Wifi--->Advanced--->Wifi Optimisation? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone tell me what this does?
I've heard it mentioned that it uses more battery but the text under the switch says that it reduces battery usage!
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

I don't remember where I saw it, but was told it only takes effect during sleep. So, wifi usage while screen-on is not impacted by this setting. When the tablet is sleeping, there's some kind of power-saving with Wifi, assuming you allow it to stay on. I don't notice any change in battery with it on or off. My tablet sleeps well, so others might have a different experience.

Specific battery life issues

I have had a rooted atrix since release date.
The battery life has been frustratingly bad.
Right now (9am) I am at 86% with the screen having been on 26m.
It's very very very common for my "running" time in spare parts to be 2-3x my screen on time.
Partial wake usage is led by the process: UID 1001, followed by Android System.
Network usage is dominated by process "0" followed by android system. "0" is so far in the lead it is unreal.
My total in all time stats are:
Running 28%
Screen on 14.1%
Phone on 1.5%
Wifi on 30.5% (??????????????)
Wifi running 17.3% (Even more ????????????????????)
I have frozen all of the recommended freezing apps. I have beautiful weather set to refresh every 2 hours. Facebook, twitter, etc, aren't set to notify me at all. I have no idea why it's so bad.
It's coming to the point where i'm about to give up. My nexus one gave me better battery life.
I've already tried a factory reset, is there something i'm overlooking?
What is UID 1001? What is "0"?
The most frustrating phone I've ever owned. It is so close to greatness. I wish I could get rid of this terrible terrible terrible motorola blue garbage.
I've been struggling with battery life too for some reason. If you have Tango installed, get rid of it. That app didn't let your phone sleep and drained battery. Now my problem is the sensor usage when I check my battery history in *#*#INFO#*#*. Android system has been using the sensor 100% of the time for me. I factory reset it, but that didn't work either. I'm really contemplating going back to my N1 too, which is such a shame since this Atrix has so much potential

Which radios do you have on:
-gps
-bluetooth
-wifi
Do you have 'autosync' turned on?
P.S How long until your phone goes from 100% to 0%?

I turn wifi on and off. On a home off at work. Gps is on. No bluetooth ever. Autosync is on I guess. It may be frozen though.
Right now my phone is at 63% and the screen has only been on 37 minutes! This is pathetic.

Has your phone ever gotten down to 5%-10% or do you always recharge it before then? I've had issues in the past where a lith-ion battery loses lots of its capacity until completely drained and then completely recharged. It seems way to early for this for you, but it might help. From my limited experience, gps is very very costly in terms of battery.

Draining a li-on battery completely more than once a month damages the battery. It's a very bad practice.
I'm having the same issue with UID 1001 under Partial Wake Usage and I also have the 0 under Network Usage. Under Partial Wakelock it shows UID 1001 and a total time of 7h 7m 30s under Total in all time. I've tried a hard reset and still showed up. Have you guys checked to see if you are getting the same thing. If people are getting good battery but have this then I'll feel a little better. I just thought it was weird. I still get this even with WiFi, BT and GPS off.
Under Network Usage the 0 is pretty much all blue all the way across and a little bit of pink at the end. If i try to click on it "Settings has stopped unexpectedly" message.
The battery doesn't seem to last as long as my n1. With my n1 I still have roughly half when I get home from work. The atrix was at 30 or so when I got home today and its been similar most of the times.

I am also not terribly happy with the battery usage. Maybe its because I have WiFi on all the time?
Also, just having bluetooth on (but not connected to any BT devices), shouldn't be a big drain on the device.
The main auto-sync feature I have is Exchange push notifications. Gmail only syncs every 3 hours.
I also have device running time on Spare Parts higher than Screen On Time.
I am going to try a factory reset and add applications one by one to see if that has any effect.
I've let it fully discharge once. I just can't sort it out. People in the other threads are getting 1+ DAYS uptime.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
With light usage I was originally down to about 20% at the end of the day. That's now improved to 50-60% charge after installing the 'green power' app recommended in another thread and further improved by turning off the auto brightness.
Auto brightness is good but needs to be reduced by about 30% to be useful.
Gps Navigation with google is the biggest battery drained I've seen so far. Its on the order of using 1% charge per minute. Im hoping that an offine nav app will be more efficient.

