AudioMix Wakelock on Stock KitKat - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I have a N7 2013 on stock KRT16S, and my biggest wake lock is AudioMix.
I'm rooted, using Greenify, and I even have Google Search uninstalled. I am not using GEL. People suggested turning touch sounds off, and I tried that too, but it didn't work.
Tried doing a search, and it seems like there's a lot of people who're affected by it, but very few people talking about it. All the references I could find:

"BTW, what is this AudioMix wakelock? Is this like Audiut2 on the Nexus 4? Keyboard sounds or any sounds = wakelock? I also find it odd that considering I use my phone on vibrate 98% of the time, that the on my Nexus 4 and older phones, the speaker turns on when I press any button my phone. I thought system sounds wouldn't turn on? Quite interesting. Even in silent mode, the speaker turns on. I know this because my Nexus 4 speaker used to crack everytime it would turn on. To me that's an unnecessary wakelock that should ONLY happen if you're not in silent or vibrate."
Found one post on XDA by someone that seems to have a bit of a clue.

"Yup, perfectly normal. AudioMix is the new wakelock for audio (previously was AudioOut_2, if I recall correctly) and PowerManagerService is just a kernel wakelock cause by apps syncing in the background. Mine ends up around 30 minutes after a whole day of usage."
If anyone has more ideas, please elaborate and help out.

My Nexus 7 has the same problem.
AudioMix wakelock and no deep sleep.
I checked my running apps and noticed that currents keeps an active AudioPlayerService.
After killing the process deep sleep is working again.
So atm the solution for my Nexus is to kill the process everytime i used currents.

It's still persistent on 4.4.1... wake time seems to have decreased by a bit, but still there.

Hey guys, I'm having the same problem here, using CM11 (11-20140107-NIGHTLY-i9300) on Galaxy S3, and I guess I figured out the problem.
I looked a bit on some forums and found out that unchecking the touch sounds may solve the problem.
I just disabled all the system sounds and verifying with Wakelock Detector realized the counts stopped.
The problem here seems to be stopped here, maybe I add some updates later.
PS: I'm a little bit sad about disabling the touch sound, I was liking it so much
PS2: Sorry if you didn't understood something I wrote, I'm live in Brazil and I don't pratice so much my English.

Hi
Maybe a clue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49781738&postcount=55
Have a look to MusicFX and DSP Manager.
It seems to be one of the two options in sounds Settings/Music effect ..
i don't like having a DSP running all the time (an active module to process sound) so i disabled them !

Im on a Tmo S3 running OctOS. I noticed the Audiomix wakelock only goes up on my phone when there are notifications or the ringtone is on. It creates a separate instance for each. If I'm streaming music from Slacker, nothing. Poweramp...nothing. Just notifications and ringtones. What that means? I do not know.

[Q] Please help with battery issue

I'm running ICS Passion with Kiss kernel 2.2 right now. My battery has always been iffy however, so i don't think it's the ROM.
I'd appreciate any help though:
This was last night. battery was fully charged at around 3 am.
I killed all apps.
by 11 am with very little use, it was down to 10%

When i look at the Top Apps, nothing looks like it's using too much CPU, so i'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone explain?
Why would i lose so much battery, when it looks like the phone was sleeping?
What am i missing here?
Thank you!
Have u tried a app call CPUSPY?
Its in the play store (android market)
That app let's u see if your phones really in deep sleep...
Hi krackerjac,
Thanks for the advice. I installed CPU Spy this morning....
1000 MHz 7% 0.35.45
200MHz 89% 6.51.47
no deep sleep, even though i didn't use the phone mch all day.
System Panel shows a 100% drop in 8 hours.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
It should be on deep sleep most of the time. What background apps are you running?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
That's what I can't figure out. I think google sync is always on, From the Top Apps screen of System Panel, it seems that system and system processes are the highest consumers, but I'm not sure how else to tell?
Download Watchdog and see what apps are using your CPU. Also, turn off auto sync, as they might be keeping the phone awake by constantly trying to fetch new emails, contacts, etc.

