hallo,
i installed different kinds of android (SD version) on my HTC HD2, lastly i decided to use the MccM HD V6 SD SENSE FROYO and im very happy with that.
but ive got a problem: when im using flight mode while sleeping (usually 6-8hours), the battery loses 40-45% charge.
here is the situation:
- when im turning the device off and on again before using flight mode (means boot to wm6.5 artemis and then launching android, activating sim card and then setting device to flight mode) it tages 3-5% of charge during the night.
- when i do NOT reset the device, just enter flight mode after using the phone the whole day (facebook, google maps, ...) then the battery loses 40-45% charge as said before.
so the problem might be an application, which - once it is startet - always tries to connect when im flight mode. i startet using zdbox with autokill on lock, later also autokill system programs - no sucess.
lately i tried batteriefu, but this only stopped my data traffic/connection right now.
i have no idea, what to do against that. a friend told me, its not necessary to use taskkillers at all in android - whats your opinion?
maybe the SD android is a problem? (when programs use the SD card during night, it drains the battery?)
thnx in advance
markus
ps: sorry newbie, first thread in this board - when im doing wrong, just tell me - it was not on purpose.
Battery drain
wHY NOT JUST SWITCH THE PHONE OFF AT NIGHT????. Am I missing something??
Good luck
- galarm? (alarm use)
- and it takes time to go to wm6.5 and then launch android?
John, your shift key is stuck..
I can't help you directly, but SpareParts has a log feature that will tell you which applications cause the device to not enter sleep mode correctly (wake-lock), using that you should be able to locate the program causing the issue.
ok, spareparts was one of the things i uninstalled
spareparts or spareparts+?
thnx!
Normal spareparts should be able to do it (at least the one that came with my CM7 does)
ok, installed it, checkt the logs, loading battery and testing this night
interesting, last 2 nights there was a batteryloss of only 3-4%.
no idea why...
I've heard of roms / kernels taking a couple days to settle before some of the kinks go away, so it might be something of that sort. Otherwise I would assume your phone should be saving power if it's not connecting to networks as frequently

Y'know, I thought it was just me thinking this but I have noticed better performance once RevolutionROM has been in for 2 days or so.
I know there is politics for posting on a old thread but I saw this thread on Google while trying to see if this happened to anyone else.
I would like to report that right before bed I had 22%. My Samsung Skyrocket will eat right through 22% overnight if the cell radio is on. So without rebooting I turned on airplane mode (so I would have an alarm in the morning.) I woke up and my battery was at 28% I couldn't believe it. I will try to re-create this again. This was from 2am to 7am. In my battery details graph it even shows a little "hill" noting the increase.
I did hit the Task Killer button from my ES Task Manager widget right before airplane mode to make sure Facebook and Email were closed.
Any Input?
Have you tried betterbatterystats? I had high drain with new rom and seems to have been Audiout_2 which was started by the keyboard click. It was on by default in the ROM. Its off now and all is OK. Seems once it starts it must be continuously polling.

thx everyone!
What SD card you using ? ..
With my 8gb class 6 card, the Current Widget shows 3mA (stand by)
same build other card (2gb class 4) Current Widget shows 69mA (stand by)
How often do you use your phone? Sometime, w e forget that the battery drains fast because we're constantly on wifi or 3g and playing games.
turn off gps, wifi, 3g if not needed. boot android when keylights are on.
i can use android up to 20 hours with normal use (some phonecalls, internet, searching marketplace, checking twitter, weather, mails and so on every hour...)
maybe try another radio, another wm-rom, android build... 'search' is your friend there are so many threads/posts about battery...
hmm today the battery was emtpy after 5 hours... having 3 calls ( 3-6 minutes) and beeing most of the time in stand by modus...
@ bytefax: i have a scandisc 2GB... i dont know wich level... -> does that mean -> the bigger the sd card, the less gets the battery use?!?!
@azzzz: at the moment i try to use it only if its really necessary... just to check out how long my battery lives...
@tranquillo: i´ve already checked several posts, but what i´m looking for now, is someone, who got the same phone as I do and let me try his SetCpu settings...
übrigens... ich tu mir auf deutsch etwas leichter... danke schonmal für die hilfe... wär super wenn ich mein htc länger als 5 stunden benutzen könnt.

