Galaxy note wakelock issues 1.GPS 2.Fuel_Alerted.

I've been struggling with some wakelock issues that can really drain the battery on the Galaxy note. These can ONLY be seen in Better battery stats, and checking the CPU usage in CPU Spy.
One is the GPS wakelock.
This pops up quite randomly. But most likely after some App has attempted to use the GPS and it's switched off from the toggle switches. I've noticed it sometimes after the Google website on the browser tries to fix my location for local search.
The other is Fuel_Alerted.
This does not come too often, but at about the time the wakelock began, I noticed a slight spike (1 percent rise) in battery levels (from 10 to 11%) as is reported by the standard battery consumption graph. It might be related to it. But since I'm a NOOB, I have no idea.
It would be great if others facing the same issue add to this thread. I've already seen this being reported elsewhere, but no solution has been posted other than restarting the phone to temporarily get rid of the problem.
Something is definitely amiss. Let's try and get to the bottom of this.

I fixed fuel alerted by removing battery for a few minutes. Didn't get it anymore after that.

The only fix for that GPS bug I've found is to power off the phone for 1min, just rebooting wont help.. Not sure what triggers it since I dont use GPS.

You'll see from the screen captures that the GPS wakelock sorted itself out in about 2 hours.
Where did it come from? Where did it go? Using the system monitor app there is no obvious correlation between the wakelock and any other app. The GPS is just on all by itself.

Yes, I removed it altogether.
I think the problem is that SOMETIMES, a GPS lock fails, and the GPS gets stuck. Facebook app was probably trying to get a location fix too often. Though I think I did turn that off in the settings.
I've just flashed the FM kernel. And so far there are no wakelocks. (1 day)
I'll post if anything changes.

GPS wakelock just reared it's ugly head. I'm using FM kernel.
I've also noticed that if the GPS wakelock is present, and then I turn on some app like google maps, that app is unable to use the GPS based location service. Until I quit the app and try again. This I've guessed from the little location icon that shows in the notification bar. So, it really is like the GPS service is "stuck". Does anyone know how we verify this.?
Some genius developer needs to take up this cause.
Maybe one out give attempts to get a GPS fix results in a wakelock that doesn't go away.

Someone over at Cyanogen has discovered the problem and a fix for it. Except I have no idea what he's done.
Could a Kernel developer take a look at this. I think this might be a common problem.

CM7 and lag immediately before an outgoing call

When i make a call (with 3G active and connected) the phone lag for 1 minute and then starts the call.
With 3G closed and WiFi active the call starts immediately.
Can anyone help me?
Milestone 1 with CM7
Compache off No Swap Partition

I have the same issue here. It's not 1 minute for me (about 20 seconds at max) but happens 70% of the time.
I'm almost always starting the call from Favorites tab on Contacts/Phone, through the little phone icon on the right, and I can see it's hanging again when I press and it won't activate/press the button. Then after the hang time it starts 2 calls - one in backgorund (which is actively using the phone and calling) and one at screen, which fires the "error" dialog "Call not Send. [OK]" since the line is busy by backgoound call. Oh well, annoying =\
I can do any tests if anyone is interested, but I'll probably change the ROM in a few days because it's kinda stressing already.

With WiFi only i don't have any lag...

Even i do have same problem, most of the time, i will be enabled 2G connection, it simply takes huge time to display.

I think that the problem is related to the Facebook App.
Now without this app the phone works great.
Now I use m.facebook.com with opera.

Xperia Z1 issues

Guys I recently got my Xperia Z1. And constantly I am facing issues in my Z1. Here are the issues that i am facing along with the pictures.
1. In one week I have faced this issue twice. The issue is that suddenly all the signals disappear ( I am using BSNL sim ). And when I try to register it on network an error message comes that cannot register on network. Make sure your SIM card is inserted or selected network is available. So is this issue with the SIM card or the phone? The first time when I faced this issue I manually registered it on network and it worked. But second time when I tried to register my SIM manually nothing happened. So I had to restart the phone. And the issue seems to have disappeared.

}
2. I faced this issue yesterday. When I tried opening the camera app (default app) this message popped up. I tried reopening it many times but no success. Only after restarting the mobile I was able to open the camera app successfully.
3. This issue also happened yesterday. I was playing a not so graphic intensive game. Played the game for around 10 min or so. Then I stopped playing it. I checked CPU-Z, about 5 minutes after stopping, for battery and other information and noticed it is showing battery health as overheat. I checked this coz my phone gets quite hot if I play game for sometime. Is it normal for a mobile to get overheated just by playing a simple game for 10 mins?
4. Today I noticed that there is a slight yellow hue present when screen brightness is minimum. I compared it with my Nexus 4, this too with minimum brightness, and the difference was quite evident that there is a yellow tinge. Maybe it is not evident in the pic I am attaching but it is quite noticeable in reality. So wanted to ask whether there is really an issue or not.
Hoping to get my doubts cleared as I never faced such issue in a week old mobile.
Thank you

Are you on a rooted phone using a custom rom?

