[Q] Fast Dormancy/ Battery Drain - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something was draining too much battery when screen was off, so last week I installed BBS.
These wakeups aren't normal, right?
How can I disable Fast Dormancy in Z3C?

I have the same wakeups so i guess its normal.
Try using greeenify and use it to put all apps you dont need when the screen is off into dormancy.
You can also use tasker to switch to 2G mode when screen is off, since then you dont need a fast internet connection.
Still your drain does not look that bad, i get around 2-3% drainage per hour with occasional use of the phone. Of course this goes way up when I do something work intensive.
So you could be fine unless you have not been using the phone and still get 4% drainage per hour.

I already use Greenify.
I agree that it isn't a disaster, but I've never had that experience of "2 days battery".
Anyway... Tasker is a good idea!

I still would want to know how disable Fast Dormancy.
I've already tried this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382680
But I think it didn't work in z3c.

Jeah the 2 days is only possible if you only ocassionally use the phone for email, whats app , browsing. And then also only because of the outstanding standby mode during night times which is around 0.2%/ h. During the day if you check your phone regularly standby mode will not really kick in hence the higher battery consumption also when the screen is off.

Hmm, may be firmware related?here is my setup.
Im on .98 since .77 screws up my tap2wake.
greenified paid version with everything put to sleep including some system apps i dared to put to rest
Connected to Wifi , no mobile data enabled
stamina mode on, xposed module bootmanager with only the things i need to boot up
Sony enterprise service and my xperia disabled through adb.
Syncing only on for my email and some google functions. messaging apps i sync manually since i dont add contacts every day.
all xperia sharing things frozen, like twitter facebook life log etc. with titanium backup.
no facebook app (i think this one is a terrible battery drainer) and i dont need it.
This basically gives me a straight line in the night with almost no battery usage during standby.
Hope this helps

On .77 i have 0% drain overnight (around 8 hours). I keep wifi off and no stamina settings. I set network mode to GSM only

Yes, also they stopped. I was tracking com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup from Greenify. It was increasing every day. And I tried that method and wakelocks stopped. May be you are changed wrong code. Check your steps. It must work.

Yes, it must like that. If that method not working for you can try Amplify module for reducing wakelocks, or you can use MyAndroidTools for disabling service that causing wakelock.

What apps does she have installed which you don't?
For example, if she uses the Facebook/Twitter apps and they're updating themselves every 10 mins as opposed to every hour (or even manually) then her battery will get eaten alive!

how do i do that? in the task manager?
I also turned the sync to her facebook app to 'never' .
Turn GPS off when not needed and WiFi when not needed that usually helps. Also when wifi is on turn off notify me about new networks. Make sure screen brightness is set to automatic also.
if she has live wallpapers thats a bad ideea for a lasting battery, live wallpapers use cpu.. cpu user electricity, and the battery gets empty really fast. i`m runing ~ 40hours with nonstop wifi or data mode activated, depends on my locations, 1 push email runing 24/7 skype 24/7 and i talk for about 10-30 min per day... so... install cpu temp v2 and uncheck the screen timeout (set it to 10 minutes) and let the phone on the table and look at the cpu tempv2 if the cpu drops to 1-5 % @100mhz , if it doesn`t drop below 10 percent @100mhz then you have some nasty apps that are not idle.
if im in an area where i get 5 bars i can get more battery life while using my phone for a while, than I would if I am in an area where i get no connection or an area where my connection is constantly dropping. This is because the phone constantly tries to connect to the service provider and uses up tons of battery doing it.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Running Services and check what is shown.
(Switched my phone to English language to ensure the names above are correct). Do the same if your language is not English and you are still worried.

I have 2 days battery life with medium usage, download a stripped rom and keep it basic on the widget/wallpaper/amount of apps.
Download damiangto 1.2 gold underclock to 800 mhz (or keep it at 1000 mhz, but it doesnt change so much in speed for me)
undervolt by steps. as long as your phone doesnt die in sleepmode you can go lower. Im undervolting at -100 without any problems.
Download superpower or juicedefender. I have good experiences with both, using superpower at the moment and its free and good.
black backgrounds and themes are better for battery life because of the Super AMOLED screen.
You dont have to totally discharge your phone before charging it, charging whenever possible is actually better for long term battery life.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the replies everyone
I'l check all of the information out
I installed
Battery mix (has discharge graph)
Smart battery
Battery eta (has Discharge rate)
I swapped batteries with mine (hers still discharged too fast)
annoyingly it mucked up the battery discharge statistics because my battery was full when i put it in her phone.
She doesn't really muck about with her phone, very few apps or wallpaper etc.
I just go crazy with mine.
my battery discharge (with loads of use see CPU graph)

