Same issu here... I think that all custom roms has this problem... But I was told that could be a recovery problem(because it also wakes up when charging) so I'm using AOKP(v1.2 AWESOME battery life now) with TWRP recovery (I was using CWM)... Tonight I'm gonna check if it still waking up itself.
The recovery has little to do with the running ROM. Clockworkmod switches on the phone when nearly charged.
The phone waling and screen.coming on is much more likely to be a rogue app.

try a fresh install performing full wipe, clearing cache and dalvik cache and also use fastboot erase cache command before flashing boot img
i am also on viper 2.01 and don't have any such problems
There is no way...
I just tried everything..
With any custom rom and custom recovery, the phone wake up itself when charging off...
Only with the stock rom and oficial recovery it works Ok. Hope they find a solution..
I noticed there is some kind of pattern, the screen all of a sudden starts to turn itself on and off slowly and then faster and then it reaches a point where it stays on for about 10 seconds and then goes back off for a while.. it's very strange !! i've been using viperX for a long time and this never happened... at first i thought it was the productivity lockscreen notifying me of new emails or smth but that wasnt it... i only have google apps, xda app, facebook and chrome.. could it be one of these?? maybe its an app that uses internet because i noticed it happens much less or sometimes doesnt happen at all when i turn wifi off
task killer or smart stay ex
Had happened to me last evening. Random auto wakeup, first the touch buttons lightup and then
the screen. Then it goes to sleep on its own and then wakeup again. At first I thought it was related
to motion sensor because it always managed to coincide when I started typing in my laptop. But later
I noticed it wasn't the case as I was away from the table when it reached a very fast frequency
similar to notification LED,flashing sleeping flashing sleeping.... then complete sleep.
Went in task manager in search of rouge app, found "HTC Hub","Google Search","Google Play"
and a few other were constantly being slaughtered by the "Android Task Killer Free".
Exited the "Android Task Manager Free" and the auto wakeup has completely disappeared since then.
I also closed smart stay EX, which might have been the culprit as well since I have got dust in my front
camera and those might be recognized as faces or eyes?
I suggest you check for stray apps or task killers.
Make sure that none of the apps(background) crashing or being killed.
I believe custom roms try to enhance the performance by limiting the minimum
memory balance before which background inactive apps are killed by android.
Might be the cause but not quite sure.
So thats that, worth a try. Go to [Apps-->Running] and check if some app is disappearing and reappearing
on its own. Force stop it. Reboot the phone. Avoid any memory tweaking and task killer,
android is smart enough to know when to kill and when to keep apps.
Note: I am running a stock 4.0.3(1.29), no unlock,rooting etc...
Good luck

That worked !! but in a different way, i have no task killers and the ROM did not kill apps before because it didnt use to happen until recently, but i tried to clean up my phone and uninstalled some apps and it stopped since then, problem is i uninstalled them all at once so i dont know which app exactly was the cause but sure it was one of 'em.. maybe it got corrupted and started crashing in the background or something because i didnt install any apps recently... this didnt happen not even once since i cleaned up those apps.. thanx a lot for helping
So the root cause could be thee Apps that has permissions to wack/prevent (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK) your devices from sleeping..
I experienced it occasionally while 'smart stay EX' was on beta time..

I recommend installing "Wakelock detector" which shows statistics of WAKE_LOCK usage !!
I have the LG G4 with T-mobile and I frequently stream music with Slacker. I have noticed quite a few times that is the music app is streaming in the background (and the screen is off), the application will close completely and stop playing. This does not appear to happen when the app is in the foreground. I do not have any task killing applications installed and I was wondering if others had seen behavior like this? Any thoughts on how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
Same to me but with endomondo
What is probably happening, well has to be getting killed by the garbage collector, but why could be a few things.. if it's doing it when your screen is off its the device going into deep sleep and slacker is not pushing a persistent enough service to give it a higher priority to keep the device awake when the screen is off which there wouldn't really be much you can do besides using an app like Tasker or a robot To 4 + device awake while the screen is off and there's probably some other apps that will do it too. That's one way to test and at least find out if that's what's going on. And another likely reason would be simply the phone is being pushed into out of memory situation and Android is killing off everything which would only happen if you had a **** pile of apps running and I still don't see slacker having a low enough priority to be killed so quickly. I would have to know a little more about what all you have running on your device at the time it is being closed
Through my ancient eyes comes the certainty of decay... LG G4 & L 70
The G4 features a Smart Notice which allows me to stop "frozen" apps sucking on my battery. However, it seems that it does not work with all apps. For example, since a few days I have the AndStatus app running in the background without me noticing it. Tapping the "stop this app" button does not solve the issue, it keeps reappearing.
What am I doing wrong?

Many android apps are hard coded nowadays to run a persistent background service that has a higher priority to keep the system from killing it. This is good in theory if you need the app to be very reliable for updates or notifications, but poorly written apps can lag your phone and you can't kill it. Even force stopping them will result in the app immediately restarting which burns even more resources. So its better just to leave running or uninstall it. With a rooted phone you can freeze apps completely but the icon won't even be in you launcher cuz frozen or disabled is like being uninstalled basically. So yea it sucks but there's just not much that can be done accept try to run better built apps and less of them ..or root lol
Just remember killing or stopping apps like that will only cause more problems from the continuous restarting

It should not restart, it should just stay away.
Hello everyone, I recently picked up a fire phone. I am running the stock software but I used bootstrapper to downgrade back to 4.6.3 so I can install the play store and nova launcher. The battery life is atrocious and it seems to be stemming from the screen not staying off due to a constant stream of BS notifications that turn and keep the screen on. Some were from apps but most were from the system regarding wallpapers, lock-screens ect. I left the phone on the desk untouched and watched the battery drop 30% in a couple hours.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so how did you resolve it? I could not find any setting that would allow me to stop notifications or stop them from turning the screen on. Thanks in advance.
Go into settings then sound and notifications. You'll be able to select which apps notify you. Better than that though is to uninstall any crappy apps that insist on spamming you.
Hi, I need a bit of help please with my P6 still on 4.2.2 my issue is a massive drain on battery life apparently being caused by Android OS using up around 70%. I have only wifi and mobile internet running with location etc turned off. One thing that I'm unable to control the background apps manager setting properly in that the only app I want to keep running is WhatsApp so I set the All button to off. However in next to no time I find it has switched itself back to on.
I've been through manage apps and turned off or disabled pretty well all that I dare.
Many thanks in advance.
Oh, just to add a little more information if I try to access Start up manager I get a "Power manager has stopped working" message.
Is there some way I could reinstall or repair the Power manager?
Unfortunately WhatsApp seems to override sleep on a lot of systems so you may be in a situation where it is constantly waking itself up.
Try just letting it run i.e don't try to stop it in start manager.
Thanks for that, the problem doesn't appear to be with WhatsApp because when I look at the battery consumption tab the biggest user by far, and mean at up to 70% is the android OS.
I only mention start up manager as it's one of the items controlled through power manager. My real issue is the background apps manager self enabling all background apps.
I'm really trying to avoid doing a factory reset if possible.
