Large amount of Audioout_2 and Audioout_3 wakelocks - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I get these wakelocks for some reason, about 2-10 minutes of Audioout_2 and Audioout_3 per hour when idle, with screen off.
And they seem to show up as wakelocks, even if I have my phone active. So I get like 47minutes of this wakelock, but awake time is 56:27minutes and screen on 54 minutes. And this is not the problem until you see how much of this wakelock has kept your phone awake after 24 hours, I had like 3-5 hours. Should I be worried?
APP - Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats.
What I have tried - Uninstalling Viber, no difference. Disabling all lock sounds, touch sounds, dial pad tones, not much difference either.
I didn't have this before, what could it be?
Android 4.3 Stock, not rooted

I seem to be having the same issue. I'm running on stock 4.3, no rooting, I do not have Viber, and while I do have Skype installed, I almost never use it. I have haptic feedback disabled as well as touch sounds.
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the issue, but that's obviously a bit of a pain to do every time.
Other than maybe blaming Poweramp for keeping the wakelock going, I can't think of any other apps that could be causing the issue.

After you reboot when does the issue seem to come back? What apps are you usually using?
Do you have any of these apps - Light Manager, DashClock Widget, Smart Wifi toggler.*
*These apps have no deal with audio wakelocks whatsoever, but still, maybe 4.3 has caused one of those apps to use the audio wakelocks somehow.

My main apps are Gmail, Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, BaconReader and Poweramp. After rebooting the length of the wakelock time definitely isn't as long. And yes, I do have DashClock Widget. I didn't consider that one to be a potential culprit.

I have the same problem.
I noticed that audioout_2 only runs when my screen is on.(most of the time)
The audioout_2 run time and SOT are always close.
The audioout_2 and audioout_3 will not run (very minimum) when your cell goes into deep sleep.
I have mostly Google apps installed.
Edit: After searching on internet,Many users told these wakelocks can be caused if there is a corrupted mediafile (picture,music,video)..
Need a solution for this.

What do you mean corrupted mediafile, like unsupported MP3 file? Could that be a problem? God dammit, this is too complicated.
I have only a few pictures that I have taken with the phone, no videos. Only music could be related.

So I yesterday turned on location services, the results I got were pretty bad. I am not 100% sure that the issue is location services, but I did not have this bad screen_on - awake ratio before. Here are some screens.
I didn't do anything unusual, I might report back tomorrow about results w/o location services.

I left only GPS setting active in location settings. Here are the results.
6hours phone on, Battery left 87%.
55:31min awake, 38min screen on.
1013 wakelock usage 32:12min.
I played a few games, made some calls for the time when screen was awake.
I would call this a success, because usually I could barely make through a day, almost 3hours screen on in 12hour period. And the battery is dead.

I disabled Wi-Fi & mobile network location in Location access settings. But I am not entirely sure that this is a solution.
I am very confused with all this Android and Nexus 4 problem amount and uncertainty, I am not even sure what to believe anymore. I am starting to wish I had bought an iPhone. Maybe it was because I was at just at home and in a city mainly, and the cellphone just didn't have to look for different cell towers, I am not sure what should I even think anymore.
But currently this has helped me, I guess. Disadvantages of this might be that the phone will not be able to select the best server available when indoors... I'm just so tired of Android.

I can't shake off this stupid wakelock, it keeps my phone awake, Android is soo annoying, I would probably never notice this if it weren't for the battery usage apps, but I would notice the horrible battery life on Nexus 4.
Has anyone had this problem and made it go away? Or is still having, and just got through with it and ignores it? Please help me!
I think I had 0 amount of this wakelock in the first few days I got these battery status apps, I had only a few Media, Caldendar, Gmail etc. wakelocks

The wakelocks are caused by the touch sounds that are enabled by default.
Everytime you touch a button on your phone it will make a sound, which will initiate the wakelock. Turn off these sounds in:
Settings -> Sound -> Touch Sound
You can also 'hear' the wakelock, because when you hold the back speaker of the phone to your ear when a sound was just played, you will hear some static noise for ~2-3 seconds after the sound finished playing.
When you listen to music or watching a video you will also get these wakelocks, but that's completely normal.

Right, did You have that before? Or it just turned up recently, I don't remember having this much wakelocks, and why are ''wakelocks'' wakelocks when you are using your phone and the screen is on?
I noticed that if I don't have internet access, the wakelock doesn't come up as much. It's some kind of app, maybe, it very much could be one of Google's, It ain't Viber (for me), I have tried disabling, turning it off, no change in wakelock amount.

To be honest i'm in the same condition u are in. I don't know whats causing these. Try greenifying Google+, Google Now etc. They have helped me a bit in saving some... Google+ updates/syncs, and that makes a wakelock as well.

I have set syncing and updating google apps to the minimum already. Google Now is not active.
Does other android phones like Galaxy S3, S4, HTC One also have this bad battery life, or is it Nexus 4 specific?

Do You have Flash Player installed on Your Android device?

