Hi. My girlfriend`s stock desire eats battery as hell from time to time. I managed to find the culprit- it`s facebook keeping wakelock. Do others experience this? BTW we are exiting facebok app not by pressing home button, but by pressing back. And this issue doesn`t happen always. How to prevent this? Maybe some autokiller may help? What do u guys think?
All facebook sync in settings is turned off
wierd i guess
how about in-app settings in facebook? try switching sync off there too
You said, this issue does not happen always. Can you reproduce this problem yourself? Do you do special things when this issue happens?

No special things when this issue occurs. I just launch facebook look at main feed list then hit back twice (first for go back to main screen with facebook icons and second to exit application).
Look up, which applications and/or services are running in background. Updated facebook on newest version?
Is wifi/3g always on? Wifi and mobile network are real battery killers.

Its on mobile network. But *#*#4636#*#* -> battery history partial wakelock shows facebook active all the time. So i doubt it`s a network fault.
Kill facebook by yourself:
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>choose facebook>press "force stop"
If problem not solved, see what happens when you uninstall facebook completely

Hi All,
I don't know what does this icon mean (circled in red in the attachment).
It is not for background sync, since it is still there after I disable the sync.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

that's what comes up when email syncs for me
It means account data is syncing.

LOL, yeah. it's the sync icon. you may notice it on every single widget you have, where you can press and refresh the info. or, in most menus. it means refresh/sync
Or when it tells you what it does in the setup process
This icon is there forever / syncing all the time?
I think I disable most of the sync function in apps ...
Does it cause my battery running out so fast? ...

your talking about the constant sync bug from rooting. I heard about it but never encountered it, don't remember what fixes it besides a wipe. Go ask in the dev forum
I believe that canceling all sync operations and restarting them a few times seemed to fix it for those that encountered that bug (you can do this from Settings/Sync), plus possibly a reboot... Don't hold me to it tho!
My phone is draining quite quickly. Lost 30% in 2 hours without doing anything. Also, it gets pretty warm and the data arrows are constantly active. So there must be an app that's using bandwidth and draining my battery.
Is there an app in the market that shows which apps use the bandwidth?
Reboot doesn't help and I don't have any refreshing webpages open so it's a big mystery for me which app causes this drain...
No need for an app. Just press *#*#4636#*#*
Yes it sounds like you have a dodgy app. Two main culprits are the engadget widget, and having igoogle as your home page.
To find our what's doing it, either install the 'spare parts' app from the market, or (simpler) go to your dialer and key in *#*#info#*#*
This will access the hidden menu that the spare parts app gets you into. In here, select 'battery history' and you can select from a drop-down different parts of your phone that use barry power. Select ' network usage' and 'partial wake usage'. I believe this will highlight the culprit for you.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I see a lot of network traffic being used by "1013". Does anyone know what that is? Clicking it crash the info-app.
The calendar app is 1011 which is the main culprit on mine. It's not the calendar widget is it? Try force closing the calendar app and widget and reboot.

From doing a bit of digging, it looks like this 1013 is a "mediaserver" process, (Whatever that means) and that no one seems certain exactly what it is. But it does seem that people are seeing it stop when they remove Weatherbug and/or the youtube widget. Do you have either of these installed?
Open up the Android Marketplace and select 'downloads'. This will show you your installed apps in the order you installed them. The most recent at the top. Start removing the most recent apps one by one until you see the 1013 process stop.
If you manage to put your finger on the culprit, you can help lots of people out here. Check out the threads on this forum under "Network usage by 1013".
After all is there any application which could show data traffic in Kb per application?
I too have found a mysterious app/process using the majority of my data called "0" clicking it force closes the app.
Anyone else have this?

Additionally to "0" i also have the processes "1014" and "1010" listed under *#*#4636#*#*. Anybody out there who knows what they exactly do as they consume quite a bit of my data-amount?
Anybody? No Dev around here who knows every process personally and by name ?
Netcounter.
Free and awesome. Find it in the market, more info here: http://www.jaqpot.net/netcounter/
I had the same issue, Solved it by deinstalling the k9-mail app, which was causing the 1013 flooding.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
heya,
st0kes: Hmm, yes, but from what I can tell, NetCounter only tells you total data traffic, whereas what we're talking about here is traffic per app
For me, the data traffic arrows starting being lit up near constantly this morning, even though I wasn't doing anything active, as such. I also noticed the data usage counter in my Credit Usage app going up steadily. Bit worrying.
On my, it's showing an app "1010" as using a lot of traffic - anybody have any idea what that is?
Is it actually feasible to make an app that logs network traffic by app? Is something like that possible via the SDK?
Cheers,
Victor
You can see the data usage by app by using 'Network TrafficStats'

I noticed this with dk28 where my snsservice would keep saying restarting after about an hour when my phone is booted and doesn't have a running time. I don't know if this is causing some issues because the phone then say that I can't edit my contacts.

