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 was thinking of a factory reset. Will it erase my internal sd, as well?

What about flashing a new kernel?

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.

Hey I hope one of you guys can help me.
I have a galaxy s running cm10 and I have had this persistent problem with my phone turning off automatically.
When I use it, I press the side button to turn off the screen and it is fine for a minute or so, but if I leave it any longer than that it turns off.
I have heard of something called Deep Sleep, is this the problem?
Is there a way to change how long it has to be locked to go into deep sleep?
Please help
I am losing hope
Cheers

Sounds interesting i know this from the first custom roms i tried a year ago!
Which build of cm10 are you using? Any "faulty" app installed? for me dropbox made cm10 instable and laggy, so i stopped using it.
Have you checked the md5-sum of the .zip file of your downloaded rom? Maybe the download was faulty... Happened to me twice on cm-nightlies.
Cheers
EDIT: Which kernel are you using? For me Stock-Kernel ist aboslutely rocksolid! My phone had 140 hours ontime this morning, before i flashed the newest build.
Hi,
Is you IMEI ok ? I had this problem with CM10 too but now my IMEI is ok I have no pb at all
have you overclocked your phone? i had the same thing happening with other roms...as soon as i had overclocked and turned the screen off, my phone got stuck after a while. try cleaning nstools settings. if that doesn't work, you might try turning off deep idle if it's active, could also be the reason

Okay, let's start from the beginning :silly:
Whats the exact name of the rom you flashed?
How do you flashed it? (Wipe, etc.)
Have you flashed any other stuff? (Inverted Gapps, Battery mod, Kernel, etc.)
Have you many apps installed?
If i where you, i would flash the newest build with a full wipe, so you got a new, bugfree and stable system
same issue
I have been having the same issue ever since switching to CM10, I have been installing nightlies hoping it will end, but appears to be isolated. Would it help to manually flash boot for each ROM? It cuts off randomly and won't turn on unless charged by a wall charger, or other high-power input (doesn't turn on or charge from car outlet). It doesn't appear to be caused by an app.
Did you wipe when installing nightlies?
If you try to go stock with Odin, and the issue is exactly the same, I think you should consider it could be battery malfunction.

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.
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.
Hi,

I'm completely clueless regarding all this. I want to know what should I do next? I want to improve my phone's battery life and work on other features. How do I do it? This is the first time I rooted my phone. I have zero knowledge regarding this.
Please help me in improving my battery's life and let me know what should be my next step. Would be highly grateful if someone guides me.

You will have a glorious day experiencing new stuff if you search through Google. But no worries I will give you some head start suggestions.
I recommend Xposed Framework to be installed on your phone. Learn about it here. With it you can now modify your ROM to be as best as possible as per to your need. Some module recommendations, you can use GravityBox to modify some nice visual appearances on your ROM. You might also use GEM Xperia Xposed to advancedly modify your Xperia home screen. You will also find YourTube interesting as it allows you to change how the YouTube app behaves.
Battery saving is a lot better with Xposed installed. By using Greenify you can hibernate RAM hogging plus battery killing app. Also with Amplify you can drastically reduce battery draining caused by Google services.
Last but not least, you may also experience the bigger picture, by installing recovery and flash a new ROM on your phone (but this is a practise that requires accuracy when doing it). Think about KitKat, you can have it on your phone by selecting one of many wonderful ROMs built by wonderful Xperia SP developers.
I hope you can get some pictures with this post.
ROM = Firmware = Operating System
Flash = Push files into the higher level file system
Hi!
Thanks a lot for taking out time and replying to my query. So you're saying that I should first install Xposed Framework? I don't want any fancy looking theme or design for my SP. I just want a simple layout. My only concern is to improve my battery's life. Nothing else
So should I only install Xposed Framework and then install Amplify? Will this much do?
Thanks a lot once again!
Hi again,
I installed Xpose Framework successfully and Amplify. I even bought Amplify pro version. I don't think my battery life has improved. I guess the battery is discharging faster than it used to. Can you please guide me in helping this problem? Without WiFi, I love 1% charge in 5 minutes that too in flight mode. If I go through the menu for some time, I lose battery.
I successfully rooted, installed Xpose and Amplify. Please help me!
Thanks!

Installing it only without customising won't help! Take your time to learn the app. Additionally, Amplify doesnt drain more battery on my device. Perhaps something else is? Amplify does not do anything if you haven't modify anything, plus, even if it runs, it uses the system process, which extremely cut-down battery sucking that normally happen with solo processes.
Hey,
Thanks a lot for replying! How do I know which services/alarm to stop in Amplify?
I read few queries in some forums regarding the battery problem and most of the people suggested to upgrade the kernel or something of that sort. Can you please let me know if I should tune my kernel to improve my battery's life and if yes, how should I go about it?

You don't "stop" them but you "limit" them. The two terms are very different. I am using a different ROM so I cannot suggest a common things for my ROM, but these are standard among devices as they are included with play services:
Wakelocks
NlpWakeLock
SyncLoopWakeLock
NlpCollectorWakeLock
Alarms
com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR
com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_ACTIVITY_DETECTION
Services
This feature is new, and there's currently no known safe services to be limited with Amplify

Sorry since you're using stock ROM, kernel modifications are way too limited.
Hello again,
Thank you so much once again for replying. Ok, I get it.
So if I change my stock ROM to some other ROM, will I be able to modify the kernel then? Can you tell me if I should change my ROM..if yes, then can you suggest me how I do it?
You're awesome! God bless you
Ok, this is really annoying. My battery is creating problem for me. I fully charged my phone, and it's been almost 5 hours and I have lost 5% charge that too in flight mode with almost all the services turned off. The display was turned on for 10 minutes only. That's it. Can you please help me in solving this problem?
I have read almost everywhere where people keep their phones in flight mode and they don't even lose 1% after 8-10 hours.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks However, this is not an easy process. You should know too that risk of your phone being damaged is quite moderate when performing these tasks. I can't tell you if you should, as it should be completely based on your requirements only. Decide for yourself and try the ROMs for yourself. I may guide you, but this will give you plenty of new questions. And since you are new to android, there are many things that are unknown to you. But these things are well documented / answered if you use the search feature of the forum and Google. Only ask for something that is unique enough.

