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....

Recently my battery charging took like 2 hrs for about 10% when phone is on. Charged normaly when its off. I did clean install of FreeX10-beta4 and Black & White Theme CM Black Bar - Miui Fixed v0.4.2 but problem is still here. I cleared battery stats, dalvik cache and all that.
Do i need a new battery or is there some trick to it?
Sorry for bad english and thanks in advance
Do u have battery drain issues too?
I had a similar issue to when i ran that rom. I am running a different one thats in my signature with no issues
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
Not really. It lasts for about a day with moderate use. More or less the same as the stock rom. I guess i can try Cyanogen or some other rom to see is there any change before buying new battery
I think the rom in my signature runs beautifully. A lot better than the free x10 froyo. U should that one or wolfbreaks. Those r the top CM i heard about. I have no issues with the one i am on

I suspekt putting apps to sd drain my battery, even got a worse performance. Maybe because of a slow SD card.
Running wolfis cm 6.1.3 4.5.7 if i remember correctly

Anyway..i suggest you to use 'seepu' application from market to keep under control your cpu activity and to find if there are some loop of something else!! And also battery eta application that show you your actualy battery drain so you can also compare roms!!
Cheers

I charged my battery to 100%, took it out and put it back in, when it booted it was at 1% for some reason but it charges normally again :s. I have only few apps so i dont use app2sd or anything like that.
Anyhow ill try some other rom anyway just to see if there's any big difference coz battery is my biggest problem on any phone
Thank you for the tips
Hi guys...
I just flashed my X10 Mini Pro but it is still having the same problem...restart by itself even i didn't do anything to that phone...( i already used this phone from january 2011 till now..) android version 2.1...
please...what should i do?
i don't know how to solve this....
=(
What ROM are you using... give people a little more information before asking.
My mini pro have been restarting too until I turned off JIT. Go to Settings→CM Settings→Performance→Ok, uncheck Use JIT and reboot. It should improve stability at cost of performance.
I think I just post here...
My x10 mini pro started to behave strange (firstly lags, freezes, reboots, later just constant reboots) about 2-3 weeks ago. I thought ok, I probably screwed something. Later not only while heavy use, but even after entering pin it rebooted, the pin->reboot->pin->reboot cycle went for some time (2-5 times mostly), usually waiting few minutes before entering pin or airplane mode helped (but after turning it off phone rebooted).
So 3 days ago I had enough, I used SEUS. But it's happening again! I reflashed again, restored only texts, synced with google account, nothing more, but phone rebooted few times.
So I'm wondering, does the phone have hardware issues or did SEUS leave some earlier stuff on phone memory?
(ROM 2.1.1.A.0.6)
Sorry for my bad english. Nov to the theme im having the same problem. onley thing that helped was to turn off all data conectionf via 2G/3G mobile network. So i can use just Wi-Fi when ever i connect to the internet whit mobile 2G/3G the phone restarts just like you discribed...
@j000
I think there is something wrong with hardware and I suggest you to give your phone to service. You can also check if turning off mobile data will fix it.
@Jurasek88
Trying to fix it isn't worth of effort so the best way is to do full backup of user data with Titanium, reinstall ROM you are using and restore data. If it doesn't help, you should give it to service or live without mobile data.
Tried various ROMs. Tried turning off JIT.
At the beginning everything works fine, then after a few days it's restart a day, the a couple restarts a day. 2 weeks later it restarts almost every hour.
It's so frustrating i feel like smashing the damn phone on the wall. I could install the original old SW, but it's a joke. What a piece of crap this SE.
Am I alone in this?

I am usin GinTonic.SE by slade.. No random reboots no battery drain, damn stable n fast.. So make a try fo this.. N dont foget to make a complete wipe after flashin the ROM.. I hope it helps..
Gintonic.SE by slade..
OmegaRED: With 2G I get EXCELLENT battery life. The longest I ever had. DX appears to be stable... No reboots at all. Nice.
I wonder what makes it suck battery like crazy in 3G....
faiyyaz: Thanks for the reccomendation. As long as DX is stable I think I'll stick to it... Is Gin Tonic better than DX in your opinion?

I recommend CyanoComb 1.4 and GingerDX v12 , stable and long last battery life (>> 2 days for me )
but I got problem when touching in 2.3.5 (always miss in typing letters in the corners ==!) so I chose CyanoComb 1.4

both are great roms for battery life but my vote goes to gdx. aside from it being a gb rom, it's constantly being updated. it's only gonna get better.

