[Q] CodenameAndroid + Franco.Kernel M6 = Horrible Battery Drain? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After upgrading to Milestone6 and running the latest CNA 3.6.6, my phone has HORRIBLE battery drain while in deep sleep. I have looked at startup programs, BBS, CPU spy and I can't find anything showing what is causing it. I reverted back to r284-test and everything is working smoothly and no issues. The drain usually happens on wifi (overnight ~30% decrease) I can't figure anything out.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, anyway to fix it?
Thank for any help out there

get gsam from the playstore, that should tell you exactly what it is

After some tinkering around, flashing new roms and such... I have come to find out it was Tasker. It has never done it before but I had a profile set to when "I come home, turn on wifi" It worked on the other roms, so I made no changes. It found it through the cell towers, but for some reason, it would turn my wifi on/off throughout. Removed that profile and inturn am using Llama for my location based issues. Seems to be working just fine now.

CNA'm using 3.6.6 + stable trinity 63, the battery is long lasting one and a half ...

CPU won't go to deep sleep after certain time

Tried CM9 RC2 and Full Throttle 7.1, the same thing happened:
I unplug my phone in the morning after browsing for a few things, then left the phone basically idle for a few hours. Then use it for a few minutes of different activities. For the first few hours the phone goes into deep sleep, after I use it for a few minutes the phone will refuse to go into sleep again, awake until I restart it.
I have been using CPU Sleeper to force the phone into sleep, doesn't really help at all.
Any clue?

Thanks! it's a great app! trying it now!

not yet, seems behaving as expected after installing the app. Still deciding between CM9 RC2 and Full Throttle 7.1, so may need a couple more trials to point things out.

Battery drain on JB!

Is anyone else having big battery drain since updating to JB? I used to get 2 full days now i can't get 16 hours my phone is staying awake. I'm stock unrooted using juice defender plus. Thanks in advance.
I don't get as much battery I get about 8-14 hrs with 2-4 screen in time I use to get 10-20 hr with 3-4 hr screen on time. I hope they realise a update to help fix the issue seems like quite a few are having.

Yes. I suspect you're probably having the same problem as me. Ever since upgrading to JellyBean, the battery is horrible. Checked BetterBatteryStats, and it's because of msm_otg, it's constantly hitting the device with kernel wakelocks. If I look at CPU states, my phone has been in 384 MHz for 97% of the time, deep sleep 0% of the time. Since it's not sleeping, the battery is draining much faster.
It has something to do with USB on-the-go, but I can't figure it out.
I am having opposite experience. I am getting incredible(to me) battery life. Fully charge yesterday at 430pm and this morning after a bit of texting and calls, battery is at 80%. Pretty good and should be able to get at minimum 1.5 days usage out of it at current rate.
Also, disable Google Now. That's known to be a huge batt drainer.

Thanks, we'll see how it goes from here.
Did notice my battery was draining more before JB. Once I downloaded JB my battery seemed to drain worse. Finally figured out it was Nova launcher, so switched back to TW and battery is back to normal, with google now on, mainly just get traffic and weather for now.

I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The battery drain continues even after disabling Google Now uninstalling Facebook, pandora and other apps and turning off gps, bluetooth. Andriod OS is staying awake and killing the battery. In data usage delete apps is running in the background at 43 mb? Anyone else?
For me it started with LI3 then into JB.
I noticed Media was at the top of my list when i checked what apps were using battery.
So i ended up disabling the com.sec.android.providers.downloads and so far i think this has helped get my device back to normal battery life..

I don't like any apps that are supposed to save your battery. they usually contribute to battery drain. get better battery stats and see what's causing wakelocks. it's probably location services related to google now. when you don't need it, turn off gps AND location services

Here's a possible problem http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__2690#entry750372
I would be more concerned with partial wakelocks first, then kernel wakelocks second
enable restrictions and make sure your wifi isn't when not needed same with your Data. if you don't have 4g, turn on only CDMA data. went from 50% every 4 hours just to 15%

Facebook has always been a huge battery drain. Especially now that messenger is integrated into it. Friendcaster Pro is much better anyway

Exact same issue for me. I will try this.
I have had severe battery drain for a few days now. I disabled google now yesterday and that didn't change anything. My phone was constantly warm. Today, I turned airplane mode on and the battery still drained. It got down to 58%. I read somewhere in this forum that the google maps update was causing some battery drain so I uninstalled the update at 58% battery life. Three hours later I had 57% battery life. So, for now I can only assume that it was google maps that was consuming my battery. I will have to try updating maps again to make this a more concrete assumption.

