I opened up Wakelock Detector and found SuperSU on the top of my list, with 20 screen wakelocks for a total of 24min and 50s. Why is this? The only rooted app I use is greenify. Could it be that they're causing more harm than help with these wakelocks?
No one's encountered this?
bump... need help with this please

Seems an odd one. Try clearing the app data and rebooting

I'm getting this too, on i9505 running Android 4.3 (XXUEMKE). It is driving me insane, the phone waking up every 20-30 minutes, and Wakelock Detector's Screen wakelock page is reporting SuperSU as the culprit. I think it started happening around three months or so ago.
I have seen many threads suggesting cleaning the USB pins, but this is not a connector problem as it happens regardless of whether the phone is connected to power or running on battery. Other threads suggest full wipe and reset, but usually resulting in reports that this did not help.
The most startling incidents are those when driving at night with the phone in the car mount - sudden and bright, very disconcerting.
Any more ideas please? Clearing SuperSU app data didn't help.

Hi all,
I'm experiencing an issue on my stock 4.1.1 Nexus 7. The screen seems to be turning itself on randomly. It normally turns off again but may toggle on/off quite a few times. Then it seems to go for a while whitout turning on. Bit odd.
Anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts on a reason for it?
Thanks
Same problem here, except with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I just updated to 4.1.1 today and this is the first time I've seen it happen. Was previously on 4.02 without issues.
I have had the same problem. It seems to happen in the evening and I wondered whether the case was causing it to overheat. Seems to be OK when I take it out of the case. I phoned Google and was told that it hadn't happened before. I will contact them again if it doesn't get any better.
Sorry. Misread the post. Mine goes to sleep, not turns on

Same here but mine is not exactly stock.
I have installed Apex Launcher plus numerous apps. I thought maybe it was the launcher doing it. But at this point... I have no idea. Just noticed it tonight coming on and then going off within 1 sec. but its random. it may do it once within an hour, or it may do it up to 5 times within a min... then go several minutes completely black screen. Crazy stuff. I thought maybe it was getting a message at first but then realized I had the WiFi off on my phone so it was dead to any incoming messages/wifi. I am really curious as to what is causing it and will be following this post as well as others quite frequent. Also.... the latest app that I have downloaded was OSMOS HD. it wasn't waking then sleeping before that app... just my 2 cents.
Hi Qbensis,
By stock, I just mean not rooted and not running any custom firmware. I had various apps and the like installed.
I have actually since rooted my N7 and installed a few custom ROMs and since then have not seen the issue at all. If you want to stay stock, I assume the issue will be fixed in the next update
I have seen this a few times. Middle of the night I look over and the screen is on then off. I check the power usage overnight and I see little blips of screen on when looking at the graph. Not sure whats causing it (I figure a app).
Same Problem over here, any solutions???
I'm on stock 4.1.2 and having the same problem, not rooted. Creeped me out in the middle of the night when it goes on and off.
N7 Random Turn On
Same here on 4.2.1. I carry in front pocket all the time with screen facing leg and feel heat when it happens. Has even done it when in Power Off mode and still does it. I thought that would prevent it for sure. Very irritating and drains battery. We Winter in 55+ community and drive around in golf carts. I am starting to wonder if WiFi spots trigger it. Will continue to track behavior and search other forums. Curious that there have not been any solid suggestions or solutions.
Happens to my rooted but stock 4.2.1. It happens randomly when I recharge using a battery pack (4AA) as opposed to charging using regular AC. It's annoying as heck! I don't know how to get this fixed!
I've been getting this on both SmoothROM and raspbeanjelly, and it's very irritating.
It has to be an app that is causing this. I initially thought perhaps it was GPS Status, because I caught it in the notification bar a few times when the screen turned on.
My device definitely isn't hot when it happens.
I'm suspecting the Email app, Maps, or Facebook.
EDIT - not any of them either. I'll test Beautiful Widgets next.
Okay guys, try this.

