Hi everyone. I managed to get my hands on a beautiful blue I9505, had some issues while SIM unlocking it, but that's done and I am enjoying the phone very much.
Now, I do have a problem with it. The thing is, it simply will NOT go to deep sleep. Constantly hovering on 384 MHz with msm_hsic_host using a massive 90+ percent of awake time. It is driving me nuts. Our colleagues and friends over at Nexus 4 forums had an identical issue, and I read 57 pages of posts and used all their tips and tricks. Nothing helped.
Attached to this post you can see:
- the original Nexus 4 forum topic - [Q] msm_hsic_host - Nexus 4 forums
- The Google Code page where people complained about this - Google Code - Issue 41855 - "msm_hsic_wakelock" process on Nexus 4 causes severe battery drain
- my battery usage and BBS stats - attached to this post
- Qualcomm's fix for the issue - link 1 and link 2 at Code Aurora
I can't make heads or tails of any of this. The only thing that remains to do today (which I will do) is to flash a custom ROM and kernel for my I9505.
Thanks to anyone who will chime in to this discussion.
Bump - nobody else has this problem? Can you at least share your configurations so I can experiment a bit?

99% chance that some app you installed is causing the wakelock. Install BetterBatteryStatts to determine wich app causes deep sleep/wakelock issues.

I do have BBS as can be seen on the screenshots. I can't find the culprit since I believe it's the system itself.
I had this problem and it turned out to be avg pro app keeping it awake

clear dalvik cache and see again if it does enter Deep sleep or not, as everyone said its an application if not it must be a setting like sync, scan, or even that damn old wifi advanced settings that kept usual phones awake... reconfigure.
Insomnia
My phone won't sleep, won't time out and tapping the power button won't shut off the display. This happened just after deleting bootsamsung.qng, samsungloop.qng and shutdown.qng.
I'd replace the three deleted files, but they just grew and replaced themselves minus the carrier logo. The Baseband version now says: unknown. I stopped and installed google maps, that didn't help.
The good news is, those pink blocks are gone. The bad, I did a factory reset and noticed my cell network connectivity is gone. Maybe that's the sloppy work cutting down the SIM, or maybe something else? I've reinserted that sucker a dozen times and no joy. Do you know if the phone will stay awake without cell service? Putting it in airplane mode doesn't help.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your consideration.

Cleared Dalvik, will keep an eye out (though I don't know how can it help)...
Wiping Dalvik did not help. I will try a factory reset later this afternoon and let the phone be for an hour or so without any apps installed.

Same problem here, my msm_hsic_host accounts for ~99% of the wakelocks according to BBS, even when the phone is in airplane mode and Wifi is off.
I'm running stock MDC firmware & kernel, rooted though.

Read this about the wakelock, has to do with bad/lower 3g connections:
http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...3jjunrjohBvz3zaNvrYSO5g&bvm=bv.46751780,d.d2k
Thanks for the link.
This seems to be a logical explanation, but I've disabled 3G, and it still happens.
Plus it happens when in airplane mode, without any (cell) activity. I'm pretty sure that the kernel isn't configured properly.
Is there a known kernel / stock firmware version where this problem is fixed?
It appears that I have solved my problem.
I reset the device to factory settings and then restored apps, 5 by 5 in 30 min intervals. I still haven't restored all my apps, but so far I restored some 80%, here is the current state of things.
Very interesting.
Please keep us posted once you find out which app caused the problems, or if the factory reset fixed it.
Did you freeze or uninstall any apps?
Did you remove the T-Mobile bloatware?

I froze the same apps I had frozen before. If I find the app that caused the problems, I will report back. So far it's all good, 6h of use and I'm at 87% battery, wifi and 3G always on
P.S. I have Wanam's 1.0 installed
EDIT: 22h30 min, 2h4min screen on time, 48% battery.
I'd say that's an okay result.

You know what, I can't really say. Since the factory reset I restored all my apps and never had the problem since. Really weird issue. 25% can be bad. I had 99.4%

So, if I give you my app list, can you identificate what you used before wipe?
Maybe can will know what apps are potentially to reproduce the problem
Just noticed yesterday that my battery life has been pretty poor on my new Nexus 6P. It took me a while to narrow it down, but I finally noticed that Bluetooth appears to be keeping the phone awake.
Whenever Bluetooth is on, regardless of whether it's connected or paired to anything (I normally use Android Wear, but I completely unpaired all bluetooth devices on the phone), "Android OS" in the battery info screen appears to be stuck awake. Its "Keep awake" time grows continuously as long as Bluetooth is turned on.
Has anyone else ran into this issue, and have any idea how to fix it? I really can't be leaving Bluetooth turned off, and the phone is not really going to make it through the day like this.
Yes it's been happening to me. I didn't know what was causing it until I saw your post. It seems to be a glitch with Marshmallow and not the phone itself. My Nexus 9 was also stuck awake until I turned off Bluetooth.

