Hi there, I have this problem; my AT&T GS4 does not use the deep sleep state. I have made some research, and from what I understood, this problem has to be a result of any program that keeps triggering the phone to get awake.
So, I have the phone unlocked, rooted and ALL the sensors off, expect from gsm signal. With titanium back I have uninstalled the programs that I´ll never gonna use (mostly AT&T bloadware) and frozen the ones that I don’t want to use right know, but maybe by deleting them I would get into a problem (like S-Voice) or just because some day I would like to give them a try. Finally, there are the programs that I would like to keep, but I don’t want to let them make any cpu use while I am not using them. I used an application called Greenyfi, a good example of why this program is the best for the last propose, is the use of programs like google maps, in where I do want to use it, but, just when I open the app. Also, I used the app “Autostarts” to prevent applications to start after some events (like startup, state change, etc..)
With all that been said, I am steel not getting deep sleep, in any situation. I´am not saying that my battery life is bad, I think I can get easily 4-5 screen time use. But, by not getting into deep sleep, the phone is allways using the cpu at 384mhz, so the battery goes down in a range of 1.5 to 2 % per hour (10 hours of no use and 20% less battery).
SO, for you to see the problem better. I did a little experiment. Restart the phone, put it into flight mode and let it “sleep” for the night, the results are attached.
PD: Whatsapp isn’t the problem; I can froze it and still 0% deep sleep.
PD2: Sorry for the language, I forgot to change it.

ok, I did it, and BBS says that in partial wakelocks there is no major problem (20seg out of 1 hour the worst app). BUT, in kernel wakelocks, shows that "MSM_HSIC_HOST", is using the exact amount of time since the phone was turned on (1 hour). So, it has to be this. I´ve reading a huge thread of many people having a similar problem (mmsm_hsic_host been the process that wakes the phone most, but not using ALL the time, but considerable time (between 50% to 10). I ‘keep reading until I found a solution.

Bro! I am so trying to get my s4 to not go into deep deep sleep, to be able to have a switch or click here button to be able to toggle that option would be the way for me to continue to use unlimited 4g tether because i was told to use hotspot vpn shield to prevent tim lee mobile from sniffing my data to see if i were tethering ! Although the vpn just told me that the application goes in to deep sleep (aka it turns off!) That's right folks the application turns off without you knowing until it's too late, so let see where to go from here. ??

Yes if you have developer mode to stay awake while plugged in and want to turn the screen off at any point just hit the power button to lock/shutoff the screen.

well the hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc. makes thier app shut down when the phone goes into standby said the tech guy today because it still shut off.
so i suppose i need to prevent standby
ok i got to the bottom of this , hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc.are liars , the tether app auto prevents standby and i also i enabled the developer stay awake optiion. it turns out the application will turn off when no data is being sent for sometime and i have a feeling that it is in their favor for whatever reason otherwise the app would have an option to not shut off
now i was looking into getting termenal_ide to ping google every so often say every 3 or 5 minutes ,
i ran it and it was pinging like a mad man , more then once per second , i though i might get blacklisted for a false ddos

I know there might be a dozen threads about this, but its all gobbledygook and nobody seems to have a straight answer.
I just want to ask: What can we possibly do about Froyo draining our battery? Task manager auto-killers aren't working right now it seems.
Turn off 4G
Turn off WiFi
Turn off GPS
Turn down brightness
Stop opening crap
Problem solved.
Task Managers??? Are you kidding me? My battery life has doubled since Froyo because I dont use task managers or auto killers. Use Fresh Rom, with set cpu with perflock off, change the screen off to 245/245. Most important part is condition your battery...Trust me, i thought it was stupid as well, but it works.

I have the same problem. I read reports that Facebook 1.3 will not release the partial wake lock. I took FB 1.3 off and the problem persisted.
Here is how to check if you have a problem with your partial wake lock:
goto settings > about phone > battery and compare the uptime and awake time. If they are the same or very very close you have a wake lock problem. A wake lock allows an app to prevent your phone from going to sleep, even if the screen is off. If these times match then an app is creating a wake lock and not releasing it, and therefore your phone never sleeps.
As I said removing FB 1.3 did not solve the problem, but I was able to prove it is a wake lock as using Advanced Task Killer to kill 21 tasks allowed my phone to actually sleep, as indicated by a corresponding difference in the two times. So now that I know this is an app doing it, I will try to narrow it down and figure out which and report back.
OK I just found it. It appears the LED Light widget also causes a partial wake lock. To alleviate you don't need to uninstall it, just remove the widget.
Which led light? From market or the one with 2.2?

