[Q] Gallery app eating battery ?

Dear all,
It seems that after I launch the Photo Gallery app once, it will eat battery (according to the "battery usage" graph in the settings) quite a lot, even if I don't use it at all. It will easily eat 25-30% of the battery.
I can't kill it either. Or rather, if I kill everything it will kill it someway, but not with the "Gallery" name.
Anyone faced that issue ?

i have the exact same problem, when i looked at my tab this morning the battery was really low so i looked at the battery use and the gallery app was at 32%. I only opened it once.

Maybe you have lots of Picasa web albums and the tab is scanning them to appear on the gallery ?

I only have one picture, and im not connected to any online album.

Can confirm the problem with the Gallery-app.
Charged the battery last night, opened gallery once this morning (viewed a couple of pictures) and closed it right after.
Now looking at the battery usage and the gallery is at 37%.. :-/
Only two Picasa webalbums and a total of 20 pictures (all downloaded to the phone three days ago).

I don't experience any battery drain with the Gallery app... And I have around 3Gb of pictures (+- 800 pics) on the internal memory...
How can you say for sure that the Gallery app is the cause of this?

@turt:
Well..
Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Battery use:
18h 39m 34s since unplugged
Gallery: 37%
Display: 36%
Wi-Fi: 10%
Cell standby: 6%
Android System: 6%
Phone idle: 3%
mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser: 2%

Pretty damning evidence. This is where taskkillers still have value. Use the Gallery app then kill the app.

I used task killer, the app is killed but still drains battery. Only thing i have found out to work is to turn the device off then on again.

It gets run automatically after disconnecting the usb (possibly after media scanning). Eventually I just used Titanium Backup to freeze it, and just use a different image viewer.

Then you'll have to root your device and use autostarts to disable it from all instances.

Well in my case I've tried rebooting the Galaxy Tab, then open the Gallery app, then look at some pictures, then exit the app with the "back" button (so I didn't kill it). I've then left the Galaxy Tab unused in standby, and after an hour the gallery app was still at 3% usage.
So I'm not sure what's wrong with yours or if I'm doing something different but there's definitely no problem with the Gallery app on mine...
BTW I'm using the stock firmware XXJID.

Just a thought, but to reproduce the issue you could try connecting and disconnecting it from USB (including mount and unmount), so that it triggers the media scanning behaviour...
Start with the gallery app not running.

I don't have my tab with me right now but I'll test.
Anyway it shouldn't make any difference since the media scanning also occurs at startup of the Tab...

Just some pictures to show:

Creepy galleryapp :-/

Based on Android's battery info panel, the display consumes most of the energy on my Galaxy Tab. I had a pretty short runtime yesterday, far from the 7/8 hours reported by other reviewers. I'll see if it improves, it may be because my Tab kept searching for an open Wifi network whilst there was none for most of the time that the Tab was half-asleep in my pocket (or used for gaming without need for internet access)...I guess I could just leave my voice SIM card on, but turn Wifi off.

I too have the same problem..gallery app is using loads of battery.. :S any solutions for this?

Well after hours of standby the gallery app is still 1-2% of total use, my main battery use being the display!
I think maybe the difference is when I quit the gallery app, I do so by clicking "Back" as many times as needed. Then the app is not anymore in the running apps, I don't have to kill it.
To everyone having this issue, maybe you could try this?

I get the issue without running Gallery at all. Reboot the phone, don't run Gallery. Connect to USB, transfer some videos (not sure if this step is essential), disconnect from USB. Some time later, without ever having actually run the gallery app or noticed it listed as running in the Task Manager, Gallery is listed as having taken 32% battery.
Autostarts shows that Gallery is triggered by several system events, including Media Scanning. My best guess is that when triggered after USB disconnecting, it then runs silently in the background and some bug sticks it into an infinite loop, or maybe it's just really badly written and actually does spend that much CPU doing work.
Anyway, freezing it with Titanium Backup solves the issue. Just have to get a different image viewing program.

