Something keeps waking my phone and turning the screen on.
I have cm10 nightly, juice defender and tasker running but I cannot figure what is waking the phone, when it does there are no incoming messages or emails, no notifications etc.
Is there a log I can check?
Thanks in hope DC

Seems it is the way I have CallMaster configured in Tasker. I think when it wakesit actually goes to the foreground, I have tasker set that if I have an app in the foreground it kills the screen gaurd and sleep.....Thus the screen comes on. Taken CallMaster out of the script and hey presto, no screen wake
Thanks for the help
Bought the batterystat app as it really helped me.
Out of curiosity why are you running juice defender and tasker? Seems redundant when you could achieve what juice defender does with tasker.
Had jd for a long time, not finished programming (or fully understanding tasker) yet, but yep I will be binning jd (its in desperate need of an update is jd).
Been trying to find a good Tasker - JD Profile I can use as a starting base.

Understandable...if you're looking for info on tasker just google "tasker google group" the dev has a group page with all kinds of good info.
Thanks, seen that group, some good info in it.
Shame there are no websites (not the wiki) with profiles that can be downloaded.

Agreed. That would be extremely helpful especially for anyone getting started.
ur phone get waked when it think to be under charge..even the cable is not plugged
check if that the case..when the phone wake u should see the battery charging animation..is it?
if that the case, that a common problem caused by the usb port of ur phone..search around for ghost usb charge
Thanks for the suggestion, no there is no ghost charge, it was an app waking the phone due to my tasker setting.
All sorted now

10 minutes is the maximum that the display timeout can be set to through settings.
Is anyone else not happy with this?
I use Google Maps in my car sometimes and this makes it unbearable. Yes, I know Navigator is available but prefer maps for some uses. I also use a few other apps that I'd rather leave the display on as well.
It's under developer options.

Yes, as long as you're on the charger, you can use the Develper Option "Stay Awake" to prevent the screen from timing out (though I believe it will still dim).
Alternately, there's an app in the market called "Stay Awake" that will remove the screen timeout entirely.
Hmm. Thanks.
So all we have are half fixes and work arounds? It would be nice if it was simply an option.
Shame I have to run an app to turn that off but I guess I will.
I just told you what the option was.

That only works when charging, though.
Check out the application 'screebl'.
I haven't yet tried to put it on my genex yet but it worked flawlessly with my Droid x. It works with the angle and orientation of your phone go keep it on.

I read plenty of comments about deep sleep and people only wasting 2 percent better life over extended periods. However my phone doesn't do this. When I check cpuspy, it does say that it's time is spent in deep sleep but it still waste a sizeable amount. How can I make sure that it enters that energy saving state? And could apps be waking the phone on its own?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
it depends on your setup. yes, apps wake the phone on their own. anything that works in the background can wake your phone, f you have lots of apps with notifications especially.
Would weather interfere with that? I'm running cna and have it on my lock screen. I take it refreshing automatically could do that? Also Google location services?

yes, even widgets that automatically update.
Apps that needs to automatically refresh usually has wake lock. Including built in weather widget

So deactivation of weather, Google, and taking off Facebook and Twitter refresh intervals should solve that?

only uninstalling facebook will help, itll run in the background even if no notifications are set or even if never used. use the browser for facebook, its as good as the app. facebook is a known bad app.

oh yea, but i havent used it. i like tweetcaster.
It's funny when I search around the forums for it, everyone wanted to disable it, but I actually want it. I'm currently running AOKP Build 3 and I was wondering if there was an option for this.
Is there an app for it?
Other people were complaining about how the full charge notification wakes them up in the middle of the night. Were they planning to charge overnight and overcharge? Isn't this bad for the phone or was it just a myth?
Use tasker and create a profile in it for full charge notification. It is quite easy.

Tasker is awesome, but it's a pretty heavy app for a simple "done charging" notification. If no one has put together an app for this, they should.

Are you running stock? Rom? Do you have any app notifications set to "wake" the phone. Also, try ES Task Manager and see what is running when the phone wakes up.

I am stock deodexed lk8 rooted. all notifications should wake the phone (waking is when the software starts processing, not necessarily when the screen turns on)

It shouldn't...unless you allow lots of stuff to run in the background. What is issuing partial wakelocks on your device? Things like Sprint Connections Optimizer, and network-based location will bleed you dry in useless partial wakelocks.
Even leaving data sync-age on, wifi on, GPS on shouldn't unless you're phone is constantly getting email/text notification pings.
Not sure if this is the right place to post it, so sorry if it's not.
Is LightFlow safe? I've read the permissions and they make me.... uncomfortable. How safe is it? Can it access credit card info etc?
Yes its safe.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes and it's an awesome app!
Edit:
I felt I should add more here. All the permissions are so that lightflow knows when to turn on the lights you assign to the apps. That's all. The Dev is stand up and extent helpful. No need to worry.

Been running it since getting my GNex almost a year ago and haven't had an issue. The Dev is on here and is super communicative. Its a must have for anyone with a phone that has a multicolor LED.
I love being able to come up to my phone and immediately knowing it's status without even picking up. My screen time of battery use has probably dropped 20% because of this app.
