GCM_CONN killing battery - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if this is normal.
Betterbatterystats has these two wakelocks absolutely killing my battery: GCM_CONN and GCM_CONN_ALARM
These account for 98% of the wakelocks on my phone.
I'm not even sure what they do but my CPU is always stuck in 300 Mhz 98% of the time even overnight. I get about 5-6% drain overnight because my CPU doesn't go to deep sleep mode. CPU Spy says that it is in 300 mhz 98% of the time.
I'm not really sure how to fix this or what I need to disable. Any ideas?

[Q] Not entering deepsleep, cause of battery drain?

Hi,
I'm onto Kyrillos 5.2 and FUGUmod 2.4 beta 3 - 800 mhz.
I got setcpu OnDemand, 333 800.
I got Pimp my CPU , just lowered voltage to -100 on 333 and 800 mhz.
Everything was fine, battery life excellent, I was happy...
One night battery was on 60% in the morning battery 0% ?? No wifi, no gps etc..
Ok I didn't delete battery stats in Recovery so I did that and now should be fine I said...
Again massive drainage during night. Hmm maybe Tasker or some other stuff.
I disabled tasker and everything and downloaded powertutor and some other applications to check what is eating battery. I could not find anything suspicious.
Everything should be fine. I noticed in CPUspy that my phone goes 333, 800 but never hits Deep Sleep mode.
Is that the reason for battery drain? How to enable deep sleep mode, in Setcpu and Pimp my Cpu there is no option for that and I guess 83 mhz is not Deep Sleep.
Does anyone know what is going on?
I cannot recall my memory did I had deepsleep before in CPUspy but I think I did....
Services running :
3g watchdog
Tasker,
TaskManager,
Missed calls widget
Switchpro
Touchdown
Devicemanagement
Android core apps
DRM portected
SNS
SlideIt
There are no new application , these were before darinage.
Thank you!!!
edit: I think I played with setCPU and pimpmycpu that night problems started, but I think now everything should be fine but maybe it is not is device is not entering sleep, so how to enable deep sleep again if that is the problem?
edit2: Well I played with SetPCU, enable profile to go to 83mhz , and all of the sudden I could see DeepSleep in CPUSpy. Then I returned to 800 300, turned off profiles and now I got Deepsleep. dont know what happened, probably I set similar values with Pimp My CPU which messed something.... Pimp my CPU also has min and max so probably I messed something I think with changing settings there.
edit3: Great, Deepsleep is gone again, I didnt restart or do nothing. Just noticed phone does not goes to deepsleep again. Tried messing with profile, moving bar left right but no use... Now instead deepsleep i got 83 mhz .... when messed before I got deepsleep, now only 83 mhz.... All I did was turn on 3g ( now turned off), used vtok and thats it.
can someone explain what is going on here?
edit4: Vtok is preventing device to go into deep sleep, I killed service and now bam, I got deep sleep... great just great...

What are the programs consuming the battery in battery stats ? Do you have a huge photo and music library ?
CPU state

Yeah, i have the same issue, i do have a huge library
From CPUSPY I saw my phone will either in deep sleep or directly hit up to 998...using WB TW GM rom BTW...
same here , cpu using only 998, 245 and deep sleep
same here. using pre-rooted stock. cpu spy shows that it mostly uses 998 and then deep sleep. 245 only a little, nothing else.
it makes phone heat up a little when using it and charging takes longer because of this. Even on wall charger.
I installed Wolf's ROM and took out all Timescape / Facebook / Twitter stuff ...
CpuSpy shows:
63% deep sleep.
29% 245
6% 998
No sync with Google, no Gmail built in App. I use K9 for 2 accounts refreshing every 15 minutes, my Image monitor widgets for every 30 minutes and Snowstorm for weather. WiFi was on all day (I've set no sleep policy). But was Sunday so not that much "work" (testing some app, etc).
Tomorrow I'll see.
hi there,i've got the same probleme,any solution ?

[Q] Battery drain in deep sleep

Hello,
I have a rooted stock nexus 7.
I have the following situation:
I turn the screen off and leave it for 30 minutes. Using better battery stats and cpu spy I verify that 28 minutes were deep sleep and the rest around 200-340mhz.
When I check batter monitor widget (set at refresh once every minute) i see that I have around 343-156 mah drain in all those 30 minutes.
I even forced my cpu frequency when screen is off to 51mhz and by using cpu spy verify it is indeed true. When checking with battery monitor widget I still get values around 343-156 mah. Also tried to force at 100, 240mhz - still the same values.
Wifi, gps, bluetoth, nfc is off.
Partial wakelocks are (sumed all of them) 3-4 minutes total.
Anyone has any ideas regarding the source of the problem ?
Thank you !

[Q] How to use CPU spy?

There's definitely something wrong with my phone right now. Android OS is taking up over 50% of the battery. My phone has been on for 16 hours, with only 1 hour screen time, and I only have 34% battery left.
I have decided to install CPU spy to find out what's going on. According to CPU spy, my phone is very rarely going into deep sleep. For the 1 hour that I have had it installed so far, my phone has gone into deep sleep for a total of 6 minutes, and in the 384 Mhz state for 50 minutes. The whole time the screen has been off. Something is definitely not right.
That leads me to the topic of this thread. How do I pinpoint what app is causing this issue? Do I have to just do trial and error with every app, or is there a quicker way of finding the bad app?
Install Better Battery Stats. There's a paid market version and a free XDA version. It'll pinpoint what's keeping your device from deep sleeping

Thanks. I just got the app. Do I look at the Partial Wakelocks section to determine which apps are the problem?
Yes, Partial wakelocks lists app services
So if my deep sleep says 39:51:46 - 59%, is that good or bad?
it depends what you done with your phone that deep sleep sounds ok but I don't know your other stats,cpu spy is only for cpu frequency
I put better bat stats on my signature, look for the partial wakelocks since boot or unplug.

No deep sleep after charging to 100%

Hi, I have a weird problem with my i9505 lately. After I fully charged over night and I pull it off the charger it won't go into deep sleep. Wakelock Detector doesn't show any wakelocks but it shows 100% awake. CPU Spy shows that it stays awake at 384 Mhz. After I reboot the phone everything is fine. I'm on CM 10.2 nightlys.
