[Q] Does resetting my phone increase battery life? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The search button on threads doesn't work for the moment. :l
My battery drains way too fast. Currently I am running Wolf's Tw gb on ul bootloader and doom kernel.
It doesn't drain that fast before. I used to listen to music without my battery going empty quickly, now it drains fast after every song even when the screen is turned off.
Should I just reset my phone back to normal?
Also some questions about resetting:
1. Does factory reset (on xRec) fully reset everything? Like my rom and my kernel, would it be reverted to the first time or would it remain the same?
2. Will factory resetting on the main settings itself also work? Would it reset my rom too?
I currently have no access to reset my phone through a computer (my pc crashed). Neither do I have access to add other roms on my memory card since there isn't a custom zip nor a backup of previous rom. (It's on my pc :l )
(Sorry if it takes time to read )

question number 1, i havent done that, but i think resetting ur phone using xRec would not make your phone reverted to its original, it just delete all your files and installed apps. just backup your important files...
question number 2, goes the same, your rom wont change, your still a Wolf's Tw gb subscriber XD...

Use Google Play GSam Battery Monitor and find out what's using all your battery.
Oh, ....and then refine or delete/uninstall the process.

Resetting ur phone wont make any change in battery life..
Maybe u installed some apps that make ur phone drain the battery faster..
And u can try to reset the battery stats (i havent seen any change after doing it.. But some other x10 users say it'll help)

If you don't install those auto-start apps (killing them won't help so don't try, u must root your device then stop them from auto-start apps using tuner apps)
I'm sure factory reset can increase your standby time but doesn't work if you keep screen on or making calls a lot (flashing stock Tom is better than factory reset if you installed Mods)
have luck!

1) Factory reset will retur you to the clear ROM (already installed on your phone) just erase configuration, email accounts configured, and everything which is related with accounts and user configurations only
2) Check answer of the first question

Help Date & Time issues when changing batteries!

​Hello there.
Somebody please HELP!!
Okay I have a serious problem, I'm on CheckROM V6 and lately I'm facing this problem when I change batteries, I charge them on a wall charger the original one from SAMSUNG.
When I remove the battery and put a fully charged one the date and time changed to 2:00AM , Feb-1-2000 and the device becomes laggy plus I keep getting security warnings on every web page I go to.
The problem last 5-10 minutes and then the time and date return to the network preset, I tried to uncheck the network settings, changed modems, kernels, wiping everything possible and fixing permissions..
Nothing happened.​
Thank you in advance.
Reflash stock rom & see if you can reproduce the problem.
If you don't have the problem with stock, then it's a problem with the rom you're using. In that case, do a completely clean reinstall of the rom (do a factory reset first) & do not restore system apps & in particular do not restore system data. Ideally, you'd do a clean install of all your apps too.

Thanks, will try that.. But I did a full wipe and re-installed the same custom ROM I'm on and nothing changed!
I understand that. And the reason you need to test it out on stock is to see if it's a problem with that custom rom or possibly something else.

Having issues is it 4.0.4 or my phone?

I am having real issues with 4.0.4, When I upgraded to ICS from GB I did the usual clear caches, factory reset and all the rest, but performance was slow, the phone would restart, the phone would lock up resulting in having to remove the battery to get it going again, I've had apps close unexpectedly, launcher crashing and restart, it was a major pain in the behind. I thought OK I will install a custom ROM so I installed CM9, did the usual reset procedure etc but still performance is not great, its like the phone is struggling with memory or something, and yesterday opened the BBC news app and the entire phone locked up again resulting in having to remove the battery, so the same issues are happening on a custom rom that I had on stock.
So I am wondering is it something with 4.0.4 or is it something with my phone? Memory problems etc.

- update your apps to latest versions via playstore for best compatibility.
- don't restore app + data using titanium backup after upgrade, or flashing CM9, it will drag down the performance. You can however, restore apps only.

