Huge Wakelock - EVO 4G General

What the hell is going on with my phone? I have this huge wakelock and no idea where it's coming from. I've always been on latest PRL/Radio and never had a problem before. I recently reformatted my phone and installed MikG 2.52. I have an extended Sprint 2600mah battery and i believe it can do better.

Mine's even worse

Damnit, i was aiming for a 4 day battery life. This wake problem will be an issue!

you try uninstalling fancy widgets? That caused an issue for me because it was constantly updating.

1.9.9? Heard there was issue with that release. Sucks cause I always read your sig for tips. Rollback? I'm on miui 108260 undervolted -75 with tiamat 4.0.6sbc and it kills.

I've had that issue for the last several releases.
It's not really huge. My phone is plugged in a lot to one of my computers, so I don't really notice it, but it is there.

wakelock
I have Miui 9.9 with SavagedZen 2.2.1CFS, latest baseband.
My phone never sleeps.

What battery usage monitor is that from?

Its built in Miui

The wakelock has to be something in the ASOP or Miui build. I installed a sense ROM (Synergy) and had no issues with wakelock.

I think it's MIUI, and only the builds after 1.8.26. I don't use MIUI anymore, I've since switched back to Sense, and I don't have it. Also, when 1.9.9 screwed up my phone, I switched back to 1.8.5, and I didn't have wakelock issues with that either.

I re-installed Miui and added Advanced task killer. Everytime I check it, Google maps is the only app running.

How did 1.9.9 screw up your phone, when everyone else ran it just fine? Matter of fact, I'm still on it

Calm down, I'm not trying to say that it lit my phone on fire or anything. It just screwed the install, and I decided it wasn't worth it anymore. My phone became slower and slower and more buggy with each update. AGAIN, I'm not saying this is the case for everyone. I'm glad it works for you. Honestly, I just like the way Sense runs better. However, that doesn't change the fact that the most recent MIUI builds have ridiculous wakelock issues. I'm not trying to argue with you like some of the people on here. That's just the experience I had.

Chillax homie.. I was just askin'

miui has been horrible battery for me lately also..i can only make it 5 hours maybe so I had to go back to cm7..

Log out of Facebook app, that thing causes major wake lock issues. I use phone usage app for finding my rouge apps.

That looks more like a monitoring app. Can you actually kill the apps that are running or can you set it to kill all apps automaticly?

I don't use the Facebook app so thats not it...I have even went as far as not installing anything to see if it may be an app and even stock it kills the battery..

Its a monitor app, a kill app is taskpanel. Best in my opinion.

Damage vs. Fresh

Just wanting some opinions. I'm using Fresh 0.2 and wondering if its worth it to switch. Thanks for any response.

It's different for sure...do a nandroid of your current setup and play with damage for a while...if you don't like it, restore your nandroid back to fresh and you haven't lost any settings.

Ohh Yeah, Damage made some crazy battery improvement, dont get me wrong, I love Flipz and was using it till two days ago, and found that my battery was running as I was running stock ROM, but now with Damage, last time i charge my phone was last night 10 pm.
Right now it is 5.30pm EST NYC, and still got 52%
GPS running, WIFI, Exchange email, Gvoice, Fring, Android Community, PDAnet, and some others.

It is true dude, I dont know what the heck he did to it, I guess the phone idles so nice now, and to tell you the truth, I even stopped using auto task killers to fully test the ROM.
I use Fresh because I have always followed flipz, and I just trust him more.

Thats the boat I'm in. Switched from Fresh on my Hero and ever since, just...problems.
I'm sure he's got his own kick ass tweaks coming soon anyway. In the meantime, fewer sprint apps is nice.
Both are great. Try them out and make your own decision. Many of the asop like ruins are also nice and so us the froyo port. If you can live without the camera for now that its also a great alternative. Soon enough we will have much more variety.
I'd use damage but there's some problems with it I just can't get past. For now i'm just getting by with one of these till the developer from my old phone puts out one for the evo
Ive had better luck with the Damage ROM then I have with the Fresh ROM. I also think Bugless and Baked ROM's are pretty darn close to Damage as well. The only ROM I had issues with was the Fresh ROM actually
been using Fresh and haven't really had ANY issues. Curious to hear from other people about damages battery life. Is it really that much better? I'm not that happy with the phones battery life. Coming from the Hero i've used both Fresh rom and Damagecontrol from there so i know they both make good roms. I don't really like all the sprint apps, but those are easy enough to pull out with adb.

