Spare Parts tells me my phone isn't sleeping, but partial wake doesn't show any apps keeping my phone awake. I'm starting to get tired of hooking my phone up to the charger every few hours.

Is there a question you'd like to ask?
So if you look at partial wake usage, it doesn't show any applications that are responsible for the majority of partial wake? The goal is to figure out what process or application is screwing up. It might be annoying but maybe you should hard reset or reflash your current ROM then take your time reinstalling apps so you can get an idea of what may be acting up.
I have the same issue from time to time. I notice my battery draining too fast. Check the partial usage and I don't see any high percentage.
Then I look at Other, and android is at like 80% but screen on is only like 8%, so something is keeping my phone aware.
I checked system panel history, and I don't see anything keeping it awake.
I don't know of any good way to find out what is going on.
I actually caught it happening to me this morning, also it happens from time to time at night when I'm not charging it overnight.
I've heard that apps like LauncherPro hinder it from going into sleep mode however I can't necessarily confirm it's the culprit.
launcher pro does not hinder it from going into sleep mode when it is running correctly.
if you have system panel see if your cpu usage is at 100% constantly if it is it may be a run away process. i would try wiping dalvik and cache and rebooting seeing if it fixes it.
Something else you can try is hooking it up to the computer and running adb logcat on it and see if you can get anythign from that. I have seen mine occasionally when i start up have 4g on even though i normally have it off. When i turn 4g off it looks like it is off however it continues scanning behind the scenes on log cat aso i ahve to wipe cache etc and ussually fixes it.
the problem is witht he ifnormation you have given us is it could be anything.
if u have qik installed that might be it, b/c ive noticed HUGE battery gains with it uninstalled
I'm not sure what other information I need to offer here. I have had some issues with my phone refusing to sleep before, but it would go away with a simple restart. Now it doesn't matter what I do, it just refuses to sleep. I'll purchase System Panel and see if it tells me anything. Spart Parts doesn't show anything out of place on partial wake usage.
Tango was causing my phone to wake by itself and drained the battery like crazy.
If your phone is rooted, try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache a couple of times. That worked for me.
Wiped dalvik cache twice and my phone still won't sleep. I don't want to reinstall my ROM and install apps one-by-one to get to the bottom of the issue. Any other suggestions?