I'd been suffering from this for weeks, factory reset, reinstalled and changed out ROMs, installed apps one by one over the course of several days to keep an eye on what might be triggering it etc. Nothing worked for more than 2-3 days at most, and the issue always came back in one way or another.
It was causing me to have to turn the Nexus off when not in use because it would be draining battery (15-20% overnight compared to 2-3% when the issue wasn't present).
Then I stumbled upon that guide and using Gemini I disabled Maps from auto-running, turned off Latitude, and so far so good.
If it works for you too, be sure to hit thanks on Karpfenhai's post!
I was having this same problem on my Nexus 7 running stock 4.2.2 rooted with SuperSU. Finally tracked it down to having installed BetterBatteryStats and for some reason, I had not granted it perpetual root. It was causing the device to wake and turn the display on for random times (up to 13 hours, which killed the battery), not always showing the SU request dialogue. I granted perpetual SU privilege to BetterBatteryStats and problem went away.
Try taking out the battery and clean out the USB port with a toothpick. This worked for me. All the dust that accumulates in the post can cause the phone to think it's charging.
Just flashed the new MG1 on my SGH-I337M. I am noticing a consistent high partial wakelocks with GCM_LIB. Almost completely stops deep sleep. I just removed each of my google accounts and readded to see if that fixes the problem.
Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?
Cheers

+1! Something I did/installed/modified in the last week since I got the phone made the battery life plummet. Thought it was the "listen for wake-up command" part of S Voice... better, but nope. GCM_LIB had it awake 7 1/2 hours out of 8 I slept last night. This morning removed Samsung acct to see how that goes. Next the google acct...
I have the exact same problem as the OP, same phone/model too. Any clue what this "GCM_Lib (Android System)" under BetterBatteryStats is? It is preventing the phone from going into Deep Sleep. I notice this GCM_Lib is only active when there is an active connection (either WiFi or Mobile Data) turned on. With Flight Mode, there is no excessive battery drain. I am losing 15% battery over night (6-8 hours sleep). With Flight mode, I am only losing 1%.
I have removed all accounts off my device, and GCM_Lib is still wrecking my battery usage. Phone is unrooted. Any ideas?
I had the same problem on my SGH-M919V, upgrading firmware from MDJ to MG1. Same symptoms about suddenly poor battery life during sleep, and constant GCM_LIB wake locks. In the end, I never did figure out what was causing it, or a good way of fixing it, however I did end up solving the problem indirectly.
I flashed my phone back to the old MDJ firmware (NO data wipe, just firmware only), to check if I was getting the same problem previously, without knowing it. Sure enough, the problem went away, and didn't happen on the old MDJ firmware. So next, I re-applied the new MG1 firmware (again, NO data wipe, just firmware only), figuring that I would systematically disable/uninstall everything, one thing at a time, to try and figure out what app, account or setting was causing this. However, as soon as I re-flashed the new MDJ firmware, the GCM_LIB wake lock problem never re-appeared afterwards.
I don't know if this was something uniquely corrupt or misconfigured with my accounts or phone settings, or something unique to the SGH-M919V phone or firmware, but oddly enough, the firmware rollback & upgrade process described above did somehow fix the problem for me. I'm not sure if this process of firmware rollback without data wipe is supported or recommended without causing other issues along the way. I haven't other any other issues as a result of doing this. But still, make sure to have a full backup of your phone before you start, just in case something goes wrong during the process or some time afterwards.
Having the same issue here, don't know what causes it and how to fix it. I tried killing all the process with the System Panel app, it fixes the wakelock for a moment then it starts again
Hi,
The last couple days my battery had been draining quickly. After having it unplugged for 2 hours this morning, and only listening to music for about 30 min, noticed i was at 95% so looked at my wakelocks. The #1 wake lock is "CacheUpdateService" under google services. It has not allowed my phone to go into deep sleep once. See screen shot. Any help would be appreciated. Just 2 days ago battery was amazing.

Me too, I just found your post in a search for the same issue. I'm going to try a few things and I will post if I fix it...

Really hope you find a solution to this.
I just tried reflashing CleanRom 1.1, but it did not solve the problem. Granted it was a dirty flash. I'll try a clean flash when i get a chance.

Only thing I found was to toggle the "sync" off then on for the google accounts in the notification pull down on samsung phones. I did that and also cleared cache and dalvik. Problem went away. Give it a shot. I have seen in the past when something like gmail or calendar would hang on sync and a setting it to not sync then back on would fix it. If that doesn't work, I've also actually removed my google account and added it back (fixed another issue in the past). Good luck