This is really weird, I restart the phone, use gmail, and some other apps, turn off screen, check for wake locks, no Audio wake lock at all, I open Chrome, use it a little and then check for wake locks and it has appeared and is at at the top, also other wakelocks have increased count.
Also another matter, I notice a little pop in the speakers sometimes, even though I have set to vibrate only mode.
EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE SCREEN THE SPEAKER TURNS ON, it is just quietly hissing, you need to be in complete silence to hear this. This is definitely causing a big battery drain, I need to fix this ASAP. Anyone has a clue?
Turned off touch sounds, hissing has disappeared. But it literally started hissing after I press anywhere on the screen, even though only a few buttons make a touch sound.
Got to stop typing now, my hands are burning when I'm using Google chrome on my nexus 4...

I disabled Google+ Notifications through Google+(app) > Settings > google account > notifications
And I turned off all Sounds, from Dial pad touch tones to screen lock sound and vibrate on touch. Now I had tried this before the Google+, but I still had the issue with the wakelock.
I get little to none of this wakelock, also turned off google+ backup feature. Disabled some sync options in google account.
But basically I get a lot less of this wakelock now, I am not entirely sure it was Google+, but I have been using the phone casually, as usual for 30+ Hours, charged once, and I get better battery life and much less of this wake lock, phone is mostly in sleep mode when screen is off, about 1-4 Minutes awake.
Now I don't guarantee anything, maybe it's some service that didn't start up this time, but I'm pretty sure that I had opened every app that I was using when I had the problem, this seems to have fixed the problem, see if it helps, if you are experiencing the same issue, and please let me know, thanks!
Oh and I have been using the phone's speaker indeed, for games, Youtube app, Chrome etc. and Received calls, messages, notifications.

Any solution? I'm still having this 1013 wakelock without apparent cause..

HELP: Froyo killed my parents & my battery life

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 ota and its the worst batterie ever with out doing nothing not even a phone call it died under an hour i only have gps enable had 3g off 4g to app all close no auto killer

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?
Doing a factory reset will fix your problem... I had the same problem when I updated.

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

I have figured out the solution to the battery problem many of us have with Froyo

- Update to AOSP Email.
- If you are using Exchange, use Push only. Do not use the interval syncs.
- Uninstall / Disable Juice Defender
- Uninstall / Disable ATK
The whole problem is wake locks. The current Email client has an issue with wake locks if you use Exchange ActiveSync and do not have Push selected.
As well, if you have ATK installed, and it kills Email, then when it starts up again it will enter another wakelock.
Juice Defender causes the same problem by disabling the radio - basically, Juice defender makes the battery use worse, not better, because the re-sync of the email every 5 minutes makes it go into wakelock mode and never let go of the CPU.
After fussing with upteen dozen kernels and roms and modems, making these 3 changes has had a REMARKABLE decrease in battery use. I am burning my battery at less than 1/2 the rate I was previously.. I now burn less than 3%-4% / hour. Which means I will easily get through a full day with the phone.
EDIT: The other thing to make sure of is that you don't have the buggy version of Gallery3D that drains your battery due to holding onto the sensor. Your best bet is to just totally delete the APK from your ROM, and install the one from the market if it is an app you want.
Title is a bit misleading, please add problem with email battery drain, because a lot fo the froyo drain issues is for people not using the email and not even connected to data network mode.
You said update to AOSP mail ... anything wrong with the stock Email.apk?
Here's something i discovered, but wouldn't mind confirmation from others.
When waking your phone (with the charger not connected), is there a one second delay for the screen to come on? If there is, the phone is sleeping fine. If not, and the screen wakes instantly, something is preventing the phone from sleeping properly, thus wasting battery..
Its not really a good second but yeah there is a delay, never noticed it was instant.

As far as I can determine both AOSP and stock email APK have this issue, it hasn't been fixed in source yet. But, I have switched to AOSP so I can only report on results when doing that.

You don't have to be connected to data network. In fact that can be the cause of the whole problem!
If you use email and either
- It gets killed
- you lose network access or it is turned off (a-la Juice Defender)
.. then it goes into this wake-lock state and hangs onto the CPU forever, draining the battery.
Every person I have seen complain about the excessive battery drain was using Email like me.. the most common comments are along the lines of "all I have going is email and..." so I suspect this (along with the Gallery3D issue) is the cause of most everyone's problems.
so if I'm not using the Email app at all (I removed it entirely)
it SHOULDN'T be munching through my mAh?
You don't have to uninstall juice defender. Simply adjusting settings so that it does not force a sync on schedule. Then it actually saves battery again.

I don't have any battery drain (Doc's 7.6.2 JPO).

No, just turning the radio on and off causes the Email app to lose connectivity and go into the wake lock.
Update - my phone burned through only 8% overnight from 11 PM-7 AM. Previously it would burn through 40%+ overnight, no matter what kernel or modem or other options I turned on or off.

