Constantly Awake

Hi Guys,
I flashed the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware (N910FXXU1BOC3) last week to my N910F Note 4.
Everything has been working okay. Until yesterday where the phone is constantly awake.
I have uninstalled all 3rd party apps and booted into safe mode yet it still shows as constantly awake in the power saving settings section.
I have tried using airplane mode, removing the battery for 10 minutes . Restarting multiple times to no avail......
Does Anyone have any suggestions?

Reflash the firmware again and do a full set up as if it was a brand new device.

I shall try that when I get home. I restored my phone from a backup after I originally flashed 5.0.1.
This time I shall keep it as a fresh firmware flash.

hi ,
your above post reminds me of my experience recently,with........BOC3
i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to BOB4 lollipop ( dirty flash ,no wipe, no factory reset ,
no problems at all .My device was running smooth ,no errors etc. battery ok .)
Flashed fom BOB4 to BOC3, i resetted my device etc .root recovery etc .
for a while everything was running fine,after a few days ,i started to have a bad wakelock .
Device was awake most of the time .
Lucky i was able to id/pinpoint culprit with" BetterBatteryStats " and Gsam battery monitor .
It was a system process something with....... Samsung security Filezip log..?
As i had an old app on hand "DisableService"( root ) and traced the process and unticked 3 relevant processes ( lucky guess ? ) and my wakelock is solved .Battery usage much better etc
BOC3 is just as good and stable as my previous v4.4.4 and BOB4...!!
So sometimes dirty flash works ok and sometimes flashing,then an factory reset..etc etc does not help.!
good luck

good luck

Have this issue myself with a N910F on 5.0.1 BOC3 (N910FXXU1BOC3 - CSC TDP). Without much Screen on time i get about 50% battery usage after 9h (usually when I get home from the office). It's not bad, but I would still wonder what the battery life would be like if I did not have the device constantly awake.
I would not want to root the device in order to avoid tripping the KNOX counter.
Is there any way to find and remove the wakelock culprit without rooting the device ?
I updated to 5.0.1 BOC3 from 4.4.4 ANK4 from Odin, wiping the device before and after.
Any ideas on how to proceed without tripping KNOX ?

I had the same problem and I fixed it when I disabled google backup from settings...
Maybe you could try this!

Thanks for the reply, but wanted to know what are you reffering to as google backup. Are you talking about the google sync for contacts, gmail, calendar, drive etc ?
Because on the device i have 2 google accounts that have gmail sync and another google account with gmail, contacts, drive and calendar.
I have disabled google+ photo backup.

There is a menu backup inside settings. Where it syncs wifi passwords etc with Google... I do not know how it is called in English because I use it with Greek names... But I think you can find it easily..

Seems that the wakelock issue is a thing of luck.
I have disabled some more sync options and additional stuff like Multi Window and On-Body Detection SmartLock but i had the same issue with the phone being constantly awake.
Every time i disabled a new feature, did a phone restart. What i noticed is that sometimes after the restart, the wakelock problem goes away, sometime the phone is still constantly awake. So from my point of view, without rooting the Note 4, i can say it's pure luck after a phone restart.
I'm loving that now i see 23% battery consumption after 12h with an estimated of 2 Days left - without power saver. It sure beats the 50% consumption after 8h with 8h left. But i still have to admin, with a constant wakelock on the device, the resolution of the screen, the battery life is .. WOW

Signing out of Google in the settings page then rebooting and signing back in stops the device being always awake. However, it seems Google Services is very buggy and for me the wake happens again after a few days randomly.

Happens with 5.1.1 too. Not rooted

Tl10 b120sp04

Hello guys,
My Mate 7's original version is B120SP04 (32gb/3gb RAM) and I upgraded to B324. Well, to be honest, the only reason why I like B324 is because it's Lollipop. It has better UI. But then again, just because it is newer doesn't mean it is better, right?
I experienced a lot of bugs on B324. I thought that if I downgraded back to B120SP04, cleared cache partition, and reformatted the phone the bugs would be fixed, or at least lessened. Unfortunately, it didn't.
Anyway, I'm thinking of downgrading to B120SP04 for good, or until Huawei fix the bugs.
So my question, what's after B120SP04? I mean can I still upgrade my phone to a firmware with better performance? I'm talking about KitKat.
Thank you!