Thanks for the info. I ended up doing a factory reset then reflashing cleanrom. Seems to have solved it. If it coms up again I'll give your tips a try.
I have awesome battery life. I disabled Google now and never looked back. Also disabled wifi location services. My second charge I got 43 hours off charger and 5 hours of on screen time and had 9% left. Check the battery review thread that's somewhere on these G2 forums for tips.
Had this issue on my G2. After much frustration, i ended up uninstalling google play services with titanium backup, then reinstalling them. To reinstall them, I uninstalled a google play app (google play music in my case) and reinstalled it. The play store then had me install google play services from there.
Sleeping like a baby since.
I have the same problem. Tried everything from factory reset to uninstalling Google Play Services, but no luck. Did anyone have any other solutions? My phone doesn't go to deep sleep ever.
I have been so impressed with the battery power during usage so I tried 2 nights in a row to let it sit and see how the battery was over night. Each morning shocked to see 15% gone in 8 hours. Granted I have seen worse in the past with GS3 but still I am listed as it was awake the whole time. And the listing under Gsam is cacheupdateservice. every google app is unchecked in account and my gmail account is set to sync off. My regular email account is set to sync but only on manual. I do have access my location on with wifi and mobile location checked. I'll try unchecked. Any other help is always appreciated. Thanks
I had/have the same issue. The phone will NEVER sleep. I went into task manager and force stopped and cleared cache on almost all apps. Went to manage apps and cleared all data and cache in google play services yesterday after noon. Perfect for a couple hours. No cacheupdate service listed in gsam. checked back a little later and there it was again. Not sure at all what I did to trigger again. I then did the same thing and let it sit over night. Lost only 4 percent in 7 hours. So far have changed wifi and mobile locations on the way to work to work, checked email and surfed the net. So far so good.
Has anybody made any head way on the cause of this. If I clear the cache and data for Google services and force stop I am good for as much as a day sometimes with none of these wakelocks. Then they are back. I have tried a bunch of stuff with no true fix yet. I uninstalled the updates and no wakelocks but I keep getting messages telling we it needs to be updated. Any in sight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I don't have a G2, but I have the exact same issue on my Moto X...I tried searching a lot for this issue and no one seems to have a good solution (wipe cache, dalvik etc has not helped me).
Ultimately what I have done is install this app (phone needs to be rooted), then select System Apps ->Google Play Services and disabled CacheUpdateService. I haven't seen any side effects of this yet, but I am not sure if there will be any....Can someone else who is rooted give it a shot too and see if things improve?
App is called Disable Service

Suffering from this on my Nexus 4, will download this app and give it a shot.

I've been facing these problems for over a week now and it's extremely frustrating. I get these random shutdowns when I'm just opening an app or using my phone longer than a certain amount of time. The phone will have 100% charge in the morning then shuts down and if I try restarting the Google splash screen shows up and shuts down again. Then the battery level will be at 70% and the whole thing happens again till I have no charge.
So when 4.4 came out I thought I'd update and these problems will go away and they didn't. Now the same thing happens I've done a data wipe/factory reset, cleared cache but still nothing. I thought some apps were causing problems so I uninstalled everything but still no use. I'm currently on stock 4.4 using the stock kernel. I was also on stock 4.2.1 when these problems started. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks.
Do you also have a bad network connection/sim locks? Then you should read this topic. It could be a faulty battery.

Yeah my sim is deactivated but I think that's a sim problem. I spoke to my network provider to reactivate it tomorrow. Thanks for that thread I must've missed it somehow. Hopefully its just a battery problem so I can just get a replacement.
This morning I noticed my phone getting very hot in my pocket. A quick check of gSam showed the phone temp at 105°. Battery had dropped from 100% to 60% in under two hours with no use. When I checked app usage mm-camera-daemon was running at 89% usage. I booted to recovery and wiped cache and that stopped it. Did a Google search and found that this was a bug with 4.4.2 and was fixed with 4.4.4. Now there are lots of posts on various forums about people having this problem with 5.0. It is the process that runs the camera and it apparently gets stuck running after using the camera or if any camera related apps are used. Clearing the cache fixes it, but I'm reading in different places that it may start again within a few hours. Just wondering if anyone else here has experienced this yet.

I would suggest checking to make sure you have Smart Stay turned off; it's not a complete solution but it eliminates a way the camera can turn on without you having directly initiated it. Since Smart Stay uses the camera to check if you are still looking at the phone before turning the screen off, it can cause the daemon to start even without a person realizing it leading to the overheating and power drain.
The morning this happened I booted to recovery and wiped the cache partition then left the phone off until it cooled down. I have not had this happen again since.
This is now happening 9 out of 10 times I open the camera or the gallery. With the original Lollipop update it was sporadic, but since OC4 it has become a regular problem for me. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It isn't just a lollipop problem. I'm on 4.4.4 NI2 and it happened to me. I deleted apps and still couldn't get it fixed. I had to go back to an earlier backup to get rid of it. Never figured it out.
Strange I never experienced this on KK. A cache wipe always fixes it but it's very annoying.
Probable Solution!
I had same problem on towelrooted 4.4.2 NE9 stock ROM. You can try this. I removed skype, rebooted and re-installed it again. And I never had this battery drain issue because of this again.
