app that turns off data on screen lock?

Hey all,
I tried searching but came up empty, is there an app that specifically turns off data when you turn your screen off or lock the phone? I read that juicedefender does this but was wondering if there was a app that is designed to turn off certain things when locking phone.
thanks!

Well you basically said it...you can use juice defender, or look into the tasker app.

Juice Defender ftw

I've been looking into this same issue. After looking around and getting some advice from another xda member, I went with juice defender which has been outstanding so far.
If you heavy, heavy usage, you won't really notice a difference. However, if you use your phone, set it down for a while, use it again, let it sleep... all throughout the day, you will notice a significant increase in battery life. The first day I installed it, I sent a text while I was at work and then set my phone down. I grabbed it almost 3 hours later for something and it had gone down 1%.

While JuiceDefender IS designed to save battery life and such, it is designed to do just that. Meaning in order to save battery life, it disables and enables certain connections when the screen is off/locked etc.

I totally agree with you on the type of usage. If your screen is constantly on you probably won't notice a difference. Juice Defender saves battery when your phone is inactive.

doesnt the evo already have a disable always on mobile data option?

If you're on Sense, there's a widget for it. On MIUI, it's in the pull down bar toggles

The screenshots i've posted shows that data is disabled, but the JuiceDefender icon in the notification area is saying that all connections are enabled.

Sorry to be a very late reply, but...
Does JuiceDefender turn off Mobile Data while wifi is connected?
I only ask because i have installed it, and it doesn't seem to be doing this for me.
Seems odd, because i don't need Mobile Data on while wifi is on.

Well if it doesn't do it jus go into connection settings and turn it off or if the ROM your running has quick settings in the pull down see if mobile network is there if it is just uninstall juice defender and make it a routine to click that before you put your phone down or in your pocket

[Q] PowerManagerService wakelock

I am monitoring my battery through BetterBatteryStatus. I see that the PowerManagerService kernel wakelock is keeping my phone from going to sleep. It keeps the phone on for nearly 120 mins in a day. Any idea of what that could be? I suspect that it is due to the Smart Stay feature of Galaxy S3 and I just disabled it now.

I'm getting this on CM 10.1, so no power stay. Wondering what it is too though.

PowerManagerService is basically a catch-all for partial wakelocks (wakelocks requested by non system apps). To see which apps are actually requesting the wakelocks, go to the Partial Wakelocks screen.

Is there any way to drill down this service and detect what exactly is draining the battery?

Use Better Battery Stats. instead of looking at the Kernel Wakelocks, switch it to partial wakelocks, and if I understand correctly, the sum of the partial wakelocks is effectively the powermanagementservice wakelock

Just wanted to say that i too had a lot of partial wakelocks draining battery on my SGS3 CM11 (using ART) but I've managed to solve the problem via cleaning the cache in settings->storage. Since then, the CPU is awaken only 19% of time and my batt last 5/6 days with WiFi, Now etc.. (I have a 7000mh zerolemon)

Have you seen any benefits by switching to ART?
If I clean the cache, what will it delete? Will I lose all my App settings and game levels? I have about 54Mb in there.

I just tried clearing and a message came up saying "Security policy restricts clearing of this app's cache."
Is this normal? How can I find out which app is causing the problem?

I have a Samsung galaxy note 2 and every time I lock lock my phone it suddenly turns right back on. It's been happening for two days now. I've tried factory reset and hard reset.. nothing seems to work. Looked at several forums but none seem to help either. Use wake lock app and it says this ..see attachment

Same here with various audio partial wakelocks that add up to 12 days of kernel wakelocks. This started when I upgraded to:
gapps-kk-20140606 & cm-11-20140611-snapshot-m7-snapshot kernel 3.0101-cyanogenmod-g329d6a1 build03 #1
I have gmail sync disabled but contacts sync on. I notice CM have added apollo to the lockscreen so this could be a bug I need to search for

@kmry Gave you resolved your battery drain issue?
I'm on HTC 10 and have the same issue with huge amounts of wake locks. The device basically never goes into deep sleep.

Phone never sleeps when screen is off?

I am currently running liquidsmooth RC7 and the problem I'm having is that my phone never sleeps and that causes me to lose a lot of battery even when the screen is off. Before putting my phone on charging, my battery life is about 60 percent remaining on 7 and a half hours total with about 1 and a half hour of screen time.
Here's some info
Can't sleep

Get the Better Battery Stats app from the market and use it to figure out what's wakelocking your phone. Either freeze, uninstall, change sync settings, or limit auto starts on the problematic apps.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Please hit thanks if I helped.

Better Battery Stats is the way to go. I had the same issue on Liquid Smooth RC7. You need to look for the partial wake locks after unplugged. The biggest changes I made was to change syncing on most apps to 3-4 hours. I can now get a deep sleep nearly indef. You will find a couple OS based wake locks that are triggered by apps you have running. just have to week them out one at a time. I can get two days straight off the phone with minimal use.

I just installed version 1.11.00 and it says no reference set yet.

