Hi folks,
I'm a developer at Facebook on the Android team. First off, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have identified the bug that is causing this battery drain and are working on a fix now. As soon as the patch is ready, we'll push out an update. Thanks for the quick feedback and for your patience as we get this fixed!
Thanks,
David

He only has 1 post, so he hasn't posted this elsewhere. Thought others would be interested in seeing this.
Ahh, good to know that official..
Good news. Looks like the fix is out version 1.3.1
I just downloaded it. Hopefully I'll have better battery life tomorrow.
Holy crap. Is that what is happening to my battery the last few days. ..
My battery had been exceptionally terrible the last 2 days as well
Noticed version 1.3.1 is out now
Update and save those batteries
I had backed up my last copy of FB. Now that the developers noticed the issue and released and update, so will I. Coo'
This may be an obvious answer, but how do we update the facebook app that's installed with the os?

Market
New update is still sucking my battery. Anyone got a link to the old version?
Edit: nevermind, you can just uninstall the updates by doing it in the market.
I wonder why some people have this problem and others don't. My friends sees the problem on his Incredible, but I don't see any drain on my N1.

Do you have the widget on the home screen? Otherwise check about phone, battery info, what's been using the battery and if android os is real high, then Facebook is probably preventing the phone from sleeping.

Your friend has more friends and hence more activity.

I havent had any problems with the new update, but then again, my facebook 'sync' options have never been enabled. I think today facebook updated itself again
I don't do anything with Facebook, but I do have the updated app installed and logged in. About 30 friends, sync with contacts, and no battery drain at all. System panel shows only 5 seconds of CPU time used over the last 8 hours.
Well I skipped Facebook 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 because of the battery drain. Today installed 1.3.2 and in 53 minutes the Facebook app was good for 50 minutes of partial wake time.
(and this is with update notifications set to never, etc.)
Uninstalled....reverted back to 1.2 and now no more partial wake usage from the app!
Having installed 1.3.2 my partial wake time is only 14s since unplugged for Facebook. I've got it set to notify me for messages and friend requests, plus it syncs contacts already in the phone. That said never had issues on 1.3.1.
Does anyone has the version 1.2 apk saved somewhere ? I'm looking for it and I can't desinstall the updates unfortunately.
Thank you in advance!
Any hosting service would do the trick
I haven't had a single problem in a week out of Facebook, in fact only the first day of using 1.3.1.
I have had problems with my phone sometimes refusing to sleep, causing my battery to drain..
today I think I found the culprit. Seems to be the stock email application that is the problem. After I stopped this the phone goes to sleep again.
Can anyone experiencing this problem verify? It could of course be other applications also.
I think I read something about a Samsung Email application. Is this available somewhere? For 2.1?
firstable you didn't tell us which app was the cause.
So which app was it?
I had something similar, but i knew because i ticked the option to stay on, problem is even after i exited the software, the phone remained on.
it was a bug in wifi scanner app on android market
so after going back in and ticked it off again, then the phone was able to go to sleep properly.
Samsung push email and IM come stock, it can be installed by going into Samsung App icon in your phone

BTW. I don't have any email applications in Samsung Apps
So what other email application with exchange sync is recommended?
odd, you should have it
the next best thing is TouchDown 2.0 but it's paid software
maybe some one can upload the samsung APK for the mail push and IM for you.
in the Apps section of the site, some one uploaded the full APK of all samsung apps
see if you can find the topic
if only there's an app in the market showing what's causing the phone not to sleep in details.
searched everywhere to no avail ):

JM7/8 + Voodoo and using WiFi causes the phone not to sleep.
What firmware do you have?
JM8 + Voodoo.. but when I killed the email application, the phone started to sleep again.. I haven't dared to start email since It's still sleeping when it should.

*#*#4636#*#*
Battery History
Change "Other usage" to "Partial wake usage"
This should show you what application are keeping the phone from sleeping.
Hey there,
yesterday i was searching around the web cause of my battery drain (my hd2 was empty in <1 day).
Then i found an market app: Battery FU
What does it do? It simply disables mobile data connection, when the hd2 is in standby. after wake up the phone, the network is connecting.
now i lost 4-5% of my battery in ~4h in normal use.
Thats great!
Give it a try and post your experience.
(And sorry, if this is already posted)

Though it does save some battery...but I found it causes more data drops...maybe it'll work for you though..
so no background sync ? quite useless for a smartphone :-/

It's called manual update. I actually prefer to sync apps myself, then to have them doing it themselves all the time. So to each, his own...
Thanks for the tip, Prexx.

+1, Agree.
Why should my HD2 update the latests news all the time, when i just look every 1-2h on it? Makes no sense for me.
When i want to read them, i open the facebook-app or whatever, update the news and read them.

No problem.
Little update:
8,5h without charging: 80% battery (normal use).

Manual sync is fine for news, facebook, etc but for emails/Google Voice you want push notifications.

Definitely +1 for that. I rely on my emails too much to have to manually update them every 15 mins, but it does sound like for some it could be really good.
I am loving my phone but have been experiencing a lot of wakelocks. I've read Facebook causes an issue but have done my best to keep the app from running. I don't really know how to use better battery stats but below are some pictures of it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The issue is definitely Facebook Messenger.
Check THIS thread.
Anyone notice Facebook battery drain, well should I say abnormal drain. Using bbs it comes up as kernel keeping the device from going to deep sleep, but it's Facebook. If I'm on Facebook or was on Facebook and turn off phone it doesn't go into deep sleep at all, however if I clear Facebook from recents it goes into sleep immediatly. I can reproduce this every time. Have also reinstalled Facebook and cleared cache, to no avail. I'm familiar with other options so posts regarding that is useless. Just looking to see if anyone else has noticed or can reproduce the same behavior. Happens on stock and em kernel

Silly question, but have you restricted background battery usage for the Facebook app?
Uninstall Facebook = no privacy leaked, no wake up clock.

Yep, on any battery app, it was showing the kernel causing the drain, I had to literally watch the sleep times. If I closed it in recents it would be fine , but if I just turned off phone...drain

Lol I installed fb lite
Mate you are opening a thread to talk about Facebook drain. This has been a thing since Facebook was released to Android. Old News. Uninstall or block Facebook. Easy as... It is not an hardware issue nor a software issue related with OnePlus.
Just saying.

I'm not talking about normal drain, I'm talking about fb preventing deep sleep, and I know it's not a hardware issue, the purpose of the thread was to maybe help someone who is wondering why they aren't getting good battery life, but I see the idea of helping someone may be foreign to you
Facebook does not have a normal drain. It has constant wake up clocks.

Ok so you just want to argue and I'll bite, what part of NO DEEP SLEEP are you not comprehending. At no it's not normal, even for Facebook
I understand everything that you are saying. Search on all device forums on XDA. EVERYONE has the same issue. Google is your friend.

There was no need to search as I saw what the problem was, and it only started happening after fb last update. Facebook has alot of wake ups but this is something different, and even when the app was closed my frequencies would be pegged. Just because you think you know and I know, doesn't me some random person may stroll across this and it be helpful to them
Did anyone try to disable battery optimisation for FB and test?
