Ya mine is gone too. I think the days battery usage was not reset when I shared the screen shot. It is gone now

In addition to you can also put lots of app on sleep when they are not in use.

long story to short - 1013 is a media server process.
I'm getting the same problem, how did you solve the problem?
I am having this same issue, different device, but this is the first thread I found with the issue.
Have you been listening to music?

Had anyone figured out what this is? I have not been listening to music at all.

Media is pretty unspecified, could be pictures, videos, not just music

We have got the same problem with Galaxy Note 3, stock rom, rooted. At some point in the night, this *overflow* starts to keep the phone awake and uses 40% of battery in less than 3 hours.
There is no widget on any homescreen.

Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector will help you to figure out what app(s) are causing it.

Unfortunately Wakelock Detector doesn't show anything uncommon. I deinstalled Spotify and Quizduell Premium, rebooted the phone again - and the problem seems to be gone.
This really is strange behaviour and Android should by now be able to find out those problems by itself. This reminds me of Windows, which after over a decade still struggles with problems and you have to install tools to solve them - or reinstall the whole system.
Hi, I know this is an older thread but I've been having the same problem recently and I tried to Google a solution to the problem and found this thread. I too have had high battery drain from Google Services. The phone is basically awake at all times. GSAM Battery Monitor lists *overflow* as the main culprit.
I have location services turned off and I turned off syncing of all accounts except for Gmail. I uninstalled all updates to Google Services and any apps associated with it. I have rebooted the phone multiple times. I'm pretty sure I've tried every battery saving tip I can possibly find and nothing seems to solve the problem. Every now and then I'll get a day of amazing battery life and think my problems are behind me; then it will go back to the same terrible battery life without me changing any settings or changing the way I use the phone.

[Q] Galaxy Note II battery drain -- Polaris constantly running

So my father recently got the GN2, but he's really disliking the battery drain compared to his old iPhone 4. He said that he could finish the day with about 70% battery leftover, whereas, Note leaves him with around 30-40%. I checked his battery usage and there's about 12-17% coming from Polaris 4.0. I already disabled it, but for some reason, it's still draining his battery. Is there anything I can do to improve his overall battery life as well as stop Polaris from being used?
Uninstall it or is it a stock app?

Stock app, unfortunately. I have no intention of rooting it since I haven't done that in a long time and I'm just not confident with messing around with someone else's phone.
Also, I know it's a problem specific to mine since other people don't root there's and they don't have this problem.
Does anyone else know a possible issue?
Try going in and force stopping the app. I noticed apps will continue to run after disabled on occasion. Then reboot and see if it fires up again. That should stop the battery drain. N2 gets great battery life.
Does your father use the app? If not go to settings/application manager select polaris. You should see a disable or uninstall updates button. If it is the updates one, select it then go back in and hit disable button after it is done. This will remove the app from the system but not the app file itself. Will keep it from ever running again until you decide to enable it again. No root needed.

Yeah, I already disabled it. I checked again today and it didn't seem to be draining battery life.
After around 12 hours of use, he only has around 60-65% left. He doesn't use the phone as much as some other people, so I'm surprised it drains as much as it does.
I'd say that's about right on stock with everything running. you could always disable everything he doesn't use and see if that helps. Also check for wake locks. I disabled fast dormancy and saw a major improvement on wake locks. Not sure if that's possible without root, but worth looking in to.

Root, install Better Battery Stats, find the culprit. If uninstalling Polaris doesn't help, it could be something else.
S-Pen detection, motion settings, smart-stay, etc are all drainers. Disable them if he doesn't use them.
Location services drain too. Try installing Autostarts and disable unnecessary startups. I get a good 2-2.5 days out of the phone with ~5+ hours of screen time after doing the above.

Good point on the S-Pen features. I disabled some. His active battery usage is quite good, but he says the standby is terrible.

Best battery saver when screen is off.

Hi! I would like to know what are some good apks for saving battery when the screen is off. I have greenify right now and it works great. I have tried deep sleep battery saver and du battery saver and dont work much for me. I have great battery life but would like to extend it more when screen is off/locked. Thanks!
Get Skyhigh Kernel (root). All the rest is placebo.
Battery life is related to usage patterns, short of underclocking; no app can help you there. Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and all crap you don't need, and turn them on ony when you need them. Change your screen timeout, so it turns off quicker when you put it away.
My ultimate battery saving tip is power off the tablet when you don't need it.
Xposed module Unbounce for screen off battery life.
Thanks guys I use Greenpower now and it does the job. I just wanted something that would disable wifi or gps when Im not useing a certain app after 10mins.
It's mostly sync and/or location. Turn those off and your tablet will actually sleep (and wifi off when sleeping setting).

My Tab S can go weeks with just a tiny % drop. Just disable all the Google crap, there are many threads on it. No greenify or other apps will do as much for your battery life.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah I stopped useing battery saving apps since drain more of your battery. I use greenify to hibernate most of my apps and only wake up till I open it. I will look into disableing some of the google stuffs. Lol I use the bing search app instead of googles.