her battery use (phone was in her bag not used all day at work)
she was in a different location to me. see no CPU activity either
I looked in running services
mapslocationfriendservice (latitude) was 26% mine was about 9
and android system was higher on her phone
I mucked about unnistalled and installing maps using market and titanium backup
also I installed OCLF on her phone (one click lag fix) because it is on my phone. also the battery apps were slowing it down.
In short
her battery is plummeting about 3 hour if its in use and 11 in standby
its not the battery
i think is something to do with the android system.
probably latitude
but i could be wrong
I'll have another crack at it later.
Worst case i could master reset and restore titanium backups of her texts and contacts and stuff. but I like to sort it out
Cheers for the advice, I'll check it all out.
I'll post back if there any change in the situation
quick update
Her phone appears to be running better
I think it was google maps latitude update.
I cant 100% be sure.
but the result of the stuff i tried on the above post seemed to have changed her phone from the poor performance it suddenly started getting.
I am thinking of trying out 'superpower' and or 'juicedefender' on mine and her phones in the future.
Thanks for the tips everyone

I am not seeing exact issue how much android OS usng,
looking to your screenshot, display is just 6%, means hardly you have utilised your device. it was mostly in screenoff state. Ok when you dont use your device, but OS is running in background so just OS but nothing else have drain it.
Now another thing looking to image i can say in 9hr your battery dropped 50%
it means > 5% / hr, that actually i count the measure.
In idle state it shud be 2-3 % with 3G n Data sync On. So here it is more.
anyway once let it drain completely then recharge it fully n count drain %/hr.
I am using few stuff, e.g
Autostart - just kill the app you dont using
Phoneweaver - It autometically controls my data connection e.g. just after 15min to my sleeping time, it gets turnoff my data, n swithon b4 few min i wakeup.
SetCPU - I set profile to use CPU <500 in screenoff state.
My batt seems to last longer on kl7.
Your is idle. it seem 3%/hr even using screen quite good time.
My sisters Note had same crazy issue with Android OS eating battery. Tried many things to find the culprit but only thing that fixed it was full wipe and reinstall ROM. No issues now.

il calibrate battery and see hwz it working
I have a very long time use with this firmware and very happy with the update.
I just disabled all automatic synch and the samsung apps notification and things like this.
3g is always enabled and some hours a day wifi is also enabled
Don't know if it will work for you but I had the same problem. Believe it or not a simple hard reboot, solved the issue. Was identical to mine using Android OS over 70% while screen was at 15%. Programs added and deleted were still running around in the OS until that reboot(I'm guessing). Let me know if that works.
seems better. i did a complete battery drain and recharged from 0 battery. now after 5 hours after complete recharge, im at 84%. 2 push emails..full time wifi connectivity, facebook/twitter/socialhub sync always on. 5 min phone call. and thats it.i think its better.
For those who do not realize it yet, having Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc syncing every minute takes a lot of power. You cannot expect the phone to be doing this for 12 hours straight.
If you have a lot of battery ussage with screen off, try to disable account synchronization and see what happens then.
You need to evaluate if you need to see every social network update on the instant, or you carry extra batteries with you, or you are able to find a place to charge every few hours.
What you cannot expect are miracles.

Hmm, something has definitely changed for me.
Up until recently I was getting two days use out of a charge with wifi, gps & 3g enabled syncing 2 gmail, 1 yahoo account plus twitter and google reader stuff. Last couple of days Android OS has gone nuts and I'm getting similar readings in terms of usage to those quoted in this thread. This morning I've drained 20% in an hour with a bit of internet use.
Only thing I have changed is updating a few apps and I've put the thing in one of those silicon protection cases but that can't be the reason(can it??!!).

[Q] Battery Analysis

Hello, can someone give me a hand with the analysis of my battery consumption?
I used to get 3-4-5 hours of Sceen On time. Now I can barely get 2 hours!
The same images attached are now included directly into the post:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
With this last image I have no idea why it shows this. I've never been without internet, and I always have 3G coverage except in a few instances when I'm on the train going through a small tunnel or something (it drops to GPRS for about 30 or 40 seconds).
Thanks guys... I'm so confused...
cool picks, got cpuspy pics of same timeframe?
I like to cross reference and check if numbers add up.
Did you switch roms/ kernel lately, or update?
Battery getting full charge? mv?
Now the partial wakelocks are interesting. Try switching off fast dormancy by dialling *#9900# and selecting option that should/could take care of svnet.
Audioout probably by turning off options in settings then sound then all bottom choices.
the rest I am not sure, google partial wakelock and the service name.
Other then that, if nothing has changed except battery lifetime. Try safe kernel, then completely go to zero situation where you were getting the better battery life, then eliminate other apps perhaps.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm on full stock 2.3.6. I don't really like the ics builds. No other apps to measure.
The kernel is always the highest usage on my phone. What can cause that?
I'll still CPU spy and run it tomorrow and republish here. Thanks for your reply.

