Is anyone still working on fixing the "0" network bug (as seen in Spare Parts) that is draining some of us of our precious battery?
That bug was in the Moment also, no one ever fixed it or could tell what it really was, there was another one also, either 0 would be there or the other...

It's not a bug. A bunch of smaller services are all grouped into that. Pretty much anytime your phone uses 3G it gets grouped into that service. That is why if you try to view it in Spare Parts you get an FC. Most services have stopped running and it can't make a proper list. If you have Wifi available, switch it on and watch 0 drop.

The bug has already been marked as something along the lines of being any root app or setting being grouped into that single UID. Im not sure if that goes the same for the Moment but thats the best someone has described it as for the Epic.

I know it has been described as that but it IS a bug if its draining battery using the Network when it shouldnt AND its not happening to everyone. The smaller services are any root apps or settings you may have, which shouldnt be taking up more Network time than something that is more of a data user such as Facebook or YouTube.
Oh, and Ive had Wifi on for hours day after day and its still there.

What makes you think it is draining the battery? There is no way to tell how long it runs for and what services are in it? It is highest in my network usage until I ran email for a few minutes and that was higher. My battery is amazing, so it is not a battery drainer. It is just a bunch of unknown services that are not named.

All those services are using a bit of battery which amounts to a total of more than any other app that uses data that I have. If it wasnt draining battery it wouldnt be at the top and reduce the battery of whoever is affected by it from what Ive seen. It may not be affecting you but it IS a known case out there from what Ive seen in EVERY ROM thread.

If it's at the top of the list under "Network usage", that is not an issue. Pretty much any rooted kernel will display this process "0'" as the highest network user. Now if the bar is solid red, and your "Running" percentage is near or at 100%, then you have a problem. As long as it's not causing a wakelock, there is no cause for alarm.

Again, you have NO IDEA how long they are running...it could be 2 minutes. It is just the most used of your network. Lots of things on your Epic use network services but are not listed...because they are lumped into the 0 service. As Matt pointed out, if it is not red, it is not running constantly. Just because you don't know what something is doesn't make it a bug. This is doing exactly what Google meant for it to do, lump unknown (to the OS) network calls into a single UID. TWS was a real bug because it didn't matter whether you had signal or not, it was always 50%. Kswapd0 is a real bug because it is using CPU.

So I've noticed on the evo that lots of apps like to run in the background and some of them keep a constant network connection causing horrible battery drain. anyone else notice this? no im not on 4g because its not available in los angeles yet. but i do know that the phones idle time sucks. So far I noticed the htc widget downloader likes to keep running
i reread this a couple times and have yet to figure out what you're asking. are you asking something? either way, you really didn't say much.
haha this is a redundant thread.
im just trying to figure out whats causing it to keep a constant network connection...when i go into spare parts it shows network usage at 100% for some app called "0" just seeing if anyone else has noticed this. there was a question you probably missed.
I don't have the phone yet. But it might be a processes that is watching, talking to, or protecting ring 0 which is the highest level of the security state in processor and operating system. See:

according to the app spare parts there is a process called "0" that takes up all of the network usage but I can not figure out where it is or what it is, maybe this is it but why would it take network usage? i mean i constantly see my 3g signal working non-stop

Only have one window open and my internet seems to be draining alot of memory and cpu usage and setting of my watchdog. How do i stop it? Recently cleared all the cache and cookies.
I would also like to know if I find anything out I'll let you know but in the mean time I think it depends on what you are viewing like facebook is an extremely large site with a lot of traffic.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
are you positive it is your internet. many process and apss run in the background so just because you only have internet open at the moment does not mean it is the internet for sure causing the problem.
what watchdog message is comign up when it goes off?
What browser are you using
are you using 3g or 4g
do you always have mobile data (3g or 4g depending on what you are using when the drain is happening) on?
Do yo have a process monitering app such as system panel?
I am going to assume you ahvent gone to that detail yet. I highly recommend getting the paid verion of system moniter if you are having this kind of issue as it lets you run a history of the top apps using cpu/power. it also lets you see a nice battey graph and shows you all process running wether they are active or inactive and how much cpu time they are using.
It makes diagnosing these kinds of problems much easier.
Stop using the internet. This should solve the problem.
Seriously though. Browsing the web with your EVO does all the things that suck the most battery. Graphics, 3G, 4G, Wifi.

