Under display and gestures option I have sleep set at never turn off and Stay Awake is checked also , under developer options I have stay awake checked. Under wifi I have high performance mode and keep Wifi on during sleep chosen. And still this POS keeps going to sleep. Does anybody have a solution for this ? thanks
Why would anyone want the phone to stay awake and drain the battery?
Stay awake is only for when charging. If you have the display Timeout set to never and it is still turning off you have problems.

There's an app by runks on the play store called stay awake. It'll do what you ask.
I leave my display on with a recipe up so I don't have to keep unlocking it with floury hands

What do you care why they want to do this? If you don't have helpful information don't post! Geeesh, I'm sick of wasting my time reading these types of posts on forums, it just makes finding answers difficult and time consuming.

Hey everyone
Does anyone here use tasker or have any recommended profiles to help save battery life?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try Juice Defender with 3g control enabled.
I have mine set to enable every 30mins with good results..
With LOTS of syncing enabled, i get roughly 1% an hour decrease whilst on standby!! Unplugged at 1am on 89% when i went to bed, at 9am when i got up it was at 81%...
Hope this helps!
Dickie
Check WIKI on Tasker site,data profiles created by "brandall" from XDA
Tasker data profiles are better than Juice Defender
JuiceDefender has some annoying bugs in it at the moment (some like issues it has with lockscreen/display timeout) have been around for 4months+ and they still haven't sorted them out) so I've switched to Green Power which seems to do the job very well. Simple and no fuss.
Hi. Anyone here good at creating profiles?
I would like some help. If i want a profile that:
IF screen has been locked for 1 minute, i want WiFi to shut down.
And when i unlock the phone again, i want it to turn on.
But - i don't just want a "toggle wifi by hitting powerbutton"-function,
I only want this to apply if i had wifi on in the first place.
The reason i want this profile is:
If i forget to charge the phone at night, and have wifi going, i have 20% less battery when i wake up. Or if im at a friends house, connected to a wifi... well, same here. If it just lays in my pocket connected to X, i want it to shut down when screen is off. Saves alot of juice.

why dont you use tasker for that,
you can do almost anything with that app.
Creating profiles in tasker isn't a huge difficult task, its easy, Just use trial n error to see if it works.

Why don't just use the stock android checkbox in settings that's there for that? o_ô
Go to settings/network and wifi/wifi settings/hit the menu button and tap advanced parameters/wifi sleep politic/check "when screen goes off".
It does exactly what you described...

Okay, i'll try to find a way on my own..
The reason i don't use androids built-in thing for that is because it drains battery for some strange reason.

Well mine is working fine, no draining at all (wifi on 24h24 with this option checked and my phone drain only 1% every 5 or 6h if the screen is off). The thing is that it shut off the wifi only if no app needs it, so my bet is that those who have a battery drain just have some apps that don't let the phone going in deep sleep.

Hi, if you try LLAMA app instead I could talk you through it (as your not getting an answer you want).
As far as I can tell, LLAMA can do everything that tasker and locale can do but its free. It's also very good on your battery and can use cell towers instead of gps for location.

Not sure if I'm in the right place, new to smartphones. Got myself a Galaxy S2 and rooted it. Main point,
I'm using Tasker and I'm trying to have it set so that it's in Airplane Mode when I have an Alarm set so I get no calls/texts during my slumber.
So far, best thing I've done is the phone goes to Airplane Mode between 00:00 and 0600 everyday as well as when light levels are between 0 and 28 - not sure if the light levels are like, set too low.
So far I love Tasker but very little support online and Tasker Wiki doesn't really help. Trying my best with the trial and error method.
Thanks

Good shout on Green Power. I've had some issues with Juice Defender Ultimate lately and Green Power seems to do more or less the same without the issues.
£1.50 well spent - cheers for the tip

hi,
i'm using "setting profiles".
in the market you have a free and a payment app.
the developers answer the emails at decent speed...
whats up xda I use to get excellent battery life but about 2 weeks ago phone started dying after about 7 hours of use. I checked the battery usage and noticed that the screen was using a lot of battery and on the status the up time is a 100% it seems like it doesn't go to sleep anymore there is no delay from the press of the power button. please help and thanks on advance
Get an app called better battery stats and it will show which apps are causing wake locks (phone not sleeping). As far as display turn the brightness all the way down and it saves battery.
EDIT** here is a download to the app. http://db.tt/j3cJNHra

It is definitely a "dirty" little app holding your phone captive with a wakelock. Find it and kill it the app mentioned above does work.

