Hi There,
I have searched this and did some reading, but it seems no one else's problem is similar to mine.
I have BBS (BetterBattery Stats) but cannot monitor anything on it.
As the References keep deleting, I mean for example:
Set it to:
Other
Since Boot
Current
This should show information, but it says reference not set.
So I restart, and check again. They show !!! But 5 minutes later, I check again and low and behold, NO REFERENCE !!!
Also, no reference from charged, no reference from unplugged etc etc.
Why is there no references etc?
Thanks !
Just select 'since unplugged' and then plug and unplug the usb cable and it should be fine from then on.
remember to refresh it afterwards/
Tried that, no help.
The only one that works all the time is "Since Screen On" the boot one works for about 3 minutes after booting, then says "no reference" why is it loosing the references?
I downloaded the XDA version (from here ofcourse), moved the APK to my device (using AirDroid) then installed it... is that why? Is there a certain folder it needs installing?
Anyone?!
....I left it last night in the hopes that a charge would sort it.
I went on this Morning and set it to "Since Unplugged" all good !!!
Checked an hour and half later, still showing stats YAY
BUT BUT BUT
I checked after dinner, yet again no REFERENCE
WHY DOES IT KEEP LOOSING REFERENCE FGS!!!

Hi,
posted this over at the Cyanogenmod forum already, but xda-audience is probably bigger making it more likely to find help ;-)

I am new to CM (came from Modaco ;-) and i would be extremly happy with CM 6.1 if i would not have one very stange issue:
My Phone suddenly stops sleeping exactly at midnight.
It all started when i found that it looses a huge amount of battery over night - it was one of the first days i used CM when i noticed this. As i am experienced with android i immediately checked my up/awake stats and found it was not sleeping properly. As the basic advice for this is always to find the "bad" app that is preventing sleep i treid something and finally thought the issue was gone. The phone was behaving properly the whole day.
Then i got the same issue the next night again !?
To finally sort this is ou, i installed juiceplotter and saw that ...
...the phone behaves fine until midnight - then it stops sleeping and drains huge amount of battery !!
When i start using the phone in the morning again - it seems to behave ok again (sometimes i rebooted - but i think just starting to use the screen again helps as well - not finally sure about this)
So the usual steps to check every single app via uninstalling (which i have all used with MCR-Rom without any problems) would take a while with my 70+ apps as i would always have to wait until midnight passes to see if i found the right one.
Any idea how to find the reason (app) that stops my phone from sleeping after midnight ? Mist be some app that also triggers something at midnight ?
Or any other idea what this could be ? (if not a 3´rd party app)
I checked logcat but could not find anything abvious.
Would really keep staying with CM and not nandroid back to MCR.
Thx
Marcus
It could be an app that is trying to sync at the start of the new day, thus starting exactly at midnight.
In the *#*#4636#*#* menu in battery history select the first drop down menu to "partial wake usage" and see if you can find which process is consuming the most resources in sleep mode.
It is likely that it's a third party app, but you can check that by booting in safe mode and leaving the phone over night to see if it happens again.
If as you say just by starting to use the phone the slowness disappers, it may be an app that is only working when the phone is idle (e.g. some maintenance app, antivirus, etc.).
Thx for the tips.
I checked most of them already ;-)
I found that "E-Mail" was 2nd in the "partial wake" list.
I configured an exchange-account there but set the sync interval to "never".
Nevertheless it is shown (only) with some 20 mins. (for ~6 hours standby) in the partial-wake-list - I found that suspicious.
After some googling today i found this:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307
(this thread says that there is a bug (confirmed by google) that can prevent sleep with exchange-account set to sync never)
I tried to experiment today a little bit (also with setting the clock to 23:55 and wait a while for "midnight" to pass ;-) with different settings and found that "push"-setting shows better results (hard to tell with only ~30 mins. of stats each time). And now i tried with manual sync set to 1 hour (max) and see if that makes any difference.
I´ll dig a little deeper and post results.
In the meantime any tips or comments are warmly welcome. ;-)
Marcus
EDIT: If that "Exchange-bug" should be the reason - i just wonder why midnight seems to be a trigger - but who knows what went wrong deep in the code ;-)
confirmed:
It really WAS the Email-Client configured for Exchange.
No with setting it to "Push" everything is working fine .. when setting the sync to "never" Email start to keep wake-locks !
So everybody with a poor batt-performance should probably check this (if using Exchange) and use "push" until Google has fixed this bug (see above).

Hi everybody
I hoped you could help me with this issue that I've had for several days now.
My HTC Desire HD won't shut down after I flashed the CM7 RC4, instead it would automatically reboot. I then full wiped it and reflashed another ROM (revolution hd 3.3) but the problem still persists.
I've read similar threads where OP advised to change the date then take the battery out for one night or stuff like that. I've tried it all, and it's still there !
So do you have any clue to fix this ?
Thank you very much !
After you took out your battery for the night, did the date in the phone get reset to something old once you put the battery back ?
Well I have done this with 2 methods :
- 1st, I changed the date to an old date (before the hour change in Europe), and then pulled out the battery for several hours. When I put the battery back in, the date was still old and not updated.
- 2nd, I left the automatic date, and it would stay the same after I pulled out and put the battery in back again.
In the 2nd case, the phone would automatically boot once the battery is inserted, even when I don't push the power button!
In the 1st case, if I re-change the date to the correct one afterwards (even if it's not on automatic), the phone won't shut down again...
Oh, okay I see what you mean
I read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014302
So you have to get the phone reset itself due to lack of internal power. So I just have to pull the battery out longer...
It should work by then..
it's quite impressive how many people say: "didn't work for me" and after a while come back saying: "ohhhh now that i pulled out mt battery for 15hrs it's worked"
the reason i said that is because, actually, there is no right number of hours that you must stay without the battery in, form me it worked with 5 hours, but for the most people it was not enought... so if you tried 10 hours, try 15 hours! =o)
the fact of you set your date to before march 27 and it shut down properly shows that the problem is the same! =oP

