving power when the phone is asleep and helping the phone sleep better, and there is an entry to limit how often your wifi will scan. they seemed to help on the lg.

I live in a poor service area and I like to control my WiFi and data on off with juice defender or creative connections I think its called. Helps me a lot. May not solve your prob but might make things easier on you. There is also an app called LTE toggle that makes a on/off widget for LTE. Hope it helps if you try it.

so is this an issue other people have using google edition roms and having wifi disabled? this doesn't happen with stock touchwiz or even stock touchwiz roms so I'm not understanding what the problem could be. I shouldn't have to use another app to stop battery drain just because I don't have wifi enabled

I can't think of anything you haven't already thought of that could cause those issues. I love greenify also but is it possible you greenified an app that is fighting it and trying to connect? I've done that but not es bad as you are seeing. Those apps were a thought to make your life a little easier by not working about WiFi on here and off there. They work good for me for that issue. You probably won't like this but I'm running foxhound 2.0 with faux and killjoy/ccross breeder script and I have a hard time hitting 50% battery after 15 hours off the charger. I have to really game or to a lot to go below that. I also debloat heavily. I havent tried your Roms yet but I had similar results on Alpha ROM. I'll think about it some more though.

I tried foxhound and I liked it but the black theme was just too black for me and I don't really like the touchwiz theme. I love the google edition roms. and no at first I flashed a clean ge rom and didn't install any apps at all and I still had the problem. I've also installed ge roms from the i9505 forum and also had the problem. with wifi on I get atleast 2 days on a full charge and about 4 hours of screen on time.

I would suggest do the following charge up to 100% not 90% like your second post. after 100% charge, do a reboot when the phone boots again remove the charger and let it sit untouched for at least 4 hours preferably 8 hours. Then on better battery stats take a screenshot of "Other/unplugged" lets see how much the phone is awake and deep sleep, then take a screenshot of Kernel Wakelocks/unplugged and also partial wakelocks/unplugged
at first I didn't notice that on you second screenshot your stats are for 8% period 90% - 82% and that is a 1%/hr battery drain, is actually pretty good, sure not excellent but there are some that loose 2%/hr

I'm having the same problem with the ge ROM. Battery life seems to go quicker than stock touchwiz. As I like the GE roms interface and things you can do with it just hate the battery life.

Hi guys,
Found that I had awful battery life today, using Galaxy Pack live wallpaper, and autobrightness (+5)
Is this due to the live wallpaper or why else would I get this problem?

That must be a really hard battery sucking wallpaper you got there mate. With only 2 h screen on I could last at least 2 days without charging.
Do you have s-voice on and wake up command? These were the only apps that consumed that much as I remember. Or did you run any battery consuming apps? It shouldn't be the wallpaper but you can still try yourself.
If you are on stock rom it could also be the KitKat update. I read a lot about it being pretty battery unfriendly.

Can you go one day without it and post your Battery stats? It's kinda hard to believe it is the wallpaper because:
1. Your screen was only on for 2-3 hours
2. The screen consumption is lower than Android OS and System
Does the wallpaper have any extra features?
Edit. Did you play or stay in the internet?

I will try changing the wallpaper. Can't think what else it could be - my phone was warming up in my pocket, with nothing in recent apps. Also wouldn't a live wallpaper be included in OS and System rather than anywhere else?

It shouldn't be consuming when screen is off. Just checked mine:
4 hours on with screen consuming 47% and still 80% charged locked my phone consumes like 1% in 6 hours
(But I'm rooted and fully modded to your phones defense)
Edit. Unless you can say that it doesn't consume that much when not having the wallpaper I would guess it is a KitKat issue or your battery really has a problem
Final Question:
@ant2555 sorry I don't know since I was rooted since jelly bean I never had the chance to look into that. I just read a lot about it being a known 4.4.2 issue. The 4.4.3 update is said to get rid of that

Ok, I'll get back to you either tomorrow or the day after depending on results.
Final question for now, do you know what the common causes of "android system" using that much battery are?

I've been using that wallpaper for almost 4 months without a drain issue. It's not the wallpaper. (maxelus.net is one of the better wallpaper devs. You need not worry about these causing a drain.)
The wallpaper does have a setting for battery saving in its settings (all the way at the bottom as 'Battery. Wallpaper Speed'). Try turning that on.
From the looks of it, you have Sync turned on. Turn if off. (drag down the notidication bar and scroll to the Sync toggle.)
Also, turn off all location services (In settings and in Google Settings(that's an app)).
And try disabling all sounds under settings --> device --> Sounds --> system. (You can elave haptic feedback on if you want.)

Do you have an SD card in your phone?
I found that my Note 3 lasts longer without one. It might just be a problem with certain brands, but mine would heat up considerably and cause the indexing service to go into overdrive.
If you have an SD card, try running your phone without it for a little while and see if that makes a difference.

I discovered that after charging my phone a couple of times I get a false charge which can imitate battery drain, try this code *#0228# after hitting it click Quick Start, hope that helps, if not do a complete wipe for all apps and only download trusted ones. Good luck

Android is and kernel killing my battery. Don't know what has changed in last few days but I'm getting 5 to 8 hours on a full charge

Do you have an SD card in your phone?
I found that my Note 3 lasts longer without one. It might just be a problem with certain brands, but mine would heat up considerably and cause the indexing service to go into overdrive.

Sorry for a few days, delay been doing some extensive testing. I tried without the SD card and my battery stats became even worse! See picture!

I've been using that wallpaper for almost 4 months without a drain issue. It's not the wallpaper. (maxelus.net is one of the better wallpaper devs. You need not worry about these causing a drain.)
The wallpaper does have a setting for battery saving in its settings (all the way at the bottom as 'Battery. Wallpaper Speed'). Try turning that on.
From the looks of it, you have Sync turned on. Turn if off. (drag down the notidication bar and scroll to the Sync toggle.)
Also, turn off all location services (In settings and in Google Settings(that's an app)).
And try disabling all sounds under settings --> device --> Sounds --> system. (You can elave haptic feedback on if you want.)

Yeah, Sync was turned on and I'll try turning it, and location services off (location was on power saver mode before)
However take a look at some of my battery stats they seem very odd.
One day they seem perfectly normal: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pprase2tqiwcq8/2014-06-12 22.38.17.png

and the next they seem awful with odd draining issues, and heating up in my pocket during the day. One possible cause I thought of was because the phone was on "increased touch sensitivity mode" so may have been turning itself on in my pocket all day.
Here are some bad days:

Ahh, Google Services. That annoying bugger again. It's been causing problems on several devices.
What you can try:
Google Settings > Ads > turn on "Opt out of interest-based ads"
Disable back up under Settings > Backup & reset > uncheck "Back up my data".
Turn off Google Now.
And you can try uninstalling the recent updates to Google Play Services under settings > Applicationmanager > All > Google Play Services. Force stop, clear data, clear cache and uninstall updates (be sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play Store first or it'll come back nearly instantly).