Hmm. Maybe that's why my battery drained so fast. I'll have to turn off Bluetooth and see if it makes any difference

Have you disabled the bluetooth scanning under locations --> settings (the 3 dots) --> scanning.
You can also disable the wifi scanning in there too.
No, I have disabled Bluetooth scanning and it is still occurring. As long as Bluetooth is turned on, the device stays awake. There's something more serious at issue here.
That's disappointing if true. I use BT all the time and leave it on 24/7.
Aw man, bummer hearing that as I keep my Bluetooth on all the time, and am waiting on my 6P. I actually had this same issue on my Note 4 a week ago, but I was able to narrow it down to a 3rd party app called "Gas Buddy" by using Greenify and CPU Spy. And this only happened whenever Bluetooth was enabled.
I know you said Android OS looks to be the culprit, but if you happen to have this app, try uninstalling it (or blocking Bluetooth permissions for the app). Otherwise, there might be another app pinging Bluetooth to keep the phone awake.

I was seeing the same issue, if BT was on, there was a 100% bluesleep wakelock. Lots of searching later, turns out the Gasbuddy app was the culprit. I still don't understand why, but that was the problem for me.

I turned off BT and got significantly bettery battery life. I only use it when driving in my car so it's not a huge deal for me to have to turn it on/off, but there should be a fix for this.
Man, I'm glad I found this thread. It seems to be the only discussion about this issue on the entire internet! After two nights of 20%+ battery drain, and waking up to a completely dead phone one morning, I'll try turning off Bluetooth instead of returning the phone. Here's hoping for a fix soon. This is a pretty unacceptable problem.
Damn, sucks for those of us with smartwatches

Do you have gasbuddy app installed?

I don't.
i had just posted my (poor) battery life on the battery life thread, and then read this. I did have the gasbuddy app installed, and was keeping BT on 100% of the time. I have since removed the gasbuddy app, and disabled BT for now to see if makes a difference. Maybe its the placebo effect, but my drive from home to work seemed to have killed very little battery since i did this. Ill know better as the day progresses. While it would be annoying to know this is what is causing the wakelock, id just be happy knowing how to manage it until a fix is determined.
love you xda....thanks guy..i had the same issue and drained battery 20% overnight during 7 hours sleep. Crazy drain..... I had bluetooth and gasbuddy app.
So I disabled both and will keep you guys posted.
Thanks guys!
By the way / FWIW I've reported the correlation between GasBuddy and Bluetooth to the GasBuddy devs, and actually got a reply from them. They say they'll have it fixed in the app's next update.
Hello supertoast,
I have forwarded this feedback along to our development team for review to be fixed. They're aware of the problem and it should corrected in the near future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

John

Is there a way without root to determine what app may be wakelocking BT? I don't have GB installed and I get pretty bad battery life with BT on.

Well besides Gas Buddy, it seems that from the above posts that its a fundamental bluetooth issue in marshmallow. So it doesn't matter which app uses it.
It could be, but the GasBuddy correlation for my Note 4 was on 5.0.1. It may very well be some 3rd party app going rogue. That's from my experience though - it could be Marshmallow in general causing it, for all I know! Still waiting on my 6P to experience it. [emoji14]

So I noticed that the newest version of GasBuddy says they fixed the battery drain problem that was affecting certain phone models. I decided to test this the last two nights. I Uninstalled GasBuddy and left my phone unplugged while I slept. I lost 2 percent from 100 percent. Then last night I tried with GasBuddy installed. I lost 20 percent and the keep awake time for android os was more than 8 hours. Is this still an issue for other people? I love GasBuddy and I hate to keep it off my phone.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
same - the update didn't fix it.
it did cause mad wakes for me, uninstalled it last week, i will wait longer until i know its fixed for sure
going to mobile version of the site from chrome and adding to homescreen for the time being seems to be better option instead of installing the app. Also this seems to be fast.
I haven't seen any battery drain at all, I read somewhere that it had something to do with bluetooth, which I don't use
Well I sent then an email hopefully they can fix the 2nd time around

Yes, problem still here, had to uninstall GasBuddy. Strange that it needs bluetooth and then GB doesn't even show up in BBS as holding a wakelock.
Just Greenify it.

Does that fix it? Have you tried it? I'm afraid that once it triggers bluetooth to keep the phone awake it may not go away even if you Greenify it. It feels like something wrong in the bluetooth stack that GB may trigger. I can't explain why GB doesn't show up in BBS or the Android battery monitor.

No, apparently not. After reading this thread, I started GasBuddy for the first time on my new phone and put it right on the Greenify list. Constant wakelocks anyway, and battery took a steep downhill trend for the next few hours.

Yeah, this may point to a Bluetooth stack problem and not really a GasBuddy problem, though the app triggers it. I'm sure there are other apps out there that trigger the same.
Wow thank you people... I noticed in the last weeks that, as soon as I use the bluetooth and then stop using it (I disconnect my device), if I let the bluetooth activated, my phone was awake all the time. I couldn't find WHY !!
Then I saw a post from someone who said that the fix was to remove gasbuddy. I couldn't believe it, but I did the test and it's true !!
Gasbuddy is the culprit
It seems to be fixed now, in the latest release. I'm running it and have actually uninstalled Greenify. I never turn BT off. Battery life is excellent.

