Hi guys, I'm coming from an iOS iPhone 4 device to a Samsung Galaxy S2, So far I'm very satisfied by the performance of the device, the freedom of choice and let's just sum it up, Really happy about the switch.
Anyway can you guys recommend me some Battery saving tips?
What Kernels do you guys use, and that are battery life efficient, and do not sacrifice performance,
I'm running on 4.0.3 Stock ROM
I don't and will not switch from a regular Sammy rom, for certain reasons.
Thank you very much and sorry if I'm OT..
Hi, my first bit of advice is to learn how to flash roms and get your phone rooted!
I'm using a rooted, stock ROM from wanam and I've no complaints.
Once your rooted, the best app I've used for battery saving is called 'autostarts'. It allows you to control when an app starts (for example the google plus app starts after pretty much any event-like connecting a power cord for example).
Using just this app my overnight drain (11 pm to 7 am) went from 16% down to 8%.
The majority of battery monitors I've used just give you the 'feeling' you're saving battery on my experience!

Yes, Phenomenal kernel is very good :asd:
There are a lot of custom rom based on the stock samsung rom that add useful features. I reccommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498017

I've flashed my device with the Medium because for some reason the extreme won't boot up my device, I have a "cation" sign under my Phones name, anyway I noticed some apps appear on my device, "Superuser" and "CWM" That means my phone is rooted?
I recommend you to use the WanamLite ROMs (they are the stock ROMs with very few and essential tweaks, and root access). I'm using Fluxi kernel, but I'm using Paranoid Android, which is NOT a Sammy ROM.
Now, in order to save battery you can undervolt the processor, lock it to never go beyond certain speed (i.e 1GHz), use low brightness, disable automatic sync, use 2G, etc...
Hope I helped, and welcome to the wonderful Android world

Congrats on making the move from an OS that are you are told what you can & can't do to an OS that YOU tell what you want to do.
Always leave data network mode as deactivated unless you need it. Go into Settings>Wifi and click the menu button (soft key to the left of the home button) and click Advanced. Then under the option Wifi on during sleep select Never (or Only while charging). As a few other users stated, use auto brightness. Where you can, use the Application Manager widget on your home screen. If the number goes above 0 then you should click on it and kill the app (and clear the Ram as well for good measure. If you can, also use a static wallpaper instead of a live wallpaper, and also use black or dark colours as much as you can. Also open up your dialler and dial *#9900# and something called Sys Dump opens up. There is an option there called Disable Fast Dormancy. Press it to disable it.
I can't think of anymore at 11:35pm!
As for kernels, stock Samsung is all I use. Lots of people on XDA seem to use Cyanogenmod, CF-Root or Siyah.
Good luck and enjoy your freedom. :victory:
You can't practically do anything to save juice but installing some battery monitoring apps like Better Battery Stats, Watchdog etc. Just monitor what apps are causing Wakelocks or misbehaving, then disable the Sync in them.
And PLEASE DO NOT install any crappy apps, Play Store is full of them.
Oh, Android's biggest juice hogger is those ads, so install AdAway and remove those nonsense ads.
Good Luck.
First thing post in the correct forum. Second asking for whats better for "x" or "y" is not allowed as its relative to each person. So for that I will be locking this thread.

Hey. It seems like the "new" 4.0.4 (4.1.B.1.13) is available through Vodafone. I've just updated my phone and here are my thoughts.
1. The notification led problem hasn't been fixed.
2. There's no new kernel.
3. It's a bit smoother than .587. (Actually it's not. Just placebo.)
4. The touchpad responds better. (Placebo)
5. The dialer is much faster.
EDIT:
6. I'm disappointed in Sony. I've waited so long for this update and it's a pile of t****, slow and buggy. If you're still on GB, stick with it, don't "update"!
EDIT:
7. Sony, are you playing us? Video recording still laggy, audio output is still mono.
EDIT: According to CTCaer the only real change is related to WiFi libraries. There's also a new baseband which might also solve some signal issues. That's all folks! Don't expect better overall performance.
Download: http://d-h.st/WcP
Note. Vodafone branded. Contains carrier bloatware.
Some screens and Benchmarks.
still same pathetic mixed ui
What other changes? more screenshots please)) there is a problem with the network mode?
i'm still curious about what did they update actually. kernel is still the same exact kernel as .587, bit by bit.
if notification led and buggy video record with stabilizer on haven't been fixed, what is the change then?
btw i can see the baseband is .85 now.

Total waste of time. Going back to my sweet ginger because this update is a total fail. Also, this is totally my last Sony phone.
Whether switching of a mode of a network (2G/3G) after reboot is corrected?