Try to run CLRCAD and HARET whit the keypad lights on.
I had mattc 1.5b installed, in standby mode I was getting 5-9 mA drain (current widget numbers). I upgraded to mattc 1.7 it jumped to 20 mA drain in standby. did a clean install of 1.7, still 20+ mA drain. went back to mattc 1.5b and drain was 20+ mA in standby. switched to mdeejay sense build 20mA drain in standby, formatted card several times no change. turns out that android was only charging battery to 96%. once I charged the phone in windows mobile to 100% both mattc anb mdeejay roms get 7 mA drain in standby. each time I notice an increase in battery drain (standby) android does not charge battery completely (when android charges to 96% I get 20+ mA drain in standby, when android charges to 94% I get 70+ mA drain); I simply charge battery in windows and battery drain goes back to normal. 20+ hours with moderate usage, 40+ hours light usage.

Fully Charge while Device is Off before first boot, then upon first boot go to terminal and enter these (without the quotes) and press enter after every line.
"su"
"rm /data/system/batterystats.bin"
Ensure that Keypad Lights are on when Haret is launched and you will be healed.
@ amcjungle -> terminal?!?!
Terminal emulator is an app. You can download it from the Market. A terminal is a way to gain access to a system.
@amcjungle: ok... thx for that info. Terminal is probably an app for windows mobile?
the last thing i dont really get to 100% is, what you want me to do with the Keypad Lights... they should be on ?!?
If you could make a screenshot or explain it, this would be christmas like!!
best wishes and thx for the help!!

Terminal is an app for android. What you would want to do is charge your phone completely while off or in windows mobile. Probably better while turned off, although that part I cannot confirm. So with your battery charged to 100% just press the call button or something to activate the keylights. so that call, windows, back, and all other buttons are lit. While they are lit up start android. They will turn off, but we want them on when haret loads. Once into android open terminal emulator or download it from the market. Then type in su to gain super user access and then the other command to clear the battery charge memory.
At times my standby voltage will go to 120ma and up. When it happens I open the process button on the Weather and News widget and I close every process that is running. After that I hold down the power button until the option to Power Off shows up on the screen. Once I power off the phone I just restart Winmo and Android normally and my standby voltage goes back to 6ma.
If I let it run at >120ma standby voltage the battery will be drained within 5-6 hours every time.

Dont use task killers unless you know what you are doing. They are mainly for apps that wont close (freeze) or apps that you yourself have opened. If you close system prosseses like weather, news, messaging, and so on you are only making things worse.
That's why you need to shutdown and restart phone after you close them. When you restart the phone the needed processes will be started too.
I've tried this with task killer and it does nothing, the only luck I've had has been with the process toggle on the Weather and News widget.
thx for giving me this detailed explanation!! i´ll try this and let you know how things are doing!!
Hi, I've tried exactly the method you said but when I type in the last line (ending batterystats.bin) it says its not found.
Have I done something wrong?

are you putting in a space after rm?

