Sweep to wake and battery use - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From the attached screen shot I'm guessing sweep to wake uses a fair amount of battery? Screen on time is 10 mins at time of screen shot.

Looks pretty normal to me , the first 15% always gets sucked down quick , its pretty normal even without s2w , disable s2w bet u get about the same , s2w isn't a finished product yet u should expect " issues " for a while

That screenshot wouldn't tell you anything. You'd need to post a screenshot of the kernel wakelocks from the app BBS.

Log the battery usage with the currentwidget then update please.

How would that tell you anything? You need to determine power usage while the screen is locked and off, and if there is anything that is activating wakelocks. Ideally, you should test with and without the swipe feature by setting a "custom reference point" in BBS and locking the screen for 2-4 hours and posting both screenshots for a decent before/after comparison.

I shall take all your advice on board and report back. I'm running AOKP and faux kernel beta7 on power save mode. Will wait till this charge dies then do a charge cycle with S2W running and one without
Cheers
PS the only reason i posted so soon is usually before i stayed using S2W my battery wouldn't have dropped by that much already

It would tell you if the phone is sleeping or awake. Yes BBS is better, but there is nothing wrong with taking a round about way either.

From what I remember, current widget is only a widget. Correct me if I'm wrong. So, you would need to have your device on and awake in order to read it. Or, does it graph awake times over time?

I am correcting you because you are wrong
Current widget logs the current every set seconds. 300 is my choice btw.
Wake up in the morning, check the log and do this without s2w next day.

have you waken up? =P i'd like to see some results. thanks in advide to those who test this.

Screen on always more than Awake in Battery

Ho is this possible? On my GS3 the screen is always less and it makes sense because if the screen is on the phone is awake but also the phone wakes up when the screen is off if there are background processes waking up the phone for network activity or something. On the Nexus 4 (or maybe it's a 4.2 thing) the Screen on time is always more.
Any ideas?
Mine shows the same. Maybe it's just an error in that graphic? I've looked back after using the phone for a while and it didn't show that is was awake in the graph but did show screen on.

It's very annoying because I used to check it a lot on my S3 to check to see if the phone has been waking up a lot during screen off but now I can't use it. Yes there are alternatives like BetterBatteryStats and I do use that but this provided an easy and quick way to just see it.
What bothers me is not knowing if this is an actual bug or if Google has changed the way things work?
Using betterbatterystats is a good idea to get a second set of eyes on things, and then compare.
Edit: looking at the chart again I bet it only shows awake times on the awake chart when the screen is off. Screen on implies it's awake so it eliminates some redundancy doing it this way.

Actually it all makes sense. It is more useful for us to see the times the phone is awake when the screen is off. This is what it is showing. It's assumed awake when the screen is on, no need to track it separately.

No this is clearly a bug. You were right in your original post. Besides, go to the wake lock thread and look at those screenshots. It is NOT reporting all of the time that the phone is awake when the screen is off.

I wonder if the devs know about this. I'm running AOKP and it's the same thing as on stock.
It's a partial wakelock preventing your phone from sleeping. Use betterbatterystats to debug what it is and let us know whats the wakelock.

That's not what we are talking about broseph. Look at attached screenshot. My phone has been off charger for a long time, screen on for about 2.5 hours. But notice how it shows the phone hasn't been awake AT ALL, even when the screen is on. Clearly that's a bug - the battery stats graph is failing to show when the phone is awake. You see this literally in every 4.2 battery screenshot.

I think what's going on is, as stated earlier, it doesn't show "awake" anywhere in that chart because your phone was never awake and with the screen off for any significant period of time.

And as I said earlier, that's wrong. Go to the thread about the hsic wake lock. Those people have wake lock for like 30% of the time they are off charger, even if screen is never on, but even their screenshots look like the one I posted (ie, very little awake time).

n00b here, need help with battery issues

Hi there; this is my first post so please go easy on me.
Bought a Nexus 4 which is my first Android device, but the battery life is bugging the hell out of me. Surely the screen should always be at the top, right? I left it to sleep overnight on a full charge to find that it had shot down to 60% when I woke up at 7 this morning.
I haven't rooted or flashed or anything like that, because as I said, I'm an Android virgin. I have location settings off, only Gmail syncing and the usual push notifications here and there. Nothing too fancy or strenuous.
Any help on how I can go around fixing this? I'm a little afraid to rooting/flashing/ROMs etc, because I've no clue what works best.
Cheers!
If your saying you left the screen on over night, meaning the phone never went into deep sleep.. If you slept for let's say 6 hours and the phones screen was on for that whole time it's normal that it went down to sixty percent battery.
Maybe I'm understanding your post wrong? Btw I cannot see the picture you posted.

