Why is Voicemail keeping my phone awake so much? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm a bit confused here...I use GSam Battery Monitor to keep track of everything b/c I'm anal about whats running on my phone and lately, if i check "Time held awake", voicemail is number one...like today...2h 59m and the phone has only been off the charger for about 7 hours....does that make any sense??
Voicemail is in the top 3 of power used at 12.9%...If i check "number of times waking device", voicemail is nowhere to be found in that list...
So is this normal or is something crazy going on?
Wakelock Detail:
starting cm_vnote service 1h 31m
cm message wakeup 1h 29m
18 wakelocks.

Is this a visual voicemail app that came preinstalled? If so, disable it assuming you're on Android 4.0 or above).

Mine has been awake since I unplugged. I would guess the reason were not seeing the times waking the device is because it's not waking it, it is holding it awake.
I'm on vipers newest, and this did not start until I switched to his newest. But I am always deleting useless apps, I wondervif your are doing the same?

I do believe this is sprints VVM app, and there is no way to disable it.

Why not just use Google voice? When you set it up it will disable the Visual voicemail app.

Or you can just freeze it and I'm wondering if you can use the pm disable command to disable it

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.

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.

Google voice power hog???

Just looking at my battery status my highest used item is Google voice at 32% where it was used to hear a voicemail. It also said the keep awake hit 2 1/2 hours. Any suggestions? I did a force stop on it via battery status but I don't want that much juice being used for nothing.

nexus 7 not killing wifi during sleep after updating to 4.2.1

I have selected to never keep WiFi on during sleep yet now the tablet continues to run the WiFi as you can see in the pictures. This has forced me to use airplane mode when I am on the go because otherwise the tablet just keeps WiFi on and burns the battery extremely quick. This has been a problem since I updated to 4.2.1. I am not rooted completely stock. A solution would be great because this sucks right now. I have tried clearing the cache in recovery but that didn't solve the problem.
I'm running the latest Paranoidandroid ROM and thought that was the problem. I can't yet post to that developer forum so I was just waiting for the next beta.
I guess it's a problem with 4.2.1 then.

If you don't find a solution you may want to try DataEasyPro from the market. It kills both 3g and wifi as soon as the screen is off and then runs a user defined schedule to turn on 3g or wifi every now and the for a few seconds to keep you upto date with your social world. Works great. There is even a widget so you can turn off the schedule when you are downloading or updating from the play store.

I think it is a 4.2.1 problem. Its hard to say how wide spread it is though because I have only seen a handful of posts about this issue though. To me, this issue is unacceptable. I should not have to enable/disable airplane mode to conserve battery. Especially when the previous version of android prior to the 4.2.1 update handled WiFi sleep settings without a problem. Hopefully a fix will be here soon. My tablet used to have superb battery life without me constantly monitoring it. Now I feel like I have to keep double checking that I remember to use airplane mode so that I don't go to use the tablet and find a nearly depleted battery.

I recommend automate it, I have a couple of rules set to turn WiFi of with the screen (with a 5min delay), then turn Wi-Fi back on when the screen turns on. There's plenty of other settings and rules to play with as well.

In had the same issue. I found Google maps to be the culprit.
It defaulted back to location reporting.
Check Google now sync, maps and currents.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It's not google maps itself, it's the android location service. It's always collecting data even if your phone or tabscreen isn't on. This is pretty anoying since google only let you choose between agreeing to run the service in the background or not using it at all. Stupid! How about collecting data only when the device is in use?
Same here. There is a bug report on Google about it.

Ah this is interesting; as last night my battery was on 53% and I am sure I charged it fully previously...... Am on stock too but have rooted.
Might just switch the tablet off all the time for the time being.
I'm on stock rooted 4.2.1 and mine is fine. Strange.

WiFi turns off here also, which means its working as intended, what is strange is is it not working for some people, I'm also on stock rooted 4.2.1.
what is the OP using? Are there any apps installed/running on the OPs device that can keep the WiFi alive?

I highly recommend using an app called Better Battery Stats. You can find the free version here on XDA. It'll tell you if there is an app causing a wakelock. I used it to troubleshoot my Rezound and I'm getting a solid 4-5 hours of screen on time with the extended battery on that because it helped me lock down the apps that were killing my battery.

I was having the wifi on issue as well. Just bought my N7, stock 4.2.1 and not rooted. I followed the tip in point four of this post, which details a simple set up using Tasker, where the unit turns the wifi on and off after the screen turns on or off respectively. The reason for the 10 second delay as is detailed in the link, is to allow for the turning on of your N7 to check the time or other reasons, and then quickly turn it off without the wifi on task being activated.
the screenshot below shows my wifi being stuck on while in sleep mode, even with it set to be never on during sleep in the settings, and the change in behavior once the 2 Tasker profiles we set up.
Cheers
Those of you having issues, have you tried the "only when plugged in" setting? Not sure if it would really matter but that's what I use and mine turns on and off just fine.

