I saw that there are quite a few other threads but what I'm interested about is two things :
- an app that monitors and shows a CPU usage graph , what frequencies it used on an interval of hours , percentage of usage.
- an app that shows cpu temperatures which I'm not sure if mik_os's kernel has this stuff unloacked , or does it only need to be rooted ?
Thx and I'm eagerly waiting for sugestions and recomendations.
I use Android Status. It has the graph you're looking for and the percentage of usage. However, I don't think the graph shows data before the time you started the app. I'm guessing you're looking for something like a log, right? With the average frequencies and stuff for a given time?
Does it also read temperatures?

Anybody know of an app that can monitor the current Drain Rate of my battery so that I have something concrete? So I won't have to wait n watch every time after flashing diff. kernels n ROMs
I personally don't use it (Others on here do, though) but the one I see most used is Current Widget - free on the market.
i use battery monitor widget by 3c06. it doesn't display continuous battery drain per se, but it shows the current draw in the status bar, which will give you an idea of battery drain with different roms & kernels. i believe 30-40mA is typical for the Tbolt at resting state
Cool thnx. I'll try em out.
K mine is 252mA resting. Could I be reading it wrong. Coarse I already knew my batt life was abysmal!
Now its 708

the current file only updates once per minute because of the driver, so you have to let it sit idle for at least more than that to truly get the idle power reading. the 252mA reading is not idle but a screen on reading, and the 700mA is with something transmitting or cpu crunching.
just let the phone sit idle for a good while with screen off, then check the current widget logs. TB sees around 40mA for some reason, while most other android phones see about 5mA during idle. kinda stinks but just the way the TB is right now.
[explained better by post above me]

This is what I use as well. With a 5 minute update rate for the history. It also can create a nice text file for you if you want to export the history to PC.
Works great.

mine was doing that too. i flashed perfect storm v1.4 + imoseyon's v1.11 kernel and now i'm getting a steady 40mA at idle
Why can't I just shorten the update rate or punch "update now" to check current status. Anyway that's wat I've been doing n my ratings gen. stay awful. Plus no matter wat state its in, should it ever be as high as 700+?
Nvr mind. I get it: turn off screen, wait n check log.
I'm checkn now. Have feeln its still terrible. It was amazing when I 1st flashed virusROM. I can't figure wats changed. Now I'm bak to getting bout 3hrs (like b4 I rooted) vs. 12hrs+
Anyway, wat does an idle reading tell me? I have 'setCPU', I know its remarkable w the screen off (when I'm not using it) wat should I get or is good for screen on and during usage?
I guess I'll just in-apply setCPU profile to check n compare kernels n ROMs but isn't the screen off parameter built in to most kernels? Doesn't seem like idle reading tells me much.
K I modified the update interval to every 30 sec's, disabled the "setCPU" 'screen-off' profile n then idled (turned the screen off) n found this:
First reading: 590 mA
Sec. reading:556
Third:596
Fourth: 648....
It goes in like this, a couple times going above 800.
WTF!?

Looks like it's charging. Unless you changed the default settings, positive current is charging, negative current is draining (in the usage chart, and in the history).
The current utilities show battery current, not phone current.
Nope. I wish. Those r all - #'s
Also w CPU set relatively low; around 1240 MHz. I've also tried lower.
I Noticed that it is MORE efficient w WiFi turned ON. Actually much more so. Between 2-300mA vs 7-800mA using CDMA auto(PRL)
Seems reversed right? N when I remove the setCPU widget it spikes 100mA more. (setCPU only runs in the background if u use the widget) so when I remove if, battery usage should go down (or least not change) not go up.
Confused
I am getting lower #s w diff kernels. The above #s are w the new kernel. They were much higher b4. Now idle (w setCPU profile off) is between 2-300 mA (setCPU profile on I get 44mA). If I turn off WiFi (yes I mean off) then it spikes btween 5-800 mA idle (screen off)
I'm using:
-ROM; virusROM RC1B3.1,
-Kernel;bamf 4.3 (currently- I've tried plenty others)
I think its the ROM but I'm not willing to switch) I love everything else n it wasn't always like this.
THIS THREAD IS FOR ALL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEVELOPEMENT!!!
I think about 50% of the Post´s in Lees Developement Thread are irrelevant vor him. A Developement Thread is for bugreport, for things which doesnt work, ....
And not for: "When is the next release?" "Can you please include this and this ..." "A third parts app is not working" ...... and so on and so on!
Its Lee´s Rom and its his joice what he will include and what not!
So please Guys post here and keep the Developement Thread clean!!!!!

Can someone confirm, that without the dual core scripts the 2nd core never kicks in? The normal behaviour should be that the 2nd core kicks in when the first core is stressed, e.g. setcpu stress test ore playing a 3D game.
Lee confirmed, that he configured the second core to be not so sensible..and said that he will have a look at the config again.
I think the behaviour of the second core is controlled in the system/bin/mpdecision file...I changed it with one of a Evo 3D cdma rom,after that i saw the first time that my second core kicks in in system tuner, it turned on/off several times - altough it shouldn't be needed.
i think the standard config is too sensible, so it was a good move from lee to lower it - but I think now with the current config it seems that the second core is completly turned off =D
Yep i can confirm! My second score never kicks in! Ive flashed the ondemand patch from first post and undervolted -100 and love the battery life now!

...I don't like the behaviour, that the second core is always on - not very battery friendly
Hope Lee will fix this issue in the next release - hopefully he will use the new base which is flaoting around the gsm forums.

Yeah i know but battery life for my usage is ok! But i know dat right. I really miss 3 days of battery life with my Nexus S! But i know the kernels getting better and better
what do you guys use to change the volt with lee's kernel ?
I am having huge battery drain and cant figure out what it is!?
getting about 100-300 mA in standby 90% of the time and an everything from 450 - 950 mA while using the phone, some times I don't even use any load on the cpu but it still peaks to 900 mA
I am carefully watching a cpu notification while using the phone and it draws usually 300+ mA with max 10 % cpu load with interactive governor
I tried downclock to 192MHz and disabling second core (since it never enables with lee's new rom) and it still uses the exact same mA. so downclock and disabling doesnt help the powerdrain at all
what to do ? just lost about 10 % by 15 minutes of standby !?
my only thought was that the cpu was giving the same voltage no matter what the frequency is, so if there is any app that could change the volt ?
have any of you had huge power drain ? could anyone try to check how much mA your evo uses in standby with the new kernel and rom ?

dont trust the ma values, for me all battery apps are showing 200+ in standby. htc delivers crappy weird ma values and theirs no way to fix that. The dev if battery monitor can confirm that.
...im loosing 1% over night.
Try to reinstall rom without third party app. Are you using htc Mail with exchange - it got a bug which keeps your device awake when in airplane mode.
Theres also an app in the market, where you can check if your phone goes to standby or not..srx dont remember the name - Google it

well have you tried "battery Monitor widget pro" thats the one I am using, it has an fix for evo 3d to fix mA drain
problem is that I calculated the drain by just simple math and it confirms the mA drain ;/ so the program does really appear to be correct
maybe some one else could try "battery Monitor widget pro" and see if they are experiencing the same mA drain with this program ?
but the strange thing is that it wasnt draining so much before the kernel update and rom, and some times it goes down to normal usage but happens rarely
I do not use mail exchange, going to check for the standby program though and try to reinstall without any apps ! thanks for the suggestion

Yeah, know this app but its not working for me, still shows >200 during screen off also with the special evo 3d fix.
..searched about 30 min to find that app:
Cpu spy from market.
it shows you how long your device is on which frequencies or in deep sleep.
Reset the values in the menu and turn your device off. After a minute check the values.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I just tested the cpu spy, and I had the screen off for 5 min, and only deep state was counted, said 90% (5 min)
And 30 second on 192mhz
Seems to be right?
yeah, should be fine. And yourre sure, that you lost 10% of battery in 15min of standby? Try calibrating your battery with battery calibration from market.
charge to 100% and then calibrate.
yes 100 % sure but i wass messing with the the frequency of the cpu , might be what drained the power because today it has been normal standby time
already used battery calibrating, it did get a little better in standby after that.
but i still have huge power drain by just turning on the screen, and typing
i had just sent a couple of messages through "messenger for facebook" throught an hour and it used 20 % battery and I only turned on the screen, unlocked it typed a fast short messages and turned the screen off again a couple of times
I was connected with Edge all the time (gsm) since 3G was turned off to save battery but still huge power drain.
I just feel like every time the screen is on the % start falling fast :s
thats why I wanted to check out undervolting but cant find a app that supports lee's kernel

Use System Tuner from 3c (same dev as battery monitor) to undervolt.
Easy as hell
Haha thanks, lol I had an old version of system tuner that's why I didn't have any voltage control
Seems like my battery life is a bit more normal now, thanks for all the help and time you spent!

