Ever wondered why your smartphone screen doesnt turn off automatically when it should have, the screen wakes up all of a sudden or you find your phone battery drained even when you exited apps and turned off the screen? This might be due to wakelock holding apps. ”Wakelock Detector” helps you to detect battery draining apps in your Android phone by checking wakelock usage history. Now you can easily find out what keep your phone awake and drain your battery when it is idle!

“Wakelock” is a mechanism of power management service in Android OS, which can be used to keep CPU awake (Partial wakelock) and keep the screen on(Full wakelock). Applications which use wakelock privilege improperly leads to situations where the CPU or phone screen stays active without user's knowledge and thus causing dramatic battery drain.

“Wakelock Detector” shows wakelock usage statistics for all applications, which ever held wakelock since boot. By default it displays CPU wakelocks sorting by the longest usage time. Further, you can choose Screen wakelock type to see screen related wakelocks. For instance, if your screen is keeping on even after screen timeout or your screen turns on randomly by itself, then you can choose Screen wakelock type on the top (Brightness icon) to see which apps are using screen wakelock. Furthermore, if you are interested in currently running applications then you can change sorting type to "Active" which shows active running applications on the top. For further details please refer to FAQ inside Settings.

Main features:
# shows both CPU wakelock (Partial wakelock) and (Full wakelock) ;
# merges wakelocks of corresponding app into one expandable view for better user experience;
# currently active running applications are shown in red color;
# allows easy sorting options by Running state , Wakelock time and Alphabetical order;

How to use:

#1 Charge your phone above 90% and unplug cable (or just reboot the phone)
#2 Give it a time (1-2 hours) to accumulate some wakelock usage statistics
#3 Open “Wakelock Detector”
#4 Check the apps on the top, if they show very long wakelock usage time then you found the cause of your battery drain!

#Notice
We are working on improving the performance of the “Wakelock Detector” by adding new features regarding wakelock issues users usually face. We are trying to follow up all your comments. And we know that the application is not ideal yet. We would appreciate if you send us email before giving negative comments in the Play Store. Your feedbacks are always welcome!
* MIUI users - Make sure that battery service is turned on.

My.phone is rooted. This app doesn't detect it and won't even generate a root access request. Magisk doesn't recognize it as a root enable app or that it ever asked for root. The app just sits there on the opening screen telling me jow to work around not being rooted. The Mode setting says it's a system app and has root, but the core program doesn't seem to know it.

People are crying and complaining this doesn't work on new android.. the last update was released in 2017. For crying out loud people just use your eyes and logic for 2 seconds to see the information about the app and that the new OS are different from older versions of android. To an extent that even UI elements are incompatible between 10+ and older versions.

A great app! Now I know which apps have been sucking my battery xD I'm using this tool on Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. My only notice: activate access for the app to battery statistics not using Chrome extension (this way is too clumsy), but via adb, using the command: "adb shell pm grant com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector.noroot android.permission.BATTERY_STATS" P.S. All the negative reviews are from stupid people who cannot set the app properly.
