Nightly used to sleep but doesn't anymore

Hey guys,
Did a search but didn't find an answer.
I'm running Nightly 102 and just recently I noticed that my NC's not going into deep sleep like it used to. I lost about 20% worth of battery with my NC "sleeping" for a couple of hours multiple times in the last few days. I'm pretty sure it used to sleep because I remember the screen would do that "shrink down to a single vertical line" animation before turning off. But now it's back to the screen just instantly going dark they way it did before the sleep issue was fixed.
I've also been getting the "Sleep of Death" once a day or so recently. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I just downloaded RC1 so maybe I'll try installing that and see if sleep comes back.

If you go to the spare parts app, look at battery history, change other usage tab to partial wake usage, and have a look there. That should show at least what is causing the problem.
Some of us were having an issue with the Google maps app, and more specifically the Latitude element and its interruption of sleep. If it is just sign out....it worked for me.
Sleep of death is another story that I can't help you with!
Hope this helps you

Thanks I'll check that out. I tried re-flashing 102 this morning but still no sleep.
EDIT: Just checked Spare Parts, but the only thing I see is 1m 15s under Android System and 32s under Google Services. Maps is at 0s.

I think your best bet is to flash that RC1 you dloaded or a latest nightly, alot of good things have changed since the nightly you are on.
Also (though I don't know how you flash) I got some great advice on flashing procedure to help getting a clean install of nightly, and I've been following this for a while now, it is
1. Back up ROM
2. Wipe cache
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash kernal
5. Flash GAPPS
6. Wipe dalvik cache
7. Clear battery stats
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot
That's what I do everytime via CWM. I also try to flash only on full charge. I don't know if you need to reflash GAPPS everytime but once I had some wifi issues and this fixed it
Anyway thought i wouLd pass this on

I just did all of this (except wiping data) and installed RC1 and it seems to be the same. I REALLY don't want to have to wipe the data. It would be a bummer to re-do all of my screens and widgets again. Is that step really that important?

Most things are fixed by wiping data/cache and even dalvik cache..
if you don't know already Titanium Backup can restore most widgets.
download TiBu
Backup your launcher + "Application Widgets"
Flash new ROM
Restore apps+data using TiBu
open your usual home application..
restore "Application Widgets"
reboot
and tada.
I'm not sure if those will work with paid widgets from LP+ though. Has worked for me amazingly on ADW.

somethings to check for with the lack of deep sleep:
1) live wallpaper. its not with all live wallpapers, just certain ones. if you are using a live wallpaper try using a non animated wallpaper.
2) wifi is off with screen.
3) in maps, log out of Latitude
I hope one of these will help.

Oh no major typo!
I actually don't wipe data every flash, only if I have a recurring issue.
Normally it is just cache that I wipe.(have edited post)
But if you have an issue sometimes its the only way. Follow suggestions above for backing up apps etc.
Its a good practice to backup ROMs when you have one working good so you can flash back if something goes wrong

be careful restoring apps + data.......only restore data where necessary.....sometimes restoring data from a particular app will bring the problem back.
Only restore data where absolutely needed like email, etc.

I did just recently start using Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper. You might be on to something.
I do have Google Maps, but I never use it. I clicked "Don't Accept" to the privacy policy on Latitude. So I don't think that was ever running.

I haven't personally had any problems either.....just alot around here use it as a golden rule

I've found that the "wifi off with screen" is what stops the SOD's for me... If I disable wifi-sleep, I get the SOD's multiple times a day. If I set wifi to turn off when screen turns off, I never get SOD...
Strange...
I never got SOD with old kernel, even when wifi is always on...

What do you use for a Wifi toggle? I have Juice Defender and it seems to work well when I get to work, (it turns WiFi on when I turn the screen on) but for some reason it doesn't seem to work so well when I get home.
Well I've been running RC1 for a few days and changed to a static background. I've been getting good battery life the last couple of days. I'll give it another day and then try using Live Wallpaper again and see if battery life suffers.

I'm just using the built-in wifi "sleep policy" setting (Settings->Wireless & Networks->WiFi Settings, then press MENU->Advanced->Wifi sleep policy).
With 7.0.3 Stable, I NEVER get SOD, regardless of wifi sleep policy.
With 7.0.3RC1, when I leave wifi sleep policy set to "Turn off with screen", the SOD's go away...
However, with the latest nightly, I get SOD regardless of wifi sleep setting!
Very frustrating!
Very strange issue - nobody can seem to nail this one down! I may end up back at 7.0.3 stable - I had ZERO SOD issues with that, regardless of the wifi sleep policy... Battery life wasn't as good, but I can live with that over the random SOD's...
It's got to be some strange combination of things with the new kernel I'm guessing...

