google wallet battery drain issue

did a search so if already asked sorry but i didn't find the post..
anyways.. anyone else getting a really fast battery drain after using google wallet?
i i'm on stock but rooted.. loaded the file available for the ns4g and when i open google wallet, everything works and what not.. leave the program either pressing the back button or home.. and after a few hours.. battery drains pretty quick.. look at the battery monitor stat thing.. google wallets always on the top even though i used it once for 1 min... same results even if i turn off the nfc chip in the settings.. basically have the restart and not open up the program and battery is fine..

Same here.

i'll flash to this rom and see how it goes.. should i still clear cache and stuff?? plan on just flashing but still trying to keep programs and contacts etc installed..

Stock 2.3.6 and no battery drain issues. I'm curious if it's stuck polling some resource. If you capture a logcat do you wee any wallet activity? Are you seeing the device wakelocked or waking often?

I had the same issue as well, I'm running stock and unrooted.
I've been wondering peter alfonso's would be a better rom to run btw?

I'm running a kang'd cm nightly with google wallet and sure enough now it says 59% google wallet...

Yea, I had my suspicions it had something to do with CM7. I saw quite a few posts on the interwebz about people having battery troubles with GW and was curious as to why I wasn't having any trouble. Everything was gravy on stock 2.3.5 with the 2.3.7 update, and on my current ROM, Pete's GPA18 Beta.

I was running stock 2.3.7 for a few days and was also running into battery drain issues with Google wallet, where according to the battery use utility it was using upwards of 36% of the battery at the end of the day after simply opening the wallet app, not even after actually using it. There is probably a few bugs in the software as it was just newly released so look for Google making some updates in what I assume will be the near future.

Happened to me too today. I noticed subsequently trying to open it that it didn't want to "unlock" either until a reboot.

Yep, after switching back to GPA18 it works fine.

i ended up flashing to peter's rom.... stock rooted odexed rom.. and now i can open google wallet without battery draining.. i opened it thru one or two times a day the first few days while keeping the nfc chip on.. and without actually purchasing anything.. and no serious battery drain... so for me solution found.. clear cache and such.. then flash to peter's rom.. problem solved

I have the same problem. Here's what I posted in the Google wallet possible fix thread.
Anyone having any battery issues with this? I flashed this last night and I'm down to 45% battery in 7 hours with Google wallet using 52% of my battery and a keep awake time of 4 hours and 34 minutes....
I'm running a fresh install of the latest NSCollab which is based on nightly 212 I believe.

Same here... after update my battery life is gone. Very unhappy as I can't find how to shut it down. My phone had 74% when I went to bed. It drained & shut off before I woke up. 6hrs of sleep for me and the phone died.

Why?
if you dont have this issue, why the F*** do you comment on it saying:
"nope, no issues here."
your not helping at all.. its so pointless. this guy needs help.
Im running 2.3 oxygen, and it just happened to me today, been running the same setup for 2 days now and today it happened. I just tried to force close wallet and cleared the apps data and cache. will post results

Oh, I definitely get your point. I,myself, try to provide a bit more than just a basic "yes" or "no" answer. But that doesn't necessarily mean those that don't are being unhelpful.

I have this problem too. Nexus S - tmobile - oxygen 2.3.
even when wallet is in the apps draining the phone, it seems my battery drains faster now.

Rooted. Getting just under 5 hours per charge.

Naver LINE chat causes battery drain. Anyone else noticed it?

Hi!
I'm using my new Nexus4 for a week and I can't believe that its battery duration is worse than my old Samsung Galaxy SII. Yesterday I looked to the "Battery" in the settings app and I saw that the program spending the most of the battery was Naver LINE chat, a 46%!!!!! I'm not a power-user of LINE (the latest time that I opened it was 4 days ago).
I can't believe it, but I uninstalled the app for testing if the battery drain disappear today.
Anyone else has noticed it?

I did, since the latest update I'm experiencing this too, I'm waiting for an update to fix this

yep definitely one of the biggest wakelock source. I froze it with titanium backup and my battery stats went up significantly.

it happen to me too according to Better Battery Stat app. hope next update will solve this problem

Fine! I'm not mad LOL!
I was asking to my friends with different Android mobiles (SGS2, SGS3, Sony Xperias...) and any of them has noticed it.
Is it possible that some custom ROMs (or maybe some stock ROMs like the Samsung ones) are "fixing" in some way this wakeLock for avoiding battery issues? It's estrange that people with the latest LINE version in Android are not experiencing the issue...

I believe the latest update has fixed this

Unfortunately, not for me
Still using more than 40% on my N4 and my wife's N4 as well.
No way to report this to the developers.

Not to beat a dead horse but I'm curious about this also.
I feel like Line is a huge battery drain and I'm tempted to uninstall it.

BATTERY DRAIN Android Core Apps HELP

My phone gets down to 70% after less than 2 hours. It used to take probably like 3 or 4 hours to get to 70%. But I've also looked at the battery status and it says "Android Core Apps" has used 33% after an hour and 47 minutes on the battery. Look at the screenshot I attached. Please help?!

I haven't had the core apps problem, but I've had play services drain my battery extremely fast. I signed out of my accounts and then readded them. It helped me before maybe it would help you.
Also did you do a dirty flash?

