Anyone else having partial wakelocks/worse battery life after JB OTA?

Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone happens to be getting a lot of partial wakelocks without screen on or if your overall battery life has decreased since installing the 4.1.1 OTA. When I first purchased the phone, I had very very few incidents under my battery info where I would have a session awake without the screen on. Post update, seems like I've got a ton of really small wakes with no screen activity. I have turned off Google Now and every GPS/Location setting I could find. Downloaded Better Battery Stats today so I'm going to see if I can get some better info on what's going on, new to the program though and I don't understand most of the info that it reads.
Prior to the update, letting my phone sit overnight I would maybe see a 3 or 4% drop over the course of say six or seven hours. Now I'm seeing a 3 to 4% drop in battery per hour, more if I'm actively using the phone. I'm going to do more testing, specifically overnight to see how it fairs. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues.

I am noticing the same thing. Don't know the cause. Keep sync off all day.

Im getting the fast dormancy symptom again... no matter what i tried I cant fix it... always connecting as HSPDA+ even if im not using......anyone got any ideas?

Hmm, might try a factory reset and not installing any apps at all and seeing how it fairs. By chance, do you guys have any of the stock bloatware apps disabled? Not rooted/Frozen, but just disabled via the apps menu? Wondering if perhaps disabling any of them might be a trigger.

Yea i'm getting that. I'm using 13% overnight now vs like 4% before. Not sure about the wakelocks though.
Some random things I've noticed are the blur widget resets itself alot. And the transition to the settings window on the left is laggy. How would one revert back to ICS? Google Now is not that worth it to me and the phone was smooth enough before. I'd take the battery life over the new features.
I did buy a second Razr M for my girlfriend that's still on ICS. I guess I can do a side by side compare this weekend.

I am loving the update.. only issue so far is fire fox crashing..no battery issues. Must be settings guys..

i don't think it is setting i have all my syncs to manual, and i have been noticing a lot worse battery life since the update i would have 18+ hours or so off charger with pretty heavy texting / game / some voice calls. Now i'm not getting close to that. I just disabled the fast dormancy service to see if that helps any, ill post back results

Just did a factory reset today, I'm not going to disable any of the bloatware this time, and I only installed BetterBatteryStats as well as updated all the default apps in the Play Store. Going to see if I get any wakelocks this time around.
Last night, after a period of 6 hours, I had over an hours worth of partial wakelocks from AlarmManager (subheading Phone).
-Matt :good:

I disabled Google Now and my phone used 7% battery over 6 and a half hours. A little bit better.

A factory reset (annoying as it is) helped me considerably. My phone was also seriously laggy before the reset...slow like my old DX on GB, much worse than factory ICS. It finally feels smooth now, like JB should.
Still seeing a lot more wakelocks than on ICS, but it doesn't seem to be draining the battery like it was before the reset. I also removed or disabled a couple of apps that seemed to be serious offenders (Accuweather was one).

Did a reset on mine as well and did not restore from Google backup. Still seeing wakelocks, but as someone noted earlier they don't seem to be draining the battery too much. With that said, the battery does still seem to tick down much faster than on ICS. One thing I did find that helped, although honestly it's not really a solution, is turning off data use when I'm out and about just answering texts and such. If I have data/wifi disabled, I'm getting closer to the battery life that ICS was giving, but then again who wants to go around having to toggle data on and off every time you want to look something up.

Is maps showing up on your battery stats and you're not using it? If so, simply open the application. It should say "updated to the latest version" or something like that. If this is happening, this will solve your battery problems.
Happened on my Galaxy Nexus and was happening initially for this phone too. Hope this helps someone.

Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service Not Responding.
Me and my wife both updated to KitKat on our Razr M's. I like it so far. The pop up about modem fast dormancy bothers both of use. When you look under battery, it uses more battery than other apps. I force stop it, reboot and it comes right back. A chat on Motorola web site sugested to wipe partition cache. The link that was provide gives the wrong instructions. KitKat using the power and volume keys has changed. They forgot to tell some people. That didn't work! I sent a long email to Motorola telling them that someone messed up or they did this for a reason! I guess if you get mad enough you'll just buy a newer phone. If that one thing is fixed, we would both be happy. The white background in text take some getting use to also. I hope Motorola will help us, but I kind of think Razr M's will be considered OLD! They are betting we will junk them for a new model.

