Happens to me too, after a reboot or powerup. It shows up after 5min or so of screen usage.
The screen on / awake little bars are also bugged? Sometimes the awake bar doesn't show as it was awake even when the screen was on usage.
So I've rebooted and still no screen time now I have this black bar on the screen now

Hey forum ! , I was an iphone 3gs user and made the jump to android when the play came out.
Ive noticed my battery is draining 2-3% an hour and looking at the "battery use in setting and then looking at the graph it show the phone is randomly awake even when the screen is off.
My play is rooted using gingerbreak 1.1 and has mostly all the bloatware removed.
non of the apps i have installed ask for permissions to prevent standby, I only have tune in radio, mobo player, facebook, twitter adobe pdf viewer, fpse, snesoid, gameboid google maps youtube imdb touch calendar es file explorer unit convertor and ringdroid installed.
i have 12 processes running using 86mb of ram
all apps are closed properly, wifi is off, background data is enabled ( but no applications i use in the settings allow auto refreshing of data)
The battery life of my xperia play has never been great (lasts about 24hrs with just checking facebook, twitter and xda forums using the built in browser)
I just wonder what is causing the phone to keep waking up randomly, is this the culprit of the battery drain?
I have a couple of theorys .... i did install desktop visualiser to change the icons then once they were changed i deleted the app (i read this app causes battery drain) maybe this could be a cause i thought deleting the app would fix,
2nd i travel around as part of my job so i wonder if the phone is going through areas where there is poor connectivity and its constantly trying to connect to different networks causing the drain.... but does anyone know of any efficient lightweight apps that disable this when the screen is off.
lastly I think the could it be widgets i only use the built in ones with the phone, the wifi on/off gps on/off and data on/off
do you guys turn data off during the day to save battery and do you turn background data off ? i think its anoying have to change all these settings off to sqeeze a tiny bit more of juice out the phone, it probably uses more turning them on and off avery 1hr or so
any suggestions or setups of how other people have got there phone up and running with good battery life would be a real help
cheers !
Deleting all widgets certainly saved my some battery, also deleting the SE launcher with launcher pro seemed to save me a lot of battery but I'm not sure about this.
2 to 3% an hour isn't bad with radios on at all. When you say awake, do you mean the screen is on, or that it's just in standby? There is nothing in battery stats that say "awake" you need to be more specific on what the system says, not what you think it's doing.
If the screen is coming on "randomly" then it could be an incoming txt, email, phonecall or something like that. Lower your screen timeout in the settings to help there.
If its phone idle or standby, then again 2 to 3% is nothing. That's 30 50 hours of standby receiving emails, txts and what not. Nothing to complain there.

reboot fixed my stay awake problem
by stay awake he means no lockscreen/passcode/slide to unlock

Click on settings then about phone then battery use then at the top of that screen there should be a set of numbers saying how long the battery has been used since the last charge, click that an it displays a graph , on the graph page it shows when the phone is "awake" by awake I mean the screen is off the phone should be in standby mode but its being acessed by something i.e a program , like its woken up to perform some action. Anyway im wondering if anyone elses phone is awake randomly when the screen in off and in standby mode. When I factory reset I neget had this issue but its after installing apps I think or some setting im missing any ideas
I have the same problem. My Xperia Arc is "awake" all the time. Screen is locked, turned off but in battery usage I see that the phone is awake even with screen off. The culprit seems to be the native messaging app as it consumes the most battery. I'm not sure what is going on, what is the messaging app doing or which process is using it.
Any ideas anyone?
I'm on CM7.1 stable. Haven't had battery issues for a while, but starting a few days ago I've been getting rapid drain with heating. Battery use screen shows that the phone is awake most of the time the screen is off, but it doesn't reveal which app keeps waking it up. I also tried Spare Parts to see if any app is hogging the partial wake lock, but nothing seems to account for it.
Any other ideas on how to trace it? Must've been an app that updated in the past 3-4 days.

Just to show how this looks, here is a screenshot of the battery screen.
Notice that I put the phone in airplane mode for the past hour as I was writing an exam, yet it still appears awake with screen off. The phone was warm when I retrieved it after an hour of the radios being off! Something is seriously wrong here.

I can only guess it is an application or service keeping your phone from going to deep sleep- also known as "partial wake lock" or something like that...
What to do? You can probably nail the culprit using some application like BetterBatteryStats (Market it, or look for it at xda's app thread- it is somewhere here). It will help you find who/what is keeping the phone awake.
I think that Battery Monitor Widget can also give you similar info.
You may need some help in the BBS thread to help you interpret the results as they are not always obvious or easy to tell who's the problem.
Right. What's confusing me is that nothing in the partial wake lock list is showing more than about 10 minutes of lock time, yet the phone gets stuck awake for more than a solid hour of screen off time.

I think I figured it out. I had a trigger set up in Tasker that resets the phone's data connection every time it crashes out with an error (and my carrier WIND Mobile does this quite frequently). On days when the battery was constantly draining, it may have been because the network was particularly error-prone and my trigger therefore kept going off. And each time it went off, Tasker must have flipped the phone into awake mode.
I've turned off the trigger for now, to see if it stops draining.
I wanted to see how much screen on time I could get on the stock battery, and was surprised that I could get 12 hours.
I call bluff. Even though your showing screenshots. That would be incredible if true though.

