Jelly bean 4.1.1 "Awake time": Phone awake too often while screen off.

Hi Guys any tip to reduce the "Awake time" I think it is killing the battery.
Usage 33m voice calls, 1hr screen time, a few minutes gps.

Now comparing this to my Galaxy Nexus, You can see that the phone is not awake that much, and has better battery life..
Same OS 4.1.1 stock.
GPS on, Location service on, 3G, Data, auto sync On. BT off. Wifi ON, NFC removed, rotation Off, G+ removed, Talk removed. on both
Googlenow removed also
Same Nexus S with Gingerbread was often reaching the 3 days battery life
Thanks

airplane mode
use battery stats app

Phone process keeps the phone awake with a wakelock, tried everything almost. Went from JellyBelly to stock ROM, disabled BLN, different kernel (stock) and it's still happening. Don't want to over react here, but it seems like a JB thing.
In your case, you maybe have Latitude on.

Maps may mean Google now is running. Double check for the Maps issue.

Thanks guys I'm going to check the Latitude issue, I'm almost sure it is off, but will check when I see the phone at home.
Google now is also removed since day 1, (saving a bit of battery).

As suggested earlier, the app called 'betterbatterystats' may reveal more details about what's keeping your phone awake.

Thanks for the suggestion, I installed the app and Google maps was doing a lot of stuff.
I checked Settings\Accounts\google\maps and lattitude and turned off location reporting (didn't know it was on) I'll see if this helps.
It has automatic check ins on also but it is just not turning off (uncheck won't stick), hopefully it doesn't affect battery life and I don't have any saved places to check in.

Fwiw mine is also awake far more than screen on compared to my galaxy nexus. They are set up identically too (apps, widgets, etc.). I just figured it's a jelly bean thing on the ns. I still get pretty good battery life.
Do other people have the screen on time more closely matching the awake time on their ns?
Only got one Gmail account syncing and no Google+, no Facebook, and Google now disabled. Stock unrooted 4.1.1.

Wakelock hell

I've had my Note 4 for 3 days now and I'm noticing pretty average battery life.
http://imgur.com/a/QbUEI
http://imgur.com/uuJk9W1
I'm getting 3.5 hours of SoT in a good signal area, using WiFi for the majority of the day on 3G.
If you look at the screenshots, you can see suspiciously high battery usage by Android System, Google Play Services and Android OS.
I used the PC version of wakelock detector

As you can see, NlpCollectorWakelock is constantly wakelocking my device and seems to be ruining my battery life.
I have no interest in rooting my device in order to manually disable the wakelock. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to improve battery life or to reduce these wakelocks?

That is a bit strange, as I see excellent screen time. Just received my Exynos variant yesterday, and on the first full charge I am now at 41% battery with 5h SoT... Connected to WiFi all the time and Auto brightness.

Hmm...

I can only suggest to go into the settings and disable what you can - i.e.: Play Store auto-update off, etc. I don't think I have ever seen GP using that much; but I am only just coming back to Android with the N4 (Lumia 1520).

Clear data in Google framework services then reboot.

What's the logic behind that in regards to these wakelocks?

I'm also experiencing massive wakelocks now, mostly coming form Android OS. My Note 2 drained 1% in the past 4 hours, my note 4 is down to under 80% with the same use...

hi
i have taken note that you stated that you have no intrest in rooting!!
i would suggest to understand the "workings" of certain wakelocks eg .. NlpWakeLock ,is to read up about it !!
i suggest you read this thread post 1 by the dev cryptyk, re the " reason " NlpWakeLock occur etc etc
link below re
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-nlpunbounce-reduce-nlp-wakelocks-t2853874
i quote from his post # 1 ( halway down his post he gives explanation )
it might help you to understand the inner working of Android ??
....................................................................................................................................
Why is Play Services such a battery killer:
1) If Google Location Services are turned on, it sets an alarm to wakeup every 60 seconds, check the network location, and broadcast ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR.
2) Everytime ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR fires, Google Search receives the broadcast and grabs an NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock.
.......................................................................................................
Plse also note the "key" to this wakelock is ................
Google Location Services ,is yours turn on by you or by mistake .?
Just to note i am rooted ,have this xpose module Unbounce to control wakelock , but don't use it/
not enabled ,as my Google Location Services is turned off .( Check your Google setting ( you can do this without root )
this should reduce wakeups of this ... NlpWakeLock from waking up
good luck

