Possible soluition to fix 60mA: Enable GPS and wait for full sync

Hi friends.
I found the following coincedence.
When I install new build aparently CurrentWindget shows 60mA in stand by and no way to fix it to 5-7mA as it should be.
The solution which helps me to fix it is the following:
- enable GPS module in settings
- open Maps and wait for it to find where you are located
- go back to homescreen and put phone to stand by
It should be fixed now to 5-7mA current.
Hope it will help everyone.

I can even leave GPS module on all the time after that - standby current stays at 5-7mA level.

Very strange, but very cool if it works for you! I will give it a shot next time I see high battery drain. Thanks for sharing, it will help at least one other person if it helps you.

I've also found that switching Bluetooth off, then back on again, fixes this 60mA drain !

Common misconception: leaving GPS enabled in settings doesn't leave the GPS chip on the whole time. It just means that an app can enable it when it needs to (e.g. when you open Maps). As long as there's no GPS icon in your status bar, it doesn't drain *any* battery.
OT: that trick would be way faster than rebooting! Gonna try if it works for me too.

Really strange solution for this issue. I have the same problem but for this moment have drain about 5mA after quick boot with dualbootloader (wait time 3sec for Android load). For this moment 5mA in standby mode - with any enabled comm modules (WiFi,Bluetooth,GPS).

My experince of fixing the problem(temporary) is not using taskkiller too often, but it not always works

Don't ever use your task killer again, it only causes problems.

Tried the above however no sucess..........please check out my post and tell me what you think

Why? I use it a lot...

To solve 60mA problem, each time you want to boot android:
1) when you are in windows mobile, lock the phone and turn the screen off by press end call button
2) wait few seconds and press it again to turn on screen
3) you see lock screen, unlock your phone
4) after that boot your android quickly within 10 seconds! (you can do it by creat shortcut of android on your home sceen)
I test it and solve problem for me on both mccm and mdeejay builds!

It was discussed hunderd of times. You dont need to free up mem in android 2.x
It has already a memory management built inside.
The only reason to use a task killer is to close an app that hangs or not properly close itself.
If you continue to kill your processes and backround apps just to free up ram, you will definitively drain more battery becaouse some of that apps will just load again automatically from SD or, when you open again one of them, it needs to load again from SD.

Exactly. And apps not closing properly is still not an excuse for using it. If the app is bad uninstall it or mail the dev to fixit, but don't go around screwing stuff up with a task killer.

Autokiller on agressive,and a taskkiller....never troubles with drain etc

Or everyone check my signiture for my thread on battery drain solution

I think the OP is really onto something here. I tried this trick & my drain has gone from a steady 55-65mA down to around 5. I'm impressed!

Just one question, those of you that having issues with battery drain what WM do u use? I've recently had a problem on my HD2 (no USB) and i installed a stock ROM. Before i had the VBN Droid Reloaded 2 and with Mdeejay kernel current widget never showed me values above 300mA (witch i believe i only saw that value 1 time). Usually i'd get from 1-2mA to 250mA tops. Now i'll never go below 60mA and i've seen the record of 600mA. Today it drain me from 95% to 35% in about 2 hours. A bit too much for my taste...

I always find if you boot Android with Win Mo fully booted, it's over 60mA, but if I use Exceller Dual Boot to boot Android before Win Mo has finished loading, then it's 5-6mA.

Yea man task_killer - problem

Everything is working for me fine, i am using futureShocks MIUI build, the only thing is when i switch on bluetooth, my battery drain is about 60-80 mAh without bluetooth i have 3-6 mAh... no task killer, no setcpu, with other builds like mdeejays sense roms this problem is not !?
Everyone an idea how to solve the problem ?