Never knew about that setting. Thanks for the info. Hopefully Juice Defender and the built in WiFi sleep policy don't conflict with each other. We'll see.

Here is a few more details about my SOD issues... I've been changing one setting at a time to try and determine what is causing it. With the latest nighties, even with "wifi sleep policy" set to "never", I am not getting anymore SOD's (so far at least).
All that I did was to remove my Outlook email account from the built-in email app (still have Gmail configured via Gmail app though). Since removing my Outlook email account from Nook color, I haven't had any issues! I'll keep everyone updated...
Does anyone have an Exchange AND Gmail account configured but do NOT get the SOD???

Bummer. I changed back to Multi-Live wallpaper this morning and not only is it not sleeping, (down to 87% from 99% in about 3 hours with no use), but I got a SOD which I haven't had for a few days.
Guess I'll switch back to static wallpaper.

@darien87 - Just curious - do you have an exchange mailbox setup? What about a gmail account?

Well, I am thoroughly convinced now that setting up an Exchange push email account in the standard mail app was causing my SOD's. Haven't had a single issue since I removed the exchange account (left gmail account set up in gmail app though)...
Can anyone else attempt to validate this theory? Of course, it could be a combination of an exchange email account and something else as well... who knows - would love to get it resolved though!

Data connection issues: all hardware, no software......

OK, forget about everything below, and the silly poll....
I kept having issues, even after freezing the 2 apk's. I had my phone and SIM replaced day before yesterday. After I left the store, I had no 3g. None. I left about 6:00 pm, no internet whatsoever until 3:30 am.
I was extremely frustrated, to say the least. If anyone has data issues and hasn't tried this already, give it a shot and see if it works for you.
Shut your phone down, pull the battery and SD. Put firm pressure with your finger on the SIM and slide it in and out of its slot about 20 times. Remove it and look at the back. There should be 3 shiny lines across the sim where it makes contact with the terminals on the phone. Put the SIM back in firmly and reboot.
I don't know if there is a film on the SIM from manufacturing or if its slightly rough texture doesn't allow it to make good contact with the phone. All I know is after I did this, my 3g started working immediately. It hasn't quit once since.
I know, another one of these threads! I haven't read through all of them, I'm just posting my findings.
I have been plagued with disappearing data since day one. It has almost made me hate my bionic at times. Then the data comes back & I apologize for all the nasty things I said.
Anyway, I can say without a doubt that this issue is NOT caused by any 3rd party software. Not Juice Defender, not Lookout, none of them. I had been losing data for 2 days, so I thought I'd try a factory reset. I didn't install any apps for a few hours after the wipe, just to be sure it was the phone itself. It was. I lost data twice for a very long time each time. Reboots, battery pulls, airplane toggles, etc, did nothing. The only thing that brought back my data connection was time.
Fast-forward to last night. On a whim, I changed the data monitor to performance. Things started looking up, but I still lost data a couple times. Neither of which were for very long. I thought maybe if I disable the data monitor altogether, it would solve the problem. I used titanium backup to freeze Battery & data manager and Data manager service. Only one drop occurred after doing so, until I rebooted the phone. Since rebooting several hours ago, it hasn't happened once.
If you've been losing data, please try this and see if it works for you.

Where is the Data Monitor setting located?

Are you talking about "Battery & data manager" under "Settings"? If so, I only see an on off option for "Data Saver"?
Edit: Or do you mean the "Battery mode" with the following options?
"Maximum battery saver"
"Nighttime saver"
"Performance mode"
"Custom battery saver"

Here is how I fixed it with Tasker....
Display Off -> Wait 15 minutes -> Mobile Data Off.
Display On -> Mobile Data On.
Haven't had any problems like I did when I was using the built in battery profiles.
Also, I think your poll answers are poorly worded. You should change them. And where is the option for "I lose data with ANY profile". Thats what I experience

Yes, that's what I meant. I had already frozen it, so couldn't look to be sure what it said.

I was having data drops also. Turned off data saver, set battery mode to performance and haven't had a drop since.

Tried this and so far so good (all morning and not a single loss of data).
I'm not convinced yet, I still think this might be at least partially a software issue.
Prior I had been pulling the battery and toggling airplane mode.
Switching to battery 'performance' mode didn't help.
Have a 3G Network extender and poor LTE service at home, so it makes sense to force it to not use LTE, but that seems to be what started all the network issues.

Well it fixed it for a little while and then started doing the exact same thing.
Software issue?
Mike

Talked to two different Verizon tech support reps this morning. Confirmed software issue and a fix will be included in the "post launch software update" due early November.