There are a lot of reviews stating that spareparts IS the cause of battery issues. Maybe uninstall that and use the built in battery manager to determine use?

Really? It seems to just be a monitoring app.

One day stand by and battery drop to 50%

I bought my transformer and updated it to 3.1 on day one. So I don't know how good battery performance is in 3.0. But after updating to 3.1, one day stand by drops the battery level to 50% with wifi on. Is it normal?
That would seem normal to me if you're leaving your wifi on all the time. Really it all depends on how many background services you keep running while the device is in standby. In my case when I first got my TF, the wifi was never set to turn off while in standby, so all of my accounts and application synchronization continued while the screen was off. My battery typically lasts about a day or two if I allow those services to run when the device is not in use.
If instead you turn off the wifi, sync, and even live wallpaper, you should be able to get a few extra days of standby time.
Normal for me is 3-4% drains overnight with wifi on. Sometimes it will drain ~20%, and goes back to normal after I reboot it. Must be some rogue app or something causing problems.
It lasts a lot longer if you turn wifi off.
Better yet, check out JuiceDefender. It has a free version and paid versions that give you more control/settings. Try the free one. If you need better control, then buy it. I don't buy lots of apps as usually the free ones do it for me, but it really works well.
The only other app I bought was TitaniunBackup (for my phone, but as it turns it, once you root the TF, it works there too.)
Other threads already started here seem to indicate that while docked the TF will drain at around 5%/hour while in standby (wi-fi or no) and 2%/hour while completely turned off.
This is not the case when the TF is not docked so this is not necessarily a question of having wifi on or rogue apps.
I would not consider this an acceptable drainage level. Hope Asus is looking at this problem and a firmware update will fix this...
Otherwise, very satisfied with the combo.

yeah, I was expecting much longer stand by time even with wifi on from a tablet. Asus should fix this to be at least close to what ipad does.

Others may correct me but I think the standby time with wifi for the tablet is ok. The battery life is a problem only when the TF is docked.
Nothing wrong at all with the battery life, not sure where Asus are getting their 8 hour battery life from, I have far exceeded 8 hours and have currently been going over 5 days (still with 20% left)
i think the battery life is based on playing 720p video at a certain screen brightness(60 nips or nits i think but i have no clue what that means) of course you can get more life depending on what you're using
and i guess everyone has different opinions on acceptable drain but i wouldn't expect my laptop to last more than 2 days if its internet connection is on and sync'ing so why expect a tablet? laptops(that i've used) shut off connections and do nothing when left alone to save battery
people who need their tablet to last for days while not in use(or very minimal use) should just turn off wifi(or turn off the tablet) when you're not going to use it for hours... or leave it charging
Concerning battery drain of the keyboard dock when the tablet is sleeping:
There is a setting SCREEN>MobileDock Battery Saving Mode.
"Disables wake-up function on keyboard when the device is asleep to save more power"
I have to assume this setting should be checked. If not, that may be why your battery doesn't last long when asleep.
Asus states 9.5h (9h30m) battery life on tablet alone, see bottom of this page, *1:
http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/
they tested 720p video @ 60 nits (lowest screen brightness), I think with wifi on.
prior to 3.1 update I've been getting 9h15m to 9h25m per charge.
I use the TF for 2-3 hours at a time and shut it off (not put to sleep) when not using.
since 3.1 the best I got was 8h15m on a charge (same type of use as before).
I went through TF settings, i monitor the apps, got rid of all my Widgets and still am getting over an hour less per charge than before 3.1 update....
there has got to be some kind of a bug in the new release.
granted, there are some welcome improvements in 3.1, but this battery life issue bugs me
I hope Asus fixes it in the next update.

I really hate to be "that guy", but who cares?
As long as it lasts through a day of normal use, you charge it at night, and that's that. I never understood the obsession with "My device gets 5 days without a charge!" Good for you. Those of us who have electrical outlets only need 1 day. Unless you're doing something special that requires you to be away from an electrical outlet for several days at a time, it really shouldn't matter. If that is the case, it's probably your responsibility to look into ways of saving power.
Cutting WiFi while inactive is one solution. Keeping it charged while idle is another.
Stand by doesn't mean 0 battery is used, it means less battery is used. I'd say 50% is pretty decent after 24 hours of inactivity.

