_______________________________________
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.

I don't believe this app is working any longer. I find it impossible that every app listed in "Wakelock detector" has the same exact number of wakelocks!! This makes me think the app is outdated and can't be trusted any longer.

"Statistics since unplug" is broken (i.e. does not list all partial wakelocks once selected, even if boot/unplug time are effectively the same). Although I prefer WLD's interface, BetterBatteryStats is more reliable at the moment (1/2017). Moto X 2013, WLD 2.0.1 installed as system app.

The app is working well and reliable. It's showing me what's using up my battery properly. It's easy to understand and modify. Good work! The user interface could use a new look by now though.

My phone was running terribly slow. Wasn't knowing what was causing it. Installed it and it showed one app waking lock all time. Uninstalled it and my phone smooth again. Deserves 5 stars

Essential for fixing wakelock issues. This app is helping me fix my phone by detecting which apps are keeping my CPU wakelocked. For those who do not know what wakelock is: Sometimes, even when the screen is off, some apps (running in the background) are still using the CPU, which consumes more battery. Most of the time that is vital for the app (like GMail that keeps checking your in-box), however, once in a while, you might find something unnecessary stealing your electrons. This app helps you detect situations like those.

Now, every time I open it, there is no info shown unless I hit the refresh button. And even then, there are a lot less things detected than there used to be. My phone hasn't changed at all, only app changed.

Не работает на андроид 5.1. Говорит нужен рут. На 4.2 работало без рута . В целом, приложение полезное. Upd: I've installed v.2.0.1 but the application still requires root after I run it. Too bad. I like this application very much. While pressing the "Install as a system app" Thanks for trying to make it work in Android 5.1 though

Thanks for making this free. It is a user-friendly app with lots of sophisticated wakelock info. This is what I need. I am considered as lucky because I am still using Android 4.3 which doesn't require me to have root access for this WLD to work. Keep it up!

If you are n00b, you may benefit from the use of the app for the simple problems, but when it comes to experienced users with strange problems, partial wakelogs are needed, so i switched to the *other* app. Liked the interface and everything, but it doesn't suit my needs.

Worked before you added "install as system app" option. Not working anymore, just shows toast "cannot perform this task right now". P.S. I don't want to install it as system app, it worked before as normal, non-system app. Edit: Working again!

Worked fine earlier today, but crashes at start since updating the app about 10 mins. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect. UPDATE: My God, that was a quick reaction from the devs! Working fine again!

This app can be seen as a simplified version of Better Battery Stats' ability to collate and display full and partial wakelocks, respectively known here as screen and CPU wakelocks. For a quick, one glance overview of where your battery juice is going, this app is hard to beat. Better Battery Stats goes further than just wakelocks and alarms, but often that's more detail than one needs, so even though that app effectively provides a feature superset of Wakelock Detector, I find it useful to have both apps on my phone.

Great and important app. There seem to be some issues with keeping the detected stats while browsing /using the app. While going between screens, sometimes the stats for a given app or all apps are reset for some reason, without me doing anything intended to do that or changing the reference point. Sometimes happens on re-opening the app too, I think. Pretty perfect, other than that.
