Hi,
I have a problem with my Neo, since two or three days it doesn't charge the battery properly. The charger is plugged in, theres the battery animation in the Statusbar and the LED is on, but it only charges the phone like 20%. The battery percentage even went back down after awhile, though still plugged in! I started 2 days ago, charging it from 8%, after one night of charging, it was around 30%, then after a couple of hours it lowered to 26%, then raised tonight to 80% and now its back at around 71%
My NEO is rooted (stock rom) since 2 weeks, and the charging worked fine untill now.
Anybody got an idea? I'm thankful for any advice
Oh i almost forgot, and the same day this issue started, my WiFi started working strange, its like there for 5 minutes, then even if it shows the symbol properly, i have no connection because i dont receive whatsapp messages, and if i open whatsapp and try to write something it takes like 5 minutes till my connection is back, and it is sent.
On the other hand, the WiFi is working for my laptop without any problems.
Have you tried to do a clean flash with falshtool? Just to rule out software problems.
nope, simply because i dont know what that is
furthermore, my airplanemode doesnt work. After clicking on it, the icon is on, but there isn't a change in my connections at all, and the airplane symbol in the statusbar doesn't appear as well

download .42 firmware, download flahtool, and flash it. After selecting fw, tick wipe cache and user data.
Of course this will wipe your phone so make a backup of stuff from your phone.

I noticed that from last night the 2 arrows over H icon in Bionix V is always lit for me. It should be lit only when data transfer is happening, so something is continously sucking data. Battery drains like crazy, phone dead 2 hours after charged!
- I tried rebooting multiple time to see if a stray process is causing this, but no change
- Checked all running services from settings menu and killed them all one by one, but still data always active!
Any help anyone??? I have a phone that dies on 2 hours now

Do you have the super power xda app. If not download it from the market and it will control background data when in sleep mode.

Thanks, I appreciate your reply (my phone died again in 2 hours after my first post). I have tried the super power app before and it is good. It can switch 3G on/off when phone sleeps. But that is not exactly my issue. If the phone is always hooked to 3G network and no actual data transfer happens (3G symbol will be there, but arrows will be greyed out showing no real activity), we know Vibrants give average 20 hours battery life. For me the arrows over 3G are always lit showing constant data transfer on 3G which is killing the battery. I cannot for my life figure out what process is constantly consuming data. Is there a background process monitoring app which will capture processes that are not reported in "Running apps" under settings menu?
I'm not sure what the problem may be, if it looks like everything has been killed. If you are stock, do a factory reset and failing that contact tech support. If you are rooted and ROM'd, ODIN to stock and/or try a new ROM.
And not to beat a dead horse, but that SuperPower app is the shiz. Unless you specifically specify an app to run while the phone is sleeping it will kill ALL processes that are sucking data. If you have not tried SuperPower since this problem has arisen, I recommend trying it.
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.

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?

Off GPS ,on only when needed

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.
First of all, I can't yet post in the development section, so I'll post here.
AOSP ICS by Polish Blood for mt11i is a great release and deserves lots of support
Now for the issues:
Extremely high battery drain: 65% in 9 hours (overnight, no usage, phone locked)! Battery details (if I read them correctly) say its mobile network signal. But I've disabled 3g and data. It's a clean, just installed kernel+rom on a freshly rooted phone with unlocked bootloader. No apps.
Also, if I disable the google search service to get rid of the search bar on my homescreens, It pops back up after I use the camera (but in a nonworking state).

Discharge battery completely,and then recharge it few times,because the battery needs to accomodate with new os.Do not use live wallpaper,because it drain your battery very quickly.About the search bar issue,i've tried to disable it,and i have no problem,after using camera,it doesn't reappeared.You can also try another kernel (i reccomend xneo aokp version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630532).
thanks, will definitely try that.
Also, I used to have some live wallpapers on on 2.3.4 and it didn't have much impact on the battery life.
As for the google search bar I've just successfully reproduced that two times in a row. Reenabled google search (went to home screen, it worked) then disabled it (went to home screen, it disappeared), then activated the camera (sidepanel button) zommed in a bit, unzoomed. And bam - the search bar is back on the home screen, but in a nonworking state. Did everything again with identical result.
not sure what might have caused it, but the search bar is gone. I wish there was a way to reclaim the space reserved for it...
You can't use it,because that space is reserved only for search bar.This is the way Google made it.
that doesn't stop me from wishing it wasn't so : ] but enough with pointless chit-chat.
Spent half a day trying to get the mms to work. It was configured correctly and the data was on (what a pain, gingerbread was a lot better in that aspect - data off didnt mean disabling mms).
It worked right away when I reflashed the phone without the rootfix. Once I applied that - it kinda works... but not really good. I was unable to properly receive an mms containing a contact, and seemed to randomly fail while sending images through mms. So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, even though one of my test mmses was delivered, the report for it (enabled it in preferences) was "pending".
I'm going to test it further tomorrow.
EDIT: even more problems:
the light sensor doesn't seem to work (no reaction if screen brightness set to auto)
cant test it from the service menu because I cant access the service menu. Once I write in the code *#*#7378423#*#* through phone, the code disappears and nothing seems to happen.
i wonder if this rom includes xloud and Bravia engine, because the developer mentioned them in the #43 reply in the neo V section.

