Well, first thing first. Let us know what ROM, kernel, and radio you are using. Those things are the major factors that effect your battery life.
Also, what is your current setcpu settings?
1025MHz max/245MHz min are the stock frequencies. Setting the CPU above that will have an impact on your battery life. I really don't find a reason to overclock this phone.
If your using SetCPU, setting up a "Screen Off" profile is a must. Set it to 245min/max, so that when the screen is off, the CPU runs at a very minimal speed, saving you a lot of battery life.
I also recommend using Green Power. It is a free app in the market. It is a lot like Juice Defender, only I think it's simpler to use.
You can set the app to turn off data when your screen is off, and turn back on when you turn the screen on. Also, you can set it to turn data on (for example) every hour, for 1 minute to sync your data, then turn back off, this way you will still get your notifications.
I find it helps my battery a lot.
Thanks I will try that. I was using Ginger3dth3ory radio mr2 i think and i dont remember the kernel. I just flashed another ROM and its synergy_rls1-mecha kernel is [email protected] #1 and i assume the radio is the same since i dint get a new one. setcpu is set at 1024/245.

So on my non-daily driver Fascinate I'm running MIUIWiz. I get terrible battery life and compared to my CommRom running daily phone, the main difference is that in Spare Parts the Dialer is the main running process by far. CPU Spy shows 1000mhz as the most used state also. I assume this is related, as Airplane Mode solves both of those problems, but creates another one... how do I use it as a phone?
I've tried uninstalling GoContacts for the stock phone apk and both of those items remain the same. Reflash didn't change anything either. Maybe I'll redownload the ROM.
Any other suggestions on how to try solving this?
I'm just bumping this up in the hopes that someone knows(and will let me know) how to get the dialer to go into deep sleep.

This wifi driver kernel module "disables" the wifi maximum power management during screen off. The level 2 driver adds it further, changing power saving to off, while on battery power. Hopefully it could increase the wireless strength -- I am testing it.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage caused by the updated kernel module, neither its compatibility. I don't think it would work for any other ROM other than stock 360. Also, make sure you had the bcm4325 wifi instead of bcm4329.
Use at your own risk, always do nandroid backups
To update, either use ClockworkMod or StreakMod recovery, and use any of the attached zip file as update.zip.
Alternatively, you can just replace the /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko and reboot the system.
PS: Thanks to Myshkinbob's hint on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752856
WOW , while i was playing with the cifs another wonder came, i do confirm the cifs module works perfect [on 360], am on the process of testing these modules too, streak-custom-ROM-cooks i appeal you to include these modules in your 2.2 based ROMs.
Thank you again !!!

Wifi streaming is now working flawlessly with screen turned off. The no power saving configuration on battery doesn't seems to improve the signal much. But it doesn't seems to have any significant increase on battery usage, so I suggest to just go for the level 2 version.
Gonna ask the obvious before someone else does
setting wifi sleep to 'never' doesnt accomplish what you want? What happens exactly if you set it to 'never' without loading your module? Is it as described in your link where it goes down to ~100kb/s link speed?
Wonder if porting to another kernel is as simple as using it's matching config.gz like with tun.ko or cifs.ko(?)

No it doesn't -- it is unrelated, actually. The bandwidh limit imposed by maximum power saving is much less than the required bandwidh for streaming FLAC audio. The result is intermittent audio playback with repeating 2-5 seconds silence and audio pattern.
Not to mention that I occasionally experiences IM+ Google Talk, YM, and Jabber session disconnects due to the same problem

I haven't personally tried Gingerbread on my Streak. Probably will never do so due to reasons I won't post here.
But I could probably try building them, although I'll need your help on a couple of info needed.

I believe an app could also prevent wifi to enter max power saving mode on screen off. But to make sure it does, then you have to try streaming some lossless audio with it
I'd be willing to help, but have decided to forego gingerbread for now. One too many random reboots. However I'll help you out as much as I can for the good of the masses.