I actually didn't notice any bugs as of the moment, the camera app has more functionalities...
the way i upgraded is like this:
1 - i downloaded the file from website
2 - inserted a micro sd card, didnt remove the sim, made sure battery is at least 90%
3 - formatted the memory card
4 - pasted the "dLoad" folder containing the lollipop os in the root directory of micro sd card
5 - did upgrade using local upgrade in the settings
6 - waited for the upgrade to finish
7 - phone upgraded successfully, all my files were intact though but im experiencing lags
8 - i tried doing format through settings but failed
9 - did format using volume key + power
10 - format is successful and the phone ran smoothly and better
can you cite the bugs you've encountered?

Actually, this is the second time I upgraded to Lollipop. Before upgrading on my second try, I did step 9 first. Then steps 3-6.
Encountered bugs are:
1. 2 instances of Messaging app running. Let's say you opened the Messaging app once and you exited by pressing the back or home button. Then when you run it again by pressing the icon and pressed the square button, you will see 2 Messaging app on the screen, which should just be 1.
2. Smart screenshot doesn't work. Someone said I should knock harder, but it really doesn't work. It works on my first upgrade though.

the 2nd time you attempted upgrading to lollipop, did you went back to the sp04 version KitKat first? there are certain versions you need to use in order to have a smoother transition with the official lollipop release from Huawei. sp04 is one of them...

Yes, second time I attempted to upgrade to LP my phone was on B120SP04. On B120, I used the volume + power key reboot. I cleared cache partition and reformatted my phone. Put the B324 on my SD card and upgraded to LP.

Android System Battery Draining

Hi all
I'm kinda frustrated and this is my story.
I have Edge + for less than an month (this is my firs Samsung device). I feel pretty familiar with the rooting and other installation, so after I got this device I installed PhilZ Recovery and the Arter kernel.
The device was kinda laggy and after I've tried to restart the device it stock on FRP lock and I flashed the original firmware and decided to let it chance. After that no matter what I did including reflashing
the original firmware, Android System keeps draining the battery, in one night it lose 30% with doing nothing (I guess it is some deep sleep bug). It's like CPU works half of the time while the device is turned on
(with or without Screen is ON).
My question is why actually this happen? Is it common issue with the original firmware? What can I do?
All advises will be welcomed.
Thanks!

I would suggest finding the stock firmware and kernel and re flashing both clean. I have the Edge+ international version and I also rooted and flashed the Arter kernel... But i do not have deep sleep issues. I will loose probably 2-3% battery over night with sync and Wi-Fi off.

That exactly what I did I flashed (even a few times) the original kernel and ROM via Odin but the issue is still there.
2-3% per night it's nothing comparing to my 30% So I guess you don't have any deep sleep issue

Hey. Yeah G3 is the best in deep sleep case. no drainage for a day for 6 days just %1,, but too much drainage while using tho

I'm not sure if my problem is the same as yours. But my phone was facing the same battery issue on stock firmware. I turn off everything, even with flight mode on, the battery drain was like 30-40% overnight.
After I installed gsam battery monitor, I found out that the android system was the main culprit. The android system drain amount was like 7-10 times to kernel (android os), and the apps also showed that my phone was kept awake all the time. No matter what firmware I used, the problem still persists. Fortunately, the problem was then solved when I installed arter97 kernel, or any kernels other than the stock one.

Yea, this is the exact my problem. Eventually I flashed Arter97 kernel and seems like the issue actually disappeared.

My device randomly started shutting itself off.
It switches off when I make volume on full level. And then plays a song or the mob rings it switches off instantly.
How to fix this.
Tried changing rom but nothing is happening.
I am currently on stock nougat.
I think this issue came when I was on MM and flashed first soak test.
Help please to fix this issue.

Also happened for me since the latest naugat update. It was fine in previous updates.
Now I am on Invicta 3.5, everything is fine now.

Is is showing Shutdown dialogue box..

Is your device rooted? Than just format your phone from twrp n flash stock rom or custom rom ... U can find your device stock rom from https://www.stockrom.net/ .. there are alternative sites

if it gets randomly shut down without shutdown dialogue box..so it have the problem with the battery...u need to replace battery with the original battery... don't use genric battery otherwise you will get less battery backup.

