How do I completely freeze this service using T backup pro?
I freezed Gtalk 1.0.3 the app, but using Betterbatterystats reveal that gtalk_async_conn still resulting in partial wakelock timing
I have also noticed this.
Anyway we can stop it?
Still no solution? GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is my main Partial Wakelock in the Betterbatterystats (KH3 firmware) and heavy battery drainer with about 60 min of activity during 8 hours...
same problem with me...and no one on Google does not have a solution for this.
installed 'Better Battery Stats' to see what was keeping the phone up and it's "gtalk_async_conn". The thing is that I don't even use Google Talk. I tried to disable auto-login and freeze it with Titanium Backup without any luck. The only thing that worked was to disable 'Background data' but other apps like Market needs that option on.
Literally everyone appears to have this problem, i actually froze Talk in Titanium and have had no problems but is this Gtalk_async_conn related to this or what?
This problem persist more with google Maps 5.8, 5.9 version. I uninstalled the google maps and noticed that problem was solved, issue was not present anymore in wakelock of batterbatterystats. However it's not permanent solution.
same prob here. would be nice if s.o. has a solution
I also uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup) and it helped for a while -- got really minimal battery drain for several hours. But now the problem is back so I'm wondering if it might also be related to Market or Gmail.
I would say this is the answer.
ANSWER
And it would explain why everyone has it.
That post might explain what it is, but it's not very helpful at solving the issue.
I turned off notifications in Market (some versions don't have this setting; try Market 3.1.3). If it still doesn't help then I am going to try turning off Gmail sync.
Turn off all syncing (gmail, calander, etc), turn off background data and you may have it disappear, also don't use anything that uses google c2d push notifications.

I did the following:
- Uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup)
- Turned off notifications in Market (using Market 3.1.3)
- Turned off Google accounting syncing for everything except Gmail (background data / auto-sync still enabled)
Partial wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN are now very low. Just a couple of seconds over 15+ hours of low use.
However I think I still have some battery drain (based on Battery Monitor Widget) so I am looking at other possibilities.

I am not trying to be a smartass but doesn't your battery monitor widget cause some battery drain?

Totally valid point. But I have also tried running it with Battery Monitor Widget turned off and I still see the same drain (by looking at the battery history graph).
Also while experimenting, I had a couple of hours where Battery Monitor Widget continuously reported -1mA battery discharge (while Battery Monitor Widget was running of course). The battery history graph was basically flat. So that tells me that I can still run Battery Monitor Widget and get minimal battery usage -- if everything else is working right.
In the Better Battery Stats thread, the developer says his target battery discharge is -2mA to -10mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). I know it's possible because I've gotten it before, but lately I'm somewhere around -70mA so that's what I've been working on.
Getting great battery life now with the Gtalk_async_conn issue seemingly gone. I still have Maps removed -- luckily I do not need it much these days. I also notice that Market likes to stay running in the background, where it uses some CPU time even with notifications disabled. Also, turning on Google Calendar auto-sync caused significant battery drain.
Quick summary:
- Uninstall/freeze Maps
- Kill Market if it's running in the background
- Turn off Google account syncing for everything except Gmail
- Turn off "Back up my data" under Privacy settings
I was at about 50% battery after 20 hours. I am running Cognition 1.5.1 with SpeedMod kernel.

It's good to know that these mods work, but they are pretty extreme for me, and I would assume many others. I actively use the functionality of Maps and other Google account syncing. I hope that someone can work out a way to minimize the usage without cutting off the functionality completely.
For what it's worth, I see a dramatically higher usage of the GTALK process when I am at work where some of the syncs are blocked on the office wifi. Out of the office on 3G or at home, the amount of time GTALK is active is significantly reduced.
Atrix here but same issue. I agree if turning off syncs is the way to go, I might as well buy a dumbphone
I agree it's annoying. But the battery life improvement is dramatic, even more so than I mentioned in my earlier post. I used to get <20 hours per charge. Now I get about 3 days. Hopefully these are just bugs in the apps that Google will fix in future versions.
Not sure what is causing it. I have turned off auto-sync, logged out of gtalk, and even turned off "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" from Settings>Privacy.
I still notice 1-2 minutes of partial wakelocks.
Try killing Market if it is running.