Battery has a lot of issues

Hey guys,
I am having a few bugs with the battery indicator on my Tegra Note 7. It is always freezing up at random percentages and does not give an accurate reading. For example it thinks it is at 81% right now, and if I were to reboot it it will only actually be at like, 40%. I was just wondering is this a bug with only my device? Or are other people experiencing the same thing? I'm at thempst recent OTA, but its something I've been experiencing since I first opened it.
Also, like many others have noted, when I updated to Android 4.4.2, the battery seems to drain A LOT faster. Like, its down 10 percent in 30 minutes on balanced battery. These bugs kind of make me want to refund it and buy an nexus 7 instead. I've only had the thing for about 3 days.

Quick update, I'm just about to do a battery calibration to see if this fixes the wrong reading issue. If not it may be a hardware defect.

That's weird, because ever since the latest OTA, my battery life has been stellar! Sitting in standby, it'll go literally a week without a charge, and during use it seems quite reasonable. I wonder if it's because I did a full factory reset after the update... I've had mine since launch, and after so many updates I figured it might be a good idea to do a full reset, and it cleared up a lot of my issues.

That may be a good idea. The reading issue is something that has been going on since the first day I got it. I had to walk to the library to set it up with all my games and such, and the whole time (about two hours) I was there I thought I had a charge 57%. I went home and rebooted to realize the battery was actually only at 8%! Since the calibration, I haven't seen the issue as of yet, and the battery seems to be working a lot better. I may try a factory reset however because I am having a few unrelated touch screen issues and stylus issues.

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

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.

Nexus 6p Battery Issue

Hey Guys,
I have a nexus 6p the 64 gb version ,and its one of the greatest phones I have ever owned. Everything about it is great, unfortunately the past couple of weeks my phone battery started to drain extremely fast. My phone now doesn’t last a full day and it constantly overheats. I’m a very heavy user, I almost do anything electronically on my phone, but before the battery drain my phone didn’t overheat nor its battery drained that fast.
There is no apparent reason why this is happening, I did not change my frequency or intensity using my phone. But I think there is possible reasons:
-Google latest update
- Charging my phone BRIEFLY with a non-certified type C cable (I didn’t know there was an issue with those cable before)
- A certain application that runs in the background (phone is always warm and when on usually overheats even if just browsing)
One of the great things I admired about my Nexus was its long lasting battery life and rapid charging. I’m really disappointed, I really liked this phone and wanted to last. Please if anybody faced the same issue or have any suggestions, solutions etc, please share. I have attached a report showing my battery use.
Thanks Aalot
**my phone is not rooted or anything it’s just plain stock android

The first thing I would have pointed out, is a custom kernel, tweaked inappropriately. But you ruled that out.
Now since your device is not rooted, there are not much ways to track the drain. I certainly believe that, there is a specific app that is causing the drain.

First of all, thanks for your response.
A small percentage of the battery is consumed by apps the rest is for the screen

Do you know any application that can measure each app battery consumption. Because it will be very difficult determining which app is sucking all the juice

I just got mine last Thursday and I'm also a little disappointed with the battery life. When I set up the phone, there were 3 or 4 google updates and the phone only lasted for less than 8 hours. I'm thinking it's due to the whole set up process.
I did a hard reset due to missing wifi passwords and I'm currently monitoring the battery drain.
Coming from OnePlus One, the battery life on this is really disappointing. But then again, I always have my anker battery charger with me. I'm hoping once the apps settle, battery life should improve.

I uninstalled FB, Messenger, and a couple of other apps that were restored from initial set up, powered off and wiped cache. So far, battery is holding up. If drain continues, I will factory reset and install apps one by one

Hey guys, I removed alot of applications, and btw I never installed Facebook messenger on my phone. But the battery is still draining.
The phone is constantly warm, and sometimes hot, even if its on standby.
Any suggestions?
Its very strange that the majority is not facing this issue (it's a good thing),

This is happen to me too. No new app. It is appear that if I reboot the phone after disconnect from from the charger then it is doze normally otherwise android system will keep the phone awake. Bluetooth does not seem to matter on or off. This is happen after april ota.

Go to Settings >Battery and see what is causing it. It may be an app that you updated. Try wiping cache or uninstall/install the updated app. If still draining, you may have to factory reset from boot and install apps one at a time instead of restoring backup.

Same here. Tired of this sutuation already, sometimes it works properly 1-2 % even 0 on morning, but sometimes it loses 10-15 %, I didn't install any new applications in monthes, it just started.

Sudden drop in battery performance on my Nexus 6P(no rogue 3rd party apps).