Have you tried warm milk?
Yes. I also tried Nyquil and hydrocodone. No dice.
I purchased System Panel and I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. I don't see anything that looks suspicious. Partial wake usage in Spare Parts shows UID 10094 atop the list and by a good margin with a total time of 52 minutes. Next is UID 10019 at 5 minutes and 32 seconds, and Android System at 5 minutes and 2 seconds. My phone has been unplugged for 3 hours and 22 minutes; the battery is at 64%.
ok once you have system panel you need to let it run for about 8 hours (preferably as mucha you can un pluged) then yuo can go to Menu>moniter, history and where it shows plot click it and select apps it should then show you a list of apps based on cpu usage.
I would see if any apps are abnormally high compared to the other apps) if so that may be your problem .also if system process is high yuo can click on it and it shoud llist the process individually (if it is a system process your only real options are to wipe all reflash if wiping dalvik and cache didnt work).
Lastly if you still cant find the problem i sugest hooking the pc to the computer and running adb logcat. watch it and see if anything is looping weirdly. If yuos till cant find it sorry to say i would go with the reflash rom install apps slowly till you figure it out.
It's been running since around 2 this morning. It's almost 3 now. The only thing that's above 10% is System Processes. When I touch it to look at all the processes, suspend tops the list at 16.4% over the last 8 hours, 40.4% over the last 2 hours.
My phone has recently decided to sleep ... sometimes. I haven't changed anything. I haven't removed any apps, flashed any ROMs, or wiped dalvik cache since doing it the first time. Spare Parts still shows UID 10094 is keeping my phone awake more than anything else. I would appreciate any insight into what UID 10094 is.
Noob here. How do I know if my phone is sleeping or not?
You can go to Settings > About phone > Battery and it will give you Up time and Awake time. I just use Spare Parts because it's a lot easier.
Suspend remains as the most active process on my phone. My phone has been unplugged for a little under three hours and it's down to 67% with zero use.
There is a critical bug in JI6 with the SyncManager and Exchange Push synching. Periodically it will turn into a run away process while synching. The process will get stuck downloading and uploading over 3G.
It is critical because it makes the phone very hot to the touch, rapidly drains battery, and uses a lot of data. The process will not stop until the battery is dead. It happened last night to me, and from a 100% charged battery, I woke up to 5% while on the charger and a critical low battery warning. Looking at T-Mo's data tracking, it used 60MB of data.
Has anyone else had this issue? Where can I officially report this issue to T-Mobile/Samsung?
I've seen a similar issue, and don't know a way around it.
I thought you might be on to something, and you are, certainly.
I turned off sync for email this morning, saved my settings, hit home, killed all running processes, and returned to the settings to double check, and none of the settings had taken. I repeated this process thinking maybe I missed the "save" the first time around, and yielded the same results.
So... I deleted the corporate email acct. saved my settings, hit home, killed all running processes, and returned to the settings yet again, and noticed it had restarted itself with no account to sync.
I have no advice on how to solve this, I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus. Maybe someone smarter than both of us know of a solution.
To note: Odin JI6 flash, JI2 modem, Bionix Fusion 1.1 ROM, 2G only, all DRM .apk's removed via root explorer, all sync to manual, and 1 hour off charger, down to 76% from fully charged. My opinion? Vibrant firmware fail.
My solution so far has been to kill the running process for the SyncManager, and then go launch Email and hit refresh. That tends to fix it until the next time it runs away.
Here's how I identify it:
1. 3G logo constantly has upload and download arrows turned on.
2. Phone gets hot.
3. No email is received.
I can work around the battery use. The big concern to me is the data use. It is simply a waste of data and I don't want to hit the 5 GB limit.
I have the same issue. I thought I had fixed it a couple days ago because it didn't happen for two days. I had taken out the battery for about ten minutes. But this morning it did it again. It seems to happen alot immediately after being taken off the charger. Although that's not the only time it happens.
We really need a solution to this as you have to babysit your phone at all times to make sure it's not going berserk and draining your battery.

I re-setup my corporate account with neither the security or accept all certificates options set, and it's not as bad. I.E. battery usage down to reasonable drain and phone no longer hot to the touch. My IT guy theorized that since it's checking for SSL it could get stuck in a loop, and runaway.
<shrugs>
In the meantime I found a 3500 battery/new back on ebay and clicked buy now.
So has anyone found a fix for this problem yet?
I alrdy posted a question about this but I figured it out myself in the meantime (i think):
My phone has/had a very high battery drain and I was wondering why. So I kept watching the battery history over and over.. and yesterday I recognized that sometimes the phone doesnt seem to go into sleep mode. When you see the battery history, the "Execution" % (the thing that shows how much % of uptime the phone has been executing/running something) went up even when the phone display was turned off. This meant that some process had to be running.
So after watching the thing closer for a while I noticed that its the mediaserver process. Restarting the phone did help. But after a while the problem was back. So after some more investigation I found out that (in my case) Fruit Ninja was causing this. When I played it, afterwards the mediaserver would keep running. I tried to kill the process, both in app settings, and even in terminal mode, but without sucess. Only restarting the phone did help so far.
..
So if you having very high battery drain you could look into this. There might be other apps out that cause this too.
To see if thats the problem check battery history and note/remember the actual execution %. Then turn off display/let it lie for 5 or 10 minutes, and check the % again, if it went up this or a similar problem might cause ur drain.

