Mini pro 2.1 strange battery problem... :-S - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi forum.
I hope you can help me, as i have a really strange battery problem on my mini pro.
At first when i got it, it would only last for about 8 hours, no matter what i tried, and how mutch i turned off.
No data, only 2G and so on.
Then in october my provider did some network updates, witch resulted in a total network crash for a whole day.
BUT after that day, my phones battery started to last for at least two days, and i was happy.
(The funny thing about that is actually that i don´t even use that providers network, as i live in an area with no connection, so the phone is roamed onto an other providers 2G network allways)
NOW.
I have updated my phone to android 2.1 yesterday, and went to sleep last night with 100% charged phone, i was chocked when it was drained this morning after about 7 hours.
After the update to 2.1 yesterday i turned all off again, no data and only 2G, and so on.
Can someone pleace try to help me explain this behavior of the phone ??
When i look in the section showing what uses battery, right now with 89% left the phone say:
1h9m since charge
45% doing nothing
29% cell standby
27% display showing
(i don´t know the actual english labels, as my phone is danish)
I am really suppriced over this, i have NO clue at all as of what is happening, so i would be really happy to hear something from you.

you can try the app SystemInfo Panel, it can monitor the cpu usage. with the pro version you can see history cpu usage after a while of monitoring.

Found a program that might help you find the culprit http://ziyang.eecs.umich.edu/projects/powertutor/UMLogger-release-signed.apk
Gives extremely detailed usage of battery. Even down to how much the different programs use. Can see if its a specific program or if its a system fault..
I my self went to charging twice per day with 2.1 instead of only once with 1.6

I will look closer, but it looks like timescape is causing this somehow...
Send from my X10, still only with 2.1 *&%# :-/

did you root it?
if so, have you tried turning off and on? (not soft reboot)

I now have 2 days again at least :-D
But my phone is also working as an old gsm phone now. Nothing fancy is turned on.:-S
But i thing it was when i removed the facebook account from timescape the big bat saving was "enabled"...
Now i can try to turn everything on again, one thing at the time, to see what happens...
Send from my X10.

Is it still working ok? I got it less than a week ago and battery has not lasted for more than 8 hours, no matter if I use it a lot or not. I updated to 2.1 the next day after buying it so I am not sure how it behaved in the first day, but it went more than 8 hours without recharging I'm sure. Anyone else having this behaviour? Any ideas to save battery by shutting down SE cpu intensive apps?

I found that the screen is somewhat capeable of brightness higher than needed and it sucks battery faster than chevy chase at a blow-party. To me it seems that the auto brightness also is an issue, so i use a way to control it directly setting the brightness needed myself.
2.1 doesn't have decent memory handling which results in one killing of the wrong apps in an attempt to save battery - this will just eat more battery.
It's a good thing to keep in mind that it will use more resources to reload an app, than leaving it in memory in case you need it and discarding it if memory is required.
On rooted devices it's a real good idea to install an app like "Autokiller Memory Optimizer", which enables you to setup detailed limitations (or choose profiles) that will eliminate the need of automated killers or heavy use of task managers (which can be hard to setup correctly).
And as you mention - hunt down app's that startup in background to update or do timed operations, and turn off any hardware, that you don't really need.

do you use original or castom ROM ?

The 2.1-update1 from SE.
>X10 mini pro - U20i - 2.0.2.A.0.24

try to boot in to xrecovery and wipe battery status, then charge you evice to full and repeat this step again!

So far i've wiped the batt status at around 40% and recharged fully - i can already feel a major difference. I think this will do the trick - thanks dude
EDIT: the battery stats wipe worked great for me - now it seems more reasonable.

Real nice tip - dont know why but if my device seems to use more power than normally, i charge it to full > do a battery wipe > reboot > and makes sure it's charged to 100%.
Really noticable difference
>X10 mini pro - U20i - 2.0.2.A.0.24

Try this.
Go to Settings> Privacy>and check that Use my Location is disabled.
My battery drained so fast with this option enabled.
good luck

I think u need to put a software to see the process behind, they are somes (like mediascape) that drain ur battery... if u can, remove that kind of application.

