battery drain - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi sorry to bother everyone but i'm kinda sick of failing atm
I hate how the battery life is so short on the x10 so then i looked at eric's ewjet rom. some guy said he got 4 days battery
BUT when i;ve installed it, it always drains in less than a day
i;ve reinstalled it about 3 times already. can some1 help me?
and could u maybe outline the steps simply?

unfortunately X10 are the well known device that drains battery quicker than many other phones. You might want to wait 2 days or 3 to wait for the new GB 2.3 firmware to be released as it is told that it will improve problems of battery consumption

My girlfriend gets around 50 hours with thi phone, some surfing, and quite a bit playing games, she gets nearly triple the battery life that i get with my sensation. Edit: this is with wolfbreaks rom, she is quite happy with it. damn i need some sleep

On the stock x10, there are a bunch of apps that run in the background that really don't need to.
Another thing you can do is install something like a Task Manager and end applications that aren't being used. An example, is that if I open my camera app and close it when I am done, my camera app stays open for hours after I have exited the program....I could kill it using Task Manager.
Don't use animated desktop....keep bluetooth and data and wifi off when you aren't using them.
My stock phone would only last a day. My BlueSpark ROM, with light use, will run for 2.5 days without having to recharge. When I made my own custom ROM, that was very minimalist, it lasted for 3 days of light use with no charge.

You could try flashing a different baseband, I've heard that'll help.

I'm on Wolfbreak's rom and I only get 1 day out of the battery. What baseband is she on?

[Q] Please help a newb!

Hello,
I'm new to android and new to rooting/roms, but I've developed a bit of knowledge in a short time, so please bear with me. I am currently running Das Bamf Remix 1.6 with stock Kernal. It should be noted that I did a full Davlik/Data cahce wipe and reset battery stats prior to flashing. It has been running great and battery life has been good for a week. Two days ago out of the blue my gmail temporarily wouldn't sync (it showed I had mail but wouldn't display the message), but withing 5 minutes I was able to get it to work again and havn't had the problem since. Then this morning I woke up to find that the phone rebooted itself in sleep mode during the night while I was sleeping. Does anybody know why these things happened?, other than those two incidents, the phone has been perfect. Thanks in advance for your help!
Phone will ocasionally reboot out of no where. Some times its few and far between, other people tweak their phone to where its instable and it reboots daily. If its once a week, your good.
I have seen that bug with gmail too. Dont know what causes it, or what clears it. I usually reboot and it goes. But it will also clear in time.
Thanks for the info. What have you found to be the best battery kernal for das bamf?, the included kernal or is there something else you recommend?
every phone is going to like kernels different, just pick one to test, see if battery life goes up or down after a few days. Then try another... keep going to you find one YOU like the best.
Im still rocking one of Imosyn's old kernels. Its doing great for me so I just havent bothered upgrading. I just hit a new record of 65 hrs this weekend on a single charge but that was extremely light usage.
What Imosyn Kernal version are you using on the Thunderbolt?, or are you on a different phone?. I just want to use the one that most people are having success with, have you heard what is the most popular for TB?, because when I google, I get a million different answers.

O.O crazyyyy
use one of the 3 big dogs, imoseyon, ardynalyne, or ziggys (from his web site)
from there you need to decide if you want overclocked or under volted. that will narrow it down to a handfull. From there you will have to test what works best on your phone. No one can tell you what will work best on your phone.
the one im using from imoseyon you wont find anywhere, and i wont give it out. He doesnt support it anymore so no sense in worrying about it.
Thanks, I can sense what kernal your using...

[Q] Another battery thread whith a diffrent approach.