apart from this being offtopic, I don't see a xLoud setting within settings\sound, so it would be a good guess no it doesn't.
as for the BRAVIA - if You have an idea how to check it, I'll look.
Now back to the topic:
list of problems so far:
heavy battery drain - unsolved, tried:
changing baseband (tried 64 and 70),
disabling everything I could,
fully discharging then charging while phone was off,
discharging to exactly 50% then unplugging the batttery for 5 minutes, then charging the switched off phone for at least 5 hrs
issues with mms (random failures to send and failures to receive; erroneus reports (pending while message was delivered); failure to receive contact via mms (notification of a new message, opening messages and... there is an empty message or no message at all))
google search bar randomly reappears in a disabled state (if I tried to get rid of it by disabling google search in settings\apps)
issue with bluetooth (Tested with s8500GT wave @ bada 1.2, worked well before flashing to 4.0.4 by PolishBlood) - phone is not correctly recognized as a phone. I can pair it and a connection is seemingly established, but I cant, for example, send a contact via BT (from s8500 to neoV)
can't access service menu (the code just disappears after entering it via phone, nothing happens)
ambient light sensor does not seem to work (or the A brightness setting doesn't)
issue with messaging: while playing music i've answered a message (phone horizontal) in a conversation. The message i've sent is not displayed once I open the conversation, but it is visible as the last message in the conversations list
if I set the data warning & limit to 0, the Data usage app crashes and will not let me re-enter it (if I try, it just goes back to homescreen)
hope this topic finally gets to be noticed by PolishBlood devs,
generalnie świetna robota i jak najbardziej warta pochwały :]
For the heavy battery drain,try to use XNeo kernel. The ambient light sensor works ok for me,I don't know why you have problems with it.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Neo using XDA
try to use another kernel , not the one provided in the ROM
After several days of usage the battery drain dropped (i'll keep using it to determine whether its an acceptable level).
sometimes the phone will do 14 hours eating only 30 hours of battery and sometimes, for no apparent reason and absolutely no change in usage, it will drain half of it in 6 hrs. So "unstable" would be the best word to describe the battery drain.
Still can't access service menu, still have problems with mms.
i love this room.
my problem is: i cant take photos in 8mpx!
my wifi doesnt work anymore. my phone conect, salve, disconnect, getting ip, connect, salve, disconnect, getting ip.....

my phone did that too when the wifi signal wasn't too good, but once it got IP it was rock solid. Hm...
As for my case, the brightness sensor apparently works (most of the time and if I dont touch the brightness control key on the power widget - then it just stops). All other issues are still in place. Power consumption often shifts from really low to insanely high for no apparent reason. Battery app shows its network and awake (but the phone is locked most of the time with its screen off)
i never get ip. and when i set ip manally it drops the connection every 30 seconds...
can i change my kernel with AOSP? AOSP only works with AOSP kernel, or not?
i don't want to start a new thread, so I'll ask here:
Does anyone found working Phone.apk with Polish Blood Project other than the original one from the ROM ?
The problems started today.
-When I push the power button sometimes the screen will not turn on. When I hold the power button I can hear the sound of the power menu pop up so I know the device is receiving the signal from the power button.
-I am receiving texts very late or not at all. I just got a message my friend sent like 8 hours ago.
-The device is also a little laggy sometimes, and certain things, like the play store will not load.
-I can't turn on airplane mode
I re-flashed it with the original firmware (while keeping my data intact) and this made no change. I have installed some new apps recently, but this was several days before the issues started. I have since installed those apps and no change
Tomorrow I plan to get a new sim card, but does anyone have any other ideas?
I recently had a similar problem with my z3v. I had a wakelock from Google services that was making my processor use almost 70% constantly and would drain battery in like 3 hours. Mine turned out to be Google calendar sync. My phone would lag so hard it couldn't run widgets or anything. Check your battery in settings and see if something has a high percentage. The screen should be the highest usage by a large margin.

I turned off auto-sync and no change. The screen was the largest use followed by the playstore which had be trying to start since I tried to open it.
My playstore was messed up and would not open while this was going on. It just stayed white and if I locked the screen it took 5 mins to unlock. I also have root and used wakelock detector. I used cpu z to see if I had high processor usage.
You can try ur phone in ultra stamina and see how it acts as well for troubleshooting.

Turns out the verizon cloud backs up text messages as well so that's what I needed. I ended up just doing a factory reset of the phone, seems like all is good now. I didn't think it was going to work since I put new firmware on it and nothing changed. It seems we had the same type of problem though. I did run the phone in safe mode with no improvement, but not ultra stamina. How did you end up fixing the problem?
My husband's phone started having basically the same issues out of the blue yesterday as well. It's not rooted or anything and he hasn't downloaded any apps or anything in weeks. Folks at Verizon store have no idea what's going on. We're about to try a factory reset. We also noticed the play store was burning a lot of battery even though he hadn't tried to open it or use it for several days at least, and can't get it to open now.
Try clearing play store "data" and "cache" through app manager.
This is a disaster, I've been trying forever to restore my text messages from the verizon cloud. Keeps failing after transferring less than 20 percent (different amount each time)
