Anyone else having trouble with Miren Browser running in background? The last two days watchdog has notified me that it is running unusually high. Watchdog has never notified me about anything else ever so I don't think that is broken but does any one else run Watchdog and have any luck with it?? Side note though even if it is running does not seem to be effecting battery life 10.5 hours and still have 68%. But I would always like better if possible.

has anyone had a problem like this? i have had pretty awful battery life overall and bought the extended battery. have been having consistent battery life until today. i am constantly getting a battery drain today with minimal usage of the phone. i have probably lost like 50% of the battery today with the screen off and not being used. havent downloaded anything except amazon's app of the day this morning, which i subsequently uninstalled. haven't played any games, viewed maybe 10 web pages, sent about 100 sms messages, uploaded 3 pictures to the web (from the phone). most data usage was on wireless. cant figure out anything in particular that i thought would do it. bought modern combat 2, nova 2 hd and some other gameloft game yesterday but downloaded the files for them yesterday. tried rebooting with no difference after i rebooted.
anyone else have any insight? thanks!
Have you checked your battery usage in settings?
screen and android OS are the most, which is what it usually shows. nothing else unusual shows up and nothing suspicious is on the list either
Try opening the camera app, and closing it again.
Ever since I updated my phone to stock 4.0.4, it's not been the same buttery smooth Epic Touch that it used to be on Gingerbread. Sometimes the lags gets so bad that the phone would restart itself. I have done a reformat and things have been going smooth for about 2 months and it has started lagging again now. Right now I am running minimum 3rd party apps, and only limited to reputable ones such as Facebook and whatnot. The CPU Spy shows the phone is in deep sleep most of the time. Android OS still takes up about 90% of battery usage. I made sure nothing is hogging up the ram in task manager and clear memory 2-3 times a day. Yet, it still lags like crazy especially while typing or turning the screen off.
Can anyone chime in on what else could be causing this?

since you mention facebook what's your sync situation like? just a suggestion as I remember similar threads where constant syncing was causing issues... if android os is using that much battery something is amiss... its just a matter of figuring out what...

FB's refresh interval is set to 1 hour. Is that what you are referring to?

Welcome to ics. I get the same thing and have tried everything. Good news is they are pumping out new builds pretty quick to hopefully they are working out all the kinks.

try a different rom.
I'm not sure how long I've been having this issue, but Instagram is draining my battery no matter how little I use it. It seems to stay running in the processes and then eventually stosp itself, even though I see no explainable wakelocks. Sometimes, I have to force stop it myself. Clean Master usually notifies me that it's draining battery, so I know it's not me. Anyone else having problems like this?
Yeah, IG is a battery drainer at times.. Happens with both my S3 & S4, but as long as you swipe it from the recent apps it won't drain battery, that's what I've been doing for quite a while.. Can't believe they haven't fixed this yet
Hi there! So ever since upgrading to the newest version of android, Chrome eats my battery like candy. It sort of helped for a little bit after I did a factory reset, but not long after, Chrome started eating my battery like candy. I'm talking 54% use, so if I go to check anything at all with chrome, I'll be lucky to get 5 or 6 hours of battery for the day unless I'm constantly force stopping the app. I'm wondering if this is the product of malware of some kind? Or has chrome for mobile devices just turned to sh!te since the newest version and should be disabled (which I would hate because I like that chrome is cross platform with browsing history and all)? I'm not rooted, completely stock. First phone I haven't rooted or done anything with in ages.
I have had this issue basically since I got my Pixel XL. I rooted and put on EX kernel as soon as they were available, so I don't know if the issue existed prior to that.
Basically, whenever GPM is not even playing music, and the notification is dismissed, CPU 1 and sometimes 2 (both little cores), will remain at 1.6GHz, with CPU 1 staying near 100% usage. CPUs 3 and 4 will show relatively low usage, near 10%-20%, but will constantly hover near their maximum 2+GHz clock speeds.
For awhile I didn't know what was causing this. One day I started killing apps and checking System Monitor each time to see what affected it. Eventually I determined it was GPM. Without fail, every time this issue is present, if I just open up Recent Apps, or the application manager, and swipe away or force close GPM, my phone immediately goes back to normal operation.
This is an annoying way to have to fix this. I use GPM several times a day.
Having to kill the app, and remember to do it, is ridiculous. Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't seen it posted anywhere. I don't even have a clue of what could be going on or how to resolve it.
Hey buddy, I've been having the same issue for a couple months now as well. I'm using a Note 4, so it's not specific to your phone. I have not been able to find any fix though :/ Have you had any luck?
Unfortunately, it seems it's not a widespread issue, not too many people complaining on the interwebz.
Question to you guys. Does GPM show up in your battery stats? It does not show up in mine but I am not getting good battery life. I have the regular Pixel, am not a heavy user, and can't get through a full day without a charge mid day. Wondering if this issue is causing my bad battery life?
Thank you.
I use GPM on my way to and from work and don't have any issues with it.
I have the same problem on the oneplus 3T. Core 3 and 4 runs at maz 24/7 while playing google play music.