Im starting this thread because of every battery thread I've read people NEVER seem to solve the problem unless they replace their ATRIX. Now a few questions. This is directed to any ATRIX owner in an attempt to find a solid solution.
1. Did your ATRIX only start having battery issues after upgrading to gingerbread?ATRIX or have you had issues beginning from stock froyo?
2. Has any solution suggested by anyone ever worked for you?
3. Does your ATRIX get hot and battery drains extremely fast?
4. Are you frequently connected to 4g H+?
If you answer no. To #2 and yes to #3 I suspect it may be a hardware problem...
on the battery this is what I see and find strange and this is the battery that came with the phone.
1880mah
1880/1930
Mah(min/typ)
7.0/7.1
Wh(min/typ)
Idk where to find production number so I guessed its this [GB/T 18287]
On the phone idk the specific so I took a guess too XD [SKU:65230]
if someone knows the two above please correct me but anyways I posted those because we can compare for those that have a problem and maybe pinpoint it to be a factory defect. Again I am doing this because this battery AND heating issue is aggravating and after 2 months I can't stand it anymore no fixes ever worked so help me and those with the issue out by providing information thanks.
Hello,
1-Yes
2-Not really, I have increase the battery life but not good as the stock Froyo.
3-Yes, but as I remember it get hot too on Froyo. Less or more... I don't know.
4-Always
I have buy an Andida 2200mAh battery and use it since 3 week, I will return to the stock battery tomorrow to check if there is a difference.
1- Nope, my battery has always lasted for around 8-10 hours everyday. (I play games and browse the internet everyday).
2-Never had any battery problem so....
3-Not at all. My Atrix has always been cool.
4. for about 4-5 hours a day (usually i am on wifi but wifi or not.....i have the same battery life).
It could be a ROM problem that you are having, maybe doing a clean install of a ROM could help you(do a complete wipe before installing the ROM). Are you using faux 123's kernel? It under-clocks your Atrix to as low as 216 GHz when your handset is idle but overclocks it to 1.1 GHz when it use. You could download setcpu to under-clock it for better battery saving and this will make your phone less hot.
You can and should also download a battery app from the market and see what your battery temp is like compared to other users. If it's a hardware issue indeed, you better return your Atrix and get a new one asap as it could cause you harm in the future.

That's just it with everything stock gingerbread my friends ATRIX doesn't heat up as hot and eat through batteries like a fat guy an a dozen doughnuts in one sitting. We both had stock when I tried this his phone easily outlasts mine both on 4g and a factory reset I tested this when he asked me to root his phone I was gunna kill its bat and charge it to root and install unlock etc. And to my surprise holy sh#t his battery life WAY outlasted mine, AND HIS DEVICE IS ONE.MONTH OLDER i've had this ATRIX for 2 months now so its none of whatever everyone is saying about battery caliBS its a firm suspicion on a hardware flaw, the sooner people can find it the sooner Motorola can replace defective handsets, ridiculous, two stock gingerbread motorolas with 100% stock and mine only lasts about had as
long as my friends own who gets battery results everyone brags about.
i own 3 atrixes ive had an atrix since launch day had its issues at first but one thing that was never a problem was the battery it was always amazing lasted 2 days sometimes well since the offical ota uPdate i updated only one that way its my main phone and right away i noticed the heat coming from the metal clip holding the sd card then next i noticed the batt life was losing 10 every 20 mins or so. since i have rooted it just so i could try n use tb to freeze all the bloatware and still nothing then i tryed just bout every other method on this forum so i didnt wanna lose my warrenty on that 1 so i didnt unlock it so i took my other atrix with a slightly cracked screen it was running on 4.1.26 so i rooted it unlocked it and charged too 100 then flashed to alien v3 so wen it was done it upgraded to gb and right away i noticed the heat from it just like my other one and battery life was losing 10% every 20 mins just like my other one i have also tryed everything on this forum im lost now dnt no wat to do somebody please help also as upset i am about this happing im very relieved to c im not the only person with this issue

[Q] MIUI-NB lags

Hi!
I tried to search for the solution, but didn't find one.
I've installed MIUI-NB ROM recently (unfortunately, I cannot post there, because I don't have 10 posts to post in developers' forums; if somebody can append the question to that topic, I'd appreciate).
Generally, I like this ROM very much, but today I have experienced HUGE lags when accessing the Internet via mobile data (especially noticeable on 3G). Load average jumps to 8 and more, lags are so noticeable that render the phone unusable. Did someone experience that?
Reboots do not help. Switching to WiFi cures the lags immediately, thought the load remains pretty high (about 2.5).
Did someone else experienced that and can give a bit of advice, please?
I did, I couldn't figure it out. I believe it has to do with either kernal or modem. Try miui LE 9.1 which is what I have with the kb5 modem and its super fast. I've haven't experienced any lag yet.

