Something keeping my device awake

I am not having any battery life issues, but I know I can get better usage out of the phone if I could figure out what is causing battery drain.
Here is my usage so far, WiFi has been off 90% of the time, but notice how it shows WiFi as on the whole time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I installed the "wake lock detector" app, and here are the results:
Wakelock triggers:
CPU wakelock:
I tried finding those exact processes in "Disable Service" app, but they do not exist. Also I do not understand why WiFi shows as always on when it is off.
I am on the Pure Shamu 5.0.1 ROM, default kernal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regarding WiFi always on; there's an option in the WiFi settings under Advanced that allows the phone to continuously scan for WiFi networks even when WiFi is toggled off. This is on by default.
I imagine this is why the devices report WiFi on even if you've turned it off.

You are correct, this fixed the WiFi issue. Now I just need to figure out how why my N6 is staying awake for so much time.

I bet its the same thing a few of us have ... its been discussed a fair bit here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/n6-battery-life-owners-thread-t2946742/page62
Basically it seems its a process called " sensor.ind" once it starts up , it just doesn't shut off and keeps the device awake all the time. haven't found a fix.
Also it didn't show up in wakelock detector, but it does in betterbatterystats under " kernel"

Regarding your Wakelocks... You have some of the top offenders on your phone. Facebook, Search and the rest of the Google Apps like Hangouts and Google Plus. Then judging by your Greenify Wakelocks it looks like your phone is hibernating certain apps only to have them woken up fairly quickly.
Now it's easier to tell if you truly have an issue by using Better Battery Stats and leaving your phone unplugged and idle over night and then grabbing a Dump File first thing in the morning.
Those stats you posted do let you know what has been running, but it is during moderate to heavy use.
Some suggestions...
Allow for Greenifying of System apps under experimental features and Greenify everything. Get rid of the Facebook app and use the site. Turn off Sync and Notifications for only the essential apps and manually sync. If you're a moderate to heavy user anyways you won't be missing out too much and manual sync works well.
Personally I ditch most Google apps and Greenify the ones I do use. I also use Nova Launcher and don't use Google Now and Search or OK Google. However I still think if you tamed your apps you should be in good shape and be able to use the Google apps you enjoy.

Download App Ops from the Play Store and deny permission to Google Play Services for "Keep Awake"
Its a huge battery drain. And no there are no side effects by denying permission. Been doing that ever since Google Play Services have been draining battery.
You also use Facebook + Messenger which are known contributors to poor battery life especially messenger. I don't know if you have "Ok Google" on all the time or google now but disable that, google search is using way too much battery.

Wouldn't denying Keep Awake for google play services disable things like location services & app authentication with google when the phone is otherwise idle? Some people may want those things

Thanks for your input.
Got better battery stats, will be testing this out tonight before I Greenify any system apps or switch back to Nova. I personally like the google now launcher a lot because of the ability to just swipe right to access google now. Its not as smooth in Nova with a gesture, or as swipe up the home button.
As far as sync, I couldn't find any way to turn off sync for each app like in KitKat. Now there is only an option to turn off sync for all apps (under Settings > Accounts).

I'm going to check better battery stats tonight, and then change things up tomm accordingly. I'll probably end up uninstalling Facebook + messenger. If there is still battery drain my google search (which I'm sure will still be there), I will use app ops to deny those permissions and report back on my findings.
And I do not have OK google on all the time, but I do use Google now. Yes, I know google search is using too much battery, that's is what I was hoping to tackle.

No it doesn't disable that feature. I've done this for over 4 months since I've had the oneplus one which suffered from this same problem.
Battery is much better with the permission denied as it consumes a large amount of battery and wakelock.

Go to your Accounts, Click on Google, then click on your email address and you'll see all the apps and their sync options.

Based on the suggestions I received, I've done some things over the past few days to see what changes.
What I did:
Uninstalled: Facebook, Messenger (Facebook), Google (search).
Disabled: OK google detection, Google Now.
Installed: Better Battery Stats, Greenify (pro), Wakelock Detector.
Turned off auto sync for most google apps.
Greenified all apps possible plus system apps (with pro version).
My initial screenshots are in the original thread, I was seeing much less "device awake" time after uninstalling the few apps. Here are my results after a full days use:
The device awake time is still at 65%, even after uninstalling the apps listed above. Upon taking these screenshots, I fully charged my N6 to 100%, then took it off charge, restarted it, and left it overnight for 7-ish hours. The drain over this period was a small 3%, which was great, didn't have to recharge when I woke up. Screen shots below.
Upon seeing dicks sporting goods causing lots of wakelocks, I uninstalled the app today. I had right around 4 hours SOT. I was at work for 8 hours, which is at the first floor of a airport garage, and there is barely any signal, so i believe I could have gotten better results had it been a college (nonwork) day. Here are the screenshots from right now, at 13% battery.

