New IPC Wakelock - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just started getting this a day ago. All syncs turned off, most Samsung apps frozen, literally nothing extra running in the background and can't get rid of this wake lock. No search results on it either, any idea guys?? Phone went from 100% to 64% overnight from 2am to 8am because of this. Won't stay in deep sleep.

Same here. Just noticed this yesterday. Been searching and have found nothing. BTW, I'm 100% stock (not rooted).
Update 1:
Been playing around with basic settings.
Turned Wifi off : No change (IPC still running)
Turned GPS off : IPC stopped running!!! Still too early to tell, but is your GPS on?
Update 2:
Turned GPS back on : IPC did not restart (phone is now deep sleeping)
Going to turn Wifi back on ......
Update 3:
Wifi back on and IPC did not return. Hmmm, gone for now, but for how long. Still try turning off GPS as that is when it stopped for me (and has not returned even though I have turned GPS back on.) BTW, GPS was not showing as a battery drain while IPC was, it could have been coincidence, just documenting what I've tried.

Problem happened again this morning.
I turned GPS off, problem stopped.
I turned GPS back on and the problem did not return.
Still no root cause, but when it happens, cycling GPS seems to stop it (at least temporarily.)

Glad you found the solution. I finally gave up and just wiped my device because it was draining too fast. Will definitely use your solution in the future if it reappears

My battery life was running perfect, I even bragged about it to friends then all of a sudden a few of days ago, I face the same exact issue. Until now, I can't figure it out. I already did 1 clean wipe (factory reset) and everything seem to be ok for 22 hrs. Then out of nowhere, Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread starts sucking my battery dry all over again. I tried toggling GPS and Wifi but no luck as it's still running in the background. I'm not sure if it's an app causing this or if it could possibly be from turning off a lot of bloatware?

I bet the option circled in my pic was on when you had the problems, right?

Definitely not on or checked and I rarely enable GPS.
I haven't installed any new apps to my phone recently. Only 2 things i've done right before this started happening was 1. unlock my phone 2. turned off and force stopped dozens of ATT bloatware.

Hmm bizarre man. I am not rooted but I have been getting excellent battery life with that box unchecked but with GPS actually on.
Sorry I was of no help.

I am getting this wakelock as well. Happened after I froze some stuff, so I'm going to experiment.

l was getting this wake lock as well and noticed that in battery stats, the GPS was showing as always on despite every location option being turned off.
After reading up a bit, I uninstalled the task killer I was using. I think some program put in for a location hold without specifying a timeout for releasing it. The task killer then abruptly killed it, and the lock was never released.
Everything seems back to normal now after the uninstall and a reboot.
Hope this helps somebody.

After factory resetting my device it went away. Now after two days of not changing any settings it is back

I too continue to randomly suffer from this problem. I'm finding that cycling GPS does not always work (neither does rebooting).
These "Android OS" wakelocks drive me crazy, its not "Android OS." can be uninstalled.
I'm still fairly convinced that it has something to do with Location (GPS). Could be weather, Google Maps, Google Now, ...

And this is back again. Does anyone have this?
Seriously I am not even installing apps from the playstore. After around 3 days it randomly comes back and doesn't stop. it consumes about one percent of battery every 3 minutes according to BBS. Thinking about selling the phone because of this.

Have you had any luck with this?

I just got back from a 1 month trip to Thailand. I took out ATT sim card and popped in a local SIM card by True Mobile with only 3G support. I had zero battery issues and no Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread for 1 whole month. Now that I am back from vacation, popped in ATT sim card, Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread is back in action draining my battery at a rate of almost 10% per hour. (Running stock with most recent ATT OTA update)
I wonder if this issue is directly tied with 3G/4G or SIM card use?

Resurrecting an old thread. I've been getting this ipc wakelock for the past week. Is there anything that helps this? This is really frustrating.

The issue was never resolved. I ended up rooting and installing x-note rom which is currently running flawless. Smooth as silk, no ipc issues and battery life is insanely awesome. With stock battery i'm running 24-29 hrs moderate to heavy use. With my hyperion extended battery i'm running 48+ hours with atleast 10 hrs screen time. No battery drainage or non sense wake locks on X-note rom.
If I were you, i'd ditch the ATT stock rom, it's night and day.

