Smart Connect draining battery?

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes smart connect stays on after disconnecting the charger and drains the battery quite quickly.
I first noticed it on my old Xperia U when it was running 4.4 and thought it was just due to some of the rom's I'd installed as I never had this problem with gb or ics.
I've had my Z1 compact for a few weeks now. Updated it to 4.4 straight out of the box.
(No other mods made)
Sometimes my battery will drop from 100% in the morning to below 20% before getting home from work.
When I check in battery usage after this happens, Smart Connect would be at the top of the list and would have used a huge percentage of the battery compared to any other app.
Other times the battery life is good and Smart Connect doesn't even appear in battery usage stats.
I've stopped using Smart Connect and disabled it in settings, but I miss having my phone go into silent mode overnight when charging automatically.

Use Tasker instead. It has a lot more possibilities to automatisize your phone. It's not free, though. But either way worth the money. Battery life is in my phone no problem unless you use many locale contexts.

I never noticed that kind of syruation in my z1c. Smart connect works perfect all time. Try factory reset or wipe app cache maybe that helps

If you ever think your battery has gone down too quickly, check and see if smart connect shows up in power management

[RESOLVED] Z1 does not go into deep sleep (no wakelocks)

My Z1C doesn't seem to be able to go into deep sleep state.
If you look at the wakelock detector screenshots it seems there is no particular wakelock that is keeping the phone awake, but still it doesn't enter deep sleep (last screenshot).
GSam battery monitor is showing always 70+ % of the battery burned by CPU usage and it is either Kernel or Google Services. Additionally I tried to use Deepsleep Batery Saver, but it seems there is no difference in respect with deep sleep.
The attached screenshots are with Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 ROM, but I can confirm the same behavior on Paranoid Android 4.6 and latest CM11 nightly.
I believe the stock unrooted ROM was also affected but couldn't be 100% sure as I flashed almost immediately CM when I got the phone.
Since the problem persisted through different kernels/roms, could it be possible that the device is having some HW malfunction, that is preventing the controller from going into deep sleep mode, and consecutively the CPU just spending time in the kernel idle loop?
I have not backed up TA partition rolleyes and don't know if the service center will respect the warranty....
Any ideas?

It seems there is something wrong with google play services in wakelock detector check which one from GP services eat tour battery

Well there is total of 18 minutes of wakelock time from Googe Serivices. The phone has been active for 21h 35 minutes without a single second of deepsleep.

Maybe it is kernel related?

You'll need to go full stock and see if the issue persists.

resolved...
Wow guys, I feel pretty stupid. The issue was not present after flashing last stock and after careful investigation, turned out to be related to some kernel configuration that I applied after each ROM install with Device Control... :silly:
The battery life is great now and my girlfriend is enjoying some smooth cyanogenmod magic. :victory:

"background data disabled" on Google Play.

When I turn on my phone, and go to Google Play, I get the "background data disabled" error message.
My background data isn't disabled.
I can solve this by pressing the tab button (bottom-left button) and closing all running programs. Then if I start Google Play again, it works.
It's also causing issues with the testing of my game. The IAP system seems to be broken before I do the above.
Is it a known problem on the Note 4?

Go to Settings, Data Usage and make sure the circled processes do not have background data disabled.
If any of the processes have restricted background data, then you'll get that message.
Next, if you use Power Saving mode, go to Settings, General tab, Power Saving and unchecked Restrict Background data.
If none of this helps, then I'm clueless and can only suggest a factory reset, which will definitely fix it until you mess it up again (no offense).

I don't actually have any of those in my list (no mobile usage I guess), except for Android OS. And, Android OS doesn't allow me to restrict background usage.
I don't have Power Saving mode enabled.
Like I said, it fixes itself if I remove Google Play from memory after trying to start it the first time... so it is not a question of restricting background data, although that's a moot question anyway.

Clear cache?

Go to Settings>Data usage and hit the menu key. Make sure restrict background data is not selected.

try setting the date and time manually
auto time from network seems to be slightly off.

Hey, I'm having the same problem on my Droid Turbo, but none of the fixes suggested above helped. Background data was already on, and I tried turning it {data} off and on again. Did the same with the phone. Other apps are clearly making data contact, but Google Play and Chrome are not.
I just got a "Unfortunately, system UI has stopped." I have managed to shut down the phone...
All I know I did before that happened is turn on the pointer position overlay.

GT-I9195 - Whatsapp messages not received when screen off

Hi,
I need some help, please.
I have Cyanogen 13 installed on my phone, nightly 20160729, but for some time now, I'm not getting my Whatsapp messages when screen is off. They come all at once when I unlock my phone.
I have background data enabled, battery optimization disabled for Whatsapp, all notifications are enabled in the app settings and in the phone settings, I have Whatsapp whitelisted in Task manager, my WIFI is on when screen is on, when screen is off, mobile data is active ( no changes detected when only WIFI is on or only mobile data is on).
Can't figure out what's the problem, Viber works fine on the same phone and with the same settings.
Also, I've noticed that when I turn the screen off, messages do get through for about a minute or so after turning it off and then nothing.
Could it be some setting related to the phone sleep mode?
Any help would be appreciated, thanx

Delete all task manager apps

Hi, tried that, no effect.
I'm testing settings for all apps that control background processes and will see if there's any progress.
Thanx for your reply.

Seems that something in Hibernation manager is at fault. Looks like some process is getting killed that affects WhatsApp. Don't know which one is it, but for now, messages are coming through.

So, messages not coming through again. Uninstalled Hibernation manager, seems to me that when phone goes to deep sleep, Whatsapp messages stop coming. Any suggestions?