Did they fix network mode resetting?
Did they changed, added, removed any widgets?
Is there still double "Fun & Downloads" widget?
Does "media shortcuts" widget still takes 4x2 grid instead 4x1 which is proper?
Is WiFi coverage still as weak as before?
Is app drawer still laggy as before?
Is overall experience still cluttered and choppy as before?
Is gaming still "mission impossible" as before?
I guess it will take some time to answer all this, but we're not rushing anywhere. Take your time.
this is like they mock us -.-
they releasing new firmware with no noticable changes

5,6,7) It's still full of lag. Homescreen switching is slow and choppy, the app drawer is the same. Video recording laggy and mono sounded. Gaming is laggy, for example, Temple Run lags, same as on .587
As for the rest, I can't tell for sure. Once I saw how bad it runs, I switched back to GB.
What's the change except numbers then?
thank god this is xda, custom rom and kernel beat the hell out of oem stock rom.
but at least they tried.
well try again next time, sony. try harder
sony just change number >>>
Why they release new firmware when there is no change?

I was sarcastic. They might have made changes, but who knows? There's no noticeable change! It still has the major problems .587 had.

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.
In everything - period.
Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.
But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...
As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.
I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...
I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

This.
Hi,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro running stock 4.1.B.0.587 with MESA kernel 3.5. I have frozen/uninstalled quite a few of the bundled applications and I have replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher Prime. After a reboot, the phone is quite snappy and fast, no lag when redrawing and everything is working very nicely together. However, after a few hours to a day of use, it gets quite sluggish: slow redraws, animations stutter, apps block/hang for a few seconds etc.
I would like to investigate this further, but I'm not quite sure of how to proceed. One thing that I have seen is that if I go Settings->Apps->Running, after a few hours to a a day of use, there are a few applications or services which say "restarting".
Do you guys have any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you!
One think I would suggest you is to debloat your phone as much as possible and then search for more ways!
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ

No, I'm not using any task killer or other system tuning apps, just the stock ROM without the bloatware. Otherwise, I use "normal", day-to-day apps.

You can try pimp my rom alpha from play store to add some tweaks and scripts to make your phone faster
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using xda premium
Yep pimp my Rom is good....also try some awesome tweaks of project fluid by mv_style and also the v6 supercharger, etc...that will make ur Rom faster but you can't anyhow expect very much from the stock Rom but u can always depend on custom roms based on stock if you want...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try it one of these days. Any other ideas, guys?
Use Android Assistant (18 features) and clean the cache. Do it often, ICS really generates a lot of cache compared to GB.
Though the best thing to do would be to flash a GB rom if you want your phone to be really smooth :good:
Simply restarting the phone will do the job!
Restart it once every (two) day(s).
or
Change the minfree and ADJ settings.
EDiT: check your vfs_cache_pressure value
If it's low, set a higher setting. MESA kernel sets it to 30, which is quite low and causes lags at the end of the day.
You can try to raise it to default stock 100 and see if that helps
Code:
echo "200" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
Flash a custom ROM. Usually they last longer without lag then stock ROM.
Also another solution is, you can try my X-PLODE tweaks. I think it should really boost your phone since it's on stock ROM.
Based on my experience after flashing almost EVERY available ROM and kernel on my st15i, I can suggest:
1. Use a memory manager like Smart RAM, Autokiller Memory Optimizer etc.
2. Use a cache cleaner app and set it to clear cache once or twice a day.
3. Use an app like SystemCleanup (free) and delete any system app you don't use or like.
4. You can send apps like your custom browser (I strongly suggest Nova) or GPS app to /system/app/ via SystemCleanup.
5. Flash custom kernel (I strongly suggest LuPuS or MESA Hybrid).
6. Find a light and fast custom ROM that suits your needs and flash it.
7. Enjoy. The power of Android is in your hands !
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time and answering me.

for sure u can also try my tweaks
In fact I found some bugs, could you please cross-check?
1. I can't access CWM anymore after update to 1.2.1 and playing a little bit with the rom (confirmed after clean install)
2. Smallapps only partially working - notes and app with the mic don't start (hold on home button to test it)
3. Multiple bootloops on SONY logo, only way to resolve is POWER + VOL UP combination for 5 seconds.
4. NFC removed completely...
5. MyXperia app FC.
Still, ROM looks fantastic 'till now
EDIT:
ad.1 CWM can be accessed by tapping sony logo on boot... now that wasn't obvious
ad.3 Sometimes you just have to wait for a couple of minutes for device to boot without any real reason
I'm looking for a perfect Rom for my daily use. Can Sb tell me if in this Rom is any battery drain? And which fixes (if any) whould you recommend?