I just started having the exact same ipc00000024_er.serverthread wake lock and I can't find a solution. Newly rooted, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

There's nothing you can do if you're still running stock. I've tried to solve the problem for months.
Go install a custom rom, X-note 7 is badass. Kiss ipc000024 goodbye!

I was having issues with this wakelock as well. Toggling GPS on/off fixed it for me. Perhaps Ingress was locking the gps position... dunno.
---nevermind, it returns after a while just like the guys above mentioned---

[Q] Suddenly Nexus battery drains quickly

Hello all.
I bought a Nexus One in at the beginning of the year. It's not rooted and I've had no problems from it till this month. I can not say the timing is exactly this, but it seems the battery issues started just after the FRG83D upgrade. I am accustomed to using my phone for most of the day before it needs to be charged. 12 hours or more with moderate use. Since around the FRG83D update my battery is about dead in around 4 or 5 hours. I haven't changed any settings or gotten any new apps or anything for quite some time.
For example, Friday night I charged my phone to 100% and then unplugged it (to plug in my girlfriends phone) and went to bed (about midnight). At 5:15am my alarm went off, i glanced at my phone and found the batter was at 10%!! the phone had been sitting there doing nothing all night with the screen off. I checked the battery use screen and it showed cell standby and AKMD taking up all the battery (55% and 35% respectively). I should mention that I have full signal where I am and have never had an issue. I cut off the screen rotate in the settings just in case that was part of it (AKMD being the gsensor i believe).
At next full charge that day i noticed the same problem, after being at 100% my battery was down to 10% after about 5 hours, almost the entire time I didn't use the phone. This time "display" was the largest percent by far (followed by cell standby), but clicking it showed only 15 minutes of use time for the display as I had purposefully not messed with the phone much.
Last night I had to be out and a bout so I decided to test things again. Charged full and cut airplane mode on. about 4 hours later my phone was down to 20ish percent, the only use of the phone being me looking at the charge level a couple times through the night.
I installed "spare parts" app and it shows my battery as being in good health and such but who knows how reliable that is.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggested remediation measures? I'm considering flashing the phone and reinstalling apps and such but would rather avoid that having never done that before and not having a desire to deal with setting everything back the way I have it.
Don't know if it matters but I run LauncherPRO and I do use the friends widget but it's never seemed to really cause battery issues before. I also run the news/weather widget, but again, no previous problems.
Any help would be great
Thanks!
In the spare parts app check partial wake usage. See if any apps are not letting your phone sleep.
nothing stands out other than UID 10073 which is handcent. currently my phone is charging but I'll pop it off the charger soon and watch the battery drop time again. I should note that inbetween all the tests so far i've rebooted the device so hanging apps of any kind should be killed off...
What ROM are you using?
Are you using Extended Controls? There is an issue with that and FRG83D. Uninstall it until the dev sorts it out.
yeah i am using extended controls. i'll take it off and see what happens.
Me too
I Have exactly the same issue, also have extended controls. Uninstalled and waiting to see if that works.
Cheers for the suggestion.
That did the trick! Loss like extended controls was the problem. A shame as i really like that app. Will hope they update and fix soon. Thanks!

Yup, uninstalling fixed it for me too. Haven't seen the update though. I remember seeing an update yesterday, but I had this issue with that update so that did not fix it for me. Hope they update it again soon

I think it was updated again today. Now v5.03, and it seems to work properly.
So nobody saw Extended Controls showing up in Spare Parts, System Panel or other such programs?

Battery Drain!!

