Im using Thjap kernel right now, V3.8 TEAM rom. Before that im using woflbreak V5 with thjap and doomlord kernel too.
Both rom i encounter some self-reboot, especially when i execute high power or performance hungry Apps such as like video recording and playing some games, even my freq was not above 994mhz.
So im come out with a theory that may be my battery and my motherboard do not support low voltage freq, so i wondering any pro can give me some advice?
If it is cause by low voltage problem, i would like to change it back to normal voltage, can anyone give me a <<dummy>> tutorial to change it? I would like to go for thjap or doomlord than Zkernel since thjap and doomlord kernel are more mature than Zmod.
Many thanks for the one who answer my question.

Hi.
Some people in ThJap's thread had the same problem too.
To try and fix the reboots go to
System/etc/init.d folder and delete 13vdd_levels file

God bless you for the solution, many thanks for your reply, hope the trick will work.
seem like even worst, guns n glory II won't last long , seems like delete that file are not helping, but still thanks for your solution.
Swap to the Zkernel, seems like voltage were not the problem at all, even Zkernel keep reboot itself when i play games or doing some heavy loaded apps............
well, i encounter this in WolfV5 and team V3.8, are my battery got problem or what?

Hi, you can contact ROM developers for support, if it's still not working, flash from stock ROM again. Good luck!

Just contact with My_Immortal yesterday, we share many thoughts about the issue.
My latest discovery that it might not necessarily motherboard defect suggest by her theory.
yesterday i flashing the brand new TFT official stock rom with stock kernel, it still happend the reboot of dead. I'm shock that time, and thinking may be Immortal are right.
However i recall some memory that whe i connect to the AC dock, performance and stability were quite good, no reboot issue happend.
This morning i was able to test with custom rom with V3.8 by TEAM, running a heavy game (Guns and glory) test with AC power connected, it seems like the reboot of dead vanish, plus when i heavy use my phone the battery drop with very unhealthy rate, 5-10 minute of game play already consume more than 15 % -20% battery life.
Therefore i conclude it is the power supply problem, and it should be my battery getting old for torture.

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.

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.

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)

My first time posting here, so please be gentle.
I've had my SGS2 for around 6 months now, its an unlocked ASIA (as I live in BKK). I noticed on the original stock firmware that the phone was running hot, as in the back panel around the camera would heat up to the point I could feel it in my pocket. This would normally happen if I was using a game like angry birds, or a psx emulator. But sometimes it would happen in the browser under normal conditions. I just thought this may be a issue with dual core phones, so I took this as a 'feature' and accepted it.
But now lots of people I work with have this phone, and it came up in conversation about heat. Everyone stated they do not have this issue, that the phone remains cool all the time.
I have moved between many different ROMs, and have finally stuck with Westcrips ICS ROM. Then a strange thing happened, the heat issue goes away with version 8.4. Phone is cool all the time, even playing my PSX emulator in software mode. Battery also increased from 12 hours to 16-18 hours.
But now I just moved up to 9.3, and its back again, the front screen is very hot to touch when using things like the MX video player, or surfin the web. And if I launch a game ... well, forget about it. The battery drain is immense to, be lucky if I pull an hour of use like that.
Anyone else suffer from this? Hardware fault? I can't take it back because my flash counter is probably in the 20's now, and I can't find a reset JIG in Bangkok.
Cheers.
FYI, I always do a clean wipe, dalvik / cache / permissions.
same issued here, phone bought from Thailand also. Phone getting hot when browser,downloading and playing some games( not all). And its really hot
Changing Rom and kernel sometimes solved it for awhile but eventually will come back.
Looking for solution also
Thanks
P/s: right now im using LA4 stock Rom and CF root LA4 kernel and still get hot

Thanks for getting back to me.
The one I know that fixes it is Resurrection 8.4. Its a dam good rom, and given me the best battery life (once I got 20 hours with normal use). But there is an issue with touch screen sensitivity that makes it annoying.
Maybe its something to do with the Kernel on the Asian models?
If I find a fix I'll pm you.
Hmmm mine only gets uncomfortably hot when playing some 3d games. Didn't experience the same level of heat when just browsing though... It just gets a little warm but far from gaming temps.
What i did was undervolt and underclock when playing. It did reduce the heat and extend the battery though i admit it's not the best solution / workaround.

Well it looks like the ICS kernel is not supported right now under Tegrak. It is bleeding edge.
I tried setCPU to under clock but ended up with a lot of slow down and some full system freezes.
Guess its back to 8.4 until I find a more definitive answer.

