LGE Knock-on Proximity Sensor - impact on battery - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
The LGE Knock-on Proximity Sensor is taking over 5% of my battery and is awake 5h46 (total on battery is 7h51 so far)
Something is killing my battery recently, I'm down to 56% after 7hr with only 1 hour onscreen time. Android system is taking over 10% total (LGE Knock-on Proximity Sensor is part of this).
Can anyone check their phone to see where LGE Knock-on Proximity Sensor ranks on battery drain?
I have recently installed quite a few things which mayby causing drain by most of Greenified, the following are not

Google search is causing a lot of wakelocks also. I dont know if this is normal? I have google now but only using Cell tower location.

Google now is usually the culprit of a lot of battery drain, I have learnt not to use it and disable it/freeze it.
But that's personal preference.
I don't use knock on, so can't comment on that.

After I turned off full GPS and network location settings and switched to just network Google now has stopped taking as much battery.
It's knock-on which is consistently high

my LG G pro 2 has knock-on feature, but without LGE Knock-on Proximity Sensor... no issue on battery usage....

One X tegra 3 proximity/light sensor problem

Hi all,
Rooted one X, stock 4.2.2 with sense 5.0
Having a little problem with my ancient one X (purchased June 2012), just placed the battery and power/proximity/light sensor module(lock button broke), and since my proximity and light sensor do not appear to work (no auto screen adjustments and no screen off during calls).
I've tried apps to adjust the parameters for these sensors, but to no avail.
I have also noted a significant reduction in battery life (my old one was pretty bad, but this is even worse) 100% battery going in about 4 hours.
Battery seems to be used mainly by Android OS when looking in the settings menu. But as this doesn't tell much, I've been using wakelock detector, with this I can see that my phone rarely goes into deep sleep, and is awake around 90% of the time for a typical day. all wakelocks seem normal - usual syncing stuff, but kernel wakelocks seem over active with proximity being number 1 on the list, with a timer of roughly that of the % of awake time. In a 2 hour period, proximity was counted 20,000 times. I'm not phone genius, but this doesn't seem right to me...
I'm thinking that the new module I fitted is faulty? Is there anyway I could test this to be the case? or any advise on more trouble shooting?
Need any more information, give me a shout.

[Q] Motion Launch is draining the battery

I've had this phone for almost 3 weeks now and I have been experiencing battery drainage when on standby. My battery would start off at 100% when I unplug it from the charger, and without using at all after half an hour I'd find it at 93 - 95%. So I installed a battery monitor (GSam Battery Monitor) and after a week I found that there were 2 things consuming most of the battery, the screen and multiple apps. So I decided to do a factory reset and test out the phone with the apps that came with the phone. The battery life improved slightly but it was still too much. I decided to check out the display, at first I thought it might be the brightness but then I remembered that motion launch also uses the screen (duh!). I turned it off today and so far I've only lost only 2% battery in 1 hour and 37 min, on standby. This is good and all but I really like motion launch, it's easier than reaching for the top of my phone when I'm using it with one-hand . My question is, does anyone have the same problem as I do? Cause if so it might be an issue with all the One (M8) phones running the software. If not, It might be my phone and I can send it to get fixed or something. Thanks

I don't have this issue.I have viper rom installed and motion launch all the time and I lose only 2% in 8 hours in standby.My screen on time is 7h30min.Try another rom or send it to change with another one.cheers
Motion launch isn't draining battery for me. I lose about 1-2 % when I leave it for the whole night
Motion launch shouldn't use much battery. Firstly the screen isn't always on waiting for touch input as you say. The touch response is only awakened when the phone sensors pick up movement. For this the HTC one uses a new device called a fusion sensor hub. This hub is a collection of sensors and is able to have active sensors that don't need the cpu and thus have a very low power requirement.
I'd look more into display options and turning the WiFi off when not needed and disabling some of the sync options.
I don't think that the battery draining has something with the motion launch to do. For example for me during the night on airplane mode, lose about 0,5% per hour.

Yeah I think my issue is with sync. I'll test it out for the week maybe something will change. Thanks

So I decided to try Wakelock Detector, I found something called "1013" keeping my phone almost 2 hours awake. I researched it and found no solutions to this problem just people reporting on the same issue with other devices. The app also showed me that my phone only gets 3 hours of deep sleep and it stays 8 hours awake. How can I fix this on a non-rooted device?
Edit: I found something that says that the 1013 is a partial wakelock and can be solved by a silencing touch sounds. Going to try it out and post the results here

[Q] Sensors draining all the battery even in sleep mode

Hi guys, even though my Battery Life is certified as good, the "Screen time" use of the phone is only about 2 hours of light use. I found it curious, so i've took a closer look after i rooted my 4.2.2 stock version rom, just to find out that my Panasonic 3 axis sensor (gyro) is allways on and the light sensor is on just as well but for about the quarter of the duration. I specify that i do not use the automatic brightness or other apps that might use one of these 2 features in standby. Any advice is well recieved, thanks

