get BetterBatteryStats free version available here on xda
pick partial wakelocks
Pvy.

And after you see that AlarmManager in 1st place in BetterbatteryStats :cyclops:, connect the phone to PC, open ADB ant type: adb shell dumsys alarm > C:\alarm_log.txt
After that see in this generated log file what exact app has the highest wake numbers.

thanks guys!
your recommendation for BetterBatteryStats led me to a great app; badass battery, which is exactly what i was looking for.
:good:

This is exactly what I was looking for! Now I just need someone that explain to me what "adb" is so I can run it in my pc... Do I need the phone to be in debuggin mode?

[Q] wake-up on KH3

Hi,
first, i have to tell you that I'm really surprised about the battery life. I've never experienced more battery life on any firmware before (when I'm not using the wifi connection).
But I've also got some questions, e.g. about the wakeup. It feels strange, the phone wakes up, but it was in idle, no wifi connected or display on...
Another questions is, on KD3, using Juice Defender the battery drain over night (approx. 8h) was only 1-2%, but now around 7-8%. And I also use the Juice Defender with same settings!?!?
Is it correct or what could be the problem and how to fix it?
I'm on stock OXAKH3, CF-Rooted and just removed the usual apps listed in the thread "apps secure to remove" in this forum, with root explorer...
thanks for any suggestions, your help is much appreciated.
Something is going on background. To see what is going on in background install Better Battery Stats and see under 'Partial Wakelocks'. Then you could uninstall it/freeze/modify it as per your need.

Regards.
thanks for your quick response and the link. it seems to be the solution for my wake-up problem...
I've installed this app, but maybe i'm stupid – For me this app isn't very intuitive.
I'm staring at the whole bunch of entries, but couldn't find any mysterious tasks?
I don't know how to use this app. Are there any alternatives?

Keep checking the Partial Wakelocks option, if anything is going on background you should see it there.
the one on the top of the list consumed the most cpu time, so one of them may be your battery drainer. Open the app, select "wake locks" and look at the top of the list.
yepp, that's what I meant... the top entries are
*network-location* Android-System with 27m 5s – 0,4%
*network-location* Google Services with 26m 16s – 0,4%
JuiceDefender.Service with 15m 57s – 0,3%
hmm, it's curious - this seems not to be the wake-up problem posted before. also how to change those system entries? this could not be the problem, or?
just to inform you, after deinstalling the app getjar, everything works fine again...
and this process or app wasn't listed within betterbatterystats, i think.
thanks anyway.

[Q] Battery usage only displaying standard processes

Hello,
I am on XXLPQ 4.0.3 with Siyah Kernel. Lately I noticed that the battery usage details do not show any apps anymore, but only "standard processes". For example I am playing a game or using google navigation for some hours, which uses a lot of battery, but the battery monitor then only shows display 83%, although a lot of battery was used not by the display being on but by a certain app.
I am not sure when exactly this started, but I do remember that I saw a lot of different apps in the battery view, now it is only display, calls, android system and so on.
Does anyhone have a clue what could be the reason and how to "fix" this?

This happens because the standard Android battery monitor is far from reliable.
Download Better battery stats (paid but free on XDA) or GSam battery monitor (free, paid) if you need accurate battery monitor

just check once, by wiping battery stats in recovery then do fixpermissions reboot the phone and see afterwards the same
Thanks, I wiped battery stats and fixed permissions, but unfortunately that did not change a thing, still only seeing the same 5 processes in the battery overview.
I know better battery stats and also use that to check for wakelocks, but I'd still like to use the built-in funcitonality for a quick overview.
Any other ideas?

If you are bent in using the inbuilt battery monitor, the only solution is by updating your kernel to latest version or Changing the kernel to another
Good luck

[Solved] high wakelock/keep awake

i have an htc rezound running wildstang83s cm10.1, a HIRO based kernel, and amonra recovery. I don't have any apps that are out of the ordinary but for some reason my keep awake is 10:14:44 and the screen has been on 00:15:45... Its annoying because im chewing through battery life like nothing. I check CPU spy and I only entered deep sleep for 4% of the time and my cpu was running at 1728 (max) for 73.7% of the time. any help is greatly appreciated! perhaps I have some foolish setting enabled... i believe i disabled all syncing/updating
under apps installed I have:
andromouse
battle.net authenticator (key fob for battle net)
cheezburger
chrome
cpu spy
facebook
google+
kernel tuner
pageonce
You need to install an app like Better Battery Stats that will tell you which apps are giving you wake locks.

got it, going to let it run all night like usual and see what it says. ill be back in this thread in a couple of hours to let you know if i see anything suspicious
looks like the GPS was causing the wakelocks even though it was disabled. I re-enabled and disabled and then did a battery pull reboot. battery life is much better now! better battery stats really is an indispensable tool

Wakelock detector easy question.

I installed wakelock detector as a sistema without knowing what it does.
And how can I get rid of it pls.
Because now I'm getting a huge drain of battery and I want to know which app is sucking my battery.
Thanks.
Go to settings > Apps > Hit WD and uninstall it.
This app has almost no impact on battery life. BTW check the BetterBatteryStats thread on XDA to get further help.

Phone not going into deep sleep

What can I use to check to see what's causing my phone to not go into deep sleep mode at night or during the day. My batter all of the sudden is draining way too fast and almost dies at night.
Inside your settings there should be app called battery/ device health/ digital well being
It keeps track of app usage and battery drainage (this works if you dont have custom mods)
next it could be that your device is running in performance mode the whole time

I have power-saving mode turned off. I'm not sure about the app listed above. I don't see anything in settings. I just installed Better Battery Stats which I used to use a long time ago to see if that can tell me anything.

But better battery stats will use more of your battery since its logging everything, all the time. And has your phone always been draining fast or is this something new?

I know it will but I can at least see what's going on for the short term. No, this just seemed to start about a week ago so I'm trying to figure out what new apps I may have installed.

Leave power management disabled; ID and deal with each battery hog on a case by case basis.
Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker can be useful.
Karma Firewall. Package Disabler (not on Playwhore).
For starters:
Google backup Transport, Framework and Google Firebase... prime suspects.
Playstore, wretched apk it is.
Google play Services is another one to watch, try disabling it. A lot of apps are dependencies of it.
Any cloud apps.
All carrier, Google, Samsung and app feedback
WhatsApp, FB, etc, take out the trash.
Carrier update app, kill it if you don't want OTA updates jammed down your throat.

Would it be possible to explain to me why have an S21 if not to deactivate everything and make it a Nokia 3310. Stop using a smartphone, I have the solution ........... .
And if you have twrp and copy your system and vendore partition files to your pc you can also look in the priv-app section and their xmls to include apps to not run always