I used titanbackup app and frooze the gallery app, after this i havnt had any problems with the app consuming battery reboot after freezing the app.
a day later unfrooze the gallery app, it seems to have solved the problem.

First lol!!
Its rather fast for changing rom now.. But anyway, lets see..

Battery, RAM & Performance Tweaking Guide
**BATTERY CALIBRATION**
Charge your Battery to a 100%:
-> WIPE BATTERY STATS
-> REMOVE Charger
-> Use for complete cycle (to nearly 10%)
-> Do not reboot anywhere in between
-> CHARGE to 100% (and give additional 1 hour after that)
-> Enjoy COMPLETE BATTERY CYCLE
This ensures that when your battery shows 5% remaining, it actually is 5% instead of really being 15%. That's why battery calibration is important. It doesn't improve battery life, but gives you your COMPLETE Battery life.
MORE:
- Go to SETTINGS>DEVELOPER OPTIONS
- Force 2D GPU rendering
**RAM Cleaning**
- Do not use task killers
- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND
APP QUARANTINE on Play Store
Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!
**DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER**
Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.

[Q] Scheduled "Extended Battery Mode"

[Q] Scheduled "Extended Battery Mode"
I would like to ask you if anybody knows how to set up the schedule time for turning on/off "Extended Battery Mode".
I tried SmartConnect from SONY but this app can only open the system settings shortcut in the specific time, but it cannot actually turn on/off Extended Battery Mode.
I have my Xperia V rooted.
Any answers appreciated.
Thanks.

But Smartconnect can disable/enable any connections (bluetooth,wifi,data,sound etc.) at a specific time, isnt it the same, but a different way?
I'm using it as some sort of automatic profiles service for specific times.

Yes, you are right - but I like the way how STAMINA and Ext. Battery Mode handles the battery.
(I would love to have real STAMINA mode on my Xperia V, but it is not possible.)
I would like to have:
- when battery lower than 20%, turn on Ext. Battery Mode
- when time from 23:00 to 6:00, turn on Ext. Battery Mode.
(I tried many Battery Saver app, however it actually does not work.)
Can you share with me some of your profiles in SmartConnect?
How did you set it up?
Thanks.

one setting i use mostly every day:
when time: 23:50-5:30 (Every Day)
startaction: disable bluetooth, disable mobile data, disable wifi, brigthness 7%
endaction: enable mobile data, brightness 40%
another thing i use:
when 22:00-7:00 (Monday-Friday)
startaction: Soundmode silent
endaction: Soundmode normal
something like this, i think its a good start, if you wanne keep open your smartphone at night. i had 3% battery usage last night (8hours)
(i also use greenify donate version, stock sony fw)
but the battery usage will vary from user to user, its up to the personal usage and what apps you use (in background and so on)
if my battery under 20% then i can manually turn down brightness, disable 3g (enable only 2g) i dont need my smartphone for that.i understand people like to have automatic functions like that, but i personal not think its necessary to have everything automatic.

Thanks.
1. Do you have any other Battery Saver installed?
2. We have almost the same settings. However, I found out that if you have Location-based WIFI enabled, it has higher priority than SmartConnect.
startaction: disable bluetooth, disable mobile data, disable wifi, brigthness 7% => WIFI will automatically turn on after few minutes.
I like this feature that saves battery while there is no known WIFI, but I would have it turned off during the night.

i use only greenify.
not using Location-based WIFI...i deleted that apk.