Get Maximum Battery Out of Stock JellyBean ROM (plus fix Media draining much battery)

Personally have been experiencing HUGE challenges regarding battery life of JB. and i have searched and searched, complained and complained in many xda threads. But in the end, i think this method is the best I figured out and it works pretty well!
I discovered the main cause of battery drain on JB is the 'Media Scanner'. I dont know exactly what the issue is, but it DRAINS your battery! I thought it was a corrupt file in my phone that was causing Media scanner to get stuck and scan for loong periods instead of 2 - 3 minutes which it should take regularly. (btw media scanner is launched every time you restart your mobo or make changes to your media files as far as i know). I formatted both my Internal and External SDs but it still didnt help. Now use the following Steps below to solve these issues.
1. Download Media scanner ROOT.
This app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&hl=en
2. Download Media scanner also
This one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
3. Always set 'Power saving' option on phone on. I can assure you that you'll hardly notice the difference in performance when you turn on power saving.
Having said that, if you want more brightness, you can increase from toggle or just tick auto by the side of brightness level settings right there in your notification bar.
Also, if you need to game or use heavy app that require alot of system resources, just turn off power saving.(Because power saving slows down your processors Maximum state from 1200MHz or 1.2GHz to 800MHz.)
How to use the apps mentioned in numbers 1 and 2.
First one is to stop it (Media scanner) from ever scanning. So open that one with ROOT at the end of the name (Grant SU prompt), then hit disable media scanner button wait for it to work. Just one or two seconds.
Sometimes you might open your gallery and notice a file is missing or you might not see even a single picture or vid in it.
ONLY NOW! can you open the second app dat DOESN'T contain ROOT at the end of its name.
Just open it and then hit the back button to close. thats all!
What this does if to call the media scanner you disabled earlier with first app so it can scan your SD Cards and your gallery will display your files.
You can read the application descriptions on Play store for better understanding.
If you notice that these steps still doesn't help you with your battery drain issue, try disabling Motions and Animations in debugging options too. Both in settings. Then test battery again and see how good it works.
IMPORTANT: You also want to change PhilZ recovery Backup format from .dup to .tar as this might be the reason why Media scanner goes crazy. How to - Reboot into recovery, select Backup and restore, then select 'Choose backup format', then hit tar. Now delete all previous backups done in .dup format and then hit 'Free Unused backup Data' or go into phone, delete the folders of the backups done in .dup and then delete evreything in blobs folder. Now do a fresh Nandroid which will now be in .tar format. ( Always Have a Nandroid backup on your phone , it can come in handy! )
REMEMBER: What works for one person, might not exactly work for everyone. We don't have 100% same hardware. . So take it easy while throwing your shots at me. I just decided to share this.
I hope this helps some solve their battery issue.
Please hit thanks if this helps you.

Attached screenshots of my test from steps in first post.
ROM! is The SWEET SMOOTH NEAT ROM LITE v4.0
Here are the details of the screenshots i attached to this post, just incase you can't go through all of them.
1. Battery at 97%.
98% (3:05:20) deep sleep after 3h:08m:49s (total time on batt3)
2. Battery at 95%
97% (5:58:26) deep sleep after 6h:07m:18s (total time on batt3)
Had major whatsapp activity in the backgroud (I always have )
3. Battery at 70% - 12:59pm
Screen time - 2h 4m 10s
4. Battery at 50% - 2:30pm
Screen time - 3h 17m 38s
5. Battery at 40% - 3:06pm
Screen time - 3h 53m 12s
6. Battery at 30% - 3:48pm
Screen time - 4h 33m 27s
7. Battery at 20% - 4:27pm
Screen time - 5h 12m 20s
8. Battery at 10% - 5:03pm
Screen time - 5h 48m 21s
9. Battery at 1% - 5:31pm
Screen time - 6h 15m 19s
Also to achieve this, i had all bloatware frozen (full list in my S2 Facebook group - Link in my signature)
Turned Off Sync, and motion (really dont know if this affected result since i guess you need to use the motion,
for it to use up your battery).
Anyways, having said all these, i had running in background, facebook messenger, whatsapp, email pushing hourly,
Instagram. Did some surfing using Opera mini from time to time, Watched Videos... and some other stuff i cant remember of course.

The fact that Power Saving does not slow down the phone like older builds is strange.
I don't even know if it works that well yet.
I mean, I used Power Saving on my friends S3 and the phone got really slow.

Its normal for your mobile to get hot using 3G. But wat you can do right now is use lowest brightness possible. And flashing a different modem can solve. Did in ICS.

Yup, when i first tried my friend S3 i was amazed at how slow it got if you turned on this option, doesn't happen in s2 JB which is strange, however i will try this 3 things to see if battery life does increase.