I can see this as being possible if:
-You're sitting next to the router and/or in airplane mode.
-screen brightness turned all the way down + screen filter
-no app syncing whatsoever
-doing something that doesn't involve the network, eg: playing a video.
Shenanigans!!!

Exactly. I've seen them upwards of 6 hours when on network. But, not with him showing poor LTE coverage. No way that one will get 12 hours of on screen time.
It happens to me yesterday, I leave the phone in Airplane Mode at 11pm and in the next day I heard a low battery warning..and then I thought "ugh..bad kernel! it supposed to last than a day in airplane mode" but when I see battery status, it's been awake 10 hrs with 8h 26m screen on..idk if it's a bug or the screen really turned on because i'm using a cover (it's a Galaxy Note btw, forgot to mention)

Any chance we could see the detailed graph info (when you tap on the graph in the second screenshot)? Otherwise, I'll assume you were in airplane mode until just before taking the screenshots.
I was extremely impressed when I saw over 4 and a half hours of screen on time, since my OG Evo only got about 2 and a half (I think it got up to 3 hours once). Now that I've had the phone for a week, my normal screen on time is between 5.5 and 6.5 hours. That's with almost-exclusively using Wifi with good signal and screen brightness at 26%, no GPS, etc. If anyone can actually get significantly more than 6.5 hours screen on time without airplane mode, I'd like to hear how.
Sorry for the confusion, I was testing out "picture frame" mode here is what I did:
-I turned off the radios using the "phone info" app, which is similar to airplane mode.
-Screen brightness to min.
-Turned on all power saving options.
-Used "screen on" app to keep the screen on.
-Used the gallery with a pitch black picture(I didn't want to get screen burn in)
-The radio was turned on just prior to the screen shot so that I could e-mail myself the screen shot.

So 12 hours without looking for/maintaining a radio signal and showing a black screen? Not impressed.
So my battery completely dies on its on even when im not using it. Because when i receieved a call or text the screen turns on and doesnt turn off at its own. Never had that problem on other phones. Is there a setting im missing???
100% get a text screen stays on leave the phone come back 2 hours later n it drain the battery cuz the screen stayed on the whole time.

I had asked a similar question and found out that no matter what the screen is going to come on when you get a text message. Now it definitely isn't supposed to stay on. That's not normal. I'm sure you have restarted you phone already as it may just be a bug that needs a restart. Another option for you would be to download a third party text program such as handcent.

You didn't happen to go into developers settings and accidentally check the keep screen on while plugged in box did ya? Or try Display settings n see what screen off is set at. I know these are probably obvious things but ya never know, we're only humans and we do miss things sometimes. Hope it helps ya?

Yea thats what i thought screen usually goes off base on the screen time that i set 15 seconds. But the phone screen stays on after 15 seconds of receiving the text i have to press the power button in order to shut the screen which its ok when im around the phone not charge but when i leave in my desk for a while i dont get the chance to turn off the screen so the screen stays on n kills the battery its weird. I even disable the pop out in lockscreen on message settings and still the same. Set the display to turn off at 15 seconds n doesnt help :-/ sucks

Hello everyone,
Since my S4 is on 4.4.2, it's always awake when the screen is on, even if I'm not using any apps, which wasn't the case before the update. I'm rooted and used BetterBatteryStats, but I can't find any processes or wakelocks causing it. Screen-on time is pretty bad. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Factory reset didn't help.
Thanks!
Come on...Is this really the skill level of XDA now?
If your screen is on, then your phone is awake. How should it display anything on the screen while your phone is sleeping?
Your screen on time is perfectly normal.
Be easy man I saw this problem few times, he is talking right but I dont have a solution

No, awake means the phone is actively doing something. Before the update, I've browsed websites for hours without the phone being awake at all.
For example, the stats of a GSG4 Mini on 4.3:

No you didn't.
The battery stats screen might have been saying that, but it was a reporting error by the stats monitor. You absolutely positively under no circumstances were browsing the web without the phone being awake.
Also your battery stats screens are not showing that the screen is on constantly. It's showing that your WIFI is on constantly.
I don't think WIFI is the problem here. With the screenshots I just wanted to show that the phone is awake (and using relatively much power) as soon as the screen is turned on, and doesn't stop until it's off. On the mini/before the update the phone wasn't constantly awake while the screen was on, as shown in the previous screenshot.
Any ideas how to stop it? Or is this just a quirk of KitKat? I'd be glad if someone could check their battery stats on their device.

Dude, your other phone was awake when the screen was on. Period.
All phones are awake when the screen it on. Period.
It doesn't matter what battery stats or monitors say. If they said the phone was asleep while the screen was on and while you were actively using it, the stats were wrong.
If the screen is on, the phone is awake and the processor is processing stuff. There is no grey area here. There is no possible way a phone's screen it on and its displaying an image without the processor being awake and active. It's physically impossible.
