Anyone else having partial wakelocks/worse battery life after JB OTA?

Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone happens to be getting a lot of partial wakelocks without screen on or if your overall battery life has decreased since installing the 4.1.1 OTA. When I first purchased the phone, I had very very few incidents under my battery info where I would have a session awake without the screen on. Post update, seems like I've got a ton of really small wakes with no screen activity. I have turned off Google Now and every GPS/Location setting I could find. Downloaded Better Battery Stats today so I'm going to see if I can get some better info on what's going on, new to the program though and I don't understand most of the info that it reads.
Prior to the update, letting my phone sit overnight I would maybe see a 3 or 4% drop over the course of say six or seven hours. Now I'm seeing a 3 to 4% drop in battery per hour, more if I'm actively using the phone. I'm going to do more testing, specifically overnight to see how it fairs. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues.

I am noticing the same thing. Don't know the cause. Keep sync off all day.

Im getting the fast dormancy symptom again... no matter what i tried I cant fix it... always connecting as HSPDA+ even if im not using......anyone got any ideas?

Hmm, might try a factory reset and not installing any apps at all and seeing how it fairs. By chance, do you guys have any of the stock bloatware apps disabled? Not rooted/Frozen, but just disabled via the apps menu? Wondering if perhaps disabling any of them might be a trigger.

Yea i'm getting that. I'm using 13% overnight now vs like 4% before. Not sure about the wakelocks though.
Some random things I've noticed are the blur widget resets itself alot. And the transition to the settings window on the left is laggy. How would one revert back to ICS? Google Now is not that worth it to me and the phone was smooth enough before. I'd take the battery life over the new features.
I did buy a second Razr M for my girlfriend that's still on ICS. I guess I can do a side by side compare this weekend.

I am loving the update.. only issue so far is fire fox crashing..no battery issues. Must be settings guys..

i don't think it is setting i have all my syncs to manual, and i have been noticing a lot worse battery life since the update i would have 18+ hours or so off charger with pretty heavy texting / game / some voice calls. Now i'm not getting close to that. I just disabled the fast dormancy service to see if that helps any, ill post back results

Just did a factory reset today, I'm not going to disable any of the bloatware this time, and I only installed BetterBatteryStats as well as updated all the default apps in the Play Store. Going to see if I get any wakelocks this time around.
Last night, after a period of 6 hours, I had over an hours worth of partial wakelocks from AlarmManager (subheading Phone).
-Matt :good:

I disabled Google Now and my phone used 7% battery over 6 and a half hours. A little bit better.

A factory reset (annoying as it is) helped me considerably. My phone was also seriously laggy before the reset...slow like my old DX on GB, much worse than factory ICS. It finally feels smooth now, like JB should.
Still seeing a lot more wakelocks than on ICS, but it doesn't seem to be draining the battery like it was before the reset. I also removed or disabled a couple of apps that seemed to be serious offenders (Accuweather was one).

Did a reset on mine as well and did not restore from Google backup. Still seeing wakelocks, but as someone noted earlier they don't seem to be draining the battery too much. With that said, the battery does still seem to tick down much faster than on ICS. One thing I did find that helped, although honestly it's not really a solution, is turning off data use when I'm out and about just answering texts and such. If I have data/wifi disabled, I'm getting closer to the battery life that ICS was giving, but then again who wants to go around having to toggle data on and off every time you want to look something up.

Is maps showing up on your battery stats and you're not using it? If so, simply open the application. It should say "updated to the latest version" or something like that. If this is happening, this will solve your battery problems.
Happened on my Galaxy Nexus and was happening initially for this phone too. Hope this helps someone.

Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service Not Responding.
Me and my wife both updated to KitKat on our Razr M's. I like it so far. The pop up about modem fast dormancy bothers both of use. When you look under battery, it uses more battery than other apps. I force stop it, reboot and it comes right back. A chat on Motorola web site sugested to wipe partition cache. The link that was provide gives the wrong instructions. KitKat using the power and volume keys has changed. They forgot to tell some people. That didn't work! I sent a long email to Motorola telling them that someone messed up or they did this for a reason! I guess if you get mad enough you'll just buy a newer phone. If that one thing is fixed, we would both be happy. The white background in text take some getting use to also. I hope Motorola will help us, but I kind of think Razr M's will be considered OLD! They are betting we will junk them for a new model.

battery drain

Hello everyone,
My battery drains so fast and I don't know what to do.
It seems an application is open that drains it but I cannot turn it off.