The OS isn't always the reason for battery drain, many factors take into play.
How often you use the device.
Applications like widgets, email push.
Wi-Fi. If your not on it shut it down it else is always going to try to find a signal and drain battery.
Bluetooth. same with this.
Using the net.
Things like Google now, it's always running and trying to update info, shut it off of make intervals longer.
These are just some things to take into account, but at all use the phone different, and im not saying the OS doesn't drain but it solely isn't the only reason.
Hope this help.

I seem to be having the same problem. ..
Same here. With sync turned off, google now turned off, and most everything else that eats battery...
In the battery setting is shows that media is eating at least 25% battery.

I'm having the same issue. I read that the media drain could be caused by bad media files, but I didn't have any issues before this weird.
In my experience when you first update to a new samsung rom, the media using the battery is your phone updating the picasa albums...which stinks because it also eats your data like crazy if you are not on wifi and forget to turn off sync until wifi is available.
I've noticed faster than normal battery drain as well on my device. Normally by 4:30pm I'd be at 40-50%. Now I'm in the 20-30% range.
I'm going to try factory defaulting it soon and run it for a day or two. OR I might not even do that and just go directly to Task's AOKP or CM10.

i dont have any issues with battery drain, but i would suggest a full restore after upgrade. dont restore using titanium, just install through playstore. then report back but i doubt it will be an issue
Before everyone jumps ship, may want to try a new kernel. KT and a few others should work on the new release. Just make sure you choose one that works on JB TW and not ASOP.

I have the same problem.. After JB update there is huge battery drain. With average usage it drains almost 100%. Before update with heavy usage I was going through the day.
Maybe I should try KT kernel I don't know. I wiped all after updated, nothing saved from ICS.

Same here,
It's seem the culprit is the android.process.media.
Each time i bootup,android.process.media is running for about 30 min, non-stop.
I already do a factory reset+sd formatting, but no succes.
With startup manager, i can block that process,but you need to be rooted .
I use the same settings as before i did'nt upgrade yet..i got it fully charge with no texting and calls the next 1hr its already 80%..i think i would try to cycle first my battery for 2 more days..then i'll see if it still have heavy drains..thanks for the response guyss.
Check out my overnight drian! from 1:30 to 10 the average drain is around 4% an hour, Losing about 20% overnight doing nothing.

I just got this phone the other day and immediately updated to jelly bean.Though I have nothing to compare it to my battery drain seems normal. I'm losing about 5% an hour but that is with some use (it's new so I'm playing with it a lot).
I did notice more drain the first day of use (may have been because I was using it a lot) and noticed maps was taking up quite a bit of the battery and I wasn't using it. So I uninstalled the updates for Maps and then re installed it. Battery drain seemed much better after that and now the maps app doesn't even show up in the battery report(before it was about 3rd and it seems kinda high on yours as well though you may be using it).
i'm noticing about the same battery consumption as the stock ICS rom. about 1~2% per hour when idle and sitting, 2~5% per hour listening to music over bluetooth with the screen off, and 5~10% per hour surfing the net and watching videos and stuff.
Well after doing probably 5 resets on my phone , it seems like everything is working fine . I was having issues with the battery drain ,internet not connecting, and phone calls taking 2 minutes to connect.
I was having issues with high battery usage as well after updating to JB.
I froze most every app and widget associated with AT&T and Samsung (with the exception of AllShare) and flashed KT747 kernel and set governor to ktoonservative (default settings).
I am really never a heavy user during the day, but with the same usage I had on ICS, I average 15.5 hours (with the phone at approx 15% when I shut it off to charge) - screen on time between 2.5 and 3 hours; call time between 45 min and 1.5 hrs; media (which seems to be a big battery hog) only about 6 minutes. I use bluetooth exclusively, so that radio is on all the time the phone is on. I keep sync and background data on, but only turn mobile data on as needed.

LG Optimus G Pro CM12(5.0.2) AND BLISSPOP(5.1.1) Battery Drain (msm_hsic_host). Why?!

Hello All
I recently flashed the CM12 release of Lollipop on my rooted LG Optimus G Pro E980.
Everything works fine. However, the battery drain due to msm_hsic_host is confusing to say the least.
This is supposed to be mobile network related, and I have read forums where people say that this goes away when the mobile network is shut. However, for me, I am at home and only using WiFi. The mobile data is OFF.
I went to sleep for about 8 hours and I woke up to find msm_hsic_host had using about 80% and the phone was only in deep sleep for less than 1% of the time.
The phone NEVER goes into deep sleep. Deep sleep contribution is only about 1% ! Why is this happening?
Also, NOTE that the CPU Frequency stays at 384 MHz for 90% of the time! In the picture, it shows as 69% because it was taken a few minutes after a reboot. What does this mean?
Battery Kernel wakeock screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/k6s0gl5s7/
Battery System Monitor screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/tq1pa1taf/
I have already hibernated Facebook, Skype, and another networking app. I am just lost. Why is the msm_hsic_host wakelock ON about 80% of the time?
Have you tried to disable google location services by setting it to GPS only? Disabling all sync? Also, try another CM build, or BlissPop.