Did you roll back the Gallery app?
Also it is possible you have another app with this wake lock problem. Run Spare Parts, Battery History, and change the dropdown to since last boot/Last charge and "Partial Wake Use". Click on whatever 1 or two apps are on top.
If the time listed is more than a small % of the time since last boot or charge, then that app has a wake lock problem.
In the case of the Email app it will easily have a wake lock use time of nearly half of the time since last boot.
Any app with a wake lock is a huge battery consumer since your phone never goes to sleep mode.
I'm not having any major batteries actually ;p I mean, if I can somehow improve battery life by changing some more stuff, why not?
I'm on the Gallery off Market (no sensor issue). on another thread if users are reporting Stock Gallery not having any battery drainage, I might roll back to try it out.

Open email, go into Account Settings. Under Check Frequency, make sure it is set to AUtomatic / Push. Then make sure you don't have any auto task killers or other things running that kill apps or turn your radio on and off.
I think email is the problem...
automatic/push selection

forgive my noob question but I cant find automatic/push in my email settings at all (it only allows for never, or other time intervals up to an hour). This is on the AOSP email app.

OK I should have mentioned Push is applicable to outlook email only. If you are using some other POP email you can't use push. I am not sure if Push is applicable to IMAP.
using email and settings switch to "Never"
did not seem to encounter this b4.
My data is usually turn off. I only turn on manually when i need to check mails or surf net.
I dont have sensors issue with gallery and I have removed all email programs from my SGS.
Still have battery issues. It drains really fast when data is on and I cant track what is using so much power

4.2 causing N7 to screen to wake up once an hour

I have a magnetic cover and even when it's closed every hour my N7 screen comes on to the pattern lock screen. Despite trying, I can't find the app (if not a system bug) that's causing this.
Anyone know specifically how I might use an app like BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint what triggers this? I'm finding BetterBatterStats difficult to configure to show this (if it can).
I had the same issue but every 30 sec. The problem was an app (quick agenda). After removing the app it's fine now.

Yeah I think it's an app. But I have ~ 70 installed! I'm now suspecting Lux or Google Music (it had a track paused) or Spotify (now set off line). Would be good if there was a hook/app to see the app/process that triggered the wake up like that.
I have to make changes and "home in" on the offending app by trial and error. After every change I have to wait an hour, and not miss the screen waking up

i was inches away from a factory reset as i just got the OTA and was really baffled by such an inconvenience of battery drainer.
thx so much for your comment - quick agenda was the culprit!

[Q] What's causing the screen to wake up randomly for no reason

My screen randomly turns on and sits at the lock screen for a few seconds for no apparent reason. There are no pending notifications, etc. I assume there might be a rogue app causing this, but I don't have that many installed and even less apps doing any background tasks. Any idea on how to find the culprit?
I found this bug report where some apps are mentioned, but I'm not running any of them.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625
On the Galaxy Nexus this issue was sometimes caused by a flaw in the micro-USB connector. I sincerely hope that is not the case with the Nexus 4.
I noticed that the phone wakes up whenever it reconnects to Wi-Fi. I was changing some router settings last night and I constantly saw the phone waking up shortly after the router rebooted. However, this is not the only scenario where it does it.
Mine has done the same, no idea why, only seen it the once, but it certainly happened, sitting three feet away from me, and suddenly Bingo! its on.
Mine wakes every few minutes. Certain apps (tasker, facebook etc) and syncing seem to cause it to happen more often but even if I disable most apps it still happens. I've been unable to identify the source with better battery stats. It happens bone stock and on CM10.1. I'm still getting better battery life than my GNexus but it's maddening.
Mine too. It will do it a few times in succession then be still for a while before starting again. No apps open and google sync off.

So my Nexus 4 doesn't want to go to sleep.
- I have sleep set to 15 seconds
- Dream is off (just in case)
It just stays on. It doesn't matter if it's on the the lock screen or at the home screen. I'm guessing some app is keeping it awake. It just started last night, but I don't think I have installed any new apps. Maybe it from an update.
solved
My phone's screen also used to wake up randomly. it was very annoying, especially at midnight
finally, I found out the reason by using "Wakelock detector" app which is freely available in market.
here is XDA thread about WLD: WLD at XDA Thread
the cause of problem was ad Notification, it was holding "full wakelock" (you can see it in screenshot)
good Luck!
Refer Wakelock Detector at XDA
Ramdom screen wake up issue solved
Dear all,

On the Galaxy Nexus this issue was sometimes caused by a flaw in the micro-USB connector. I sincerely hope that is not the case with the Nexus 4.

Kik closes when screen turns off?

Like twice a day, my phone will start to "kill" this app whenever the screen goes off so I no longer receive notifications for it. After a reboot, it works and works and works. But probably... 6 hours or so later, every time the screen cuts off, it kills the app. A simple reboot fixes this temporarily so it's not a huge deal, just annoying. I'm not using power saver mode, Wifi is "Always on", notifcation settings are the same as all the other apps. I've tried other apps when my phone is behaving this way and my phone doesn't kill the other apps. Just Kik
Any suggestions/ideas?

I uninstalled Better Battery Stats yesterday afternoon and I haven't had the problem since. Do you have that app? Maybe instead of uninstalling, you can just disable something in its settings?

Nope, the only thing similar I have is wakelock detector. I'll try that and see what happens