Memory leaks and no flash support (i think he fixed the latter with his last update though)
i use both i used both on my hero and will do the same on my EVO
atm im running flipz
Personally I switched from using Fresh to DamageControl. No 'huge' differences as far as battery life and such. Personally I think they are faily close to the same, other than the look of course. I liked Fresh, but I like Damage also. Cant wait til further update tho, and only both, and other ROMs can get better.
I'm done flashing, for now. I went from the Hero to the Evo and I flashed my Hero every update and tried different ROMs. I like the Evo stock cause I'm not always wonder if the "other" is slightly quicker or better on battery life. Also like it because I'm not having to reload all my apps and settings from ROM to ROM.

This is what nandroids are for. You can just save the current device and put it back to the exact way it was before.
Did Damage for 2 days and Fresh for 2 days.
With Damage my Battery life was DREADFUL, I had to recharge twice in the same day, both days.
Fresh, 16+ hours.
Same use, same apps for both installs.
A lot of conflicting posts, guess ill wait for more to chime in. Until then I'll stick with Fresh for now.
How many SD cards did u go thru with all that flashing? I am trying to be conscious of that so I dont turn mine into useless plastic.

anyways.. anyone else getting a really fast battery drain after using google wallet?
i i'm on stock but rooted.. loaded the file available for the ns4g and when i open google wallet, everything works and what not.. leave the program either pressing the back button or home.. and after a few hours.. battery drains pretty quick.. look at the battery monitor stat thing.. google wallets always on the top even though i used it once for 1 min... same results even if i turn off the nfc chip in the settings.. basically have the restart and not open up the program and battery is fine..

Yea, I had my suspicions it had something to do with CM7. I saw quite a few posts on the interwebz about people having battery troubles with GW and was curious as to why I wasn't having any trouble. Everything was gravy on stock 2.3.5 with the 2.3.7 update, and on my current ROM, Pete's GPA18 Beta.
I was running stock 2.3.7 for a few days and was also running into battery drain issues with Google wallet, where according to the battery use utility it was using upwards of 36% of the battery at the end of the day after simply opening the wallet app, not even after actually using it. There is probably a few bugs in the software as it was just newly released so look for Google making some updates in what I assume will be the near future.
Happened to me too today. I noticed subsequently trying to open it that it didn't want to "unlock" either until a reboot.

Yep, after switching back to GPA18 it works fine.
i ended up flashing to peter's rom.... stock rooted odexed rom.. and now i can open google wallet without battery draining.. i opened it thru one or two times a day the first few days while keeping the nfc chip on.. and without actually purchasing anything.. and no serious battery drain... so for me solution found.. clear cache and such.. then flash to peter's rom.. problem solved
I have the same problem. Here's what I posted in the Google wallet possible fix thread.
Anyone having any battery issues with this? I flashed this last night and I'm down to 45% battery in 7 hours with Google wallet using 52% of my battery and a keep awake time of 4 hours and 34 minutes....
I'm running a fresh install of the latest NSCollab which is based on nightly 212 I believe.

Same here... after update my battery life is gone. Very unhappy as I can't find how to shut it down. My phone had 74% when I went to bed. It drained & shut off before I woke up. 6hrs of sleep for me and the phone died.
Why?
if you dont have this issue, why the F*** do you comment on it saying:
"nope, no issues here."
your not helping at all.. its so pointless. this guy needs help.
Im running 2.3 oxygen, and it just happened to me today, been running the same setup for 2 days now and today it happened. I just tried to force close wallet and cleared the apps data and cache. will post results

I am in WAKELOCK HELL

I'll start by saying that the attached pictures say it all folks.
I'm simply at a complete loss as to how my phone can be so awake ALL the time.
If anybody could give me ANY insight as to why it might be the case, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
Also, I can post my alarmdump.txt if anybody wants to see it.
Again, any and ALL help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask me for any more info that might be of use in diagnosing the problem.
That NYC map app seems to be the culprit. As well as the Google Search widget, for some reason.
Uninstall the app, remove the widget, reboot and see if it's much better

I'll keep investigating.