On my old phone (2.3.4) I used Task Manager from ES
Do I understand you right, that we need both tools you suggested, because there is no "autostart" app that also disables services ?
Could you please give us an idea/list of disabled services and autostarts

The autostarts app just disables apps you dont want on when you just turned on your tablet. They still work when you open them. But for services, there are too many.

Are you using the latest beta?
Some versions of messenger has serious problems with wakelocks. Update if you can.

Both FB and FB Messenger were doing this to me. Have you tried Greenify? It's even better if you're rooted. It puts those apps into hibernation, essentially stopping them from waking up on their own. However, be aware that if you use push features of those apps, then hibernation may not work. There is a workaround for that in the paid Greenify app. Either way, Greenify made the decision to finally root the 5x worth it all on its own.
I'm having the same problem. It started happening a few updates ago.
Started having this problem a few weeks ago...both apps were not letting my device sleep. Ended up deleting both apps...I'm sure greenify would fix the issue, but they definitely did something screwy so it no longer sleeps.

Yap, I tried beta also... Didn't help.
I'm rooted, but greenify...I don't know... It's some kind of workaround, I agree, but than you stay without push. Than suddenly that's not app I wanna use ...
This Android wakelocks really make me sick ...
I used to have loads of wake lock from both the Facebook app and Messenger app. Fixed it by uninstalling and installing again. Not sure if it'll come back again though.

Some people have complained about FB messenger problems due to wakelocks on the 5x. Some have switched to Disa as a workaround.

bad battery drain.

i am having crazy active (27%) and idle (5%) battery drain. using ex kernel manager i can see different wakelocks. i hsve been screwing around with them and haven't made any real progress. is the flash 2.05 still very battery efficient? id my problem isn't solved will ex kernel manager still work for this kernel to set wakelocks, governors, etc? do you recommend another kernel manager instead. i downloaded the wake locks detector app and every time i opened it it just said "failed to complete task at this time." it had SU rights. idk whst the problem was. im having a hard time finding whats all of a sudden doing this to my battery. i did flash some launcher mods. this started right after that. last night i reflashed the developers stock launcher and things looked great. now theyre back at being bad. would a factory reset in twrp allow me to save my data and maybe fix the issue? please help
What apps can I use without wake lock dector functioning. Could I have a virus stopping it from functioning?
Check your cpu consumption. Use exkernel manager or some other tool for the same.

Here's what I'm seeing. Google photos looks to be the culprit. I need that app. What should I do? Uninstall updates and reinstall them? I cleaned the cache for the app but they still stayed at the same levels shown here. Cpu is usually running at 300MHz. It's not shown in the screen shot, but most the of the other cpu consumption is at 1.9GHz. it's like 9% or something. What do I do with google photos?

Edit: i stopped a backup of some stuff on Google photos and the drain is still the same. It's not backup causing the issue. Something else with the app is doing this.
Have you tried clearing its data and cache so you get a fresh start, so to speak?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Did last night and it didn't seem to help.
So better battery stats seems to be telling me that google photos is the problem. I use the app so this sucks. Otherwise I would have just uninstalled it. Can I use adb shell commands to disable its wake lock? If I do that, I'm guessing it will not upload pics and videos to Google drive UNLESS my screen is ON, right?
TK has this (
) YouTube video showing what I am asking. Keep in mind I actually AM rooted. I don't see any options in batter battery stats to disable wakelocks. It just detects them.
I would again ask To check cpu consumption

Guess what!? It appears that the photos app was just trying to upload stuff to my Google drive. Since my internet is so horrible it took literally days. Once the uploads completed my battery drain returned to normal!!
Now I'm seeing this. What is going on. Seems like after every update or the littlest thing, or even out of the blue, battery drain occurs. I just flashed EX kernel 1.01,did some various updates in the playstore, and flashed some launcher mods.
I was seeing like 8% active drain and .5-.7% idle drain on EX 1.0 and only sharkie launcher mods. Now SOT sucks and so does my battery.
I had the same problem till I turned off instant tethering. Helped my battery life significantly for some reason. Doesn't really make sense.

I didn't make any changes there before or after updating though. Here's what I have in my tethering settings.
I had this tethering acceleration on,but it was on when I was getting awesome battery life too.
And what about these kernel wake locks? Is there actually an app that blocks wake locks? Wake lock detector would never work for me for whatever reason. Better battery stats seems to identify wake locks but it doesnt give you any way to actually do anything about the wake locks.
By instant tethering, I didn't mean the tethering in the Network and Internet part. I attached a few images that might make it clearer. (Settings->Google->Instant Tethering). I think this helped cause I keep bluetooth on a lot.
If I recall correctly, powermanagerservice wakelock is the catch all for all the partial wakelocks, and power manager display is just however long the display has been on.
Wifi scanning and BT scanning were both back on(previously turned off) for me after the JAN update.

Thanks for the reply. I found what u we're talking about with those pictures. Instant tethering under google was not on. I want wifi scanning on but I don't want the BT scanning on, and it didn't turn back on after the January update for me.
Without wifi scanning will wifi work with only the toggle button in the notification drop down menu? I thought they both had to be on
My battery is **** since 8.1, glad I found these options thanks to you guys.
I lose 20% battery life for 1 hr of SOT, super bad. I'll let you know if it improves.