Most GingerBread ROMs are basically the same. What's differ is framework, theme and apps-pack.
Theme should not make any difference in stability or battery-drain.
Framework and apps-pack will.
Try to remove som preinstalled apps like DSP manager (removing this will increase performance and battery life).
paul-xxx made 2 ROMs that are the same framework, but diff theme and apps-pack. I find SonyBread insanely stabel (manually removed DSP manager). Not a single reboot since i startet using this (2 weeks now).
achyut made a list of apps he removed. get inspiration from this
yes most of the 2.3.5 roms drain battery, i installed advanced task manager so u can check which apps are always starting up in the background and try freezing with titanium backup to make sure they dont effect the running of device...make sure your not signed into latitude, disabe gprs and the'use my location ' for alot of useless things running,and a big 1 for me was the auto sync in settings-account n auto sync...all these help but no way as long as 2.1! iv just installed minicm7 pro 8, claim battery drain is fixed, by paulxxx BIG THANKS paul esp if battery consumptions improved
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.

they run without i know... so, i go there and cancel them. =s
flashing the screen or vibrations i have disabled. ;D

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)

So I FINALLY took the time to update it from 2.1.9 to 2.2.0 yesterday, since I've been busy and haven't had time ever since the release.
I noticed it's running a lot faster (although on 2.1.9, I've never had a problem with speed or performance anyway). Google Play market doesn't lag at all, I could download multiple apps and at the same time check out other apps without any lag or interference. I also noticed that the keyboard light bug is fixed too.
However, I did notice once problem though and I think some people have experienced this as well. The battery drain is crazy fast. I went to sleep with my phone at 14%, after 6 hours I find it down to 4%. 10% drain in 6 hours of idle use is just crazy. I've never had a battery problem on 2.1.9, in fact it was so awesome that I could let it sit idle for 6 or 7 days.
I've installed the same apps on 2.2.0 as I did on 2.1.9. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just the common usual apps that most people use, like GoSMS etc. I haven't overclocked at all, everything is on stock/default settings. I do use underclock and my own custom settings on 2.1.9, but I just wanted to test 2.2.0 before making any changes to it and judging from this, the battery life is really bad on just stock settings.....
I've turned off wifi & bluetooth, and set the mobile network to 2G and data disabled. I normally just use my phone for txting. I don't listen to music or watch videos at all because I use my iPad or iPod Touch for that, since they have bigger screens. I also don't use internet that much unless I do an occasional app update from Google Play market. I also don't call much either.
I've already wipe battery stats from recovery, and will do more testings. One thing I must note though, the charging takes really fast.......
+1, it's true. I've read that the battery drain is related to the signal too. Maybe is variable to each of us. More feedback of other users about this will be appreciated
Haha! Yes man YES!!! I saw this fast charge too. I'm uninstall all social app. All app who use data , sync and etc. I say in MINICM tread this come from kernel and when my 3G I on I'm lose my batt for a 3 , 4 hours. NAa come up and start saying its Android fool. I not answer him coz I respect that boy but how the hell when I'm on 2.1 3G work like it be , phone not rise temprature, battery last long -17h and so on but in minicm its give bug ? I can't understand coz baseband its same 3G chip is same. I say this coz NAa tell chip work with baseband not with kernel or ROM.....
ANYWAY now I'm on hard searching for a PC coz im sick of this ROM and can't handle it anymore!!!
Its camera bug , radio bug or what ewer other bug , dalvick bug ,clasex bug and so ob WILL NOT BOTHER me coz I can live with it but BATTERY ?!! NO SIR I CANT.
Ewen now while I type this post its drop 3% !! For a one post
I'm tired to charge phone 2 times a day.
I'm tired to apply tricks ju-defenders and hell of stufs just for save battery
In fact my ST15i its with same GB ... but from Sony.
In fact usage of phone is same as my robyn
In fact ST15i last 3 days - robyn -3 hours.
Notice this: apps are same data sync wifi and etch seting same.

I appreciate you sharing your opinion, but I don't like your tone. Nobody is forcing you to use nAa's rom, the least you can do is give constructive feedbacks and point out bugs so that he can fix and improve upon them.
I haven't had any problems on v2.1.9 except for the occasional keyboard lights and wifi, although the wifi might just be related to my router because it works fine when I'm at UNI. I guess it's gotta do with the custom kernel, but I use my iPod Touch or iPad on wifi most of the time anyway. Other than that, I would prefer a custom rom over a stock rom any day.
And btw, the battery problem for me isn't that bad. I charged it to 100% yesterday morning, and today I still have 65% left. I estimate that I get about 2 days worth of usage from a 100% full charge. It's acceptable somewhat, just that on v2.1.9 it would last me about 3 or 4 days.
If you really dislike it, switch everything back to stock and don't complain.
Yep I'm goin to do back to 2.1
And I thing buy Ipad Iphone and Isiktir to coz they are better.
Yeah I can live without custom ROM
In fact I can live without phone.
Point myself to NOKIA LUMIA - the next gen SP

Like the title says:
I use the stock rom and after the Update on ICS i noticed my phone is getting really hot even when im not using it. I tried using advanced task killer to close app running in the background and i also close every app i use in ics multitasking... its draining battery very fast! 40 % in 30 minutes. Its not warm the whole time just sometimes it gets warm and drains battery... dont know what to do :/

Taskiller self can take very much battery and make phone hoter. I really dont see + for using them. You need just check battery menu which app take so much battery and then we can help you more.