I want to explain a method that actually gives me real results for resetting the batterystats after a ROM upgrade. I never thought a batterystats reset did anything and it's likely because I wasn't doing it this way. For this I use a conjunction of two things but really you could do the actually deleting of the batterystats.bin file in clockwork or by other means.
Reference Zeppelinrox's thread "Calibrating Without Downtime!" for the long version...
First, I use this Battery Calibration app from the market.
After a ROM upgrade I let my phone charge until a full charge. The Battery Calibration app helps because it'll ding which is nice.
Delete the batterystats file, and while leaving your phone plugged in, pull off the cover and reboot.
At the 2nd LG logo (i.e. - pink and white one or Backside's (?) IHO logo) pull the battery out. Sometimes I wait 5 seconds, 10 seconds 20 seconds or whenever before I pull it out- just make sure it's during that part of the boot sequence.
At some point later in the boot sequence it's recreating the batterystats.bin file in the background and presumes the battery is not charged since it's been removed.
Put your battery back in, keeping the phone still plugged in.
You may have to do this routine a few times before you can tell but what should happen is you'll have a 100% pre-reboot and after the last step it'll drop down to a lower number that will need to be charged back up.
You may want to read Zepp's post because it may help to read his instructions too.
If you see a 'please put the battery in' type message just put it in and try the instructions a few more times.
I'm regurgitating someone else's work a lot. Thank Zeppelinrox for his work. Some of my finds have been from trudging through some of his ginormous threads. I'm just trying to pull out the nuggets.
Right so, I've tried this quite a bit, and I can never get to the lock screen without battery before the phone complains that I need a battery. I've inserted it after the vibration during the boot sequence but it'll show up at 100% at the lock screen.
EDIT: OK so I did something different that netted results.
I fully charged, batterystats.bin, then reboot per normal instructions. I counted 4 bananas P) once the pink and white LG Logo came up and pulled the battery. Instead of reinserting after vibration, I let it keep going until it asked me to insert battery. I slid it in, and the phone rebooted. I left it there and once I hit the lock screen my phone read at 99% instead of the "Charged" reading I was getting. I charged for an extra 20 minutes and my phone topped off at 4199mv.
During my trials trying to get a non-charged reading at the lock screen, I looked into Battery Monitor and I was seeing 4160mv-4197mv readings, all of them varying. I did not top off at 4199 until I did it the way I just described.
I end up counting too. I guess I haven't found a perfect number so I just try pulling the battery out at random times during the 2nd LG logo. Sometimes when I go through the steps I get all the way to the Android boot screen with the message "connect your charger" for the battery status on the lock screen and I can even use my phone. I think at that point I know I've done it right since it's fully booted and had to have created the new batterystats.bin file.
Once I've put the battery back in I've seen it be as low as 91% after a reset when I've done it this way.
After reading your last sentence it looks like you're getting similar results to what I get. Now I know I'm not b.s.-ing so thanks for the feedback
Hi everyone, I'm recently owner of a Galaxy Nexus...and I'm having some troubles with battery/usb, and battery status...I've already look at the threads about usb problems...but, what I didn't found is this:
My battery history is not right...It didn't show me the apps consumption...or it shows it, but like freezed in time...The time of use its freezed too...It acts really strange. I did factory reset...but nothing...I'm totally stock.
Any idea?
Besides, when I plug the charger, it takes about 30 sec to show the bolt icon on notification's battery icon.
The Battery/App Stats aren't displayed in real-time, you would have to manually refresh them to see the updated data.
Are you using an official Samsung battery?
It could be the charger you are using, I've actually been able to drain my battery when it's plugged into a live charger. Anything below 1 Amp output seems to delay the charging process significantly.

Yes, official battery and charger...I press on refresh but nothing happens...so I've tried to plug/unplug severaltimes..sometimes at PC's usb, and the history did reset...but when I think its working, I press on refresh and nothing....It keeps showing 3 secs of battery usage for example
I would suggest rooting (if you're not already) and attempting to wipe the battery stats manually. There could be something stuck in that file that is preventing it from updating when required to.
With a root file explorer, go to Data/System and remove "batterystats".
Other than that, I'm stumped. I've flashed hundreds of ROMs, and wiped my phone hundreds more times and I've never come across this issue. I'm using the Toro variant but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
Let me know if that worked though, I'll keep looking around for a solution.

@Liskrig thanks for your help...I finally change it for another nexus, this one works properly. :highfive:.
I think it was all related to micro usb issues...
Hi,
I turned my phone off last night before going to sleep, it had 40% battery left. When I tried to turn it on this morning it didn't do anything. Even when trying to charge it the LED did not light up.
the only sign of life I got out of it was a screen with the "battery charging", looked like it was charged around 50%. However, it did not, and still does not respond to the hardware keys...
Any solutions? Or am I simply out of luck.
Extra info:
Stock rom, rooted.
Already had some sort of problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/phone-freezes-awake-stock-custom-rom-t2908503
Thanks in advance!
May be you should try wiping data (lock screen & stuff) from samsung online site (if you have registered).. Not sure if it work.. Just a suggestion..
Somehow I don't have any registered devices.. (I did register it though, just because of the dropbox storage bonus)
Edit: My device randomly booted up, had it plugged in to the charger all day (about 6 hours), 47% charged right now.
going to make a backup using titanium and flashing stock via odin, see if it helps.
This is reaaally weird though... :silly:
