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.
@gupta
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,
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'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.
I've been doing a lot of research on this and it appears that our Razr has a bug that has been plaguing alot of Android phone. The 'suspend' bug. I noticed my phone was using alot of battery just sitting overnight. Sometime I'd wake up and it would be dead, which didn't make any sense. So I dl'd Watchdog to see what was killing the batt and it would get a warning about a 'suspend' process. This would pop up several times when the phone was just idle and not being used,with screen off. So I Googled it and there are alot of folks on various Android phones experiencing this problem. Here is a link to one site that is working on it or has been: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126
If you do a search on it, there are quite a few places that it's popping up on. I can't figure out how to get it fixed but I do know that this is one reason our phones are not lasting as long as they could. They're being drained when not being used! Now this may affect alot of folks or just some but it's a definate problem, I know on my phone it sure is!
I've also noticed there's a huge drain in battery use coming android is. Hope there's a fix for this.

It's not a program but a process of the Android OS. It's likely part of the rom for the razr like a setting that motorola stuck in that prevents the low-power cycle that should happen when you put in sleep mode. Probably could be fixed once people start making roms or if they roll out that OTA for icecream sandwich.
Same here, hope this gets fixed soon .
And as I have pointed out in other threads, having Wifi connected magnifies this problem quite a lot (for my phone at least). If I use CPU Spy to monitor sleep time, if Wifi is connected, I get almost zero sleep time even if the screen is always off.
What I've found for battery drain with screen off:
Wifi on, cell data off (using smart actions): 4%/hour
Wifi off, only 3g data on: 1-2%/hour
4g falls in between somewhere.
It would be great if Juice Defender could be programmed to deal with this Suspend Process.
Which watchdog did you install? the free version. I would like to confirm this and I suggest others do as well.
Yea just using the free version of Watchdog. Make sure you enable the search Android processes also.
BetterBatteryStats shows it as well under "Process"
I'm also having this issue. I was getting really good battery life (compared to my work phone, an Evo) for the first few weeks and then all a sudden the battery bombed on me. The standard Android battery use info only showed "Android OS" as the culprit (and would show like 60-80% as of late) of battery going to it. I downloaded Watchdog Lite and then this morning after I had the phone off the charger it was giving me the alert that the suspend process exceeded threshold of 51%.
I DO use wifi and that was actually helping with battery, but I have it set to not use when screen is off. Now, that being said if suspend is hanging on it trying to disable that's one thing, but I've got those settings in juice defender and in the OS config.
I have the exact same issue
I don't know what it is, haven't checked but...I lost 13% overnight in about 8 hours, too much IMO. Still get awesome battery life though, can't imagine if that was gone.

Well, I think I figured out what was causing the issue in my case. Anyone else running the app "Screebl"?

Yep, use it my Razr.
Anyone experience something (a term I will borrow from the Nook forums, ) "Sleep of Death"? It has happened three times to me on my Razr in two days, although in the last two it hasn't happened.
By SOD I mean that I unplugged the phone from the charger fully charged and within a matter of 25min to 6hours the phone becomes unresponsive . No power button working, plugging into charger, nothing wakes it. The only time it responds is after the hard reboot ( by holding down power and volume - for 10s)

Well, after disabling Screebl I haven't had anymore wacklock issues. Watch Dog isn't reporting on suspend anymore, and betterbatterystats is now behaving as well.
I also have Android OS taking up to like 46% of my battery. However, I now got around 20 hours battery life with a few txt, calls, music gaming etc since I turned the policy of the Wifi to go off when screen is turned off. Weirdly, it also appears to improve my battery life even when my WiFi is already turned off. Guess you guys can give it a try. But Android OS is the main energy user of my battery. Didn't have that on my Xperia X10
I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know the correlation between CPU usage and battery burn? I'm seeing Suspend consistently burning 3-5% of CPU, but haven't seen how that directly translates into batteyr burn. There should be some sort of mathematical relation between X CPU = Y battery burn.
2. Even though suspend is eating low cpu cycles, the battery dropping 10-15% overnight with nothing going on is still ridiculous. Any ideas on what else the probelm is?
I'm using the Neutrino ROM right now. My phone will get very hot after a while, usually during browsing and the battery will drain extremely quick. It use to not do this. I thought it might be Dolphin HD browser I was using but it does the same with Opera mini.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? It never did this before and I'm only half way through my day and it's already at 40%. I use to be able to get through my entire work day and still be in the good 60-70%...
I had this same issue when I first got my Atrix and it started happening after I rooted it and customized it. Even after a factory reset, it still ran hot and the battery drained quickly.
I ended up performing a complete factory reset and took the phone back to get it replaced. The replacement worked just fine, even after rooting it and doing the same customizations I had done with the first one.
If you just got it, I would suggest taking it back and getting it replaced with another one. It could just be a bad battery.
My 2 cents!
Here are a few things to help you diagnose your battery drain issue.
Download "CPU Spy" from the market. This program will show you how long your cpu has spent in each of it's various clock states. This program does not reset it's data until you reset it, and your phone's cpu will not sleep while charging. So charge the phone then open the program and reset timers. Now wait a while and check the stats. Your cpu should be going into "Deep sleep" mode most of the time you are not using it. If it is not 75% or more deep sleep after a couple hours, or if it shows deep sleep under unused clock states then you have some condition (probably an app) keeping it awake.
If you have an app keeping your phone awake you need to determine which one is doing it. This can be done by backing them all up with titanium and deleting a few then testing (takes forever,) or by way of another program. I use a program called "better battery stats" from the market, which is a paid app. This app gives you information on wakelocks, partial wakelocks, and processes that are running. It can be used to find the process responsible, which you then trace back to the app that is using it.
I found out about all this when K9 mail was running away with me. It wasn't too bad as long as I was connected to wifi, but while traveling it would constantly use a very small amount of data and refuse to let the cpu sleep. I deleted it and for about 2 months now I get home after 12 hours with 60-70% or more battery life and about an hour of screen time used. My deep sleep percentage is in the 80's every day. My phone is runnign Jokers's cm9 overclocked to 1.45.
Hope this helps.
Try badass battery off market, it will let you see where it drains
Just switched from Nutrino... What version are you using? EE/GT/GT+? I only used the EE because its stock clock speed. I noticed CPU gets extremely hot with slightest OC. Also, noticed quick battery drain while screen was on (quicker than other ROM's)...

