Juice Defender

can anyone confirm that this does or does not work on our phone? I heard it doesn't work for CDMA

Works fine on CDMA however I can't get it to work on this phone. It starts fine and set up goes fine but then it will randomly turn itself off. May be a memory issue I'm not sure.

I've been running the beta, and have had no issues.

Why not download it and find out?

ive been running the thing for weeks but i dont necessarily see any difference in batter life so i was doing some web research on what the best settings are and i noticed some ppl saying it doesn't work on cdma so i figured id ask the great minds of xda...
any suggestions on settings?

I just turn it on. Last night my phone was idle for 9 hours, and only lost 1% battery.

It is, doesn't affect it.

So I had to remove the app this morning. Not sure if it actually did anything, I used the plotter, and it kept it fairly level for a few hours early in the morning (3-4am) but I think whatever processes it runs to save battery also prevented my alarm from going off as well.
Two issues I ran into were my alarm not going off (even though it was set, i double checked it last night and this morning) and my screen refusing to turn off. Ended up rebooting the phone and removing the app and haven't had those issues again.

The app won't affect your alarm, might want to check task killers or memory managers. Not sure about the screen turning off, but it would be helpful to check your logs to find the problem. Sounds like you have something screwy going on.

Could be true, could be false, that's sorta the problem.
Either way, I'll look into it.

I also have a problem with juice defender. I don't know if it is already a setting or not, but when using any program that utilizes 3g when the screen blanks out (screen mute) you loose connectivity even on programs that are running. I know that you can simply go in and disable juice defender, but it seems like the program could be written to allow programs you select to keep the 3g signal open even during screen mute as long as they are running. So in other words allow for another check list to allow only selected programs to use 3g no matter what. Please if this exists already let me know where the setting is cause I want it.

Please check settings before posting. In the paid version you can set specific programs to always have access when running. I believe it is also in the beta for free.

Been running Juice Defender v1.8.8. for 2 days. Before that, I was running the BETA version. It's running on auto config as I wanted to see how it would manage on its own. Neither one seems to make a difference in battery consumption. It eventually stops running for some unknown reason. When running, the JD icon doesn't appear in the status bar but appears in the task manager. After a few hours, it disappears from task manager so I assume it stopped running. A friend of mine turned me onto this and swore that he got 16 hrs on a single charge on his rooted HTC Evo running Froyo (custom ROM), semi-heavy usage. He showed me at work, didn't charge his phone all day and by the time we were going home, he's still at 50% battery life. I'm running stock ROM (rooted - bloatware removed). I don't mind getting a paid version but if the free version is not working for me, I wouldn't even think of buying it.
Uninstalling JD as I type this.

Is the version you stated the beta?
Disregard the question, lol, re-read your post.

I have the paid version and I swear by it. I can go two days with moderate use. The only thing it does is great extends stand by time. You go hours without your battery moving a percentage point. I have the paid version and it is set by default, and you can set it yourself, to not turn off data if it is using the data. I don't know what the settings of the free version are, but when I'm using the data it never shuts it off. The only way it closes itself is when I charge it overnight. No big deal for all it does. Truly an essential, powerful app. I suggest people take a look at the settings and see how it is set up before dismissing it. Also get juice plotter to see what it's doing

As with any app, different phones play differently with them. I hear from some that things don't work, when they run as intended on my phone. This will always be the case.
I can say absolutely that Juice Defender Beta works without a problem on my device, and I have tested it extensively. It does what it should without issues or problems.
That obviously isn't the case for everyone. I will suggest that before someone blast a well written app publicly and possibly discourage someone who might benefit from it from trying it out, that they contact the developer with their issues and see if there is a known conflict or bug. I have resolved issues with apps like this many times, and almost always it was something on my end that fixed it, not the app itself.

Daswolven, I agree with you completely. Learned that with my Droid1 with the overclock speeds and voodoo with this phone, some things just don't work properly on your particular handset. I took the time to understand what this app does and it is extremely powerful. The best way to find out what's good for you is to try it. On a side note, I have been harassing the makers of Beautiful Widgets about the fc issue with our phones. I think they actually took care of it with the last update because I haven't had one in a while haha.