All I can say is that is working great for me. Stock Rom, Kylo Kernel, system level root, 6.0.1.

Stock only for me.
I just did it again :
I installed GasBuddy, I turn bluetooth ON, I connect my headphone.
I start TuneIn and start playing anything for a few seconds. Then I stop it and I disconnect my headphone and I let the bluetooth on
here is the wakelock again.
I only connect to my vehicles and laptop with BT, which I've done several times since loading GasBuddy's fixed release. No issues. Ended the day yesterday with 92%, including a couple of BT phone calls from my truck.
I'm also using NapTime, using the Aggressive mode.

See post #15
This is garbage, my 6P will not sleep anymore on 6.0.1. I am stock, rooted, ElementalX, and Xposed.
Not running anything to crazy but this wakelock is destroying my battery. Anything I can do short of a factory reset?
It's related to your location services. Do you have high accuracy for all apps? Maybe have location history enabled on Google Maps
I have both enabled. Prior to 6.0.1 this was a non issue. I have the same settings on my Nexus 9 on 6.0.1 and the device will not be held awake :/
This has been driving me nuts lately too. 6.0.1 stock rooted. The only solution I've found so far is Amplify to limit the wakelock but I'd like to keep Android Pay working... At least until they change root detection methods.
Probably a little late to this thread but I have a possible reason for this issue... I am not a developer so this is only based on my practical experiments..
I used to face this problem till very recently on my Nexus 6p.. no matter which kernel or ROM I use... some nights the phone doesn't sleep at all and then I see the culprit is nlpcollector wakelock. If I restart, the problem goes away for a day or two but then comes back again...
Then I noticed that every post I have seen with this issue on the internet has related to people with rooted phones (else you wouldn't be able to use BBS ) and most had made modifications to the doze parameters (using whichever app).. So I reset my doze parameters to default.. Since the last 2 weeks I haven't seen this issue anymore..
My guess is that one of my customized doze parameters is breaking the functionality but I can't figure out which one.. Tried resetting only the location based parameters but the wakelock returns.. My only solution is to reset all the doze settings..
Obviously the other solution is to set up xposed and download amplify or other such apps to block the wakelock.. I haven't tried it but should work..
PS - I still have location history on and location set to high accuracy. So that is not the culprit.
Nexus 6P users with GSam Battery Monitor and Root Companion, do you notice the one of the highest battery drainers is under "System (mediaserver) and when you click into it is shows "Audio On" for a very long time?
I did not play any music or anything with much sound except normal apps notification. I also tried uninstalling updates of Youtube/Google Music etc and cleared data and cache, and uninstalling a few possible apps such as apps relates to "sounds and music" and the "Audio On" time just keeps going.
Is it normal? If not, any solution or suggsetions? Some users suggested it's Ok Google always on. Thanks.

I have the same, but never managed to find out if it was normal or not. Audio on time was generally a bit more than the Screen on Time. OK Google was completely turned off.
I'm still to establish if it is a GSAM reporting issue, or a real problem.
Are you on the stock factory image but rooted? Is your OK Google set to always on, within the Google app, or never? I had the same problem when reverting back to stock, but switched to PureNexus and started using Amplify and Naptime and it has improved significantly. It does go up when I play music/podcasts though but that's normal I think.

I am on everything stock except rooted. My OK Google is always on but i tried to disable it and still see the "Audio On" time counting. But I do notice the Audio On time does not always count. I failed to find any sorts of co-relation of the time to any apps though. It feels so random. I have already tried uninstalling Music App, some apps with notification time and now disabling Google OK always on, but still the time counts on.
I am having the same issue since few days now.. The mediaserver (especially audio on) usage is really really high.
Do you guys use spotify by any chance? I didn't install it for a while and today after Spotify installation it's like drain time babe.

i don't use spotify. the drain comes out of nowhere and unpredictable. that's the problem.
It looks like wechat draining bro, after receiving any notification from wechat or idleing it will cause it drain on audioon bugs.
If you force close wechat and recheck it stop at the value.
I've been having this issue too. I've been switching back and forth between Chroma and Pure Nexus and it hasn't changed. I always get at least 25% drain due to mediaserver audio on. It's driving me crazy :/

I have the same problem! I will give some stats: Ok Google always on, no local music only play music, no spotify, pocket casts, I tried to only scan with notification, 2 clean installs, my kernel often keeps the device awake.
Running Kylo on Ubermallow with Amplify. I think this drain is real, because when I did not have it my battery lasted longer.
absolutly same issue here :/
it seems started with February security patch, no media file change (not added, not moved of folder, nothing!). I've not played music/video while testing this.... :/
OkGoogle everywhere is OFF
i've no music streming app/services, any chat (just hangouts), any other change on my setup these days.... :/
Has anybody figured this out yet? I had skipped January and February's security patches and was still on MMB29M. This only started about 4 days ago for me. I upgraded to the latest patch, MMB29Q, and... the glitch was fixed for a day hours but has now come back. :\
