Anyone else having partial wakelocks/worse battery life after JB OTA?

Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone happens to be getting a lot of partial wakelocks without screen on or if your overall battery life has decreased since installing the 4.1.1 OTA. When I first purchased the phone, I had very very few incidents under my battery info where I would have a session awake without the screen on. Post update, seems like I've got a ton of really small wakes with no screen activity. I have turned off Google Now and every GPS/Location setting I could find. Downloaded Better Battery Stats today so I'm going to see if I can get some better info on what's going on, new to the program though and I don't understand most of the info that it reads.
Prior to the update, letting my phone sit overnight I would maybe see a 3 or 4% drop over the course of say six or seven hours. Now I'm seeing a 3 to 4% drop in battery per hour, more if I'm actively using the phone. I'm going to do more testing, specifically overnight to see how it fairs. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues.

I am noticing the same thing. Don't know the cause. Keep sync off all day.

Im getting the fast dormancy symptom again... no matter what i tried I cant fix it... always connecting as HSPDA+ even if im not using......anyone got any ideas?

Hmm, might try a factory reset and not installing any apps at all and seeing how it fairs. By chance, do you guys have any of the stock bloatware apps disabled? Not rooted/Frozen, but just disabled via the apps menu? Wondering if perhaps disabling any of them might be a trigger.

for me freezing modem fast dormancy monitor and modem stats service appears to fix fast dormancy

Yes I am noticing it to. I disabled Google now and it got a bit better.

Yea i'm getting that. I'm using 13% overnight now vs like 4% before. Not sure about the wakelocks though.
Some random things I've noticed are the blur widget resets itself alot. And the transition to the settings window on the left is laggy. How would one revert back to ICS? Google Now is not that worth it to me and the phone was smooth enough before. I'd take the battery life over the new features.
I did buy a second Razr M for my girlfriend that's still on ICS. I guess I can do a side by side compare this weekend.

I am loving the update.. only issue so far is fire fox crashing..no battery issues. Must be settings guys..

i don't think it is setting i have all my syncs to manual, and i have been noticing a lot worse battery life since the update i would have 18+ hours or so off charger with pretty heavy texting / game / some voice calls. Now i'm not getting close to that. I just disabled the fast dormancy service to see if that helps any, ill post back results

Just did a factory reset today, I'm not going to disable any of the bloatware this time, and I only installed BetterBatteryStats as well as updated all the default apps in the Play Store. Going to see if I get any wakelocks this time around.
Last night, after a period of 6 hours, I had over an hours worth of partial wakelocks from AlarmManager (subheading Phone).
-Matt :good:

I disabled Google Now and my phone used 7% battery over 6 and a half hours. A little bit better.

A factory reset (annoying as it is) helped me considerably. My phone was also seriously laggy before the reset...slow like my old DX on GB, much worse than factory ICS. It finally feels smooth now, like JB should.
Still seeing a lot more wakelocks than on ICS, but it doesn't seem to be draining the battery like it was before the reset. I also removed or disabled a couple of apps that seemed to be serious offenders (Accuweather was one).

Did a reset on mine as well and did not restore from Google backup. Still seeing wakelocks, but as someone noted earlier they don't seem to be draining the battery too much. With that said, the battery does still seem to tick down much faster than on ICS. One thing I did find that helped, although honestly it's not really a solution, is turning off data use when I'm out and about just answering texts and such. If I have data/wifi disabled, I'm getting closer to the battery life that ICS was giving, but then again who wants to go around having to toggle data on and off every time you want to look something up.

Is maps showing up on your battery stats and you're not using it? If so, simply open the application. It should say "updated to the latest version" or something like that. If this is happening, this will solve your battery problems.
Happened on my Galaxy Nexus and was happening initially for this phone too. Hope this helps someone.

Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service Not Responding.
Me and my wife both updated to KitKat on our Razr M's. I like it so far. The pop up about modem fast dormancy bothers both of use. When you look under battery, it uses more battery than other apps. I force stop it, reboot and it comes right back. A chat on Motorola web site sugested to wipe partition cache. The link that was provide gives the wrong instructions. KitKat using the power and volume keys has changed. They forgot to tell some people. That didn't work! I sent a long email to Motorola telling them that someone messed up or they did this for a reason! I guess if you get mad enough you'll just buy a newer phone. If that one thing is fixed, we would both be happy. The white background in text take some getting use to also. I hope Motorola will help us, but I kind of think Razr M's will be considered OLD! They are betting we will junk them for a new model.

[Q] Nexus 4 sudden signal loss, battery drain and shutdown!