I've also done research on another app called BatteryFu which is suppose to be a "lean and mean" battery saver, compared to JD. Toby Kurien, the author of BatteryFu, claims that JD is bloated and ended up using memory and battery - against what it's suppose to accomplish. One of the biggest battery drain is mobile connectivity. JD and BatteryFu intelligently and transparently manages this essentially enabling it when you need it and disabling it when you don't. On the Fascinate, other than switching to airplane mode, mobile data connection cannot be disabled according to Toby. So this renders those battery saver apps useless. Perhaps turning off the Background Data would slightly help but it is needed by the Android Market so you'll have to turn it on when you need to access the market. You can also try setting up multiple APN's. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this on the Fascinate. My friend has a Vibrant and you can go to SETTINGS -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> APN. The Fascinate doesn't have APN under MOBILE NETWORKS. Maybe someone here has a workaround.

[Q] Has anyone figured out the "mobile radio active" bug?

I know we've had some discussions on the "mobile radio active" found on some apps causing battery drain. Has anyone seen a fix for this yet? It is still driving me crazy.

huh? mobile radio active? whats that, a wakelock?

I was wondering why my battery life was horrible since updating.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Premium HD app

I had this issue on 5.0, 5.01, and now 5.1. Been with it the whole time. I've tried different radios and clean flashes and wipes. Nothing is getting rid of it. When you search google there are some people with the same issue but nothing major which leads me to believe some things wrong with my phone and/or there's something causing this and it isn't normal.

I've never seen this

That was mine too and what I did when I flashed 5.1

One issue I have is with the Facebook app and I believe that is causing a lot of my battery drain when not on WiFi. In a recent update Facebook removed the option to not automatically update news feed. Now I believe it refreshes very often causing massive drain.

This is NOT an Android bug. This is *possibly* a BAD SOFTWARE issue, or PERFECTLY NORMAL.
Every application that transfers ANYTHING over the network, will cause mobile data activity, which REQUIRES activity on the radio, and DOES draw battery power.
If an application transfers too much, or too often, or too slow, or anything else that will cause the radio to activate frequently or for longer periods of time, then you will see this mobile radio active timer increase.
And the MORE applications you have doing this, again, the more battery it will suck down.
Edit: Your example of pushbullet.... in order for that program to work, it needs to maintain persistent connections between each device you are using that program on, and the vendor's server. In order to maintain a persistent connection, packets have to be transferred across the route on a timed basis, where the time is less than the timeout on all of the routers along the route.
Conclusion: everything is working correctly as intended.

really? thats normal? then how come noone else is really seeing this "issue" other people say they dont have this so how would it be "normal" ? not saying it isnt because I dont know enough to know, but i would imagine if it was normal behavior then it would be on everyone's phone.

No way it's normal. I use chrome beta and it clocked over 3 hours of Mobile Radio Active today. I still got great battery life, but when Chrome Beta takes 20% and your screen takes 10%, something is wrong. It's not continuously updating as someone above suggested. It's a bug. The mobile radio is being kept active for no reason by seemingly random apps. I really hope someone figures out how to fix this.

Any update on this?
I've tried 5.1 e, l and now I builds and they're all doing the same thing.
I've tried chroma ROM as well, along with stock, lean, Franco and code blue kernels.
I've never been able to shake this problem.
Anyone know what its about?

No one has even confirmed it is a problem yet. Unlikely anyone is working on it.

At first, I was thinking this was app related, but after looking at all my background and running apps, it seems they all have this "bug". However, mine don't seem to be running that as long, which in turn isn't showing a big battery drain. Hence the fact that I never noticed it.
I am guessing that it is some wakelock that is set by the app, but all apps that connect to the internet are using it. However, I looked on my flo which is running BrokenOs 5.0.1 and it doesn't have this mobile radio active process. I will be updating it to BrokenOs 5.1.0 here in a bit to see if it appears. If not, then we can limit it to just the shamu. If that is the case, then we just need to locate it, probably in the kernel, and decide what to do with it...
I'll follow up with my findings later...

