Hey,
I'm running stock nexus 4. I have been having terrible 8 hour battery life with "Android OS" taking up all the battery in battery status. BetterBatteryStats tells me that "sns_perioidic_wakelock" and "sns_async_ev_wakelock" is using up most of the battery. See attached. Any idea what apps are causing this?

I'm pretty sure I've seen those wakelocks when making a lot of phone calls. Seems likely related to cell radio use some how, but that's just a guess.

Actually the crazy thing is that i have airplane mode with wifi on most of the day cause I have really bad service. And I only have 100 minutes of talk, so I never talk on the phone.

Just checked mine and those wakelocks are really low today despite several phone calls, I've been on wifi all day though. The right way to figure those wakelocks out is to download the kernel source from one of the devs github and do some searches through the source to see where those wakelocks are logged. You might also search the battery impression thread in general, some smart folks have dissected many kernel wakelocks in there. Seems weird that you would have them in airplane mode.

I have the exact same issue. Wakelocks/Android OS killing my battery (Android OS usually 45% or higher when it should be my screen that is the biggest battery sucker).
I barely use my phone to make phone calls as well. I'd say 1 call every 2 or 3 days.
Same exact wakelocks here. I made 0 phone calls. There is defiantly something up.
I had these two wakelocks too and it turned out to be my live wallpaper that was causing it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35277041&postcount=20
Same wakelocks on my N4....
Solution in my case, delete widget locker....... My Nexy sleeps again:angel:
exact same situation: N4, sns wakelocks killing battery, phone not deep sleeping. culprit? Shake 'n Rotate! app. so add that one to the blacklist as well!
Are any of you running stock kernel and ROM?

Im Running stock kernal and Rom and i still get sns_periodic_wakelock and sns_async_ev_wakelock Does anyone have any idea what they are or what causes them or how to fix? They seem to be on the whole time my phone is on and they suck battery crazy not as bad as most but my android os is always 2nd battery use to my screen or more depending on how i use it and it sucks cause i know i would have pretty awesome battery life if these were fixed or gone. I appreciate any help!
Apparently you can also add: lightflow vibrate on pickup feature and adding a widget to the lock screen..
PowerManagerService and sns periodic wakelock are my main culprits but I'm not sure these numbers mean there's an issue or not...
I just checked BBS for todays use and I have on 9h use 4h on sns_periodic_wakelock. I have been using DashClock on my lockscreen. I will remove that and post back later to see if that helped.:cyclops:
Hmm can anyone say if this looks problematic?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it does look problematic.
Basically sns_periodic_wakelock kept the device from sleeping for almost three hours.
I have the same issue and don't know what's causing it.
EDIT: Apparently live wallpapers do.
Just writing back to tell you guys how it went. I removed DashClock from my lockscreen and that wakelock seemed to be gone for a few days.
I then later updated the app, and just by updating it, I think it caused the wakelock. This time I'm uninstalling and checking if it comes back again.
Is there a known list of apps suspected of causing this?

