Deep sleep issue?

I've had this phone for 3 weeks now from a vibrant, and so far the battery hasn't balanced itself out. I get maybe a full days use out of it. From what I've read that's pretty good for this phone, but I'd like to be able to get consistent use.
I got a little more curious and decided to install cpu spy and discovered the phone isn't deep sleeping. So my question is, is there an app I should look out for that could possibly be running in the background? I've un installed all bloat that came with the phone, turned off sync, etc.
Any ideas? Or any roms that are touchwiz based that are battery friendly?

What apps do you have installed?
You're still on stock, right?

Heck your running processes to see if anything is running that shouldn't be. Also, there is an app called Watchdog (not the data meter) that can be setup to alert you when an all is using more processes than it should be using.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Yeah fully stock before the ota that was sent out.
I have the same apps I had on my vibrant with an extra game or two.
Mainly gapps, dead trigger, light flow, roku, Nike Running, etc.
I read somewhere that light flow was causing issues when the phone was first released, but so far I haven't seen major drain from that app alone. I turned off accessibility in the respect to light flow just to see if maybe that was the issue a d nothing.
Currently it sits right at 384mz. No idea why.

I forgot about that app. Just installed, I'll try this out and see what I can find.

This app should help you determine what exactly is keeping your device awake and preventing deep sleep.

Not sure what it is as this so the first day I have had this issue but it appears my phone has not gone into deep sleep at all today either. Weird.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Hm, just checked my phone, was interested that maybe the app wasn't reading it correctly.
I remember in the Vibrant, some kernels didn't allow apps to read the correct Deep Sleep stats.
Mine is working fine, 84% on deep sleep.
What ROM are you guys running?

I'm on the latest CM10 nightly and lean kernel. Oh well, time to diagnose.

I've had a couple issues with deep sleep as well. However a reboot to recovery clearing cache and dalvik fixes it.

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

So it seems like I'm not the only one having this issue, which is nice to know.
I ended up just switching to another rom and now it's going to sleep correctly which is nice because my battery is lasting.
Thanks for all the tips!

BetterBatteryStats has done a very good job of monitoring apps/processes that prevents deep sleep.

Right now I'm running Stock sX v2.0. Its pretty good so far. I'm getting pretty similar battery life I had on my Vibrant.

Can't get rid of wakelocks

Battery life was great but all of a sudden now I'm getting horrible battery life, now lasting only 4-5 hours. Based on BetteryBatteryStats, it seems i have a wakelock issue and phone never enters Deep Sleep. I've searched the internet for solutions and have tried several things
- uninstall Google Chrome
- disable autoscroll
- hard reset
- reformat SD card
- get rid of SD card
Im still having poor battery life and even when I turn off WiFi, mobile data, gps etc, phone still never enters Deep Sleep.
Here are some screen shots. Please help!!!

See below

Look at your data usage, good chance that's the originator of the wake lock. I had picasa do that on aosp and tw. It doesn't usually directly show up. But the data usage is how I found it. On tw smdexe can also cause a wake lock with no direct flag

Thanks for replying guys. So wakelocks arent the problem, its the data connection? How can I decrease the AWAKE TIME and get the phone to be able to re-enter deep sleep? How do I fix this data connection issue?
I've tried so many things and this has been incredibly frustrating - thanks for your help in advance and Happy New Year!

If your phone has low or no signal a lot, it'll eat through you're battery.
In your first screen shot... all that red under mobile network signal means NO signal. That's a lot of red.

GPS is on. This would be normal. Your phone constantly polls your location unless you turn it off. Having GPS on only worsens that effect but you get better location pings.

Battery life improved after keeping GPS off. I appreciate the tip. However, the phone still won't enter Deep Sleep. I am using DS Battery Saver which is supposed to force the OS into Deep Sleep while the screen is off but it's not doing it. See screenshots. Anyone know how I can get the phone to Deep Sleep?

I think it's your signal bud. I didn't see anything out of the norm for wakelocks with exception of suspend backoff but that could be anything. I see that your phone has no signal for 99% of your wake time. Since you're saying both your wife's phone and yours are the same I would charge both up, put yours in airplane mode but keep the wifi on and test em. That's the only thing off that I noticed. A few guys have been working hard for battery life on another thread here. I'll link it to ya if you want. That's what I would do anyway, just to rule it out. Your mmc detects are high too and I haven't been able to verify this but I think that has to do with accessing the external SD card.