Its more likely do to the fact that he adds to much bloat and useless apps....hogging up all the ram.
I also use lithium with kb5 modem....can't beat it
Hey, i was a NB supporter, and loyal too, but it started to crash on me lately so today i went to Miui PRIME and so far.. its AMAZING no lag what so ever.
I heard Lithium was good too but i asked one guy and he said he got 8 hrs from light usage... so i was like ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
I was also on NB but it was too laggy ...so had to move on to lithium 9.1 ...which is working great
I had to go back to cm7, I started to get reboots during calls and had to take the battery out to shut it off. If i put the battery in it would fire up on its own. That was a first.
Ok here's an update I'm on LE 9 and I'm at 72% battery at 7 hours. Ill give you guys a total of hours when down to 2%.
This is with light to moderate usage, YouTube, FB, xda, web, texts and calls
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Don't expect great battery life with any miui...I think the best I've gotten was around 12 hrs with lite use....I went and got cpu master and uv'd to 800 but im not sure it really helps but it definitely oc's very well

Battery usage isnt a huge prob for me, my problem is after a week or two ive gotta reflash the same rom, setup my apps. hate too but im thinking of flashing back to stock and running bionix. not having a stable build is getting frustrating.

How's the battery life on MIUI Prime? My phone, too, has been crashing after a day's use. I would have to restart it every 1-2 days in order for it to become responsive again. It gets annoying and I'm already contemplating on going back to 2.2 again. lol
Agreed I've been thinking the same thing.
Ok guys last update on my battery before I go to sleep. I'm at 6% battery left and it has lasted me 16 hours. I am using juice defender so that is helping. I used the phone to listen to music, FB, text, calls.
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
I was on bionix, and it was starting to drag and GPS wouldn't lock. so I wanted to try a newer ROM, just flashed MIUI-NB, but the low battery life worries me.
OK look at it this way....you know how your computer starts out really fast and all...then after awhile ....after so many downloads and websites visited it starts to slow down and then starts freezin up and all that....well that's what's happening to your phone,after all...it is a computer.
What I do is completely wipe everything including formatting system and SD and external SD...reflash your favorite rom and WHAM! Fast as hell again.
Thing to remember is all the BS you install and uninstall,isn't completely gone....its there and its hogging up your ram.
Just a hint guys... this rom your talking about is slap full of bloat alot of it is needed just to get fair results becuz of all the crap that's been done to it .
I'm back to 2.2 after almost 8 months of playing with miui and gingerbread,and I've realized something....the grass isn't greener on the other side.....especially when the proper files have not been released.
I do not mean to offend anyone...I am just posting my opinion off what I see after many many flashings.
I love miui with all the customizing that is made available with it but its just not what it could or should be and probably never will be and you can thank Samsung and T-Mobile for that.....unfortunately the vibrant is fading out as with the smartphone before it and the one before that.
One thing is for sure though.....the vibrant was the beginning of a Great Era. and that is a fact

Is this battery performance normal on ICS LPQ?

Hi, I just recently flashed the LPG ICS Rom to my phone 2 days ago. I did the wipe and flashed through mobile Odin. I restored some of my apps and data with Titanium (also uninstalled most of the samsung apps)
I already did a battery recalibration (pulling the battery at 100% etc.) but I am getting pretty bad numbers. Just 7 hours tops, I guess a lot more if I dont turn on the phone but I guess this is really wrong.
Am I missing something? Should I uninstall or disable something more? This exact configuration gave me minimun 12 to 14 hours on a stock not ICS ROM.
Also I should mention that I am using Juice Defender Ultimate with connection intervals of 5 minutes, pretty average settings.
Any suggestions, tips or guesses?
Thanks a lot!
PS. I dont have any strange apps, just the normal (facebook, twitter, whatsapp, Talk...), My display brightness is set to auto.
What really matters is screen on time and you are getting barely 2 hrs and that is indeed awful but in line with all the complaints I've been seeing in the forums.
The update I got was not LPQ but rather LPE (Trinidad & Tobago) which was released the same day as LPQ. I am getting 4.5 hrs screen on time (around 15 hours with my usage habits). This is barely acceptable as I usually got 5 hours 15 min of screen on time with my stock 2.3.4.
Hopefully Samsung will fix this soon, it was supposed to be the other way (battery life improvement).
Soo...
So I guess I'll just have to wait the next rom releases, as it seems that they are improving the rom every new release? Does that make sense? the roms are being released almost one day apart from each other, arent they the same?
In case that for example a new rom comes out tomorrow and the fellows here say that it really improves battery life. What should I do? wipe and install just as this one? or would I be fine without wiping?
Thanks a lot!

