Energy consumption is a first-order concern for battery-driven smart phones. They are devices with limited number of resources such as memory, CPU etc. Power Management policy is employed in android to maximize battery life. The WakeLock mechanism in android allows developers to explicitly prevent the resources such as CPU, display from entering sleep mode. This mechanism is required in some applications where the resources have to be held for long durations without entering sleep state which drains the battery at very fast rate. To solve this, we have developed system level application, which detect applications holding these WakeLock bugs and provide enough information about the application along with the option to kill those processes. We install this application along with other applications to detect WakeLock bugs in them and analyze the battery performance.
