Hi guys,
Today i have got a new firmware for my X10 mini.
it is 1.1.A.0.8
Lets hope it fixes the battery issue......
Just run PC companion and let it update.
Took very less time
BTW, will installing Helix launcher increase battery life?

Yeh those apps came in my mini pro when new.

battery backup ?????
what about battery performance? is it better?
It seems better on mine, but that's obviously not a scientific test, just a "feeling"
6 hours since unplugged, including half an hour browsing with wifi, and an hour of music playing, the rest of the time the screen off, but checking email every hour over 3g, and the battery is at 78%
^^I kept it idle for 11hrs and battery went down to 89%..
That was over night and it was at 98% earlier.......
Used it alot that day(2-3Hrs music + 1hr video + 15 min calls) and by n8 at 8 it was at 33%......
I felt it ok..
No update available for my region. :S
Ok.
Now i found out one more thing.....
Never let the battery run down completely....
If you do so then your battery life decreases.
Also don't frequently switch off and on the handset.
DO so only once a week or so

i tried PC Companion Software update but response was: "you have latest software" I wanted to go on updating anyway via the Repair option but got scared - so im still in stock v1.6. anybody tried forcing update using repair . . .
Got an OTA update available message on handset. PC Companion doest report any updates Currently charging the phone over 60% once done, will do OTA update and would revert back with details
Build update, not Android update

The update is not an update to Android 2.1, sp you will still have version 1.6 of Android. The update to android 2.1 is now announced in Q3.
The update here is an new build, 1.1.A.0.8. I got my yesterday (Norway).
I updated this "by the air". No problems
Apart from the name (1.6 donut) your x10 mini already has most (if not all) of the features from eclair.
Unless it includes some type of support for Adobe Flash (which is unlikely given the hardware) I won't even bother with 2.1.
How hard is it to put flash lite 4 on a friggin phone.

Hello, I managed to install the actual CM6 on my X10i(flashed to .58), but now I have the battery drain Problem... lost 20% in 40 minutes... :S
Flashed it actually down to .54, doesn't look much better...
yes, I did read this advice:

If anyone is having any issues i suggest you try this!

, but here's my problem... I have no plan, how to reinstall the OS, google and Forum search did not help... tried SEUS, tells me, I have the actual software and does nothing more...
so, I would be really thankfull, if someone could post a noob-friendly tutorial for this...
When you connect to SEUS, once it detects the phone, it will notify you about your current OS and it will also give you the option to reinstall the OS, which will result in the loss of all your apps. You will also lose root. So you'll have to do that again.
But before you do anything, give the ROM some time to settle down. Many people on wolf's ROM have observed better battery life after its been allowed to discharge a couple of times.
It has also been said that the .58 basebrand could have possible quick battery drain.
Had this issue too, the only way I found to resolve it was to start from scratch; i.e. back up, re-flash from seus, root and so on. Works a treat, though it's a pain...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't is just easier to go to xrecovery, factory reset, wipe all stats and caches and reinstall the ROM. Is there any advantage to reflashing 2.1 first?
Tried just re-flash, no joy; still high battery drainage. I've found that in a few roms, if you re-flash the same one you get issues...!

yeah, debranded to .54 yesterday, first seemed to be the same, but now, 7 hours without recharge, 59% left, listened a bit to music, did some installations and some short calls in this time... so, it's close to the unmodified performance and not critical anymore... gues, with the cracked bootloader we will get an update soon, with no more problems like this
My battery is fine and I used. 54 BASEBAND. I SUGGEST FLASHING THAY BASEBAND ON. And you should have no problems. I have had my phone off charge for 6 hours now and I have been on the phone, listened to music, watched a few video's and been on XDA app and my battery has only dropped 31% so mine is fine. Hope it works and if not PM me and I will see what I can do

hey, i just wrote, that I also debranded to .54.. and see, mine: 40% in 7 hours, yours 30% in 6 hours... thanks for the help anyway
I'll keep this for some time, maybe it all will be fixed soon...
Xrecovery
I flashed the stock rom, rooted an everything else. When I try to boot into Xrecovery, I can't. I tried reinstalling Xrecovery, but it wouldn't take. Anybody have any ideas? I want to put Wolf's rom back on my phone, but I am stuck in stock 2.1 right now.

you will have to manually place those xrecovery files in the respective folders using root explorer. Thats the only way to make it work.
Take them from the SD card and put them in system/bin?
Edit: I got it now. Thanks for your help!
What busybox is installed on your phone. Is it v1.8 or higher if not you need to install that again using busybox installer if that fails then you will need to do what the last post says. Hope this helps.