Also, if your using the gt+ version with the over clock kernel like I am using, do the phone a favor by keeping the phone underclocked at 1000 MHz instead of 1450 MHz. That will help the heating up too. That's what I do. Battery is great too.
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
As Voelker does, I have the 1.3 version of Neutrino but keep it clocked at 1Ghz max with SetCPU profiles most since any overclock tends to get warmer than I want. I havent had a temp crash yet, it's just me being paranoid sometimes. I do set it to 1.3 when I am playing games for smoothness, but I havent noticed any unusual battery drain, just more heat than I want.
So my battery has been running pretty decently throughout the day. Never have to charge it. Then I went to bed last night and decided not to put the charger in to treat it overnight. Starting at 23% but when I woke up seven hours later it was at 7%. I ran the code for wakelocks and it seemed to work, so I'm not sure what's up.

Woke up to a fully charged phone about half an hour ago and unplugged it. Still at 100% with heavy texting and XDA app..
Doesn't make sense, but we'll see.
I just charged to 100% and wiped battery stats cleared caches and rebooted. Gonna leave my phone alone for an hour then use it for an hour and see how shes doing.
Haha, she. That's cute.
Let me know how it works, I might do that if good results.
Has to be a she, i dont think i could love a man this deeply.
Oh you could! You gotta feel it deep down.
I give up.. its basically exactly the same. No matter what i do. Alarm manager seems to cause the most partial wake locks for me i think.. unless i have touch sounds on then its AudioOut_1 causing the most... im just gonna sit back and wait for aosp a magical fix everything button to show up on my screen.
Edit: I dont know what im doing anyway. Ill just save it for the pro's.
All of a sudden my phone has been deep sleeping.
I haven't really touched it since I unplugged it which was nearly an hour ago and it's still at 100%.
Most I did was take 2 pictures and send a couple text messages and turn my phone to silent.
But the OS is still marked as 55%. F.uck logic?
Edit: Scratch that, phone suddenly reading 97%. What do?
I dunno. I just no im not happy with my brand new phone not lasting a day off the charger. I only had it stock for an hour or two so im probably going to flash stock over the weekend and see how it runs for a couple days.
How heavy is your use? I'm almost convinced your drain is worse than mine.

The LG interface has a glitch with reading battery life. It bounces around quite a bit above 90%. It only gets exact at levels below 90%.
That's fine, but the problem remains.
It's not -horrid- drain, but my phone has been running on battery for the past 3 hours with little interaction and it's at 80%.
I don't know what could still be dropping it. I'm not expecting a perfect battery especially when I've had it for a few days, just doesn't make sense.
Freeze some apps that run in the background or simply delete them.

I haven't bought TB yet. Makes it a little hard to freeze.
Besides, it's the Android OS that's draining it. It sticks to 51-55% no matter what.
Keep Awake is the only thing that's constantly running.
I thought 40-50% is normal for Android OS?
Lawbreaker on another forum said.
"And remember, it is a percentage. The fewer other tasks you perform with the phone, the higher percentage of usage the Android O/S will be.
Basically, if your usage was 25% Display, 15% GPS, 10% Sync, 50% Android OS, and then you stopped using the display, turned off GPS, and killed the sync, your usage would be 100% android OS because you removed everything else using the battery."

To see what is keeping your phone from going into deep sleep, look for wake locks. I use better battery stats to monitor my phone.

Basically, if your usage was 25% Display, 15% GPS, 10% Sync, 50% Android OS, and then you stopped using the display, turned off GPS, and killed the sync, your usage would be 100% android OS because you removed everything else using the battery."

To see what is keeping your phone from going into deep sleep, look for wake locks. I use better battery stats to monitor my phone.

I guess this makes sense considering everything else is really low. My brightness was at 0% during work so I wouldn't get caught texting haha.
The Keep Awake has shown improvement, on for 1h 44m after being unplugged for 5 hours. But near 30% drain seems to be a lot when barely touched.
I'm not concerned with the percentage number as much as I am the keep awake time. I believe if that gets under control, my battery live will be better. I'm not unhappy with going a whole day without charging, but I would like to see it get the best possible battery life.
