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....
hi guys,
i'm having some problems with the battery life of my LG P500 (with CM7 + Kernel v18.1).
i installed this custom rom because some people told me that it has the best perfomance. But what I see now is a bad battery drain...
what I have to do? Change the CM? The Kernel? Or what?
unfortunately, i accidentally deleted the backup file...
thanks!
After you install a custom rom you need to first wipe your battery stats from your recovery then you can also use battery calibration app also you need to give your phone some time to get used to the performance for the battery life to be accurate you can see this warning in a few roms and in francos kernel thread the performance is better and the battery life is better to issue also suggest turning off your 3g when not using it if you have a 2.3 rom then you can go to cyanogen mod settings if it has it and add it to your notification buttons my battery on medium to heavy use will last 24-36 hours where with stock rom maybe 10

thanks, man! =D
well, i don't use 3G... i keep this turned off. ;D
so, this is the only thing that i can do? Wipe battery stats?
i did this right now... let see...
There's not much you can do that has actual effect on the battery life. Keep wifi & 3G off when u don't use them is usually the first advice. Unfortunately overclocking means that your battery will drain out very fast. Mine's on charge via USB-cable most of the day, and using wifi or playing games for 40 mins means at least -20% battery power.
i know about wifi and 3g... ;D
and what about custom roms and kernel? my cobination could be a problem? =\

CM7 (6.5.5) comes with franco's kernel, and as far as I know, that's the best one at the moment, so I don't think that is the problem either. it's just how this ROM is ... you're not the only one with the same problem lol
how many things are you running in the background?
I've had issues with a couple programs eating cpu in the background.
oh and brightness makes a large difference.
if you have missed message flasher running by either flashing the screen or vibration's that will also drain the battery fast.

this is something that i'm really looking... the apps that are running in the background... and something that i think very strange is the maps app... it is running though i didn't open it... o.o
the same thing happens to the equalizer...
they run without i know... so, i go there and cancel them. =s
flashing the screen or vibrations i have disabled. ;D
thanks!
if maps is running that is what is killing your battery .
if you want maps
get titanium backup and backup (or if you have paid freeze) the app and restore/unfreeze when you want to use it.
Yes Maps can drain the battery a lot lol
ps. you can see what is using your battery if you goto
settings ----> about ---> battery use
Lucky you can turn off 3g I'm on a provider that won't work unless I have it enabled -_- lol
My main reason for flashing a custom ROM is the ability to change permissions for each app that has been merged into CM and is part of mik's port. That combined with droidwall is a very important tool to battle the privacy violations with so many apps. That means that I didn't overclock, but I still saw an incredible battery drain on 6.5.5 + 18.1. Plus I was getting a weird log error with droidwall. I appreciate all the efforts on behalf of the developers, and I really hope to get a stable rom that would let me modify permissions of all apps with good battery life. Everything else is secondary.

Google maps will not drain battery until u have data enabled,same applies for other processes running in background.
And overclocking also doesnt drain battery faster as said on franko tweaks page.
(Correct me if i am wrong)

False, read this about overclocking and battery, analyze the chart
And with google maps plus other similar apps running in the background, it will try to connect and find a connection therefore draining battery.
processes that only run in mine are:
google services (1process, google messaging service)
android keyboard ( dont tell me u dont know that )
pretty much those are necessary for your phone to be functional.

I got OC info from this page.
And abt maps,i have stated that it will not consume battery when data is NOT enabled.
Anyways thanks for those charts.
But as per my personal experience,OC doesnt drain battery faster
Use v18 CFS, not v18.1 .. i had the later and the battery drain was huge. Switch to 18, charge to 100%, wipe battery stats, use until completely discharged then charge again and see if that helps. OFC not even v18 can compete with the stock (or even mik's kernel) in terms of battery life, but if you want performance...
For me the best option was mik CM 6.5.5 and fk v17 cfs!! Definitely feels stable all the time!!
thank you, guys!
well... i really made a little mistake... the battery life improves with the fkv18 cfs. isn't a awful improvement, but is something.... =D
should i change to v17? =s
how i can see, CM 6.5.5 is the best option...
thanks!