Why is the battery drain on this phone soo bad?! I bought a 3900mah extended battery and i still cannot go a whole day without killing my battery! WTF, and i dont even use it that much. Im on stock Gingerbread v20p update.

look at your battery stats
i have noticed that in my battery states that my phone stays "AWAKE" even when the screen is turned off for an extended period of time. I noticed that YAHOO! Mail app has a tendency of running constantly in the background keeping it awake. I noticed better life after uninstalling it.
SETTINGS / APPLICATIONS/ BATTERY USE then click on the small graph and tilt your phone to see it in landscape. Notice the change in the graph when your phone is awake vs. asleep.
I wish there was an app that told me when certain programs keep your phone "AWAKE" when the screen is off. That IMO, is the the real culprit!
Had a similar issue. Found google maps feasting on my battery when I wasn't looking. Kept turning it off but it would just turn back on till I noticed again. I figured out it was other apps with location services kicking it on. So I found a handy permissions editor from the play store and blocked the permissions to any app that wanted a location service. I also uninstalled any redundant apps that where stock but never used. Just went all day today on the stock battery with no need to charge.

do you remember the name of the app you used?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
i saw on other forums that an XDA developer wrote a great app called BETTERBATTERYSTATS. search XDA for it. it is free, but if you get it off of Google play it will cost a few dollars.
Using it I noticed that my Wifi was trying to turn itself on, but for some reason, at times, my wifi will not connect. if you force it, it just blinks at you 5 times and never turns on. Well, I think that some apps that use your wifi will turn it on, then if it wont connect, it continues to try until your battery dies.
I've had this issue with Bluetooth at times too. So since i rooted my phone, i have installed QUICKBOOT for those times to do a fast reboot which fixes wifi and bluetooth.
I have also purchased TASKER and told my phone to reboot at 3am every night. I still watch the betterbatterystats app to keep an eye on it and it seems to be fine.
i am also running the optimus 3D Gingerbread rom v21E on my Thrill and not the v20P AT&T stock rom. I had ghost call issues with AT&T's rom. (calls that people would make to me and the phone would never ring or show that they called). Hope this helps. With this rom i get 4g speeds (up to 10Mb) but not LTE speeds which is just a hair faster.
Think about adding Juice defender too to your catalog. recently i got my battery to last almost 24 hours!

Help, phone overheating

Phone is regular S5 (not Active) rooted stock. The last two days my phone has had a persistent notification saying Searching by GPS. The phone becomes extremely hot and battery is draining faster than 15% an hour.
I have several Xposed modules, but nothing that I have added in the last month and this started 2 days ago. I can stop the issue by turning off location, but that is not a permanent fix. Yesterday for some reason Plume was the biggest offender in the battery stats, so I deleted that app for good measure, but the issue persisted. Finally after shutting down the phone for 5 minutes and turning it back on, the issue disappeared, but is back today. Any ideas?
Check ur cpu make sure it not hanging.

Nothing hanging. Why is Searching using GPS persistent? I have a lock on location on Google Maps, so there is a GPS lock. What processes or apps might use this?

T-mob Galaxy S6 5.1.1 Updated -> Significant power draw when WiFi enabled

For some reason after the 5.1.1 update on my T-mobile Galaxy S6 it was running hot and looking at the power consumption it was draining the battery quickly. It drained about 15% of the battery in less than an hour w/ nothing running in the background, and the battery usage is displaying 1% for everything for some reason. The one on top is com.tmobile.pr.adapt.
I wasn't sure if T-mobile pulled something stupid like making one of their apps that communicates to their network, but only over their data (i.e. not over wifi - like they do with showing your account information.) So, I turned off the WiFi to let it run off of LTE for a while. It cooled down and power consumption went back to normal (for being on LTE.) I let it sit for a couple hours that way, then switched back to WiFi and within a few minutes it was heated back up and power draining fast for some reason. There's no indication of things being downloaded but it's drawing way too much power.
Note I've rebooted it 3 times w/ same type of power activity.
Any thoughts, and anyone know how to role back to 5.0?
If you took the ota or used Odin to update you can't downgrade. I told everyone first thing this morning a downgrade won't be possible. Have you done a factory reset since updating?
I did a factory reset when I updated and battery life has been good with no strange issues.