I don't know why you guys have this media scanner problem. My battery life with LSJ (NeatROM Lite) is the best I have ever seen on SGS2, (best screen-on time + call time, and it sleeps like a baby) and media scanner isn't showing in BBS, at least not frequently. Maybe you all are using .dup format for CWM backups? It's the default on Philz kernel (at least it was), but I changed that in recovery options to .tar.

Pilgrim bro, you have a very good point there bro. Maybe i should look into this and change my recovery option to tar also... But anyways, the steps in the first post fixes the issue.

Is it possible to use voltage control app to limit max processor signal to 800mhz, and save more battery?

Not sure what people are complaining about?
I've stripped alot, and i mean alot of APK's from the system folder. Had around 6 hours screen time, and around 1 day 3 hours uptime on first cycle.
No wakelocks, nothing. Best ROM i've used in a long time!

After disabling media scanner my music player and video player doesnt show any files.. and the ringtones are set to default samsung tones instead of what i hav set..
any solution for that ???/

+1. What is the most important thing - disable Google Now, change dup to tar, delete backups created in dup (they are causing media scanners to go wild), disable motion, disable smart stay and that's it, more or less.

Just pop open the app named Rescan Media ROOT. wait like ten seconds after opening, then hit Disable media scanner. hit back button once to close app. And ur stuffs will be back in place.

[Tips]How to get a sexy battery life.

Ayo mates.
So who doesn't have battery problems? Probably everyone has. Even if you don't you'd want more ? huh ?
So after owning the phone for almost 3 months I had serious variations in battery life from 10 hours screen on to 7 hours screen on (*cough* 4.1.2) and back to 10 hours with xxdmb6 (YEAH!)
Also the screen off consumption.
So I am gonna talk about wakelocks in this thread. So what can use battery when you aren't using your phone... can also use the battery when you are using it. So fixes or possible fixes should improve the total battery life as well.
This thread is divided into 3 parts - basic tips , wakelock fixes and advanced fixes.
Install BetterBatteryStats. This is gonna monitor the wakelocks and the elements that drain the battery.
Tip 1 - (Install CurrentWidget) If you keep charging the battery even after it has reached 100% you will see that the battery continues to accept charge. This is true. If you charge the battery till it stops accepting power(by monitoring it through currentwidget) you will see that 100% lasts for a long time. i mean that suppose your phone uses 1% battery per 10 minutes, now if you just unplug and start using the phone, it will stay at 100% for a long time.
But this may even damage your battery. I am not sure. I do it considering how much technology has advanced.
Tip 2 - So from wanam's thread -
wanam said:
Disable auto sync for accounts if you don't need it
Disable GPS (and wifi gps) when not in use
Disable auto backup of Google account
Set brightness level to automatic
Disable motion if you don't use it
Check your apps settings and disable useless background sync
Disable useless animations

List of general Wakelocks -
PowerManagerService - It is a sum up of partial wakelocks.
MultiPDP - This indicates a high network usage(2g/3g/4g).
AlarmManager -
AlarmManager provides access to the system alarm services. These allow you to schedule an application to be run at some point in the future. When an alarm goes off, the Intent that had been registered for it is broadcast by the system, automatically starting the target application if it is not already running. Registered alarms are retained while the device is asleep (and can optionally wake the device up if they go off during that time), but will be cleared if it is turned off and rebooted. The Alarm Manager holds a CPU wake lock as long as the alarm receiver's onReceive() method is executing. This guarantees that the phone will not sleep until you have finished handling the broadcast.