It could be that you have a similar chipset that my x10 came with.
these are usually defunct and should have the mother board swapped by SE.
Trust me when they sold the x10 alot of damaged motherboards made it on the market.
Pathetic battery life or restarts are symptoms of these crappy boards.
Just wanted to ask...i read that wolfbreak rom battery life will get better if u use it for a couple of days..i wanted to ask do we still to do the wipe battery stat in xrec and discharge and charge the phone a couple of time or just let the system running...i ussualy charge my phone at night witout switching the phone off..is this ok..previously on 4.5 rom,the battery was great...
well,.. I actually just let the system run and I still have great battery life...but usually it's best to discharge the battery a couple of times...
Try wiping battery stats
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
already wipe the battery stats a couple of time...well..i just need to wait a couple of days and see how its work...now i try to discharge and charge the battery...
today,i charged my phone for 5 hours after discharging the battery to 1% last night...then,after plug out the cable,i turn on the phone and my phone fully charge..then,i wipe the batt stat using xrec and restart my phone...after restarting,my battery indicate 1%....why is this happening...try to wipe again,the same thing happen...then,i decided to recharge while the phone is on..after 20 minutes of charging,my battery rise to 79%..what does this mean?
You mean discharge and recharge fully a few times....
Hey everyone,
After flashing via flashtool the global 2.3.4 i noticed that the battery was draining way faster than normal. I should mention that i didn't wipe user data before the flash.
From what it seemed, "Android System" took up around 65% of the battery overnight without letting the phone go to sleep mode, losing 90% percent of battery in 8 hours.
My original setup was the stock rom and the doomlord v9. kernel. While trying to fix the issue n make the phone be able to go back to sleep i wiped user data n flashed the stock rom n kernel again with/without root, the SE tweaked v.5 rom, etc n the issue didn't seem to get fixed.
If anyone has any ideas on fixing that, or if it's safe to downgrade to 2.3.3 please share.
~The only thing running was a messenger app which usually uses 2-4% n my battery drain was around 3-5% overall with no use on 2.3.3 with the same setup.
(I'd post screenshots but the forum isn't letting me post outside links yet)

yeah, i noticed the same thing last night too. wifi causes a wakelock for some reason which didn't ever happen on 2.3.3.
I even relocked the bootloader n upgraded to 2.3.4 via PCCompanion just to be sure i'm not doing anything wrong with the flashing and roms but doesn't seem to be fixed in any way..
Thanks for the info!

I just checked on pc companion and it's not available for me yet in the UK with 2.3.4 global.
It's not available for me here in Greece either.
I've done some reading around at forums n see what other people have been experiencing, n i somewhere read that in one case the issue was the SD Card (which is weird) and in another it was the automatic time setting via internet. I'm doing some tests right now trying different combinations, but from what i see the phone did go to sleep with Wifi on after i turned off the auto time setting.. Nothing's for sure yet though.
Interesting. I've make ftf file with LT15 loader and uploading now.
Tonight I'll try and share it.
Well, i'm confused. My phone seems to be back to normal for now. I put the SD back and enabled internet time, restored most of my apps to see if the wakelock would happen again but it's still working properly. Which means i don't have a conclusion of some sort.
~Update: Sim Card doesn't seem to be recognized now for some weird reason..
~Update 2: Backup & Restore was the issue here, after i deleted it n rebooted the phone SIM is working fine.

the only think i found is that it doesn't stay awake with all routers, it only happends if the router is WPA2 locked and it is "n" standard, the phone will do no problem if it is connected to a open b&g network.

You can either flash the doomkernel v9 that roots the phone by itself, or boot your phone into recovery mode and install the RootXperia if you prefer stock settings
Use Juice defender, you can allways gain some battery time.

so finally after waiting for around one month, the ICS upgrade for my SI number was finally released yesterday. i installed it yesterday but it was lagging a lot in the beginning, but it got much smoother after letting all the apps load in the background (which is quite normal). But still the lagging was there, and i also noticed that the battery drain was pretty quick, it went dead from 20% while i was sleeping (around 9 hours)
today i formatted the SD card, and did a repair with the PCC. and guess what, its running perfectly.
i particularly like the option to Disable the apps, which i wont be using at all, like Chinese Keyboard, EA Games shortcut and similar stuff.
i am still to check the battery performance after the repair, will update in this thread. but so far so good.
SO, if your ICS is NOT running smoothly and lagging here & there, repair the phone from PC companion and format the SD card.
feel free to share your experience as well
Games do not work well. I reverted to GB due to battery and other damn issues.

well as i said, first format the SD card, thru the phone. and then connect your phone to Sony PCC, and select Repair phone option (when it fails to search for an upgrade to current firmware)
basically its even better than factory reset, because here the phone's firmware is being re-installed.
but you will have to go thru all the customizations that you did earlier, plus you'll lose all messages, contacts, pictures and apps, so back them all up if you need
Hi, I recently brought the Sony live with Walkman the first thing noticed the screen if we closely observe the screen we can see a little dots looks a grid on the screen is it outdated screen or whats going in there and while im in call speaking someone else i can hear come kind glitch and some times it goes away but over all performance is so good
Coming to battery life what i observed is when im on WiFi the battery percentage dramatically drops like 1% per 4 mins (browsing) no multitasking
is this normal WiFi off i can get 2 days of single charge :laugh: WiFi On 1 day max :good: and my phone heats upto 40c on heavy use like playing temple run 2 and all
i want you suggestions and tips to make my phone better im on Android 2.3.4 stock with firmware 0.62
Any upcoming news for ICS 0.587 firmware update, I recently checked that Tipo got update on 4.0.4 firmware so can i hope update to my phone W19i