Couldn't post any more screenshots in previous post, so here they are:

You should be looking at CPU wakelocks and not wakeup triggers. Wakeup triggers just shows what processes were scheduled to automatically wake up to do certain tasks. CPU wakelocks shows which apps actually kept the phone awake.
You can also turn on the kernel wakelocks in the settings menu to see what system processes are keeping the phone awake.

Sorry dude but the only way is to root your phone and delete all the samsung and google bloatware that run in the background and eat your ram and the battery.

Yes I agree only way you can save battery now is Greenify that can hibernate unnecessary programs

Can you recommend uninstalling programs for samsung and google apps....
For now I use Clean Master and Battery Doctor.

Clean master and battery doctor themselves are battery draining so I recommend you to install a custom rom

Choose / uninstall what you don't want from these Google apps (maybe you don't have all of them) : Chrome Browser, Gmail,Google+, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Earth, Google Keep, Google News & Weather, Google Play Books, Google Play Games, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Music, Google Play Newsstand, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Hangouts, Maps, Street View on Google Maps, TalkBack.
Also do the same with the Samsung apps like : Game Hub, Video Hub, ChatON, Samsung Hub, S Planner,S Suggest and S Voice.
And consider what @Mike20017 recommends.

Spin the Battery

Take out your battery and try to spin it on a flat surface. (try it on both sides). If it spins easily than you should buy a new battery because your old one lost it's capacity. If the battery is okay than it's probably some kind of software issue. Good Luck :good:

Genius! I have 2 batteries off a galaxy ace that are faulty and spin easy because they've ballooned slightly. Good tip!.

How to get notification without freezing GSF

Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man!
The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will work, location accuracy etc. Everything will work until you restart the phone without enabling flight mode first. Then you might start receiving play protect notifications and you have to redo the procedure.
Prerequisite : GMS has to be installed and fully working without play protect notifications. Any method of installation should be OK, i prefer manual but Googlifier is fine.
1a. Run following commands using ADB:
adb shell
cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
cmd appops write-settings
1b. Open Settings - Apps - App Launch
Tap the three dots, select "Show system Processes".
Search For Google Services Framework.
Change from Manage Automatically- To Manage Manually. Deselect Options "Auto-launch" and "Run in background". Only secondary launch remains selected.
2. Put phone in airplane mode. It's very important!
3. Open Settings, go to Apps, Apps, tap three dots, select Show system processes, find Google Services Framework. Open it.
4. If you have frozen Gsf defrost it (enable).
5. Stop it if it's running. Go to Storage, clear cache, clear data. Stop it again if necessary.
6. Restart the phone.
7. Do not disable airplane mode yet! Wait few minutes in airplane mode or check with Device ID app if you see your GSF ID.
8. Disable airplane mode and check play store. If you see error message, close it from task list and try again.
If you restart the phone without enabling airplane mode first all you have to do is redo above guide starting from point 2.
If you see play protect notifications do not panic! Enable airplane mode, go to settings, apps, apps, find Google framework services, goto storage, stop it, clear cache, clear data, restart your phone then you should be good.
I do not use Google apps except maps, but they should work. Remember that using above guide does not mean your device will get play protect certification. So, Google pay will not work for sure.

Nice it works. Playstore and all push Notification works whiteout problems. Thanks man

1. Install device ID app to get Google service id. Copy it. If you have frozen gsf, defrost it to get ID.
2. Register gsf id on https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
3. Freeze GSF and make sure your apps are having notifications. You can use push notification tester to check if push is supported and fully working.
4. Wait. At least a day or two.
5. Put phone in airplane mode. It's very important!
6. Defrost GSF. Wait few minutes in airplane mode. Do not restart phone.
7. Disable airplane mode and check play store. If you see error message, close it from tak list and try again.
If you see play protect notifications do not panic! Enable airplane mode, go to settings, apps, apps, find Google framework services, goto storage, stop it, clear cache, clear data then froze it and wait another day or two then repeat above procedure.
So far tested on two different p40 pro and mate 30 pro. All three devices working great

Did you see, that your Device is registered for Google Play Protect? For me, there is no About Option at Playstore Settings.

I am trying on Mate 30 Pro. (Waiting for 1 or 2 days)
Thank you for sharing.
I will share in here if i can success

Slightly edited OP. Looks like sometimes you have to wait just an hour or two and it's enough.
In worst case scenario you will get play protect notifications; then you have to clear cache, data, freeze gsf and wait bit longer. When you freeze gsf all your apps will still have push notifications, only playstore will not work (and google location accuracy0.

