Smart Connect draining battery? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

N7100 WIFI slow speeds

Hi all,
I am experiencing slow speeds over Wifi, between 1.5Mbps and 2Mbps, but as soon as I toggle the Wifi on and off, the speeds go back to normal at 15Mbps.
Then few minutes or hours later, again the speeds are dropping at less than 2Mbps.
I don't have any Wifi connectivity issues or drops, just slow speeds.
It is like the N7100 doesn't wake up properly after the deep sleep, even though the Wifi is not set to go to sleep in Settings and is set to Always On.
I even used script droid to toggle the Wifi on and off every hour, but it made no difference.
My old trusted N7000 doesn't have this problem at all and it is connected to the same Linksys router running Tomato.
I am on stock ROM 4.1.2 2013N7100XXDMC3 N7100OXXDMC2 -*Poland pre rooted.
Any ideas?
Regards
Mendo

Many users are experiencing the same as you do. It's a fw bug, since it wasn't there on 4.1.1
Hopefully, Sammy will adress it in an upcoming update.
Djlucas1983; will your tip drain the battery hard..?
Update: well, turning off psm will definitely be a battery drain of biblical proportions, since the screen won't turn off....
Perhaps it's just on my GN2, but for me the tip obviously is no good. Thanx anyway...
Interesting, I found the settings and turned the Wifi PSM to OFF.
The setting is turning back to ON after a reboot but is not a big deal.
I'll report back about the speeds and battery life.
I didn't have any problems with the screen mentioned above.

When I had DMB2 firmware it drained my battery much, now I'm on the polish DMC3 And I didn't test it. Now I'm trying it and Will see how is it.

It looks like it made no difference turning the Wifi PSM to OFF.
The Wifi speeds are back to under 2Mbps once the phone goes to sleep.
As soon as I toggle the Wifi off and on the speeds are back to normal.

Same as for me (and MANY others) in other words. We'll just have to
wait & see what month Sammy decides to grace us with a new FW...
But it seems it works for me, after turning phone to sleep and wake it up, network speed is a little over 30Mbps.

Im having the exact same problem. it also occurs on the galaxy S3 and the note 10.1 by the way. and it doesnt seem to make a difference with other routers because i tried 3 different once from 3 different brands all the same.
I think it has something to do with switching between 3G and wifi in deep sleep mode or something. Because i think i only get the problem when getting home and my note 2 is recconected to the wifi while in sleep mode. switching it off and on again Always fixes the problem. and after that it keeps getting the speed for as long as im connected to the wifi.
i havent really tested it though... but when i think back of the times i got problems is Always after getting back home and then use the wifi.
Its a strange bug. cant recall when i got it the first time.

This is actualy caused by google services
It seems to count the processes that are sourced within your system
Try removing the problem causers which usualy is google apps

[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:

Battery drain with custom kernel

I'm new to this kind of stuff (roms and root) and literally learned how to install them 2 days ago, so I need help: yesterday I installed Elemental X and set the gov. profile to HawkTail 1.2 via EXManager (my rom is Pure Nexus 7.1.1 btw). Charged my phone up to 100% and left it overnight to see the results. But as my phone usually does, got a 20% battery drain over 8 hours with doze not working. I was expecting the kernel+gov profile+ROM combo to solve my battery problems. I need some help to see if I'm missing some point here.
PS: I did a factory reset to install the ROM, so I don't have any shady app (literally just Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook/Messenger and that's all), so I don't think it's a wakelock. Already did a factory reset once and didn't install any app and this drain occurred, so I was hopping for the kernel to solve this.
Active overnight in battery stats?
Check with airplane mode on

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 get 8-10 hours of sot,dual sim.

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.