About the dotz. Don't worry every fone has it. (dammit I forgot its name).
Battery life, since urs is new, u have good battery life, u know two day is like amazing. Within some time,it will clog, up and u'll get a max one day. (and that's when u start searching for rooting, unlocking and custom fw's )
We already have. 587. :banghead:

Connect your phone to PC Companion and update to ICS
Our phone received official ICS update by Sony 9 months ago...
PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
about dots its clearly seen especially under sunlight or strong light i think that is because of screen type "TFT"
i was with my friend he has xperia mini his phone didnt have this dots i think that is because mini's screen is "LED"
about battery drainage i had higher drainage on GB so if you try upgrading you will observe the deference not the best but better than GB
ok, can we except update for ICS because recently sony tipo got update for 4.0.4 im hoping they release to my phone too

I bought an LG Optimus L9 P768 from a friend (my 1st smart phone ever), who has updated it to JB. I noticed that the battery behavior is not usual; I charge the phone about 3 times daily with only minimal 3G internet browsing and few calls. After some googling, found that some people reported the same battery drainage directly after the JB update.
My questions:
01- Has there been any update or patch to solve that battery problem?
- checking from the phone returns "You are using the latest software version for current OS."
- using LG Mobile Support Tool yields " Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool"
"Software version V20A" (SCREEN ATTACHED)
02- As an Android primitive caveman, the 1st thing that came to my mind to revert the phone to ICS. Using "Update Recovery" in LG Mobile Support Tool.
- After asking me for my IMEI, it downloaded a 500+ file, then failed TWICE at 5%. (SCREEN ATTACHED)
03- I stumbled on [GUIDE] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX METHOD [UNBRICK], but I cannot figure out how to get the official stock roms.

3A- Will any rom with the same model, i.e. p768, work regardless to the country?
3B- I also found THIS but the website looks suspicious, doesn't it? tried downloading that one from United Arab Emirates section, as it's the closest to Egypt where I bought the phone with it's working warranty in country, but I always get "Size mismatch after 23%".
NOTE:
- I'm not in love with ICS or even the official roms in general, I just want my battery to last as it should be without any weird application behavior.
- Any suggestion with any trusted custom roms are much appreciated as long as the battery will work properly.

Charge phone to 100 but leave it charging then factory reset and remove cable. Tell me if you see any difference in drainage after a few hours.

Despite of the fact that I did a factory reset before starting this thread, I did it again as you described with the cable on and then removed it. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Using Opera mini on a 3G connection with 50% brightness drains the battery on the rate of 1% every 3-4 mins.
not sure about the battery problem only being with jb. but i could surely help you with rolling back to ics
and the website you found for lg firmwares is perfect. i guess everybody on the forum uses this website.

I succeeded in reverting back to ICS stock rom (downloaded a random 10A one from that page), followed cmahendra's guide and the unusual Cell Standby percentage is gone. But my impression is that the battery usage is still relatively high; why don't we, L9 users, make a standardized battery benchmark? using Antutu Tester for example, so that we don't rely merely on impressions.
I'll start by sharing mine. (See the attachments)
I know it cannot be that accurate due to different ram and cpu usage, which Antutu cannot control, but at least gives an approximate picture.

Hi, I'm havin the same battery drains after JB update, specially from cell and phone idle (ridiculous). I did the Antutu test: full charge, begin test and I lefted it with no use overnight; and I scored 463 (aprox in the middle of the chart).
How old is ur phone?

Original date of purchase is in last April, then I bought it in August from a friend. I don't think it's old enough to cause this unusual battery drain. Don't you think so?

I tested with Antutu again and the score decreased; 1st time (on ICS) was 399, 2nd (on ICS) 370, 3rd (on JB) 326. I think we need more users to share their test results.

Yeah, more results would be useful. I asked the LG support for help with this problem, they haven't answered me yet... I'll tell you if they do.
Solution?
Hi, I tried something that worked for me. I did this 2 days ago and yesterday I went from 100% battery at 9 am to aroud 40% at midnight. Apparently the battery needs to get calibrated after the update. Anyways, what I did:
Use your phone normally until battery gets depleted and the phone turns off by itself.
Then plug in the charger and turn it on again (you have to wait until the yellow icon dissapears)
After I turned on I saw that the battery was around 25%, wich was ridiculous considering it was depleted and it was charging only for 5 minutes, so I plugged off the charger and let it reach 1%
When almost depleted and before it turns off again plug it in and let it charge for a while (I left it overnight)
After that the battery estarted to work like before the update to JB. Phone and cell idle are still the most consming apps though, but well...
It's 2 days after that and battery is working fine, I'll update you if anithing changes.
PD: no word from the LG support... -.-

Can you test using Antutu Tester and post your phones score here?
I am so close to throw this piece of **** for a phone out the window
my first and last LG purchase