I've had dashclock for the past two days.. Not seeing any wake locks. I have all the extensions from the app enabled.
Sns is related to facebook. If you use Titanium backup, go to apps and you can see a blue icon with a letter f on it that looks like facebook letter and labelled sns. Uninstall that and your lovely nexus 4 will enjoy its sleeeeep....
I know that there are several threads about battery life in the General forum, but I decided to create a new one, cause I want this thread to take a different direction, and actually help the owners, which are having problems with kernel wakelocks as me.
So... here it goes. I decided to make a test by using my phone mainly as a PHONE ! From the screenshots you will be able top see exactly what I did with the phone for the last 60 hours. Just to mention that my phone ISN`T ROOTED. Wifi sleep policy set to ALWAYS ; auto brightness ; power saver on except 30 minutes when I wanted a brighter display at direct sunlight ; Auto Sync on BUT - almost everything set to sync off or manual, except weather, gmail (mail and contacts) and one more mail sync using the mail app. Used some internet, made some photos, listened to some music, checked mail after notifications, refreshed blinkfeed couple of times just to go through the smartphone headlines, checked battery usage and software update like 100 times lol - and there are the 2+h of screen on. I don`t use facebook, twitter etc.
And now comes the most important part and the reason I started this thread in the first place. I got like 4 hours of held awake time. In the screenshots provided you can see where these hours exactly came from. I`m absolutely sure that HTC One can manage to achieve like 3 full days of normal phone usage if it wasn`t for those sick wakelocks I`m getting (and I`m sure most of you are getting too). I know all of you have read that "7 hours screen on time" and saw the screens from some guys with 7+ hours screen on. If you pay close attention you will see that their devices worked for more than 10 hours and they got less than 10 minutes of Held Awake time. What I`m trying to figure out is how they achieved such thing.
One more thing I would like to point out if someone decides that 4 hours of held awake time are something normal for a 60h usage. Keep in mind that phone lost 1% per hour while I was asleep, which I don`t think is something normal, cause I read alot that people are loosing like 3-4% for 10 hours during the night (someone even mentioned 1%).
So basically please use this thread to discuss any wakelocks (mainly kernel related) you have and ways to get rid of them. There are alot of threads going on in xda about almost every single wakelock I`m experiencing, but I think the info is different for every phone out there. I tried almost every suggestion, but without any good result.
Here are some screenshots from Gsam Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats, and Battery in Setting.If you like to see a detailed info please use the dropbox link. I won`t discuss every single screenshot I made, but just want to point out two interesting things I noticed. Although facebook app is TOTALLY disabled in my phone, I still have it as a working process that is causing wakelock as you can see in screenshot 13 in dropbox folder. And also I have turned every single option in Maps to off, except first option (Google`s location service) in Settings>Location.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k7reupon5dcy42p/a4VNWyJLGJ
P.S. I`ve heard that with 4.2.2 some things are fixed, or at least not causing so many wakelocks, but we`ll have to wait and see.

disable auto sync on those apps you greenified ...thats all greenify does , (when u put it in deep sleep u cant sync or disable sync on thos apps, apps are auto killed and put to deep sleep) there will be no need to even install it then. there is nothing magical happening. just a another way to fool users.
I've been trying to nail down the maps wakelock which appears to be NetworklocationLocator. It's been driving me mad! I disabled everything in maps but no better. Then I found another setting and I've had a huge improvement since.
Try this:
Settings > Accounts and Sync > Google > Location Settings > Location Access. Now turn off Google's location Service.
This will give you loads more battery and use less data. The downside? The weather location doesn't show current location. I just fix the weather manually to my home town. That's all I need. If I'm passing through Slough on the train I don't need the weather forecast for it! Also in maps it doesn't give you an approx fix, instead just turn on GPS like you would anyway and get the fix.
i really don't see much,if anything, wrong here. You have 5 hours and 50 minutes of awake time, less 2 hours and 10 minutes where the screen was on and another 1 hour and 5 minutes that the phone was active. So in reality you only have about 2.5 hours of time out of 60 where the phone could have been in deep sleep but wasn't.
Out of that 2.5 hours, 1 hour was google talk/hangouts, which you can simply sign out of, and 20 minutes is htc weather updates. That's leaving you with just over an hour out of 60, or about 1.5%, which is excellent.
You could probably do even a bit better by greenifying facebook and maps.
The kernel wakelocks are normal, the phone needs to spend some time keeping the OS running and communicating with the cell towers, i bet everyone will see similar msm_hsic_host usage as long as they have the cell radio running.

