Battery Draining Bug?

I think I've discovered a bug on the X that's causing battery drain.
I installed Spare Parts and saw my phone had been unplugged for about 12 hours and that my phone was been Running (not sleeping) for 100% of that time.
After being methodical and getting data points after opening various programs, I determined that after I opened any program that accessed the GPS, the phone no longer would go into sleep mode.
To get the phone to start sleeping again, all I have to do is toggle GPS off and then back on again.
It's completely reproducible every time on my phone.
Now, I don't know what kind of effect this will have on battery life, but seems like it probably would have some effect.
If others can test this and see if it affect you at all, it'd be helpful to see if there's a potential major software bug here or if it's just something with my phone.
Easiest way to test is to start with a fresh reboot with GPS toggle on, install Spare Parts, plug in the phone for a second (to reset the counters), let it sit sleeping for a few minutes, then read the Running % in Spare Parts. Should be pretty low. Plug in the phone to reset the counters again. Then start Google Maps or any other program that will activate your GPS. Close that program and then let the phone sit idle for a few minutes. Check Spare Parts running time again and, for me, it's pegged at 100%.
It stays like that until I toggle the GPS off or reboot the phone.
Very curious to see if others get the same results.

I'm not trying to flame... but, after 12 hours your phone was unplugged, and still working... battery drain doesn't seem like a huge issue for me based on this information.
I would recommend an app called Tasker. I use it to turn gps off when it's not in use. I open google maps, gps starts. I close maps, gps off. I put my phone into the car mount, bluetooth starts, gps on, pandora on. unplug it, then everything off. I can have the cell radio off at night, but come on every 30 minutes to check for sms, email or whatever. I have Wifi turn on automatically when I get home, based on gps of course, and when I get out of the car, gps turns off and wifi turns on.
It saves a ton of battery for me, and might be something you'd appreciate. I have my phone running on performance mode all the time, and it still lasts all day and has 30+% to spare when I go to sleep. I'm a heavy user. almost 4GB of data this month with no tether.

That's not really the point.
The point is that there's potentially a bug with the phone that's not allowing the phone to go into sleep mode.
Seems like that might be a pretty important thing.

Point blank, the Droid X is one of the only Androids who last more than on day on the same charge! And what you all don't know is that if you use the blk taskbar and services.jar V.8 from teenfaces you will literally double or triple your life!
I have been unplugged for about 7 hrs and still have a sturdy 70%. All this with a normal discharge rate of about 5% every hour! That'd not bad! But then you have ATK set to aggressive... then the batt manager set to smart then cache mate running at full blast clearing caches every half hour. Plus the apps are killed and shut down when te screen ia off! So technically the X is dead till you power it up!
Take a look... I promise many will agree, that is if they did it right and are using V8.

What in the world is services.jar V.8 from teenfaces?
Ok, so then both of you are saying that the fact that the phone doesn't ever go to sleep once the GPS has been activated (even after the program that did so exists), isn't an issue?
Seems to me that you can only further improve battery life by having the phone sleep when it's not being used.
But who am I to argue I guess.

Seems like you dint understand my previous post. There is mod to change the task bar and shade. Like V8 is the latest with the services.jar replacment. Now how this affected my batt life i don't know, but, it did.
Now i see a lil longer batt life than with the original items.

Lol yea. Im gonna head home and try what ur saying. I use tasker for turning wifi on and off for maps and the new google places thing (because most of the time im in buildings) but maybe i should use it for gps too. My friend with the evo has his turned off all the time he says its a huge battery drainer. I say how could that be if it only runs when the icon is up. But this might just explain that as well.
Also other logging programs might keep it awak but this one ur suggesting doesn't i take it. Good to keep in mind. Will update later today

Sorry, I guess I'm lost/confused.
No one really has a concern that this is a potential system problem that's causing excess battery drain?

I do we still don't have an extended battery im very curious to what we can do with the battery life. If this is true id imgine tasker is the way we would go around fixing it. But went we getting 2.2 next week? Maybe that will fix it. Like i said when i get home im going to try what u said when i get home

Just noticed something, I formated my phone just today. (for some reason i had to activate again. is that normal never had to do that with my WM phone when i would put roms on it and stuff)
During setup it asked if i wanted to share anymous location info to google, which i know the fist time i said yes (actually maybe the guy at verizon said yes for me) in any case it says under it something "will anonymously collect your location data even if a location app isn't running"
which could explain why it stays on when the gps is on
if you can go into your system settings and it's on for you try turning it off and see if then leaving the gps switched on will still keep the phone on.