Doubt it but what is true is that you and the OP did not even bother to read the rules or the stickies .
Thousands of battery drain posts all identical you cannot expect members to continually point out the basics that is not what this forum is for .
jje

You might need to close all your running applications. Plus close wifi, sync & others when not in need. Or it could also be your downloaded apps that have advertisements on it. This will automatically lights up your phone even on stand by mode. Try uninstalling them, download ad free apps on google play so you will know what are your installed apps that have ads on it. Hope these help!

Depending on what you are running on your phone, ie; Stock Samsung Official Firmware or Custom Firmware Via CWM etc,
There are many many posts about battery drain & how to solve the problem, I thought the same, but I persisted and found what I needed.
OK, I am sure you know about custom roms, some stable, some not. many have battery drain problems, many dont.
I advise if you are running a custom rom, go to the thread for that rom and read about any problems about battery, if not post in the thread
and ask the person who made the rom for help. battery drain could be anything, which includes a bad flash or installation.
Anyway I hope you get sorted.

Every time i hear somebody suggests To close almost everything that make a smartphone deferent than a common phone I wonder if android has many problems to solve.. A smartphone is smart because of the services that it offers...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Totally agree redcom7, a smartphone is just that, if everything is turned off then what's the point???
Android is not perfect but it is pretty dam good, battery drain issues are more likely in custom roms.
I am running a custom rom which I researched prior to install, now it's in it lasts on average 14 - 19 hrs longer than the Official Firmware
and that is with everything running.
You are right everything does not need turned off, just a bit of common sense mixed with research and everything should be fine. :good:

I am running omega rom.
The thing is that when I flashed this rom it didn't have battery issues. But now it does!
So I thought an application drains the battery and I wiped everything but it still drains it.
The app is called media as you can see on my screenshot.
I really don't know what to do...

I wiped battery stats and it seems better now...
I'm thinking of changing kernel. Would that help?

You have the media scanner bug. There are various solutions but the most common one is to reformat your SD card.
You can stop it happening temporarily by force closing media scanner but it will return when you reboot the phone.

'Rescan media root' solved a problem I was having with battery drain from media.
Also, I also used to think that shutting down some android services was defeating the purpose of having a smart phone. Unfortunately, I was losing 20-30% battery when at work for about 5 hours. Recently I've started switching off data while working (I can't use my phone when working anyway) and now my drain over the same amount of time would be around 5%.

After MF9 update my battery drains fast, what gives?

Before the update my battery life was ok, now it drains so fast im not sure what the update did but they need to fix this problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Check what is using a big part of your battery in the settings. Chances are that Google Services is near the top of the list. If so, delete your Google acct and then sign back in. This cured the problem for me....now, Google services settles near the bottom of the list. After doing this my battery life is much better but still a bit below battery life of MDL.

Very very vague.

Well, when it comes to these kind of things the OP has no idea what is causing the issue and apparently has done nothing different because if he did and saw a difference he would have either said what he did or reverted back to before he did whatever he did end up doing so actually it was quite clear. Something is happening as far as battery issues for him versus MDL and from what Igot from OP he has done nothing to it or done nothing different than his previously decent battery setup. Just saying.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

When did the OP say he had the same setup? You cant just assume that because he didn't say anything that it means he didn't change anything at all. He could have provided us with more info such as what ROM , kernel, mods, etc.

Amazing battery life even with the stupid Google Services drain problem. Gonna try the trick posted above. If it works the battery will be insane!

I am also having the same issue, today will be my first full day with the update so I will see how my battery life is. I have already tried deleting my google accounts.

My phone was at 100% this morning when i left for work at 7AM, i played a few races on FF6 and listened to music for a while. I am at work and it is now 8:47 and my battery is at 60% I went to the battery section and it says my screen uses 50% but i have the auto screen brighness on and the power saver mode on also. Before the update i would be at around 80% with the same use. I dont have Google Now enabled.