It happens in both 3g and 4g. Watch dog pops up and says internet usage is at 71% would u like to close it? I say yes.

Ahhh this is the answer i was looking for ( fart noise ). Pay$ 40 extra a month for internet usage and to be told not to use it. Thats like buying toilet paper and never wiping your ass.
Well I was having horrible battery problems and came across a how to on the web and thought I would share this. Hopefully it hasn't been shared already and I apologize if it has. Its a way to wipe battery stats. MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS AT 100% BEFORE DOING THIS
1. Boot into cwm recovery
2. Scroll to advanced
3. Scroll to clear battery stats
4. Reboot phone
5. wait for your battery to fully die before charging it again
And there you go its a pretty simple fix and is good if you have flashed a lot of roms. The guide said not to do it very often tho so I would be cautious but I did it once and now I am getting almost a day and a half with moderate use out of my stock battery! I have seen a lot of complaints about battery life.
Hope this helps let me know your results as I am new here

If on a new ROM, you probably wiped /data, meaning... no more battery stats.
While I'm not sure if wiping the battery stats works or not, I just posted the following in the thread of the ROM I'm currently using since battery life is a big topic there. This is a guide that I came up with after a couple of weeks of analysis and tweaks:
I'm getting at least 48 hours on my battery now, no lie. I've made it a mission over the past couple of weeks to track down all my wakelocks and get rid of all the unnecessary processes that cause those wakelocks.
After 2+ weeks of analysis using a combo of betterbattery stats, badass battery monitor, and the stock battery info, here's a list of what I've done along with running TDJ's Evo3v7 Rom.
DISCLAIMER: These are my findings for my phone and my setup in my location and my typical usage which have worked for me:
-Make sure screen brightness is set to 'Automatic'
-Use Wifi as much as possible Vs data.
-From what I've read Facebook uses a ton of battery (wakelocks) when syncing in the background. I may be the only person on earth that doesn't have a fb account so I don't have to worry about it on my phone, but just keep that in mind.
-Under Accounts and Sync try to funnel as many accounts as you can THROUGH gmail. In your Gmail account sync only what you need when you need it. Do you really need the browser, contacts, web albums, etc synced. Can you live with manually syncing calendar once a day? Keep it to a minimum.
-Disable everything under Settings > Sound > System (the 4 items at the bottom of that list, keytones, touchsounds, screen lock sound, vibrate on screen tap)
-Make sure if you have a weather app that refreshes automatically to only have it refresh to what you need. Some of these refresh every 15min. Really? Just have it refresh manually or on unlock. I've found that to be fine.
-Make sure you're signed out of Latitude after you use it - if you use it. You can't freeze, uninstall etc, without freezing/uninstaling Maps, so make sure you are not signed into Latitude (or any other location service based apps).
-Location, location, location... Under Settings > Location Services uncheck all 3 options... may need a reboot to 'stick' after unchecking (these are sometimes checked by default when first booting up your device from flashing a ROM or you check them not knowing what all they do (I know I did at first). They are helpful when restoring but are a pain on the battery in daily use. This choice is yours as there are other recovery/restore methods but I've found that I don't need these checked at all. (Sometimes even going to Google.com enables the location service and it gets stuck in perpetual wake state, I've found).
-If you don't use Google Talk, simply remove it. Although I've found that 'GTALK_...' still has wake states even with it removed (phone still communicates with Google servers even when the app is removed), it's not near as much as it used to be.
-Freeze the Maps app - if it's feasible. Maps is one app that runs 100% of the time. Take a look in your 'running apps' and see for yourself. I rarely use my maps so I froze it. Since then, location services processes have dropped dramatically as have my wakelocks associated with location. This alone has helped out my battery tons. If I need to use maps, I simply unfreeze it.
-Finally, download and flash this by eugene373: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...30&postcount=1 This has saved me more battery than most of the things listed above combined.
Hmm your link to Eugene's thread didn't work. But thanks for the info. And I guess that does make sense that wiping data would also wipe battery stats. That's why I'm a little confused about half the people say it works and the other half say it does so I figured I'd try it out

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or not.... But I am experiencing two major problems with my phone:
1) It periodically just drops wifi. I have great signal strength and none of my other devices (and I have a lot) ever behave this way. And I have seen it happen on other wifi spots as well.
2) This one is even worse. I am not able to get more than about 9-10 hours on a charge. Not using the phone *at all*. When I checked what was using the battery power all I saw was normal google stuff, no app itself directly consuming
Mine is a brand new verizon phone.
anyone else experience these? Worth seeing if I can get verizon (or LG) to replace the phone?

