Battery Drain - X2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm facing a problem with the messaging app. It keeps my phone always awake. This issue is detected by betterbatterystats and a wakelock detector. My phone gives me around 4 hours of screen time but I wonder if I can get more? Anybody facing similar problem?

I run ES Task Manager to automatically kill apps that aren't being used every few minutes and I get about an extra half hour out of it

1. turn off "Daydream" and "Glance" by setting--display
2. do not use "live wallpaper"
3. always use animations on "0.5" --settings--developer options
4. turn of "always awake" -- settings--developer options
5. set ur brightness low as possible
6. use apps kill app like "quickly recent app" and close all apps time to time.
7. turn off GPS and Data (when u dont need).
(For long life battery, use specific battery charger, lets the battery drained minimum of 4% then charge "if possible switch off the device and charge it".

Thank you all for your help. I had to freeze the stock messaging app using titanium backup to solve the battery drain issue. I'm currently using an alternative app.

its not working for me............tell me solution

I'm having the same issue. The phome was okey during first 7-8 months, and this issue came. For now, I just open the app, go back and close it from recent apps when I detect the massenging app is opened. It works sometimes. ?

Is it the stock messaging app on stock rom? If yes then just remove the damn thing, I also had this issue, tried everything I can think of then finally gave up and replaced it with textra.

Nexus One never sleeping

I have tried searching the forums but have found nothing yet, so I was hoping someone could help me. I am currently using Enomther's rom, but this has happened on every rom I've tried (Desire, Cyan, etc.). My problem is the Nexus One is running 100% of the time. In comparison, the screen was on for 5.2% of the time. And I have definitely noticed the battery. Even if in standby, it loses 10-20% battery an hour. By the time I make it home from school, I have about 20% battery left, with almost no usage whatsoever. I've checked to see if it's any apps that won't close, but my highest used app was only a few minutes according to spare parts. Cpu usuage is barely visible as well in spare parts.

Looks like an application is holding the wake lock. Instant Messengers are good candidates for draining the battery. In my experience, Meebo loses connection frequently, and eBuddy has a mode to keep the connection, but it drains the battery very fast (AFAIR it has a mode that's easier on the battery by checking for messages every 15 minutes, but that's not all that instant anymore).
Good job you have AnyCut installed.
Use it to place a shortcut to the 'Testing' app (or dial *#*#4636#*#*), and use that to look at your battery history.
This will be able to confirim if your N1 is indeed staying awake, and if you use the 'partial wake usage' drop down box, it will tell you what's keeping it that way.
For partial wake usage, the only thing that pops out Android System which has a full bar. Nothing else is above a sliver.
Since you have titanium backup, why not make a backup, completely wipe your phone, and see if the problem persists? Then, add components at a time and see when the problem reappears. ie ROM -> a few apps -> a few apps -> etc. This will narrow down your search and hopefully pinpoint the problem.
You also might wanna look at logcat (e.g. via aLogCat), sometimes there are a lot of messages of runaway applications.
Here's my logcat

No spare parts?
Downlaod it and try setting the end button behavious to go to sleep.
Seems like an obvious thing, but its worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.

Yep, of course I have spare parts. I set that, but what exactly is the end button?
Edit* I've uninstalled every app on my phone, and yet the problem still persists. Running 100% of the time. What the heck is wrong with my phone?

I think your best bet us to just wipe everything, and reinstall the rom. That should get things going smoothly.
do you have trackball succession mod? that may be the reason.

No, but I did have trackball wake enabled. Would that matter? Also, I've installed Cyan and the problem seems to be gone, although battery still isn't great :/
I would figure that trackball wake will keep waking your phone when you accidentally hit the trackball when the phone is in your pocket or bags?

One thing to check that I've run in to twice (unfortunately) is constant "syncing" of email. I only noticed it because the email app constantly showed the syncing circle (not in the notification bar, in the app). Clearning the storage/settings for email cleared it up, but it took a few days to find out what was causing it to never sleep.

Yes but my phones running 100% of the time and my screens running 1/20 of that time. Surely my screen on time would increase as well? As well I'm sitting in class half the day and know for sure that I'm not hitting the trackball.

Thanks, I'm going to look into this. Would this correspond to UID 10014 or Media having extremely high network usage as well? I just noticed these two things constantly have full network usage bars but don't know exactly what either are. How would I clear the settings/storage? I'm using a Desire Rom now if it matters.

FRF91 freezes 5 times daily?