So which is it...
1) - Software related and will be fixed with a future update?
2) - Internal Software which can be fixed by freezing some programs?
3) - Hardware issue that is fixed with removing/replacing with firm pressure on SIM?

[Q] Wifi & Mobile Data Issue (ICS)

Ever since upgrading to ATT ICS, my WiFi and Mobile Data connections both are turned on during the night. During the day, I don't run either. When I am at home, I use WiFi and then turn WiFi off and plug in the charger before I sleep. When I wake up in the morning, WiFi and Mobile Data are turned ON. This happens constantly for me.
The second thing I tried was not putting the phone on the charger for the night. Come the next morning, WiFi is ON but Mobile Data remained off.
Something is triggering WiFi and Mobile Data to automatically turn on. I can't seem to find the setting that is allowing this to happen.
With GB, I never had this issue. If I recall correctly, GB had a setting for the sleep period of the phone. I don't remember much else of what was adjustable in that menu and I can't remember if I set anything in there for GB and data. I cannot find anything remotely like that in ICS. ICS is bloody annoying me right now with these quirks.
I wish I could downgrade back to GB right now so I don't have to deal with data turning on during the course of the night.......

If you want to go back to gb look under the development tab for return to GB from ics. It's down a ways. Not sure what to tell you about the other issues but to try and reflash ics.

Try Airplane Mode
Sounds like you have some app trying to make a connection to run an update. It's turning on WiFi and/or the Mobile Data connections. I'll check mine tonight to see what happens.
Try turning on the Airplane mode when you go to bed. Hold down the power button and select the Airplane Mode option. If that doesn't keep the radios off, something is really wrong.
I sometimes use the Airplane mode at night to conserve the battery, but since you're charging, that's not an issue.

I found the thread. Thanks. I just need to read about unlocking the bootloader now before proceeding. The only downside of downgrading is I will lose the ICS radio which is giving me such good signal strength. Before in my room at home, I would get 1 bar, now I get 2 or 3. LULz.

This happened since day 1 of upgrading to ICS. The only software that I installed were some games and utilities that I had on GB. I never had an issue with either data connection turning on.
I might try another flash of ICS but that would mean running it for a night without the downloaded software for a couple nights and then installing each one by one, night by night.
I can use airplane mode but not for long term. I need to be able to receive calls from work when issues arise during the 2nd and 3rd shifts.
This only happens at night. It never happens during the day which makes me believe something is happening during the phone sleep time. And there's no setting that I can find for the phone sleep time like GB. Grr.....

Why not just leave data on if u don't mind me asking. Can't be using that much data really

Yep I have the same issue.
I have observed the data icon appear on the stroke of midnight. It takes three attempts to keep it off till the next time I use it, or when the damn thing turns back on at 23:59:59.
Spoke to HTC support, they advised to return it to retailer for them to examine it....WTF...lol

We have two threads on this issue of WiFi and/or Data turning on at midnight. When I first found the missing voice dialer problem, I e-mailed HTC support. They responded to my e-mail and then a member of their escalation team called me. They recognize that this is an ICS upgrade issue. Of course, they don't know when it will be fixed.
If you have not already done so, log into HTC.com, go to Support and send an e-mail describing the problem. They need as much feedback as we can give them to get HTC and/or Google to fix these problems.
I am not surprised that the ICS upgrade broke some things, but the number of things surprises me.

Check your setting. Drop the drop bar and enable Wi-Fi connection then touch the bar next to the off-on switch. Touch the icon next to the home icon on the bottom of the phone and click on advanced. See the screen shots.

Too bad. I noticed mine came on the first night after I installed ICS. Took awhile to find the settings I posted. When I found the settings and clicked on the one in the picture I never noticed Wi-Fi come on on its own since.

So I finally got around to trying Airplane mode. WiFi still kicks on overnight while plugged in.
vivid x2 - I had that checked to "Never" and I still have WiFi and Mobile Data coming on at night.
brucegil & FPV-GT - I will submit a support email ticket. I'm surprised there aren't more of us on here that are having this issue.
syrkel - I don't want either WiFi or Mobile Data on. If I'm not using it, why have it activated? All I need during the night is 2G voice so I can respond to work issues that may arise.

Just throwing another thing to look into. Try to reset the data counter and check it every few hours to see what apps are using the wi-fi data? Some of the apps even allow you to access the app settings from there as well. Check some of the app permissions and try disabling a few apps at a time that allow changes to wi-fi settings.

what a coincidence. i was just jacking around on my phone in class and found the advanced wifi option and there is a setting to keep wifi on during sleep. it has three options: always, only when plugged in, and never. hope this helps

Try installing a juice defender. It turns off data when your screen is off automatically. Also, (maybe only in the paid versions) you can set a night schedule for it to disable connectivity for a set time automatically. I have mine disable all data connections and go to silent mode from 12:30 to 8:30.

