All it did for me when I tested it out was create MASSIVE battery drain. Usually I can go overnight and lose less than 1% per hour. With this, I went from 100% to 60% in about 8 hours overnight. For some reason, using these caused UWBapplication to run in the background constantly, which caused massive battery drain. Aside from that, the apps didn't provide any useful functionality, so it was pretty much useless.

[Q] Monitoring partial wakelocks without root?

Does anyone know of a way to monitor wakelocks without root? Some app or service on my phone is keeping it awake for hours at a time and I can't figure out what it is. It's slowly draining my battery and has become an annoyance.
I've used BetterBatteryStats in the past, but it requires root to list Wakelocks.
Welcome to the world of no root
I really wish we could but without root I don't think its possible.

Eh, that's what I figured but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Getting hungry for root here...
Strangely enough, the wakelocks issue went away a day or so ago.
It may have been related to the Hangouts problem that has been happening recently, but I barely use the app.

According to their support docs, a lot of the options that I require regarding wakelook still require root.
Looks like we're just going to have to be patient.

This app caused me some issues. I was getting a lot of battery heat until I uninstalled it. I think apps like this conflict with Samsung's own power management.

The app does nothing to change the way the device runs; only reads stats from system

we got 9 icons showing so be creative
it's a bummer that's bothering me 2 so if anyone knows a solution.
thanks anyways.. by the way, you're on b564 and does the battery get hot even when you're running 1-2 small apps?

Terrible battery life. How to fix?

I am experiencing terrible battery life. It seems something is keeping my device awake while screen off? Any idea can find that out and fix it? Thanks in advance.
already so many threads just do a little reading
and as i can see your device is not sleeping is awake most of the time thats the issue
your job is to find out which process is keeping the device awake

I know some process are keeping it awake. But I don't know what it is and the top command seems does not provide much information.
Use better battery stats API from XDA search Google for it
4.0.3 has nice battery life.

Try Greenify, Naptime..

Thanks for the advice. Turns out it's the Google play services that's waking up my device. I have encountered this before and tried various methods in the forum yet still not fixed permanently. Anyway, for now, it's solved by rebooting the device.

Have your device manually power off/on during night say 1144Pm to 445AM. Some folks received many calls I don't so no need to have my phone on ALL night. Plus it helps my phone last way. .Way longer. This are my stats just from yesterday...http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a44fe5442fc/Screenshot_20170214-174412.png?

Well... I don't have Google Play Services eating up my battery... when I go to battery stats, the most percentage that is eating up my battery is Android OS which is at 3% But I did hear some users complaining about bad drain from Google Play Services. Try this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/google-play-services-battery-drain-t3537545
Also, use this kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/kernel-elementalx-op3-1-00-t3521298 with instructions on how to get best SOT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSa-9aWmTFk
So first try the methods to fix the battery drain issue with the thread that I posted, and then go and install the Elemental X kernel, and tweak it using the instructions on the youtube video Should work like a charm !
I'm with Franco and in getting amazing battery life. You should clean flash oxygen and the flash Franco kernel again

Huge system battery drain

So I left my phone at around 90% yesterday night with both WiFi and data turned off with no apps running it background and when today I woke up all my battery was drained. I did some research and people suggested to delete google play cache etc which I did. I am still wondering about the real culprit and the reason behind this.View attachment 4582529

You have the same problem that I had. (Not bad as yours...). As you can see, all the core clocks are at maximum speed, draining battery. The solution is to change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactive' to 'ondemand'... But to do so you need to unlock bootloader and root the device. I did this last night and my battery is fine now.
You could also delete the cache+data from google play services, and reboot your phone (turn wifi off!). You will not have the problem anymore (but if you switch the Wifi back 'ON' it will come back after a while).
See more abou this problem in the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/frequency-sd660-stuck-maximum-t3832366

also will this void my warranty if I root & unlock BL but not flash a custom ROM etc?

The normal cpu in iddle looks like the SS i've attached... It should increase clock when you're actually doing stuff, but, if the phone is iddle it should go back to the 'lowest' setting, which is what is currently in my SS.
And it will probably void warrenty, but I'm not sure... Good luck!
I am really surprised we are facing this issue even after having Android One. Wish I had waited and gone for Poco.

This issue was happening in pixel 2 as well, months ago... There are people here in the forum that own this device and does not have the problem... So maybe we're unlucky?

Go in the 'CPU' tab and change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactor' to 'ondemand' (you need to apply this in two itens, each item control 4 cores - its under the section "Big Governor" and "LITTLE governors") then reboot device.
Use cpu-z to confirm if the value was indeed changed.
Quick solution is to reboot. Fixes the issue but it gets triggered again! Submit a ticket on the feedback app.. a lot of people are affected by the CPU maxing out

It is just $50 more expensive and is available in India. No BS.
Xiaomi doesn't even reply to people or keep them updated like OnePlus does about the current issues and ETA of OTA.
A2 is like 230$ and poco is over 400 on gearbest for example. OnePlus yes sure they reply but they are lying all the time.

Poco will have their own bugs, don't worry.
this is Xiaomi world, good hardware, good price & lot of bugs.
I'm curious as why in CPU-Z, my processor is labeled as SD636 2.21ghz but the model is 660.
As for the cpu frequency, mine was like that until I stopped using the fingerprint and switched to trusted face.
It didn't get stuck ever since.
Now it discharges by 12% per hour without games, give it a try :good:

Note 9 poor battery life on Android Pie! (Snapdragon)

So Guys I'm having a really poor battery life on my Note 9 on Android 9. I get aprox 5 hours screen ontime, I used to get 8-9 hrs on beta pie or oreo. I just use my phone for social media apps, YouTube and stuff. Is there any one else who's having this issue? Can anybody recommend something to me for improving the battery life?
...........
Its a serious concern guys, battery life was the main reason I bought this phone for and its a real shame that the battery is so damn poor on latest update!

I used to have the same issue, but for some reason it's stopped after I disabled software updates. Now, I get close to 10 hrs.
Also, check these two in the screenshot out in developer options. Read on them and see what you can disable. They have a huge impact.

I wouldn't exactly say it's effed up but I will say I think isn't it just OneUI 1.0? It's the first build they have some stuff to iron out and tweaking to do. Battery usually gets fixed with an update here or there not a major one but one tailored for it. I'll give it time myself

I wasn't able to update any of the Samsung apps through the galaxy app store. Specifically "good lock". It always threw an internet connection error for me. It just messes with the galaxy app store in general.
Hmmm odd both of mine are disabled and mine update just fine. Agian was just curious.