I keep mine logged into Google Now; I have the widget on my desktop. I have not seen any battery impact.
To OP:
I see that you are having 2 days of No Data Connection in BatteryStats, as shown below. Is it because you are connected to Wifi all the while instead of connected to the 3G mobile network? And your wifi has been turned on for more than a day. Basically, is 3G that kills battery. Perhaps you can try not to be connected to Wifi and see if the phone can last more than a day?
Thanks!
Every Android user should try Greenify:

Good day to you all,
Recently after a small android update (still having version 4.4.2) I noticed the battery was draining faster than I'm used to. Before that, it was consuming roughly 1% per hour in idle. This has changed now to 3-5% per hour. Looking at the battery info I noticed the Android system was the biggest batterysucker here. Not only that, there are even TWO Android systems shown and I began to think there's something wrong here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2908920&stc=1&d=1408796626
Also looking at the wakelocks shows that my phone is barely able to get into sleepmode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2908921&stc=1&d=1408796626
Before posting this thread I have literally tried every option to see if it could lessen the battery consumption:
- Disabled Google location reporting services
- Disabled GPS
- Disabled Google sync
- Disable Wifi when in Sleep mode
- I don't use Google Now so it's disabled
- Widen the Facebook refresh intervals to 4 hours
- Wiped the cache partition
None of the above worked and I started to think that the second Android system here might be the cause.
Should there be a second Android system consuming battery? What could be the problem here??

Hi mate
This is from the thread :
Q:Why installing BBS as a system app as everything works with root?
A: Starting with Kikat BBS has 3 modes: without root a limited mode provides a minimal set of stats. With root the set of stats is complete but some stats (other, partial wakelocks, processes) still use a workaround. Finally with the system app BBS is fully featured without any workaround.
For this cases root is good to have as it gives you a better access to all the process running , try without root and see what kind of info you get
If it's a conciliation, my android (currently on AOSP) is also running two android systems. Not exactly the same name (Android-System and Android-Besturingssysteem), but you get the idea. You mentioned quite a few things you've already tried, but what about existing widgets and or android apps you've installed? Usually (for me anyway) battery drain is an installed app not exactly behaving nicely.

So does this mean I'm not able to see the exact cause of my wakelocks since my phone isn't rooted?? I have installed Gsam Battery monitor from Google Play, hopefully it will give me (and you guys) the relevant information after keeping my phone on idle for a while.
@Skyrider: The weird thing is that in my case, it DOES display the same name twice. Doesn't that seem weird? I can't see any Android OS (besturingssysteem) displayed.
Also, if I have a battery heavy app, shouldn't it be displayed in the battery info screen as well? I only have the Weather widget and a News widget (NU.nl) on my homescreens. Haven't installed many apps except for Facebook and a few games that barely use background processes.

In my opinion, that's the problem with the default battery information. In my years of experience, it usually never knows the information that you need what exactly is braining the battery. If your battery is still being drained, I suggest to remove most of your apps. Only for a day orso. It should be enough to gather the information to know that at least one of your apps was the cause of it.
It's a pain to do it. But It always has helped me rather than relying on apps of which usually doesn't work out for me.
Also. Might be a good idea to alter your system language from Dutch to English and check the battery info again to search for the duplicate running system on google. You'd expect "Android System" being enough, but who knows that a different language might show a different name.
Ok, I don't have the slightest idea what happened but my battery duration is amazing now. After installing Gsam Battery Monitor and charging my phone to 100% I went to sleep and after 10 hours of standby I looked at my phone and it was on 93%. My phone doesn't consume more than 0,6-1,0% per hour now in the last 3 days!!
I haven't changed anything except choosing to use Wifi and mobile network for location services but not GPS. Weird thing is that I tried that option before without success.
I'm happy now
I'm still confused about the 2 Android systems in my battery info screen though. That might be a good idea to try @Skyrider but I do remember that "Android OS" was displayed differently in Dutch a while back. I'm guessing you have your phone language in Dutch as well since you're seeing "Android Besturingssysteem" on the battery info screen?

