Question GSAM Battery Monitor - How to find wakelocks? What is preventing me from deep sleep?

[Utini]

Hello everyone,

initially I had great battery life on my P6P. I then later started to root, add a 2nd SIM card and installed more and more apps (the same ones I already had on my P4 XL).
I can't really say when deep sleep stopped working, but it does not work at the moment.
I am at the stock ROM and Kernel atm, but rooted.

Usually I would start BBS and figure out which wakelock is preventing me from going to deep sleep.
However, BBS doesn't seem to work on Android 12. So I tries GSAM Battery Monitor.

Attached are screenshots from 2 days with GSM Battery Monitor.
It can be seen that the device does not go to deep sleep at all.
The only way to get it into deep sleep atm, is to enable battery saver.
This causes a huge battery drain over a whole day.

This post will contain the screenshots from day #1.
The next post will contain the screenshots from day #2.

Can anyone tell me how to figure out which wakelock / which app / feature / whatever is preventing my phone from going into deep sleep?

Thanks in advance!

And this is day #2 with more detailed screenshots.

@Lughnasadh @RetroTech07 Maybe you can help me here? :S

Thanks!

I also just "Force stopped" pretty much everything under Settings -> All apps (user apps and the few system/google apps that are in the user apps list).

Still no deep sleep

BBS works.. sometimes. You need to stick with it and get the alarms tab to show stats. That should tell you what is keeping it awake. Kernel wakelocks are useless imo. Partial wakelocks and alarms and even network usage perhaps. I have it working but it's sketchy.

Factory reset and don't restore backup.

So you basically install it, grant it root, and then wait until somehow magically starts to show stats?

Ye well there must be a way to troubleshoot this.
Can't just always factory reset because something gets bugged?

Haha, no I don't have root. I just grant the permissions via adb. But "magically" is the key word actually. Here are a few screenshots from just now. The first 2 are pretty usual for a few of the stats but that changes. The second 2 are what I can sometimes get although that varies as well. Every other stat on the app is like the first two, not stats collected. That's what I mean by you have to stick with it. It will magically show randomly. lol Unfortunately, this round didn't show partial wakelocks which means a bunch to me. Tomorrow morning it will show.

Thanks.. I just flashed kirisakura kernel from @Freak07 since I believe that it also block some wakelocks which are enabled on stock kernel. Will try that tomorrow together with AccuBattery.

If that doesn't work, then I will try to get magic by BBS.

If your issue is caused by an app or service (which it sounds like it probably is) constantly running in the background flashing the kernel won't help at all.

Your best bet might be BBS, battery historian (you can take a bug report and then view it there, just google it) or maybe top command.

Well, for now it seems like your kernel fixed the issue though.

I am on 70% deep sleep while screen is off according to accubattery. So I will monitor this through the rest of this day and report back.

Flashing a kernel can't fix issues with apps or services getting stuck in the background.

I guess it was the reboot that helped in the end or whatever was stuck got updated or unstuck some other way.

Hmm really weird. My deep sleep is now also slowly dropping (only at 50% now).
But will see how it ends up after a working day.

I did try reboots before already. It didn't help.
But maybe so far I was working with a mix of several wakelocks which I can now narrow down.
Will try battery historian as recommend by you. Just need to find a decent guide for it first

Install better battery stats ( only kernel wakelocks tab is not working)...to check wakelocks and alarms

 

[xflowy]

whats the differencd between doze and deep sleep? and is there a way in accubattery to find out, if the device is sleeping?

It didn't work for me at all and I just installed it and it still isn't working for me at all.
It has root and according to the permissions tab in the app everything seems to be granted.
I downloaded the RC 2.6-382 from here: https://install.appcenter.ms/users/...stats-xda-edition/distribution_groups/testers

I will let it run for a few hours and check again.

Edit: Oh I just noticed under the permissions tab:
STATUS: Failed: Transaction failed on small parcel; remote process probably died

Any ideas?

In Accubattery under "discharging" check for "deep sleep while screen off".

just found it. is 37% of it, good?

Working for me properly... besides kernel wakelocks