Turn off mobile data and lower the screen brightness to 0 during the day. Also disable WiFi when you're sleeping. I also make sure all apps are closed using the app manager button on the far right.
Mine's been fine following this logic.
Oh sorry, I should meant sleeping overnight, whilst I slept cosily in my bed.
I'll reattach the image in a second

This is NOT the answer. His battery in the image has dropped 7%. If he hasn't used the screen much it is perfectly understandable that screen might not be a large percentage of that 7%. As he uses the phone more screen will use a larger percentage of his battery and Android OS will use less.
If he gets to the point where the screen is on for an hour or two and the percentages are still like this then yes there is a problem.

Actually No the "Screen" should not always be at the top of the stat list. If you use the phone more than it idles, then yes... but if you are like me, mine says "Phone Idle: 20%" (which is on top) and "Screen" is 4th on the list with 12% (Wi-Fi and Cell standby above it) [this is my personal phone, and I mostly use my work phone. hence the high Idle & standby]
I was having an issue with my phone running out of battery, with very little usage from it. I mean very little, I might make 2 calls from it each day, and respond to an email now and then. I found that an App was preventing my Screen from going into "Deep Sleep" or even "Sleeping" possibly. So I uninstalled all apps (well I only had like 4 additional apps installed), except for 2 that I need (Google Voice & Drive). Powered off the phone, charged it fully, then powered back on. Its been running on the same charge for 24+hrs now and reads 68% battery remaining.
So check the apps you have installed, some use background data, and might be causing problems...

And your phone is the definitive guide for what Android OS usage is? Maybe his phone woke up those services for a period of time longer than normal.
The answer of "lol looks wrong root and install kernel" is terrible advice when so little information is given.

A longer battery graph would help a lot. If yuppy want top search XDA there is a free app called better battery stats that will help you diagnose if something is running in the background eating battery or even if your phone I'd properly entering deep sleep.

See now it is much easier to see that you actually do have a problem and what it is. You have the wakelock problem as you can see from Better Battery Stats which falls under Android OS on the other screen. It also appears that you have somewhat weak signal which could cause the wakelock to drain battery even more. There's not much you can do about that wake lock, some kernels have patches for it but those have their own issues as well.

Could I just install any kernel on stock android and be OK with it? As I've said I've no idea what's best for me; just something nice and clean that doesn't have issues like this. I live onsite where I work so my WiFi is pretty much on all the time if that helps in anyway whatsoever
I'm gonna let it run down completely tonight and charge it, but I don't expect it to help much.

Fully charged overnight, battery still sinking like a ship. 45 minutes and I'm already down to 94% already!

The battery on the n4 seems horrible.
I'm completely stock I just got my phone yesterday, I charged it to 100% now its at 64% battery with only 47 minutes of screen on time.
on the s3 I would be around 83% with 47 minutes of screen on time.
I'm gonna unlock the boot loader and root soon and try Franco kernel I've been reading good things about it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The battery life on the stock kernel isn't great because the CPU management isn't optimized well. It ramps up the CPU (frequency, number of active cores...) very easily and keeps it there long, which removes the occasional lag but sucks more battery. Flashing a more battery friendly kernel would definitely help you if that is the root of your battery issues and not a badly coded app.
Franco's kernel is a very popular one, and very battery friendly compared to stock (and that doesn't mean you lose performance). It is the one I'm currently using. Most people report of screen on times of 4 or 5 hours. With not so heavy usage and wifi (not 3g) I can also pass 5 hrs.
To install a kernel you need to unlock your boot loader and install a custom recovery. No need to root, but.. why not since you're at it
You can try different kernels with the stock ROM. You don't necessarily need a custom ROM. Just be careful to read the dev's OP and instructions, and definitely not to flash a kernel for another device.
Also another thing that reduces battery is your mobile data, if there are a lot of programs that sync on the background. You can use a program that turns off your mobile data when your screen is off and switch it back on just for a sync every xx minutes. Juice Defender is such app, though I like to use Tasker for that. If you use Tasker and are interested in that project, ask or send me a pm. It works great.

Horrendous Battery Life.

So I see some people on here getting 9+ hours of screen on time on here. That is AMAZING. I know basically everything has to do the user. But I have attached some screenshots with about 30% battery left. I was wondering if anybody could help me out. Or any out of the ordinary tips.
it looks like you're using your phone a lot, and should get over 4 hours of screen on time. Perhaps you can reduce your screen brightness or something, turn off GPS, location reporting etc.
BTW, theres no way anyone would get 9 hours screen on time on a note 3, with reasonable screen brightness. I average 5 hours, less if I'm using more system taxing apps.
I assume if your on xda your rooted. My saving grace is under clocking. I use my tablet for gaming but I have about an two hours of screen on time, four hours of talk time and about an hour of maps and I'm currently sitting at 73%. Also if you don't want to run a custom rom freeze everything you'll never use and greenify everything keeping your phone awake. With light usage I can get 4 days on a charge. As soon as I get money in going to get the 10 mha battery. There is a review on xda where the guy could get 2 days of screen on time and like a day and a half of gps/map usage.

