In better battery stats, what is *overflow*

My nexus is getting absolutely killed battery wise, and the partial wakelock is mostly with this *overflow* service/process. Does anyone know what it does and how to get rid of it?

Nobody knows?

Maybe an app you've installed? Look for it on settings. It should be there.

Type "overflow betterbatterystats" into google and the second and third links may help you.
They are talking about an app causing it but I'll leave you read it yourself.

Yep I did the google thing. nobody really knows.

Try eliminate apps one by one.
Freeze one, see if it is the cause, if not then move on to the next.

Thanks I guess. Was hoping for more but I think I might be the pioneer on this one.

Afraid so.
But at least in the future when someone searches for overflow your solution will be there for them! Good deed for the day!

Did you get anywhere with this? It looks like I'm having the same issue too. I've only got a few apps installed on many sgs 3.
ics browser +
Spotify
G strings (music tuner)
Color note
Beautiful widgets.
Thanks.

Same here. I get this issue from time to time with my galaxy nexus. I have to reboot to get it to go away.

Ist it possible that lightflow is The Bad app .
It will logical. Cause the wakelocks are everytime when a message is coming in lightly send a command to the light notification to go on.
I think that's the app in my wakelocks.
I ll try it out.

I have the same entry with overflow on my galaxy s3. but from the list 3 posts up I only habe Beautiful widgets installed. and many other apps. I haven't installed lightflow.

I've not had this return after removing beautiful widgets. My only other offender for random high battery usage is a gtalk process, which I understand is related to google sync rather than the app itself (which has since been removed).

today I have the "overflow" process since many days back. The last weeks I had not this issue. Today I updated many apps in the market and remove "google googles".
And now, there it is. the "overflow" process is back.
Beautiful widgets is no more on my phone. I use now fancy widgets and many other programs.
I think this is a sporadic problem. I reboot my phone and looks forward.

Reboot doesn't help to remove :crying:
Why the hell the process is back.

i have the same with S3, any updates ?

not on my side.
the android 4.1 is out. but at this time only on kies. I have'nt try it out. but i think it is an user installed application that goes to "overflow"
it looks like the battery live time is the same without the overflow, so i ignore it

Have you tried posting here?

I'm fairly convinced it was Beautiful Widgets causing my problem.
I also found Samsung Sync was an offender for increased battery usage, disabling it has increased battery life from 2 and a bit days to 3 and a bit.

Someone Kill My Wakelocks!

I am on The People's ROM GS3.17 5/11/13,
I am using KTweaker's kernel, and ever since I install the ROM (coming from an AOSP ROM), I'm getting these wakelocks and it's super annoying. My phone used to deep sleep like a baby and now nothing does!

Well the answers simple. Uninstall Battery Guru.
In my experience it doesn't really do anything.

I had the same issue and once I uninstalled Battery Guru it was fine.

I third the advise uninstall battery guru and its not that it doesn't do anything, it does it keeps doing things in the background keeping processes running and using resources and battery.

Okay but what other applications should I delete? Battery Guru is only a recent installation (as of 2 days ago)

Anyone else?

Well from the looks of it, that and the weather widget are giving you the most wake locks.

I'm just reporting what I see. It's up to you to decide what you actually end up doing.

You have Beautiful Widgets too, maybe you could use that instead for weather. There are a lot of skins for the widget. Also Lux seems to be waking up your phone a lot, perhaps you could get rid of that too.

But Lux is a battery saver isn't it? It periodically adjusts the brightness levels (it's not like auto-brightness)

Turn auto brightness off and set you screen brightness to the lowest possible you can tolerate. Any app that is running is a battery consuming app. Also BBS should be frozen if your not using it to diagnose an issue the least you have running the better off you are.

I had really bad battery performance when I was using Lux. It does seem to adjust brightness levels in an adequate way, but if I recall correctly, I was getting a lot of wakelocks when I had it. So while it probably was saving battery due to better screen usage, it was killing me in the deep sleep department.
Just my experience with it.

I will do that then for sure.

I could suggest Greenify for your installed apps (not system apps). But with the alarms it looks like you set alarms in your stock clock and on your 3rd party clock which is what could cause some wake locks

So I keep getting these wake locks when my phone should be in deep sleep. Caused my phone to drop 25% over night with no activity. I've done research on it but most of it says that this app is for your apps that sync. I've checked my syncs and everything seems Ok. Is there anyone that can shed a little more light on the subject?

ResurrectionRemix wakelocks, any help?

Okay:
I have narrowed down my wakelock issue a fair bit. The only ROM (my favourite rom that I actually want to use, lol)
Resurrection Remix wakelocks - the ones I get are below:
*alarm* Google Play Store
Google Play Services *alarm* and "Icing"
Gmail "Icing"
And any apps open even Facebook, Instagram, Google maps - they all just stay awake.