The problem is timescape, backupandrestore, and auto-sync.
I've gotten real nice (in comparison) battery life with doing this:
Disable auto-sync (and doo it manually when needed)
Remove the 3 timescape and the backupandrestore apks
Reboot to xRecovery and clear dalvik cache
If you're smart do it when fully charged and clear battery stats too.
You need to do the clear dalvik thing before booting up, when you've removed the apks. The system shouldn't be unable to boot if the dalvik-cache have not been recompiled.
It shouldn't be a desaster if it boots up and fails - just boot up xrec and clear the cache.
>X10 mini pro - U20i - 2.0.2.A.0.24
>root,xrec,jit,link2sd,cus. key + bootanim

Try this:
Set wifi sleep policy to never
settings -> wireless & networks -> wifi settings
press menu -> advanced
and set wifi sleep policy to Never
press menu -> save
This part does need root though:
delete /data/system/batterystats.bin
fully charge your phone and let it full drain
NOTE: it shouldn't be nessesary to disable auto-sync - timescape i know eats juice.

Brainstorming: how to completely disable DataTracker-FD and Fast Dormancy

Being fed up with the random wakelocks that Dialer produced on my Gingerbread P500, I spent a while searching for the cause. It turned out to be DataTracker-FD (found out using the amazing BetterBatteryStats app - http://www.cri.ch/sven/doku.php/computing/android/betterbatterystats ), which deals with Fast Dormancy (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9191759/Fast_dormancy_to_improve_smartphone_networking_and_battery_performance_ ).
Now, in theory, Fast Dormancy should be a great feature! But, if your network does not support it, DataTracker-FD will still drain a lot of battery through the wakelock. The SGSII secret code for deactivating it doesn't work on the P500, and neither does the nwk_info.db method. Luckily, you can deactivate (or change its timeout) through the LG hidden menu...
1. Dial 3845#*500#.
2. Go to Modem Setting > PDP Setting > [0] Set Fast Dormancy
3. Select your desired timeout (or "Disabled"). You should now be done! (will look at Battery Usage in a little bit, to see if a reboot/Dialer FC is also needed)
Optional step 4. If you still see no difference, set your desired timeout (or "Disabled") a few more times.
Hope it helps.
/* Edit: It doesn't seem to help, we might be back to square one. Does anyone have any idea on how to completely disable Fast Dormancy? We might need a dev to look at the source code of Dialer and make some modifications... Right now, if your phone stays awake after using Data, the only current workaround is FCing Dialer from Applications. */
EDIT 2: A SECOND TEST, USING THE ABOVE METHOD TO DISABLE FAST DORMANCY, YIELDS POSITIVE RESULTS! THE WAKELOCK IS NOT THERE ANYMORE, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL RECONNECTIONS TO HSDPA!
It needs way more testing though, I will reconnect to data and leave the phone idle (screen off), then see what happens, and I will reboot the phone to see if the setting persists.
EDIT 3: Yes, the setting persists, and the wakelock is still not running! The final test will be done after it has completely charged, because there still is a small possibility that the wakelock is so far not active just because the phone was charging.
Edit 4: Straight after unplugging the phone, DataTracker-FD started running, without being connected to HSDPA (I was in a phonecall). In 17 minutes (of mostly talking on the phone) it drained 1% of the battery - so, it should last for about 29 hours with the same usage. Now I have started HSDPA and left the phone idle for 10 minutes, to see how much it drains and how much it drains after I turn data off. It just might be that, while the phone is still awake, it doesn't drain a large amount of battery. If it actually still drains a lot, this tweak definitely only /seems/ to work while charging (maybe BetterBatteryStats was reporting false data or FD just doesnt' work when charging).
Edit 5: Here's a pleasant surprise. Right after connecting to HSDPA and putting the phone to sleep, the Awake bar in Battery Usage faded out. In 5 minutes of idling with data activated, the phone drained another 1% battery - not sure how well that is, since it amounts to 8 hours of data on a full charge, but it's better than 12 hours of idling with no data on a full charge. Currently repeating the test. Just got an email on Yahoo pushed, I'll get to see the influence on awake time of that as well.
Edit 6: After 10 minutes of idling with data ON, a bit over 1% of the battery is gone. This is a fantastic value, and the Awake bar is only dotted in this period of time. DataTracker-FD seems to be running a bit in the background during the data connection, but stopped once I turned it off. It might just be me, though, because aLogCat still can't find any entries for Fast Dormancy. Now leaving the phone idle with no data for a while to look at the evolution of Awake time.
Edit 7: After about 45 minutes of complete idling, the battery went down 2%. This would mean the battery would last for about a day and a half, which is meh, considering I OC'd the phone to 730 and don't really use a task manager.
The conclusion: YES, disabling Fast Dormancy does work using the above method, and it does help battery life!
Edit 8: After another unrelated reboot, DataTracker-FD is once again awake after using data, but this time it draws significantly less battery. The Battery Usage graph shows no difference between sleep times and awake-because-of-FD times.
Edit 9: During the night, the phone drained 30% battery, once again because of some random action of DataTracker-FD. This is still not a definite fix.
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I dial that number..
I remember that long ago I dialed the number and everything was fine.
Well you shouldn't literally call it, just type it in Dialer and it should open the hidden menu.