Testing that now. Turned off Tasker, and set wifi to the "only when plugged in" setting. It's only been about 30 minutes, but so far it looks like it's behaving the same as before, as in keeping wifi on while in sleep. I'll Let it sleep for a few hours and see what the chart shows.
Cheers
EDIT: So I let my N7 sit for about an hour after switching the above mentioned settings, and you can see in the screenshot below that the wifi is staying on while the unit is not awake. I've set my Tasker profiles to control the wifi once again.
I know it may be fixed by a factory reset, but frankly I'm more than happy with the way Tasker handles the issue.
Cheers
so 6 months later, I am still getting this problem. However it seems only to be with the last update. The tasker method seems to be working well though.

[Q] GsmInboundSmsHandler Killing Battery

I have a T-Mobile Moto X running 4.4 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed with ART. Today, while taking exams, I felt my phone getting really hot in my pocket and after exams were done, I checked my battery usage to find that Android OS, which normally takes up about 15~25 percent of my battery, was taking up 41% of my battery. I also checked Wakelock Detector, which revealed that "GsmInboundSmsHandler" kept my phone awake for over 3 hours. I searched this up on Google, which only revealed some code, and then I searched it up on xda, which revealed that it had something to do with my voice mail. This makes sense as somebody called me and left me a voice mail, but I checked my voice mail and deleted it right before taking my exam, so the voice mail was only there for about half an hour while the problem persisted for over 3 hours. Also, I placed 2 calls that lasted about a minute long after my exams, and somehow, that combined with my call to voice mail drained 23% of my battery.
Any light on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
If someone could report this to Moto... It doesn't seem like a widespread issue as Google brings up nothing.

Do you use tmobile visual voice mail or other tmobile app?
I used to have that too, but after uninstall it, you'll be fine. Don't know if greenify will work or not, but I figured I don't really need tmobile's app.

For me it happens even without any visual voicemail apps. What truly impressed me is that even with this wakelock, I was still able to get around 20hrs with around 4.5 hours of screen time.

Did this happen allot of times? One time? Sometimes things just get stuck. Reboot, fixed.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
The problem seems to have gone away and no, I do not have the visual voicemail installed. I was just hoping that somebody could give advice on how to prevent this in the future, but I think a reboot would have worked.
I'm running the TMO kangkat ROM on Bell. I get this wakelock after I receive a SMS quite often. Not sure how to prevent it. Don't see any TMO apps anywhere.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
I too am getting this wakelock. I can reproduce it by calling my phone and leaving a voicemail. Thus far the only way I have been able to get rid of it is to check voice mail to clear the indicator and the reboot.
I should note this is on AT&T using a developer edition phone. Kit Kat was installed via an OTA. Phone is rooted via TWRP method but is otherwise stock.
FYI. I switched from ART to dalvik today to install xposed and the wakelock still occurs when I get voicemail. So it's not an ART problem. I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache again and no luck either. Switching default sms app didn't have an effect.
It looks like the update to 4.4.2 has fixed this issue for me. Made a call to my phone. Left voicemail and no wakelock this time.
I have same problem. Did anyone find a solution?

Mine does/did the same thing. Never figured out what it was. Now it is up for sell and I am using my newer HTC One. I think it might be the power saver but never got around to testing it. In PS mode it is supposed to turn data off when the phone is sleeping.

messing around with the settings and found it has something to do with the lock screen security. When its set to "none" the notifications works fine. I have tried a couple of the apps for screen locks and are not satisfied with them as far as thier looks. I am really hoping when ATT finally released the kit kat update it will fix this problem. I just sold my LG G2 to get this phone. Kinda disappointed now that ATT released its update today.
I used to have the HTC one but didnt like not having the sd card. I found I like the bigger screens.
Did you finally figure out the solution? I am completely stock, not rooted and have the same issue since last 6 months. I never had any lock screen, so thats not the issue, I always have my phone unlocked.
The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.
It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on. Some people said that the push notification heartbeat might be the issue but why only few of us are seeing this issue and not everyone?
Anyone have any solution?
I have always had my Note 3 on PIN, and I always wake up to at least 2 or 3 emails (sometimes many more), and at least 2 or 3 days I wake up to a new text (I don't text people normally, but Amazon texts me to let me know an order has shipped, etc.)
So it's not the email or text app and it's not the lock screen "as a rule on all devices". It could be a few different things, like allowing wifi to be turned off when the screen is off (that saves so little battery it doesn't make any practical difference - turn it off and keep wifi on all the time). I don't normally run with 3G/4G on, but that shouldn't turn off during sleep, so it wouldn't cause the problem.