So, in just under 2 hours, your battery drained 40%, with about 30 minutes of on-screen time. That by itself seems to be higher than expected drain for the battery. But you indicated a few races on FF6, and listening to music (I'm not sure what FF6 is, but if it is CPU intensive, maybe that contributed to the drain).
Did you have kernel or partial wakelocks from GPS or something else? How much was your sleep time? (I think you need betterbatterystats to check that, unless you have another similar app that will give you that detail).

Also, did you guys dirty flash or did you do a full wipe when going from mdl to mf9? I think it's always a good idea to do full wipes before a flash especially after a big update.

...and just the same that you expect others to not assume they changed something - you also can't just assume that because they didn't say anything that it means he DID change anything either.
By the looks of the subsequent and actually HELPFUL posts after yours, there's enough useful information to give them some traction on a resolution. Especially for those that apparently fit the under the original assumption that they didn't change anything with the update.
Noteworthy post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43662159&postcount=15 ..a full wipe

@saintholigan. So you're saying if I had battery drain and needed some.help I would make a thread and just say. My battery life sucks, what's wrong? You would all automatically assume I didn't change anything.
@OP
I would suggest to go to a stock rooted ROM and flash a different kernel other than stock MF9, then google search "better battery stats XDA". There should be a link to XDA that has a free version. Make one or two full discharges with that app and it will tell you if there is any wakelocks or apps that might be draining your battery.

Also you want to disable power saver. From my understanding it doesn't actually save you that much battery and slows down your phone.

BATTERY DRAIN Android Core Apps HELP

My phone gets down to 70% after less than 2 hours. It used to take probably like 3 or 4 hours to get to 70%. But I've also looked at the battery status and it says "Android Core Apps" has used 33% after an hour and 47 minutes on the battery. Look at the screenshot I attached. Please help?!

I say go odin back to stock mf9 and check whether your phone still gets hot or anything and to let your battery sink in for awhile then root and install your rom. Before doing this back up apps and internal memory since it will wipe it clean.

Same, MF9 update from MDL stock, unrooted
I'm having the same issue (coming from MDL stock, unrooted).
Is it the ROM? Is it Google Play? I'm not sure anymore, but i'm severely annoyed.

I had this problem until
I was experiencing the same issue on my phone. note I'm stock and not rooted. Until I updated the samsung apps.
For some reason the samsung app store had an update and was constantly waking my phone for the update, but because I had never agreed to the TOS(becuase I never opened the app) it wouldn't update resulting in battery drain.
I stumbled on the answer in a forum in regards to the G Note II. I was skeptical as to why it wouldn;t show the samsung app as being the culprit(something about using the google services core functions to update), but I know that it worked.
I'm sure an experienced dev can better explain why it shows as android os and not the Samsung app causing the drain.
If you already removed/froze those apps though I suppose you have a different issue.

Just did that and I never opened the "Samsung Apps" app too and just got the update. Hopefully this will fix it (Google Play services drain). Thanks man!

Shut down
Battery out for 30 secs

You could try a different kernel too. I use AGAT's Kernel. That kernel gives me SO much more battery juice.

App 10037 battery drain

Hello, I've had this phone pretty much since release. I've never had any problems with battery life on it, I would typically get 5-6 hours of screen on time since I'm not that heavy of a user. Recently, however, I have not been getting very good battery life at all. My phone drains a lot, even while it should be sleeping. I checked the battery usage report and the first thing on the list just says 10037. I click on it and cannot force stop or anything and it doesn't provide me with any additional information. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to figure out what this is or if any has had any issues with this is as well and found a fix. I haven't really done anything new to the phone that I can think of. I posted the screen shot of my batter usage. Thanks.

I'm in the process of trying it lol. But I don't think it hurts trying to get more information while the phone is charging. I've given it a google and couldn't find it on other forums, which is why I made a post asking. I did see a lot of people that posted their battery logs from their rooted apps saying an id of the deskclock was 10037. So I wasn't sure if that was draining my battery for some odd reason after the update a couple weeks ago.
