[Q]{Problem found!} Very Big problem wih battery drain - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello X10 users,
Since very long time I can't leave my phone over the night because the battery is being drained extremely by the phone processes.
I'm currently on TUG ROM with Semc Debrand Engine Kernel.
Ive noticed the problem very long time ago, when I had all apps installed.
Here are some screenshots when I had all of the apps installed. It's the battery usage over night.

So I decided to wipe everything from my phone and leave it clean for the night and that's what came up.
Everything is being drained by deactivated phone. It was in FLIGHT MODE. So what the hell is happening.
To compare. I had my friend's phone, also X10 with completely clean DonutHD 2.2.8 ROM and it had no SIM card. Wen I left it over night the battery drain was NONE. It hasn't even changed for 1%. The diagram was completely flat.
Do You have any explanation for it? Should I try other ROM?

You should try other Rom, I had pretty same problem with ICS roms. So I changed it to MM CM 7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25086089
And I played with my phone for a while and it was 44% and I woke up and saw 48%.

I tried today also DonutHD 2.2.9 ROM and it didn't help much. However after i took out my SD card and put that back in the battery drain stopped for now. I'll post later if it has changed or not

Your battery drain is bcoz of deepsleep issue....I had also experienced the same issue on TUG rom...
Install cpuspy app and check whether it goes into deep sleep mode or not..
If not, then change the cpu governor and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Ok I will let You know tomorrow how the usage states are. For now on I have no Overclocking app so the governor is default (ondemand?).
Normally I use smartassv2

Have u checked stock rom?
But it looks like theres no deep sleep cause idle drains lot of battery.

Deep Sleep works just fine. Now the battery usa was bettery, but still not the best. I don't know where the problem is.

was the phone in airplane mode for this time? if not the drain is due to having no signal.

Best bet is to flash new rom and kernel

Yep, I was also thinking about it. I made a thread about battery I'm interested about, but no answers. It is a gold one 2430mah.

Already tried. Sometimes it just uses so much battery and sometimes the drain stops. Don't know what's wrong

Think its time for a new battery
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

The battery drain can be caused by many reasons:
+ runninh apps in bg: some apps just dare to run while phone should sleep (over night ), like facebook, it seems to run all the time (a reason to delete it and use fast for facebokk or whatever), others like googelmail or weather refresh all five minutes.... Solution: delete all apps you dont need, or set that actualisation rate.to as minimal as possible, you can download zdbox, its a great tool, with it you can set that all apps get shutdown when you lock your screen.
+ it could also be caused by a deep sleep problem (i also had it sometimes, appears after installing a new rom or flashing sonetging without wiping, or whatever i am no expert), that means that your phone doesnt go into deepsleep when you shut the screen down, and the cpu runs on in 128mhz, what costs lots of batttery.... proof this theory by downloading cpuspy, and look after one night how much it was in deepsleep, if its less deepsleep than 128, you have a deepsleep problem, fix it by wipin cache partition and dalvik, then set another governor and reboot
+ could be caused by the phone searching for the best signal, thats the thing on my phone that causes most battery drain (~35%), its just the phone searching for a gokd signal, if thats away, it searchrs and searches all the time - costs massively battery. I your diagramm it should be called mobilestandby (by the way, the curves in signal diagramm are an indivator for unstable signal) (something like that) for solution there is a free app in the market, called battery saver (you will find more than one app, look in description, there should be mentioneđ this problem)
+ Could be a big poisoned mixturw of all these reasons....
I recommend you to try all those solutions (maybe try cpuspy first, im sure its that reason)
It could also be that your phobe just f*cked up like mine, i am having hard battery drain while using my phone (7%lost only by writing this article hope for you thats its another thing)

[Q] Serious Battery Drain

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

It's not in the list, I can't find "Google services" either.
Here is a screenshot, I can't find anything about this service / process. How do I freeze it? I do not use Gtalk.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

[XPeria Mini] Battery Saving apps?

I d like to read your experience with battery saving apps like JuiceDefender.
Do these apps really help?
I already use the phone with Bravia Engine Off,Screen Brightness at 30%,GSM only,DATA Off and Sync Off but I d like some more battery saving in order to get more than 30h out of every charge!
My phone is the XPeria Mini ST15i.

