eBay app causing battery drain

Since updating the eBay app yesterday, I'm experiencing major battery drain. Its my main kernel wakelock on BetterBatteryStats.
Anyone know how I can fix this as I use the app quite often and don't want to delete it?

nope..i had the app a year ago..i deleted it solely because of the battery drain..sucks to hear that after all this time it hasnt improved

I have to confirm that the ebay app cause massive wakelocks that drain the battery very fast.
I think i will uninstall it until they resolve.

Famous developers that working in famous apps don't think to end user, their think only at their money, that's why little app developed by 1 devs sometimes are better than official app, this "big" developers think your phone is their, adding stupid things only for make "new feature list" ( facebook story with their "own" camera apps ), they don't think at battery or something that, because their don't use this.
Serious developer don't use at 4 wakelocks at minute for utility App
Serious developer don't use HTML5 instead java ( Facebook story )
Serious developer use app before release.
Uninstall it and use ebay from PC, More secure and more fast.

i had the same problem, just installed older version and it's back to normal, new version use new way to display notifications

Battery drain
I'm having the same experience with the app on my HTC One X+, if it makes you feel any better. I disabled all notification alterts and it seems a little better but I'm considering downgrading the app version instead if that doesn't work.

im using it on a SE arc S, I have to say iv noticed battery life has been worse since i installed it, its a shame because its actually a great functioning wee app, if only it would sleep more efficiently

just stopping by to report that the ebay app killed my battery yesterday within 20 minutes... 30% down..

If you use this app often uninstalling it is not an option of course. what you can do if you are on a rooted device is install Titanium Backup and freeze the app when your not using it. When you want to use the app simply unfreeze it and do your business. That will keep the app from killing you battery when it is not being used.

Use greenify, problem solved!

Deep sleep?

How do I force my phone into the deep sleep mode. When I wake up I'd like to have a minimal drain on charge. Thanks.

Kill all background apps and install proper kernel, that's all you have to do.

Put your phone on flight mode or get an app that organizes when your phone should be out of flight mode. I put mine on flight mode over night and my phone gets sleep at least 97percent of the time.

I have everything on at night and get 1% drain maximum.

I have titanium backup installed but I really don't like the freeze option due to the fact that a particular app is no longer really available in the app drawer. Is there a simple way to freeze an app?

Switch back to a 4.1.1 Rom

I have been saying this to each and everyone.
Don't revert to roms released before and in December.
The update in January contained a sds bug fix. It was a very critical bug.
Don't take for granted that Samsung will repair your phone in case of an sds bug issue. They may even say no and you'll be crying then. For God's sake don't downgrade.
Just imagine if you lose 5 months of messages, WhatsApp and what not.
All your pics. It's not worth not charging your phone everyday.
What's the problem. Just leave it charging overnight or when you aren't using it.

The problem is I only got the note 2 for the battery life. I don't want to "settle" for a battery draining update. If I wanted to charge it every day then I would have got the htc one x+ or nexus 4.
Samsung better fix this soon.

Ok then you can play with it's battery when your phone dies due to sds.
Good luck and best wishes.

Mod edit: You are all great happy people

Hahahahahahaha Btw that advice is actually quiet sound, its better to be on LL7 or later with worse battery life but the sds bug fixed than being on earlier stock ROMs with cgances of sds.
Btw, I am on Indian MA6 and this works as well as the LL3 used to for me atleast.

I'm still on 4.1.2 and unlikely to change back to 4.1.1. This is 99% due to the fact the browser in the older versions doesn't reflow text (like Nexus or HTC). Also, unfortunately due to the clowns at sky putting strict restrictions on their "Sky Go" app, it is not possible for me to use any of the custom roms as the app just does not work on them and there is no way around it.
I have to stick with stock and hope this drainage issue is sorted in the next update!

I normally don't use the stock browser. Somehow have always preferred Dolphin. And as for the Sky thingy, I am actually trying to make my sister in London kick Sky away cos they so blatantly support Apple products over Android devices. I am not sure if this is the case even now but some months ago their apps refused to run on Android tabs, and worked only on Phones.
Edit : I just thought of this, you can always flash 4.1.1 stock right? It isn't as if your phone status will change on just flashing a stock ROM on an unrooted device. And even if it does, you can change it back to normal using triangle away and all. That would allow you to use sky without any prob.

I always used Dolphin too but doesn't support flash on JB. Have to do a titanium backup and restore of the ICS version to get it to work and it seems every so slightly buggy.
The reason I don't go back to 4.1.1 is because it doesn't support text reflow. Similarily, ive always been rooted and need to toggle it on and off because I use apps like directorybind given Samsung's idiotic decision to use the internal memory as "SDCard"

If you are rooted, and sky does not work on modified devices, how do you get it to work? I need to get some apps feom my office to work on my root+stock device, but they normally don't start, displaying a message that 'Your device is modified'.
I tried directory bind for sometime, but found it to be a bit of a headache. Instead I use a simple script with ROM manager lite to switch external/internal storages. Found it on an external site, works flawlessly. I don't even have to backup game and audio/video data and when I flash a new rom now.