Well I've frozen the default ADW launcher that CM7 comes with. I'm pretty sure I took off all homescreen icons and widgets before I switched the default to Zeam.
Does anybody know if freezing the Modem Fastdormancy element in Titanium Backup would cause any problems?

im also curious about modem fastdormancy... i froze it because it was a wakelock culprit, but am getting really fast battery drain as well. not sure exactly what modem fastdormancy does tho
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/9cb9c3e94da63110?pli=1
So basically, Modem Fast Dormancy = do not freeze. In my understanding, it has to do with the radio and disabling it when not in use, or something to that affect. I haven't studied it, but that's a quick 10 second synopsis from reading that article. I would stay away from disabling it.

What about the wakelocks for Event Log Services?
Does anybody know if there's a way to find out exactly what that is, and if there's anything I can do about it?
Thanks for the input so far guys I REALLY appreciate, and little by little I think things are working out.
You're showing 27 hours there..................many people struggle to get 1/2 of that. I am one of the few who gets 28-30 hrs from full charge with moderate usage. I think it's fair to say you have fairly decent battery life, even with only low usage. I wouldn't complain too much.................just keep trying to make it better!

The thing is, he might have good battery life compared to others but his screen was barely on, he shouldn't be having all those wake locks. I have a similar amount too. If we could get this settled our 1 day battery life might turn into 2 days which would be amazing. I'm sure many people's phones are like this.

Yup bro this is exactly it.
It might be good battery life- but I'm not using my phone at all.
After unfreezing Modem Fastdormancy I've definitely got less unexplained blue in the "awake" time graph. I also froze ADW and that seemed to help.
Thing is, there is still lot of mysterious chunks when my phone is awake.
BetterBatteryStats says Alarm Manager and Event Log services are to blame (top two- represent a substantial percentage of the partial wakelocks and thus time awake).
I'm about to terminal emulator dumpsys my alarmdump.txt, but is there a similar solution for Event Log Services that will allow me to see EXACTLY what's putting it at the top? Only clue it gives is that it's apparently "Google Services."
Past that I've got no clue what it's pointing to.
If I get the Event Log Services fixed, I'd venture to say that would solve a LOT of problems for me.
Thank you guys for everything so far. You laid out some really good and interesting ideas- ones that I definitely wouldn't have thought of.
I'm very, very appreciative, and if it's not too much trouble, bros, KEEP IT COMING!
Ultimately, I want OTHERS to be able to reference this thread in their quest for a better Atrix, and maybe even a better android phone in general!

I honestly always had battery issues with cm7 keeping the phone awake. I switched back to Alien ROM an now my battery life is back to normal, around 42hours. I also saw great improvement when I uninstalled Watchdog while I was on cm7 and so thus I have never reinstalled it again.
Well,
Due to this post I checked my Atrix and saw that it wont go to sleep as well, and stay practically always awake. I started using AntTek App manager to freeze some apps that worked all the time (mainly Facebook and an israeli VOD app) and the phone started to go in sleep. I dont know how it will affect the battery life (which is about 16 hours from 100% to ~5%, with data always open), but I will test it for now and report once I have some news...
BTW Im running CM7-Ba2tF, with faux123 enhanced 1.0 Ghz Kernel, and UV.

MX battery life?

