ADW Launcher and battery drain - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone noticed any battery drain with the ADW Launcher? I had it for like 2 days and my battery seemed to drain faster then usual so I removed it

What else have you got installed? It's the only launcher I use and have never had battery issues with it.

I use adw and its great. Because of adw my batt lasts 4days without charge. Remove all the stuff on Ur original home. This prevents the phone from needing to remember stuff on its own home screen. I think.

I dont have any problem here either, tho i have often wondered if i should kill the original home app to prevent it being useless in the background?

I use ADW and Juice Defender (just to toggle my APN/Wi-Fi when I turn the screen off), and with light-moderate usage (send like 100 texts, about an hour of browsing) I can easily get 2 days out of it.

I had pretty decent battery life with ADW...although Im now running Live Home as I find it much nicer.
But something weird I noticed I guess I could mention...I do like the default launcher but when I use it as home I have notice SIGNIFICANT battery drainage and I mean fast! When I go to check battery use my 'cell standby" is like 85% give or take a couple even when the phone has been just sitting there for a few hours. Its like it never goes to sleep...however when I use Live Home or even ADW for that matter my "cell standby" is usually around 30% or less.
Anyone else get the same thing?
I actually just checked my cell standby and its only at 14%....where as with the default home its 80% or more.

I don't really call people much. Mainly text fb, Twitter, browsing, and fiddling. Maybe that's why I can get my phone running for 4 days? Mind u I do browse a lot

Then I think that will be your biggest issue, screen and wifi/data being used for prolonged periods of time is going to drain the battery, but some apps have been known to be battery killers too, but it's trial and error pinpointing them.

Yeah, I'm with XperiaX10iUser on this. More than likely it's your data usage. I've been using ADW for a few months and haven't noticed any impact on my battery because of it.
This past weekend I was at the cottage and thus had no signal. So I threw the phone in Airplane mode, and my battery was dropping at like 1% every few hours of non-use. I'd think if ADW was the culprit the battery would've been draining quicker than that, since it was running the whole time.

ADW's been great for me.
I've routinely posted that I can go three days of light use with wifi/3G/BT on.

I also experienced extreme battery drain with ADW. I installed it about 2 months ago and it killed my battery in a couple hours, tried reinstalling it and changed a few settings around, same thing. Needless to say I uninstalled it and went back to Helix and have been using that ever since. Maybe I'm one of the only other few out there to experience it, but ADW did drain my battery very very quickly, so you're not the only one!

thanks gupta

in 3 hrs i went from 91% to 71% and all i did was send max 10 texts while in class

Don't have battery issue so far.. It's the best launcher I've tried so far. so smooth compare to the stock one even in 2.1

I noticed that launcher pro is a bigger battery hog than adw

What everyone thinks or notices is not important.
Use a battery profiler and you will see where is the problem.
In my case: face recognition, learning client and drm something.
I froze all of them and now top battery is Touiteur because is doing updates every 5min,

Battery drains faster than usual

I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like way more than that. I can certainly type a couple paragraphs before my % drops at all. You sure haven't installed something else? If not you could have a defect.? Possibly return it and get a new one?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I guess we can safely say it is foursquare widget draining the battery then

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.

Are devices each to there own?

Ok so im quite new to android so im not 100% on the ins and outs on how what uses what battery and when.
Im running skyrom v9 and my battery was crap. To be honest its never been good. So i tried speedmod kernel and still got the same results.
Now iv disabled lockscreen widget and seems my battery is much better so iv put it down to that been the killer.
Iv read some people are using this app with no issues. My friend tried it with the same rom and kernel as me and it was fine.
Question is are these phones like performance independent? Like will each device act and behave differently to different thing or shud one sgs2 be the same as another sgs2 that is set up the same?
Long winded but i got there

They're mass produced, they should be exactly the same. There may be really really slight performance differences. And tiny differences in screen quality. But this may depend on the batch.
What would be the case most likely would be the fact that you have a faulty battery. But it seems you were able to fix most of your problems by getting rid of an app.
There's a lot of things influencing battery life, dude! Every little thing you do and use can get the juice sucked dry in a couple of hours.
I thought as much. Just seemed odd. And although getting rid of that app seemed to work, its now gone back to its useual gonna die soon self. Gonna try another battery i think.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
In a way they are all different .
Different users with different apps and settings plus a different and varied level of user intelligence . That means phone A can be poor for user ZZ but give it to user YY and its working well .