Hi all,
Can you confirm that it works more than 8 hours and even after reboot? Cause there was an option before that was working only for 8 hours or till next update.
P.S. can you also confirm that GSF ID stays the same? Because after I defrost it, it is same as registered. Once I reboot, it changes different value and I start getting errors.

There is a method on youtube for working notification + Playstore for 8 hours or till next reboot. Steps are very similar

Question Reduce idle battery drain

Hello everyone,I left my phone overnight for 8 hours at 100% battery and after 8hours of idling it was at 80%,this seems to much for me. I'm on EEA firmware 12.5.3 and I debloated removing many apps what do you suggest to check or remove?

Try putting it on airplane mode before setting it down for the night. I noticed this drain also, but this made a significant difference. I'm hoping the 12.5 update will sort it!

You are right,putting it into airplane mode should reduce power consumption, probably 5g consume a lot of energy. Now I went into battery mode and resticted apps in background I don't use like assistant, scanner,recorder, notes, and much more

Kill cloud and cloud backup apps.
If you got Google play Services, disable that when not using. Google backup Transport and Framework can be permanently disabled. Kill Google Firebase and feedback for Google, manufacturer, apps and carrier. For starters.
No need to put in Airplane mode if you take out the trash that's needlessly running in the background sucking the battery down.

Could you drive me trough the settings please? Where I can do this? I disabled many things but I want to be sure what I missed

I'm not holding the device and I have a Note 10+ but there are similar issues on all Android phones.
You need to be able to see what apks are draining the battery and using the internet. On Pie which I use is easier to do than with Q and 11 however you may have resources on those systems I'm unaware off.
Disable all power management and address the power hogs individually on a case by case basis.
You can use Karma Firewall to block internet access to rogue apps which will decrease their battery usage. However it's valuble logging features are disabled in Q and above. There may be a ADB work around... I don't know.
Package Disabler is very useful as well. There are non-Samsung variants of the apk you can likely use real time.
Play with it which what I did.
It's time consuming... and what works for some won't work for all. My 10+ was a hot running power hog; today it's a cool running, fast, stable, heavily optimized platform. Once done, do not update the OS or you'll be starting from scratch, again.

Use the Hidden Settings for MIUI app on the Google Play store to disable all the apps that cannot be disabled through the normal app menu (no root required):
Hidden Settings For MIUI - Apps on Google Play
More settings for Xiaomi devices to get a better user experience.
play.google.com

Well the most draining app is Google play services which I don't know what it is used for

Google Backup Transport, Gmail, Gmaps, Find my Device and Playstore mostly. A few other 3rd party apps are dependencies as well like paid for Playstore apps, some of those will run normally without it though*.
Otherwise you can safely leave it disabled.
Find my Device will not initialize as a Device Administrator on reboot without it enabled, an apk I loathe. A reboot with Google play Services enable though will likely be needed to access Playstore.
Playstore is a mess, running in the background.
*like Accubattery if you firewall block it. SD Maid same issue.

That's what I don't understand, Google gmail has been uninstalled via adb, gmaps has been restricted in background (also need to ask location permission everytime it starts), play store has been restricted in background and find my device disabled, so I don't know why it keeps running all the time, what should I do? Shall I install MIUI optimization? The only thing I don't want to lose are whatsapp push notifications, step counter, messages and phone calls notifications
Also my device is rooted, hiw can I prevent Google play services from running in background and being used only when requested? Same for carrier services (what's used for?) And Xiaomi services framework

Find my Device still runs even when disabled.
As does Google Backup Transport and Framework.
Google play Services just does what it wants.
WhatsApp... you're kidding, right? I won't let that FB etc or any "social app" on my machine. Multiple security risks written all over (and into) it.

20% overnight is a lot, I get 4% overnight with no special settings. How's the signal strength? I've noticed that signal strength can have a negative impact on battery when looking for a signal as you mentioned airplane mode seems better.

It's using the internet either polling or transferring data needlessly. You need to find the source.
My 10+ can receive texts and calls at night and still uses only 2-3% in 6 hours with touch to see AOD running.
Before when Google Backup Transport was running (even though it was turned off) it was more like 8-10%. Gookill is a mess.

Well WhatsApp is need to communicate with my wife lol,and my family.
Where can I find these backup transport? I run through the settings and restricted background activity for many apps, I got to see overnight what my new drain will be so I can report you.
What carrier services does? If I restrict background activity will I still receive sms and WhatsApp?
The only apps I have installed on my phone which I installed are: Whatsapp, tapatalk, Kiwi browser (uninstalled chrome), youtube vanced and magisk. All the rest if the apps are the one that came with the firmware. I uninstalled a lot of them plus some packages through adb. Still Google play services and carrier services are the most demanding. I don't want to loose the ability to use maps but only when I use it obviously. I want super low battery drain in idle

I don't want to loose the ability to use maps but only when I use it obviously. I want super low battery drain in idle

Why not use text messaging instead? It's battery usage is low.
-You- really need to know what you are disabling... one at a time.
There are likely more than one or two apps contributing to high battery usage.
Play with it.
Like I said you can enabled/disable Google play Services as needed in settings.
You'll find Google Backup Transport Services and Framework there as well.
Each device and user are different, one solution doesn't work for all. You'll need to become familiar with your device to do this right.