Is my Nexus 10 faulty?

I've had it for around a week now but I've yet to get over 6hrs battery life. I keep the display on the dimmest setting, have no bluetooth or anything on apart from wifi. I keep location services and Google Now off and I use it mainly for Internet browsing, you tube and a couple of bejewelled type games for around 10 mins a day. I haven't watched any films on it or played any real heavy duty cpu smashing games at all.
No matter what I do, I just don't get any more than 6hrs before I get the 15% battery warning.
I don't appear to have any wake locks, the battery graph shows that when the display is off, the tablet never seems to be awake.
I installed Better Battery Stats but I don't really understand what to look for.
Can anyone suggest anything before I give Google a call and they tell me factory reset and try again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mind posting a picture of your betterbattery with:
-Partial wake locks since boot
-Other since boot
If you use it like you explained you should be getting more than 6 hours.
I'm using a custom rom and kernel so that might explain why I can idle for an entire day and only lose around 6-8% depending on how many emails I get.
Typically I get around 8 hours of use which includes watching movies over stream, YouTube, flip board, email, xda surfing, and a few other things.

Charge your device to 100% and use your device the way you typically have been. Once you get down to red numbers, post a screen shot of the regular Android system battery usage. That might give a better picture of what's going on.
You can also charge to 100% and disconnect from the charger and let your device idle. Better battery stats is a better tool to use when you aren't using your tablet, and you are experiencing battery drain.
Also, you didn't mention whether you are stock, rooted, or rooted and ROM'ed. Please do that and we can go from there.

You said 6 hours battery life in OP, implying you were getting that battery life for the device... ._.
Congrats. You have a normal device... People may be using screen filter to get those results, but why not just enjoy the screen instead of gimping it for an extra hour or two of dimly viewed screen...It's not too tough to charge it overnight.

And if its really that big an issue, go get KTManta, Franco, or any kernel that lets you reduce the maximum clock from 1.7 to 1.3 or 1.2 GHz. I have benchmarks for the Manta at frequencies ranging from 1.2 to 2.1GHz and there's not a big difference in performance.

Bad battery life

My Note 3 seems to be able to get only 4-5 hours of screen time while on 4G. Using Wi-Fi doesn't improve the battery life much either.
My brightness is set to auto and mostly used indoors. I've also used set cpu to limit cup usage to 960 mhz, installed greenify but nothing seems to help. Mostly surfing the web, fb, Twitter etc
I felt that I got better battery life out of it during the first week of my purchase 3 weeks ago. But ever since last week it's been getting bad.
Any ideas why?

batt life
Although the Note 3 is a beast of a phone..all the functions that it has are also battery hogs.. what you dont need to use frequently, can be turned off with the factory toggles..
things like air gesture, command, motions, (turning power sav mode on) wifi off, live wallpapers, lookout antivirus, and if you press the 3 line icon at top right, there are 20 functions that can potentially drain battery..nfc, air view, smart stay..etc.. also, try battery doctor app to help control additional consumption. Turn the fucntions on only as needed..
OR- Get an extended battery or just a battery like mugen or zero lemon battery..with extra power within same parameters, similar dimensions. etc. hope this helps. REMEMBER - like a cop car, that has all those lights, radios, laptop- they run a bigger battery AND a huge alternator.
I have all the fancy system apps and features already disabled with root app delete. What's weird is it happens when I'm doing basic web brwosing.
The battery also seems to be draining at 1% per hour while the screen is turned off, is this supposed to happen?
Or could it be a faulty battery?

Use juice defender to turn off data when your phone is not being used (deep sleep), use this as a temporary measure I would say while u use the various battery stats monitoring tools to find the actual culprit.
Sounds like an app issue. Have you installed any new apps recently that may coincide with the sudden poor battery performance? I don't use any power saving apps and leave all my Samsung features enabled and still get over a full day's worth of use.
Are you in a poor reception area? Perhaps you should consider a factory reset. If that doesn't change anything, exchange your device for a new one.