There is a problem in every 2.3.5 ROMs (I tested everyone of them...even gingerdx v13).
The problem is due to "google maps" app...
If the app isn't freezed (by titanium) or unistalled, the problem persist.
The problem starts when open "maps". After that, some processes of "maps" start to drain battery....the only thing to do in order to temporally solve this problem, is reboot the phone.
I don't know if is in the app itself or in the way that the ROMs manage it...but It's present and It's a major and annoing bug.
Please try to solve it.
A smartphone with android and gps is useless without maps! ^^
But old gingerbread roms had not this problem, im wondering why it occcurs now.

I don't know...I had froyo ROMs before...no problems with maps!
yup even i am having huge battery drains on the gingerdx rom...
i tried freezing a lot of apps, but was not able to narrow down the causative app..
I figured out that i get a lot of wakelocks by time service
MauriF , how did u figure app that google maps was causing the drain?
I don't have battery drain problems (never had since I logged out of Latitude).
I also tested EVERY rom posted (froyo and gingerbread) and they all had similar battery duration, and no unexplained drains...
Im on ginger dx v13, I found if you listen to music and then stop the music player, some services are still running and it kills your battery so I just reboot the fone and its fine, I also froze dps manager and google maps. If you read the origanal topic on ginger dx it tells that the music player drains your battery. People must except that there will be bugs.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
The music player bug IS a bug.
The maps problem isn't. Yes Maps drains the battery but its because you have done one of the following:
Have GPS on
Have enabled an app to see your location: could be browser, latitude, search etc
Have turned on 'My Location' in Settings -> Locaton and Security
Have allowed maps to cache in background: check by opening maps -> more -> cache settings
Android needs to open apps to all of these things, its not the ROM as far as i can see.
Sorted it out for me on GingerDx v11
x drsood,
Using Titanium i freezed maps = no battery drain
enabling it = battery drain (I mean 3% each 5 minutes)
...even if the app is not started.
maybe the problem is one that Dan is saying! I need to check..
x Dan,
I charge battery than I'll check! Thank You very much!!

i have the "maps" as well as "dsp manager" frozen...still i have this battery drain...i know its not a rom problem coz many have reported that they hav excellent battery life, but i cant figure out the app causing all these drains
unistalled "maps 5.9.0" (always some services active...huge battery drain), installed "maps 5.0" (no services active!)
Now I test battery again!
Yeah that's exactly i want to say Maps drain battery so much only 3 hours my phone use up all !
mmm...it's not only maps....
this night in 7h mt battery is at 41% :-/
Check whats running services then. Settings -> Applications -> Running Services
Will probably tell us your problem

i dont have maps but stiil battery drain
and minicm6 (2.2.9) only drains around 7% battery during night
Thank you for usefull info.
I unistalled maps and now my battery last 3 times more. I was impressed.
I found that, using D4Kernal, the battery life extends quite a bit. I got a whole 24 hours out of the phone yesterday which is a first.
just a suggestion
In my experience excessive battery drain can be caused by 3 causes:
1)Apps running in background
Some apps consume more battery than others. the best way to see in my experience is install apps atleast 12H apart so that you can tell which app is causing drain. Google maps process does run forever in background. To stop pit, Go to settings--> applications-->manage applications-->(click on Maps APP)-->click Force Stop. This has to be done everytime you reboot your phone. For a permanent thing, try freezing in Titanium
2)Battery callibration:
While Li-Poly batteries like the BST38 in the x10 minipro dont need full depth charging, the battery measurement needs it.
Try this(need root)
Charge phone to 100%
(Install "Battery callibration" app from Market and click "Callibrate battery")
OR
(Boot into CM Recovery and erase Battery stats)
Once Battery is 100% charged, unplug and discharge to 0%(If you dont have patience for this turn on google maps with GPS, turn on Wifi and play music on your loudspeaker. My battery drained in 1.5 hrs with this usage )
Once Battery is discharged to 0(i.e phone shuts off), Recharge to 100% and use as normal.
After doing this I get around 70+ Hrs of standby in GingerDX v013. This process NEEDS to be done everytime you install a new custom ROM.
3)Ruined Battery:
If you have too much drain in ALL ROM's...including the stock ROM, OR, none of the above steps work,then the battery is probably faulty. There's nothing you can do about it but get a new one
All the best!
EDIT:
4) Network signal strength:
If the signal strength by the service provider is low, your phone will try to amplify it to achieve higher clarity. Unfortuntely this consumes higher power. Your body also absorbs some radiation hence requiring even higher amplification. My recommendation is unless you are moving around, keep your cell outside (On your desk or something). You'll get slightly better signal strength plus if some studies are to be believed you'll be more fertile and smarter and your heart will be healthier too
Hey,is it makin any big difference btween stock and D4's Kernel?

