[Q] Are you affected by the gingerbread android os battery drain bug??

As far as I know, this bug is related to gingerbread and not by samsung, somehow it is triggered randomly (some say google maps, others say wifi or games) and the root cause is unknown, that's why some people haven't experience it, a quick temp solution is to restart the device but this is just terrible solution..if you are affected pls help spread the word so the issue becomes a high priority in google, the issue is already raised here since Feb 2011 and a lot of people have already experienced it (I myself experienced it although im using SGS1):
http: / / code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15057
but it is still under medium priority, unbelievable! do you remember the SMS bug? google got pressured when it was spread in forums and news site..I think we can do the same here..let's raid android forums and android news site
here's the thread detailing the bug:

sorry please remove the spaces in the link..im not yet allowed to post external links since i have below 8 posts

I'am affected. Currently running Darky 10.1.
I'm still not sure how much google can do about it. Some google eployee stated that faulty drivers are responsible.
Two apps have already been identified to be responsible (Samsung Account and Samsung Update).
I installed Android Booster to identify the actual drain.
I recently had a drain and Android Booster identified "BluetoothTest" as the cause (I now freezed it).

[Q] PA crashes into Safe Mode

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum but I have read all rules before posting. I hope I got everything right. If not, please let me know and I'll make changes ASAP.
I have installed Paranoid Android 3.68 last week and have been experiencing this problem (couldn't post it in that thread because I am still a newbie).
My phone crashes into Safe Mode at least once daily without me doing anything. Every time I reboot to normal mode, I would have to restore my 3D Background, Swiftkey, and NiLS apps. So I'm guessing that the crash happened due to (one of) these apps. Could this be an incompatibility issue? Is there any way I can prevent this from happening because it gets quite troublesome to restore these apps so often...​
Thanks a lot!

Random reboots. Software or hardware issue?

Hi guys
I got an x1 few days ago. I'm very happy with the phone and I updated it to the new firmware 14.1.G.2.257.
In the last 3 days, after the update, I got 3 random reboots. I don't know if it was happening also with the old firmware cause I used it just for few hours.
Now I'd like to understand if it is a software problem so I need just to wait for a new firmware or it is an hardware issue so I need to return the phone.
Thanks to anyone would help me.

in all honesty since having this phone i have not had one random reboot. When ever i upgrade firmware i always do a fullwipe to rule any issues out. But one thing i have seen happen is some apps can cause reboots, some apps cause wakelocks and some apps can cause battery drain. What i would do as a test is reflash firmware and dont install any other apps other than your standard google apps, see how that goes

thanks my only concern is about hardware but I don't think this is the case... maybe there is a bad memory management in this firmware? I read about other people having issues like this.

I really dont know, i keep hearing so may contrasting issues with this phone. I have not had 1 issue with the phone, but everywhere i see soo many issues, im certain theres a bad batch of z1's out there. I don't think its a hardware issue in your case, i cant really be sure about the memory management becuase this newer firmwares changelog included better memory management. i really think you should start from scratch as a test, and slowly add other apps, this way you can slowly eliminate whats causing this issue.

How To Fix Android 6.0 M Wifi Drain Battery
:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Reserved*

So.... other than setting WiFi to OFF during sleep, what is new here? Everything else has been suggested as a fix and has been shown conclusively to NOT be the fix. Did I miss something?
The problem is that the issue is sporadic and often goes away for a while. That causes everyone who does anything to the phone to think they found THE solution.
Back when I was in college, I lived in a building with an elevator that would occasionally freeze with the doors open. The actual problem was it had a bad cable and it would eventually spontaneously freeze and restart. But everyone who used that elevator had their own unique cure because that was what they did just before it spontaneously restarted

[Guide]Android System/OS Battery Drain FIX

After Installing Custom Mods and rooting on Oxygen OS I was experiencing a Android System battery Drain .
Also in custom Roms based On OOS I also had the same problem.
I was draining 35-40 percentage of my battery in a charge cycle.
I searched alot past 2-3 days on my phone to see which process is causing this Drain problem.
I found many but stoping them didn't fix it .
Finally today when I found that after SuperSU was installed
It was causing the Drain so I found a fix for this
Fix for all Roms having this problem
-Go to SuperSU app
-Settings menu
-Enable trust system User
-and enable grant permission during boot
-Then put the phone on flight mode and wait for it to cool down.
If this doesn't work
-Try setting default access to grant
-Enable MultiUser access
Hit the thanks button if this helps
Also tell me if this helps in the comments
Remember to follow all steps

Doesn't work still battery drain and phone always warm

@Nishidh
Thanks for sharing but both solutions are security risk. Maybe Magisk is solution till SuperSu is fixed (hoping that it IS the culprit).