Ok, what did you GREENIFIED?
Any tips for smoother running?

if you use an app like sd maid, then maybe you noticed that apps like walkman are running in background, also DLNA/TV App-Starter and other stuff.
with donate version i can greenify system apps like walkman (experimental feature)
and i noticed that Xperia Home wakes up sony apps like walkman. (in greenify it said it) so i greenify stuff like walkman. but will it help for better battery life? no idea...i just think why it should run alltime in background the walkman or DLNA or whatever...for a faster first start i guess, but whatever.
but i never had a bad batterylife with stock fw. (also without greenify it was ok)

Thanks.
I used Wakelock Detector and I found out that many so called Batter Savers are not savers.
Why? They woke up my device so many times that it would have definitely affected my battery.
E. g. JuiceDefender - it woke up my device from DeepSleep app. 200x during 8 hrs.

Extended Battery Mode does a little more than just shutting off Bluetooth and Wifi. It also stops a number of backgrounds processes to be active.
The request for a scheduled Extended Battery Mode is a reasonable one, IMO. For example because enabling it kills functioning notification and reminders. To my personal opinion a selector what should be muted down would also be a good thing. Or the entire stamina thing should be integrated with Greenify, which in the end has exactly the purpose saving on system resources (and therefore battery power).
The basic thought of just letting things run is a comparable wrong idea as letting TV's, Surround Receiver and other household items in stand-bye. We all now now that this has been a real silly idea.

Thank you for supporting my idea.
Can you tell me what kind of app you have greenified?
Thanks.
P.S. I tried e.g. Tapatalk 4 - and it "Failed to put to hibernation".

Basically everything that does not require a widget to run, or alerts / alarms to be active. First I did not think so much of it, but Greenify has become my favourite app drawer, so to say. I think it's time for me changing to the donate version.
I got used to it but of course it's not a real app drawer. The idea shoot into my head, what if there was a launcher with a build in App Drawer that has the capability to greenify?
Sorry for the diversion from the subject.
I thought Sony including Superstamina in Smart Connect would be useful. It has already some system profiler functionality, and could be made even more being one.

I must say that Greenify is awesome. This guy should definitely work for Google.
He should show them how to handle the battery consumption.
However, I have still the problems. I did the test during the night:
- turned off WIFI + mobile data
- all apps available were greenified (Google Maps + Google Search as well)
... but still, my battery went down for 6% - check it.
Any suggestions?
I really do not understand why the phone needs to do wakelock almost every 30 seconds.

Same XV on stock ROM. Over night 1 % drop, sometimes nothing. Airplane mode, Extended Battery on.
No solution just a suggestion. Uninstall everything you don't need. Greenify Talk.

1. What do you use for auto Airplane Mode?
2. If I Greenify Hangouts, I will not receive push info - we use it in my company.

I am using airplane mode manually. I just accept to switch off /disable a couple of things when not needed. I used a number of profilers /schedulers in the past. In short, most cause more work than they save. If you believe you may need one, try Profile Widget, it's one of the most simple, hassle free.
My feeling about Hangouts is uninstalling it, and using the previous Talk.It is not as a fat pig. You likely still would not get notifications if it's greenified. I greenify it before I sleep.

I saw that the problem of Wakelock is NLPWakelock + NLPWakelockCollector = from 14 hrs it ran about 7 hrs. according to WL Detector.
(It is Google Now - but the worst is that I disabled all the stuff related to location in Google Now.)

Pebble Battery Drain on Phone?

I know that the Pebble only uses 5-10% of the phone's battery because of Bluetooth, but how much battery will the Pebble app, Pebble Notifier, and like three other Pebble apps use? Will they use minimal battery life (about 2-5%?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Even less than 2-5% in my experience. I don't find them in my usage stats
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Xperia Z

I haven't seen it in my battery stats either using a N5. Even if it does take a bit of battery, remember that you're most likely going to be looking at your phone less and the constant lock/unlock should improve your battery.

This thread may be old, but I just came in to say that this comment is very true. Based on your kernel's governor settings (that throttle the CPU) you'll save a serious amount of battery even before considering the screen will be on less often.

With my N5, I have lots of awakes from Pebble app (v2.4 beta) which drains the battery of the smartphone. I'm using Dalvik because ART has a bug with the bluetooth with lots of awakes. Can anyone help me, please?