if you did then you do not have this file
when exactly are the keypad lights supposed to turn off? Mine seem to stay on indefinitely.
Still having Probs
Hey there. I,m having some issues with my battery too.
My Build belongs to Bangster (v 1.5) (great work) on ChuckyDroidROM Lite with Radio 2.15.50.14 running on Scandisk 8 gb class 2. Michi R11 AXI kernel.
I do not have several Sd cards to test consuption.
I read the Thereads about heavy battery drain for the last 4 days.
I tryed differend Radio Roms, i tryed different WM Roms (Flashing VBNROM AGAIN at the moment)
I tryed to fix the Keypad Lib, loaded my battery in win/off to 100 %, switched off all background services except 3g, do NOT have any taskillers or something (Android isnt meant to let tasks get killed by user i think)
I tryed to boot with Keypad lights on and use Set CPU as recommended with no overclocking.
i Use brightness lvl 25 %
BUT my battery drains at last with 60 ma (current widget) within 5-6 hours nearly to empty.
I dont know any further.
I rellay need my Phone with Sync to Google for more than that. Can't load my phone on German Autobahn (i'm slightly often there)
BUT i had a very good Battery life with mccmjohn's 2.5/VBN/2.14/Michi R11 in the end it was not stabel for me.
I dont have the time to try all the Builds with different Kernels in combination with all the WMRoms.
Can Pls someone help me????
PS: I dont want to annoy any of the devs, awesome work they did
i'm LeoDroid user since first Darksone build
Something strange happened to my phone. One night I installed an app that can turn the phone into sleep mode instead of pressing the button at the uppermost right of it. I still have around 70+% battery by that time. The next morning, I was surprised that my battery is already out. I charge it but was stuck at the cyanogen logo. I removed the battery and tried to open it, this time the animation boot happened twice before finishing. I removed the app but noticed that my battery begun draining much faster than before. Just letting it on idle state will reduce it to 40% in 9 hours. The bootup problem is also present every time I boot the phone - it will get stuck at first at the logo,remove the battery, turn it on again where the animation will happen twice before the phone become usable.
Checking the phone usage, mobile standby and phone idle have the largest usage. I read some threads mentioning something about wakelock or something that prevent the phone from going to sleep. Checking the Spare parts battery history, only two things are present - Running (100%) and Screeon on (5.1%).
Any help or tips to know the real problem? Thanks

this will happen when install every crappy tweak **** - i'm not understand why users have to install extra apps for buttons
to help you something:
wipe your system, not the data - only if it doesnt work after wiping the caches.
than try to boot ... if its doesnt nrmal booting, reinstall the rom and do a full wipe. sometimes apps installing libraries in system.
^
I was thinking of reducing the usage of the hard button so I used it. Will resintallation of the ROM afefct my partition? I have a nandbackup before this problem happened, but I still do not have the partition by that time.
And how do you do it by the way? Just flash again the ROM? Thanks
Edit: Wiping the cache seemed to help. It doesn't stuck at the logo, but the animation still happens twice instead of once. Gonna observe the battery usage. Thanks.
100% running, that means your phone is not in sleep, but only with LCD off. Grab betterbatterystats([email protected]) and check your wakelocks.

Based on the betterbatterystats, the gpslocationprovider is the culprit. But my gps apps are off and are not running any services. Any idea how can I stop it?

I copid a gpa.conf somehere in this forum. I replaced it with the originial and I'm currently observing whether it will return to normal. My gps apps are off, and both wireless and gps sattelites are disabled on my location & security tabs.
I'm planning on doing a restore to at least remove the boot up problem. But my last nandbackup was still before I partitioned my sd card and flashed dark tremor, and configre a2sdgui. If I do the nandrestore, do I have to disable or remove dark tremor and a2sdgui, or remove the partition of my card? Thanks

I has the same gps wakelock even disabling GPS- reboot and the thing is gone
I changed it, but my phone still doesn't sleep. Although this time, the gpslocationprovider is no longer shown with the betterbatterystats. It just states that my phone is awake for around 47 minutes but my screen is just on for around 4 minutes. I've already rebooted several times and wipe the cache but its still like this. Still trying to find other ways.
Hi, just updated to 2.3.3 stock rom, no flash, using the standard LG upgrade software, from v10q (I believe) to v20g.
I installed no new apps, didn't change a thing on my phone, but now my battery drains in 12h of no use, screen off.
Battery information says the phone never goes to sleep anymore, the blue bar is continuous.
I've tried shutting down running apps using both the phone's built in app manager and Advanced Task Killer, doesn't change a thing.
Searching the forums, I've found people with battery drain, but never the same issue or solution so I'm hoping someone might know something more on my specific situation.
Here's how I use my phone and what apps I generally have running:
Audio Manager Console and Advanced Task Killer are always running, I keep data off most of the time, and turn it on when I use it occasionally (usually no more than a few minutes at a time), no wi-fi, most of the phone usage comes from Think Free Office (at least since I upgraded 2 days ago) and a few minutes of calls. Brightness is always on min.
This is mostly how I generally use my phone all the time (throw in a couple of hours a day of Bluetooth music using the default music player, but this hasn't been the case since the update) and I used to recharge every 2-3 days. Now it's 2 times a day.
Before the upgrade my phone would barely burn any battery in idle (maybe 1-2% during the 12 hours, as opposed to 94% as it currently does)
Battery health seems fine, temperature is around 20-25C
What can I do?