When I just type it in dialer, nothing happens.
I see. It might not work on CM.
Updated the OP a couple of times, you might want to read it.
Considering I am still on Froyo v2.2.2, could this be of interest for me too? There's no abnormal battery drain on my phone, but if I can improve the battery life by tweaking this setting, I'd gladly do it.

I didn't have such problems on Froyo either. It MIGHT help, but as you can see from the numerous edits to the OP, it's not a clear win yet.
So it need to be disabled twice to stop working?
I've been looking for this service since using that Battery App but theres not much information of that in the web.
I'm not sure just how many times, but it took about 3-4 times for me until I was completely sure the wakelock stopped running and the phone went into deep sleep each time I locked it.
Yeah I think I got it doing it twice, FC phone and rebooting, btw maybe you can check system/etc/flex/flex.db and flex.xml there are fast dormancy settings there
@metalboy94 I mailed LG regarding Fast Dormancy and the reply i got was that P500 does not support fast dormancy. My phone does not switch from H to 3G. I tried enabling it many times using secret menu but it does not work.
I asked him if GB ROM/Baseband supports fast dormancy, he replied saying GB hasn't been released for India

There are? Thanks a bunch, gonna try those methods as well!
@atulalvenkar: Well, it still draws power from the battery, so at least they could have done something to the Dialer if it's not supported at all.
Edited the OP once again.
Are you guys checking on GB or Froyo ROM ? I can't see flex.db or flex.xml in froyo ? Stock or CM7

Stock GB. I found it, but you have to fill in the info for your operator if it's not on that list. Guess which is my situation.

Yeah my operator isn´t there also (I´m on a custom V20g ROM and I´m not from Romania) but i got the flex files from the Froyo stock so im going to try using that information to replace one of the V20g operators.
Also tried putting the Froyo ones on GB but get a lot of FC
Updated the OP again...
I tried to change the FD settings in the hidden menu, but the setting does not "stick", so I don't know if it's actually OFF or not.
However, I found that DataTracker-FD only keeps the phone awake when Wifi is on. If I'm always on 3G, FD seems to work and keep the phone asleep. Overnight with wifi off and 3G on, it only drained 2% battery.
I'm on official GB2.3.3 with PaoloM's kernel v5.
Strange.
hey maybe let´s try this:
Code:
ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411,
have to put that on the build.prop then restart, the values must be changed to your carriers code, you can get that code from adb typing
Code:
adb shell
getprop gsm.operator.numeric
Then the system should show the number

But did you see how many MBs the phone used? Cause if it's too much, people will definitely prefer just turning the phone off.
@Roqu3: I think I tried that before and it didn't seem to make a difference.
Worth a shot tho.
I'll try both of your methods if I still have the issue when I get my phone back from the service center.