Since you're using Westcrip's Resurrection Remix, you can get rid of the triangle by using Chainfire's TriangleAway app - I'm using Resurrection too and it got rid of the flash counter and the triangle.
TriangleAway should work on all ICS roms though.
Strange, installed triangle away yesterday evening. Work like a charm, so I guess if I need to return I can now.

I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?
Just try clearing app data rebooting and reinstalling the app. That problem has happened to me every once in a blue moon and that fixed it for me.

Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the kernel.
Which app are you referring to? because I had this problem no matter which app I used to change the governor (Extweaks, voltage control, setcpu).

Hi Guys,
My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.
My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.
I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.
I got little afraid of the quadrant testing ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.
Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it.
So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.
I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.
Thank you advance for helping me out.

Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?
To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.
Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.
Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.
My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
I may be wrong but I think that using the kernel cleaning script actually solved most of the lockups. Perhaps I misunderstood the threads.

Ok, i´ll give it a try!
Thanks!
I/O Scheduler has no effect on battery life.
The problem - ICS. In the ROM, there is a bug, after charging via AC(wall charger), phone's Android System uses a lot of battery. Why? It's a bug in the ROM, that we haven't found.
How to fix it? Restart after charging.
And there is already a topic about it. Use Search next time before making new topic.

Hello Guys
My Mini Pro(sk17) is rooted and i´m using MESA Kernel(Smartass V2), i´m on stock I.C.S
I noticed that Android System is about 40, 45% on battery drain.
I´ve read a lot of things, added some lines at build.prop, but no sucess... its still about 40. 45% of my battery drain.
I´m already using 2g, screen bright very low.
I remember i checked that before flashing MESA that the android system did not drained battery like this....
Is this normal? Is there anything i can do?
I dont use any task killer, my CPU is set to 134mhz to 896MHZ( so is underclocked!).
Any help?
Thank you

Try setting your minimum CPU freq to 250MHz. It actually uses way less juice then 134MHz!
EDiT: regarding what someguyfromhell said.....
I've never experienced bigger batt drain when charged AC as opposed via USB?
I'll try to reproduce that effect though...
Hi again,
i tried that Someguyfromhell said and the same thing keeps going.... 45% of android system!!!!!!
any other advice?

Have you tried setting minimum freq to 250mhz, and changing CPU governor?
That should do it.
If not, try another kernel.

Dude,
Good sir, i kindly reccomend you should change from Man Eating Seals Of Antiquity (M.E.S.A.) and switch roms, experiment, play around, you will never get good results just by asking around, you need to figure out your own way of making battery last longer.
I miself am now trying out CM10 alpha for my Sk17i
Good luck

i agree with u my frnd...trying different kernals and roms you can come to which rom and kernal is stable according to you and which has the less battery drain..i suggest u experiment these things.. instead of asking others..
iam also tring Cm10 alpha now for my xmp sk17i.

OK I'm using my phone for 3 days without any charging. Maybe it's just because I don't turn on wifi/3g (I'm browsing only on my tablet).

Hi again.
I´ve changed the Kernel from mesa to another one i dont remember now, and now the batttery is working like a charm.
Changed the kernel and frequencies as iONEx said too.
Thank you very much!!!
Sergio.

Changing kernel, governor and frequencies, now my battery last charge was on sunday night, and still got plenty battery for today.
I use kamarush v2 kernel, and it is the best kernel for me.
I used v3, but it is not as good like v2.
Hope, the kernel will goes to higher level, like in X10mp
I'm having a strange problem with my Xperia Arc (4.0.4) that is proving very difficult to track down. When playing music or videos, after a random amount of time (maybe 20 or 30 seconds) the phone will crash and restart. This happens regardless of the app I use - Play Music, Poweramp, MX Player and YouTube. I have restored my phone using CWM to a much earlier backup, but eventually (within a few hours) the problem returns.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Unless anyone has any ideas, my only other recourse would seem to be a full wipe and return to stock firmware, which would be a major PITA and obviously wouldn't help if this is a hardware issue or some conflict with an update :crying:
Are you using a Custom Kernel ? Are you Undervolted ?

prboy is correct. Does your phone get enough power? Is your battery broken? Try flashing a stock firmware again. It may solve the problem.

I'm using a custom rom but not undervolted (stock kernel as locked bootloader).
Interesting about the battery, do you think it's worth buying another battery to see if that's the problem?

Before buying another battery, I would flash a different Rom. See if that corrects the issue. If that doesn't work, I would then go back to Factory stock. Just to narrow things down.
