Could someone please tell me what Event3, 4 and 5 are? Those are keeping my phone from going to deepsleep. Everything was fine until january when I took a train, during the ride the battery got hot, I ahd the phone charged overnight to make sure I had a good battery all day long. Well the battery drained like crazy that day and before I got home the battery was down to 0 in less than 12 hours. From that day on, the battery was never the same. I usually don't go online or do much, just using it to make a phone call, sms and mms. Not a gmaer or big internet user. The phone is rooted, I used to get 3-4 days out of it, before a recharge was necessary, now I'm down to half a day, 12 hours. I even disconnected the phone (yes took it apart). No change. Those 3 events and then mid_pmu are on the top of the list from wakelock detector.
Please help!?
I don't know about those events. But maybe a cache clean or even a reflash could work?

No cache cleaning does not help. And I want to stay away from reflashing.

I would just backup everything and reflash. But if i don't want to try that i don't know. Maybe look up on the internet what those things do. Or even have a look at the kernel source and see if u can find those events.

well, that's the problem, can't find anything on the web, except one post where one thought it's wifi related. apparently google new trick is that even with wifi turned off they search for wifi to track down your location when gps and wifi is turned off! disabled receivers, used system tuner, better battery stats, wakelock detector, whatever one can think of, still, whatever i do, event 3, 4 and 5 come back to the top of the list. i used to get 3 to 4 days on one charge, now using the phone has become a joke and a drag.

The event*'s are input events. u can find them under /dev/input/event*. When u execute the command getevent from terminal u get the input devices corresponding to the number. The XXX is the PID of the proces. By using ps in terminal u can get the pid of all processes and then determine the process that causes the battery wake on what input. So from there on u can investigate further. Find out what inputs are used the most en which process is using that input. Maybe u can shut down some and see what happens
I'm lost, with getevent i get a looong list.
event 3 msic_power_btn
event 4 gpio-keys
event 5 medfield_audio intel(R) Mid Audio Jack
what are the numbers(?) afters dev/input/event6::
dev/input/event6: 0003 0036 00001f2
I think I found something that doesn't belong on the phone.
Found a file/folder that keeps coming back even after deleted titled "logger" inside that folder is another folder titled "hmon" (host monitor???) spyware? the logs show all of my files, and activities. what the!

hmon can also stand for 'hardware monitor' and that is an essential part of the android system.
About the numbers: 0003 0036 00001f2. The first or second number should be the PID (proces id) that's calling the event. If u can find out what proces is using what event u maybe can disable something. Within terminal u can use the command 'ps' to get all processes with there pid shown. Compare the and find the proces that is causing all those problems.
Ok, i found that wakelock event3, 4, and 5 all have a number 358 behind them in wakelock detector. that number was found in the text files of the logger! !! 358 keeps checking for battery level in insane amounts! the text files are full of battery level and those numbers. i have 3 xt890's all are rooted the same way, have the same apps. all of them have a file logger, but only one phone goes crazy with that hmon file and continously saving text files in the folder logger. the file can be found after a restart in the internal memory and also on the external sd card. on the external sd card, lost.dir and logger folders pop up. if i delete the logger, it will come back after a while doing it's thing. so somehow the battery drain, the wakelocks are related to root, the logger and the constant "logging" of events....

I have tried searching the forums but have found nothing yet, so I was hoping someone could help me. I am currently using Enomther's rom, but this has happened on every rom I've tried (Desire, Cyan, etc.). My problem is the Nexus One is running 100% of the time. In comparison, the screen was on for 5.2% of the time. And I have definitely noticed the battery. Even if in standby, it loses 10-20% battery an hour. By the time I make it home from school, I have about 20% battery left, with almost no usage whatsoever. I've checked to see if it's any apps that won't close, but my highest used app was only a few minutes according to spare parts. Cpu usuage is barely visible as well in spare parts.

Looks like an application is holding the wake lock. Instant Messengers are good candidates for draining the battery. In my experience, Meebo loses connection frequently, and eBuddy has a mode to keep the connection, but it drains the battery very fast (AFAIR it has a mode that's easier on the battery by checking for messages every 15 minutes, but that's not all that instant anymore).
Good job you have AnyCut installed.
Use it to place a shortcut to the 'Testing' app (or dial *#*#4636#*#*), and use that to look at your battery history.
This will be able to confirim if your N1 is indeed staying awake, and if you use the 'partial wake usage' drop down box, it will tell you what's keeping it that way.
For partial wake usage, the only thing that pops out Android System which has a full bar. Nothing else is above a sliver.
Since you have titanium backup, why not make a backup, completely wipe your phone, and see if the problem persists? Then, add components at a time and see when the problem reappears. ie ROM -> a few apps -> a few apps -> etc. This will narrow down your search and hopefully pinpoint the problem.
You also might wanna look at logcat (e.g. via aLogCat), sometimes there are a lot of messages of runaway applications.
Here's my logcat

No spare parts?
Downlaod it and try setting the end button behavious to go to sleep.
Seems like an obvious thing, but its worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.