These are the findings of asksven, so have been quoted. So it is a sum up of different wakelocks again
AudioOut_2 - When apps run in the background that use sounds, this wakelock is always there.
deleted_wake_locks - A wakelock that is no more, generally when you turn wifi or data or gps on and off. But it still reflects wifi wakelock. You can sum it up as a wifi wakelock and some other wakelocks.
network-location - This is a gps wakelock.
wlan_rx - Wifi wakelock
wlan_wake - Wifi wakelock
mediaserver - when something uses media files or may even when you play heavy games like real racing 3 which uses data on internal sd card
l2_hsic - A possible explanation is unplugging the charger while phone is asleep.
I have attached a pic. You can see the difference

Wakelock Fixes
AudioOut_2 - AudioOut_2 is a major wakelock on many devices. The solution is simple. Before turning the screen off. remove all recent apps and in task manager , go to ram tab and hit clear memory. Then close task manager and swipe it away from recent apps as well. Then lock the phone. Alternatively you can download advanced task killer. (Viber seems to cause this on many devices.)
MediaServer - Flash the attached fix via a custom recovery. Someone posted this and said that he got from alliance rom ota app. I asked the Dev and he said that I can use it but it may cause a boot loop. So keep nandroid a ready. Credits go to comnam90.
Other fixes could be to download Rescan Media Root. This app fixes wakelock but it might still come up sometime.
If you are comfortable with decompiling try this.
l2_hsic - This wakelock is incorrigible. But possible fixes are in thread. I will jot down what works for me.
NetworkLocation/SignalCollector Hierarchy - Many wakelocks happen due to this maps app. This is because maps app try to update the location of the device. Modify the settings according to the image attached. But better is to disable all location services. This will also decrease AlarmManager wakelock.
But if you really don't use maps then best is to Freeze local app, maps app, navigation app. This wouldn't harm the phone as they can also be downloaded from play store which means android os can cope without it.
Processes - There are many user apps which are a necessity but eat up the battery. We can't freeze it nor uninstall it due to the need. What can we do about 'em ? This is where Greenify comes in. Don't let the uber simple UI fool you. The app is simple and self explanatory. I have greenified almost all the apps and this app doesn't eat up your battery !
I will be adding more as I find more...

Advanced Fixes
These aren't very advanced if you know what you are doing.
Try another kernel. (like perseus, uneak, redpill). I find almost similar results but it may vary as we move to the next parts
Undervolt(CPU). Believe me it will help. You should start off by reducing each voltage by 25m for each step. This requires a custom kernel and a compatible app. STweaks for redpill or perseus or uNeak Engine for uneak kernel.
Do stress tests after reducing value. It is recommended not to go below 800mV.

Thanks!
One of the best things I did to save battery is to remove Facebook and Viber.
Now I'm trying to Greenify Facebook. I hope it will not do any wake locks.

Nice article Utkarsh.
Those are general wakelocks, but there are others as well, like in the attached pic.

Well you gotta try hampering with update settings. I am a student and not in business so email delay is not gonna hurt me at all.
It would hurt business men(that's what I derive of you) or someone whose most work is done through mails.

Nice thread, but I'd like to chime in that wakelocks aren't necessarily an absolute evil. You will always have some wakelocks, and it's supposed to be that way. Network, wifi, location services and some apps won't work properly without being able to wake the phone from time to time. It's when these wakelocks sum up to a considerable ratio of your uptime that you should begin to worry.
Might I also suggest you add greenify to your list of countermeasures.

Hi, just one question, why not go below 900mV? Is there any reason for that? I´ve got my Note 2 uVd to these values (762, 775, 800, 825, 850, 875, 925, 950, 1000, 1050, 1075, 1125, 1150, 1175, 1250) for the frequencies from 200Mhz to 1600Mhz, I don´t think it wil harm it as I´ve been running these settings with RedPill Kernel and STweaks app for a couple of months now and I haven´t had any freezes at all or any issues, could you explain why it´s not recommended to go below 900mV? Is it just for the different tolerance to uV every chip has? Thank you anyway for your marvelous post and for the greenify app, looks promising, I´ll report how it goes since I´ve just started using it today, thanks.

Audio out 2 for me has been causing an annoying battery drain. Turns out viber is causing it for me. Yesterday it was the best part of two hours.
Today I quarantined viber and my audio out 2 dropped to 6 seconds after the phone being on for 6 hours. Half an hour ago I re started viber and my wakelock now reads 22 minutes. So I have now uninstalled viber.
How this info helps others.