I've had a pebble for 4 months and haven't had it show up on my list in battery stats. That's using the pebble app, pebble notifier and canvas. Even using a watchface from canvas that shows weather and battery info doesn't cause a drain. And I wear my pebble 10+hrs a day.

Update:
I am seeing a lot of nlpwakelock triggered from Pebble app.

I would wager either simple weather or yahoo weather(or both) are what's causing your wakelock issue. They tend to ping your phone at regular intervals and also when you switch to their watchface on the pebble, making the bt radio active and phone awake more often.

I agree with you. I tried to uninstall all the watchfaces that visualise the weather and seems that wakelocks never appear. Anyone can confirm this?

I use weather update function from Canvas for Pebble and my Pebble can last 5 days. However, I agree with the other poster that Yahoo Weather maybe the culprit. Yahoo always installs tracking codes for ad (spam) purposes. While ads currently do not display on your Pebble, I have to believe there are codes related to the overall Yahoo weather engine that constantly ping; consequently, causing wakelocks.

so that means even if the watch face is not active, the code is still running in the background?!?! or are we talking about that there are portion of codes running under the Pebble app?

It depends. If the app shows up in your list of running apps (settings - apps - running), then obviously it's using battery. It depends on what data a watchface pulls. If it doesn't poll your phone constantly, then the phone shouldn't be using battery.

Are you referring to android app or watch app? I am referring to the Yahoo Weather watch app, which pulls the weather info from somewhere. the assumption is that it connects to Pebble android app to get location; thus the nlpwakelock, and then pulls the necessary data from Yahoo weather API. If the Yahoo weather app is not running (active watchface), does it still run and pull location at the predetermine frequency?

See, that's what I'm not sure, you'll have to test. I do not use the Yahoo app; I don't know that when the watchface isn't active, does that app simply not displaying the watchface, but still runs in the background, or is it completely inactive altogether? I'm guessing that if the face isn't active, then there would be no reason for the Yahoo app to run. I thought you already stated that you did not experience wakelocks when you stopped using the Yahoo weather app.

Question Has anyone installed BetterBatteryStats? Help please!

Anyone able to please install Better Battery Stats, give it permissions, and let me know if you have 19f00000.decon_0 in your kernel wakelocks? Would be much appreciated before I reset my phone / launch it out of the window
Can't find any info on what 19f00000.decon_0 is
The app is free on XDA but I bought it for £2.99 or something from Play Store, seemed fair and the guy himself said the XDA ones aren't necessarily up to date
Couple of links that were useful to me:

It is frustrating me why mine isn't going into deep sleep and I can't figure out why.
Me, did not use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 1.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to vary between 50-70% roughly
Friend, did use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 0.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to be much higher around 90%
I found an app on XDA which is meant to give insight into what is keeping phone awake, Better Battery Stats (need to give some permissions using ADB) - in the "partial wakelocks" section there is nothing high, mainly 0% values, 3% for whatsapp web. In "kernel wakelocks" there are some high values like 60% but they are things like PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManager.SuspendLockout at 60% and 19f00000.decon_0 at 60% also

Don't know the answer but I would suggest looking at battery historian as well - you export a bug report and it breaks everything down for you really well

Try disabling all power management. It's been known to cause conflicts.
Close all app windows before power down.
Goggle Transport and cloud apps are known trouble makers...

Sorry bit of a noob - where would I disable power management?
Google Cloud apps like Google Photos?
What do you mean about closing app windows before powering down?

Well... you need to pay attention to what you toggle on or off. Only fast charging should be enabled and power mode.
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is running.
Goggle almost everything... Gmail is all I use and it's set to manual sync. Disable all auto sync and all feedback, Google, Samsung and carrier.
Close all open user apps.

Cheers! I will take a look at those options Thank you!

Any news for 19f00000.decon_0 ?