I have Watchdog. it says Android System 5.4%, System UI 1.6%, Google Services Framework 1.0%. Everything else is below 1%
With auto-sync, is there a way to control this automatically. For example, i don't need autosync to operate between 1 and 7am, but want it to turn on again at 7am, and need it on the whole day so i can get my emails.

I don't think so, you can change the frequency of the fetching(updating) however. Or put the power control widget on your home screen and turn it on when you need to, and off when you don't.

Ugh, must've been a part of TouchWiz or LG's skin, because I cant find it off of the stock app.

Try the Icy Glitch Kernel and see if that helps with battery life.
Also, try the AOKP rom, its more or less the same thing as Passion, but works a lot better than Passion did, at least for me.
Ended up downloading an app called Better Battery Stats. Found that my GPS location provider was running down the battery. This was because the Beautiful Widgets was set to geolocation, and so gps was pretty much running all the time.
Much better battery life now.
Thanks for all your help!

[Q] Mediaserver drain - normal or not?

Hey guys, I've flashed Res. Remix 2.5.3 a few days ago, with default fluxi kernel, and everything is working pretty darn nice.
However, the other night a watched a 2.5 hours long concert on the youtube app (wifi of course), and I can see that in my battery stats the process Mediaserver has drained a lot of battery. See the pics below:

}
The sudden drop of battery level at about 3 hours in doesn't matter (I was playing Temple Run and the phone froze and had to pull the battery out). The relevant point is the Mediaserver drain compared to the Screen drain. Is this normal? (note that the Mediaserver drained the battery only when I had the screen on; it's not a wakelock that prevents the phone from deep idle)
Once I had similar problem, there was somethnig that drains my juice. Its my habit to put my earbud before I sleep and usually the power is around 50%+ and to my surprise when I woke up my phone was dead. So I checked my status and my phone was awake the whole night. Even that my Media Player is already off when one album is finished playing.
To cut the story short, I uninstalled the apps especially those requires internet connection and sync. Then try to observe your phone if it will continue to drain.
Media server keeps your phone awake while playing media files.
Perfectly normal. It's classed as any audio, such as music, YouTube, etc.

I just registered to XDA trying to find a solution to this problem. Currently on Paranoid Android ROM 1.6a. I agree that the way the media server works is normal. but there is an obvious bug where it keeps re-scanning or mis-handling some specific file which causes it to skyrocket on the battery use. I have been using the PA ROM with great battery until suddenly the media server started eating away my battery. From what I have read so far, this seems to be a bug that's been around for quite a while. Since I have not updated my music collection on my SD card for a while, the only other culprits are either some of the new apps I installed included some media file that is causing the weird behaviour from the media server or some photo or current music file that suddenly went corrupt or similar scenario. The 'fix' is supposed to be removing all your media and go one by one until you see the spike, or even just do a full wipe and re-install and keep a watch on what you install to see if you find the app that caused the spike. Another option is to add .nomedia to almost all directories except photos, videos and music and it also should improve the issue. I personally won't go over 4000 songs and 1000 photos just to fix the battery drain. I am following quite a few forums in hope that someone will find a proper fix.

[Q] Wakelock on S3 HELP

Hi everyone.
Just being curious and wanted to ask if these wakelocks are normal during deep sleep on the S3.
Google services are always at the top count and I have no idea why because I've already signed out/turned off sync in most Google related apps. (ie. Google+, gtalk, network location, etc.)
Facebook is also quite suspicious as I didn't get any notification from Facebook on that day as my refresh interval on manual.
Here are some screenshots.

}
As you can see, I'm getting 116 wakelocks from Google services and 74 from Facebook in 10 hours plus, sometimes it hits even higher count in lesser time frame.
My S3 is stock without rooting.
Can someone help me on this?
Regards
P.S 372 wakelocks for Google services.