Battery drain issue from AoD service with no AoD enabled

Hey guys have been having pretty bad battery drain from my new S20 4g Exynos. My old S9+ has better battery life than this.
I have installed GSam and it seems apps are using ~95% of my battery in basically 100% standby. The largest is com.samsung.android.app.aodservice which is the always on display. I have already turned off all AoD services as well as the fingerprint icon when screen is off. Despite doing all this I can still put my finger on the screen after the phone has been locked and it unlocks with my fingerprint. Is there another setting I am missing to turn off, is it even configurable? Or am I having some sort of glitch?
9GAG as well was using lots of battery even if I had it in deep sleep and never even opened it after a reboot, so I have uninstalled that for now.
Looks like a glitch, either disable the service or wipe the phone.
I'm assuming the battery usage is the glitch you are referring to. If I disable the service and re-enable would that fix it you think? Our I would need to reset? I spent like a week getting this all setup already.
Also for the unlock without turning the screen on or waking, is that normal behaviour for everyone else or is it a setting/glitch?

I am having the same readings from gsam. But Samsung battery stats say AOD used 3% battery. Not sure which is wrong

Consider setting GSam to record battery usage since full charged instead since last unpluged it's better.Because you get real usage and screen on time for only that 100% of battery.

"Enable more stats" in gsam.
There is description how to enable it.
It is not aod that is draining the battery, I've got the same issue, I uninstalled AOD using ADB it didn't change anything

Do you have AoD enabled though? I have everything turned off and it is still chugging my battery
Package Disabler Pro, disable the service, no root needed either
So as an updated I disabled all AoD things with CCWSE and AoD is still chewing battery in the background as well as CCWSE now.... sigh

That is bizarre. Re-enable AOD in CCSWE, then use CCSWE to wipe AOD data (tap AOD icon, look at bottom of screen and tap "Wipe data") and disable AOD again. Restart phone and leave it alone for a few minutes to let GSam battery collect data. Open GSam battery, tap the triangle/delta icon at the bottom of screen, choose "Since screen off" and see if AOD/CCSWE is still consuming battery.
So I did a factory reset and same thing happening even, without installing anything but GSAM and giving it permission. Turning off all AoD options didn't do anything. However when enabling power saving and ticking the option to turn off AoD it seems to be dropping the battery use from the service like crazy. Will need a few days of testing to see if this can fix the problem. However leaving in battery saving means I can't enjoy anything above 60hz refresh.
I noticed AOD consuming more battery following ADT1 update. I've never used AOD and it was always low on the GSam battery monitor list. But now it is #4 on the list, using 4% battery even when "disabled".

I'm still on ATD3 and have between 1.2-1.7% on Gsam, depending on how much notification i get .... using "Tap to show" on AOD along with aodNoti..app...

Main AOD service can not be disabled. There is no option to disable. This problem is related to fingerprint tracker while the phone is in standby. It's always on because you maybe need to unlock the phone any time. If you disable online fingerprint scanner (com.samsung.android.app.aodservice) then you loose fingerprint scanner while the phone is in standbye. So you should first wake on your phone from standby (by double tab the screen or push the power key) then put your finger on fingerprint scanner.
To disable AOD, Just Enable USB debugging mode then enter command:
adb shell pm disable-user com.samsung.android.app.aodservice
note: If you got successful you should receive (Package com.samsung.android.app.aodservice new state: disabled-user)
That's all.

Default camera app battery drain

I recently bought this phone, I updated everything system, apps......the camera keeps running the background, even when I have closed the app.....
Problems does go away if I clear data of camera app...but I don't want to do this everytime.......I bought the same phone for my mum, and same thing is happening there too, on top of that in her phone chrome is consuming a lot of battery even when the phone is idle...... please help me out
Also I did try that restrict background activity but that option did nothing and the time on "while in background" kept on increasing
P.S location was off.
Never happened this problem to my European LG G7 Thinq (LMG710EM).
Anyway you have to turn off "background activity flag" to stop background activities of any app (do it for each app).
But consider also that the 7% of battery may be consumed just in that 11 minutes.
Shooting photo consumes a lot of battery...
After a week I have figured that you need to compromise on 2 features to get a good battery life ......1st obvious one was always on display, after disabling that, battery life increased a lot, but my idle battery drain was still 1-2 % per hour with wifi turned off.......2nd I disabled the double tap to wake (knock on) and hallelujah! Now on idle it barely drains 1-2% overnight.....
This is a great phone but lacks in the battery department...I mean, I don't mind disabling aod but double tap to wake is a great feature to have...too bad it drains the battery like hell