Get 'CpuSpy'
and check if your phone goes into deep sleep.
Also try this, Everytime instead of locking your screen, put the phone to sleep mode (I like doing this thru notification power control widget)
For a few days now I've noticed a massive battery drain of Google maps, up to 60 per cent of the battery use, without evening opening the app (must have been running in the background). I have temporarily disabled the app on my phone, but am I the only person with this problem?

Make sure the "Location reporting" (in Google Maps settings) is disabled if you don't want the battery drain. Moreover, Google Now activates the Location reporting so you might have to disable Google Now as well...
P.s: this post should be in Q&A section, doesn't it ?

I have google now disabled all the time, and the location reporting was unchecked too.. Besides that, even if that had been activated, it shouldn't have taken 60% of my total battery (I had about 70% of my total battery left when I noticed it today), should it?
(...and yes, this one should be in the Q&A section, hadn't thought about that when I posted it though...)
I had the same issue. I turned all location reporting off and turned off Google now, also made sure GPS was off. All that helped a fair amount but Maps still kept running in the background even though I'd never used the app. In the end I used an app called Greenify to hibernate maps and a bunch of other background apps and it made a world of difference. Use wakelock detector to see which apps are causing wakelocks and disable any you don't need running.
Wyman Gibuil
use an extension car battery so it can add battery life even for month, just make sure you will get the same voltage
Its coz of google location services bug that HTC phones are having after the update.
If you are interested about it: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ssues-for-htc-owners-google-working-on-a-fix/
In short:
Only location service thats working if you have this bug, is gps. Rest of locations services (wifi, mobile newtwork etc.) wont work.
Who couses it? - latest updates for google services.
How to fix it? - atm google is working on fix. There is some type of user fixes you can try. (see post).
Hope it explains your drain. I have this bu and i get this unusual drain from maps too.
Hi, I have a stock i9300, rooted.
About 3 days ago, I noticed that my device, which normally gets through a day comfortably, was running out of juice by early afternoon.
I've checked the data usage meter and it shows that Google Services is doing something with data constantly. It's not a lot of data (500MB over 7 days) but it's enough to keep my "H+" showing data uploading and downloading all the time, which is not normal behaviour.
As a result of this, the battery is running dry. Even when plugged in, the charging isn't keeping up and eventually the battery runs out, and I have to leave the phone off for a bit to recharge.
I have since turned off background data for Google Services, and I'm hoping this works, although I don't know what I'm going to lose in terms of functionality as a result of doing that.
But I'd like to know what the problem is and why this has suddenly happened as it's really bugging me. Hoping someone else has experienced this. I have searched for other threads on this topic, all refer to battery drain but I don't seem to have the same issue. If I look at my battery stats I'm not seeing Google Services at the top of the list like others. Mine is more to do with data.
Cheers,
Pete
I cant answer why or what it is, but one thing I did notice wasted a lot of battery for me (other than google now of course) was the google backup. You know the one you tick when you first go through the set up wizard on the phone? "Backup this device with google".

hi,
if you have various system or user apps wakelocks, first do a monitoring it with your favorite battery monitor and analysis tool to details.
gmail, google services, backup, sync contacts, other syncs google plus, etc, localization services, call direct or indirectly other apps, bringing more wakelocks (partial, kernel, network - your case I think) ... and more battery drains ... facebook is a classic example ... hungry app
Wakelocks - read it ... enlight your questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Wakelocks
to monitorate and analyse the battery consumption, drain, and wakes use BetterBatteryStats - bbs

you can use traditional battery savers (i didn't recommend)
I do use greenify together with bbs (paid app - to full hibernate and extras, but very good - the "engine" is different, doesn't kill or freeze, but hibernate system (need root) or users apps. @oasisfeng created a smart and reliable engine - support him