Home and power button not responsive after root ?

What's up guys. So I rooted my s3 with the qcom toolkit. I noticed that when my phone is asleep, and I try to wake up my phone by pressing the home or power button, its doesn't respond sometimes. I would have to press it couple of times to wake it up. (With obvious reasons I do wait a few seconds to press the home/power button to wake it up). I also noticed that when Im done with a phone call,my screen is black and I can't wake it up. I've had times where I had to pull the battery out. On a side note, my friend with a rooted s3 has these problems occurring as well. In a addition , I'm running paranoid android 2.54 (
Stable). I've also tries liquid smooth to see if it was an issue with the rim,but unfortunately it wasn't. So if anyone noticed this problem after the root please let me know and if you have a solution to this,I'd appreciate it if you can inform me. And sorry if this topic was already covered but I tried searching around and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Root cannot by itself cause problems. The problems you and your friend are having are rom problems. These AOSP roms have bugs. Unable to wake phone is lovingly referred to as the sleep of death.

So from what I've been reading, I have to change the kernel ? I see that it doesn't occur with some people with their stock kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Every phone is different, some might not even be able to boot after flashing some kernels... You need to play with settings UV and OverClock and such and see what works best for you. There are options for profiles; in call, screen off/on, charging, and so on. You are getting issues that are rom/kernel related for the most part, try to fix it within settings mentioned above and good luck.

Looks like you got a wakelock, use better battery stats to see what's causing it. That almost solid blue bar in your 2nd screen shot shows way more awake time than what your screen on time is, awake almost 80% or so of your total uptime

Could Google now location services, such as time to work cards, be causing pipe battery life?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

All that maps stuff will kill your battery, especially if you're inside where gps can't lock fast. I use autostarts to force maps to stay off unless I open them. And yes cards in google now do hit battery pretty hard as well.

Everybody is over looking Mediaserver skyrocketing to the top of the list since this MA7 update. I'm also experiencing a drop in battery. Mediaserver is the cause and u can't seem to find a fix :banghead:
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Yes indeed.
The Google location services is a big user as well, but to turn it off or prevent it's autostart would hinder Google now, at least I would think so.
Good point on the media server. The battery life was better before this update, and I'm sure Google was still hogging battery life. So media server seems to be the problem... Possible.
Could one possible freeze certain apps to eliminate the drain from the media server?

Mediaserver drains battery fiercely due to a bad image file or video file......it keeps trying to read the file. The only fix that I found was to backup your sd card reformat it then add a folder at a time to make sure it doesnt get stuck scanning.

I've found that it is only the network based locating that causes this particular wakelock madness. Turn off network based location and maps behaves fine... Shame really as Google Now is coded to be broken unless Google knows what network your connected to.

I doubt it's any of my files. It never was a problem on LJC. And even now the problem is random. Comes and goes on different boots. I'm thinking maybe Samsung accounts might have to do something with it. A few days ago I noticed it updated a Samsung push service app on its own. In my head that sounds about the same time my problem started.

That's why I use autostarts to disable everything unless I open it manually. Then you don't need to turn off the location services they just don't activate til YOU tell them too. They fully function just like normal only they only function when the app is in the foreground

Lag on Vzw HTC OnE??

Hey guys I just got my HTC One and I have read forums and articles where they say that the HTC One doesnt have any lag. Well idk if I got a defective phone or something but my One has definite lag sometimes especially on the launcher. Does anyone else experience this or is my phone F'd up?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

Now and even when I was on the stock rom, the day it launched, I never got any lag. It might be caused by an app you have running in the background. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the verizon/htc bloatware is causing the lag.

Go to Settings > Apps and slide the screen over to "Running" in there you can see what is currently being used by your phone. It will also show you how much RAM is currently being used.
It might also help uninstalling some of the apps you do not use, like facebook, g+ or whatever else is something not in use. Once we get the write privileges fixed you will be able to remove things like HTC Car and other apps that are installed to the system partition but not actually required for the phone to function.

I'd definitely exchange it. Are you using the car app? If not, it shouldn't be doing anything. And every review says this phone has no lag. The only time i see lag on my note 2 is when play store is updating crap in the background. Always slows things down.

Well actually I tried something and I went back to using a task killer and it seems to be doing the trick. Got rid of the lag and the car app no longer shows up on the running apps. Idk works for now, hopefully we can get this phone unlocked so I can start getting this thing to it's full potential