I would start with quick things to check....disable GPS/location settings, disable Sync altogether(via status bar toggle) if you don't mind not getting your Twitter updates(see it's using 3% of battery in your screenshot), disable NFC if it's on, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not connected
Also check out your RED mobile data signal in your screenshot and see if you can fix that, "signal hunting" when your phone doesn't have a good data signal really hurts battery life greatly
Next I would install an app like Wakelock Detector, open it, and change the view to "Wakeup Triggers" and after your phone has lots of time with the screen off, come back to it and see what's causing your phone to "wake up" when it's trying to "sleep" when screen=off

My charge wont last even 2 hours screen on time.
Pls help me i tried to calibrate but it just made it worse.
You need to figure out what's drainng the battery. Get gsam or betterbatterystats to figure out what's causing it. Anything else is just a guess.

If you don't see anything unusual after a few hours of using GSAM/BBS, no extreme wake locks or times held awake, I would then do a factory reset and see if the problem continues, if it does then you may have a bad battery and it will need to be replaced, it is not difficult to do, a simple YouTube search will show you tons of examples of how to do it.
If that isn't it, although it is rare, you would have bad hardware and need to get the device serviced or replaced.

Download and install from the playstore the app Wakelock detector, let your N4 get to 100% in battery and unplug it and try to use it as usual. When it reaches 10 or 5% take a screenshot of wakelock detector and post it here. Try also to take a screenshot of GSAM or Betterbatterystats.

Kernels and roms make very little difference. It's how you use the device and the wake locks you get. Without something like gsam or bbs it's only a guess what's causing the issues.

this, absolutely right. battery life depends on how you personally use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you have installed, and mostly on the quality of the phone/data connection that you have.
İ dont think its a software problem guys.My newest stats: http://i.hizliresim.com/rLNLAB.png
Any calibrating suggestions?
We need more detailed information than this to troubleshoot this... Without that information we can't really help. We need screen shots of Wake lock Detector, BBS, or GSAM. GSAM is the easiest to interpret, so shots of the main screen, app sucker set to time held awake, screen and radio would be needed to assist further, in English if possible.

Everything does not look fine...Two things that's bothering me looking at this is the GSAM shot, it is showing you drawing 1500+ma off the battery... Seems very excessive, I usually see 350-900ma at most (433ma at moment). And the 41% of usage by the screen in just over an hour use seems kinda high, what is your screen brightness set at, and what does the GSAM Screen usage screen say, anything in the Medium or higher category is using very significant battery.

"Calibrate" is a misnomer, it will not affect battery life or current draw, years ago in the Froyo/Gingerbread days you would wipe the battery calibration file to reset the display and estimated run-time remaining, it doesn't affect actual battery use or life, just how it is displayed and runtimes are calculated. You can always download a Battery Calibration app from the Play Store and use it, it won't hurt anything but I believe most require root access. I have seen some discussion that this is irrelevant in KitKat since the file is rebuilt on each boot, but I can't verify that.
Honestly though, when I look at your GSAM screen with 2:40 average screen time and just over 3 hours max, this part doesn't look unusual, but it doesn't jive with the screen shot showing 1:19 screen time using 42% of the battery... you are at 12% after 10.5 hours, the phone is obviously sleeping properly (only 28min held awake over 10+ hours is quite good), but at the same time you are showing 5%+ per hour drain. A little puzzling but not outside of the realm of normal.
I'm not really sure what else to say, every phone is different, this may be normal for your device, without screen shots of app sucker and screen usage in GSAM I can't really say anymore... try the standard stuff like switch to Device Only in location services to stop Google Play Services drain, lock the screen brightness at 20-30%, disable syncs, etc.
Of course, this could be something in hardware too... I had a Samsung once that no matter what would drain 5-10% per hour well sleeping even in airplane mode, yet no one else in the forums ever commented that theirs did, turned out it was just a lemon, a replacement would drain less than 1% per hour.

Stock Android 4.2.2 without root and with Greenify and Advanced Task Killer.
WiFi, 3G, Data and Sync are enabled.
I usually get only 24 hours on my S4 mini, so basically day + night, so I have to charge every night. I have wfi turned only at home (using Llama app). At midnight I turn off wifi and sync. It turns on at 6:00 in the morning. I have accuweather widget and one IMAP email account (using IMAP PUSH) syncing.
Is it normal that having Wifi turned on consumes so much more battery? It is visible very good in the screenshot and it is the same effect every day. Screen time on the screenshot was only 1h20m. I have brightness set to Auto -3.

simply question have you restarted the device? because android os seems to consumes a lot of power. You also should install wakelock detector from playstore and look what app consumes so much power
Hey all i have a question can you all show me which your screen on time is that you will get usually with the stock battery? Thx to all in this thread who post their stats
