Battery does not list app usage - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Battery doesn't show what apps are running
All my battery displays is Screen,Device Idle, and Wifi
It shows no other third party app that is running. This can only be temporarily fixed by rebooting my Note 2. Which then it happens again after full charging the device.
Is there a fix to this? I barely got it and it is bugging the crap out of me

Same here thought it was so weird

This happen to mine too.. when i turn off auto sync in Settings>Data Usage>Left menu then turn off Auto sync data.. But good in battery saving..

My Note 2 just started doing this as well. Settings> Battery and all it shows is the overall usage graph and Android OS 100%. If I click on Android OS it shows 298 days of usage. I tried deleting the batterystats.bin file/full charge/reboot etc but that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Fixed it.
Ran it down until it turned off/died.
Plugged in stock charger.
Once fully charged..green LED...powered on.
Booted into CWM from restart menu.
Wiped both caches.
Wiped battery stats.
Reboot.
Unplug from charger while at 100%.
Thought I followed these steps before but apparently I didn't.
Back to normal.

My phone does this when cpu power saving is on. Turn it off and it's fixed.

Crashing issues possible cause

I just had another crash replying to a post here using tapatalk. The keyboard had small pink corruptions as if video memory had an issue.
I pulled the battery for about 10 seconds, tried to turn it back on. No dice. I tried again except pulled the sim as well, that worked.
Maybe some of us having crashes are sim related?

I've had to do a second battery pull today. Phone locks up then about 5 seconds later the display goes dark. Not fun.

I froze twice in the past three days. I was using hand cent and browsing. The battery had to be pulled in order for restart.

Yesterday I noticed GetJar was keeping the device awake (in battery stats), but otherwise it was responsive and all good. I uninstalled GetJar and rebooted for good measure. It powered down fine, but wouldn't power back up. I had to pull the battery.
My first 'battery pull' so far!
I had my first crash today while I was replying to an SMS message. The screen produced these broken specs of green.
I couldn't exit from the SMS, eventually the screen turned itself off and then nothing.
I had to perform a battery pull to fix.
When the phone booted back up ICS complained that the launcher had crashed.
Instead of clicking 'stop' I clicked 'wait'.
Phone returned to normal after that.

Did you guys restore old apps/app data from your previous Android device? If so, factory reset and START FRESH.
I can't count the people I know that had issues all stubbornly because they refused to start fresh from a new device.

I didn't use a restore. I just added my Google account and let the phone download my apps that I more or less had from my Nexus One.
Is that OK to do?
Or should I have done something else??
Let me know, Thanks.

This is how it works. When you login all the apps install automatically.
I just noticed this morning that a bunch of apps I had uninstalled already on my GN automatically reinstalled. Odd right?

If you have "force 2d rendering" checked in the developer settings, that will cause many issues.

I don't have any dev options on. I'm basically seeing what others are. Lockup, sometimes with screen corruption, then the display eventually goes black some short amount of time afterward. Battery pull required. I thought it may be heat related at one time but it has happened when the device was relatively cool. Seems like a software driver issue that can hopefully be addressed.

(Q) battery drain

OK, my wife has had this phone since last September and it has just recently been suffering from some very unusual battery drain. Tonight I placed a fully charged battery in it at 9:30 pm killed all the non essential apps via menu / settings / running services. And by 11:00 it was already at 50%. What could be causing this issue? It is fully stocked and not rooted. Thanks for the help

Possibly a app that u downloaded is waking it up or an update u did recently.

I'm having similar battery drain problems with my SGS2. My phone shuts down, like empty battery power, when I'm online for a few minutes or playing a game when in fact the battery still has more than 50% stored power. This started happening a few weeks ago. I didn't download or update any app before I noticed this "phenomenon".
Anyone has an idea what could be causing this battery drain? How can I resolve this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thee have been a few times where my battery drained overnight where it only usually goes down like 5-6%. Both times I run found out there was either a tower down nearby or they were doing work. Check an app like badass battery moniter, it gives you a rundown of apps and modem drain.

Download system panel and see what programs are eating up CPU and using data. Also consider Wi-Fi and data toggles they save a ton of battery and turning off background data. If your still have major drain issues hope got insurance...bring it down and get a new battery.

Tmo galaxy s3 won't charge.

So earlier today I had an issue where when I would dial a number my phone wouldn't actually dial, it just sat there. So I restarted it and then realized it was very hot, so I opened setcpu and it's min was 1056 which it has been 384 so I changed it back and it immediately cooled off. But then my battery had drained 50% so I put it on the charger and now it won't charge. It has the charging symbol but it doesn't go up. So I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache, dalvik and fixed permissions and it's still doing it. I'm on li8 stock rooted.

How long have you left it charging? Leave it for a few minutes.
Try charging it with your phone off.
Can you mount your phone to your computer? If you can, this can eliminate a faulty port.
If it is showing the charging symbol it is charging.

Yeah normally that is true except this time. It's been on the charger for 15mins and has lost 1% battery while ON the charger. I use this charger every day too.

Uninstall setcpu? What processes are active? Try a different charger? Turn the phone completely off like someone mentioned.
I'd blame an app. They're not tested with leaks so it's silly to expect them to be perfect.

I've been running this for over a week with no issue and no new apps installed. Found out that "media" with the "downloads app" icon is running real high in system usage even after a fresh reboot its like 40-50% of usage.

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.

Phone charging issues

Hello, I have a weird issue going on with my s3. My phone discharges like crazy when my data is on, and by that I mean it even discharged when connected to a charger. Also the phone only charges when connected to usb, and does not charge when connected to wall charger, even tho it shows the phone is charging but the battery percentage stays static. I have tried changing batteries, chargers everything. I also changed roms, formatted the whole thing, reinstalled and still the issue remains. Is there anything I can do? Please help.
Thank you.

Seems like you have something running in the background when you data is enabled. Perhaps a app using GPS and data.
I'd download BBS (BetterBatteryStats) to narrow down the issue. Also, when you go under settings->battery, anything suspiciously high?
I have looked at battery usage abs android system is always usually high. Here is the screenshot.

Download BBS (you can find it on xda). Charge your battery to full and post the results once your battery is down to like 50-60%.
Android system can be a lot of things, seems you have awful signal though. That could be it, have you tried flashing another modem?
Actually I'm not on my hometown, this the signal is bad...otherwise usually u have good signal. Anyway I'll install bbs and get back with more data. Thanks for replies.

Do you have touch keys (tone) on? If so, turn that off.
Anything that makes your phone make sound from the rear speaker triggers AudioOut_2.
Ok I will try disabling touch sounds...but I have always had touch sounds on abd never had any issue, I dnt know what changed suddenly.
Thank you tho.
