[Q] Name this wakelock - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm getting some weird battery drain on my N4. I'm running a pretty raw collection of incomplete things right now, so I know mmmv, but I'm trying to track down which program or service is throwing this partial wakelock. It comes up as "Google Services" in the battery settings and as "*sync*/com.android.browser/com.google/[gibberish]@gmail.com" in BetterBatteryStats.
See the attached pictures. I'm on a more or less stock early kitkat rom from PA, 0-day GApps, and ART.
I bet this drain will go away when some or all of those are updated, but I'm otherwise very happy with my phone as-is so if I could solve this without reverting to JB or Stock that'd be great. If I can't, I might try Dalvik again and see if it helps.

What ya still doing on the AOSP ROM? Get yourself a factory image and then tweak/flash away! its your 'services'.
If you don't want to change when I didn't as well (also used AOSP 4.4 for a while!) I just backed up everything on PC and factory reset and wiped data. It then resolved my wake lock issues, hopefully it works out!

Go to Settings -> Location, choose Battery Saving or Device only. In addition, do you use Google+? If no, disable or uninstall it. Reboot the phone and monitor battery usage to see if still draining fast. If still, try to clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery.

Sorry for the slight necro.
I am having this wake lock frequently myself, doesn't seem to take a huge hit on the battery but does keep phone from deep sleep.
I looked all over the settings in browser app, couldn't find sync, can anybody assist in location.

Bump
Nobody else has any of these wake locks?

100% awake time fix for DamagedTrev 2.0.1?

I have tried the Airplane Mode trick, and it did not work...anyone find a solution? This build runs great other than this battery life issue...
Did you try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651848
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that previously, and while it reduced the "time without signal", the awake time is remains at 100%.
Does anyone know if this 100% awake is an issue with Fresh Rom 2.0c?

That issue isn't guaranteed to happen, or *not* happen, on any particular 2.1 rom, but seems to happen to people on occasion on different roms, and perhaps for different reasons. I did not have that issue on Fresh 2.0c, for what it's worth.
No matter which rom you want to end up on, it might be a good idea to restore back to something that previously worked, confirm that it still does, then re-wipe (Data/Dalvik/Ext) and re-flash the rom of your choice. If all goes well you won't have the issue, and will have only a slight lingering frustration over what unknown factors were causing it.
...and good luck!
This sounds fine, except for having to set up all my apps., etc, etc all over again :-(
Is there a way to avoid that?

Depends on what you mean by 'set up' -- saved .apks for easy re-installation, yes. Saved .apks with all relevant configuration intact -- well, that's what nandroid is for, so in that case no, not really.
Best case, if you happen to be using apps2sd, when you do a nandroid backup (+ext) it puts all your .apk in a neat and tidy .tar file for you labeled ext. You could certainly unzip that and push them back after you get the basics set up again.
If you are not using apps2sd, you can still backup most of your .apk files using AppMonster or Astro, both free from the market. They might not be able to backup some paid apps, or certain protected free ones, but it will get most of them. If you are comfortable reading up on, and learning adb a bit, you can 'adb pull [source] [destination]' to get the files that the apps won't copy on to your PC.
Regardless, don't rush to dump everything back before you check to see that your awake time drops when the phone is off for a while (and not plugged in to pc, for good measure).
I am assuming hat wiping and using a nandroid backup will not fix this issue...correct?

Oh it might, but if the rom you restore isn't the rom you want to end up on you will clearly still have a few more steps to take. Since the issue isn't really that well understood the only way to find out for sure is to try it.
If I had to wager, I would say that yes, if you restore a backup of a rom that didn't give you 100% awake time trouble before, it should be fine once again when restored over a setup that was giving you trouble.
The real point is that if you then went *back* to the one that was giving you trouble, there is just as good a chance that it would work fine this time as there is that you would have the same issue again. Only one way to find out...
Thanks for all of your help askwhy. Too bad no one understands this issue - it seems that it *should* be a very simple fix ;-)
Wow, I just flashed Fresh 2.0b and the awake time issue is resolved. Also, the Cell Standby issue is also solved - it's at 29%, rather than the 69% I had with the Damaged One...now tlet's see what is broken in the Fresh version...
I had 100% awake on DamageControl v2.0r2. Just flashed Damaged-Regaw 2.0b1.3 and the issue is solved as well as all the other issues I was having.
Troy, what other issues did it solve, and where did you get it?
I am now thinking of staying with Fresh, as it seems to be more responsive...thanks.
i am on darkledgend 4.2.2 and to fix the problem on that rom here are the steps, give it a try.
from dialer
*#*#4636#*#* (give it a second and you will go into a menu)
press menu hard key
press select radio band (you will get a force close, acknowledge and ignore it)
select "cdma auto prl" from the drop down menu
press home hard key
you have to do this every time you reboot

Thanks Smitty. I tried that some time ago, and while it seems to fix an issue, but it does nothing to help the 100% awake issue. Thanks though.
for what its worth i have never had the issue using the full rom -

Are the people with 100% awake time already patched with this file?