[Q] Saving Android Battery Life in FLIGHT MODE

hallo,
i installed different kinds of android (SD version) on my HTC HD2, lastly i decided to use the MccM HD V6 SD SENSE FROYO and im very happy with that.
but ive got a problem: when im using flight mode while sleeping (usually 6-8hours), the battery loses 40-45% charge.
here is the situation:
- when im turning the device off and on again before using flight mode (means boot to wm6.5 artemis and then launching android, activating sim card and then setting device to flight mode) it tages 3-5% of charge during the night.
- when i do NOT reset the device, just enter flight mode after using the phone the whole day (facebook, google maps, ...) then the battery loses 40-45% charge as said before.
so the problem might be an application, which - once it is startet - always tries to connect when im flight mode. i startet using zdbox with autokill on lock, later also autokill system programs - no sucess.
lately i tried batteriefu, but this only stopped my data traffic/connection right now.
i have no idea, what to do against that. a friend told me, its not necessary to use taskkillers at all in android - whats your opinion?
maybe the SD android is a problem? (when programs use the SD card during night, it drains the battery?)
thnx in advance
markus
ps: sorry newbie, first thread in this board - when im doing wrong, just tell me - it was not on purpose.
Battery drain
wHY NOT JUST SWITCH THE PHONE OFF AT NIGHT????. Am I missing something??
Good luck
- galarm? (alarm use)
- and it takes time to go to wm6.5 and then launch android?
John, your shift key is stuck..
I can't help you directly, but SpareParts has a log feature that will tell you which applications cause the device to not enter sleep mode correctly (wake-lock), using that you should be able to locate the program causing the issue.
ok, spareparts was one of the things i uninstalled
spareparts or spareparts+?
thnx!
Normal spareparts should be able to do it (at least the one that came with my CM7 does)
ok, installed it, checkt the logs, loading battery and testing this night
interesting, last 2 nights there was a batteryloss of only 3-4%.
no idea why...
I've heard of roms / kernels taking a couple days to settle before some of the kinks go away, so it might be something of that sort. Otherwise I would assume your phone should be saving power if it's not connecting to networks as frequently

Y'know, I thought it was just me thinking this but I have noticed better performance once RevolutionROM has been in for 2 days or so.
I know there is politics for posting on a old thread but I saw this thread on Google while trying to see if this happened to anyone else.
I would like to report that right before bed I had 22%. My Samsung Skyrocket will eat right through 22% overnight if the cell radio is on. So without rebooting I turned on airplane mode (so I would have an alarm in the morning.) I woke up and my battery was at 28% I couldn't believe it. I will try to re-create this again. This was from 2am to 7am. In my battery details graph it even shows a little "hill" noting the increase.
I did hit the Task Killer button from my ES Task Manager widget right before airplane mode to make sure Facebook and Email were closed.
Any Input?
Have you tried betterbatterystats? I had high drain with new rom and seems to have been Audiout_2 which was started by the keyboard click. It was on by default in the ROM. Its off now and all is OK. Seems once it starts it must be continuously polling.

[Q] ICS Passion 9.2 battery life

I just registered, so I can't ask this directly to the developer, but hopefully someone can help me out. I flashed the ICS *Passion* 9.2 beta after reading up on it and seeing all the rave reviews about it. It has been a couple days with a few charge cycles completed and my battery life is still in the hole. Does anybody have any idea why my battery life is so bad? I hardly use it, just to text a bit and browse the internet occasionally. I saw quite a few posts in it with people achieving 12-17 hours battery life with moderate use, and yet I can only manage 6 with light use. The battery menu shows the screen using quite a bit of battery, which is strange, because I have the screen off with the exception of a quick text. Help?

I have similar battery use issues. I believe you have to have it fully charged then wipe your battery stats in the Clockwork Rom Manager menu under advanced. Fully charge again and repeat the process several times. You are probably aware but if dataswitch or wi-fi is running while not using, it will drain bigtime.