Have to agree.
You can't get more juice from 1200 mAh battery. You have to deal with it.
I get same results on my stock-modified LWW, I don't sleep long enough to get exact results, but I do get also 0,3-0,5% drain per hour.
disable sync - it means less wake-up's ...and data of course
my phone goes for two days without that using FXP rom

Is there any chance that WiFi tweaks drain the battery so fast?
I mean HT Enable,Burst mode and so on? When using Tapatalk and Twitter etc the battery drains like crazy!

Try to do one thing at a time. Multitasking consumes a lot CPU power, high computer freq=high voltage. About the Wifi tweak i dnt see any difference though my phone can last 1.5 - 2 days w/o chargng with around 6-8hrs wifi usage(FB/XDA/mails), minimal gaming and walkman usage.
Try to throttle your min-max cpu freq and set your governor to brazillianwax or powersaver if you are not using it. Manually switch to smartassV2 or performance when browsing or playing games. Also use noop as I/O scheduler, most users say it is battery friendly.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm still trying to find out what's happening with the power drain.
I should mention also that the mini is V6 supercharged if it makes a difference.
Also take a look at the following photos.It s from the last 24h.

It is normal, however when you are using the phone, something uses battery. What did you use the phone for while using it?

That's about it.
We are talking about idle time of 18 out of 23 hours (!).
I still think something causes drain.Maybe the V6 SCharger?

A few suggestions:
1/ Flash .64 baseband if you don't have that already. I find it's better for batt life.
2/ Try adding these lines to build.prop
Code:
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
3/ Remove all bloatware.
Here's a link that might help with that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328322
4/ You could try to flash a custom ROM. I'm not sure if every ROM requires BL to be unlocked. I've unlocked mine the minute I got it....
Thank you for the reply!
Baseband is already .64!
I have already uninstalled each and every app I don't use!
I ll try the build tweaks.
What do they do exactly?
N.
Ps.I can't find power collapse.
Sent from one of my 5 iPads.
Code:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
Allows the phone to sleep better
Code:
pm.sleep_mode=1
Saves power when phone is sleep
Try it, it may help a bit.
BTW- kickas kernelizer can cause an increase in battery drain. At least for me it does. So if you installed it along with V6, remove it...
No,I don't have KAK installed.
I guess I ll resort to a fresh installation and I ll take it from there a step at a time...
Also my battery never seems to charge more than 4180mV no matter how many times I ve deleted battery stats and charged to 100% etc.Weird.

Deleting batterystats file doesn't do anything to your phone. You are just deleting file manually, that actually is removed after every full charge.
There is no such thing as battery calibration for Androids. You just can't get more juice from there.

install cpu spy to see if your phone goes in deepsleep or not
Install betterbattystats and see which apps are causing wakelocks and how long your phone is active while screen is off.
you can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
After one night running these apps, post some screenshots of it here (graphs of betterbatterystats and wakelocks)
You can find the graphs by going to betterbatterystats --> settings --> more --> history
Flashing roms you say?
What I've noticed, is that after flashing my phone to a different rom, it screws with the battery calibration. What happened with mine, was that I flashed a rom whilst the battery was at 50% and after the flash, it assumed that was 80%.
Have a shot at recalibrating the battery using an app called 'Battery Calibration' by NeMa, it's available on the Google Play store. Sorry that I couldn't post links, I'm still at a low post count
Let me know the results.
ok guys i'll try ur two ways
and i'll tell u my experience

there isn't any problem with your battery at all
your phone enters deep sleep very well , just to know
3g is battery eater , it can drain your battery about 4-5% in only 15-20 min
also decrease the screen brightness as higher brightness will drain your battery very fast , don't worry about your phone or battery
also if you want to save some % , underclock your cpu&gpu
and you may also undervolt , and try diffrent kernels
btw : the battetycalibration app can't do any thing with our battery chip , it is usefull only for other phones , our phone has a diffrent chip
the best way to calibrate your battery , just turn you phone off , and charge it tell 100% , remove your battery from it for about 2 min , then put iy again , and now it is well calibrated , or you can only charge the phone as normal and it will calibrate itself

first of all calm down. shouting gets you nowhere.
I'm afraid if he's telling you he's getting a solid 12hrs with constant 3g usage then he's lying, simple as that.
if I use the net on my fone using 3G then I can see the battery going down as I use. 12 hours is nonsense
Hi
I got my s2 a week ago. I use it all stock, version is IML74K.XWLPD.
For me android-os is a big post in my battery-log. If I just leave the phone on the table for some time android-os can be as high as 80%. Is this a bug or something? I checked my friend's battery-log on his s2 and he didnt even have android-os post in his list...
I have installed both betterbatterystats and battery monitor widget to see if any app is causing this. Then I saw the processes kworker00,kworker01, kworker02, kworker03...I dont know what this process is. Anyone have any idea? Maybe this is my problem.
I also installed watchdog but everything seemed to be ok.
Thanks
guys this is awful !!