Maybe Edge is the problem for your battery-drain! When my Evo is on Edge it needs way more battery as with 3g!
And try to disable "automatic display light" (no plan how it is called in english). I always use the second stage from 4... i hope you know what i mean!

Well I did notice that edge drain at least as much as 3g so no point at disabling 3g, I got my battery a little more stable but still use Huge power drain sometimes
But going to reinstall everything, do a clean wipe and stuff and install only the apps I use not all the cap I got now.
Maybe that will help a bit on the battery
still questioning the LeeDrOiD rom for battery life.
I love the rom but miss battery life, sense 3.5 and the new Android version 4(i know the new android version isn't released for htc evo 3d yet though) but really looking forward to it!
Hey guys, I'm experiencing extremely high AOS usage in the battery stats. It is almost always higher than Display Usage.
SETUP
Rom: HyDrOG3N-ICS 13.05
Kernel: SiyahKernel v3.2.5.1
Battery: Official 2000mah
I've got some UV/UC for CPU and GPU, I don't experience any freezes or slowdown's at all.
I've tried turning off BLN and it didn't affect the AOS usage which means that there must be something else contributing to the high AOS usage.
I've got sync on and some periodic (1hr interval) syncs such as weather. I've got an additional push account. [IMO, this shouldn't be part of AOS]
Does anyone have any ideas how I can find out the culprits for AOS?
betterbaterystats app install an c wats draining....

is that betterbatterystats ? or the normal battery stats in the ics options ?
depending on how much screen on time u have ur next big battery sucker will be Aos (since u stated that u have sync on) if the phone is idle most of the time...
in my case i see Aos usage thru the first half of the day being the most battery sucker, passing afternoon its display and calls with Aos after them and at night i have Aos climb back up top... why? because i leave the phone in my pocket most of the time except for when i need to call/send a msg thru whatever app/sms/mms..... or anything and that keeps the phone awake for that short time and then its back to idle in my pocket and the only thing working is Aos checking email and whatever is on in sync
dont be surprized to see it up top its only natural, but keep track of how much power u lose. Losing 0-5% of battery life an hour on idle(screen off/locked) depending on signal strength with sync on is normal... more than that and i would be looking for any wakelocks or whatever is causing the phone to lose so much battery juice.
i have seen bad modems use even more battery juice just trying to maintain a good signal even with data&sync off and 2g
Not sure how I managed to fix it. There wasn't any out of the ordinary wakelocks. I flashed the 3.2.8.2 siyah kernel and at the same time adjusted the polling rate of BMW. Seems like it was battery monitor widget battery polling rate that contribute to the AOS. I always thought that it would show up as a separate usage stat.
Is there an app that measures the cumulative keep awake time per app versus time ... Along with battery percentage vs time. This would be useful in diagnosing apps that have excessive wakelocks and correlating there keep awake time periods with periods of excessive battery drain. As it stands right now with apps like better battery stats and the stock Android battery app,, you only know the cumulative keep awake or wake lock time as a single number rather than as a graph plotted versus time to overlay on top of the battery drain percentage graph. One always ends up speculating as to when that keep awake time actually occurred vs the battery drain.
So ideally I would want all of those statistics that come up in the stock Android battery app along with wakelock time, such as a CPU time total CPU time awake time etc versus time. A simple way to implement this would be to listen for battery percentage drops like many of the battery monitoring apps already do, but also record all of those other statistics and the current system time at the same time.
Is there anything already out there or anyone willing to add this functionality to their existing app?

Bump.
Can you run the "CPU/GPU Meter & Notification & Monitor & Stats" app by Razor Solutions ltd and tell me your idle cpu percentage? mine never goes below 30%.
On android 7.0, CPU idled at 0-1%.
how do I find out what is causing this in oreo?
edit: so it looks like it's not easy to get cpu usage info in oreo. the app shows the wrong percentage , probably.