[Q] AudioOut_2 partial wakelock drains my battery

Hello, I know, on XDA is a lot of topics with this problem but I didn't find any solution there.
Some days ago I flashed my device to stock ROM 4.1.2 [XEO]. Of course, I made full wipe before flash and I didn't root my device.
I installed apps which I use and problem is here. I read, Viber is draining battery, so I went to settings of Viber and checked "Use System Sounds" and disabled vibrate when somebody sends me a message.
In android settings I disabled system sounds and vibrate too.
List of my apps:
Code:
AirDroid
Any.DO
Apex Launcher
BetterBatteryStats
Business Calendar
Cerberus
Dolphin Browser
Dropbox
Dropsync
EZ File Browser
Facebook
Feedly
Keep
Messenger (Facebook)
MX Player
PicsArt
SMS Backup & Restore
SoundHound
Swapps
Tapatalk
Tasker
Tinylight
Twitter
Viber
Waze
WeatherPro
WidgetLocker
Zooper Widget Pro
At night, tasker turns my device to airplane mode from 03:00 - 07:30.
Battery is really important for me so I will be really very thankful if somebody helps me to fix my problem with drain.
Here is BetterBatteryStats screen:

Look in da guide in mah sig.

Thank you for your answer.
Tip 1:
- doesn't work for me. I wrote to CurrentWidget support. They tell me, problem is with Samsung devices (still shows 0mA)
Tip 2:
- have all disabled / enabled
So I found, I must close all aps before I lock my device or use Advanced Task Killer. I read a lot of articles and they don't recommend use 3rd task killers apps and auto-killing is bad for android. So I don't know what I can do now.

Bs. If you configure it to automatically kill all apps at screen off then nothing is gonna go wrong. I have set it up and everything is good here. Also use greenify to stop apps from running in the background that you don't want.

I just uninstalled Viber, hope, it will fix my problem. / installed Whatsapp

I had this issue, i downloaded installed and ran "Rescan Media Root" from the Google Play Store. Problem solved. Without having to uninstall Whatsapp or Viber etc.

Thanks but I don't have rooted device. Btw still have AudioOut_2 problem.. BetterBatteryStats shows me 15 minutes of AudioOut_2 now..

It is not Viber, despite what many people say on numerous threads.
I uninstalled Viber and the problem is still there.
To this day no one knows what the cause is. There have been many suggestions but no definite answer.

It is due to any app that uses audio. To shortlist it is generally in apps that use audio and continue running in background.
The only solution is to kill all apps before letting it sleep.

I can personally confirm that both Viber and Skype (when signed in) cause this wakelock. Also, this wakelock appears regardless of whether you turn off your screen. Play 15 minutes of audio with the screen on, you get this wakelock. Play a game, kill the process, you get this wakelock. It occurs even if you're using the phone, not only during screen off.
Edit: What I meant to say was, Viber and Skype cause this wakelock during screen off time.

Basically an instruction to the CPU that stops it going to deep sleep. But try what I said, set a custom reference in Better Battery Stats, play music for 15 minutes while using the phone. You will get 15 minutes of AudioOut_2.

I have the same findings as you. Get lots of AudioOut_2 wakelock but it actually corresponds to the time i spend playing games with sound on (which obviously happens when screen is on). And even with high amount of this wakelock, i still get my normally great battery life. Hence i conclude this wakelock is wrongly captured, at least for me. :cyclops:

Getting high audioout_2 while playing music or games or anything else which produces sound is of course normal, it's common sense.
The problem is when you have 8 hours of awake time when you're sleeping due to audioout_2. My battery went down by 11% overnight because of this.

Hello UtkarshGupta,
so I tried to install Advanced Task Killer and here is my setup:
In settings I checked Ignore service, fron app
Auto Kill Level: Crazy
Auto Kill Frequency: When screen off
I created recommend ignore list and add some apps but I don't know if I can kill for example Clock too.
BTW I see S Suggest and S Voice are runned. I don't know why, coz' I didn't start these apps.

I don't have any ignore list. In fact I deleted the ones which were pre configured. I don't have any issues.

Yes, me too. Users in Google Play will just download and use it, but here we like to know EVERYTHING!!! lol!

You'll have to give waaaay more info. A "turn me on/off" button and a pic of Mila Jovovich holding a gun won't cut it
And I mean not only here, people that find your app through the Play Store probably won't get interested in installing it due to the lack of information given. It will come across as rather shady to most people tbh
Give the people more info and your app might have a chance of making it!

Hahahaha
The app will turn off mobile data, started a few minutes after screen off. and then try to enable data, in incremental delays.
At night (started 0am), data won't be enabled again until 6am.
If you turn on screen, data will be enabled again.
Snapdragon battery guru: not compatible
Using my app, network location is not required

Might be something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29369439&postcount=4
It can be any program that is not closed properly (eg. running in the background), like Youtube.
Does it also occur when your device is rebooted and NO program is started? (See in the apps listing which apps are running right after resetting)

it is manifested even when the device has just been restarted. I try to freeze youtube and see how it goes?

Does anyone know a program to check if the battery is still working?

Hi. Maybe try to untick conversation tones (notifications) in whatsapp.

Try to use Greenify. That'll stop programmes from restarting.
As has been said that particular wake lock is an app that hasn't closed Properly.
When I get it I terminate apps one by one each time going back to bbs hitting refresh to see if the wakelock has stopped increasing. When it does I know that's the app I need to greenify.

I use the free version. It is a very good app. Make sure you delete all sounds within the phone settings as well. Such as tts, keyboard sounds/vibrations etc.