Hello zkyevolved, which version of BetterBatteryStats are you using?
I ask this because on my device, under Other and Since unplugged options, there is no Deep Sleep entry directly below Wifi Running. The entry shown directly below Wifi Running is Awake.

Hello! Thanks for the reply. I checked my version and it's 1.9.0.0. It was just updated the other day if I recall correctly.
I will update again today after a full days use in the battery. I'll post again with screenshots from both applications.
For the moment I've only disabled fast dormancy.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
awesome. You know analyzing is pretty difficult on android lol. sometimes I get frustrated and just reset to starting conditions and reinstall everything. Which is safe on gb, not ics due to superbrickbug triggers in ICS kernel.
Analyze first though Am interested in results.
If battery life is important and you dont mind warrantee, I can recommend the k2-11 or k2-12 speedmod kernel on gb roms. It was best batterylife for me 4-5 hours full screen on time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
a quick recheck, in current pictures you have 11 hours of measurement time with only 5 in deep sleep and 2 hours onscreen time?
That means 3 hours phone is awake. So it does seem classic deepsleep issue. I am no pro btw, but thats what I suggest monitoring for now.
When phone doesnt deepsleep cpu cycless on 200mhz doing nothing, that consumes energy, we are looking to minimize that.
Some of the stuff I mentioned earlier, partial wakelocks is whats actually keeping phone awake. I hope the fast dormancy off takes care of some keep awake time.
Now when measuring dont check phone every five, ten, twenty minutes, sometimes it takes about 15 min to go to deepsleep, thusvyour manually keeping it awake. Been there done that.

Hey everyone! Here are some updated screen shots:
This was my activity today: I did listen to some music, I mostly answered messages. Browsed very little. I skyped over HSPA for about 5 minutes. I went for a quick jog with endomondo using the GPS and music in the background via bluetooth for a total of 30 minutes. I used wifi for most of the day. As you can see, for a 2/3 of the day it was in deep sleep, while the rest was a mix of other speeds. I imagine 200-500 was the light usage (endomondo with screen off, bluetooth headphones, skyping OTA, etc.) and when the screen was mostly on and browsing, taking screen shots (I took a lot today, to annotate the screens I was looking at), etc.
Thanks everyone for your continued help.
Ohh, and the SVNET service is still there, I turned it off yesterday, and then today at around 5 o'clock I saw that I had about the same battery left as other days, so I turned it back on again.
ok then its something else keeping svnet up. Dunno about that.
For the rest its best for comparison of stats to measure same timespan, so reset stats when you unplug phone.
Anyway it is deepsleep issue, your phone is not appearing to go to deepsleep ideally.
Cause I cant make out the numbers from what I see, and what it is keeping awake, I recommend starting new. So save messages with an app from play, apps with titanium backup, and efs folder if you never saved, check my thread on that. Contacts and calander in gmail. Photos manually Backup on external sd card and remove after.
On GB do a factory reset with code in dialer ending in 3855, that completely resets device. That should do the trick. I think from settings storage format sd card, not sure if factory reset does that.
If you dont care for warrantee then perhaps speedmod k2-12 kernel is a good alternative to stock gb kernel in terms of battery life
That should fix it. Just dont restore apps with data, let it repopulate itself, that way if something is messed up there you can catch it.
If I am missing something, and anyone reads this, I am keen to learn

[Q] Weird "battery drain" when lightly using the phone

Hello !
I just bought my P880 two days ago and everything is great except one thing: battery drain. It is not occouring in background when phone is in Deep sleep, it doesn't lose charge while it's sleeping, but when I just unlock it/start using it, it just starts draining.
I have rooted it, and unrooted using SuperSU. The thing is I haven't experienced that kind of drain yesterday, it was working fine except drain caused by bad signal (badly inserted SIM).
Usage by Android System is at 50% over 5 hours, Screen is at 9%. Awake graphs are the same as Screen on graphs- no wakelocks.
I have these apps installed:
Prey Anti Theft
Skype (not running)
Adobe Reader
SoundHound
Disco Light
QR Droid
Sygic (not running)
X-plore
SwiftKey 3 keyboard
WiFi, GPS, Data, everything turned off except mobile signal
Running Internation version with Android 4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4-00001-g0f9182c
Mobile network type is EDGE:2 with mobile signal -70dBm
I'm first time android user and this is my first problem so I tried to include as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance
I see 2 mayor issues, first is the android deft app, it may be running and trying to sync but bcz the data is off it will try to connect foreva.
Also, edge is (in other words) ROAMING and this forces the antenna to use more power to get signal from another provider, it get worst if you have a phone with sim card.