My media would cause my phone not to deep sleep so I would have to force close it. BBS helped me locate that

You need to pick one on the main screen of the app. This option is the one that allows you to pick certain things like Since Unplugged, Since Boot, Since Screen Off, etc. This is the "reference" point from which BBS will show you wakelocks from. For the other option, you're most likely looking for "Partial Wakelocks". It's also gonna take some time to gather stats. For a quicker check, I usually use Since Unplugged, plug my phone in, make sure music and other foreground apps are closed, unplug it, don't use the phone, and check BBS in an hour or two. Check the XDA thread for the app if you have more questions about it. I just know the basics of the app. ~_~

Try scanning both SD cards for bad media files, then running a checkdisk on them if you have Windows, if you haven't tried that. It fixed my media scanning issues.

No reference is usually from it not having a start point. Meaning you have to let it charge to 100% then unplug it with BBS running. Or if you just installed it, plug it in and unplug it. It will start from there.
"Since Unplugged" it the setting to use. Along with partial wake locks. I also highly suggest the 2x2 widget that goes with it. Just tap on it for a refresh of the new info. Will display how long you've been in each state.

What I did was I download juice defender and I under clock it when I lock/put it to sleep and before I go to sleep I close the applications that take a lot of ram. Overall when my phone goes to sleep it only loses around 1-5 percent which is way better than lossing 30%-50% every night

Google Maps-GPS consuming battery time even when turned off

If I turn on the GPS, do some navigation or maps and then I turn it off the GPS, google maps keeps draining battery, like in this picture (not mine)

If I open use details, the GPS keeps running seconds, even when turned off.
Only fixes when reboot.
Currently using AOKP 4.2.2.

As you mention here on basis of that Sir,i would like to tell you that try making app forced closed and check,because sometimes app like Google Maps or may be Google+ they try to run on background in order to get accurate results,my advice is to use Greenify to hibernate your app,it will not drain your battery or simply just force closed after each use.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but force closing nor greenify solves the problem.
It's weird since the GPS is disabled but keeps showing battery running time

Sir,as far as i know than only remaining issue related to your rom's kernel because it might happen that unsuitable kernel drains battery more faster than ever you could imagine.
That's why i only use those ROM which i think more like stable and smooth along with Awesome kernel regarding battery work.:good:
Hint:Turn off display basically for android is hibernate mode,in which phone usually in standby mode so battery remains that much as much you have seen last time or may be few percent less but not that huge as in your pic shown.
Try flashing different ROM,like for now i'm using CM11 Mustaavalcosta's kernel which is quite stable since first day for me to use it daily basis.
Give a try but make backup first.
Thanks.

Sorry for replying so late and thanks for your reply.
I've been very busy with my final exams.
The only thing that annoys me is the GPS running time even being turned off.
At the moment I fix it rebooting the phone as I don't use the GPS frequently but is very annoying.
When I have enough time I'll test other builds/kernels.
Thank you.

Battery drains fast ( + screenshots)

Hi,
I noticed lately that my battery is draining fast. Like 1 percent for 50 minutes (In the best case) when the phone is on airplane mode and I don't touch it at all.
When I actually use the phone it goes down to like 2-3 minutes to 1 percent of battery.
I don't have root at all but used my PC to gain access for Wakelock Detector and as you can see in the pic I got 30 minutes of malwarebytes (I have the premium version with real time protection)
But usually Whatsapp is the one on the top with the most time on CPU
I have a few screenshots of Wakelock Detector in CPU, Wakeup triggers, and kernel wakelock. And almost a screenshot from AccuBattery app. I hope I can get to the solution with your help
Also I heard about AKT that you can get 7-14 screen time hours with it. Can I use it on my device? (of course after I root it)
Thanks in advance

you should uninstall malwarebytes if you want battery drain to stop. malwarebytes is malware by itself
And then, you may want to tweak whatsapp, it consumes too much power

How can I tweak whatsapp?
Btw I noticed that when I close whatsapp my battery is pretty normal so I think whatsapp is the main cause. I got pretty good battery even when malwarebytes was on and whatsapp always seems to take most of the battery bt AccuBattery app.

So 50 minutes for 1% with apps running isn't bad... And I see you're connected to network with two bars on 4G is that LTE or HSPA variant like TMobile does? 2 bars is going to drain your battery because your modem is going to keep trying to get better signal.. none of your screen shots show you in airplane mode as well

I said that I tried to put the phone in airplane mode and even closed all no-system apps with greenify but even then the battery went down 1 percent every 50 minutes.
Btw can resetting the device can work?
If I will choose reset it I will unlock the bootloader and root the phone too
And I still don't know if I can use AKM on my phone with snapdragon 845 after & after the phone is rooted)

Of course no, if you'll continue to use watsapp.
How to tweak it must be described in general android discussions, I bet there's plenty of advices

Lol I accidentaly commented from another device so it's a different account. Anyway, do you think the problem appears because it's Whatsapp Plus (which has a kind of malware in it which stoles data, but still I decided to keep it because of the features) or it's like that in normal whatsapp too?
If I will root my phone I will be able to find an alternative for the Whatsapp Plus features while using the normal whatsapp from the playstore so just wanted to know if whatsapp has this wakelock problem globaly (Don't know if this is the place, tell me where I can open a thread on it if this isn't the place ?)
