Ipc wakelock? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else come across a IPC Wakelock. I have one that comes and goes but over throughout the last day it has had 20,000 wakes. It is called ipc00000024_er.ServerThread
I have odined back to stock, factory reset and everything but it still comes back. I even odined back to stock and did not change any settings and didn't download any apps and after a day or so it started up.
Any help would be great.

Phone is freezing since JI6

I updated my phone manually through Mini Kies.
Before the update with or without OCLF applied, the phone would never freeze. Since I've applied the update the day before yesterday, the phone has locked up three times. Basically what happens is, the screen will, well, freeze, and my button presses do absolutely nothing, I hit the back button- phone vibrates, does nothing, same with home button. To power it off I either hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, I have not yet had to pull the battery. HOWEVER. This last time it froze, I powered down the device but the phone would not turn back on. I pulled the battery from the phone and inserted it back in and after doing so my phone powered back on with no problem. It's a bit concerning though. Probably the worst thing about all of this is the fact that my phone runs great! Fast and responsive, GPS seems to be spot on. Except about once a day since the update, it freezes.
Any ideas? I have no experience with modding/flashing anything so I get really nervous with things like installing custom roms. I was thinking I could roll back the update and then re-do the update. I doubt I'd get the update OTA though, I updated my girls device OTA and she has had no problems so far.
I was even considering flashing Bionix, but again, very nervous to do so. I even had trouble just creating a nandroid backup! I couldn't get into clockwork recovery to do so.
Can anyone just baby me with this? Tell me where to start?
Thanks :/
I would suggest you flash back to stock firmware using Odin.
Go into the Development section and look at the directory sticky. There is a link in there for a thread on how to go back to stock firmware.
Once you flashed back to stock, i suggest using it on stock for a day or two to make sure the phone work correctly. Once you verified the phone working then try to update to JI6 again via Kies mini.
Other than that you can start to mess around with flashing different custom firmware and mods. It hard to brick the phone since you can always go into download mode and odin back to stock.
Be adventurous! Good luck!
would you suggest that I go back to stock before trying to flash bionix?

You should go to JFD then to JI6. Freezing isn't normal, I don't have any freezing. If it was randomly freezing there would have been a 10 page thread on it already.
I've also had it freeze twice on me. Went from rooted Stock to JI6 using Odin. /shrug
Same issue after applying JI6 OTA. I unrooted before applying the OTA, but have now reapplied OCLF with stock.
Same issue. Frozen hard twice. Browser exits randomly. Battery drains about twice as fast as before JI6.
I went from fresh Stock to JI6 via Odin. I don't know if I can wait for Froyo. I may just go back to stock again, even with the broken GPS.
I bet the OP has a bunch of apps installed.
A lot of people are blaming the update, but I'm almost sure there are many rogue apps in the marketplace, because last night I was getting freezes and after I uninstalled all the apps I don't actually need (or use very frequently) all of the freezing just stopped. The phone runs smoothly now. And removing those apps + removing the Task Manager widget from one of my screens increased my battery life by ~200%.
I installed BioNix 1.9.1 (with JI6) and I'm still getting occasional freezes, but I'm wondering if they are due to Angry Birds which I installed at the same time as my original JI6 OTA update. I'm seeing some reports (forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid/38906-freezes-weird-stuff-angry-birds.html) , but I have no idea if this is a valid idea.
Anyone else seeing freezes with JI6, but not angry birds?
I've also been having freezing problems, and I think they're GPS related.
The last time was last Friday. I was driving down to Washington DC using my phone for turn-by-turn navigation, and it froze about 1/3 of the way there. I had to pull the battery out to restart. When I got to my destination, I was using Maps and then the browser, and while the GPS icon was on the notification bar, telling me it was trying to find my position, my phone froze again. Again, I had to pull the battery out. Both happened within around a 1.5-2 hour period. I realized it may be due to the GPS, so I turned off GPS right away. It's now Monday afternoon and my phone hasn't frozen since.

Epic 4g Screen turns off when I make a call!

So i was on DK28, but i reflashed back to DI18 and now to DG27 (i needed to fix my gps for work).
since i re flashed back, now when ever i make a phone call the screen just turns completely off and there's no way to turn it back on without removing the battery.
how can i fix this?
Sounds like something got borked when you flashed.
There isn't any setting that I know of that you can change to fix this.
Try to Odin back to DI18 again, that'll probably clear it up.

Weird Occurance.

Okay; so last night I unplugged my phone at 100% right as I went to sleep. I do this on a regular basis so nothing new.
I wake up this morning to my phone being turned off/dead. I attempt to turn it on after plugging it into the wall..and it got stuck on the boot logo and would vibrate in short bursts.
Weird; because I haven't flashed anything in a few weeks and everything seemed stable.
I pull the battery and reboot the phone..seems to work.
But as the phone powers on; the screen to log in to my account pops up to restore my data etc etc..
And guess what happens next? Force closes for every app I have install..no structural fc's.. just happens when I try opening ANY app installed.
I did try running Dolphin Browser through the phone's cache and moving the cache to my SD Card. Didn't work with it in the phone; but moving it to SD card allowed it to work for a bit then it crashed.
I fixed it by re-flashing the current rom i was running. I am running ext4; was posting to see if anyone has come across this?
What rom were you on?
Sent from my Evo Killer!
I haven't seen or heard of this before but I would suggest a fresh install. Odin back to stock dk28 and redoing everything the manual way. It's a ***** but dollars to donuts it fixes your problems.
Sent from my ext4 Epic 4G running Bonsai4all 1.1.3!
Been running midnight 2.2 for a while now. And it supports ext4; before you shoot that down
@kenvan I already fixed the issue; I was just seeing if anyone else ran into this..and to try and find out what caused it. Wish I was home so I could of gotten a logcat :/

[Q] GCM_LIB Partial wakelocks

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

Major sound and performance issues (Video & Sound related)

Starting Friday my phones been running slowish, keep getting worse and worse. I would reset, take the battery out hold down the power button, turn it back on. It would only briefly fix the issue.
So long story short here is the problem. When ever any of the following happens, I go to play music, to record a video, watch a video (via app, browser or player), or the screen times out.
If I do a video or music the app freezes, the screen will go black an sometimes never cuts back on. If it does its very slow and not responsive. If the screen times out, I can get back in but with no sound.
I have flashed back to stock (odin to NB1) hoping this will fix the issue, but didn't, re-flash a NB1 stock Kernal, still didn't fix the issue (actually made it worse, no sound never).
Prior to all this happening, I was running a STOCK rooted rom. The only thing that changed was the SMS app I was using went from 14 free trail to ad supported. I really hate to think the app had anything to do with it. I was not running any ad blocker.
So any ideas? I believe its goner be a loss. Is there an app I can get to test hardware, see if there is a problem there?
UPDATE: I ended up taking it to Best Buy and they used their software to re-image the phone. They did it to 5.0.1., and then the screen rotate didn't work. Odin to stock and trying this again.