i ve been enjoying this Rom very much
but i am facing a Problem where phone reboots wen i open some apps
it doesnt happen to one particular app and it occurs randomly
is this a common one or i have to reinstal the rom again
and also
i am kinda into music more so i installed acid audio engine through this mod "'QcAE V1.5.01(B1051) Custom ROM Installer''
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202814
but now my phone speakers have very low output
i tried to pull the xloud file from ROM but it aint there i checked in system lib no .so files found
i need Xloud of JB back it was loud
is there a solution for this
the above MOD is really good for ur headphones and works perfect with this ROM
I never knew such a thread existed
Ill keep an eye here too
Helo. Im using this rom for 4 days and i must say im impressed. Its a great rom for daily use and multimedia
Easy instalation (thats why i chose this rom). Had a little problems with flashing (bootloop) but 2nd time flashing evrything was ok (just my bad)
No lags in UI, no more unwanted apps, and almost perfect for daily use (got little hangup when entering to contacts. But its heven compared with official stock firmware (allmost 5 sec frez :/)
Had a little confusion with governors (witch one i should use) but after 2 days of test im realy happy with hotplugx + row (800/200) (antutu is 5447). On ondemend + sio (same 800/200 mhz i had battery drain (or maybe it was just a felling.. -> im targeting for longer battery life and no lag in UI. (max i had on interactive + sio 1ghz got 6791)
xperia sola is living 2nd life on this rom and im realy happy again for buing this phone so thanks all devs that make this rome happen (thanks buttons checked )

UPDATE up and running:good:
ROM is smooth lags not found
battery is good 2 percent loss on 8 hrs of night standby (no stamina mode or airplane mode)
lock sound is cool
new home is faster this appdrawer is better than one in project GX 4.1.2
new walkman works fine
and FYI people who have problems with system UI crashing u should not have cleared data or dalvik cache after flashing stock JB,
Flash the .54 FTF, Let it load and Fastboot experimental 7.1 kernel, then flash Stock JB from Munjeni
reboot, let the ROM setup then reboot into CWM wait for some time in boot as it ll take more time
then flash Project XV 2.1.1 without clearing data or dalvik cache
That should give u a good working ROM
Will test and Post about Bugs If any..:highfive:

Thats some pretty awesome stats even for a stock GB
And Now I present to you gentlemen then infamous flatline which I have been searching for
Overnight discharge 0%
App which I think made it possible.
Greenify
And various In ROM tweaks.
One whole week of full charge to full discharge. Combined with the app mentioned & tweaks in ROM I could achieve a flatline(meaning 0% discharge) when the screen was off. But the problem is when the screen came back on battery dropped 1% every 15-20 Mins(with net turned on)

Sure!
Well i did a lot of things but those which concern battery use were:
-After some trying other roms i noticed that .431 had better battery use and a lot of mods so i choose this one to make my perfect rom.
-Removed all bloatware and even some non bloatware system apps that i dont use (taken from several threads like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614761
, I experimented freezing some apps that i thought werent necessary but i didn t want to delete, like clockserivice.apk or even semcalendar.apk
-Installed New xperia JB 4.2 Adreno libs for our little arm cpu.
-Ive tried Greenify but it doesnt seem to work for me.(but my mini pro doesnt need it , its super fast)
-Most recently ive frozen SystemUI service "LoadAverageService" Which seems to take some unecessary RAM Use. (i havent had any problem)
-I've searched for those apps that are light , fast and RAM friendly (Nova launcher, quickpic, whatsapp+ , google keyboard, etc)
(replaced sony camera app with JB camera sony camera had some thumbnail bug)
-I dont use Facebook app everytime i install it my phone slows down.
-Moved most of apps to sd via ext partition ( Link2sd) ive only left in internal those one that i really need to be responsive like the app launcher
Also fixed most problems with .431 rom like the LED and some other things i really cant remember ( ive had this rom for so much time , that level of satisfaction i have)
In things not related to battery:
-Installed Stock AOSP FUll Black SystemUI (I love the JB UI) (modded by me to have a clock) from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840580.

Thanks I will try it to .587 on my mini. About the link2Sd, does it lessen the memory card life when used.
How did youdisable the LoadAverageService? Titanium backup?

As far as i know yes it does but i personally dont think it will be that much to not use link2sd.

Under system apps > systemui > uncheck loadaverageservice

I tried the disable service app, and disable the loadaverageservice, but with the extent that the disableservices app is having 12mb on the ram. Is it still worthy to use it?
And I also see that google services app has many running services, is there any safe to disable?

This is the thread where i got the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372363 maybe you can look for more opinions , for me its worth it as it doesnt affect any functionality in my sk17
About disabling google services , do some research (or crazy experiments :laugh: ) about what does it do every running service you would like to stop. I still dont have knowledge enough to recommend mingling with that services and i totally wouldnt recommend it.
cheers friend
