I'll most likely get flamed here, but I need an answer. Running CM9 Alpha 5 with BBS (Betterbatterystats) installed. I go to settings>battery>Andriod OS. I'm seeing keep awake greater than screen on times. It's almost a 2:1 ratio, i.g. 2 hour keep awake to 1 hour screen on. My question is...is the sum of all "keep awake" the total of all BBS'S partial and kernal wakelocks?
Yes plus the display time. I average the same. Just got paid Titanium app to freeze some services to try to improve that some.
OK, awesome... Thank you for responding!

Can you suggest what services are OK to freeze for others than use the paid app?

I use memory booster lite and watch the task killer to see what keeps popping up. I don't use Gtalk on my phone so I freeze that. Unless I plan on running audio through headphones I freeze DSP Manager and DRM services. Freeze Maps if you are not using GPS for awhile. I use K9 mail so freeze Exchange and Email, also Face Unlock. Hope this helps.

Freezing Exchange/Email/Face Unlock didn't help at all.

Yes..stupid stock email has no option to show pictures all the time. Even GB defaults to show pictures. K9 allows you to set that option. It is much faster loading graphic emails as well.

I have 4 accounts and have it set to never sync. I manually check them twice a day. For some reason gmail don't care about that and comes through no matter what.

Since vodafone are starting enforcing their data allowance limits in October, I've been keeping a closer eye on my data usage and was surprised to see that, some days, I'm using 60-70mb. I knew that I was actively using a fraction of that so it had to be something running in the background.
I've got things like facebook and seesmic set to update once an hour and most other things set to manual or once a day updates. Most heavy data use apps like Spotify and Guardian Anywhere are set to only update over Wifi so I couldn't figure out what it might be.
After some searching, I managed to find an app which can break down data usage per app. It turns out that, in the space of a few hours, Calendar used about 20mb just running in the background. I'm guessing this is an HTC sense problem rather than an android issue with just keeping my gmail account in sync, since gmail and contacts aren't pulling down anything like the same amount of data.
Does anyone know how to set refresh intervals for calendar without affecting the other gmail account sync data? The only options I can find is straight on/off with no frequency options.
I'm rooted and using stock rom, since I prefer stability and even the most stable custom roms tend to have a few quirks here and there, but I cant afford so much data to be squandered when it doesn't need to be so might switch, but in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions? I tried searching the forum but it doesn't seem like there's anyone else having the same problem.

Hi, would you mind posting a link to this app? I have the same problem and have searched for something to break down usage per app but couldn't find anything. Thanks, Stoatie
Wow! Now THAT explains everything and why I was averaging 50-70mb/day as well! I'm also watching my data usage, so thank you so much for this post...
As for an answer, my best advice for now....remove the tick that allows your calendar to sync with your gmail account. The only reason you need to sync your accounts is if you frequently use the web app and as a backup option. So, you can turn off that and your contacts sync and everything will still stay as is and save you precious data. Then you can sync everything once a day or every couple of days if you're into flashing roms or are prone to lose phones, etc.
Hope that helps...I'm about to try out and watch my data usage as well!

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.

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.

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.

Force Close the app and reopening it also does the trick if you do not feel like clearing cache and the like. It will work for a few and be fine then go right back to doing it.
Yeah, I've gotten this on pretty much every Android device I've owned. Pretty common problem and I wish Google would fix it. I just force close, clear cache..then resend.

settings/apps/find Gmail click on it and you can clear cache from there
I've had this happen a couple times before too. The first time, I didn't even know about it until my sister mentioned she never got a reply for so and so email even though I clearly remembered replying to it a week before that. So I went into the app and looked at my outbox and there was about 7 or 8 emails stuck in there that couldn't be set.
Made me a bit mad to say the least. And a year later, we are still having this issue.

I only ever had that problem with stuck outbox when I had a battery saver program "juice defender" running. Works perfectly ever since I stopped using and uninstalled the battery saver app. I read in another thread that those apps do more harm than good.
+1 to clear cache and data
I have had this happen, in over a thousand or so sent emails, four times, it was the same day, and only on 3g trying to send photos as attachments for work.
This has never happened when on wifi. I want to clarify that I use both gmail and the samsung included email app (I like it better for multiple gmail account usage for a few reasons I wont go into here). The samsung app, though it takes longer to load emails (even on wifi) I just like the feel of it better. Gmail sending is usually instantaneous, both apps have been super stable for me, I have adjusted their settings to run to my ideals, which includes hourly pings.

Hey, can someone shed some light as to why Clear Cache button is greyed out in the Gmail application? All I have is Force close and Uninstall updates. Everything else is unavailable.

I think it's google though not the phones
Hi all,
I have being searching for hours but I have not yet found my particular problem. Currently I am using the Juggernaut 5.0 Rom / Bullet v2-9b Kernnel.
I use the stock email app for all my emails and lately I have being experiencing an issue that never happened before with the social hub preventing the phone from going to sleep. It is in fact keeping the phone awake the entire time the phone is idle.
I have done some testing of my own, and realized that the problem is mostly triggered after rebooting the phone. On Better Battery Stats Partial Wakelocks - Since unplugged, I have com.seven.Z7.WakeLock.Alarms and underneath is says com.seven.Z7.Social Hub. This wakelock was awake 100%.
I went to sleep with the phone fully charged, rebooted it, and left it idled. When I woke up 7 hours later, I found the battery at 42%.
Could anyone please explain why the social hub is staying awake after a reboot?
What can I do to prevent this from happening?
Does it have anything to do with the Rom or Kernnel?
Thanks!

However, freezing Social Hub 7.52.10101 (icon-envelope/blue S), it does not let the stock mail app function.

Well, I really like using the stock email app. However, I hate the fact that com.seven.Z7.WakeLock.Alarms | com.seven.Z7.Social Hub stay awake after every reboot. I have to manually stop it everytime. If I forget, it will keep the phone awake the entire time.
Is there anything else I can possibly do to prevent the wakelock com.seven.Z7.WakeLock.Alarms | com.seven.Z7.Social Hub from auto starting and/or staying awake after each reboot?
Uninstall it, I did and my corp email and pop3 still work.
AP Mobile is another one I uninstalled... and buddy now... and a bunch more.

Hello Guys, I just brought an S3 and I was looking at my o2 account and I've used nearly 300mb off data in 5 days and my allowance is only 1gb.
I had looked at my data usage and saw that its the facebook app that is using the most I was wondering how to limit the app to use little data.

Think this is a QA section question but if you go into the facebook app and settings- refresh interval and change this to your liking.

Go to Facebook Settings, change Refresh Interval to Never, Location Service to Off and Contact Sync to No Sync.
Remember, you still will get Push Notifications and data shall be used only that which you do it foreground.

Hi there!
Try an app called "whats local today" for accessing facebook, google+, linked in, twitter, tumblr on 1 screen itself, just a tap away.
Its a new style browser for mobile devices. I use an iPhone 5s, 'WLT' works best for me. 50% less data use compared to actual fb app.
No push notifications though!