Problem NOT solved. Or maybe 15 extra minutes.
Or don't use it at all, you'll save plenty of battery
Check to make sure that your Google Talk app is not automatically signing in. Go to apps - talk - settings. This is a typical battery drainer
totally forgot about google talk. have flashed a few ROMs back and forth, and now running a stock rooted ROM, I forgot to shut this one off...
use a custom rom, something without sense and try not to have a f***ton of widgets. im running cyanogen nightly and i get about 10 hours before i hit 20%-30% thats when i quit doing stuff and start trying to make the battery last. screen eats most of the battery so turn the brightness down.
my average 10 hours is 75-125 txts 30 + or - min of talk time and 3+ hours of internet (facebook)
oh, and about your parents... they are gone, there isnt an app or a rom that can fix that.
Indeed, the title of this thread is goofy. Froyo has literally killed my parents....... and has done a bad job for my battery life on my phone. Haha!
I guess an apostrophe would not have hurt after the word "parents" eh?

I'm having similar issues with my OMJ 2.2 froyo rom. poor battery life, plus it seems laggy and unresponsive. i was much happier with OMJ's 2.1 rom
Does anyone know how to disable the fully charged message, it always wakes me up in the middle of the night.
I read somthing about a hidden menu accessed through the dialer, but i cannot get that to work.
Sorry, but what is the «fully charged message» ?
When the battery is full the device tells you so, it wakes up and turns light on. Annoying when the phone lights up the bedroom. I found that there are service codes that can turn this off in other android phones. But i found no code for this on the SGT, i also did not find this setting in the service menu you can bring up through the dialer.
I found out how to turn of the "allways on when connected to power" setting, that helps ofcource. I would still like to turn off the message when battery is fully charged tho. I hoped that someone in this exellent forum found the code to do this.

I like using Process Monitor Widget. Download it from the market. Open it up, then hit menu>record. keep the phone unplugged, turn the screen off, and let the phone sit for like 5-8 hours with Process Monitor Widget recording (preferably overnight). Then, stop recording, and hit analyze. It should be evident what is causing the wake lock.

I'm going to second and say use Spare parts, super easy and it will tell you what is keeping the phone awake.
Man best way to tell is to go to the menu and click on about phone all the way at th e bottom and check your battery there is a uptime and awake time if you are having wake issues both of these numbers will be the same even when the phone is off.
Been running synergy nightlys with latest OTA no wake issues for me.

Sorry for the delay. When you have process monitor widget open, if you press menu, one of the options is record. Press that to start recording. Let it sit for a few hours, then go back into process monitor widget. When you press menu, you'll see it says recording. Press that to stop recording, then press the analyze button and review the results.

I just got my case today and my N7 doesn't always wake when I open the cover. I'd say it works about 80% of the time and it seems worse after the tablet has been sitting for a while. Almost as if it's sleeping too deeply to wake. A press of the power button fixes it but I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue. If not, I need to think about whether I have a bad case or a defective tablet.

I've found that it does actually wake up, eventually. I just tested it myself. When I got my Poetic slimline case, I was obviously messing with the Nexus 7 and it worked every time. I'd left the device sleeping (wifi set to not run during sleep, BT off), and when I grabbed it just now and opened the flap, nothing happened for almost 10 seconds. Crazy. However, it did eventually sleep/wake by itself. When I closed the cover and then opened it, it instantly awoke. So it seems like after the device has been sleeping for a while it just takes it a bit to wake up. Of course you can just hit the power button, too..

With WiFi set to stay on during sleep it works fine even during very long sleeps, like overnight. It's almost a non-issue for me since I always have WiFi on and if I go out I just remember to toggle it off or turn on tethering on the trusty old N4.

Yeah. All I know is I have the wifi set to not run during sleep, and all seems fine, - just that it takes the Nexus a good number of seconds to come alive after it's been asleep a while.
I decided to wait patiently and see if it would wake on its own. It did but took a full 20 seconds. On my first gen N7, it woke instantly every time. Hopefully it's something they'll eventually fix.