I hope there is a solution!
For me it is the problem with Android 5 or the nexus 6. although i dont think it is a problem with the nexus 6. After my recognition are different models (nexus 4, 5, some Samsung devices, moto x...) affected after updating to lollipop.
I have also test different (stock-)roms/ different kernels/ disabled some services/ tested different radios/ factory resets and freezed some system- or deinstalled all 3rd Party apps/ changed the messenger...
No problem in wlan but with 4g/3g is the value of mobile radio active to high that some "apps" (gpservices, android os, hangouts, telegram, sometimes chrome) now are on top of the battery stats. With bbs or wld i cant find the reason.

It *IS* on everyones phone.
Nobody is 'seeing' this, because there is nothing *TO* see. There is nothing *TO* see, because it is PERFECTLY NORMAL.
You can't seriously expect mobile data transfer to be done free of battery consumption, can you? It takes electricity to produce the electrical impulses that generate the radio waves that carry data to the remote cell tower. It takes electricity to run the radio processor cpu to receive and interpret the electrical impulses in the receiving antenna that are generated by the radio waves sent by the remote cell tower.

There is nothing to see when some apps on top of the battery stats (with 3g/4g) because of the high mobile radio active? Why are this value not so high on other devices with KitKat and then higher with lollipop?

Being connected to wifi for a period of time may help reveal more info.
Also, try using a whitelist firewall to only allow apps that you need to allow data. Or even block all traffic for a while and see what happens.
You could even block traffic on only cellular, and let only wifi pass traffic.
Another thing to verify would be whether airplane mode (wifi could be on) indeed causes the issue to completely go away as one would expect.

[Bug?] WiFi battery drain on 6.0 & 6.0.1 and workaround (Fixed since April MOB30D)

[Bug?] WiFi battery drain on 6.0 & 6.0.1 and workaround (Fixed since April MOB30D)
Google fixed this in 6.0.1 (edit : you still need to disable wifi scan in location setting edit2: Google fixed this in April MOB30D so update to any release after April'16 to get rid of this bug from source :good: )along with instant quick setting wifi connect & many more ! So update to 6.0.1 asap. (System less root 2.61+ & Xposed v78+ is working on 6.0.1 so don't worry about it )
Edit 2: Some people are facing battery drain due Google play services (9.x.xxx) which is not anyway related to this bug present in rom. Still here is work around for you
springy said:
Unfortunately I still get the Wifi bug and I am on the July patch. I remember it disappeared in the May patch but reappeared in the June patch. The way I solve it is just to restart the device every day.
But I do think it may have something to do with Play Services as I do see that often as the app consuming a lot of battery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then it's Not wifi bug due to ROM..it's entirely related to Play Service.
Work around for it is to disable 4 receivors indicated in below post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67254249&postcount=922
PS: u can use free tool, "My android tools" from playstore.
& disable these 4 things under "RECIEVER" tab from play services
PS: some people claims that it was related to Google Connectivity Service ,but i had it disabled all the time in 6.0 & still drain was gone for me. So i believe it's not actually related to it, after all Google connectivity services is only needed for "Project Fi" (available only in USA) other ppl can simply disable it
Edit: reported to Google (with new screen shots )...here->
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189018
If you are also seeing this bug kindly report it in about link and star that issue as well
Workaround :
Well after using phone for entire 3 charging cycles with different settings I think main problem for this is "WiFi always scan" in location setting..many users reported how to turn it off in comments (thanks )
If you still facing this problem...
Go to Settings>Location>Scanning(top right)>Wifi Scanning ( disable it ) & Bluetooth Scanning (disable it as well)
if bug appers after few days, 1st check your "WiFi scanning" in Location again (turn it off if it's on ) it starts automatically after using navigation (randomly) !