(From the first page of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653622 )
I noticed I had the 100% awake time before trying to fix the Facebook syncing problems; patched with this file and now I'm down to about 50% awake time (sounds accurate as I haven't had the screen off for a lot of the time).
Its only been a bit over an hour but though I would mention it.
good point about fb urinsane last thing i did before i started session in above screenshots was test out that update.

Battery life issues

Hello,
I've a big battery issue on my LG G2... Everything was working fine and my battery held 1,5 days in normal use. Yesterday I noticed a dramatic battery performance, I have to charge my phone every 3 or 4 hours I can't even charge it while its on because it continue de discharging...
In the battery details, I noticed that there is new "Media" app running all the time and the phone is becoming very hot while it's in my pocket. This application is eating my batterie and I don't know how to stop it...
Any help please? I uploaderd some screenshots for you.
Thank you

Happens more often then press home longtime, open taskmanager and press menu button, disable if its a service from there.

Thank you for you help. My phone is rooted. I installed Greenify and wakelock... Unfortunately this media app is a kind of multiple system services, it dont show in the task manager or greenify... And I can't stop it form the menu cause it restart again (the force stop button is disabled)...
The services are:
- Media Storage
- Downloads
- DRM Protected Content Storage
- Download Manager
And they are using 90% of my CPU all the time (doing what ever they are doing)... I've made some search and it seems that it's an android related problème (not only the LG G2)... I've disabled the Downloads, DRM Protected Content Storage and Download Manager services... But I cannot disable the Media storage... It seems that this service keep scanning a corrupted media file (MP3 and photos...), so I deleted all my MP3 but no way
I finally done a reset to factory settings... Will see
Try Rescan Media
I had the same problem om my GS3, this solved it.
do you have fully synced backup aps running,
try disabling in this case via settings, general, backup&restore the checkbox at backup my data.
That way you probably wont have to disable those services.
I think some app, or this backup settings have gone amuck. Factory reset is last resort, but otherwise clearing cache\app data of backup stuff might help.

What Bachera said. Sounds like you have an app that's eating you alive. Titanium Backup then Factory reset. Don't restore anything until you test your phone, then if all is well add apps one at a time. DON"T restore system data. Good luck!
Actually it's a new phone (and i'm new at Android as well) so I didn't have that much data to backup... I did a rest to factory setting with no backup. It's working for the moment

GPS Battery bug

Hi all, got my Note 3 Thursday and I love it, came from a Z1 and what I love the most is the battery life. I'm a pretty heavy user and so far I'm getting at least 6hrs screen on which is awesome for me!
Anyway I noticed today that even though my GPS hasn't been on its showing on in battery stats

}
but when I did turn the GPS on it shows its off, it's like it's inverted strangely....rebooted phone still same.
I will back up and factory reset it tomorrow, but wanted to check if anyone else had this before, I did search but nothing came up. BTW I'm stock unrooted.

A colleague of mine is having same problem but with wifi, it's inverted....I will point out though it doesn't seem to have an effect on battery life. Must be a visual bug.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Edit: mine wasn't inverting like yours, just showing the gps on when it was off.
I isolated this down to google maps, I didn't notice a drop in battery, but It bugged me none the less. Once location was blocked in Xprivacy it stopped reporting GPS-on in the battery stats. This might fix it: Try temporarily disabling google maps from app info and see if it stops, then re-enable.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
OP screen looks strange and looks nothing like mine: I have GPS on all the time and actually used maps for driving from work today and GPS shows active only when screen was on. With screen off on mine GPS shows off as well, where OP shows GPS active all the time. I wonder if OP has some program requesting GPS position at all times, even with screen off. Maybe some anti theft tracking or showing OP position to friends and family? Maybe same program over rides off setting? I never heard of settings being inverted, but maybe there is some system error.
Thanks for your feedback, after trying a few things: disabling Gmaps, rebooting device, turning off location services still no joy. So before doing a factory reset I reset the app preferences, which you can do but going to settings>app manager>all>press menu and then select ' reset app preferences' and it worked.
So it must if been some app causing this, I don't have a tracking app apart from the Android device manager, which is on, a bit stumped what it was but now glad it's gone as my OCD was going through the roof!! ?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I had the same problem,all my GPS settings were set to off but somehow the Battery stats were showing that the GPS was all time on! I tried many things until I found the real culprit, and in my case was not the OS software but an App that is keeping the GPS on despite closing it! The App (2GIS) is of course related to GPS as it includes navigation among its features.The solution was to close the app and reboot my device instead of deleting that app as I really want it! So I will advise anyone with this problem to find every app on their phone which uses GPS and monitor them, hopefully you will track down the culprit!