I'm having much the same problem as this!
Currently only getting around 2(!) hours of screen on time during the day, before the battery is getting to 10 or 20% after around 15 hours off charge. I know the device can, and should be better than this!
When taking a look at the wakelocks today it's Android OS keeping the phone awake mostly. But over the last day, the device has been awake for 59% of the time, crazy!
Will try turning off location services tomorrow and see if that's any better. I'd rather not have to do that though, I shouldn't really need to!

Just uninstall updates from Google Play Store, then open the app again. Should do the trick.

N910F, "Android OS" battery drain - can't determine the cause

This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts

Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?

I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...

Can't root Verizon unfortunately

Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.

Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.

Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

I can't think of a reason it would do this... I feel like an iphone owner

Ironically I see no difference in battery life.... Hahaha. But driving me nuts.
I get through entire day... About 3.5 screen hours on. At 7pm I'm at 20% typically. Maybe that's bad?

I'm usually around 40%. but maybe our app-age is different.

I've updated the Google Play Services to the new version 7.0.87 and this issue seems to have gone.

S6 Edge+ Overheating? (And battery issue)

Hi, on my s6 edge+ the temperature stated by HW Monitor says 55C (131F) , and sometimes rises to 70C (158F) then drops back to 55C (131F) or 45C (113F). I got it from Dubai and I am using it in the UK. It is the G928C model. Is this normal/is anyone else having this issue? Should I try factory resetting it and erasing all data?
Also the second problem is that I feel the battery runs out quick! Does anyone else feel like this? It only lasts about 14-15 hours from full 100% charge to empty battery. And I'm only using apps such as youtube, instagram, messenger, facebook.

Never had heating issues even after intensive gaming. However, if you're using apps like youtube or gaming during charging, I'm sure the temperature would considerably go up . Also, apps like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are actually pretty heavy. They stream a lot of data over the network and would definitely affect your battery life.
Try turning on the Power Saving mode, I'm sure that would help a lot. In my phone (AT&T), I get 6 hours of screen on time and upto 24 hrs of usage (withing 6 hrs screen on) very easily even with wifi & data turned ON all the time.

Hi, sometimes the phone is a bit unresponsive as well. For example, when turning it on after locking it, there is a long delay and then when i click the lock button again the screen flashes because the lock button has been clicked twice (wake then lock)

This is the time when you should rush back to your retailer and get it exchanged!
"Edge+ and lag associated together" isn't something I have seen on my handset yet, no matter what application I have used even with the Battery Saving mode turned on.

I can't exactly do that. I got it from Dubai. The lag isn't when using the phone. It was just unlocking it but it seems fine now.

Same here. I also can get good SoT but android system take's all the juice if screen is turned off.

I have the similar drain too. Using Oos 4.5.3 I'm trying to figure it out.

If you're using ExperienceOS, this issue is fixed in the latest 4.0 build

Go root and get a wakelock detector and see what is actually draining your system.

Of course you can flash a ROM lol. Another option is the very well know BetterBatteryStats. Which has built in wakelock detector monitoring as well as a slew of other battery monitoring functions.

Actually i tried to boot to safe mode and checked if that works. I was able to put it to sleep, so im just trying to figure which app is causing the wakelock.

Try to clean cache and dalvik in recovery and might be re-flash your OS.
Mine, rooted on stock OxygenOS 4.5.3 loosing 0.3% per hour over night when phone is idle (on LTE always, I have a good signal, also no GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi scan etc.).
PS: Android will try to "report" back to mother-ship time to time and if there is bad connectivity it might get stack in re-try loop eating to the battery. Unless you are in airplane mode then it should stop... but I would not count on that.

When you root there is an app called wakelock detector free. Works great.

This looks promising.

I'm going fairly strong myself

I've seen this happen on every phone I've had in there last 5 years. Factory reset it.