As you're not currently running 2.3 then I assume you're not in hurry for this. We can schedule it later then
Anyway I don't think many people needs this tweak, so let's just take it easy. Just post back when you're ready with a Streak running 2.3.
Sorry but I should've been able to do this by myself if I had 2.3 installed on my phone. But as stated, I don't have any plan for that

I'm back on the gingerbread bandwagon, however I am having wifi issues and I wonder if your fix can help. Randomly, but quite regularly, the wifi still shows as connected, however there is no data throughput. I'm wondering if it possible that the wifi "power down" is going to low and then not powering back up when the screen comes back on. Would your fix help with that at all? If so, I'm ready to help with it for gingerbread.
can u make one for 354? thanks

wifi drivers
can anyone provide me with wifi drivers for 2.3? i have had no wifi for around 6 months and cant bear it no more!
i get a wifi drivers not loaded on the logcat, have tried everything i can manage in my limited adb capabilities, dont think its a hardware issue but want to try something/anything before selling my streak! changing roms, wiping and factory resets have not worked.
anyone??!!

Just flash the 360 ones on 354. It worked fine on mine

i tried.but it disabled my wifi
Raz-or,have you tried putting the 360 update.pkg on your root sd card,then run your phone through the qdl tool......after that....start your phone up in stock recovery,and it will install the 360 you put on sd,then upon reboot go back into stock recovery and do a factory reset......after your up and running,wifi should be working now.after doing this....you could put streakmod recovery on....so you can go back in and do a nandroid backup,and be able to do other things it can do

Hi I got this phone couple of days back. It came flashed with latest Android 4.0.3 (20120608-154131)
I have rooted it using zopoROOTby_Jaynes_android4.0.
It's working fine, but seems the battery life is ridiculous and the battery information is also not reliable, especially after restarting the device
(Sometimes it suddenly decreses a lot and vice-versa).
Also GPS, I tried it out in the open for like 15-20 mins it finds 4-6 sats but DOESN'T lock on.!
And then the market had some incompatible apps, I did the XML trick, didn't work...removed the 5 files again and then gave up, all of a sudden after a restart, market is fully accessible!! (Weird!)
I have backed-up my apps using Titanium free but I want to install CWM recovery. I do not know the exact procedure to follow for the same.
I just want to have the CWM recovery and not want to flash whole ROM again...How to do it???
Also please give me any important suggestions, tips if you have regarding this phone.
Thank you!
Anyone have anything to say?

Is the phone going in deep sleep? (install cpu spy to check). This could be your battery problem. WiFi/3G/Bluetooth and some apps can keep the phone from going into deep sleep. You can try to edit build.prop to help it go into deep sleep.
The gps - theres some things you can edit in gps.conf and secgps.conf to get a faster fix (like changing time servers and how a-gps works).

Thanks for your helpful reply! I installed CPU Spy and here's what I found!
Seems, it's keeping at 1001 Mhz all the time!! Am I right??
Are there any other ways around it than editing system files??

Yep, looks like it is staying at 1ghz, you can install an app like setcpu to manage the cpu frequency. You will probably be limited by the kernel when it comes to governors (no undervolting either).
If you are not comfortable editing the gps.conf/secgps.conf there are apps for that I think. But it is quite easy with a file manager (root browser for example), the gps.conf tweak is to change the " NTP_SERVER= " to the closest server to where you reside from this site :
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
For example if it says NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org , (edit: noticed you live in India, so you would do it like this):
NTP_SERVER=1.in.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
If you want to see more on these gps tweaks(I would just do the time server tweak since it works on all phones, I'm not sure if the secgps.conf tweak works with your phone), check out this thread (it's been updated at the bottom of the first post) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626
I'm not sure about CWM, I think it has to be tailored to the phone itself because of the location of the recovery partition.
Edit2: I noticed in the picture that your phone has 1ghz , 500 mhz 250mhz and 166mhz. You can add a profile to setcpu to set the CPU to max 250mhz while the screen is off for example. This wouldn't fix your deep sleep issue, but would save battery. (Deep sleep is some parts of the CPU turned off, while some parts stay on)
Thanks again! I have set it to 250-1001 ondemand and apply on boot now. But 'deep sleep' is still unused as per CPU spy, Any clues as to how can it be enabled?
About GPS, I can do that. Just that I could live without it for now, but thanks for elaborating it! I will do it tomm. Morn, its 2:39 am.