Haven't tried a factory reset yet. I figured I couldn't downgrade as that's typical. I left it overnight w/ WiFi enabled and it drained downfrom 100% to 60% within the first 2hrs and then started draining slower to about 36% over then next 10hrs.
I topped it off w/ WiFi turned on and it felt like it was running hot. Left the house to run some errands for an hour and it only dropped to 96% (WiFi turned on but not connected.)
I've just got back from that, I'm going to let it sit for an hour w/ WiFi on but will leave it sit and see what happens. Personally I don't want to do a Factory Reset but if I'm still having the issue that's where I'll go. I had a similiar issue for a while on my S4 but it went away after a couple weeks.
EDIT: Ok, almost an hour later and it's only dropped about 3% while the WiFi was enabled and connected. I guess whatever was causing that has settled down. Thankfully no Factory Reset was required.
It is because of a stupid bug on WiFi calling (the mobile antenna does not turn off and it drains the battery). If you want to use wifi, just disable wifi calling, and you should be ok
I'm having a similar experience as TAZ427. Just updated my T-Mobile GS6 edge to 5.1.1 with OTA. I immediately noticed the phone was somewhat warmer. Battery monitor reveals that com.tmobile.pr.adapt is now #1 on the list. I tried killing that process several times but keeps coming back.
I also notice that despite being connected to my home WiFi, the "4GLTE" icon comes on and off constantly (1 second on, 3 seconds off, repeat...). Before the update, 4GLTE rarely came on while on WiFi. So probably the increased battery drain and heat are due to radio usage, not necessarily extra CPU utilization.
Not sure what com.tmobile.pr.adapt is for, or if it can be disabled. Would love to hear any guidance on that. As a side note, I had TMO grant me a SIM unlock -- I'm actually on Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO). So this service is running despite my phone not actually using the T-Mobile network.
I'm going to continue observing for the next couple of days before doing a factory reset. Really hoping to avoid that...

I am having the same issue and my phone is not usable now since the battery is awful. My s6 is temporary unlocked for a month since I am out of the states. I am afraid this is happening for unlocked s6's only. The trick of restricting background data for the "com.mobile.pr.adapt" seems to be working for now.

My S6 is not unlocked, it's a T-Mobile variant right out of the box activated on MetroPCS. If I had to venture a guess it would be that this is only happening to phones not on T-Mobile, not necessarily just unlocked. I'm assuming that com.tmobile.pr.adapt is some kind of phonehome or data reporter for T-Mobile but since we're not on T-Mobile it keeps bouncing back and getting stuck in some stupid loop.
I have the same problem with my unlocked t-mobile device (running on att). I wouldn't be so pissed if the update at least fixed the memory drain, but noooooope. Now I'm stuck with a 450mb phone that crashes and has bad battery (last two are new).
I did that small hotfix, and will check back.
Has everyone cleared the cache partition? Since the update, is the download booster automatically set to on?

The download booster is set to off after the 5.1.1 update
Happy to report that for me, this "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" issue has effectively gone away. Things started getting better after I cleared the cache and data for this process. I also restricted its background data as was suggested by others. Not sure which of those actions did the trick. Just theorizing, but another possibility is that T-Mobile was simply collecting post-update metrics from their phones for QA purposes, and that this was all just a short term annoyance. Anyone still seeing battery drain and heat higher than normal due to this process?
Anyway, "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" is no longer registering on my battery usage menu, or on CPU utilization list when I run OS Monitor. The phone is performing well overall (no worse than before the 5.1.1 update, anyway).
Excellent battery life for me. I had over 17 hours in total & 3+ hours on screen time. Only problem is i cant seem to install downloaded apps manually
Thanks

After the 5.1.1 update this morning my S6 went from a 100% charge to 10% in about 2.5 hours which was disheartening. Tried a factory reset which didn't help. Even charging from a USB port didn't stop it from draining the battery (just drained slower)! Called TING and they had no idea. But this seems to be working for me too. Thanks!!! I'll email TING to let them know about the fix, may help with a future update?

I think it has more to do with T-Mobile pushing a fix or an update, because whatever they did to 5.1.1 on their end royally screwed anyone using their branded S6 on another carrier. I don't know the proper channels to make T-Mobile aware of this.
I have the same annoying problem on my 920T. I bought it from t-mo, unlocked it and am using it in Italy. As soon as I got the 5.1.1 update, com.tmobile.pr.adapt started killing my battery. I just enabled the "restrict background data" and will let you know how it goes...