In settings where? And what should I restict or deactivate?

I think I solved the issue by resticting a lot of background activities through manage apps, usage access, revocation and permissions, now the phone stayed a 100% for more than 5hours

Cell standby seems very high.
Try a network resort, clear system cache.

Network resort? Where can I clean system cache

How To Guide How to fix "Access denied" screen randomly appearing on rooted devices

A couple of days ago my S21 Ultra running G998BXXS5CVIF automatically opened an "Access denied" screen. It was impossible to show which app cause it as it disappeared once you got to the app switcher menu.

I could force the screen by rebooting or by changing the device's language. Using:
Code:
dumpsys activity activities | grep "mFocused"
via adb showed it was com.android.samsung.dkey which opened an activity of com.samsung.android.carkey (com.samsung.android.dkey/com.samsung.android.carkey.ccc.ui.IntegrityCheckFailDialogActivity)
Apparently there was a Samsung Wallet Digital Key update (probably v1.0.08.11) which causes it after a reboot as well as randomly every couple of hours. Disabling "Appear on top" for Samsung Wallet Digital Key fixed it for me.
Uninstalling the update isn't a good permanent solution and you can't disable the app without root (meaning you probably don't want to disable it as it maybe could cause other issues). It can affect any device that has a tripped Know. Even formerly rooted devices running stock with a locked bootloader.

thanks i was looking for a solution for this! so many thanks

Had this error on my rooted S21 Ultra as well, i went back to stock but this error appeared. Thanks to this thread i solved it. But you can delet it without root.
Thers an Windows App called ADB AppControl. there you can simply uninstall Samsung Wallet Key app.
You are unable to use it, so delete it. Nitification never appeared again

You actually can fix it without root: "appear on top" can be toggled which fixes the problem. No need to disable or uninstall it. I tend to not deactivate or remove apps that are non-user removeable as I had bad experiences with spammed logs and high CPU usage due to Java errors

Good point with the Error logs

You can fix it by removing Digital Key app from system/priv-app folder. If you're rooted of course.

Yes, but just disabling "Show on top" is easier and safer. From my past experience speaking: removing system apps that often talk to each other and require certain frameworks inside apps, it may lead to permanent log spam and high CPU usage due to dozens of system calls that go unanswered.
The stock system often isn't designed for core apps being missing. That's why disabling apps is imho better as it hides apps from the system but still allows other apps to use their existing frameworks.
The benefits of "removing" apps e. g. via debloating with Magisk is not worth the issues that could arise. It's especially not worth it if the solution is to not let the app show that message at all

Thank you so much! Had this issue since a few days on my S22 Ultra after updating all Samsung apps via the Galaxy Store and these random popups were driving me crazy.

Freeze samsung wallet digital key from titanium backup is work for me

i have the same problem, i don't know which application is causing this error, how can i remove this error screen. my phone is s21 ultra and i have knox triggered but no root device

Cihazım rootlu değil.

You are a lifesaver!
I'm on stock, but I have rooted my phone before so my Knox is tripped. I got this message every time I tried to do anything Samsung-software related. It was worst when trying to use my camera, popping up all the time.

You can follow the instructions without being rooted. Disabling "Appear on top" for Samsung Wallet Digital Key fixes it.

@Macusercom i love people like you when sharing even a little bit of knowledge that makes so difference! thanks man!

I just rooted my newly bought Note 20 Ultra 5G today, this message kept popping up. Actually, it started happening as soon as I unlocked the bootloader, even before rooting. It seems that just doing that is enough to trigger it. And no matter what you're doing, it will hijack it to show this message. It was driving me crazy for a few hours until I found this thread. Disabling "appear on top" works 100%. But in a few days it won't matter anymore, I'll be moving to an open source GSI ROM. Then I won't have to deal with messages like this spamming the crap out of the phone.
Samsung just needs to f off, at least we're still buying their devices. They're ours, we should be able to use them how we want. The bastards already have our money, yet they still want to do things like this to us.

Hey guys, please i am having this error since I upgraded my S20 Ultra to Android 13. Plus the Phone des not recognize my sim card anymore. I don't have this Samsung Wallet app neither. Can someone help please ?

Yup same for me, cant find this app.