How is that a problem
Are you saying that if you left your phone fully charged and didnt touch it. It would last over 4 days
and you think this is bad battery life
Many many factors can cause battery drain apps you use sync of apps,signal strength,brightness,sensors,google now,s-voice etc.
themes you use
Using black themes will use less battery because an led display will turn off the black areas of the screen etc which is how it achieves the best black contrasts.
I myself have the same use 4-5 hrs of on screen battery which i find great as i can take my phone and use it all day without a problem
people who have 7-8 hrs of on screen time per day on there phone should really seek counselling or go to AA meetings as you have a problem
As to disabling features of the phone Buying a smartphone and disabling all the features that make it a smart phone is pretty pointless if you ask me
It's been the same for me. The first couple of weeks I had the phone the battery was amazing. I could last 2 days easily with heavy usage. I'd say since the most recent update I had on this phone the battery life has been draining significantly faster. I now have to charge my phone each night as it is always hovering around 30%
Do you guys think the update has anything to do with this issue?

Doze not what expected

When I got my N6P, I had expected standby time to be amazing thanks to Android Doze. My first day of use shows a lot of "awake" activity during the time when the phone is sitting on my bed side table, completely motionless.
Has anyone else had experience with their N6P doing the same? Am I doing something wrong that caused Doze to never activate?
As a frame of reference, when I went to bed the phone was at 47%. I took the screenshots when I woke up this morning.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but you have activated it haven't you?

I activated mine when my phone arrived. Settings>battery then use the battery menu and select battery optimisation.
Very frustrating reading replies that say Doze must somehow be turned on. It DOES NOT have to be turned on. It's interwoven into Marshmallow automatically.
You can tinker with battery optimizations within the phone's battery settings, but that's about it.
Note: If your phone needs to conduct maintenance (update apps over WiFi, etc.) doze may not kick in the way you think. If your phone has nothing to do and is sitting still for an extended period of time, it'll enter Doze and only sip battery.
You can try greenify beta it has aggressive doze when screen goes off, just whitelist the apps you need to notify you immediately.

Sorry, my bad. Battery optimisation is separate from doze then?
I'm seeing the same problem. 20% depleted in 7 hours overnight just sitting on my nightstand. Deep sleep in better battery stats showed 95%. Not sure what's going on.
How's your charging speed? It's nowhere close to what others are seeing. Even though it shows rapid charging, the amount of time to fully charge is high. 3 hours from 25%. 45 mins from 85% etc. Are you getting fast charging times? I can understand some process binging on my battery while running. I'm getting no more than 3 to 4 hours screen on time. But I don't understand why I would have slow charging times. But if you are also seeing slower charging time, then perhaps it could be.

Looks like it could be Tasker. I'm going to uninstall it and see what happens.

Doze works great for me. For example, during the night, I only lose like 3 percent battery life. That's pretty freaking low. It's like I went to sleep at 75% and woke up at 72%. Very effective imo.
By the looks of it, doze should be on by default. Going into settings/battery/battery optimization-just shows which are optimized and which aren't. It's not an on/off thing.
The only apps I can't optimize is Android OS and dm service. What's dm service anyway

Unfortunately, that's done nothing. Lost 5% in 1 hour just sitting. BBS shows 76% in deep sleep. Screen on 1%. Awake (Screen off) 25%.
This was about 5 hours untouched on my table last night... Working fine...
The the thing I don't really like about doze is, it only works if the phone is flat on a table... Any type of movement, be it in pocket or even on the car dash, it won't come into play...

That horiztonal bar (a clear indication of Doze) just doesn't happen when leaving my phone overnight. The "awake" bars at the bottom of the battery screen in Settings is also switching on and off periodically when the phone should be dozing.
Does that mean a third-party app is the cause?

My guess is yes, some app is staying awake.
It would also explain slow charging....something is eating up CPU cycles and preventing the phone from idling down and sleeping.
It isnt just a 6P thing either....my LG G2 with numerous ROMs/kernels has occasionally experienced issues like this. Almost 100% of the time it could be traced to an app that was misbehaving. You can use a battery tracking app (GSM battery monitor, better battery stats, etc) to get more detailed info. If you arent rooted Im not sure how detailed the info can get, but its probably a lot better than the stock battery graph.