These are the processes I have set to autokill, can anybody tell me if any of them should be active for Whatsapp to work?

This is solved, apparently, WhatsApp needs Google play and services to work while Viber works fine with them disabled.

Moto Z Play Nougat Battery Drain

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing heavy battery drain with my Moto Z Play on 7.0 Nougat.
About device:
Android Version: 7.0
Software Channel: reteu
Build Number: NPNS25. 137-24-1-9
Android Security patch level: April 1, 2017
My 3 months old Moto Z Play (Single SIM) is giving me terrible SOT. It came with Android Nougat out of the box, I set it up from my Google account backup and started to use it. For the first 2 weeks, I could only get 3-3,5 hours of SOT with no gaming at all (Browsing with Chrome, watching Youtube videos, WhatsApp, moderate phone use). First, I tried wiping cache, no results...
Today I've done a factory reset through recovery mode and set the phone up as a new device (didn't restored settings from my google account) so far battery drain seems to continue. There are barely 15 apps installed and this time I uninstalled unnecessary Google Apps to make a fresh start. I don't know what drains my battery, but I really want to see 8-10 hours of SOT with my MZP.
Cell reception: Excellent on 2G, Low to medium on LTE and/or 3G. (Battery kept on draining both on 2G and LTE)
Location: High accuracy at all times, scanning is off, google location history is off.
3rd party apps I use frequently: (all are updated)
Snapchat
Youtube
WhatsApp
Chrome
9GAG
Spotify
So far I've tried,
Wiping Cache,
Factory Reset,
Turning Data Saver Mode on
Restricting background data usage for nearly all apps,
Unmounting my 32GB Sandisk microsd card,
Turning on Airplane Mode at night (still lost more than 20% till morning)
Safe Mode,
Resetting App Preferences,
Turning Synchronization off,
Turning all moto suite features off,
SCREENSHOT TRANSLATION NOTES:
Android İS: Android OS in turkish
Google Play hizmetleri: Google Play Services
Android Sistemi: Android System

May be snapchat and spotify is the reason.
Many of them were having issue with their battery and they also have spotify and snapchat installed.
Try uninstalling both the app and use the device and see how much SOT you are getting.
If this didn't works then perform hard reset and wipe cache partition Together (1st Hard reset then Wipe Cache via recovery).
I was also getting 5-6 hrs SOT earlier but after doing this it becomes insane and i started getting 8-10 hrs SOT.

Yeah, when i uninstall Spotify my battery get really better, that can be the reason

Uninstalled Spotify, 9Gag and Snapchat. Let's see what happens.
BTW, I'm literally using my phone with no more than 10 apps installed and now I have to uninstall 3 of them just to get my phone properly. This is ridiculous.

Location in high accuracy will use your WiFi and Bluetooth to ping other nearby devices to guess your location.It uses a lot of battery.Try using in device only mode

High accuracy is fine, turn off wifi and bt scanning under location. Pretty hidden settings and by default on.

Use the app "Island" which sets up a work profile that you can toggle on and off. The toggle will restrict when the apps use background functions and when they do not. Really useful for social media apps.

Wifi and bluetooth scanning is off, I've disabled them since day one. Yesterday I fully charged the device before I go to bed. Then I rebooted into safe mode and turned airplane mode on. So basically all third party apps were disabled and all the wireless capabilities were cut off. Left the phone on the shelf. Today I woke up to see my phone drained 18% battery. Here's a screenshot. The device was sleeping all the time, yet, the battery is drained by 18%.
Maybe it's a faulty unit, what do you think?

Id try hard resetting at this point. I had battery woes at one point, turned out it was the battery saving and monitoring apps that were causing the issue.

Yeah, that's not normal. I've charged last evening and look ss.

Damn, cannot edit and attach another ss.

Double, sorry. Tapatalk has issues.

Since you get drain while the device is basically doing nothing I'd say try to get it exchanged(the phone )

Quick update:
Did a wipe data and wipe cache through recovery mode.
Set it up as a new device.
Installed NO third party apps, only updated the pre-installed ones.
Charged it up to 100%.
Let it sleep. Next morning, battery drained to 84%. (Excellent cellular signal, Wifi ON all the time.) Check out attached screenshots.
Settings:
Syncronization ON (Only Chrome, Gmail, Contacts, Calendar is activated.)
Location: Battery saving, scanning is OFF.
Backup My Data under Backup & Reset is OFF.
Google Photos app photo backup is OFF.
Rest of the settings are default.

Nougat out of the box in Moto z play?
About phone What is your kernel version? Hardware information?
In developer options take a screenshot of the running services(or see what you have...if you see something... ) cached and running, all information is welcome. Test "show all ANRs" and tell us if any app has problems.

It didn't actually come with nougat, I updated it to nougat right after unboxing. Sorry for misleading information. See attachments for the requested screenshots.

It's strange . Running services (and cached) are ok, no "strange kernel"(I suppose modifications in kernel or something like that, but you have the same as me*) there is nothing(in the info) that causes the battery problem. It can be a "bad" update or hardware problem. I can't help. you should go to technical service or wait to the next update fix your problem.

I've never seen a crazy drain like this. If i were you I'd try to flash MM instead. Your first option should be to just do a hard rest and reset everything first. If that doesn't work then I'd say its a faulty unit. I've used both Nougat and MM.. I feel like MM is way better in terms of battery life. This drainage is pretty crazy. Try to upload more pics of your usuage. Maybe something is keeping your phone awake over night.

As I've said in my earlier post, I already tried that wiping everything. I can't go back to MM, can't risk the phone bricking. Tomorrow I'm going to get it fix fixed or replaced.