Yea, I'm using the Dutch language. But I'm not using the stock ROM of the phone, so hence I am seeing different systems running in the background. But I'm glad the battery is semi-fixed.
Ok, so I changed my phone to English and behold, one of the "Android Systems" indeed changed to "Android OS"
I could have sworn it was like that when my phone was in Dutch.
Perhaps someone with the stock ROM in Dutch could check that out?
No idea if this helps but i thought might as well contribute what it sais on my phone

Thanks a lot for confirming this! I guess Android OS is indeed translated to "System" for Dutch S4's.
Have you tried my suggestions in the opening post?
So after updating facebook and messenger (facebook) I've found huge wakelocks in bbs. Anyone else having this issue? It's related to some kind of bug reporting?

It's causing massive wake time if left alone for a few hours. I went ahead and limited the wakelocks in amplify. Set it to allow them every 10th hour on trial. We'll see if that causes any problem.
I noticed this too. I watch battery like a hawk but this is the first time Facebook had shown much drain in the last few months. This was build still 59.0.0.3.313
Looks like tonight's build still has the issue.
I recommend reporting in the Facebook app itself.

I've disabled them both in amplify. I don't feel I want battery every spent on uploading any form of reports. I've also limited facebook wakelocks apart from this to every 15th minute. It's spending too much battery on something irrelevant.
Reported it already.
Even my fiancee's Galaxy S5 (which can usually get through to the end of the day with 65+% battery left) was saying that her battery has been draining very quickly.
So I know Facebook in general gets a bad reputation, but as someone who watches wakelocks on a daily basis and the battery page, this is really the first instance of Facebook misbehaving in at least 2-3 years.
Anyway, is this something like you guys are seeing? https://imgur.com/a/rpO0j
The background drain isn't TOO Terrible. It's around ~2.5% / hour screen off on LTE (honestly that's what I got on a OnePlus One on Lollipop anyway), while the screen on drain was around 25% / hr
BTW, are you using Facebook/Messenger beta? I'm only in the Facebook beta program, so I don't see any issues for Messenger on my side yet.
are you using Facebook/Messenger beta?
Not using betas. I can't agree regarding facebook and battery life. It'd suppose to use cgm but still it had a heap of timers going off and the app is ever high in wakelock detector. I've had enough and now limited most of its alarms and wakelocks in amplify to no more often than every 15 mins. This has lowered facebooks position in the wakelock list to a much more acceptable level. No problems arise either apart from not getting notifications as expected but that's been a problem for years over multiple handsets.
I can even confirm it, the same wakelocks and drain have been appearing on my OnePlus One too.
I use amplify and prevent wakelocks to everything pertaining to Facebook to 86400s. That's once per day and haven't had any detrimental effects from the app. All still works as it should.

What version of Facebook are you on?
BTW Facebook does use GCM. IT only uses MQTT when you are actively in the Messenger app. I'm not entirely certain what's going on here. The wakelock is com.facebook.bugreporter.scheduler.LollipopService so it seems to be bug reporting related and not notification related.

Oh! Funny thing is, I've limited the mqtt stuff and I've had zero issues getting messages right away when screen is on or off in messenger but thanks to the mods facebook stuff is now farther down on the list of wakelocks rather than high. If those mqtts were only used when active, why use wakelocks for it at all? And why do they creep up in count when the screen is off? 60.0.0.2.76

