[Q] mdm_hsic_pm0 kernel wakelock

Hi, currently running CM10.1 on my i9305 and am getting a big battery drain from kernel wakelock mdm_hsic_pm0. Done some searching around and can only find out that its connected to something called Fast Dormancy?
Anyone know how I can solve this problem or explain what this is so I can try and fix whatever is causing it?
Thanks in advance! :good:

Have the same issue. Means my phone rarely goes under 9% battery drain per hour.
The only information I've found on the problem has been off this other forum - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23643509 - where someone states that
mdm_hsic_pm0 is to do with network traffic, so something might be using data in the background or something.

I don't know anything else though. After reading the above, I thought it might be to do with my battery management app (the issue has remained with both JuiceDefender and GreenPower) monitoring traffic and during off data if traffic drops below a certain amount. Maybe the traffic monitoring is causing wakelocks whenevery it's checking?

I had the same issue on the i9305....thought i m not even on a 3g network...its a pain why samsung is always trying to making things more difficult in their products. S2 had fastdormancy but you could toggle it off in the *#9900* menu but S3 does not. Anyway i fixed my issue that cause a massive drain too, but let me say that fast dormancy and mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock are different. once i fixed the fastdormancy i got this one to worry about. i suggest you go over to youtube and search in the field : "fastdormancy erica griffin"....she has about a 10min video that explains the fastdormancy in the first 5 mins and how to check if ur service provider has it on your network and how to turn it off....that did the trick for me
Heads up: shes using a i9300 but the same thing goes for the i9305 (yes including the app in the google store that you'll have to download by the name fastdormancy i9300 toggle switch--->works just fine on my i9305!) and youll have to be rooted first....
FYI theres another tutorial how to turn it off but that involves tasker and is best left to the developers (i didnt understand one bit of that coding so i suggest you stick to erica's video. shes done a great job...)

I still don't understand how to fix since you said its not related to fast dormancy

Hi. I replied to another thread regarding this issue, but I have the same problems and I can share my thoughts on the matter here.
From what I understand (and read from another forum - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23643509), mdm_hsic_pm0 is to do with your phone monitoring network traffic. In this sense, it could very well be related to FastDormancy.
Through my experience with the problem (which is about a month of use now), I've found that restarting your phone fixes the problem until something unknown sets it off again. After a restart, my phone will sit on ~2% - 3% usage per hour and then once this problem starts, my phone doesn't seem to enter sleep. No idea why.
I was able to remedy a big part of the problem by installing Greenify and having it hibernate apps like, Google+, Facebook and WhatsApp. No solution though.

From my experience apps have nothing to do with it, I tested with a clean install, not even google account set! Those wakelocks are still happening on 3G, but not on Wi-Fi. I'm trying a stock rom now to see what changed... the situation is just horrible, I have "android system" using more power than "screen". On my S4 on a 3h screen and all day usage on 3g "android system" is at the bottom

Never found a solution in the end. Tried everything, wiped and started again.... Deleted all apps... Etc etc. Switched to the rextreme ROM and the problem has completely disappeared. Battery performance is now amazing. Still a shame though as I use cm on a few other devices without any issue. Rextreme is good but not as good as stock jelly bean.
If anyone every finds a solution, post it in here so I can find it and switch back

I found that by editing the build.prop file in system with a manual command worked for me.
Not my own idea, but by putting the code ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 at the end of build.prop worked.
Seems to work fine on all 4.2.2 aosp ROMs I've tried.
Just save it and reboot. Root explorer works fine for this task.

[Q] I need help establishing a wakelock please?

Hello all. I am writing about my wife's Note1 (N7000, 16Gb).
The phone functions just fine except for one thing. At about 50% battery, it will just go to deep sleep and will require a long press power to wake up. Happens with any battery and have tried a few different ROMs (custom and stock). A SECOND Note we have (my sister's; I have a Note2) doesnt do any of this with same batteries and same ROMs, so does seem to be weirdness with this one.
I DO have a solution which has been proven to work with a scientific cause/effect relationship:
I installed THIS app from the PlayStore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
Now I dont fully understand wakelocks, but I reckoned the CPU was going into deep sleep so I set the wakelock to be FULL (see screenshot 1). This 100% solves the problem and the phone is fully normal now, and my wife says she cant tell any loss of battery life.
SO....
Looking to do one of two things:
1. is there a way we can have this app AUTORUN on boot cos she keeps forgetting to run it when she swaps battery (which is once a day cos she is heavy outside house user) and then wakelock not running then phone sleeps! DOH! If autoruns, then she can at least SEE the wakelock screen and press the lock to be active (we are still testing how LOW a wakelock can we get away with but for now using 7)
2. even better, is there a KERNEL I can flash her to that will give me same functionality so she never even needs the app? Something where I can set a minimum CPU level in a similar fashion and it is now a set-it-and-forget-it even surviving a reboot?
See pic2 for the stock ROM she is on now and is great. Given that phone is otherwise fabulous and all else is stable and functional, I would like to keep to this ROM if at all possible so as not to introduce new weirdness. Also, given that this is such an easy software fix, I am not looking to hardware repair the phone as just want to fix this and get on with life.
Hope this is enough info for an informative and educational discussion and looking forward to some good advice.
Thanks to all, and kind regards,
Asif

So are you wanting to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep?