In most cases this will solve the problem..but if you are still seeing much battery drain
Then change your Location Setting to Device only ( or you can entirely disable it if you don't relay on Location base Google Now cards )
If all of above fails Wiping Cache In Stock Recovery or Changing WiFi band in WiFi advance setting, also helps in some extreme cases ( as reported by some users )
here is video by @isrmicha for the same steps if you can't figure-out from pics,
One more thing I have noticed is Quick setting tile takes much time (15-20seconds) to connected WiFi unless we open "more settings " by clicking on down Aero on tile...in this case it will connect instantly....if you are facing this as well then do above to connect instantly
(I think Google disabled instant scanning for wifi on QS toggle..so it takes some time for scanning available networks after Turing on wifi) (Fixed in 6.0.1)
Click below to see what's the problem with scanning ON, if you are still not aware of it
1st of all i'm fully stock...and i'm very impressed with battery life on 6.0...personally I never got SOT for than 4 hrs on Lollipop but on M it's been almost 4 and half hr and still 23% remaining so overall battery life is much improved for me and DOZE is doing it's work excellently (without any interference )
But the problem is as per stats WiFi is biggest battery drainer for me it shows about 53% use and Power used by it is also too much...i have never seen this much uses of WiFi ! It's more than Drain by Screen On
So is this some kind of bug or just different calculation method ? Seeing overall improved battery life I'm confused to call it bug :silly:

Does seem quite high, even though you're getting better battery than previously. During 'normal usage' of the device, Screen ON should always be the biggest consumer.
A few things you could check / confirm and be more thorough / logical:
- Your WiFi appears always on. During this time, is it actually connected to a network, or do you always leave it on regardless? If it's actually connected to WiFi, does this usage occur on a single network, or multiple different networks?
- Do you also have "Scanning always available" enabled (In WiFi screen, Menu-> Advanced). If so, try turning it off and changing nothing else, does it make a difference?

1. That's what I was thinking..screen % should always more than anything else ( atleast when we are "actually" using phone)
2. No my WiFi wasn't always on I turned it off/on many times but it's not present in SS..that's weird ( set I forgot to Mentioned it in OP)
And I was connected to 2 different wifi networks only (1st 2-3 hrs after charging I was connected to hotspot..then for 7-8 hrs I turned off WiFi toggle before going to bed (but SS shows WiFi on in this time also !!! So it's definitely a bug)
3. There is no option to advance wifi setting to turn always scan off ( I know it was in lollipop but it's not present in M..I checked it twice )
Btw how to take a bug report ? "Take a bug report" is disabled in developer option & there is no way to turn it on (atleast I can't find it)
My battery it <5% now and I want to take bug report before putting it in charging so if someone know how to turn on bug report option plz reply fast
Edit: okay just took bug report ( I didn't enable usb debugging before ) ...now tell me how to report this bug to Google

No idea then. I've never used M, just expected that same setting to still be there. Maybe it's buried / hidden somewhere else?
The other possibility, in the initial setup screens when you first set up the phone, did you enable the equivalent feature? Normally a check box saying that Google will scan even when WiFi is off. This is the only other thing I can think of which shows WiFi on even though you physically turned it off.

No idea either, Google it . If you're fully stock with zero mods (or even other apps to be sure), it does seem like a strange bug.

My Wifi is one of the lowest, 1%, 17 mah and almost 8 hours of use

I do not have this issue, WiFi is currently 6th on my list in battery. Now, having said that, I have WiFi on all the time as signal is bad at work and I don't use my phone a lot so I've currently got 1 day 20hrs life remaining...I don't believe it's an issue but this is only my first full day with 6.0

what's your "location settings" ( i put it on high accuracy but i don't think it affect wifi drain :silly: )
and just to conform you are on official Marshmallow right ?

Always scan settings are located in the location menu.

Well, its known that if you leave wifi range and then turn off wifi it will still count as on in the battery stats. Since lollipop. Maybe it is being counted differentely(this word exist ? ) now
I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive

To repeat and clarify what others have said above, it looks like the "always scan" setting has been moved from Settings/Wi-Fi/(overflow)/Advanced to Settings/Location/(overflow)/Scanning.

but i didn't leave wifi range at all ! plus i turn off wifi for 8-9 hrs & this lap is also not present in battery statistic
and Sorry for *differentely it's differently

Were you tethering at all? My Wifi is second on my list and the only thing I have done is test some wifi tethering about a half hour ago. I haven't even used WiFi at all today. I don't use it at work. I have not disabled the scanning option either.