Hm, i thought devs like andy and a couple other devs mentioned it before that g-maps & other similar apps will consume a %tage of batt. It's similar to bgsyncs. You can see for urself and log then block it with droidwall.
let's say:
you got every connection off (wifi, 3g off, only 2g for messages/sms otherwise none) > g-maps running > it will TRY to FIND a connection at a specific interval e.g. ~20min. > therefore consuming resources. I dunno about the latest versions of google trashes though (maps got offline support)
About oc'ing, yeah 122-480ish consumes the same BUT not if your phone is demanding more cpu to complete tasks, i.e @ 122 clocked it completes the tasks at a longer time than 320 wc is fast, just balance it if you are gaming or just using it for web browsing/sms/calls/music/minimal gaming like me( ~2.5 days atm im on 320/729 v18 bfs smartass & it's good enough).IIRC franco told this on his earlier pages on the kernel topic

Correct me if I'm wrong but for a 2.3.4 rom shouldn't you be using the BFS version of Franco Kernel? I believe that CFS is for Froyo roms (at least that's what Franco himself told me on a post a few weeks ago)

Hi Guyz,
I am using optimus one for the past 6 months and have 3 major problems..
1. Scrolling in Launcher pro which was silky smooth once upon a time stutters a lot now a days. i tried different roms, posted a thread on this forum , tried the suggestions but still the same issue exists. When the rom is new, before my set of apps are installed, launcher pro works smooth. but once my apps are installed, it gets back to stutter pro. PLease help
2. Battery drain. - I used to get One and half days of battery without the data on. Its been a week since i subscribed to unlimited gprs pack and with the data on, on 2g mode, with auto sync off, my battery s drained a lot. even in stock rom, it went down from 70 percent to 8 percent in 7 hours. with franco kernel. I also tried froyofinal, void, lol, mik gingerbread, stock gingerbread roms and .. same results.... i used facebook and downloaded a lot durin tht 7 hours. is tht normal...?
3. Minor issue.. When i lock the device and then press back key or any other key after the device is locked, for a split second i get to see the desktop and then only the lock screen appears. some times i used to see a blurred dotted image(we get it wen the cable connection is off). and then the lock screen. This issue exists in stock rom with franco kernel itself... Y?
Please help guyz.....
1. You say once upon a time your launcher pro was smooth. Try reverting to the same configuration you had then and see if this issue is fixed.
2. If you did downloads, then I would say it may be normal. Keep it idle, i.e only a few calls and sms and then see the drain.
3. This happens in franco kernel. Small issue.
make sure u dont use live wallpapers.. they really screw up the phones performance..
for battery drain its.. quite good.. if u downloaded a lot. calibrate battery and then try once again.
i would say u should try miks 6.5.5 with fk v18 cfs.. it gives best battery life with 2g.. and has best performance too
I tried mik's Rom . Still the battery drain is noticeable. And more over the call volume s too loud . Is there any way to reduce it .
And i also calibrated the battery and i don't use live wallpaper. Any other suggestions

J.k signing off using XDA app on OPTIMUS PRIME
Any live widgets that you use, they do contribute lots in battery drain
Use startup manager and see what apps are loaded on startup and remain in memory there might be some you will like to remove, maps also causes lot of battery drain, remove it from startup

I'm also facing this issue. I'm using CM7 6.5.4 with v18.1 Franco's Kernel. People have said v18.1 kernel had very bad battery life and I am experiencing this like everyone else. The performance of 18.1 is amazing, but battery is being drained to fast. I'm going to revert to a lower version of the kernel and see if battery life is better.