No I am not rooted. I am on stock ROM.

I suggest you to reflash your phone with Sony Update Service, that will fully reinstall your Stock ROM, save anything u need because that will wipe all of your datas.

Note 3 on Android 4.3 won't enter deep sleep!

Odd bug I found on my note 3 is that the phone will sit at 300 Mhz with the screen off all day without entering deep sleep
It will only do this on WiFi though as soon as I turn it off Deep Sleep will function as it should.
I have the NB4 firmware and Bootloader, Android 4.3.
I am rooted and I have Xposed Firmware installed, anyone else have this issue?

Install wakelock detector.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
It will tell you what's waking your device. But I'm going to guess you have location services on.

I have the exact same problem. It's a month now and I didn't change my wifi router or anything.
There are no apps directly causing this. I will inspect kernel wakelocks and report back. But I bet that some app is doind something that causes "android system" to wakelock the cpu. I have many apps so it will be very hard since none of them have any battery drain out of the normal usage.

Turn off "Always allow scanning" in wifi. (Menu/Advanced.) Scanning wakes the phone, and the normal scan interval is 5 minutes. (It'll still be scanning when you're in the page showing the available connections. You are in there to look for a connection, right? No one would ever be in there for any other reason. (No, Bill Gates didn't say that no one will ever need more than 640K of memory.) IOW, it's going to scan whether you need it to or not if you're on that page, but it stops as soon as you close the page. (Even though there's a Scan Now button. Come on, Google - next time, try thinking. Just a little.)

Hmm nope.. I think something else was corrupted somewhere.
I tried this:
Code:
adb shell pm clear com.android.providers.settings
adb reboot
After setting the main settings again, the phone is now much faster and as of now the problem didn't show up.
I'll keep you posted if it happens again. If not, this could help many many people.

Confirmed: the problem was totally solved.
I suggest anyone with the same problem to give this a try and do not restore the main settings from a backup.. but just set again the home and lockscreen or any of the main settings you need.
I think something gets messed up with intensive use or tests. This apparently cleans it.

A friend of mine had his Note3 very slow and draining battery very quickly after the last OTA update. With my "method" his note3 is now back to normal.

I had the same problem, the phone was at 300 Mhz with the screen off all day without entering deep sleep mode.
All I did was changing the wallpaper to the default one !!!!
Ploblem solved.
Very strange ....
I tried it 3-4 times (switching wallpapers from default to another one downloaded from the internet) to make sure that this was the problem.
At all times the problem came back and disappearing.
Note3 n9005, stock android 4.3, No Root.
Thanks Zibri !!!
ps
How can I try this without root ?
Code:
adb shell pm clear com.android.providers.settings
adb reboot

[Q] Turning screen off interrupts audio streaming

Hello all,
This phone has been great EXCEPT for this one thing -- when I am streaming audio from TuneIn or XiiaLive and turn the screen off, the connection CONSTANTLY drops out, and takes forever to buffer before playing again. If I turn the screen back on, the app starts buffering again immediately and quickly finishes.
This does not happen with Google Music, and it happens whether I'm streaming on Wi-Fi or LTE. I've tried turning off Low Power Audio via a build.prop change from the Viper Audio app, I've tried turning on CPU High Performance.. but nothing seems to make any difference. It's like data communications just stop for a bit for no reason when the screen's off.
I'm running the latest stock ROM.
I can't be the only one running into this. Anybody have any luck fixing this?

So by high cpu performance I assume you aren't in power save at all right? This comes to mind.

I was referring to the "High Performance" mode or whatever in the Developer Options.
I didn't recognize the screen you posted, and it turns out Power Save mode is disabled on Verizon phones. So I don't even have that.

Ok, I'm on AT&T so mine is different then. For the heck of it (I know you said it happens on both mobile and wifi) can you check your settings on Settings>Wi-Fi>Advanced Menu and then look for and try disabling Wi-Fi optimization if present, and enable Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep (Always).
Maybe it won't help at all, or maybe you already have them configured that way. Just throwing ideas out there for what it could be.

I appreciate your suggestion. I'll have to give it a shot later, although I'm not terribly optimistic.
I'm streaming XiiaLive as I'm typing this, and I hear the disconnect sound basically every 20 seconds. If I turn the screen on, it stops doing this.