Hi all,
First post so go easy :angel:
I've had my N4 for about 18 months. Ever since 4.4.3 (now on 4.4.4 and nothings changed) I think I have been having some probelms.....I also dropped my phone around the time of the update so can't rule out a hardware problem, anyway....
On full charge the phone is, after a random amount of use perhaps around half battery, it drops signal completely....then it start goiing crazy, opening apps clicking on things (sometimes locks up) then shuts it's self off.
Once I turn it back on it says the battery is almost out.....even though before the crash it was at 50%???? (Please see imnage below for "cliff edge" on battery screen shot!)
I have tried safe mode, I have done a factory reset and removed all and any apps except facebook. Other symptoms include forgeting wifi and other account logins!
Also worth noteing I dropped it and smashed the screen, I then had it repaired and voided the warrenty (?) because I needed it same day for work.....dont know if thats connected was working fine for a while after this happened.
I have seen various posts of this forum and other about this kind of thing but no exact answers.....any help would be great 7 months until free new phone
Sudden drop is extreme right....

Re flash factory images for a full wipe, if it doesn't work after that then its probably hardware (sadly), maybe you could get a moto g? I've heard there really good and cheap.

Sounds like something went wrong during the repair or drop and that this is a hardware issue. As suggested, try flashing full stock, but I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem, unfortunately.

Thanks guys .....Ive been doing as much reading as pos.
Some people are saying reather than the drop its maybe just a failed battery? thoughts?

It could definitely be a possibility. If you are up to it, you could purchase a new battery and try to replace it, there is just the risk of damaging something further.

Same things happen to me. I thouhgt the battery is comming to end and orderd new one but I have read that people have some similar problems after updating from 4.4.2
On nexus 5 people also have problem with to fast battery drain. I have similar problems. I lose network, afterwards battery drop from 20-40% -> 0%

Same thing is happening to my wifes NEXUS 4. Hers is a little over a year old now. It was dropped and I replaced the screen a few months ago, but ever since the new updates, her phone has been going CRAZY!
The phone randomly loses signal, battery drains quickly and apps open close (ghost touches) and then it shuts down.
I've cleared the cache, reset to factory defaults and even run in safe mode and nothing. The phone is useless now, she maybe gets 2 hours of normal use out of it before it goes completely nuts again.

One of us should roll back to 4.2.2. and report the result

Facing similar issues. Have posted it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fast-battery-discharge-t2799931/post53790262?nocache=1
Any solutions?

I am waiting for a new battery. Try rollback to 4.2.2.

ITs same on my phone after an 4.4.3 update teh N4 gone rogue before the update it was working just fine I just did factory reset got back to 4.2.1 android and its doing the same

Just to keep you up to speed...I suspect it may be the battery....or perhaps power management issue/conflict??
Trick is if I keep my battery charge above 60-65% it's fine......get below that and the trouble start.....weird. hvaing said that seems to drain faster than normal also. My hope are pinned on battery solution once Rajnus trys it.
Although not looking foward to taking phone apart to replace it

Today after the first symptom I rebooted phone and after reboot my battery was at 14%. It looks like to me that we have constant drain but system some how is not registering it properly. I will restart after every 10%
Edit: 85% ->reboot -> 57%

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from this issues as well. I replaced my screen and digitizer about 3 months ago and never had issues. Last week I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (and 4.4.4 shortly after) and started having the same issues where there would be ghost touches on the screen once I got to around 70% battery, loss of radio/signal, and when I would restart the phone, I would lose majority of the battery charge. I tried flashing stock back on the phone and the problem still is present.

Just to repeat that is exactly what is happening to me word for word.

I Just Do Not Understand...

