Hi. Yesterday I installed WidgetLocker and there's a huge battery drain. Phone was awake every time - also when screen is off. Here's a screenshot.

How can I fix this?
Thanks.
i have similar problems with the awake time but i can't seem to find the application responsible for it. How do you know that is widgetlocker(i dont have it install)?
you just installed it and the drainage happened or do you have some other application that keeps a history track of various applications battery usage?

I installed WidgetLocker and the battery life became horrible.
(You see that in the screenshot).
I have widgetlocker until now and it has not caused me any problems with the battery so far(if i'm gonna date it it's around the release of void.delta iirc) Did you try rebooting the phone after installing it?

Oh, I think I didn't.
I'll install WidgetLocker, reboot the phone and test.
Edit: Till now phone isn't awake every time, battery drain reduced.
make sure "U DO NOT HAVE GO LAUNCHER installed " my phone never went to sleep when i installed go launcher and "locked" a few running apps like equalizer...Now with zeam the backup is much better..And i m using ripple lock from market..

For me everything is fine, also with Go Launcher.

I used it for over 3 days and did not have any problems with battery backup. Andy's ROM with Andy's kernel was what I was using at that time.
Installed two days ago. No battery drain.

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.
Im attaching some pics so that u may get idea.

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.

The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)
My battery life has always been great; usually around 30% remaining when I go to bed.
Just in the last few days however I noticed it draining very fast with minimal usage.
Tonight, I'm down to 65% after just 4 hours (25mins screen on with lowest brightness and about 6 text massages, 20 what's app messages recieved, 1 missed call)
I have a CONSTANT wakelock mostly from *network-location-cell-update*, please see the screen shots.

The only thing I've done differenty recently is switch from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher (since changed back due to battery issue) and installed a few games from the Humble Bundle.
Latitude is always switched off and I have no facebook, twitter or push email.
Although *network-location-cell-update* seems to have a huge wakelock, it looks liek it's only used 4% of the total battery....
I'm really confused!
probably been answered somewhere else but try switiching off "use wireless networks" in location and secruity
I always used to leave that switched on with no problems; however because of this problem I have switched it off the last few days and it doesn;t resolve anything.
I don;t understand how this issue can just crop up out of no where...
Do you use latitude? Turn it off it's a battery killer. I think i've seen that exact same wakelock while using latitude.

The phones battery graph keeps going lower even when screen if off ??
Usually it would go in a straight line ow it just dips
It went from straight 100%- 58%
Is it normal or am i overreacting ??! As the screen was barely on all the time
Also i only use Edge not 3g and And edge is only activated by me when screen is on , otherwise its off
Apps which used battery
Partial Wavelocks
The AudioOut one is 12%
Other
Process
Rom: [ROM] [NEO/V] AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 [hotfix2] | Fast and Clean
Kernel: Provided one
Can anyone help ?
its normal drain
Something seems to keep the phone in awake state, won't let it sleep.
i use the same ROM with the provided (ICS beta) kernel, including all the hotfixes, just without the on-screen buttons. and i have no issue with battery dips/drains whatsoever
Never understood why you guys use these on screen buttons :/ like the phone didn't have buttons.. lol
Only makes the screen smaller and uglier
I Shall reflash again
And im getting rid of onscreen buttons i guess
It Kinda does get on my nerves ~_~
Still need to figure out whats causing it to be awake :/
Ill reflash tho

No point in wiping bat stat file. It's deleted/rewritten every time you disconnect charger from phone.
We use them hardware keys because we can simple

Well i didn't reflash or anything
Phone now enters deep slope
And i uninstalled some useless apps
Maybe that was the problem\
Still using onscreen buttons
*DELETED"
Galaxy S3 with Slimbean ROM and my battery usage from Themer is 2%
My current theme does not have a news widget so if yours does, check the auto update schedule.
Same here. Too much battery drain and taking up RAM. Couldn't expect less from an almost 10 mb launcher.
I started getting a constant LocationManagerService wakelock recently and I think it might be because of Themer or either Accuweather or The Weather Channel app. I uninstalled the weather apps since they don't even do anything for Themer.
same here...my battery is draining fast when I am using themer
Massive battery hog. Triples battery drain by 3x at least. Especially while idle.
I uninstalled the weather apps since they don't even do anything for Themer.
I found it is very rom dependent, if your running custom roms. I've had it use up to 40% and barely over 5% with the same theme depending on the rom/kernel. However I'm not a developer so I have know idea what could be causing such a big difference across roms.

Hi,
First, there are many reasons why Themer itself could be draining your battery when compared to other launchers. Some themes comes with 3-5 pages of widgets. Now these widgets have to redraw almost every minute. We've been trying our best to reduce this battery usage, but for now using a single-page theme will definitely help use less battery. Also, constantly changing themes will lead to battery drain. This is due to Themer having to download and apply an array of widgets, icons and wallpapers to fit your device. Therefore sticking to a theme per week will really help too.
Next, make sure that there aren't any background apps, widgets and launchers that are running. Sometimes Nova launcher will run in the background, as well as the widgets that were on that homescreen. Therefore make sure only Themer is running.
Sometimes uninstalling Themer - deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder - then reinstalling Themer will give it a reboot and battery usage will improve.
Finally make sure that Themer is always up-to-date
Hope this helps!
great battery
But I have a zero lemon lol