Wrong about last part.
I run wifi 24/7 and get 20+ hours light use of course.
I'll give you some of my settings I did to make it like this when I get to a computer I don't like typing long things on phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
There are some apps and explanations for download in my Battery Guide, post 3, that may help with this too.
Listen to Rider though. He's been on ICS since the beginning. Send some if those settings my way and ill put them in the guide if you want/don't mind.
HNY buddy.
Ok, i will list a few things I ALWAYS do on ICS right after flashing.
Settings> Display > Brightness to lowest ( i don't like the high brightness it hurts my eyes if i need it i turn it up) My Screen display time is set to 2 minutes (i don't think it matters unless if you just turn your screen on and leave it there)
Accounts and Sync > Sync everything right after flash and then disable syncing of Google Photos and Calendar (unless if absolutely necessary)
Also if you sync things like Gmail and what not, try to set the sync time 1 hour + mines set at a hour.
I also use Titanium Backup PRO to freeze DRM protect- , Email, and email exchange ( i only use GMAIL so i don't need another app taking any space) if you don't use gmail, freeze it.
I don't like using GPS because I know the places I go to. I know the roads near me etc. GPS shouldn't be THAT big of a problem if you remember to turn it off after using.
Settings> Location> all of mine are unchecked, if you do use GPS frequently then check the ones necessary. I don't like Google knowing where I live, it does no good just wastes a little bit more battery.
I use SETCPU(paid) you can use Voltage Control (free) and change your frequencies to minimum: 100 max: 1000 and then menu > set on boot or something similar. If you don't set it on boot, right after a reboot its going to change.
Thats basically all the things i do at a fresh rom flash. I might update this post if I miss something.

Issues with AOSP ICS by Polish Blood for mt11i

First of all, I can't yet post in the development section, so I'll post here.
AOSP ICS by Polish Blood for mt11i is a great release and deserves lots of support
Now for the issues:
Extremely high battery drain: 65% in 9 hours (overnight, no usage, phone locked)! Battery details (if I read them correctly) say its mobile network signal. But I've disabled 3g and data. It's a clean, just installed kernel+rom on a freshly rooted phone with unlocked bootloader. No apps.
Also, if I disable the google search service to get rid of the search bar on my homescreens, It pops back up after I use the camera (but in a nonworking state).

Discharge battery completely,and then recharge it few times,because the battery needs to accomodate with new os.Do not use live wallpaper,because it drain your battery very quickly.About the search bar issue,i've tried to disable it,and i have no problem,after using camera,it doesn't reappeared.You can also try another kernel (i reccomend xneo aokp version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630532).
thanks, will definitely try that.
Also, I used to have some live wallpapers on on 2.3.4 and it didn't have much impact on the battery life.
As for the google search bar I've just successfully reproduced that two times in a row. Reenabled google search (went to home screen, it worked) then disabled it (went to home screen, it disappeared), then activated the camera (sidepanel button) zommed in a bit, unzoomed. And bam - the search bar is back on the home screen, but in a nonworking state. Did everything again with identical result.
not sure what might have caused it, but the search bar is gone. I wish there was a way to reclaim the space reserved for it...
You can't use it,because that space is reserved only for search bar.This is the way Google made it.
that doesn't stop me from wishing it wasn't so : ] but enough with pointless chit-chat.
Spent half a day trying to get the mms to work. It was configured correctly and the data was on (what a pain, gingerbread was a lot better in that aspect - data off didnt mean disabling mms).
It worked right away when I reflashed the phone without the rootfix. Once I applied that - it kinda works... but not really good. I was unable to properly receive an mms containing a contact, and seemed to randomly fail while sending images through mms. So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, even though one of my test mmses was delivered, the report for it (enabled it in preferences) was "pending".
I'm going to test it further tomorrow.
EDIT: even more problems:
the light sensor doesn't seem to work (no reaction if screen brightness set to auto)
cant test it from the service menu because I cant access the service menu. Once I write in the code *#*#7378423#*#* through phone, the code disappears and nothing seems to happen.
i wonder if this rom includes xloud and Bravia engine, because the developer mentioned them in the #43 reply in the neo V section.