My cell stays in flight mode and I don't even use it. I lose 1% every hour even if my phone enters into deep sleep with only 1% awake time. What is wrong?
I might take my phone to the Sony service centre for a check up. Can you please tell me how do I unroot my phone? I used Towelroot to root my phone and then installed Xposed Framework. How do I make it go back to the original state?

To uninstall Xposed, open the Xposed Installer, select "Framework" and then hit the "Uninstall" button. What root application did you installed? Is it SuperSU? If so, you can easily unroot it by searching through its settings.. I am sorry I can't pinpoint to the exact location.

The battery drain your getting is probably due to alarm service/google play services/android os. I have the same issue, stock .205 clean and rooted, whenever the alarm is on I get horrible battery drain what makes it worse is that the android os uses excess mobile data which causes the battery drain. I think the alarm has something to do with google play services. There is no problem when the alarm is off, but I need it so cannot turn it off.
It is a very annoying issue that I haven't been able to fix, these running services prevent the device from going into deep sleep hence the battery drain, I typically lose between 23%-30% over night at a rate of ~3% per hour. :crying:
This probably doesn't help your situation but at least your not the only one.
Thanks a lot for replying. Thank you Shin; but my Xperia SP enters into deep sleep mode 99%.
I'm extremely irritated now! I changed my phone and got a new one but still there is battery drain. I rooted it, installed Xposed Framework, installed Greenify (Donation), disabled almost all the useless services yet I lose almost 2% charge every hour that too in flight mode without even touching my phone!
What is wrong with Xperia SP? Can anyone please help me in solving this problem? Please?

Bro, there is nothing wrong with the phone, as I said above it is to do with the software, from my experience the stock based eXistenZ ROM does not have battery drain but still has **** RAM, you might want to give it a try.
Hi,
Thanks for replying! Can you please tell me how do I install it? I have no idea how to do it. What about the RAM problem? Will it slow down my phone?
Thanks!

Here is the thread. Installing is easy, use the locked bootloader version, instructions are provided. In the instructions it says you should be on the 4.1.2 firmware but being on the latest 4.3 firmware is ok. To put it simply all you need to do is download the ROM, root your device (towel root), install superuser (apk), install cwm recovery via windows, flash ROM. If you need more help get back to me.
As for the RAM, it is still a problem even on eXistenZ, I believe it affects all stock ROM/kernel variants. From my experience the device still runs smoothly it is just that there is less free RAM available so the home launcher commonly closes when heavy apps/several apps are opened but it then reopens when returned to.
Here are some links...

Hello my Note 4 is randomly rebooting all the time (it occurs randomly) and is slow (sometimes) when I use apps like messages, browsing the web etc...
I'm on the 6.0.1 marshmallow
I installed the clean master and battery saver apps and things were alittle better but it still is slow and restarts plus those apps are filled with spam and virus links so they will be deleted.
What are my options here to get this note running like new again?

First of all you delete apps like clean master and battery saver cuz this app killing your processor ram and battery .android 6.0 is very well optimized and it can handle everything without any 3rd party app. Just make factory reset,disable apps you dont use ,do not install junk or ram cleaning apps or even battery saving apps,android Marshmallow allready has doze feature that save battery while you are not using phone and goes to deep sleep. go to settings/battery/detail and you will see all apps are in doze.

Any answers on the gentleman's inquiry though? I have a T-mobile Galaxy Note 4, and after having the phone for 1 year and a half, all of a sudden it started acting up last Thursday while I was running my stock 5.0.1, I had it rooted and TWRP on it since I bought it. The phone was a GREAT acquisition and I've always been an Android guy and started to learn about flashing, rooting and XDA since I had my S, S2. I thought that by simply upgrading my 910T to the new MM 6.0.1 everything was going to be taken care of and fixed, but boy was I so wrong.
Could you shed some light on this issue on this great phone?

I think he answered pretty well. You should understand that these phones are, in essence, small computers. And like a computer, the phones will become fragmented and bog down overtime. The solution is a complete format of internal storage; wipe everything, format, cache and start from scratch. Odin is the best option so learn to use it if you haven't already.

Thanks for your reply, however I asked the question to the gentleman as he only said to remove all of those junk third party apps as they were more harmful than anything else. I appreciate the lecture on what constitutes a phone, but I am very aware of it as well as being comfortable of the use of Odin and the rest of the steps. I have already done all that you suggested and the issues still occur after a week. Once again, I appreciate your reply.

No problem. Response was not only intended for you but other members as well since you aren't the only one having performance issues. Only suggestions, you can take or leave whatever you'd like but you might get better results if you try harder to be a nice person.

True! I stand corrected sir. I appreciate your assistance.
Hey guys, so today I tried a different battery cause my was bad and overheating and I can tell this one is good because it also is charging faster than before.
Now I did delete those apps clean master and battery saver like I said I would but I'm still getting random rebooting and slowness, one example would be I was typing a text and the phone took awhile to catch up to my typing and suddenly it restarted itself.
I'm not rooted and my rom is stock. Noticed today that my water indicator underneath the battery has triggered.
So I'm still looking for options...let me know, thanks.