Maybe I just had really high expectations for this phone, maybe I just got a bad unit or maybe it's just that way.
When I first got my N6P, I had a time flashing it. My computer would freeze and the phone came back saying it was corrupt, then the phone reset itself. The files on my N5 are still on my N5 since it's so painful to transfer files. Here are some problems I'm having.
The Google app is telling me that the app is not compatible with my version of Android. What?? That makes absolutely no sense, and since it isn't compatible, I can't update it. I'm using an LG G Watch, and the device shows it's connected, but I am getting zero notifications on it. I open the Wear app and it tells me to update the Google app. This is where I hit a wall.
Second is Snapchat. I barely use Snapchat, but when I do, the app will not work. It freezes, stutters, lags, and requires a force close always. My Nexus 5 worked absolutely fine.
Third is the camera. The camera, since I rooted just will not open. I've looked up this issue and apparently its common, and flashing vendor.img fixes it. So I downloaded vendor.img and flashed it. I then got an error saying something was wrong internally with my device. Then I downloaded the latest factory image (that I'm on) and flashed that vendor.img instead of the one I downloaded. The error went away and the camera opened. Then that was that, it never opened again. Apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc will not use the camera at all, because I guess the camera API is corrupted. Why does this happen on the 6P after root?
Lastly is the battery life. I'm a college student with bills and have got to wait until next payday to get my phone turned on with service, so I've been using airplane mode with WiFi. Adaptive brightness is off, 20% brightness, NFC, WiFi and Bluetooth scanning is off, GPS off, ambient display is off since I have my watch, and I get almost 3 hours SOT, usually 2.5. Keep in mind, this is in airplane mode! I see people getting 4, 5, and 6+ hours SOT on the forums, saying that everything is turned on and pulling data, etc. This is insanely disappointing to me, as I hoped with the big battery and Marshmallow, it would be more optimized. I paid 700 dollars for this 128GB phone, so I expected the battery to be better than my N5 was back in 2013. Currently I have 87% battery and it's dropping while I'm not using it. I have 18 minutes SOT.
The phone itself though is truly amazing and beautiful. Very premium feeling, very sleek, very thin and light. The front facing speakers BLOWS my mind on how crisp and loud they are. They are wonderful. The display colors and crispness is gorgeous. The fingerprint scanner is really great to have, and the phone is very fast.
I don't know what to do. If I can't get better battery life then I'm going to need to return the phone, even though I sincerely don't want to.
Help with any of these? I really just want better battery from such a premium device and it truly saddens me now.

What are you running. Stock or custom. I am on full stock and don't have any of those issues. I also only plug in my phone about an hour a day and I am a heavy user. It seems you may just have a bad chip though. It happens.

I agree, I wanna say he have a bad unit, I get 4-5 hours of screen on time and I'm on my phone from the minute I get up, until I go to sleep. I'm a really heavy user

so, by the sounds of it, you flashed a bunch of things improperly, and now are wondering why things aren't working?
(before you get sassy, you did flash things imporoperly (comp freezing, phone resetting), because you had some errors, and your vendor was out of date etc.. This isn't an insult, happens to all of us at some point or another)
follow THIS guide, and go back to COMPLETE stock:

The Camera not working is usually an indication of an improper kernel/boot img.

The device is also now slowing down a bit. The RAM is really being used..
EDIT: tries uploading screenshots. It's over 2 GBs being used on RAM.

Your phone is just messed up, I'm sure that once you get it completely stock, it'll work better and have a better SOT.
There's been some reports of bluetooth causing wakelocks when using smartwatches.

Not judging. Just confused.

Sounds to me like you've done something to the phone yourself that's causing these problems. Especially the camera not opening, that's a symptom of having the wrong boot.img flashed to the device. Factory resetting won't help if you have the wrong boot.img flashed. You need to flash the factory images to ensure that everything is in line. See my guide for details:

It kinda does make sense, I don't know exactly what you've done to cause these problems but mismatches can affect battery performance. Go back to stock, flash the latest SuperSU beta and nothing else and see how it performs.

It doesn't have to be the unit at all, it's likely to be a result of inexperience and bad flashing.

Flashed back to complete stock, and rooted. Phone feels faster, camera now works, BUT battery is still not up to par with what others get and reviews say. I can barely get two hours, it's usually around 2:40. I have no rogue apps, I have BBS, and WLD showing nothing out of the ordinary. Normal drainers like scanning is off and I am using greenify. With no luck. Battery life is still just like my N5 when it was brand new in 2013. For a 2015/2016 phone, it's very disappointing.
Anything else you guys would recommend?

Uninstall Greenify, it's known for messing up with Doze.
Btw, are you living in a bad reception area? Do you use wifi or 4G most of the time? Brightness?

Should I do another factory reset?

So the last night I updated my device to the lastest firmware (APD1),had no issues while upgrading, but after the update was installed i didn't give it time to do its magic,I tested it for about 10 mins and no issues actually,then I immediately did factory reset, now I have some minor issues, I feel like swiping the edge panel is not as smooth as before a little bit laggy, and the settings app sometimes takes a while to start so it does not immediately open when I press on it, and the last thing I feel is battery life, well I can not say it's terrible but it's a bit worse than before,so are these issues the consequences of immediately doing factory reset after updating and not giving the update the time to settle? Or what I did is completely safe and these issues are normal? Should I flash the device? Should I do another factory reset?

My edge panels are also sticky and often won't slide out with the first swipe. It's driving me insane. My OCD is off the charts right now.

Have you noticed the stubborn panels on your phone too? I thought it was hardware and got a warranty replacement, but new phone is doing it too.

Sudden drop in battery performance on my Nexus 6P(no rogue 3rd party apps).