MQTT is only used when the app is in the foreground meaning its being actively used and screen on. Therefore it shouldn't cause wakelocks. I'm guessing MQTT is used because GCM can see delayed notifications sometimes. MQTT is probably better suited for real time chat.
What wakelock are you seeing? Is it the one I posted earlier? If so I'm not sure if that sure it has anything to do with the actual chatting and communication portion of the app. The wakelock has to do with a bugreporter, which is misbehaving when your screen is off.
I think I know the answer, but no way to help this without root right?
I can confirm, same problem on Nexus 5x (not rooted) latest version of Facebook... Updated this morning, caused wakelocks, uninstalled, problem solved. Shame I have to uninstall it to fix...
I have 60.0.0.5 now... Facebook simply minimizes itself automatically now. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I have greenify on Facebook as well as amplify to limit some wakelock. Might be the cause...
I am seeing this issue as well with com.facebook.bugreporter.scheduler.LollipopService causing massive drain.
I just have Messenger 53.0.0.17.308.
Since I do not want to install Xposed + Amplify to address the issue, is there a way to block this Job? I am digging into MyAndroidTools, but I can't find anything like that in Messenger services or Activities.
EDIT: According to BetterBatteryStats, it's a Service, but I can't find it.
EDIT2: By changing display mode in MyAdroidTools, I was able to find the service, the normal display name is Lollipop Service. However, if disabled, the app does not work properly, closes as soon it's opened.
same here guys!nexus 5 with cm13. huge wakelock with facebook and messenger. I tryed to greenify it but it doesn't work and after few minutes they come back again. I have to hybernate them with SDMaid app and it works well, but of course once hybernate i can't use them anymore until i dishybernate. Any solution?i don't use xposed..:crying:
Confirm this wakelock on 1+1 with CM 13.
Hi,
Is anyone having sensor battery drain issue with WhatsApp?
This during my sleep where the sensor is on 100%.
Not sure how to turn it off.
I excluded WhatsApp in the whitelist for battery monitor.
Wondering if anyone have similar issue.
Yes. I posted this to another thread and got no responses. I wound up uninstalling. There is no reason for this. Their support was useless
Kill the whatsup? Do you really need to get updates while sleeping? Are there any settings, how often program updates? Any program that misbehaves like this gets deleted from my phone: either it's broken/not working properly or it's the way it works, not sure which is worse.
I have this drain, too. BBS says Sensor: invensense Accelerometer(1), wakeup=false, Time: xxh xxm. In another thread someone suggests that this drain is related to the usage of whatsapp web. I use wa web a lot, but the drain continues even if I don't use it and even when I kill and restart whatsapp. Why does wa need the Acceleromter?
edit:
With the latest WA version (2.17.190) the high battery drain doesn't occur anymore. It seems the problem is solved.

Isn't the case for me. I have OnePlus 3T, with the WA version you mentioned above, and I still have this issue.
Bump. Anyone get anything useful from their support?
No help from Whatsapp support. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue. Reset the phone, the issue still persists. I need Whatsapp for my daily work so can't afford to remove it. I hope GSAM/BBS are reporting it correctly. Will have to wait for another update and keeping fingers crossed they solve this bug.
Anything off this? The problem still persist, the app uses the acelerometer like crazy in my moto x style.
I stop caring and just use the phone as it is.
Still getting 6 hrs of sot.
Some apps are using the sensor and I bet if we disable them the battery life will improve.
I dont see the drain anymore. Did you update Whatsapp?
I'm getting the drain atm... phone was at 88% last night.. got up this am and it was 55% and WhatsApp was using 23% above everything else..
I have the same issue...is there anyway to deny permission to whatsapp for sensor usage?
Anyone managed to solve this one? It's really annoying. Thinking about it, the only (reasonable) reason for Whatsapp to use acceletometer would be the camera, right? Since I never use Whatsapp's camera I just disabled the camera service for whatsapp and blocked Whatsapp from using phone's camera in the Privacy Guard settings, will see if that changes anything - so far this seems to be working.
I have the same problem
Still having the same problem...

Put whatsapp to sleep, go to Apps->Special access--> Optimize Battery usage and enable Whatsapp here. Then go to device maintenance, remove it from 'unmonitored apps' if present and add to 'always sleeping' apps. Try this for a day and check BBS for wakelocks. Also you might want to check partial wakelocks when 'screen off' and not 'since charged'. You may miss messages for a day or two but its worth the effort

Then why dont you post on that forum? You may not get answers here.
What did you use to make it all black?
The same problem.
It's look like WA collect my activity data.
Any way to (may be utility) to deny WA use acceleration sensor?