116 wake ups, not wake locks.
It would be a wakelock if it were held for a period of time.
You are always going to have wake ups (alarms) and wakelocks, you just need to find the ones that shouldn't be there.
My advice is get rid of the Facebook app, it is the biggest piece of **** to ever be released to the public, its a known battery hog.
also download betterbatterystats from xda for a more accurate account of your wakelocks.

I thought they were the same thing. Bahhh.
I'm still very new to Android so I hope you guys can bare with me. (;
Please look at the second screenshot on the OP, 372 wakelocks. Can anyone explain this?
Can someone also explain about the included packages and processes?

It's not 60% left, it drained from 93% to 33% in 10 hours plus. Around 3 hours screen on time with quite a heavy usage.
- 3G cellular data on for the whole time
- Asphalt 6 for half an hour
- offline GPS navigation for half an hour
- maximum volume music playback through speaker for around 3-4 hours
- internet browsing for around 1 hour
- whatsapp for the whole time with breaks
The rest was just on idle.
Is this bad?

[Q] Nexus 9 Randomly Powers Off

I have a weird issue with my nexus. About a week ago I was using it bed time with about 50% battery, put it down and woke up next day and battery was completely depleted. I was watching a flash video so I thought maybe Puffin running flash could cause this so I ignored it. (maybe it continued to run in the background)
Today however, I wrote up to find out my Nexus had turned off again over night without the battery being depleted. It's as if it decided to turn off on its own. I want doing anything fancy with it either. Was just browsing, put it on my desk, wake up next day and it was turned off.
Had anyone else got this issue? Or have an idea what might be wrong,?
It actually happened to me again last night. Is there a log file somewhere I can have a look at that does system crashes or something before I RMA it?

On the shield there is an auto shutdown feature where you can have the tablet shutdown after a given duration of inactivity.
I don't know if there is a similar setting on the Nexus 9 but it may be a possibility.

Dont think the Nexus has such option
My Nexus 9 has done this a few times. Last night I started a movie in bed, couldn't finish it, so I went to bed. I woke up and went to check my tablet and the double tap wouldn't wake it up. I had to hold the power button down for 30 seconds before It booted.
Ok, @ombadboy, could you please show a screen shot of settings/battery/Usage.
This should show a list of apps which are consuming your battery. From the one which most consumes it to the least.
Then just to make sure also post a screenshot of settings/apps/running.
From this we can see which apps have highest running priority, and are using too much RAM.

Doze doesn't seem to work

Hello, everyone!
With the new update on Android 6.0 I was pretty curious to see how the new feature "Doze" will work.
Unfortunately it seems that it's not working for my device.
Can you please give me some advice to figure out a solution?
Here is a screenshot, showing my battery stats.

I tried changing the WLAN frequency to 2,4 GHz, but nothing happened.
The battery only drops very slowly when deactivating WLAN... But that can't be the Doze feature, isn't it?

Here's an app that let's you adjust your doze settings. Maybe you can use it to make your N9 doze sooner and longer.

There is a known issue with DOZE and WIFI on the Nexus 5 that affects some but obviously not all.
I had the same problem on my N5 that was resolved by completely disabling WIFI.
I don't have any issues with Doze on my N9 but I do have wifi set to off when screen is off and device isn't plugged in so maybe that's an option as well.

That second option sounds interesting. So you know if this setting (WiFi set to off when screen is off) affect apps like Spotify? It should not interrupt the playback via Spotify when screen will be off.
I'm asking because I can't try it at the moment. A friend of mine got my tablet until Sunday...
Sent from my HTC One (M7)
It's in the advanced wifi settings and it's actually called "Keep WIFI on during Sleep" and the options are always, only when plugged in and never.
I actually went back and looked at the pic you posted and it looks are though you got 4+ days of life (uplugged around Nov 4th and looks like it is around Nov 8th) and you are still at 28%.
I don't think there is anything abnormal assuming the tablet was indeed in use periodically during that time.
My tablet, when NOT in use at all (sitting in a drawer) will consume around 3% battery over a 15 hour window. But that can drastically change if I use it at all during that time.