Hello everyone!
So I have been having these battery issues since April security patch. the phone gets really warm to the touch even by doing the simplest of things like browsing and watching youtube. Android OS keeps the phone awake 80% of the time and I am only getting 2-3 hours of use throughout the day. Restored the phone to factory settings(fresh start, nothing restored) three days ago and still the same issue. Android OS drains the battery life even though I made sure that only google apps are installed on the phone.
But today things got even weirder. I disabled Google Now and location services as a test and the battery drain and heat issues were gone temporarily. I was getting a great battery performance from morning to afternoon. I check my battery stats and I notice that Google services mysteriously drained 17% of my battery life and that it's been running for 21 days straight? That's impossible since I just did a fresh reset to the phone three days ago. I rebooted the phone and that "Google services" drain changed to WiFi instead?! That's crazy!
I contacted Google store support team and they have been really helpful so far. They offered to replace the phone with a refurbished unit, but I don't think I am ready to give up on this phone just yet.
Thank you!

I hate to recommend this, but sometimes things go out of wack after a SW update, so a hard reset would probably be needed. I would try that (just start from zero) before jumping into a refurbished phone that might have some other kind of issues. Have you tried a hard reset yet? I see that you did a fresh reset. Did you go through the recovery though? Not just the regular UI. I think it's better to clear cache, and every thing through the recovery (custom or stock).

Wow. Maybe a custom ROM might help? Have you tried that? That's the last thing I would do. Good luck!

Not recommended but I just flashed January vendor and ROM and that has helped my battery life. I. Believe it is the security updates that kill our battery.

Is it a widespread issue? Like I said in my post, I saw the decline ever since I got the April security update. The May patch actually managed to make things worse. There seems to be something hidden in the OS that it's draining the battery and causing the awake issues. I haven't tried rooting the device because I lack the experience to do so. I will probably look into it on these forums, but at this point I have tried everything.
Disabling Google now helped a lot and it exposed some sort of a glitch with the stock battery monitoring app. I am not sure if it's hardware or software, but it's certainly not normal. I am tempted to just replace it, but I am afraid that this issue will just plague the new one from Google. I am really disappointed How Google handles updates on this device. I always thought that stock android is most stable version of android, but the software on my old Xperia Z is actually more stable than this. It never had battery drain issues and standby battery life was always great. The battery life on Nexus 6P is actually worse than the Xperia Z even though that phone is 3 years old.

I've seen a lot of posts over the months with people having the same problem we are. I came from a mid range LG stylo with a snapdragon 610. I would have 8 hours screen on time daily. Its sad that goggle cant get the same out of their own hardware. Also I have seen that the Note 5 and S7 Edge both get better battery life as opposed to our stock phones. For as much as people praise stock and look down on Touchwiz, they are doing something right over there.

But it doesn't affect everyone and that what puzzles me. Only certain phones are hit by these issues, while other people are getting excellent battery life. I have seen plenty of people post screenshots of 6 hours+ of on screen time. I am lucky to get 3 hours. I think Google should really invest in creating a better power management system into Android. Companies like Sony and Samsung built their own and the battery life on their devices always perform predictably relative to what I am seeing on this phone. I have never witnessed The doze feature kick in since I have bought this phone. Sony had stamina mode since 2013 and it actually worked.

But it doesn't affect everyone and that what puzzles me. Only certain phones are hit by these issues, while other people are getting excellent battery life. I have seen plenty of people post screenshots of 6 hours+ of on screen time. I am lucky to get 3 hours. I think Google should really invest in creating a better power management system into Android. Companies like Sony and Samsung built their own and the battery life on their devices always perform predictably relative to what I am seeing on this phone.

Most of those people posting those outrageous number root and do kernel tweaks. I've gotten at most 6 hours SOT on stock without root. You are right our phones do all react differently to certain circumstances. I don't know if it's feasible to you ,but you should try rooting and trying out a few Roms some help others don't. If you aren't into Roms and decide to root try earlier vendors and stock roms and see it those work. I'm not an expert by any means just my suggestions.

Well, the fact that you are having great battery life proves my point. It's either that the quality control of the batteries used on these phones are terrible, or that the software or kernel are corrupted from factory causing these issues. There is no way to fix them by hard reseting the phone so far. I am going to try to flash a stock rom on this device and see what happens. Thanks by the way.

1) Are you rooted? If not, at least do that and install BBS in order to track down what's eating your battery.
2) Probably we'll run into a common problem / bug the last two months.
After unplugging the phone, it seems that the wakelock *backup* runs constantly, does not let phone get into sleep, and runs in the background while using your phone causin battery to drain faster.
3) About battery life. Comparing battery results between two users it has no point, unless you really now his usage pattern. Not only the setup, but which apps of them used most etc.
For example Facebook app is real battery eater. I've seen an hour more SOT without this app.
I can give several examples like this.