*Guide* : Better battery life on htc one [Updated]

Just want to add on here for more battery saving tips
Guys I may have found an easy way to curb Google play services or any other spyware app to stop them from doing things like Access location or mobile networks which may further wreck yr battery life There are 2 guides here , Guide 1 (maybe redundant) and guide 2[updated] . if u think one of these guides works better than the other in yr bbs or gsam results, u want to use just only or a combination of both
App: Guide 1(maybe redundant)
LBE security master ( english translation is xposed module, so install that first)
Install and open the app
Go to permissions , Google play services all permissions , location and choose block or prompt
U can do this for WiFi and 3g too
I can also set all apps to prompt this way u know which apps want to access what when not opened . And deny them when they are running in the background . Also u will know if Some apps will access eg. Location when opened .. as o fnow i have made all apps to prompt mode so i can identify which app is running wild,. So far none
this part here may significantly save battery
first get this app : disable service
choose google play services and untick
analystics service
checkin service
NLPlocationreceiverservice
google location service
dispatching service
2) Then using app system tuner
go to google play services - receivers
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkin.checkinservices$tSecretCodeReceiver
checkin.eventlogservices$receiver
update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
loginservice.migrateToAccountmanagerBroadcastRecei ver
*After this u wil only see GCM service runing in settings-apps -running
yr apps should work fine using battery saving location type
3) Disable Google syncing , u tick individual items in settings - accounts and sync - yr Google account
4) get greenify paid version
Tick wakeup timer colescaling in experimental features
Update:Guide 2 . this guide here may do all a of the above in a better way
1) install paid version Greenify and latest xposed
2) go to experimental setings and tick "reveal hidden sync"
3) go to phone settings , autosync, clik on yr google account and u will see new options with a *.Now can choose watever u want to be disabled
4) Also u can do the same for Facebook app or any other app with * entries . . U don't need Facebook acting independently . BlinkFeed will update for u the feeds
5) use Disable Service app from the Play store to disable:
Google Play Services
com.google.android.location.reporting.service.Repo rtingSyncService
(ReportingSyncService)
Google Services Framework
com.google.android.gsf.subscribedfeeds.SubscribedF eedsSyncAdapterService
(SubscribedFeedsSyncAdapterService)
here is the screenshot in phone settings for google and facebook example

For what's app I don't think so .
Lbe security English translation is an xposed module . Look for it in the exposed download section

battery goes down while sleeping

well i think something else is drainign yr vbattery u need to check for kernel wakelocks and apps which have in built in ads constantly pulling data
anyway LBE security has option to block all ads in apps. look for that section and do that
and also in LBE security under 'location: main section put all apps to prompt and see which one is doing something when u never opened it

ok thanks!I shall do all that. .but after having done everything else my battery life should have improved atleast a little right. .that too being in deep sleep for 98%. .i checked the partial wakelocks and they dont seem to be many. .anyways if you want any other battery stats from my phone that can help you better analyze the issue then i can do that also. .thanks again!

does GPS in Apps and Google+ Location Sharing work properly after doing this`?

i tested only google maps and it works , not sure about google + as i dont use it
re-enable the google location manager service if something does not work. I think this service controls the settings- location where u choose the 3 different gps options
edited my first post to reflect this

just realised that yours could be a batery calibration problem ( if on custom kernel )
what rom are u using and the version ? all i know is that some roms/ kernels have a battery bug reporting problem or they have not adjusted to the battery cycle. try to recalibrate the battery . u dnt have to full charge it and drain to zero, just drain to zero a few times around 3x . see how that goes .

Oh yeah i had the same doubt. .im running paranoid android 4.6 beta and stock kernel. .im doing the calibration now.thanks!Il do that and let you know

Well my battery drains 1.2% per hour when idle.. I'm running Google edition with elemental kernel.. Downclocked to 1.5 GHz and undervolted a little too.. WiFi is always on!
Btw the best I can achieve is 0.8% idle but that's on 1.2 GHz and it's not worth it, things feel kind of slow!
I haven't tested the suggested tweaks, maybe sometime.