Idk if I wiped cache and dalvic but no I didn't restore anything from tb I restored apps from kies because I got the mf9 update from kies.

I wpuld suggest Backup your apps/data using mybackup. Redownload ROM, go into recovery, wipe /data /cache /dalvic, reflash, and restore apps (apks w/o data I get FCS fro, apk+data) and data. Should fix your battery problem.

I say go odin back to stock mf9 and check whether your phone still gets hot or anything and to let your battery sink in for awhile then root and install your rom. Before doing this back up apps and internal memory since it will wipe it clean.

Okay, and I also forgot to mention when I hold down the home button and it shows recent apps, there's some weird thing called "MIPerractivity" or something like that. I have no idea what that is..

Any help appreciated.

Same, MF9 update from MDL stock, unrooted
I'm having the same issue (coming from MDL stock, unrooted).
Is it the ROM? Is it Google Play? I'm not sure anymore, but i'm severely annoyed.

I had this problem until
I was experiencing the same issue on my phone. note I'm stock and not rooted. Until I updated the samsung apps.
For some reason the samsung app store had an update and was constantly waking my phone for the update, but because I had never agreed to the TOS(becuase I never opened the app) it wouldn't update resulting in battery drain.
I stumbled on the answer in a forum in regards to the G Note II. I was skeptical as to why it wouldn;t show the samsung app as being the culprit(something about using the google services core functions to update), but I know that it worked.
I'm sure an experienced dev can better explain why it shows as android os and not the Samsung app causing the drain.
If you already removed/froze those apps though I suppose you have a different issue.

Just did that and I never opened the "Samsung Apps" app too and just got the update. Hopefully this will fix it (Google Play services drain). Thanks man!

Shut down
Battery out for 30 secs
Restart
Worked for me

You could try a different kernel too. I use AGAT's Kernel. That kernel gives me SO much more battery juice.

Snapchat Update Destroying Battery

Hi all,
Havent seen this post yet.
Just a message that anyone who uses snapchat, DO NOT UPDATE IT MY GOD.
You'll know it's updated when in the stories section has discover integrated into it.
Why you ask?
Well let's just say it's been draining the battery fast. Very fast.
And to add on it is overheating the phone since it is hogging on the CPU as well.
With GSAM my snapchat usage skyrocketed to 50% even though I only opened it once. Despite closing it, its CPU time kept increasing steadily for every second. It only stopped once I went into the task manager and closed it. But as soon as you get a notification of a new snap, it starts to drain again.
The only remedy I found so far is to literally uninstall it and forget about it for now. Tried clearing cache and reinstalling. None of it worked.
There's also an article on this from techradar if my word isn't enough
Just thought I'll let everyone know since this basically ruined my day. Thank god for the spare battery

Uh, battery usage seems about the same to me...
But the battery does drain pretty quickly to begin with anyway

Lucky for you guys :/
On my HTC it lags like crazy, but the drain seems less than my G4. And my G4 is far more efficient than my M7.

It appears to be mostly for G4s that are reporting the drain. Then overall everyone else is complaining about the crappy discover addition and lag. Lucky us again eh

I had the drain too. Went back to the version prior and it's been fine again.

Absolutely, 100% had the same issue. The app would freeze up, wouldn't close, couldn't message through it. And boy it sucked the battery down A LOT and caused overheating, which I never had ANY problem with heating on my Verizon model.
I deleted it. Phone is running fine.
For what its worth, since I installed Snapchat on the LG4 the picture/video quality is total garbage. Video seem to lag or skip when you watch what YOU have sent either on your phone or to your friends; its also highly saturated and pixelated. That has been an issue since day one.

Yeah it definitely doesn't make use of the power of the LG G4. Pictures in low light are actually dark versus the standard app which show it as perfectly fine. Only if they allow 3rd party snap apps again.
Seems like the drain is also occuring for sammy users as well. My friend in the cubicle over is having the same issue, couldnt figure out where it came from until I pointed it out. But my brothers phone is fine, then again he has an extended battery so he wouldnt even notice.

Eww, Snapchat sucks on Android, videos qualities and sound... Third App is better to send pictures and videos, but to watch the snaps I received I still use official Snapchat.

Yap!

I've been using for all today with using my Bluetooth headphones at work battery life seems very good still got 40% left after using it all day so seems decent. No problems here.

No negatives so far during my use. No crashes or bugs that I could find. Battery life the same.

When I installed the update, everything was great. Then I started having Bluetooth audio drops left and right every few minutes. Google Play Music showed that the song was still playing, but my receiver wasn't playing any audio. Just went back to 7.1.1 for now, unless someone has any idea on a quick fix..

I did a clean install of beta 2 and it appears to have fixed my BT turning off on its own with the latest 7.1.1. Seems pretty stable for me.

The Bluetooth issues were solved since beta 1 on 7.1.2.

Guys quick question. If I enroll my Pixel to this beta and install it. Then in the near future an update comes in, will the OTA's title make it easy for me to know if it is another beta or a public release?

Anyone have the OTA zip?

Check your apps, might be some app reducing your battery life and heating the device while running in the background.