Yep, of course I have spare parts. I set that, but what exactly is the end button?
Edit* I've uninstalled every app on my phone, and yet the problem still persists. Running 100% of the time. What the heck is wrong with my phone?

I think your best bet us to just wipe everything, and reinstall the rom. That should get things going smoothly.
do you have trackball succession mod? that may be the reason.

No, but I did have trackball wake enabled. Would that matter? Also, I've installed Cyan and the problem seems to be gone, although battery still isn't great :/
I would figure that trackball wake will keep waking your phone when you accidentally hit the trackball when the phone is in your pocket or bags?

One thing to check that I've run in to twice (unfortunately) is constant "syncing" of email. I only noticed it because the email app constantly showed the syncing circle (not in the notification bar, in the app). Clearning the storage/settings for email cleared it up, but it took a few days to find out what was causing it to never sleep.

Yes but my phones running 100% of the time and my screens running 1/20 of that time. Surely my screen on time would increase as well? As well I'm sitting in class half the day and know for sure that I'm not hitting the trackball.

Thanks, I'm going to look into this. Would this correspond to UID 10014 or Media having extremely high network usage as well? I just noticed these two things constantly have full network usage bars but don't know exactly what either are. How would I clear the settings/storage? I'm using a Desire Rom now if it matters.
Does anybody know what UID 10050 is and how to (if it's possible) get rid of it? It's causing a partial wake lock on my phone and draining the battery pretty good. I've never seen it before, but it's at the top of the list for partial wake lock usage.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, but I need to retract. I am not actually having the UID 10050, I am seeing UID 1000 in Spare Parts.
Dumb follow up, in CM6 how do you determine awake time? In FreshHero and the Stock HTC ROM it was right there in About Phone as Awake Time, but now all I have is "Up Time", which I assume is the same, in which case my phone is not sleeping, which is a typical issue and I won't even go there
if you click on it, it'll tell you the packages that share that uid.

I'm using spare parts too. I don't know how to find out about awake time. But if you click on it in spare parts, it tells how long that particular thing has been keeping a wake long on your phone.

when I click on it it just says UID 10050 Total Time: 30 minutes and 30 seconds.

Ok. I uninstalled Angry Birds Lite Beta, and it seems to have fixed the problem.
I typed UID 10050 into google and searched a little harder, and found someone's logcat of them launching angry birds and it had the uid reference in it. So...I uninstalled, booted into recovery..."fixed UID mismatches", and then wiped dalvik. Seems to have solved the problem, at least temporarily. I'll report back later if anything changes for the worse.

I have the same thing come up in partial wake lock. The thing is, i don't even have angry birds downloaded nor have i ever. I've cleared dalvik a few times with no results.

When I turn off my phone because the memory gets real low even when i auto kill my apps or my phone simply dies due to low battery, i turn it on but somehow it resends a bunch of txts to my friends that i was txting with. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else and if there is a way to fix it? Thanks in advance
Which rom are you using?
I get what I call ghost notifications of text messages kind of the same way. I'll look at the message which clears the notification bar. When I turn off my phone at night and then back on in the morning I sometimes get a notification of the message I have all ready looked at. I think this was a problem in the international 2.2 roms hence the update to 2.2.1.
Oh, I'm using Cognition 4.1.1 ..... for now.
I am using the stock one. I haven't messed with the phone at all.
Oh ok thanks, to me it only happens when i turn it off it resends txts that i previously sent. It's kind of annoying not a big deal but gets old after a while. Thanks
I never had this problem with all ROMs I flashed. Or possibly I never noticed that happening. But I have to say that sometimes I still get double notifications for messages I have received previously after rebooting. personally I don't know why. I've tried cognition, phoenix, serendipity and now on firefly.

What do you mean by "I turn off my phone because the memory gets real low even when I auto kill my apps"? Are you checking how much ram is free and shutting your phone down because of that?

well when my phone gets to a certain point as far as RAM it will turn off on its own. kind of like it resets itself i guess or i will turn it off myself and turn it back on otherwise it will be really slow and that's when the resent text message thing happens.

That doesn't sound right at all.. Android is supposed to try to fill up the ram with the most recently used apps for quick access, but still manages a pool of free ram to keep things running smoothly. It should never get to a point where it "runs out" or shuts itself down, or even causes the phone to 'run slow'.
If you're running the stock official KB1 rom, then it's probably some app you're running that launches a very poorly coded service in the background that is eating all of your resources. You can try using a program called "Watchtower" that will tell you how much memory and cpu cycles each program is using to debug your situation, or simply uninstalling suspect apps until the situation improves.
Also, what batch is your phone from? You can find the build number under the battery, it's a four digit number like 1007, 1008, etc. Some of the earlier batches have a random shutdown problem affecting them (hardware defect), and if yours falls into the range of affected phones, you can go to an ATT store and they'll replace it with a new one.

Let me try the watchtower app first and I'll see if that helps me find the issue.