Better battery life especially during standby or when screen is off
Hi Lewonsky!
Since you seem to know a lot about achieving a better battery life i thought i would take your help if you dont mind.i decided to try out the HTC extreme power saver mode last night since its supposed to disable all syncing of background data and save a lot of battery.And i'm not sure where the problem lies here but it seems to be even more worse with the extreme power saver mode turned on.It's lost 17% during the 8.5 hours i was asleep and for the entire time it was on extreme power saver mode only. .Ive even attached a screenshot below where it indicates that it was in deep sleep for 99% of that time. .taking this into consideration is it really supposed to lose so much battery overnight on extreme power saver mode?any help would be really appreciated thanks!Im on viperone 7.0.1 and stock kernel.I also tried draining my battery to 0% a couple of times as you advised me to calibrate battery. .If you have any other advice or suggestions on how to get a better battery life especially during standby or when screen is off it would be great. .i already am planning to follow that you have mentioned in a couple of threads of yours regarding this. .Thanks again for all the help!

I have noticed the extreme power saver is buggy in 4.4.3 Rom . At times it didn't turn off the data . So I have reverted to 4.4.2 5.11.661.8 Rom . This is the only version according to me in which extreme power saver node works correctly .
Try reflashing the firmware

sometiems rom and firmware xcombination may cause problems but very rarely unless there is a bug with the firmware released by HTC
the battery i think uneed to input some codes in the dialer it will shhow u battery health .
anyway not sure how reliable is that.
try to change roms and see if the battery still behaves that way.

I don't know. But try to use the firmware Intended for yr device like 6.13.707.1 . I just flashed it. Avoid the European firmware,, in my opinion it doesn't work well on Asian devices and causes a bit of battery drain.

My Yotaphone 2 Doesn't Sleep Well

Hi guys,
My phone is having sleeping problems. He's just not relaxed and is constantly bothered by something and this tension keeps waking him up many times, even though he is supposed to rest! I've tried my best to give him the right conditions - no Wi-Fi, no BT, full Airplain Mode, yet it is simply not enough.
I attach some images to make it clear.
[edit: why is Google Play Services doing all that? Could they just stop messing up with my hardware - GPS, CPU and so on?]
YD-206 with software for 201
root
TWRP
Xposed - Greenify
NovaLauncher
Nothing special
Is there any hope?
Thanks

Absolutely the same problems on my YD-201 6.0.1 with the same configurations (TWRP, Xposed, Greenify, NovaLauncher + Stock Battery Optimization). Besides, my wifi cannot be disabled, it is always active whatever i try. It is always on search mode even it is disabled. Hey, how do you get the dark theme for stock settings menu? And is your Battery Optimization Settings active?

Android Version?
What's the android version do you have? Lollipop or Marahmallow, i have YD206 with YD201 software, it has some issues with lolli and others with Marsh.
Do you have the hybrid Radio? The european or the chinese? If you dont even know then i suggest you to install the hybrid radio, it solves problems with the battery drain and the warm issues (yota hell xD).
I dont use greenify, i just use the freezing mode from titanium backup.

An update: THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER [after installing Better Wifi on/off (read below)]
1. I'm using Greenify and have hibernated many applications - this might be one of the solutions to the Wi-Fi usage. (See attached zip file for which apps are hibernated)
2. I installed an app called Better Wifi on/off version 2.1.0.0 from Google Play Store and have set the rules how to turn on/off (See also attached zip file for the exact set-up).
3. The Wifi sometimes appear to be ON on Battery Usage Graphic, but actual battery consumption is not noticed. The the normal consumption for 'Phone idle' is about 3-4% per day (around 120 mA). This would suggest that the phone will be able to last around 20 days if totally idle.
4. BLUETOOTH BUG - somewhere in this forum I read that after connecting the phone via Bluetooth to some external gadget (in my case UE Roll 2 music box), even after disconnecting, the Bluetooth causes Wakelock and this dramatically drains the battery!!! (See screenshot) The solution is Restart of the phone. On the Battery graphic you can clearly see the drain from Awake and after that I did a Restart and let the phone stay idle - the usage dropped immediately!
5. I'm using stock Battery Optimization
6. [OFF-TOPIC] To make background color for menus dark I use projekt.substratum_490_minAPI23.com.apk (attached to the post) and after installing it, I downloaded the theme InversionUI from Google Play Store. (I can't stand white/bright colors on my screen, especially at night, and knowing what it does to my battery since I'm on AMOLED display).