That right there. You are obviously installing one or a few apps that are taking up much CPU. You need to try and scale back. I would install your apps back one at a time until you find what app(s) might be causing your stutter.
And quit bumping your topic 2-3 times in a day... FFS people will get to you, chill....
hey,
I've a problem: When the battery of my X10 is under 20%, the phone shuts down automatically. When I start the phone again, it works till the next shut down. (this can take 5 minutes or 2 hours. Its different)
When I use the phone without turning it in standby, I can use it till the battery complete empty.
Is anything defect, or is it normal?
rom: WB V6 on stock kernel, but with stock rom, it was the same.
sorry for my language, I'm from germany
greeting, Tobi
Have u used battery monitor widget to get that it always shutting down at 20% , mine does it at 40% . Mines fine if im using it but if its in standby . . . Shutdown ... I then switch it on and says I got 20-35 battery and phone charges very fast back up to 100 . I think my battery is buggered which is what I think is wrong with yours. I could recommending a temp fix of freezing it battery overnight then charging for like 8 hours . Sometimes helps ..

Hi mate
I don't know what you mean by accu(I understand you meant battery level?) It sounds like one of the old kernels they were making, are you sure you are on stock kernel?
You could try flashing another rom on a ftf file with flashtool.. but try to charge phone when its off.let me know.

I definitely heard this issue on old roms so make sure you flash the latest patches updates for that rom and follow well the installation procedure(factory reset,wiping cache,dalvik,bat stats)
If after charging the phone (offline) it does not charge, try to flash a ftf firmware with flashtool.
I have this too on all Roms but it starts at 35 and keeps doing it until 0, bad calibrated battery i think. Had this on 2.1 once and it was gone without me doing anything, weird Battery.

Yes I had the problem with stock SE rom too.
I already tried battery stats with xrec, but same problem.
I've also the newest updates for my rom ( wolf v6). Do you think I should try it with another kernel? Now I have stock.
Or I flash my rom & kernel again..

Since I did this, I dont have the problem!
thanks for help!
btw: The problem was not solved with the new rom..
1 week ago, I bought a new battery and now my phone doesn't shut down all the time
-> my battery is defect
I am currently in discussion with 3 UK and they have informed me that the fault is because of a faulty glue joint, which they claim is my fault for dropping the handset. I am wondered how many people are actually having this issue, and what network you are on?
WTH?!I am using speed rom 8, stock kernel, and my battery jumps around like crazy, has anyone else had had his issue? I think its probably a bad battery. Sometime it falls off insanely quick and at the low end it just dies around 20% or so then I reboot and it up around 30...any ideas?

This has happend to me even on stock. It's purely a battery issue, I went hiking and my phone got slightly moist, and the warranty sticker on the battery went red. See if you have one on your battery, I took mine to my carrier and told me its was covered under HTC's warranty.
This happened to me on stock but tmobile sent me a new phone for $5 and that resolved my issue.
When I was using speed ROM I noticed the same thing with my battery. I don't remember how it was with stock so I can't comment there.
But I have attached a picture of my ROM battery life now that I've switched to the fusion ROM and so far it seems better.
The only thing I can see from the graph you've posted is that your screen was on slightly longer than mine, but that's no reason for such terrible battery.
Might be the ROM and I hate to suggest it, but you might be better of if you try another ROM.

That's what was happening to me + random reboots the first time I flashed speed rom 8. Thought it was the rom so I switched to Infusion, but was getting the same thing and data stopped working.
Here what I did which seems to have resolved the issue for me:
1) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe
2) Flashed the stock ICS RUU (I used the R2 variant)
3) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe again
4) Flashed SpeedRom 8
5) Did NOT turn on Google Now - It's a battery hog but was not related to the stability issues.
Now i'm running SpeedRom 8 and it's perfectly stable with great battey life. Only thing I've noticed is I seem to not be able to run Wi-Fi and Blutooth at the same time. Wi-Fi will drop out within 10 - 20 minutes if I do. Can't get it back unless I turn of BT and turn off Wi-FI and turn it back on. Weird but livable.