Thanks guys for that app, it says facebook and the stock music is wake lock. Deleted facebook and ill see if that works if not ill just have to root and delete the stock music. As for the brightness of the screen should i just set it all the way down or set it on automatic?
Hi,
Seems that since 4.0.4 Stock, my phone is awake the majority of the time the screen is off.
I haven't got any apps that can check wakelocks and wondered if anyone can think of anything that will cause the phone to be awake for most of the time the screen is off.
From the battery stat graphs it seems the phone's awake 75% of the time the screen is off.
Battery drain when phone is off seems really high as battery went from 30% to 10% in 8 hours with data off and the phone on 3G
Cheers
Biff.
Post your battery info screenshots.
Use BetterBatteryStats to check whats keeping the phone awake.
Sure thing, whats the best way to attach a screenshot in these forums?
Will give that app a go, thanks

Is wifi turned on? The phone cannot go to sleep if wifi is on.
So im on stock rom jellybean unrooted, i dont sync anything its turned off i update stuff as i use it like facebook, email etc.Im sure if you check i won be the only one having this issue .The other night i was night shift and as phone signal is very poor in areas i work i often put my phone in airplane mode to save the battery.I did this the other night and noticed as soon i cam out of AP mode and started to use the phone the battery lost about 10% in the space of 5/10 mins.So i lookeed at battery useage.
You can seen from the first pic the screen was off and and wifi/network disabled yet something kept the phone awake.In the second shot it happens again later on in the morning,and during the time the phone appears to wake randomly even though screen is off etc
So last night put the phone on charge over night and when i took it off charge same thin happened battey dropped alot, this time screen was off but wifi/network on see pic 3 , it randomly wakes and sleeps
any ideas how to stop this as its draining my battery massively
Get betterbatterystats (search xda).
Then run the app and let phone sit for about 1 hour unused.
Then post the main screen, kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks here.

I noticed Dropbox sometimes keeps the phone awake indefinitely, although everything was completely sync'ed. Check the usage.

What would be the point in putting it in AP mode?
Then its not gonna track your normal usage, granted leaving it over night is a GREAT idea, but putting it in AP mode is just counter-productive?

No airplane mode please. Just leave it as it is.
ok no probs leave it as it is, should i have wifi or 3g on normally switch them off when not using them
Keep wifi enabled, that may reveal some apps that keep phone awake by syncing.
I have a similar problem. An analysis with BetterBatteryStats showed that what keeps my phone awake most of the time is
GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndPoint
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately, I haven't found yet a way to solve the problem.
Google now is off, gtalk is offline, location reporting is off, Play store updates is off, Admob is off.
As you, I sync almost everything manually. That wakelock is there even if I turn off autosync.
The last thing I tried was resetting to factory defaults. That wakelock was there even without inserting my google account.
So, long story short: I wish you that your problem is not GTALK_ASYNC_CONN. Otherwise it will drive you crazy.
so heres my stats from over night.off charge for about 6 hrs and lost 4%,no long periods of it being awake like before but as you can see it is being awake at regular intervals,had wifi and network on
hope this is usefull

Guys, so I have noticed that overnight my phone uses only small amount of battery 2-3% but during the day when I carry the phone in my pocket my phone discharges a lot faster about 10% per hour or so. I make sure that not much is running in the background but still it looks like doze is not on during the day. Is doze feature suppose to turn on only at night? Do I have to set up something or how do I turn it on manually?
Thanks
Doze only happens when your phone is left unattended, it won't happen in your pocket
After 30 min untouched unmoved
Is there a way to turn it on manually? Would no interruptions mode turn it on possibly?

You can change the time but I won't recommend it 30 min is good bcoz if you use like 5min so after every 5min device will use all sensors to. Check if its in use or not.
Is there a way to take away the sensor requirement for Doze? It would be nice if the 5X could go into Doze after 20 min. of inactivity, regardless of what the sensors say.
Edit: found Naptime app by Franco!