Well only thing i have left to try is battery. Im just waiting for my other to charge then i will swap and test it. Best i have had my battery is loosing 10% an hour. Which imo is a bad crack.
When i go to my battery stats it says cirtain apps are using x%. Some of the apps iv never ran. And some like maps for example is using battery. I stop the maps app and still its using battery. Why?

A good test is to stick it in flight mode and shut down as many apps as you possibly can. Then just leave it in standby for a couple of hours. You should really only lose 1-2% of your battery. If you do then you know something on the phone is responsible and you can start looking for and freezing the suspects.
I've had mine in standby for about 9 hours now (since I unplugged it) and it's at 91%, after only a few texts and emails. That's with data on most of the time and a little wifi earlier. I'm on 2.3.5 and KH3.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
The phone is the same, it really is all in the user settings and usage styles. If you want to prove this, just reflash any ROM and kernel (they are not that different) and do a full wipe of the phone. Don't set up a Google account or any email accounts or install any launchers/apps/widgets. Use a plain black background/lockscreen. Just use the phone, SMS and other stock apps for a while. You should be getting around 3 days or more of battery life with moderate usage.
I've gotten 3+ days of battery life before, but nowadays I get less than 1 day. So when I read that other people are getting great battery life, it's not because their phone is different than mine. It's because I need to use Exchange for my office email, or because I want to run a certain widget, or have some extra notifications, etc. So all you can do is keep experimenting, updating, etc. until you find a combination that works well for you.

[Q] Go launcher

Anyone else get terrible battery life with go launcher? I absolutely love the launcher but its almost not worth it for the extra battery drain im getting. Id like to see what everyone elses experiences are with this launcher
i dont use it anymore but when I did have it, my battery did not drain any faster (at least not that I noticed).
I just went to go launcher ex and it seems to be draining a bit faster but too early to be entirely sure
I wouldn't say terrible, but the battery drain rate did increase. When installed, I saw 2-3% drain during idle. I switched back to LauncherPro and it has gone back to <1%.
I'm in a bad service are at the moment but I can for sure say it's absolutely guzzling it right now with internet significant use. I think I'm going to just go back to touchwiz or try adw or some other one. 5 rows for apps and customizable themes isn't worth the drain.
yes I have notice a atleast 3% drain on idle. I absolutely love that launcher but cant do that. In 3 hours I was down to 88% with little use...
Is there not a way to get an extra row of apps on TW Launcher? How about the bottom row at least?

So you're saying everything setup identical between Go and TW or another launcher you see a noticeable idle drain? Would love to see some numbers showing that.
Yessssss!!!! Between the launcher and all the stupid Widgets I found myself force stopping constantly...extremely annoying if I may say so...

Insanely Improved Battery Life Using Sense

I decided to give the standard Sense UI a go (even though the minor hickups and cube effect bug me) but I am astounded at how much more battery life I am getting.
I have used Nova Prime since I bought my DNA and got between 6 and 7 hours at the most.
Standard Sense (with root) and I am at 76% after 4 hours and 37 minutes.
Anyone else getting similar results?
I have been on Sense since I got this thing and have been incredibly impressed with the battery life. Hopefully this doesn't change if AOSP comes out.
I have also noticed the same thing. Also when I was using apex launcher it seemed like swiping between screens took just a little longer. I think that sense is just snappier.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Have had the phone for two days now and have been impressed with the battery life. Based on all the negativity I was expecting a poor experience. I have been using it fairly heavily (initial set up, playing around with it, downloading all my apps, etc.), although not too much 3G/4G use.
battery life has been exceptional for myself. I'm comparing it to the galaxy nexus.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I noticed the impressive battery life also, but I've been running ADW due to the familiarity of it and the customization. I'll have to give sense a shot for a few days and see if it gets even better! I noticed too, that non-sense launchers seem to run a lot slower. My Gnex is actually more responsive running ADW than my DNA. Only thing I can figure is that the sense we have was designed for the 1080 screen, and perhaps optimized to use the quad core proc better. Hopefully the other launchers will adapt to this in a timely manner.