The deep sleep issue is probably related to some apps keeping the phone on (could be kernel problem also, but I'm not an expert on that so can't say). You can check wake-locks with betterbatterystats. Also, rebooting the phone helps(rebooting after charging also helps I noticed).

Thanks for your reply. I think it is more of a Kernel problem only.
ust found out using Batterystats that As soon as I get a message or notification, It triggers LED light and a WAKE LOCK (Called 'Leds Wakelock' ) Which prevents phone from going into deep sleep, and it remains that way hogging battery! Only solution is to REBOOT and hope you don't get any notification!
BEFORE REBOOT
AFTER REBOOT
If your phone has a cyanogenmod rom (I haven't looked into the popularity of it), there is an option to turn off the LED notification in the cyanogenmod settings. Does Zopo release the source code for the kernel / rom?
I read in the other thread about the phone having issues when not in the performance governor, that is a shame, maybe the voltage is adjusted lower at lower frequencies causing the reboots.

I don't know whether it is cyanogenmod (I don't even know what that is..) But my phone doesnt have ANY option regarding that. But
Here's a good thing, since I restarted to take screen shot I've had several notifications LED flashes, and the 'LEDS Wakelock' hasn't reared it's ugly-head!
ALSO I have again set the Governor to 'On demand' and now it seems doing better no Hang up for a good time played AB space. going good!
I think that LEDS Wake lock was root of all troubles. Will have to keep a lookout for it.
Thanks a lot for your guidance!
Have you come up with a solution that can kill that wakelock other than reboot? From my observation that leds wakelock only happen when the battery's going low (<15%) and it won't go away after that.
Dirty solution is to patch framework-res.apk and modify the level of battery low notification.
I am using a newer custom ROM 100500 v2 and no longer have any issues with wake locks!

Hi, today I woke up and noticed that overnight (7 hours) my battery dropped from 99% to 47%. I looked in better battery stats and I noticed that my phone was running at 900CPU all the time. I really have no idea how can that be happening, until today everything was fine and I haven't installed any new app. I am running Omega 29 with Phenomenal normal kernel. Would full wipe and reinstalling ROM help?
Thanks

Check your battery stats and see what it was doing, could be anything from Apps running in background (Sync, GPS...)
If there is an app there that drained it, you don't need to get rid of it, put your phone into Power Saving or download a 3rd Party app called Juice Defender. That will stop it. Also if you don't want to do that, you can just Force Close the App that used your battery at night and leave it at that.
Oddly tested mine overnight wifi and gps off 150 apps .
12 hours 2 % drain and that's the usual .

Since it's Omega go into S Tweaks Scroll down the bottom to CPU Scaling and select one of the others on the Drop Down Menu, (pegasusq) try the others. Hopefully that will do the trick. Do not underclock the device under 800 as it will c*ck up the phone.

I'm having similar issues of battery drain on Omega V29 and Siyah Kernel but its mainly when the screen is on, my current cpu scaling profile is set to 'lulzactive'. Could this be the cause of my drain?

Hi guys,
So I've been struggling to get decent standby battery life on this phone. I've seen the best results with the stock GB/ICS with nothing else installed when the phone would last for 3+ days. Any other setup drains 2-3% every hour, even with sync/GPS/BT/WiFi/overclock off (only mobile data on). Tried multiple ROMs and kernels. Any idea if I can do better?
turn off mobile data!
hi! You should turn off mobile data, and say result OK?
I'll test tonight. Right now I'm using the LegacyXperia 4.4 ROM.

hey what's the result....
if you still not satisfied with your battery backup then try the following:
1) change the no. of background processes to 2 in developers settings.
2) change the cpu governor to conservative.
3) change io scheduler to RAW.
4) change your network type to 2g.
4) in performance settings change power profile to power saving.
that's what I do get a decent battery life. Hope it helps you to.
If I helped you then hit thanks button.. :good:
So yeah that did the trick! With mobile data off it is down to <1%/hour.
Is there a chance I can keep mobile data on and get good battery life? I have a very minimalist setup which does not use data in the background and sync is off. Apps only respond to push notifications. Not sure why having data on takes a toll on battery life.
just turn on it when you need that!