Hello everyone!
So I have been having these battery issues since April security patch. the phone gets really warm to the touch even by doing the simplest of things like browsing and watching youtube. Android OS keeps the phone awake 80% of the time and I am only getting 2-3 hours of use throughout the day. Restored the phone to factory settings(fresh start, nothing restored) three days ago and still the same issue. Android OS drains the battery life even though I made sure that only google apps are installed on the phone.
But today things got even weirder. I disabled Google Now and location services as a test and the battery drain and heat issues were gone temporarily. I was getting a great battery performance from morning to afternoon. I check my battery stats and I notice that Google services mysteriously drained 17% of my battery life and that it's been running for 21 days straight? That's impossible since I just did a fresh reset to the phone three days ago. I rebooted the phone and that "Google services" drain changed to WiFi instead?! That's crazy!
I contacted Google store support team and they have been really helpful so far. They offered to replace the phone with a refurbished unit, but I don't think I am ready to give up on this phone just yet.
Thank you!

I hate to recommend this, but sometimes things go out of wack after a SW update, so a hard reset would probably be needed. I would try that (just start from zero) before jumping into a refurbished phone that might have some other kind of issues. Have you tried a hard reset yet? I see that you did a fresh reset. Did you go through the recovery though? Not just the regular UI. I think it's better to clear cache, and every thing through the recovery (custom or stock).

I did it through recovery. I have cleared the cache and rebooted the phone several times the past few days. Nothing seems to help at all.

Turn off your google backup.

Wow. Maybe a custom ROM might help? Have you tried that? That's the last thing I would do. Good luck!

Not recommended but I just flashed January vendor and ROM and that has helped my battery life. I. Believe it is the security updates that kill our battery.

Is it a widespread issue? Like I said in my post, I saw the decline ever since I got the April security update. The May patch actually managed to make things worse. There seems to be something hidden in the OS that it's draining the battery and causing the awake issues. I haven't tried rooting the device because I lack the experience to do so. I will probably look into it on these forums, but at this point I have tried everything.
Disabling Google now helped a lot and it exposed some sort of a glitch with the stock battery monitoring app. I am not sure if it's hardware or software, but it's certainly not normal. I am tempted to just replace it, but I am afraid that this issue will just plague the new one from Google. I am really disappointed How Google handles updates on this device. I always thought that stock android is most stable version of android, but the software on my old Xperia Z is actually more stable than this. It never had battery drain issues and standby battery life was always great. The battery life on Nexus 6P is actually worse than the Xperia Z even though that phone is 3 years old.

I've seen a lot of posts over the months with people having the same problem we are. I came from a mid range LG stylo with a snapdragon 610. I would have 8 hours screen on time daily. Its sad that goggle cant get the same out of their own hardware. Also I have seen that the Note 5 and S7 Edge both get better battery life as opposed to our stock phones. For as much as people praise stock and look down on Touchwiz, they are doing something right over there.

But it doesn't affect everyone and that what puzzles me. Only certain phones are hit by these issues, while other people are getting excellent battery life. I have seen plenty of people post screenshots of 6 hours+ of on screen time. I am lucky to get 3 hours. I think Google should really invest in creating a better power management system into Android. Companies like Sony and Samsung built their own and the battery life on their devices always perform predictably relative to what I am seeing on this phone. I have never witnessed The doze feature kick in since I have bought this phone. Sony had stamina mode since 2013 and it actually worked.

Most of those people posting those outrageous number root and do kernel tweaks. I've gotten at most 6 hours SOT on stock without root. You are right our phones do all react differently to certain circumstances. I don't know if it's feasible to you ,but you should try rooting and trying out a few Roms some help others don't. If you aren't into Roms and decide to root try earlier vendors and stock roms and see it those work. I'm not an expert by any means just my suggestions.

Well, the fact that you are having great battery life proves my point. It's either that the quality control of the batteries used on these phones are terrible, or that the software or kernel are corrupted from factory causing these issues. There is no way to fix them by hard reseting the phone so far. I am going to try to flash a stock rom on this device and see what happens. Thanks by the way.

1) Are you rooted? If not, at least do that and install BBS in order to track down what's eating your battery.
2) Probably we'll run into a common problem / bug the last two months.
After unplugging the phone, it seems that the wakelock *backup* runs constantly, does not let phone get into sleep, and runs in the background while using your phone causin battery to drain faster.
3) About battery life. Comparing battery results between two users it has no point, unless you really now his usage pattern. Not only the setup, but which apps of them used most etc.
For example Facebook app is real battery eater. I've seen an hour more SOT without this app.
I can give several examples like this.