I gather you are referring to Facebook SNS? This started after Facebook made changes to their application and introduced their own sync process. Those changes did something that conflicts with Google's integration with Facebook.
Google and Facebook are going at it over the sync process within Android.
Source
There is another thread a few pages back in this sub forum that discusses possible work arounds. Nothing confirmed to resolve the constant prompts as of yet.
I'm having this issue too, I don't use Facebook and I can't find anything on any of the forums about this issue. No problems other than SNSSERVICE RESTARTING... continuously in running services. I push to stop it and it goes away, but I haven't noticed any other problems, even after I close it. I do notice that my battery lasts longer when I kill it. What EXACTLY does SNSService do? I've heard several different comments that it is for Facebook, its for Security (? if so, what security?), etc... and what would be causing it to go into restart. I do toggle off 3G from Power Control Plus (and GPS and Auto Sync) when I'm at work or other times when I have 1 or 2 signal bars (to save battery), but when I've had this happen, I try reconnecting all those, and it does not save the snsservice from going into a restart loop.

I have the EXACT same problem, on EB13 Syndicate ROM.
One thing I know for sure is snsservice fetches email syncs at the selected intervals for the stock email app, because I haven't been getting any emails since the problem started. My girlfriend has the Samsung Fascinate (sister phone) and she has the EXACT same problem. Anyone else know?
I found a fix for this...I'll bet if you have this problem you don't have a Facebook nor Twitter account and thus, have removed the "Feeds & Updates" widget from your screens. If you DON'T force close the SNSService, but just put the Feeds & Updates Widget back on an unused screen somewhere it will immediately stop the snsservice from restarting. I've then deleted the widget from my screen and was good for about 2 weeks, then it started doing it again (after the facebook app got an update) so I just left the widget up now.

I don't know, for sure it doesn't help it. It would be nice if somebody shed some light on this bug.
My fix is to just delete the two SNS apk's, and use the respective apps built in sync feature.

Excuse me...you are right, it's a workaround, like the airplane toggle and the upside down compass calibrate, but hey I hope folks can use it until it does get fixed, which, I think people with the issue would appreciate knowing.

To remove the stock, built in SNS features, you can remove the following files:
Snsaccount.apk
Snsproviders.apk
About affecting the fb app, I'm not sure. I just started using the fb app so I can't say with certainty. I am going to test and see if deleting either or both apk files stop notifications in the fb app. Based on what you said, sounds like it might.

I'm pretty sure you NEED those apks if you ARE using Facebook. You just need to put the Feeds and Updates Widget back on one of your unused screens.
No, if you're using the Facebook app that you download from the market, you don't need either of those apks.
Just tested notification functionality like I mentioned in my last post, and I am getting them all. Those apks are deleted on my phone.
You'd need to keep those apks if you want the Twitter and Facebook functionality that comes built in on a stock phone.

Does deleting those two apks not affect Latitude updates? I know their separate services but it seems as if Latitude doesn't automatically update correctly when I remove either snsservice or drmprovider.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I just flashed a various of roms to try and fix this problem im having but all seem to cause the same problem (roms from CM9 to Charmeleon 5.0) all stock kernels
Media appears to be using the internet constantly over my 3G.
And when I use betterbatterystats it shows as DownloadManger partial wakelock and it ticks up every second including the number of wake locks.
Thanks heaps
All help is welcome
First thing to try would be to disable all auto-syncing on all accounts, reboot the phone, and see if it stops. Then turn each one on in turn, and see when it re-starts.
As it's clearly not ROM/kernel related, it must be something you are inadvertently setting up each time.
The only Google sync settings I have checked are Calendar, Contacts, Gmail and Google +. All others I do manually. I found having things like Instant Upload and Picasa Web Albums caused to much background activity.
Found it was due to a bug in greader, dev has just released a beta that fixes it
Thanks for you support

The sync will come as disabled if your auto-sync is off. Switch auto-sync on and then try.

I can login using stock browser, so I guess password is not the issue. I am on stock, non rooted phone. Tried restarts, clearing data etc. I guess the only sollution would be factory reset, but ill wait for JB ota, since I do factory resets after each ota
It was working perfect all the time. But one day I started the Twitter app and it said "cannot retrieve post or something like that". After that I tried to remove twitter from my sync account, cleared data, restart phone. Tried to re add Twitter account but when I enter the login info it says "error occurred...try again later"

Problem solved. I can login again. The problem was that in time and date settings I needed to select automatic settings. Weird