I think that's the option in settings->privacy, which I turned off the other day, so I don't think that's it.

Good find. Seeing the same thing. Repeated your test, and yep, system stays on till gps is bounced.
Certainly doesn't look right. Is it that once satellite fix is established, it's maintained (even if not used)? And on GPS on/off, the fix is lost and the system forgets about GPS till it's actually called?
Next step would be to see how it affects power consumption. Will try to run some more tests later in the day.

Is there an easy way to test power drain? it'll be very interesting to see what effect this is really having.

Unfortunately with the Droid X only showing battery power in 10%, it's not easy to discern small differences without waiting for hours.
I wonder if looking at the voltage would offer more precision. But, not sure how reliable that is. After all, if it was, why wouldn't the 3rd party battery meters use that to show more precise % readings.

You'd actually have to write an event for every single percent in the Android system for anything to detect the battery much more accurately and Motorola is too lazy to do that. Its only gonna show every 10% because thats what Android was programmed to show.

just an update, i said no to google doing it's data mining off my gps. but then i found in location, when i check "use wifi" it asked me again. My guess is thats how they know where you are when you turn on wifi, because if you want that feature you also have to be used in mining data of where the wifipoints are physically located.
So maybe that has something to do with it.

Saw this on Android Central Yesterday.
I can confirm it, when used with fancy widget. When standard weather app is used, no major power drain. Fancy widget seems to pin the GPS and run it hard the entire time.

I would think that if Android had 1% events some app would take advantage of it (there are certainly plenty of battery monitors in Market). But I don't know of any that show anything other than 10%. The HTC phones do 1%, and the battery widgets on HTC phones show likewise. Must be a Motorola implementation limitation.

wierd nexus 4 battery

the battery in my nexus 4 started today to drop from 20% to 13% and 7% and then to nothing in no time, like couple of minutes of use,
the wierd part is that its alsot chragin from 0 to 17% in less then 10 minutes!, whats wrong ? im using battery guru and the main drain is "voice calls" with 51 minutes (i really dont think i talk that much !) and then screen with less then 2 hours!
what can i do to check that?

Try charging your phone fully to 100% and see if it still happens.

Battery still wierd ! :

after 24 hours of device without charge (only 35 min of screen time, very little use !!! ) only 7 % !!

and now my screen aint automaticly turn of

plz it important

If your screen isn't turning off then you have a wakelock, and as for your battery, you play games, browse the web, talk on the phone, and have location services running, along with what looks like some background processes. With all that you still get 2 hours SOT, which is actually good.
Cut back on useless apps, and gimmicks, turn off location services, and maybe play less games, then you can push that SOT up to 3 hours.. maybe.

So nothing wrong with my battery ?
what should i turn off?
i prefer not to turn of location services in case of losing the phone or such

send it back to google and get a replacement. same thing happened to my first nexus 4.. i had it replaced under warranty.

Also seems that you dont have good network coverage, since you're getting the msm hsic wakelock.
Try switching to 2G when you dont use your phone to connect to the internet, or when you got a wifi signal.

Battery Issue With Camera Related Apps

Okay, so I've heard about the battery issues going around with the 6P's but I think I've got one that's a little different. My battery has typically been completely fine. It dies around the usual 0-1% and maybe some times 2-3%. However, whenever I use my camera app or Snapchat (which makes me believe it's related to camera apps specifically) my phone will die if the percentage is about 24% or less. I could be at 20% completely fine, but then go into Snapchat and it'll die a few seconds later. I plug it into the charger and turn it on, and it resumes with the same battery percentage. (If it dies at 20% it'll resume at 20%)
This happened on both marshmallow and on nougat. Has survived countless flashes. I've used custom Roms and have flashed stock over again. Not in attempts to fix the problem, just for fun.
Anyone have any ideas of what's going on or experience something similar?

Experiencing bad battery life, unsure why.

