Hello,
I really tried to find an answer to my question but I couldn't. There is a thread in the Galaxy S3 forum but as I have a N4 and suggestions in the said thread did not help I'm trying here again.
As BBS tells me, Audioout_2 is causing a lot of wakelocks on my N4. In 10 hours of use, it caused 704 wakelocks (more than 50 minutes). I guess it is a lot since the next on the BBS list is Kakao talk with 9 minutes (280 times). The sound was turned off the whole time (vibrate only). And I don't have Viber installed (some people supposed that Viber caused the Audioout_2 wakelocks). I also turned off Google tts which was supposed to cause the problem too.
Does anyone know what Audioout_2 is and how to decrease the number and time of wakelocks?
Thank you very much in advance.
Edit: Running latest PA on latest franco kernel + some grammar corrections
Really? Am I the only one having this problem with a N4.

I've read in a thread that the problem could be the touch sounds, try to deactivate them (touch sound, screen lock sound and keytones) and see if it desappears! (Reboot the phone after disabling those sound, in order to be sure)

I have the same problem. I've disabled touchsounds etc. a long time ago, so that's not the problem.
Really don't know what to do about those wakelocks...

You'll need to wait longer than 3 hours before coming to that sort of conclusion.

Thank you for the answer but that's definitely not the problem as I never ever used touch-, screenlock- or keysounds.

Audio_2, so descriptive...
I have had the same problem with this strange wakelock on my N4 with stock google + franco kernel.
I am not sure when exactly it started to appear, so lets find some commonalities:
Do you have Calendar Snooze ( cannot post links yet ) installed ?

PS (installed CyanogenMod without franco kernel 6 hours ago, lets see if it will reappear)

Nope. But latest "rumor" I heard is that the haptic feedback causes the wakelock too. Turning off sounds is not enough. So I'll try to turn off haptic feedback after next charging too (even though I will miss it)

I'm pretty sure audioout_2 comes up when you are listening to music or watching a video. I've been listening to music on spotify and I get that wakelock normally.

I don't here any music on my phone. Maybe listening to music causes those wakelocks but there must be something else causing it too.

I did not have haptic feedback, which pretty much rules it out for me. I did use music player though (3rd party, not internal one) over bluetooth. But somehow it was appearing when I did not listen to the music too, just drove and phone (wow... feels weird to call it like that) was connected to in-car bt audio
Seems to be haptic feedback. After I turned it off the wakelocks from Audioout_2 almost stayed the same (2 min in 2 hours)

I am glad you have it solved for yourself. I will try to keep an eye on haptic thingy too.
Just a little update: Phone is unplugged for 3 hours now, haptic feedback off, wakelocks caused by Audioout_2 are down to 8 seconds (12 wakelocks). That's a huge improvement.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Last update: 9hrs, 2 min with 63 wakelocks. I guess that's it, problem solved. I'm surprised how fast I got used to not using haptic feedback.

The whole Audioout_2 thing is strange. Some people solved the wakelock problem by uninstalling Viber, some by turning off system sounds only and in my case it obviously was the haptic feedback. I don't get it too but it solved my problem.

Is anyone else experiencing very bad battery life? I use it for five minutes and it drops 5%... Am I doing some
Thing wrong?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Welcome to life of the S4. No youre not doimg anything wrong. The best thing I can suggest is using Juice Defender, and a Task Manager. Turning mobile data off when not in use, screen brightness at about halfway. I can squeez about 20 hours out of this phone with moderate use this way.

You could give the new qualcomm battery app a shot... takes a few days to read your usage then starts adjusting things like app sync times etc to save your battery.
I just started trying it out. Looks promising.

From my personal experience with it, it keeps waking up my phone when it goes into deep sleep. It wastes more battery by constantly waking it than it saves me.

When you restore your phone, are you restoring all the apps? One bad app is all it takes. you should reset to stock, and not install any apps. Then when you see that it runs ok, install one at a time as you test.
Not sure who has lag issues, but my phone rocks. No lag here and battery life is great.
No lag here, at all... My best for battery is 3 days, with 4 and a half hours screen-time...

Keep in mind there are lots of variables at work.
Wifi vs. Cell data - Turn on Wifi and battery usage goes down a LOT - if you are in a wifi area all the time. Cellular data is a battery pig.
Weak signal area - another battery pig - i have had phones drain in 8 hours doing nothing if i had poor reception
Usage mix - Your 2.5 hours of screen time, could be good if you have screen at high brightness and are streaming cellular data (movie) and if you are also syncing email, facebook, and everything else in the background.
If you do all your data by Cellular, then 4 hours of screen time will probably be your limit. It is hard to tell if you have a wake lock issue or not, as we don't know anything else about your usage, apps that are frozen, gestures on/off, etc.

What does the next screen show - when you tap on the graph - it will show screen on time and wake time.
And do you have power save mode on?

My device sat unused for two nights and it only lost 6%.
i lost yesterday about 4% in 14 hours. do this ** settings- wifi - advanced - keep wifi on during sleep - only when plugged in ** you will see huge battery improvement. also you can use greenify app to hibernate apps that wake you tablet during sleep

one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.

Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
It is a Google service and I have disabled location services and Google Now. Does not seem to make a difference. I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. I have the phone set up basically the same apps as my N4 and my Nexus is crushing my G2 in battery life. Any ideas would be great on what is causing this.

Question, when you go to google sync under settings/accounts and sync, does it show that 'sync is not available at this time?'
I wonder if that could be causing it?
I am waiting for my case to make it my daily driver but last night I tinkered and went and set up all my Google apps and changed my Google plus photo to only upload on charger. When I turned it off it was deep sleeping and and that wake lock was no where to be found. If anyone wants to try this and see if it helps.
