Hi guys,

Please see attached as my phone seems to be awake a lot and using at least a 1/3 more of my battery as I used to get 3 days now I only get 2 days worth...and I've updated to kitkat

When I restart the phone is goes back to normal but eventually comes back again

Any help or ideas would be appreciated

Will

Hi.

Have you performed a hard reset which is something that is suggested that is actioned after a firmware update.

I would too suggest a factory reset it normally cures most problems after an upgrade

It depends what is causing your wakelocks, which I can't see from your screen shots...?
My money would be on an app holding something open but someone recently was having a problem with their modem keeping the phone awake.
If you notice it draining rapidly at any point have a look whats running at that time.
Rebooting with the phone in airplane mode can also help to "reset" a sticky modem.

Thanks for your replies

I have hard resetted when I first updated the firmware which was recommemded and did a software repair when the proximity sensor was being a bit iffy.

It looks like something switches on after awhile and starts producing the above issues because after a restart the phone deep sleeps fine at 90% at a time but after a little while it slowly creeps to below 50% of the time...

Have you downloaded any different apps since the update?

I have mostly reinstalled my apps used previously on Jellybean and uninstalled apps that weren't compatible, the only new ones are Auto Exec and Stay Alive and the above monitoring tools...

Do you suggest using Safe Mode? And there are no indication on the monitoring tools that it's an app, might try Better Battery Stats as that seems to delve more into wakelocks...

None of the battery apps will tell you much more unless you are rooted, if so BBS is the best one to use....
Safe mode will confirm if it is an app you have installed or a system app but still won't tell you which one - any apps using a lot more data than expected too ?

As a jail-breaker I delete my most recent app and work from there if I get some clashing.

I've not noticed anything eating my data but I don't have my data running all the time...

That could be significant if you have apps set to auto sync (Facebook, email, Google etc) as a failed sync will keep on retrying until it gets a data signal.

Make sure all your accounts have sync either off or set to manual.

I've checked I have auto sync off for all accounts and only sync manually

Checked CPU Spy again just now and deep sleep is down to about 30% now

Yeah but it won't be high if you keep checking the phone....
Charge it and leave it overnight on airplane mode, then check it in the morning.

Morning, I did what you suggested

And these are the screenshots...

As you can see no change, the last image shows that my phone was awake all night...

Might have to eliminate apps one at a time as switching off all google services makes no difference!

The last one is showing 5 mins up time and the other stats appear to be cumulative over a 3.5 day period (87 hours).
What I meant for you to try was to reset everything and leave phone turned on in airplane mode....

Do you mean factory reset? I'm only going to do that as a last resort as I've already done it twice...

Re: Z1 Compact doesn't go to Deep Sleep...

No, I just meant reset the stats so you were just showing usage for the most current time period. At the moment you are averaging out over almost 4 days so you would expect all values to be lower over a longer period of time.

Well I restarted my phone after removing apps that are constantly on except stuff like whatsapp and the phone is working as normal and sleeps normally as per attached

Now hopefully in a few hours it'll be the same when I'll install some the apps later on...

Hi guys,

Just an update, the problem came back after several hours but managed to pinpoint the problem apps/services and found out it was one of two apps which is Google Play Services which I've uninstalled the updates to factory version and Bluetooth services which was on for 4 hours (removed cache)

And now my phone finally started to go to Deep Sleep...

Might have to reinstall Google Play Services...