Just want to compare and see what other people are seeing. I'm on stock rooted ME7 with a lot of bloat frozen. Data was left on, but no WiFi or Bluetooth. Email sync is scheduled not to sync during the hours I sleep, and I don't use Facebook or Twitter. About the only thing that syncs overnight is weather. I checked using GSAM battery monitor, there were only two wakelocks for like 40 seconds, and the only apps using power were android kernel and system, no third party apps. It did show the gyroscope running for 7 hours (???!).
Is this typical? I just came from a rezound, not exactly the king of battery, but that phone only lost about 1% per hour in standby...

Well it makes a difference what ROM you're on. Stock ROM, maybe I don't remember how it was on Stock but I've basically used CleanROM 1.0 and am now on BoneStock 1.1.4 shortly after GS4 VZW release. I get .25% to .50% drain per hour if WiFi is not on. I have Email sync once per hour even overnight. I also go under "Data Usage" in settings and I block background data on stuff that has some background usage. I DO NOT restrict background data on Internet, Android OS, Google Services, Play Store, Email, Gmail, or Media. Most other things i do restrict Background data on. Things like YouTube, Gallery, ESfile, DropBox, Slingplayer, netflix, and i freeze Maps until I need them as it burns battery even when not in use.
I hope this helps.

dont mean to hijack thread but how do you change email sync to once per hour - is there a way to do it for GMAIL in particular?
That's about what I lost last night per hour. It varied between 1.1 and 2.4% per hour.

Go into email then settings, and select the account you want to change sync in, then sync schedule and at the top and choose the sync frequency.

i normally get around .2 to .7%/ hour on standby with wifi, gps, and all account syncing on. i do use greenify to sleep maps and g service and a bunch of other apps.
this is on synergy rom.
the biggest battery help was turning off location services.

you can't get .2% drain per hour with both wifi and gps on... They will make your Android OS drain battery much faster and push that from 4-6% up to 15% or more in your battery stats. Plus if GPS is on so are your location services.
Can someone post a good list of apps to sleep with Greenify?

i actually do, but i have to be connected to a wifi source at the time. i always have wifi on and gps. as for location services, i meant that i turn off the service for all google apps in google settings. that mofo drains like you wouldn't believe. with very light use today i used up 1.1% per hour while at work (for 10 hours). i used the phone a little more while off and with 41 min of screen on i'm at 70%, down from 92% at 7:30. adding that after work time i'm now at 1.83%/hour in the last 12 hours.
at home at night, i usually drop from .2% to .8% (sorry, i missed that by .1% earlier, lol). either synergy is that freaking good, my battery calibration is whacko, i've greenified the right stuff, or i'm just fricken luck. i don't really know. but my numbers are what they are. i use both bmw and bbs.
Well, as an experiment I Greenified a few apps, turned data and location services off and put the phone in power save mode, and left it off the charger over night. I lost 1% in 8 hours. That's more like it.
I used Better Battery Stats to figure out what has draining my battery like crazy. After 15 hours, this patial wakelock kept my phone up for nearly 6 hours!!! My phone is a LG P769V20D (Optimus L9), locked bootloader, and tweaked stock ROM. Almost fully debloated (kept gmail).
Is there an alternative fix to this? I froze Google Services Framework, but then the play store won't work until I defrost it. In addition, it causes the appearance of another wakelock called "Icing." It doesn't run as often as Event Log, but still runs a decent amount of time (~1 hour in less than 24 hours of battery discharge).
Any ideas?
Edit: I think I found a solution!!! Turns out that Xposed Installer has a nifty app called Per App Hacking. It enables the user to either prevent wakelocks or simply delay the rate at which the wakelocks occur. In my case, I prefer to delay since I do use Gmail, Maps and the Play Store. Thank goodness for Xposed!