[Q] Battery going old?

Hey, my phone has been bought in on September 2011.
I noticed battery keeps my phone shorter than it's been before.
Is it either by ICS or battery is just getting old and less reliable?
I use XWLPG and my hourly battery usage is about 0.8% to 1.4% (battery monitor).
Sometimes after I unplug from charger and keep phone alone, battery usage is about 0.1%... dunno why and how....
I use only few background apps:
- network type marker (to show I am in either 3G or 2G)
- TotallRecall for call recording
I know in GB I could unplug phone for night and by few hours I could loss max 1-2 percent (sometimes even 0% by 6 hours).
Now I lose usually 5-7%.
Do you have similar symptoms in your phones?

hey pal i also bought my s2 during the same period and my batt is good enough even now
u have to check which apps is causing the batt drain for u since in ICS, also turn off ur data connection when not in use since they also cause heavy batt drain
u can try Better battery app from store to see the wakelocks that is causing batt drain
ps- before all change ur modem and see
There are a couple of reasons why your battery is performing like that.
Some of my friends have reported lesser battery life when they switched to ICS, even when running the exact same apps. So you might want to try different ICS firmwares/roms to see if that will make a difference. Although, I'm using XWLPG also and it drops ~7% overnight. Same as your's.
Also, if you find that your battery levels are wack, then you might have a faulty battery. On my GNote, I sometimes have to push the battery upwards while turning the phone on so that the contacts touch. I think that it may have been due to constant charging (may be wrong) So, yes, there is a possibility that your battery is getting 'old'.

I don't use data connection and use same apps like in GB. I did check and deep sleep works, wakelocks test will have to wait till tomorrow when I charge battery fully^^

Hmm I am glad to hear you've got similar power drain during night. Perhaps ICS is really more powerhungry than GB. I will test in Better battery app for wakelocks occurence.
I don't know how and in what way the battery monitor reliable can be, especially when I see hourly battery drain. Generally sometimes I see power drain at 0.1-0.2%, sometimes at 1% but in same time CPU was doing nothing... (deep sleep).
I found Camera eats a lot of power compared to GB... or it is only my imagination
OK I checked Better Battery Aps but frankly dunno how to read values.
I have such thing:

Normal Drain?
I lose 10-15% of battery overnight. I was told that's normal. I have the LG Optimus L9 P769 with the latest Jellybean update and factory reset. It seems normal that an android drains 1-2% on idle every hour.

The 12hrs is total time running on battery, isn't it? So 12hrs since disconnecting from charger.
I'm jealous as my phone will completely drain within 3-5hrs just sitting with screen off.
thanks JB

WIFI sits at the top of my battery usage screens but it seems it doesn't use the battery all that much.
Took the phone off charge at 10pm last night, turned off wifi/gps, set network manually to UMTS, turned on battery saver and went to bed. Woke up at 2:15 and phone was already dead.
Looking at battery screen currently and after 83 minutes it's down to 60% with only cell stand by and phone idle showing under battery usage.
Cell standby is eating my battery at an alarming rate. I went to bed last night with about a 55% charge, got up this morning and my phone was out of juice.
I am constantly seeing cell standby as the top battery consumer.
Where and how can we report this issue to LG?
if this issue is worth getting rid of the phone, then why not flash ICS? What will you really miss from JB?

Going back to ICS did not fix the issue in my case.
It changed what was shown in the battery usage screen but battery drain itself remained.

grab BetterBatteryStats and see what keeps draining it. I had a drain issue, got BBS from google play, saw a partial wakelock staying on, googled it, and was able to fix it. You could also install init.d support for stock kernel and flash some of the available tweak zips and see if that changes anything.

That's the problem. Nothing really looks out of the ordinary.
Only AlarmMnager(phone and android os) looks to be popping up every few seconds and com.android.phone shows 300 wakeups.
Phone shows deep sleep 135 minutes out of the 160 it's been on and in that 160 minutes battery is down to 60%.
Tweaks were applied a while ago and made a big difference on 20d, not 20f.
Same issue.
Last night before I slept, my P769's battery was over 80% and when I got up the phone was off... !! :crying:
