[Q] battery problems after voltage lockups - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so after trying out new voltage settings and multiple lockups, my phones battery has changed. When charging it continues to charge even past 100. It doesnt stop and let it drop to 96 percent then start charging again. My idle time is horrible and I lose around ten percent per hr in idle. Tried reflasging rom, battery stats, and contstant calibration but no avail. Anyone having the same issue?

Download terminal emulator (if you don't already have it) from the market (free) and open it. Type in "su" and hit enter and that will give terminal superuser permissions. Then type "dumpsys power" and hit enter. This will tell you if you possibly have a "partial wake lock" or a "poke lock" which will keep your phone from going into deep sleep when the screen is off. That would be a reason why you are losing a lot of battery in idle mode.

Well, you don't have a partial wake lock but you do have a poke lock. I don't know the significance's of a poke lock but it is probably keeping your phone from sleeping. You can download CPU spy and it will show you if the deep sleep step is being used on your phone. If it isn't, I would suggest reinstalling.

mLock.size =0 means no wake locks.

Reinstalling the rom? Or odin back to stock and reinstalling everything
I checked spare parts and cpu spy and my phone seems to go into deep sleep. there are no rogue apps that stand out.

Well, if your phone is going into deep sleep then the problem is elsewhere. Dumb question but how bright do you keep your screen?

Its on the lowest bright ness. I started noticing problems after a lockup from voltagr changes. It rebooted and indicated a much lower battery percentage level than before the lockup. suggest I mightve up my hardware on the phone? Considering odining back to stock and if that doesn't fix it, might just see if I can return it to best buy

I didn't know that's what you meant. I too have noticed almost everytime my phone freezes due to voltage or speed settings with the otb kernels, the battery is significantly lower than before it froze. The only thing I can think of is that there must be a large voltage leak when there is a freeze. But, my battery is only affected when that happens. Otherwise, battery drain is normal.

I may have found out what has been causing such rapid battery drain. I checked my super user logs and it indicates that voltage control has asked for su permissions a couple dozen times a day. I havnt opened or changed my voltagr settings sincr flashing my most current rom miuiwiz. anyone what could be causing voltage control to open all the time in the background?