Thanks for pointing that out, but I have disabled every sync and I have set phone to 2G mode only, the reason is that UMTS signal was low and was draining battery even more.
I am only losing sharge when just doing random things on phone, even if that means only adding/removing widgets/apps on main screen with WiFi off.
Then you must try the Deodexed version of v10f, removing the bloatware with the script in the same thread.
The issue may be some lg apps that are running in the background so doing this will have 6 hours in standby time with 100% still, like me (if I turn all radios off ).
I have just woken up, while sleeping (9h) phone was awake for about 50%, no wakelocks but there were 30 alarms from Android/Google maps ans 29 alarms from com.google.android.gsf
Hope this helps.
I may try custom ROMs if nothing else works.
While typing this message I have lost 7%.
Similar state here as the OP. Got the phone two days ago.
All is good, it rooted OK, Directory Bind works fine, phone runs like hell (about 10 times faster than my old Galaxy S) BUT it drains battery like a genuine power guzzler.
Ok I get that according to the performance you get, it comes with an accordingly high power draw, so I don't ***** about it, I just want to know if this is normal. I mean I played 2 hours and 15 minutes of Sprinkle and the battery died, starting from a full charge. Screen was set at 50%.
GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, no 3G mobile network and screen is at 50% brightness as I said. There's an NFC icon on the notification bar next to the battery icon, which I am not sure if it should be there.
Here are a couple of shots from the battery section of the phone and from Battery monitor widget if these help.

Please note that as the OP said, the phone consumes nearly nothing when idling. Firmware is 10f.
PS I am not trying to hijack the OP's thread. I just noticed the same behavior and I'd like some help on the same matter, as well as to contribute in whatever way I can. If the OP is offended somehow, I will gladly start a new thread.
@psolord No, not offended at all. I'm glad you posted actually.
My phone has encountered 20 more Alarms, wake ups since I left it standing:
com.google.android.apps.maps Wakeups: 50
com.google.android.gsf Wakeups: 45
You can see pictures below, the drop on the second picture happened when I was writing me previous post from P880.
- I am also rooted again (after factory restore)
- I have reenabled 3G networks but the signal is only at about 50%.
Any additional info please ?
Ok buddy, so we can keep discussing it here together.
For the matter at hand, I see the same behavior, when I unlock the screen, it's like I have opened a whole in the battery.
It dropped from 85% to 65% just from downloading a new map (500MB, 20min download on a slow wifi) from Sygic downloader. I mean this can't be right, right?
I also checked cpu spy and it reports the system 75% at deep idle, 15% at 51Mhz and the rest are 0% to 1% up to 1500Mhz. So if the cpu has so little operation, what on earth is draining the battery?
I wonder if we could be looking at a bad battery batch.
Is there an app that reports exactly what activity consumes power and how much?
Indeed, the hole in the battery.
I even restored to factory from recovery mode since I screwed up the root, so it was just stock, but guess what, nothing has changed :crying:
I really hope this can get fixed, else I'll get a replacement.
I hope someone from this forum with more experience can help :/
I think I am onto something.
Can you please check how is the phone doing if you disable everything under location and services?

Can you please check how is the phone doing if you disable everything under location and services?

I am going to try this, I am also talking to LG Support right now. WIll let you know when I get more information.
I disabled everything, and I didn't see pretty much any improvement. LG Support suggested me to return the phone.
Pretty much draining the battery atm so I can charge it back to 100% and use something like Battery Calibration. Maybe it can change something.
Yeah indeed I was onto nothing. Nothing changed for me either.
Playing 30mins of a 720P resulted my battery dropping from 62% to 50%. I also used the gps for the first time with Sygic (Jesus even the GPS is lightning fast) and the battery went from 50% to 30% for a 20 minute ride. It seems that my phone cannot give me more than 2 hours of use. That's just silly.
BTW do you or anybody, know of an app that can show battery usage per app?

