Unexplainable wakelocks - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have the same problem as me? Long wake lock time and the sum shown in wakelock detector doesn't tally with the total time.
If so, did you manage to find out the real culprit of these wakelock? Thanks!
This happens on both 10b Sea and 10f Australia. I have locked bootloader, rooted and installed xposed. This happens too with xposed not installed.

Looks fine to me , did u cancel out the WhatsApp contacts sync under accounts ?
That might help a little, other than that all looks good

Thanks, but what I meant to say was that the total awake time is 16 m and there's no way I can get the number by summing all the individual values (WhatsApp, photos etc)

O so ur looking at the exact time spent for each app/process holding a wakelock...
Tell u the truth I've never added them up to check for exact wakelock time coz as far as I can remember they never were exact amounts of time when u added them up to the total time.
They always were higher than what the total wakelock time is.

for me it's the other way round, the total wake lock time is more that what I can see, hence 'unexplainable'. I guess I just have to live with it then

I have the EXACT same concern as you.
Even in BBS the numbers don't add up. I never found the reason why, my brother said to just live with it.

Did you try checking with the bbs official thread? Very helpful community over there

Its sends multiple messages (the amount you type in) to who ever you want to send them to, you can also set a delay between each msg.
This is fun for people who can take a joke or someone who made an idiot of you, just bomb them with msgs 100+ and usually there phone locks up
This app is great! Great for when someone isn't replying. :good:
Thank you... I really need this... I hate when some one sends me the message about the advertisement...

Very straight forward
for some reason, when I put this apk in my SD card my phone bootloops.... so I deleted it from external sd card via a card reader and now phone is working fine....

[Q] im scared of loosing my phone so how can i track it?

Hey people I was wondering I'm scared to loose my phone and I was wondering is there an app I can use to track my phone? I have avast and it has anti theft but I don't know how to use it to track I also have avast on my laptop soo any suggestions I can try or someone know how to use the avast tracking
Cerberus will do a lot of different things, including track your phone; I highly recommend it.
If you have Sprint's insurance you can download the total equipment protection app from the play store. Once set up you can locate the device and it also backs up your contacts.
Where's My Droid and Androidlost are the ones I use. I think that they are better than the one that came with my insurance.
I tried different apps but finally settled on to Cerberus. I would recommend it to anyone. Just try the free seven day trail.

All these things are moot if a sophisticated person finds your phone and wipes it and installs a new ROM. You can either wish that an average joe who's not advanced finds your phone or your phone stays put where you lost it before it runs out of battery.
TrustGo Security. Register in the website, and add the site to someone else bookmarks. Works for me in less than a minute. Also let the GPS on.

i use android lost personally, but there's a number of apps that do the same thing.
Plan B has worked for me. You can install it even after you've lost it, then it'll show up on your map, you can send messages through it and even sound an alarm. Handy dandy.
preyproject or lookout are the two I recommend as a Police Officer.. Plan B is a part of Lookout that can be downloaded after the fact, if stolen,,
As stated earlier these apps are only useful if you loose your phone and no one picks it up and or some average Joe that isn't smart enough to pull the battery out or just turn off the GPS and data ...

[Q] Facebook making Nexus hot... CPU throttling.

I have installed Facebook 3.1, the latest version. It makes my CPU hit 55 to 60 degrees (Celsius) which is NOT good as my cpu begins to throttle. I can verify this in franco.kernel updater and by running quadrant also the top of my phone is getting really hot.
As soon as I uninstall Facebook my temperature drops to 30 degrees and only goes up to about 45 when doing something like going on Twitter... Why is Facebook doing this when I use it the most on a daily basis..
Also I notice that my phone stays warm-ish even when I am not using the app (facebook isn't keeping the device awake however). I am so confused as to why Facebook is doing this.
P.S I have also tried a later version of facebook and it does the same thing. Please someone clarify that it isn't my phone going wacko and its the app and also its fixable? I do like to go on Facebook when i'm out the house as I keep in contact with people on it
I dont see how Facebook can cause this. I dont use Facebook myself. But maybe try using the web version instead until you find a solution.

I could try but I am so used to getting push notifications to my phone i'd end up forgetting and go the entire day without checking which is bad as I have important things that I need to keep an eye on on facebook.
I dont know if you have access to it man but undervolting or even under clocking a notch if you have the ability will work wonders for that issue

I tried it and didn't like it, also everytime someone tagged me in something it wouldn't show up or even notify me.
Also in reply to lesp4ul I tried what you said but my phone still gets hot. Facebook seems to be constantly requesting access to the CPU. I notice that when facebook is installed Franco Kernel updater tells me that the frequency jumps from 384MHz to 700 all the way to 12xxMHz and does this over and over again with no stops, this makes the temperature jump around all over the place and it is hogging the performance of my phone.
After uninstalling it sits at 384MHz and only moves very rarely (unless i'm touching the screen etc). Again obviously the temperature stays at around 30 degrees. My guess is that the app is just not what it used to be in terms of coding structure.

[APP] Greenify - Save Battery Life

I discovered this gem of an app a couple months ago thanks to an article on Lifehacker. Lifehacker's app recommendations can be hit or miss, so I took this with a grain of salt. But after trying it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier with the results and it's become one of my absolute favorite apps. I've noticed a few of you mentioning it in various forums as well, so apparently word has gotten around! But to those of you who have yet to try Greenify, I would highly recommend it. Basically it "auto-hibernates apps". So, for instance, if you have the Facebook app, but don't necessarily care to have it running in the background eating valuable battery life, Greenify will hibernate that app for you. It's very simple to set up and it has definitely extended my battery life after adding around 7-8 apps to my hibernate list. I'm attaching the Lifehacker article and Google Play links below.

basically, go into "manage apps" -> "running apps" and determine which apps are running that you really do NOT NEED to be running all the time. for me, it was facebook, scramble with friends, beat the streak, play music, and a few others. I then open the greenify app, and selected just those apps. then, greenify will hibernate them so that they are not running in the background. only downside is that I do not get notifications for those apps (which is fine by me). however, I can still access them just fine and they launch very quickly/smoothly as if they were not hibernating.
How did you Greenify Play Music? I don't see it on the list. Is that considered a system app?

Sorry, I had searched Greenify and got to this Razer forum, I have a Nexus 7. "Home" sends me to my home page on it.

Can anybody help me out by explaining (or linking to me an article that explains) how Greenify actually works its magic? Does it just run a service in the background that is constantly monitors active processes that have been "Greenified" and forces these processes to go into "Hibernate" mode when the screen is off, and prevents any partial wakes?
Thanks guys.
Before greenify I would unplug my phone at 930 pm and wake up at 5 am and the battery would be at 78%, with greenify doing the same method I only drop to 88%!

I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.
