Wakelock Detector 1.4
Ever wondered why your smartphone screen doesn’t turn off automatically when it should have, the screen wakes up all of a sudden or you find your phone battery drained even when you exited apps and turned off the screen? This might be due to wakelock holding apps.”Wakelock Detector” helps you to detect battery consuming applications in your Android device by checking wakelock usage history. Now you can find out which applications drain your battery in a simple way by using this app!
"Wakelock detector" is our goal to simplify detecting wakelock issues for an ordinary user. As you know, wakelocks have enormous impact on battery life.
Some applications they use cpu in the background even while your phone screen is off. There are many reasons for that. They might be synchronizing data, polling for new messages, playing music, downloading data and so on. This is called "Partial wake lock".
And some applications hold your screen on to prevent turning off while you are playing game or reading e-book or watching movie.. This one is called "Window wake lock"
And finally, "Full wake lock" which can keep your screen at full brightness, and it can turn on your hardware key LED on.
People have problems mostly with "Partial" wakelock and it is not possible to detect them with default battery statistics app. Wrong settings(e.g Android Backup turned on), developer bug (wakelock acquired but was not released) or hidden operations (collecting data on background) can lead to wakelock issues which eventually drains the battery.
Wakelock detector groups the wakelocks by the app name to which it belongs. This makes it easy to see what app is draining your battery. Also, it shows which apps are currently running. The reason why we added this feature is , imagine that you have your screen turned on automatically and you don't know which app holding your screen on. In this case, it is helpful to see which app is currently running and holding wakelocks.
All the wakelock statistics are shown since phone reboot. Note that if you unPlug USB Cable when the battery is more than 90%, the battery statistics will be reset.

Hi all,
Is there any app to kill apps that are causing wakelocks above a certain amount of time?
I don't know if you experience this problem, but sometimes whatsapp goes into a wakelock called "fullsync" which basically knackers the battery. If I am lucky, I can detect this early and do a reboot
If I am not lucky, it just eats away the battery, major bummer.
Watchdog doesn't really kill apps if it is not using CPU power isn't it? This whatsapp wake lock doesn't use CPU power, it just sucks battery from nowhere
change Kernel mate.
Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.

Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'
I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents

I don't understand my high awake time. I posted some samples. I've much more awake time than my display is on, but I don't understand why.
Kernel wakelocks are about 15 min total, Partitial wakelocks are about 7 minutes, only a few alarms. My Processes consume only seconds of cpu time.
How can i find out what is reponsible for this high awake time? Are there other tools than BBS, CpuSpy and Elixir2?
Is there any way to monitor the phone during sleep/standby what causes awake time?
Your pictures didn't come.
Is sync on, running a location program? Installed any apps recently?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Pictures are now available. Sync is on, no location Program running. No New Apps
Your WIFI is running all the time. Might want to turn on option in advanced settings to turn off wifi automatically after screen is off few mins.
Yep, WiFi. And is your GPS on? If your network provider doesn't offer fast dormancy, you should go on and disable it also.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
are you using apps like screen off or something like that?
Wifi off has no effect on awake time, GPS is only active when used. VF provides fast dormancy.
What causes awake time? I see nothing in BBS?
I use a screen off app. But i don't see any difference when using power button, screen off by app or timeout

I've no problem with battery drain. Overnight with wifi connected (no 3g data) consumes less battery than 3g connection.
My problem is the awake time because i dont' see any cause why this is that high.

That is the culprit
Screen off app dont put your phone into deep sleep but instead it turns off your screen but still awake, meaning use physical power button if you want to put your phkne into deep sleep. And also make sure you close all apps in the multitask or recent apps

I tested it. There is no difference beetween power button and my screen off app (force_lock permission). Both shut down the device and enter deep sleep.
Any other ideas?

I supposed your using BBS? You told me that when you shutdown the device it enter deep sleep? So how in the world you have high awake time if your phone is in deep sleep?
Here try this:
Make a BBS widget in your homescreen bcoz it is more understandable than entering the app itself. You will see deep sleep time and awake time and screen on time in there. Then try to shutdown using power button then after 5mins check if your deep sleep counter goes up, then try your screen off app then after 5mins check if deep sleep counter goes up if not then its different.
Or maybe your wifi or mobile data is on gps is active.

I have these two apps(in image below) to lock my screen , for a very long time. But i find a bug in both of them. That when i click them to lock the screen the screen turns back on at delay of around .5 sec. So is there any way to fix this or any other good app.

it might be because of a wakelock.. put a logcat and reproduce the scenario.. and check the logs to identify the wakelock.. if this issue is getting into your nerves.. install the Wakelock Detector app to find out which apps are producing the maximum wake locks in your phone..

Frankly i don't think that it is due to wakelocks of other apps. Some time before i have tried uninstalling this app and used only my power button to lock and unlock(for a week or so) and the screen never turned on by itself. So i think its a bug in those apps only. I have e mailed the situation to dev of this app but no reply.

Ok.. thats interesting.. If the developer responds, send him a logcat while reproducing the issue.. it will make his debugging more easy..
I'm trying to find the best apps possible to save as much battery life as I can for when I go camping.
I'm hoping my phone would last me for at least 2 days ( won't be playing games on it, only using it for calling and flash lights and stuff )
I found Greenify but I'm not sure how you use it.
Do I just tap on the app I want to hibernate and that's it?
I'm also using SetCPU so when I turn off my screen my CPU would get clock down to the slowest speed.
I'm also using ZDBox so that when my screen is off it would kill any task running.
With Greenify, should I hibernate SetCPU and ZDBox?
What other general phone setting can I set to save as much battery life as possible? (I still need data and stuff)
Just enable the built in battery saver, bring screen brightness down and disable mobile data when you aren't using it. You should get like 3 days on battery that way. Just remember screen use is the largest battery drain.