That's impressive! I'm sure it's a bug that affects all Nexus 7 2013 devices, but it's still lame.
For anyone having this issue, I found a thread on the Google product forums about this. That's apparently how they became aware of the other issues that have been reported. If you could, please post your problem in this thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/mobile/android-devices/8MTpqfFmw8Q
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Are we sure this is actually an issue? Based on the threads I'm reading about this, the cover only seems to wake the screen when you open it while things are running that would normally keep the N7 out of deep sleep. Isn't the tablet being able to enter deep sleep mode successfully a good thing?
The reason I say this is because a lot of you, including myself are reporting that when Wifi is off, and the tablet is unplugged, opening the cover won't wake the screen if it's been closed for a long time but it will after just short periods. This indicates deep sleep being entered successfully. If the cover is able to wake the screen in that mode, I'd be more worried that deep sleep mode isn't being entered successfully.
I guess the main question is: Is 4.3 along with the Nexus 7 hardware actually designed to only be able to be powered on by the power button itself during deep sleep? Do not services have to be running in the background constantly in order to allow something else to wake the screen? For example, in order for one of those 3rd party screen apps that use either proximity sensors, or light sensors or position sensors (shake) in order to wake your screen to work, all of the better ones I've seen not only require administrator permission, but also running background services.
In other words, they use the hardware sensors inside the Nexus 7 to wake the screen but also require some kind of additional resources running in the background. Which means resources being consumed. Smart covers also use hardware inside the N7 to wake the screen but without an app consuming resources in the background to so do. Which means NO resources consuming battery or memory, which is a good thing.
I'm not so sure I even WANT this fixed if it's going to mean my tablet has to have stuff running in the background in order for it to work. If Google can make it so that's not the case, then I have no problem with it. I could be completely wrong as well, I'm just speculating so if Google says it is actually a software bug then I guess I am.

I guess that depends on the magnetometer chip they are using. If it can generate an async interrupt on a change in magnetic field, then that is one thing, if it has to be polled, that's something else. I don't find it too great a hardship to occasionally have to press the button, so if it is doing this to save more power, that suits me.
I think this thread is about all the "odd" things happening, specifically to the some 2013 Nexus 7 (some people don't have this problem).
I also have the 2012 N7 and the Nook HD+ with smart covers, both are running JB4.3.
Both can go into deep sleep and whatever (wifi on/off, things running or not) and will wake up in an instant as normal.
This is not normal !!
By the way, I received the replacement and similar results. I didn't expect it to fix the issue anyway as I think this is similar
to the tough issue with some N7s (I don't have this issue) which is a google problem.
A little off-topic about deep sleep... my Nook HD+ can sleep for a whole day and only take 1% of the battery.. best I've seen.
Edit: just in case somebody thinking about a ROM problem, I've tried multiple ROMs including stock.. all have same issue.
Moko smart cover is the best
It should wake up within a second, at worst, period. Ideally it'll wake up "almost instantaneously". There's something wrong.
I wish the mods would merge these two threads so the nonsense is at least in one place.
Mine sometimes will wake after a delay and will sometimes just sit and do nothing at all until I press the power button. It has turned on after a 30 second delay, after being idle all night, but has also completely failed to turn on after being idle for just five minutes. This thread is definitely aimed toward the odd inconsistences and what I indeed perceive to be a problem.

Go into Settings>Developer Options (if you have it enabled) and look at the "Stay Awake" option. Make sure it is unchecked. If it is checked, the screen will stay on when it is plugged in unless you manually turn it off. I am guessing this is checked for you and is why the screen stays on.

Well it looks like I may have found a solution to my problem. Found an app called Batter Charged Silencer. Not in the Google play store. Will try it tonight and see what happens.

Hey man. I have a Note 3 and have the same problem. As you've probably discovered by now, the Battery Charged Silencer app does not work for our newer devices. In searching for alternatives, I found apps that provide an alarm for when the battery is fully charged. This was NOT what I had wanted, as I just wanted my light to go off when charged, but I figured this the best alternative (hear the alarm, unplug). HOWEVER, I discovered that one app in specific DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, and, because of this, my phone never lights up when fully charged!!! Go to the play store and get the free NEOADN FULL ALARM. I launched it once, disabled the notification bar selection because I didn't want that (so maybe do this just in case, and also leave the discharged amount option alone), picked a sound, and nothing mattered cause it never worked, never came on, and neither did my screen! One of the reviewers of this app said the app was crap cause it had to be launched each time to work. Maybe that's why it "works" for me, cause I activated it but then held my home button down and closed all apps (not thinking) and then realized it was a blessing! Just install, maybe configure how I said if needed, close your apps, and never worry about it again! (And don't ever update the app just in case they "fix" it). Hope this helps, let me know via email: [email protected]

Go to the play store and get the free NEOADN FULL ALARM. I launched it once, disabled the notification bar selection because I didn't want that (so maybe do this just in case, and also leave the discharged amount option alone), picked a sound, and nothing mattered cause it never worked, never came on, and neither did my screen! One of the reviewers of this app said the app was crap cause it had to be launched each time to work. Maybe that's why it "works" for me, cause I activated it but then held my home button down and closed all apps (not thinking) and then realized it was a blessing! Just install, maybe configure how I said if needed, close your apps, and never worry about it again! (And don't ever update the app just in case they "fix" it). Hope this helps, let me know via email: [email protected]

Surprisingly the Batter Charged Silencer app did work for me. I've been good to go ever since. No more waking up to the girlfriend telling me to turn my phone off in the middle of the night