What is going on here? It either freezes when:
1) slide-to-unlocking
2) switching between programs
3) google sync icon shows up in notification bar
4) in apps
Need to pull battery all the time! What's going on?
I've had this ever since the FRF50! I'm so annoyed and want to go back to 2.1, but I do love the battery life I'm getting with FRF91.
Any help please?
Sorry, realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Can MODS transfer the thread to Q&A?
I'm getting freezes on the same situations you have posted. However not with the same frequency as you. Mine is 1-2 daily.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
strange, my phone is stock and ive had none of these issues, i actually thought my battery life had worsened since 91. It seems like the green meter doesnt drain as quick but the actual percentage drains faster than ever for me, at least i think so
This should unusual and should not be happening. Wipe everything and reflash.
That's Strange... I haven't had any freezes since installing the FRF91 OTA.

Yepp, same here! Never had a single freeze/lock-up since I manually updated to FRF91 from EPF21.
Hardware Issue
Seem to me you either have a defective apps or widget, a defective SD or a hardware issue like defective video ram or something like that, you could try to use a benchmark app like quadrant this may help pinpoint the exact subsystem that cause crash (video, cpu, ram) and try running stock OS with almost nothing loaded ...
This is assuming you are running from a clean install, When you have issue it's always a good idea to clean install (full wipe etc...)
Try to go to bootloader (press and hold trackball when power on), then go to recovery and clear out cache.
Mine is stock and sometimes it freeze when I tried to unlock. I had to turn the screen off and on 1-2 times to make it work again
Following your advice and let me monitor for a day or so. If doesn't work I will wipe everything and reflash.
Thanks!

wipe everything and flash both FRF91 and the latest gapps.
1. How many app you have and 2 are they on your SD? If you have alot of apps ittaking up your internal space causing you to freeze.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I actually installed spare parts the same day i installed stock frf91, so i am not sure who is the culprit. It didnt happen today, but froze yesterday and the day before.
turned off all the animations (transition/window) to get maximum speed out of my n1 using spare-parts maybe thats causing the craziness no?
Same here, 2 or 3 times per days.
I have found that cpu is burned by com.android.email ! This apps eat all cpu power when there is no wifi/data connections available and it try to sync mail...
The phone become unresponsive or very slow until connection return or I kill the app.

[V20A] Deep Sleep issue possible solution

Hi everyone,
I've had weird battery life with my phone since I flashed official V20A. Sometimes the phone goes into perfect deep sleep and sometimes it gets stuck at 51 MHz and drains battery like hell !
There are many people here complaining about the same problem and that the phone drains battery quickly over night.
The cause of this problem for me is that Mediaserver keeps running in the background even though I'm not listening to any music. Usually happens when I unplug my Headphones without pausing the music first (and sometimes it happens for no specific reason).
To check if this is also causing a problem with your phone, go to Settings - Power saver - Battery use - scroll down and tap "Mediaserver". Look at "Keep awake” and know the exact time, go back and wait for a few seconds then open Mediaserver again. If Keep awake time has increased and you're not playing any music, that means it's causing deep sleep issues.
The solution of this is to simply play then pause music payer (I use PlayerPro).
I have no idea what's causing this but this seems to be a temporary solution for me.
Let me know if this also works with you
I think i have the same problem,but i dont use the music player and i dont have any music on my phone.
The awake time of media server is 8h 33m. Any other solution maybe?
I don't have media server at all but in running application i always find active DMClient running as process in Software Update, PC suite and Google Play app.
But i noticed something that might solve my problem but i don't know how to do it. After i flashed to v20a first couple days i had 1-2% drain per night, but after a played in hidden menu trying to change FOTA server to EU-server my phone starrted to drain 12-15% per night.
Can i disable DMClient or FOTA?

wake up screen on notifications

My Nokia 8 doesn't have the wake up on notifications, maybe I have to enable something that I miss?
No, it's normal.
You can download some apps in the playstore that will solve the problem, however I never find one that doesn't drain the battery.
I use whatsapp + textra SMS , and both apps allow the screen to wake up when notifs comes in. And the battery doesn't suffer.

Textra sms is an app?
But which app do you use for the wake up?
Textra is an SMS app. And you have the option to ask the screen to wake up each time you receive a notification.
I just use Glimpse Notifications. It works perfectly and I've never noticed any significant battery drain.

P20 Pro killing whatsapp...

Hi guys, my phone apparently kills whatsapp, no matter what I do. I added it to exceptions everywhere: battery optimization, application start to manually, everything. Still my phone kills whatsapp and I dont get any notifications until I start the application. Its like is goes in a deep sleep or smth. My Mate 20 pro did not do that.
Any idea? Thanks a lot

Try resting the phone hardreset. Maybe some missing or another app interfering. Never had issue. So if u removed it and installed it again same issue try resting the phone.
I confirm that reinstalling worked.
