I'm having a funky wakelock issue. Over the last couple of days I've had a PhoneApp partial wakelock that's been running almost continuously while the phones been off the charger. Today a new one related to the phone popped up. I've attached screen shots and dump files from better battery stats so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on.

I also have the log cat file if needed.
Do you have any MOD that enables the Torch/Flashlight to work from the lockscreen by long pressing volume up or down? I used to have that on and it killed battery from my experience
I do have that mod enabled although I have had it enabled for months and have not had any issues with it draining battery.

Yeah I would disable it for process of elimination to see if that's the cause.
Or another route is do you remember if you restarted your phone since you unplugged it off of the charger? Try to restart your phone everytime you take it off of a charger with the MOD enabled to see if that corrects it
I don't know why this fixed it but it did. I wonder what the developer changed in the coding to cause this to be an issue now

I read that not only the long press for torch but also the long press for music controls did the same thing. Thought it would be a great idea until I read about the power drain

With the note 3's massive battery I was still finishing an 18 hour day with 40-50 percent remaining but anything that hits battery life, in particular anything that keeps the phone from deep sleeping, has got to go.
For me it's not so much about day to day battery life as it is about long term battery health

Bought the vibrant 4 days ago. Flashed it 2 with the Obsidian ROM. Getting great battery life from it too.
Had some free time on my hands yesterday and went on an app downloading rampage. In two hours of light use today my battery has dropped 40%!
How can I identify the source of the power loss?

Media hub always seems to start itself and does drain some. Have you reconditioned your battery yet? I'm on obsidian v2 and this is where I'm at so far.

19 hours with 23% left, not too bad. I downloaded a boat load of apps, installed even more from backup, played a little bit of angry birds and have been streaming Pandora for the past 4 hours.

I did. Took about 9 hours of constant use to drain the ***** too! Exactly why I dont get what's draining the battery. Task manager and Services seem normal as well. Battery usage itsthe same as yours... :\ FML
What I do to recondition is charge to 100% and keep it plugged in for 5 minutes longer... unplug for a minute or two, plug back in, charge til full again and keep plugged in for a few minutes longer. Continually doing this until it takes awhile for it to get below 100% unplugged. This seems to work better for me than the charge, clear battery stats, discharge etc.. and doesn't take nearly as long.

i'll give it a shot... she went down to 11% in a flash. lets see whats up
System panel is a great app to monitor how much CPU an app uses.

I don't have any "weird" application running in the background, this happened with the original carrier ROM (telcel, México) and with a "debranded" canadian ROM.
The battery life just runs away, I've charged my phone fully and then I unplug it, leave it sitting there without touching it like an hour (just wifi enabled, no celular data at all) and I'm getting this.

6% drained in a hour without touching the device.
BTW: It's a SGH - I337M
This is my battery life. On att network. Try installing BBS and see if your getting wakelocks.

Definitely there's something wrong on mine... I'll install that and I'll let it "sleep" all night and see the results.
Thanks a lot. I'll come here again with my results.
Let BBS run at least 48hrs with no reboots to give you a full evaluation. That's what I do and I find the answer in couple of days. :thumbup:

So, I don't understand the application, I don't even know if I need to leave it open or what :/
I've solved it, it was the 4G antenna draining my battery life.
Do you have bad reception? Usually that causes severe battery drain. I'm glad you found what the issue is.

2 hours on the phone did this to my battery. Screen time was 48 mins. Screen was off on call using BT. Phone was red hot after call

It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..
Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.
Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.
I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:
Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

Do you guys have similar averages? (Seen at bottom of image)

Why is the used time being broken down as if the device was restarted when it hasn't. I made sure that this app could use background data as well. I sent the developer an email last week but as per usual they can't be bothered responding. Uptime of device has been over 36 hours.

I've not had that issue, only problem I had was when I did the auto-restart at night it counted it as two seperate sessions, but judging by your battery life and working gsam you're on the SD (I'm on the exynos)
God dam 4 hours of SOT and 12 hours standby for 29% battery :crying:
Have you done much in terms of optimisation?

I'm a light user mate. I don't stream movies and only my basic location services are on, not high accuracy. Bluetooth is also off and my all my advanced options are off except for swipe left or right to respond to a contact. I have disabled all of Bixby via package disabler. Auto brightness is also off.
I use accubattery pro and also gsam to monitor.

Not sure if this is the problem. Did play store updated the app during the period of time?