5.1.1 Battery Drain

Is anyone else having huge issues with battery drain after updating to 5.1.1. I've disabled all the crap, wiped my cache, disabled enhanced LTE. and have minimal apps installed besides stock. Just took the phone off the battery charger. It was at 100% when removed. It's been sitting for 40 min with the screen off. The battery is down to 93% already with 3% being used by Android system, 1% by system UI, and 1% by Android OS. This is nuts. I can't even get through 1/2 a day of regular use. Any ideas?
Big time. My phone isn't going to sleep. My Android System Stay Awake time is more than double my screen on time.
I'm having the same problem. I currently have Location History turned on to get more surveys on Google Opinion Rewards (I could turn that off if I wanted to); and I also know that because I'm not in WiFi during the day, the Lollipop mobile radio active bug keeps the radio awake way longer than it should. It's crazy that I can leave my phone alone during the day and watch it drop ~5% an hour because of the horrible standby behavior.
There is something wrong with your phone or app. I have about 100 apps. No problem here.
This is the international version of the phone

Or it's something to do with the AT&T version of the firmware as yours is an international version and not having issues.

Battery drain issue is related to the AT&T 5.1.1 firmware.

Complaint to att to stop messing with a perfectly fine phone. I haven't turned anything off and that's my idle time.

I guess it might make sense to stay on 5.0.2 in hopes of a future bootloader unlock and to stay away from a potential battery draining bug. If only AT&T would embrace a more open approach to this model phone. I only got this phone because the nexus was out of stock and I was in need of a new phone. My trusty old S3 was a godsend, with its unlocked bootloader and fully open platform. The fact that AT&T is closing up the ability to root the phone is drastic enough, let alone introducing bugs that make you want to throw the phone at the wall (battery drain).
How can I see what is keeping my phone awake without root? It's staying awake 3/4 of the time and below is a shot of my app usage. What I can tell it's a system issue, but not sure. And yes I factory reset twice and wiped cache.
Same here. factory reset cache wipe x2 and have everything non essential disabled. It's driving me nuts! This phone was a rockstar until this update. Going to best buy tomorrow and will see if the Samsung folks can reinstall the update or something. I'll post what I find out.
Battery life is worse than my old s4. The screen barely takes any of it, when it used to be more than half the battery life on my s4. Yet I still get about the same screen on time.
Yup I completely agree. Left my phone at 53% overnight and I woke up to the phone completely drained and dead. It's ridiculous.
I noticed something odd. On wifi, battery life is great, maybe 1% every 2 hours idle. But without wifi, battery life goes down 10% an hour idle.
Finally made it to the Samsung center at best buy. The guy was able to force the update again and everything went smooth. So far maybe a little better, not sure yet. I'll post when I know for sure if it worked and was a bad update.
So after the forced re-do of the update it wasn't any better. List 20% at night with everything off. Dido another factory reset and cache wipe and that seems like it might have fixed it. Only 4% list last. Not as good as it was but definite improvement. Hope this helps anyone else with same issue.

TurboRZR please update... would love to know if that fixed it before I wipe my S6 for a second time.
I too am having an issue with the new 5.1.1 update where my "Android System" is getting stuck in a stay awake loop draining my battery. Sometimes a simple restart will fix it for a few hours, but it will always come back.
I installed wakelock detector and set it up to run on a non-rooted phone. When I pulled the statistics , the biggest battery drain I had under "Android System" was diagnostic.client.network. Nothing else even came close to the drain this resource was pulling.
This was as far as I was able to get as I have no idea what that is or how to disable it if I even should.
I have resolved the issue on my S6 Edge, I even attempted a factory reset which didn't resolve the issue. I had noticed my Wifi usage in GSAM was very high (50-70%) and after some searches I found that someone else posted in a different forum (I think it was the S6 Active forum) that the issue was related to multicast being enabled on wifi routers. I disabled it on my fios router (it's in a hidden menu) and it resolved my drain. I am now at 12 days uptime without a random drain. I also had to disabled Enhanced LTE as that was causing a HUGE drain at times when I didn't have LTE. I hope this helps.