Wi-Fi constantly Running.

As the title states for some reason. Wi-Fi is constantly running.
No idea how or why. Nothing is enabled. Wi-Fi calling is also off.
Thank you in advance!

Better battery stats....... Is that a 3rd party app?
Could be that that battery app is miss reading something and giving you false information based on your other screen shots.
@shwnr11
That could be it. Better Battery Stats is a well known XDA application made by a member here named chamonix.
It is free for us XDA members but it is also a Paid application on the PlayStore.
I'll read up on his thread to see if he can point me into the right direction.
I wanted to come on here first to see if anyone else with a V20 is using this application and having the same problem.
I recently rooted my phone and at first I did not use a Custom Rom like (Overdrive, Etc.) and I ran into the same problem where the stats are showing Wi-Fi constantly running. I thought I may have deleted or frozen something using TitaniumBackup and I just could not figure it out at all and decided to go ahead and try the Overdrive Custom Rom to see if was something I did.
And of course after setting up my phone BetterBatteryStats is showing Wi-Fi is constanly running again...even on a clean install of a Custom Rom. It is not "On" because that is labeled as something else within the stats and it does not seem to be draining battery even though it shows "100%" battery usage. I am still achieving at the end of the day "1.0%" drain every hour.
But I appreciate you commenting and not just "Viewing" like the other 100 or less viewers have.
I still have no idea what would cause this type of battery usage with the Wi-Fi.
I decided to go ahead and do a fresh clean install of OverDrive's Custom Rom. I have not loaded any of my apps from Titanium Backup but Better Battery Stats.
After 2 hours now BBStats does not show this type of battery usage anymore.
So I am even more puzzled now. It may be that I deleted an app or apk or frozen something that requires Wi-Fi to behave properly.
Is there a list of aps or apks that we can safely remove or freeze?

Check in developer options and make sure allow WiFi room scans is turned off, when on it sends your location data to Google even when you turn WiFi off.
wifi
Common sense isn't all that common
@ZDeuce2
That was the first place I thought to look because I remember that being an issue with the Nexus 6 but unfortunately it was already disabled.
But I believe it may have been something I deleted or froze because I went ahead restored all of my apps one by one that I had prior just to see if it was an app of mine and I did not delete or freeze or anything this time around and Wi-Fi is not showing any usage at all with the BBStats app.
Yea I am puzzled but I am a happy camper now. BBStats is showing a solid "0.2%" battery usage every hour! Getting awesome battery life now.
Thank you though good sir for the comment.

Google Maps 6 gets killed running in background

Hi guys, is anyone here still using Google maps v6?
It is still working fine, except that on this phone (s10+ Exynos) the app gets killed when running in the background.
At first i believed it to be because i had added the app to the sleep list. I had done that because the system keeps saying the app is eating up battery, even when not running.
So I removed the app from the sleep list, but it keeps getting killed.
How can i make sure that an app never gets killed when running in the background?
Try this go into settings and search optimize battery usage, and then press optimize battery usage listed. You have the options to see what is not optimize battery usage or all click all on top left and see If maps is toggled on. If so toggle off.

I have those settings now, and removed the app from the sleeping apps (again). I'm afraid the system will put it back on the 'sleep' list again because it uses a lot of battery in the background (I get regular warnings about that).
Anyone have an idea why this app would be so active while not even used?

It's v6 of Google Maps. It had a much simpler interface, and easier to use when looking for alternative routes.
And it doesn't have all that commercial baggage of the new version, which is way slower too btw.
The only thing is, why does it use battery when not even started....

Being it's an old version I would think you downloaded it from the net and not the play store. Maybe it has hidden spyware etc?