Stock application ?
Also you can use Better Battery Stats to see if there are any wakelocks or anything is waking up the phone etc.
What is happening right now is rather strange, I disabled screen turning off (trying to drain battery to 1%/2%) looking at stock battery app, it seems to be stuck at 21% and it's not changing.
The stock application does not do so much analysis, but the batterystats you used above seems more like it.
I am getting panicked and I miss some stuff haha. Ok lets cool.
It makes me sad that we don't get any input from the community. Something like "yeah this is normal, live with it" or "your phone is faulty, take it back to the shop for a replacement" or something.
Agreed, ANY, ANY kind of input would be appreciated, but I guess we are getting none.
I am going to fully charge it today, do some stuff and report back tommorow. Also anyone, please do post any suggestion you may have.

Maybe this has to do something with the built in power saver. Maybe it kicks in when the battery drops to the 20s and stops whatever is draining it.
I am thinking trying some battery saver to see if it does the same thing but from the beginning of the full charge.

Actually I have disabled it when it asked me if it should turn on. So I guess nothing to do with that.
I am going to backup now, fully unroot and somehow get it to pure stock. Than I'm probably going to exchange the phone in case battery life doesn't change.

Android OS consuming too nuch battery ?

There is a lot of battery drain due to android os in my battery stats. Os it normal or I can control it?

First of all, Have you tried using a wake lock detector to find the issue? What ROM are you using including the kernel? Give the full list of all apps installed by you. Are you using root? SuperSu or Magisk? Did you flash a stable version on top of a beta version or vice versa? All i can tell you from the screenshot is that facebook needs to be deleted. No matter how much you enjoy that app, Just login via Chrome and save almost all your 4% you spent on facebook.
What's your idle drain?

I am using BBS after charging my phone to the fullest, I put it in Airplane mode for 6 hours and checked, it drained 2%.
I am using OOS 3.5.4, Kernel is dorimanx. I am attaching the list of apps I use from battery stats.
Yes I am rooted with super su systemless. Yes I have flashed the 2.82 verson. Previously was using magisk but have removed it. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/59390d762679b/Screenshot_20170608-140942.png?

Anyone with some input ?
Sorry I literally forgot to press send, I'd recommend for you make a back up of everything from within TWRP and copy it on to a computer. I had a lot of issues with older oxygen os but after 4.1.3, I haven't had a issue for a random drain. Do a clean flash and install your apps one by one or use wake lock detector and see which app is misbehaving.
I am having the same kind of issue. I did a super-clean install of stable 4.1.5. This happens in all ROMs for me :-?
This happened on my Nexus 6P also. I think it's a Nougat problem or just the way Nougat calculates drain.
I am having the same issue here. This is on stable 4.1.5. Any ideas?
Same here unfortunately.
Maybe it's just time to perform a factory reset
Just started for me as well. Something also seems to be causing the cores to get stuck on Max frequency as well. This never happened on 4.1.3
i've been having the same issue for a couple weeks. I had re-enabled google now and noticed my battery dropped more than i would expect so I've had it disabled for some time now but even with that (which worked before), i've had a lot of consistent drain throughout the day. Battery should last 25-30 hours but it's only lasting me 20-24 due to this consistent drain. I'm thinking I may need a factory reset too, and if that doesn't work, next step is to root and disable "wake up" permissions for all these apps.

which font BTW ? :silly::silly:
Well.... People think their phone runs on its own and no it doesn't. Android system is the android environment that manages thinks like drivers internet connectivity logging ram management and basically anything that isn't third party. Your phone's OS cant run without taking power. All your hardware power drain is placed into android system category. There are ways to decrease the consumption but its not very noticeable without xposed and turning some hardware off.

It should never top your SOT though. Now what is causing it, idk. I had this drain with 4.1.5, but not with any other builds. And I clean flashed twice. And the same set up. That's why I'm on OB8.
I have noticed this happens a lot while on mobile data. This doesn't happen on WiFi. There's something causing more wake locks when the device is on mobile data! I've tried everything then turning off location history but it doesn't seem to work
It can though easily. Especially if you use your device on and off. It doesn't always top my sot but when it does i have less than 3 hours. But then again i never let my battery drain to less than 10%before charging. Just turn things off as you dont use them. Or use IFTTT for that. Try using Better Battery Stats for a few days then check the "ALARMS" section.
Try fixing the adblocker. With the new set of hosts enabled, full blocking of ads, I am getting good SOT than before.

Fix it how? Was that posted in here?
I guarantee it has nothing to do with adblocker. I am on stock 4.1.5, no custom kernel or anything, and the android OS is eating my battery like hell. It's just stupid.