okay..and what about WiFi always scan in location setting (advance) ? i turned it off on 1st boot...if you have it turned on i'll change it & check if that's the cause or not

Did the same, turned off first boot. Did you factory reset before flashing Marshmallow?

no wan't tethering.
i just changed my location setting to device only and turned of both Bluetooth & wifi scan in Location>advance setting ( you can also try this if your settings are different )
let's see how it turns out

Extreme battery drain?? 6.0.1

Has anyone else run into this after 6.0.1 update. It really didn't hit me until last night when I decided to test it. Unplugged my phone at 80% and went to sleep only to wake up to it dropping almost 50%!!!!!....not normal. It looks like something is just not right with everything after the update because after checking everything, nothing seems to fit. And before you say it was my wifi, I just changed that, this happened even if wifi was off. But I can say doze is definitely not working and no app seemed to go "rouge" with wakelocks when trying to check. Going to downgrade back to a previous build of 6.0, but hopefully someone else can chime in. Only found a few articles of people reporting the same thing but no one is actually posting possible solutions, just bashing a legitimate concern. Hopefully I don't run into that here.....

Try a factory rest, fixes 99% of issues.

Only out of place thing I see is that your screen was on at some points but the phone wasn't saying it was awake. That leads me to believe there's a kernel wakelock issue because I had the same thing but on 5.1. The issue turned out for me to be a wakelock called bluesleep which is related to bluetooth and it came about from an app called gasbuddy which silently updated to provide support for bluetooth "beacons" at gas stations to give you deals or some crap like that. If you're rooted you can install BetterBatteryStats to test for kernel wakelocks, you can test for bluesleep wakelock by just turning off bluetooth and seeing if the drain/weird screen-on not awake thing happens, and long press power off to start the phone in safe mode to narrow down whether its a system issue or installed app issue and if rooted use an app freezer like Titanium Backup to freeze your installed apps a few at a time to narrow down what app(s) are causing it(so you don't have to uninstall/reinstall trial and error).

Wow thanks for that, I actually use GasBuddy, wish you were here before the factory reset I did, but everything seemed to go back to normal after I did the reset but I wanted to actually try to find out specifics. I haven't rooted just because I use Android pay (I know system less root us out there) but I'll try to keep an eye out for that stuff if it happens again.

Lol, it's all good, but yea, that wasn't the issue, doing now with wifi always on and battery drain is normal and doze is working properly, so probably a bad flash and factory reset fixed it, although I really wish there are ways around that

Unstopabble Battery drain when wifi on. Will Paypal $20 for solution.

I have a S5 plus G901f. I have had the phone for 5 months now, and to cut a lot story short, since it was out of the box brand new on stock everything, going through kitkat, lollipop, marshmellow, all stock updates, and now bunch of custom roms and custom kernels, ALL to try stop this wifi battery drain, NOTHING has made a difference. Nothing has worked.
Whenever WIfi is on, the battery will drain about 1% every few minutes, no matter what. With the Wifi OFF, the battery graph will be a horizontal line and the phone will last over a week.
Does anyone have Any idea how to fix this issue. My S6 S3, etc do not do this. They have perfect standby with wifi on.
If anyone offers a solution that works, I give you my word I will paypal $20 to you. Its easily worth that.
It looks a little something like this. The flat parts are with Wifi OFF.
GSAM battery stats just reports it as Android Kernel, Android reports it at Android OS.

Maybe try checking with wakelock detector free in my case it's better than gsam

Is that a custom rom or stock?
If custom the android system will drain less after a week.
You might try to boot up in safemode and see if the system ui drains battery.
If not you can do a Factory Reset and see if it worked.

Download network connections app and sd maid app from playstore.
Run first network connections, see if you find a app that still there and has network traffic. Unatural if you find an app that sucks much traffic.
Use sd maid and go to app control. There you can see which app is active and turn all third party apps off, also the autostart of the receiver.
After that is it always draining?
Of course you can use the system and app cleaner of sd maid if you like.