Thanks, will try, update results
I was pissed off as my phone lost all the juice over the night and didnt have time for filling it in the morning as i have to go to my job. Also i am a privacy freak and from obvious reasons i dont like google apps, same goes for gmail (as i am using exchange server i dont need all the sync stuff there) which was my initial reason for preventing the application to start - i dont use ANYTHING releated to google/market and i dont have any account there, i never used it.
On rooted phone I started to prevent starting everything related to google and DRM, market etc. (autostarts https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts):
- DRM*
- Factory Test*
- com.google.*
(i think this was all, i'll recheck if there was something else)
And guess what. The battery drain over the night is now around 2% and the phone is quite able to survive 2 days (not completely accurate as i had it connected to computer for 10 minutes in between to pump some files from it), after the second night i still had 12% of battery left.
If someone else is able to repeat that, please report the results and if someone is able to figure out which app exactly is draining the battery even batter.
One thing i dont really understand is what are those apps doing during the night, there is no reason to contact any of google services as i dont have any account entered, so wtf are they doing?!
To ROM cookers, please stop adding google apps by default, make them as package to be installed later if you wish.
I do not have any communication or at least there should be none over 3g (droidwall) and i dont want to kill aplications just to have peacefull sleep. I was searching for final solution and i have found it.
One solution is to switch off wifi and data connection in night and sure you will have better battery drainage.
Not entirely related but just a heads up for people, last night i downloaded that Getjar app and it decimated my battery overnight so i uninstalled it this morning.
I assume most on here know about https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en this is the best app you can get when it comes to preventing battery drain (tells you exactly what is draining your battery)
seems getjar is eating away at the battery, dont understand why it needs to do that !
Go to the task manager and kill all running tasks, then clear ur RAM before going to sleep @ night.
I loose like 1-2%

If it is a night issue, try turning the display ON before unplugging the charging cord. I have used this method and the battery stays at 100% all night long.
Hello forum,
background info:
I have a rare Pansonic Android 5.0.2 phone (DMC-CM1) with an excellent camera, what is the reason why I want to keep this device.
There are NO custom roms available and no info about key combinations on how to get into stock recovery mode. I can go there with adb of course.
I found a key combination to get into fastboot, but Wiping cache/data to reset the device apparently did nothing, even if wating for hours. It seems as well as if Panasonic tampered with the stock bootloader :/ This is why I had to send it to service (adb was not enabled before).
They reflashed the device with 4.4.4 and I installed the updates to 5.0.2 OTA. Everything seemed fine until...
present problem:
...now I have a strange battery drain. Bevor I sent it it, I had about 2-3 days usage time with average usage, a little messageing, a few fotos. I do not use the phone much.
Now I get a maximum of around 16-20 hours out of it while it is just resting on the table. It also gets warm.
what have I done so far:
- I rooted the device and installed better battery stats from the forum here. It shows around 8-10% usage per hour. Before the problem showed, I had 1-2% usage.
- I uninstalled EVERY own installed app and even booted into safe mode -> same problem
- I disabled all google app packages -> same problem, but improved it a little
When I check the battery via android settings, it is telling me that "android-system" is using >20% of the battery. In active apps I can see this app is running the fast dormancy service. When I kill this service and force the complete app to stop, it gets _a little_ better, around 5-6% usage.
I recently killed forced stop on all services that where not qualcom or seemed essential to me and disables wifi and bluetooth and over night usage dropped to <1%/h, which seemed the problem could lie somewhere with services.
However using adb shell and pulling "top" info, I dont see a process using much CPU.
What else have I noticed, which might be unrelated:
-After charging I see a 100% wakelock from qpnp-charger, that disappears only after rebooting. Might indicate that something with qualcom is "wrong".
-I set wifi to be _never_ be running in sleep mode. Better battery stats is telling me, that wifi is 100% of the time running, even if I can see the symbol for wifi is not showing and comes up a few seconds after I wake the phone
You can see, I might need help on how to identify the problem here.
Any hints, tips, advice?
Please excuse my "messy" english, it is not my native language.
regards
Stefan