Taskkiller itself is not running in background. i use it sometimes to look which app are running in background and to kill the ones i dont need. The problem is the battery status is looking normal. Display 33% phone 19% and some other apps do also drain battery.... but the problem is its only getting warm when i dont use it. sometimes when its laying on my desk i pick it up and notice this. when i look at my battery then its sometimes 20% less then 10 minutes before when i checked facebook for example. for me this must be something with the firmware or not? or some hardware defect?
maybe take it to a mobile service
Did you make wipe after ICS update? Maybe its a bad configuration after the update.
Also, you can try CPU Spy in Google Play and tell us if phone is on state "deep sleep" (when you lock the phone, it should enter this state where battery drain is minimal).
Make screenshot of Battery Usage screen and post it here.
Then install BetterBatteryStats, use it for few days, then make screenshots(Partial Wakelocks, Alarms and Processes) and post these here.
I have the same problem, but I know it comes from the Exchange service. Sometime it becomes crazy and drain the battery + heat the phone.
For now, I just have disabled my Exchange account... Not really a good solution.
I have found others thread talking about this problem on other phones (all with ICS), but found no answer.
I did not made any wipe, nor before, nor after the update (from stock GB to stock ICS).
It's not very helping, I fear...
just a few senteces about my day:
The battery was loading untill 7:15 today then i went to school; my phone in silence mode and i used it for 4-5 whatsapp messeges and maybe 3 facebook checks and 1 or 2 instagram checks.
it got hot a few times again and its on 34% now. really bad i would say. on gingerbread i had like 60-80% after a half day in school with much more use.
Now i looked what drained Battery. in ics i cant take screenshot so i just write it down:
40% Facebook Calendar Sync
19% Display
10% Phone
8% STandby
6% WLAN
5% Android Core Apps
4% Facebook
4% Android OS
2% Android System
This is the first time i look at the battery drain seeing that Calendar Sync is taking so much Battery. I still believe it could be something else because before it was nearly the same without calendar sync and display on first place.
So for now i think im going for a wipe, hoping it will be better then.
i will share my experience with you asap. :good:
woah, 40% on that FB crap?
also, the system standby usage seems a bit large also.
try to wipe it, maybe flash some other ROM and see if it helped you.
a healthy battery usage would have display at 70% or so, phonecalls 15%, then all the rest.
depends on your usage tho.
but something is definetly wrong with your phone.
you said that the problem occured after you updated it,
so i think the hardware is out of the question (if the phone worked normal before the update), i'd definetly flash something there, the stock rom is useless anyways..
there are very good roms even if you have locked BL, check kamarush and the new CyanogenTimescape rom also.
keep us updated about ur problem
Cheers!

what do you mean with there are good roms that do not need unlocked BL. Can i just flash them through windows without rooting?

No, you can flash them using CWM. Here they are:

you must root first, then copy the rom to SD, reboot in CWM, and install from there. it's pretty straightforward from there on just make sure you select "locked bootloader" when prompted.
After the update from gb to ics I didn't notice a much higher battery drain. I use it like on gb and on my feelings battery lifetime stays equal to gb. I have got an unlocked bootloader but still on stock rom using rage kernel ics 3.2.

Soooo. I looke up what have drained my battery and it seems that the Xperia Facebook sync (The stock sync thats buildin in the normal firmware) have drained the battery. on GB everything worked fine. Now i deactivated the sync and the battery life is much better. It seems that my phone also stopped getting hot. But for me GB still had a better battery life. Today i woke up at 7 am (germany) and played Football Manager a few times between the lessons and in a free lesson so im at 16% battery now (should be ok because the football manager drains a lot of battery) and battery usage shows:
64% display
16% FMH 2012 (football manager)
7% Android System
5% Mobilfunk-Standby
4% Facebook
etc etc etc.
looks normal for me :good:
guys my battery life is fine now but i have freezes now... if i use my phone for whatsapp it sometimes just completely freezes. no chance to see a reaktion for any button any ideas wtf is going on there?
Battery drain that you've encountered is definitely not normal. I get about 3 days on ICS, and think that is what you should be getting as well. Crappy FB application is either bugged or broken, because you're not the first one that got their battery drained by FB calendar sync. My advice would be to remove FB calendar sync service, or disable it somehow, if you're not using it.

On the xmp with ics you have xperia facebook. its a facebook calendar, contacts etc sync by sony. This was the app draining my battery. i disabled it and now i have like 1 1/2 day battery with normal usage.
And for my problem with the freezes. i removed all bloatware i could but my phone is not rooted. i was thinking about rooting but i'm kinda new to the xmp roms and its hard to find ics ones that are working perfectly. before i had an lg p990 and i was using cm7.2. it was working like a charm.
i know how to root the xmp i saw some tutorials but im still not convinced

Try to open Facebook, scroll many news until the phone start to go slower... Then, scroll a little more, and then go on Whatsapp or other app, you'll find a surprise
