Use Betterbatterystats or Wakelock Detector.

What if the apps that detect background apps are background apps themselves? Do they detect themselves? In the background?

Don't be so confusing!
I have noticed that Wakelock Detector even can fulfill its purpose when the app itself is completely killed.

Display malfunction

Hi guys,
Maybe some of you have experienced this before, when I put my note away the screen of it gets lit up as if there was an app keeping it from sleep mode. But this happens even right after I have terminated all apps and processes. So technically barely anything runs. I think it might be a software issue? Any ideas please?

Install the CPU spy.apk (Play Market). This app will tell you if your phone is in deep sleep.
can u post the battery stats
open your battery, wait 10 seconds, reassemble and turn it back on... if you're still facing the problem, install and run CPU Spy from Play Store and see which app/service is keeping you phone from sleeping and uninstall that.
It's probably a kernel wakelock
Will try the CPU spy application now. Will post my findings.

Should I be looking at these processes that are possibly waking my phone up? So far I don't see how this app is solving my problem.
Thanks so much

this l2_hsic wkelock is mainly caused by unplugging the charger without unlocking the lock screen. or unplugging when the screen is black.
Its a known bug
shutdown ur phone., pull out battery, wait for 10 secs., reinsert and reboot. The wkelock should be gone. test again with betterbatterystats

Walkman widget not visible on Lockscree

The walkman widget does not show up on the lockscreen of my Xperia Z.
It used to be visible till sometime back, but for the past month or so, whenever i play music, i get the player in the notification bar but no lockscreen widget.
I have tried reinstalling the Walkman but it didnt help.
Any suggestions?
What firmware are you running?

Stock firmware...(10.3.1.A.0.244)
I had the same problem. I've now updated to the new version of the app and it's all sorted.
If you have any process killers installed I think it kills the Walkman briefly so the lock screen doesn't know to show it as it thinks it's inactive.

It's more likely that wakelocks are draining your battery.
Look for the thread titled "[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks" in the AT&T S2 Skyrocket forum.

I can tell you that SwiftKey since they updated to the new free version it opens and runs Facebook in the background even if you don't have it set up to learn from Facebook. I thought this was very sketch of them and because of it I stopped using SwiftKey. I am also noticing Hangouts is running a lot more in the background that it used to. I use greenify to hibernate it but I have telephony notifications set up to push through so it'll bring it out of hibernation when I get a text. Hope this helps. If you're looking for a replacement for SwiftKey Fleksy is pretty good... It's not SwiftKey but it does a good job and has some cool features.

root your phone, install "wakelock detector", grant SU access, a take a look for a while. And check that process causes excessive battery consumption.:good:
