- Thread starter ahikmat
- Start date
Hi guys, I am having very bad battery life caused by some wake lock that I can't figure out how to solve, I left the phone over night after a full charge and lost 70% in 7h... Already uninstalled Facebook messenger but I had the problem even before installing it... Can someone help me? I am using a nexus 5 stock rooted with xposed installed.

Wakelock detector PC Beta version
Google has made it very hard to access to wakelock statistics starting from KitKat (Android 4.4)
Only Rooted phones can read wakelock statistics.
There were many requests from not rooted phone users to see wakelock statistics.
That is why, as an alternative way PC version of Wakelock detector has been developed.
It is on beta stage now, there are still missing few features.
Requirements:
.NET Framework 4
Phone USB drivers must exist, this app gets statistics through "adb"

I'm on a CM11 based ROM but I'm getting FC when opening this app.
I've already tried installing the apk in this thread but no luck.
Here's logcat:

I've used this app with great success in tandem with greenify on both my Note 2 and 3 to increase battery life. Right now, I am having an issue where my phone vibrates seemingly at random with no other notification. Is there a way for me to use WLD to identify the offending app or process?
If not, could anyone suggest an alternative method to solve this problem? Thanks

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.

Wakelock detector 1.5.7, supports KitKat (rooted, also for non-rooted phones with few steps)
New permission added:
[INTERNET] - WLD does not consume any traffic, this permission is needed for adb self connection purpose
([BOOT] - this permission will be added for calculating screen on time for non-rooted kitkat phones)
Starting from kitkat we retrieve wakelock stats from "dumpsys", that is why your phone either needs to be ROOTED or you need to have adb access to your phone itself.
KitKat owners with ROOTED phones
Run WLD, allow ROOT at first run. It is preferred to check "remember it" option
KitKat owners with NON-ROOTED phones
This option takes few steps to accomplish, but this is the only way to see wakelock stats for non-rooted kitkat phones.
In android phones, by default adbd listens to USB port, we need to change it to listen tcpip for establishing adb connection.
for that we need to run "adb tcpip 5555" from PC. For Windows OS, usb drivers need to be installed. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Install one of these light adb on your PC:
Windows: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Mac/Linux: https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/
Enable "developer option" on your phone (it is in settings window , if you don't see it click "Build version" 7 times on "About" section)
Run "adb tcpip 5555" from command line.
Then install "Terminal emulator" on your phone and run "adb kill-server" , "adb devices" and confirm self-connection.
You can follow these slides for details: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1r3VlhZIZVSufZlAeICJet6QBtyAF7z06_ysl1kUKME4/edit?usp=sharing
We are working to make single-click PC app.
If you could have better idea to optimize these steps, share it with us! Thank you!
[updated apk]
Big thanks to Sordna for helping to improve WLD and RootTools performance!29After the recent Google's update for KitKat 4.4, I am discouraged and disappointed with Google's actions against developers.
I think "wakelock" info must be available for all Android users, because it is their property. They should be able to know what is happening to their phone while they are not using it.
Until KitKat the apps like BBS, Gsam and WLD gave users all these detail statistics from Google's hidden battery statistics repositories.
But starting from KitKat, they completely restricted it. Only the ROOTed users might be able to see the wakelock statistics for now. They might even disable it also in the future.
I wrote email to the person who did this. But no effect.
...
I have some idea about organizing a public Online(or maybe offline) demonstration against the Google's restricting developers and users from their freedom of knowing the detail battery statistics.
Maybe it sounds dumb, but we could join all together and do something against Google's change.
There are millions of users who resolved wakelock issues and doubled their battery life, who saved their phone from resetting or doing all costly things.
We can use famous social networks like a facebook page, or Google Plus page then
post our demands until we reach Google.
What do you think ? How much are you eager to support this idea.12I got a reply from "Dianne Hackborn" who commited the change
Hi Uzum,
This was never available to third party applications anyway -- the only APIs to access the information protected by it are all hidden, and change across platform versions. Any applications using these private APIs are going to break sooner or later, and we would rather it was sooner.
So I send her reply again, if it does not work, then we will try to catch public attention
Dear Dianne Hackborn,
Thanks for your reply.
We thought over about your reply,
However,
Could you consider discussing about reverting BATTERY_STATS permission's protection level from "androidrotectionLevel="signature|system" to "androidrotectionLevel="dangerous"
We could not find any solution for this issue, Our app can not access wakelock statistics without ROOT, and we don't want to force our users to ROOT their devices.
As users are aware that third-party app is going to access battery statistics,in our opinion this permission can not hurt the user . It just only gives access to power consumption information. We do not see any danger in this.
We are aware that this battery statistics API was hidden, we used reflection to access this info as that was the only choice.
Standard android battery app is good enough, however many users with "no-sleep" issues could not solve their battery draining issues with standard app. Because android's standard battery app does not give detail information.
Fortunately, they found "BBS" or "Wakelock detector" or "GSam battery monitor" and easily found out which rogue apps kept their phone awake from deep-sleep that were causing drastic battery drain.
They need this "wake lock" statistics. That is why there was a big demand for such apps.
In other words, Google is taking away the right from users to see their detail battery statistics.
For understanding how much serious problem is "no-sleep" issue, please take a look below links:
https://www.google.com/search?q=android+no+sleep+issue&oq=android+no+sleep+issue
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/wakelocks-detect-no-sleep-issues-in-android-applications
According to research paper, almost 50% of apps had this "no-sleep" bugs in 2012.
Hopefully, that number dropped by 2013, but still there are apps which mis-use "wake lock" feature and cause drastic battery drain.
Please check out the user feedbacks in "Wakelock detector" for more details.
Since 2013.03.01 We were happy to serve Android users by helping them to resolve their wakelock issues.
They doubled their battery life without going to A/S or Resetting their phones.
Right now, We need your help to help our users which are your users in turn.
Please Help!
Regards UzumApps
