I bought my Chromecast a few days ago, so I don't know if this is the normal behavior. Every time I cast something my phone stays awake.
Is this normal?
Thanks!

I've been ROM-free for months now ever since this problem started but alas! Not even returning it to the stock using Sony's repair thing fixed it.
My phone has been rebooting at random moments and whenever I'm lucky enough to see it on, the battery status always changes. For example, I've recently charged it then put it in my pocket for a couple of hours, when I check it, I see the Sony Ericson logo and when it turns on the battery has completely gone from 90 to 20 something if I'm lucky and 3% or so if I'm not. This problem is often found when: I've left it in my pocket for even the slightest period of time, when someone's calling me (I can't even answer calls for more than a few seconds now because it always dies on me), and other random moments.
If it helps, the battery seems to be on fire every time it reboots itself. Thanks for any helpful suggestions and even for just reading.
Hello
I recently bought and setup a chromecast to work with my HDTV. I am usually tech savvy but somehow this issue has me stumped big time...
When I cast youtube videos from my Phone (i337 Galaxy S4) using the youtube app, everything seems to be fine. I can control all the actions (pause, forward, rewind etc.) without any issues. The real problem arises when I am done with youtube casting. For example, yesterday I was at 89% battery when I ended youtube cast and went to bed. I woke up to a dead phone... This has happened always to my i337 phone.
When I use my wife's iPhone-4s, everything is fine... Could somebody tell me if I'm doing it wrong? This has been very frustrating to say the least...
I usually end the video by following the below steps:
1. On my phone, I change the youtube video to "play on phone".
2. I then pause the video on the phone and quit the youtube app.
3. This stops the playback on the HDTV. So I switch off the TV using my remote.
4. I confirm that youtube is killed using a "Task Killer" on my android phone.
5. Go to bed with more than 80% battery & screen off.
6. Wake up to a completely dead phone causing missed alarms for work.
I have "Juice Defender" app on my phone, so looking at the logs I did not observe anything out of the ordinary. If I didn't use my chromecast with phone the previous night, I usually wake up to about 73% battery on my phone... So I think something is wrong here...
Help appreciated. Thanks

Not too sure how detailed Juice Defender logs can be, but you might want to try BetterBatteryStats.

I usually use this to log and verify which app is draining the battery.

This has happened again. I usually use my wife's iPhone-4S to stream content to the Chromecast at home. I had completely stopped connecting my i337 Galaxy-S4 to the chromecast.
Yesterday was different as my wife's phone was not available and I had to connect to the Chromecast using my i337. Same battery drain issue again. I went to sleep with 63% battery & on WiFi and woke up to a dead phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My JuiceDefender log says "Data Traffic Detected, Delaying Disable". My guess is some service/app on the phone is just refusing to stop data communication. I am just not able to figure out which one....
Help appreciated. Thanks

What did you see on the BetterBatteryStats logs?
turn off wifi and turn it on after couple of minutes

it a quick and dirty method.. I turn off the tv before going to bed, so chromecast turns off as it gets the power from TV usb port. then I quickly toggle wifi off , after a minute or so I toggle on wifi. try this and let us know the results
So here's the deal. Wasn't getting great idle drain but figured I'd give it a while to see if it worked itself out. It hasn't. Took my phone off the charger and slept for less than 8 ours and loss almost 16% about 2% per hour.
I had wifi on. Blue tooth off. gps off. i have greenify stopping my voicemail and facebook app. I have about 60 something apps frozen. Android OS took up most of my battery life as you can see in pictures. Went to partial wakelocks and saw email at 30seconds but there are only like 45 secs of partial wakelocks so not that big of a deal. Noticed that better battery stats said my phone was awake for almost an hour (I was on it for 10 minutes looking at stuff which is why the screen on pic saus about 10 minutes, the screen wasn't on at all from unplug to me waking up). Noticed under kernal lock that something was keeping stuff on for almost an hour.
So why on earth was my phone on for almost an hour of the 8 hours i was asleep? Further, why does my battery drain look like it was pretty consistent over that time even though the phone was on for an hour. It makes me think that it continuously must be turning itself back on. I know that wifi is the problem for some people but I figured that I would be able to see that in partial wakelocks yet it isn't there. I can try changing wifi stuff if some sees something showing that it is wifi issues.
Otherwise, maybe i should return the phone???
So , I would say that the main issue is your mail service process. It woke up 184 times, every time it wakes its going to keep the phone awake for a little before the phone completely goes back to sleep. it is work related i assume?