S7 Edge Exynos global version I am using.
So, usually I can get 30 hours on battery but today suddenly my battery dropped 1% every 30 minutes when not using it. I am using Nova Launcher with energy bar running overlay on screen; wifi on; cell on. Anything else isn't on.
Following I have modified:
Developer options: running processes set to no background processes.
WiFi scanning and bluetooth sharing off.
I really want to avoid factory resetting as last resort.
My standby time is usually 1% every 1 hour 19 minutes.
I've even used Greenify to force stop apps when I'm not using my phone.
I will provide screenshots soon.

That's a good idea. Completely drain your phone, then let it charge to 100%. Also, since your phone isn't rooted you might want to steer away from Greenify and just disable the apps you don't use through the phone itself and letting the apps sleep normally.

You are going to have worse battery life than most regardless because you have terrible signal. Your phone is constantly pushing power to the radio just to keep the connection alive. You'd probably gain a ton of battery life just by simply going to 3g or even 2g when you are on WiFi.
If you signal is still this bad where WiFi isn't available you'll have poor battery life compared to most on any phone.

Idle Battery Drain

I've been getting a lot of idle battery drain after only a couple of weeks and it's very disappointing to see. I used GSAM Battery Monitor (after granting the additional permissions via adb) and it looks like my three biggest issues are Phone Services, the OS itself, and Google Play Services. I have attached screenshots below of the information from GSAM.
Anyone experiencing something similar or know of any way to fix this?

My battery is good. Can you go to settings, battery & power saving and take a screenshot of the bottom of the Battery usage screen. It shows what apps are using what, just like the app that you are using but stock android for statistics. Phone idle is using the most for me with 4% followed by Screen with 2%. I have had the phone on battery for 5 hours and 15 minutes from a full charge and still have 90% battery left. I usually end the day with about 60% or 70% battery life remaining.
Also are you using wifi calling? Do you need it? Turning it off might help your battery.
EDIT: also even if call services takes up 16% and you don't have any apps running then you are only using 16% of your battery. I you have 32 apps open using 1% each you are using 32%. From the screenshots it looks like you are using a lot of apps which means a lot of battery drain.

"My battery is good." Doesn't really help me man, mine was good for the first couple weeks I had the phone, but my usage habits haven't changed.
Phone Idle is at 32%, Call Services is at 12%, Screen at 10%, Snapchat at 8%. I use WiFi calling as there is almost no signal at my apartment. When I leave however I turn it off.

Ok, Yeah I was just using my battery as a comparison. Looks like phone idle is eating up a lot of battery and It is probably because you have low signal or because of the wifi calling. Not sure which as I don't use wifi calling. You might want to look at getting a Sprint Magic Box. https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/serv...16=magic box |All&question_box=magic box |All
Only problem is that it isn't out yet so you would have to preorder it. The good news is that it looks like it is going to be free.

Did you figure out any solution to this? I'm having similar performance on my Sprint G6 and not sure how to fix it... All these people reporting 5-6 hours of SOT have me really jealous.

What do you mean, "it helps with the idle battery?" What exactly are you referring to that helps?

I'm having the exact same issue with my sprint g6. Battery was fine until recently. Nothing has changed, no new apps or anything. Adb reports call services draining the most, just like your screenshots. Anyone ever figure out the culprit for this issue?

I haven't figured it out yet, but I really hope someone does. I read somewhere that resetting the phone fixes the issue even in the long term but I don't really want to back up all my data and apps and everything to try it.

Try using iRoot, maybe it can rewrite how your phone uses different apps to save battery.

Anyone have any luck solving this? I'm having the exact same problem with the same phone - Sprint LG G6 and "Call Services" is my primary battery drain.
I don't have particularly low signal - med/high for most of the day and I have wifi calling turned off. I've had this same problem across multiple phones (G5 and G6) as well as across factory resets on both phones. I used to get great battery life with my G5(~85% at the end of the day if I didn't use it much) and then this started happening about a year ago.
Wakelock detector is showing >1000 wakeup triggers from call services - the most by tenfold above everything else.
Seems like it might be related to Sprint/LG since Call Services has mostly LG related processes running on it, but unfortunately that doesn't help me get rid of the battery drain. Any ideas?