apart from this being offtopic, I don't see a xLoud setting within settings\sound, so it would be a good guess no it doesn't.
as for the BRAVIA - if You have an idea how to check it, I'll look.
Now back to the topic:
list of problems so far:
heavy battery drain - unsolved, tried:
changing baseband (tried 64 and 70),
disabling everything I could,
fully discharging then charging while phone was off,
discharging to exactly 50% then unplugging the batttery for 5 minutes, then charging the switched off phone for at least 5 hrs
issues with mms (random failures to send and failures to receive; erroneus reports (pending while message was delivered); failure to receive contact via mms (notification of a new message, opening messages and... there is an empty message or no message at all))
google search bar randomly reappears in a disabled state (if I tried to get rid of it by disabling google search in settings\apps)
issue with bluetooth (Tested with s8500GT wave @ bada 1.2, worked well before flashing to 4.0.4 by PolishBlood) - phone is not correctly recognized as a phone. I can pair it and a connection is seemingly established, but I cant, for example, send a contact via BT (from s8500 to neoV)
can't access service menu (the code just disappears after entering it via phone, nothing happens)
ambient light sensor does not seem to work (or the A brightness setting doesn't)
issue with messaging: while playing music i've answered a message (phone horizontal) in a conversation. The message i've sent is not displayed once I open the conversation, but it is visible as the last message in the conversations list
if I set the data warning & limit to 0, the Data usage app crashes and will not let me re-enter it (if I try, it just goes back to homescreen)
hope this topic finally gets to be noticed by PolishBlood devs,
generalnie świetna robota i jak najbardziej warta pochwały :]
For the heavy battery drain,try to use XNeo kernel. The ambient light sensor works ok for me,I don't know why you have problems with it.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Neo using XDA
try to use another kernel , not the one provided in the ROM
After several days of usage the battery drain dropped (i'll keep using it to determine whether its an acceptable level).
sometimes the phone will do 14 hours eating only 30 hours of battery and sometimes, for no apparent reason and absolutely no change in usage, it will drain half of it in 6 hrs. So "unstable" would be the best word to describe the battery drain.
Still can't access service menu, still have problems with mms.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
my phone did that too when the wifi signal wasn't too good, but once it got IP it was rock solid. Hm...
As for my case, the brightness sensor apparently works (most of the time and if I dont touch the brightness control key on the power widget - then it just stops). All other issues are still in place. Power consumption often shifts from really low to insanely high for no apparent reason. Battery app shows its network and awake (but the phone is locked most of the time with its screen off)
i never get ip. and when i set ip manally it drops the connection every 30 seconds...
can i change my kernel with AOSP? AOSP only works with AOSP kernel, or not?
i don't want to start a new thread, so I'll ask here:
Does anyone found working Phone.apk with Polish Blood Project other than the original one from the ROM ?

Need help in debugging/finding battery drain reason

Hello forum,
background info:
I have a rare Pansonic Android 5.0.2 phone (DMC-CM1) with an excellent camera, what is the reason why I want to keep this device.
There are NO custom roms available and no info about key combinations on how to get into stock recovery mode. I can go there with adb of course.
I found a key combination to get into fastboot, but Wiping cache/data to reset the device apparently did nothing, even if wating for hours. It seems as well as if Panasonic tampered with the stock bootloader :/ This is why I had to send it to service (adb was not enabled before).
They reflashed the device with 4.4.4 and I installed the updates to 5.0.2 OTA. Everything seemed fine until...
present problem:
...now I have a strange battery drain. Bevor I sent it it, I had about 2-3 days usage time with average usage, a little messageing, a few fotos. I do not use the phone much.
Now I get a maximum of around 16-20 hours out of it while it is just resting on the table. It also gets warm.
what have I done so far:
- I rooted the device and installed better battery stats from the forum here. It shows around 8-10% usage per hour. Before the problem showed, I had 1-2% usage.
- I uninstalled EVERY own installed app and even booted into safe mode -> same problem
- I disabled all google app packages -> same problem, but improved it a little
When I check the battery via android settings, it is telling me that "android-system" is using >20% of the battery. In active apps I can see this app is running the fast dormancy service. When I kill this service and force the complete app to stop, it gets _a little_ better, around 5-6% usage.
I recently killed forced stop on all services that where not qualcom or seemed essential to me and disables wifi and bluetooth and over night usage dropped to <1%/h, which seemed the problem could lie somewhere with services.
However using adb shell and pulling "top" info, I dont see a process using much CPU.
What else have I noticed, which might be unrelated:
-After charging I see a 100% wakelock from qpnp-charger, that disappears only after rebooting. Might indicate that something with qualcom is "wrong".
-I set wifi to be _never_ be running in sleep mode. Better battery stats is telling me, that wifi is 100% of the time running, even if I can see the symbol for wifi is not showing and comes up a few seconds after I wake the phone
You can see, I might need help on how to identify the problem here.
Any hints, tips, advice?
Please excuse my "messy" english, it is not my native language.
regards
Stefan