yes that mail account is work and there is an account for my school. It is the email apk that bypasses security that plenty of other people are running. Do you think that it is an account issue or the Email.apk? So the 180 wake ups only totaled for 30 something seconds of partial wakelock. Is it not showing upas a partial wakelock and that is why the phone says that it was on for so long?
also, I read that something having to do with wifi and the qcom_rx_wakelock cause severe battery drain. Know anything about that.
So, yes, the app only worked for 33 seconds because each wakelock probably required only a few milliseconds to do what it needed to do.. but the phone does not go to sleep instantly after each wakelock. so for each of the 184 times that app woke your phone up, it was "awake" for 5-15 seconds or however long it takes the phone to decide its time to go to sleep again. Awake time for me is almost always a function of screen time, like 1.5x - 2x my screen time.

so any idea on a solution besides setting up for my email to only check every half hour. It is set to push right now. Given I don't need it at night really and i can set something up to change when it is allowed to check for emails. But sometimes I am up at 2 because I get an email that requires me to do work. Also, the qcom_rx_wakelock that kept m phone on for 32 minutes or something doesn't seem to have to do with the email. But maybe when the email tries to access the internet that wakelock runs to try to get wifi...
edit: I did more research on the qcom_rx_wakelock. I still don't understand it all but it is some issue that the 4.2.2 update came with. It causes major battery drain on some wifi networks and not on some others. It has to do with the wifi connection continuously having to talk to the router and waking the phone up which is also tied to some apps that are syncing. People on nexus's have created patches that fix the issue, but I don't think I'm going to be doing anything like that. I PMd a member to try and get more information.
For now I have two routers at my house and will be switching to using the other router for my wifi connection on my phone to see if it creates the same battery draining issues while in sleep. If I get any more information I will update again. I also think this could explain a lot of the reason that some people are experiencing sub-par battery life while others are getting great battery life. Depending on what router (work, school, home, public place) you are on might make the phone constantly turn itself on and off trying to reconnect or do something with that wifi network. I know many people have had 15 to 20% battery drain overnight then turned wifi off and just stayed on 3g/4g connection and battery drain went to 4 to 5% over night. FYI
I just got the Moto X and have a few things installed. My question is, in the battery mete graph you have screen on and awake. Is the awake always supposed to be on? I'm guessing it is since it has the touchless controls always listening.
Figured why it won't go to sleep. Has anyone ever had it where the phone app gets stuck and stays awake? Only way to get rid of it for me is to reboot.
So Lately my Galaxy Note 5 became pain in the butt. While watching youtube on "Youtube app" the screen turns to black, and then I have to pause or play, to have the screen back into play. Same happens with Netflix app I keep getting an error and it closes the app.
The other issue i am facing is battery drains so Fast. I leave the phone with a complete charge at night, and in the morning like in 6-7 hours , the phone is dead. Even if it is on battery saving mode.
I am with Verizon, and most of the time it is connected to WiFi.
I had this phone for 2 years, never faced issues such this? - Is there anyway to solve it, cause i do not want to change the phone yet. Also I have tried to do hard reset, everything, shutting it down ,etc.. it is not fixing the issue
Any suggestions? - Maybe it is the latest update causing the issue?
You might need to change the battery especially if you've done a hard reset among other things.
I have a problem, last 2 days sleep data dont sync with phone...
Before that there was no problem.
Anyone with same problem?
Restart helpd
same problem this morning for me. Sleep is tracked on the watch but does not transfer to phone while all other data do. I restarted phone and watch and still the same issue. Yesterday I updated my phone to android 11 and the watch to Tizen 5.5.0.2. Does anybody have the same issue?
In case anybody is interested I think I found out the issue: I took my Spo2 level during the night with the watch and it seems that it screwed up the sleep recording. The watch was showing only the time spent sleeping, no other detail, and the transfer to the phone was not possible. Another Samsung trick...
For me another problem, watch shows my sleep time 1 hour in advance, for example from 23:00-6:30 instead 22:00-5:30