If someone can figure out a way to restart/fix mediaserver without restarting the phone it would be awesome.
To view the process in terminal:
ps | grep media
tried killing with -15 and -9 both didnt really work, although the response was that the process was terminated/killed. So maybe there is something else wrong than the process itself.
You might be on to something.
In the last few days I have been seeing horrendous battery drainage.
I charge my phone in the evening and next morning it is at 40% left!
I also thought it must have had something to do with the phone not going to sleep.
Battery history tells me "Time without Sleep: 4d 6h", in the last 110 hours since restart!
So something is preventing it from going into sleep mode.
Thanks for sharing, I will see if I can test it a little more.
for me exactly the same,
mediaserver up and ruining in background after playing ' pocket legends', restart did help.
running on original samsung rom 2.1 jm2, just rooted.

I can confirm this problem (generated by Fruit Ninja apparently). killing the service with the terminal emulator (using root and the pid) and then restarting it seems to work, but it's not really user friendly.
Should find a way to avoid the mediaserver to loop or at least automatize the process (for example with some sort of background script that kills/restarts the mediaserver if it has 5-10%+ cpu usage for 5 minutes or more pooling every minute)
Edit: killing the process and restarting it brings it to low cpu usage, but I'm not shure the phone goes back to sleep mode as it should
Edit2: I don't really understand... I had the phone on for 2 days, then I've started fruit ninja and the mediaserver went crazy. Killed it several times and everytime I've restarted the game the problem come back (and this is all ok).
I was pretty shure the problem was in some .png in the .apk file since there are people with a similar problem caused by corrupted images or videos, so i extracted them and opened one by one: no problem at all.
Restarted the game, killed it.. and the mediaserver was ok at 0% cpu usage
I guess there is a combination of more elements here.
I tested the game, turn off, 7hrs of idle later I lost 40% battery!
The same problem here ! I need to charge my phone every night. If i leave the phone over the night it may take up to 30 % of the battery
Hoi,
My batt. drained in less than six hours, so I tried different methods to get around this. Switching 3G off and so on. But nothing helped in my case! So I went back to the store, explained the problem... The guy came with some of the usual excuses.... So finally I've dicided to buy a NEW batt. With that all my problems just went a way. I average 2 to 3 days with moderate use. Checking mail, some news,Radio for like 1 hour. About 10 min. Call time and a few other things.... So a new batt. solved my problem. Just incase a bought a spare.
But aside from this, Samsung should look into issue and handle the complaints seriously.

I don't understand why mediaserver drains my battery everyday. I have cleared cache and cleaned data for mediaserver, factory resetted my phone and cleared davlik cache. I have also disabled mediaserver and all samsung bloatware and also turned off all syncing. Can anyone explain why it still turns on and starts draining my battery?
Had same Problem (without external sd). Try the following:
- Delete Every Picture and music from phone (copy it to your pc)
-delete data from musik, gallery and mediascanner
-shutdown phone an remove battery for ~30min
-start phone and charge to 100%
-if phone ist charged, take a screenshot an look into gallery, if the screenshot is there.
-put phone in deep sleep for ~30min to ~1h.
-check battery stats if mediascanner is still on top. If not, copy your data back.
Other possible reasons for mediascanner problem:
-corrupt sd card
-corrupt media files
Maybe this procedure will help you. I tried also everything, but only this steps helped me to stop the drain of the mediascanner.

I'm my case my problem is with external SD, when I unmount it mediaserver draining stops, so I guess deleting data from apps won't make any difference. When I mount it mediaserver comes back
So maybe your sd card is defect or there is corrupt data on it. Backup your sd card and format it with the phone.

i'm gonna see if I have time to delete one by one to really know what to delete next time it happens
Hello!
Every day, about the afternoon begins the background activity. I checked with the Betterbatterystats - the program says that the phone is asleep. But these moments of increased battery consumption!
Break this activity can be, or fully charge the phone or doing a hard reset. Neither the removal of all applications, or restart, nothing else helps.
I also have a line graph activity of WiFi, despite the fact that the WIFI radio off in the morning. In fact, the line graph is interrupted only if completely disable data transfer, including mobile.
Is your phone updated to the newest firmware? Maybe this is the firmware update process.
Yep, I tried 3OH version and now old 2NM - the same. Updater was disabled in both cases.