I tested this last night. Before I went to bed, I turned off WiFi (Data remained on). On the WiFi advanced settings I had the Keep Wi-Fi on During Sleep setting to "Always," which is the opposite of what people here have mentioned. I plugged in the charger. However, I have my Vivid set to remain on while on the charger. So it technically never went to sleep. (Makes a nice night light.) At 2:30 a.m. when I woke up, the WiFi was not on.
Tonight I will keep the same settings, but I will not put it on the charger (I'm testing the 3400 mAh Mugen extended battery). I will see if the WiFi comes on during the night.

I wonder if this is part of Googles data collection. I have gone through 3 vivid phones in the last 2 weeks (long story). I have seen this problem happen with no apps other than what came with the phone. My wifes phone (another vivid) does the same thing. If the phone is turned off for the night, turning the phone back on has the same results (mobile data is on). This seems to be a random problem.
When you allow Google's locaton service part of the message says that you are allowing Google to collect data even when no apps are running.
Just a thought.

I've been trying to figure out what's causing it...see my last couple posts here.

Notification problems

I seem to be having an intermittent problem with notifications on my new Moto G, when using the device and a notification comes through everything works 100%, however I sleep the device by tapping the power button as you do, occasionally notifications will not come through and then I tap the power button and the phone buzzes and the notification light starts flashing like they just came through at that second (when the time on the notification shows as X minuets previous).
I can't seem to replicate this in any fashion, it seems completely random and effects all types of notification, Gmail, WhatsApp and also the Ringer from Android Device Manager.
The Ringer from Android Device Manager is where I first confirmed the problem, I was playing with the Android Device Manager locating my phone which was sleeping right next to me, it located it fine so I hit ring and it said 'successful' or words to that effect, but the device was not ringing at all, picked up the phone and woke it, it immediately started ringing. I tried it a 2nd time and the same thing happened again, the 3rd time it worked as designed.
I've tried restarting the phone and clearing the data of effected apps, but neither worked, a reset of the device is the next logical step but I would like to hear if anyone else has this problem or has any other solutions.
This is happening when the device is connected to WiFi (even while sleeping) with the mobile data either enabled or disabled, I have not tried what happens if WiFi is not turned on, because when I'm at home I want it to use WiFi.
TLDR: sometimes by random I don't get notifications until I manually wake the device when they did actually come through X minutes previous it just didn't tell me.

Ok will do, is the 'Factory Reset' option in the menu sufficient, or is there something else I should do?

Check your advance wifi settings and also check Motorola Assist just in case!

I have keep WiFi on during sleep set to Always, and Avoid Poor Connections and WiFi Optimisation both ticked everything else is off, I've never used Motorola Assist.
I'll untick Avoid Poor Connections but I doubt it could be that as I have very good WiFi signal where I am.

OK when I find out that Avoid poor connections being unticked is not working (which I've just had a notification suggesting it isn't) I'll untick WiFi optimisation, I'm hesitant to untick it right now as it says it saves battery life.

OK new development I was listening to music on the phone (the phone is sleeping) the song ended but the next one didn't start, as soon as I tapped the power button the next song started.
I'm going to try resetting the phone as soon as I get chance, I just need to use a voucher in an app first as I'd loose it otherwise.

Double post

Reset the device today, my plan was to use the Recovery but none of the options would appear it would only display the Android laying down (even when pressing buttons), so instead used the Factory Reset option in the menu, only time will tell but fingers crossed it seems to be working OK now :fingers-crossed:

Wifi problems! Causing uncontrollable battery drain and other issues

On my phone the wifi toggles off and on repeatedly.
It toggles on for one second then off for one second then the cycle repeats.
The only way to make it stop is to activate airplane mode.
If I turn airplane mode off (to talk, text, etc.) the cycle continues.
I therefore cannot use internet unless I am using LTE and I get very rapid battery drain.
Any proposed solution to said problem?

do you have the latest version of marshmallow installed?

I have not received an OS update since September.
This is a very bizarre issue.
The wifi just perpetually toggles off and on without explanation.

Were you able to fix the problem? I would backup your contacts, pictures and anything else you might keep exclusively on your phone or do not want to lose and then go into recovery mode. Perform wipe cache partition (this is your system cache or /cache). If this does not fix the problem after reboot, go back into recovery mode and perform a wipe data/factory reset. Again, backup everything beforehand as this will format your /data, /cache and /sbfs partitions so everything will be cleared. After reboot, it will behave as if it was just turned on for the first time. Your system version/build will be the same as your last update in September.
Here are some videos if you have never used recovery mode before.