I don't know the specific range, but I remember hearing that if you bought your phone before Nov 2010, you were eligible for a replacement. I could be wrong though.. I think there's a thread about it in the general section.
Hello,
Here's too question : First, I've seen, in BetterBatteryStats i think, that you could see how long wifi has been on AND ALSO how long it was working (meaning receiving/sending). Cause the "wifi on" stat is always at 100% even though in advanced options i've set it to sleep after i put the device to sleep.
Second, at every boot in status bar i see "Currently checking media" but i don't understand that, since this is internal memory, and since the system has started already, why the hell it's doing this before loading everything? And also it takes at least 5-10seconds before it's starting doing it... All that take more than 20seconds...
Last thing, i saw in Android battery usage "Wifi sharing", what is that exactly?
Thanks!
In order:
The WiFi sleep seems to work intermittently. I stopped using that and use Llama to turn off my WiFi 1 minute after screen off. Tasker will be able to do this too, I believe. It works very well, and I can even set it not to turn off if certain apps are running, like Internet radio.
Media checking is something that happens. It is a good thing. It gets lists of all media files so you do not have to search when loading most apps. If charging while off, I normally leave the Note plugged in until all searches are done, and then another minute or two to reach 100% battery when I boot.
WiFi sharing is a leech on your battery, unless you happen to want to share your WiFi. It was one of the first items I blocked once I rooted the phone. You need Root to block, disable or remove this.
Thanks for all that, but there're things i don't get : 1/ Are you saying that "turn after screen's off option" is useless/defective? And why you tell me to use tasker (not free) if Llama (free) can do the job? 2/ Do not have to search what? And why telling you keep the note plugged 2min after Media Checking? 3/ Wifi Sharing app (the trouble maker) is not android tether function, right? If so, in which app does it share wifi? As said, i tried to freeze it with Titanium but it kept loading. I don't like Freeze with Anttek cause there's still an icon app in my Folder Organizer widget (which list all apps icon on a screen).
PS: I really wanna find back the app where was displyed the info i mentionned in 1st post (see when wifi's working and not just when it's on)
1. Yes, I think the WiFi sleep function is defective. Just my view. Llama does the job much better, which is why I suggest it. It does a great deal more too, which is also why I suggest it.
2. The media search operation is searching for all media. This is music, photos and videos (not sure what else, if anything). Once completed applications do not have to look at your SD card every time they open to search for media. This makes the apps faster and saves battery. Ignore the rest of what I said.
3. I do not know if WiFi sharing is the Tether function. It certainly seems like it could be. If it is frozen by Titanium it should not be starting. I have no idea why it does.
My widgets are very slow to update. It may take him a half hour or longer to update. I have checked battery optimization is not on for those apps, although one of those two apps that I have the problem with background data is grayed out. So I can't turn on allow background data. Not sure why that would be great out.
Any thoughts?
Wunderlist Task List.
DTG/GTD
But, I did some things poking around, don't remember for sure what all, but I had read that changing the Animation Scale etc to .5 would help. I did change that.
Before posting, I had found that Wunderlist was on battery optimization. Changing it didn't appear to help, so I posted. But now, it seems to be working. Maybe it's fixed. I'll post back in a day or two and indicate if it is still working or has stopped again.
Well, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that's the only change I made, and at that point it had started working.
Are you having same problem, albeit different widgets?
FYI... mine is now not working again. I'm not surprised. But am frustrated.
Update...
I am finding that it does eventually update. It feels like the phone has been taken over by something. But, then, other things don't seem slow.
I just installed Gsam battery monitor, and ran the ADB cmds to try to identify apps using battery. Maybe I'll find something using a lot of battery and hence cycles.
My battery does seem to be going down quite a bit faster than it should.
It cleared up for a while after a factory reset,But it's back, and, I find that notifications from Lightflow come in 30 minutes after recieved.
It's like the phone is operating in molasses.
I'm beginning to think this phone is crap. If I switch back to my old Mate 9 it works fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't seem to be having any luck with that. Had already done those.
But!! ...
I just found a post after doing a global search for another issue I am having that seems to coincide with the widget issues, which is, Play Store freezing during updates. The post was in a Xaiomi forum. He said that he found if he had blue tooth on, his play store would constantly freeze. He turned off BT, and rebooted, and it worked.
I just did the same thing...and it is working...both the play store, and widget updates.
Interesting to have the great feeling of success, along with the frustration of a new (newly realized) issue yet remaining (BT).
Looking for a little further and through the settings on Bluetooth, I turned off Bluetooth scan. Now at first I would still have problems with Bluetooth on even though Bluetooth to scan was off. That of course would be very quickly after turning it on or off at cetera.
so this morning I get up having left Bluetooth on all night, with scan off, and everything's working fine. I did find last night that when I would first turn Bluetooth on even with skin off, the problems would be there. But of course when you first turn Bluetooth on it's going to scan anyway.
so I will update this thread little later after I see a little more about weather. Just having scan off actually cures the problem, in case someone else runs into this and it helps them.