No it says nothing. it shutdown randomly.

it is a hardware problem....you need to replace the battery.... temporarily you can silent the phone and turn off its vibration to get rid of it....but this problem can occur again but by doing this it will surely decrease...

yeah....Moto Care may ask you to examine your phone... don't let them examine that..because they will only flash stock images and charge you money...they may also tell you that this is the problem of the motherboard....but that is not true....well one thing I wanna ask that..how much time it is taking in recharging with turbo charger and how much backup it is giving....

A previous downgrade attempt has scarred me from trying to downgrade again

Back in December while i was still on 6.0.1 but on the latest monthly update at the time, I have known for awhile that there was a high android system battery drain after the february 2016 monthly update so I wanted to downgrade back to February. But when I was in the process of downgrading, I got an error on odin and it failed. After I restarted my phone I got a message saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software" so at that time i was freaking out a bit and I went searching around and people said around may of 2016 samsung updated the bootloader so you couldn't downgrade to an earlier month that had the older bootloader.
I just want to know if samsung has updated their bootloader since 7.0 being on the latest bootloader. I'm currently on August security patch and want to go back to March.

I was using, if I'm not mistaken, the Android 7.0 July patch and I wanted to do an experiment. So, I downloaded version 6.0.1 and flashed using Odin.
Everything went through smoothly!
Just a curiosity, why do you want to go back to March? There are no benefits rolling back to an older patch, unless you want to test something.
Also, people say everywhere that their batteries are X with Y update and then, with Z, it got worse (or better). It actually depends on your usage, what apps you have installed, how you use your phone, etc etc etc.
Ah! My S7 Edge is the Exynos version.

I've had a serious kernel battery drain and i've tried whatever I could to fix it. It just started out of nowhere and I can't think of any apps that would cause it to continue and so my battery life has been horrible and it doesn't even go into doze half of the time and I also has forcedoze enabled.
If you were able to go back to 6.0.1 without having an error in odin, then what did i do wrong? I put all the right files in the right place.

What model is your phone? What country?
Battery drain, doze not starting... it's normally caused by apps.

Ohhh Canadaaa \o/
What I would suggest is to start from scratch, without restoring any backup.
If you want, you can download the current and older versions from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935W8/
I'm also on August security patch and I consistently get 7h+ SOT but I disable preloaded apps, (especially Facebook), use the resolution in HD and a black theme to get the benefits of the AMOLED screen.
When using Odin, make sure you put everything on the right place and use CSC file instead of HOME_CSC. It will delete all your data!

What I would suggest is to start from scratch, without restoring any backup.
If you want, you can download the current and older versions from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935W8/
I'm also on August security patch and I consistently get 7h+ SOT but I disable preloaded apps, (especially Facebook), use the resolution in HD and a black theme to get the benefits of the AMOLED screen.
When using Odin, make sure you put everything on the right place and use CSC file instead of HOME_CSC. It will delete all your data!

I also have apps disabled or at least HAD them disabled..i've might have enabled them except the ones i know for sure i dont need like facebook, chrome and those microsoft apps...you get the idea. I use HD resolution and keep it on black or dark theme. I use substratum and have whatever apps are supported themed to black.
Also why not home_csc if im starting from scratch?

HOME_CSC will not wipe /data, CSC will. I may be crazy, but I erase things the maximum I can, so: I factory reset before updating to a new version, I use the CSC file to flash via Odin and I factory reset after I've updated. Then I log in to my Google account and start installing my apps from Play Store.
Of course I don't do it monthly (because security patches make no drastic changes). I only do it when there's a huge update (like Android 6.0 to 7.0) or when I feel the phone becomes sluggish (because I've installed and uninstalled lots of apps, for example).
When I had my Nexus 6, I also used fastboot commands and TWRP to garantee it's 100% clean (yep, you can now shout * crazy dudeeee *)

I used to restore all my apps that way too but the last factory reset i did I just restored backup but this time ill do it that way. So now then i gotta take screenshots of where all my apps are placed on my home screen

So I attempted it and it is a success!