Google Play Store and Google Play Services are being held awake under Settings > Battery as can be seen when I press on them, they're awake for hours.
I've tried turning them off in Privacy Guard
Now; I've tried BJRR, RR official, RR Sultan-ized, Old Naman RR build
All of these USED to work, then out of nowhere they've done this wakelock stuff. Also, I've used gapps packages old and new, pico.
I've tried the exact RR build I had before and gapps package and this was how it used to be:
Now; it's always 0.6-1.2% and I have no idea what has changed to cause such issue.. I've tried the wakelock blocker in RR too.
If someone can fix this issue; without me having to dowloand apps, and so on (I mean,. it worked before, so why should I need to download apps/change things?) I will send you money. Seriously, cos this is driving me nuts

No help you evil lads.

Still trying.
I've noticed in Settings > Battery
And then the list of usage.
GMAIL, Google Play Store, Cyanogen System/Android System, Google Play Services
All "Held Awake" for hours.
Why? and what can I do

Still nothing.
tried again today, same thing.
Android system stays awake when asleep.
*alarm* (com.android.vending.Google Play Store)
also that, and every app stays awake when sleeping for like 20-30% of the time, and if i go to bed for 7 hours, they are awake like 4 hours it says.

One last try before I go to bed?! lol.

Are you using amplify?

Nope, never have.
The phenomenon is unexplainable, happens on all versions of RR now where as before it didn't - doesn't happen on Nuclear, CM, OOS, etc.

I have had the *alarm* wakelock in numbers > 1000 within 3-4 hours on OOS. I found a reddit post which said that these were like placeholders for blocked wakelocks and alarms.
Now I have removed amplify completely and I get 0.5-0.6% idle drain on OOS lite with Greenify only. Ironically with amplify, the drain was about 1% per hour

RR has an inbuilt wakelock blocker right? That could cause it if I'm right.

Standby Drain Problem - can't find the reason

Hey guys,
i recently got a HTC 10 cause Ive dropped my Galaxy S7 in water. (insurance)
Besides that the HTC is noticeable faster, the standby drain drives me crazy.
HTC 10 @ Viper ROM with elementalX Kernel
1) What the hell is "BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3"? in 16 hours, it causes over 600 wakelocks per hour. Maybe this is my draining problem? In the Battery Historian screenshot you can see, that my phone is constantly doing something because of this process.
2) Why is there an "unknown" entry at "Kernel Wakeup Reasons"? 287 per hour... wtf?
3) In GSam you can see, that "Android OS (Kernel)" is (always) the top process...

Thankyou in advance, i can't find more tools to analyze this strange behaviour....
Edit: so i checked Battery Historian with active/inactive WiFi... and what do I see? Yep, much less wakeups from BatteryServiceUpdateStats3 & generally less Wakelock time..... why???

You might have this problem. I have it too and it's infuriating. I've pretty much stopped using WiFi unless I'm charging. Really spoiled my experience with this phone.

Do you have "ok google" hot word detection enabled? That was causing me some serious wakelocks, and I had forgotten I had enabled it to play with, it's usually not something I use or want. I'm still not sold on Google Home being a good thing because google knows everything there is to know about me. I'd rather some devices not know the pitch of my farts or where my girlfriend hides her phone when she has no pockets.
My battery life was still pretty decent though, amazing actually considering it was staying awake and always ready for my next command, but I know with it not running it will be much better.

You could have shown more infos from Battery Historian
If you wanna know what a proper Standby looks like, you can take a look at mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...ark-thread-t3376159/post68929720#post68929720
but yeah.... there are a FEW known issues with HTC10 Standby....
A) 4g might cause more Batterydrain than 3G, but that was an early issue, and mainly on American Carriers.
B) WiFi does have shîtload of wakeups you cannot control. ExKernel has wlan_rx and wlan_ctrl divier options, set both to 8 (maximum) might help.
C) If you have Access to your router, maybe deactivating IPv6 can reduce WiFi Battery Drain.
To your 3 Questions.....
1)Already answered here:

Power Nap [Xposed Module] also blocks them. But it doesn't matter. Because they do not wake the phone, they happen when the phone gets awaken by something else.
Check this out (With Power Nap enabled and What's app excluded)
As you can see, almost no Userspace Wakelocks:
As always Google Services is the only thing you simply cannot shut up, no matter what
But yeah, the Problem is on the Kernel Level....
You see a Normal Wake due to an UserSpace Wakelock:
And one that's happening due to Kernel:
So as long as you have these Kernel wakes, the BatteryServiceUpdateStats_3 will activate at the same time. Batterylife itself is not really affected.

2) Wish i knew what these Unknown Wakeups are.... Wish i knew!
3) i don't really like GSAM, i prefer BetterBatteryStats.
What does the Battery Historian say about CPU usage by App?

Hi, did you find any solution? same thing is happening in my lenovo k6 power but only when i use jio sim. if i don't use sim there is no battery drain in standby. check my attached screenshot of battery historian.

Hi try to reinstall other kernel, im using CleanSlate v2.2.0 now so far superb. and also install htc bost to sure not eat so much RAM usage.
Last time using elemental kernel but im lazy to configure, therefore battery drain quite fast even in standby mod.

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 ?)