Their is no normal battery usage and you have not given battery any time at all to recalibrate .
Just read the battery posts and use Better Battery Stats .
If their is a problem a full wipe is always best .
jje
Ok, so after a couple of days using it.
The battery now lasts almost 9 to 10 hours with normal use. but I deactivated Juice defender.
Now I have disabled all of google location stuff, and some of google services autosync (like google photos and reader). And will turn on juice defender to see how it goes.
Ill update my findings.
Thanks.
Ooh my holy f#, the amount of ics battery threads its too damn high

What effect do you think firmware has on battery life?

Lately my battery usage in battery monitor widget has been going over 1000ma multiple times a day. In fact this has been the case both at the beginning of my Rezound's life on the first firmware, and again now.
At one time in between I used to never see it go over at most 700ma, and experienced reasonable battery life too. Usually I saw about 70ma to 300ma usage. This was with several different roms on the same firmware. I think it was the first or second ICS firmware but I don't remember for sure.
I'm starting to think the firmware a few versions ago was better on battery life. What do you guys think?
I was running GB with the old firmware up until just last week. I was averaging about 20 hours on a full charge with 1-2 hours of screen on time. The rom ran great and the only issue I really had was my 4G would cut out completely whenever I tried to play Youtube videos....
Last week I updated to the latest official ICS global rom with the new radios and firmware, and my battery life has gone in the toilet. I'm averaging about 15 hours on a full charge with the same 1-2 hours of screen on time. My phone gets MUCH hotter when just doing simple things like browsing the web, often getting above 100* F. On GB firmware I was usually in the mid 90's unless I was gaming. This is with the stock kernel. For the past couple days I've been trying FunkyKernel with some under clocking and undervolting which has helped the heat but not so much the battery life.
I'm kinda pissed and strongly considering finally going S-OFF just so I can roll back to the old firmware.
I actually think I had the best battery life on the first ics firmware, but like I said it might have been the second one. I don't remember how many there have been, but I have done all of them.
This latest one just seems to suck down power.
Anybody else have some input?
I just recently updated to the official global firmware and am running Rezone Redux with Funky 3.7. I'm not doing any undervolting and the only change I made to the frequencies was setting the min to 96 and the max to the stock 1512. With my extended battery, I'm averaging around 4.5 hours of screen on time, which is actually about 30 minutes more than I've ever gotten out of this battery. Then again, I keep my data, WiFi, and GPS off at all times unless they're needed, screen brightness at 13%, I'm using an app called Greenify to hibernate certain apps (not freeze, there's a difference), and I'm using the Wheatley governor. I'm very happy with this setup.

So maybe it isn't affecting your as much because you keep your radios turned off. I also use greenify and it has definitely helped.
I might go a day with my mobile data enabled all day and see what happens. I got into the habit it of toggling my data off about a year ago. The only reasons for me to keep it on would be weather updates and Facebook notifications, neither of which is really important enough to me to have them refresh automatically. I don't use push email or anything like that, either. I suppose it would make a difference for someone who needed instant email notifications and such.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I also keep data off most of the time unless the phone is plugged in, but still, battery just hasn't been the same since the latest firmware update...
I want to update you guys on my battery issue I thought was related to the new firmware. Every rom I had used since the newest firmware release was horrible on battery life. Using battery monitor widget to monitor power usage, I was often seeing over 1000ma usage many times per day.
I recently installed neo's infection 2.9.1 which uses a stock kernel based off Flahalf's work. My extreme battery drain is gone! The highest usage I have seen in 2 days is around 500ma, and normally it is 100ma or less! Not only that but this Rom is smokin fast. It feels like a new phone!
And it fixed wireless tethering! I'm so happy and thankful for the awesome work or devs have been doing. Thanks guys!
Unfortunately for peeps like me who enjoy gaming on their phone, the JB roms aren't all that great. Graphics performance is generally poor....
Maybe you should give it another try. I just played some shadow gun and the performance was fine.

I have looked for neo's infection 2.9.1 and find it nowhere. Its getting late so maybe im just tired. But i need a fix for battery also.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Then you must not have looked very hard, it is here on XDA in the Rezound Original Development forum, along with other amazing ROMs like Tron, Beanstock, Liquid Smooth, PAC-Man, etc.
[ROM][GPL][CDMA/GSM][Jb-4.2.2]☣INFECTION-2.9.1☣[07/20/13][CM-10.1.2][LINARO-4.8] will take you right to the Infection thread!
Well I thank you for the post and help I keep forgetting there are two separate forms for DEV now which i really never understood why they made two.
Thanks