How to literally double your battery:
1) Add Facebook mobile site shortcut to home screen.
2) Disable built in fb app
On the Nexus/SIII I was one of the people who blindly said "FB just drains battery" but I decided to give it a shot. I shut all notifications and refresh and location off for the app from the getgo. I'm a student so I have similar usage patterns every day. With FB app installed I came out of school with somewhere around 45% left two days in a row. Today, with slightly less usage in the morning, only thing changed is no FB app and I had 83% left. Mind boggling difference. :/

you would think if that was the case, that FB would be number 1 on the apps list for battery usage. Maybe it just doesn't let the phone sleep properly.

I am rooted and am using Nova Prime. It has worked really well for me, and I find the battery life has been decent, especially after the first couple of days. I will say though that in the battery settings, under app usage, it shows Nova Launcher as the second highest app at 9%. Not sure if that is normal or not, but it does seem higher than I remember with my other phone.
I'm using Nova launcher and it's usually at like 2% on my battery usage list. My highest is "Kernel" with like 38%. I have no idea why Kernel is so high.
I also use Nova and will not go to sense because I like 6 rows of icons on the home screen. This phone is so long I hate wasting it. I'm getting 15 hours with 2-3 hours screen time with 15-20% battery
left the last 3 days. I can't ask for more. The battery is more than ample for me, and has exceeded my expectations.

I simply told the FB app not to automatically sync anything. I update manually if/when I want.
I noticed that Nova was 10-20% on the battery usage list as well for me.
I've also noticed the amazing battery life. At first I thought I might have been making a huge mistake by getting the DNA, but now I have no complaint whatsoever.

Wait, so you're saying that even though you always had all notifications and refresh off, the FB app still used up that much battery? I used to be one of those people too, and I always turn off everything from FB. My battery is doing quite well, but hey, constant improvement is always good right?
I've tried both nova and apex launchers on a previous phone and i found that nova is a battery hog. I was missing some of my options that i had set up on apex so i had to install it again, I'm enjoying plenty of battery life but i also only average 1-2 hours on screen on time.
also you can change animation speeds both in the dev option in ICS and in apex launcher settings

[Q] Screen High Power Usage

After doing a complete wipe install of mean bean, my battery is still draining about 2%/minute. Now, I realize there is more than likely some other issue, that installing mean bean uncovered or removed the block before.
Questions;
1) is it normal for the screen to be using 60% of the battery power?
2) Is there actually an app that controls the battery usage, and truly kills apps?
- I have tested several, with no noticeable difference in power usage.
Thanks for any advice, for a somewhat novice rooter.
yup
The 60 normal if screens been on a lot. The 2% deal sounds whacked. Have u gone into settings/apps/running to see whats running?
Fixed, I think

I'm not sure what I changed, I limited the processes to only 4 running, that might have helped. The battery still drains faster than before when the screen is on, but not as it was before. I am giving "Easy Battery Saver" a try see if that tells me anything useful, it at least keeps the settings that are applied. With any luck it will keep working until I break it again, lol.

I was having bad drain issues and read some post about location tracking with Google maps. I disabled that and my battery life on MB 3.09 is back to normal which is great.
Funny thing is this happened seemly out of no where but I think there was a recent update to maps. My location tracking has always been on and never seemed to affect battery life before. Go figure.