Correct, yes. Need to stop the phone from sleeping so deeply that it is effecttively off now as wife misses critical reminder alarms, as well as phone calls etc. As it is (without the wakelock) the phone is pretty useless. WAS actually my sister's but had to swap and now SHE has the wife's old one. Sister is a surgeon and when phone was deeply asleep, hospital could never contact her so not good. So swapped and sister has wife's good one so that is off my back. Wife's (sister's old one) is here and easier to test out as sister lives in England and I am in Glasgow. Easier to take dodgy one and work on it here.
So need phone to remain functional until such time as battery is dead, like you would expect any normal phone to do.
So need wakelock to remain in force as described above, as WITH the wakelock active, the phone is perfect.
Thanks.

Is the phone rooted?
If so you could flash this mod i made. It prevents deepsleep.

Looks like the kind of thing I need, thanks.
Was very much not keen on switching ROMs tho as this one just working perfectly, and we all know that every ROM has it's quirks. Didnt want more headaches with the wife giving me daily anecdotes of weirdness!
What do you reckon would happen if I were to try flashing this on LSO ROM? I suppose the worst thing is a bork and then I just wipe and reflash LSO fresh? Is this just a typical CWM zip?
Or is there anything just like this (kernel or mod) that could be flashed on LSO?
Appreciate your time and help so far.

The mod is in the androidpolicy.jar so i doubr it will work. Worth a try as long as you backup first

Bump.
Any other ideas before I try the above?
Thanks.

Just a follow up if anyone is following this.
I DID flash the LSZ ROM and the zip patch and phone still died that night and failed to ring the morning's wake up alarm. To be honest, I am not sure what is going on with it. I have done a 'deep clean' (actually too much and I bricked it and then recovered it! Code Brown!!) and now flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 to try something totally different and get away from a Sammy based ROM.
We shall see by tomorrow if phone can sleep at night without going into a coma, and then wife's wake up alarm can still ring.
If not then I think it is time for a service.
But wanted to come back on here and thank you for your time and efforts anway.
Kind regards.

You probably have a rogue app. Search, this has been asked a lot. Install Gsam or better battery stats or wakelock detector. Make sure you also install it as a system app if you're running kitkat.

Tnx for ur reaction

Yes, I meansan app that stops your phone from sleeping.
Installing as a system app... It'll probably ask you, or it's in the settings. You'll figure it out if you try.

Is this normal?

Hello!
I recently purchased a note 5, and I lose about 15% overnight, if my Wi-Fi/3G is switched on, and around 10% if all data is switched off. Please check the attached picture and tell me if there's anything abnormal. Thanks!

Nope it is not normal. I have the same exact issue after the AOJ5 update and it is driving me crazy. On N920c if i leave the phone overnight I'll wake up to a dead device. I have posted about it on samsung developers too which got ignored. Flashed another kernel and checked the wakelocks and it seems like its an issue with the wifi. Something has to do with wlan_rx_wake. I really don't know what else to do.

Have you tried a factory reset and building your apps up slowly to see if there's an issue with one of them. Also, Better Battery Stats is very good at identifying what is keeping your device awake. My recollection is that that wakelock comes from a data request.
Also, perhaps worth trying to see whether you get the same behaviour with wifi off?

I have done factory resets maybe already 10 times. Nothing changes. I have even tested out with no 3rd party apps installed everything stock. The drain is still there.

Right now I have the arter97 kernel and it doesn't help the drain at all. The same issue continues. But I noticed that on some wifi networks the drain is worse than on others. A temporary solution is to keep the wifi off during sleep and turn off the phone at nights. I'll try to get some screenshots of the wakelock detector and better battery stats later.

I can confirm that putting the phone on airplane mode solves the drain issue.

@Octa_core did you try installing the debloated stock Rom?

Well, my rom is pretty much debloated. Just clean stock samsung rom without any carrier bloat. I did purchase the package disabler pro at some point and disabled all the unnecessary stuff. Still no luck. I wrote samsung a feedback on their website. Try also leaving a feedback about the issue if you can. On the samsung support website on top right corner look for "feedback". Then select technical issue and describe the problem. I guess only samsung can fix what they have broken.

As you're rooted why not try a custom ROM - at least then you have a controlled environment. I am on Dr Ketan's L5 with his modified stock N920C kernel and it's great. If you still have the drain with no apps and no bloat installed on that ROM you have a fault.

[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

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...

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?