Try to delete all of the mkv files. That helps for me. No battery drain at all

i would say "kindda" help. cause still android system drains. but, a bit less then before. i would like to see some more days.

I switched to Magisk and drain is still there so reason is something else seemingly. It has something to do with FW/Modem. We all need to deluge OnePlus with requests to fix this mess.

Helps me
My current battery cycle

For me clearing the Google Play Services database solved the battery drain.
Apps,
Google play services
Storage
Manage Space
Clear all data
I then remained on that screen and restarted the phone into recovery without returning to the launcher.
In recovery clear cache only.
Reboot
Since then I have had no problems at all (though I am running complete stock no root)
No data is lost but you will have to add cards to android pay and set a couple of other items when prompted (like default backup account etc).

I mean no disrespect to the OP when posting this..
Isn't setting default root access to "grant" a crazy big security risk? Potentially malicious apps could reboot recovery in the middle of the night, flash some REAL spyware and feed back all your passwords without you knowing and could compromise your online accounts, still have to be installed first or some exploit would have to be found, but it just seems the risks outweigh the benefits.
Are you sure it's not another app you've consistently installed? F2fs? Clean installs + factory resets? Checked your signal strength lately? Wi-Fi + Bluetooth scanning? Facebook/whatsapp/etc installed? Google location history? Different versions of twrp? Titanium backups? Uncheck the the option in android settings to Backup and restore android apps? Installed several versions of older supersu?[ R4, r3, r2, r1, r2d2?]Franco kernel? [HIGHLY RECOMMEND. All the other kernels I've tried leave my device pretty warm, but franco keeps it cool), or Anoint your phone with luxurious oils, passionately bathe it and whisper sweet things into its microphone? [References here->
]
I just wanted to make my thoughts known, some newer users to root might come by, try and follow these steps hoping for SOT gains, and needlessly compromise their phone in the process.
If you persist in believing cf supersu is the root cause (that's a knee slapper!!) I think trying another supersu might be a better way to go than ticking all those options. Say like, phh's or CWM.
Again, I mean no disrespect to the OP. Just my thoughts.

Forget about SuperSU, You guys have no idea what causes the andriod OS drain after flashing.... So stop blaming kernel, SuperSU, gplay services etc.. The answer is out there in forums.. Feel free to browse and search for it...

I saw you also sprayed ppl with their own bs on Blu spark thread. All i can say is I roam those forums a lot myself but haven't come across a clear stating about these issues (apart from the SELinux shenanigans). So what about you flood us with your great wisdom instead big boy?

Here you go:
Apparently you claim that you roam this forums and yet you didn't find the answer. Interesting claims.
Anyways here is your answer since even you didmt even fi d answer after roaming..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811&page=5
Read it carefully though.. Explains why andriod OS drain battery more in first days (Not cycles) after flashing rom.. More apps, more the drain..
Tl;Dr for lazy people out there... Andriod os drain is present because Google itself has changed how andriod works..
On side note, I don't spread bs.. I just put my observations. It is upto people to fix it and accept the truth or get emo over it..

I read this post from Rovo long ago, and I of course was taking about abnormal drains they were occurring long after reinstalls or new ROM flashes. It's well known, the rebuilding of caches etc.. Anyone complaining before this incompressible period should be treated like you do. Also, still thanx for minding sharing something at least and on a SECOND side note, read again, I never said you spread bs, pretty much the other way around, i was just suggesting you enlighten us instead of "spraying people with their own bs" like for example, on the Blu spark thread where I know you were putting whiners back in place. Cheers.

I am using magisk, so what about me?