Hi! I got my MX couple of months ago, and I can tell I love it. Anyways the only things I wasnt happy with were the battery life and reception, and so I updated my phone's flyme os yesterday. (from 1.0.3 to 1.1.1)
I assumed the update would fix the issues ( as I think it did for the reception ) but the battery seems to be even more horrible after the update.
It seems that after the update my MX didnt even completely charge up. I put my phone on the charger at around 2:30 and unplugged it at 13:30, so it was on power for about 11 hours, but it didnt even charge itself completely in addition to the fact that it stopped actually charging at around 8 o clock as we can clearly see from the "today" screenshot.
Then comparing it to the "yesterday" screenshot with 1.0.3 we can tell it charged itself up completely.
Ive got the new 2core model with the updated 1700 mah battery (which should have the best battery life of all of the mx models) and this makes me wonder what is the battery like on the other mx's if this is normal. And yes my phone was showing the charging animation on the screen during the time I mentioned earlier in the message.

Except apps. If you have it enabled.
1.0.3 here, quad core model, my battery is fine, gets me over a day with normal use.
However I admit that it could be better.
Its also well known that 1.1.1 contained a bug that ate battery, so stay away from that firmware.
I didn't test 1.1.3 yet.

My MX arrives this week and I'll be measuring the battery carefully to see if I can't find a replacement. (Yes, I realize it's not supposed to be "user replaceable", but the teardowns confirm that it is if you've got the patience and dedication. Here's hoping there is a higher-capacity battery in the same form factor.) Apps are nice, but more juice is better.

1.1.5 is out, do you think I should try that? Theres no thing mentioned about battery in the changelog but there's some magic in updates sometimes, isn't there?
Hehe that's true. I use 1.1.5 and it feels pretty good.
1.1.5 is nice, however there is a bug in android terminal emulator.
The osk wont work until you change the input type setting to word based.
I also suggest prerooting the image, Ubuntu works nicely on it too.

1.1.5 is nice, however there is a bug in android terminal emulator.
The osk wont work until you change the input type setting to word based.
I also suggest prerooting the image, Ubuntu works nicely on it too.

Yeah I heard about that bug, but that's an easy fix isn't that Also never ran into the need of terminal on my MX.
There was someone on meizume forums telling he could upload a prerooted image of 1.1.5, and as I have 0 experience on how to preroot the file I wish he could do that. You see I'm a newbie - don't just tell me to do things, please tell me HOW to do the things aswell ^^,
Kedros uploaded one already. You can just fetch his.
Battery is 71mm x 35mm x Unknown Depth. If I can find a few batteries matching the length-width, I can start trying to transplant them into my MX quad core.
Please keep us updated on that.
I would love to stick a higher capacity battery in there.

[Q] Why is Android System consuming so much batter nowadays?

It didn't used to be like this. But now I get a pretty bad drain from Android System. It would be the second highest battery consumer, and would be using the CPU for quite a lot.
I'll post my battery screens and BBS stats soon. But for now, anyone else getting this issue? I'm on CM10.1 M1, tried different nightlies but still getting this f*cking problem. It's driving me crazy.

try a different rom besides for cm, or try a different kernel. no such issue here with the rasbean jelly rom/trinity kernel. android system stays between 2-6% here.

Alright, I'll give Rasbean Jelly ROM a try.
If you look at my attached screenshot, you'll see what apps are included in Android System. Maybe you use one of those apps a lot? What % is your Android System at by the way?

I have the exact same list of packages for Android System. Right now my phone's been on for an hour and it's at 21%, with a CPU total of 15 mins and it kept my phone awake for 4 minutes.
I dunno why it's like this all of a sudden. A week ago it was completely fine.
The thing is, I did clean re-flashes already and it still does that. I even wiped system. How do I properly reset my phone to get a clean slate? Should I RMA my phone if this issue doesn't go away?
Edit:
Just flashed MiNCO v6, and the drain seems to subside a little bit, but I need more time with my phone to judge better. Sigh, I'm missing CM's quick reply feature already!

It's not a hardware issue. The longer the phone is on, the lower % the Android System will be at (obviously lol) because the other stuff is averaging it out. You can also ry changing your kernel.
About the messaging quick reply, just replace MiNCO's mms.apk with CM's.