Just an update after disabling VZW apps, 22 hours, 17% battery drain. This is on a non activated phone, WIFI on, minimal use). Not a great metric, but much better than with them enabled.

Application Manager. Scroll over to "ALL" tab. Click on the individual apps. It should have the option to Disable near the top. Those apps will be moved to the Disabled tab if you should ever want to enable them in the future.
I always factory reset after leaving a store because their first priority is to get the phone into a usable state and they bypass the Google login to start syncing my information.
The first thing I install is Nova Launcher. To disable Apps, I just click and drag to the desktop for "system info" then uncheck "Show Notification", click "Force Stop", then "Disable".
I just clear out the crap out the App launcher. I haven't gone in through Settings > App Manager and disabled any services or background apps.
I've also had (and still have WiFi issues). Just got my phone replaced today from T-Mobile and my WiFi has intermittently cut out a couple times today already. Perhaps its something that will require a software update to fix.

If I'm understanding the articles, it is an app so carriers can install Bloatware after your purchase. Even after a factory reset. The good, the bloatware doesn't have to be installed and part of the factory ROM. The bad, everything else...
According to a post on Reddit, the small update on ATT was to fix 5ghz Wi-Fi issues. Hopefully all carriers push it.

On VZW I do not have any issue with WiFi, I do however have not so great battery life. I did disable all the useless items I can. I get about 9-10 hours with 1-1.5 hours SOT. Guess it's OK, but would have liked to get more of what others are reporting (3+ hours SOT).
Coming from the G3 on 23C, I did notice that my battery time did drop a bit, so it's not far off of what I had, not going to return the device, just going to deal with it for now.

Dears,
On my op3, which is running with Experience OS and Blue spark Kernel, always the Whats app coming on top of the battery stats even though I opened it less time. It is showing that "Mobile Radio Active" is enabled for hours. I can not switch off the Data while the screen off because it may delay the notifications. I understood that the modem is not disconnecting from data even if the app become not in foreground stage. What ever the app I used for data restriction reduced the Deep sleep time since it were keeping alive in the back end to restrict the data service. Is there any solution to get rid the Mobile Radio Active bug.
No there isn't, it is a known thing since Android Lollipop.

With Whatsapp this is expected. All of Facebooks apps are known to be terrible battery drainers. It is part of the reason that it never took off in the states. Also anything like that will always keep the radio active. It is the nature of the app. As long as you use it then you will get battery drain.

It's nothing Google can do. It is Facebook. The apps is badly coded just like their main app and messenger. As long as you rely on it for messaging (not sure why people do) then you will have to deal with it.

No bro, I don't think it is because of Facebook. I am not using facebook at all. But me too having the issue. I think it is clearly a mobile data modem issue. Mobile radio is not disconnecting even after android system closed the foreground app. Only android devs can resolve it.

You miss the fact that whatsapp is a facebook app. Owned and written by facebook.
If mobile data disconnects then you would not get notified. Data is how that app works.
If you do some research you will find this to be true.
Again this is how messaging apps work. It doesnt seem like you have alot of experience in mobile OS programming.
My advice would be to use a different app like Telegram. This is what most of the world uses. As to whats app is mainly used in developing countries but not much outside of them.

Yes but if you look closely he is not using the device. And to be honest, I don't think it's real. I have never seen android display something when there is no usage like for the GPS in that screen shot.
I know it can last for days without using it as that is what happens to my device on the weekends. I unplug it sat morning and only use it when someone calls me and I don't have to plug it back in until Monday morning. Mind you that is really not using the phone much at all.
it has got no fix yet. May be this goes away in Oreo.
Sorry if someone has already pointed this before.. But have u tried turning the data saver mode on?
Once ON, make sure you disable unlimited data for Google play services and whatsapp.. (in settings, app, data usage)
I tried it and somehow it worked