Read first post. Have done more than factory reset. Both on Custom and stock roms. It doesnt matter what rom.

Will try all those things, but have gone through with titanium and blasted everything in the past with no change to the problem. As I said it only happens when WIFI is on, if mobile data is on but wifi is off, there is no problem. It sucks but I think its a hardware issue...
Will try all the suggestions.

Just for information, OP. Thanks for offering 20$, but you could try and resolve the issue yourself by installing BetterBatteryStats, and checking out what' exactly in the "android os" is causing the wakelock
Also I'd recommend flashing a completly new system with Odin, in case it's a virus - one of the guys on my job had one (probably still has )

I don't want the money but if you are on marshmallow turn off bluetooth and wifi scanning it should help.

It's not impossible that you could have a hardware defect . I'd try contacting a Samsung service center but it looks like you won't be covered by the warranty since you probably tripped Knox when you installed a custom rom.

If you have flashed 100% stock, and factory reset, flashed custom and factory reset, and back to stock and factory reset, and it is still doing it, it sounds fairly likely it is not a software/firmware issue, but hardware
RMA

If you have the HuffPost app, uninstall it for some time, it is my only news app installing itself in autostart/as background service, despite the all offering push notifications, which i have disabled for all these apps. Huffpost can go amok, causing much drain. But with root and Wakelock Detector you may spot your culprit.

I would hope OP has flashed stock and factory reset, and tested the problem is still there 'before' installing any other apps

You should try this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ebf-tweaking-battery-saver-optimizer-t3401341

Could be a faulty battery,did you try using a different one?

It's very unlikely that a "faulty" battery would die with the small drain of WiFi and not turn off immediately when the screen turns on.

I regularly go to a place where the wifi signal strength is weak. My battery drains faster, even during the standby, while being there.

Wifi power save mode
1. Go to your phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011#
3. When you see the "ServiceMode" screen, press the left menu button
4. Select "WiFi"
5. See that "Wifi Power Save Mode" - well turn it "on"
6. Exit this menu
Hope it works......if its a harware problem it should work but put down yours wifi performance.
From Ajay have a great day....

Boot your phone into safe mode and see if the problem keeps happening and if not get a zero lemon battery case

The $20 dollars is there because it is such a persistent problem it seems like a miracle if it were to be fixed. Its a problem that I do not know the cause of so Id be laughing if it was fixed for $20.
Ive tried most of the suggestions. The culprit seems to be wlan_wow_wakelock. Have no idea how that helps?

Tried close range, different wifi. Different wifi routers does tend to make a difference to how fast it drains but always a strong trend down. In my home the phone is only metres away from the router, full signal.

The only option I see in there is Ping test. No wifi power save mode.

This is not a common bug, at least not with the common G900F. What does the "1" stand for?
It could be a mismatch between rom and baseband/modem. This shouldn't happen on unrooted phones during updates(OTA or Kies).
With TWRP, you should be able to flash the correct modem firmware, if there is said mismatch, otherwise the unbricking procedure with Kies or Odin should help. A total factory reset/unbricking is the ultimate solution anyway. A certain app may also be the culprit, so uninstalling these one by one may provide a solution within a certain time, starting with battery saving apps and the like.
Hardware damage just preventing power save seems unlikely.

Read the thread please. No a total factory reset is not the ultimate solution, its not any kind of solution because the reason I started using custom roms is to try fix the problem with the phone when it was 100% stock. The correct firmware was on the phone when new, and it still did it, and it still has the right sofware now afaik as I'm only installing g901f roms.
G901f is the Galaxy S5 Plus. Its basically like a note 4 inside fitted into the body of an S5
Just so you guys know the above pics of the battery graph show with wifi on, the battery drain, and with wifi off, almost no battery drain and on again.

Funnily enough if I leave the screen on the wifi almost drains no power, and its the drain same as leaving screen off lol.
This is with over 1h of on screen time with wifi on.
Its the same as leaving the phone on standby with wifi on lol. Wifi stops being crazy and normal drain occurs.
Thats why Im saying its worth $20 for a fix. Because its BS. I think the only fix is in the form on a kernel where someone understands what the problem is.