Hi, Location Services was off. I turned off Sync and after 4.5 hours, msm_hsic_host is still at 87%.
My mobile data is off.
How to solve this?
To future readers;
I went back to my STOCK ROM on LG Optimus G Pro (LG E980 - Android 4.4.2) just to test this and the most remarkable thing happened.
The phone is mostly on Deep Sleep and msm_hsic_host is in 1%.
Therefore, I can conclude that the battery drain is a serious issue in CM12 (Android 5.0.2) ROM. Could some developers please take a look at this issue?
Here is the proof
Kernel Wakelock: http://postimg.org/image/e954b9kt5/
System Monitor: http://postimg.org/image/cstlt4hw9/
I am about to try Blisspop ROM 5.1 for LG E980 next to see if this issue persists.
I installed Blisspop 3.6 now (Android 5.1.1) - However, following the exact same steps for installing BetterBatteryStats v 2.1 - it just wont't work.
It says, successfully installed as System App. Please reboot.
After reboot, the app says, "This is a companion app to BetterBatteryStats. It was copied to /system and stays there to grant permissions that can only be granted to system apps. This app has no functionality at all. You may need to reinstall BBS to get access to the app."
I even uninstalled and reinstalled using the recovery ZIP.
Has anyone tested BetterBatteryStats ob BLISSPOP 3.6? Please help.

Have you installed mad Mack's modem? Battery drain is a major issue for lp5.0.2, reason why Google releases 5.1.1 to fix the battery drain problem. However, 5.1.1 is may be only slightly improves the battery life. If you can get your service to deep sleep, then at least you can conserve some juice and keep it cool. Otherwise your phone is going to stay hot most of the time.

I have installed 5.1.1 with BLISSPOP 3.6. However, still the phone only gets to deep sleep 2% of the time. In my stock ROM (4.4.2), the deep sleep was on 80% of the time. I don't know why this is happening. This is very bad.
Could you please point me to "mad Mack's modem"? Which one to flash? Where is the link? Should this be done after installing Lollipop?
Even worse now BetterBatteryStats apk does not install on 5.1.1 Blisspop.

Unresolved
To future readers;
I finally managed to install Better Battery Stats and unsurprisingly, msm_hsic_host still dominates. 70%.
System deep sleep is about 2% of the time.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Check out page 1, it has some interesting tips on how to make your device go into the deep sleep. The link to madmack's modem is also in there. But before you begin, is your device e980? That modern is only intended for e980. So if you have something else, don't flash it.

I've done everything there. The modem in that thread is for CM10.2 and CM11 and the whole post is from 2014. Do you think it's normal to expect that to be compatible with the latest Blisspop ROM?
It works with cm12.x as well, I have seen many other cm12.x people use it as proof. Read the blisspop thread if you need verification. Though I have been told that it's optional on cm12 if your device can get deep sleep without it. As for me, it made my phone got that deep sleep I needed when I was using bp3.6.

new battery and having the same problems before the old one died.

Hi all,
I got a new battery a week ago, because my phone didn't turn on or charged anymore.
But my battery keeps draining. I lose around 25% in idle at night time. And around 3% every 5 minutes when I use it.
I used gsam for a few days now to see iff there are any applications that are causing the drain. So far I can't discover any.
Also when I'm using my phone the side of the power button gets hotter then the rest of my phone. While the battery and cpu both are under 40 C.
I do have android 10 and 2.1 ui from devbase rom with soldier 6.0 clean installed, tried other roms aswell, so maybe I should get back to android pie?
I also started using ex kernel with the standerd underclock option you can choose while flashing this helps a bit.
Hopefully somebody can help me out.
Some gsam data
I have the same. I used different roms and kernels, all the same. I turn on airplane mode for the night. it helps a bit.

Thank you, this reassures me that It's just a coincidence that my battery died, and that the behavior of my phone at the moment doesn't mean it would happen again.

I do notice, that gsam says that that I am using wifi all the time. And it shows that battery usage is high when this happens.
The only thing is that I never use wifi anywhere..
I don't know if this is something to go on or just normal behavior?