You might be onto something, I used TB to restore app & data on CM9

and that's the reason why you have sluggish performance.
If you read the warnings on CM9 thread, first post, it's categorically started there too

I really need help, XP battery and slow

Hey guys, I am new here and I need some help, my Xperia P have big problems, battery is draining, with 100% only take 30 minutes or less to be on 0%, and is very slow, all started when I change ICS to JB, my phone was not too fast like before, now, trying to repair that and looking to solve problems with battery time I have Unlocked Bootloader and installed a Kernel (Phanton), including the Moonbreaker Rom, and the phone is worse, very low performance and battery draining like a hell, so, I need to know, how can I fix it and how to make a new clean Rom installation without delete all my data, PLEASE Helpppppp!!
@AlbertCamus
First lets hear which firmware have you installed (link t thread) and which pjantom kernel.
I can't even imagine how the battery be drained 100% in 30 minutes, from tests I have done and 2 and a half hours HD youtube video over wifi drains the battery about 51-56%, so thats way too much.
I am using stock ROM and kernel with few tweaks and today I had about 40% drain after 21 hours and 1 hour 20 minutes of screen on time (no calls no data)
All you need is rooted stock ROM 6.2.A.1.100, and it's quite easy to do.
The data you should simply backup, backup with stock backup, export your contacts, and then if you wish you can backup with titanium backup or other.
I also keep my phone backed up with my google account.
You won't lose data on internal storage only on device memory.

I have this rom: JB MoonBreaker v3.5 ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258058
And this Kernel: Phantom Kernel v 1.1.0 b Stock JB Kernel - Power Saver Edition, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43351279&postcount=201
I have to say I was having problems with battery drain before installed that Kernel and Rom, with Stock JB, but I really need to solve it, I have CWM, Root and UnlockBootloader, how can I do a clean rom installation and... do you recommend me go back to Stock JB and Stock Kernel? or what another Kernel? man I need help, this is making me crazy.
How did you upgrade from ICS to JB and what JB version is it?
If you have used PC Companion you can simply do repair to have stock back and take it from there step by step.
You can disable services you don't use, delete apps you don't use (I delete most of what comes with stock)
Than there are few tweaks like S98screenstate_scaling you can use (neets init.d support), Install Greenify to keep apps from running in background, and of course STAMINA mode help to save some more juice.
Most omportant, relax

My first update was through Flashtool, ICS to JB, later the second update JB to next firmware through PC Companion
I will try to repair with PC Companion now, hope this work about battery problems....
And yes... I will try to relax haha,
Plain stock should not me more than 20% drain for 10 hours standby time with wifi.
EDIT: I forgot PC Companion won't update lunlocked bootloader but you can still build the FTF file from PCC files after it finish d/l them and tell you it can't update, and flash it with flashtool.

Wi-Fi starts up too slow, Galaxy S4

Hi guys ! Haven't found this thread anywhere so I had to ask.
When I installed a new Stock ROM everything was perfect, but as time went by, my wifi started to turn on slower and slower, now it takes him about 1 minute just to turn on. When I turn it on and go to Settings it just shows a blank page until the wifi turns on.
Please, DO NOT suggest:
1. Cache wiping
2. Safe mode and uninstalling previous apps
3. Wifi boosters
4. Advanced Wifi settings, special menu settings, turning of battery savings etc
Since I have tried all of those options
And yeah, everytime I reinstall a Stock ROM it works like a charm, but I don't have time to do it every 3-4 months just to make wifi fast as a lightning, as installing a new rom takes time and reinstalling all the apps makes me very nervous
Thanks for the answers, stay cool as always !
Other than using another kernel, not really sure what would help with that. I used to have an S4 and work on them often and hadn't seen that kind of thing before. Very odd behavior...

I really have no idea what could it be, I recently factory reseted the phone and Wi-Fi worked again like a charm...
If the problem was kernel, can you recommend me how to find the appropriate one for my ROM and can I add it to the phone through ODIN without resetting the device ?
Thanks for the answer !
Post a screenshot of the About Phone section showing the Build Number of the software. That'll help determine which kernel to try. You'll need a custom recovery such as TWRP to install the kernel. Kernel installs are done through the recovery and only require wiping of cache and dalvik cache, not a factory reset. It's recommended to perform a backup in recovery to be able to restore if the kernel doesn't work or has adverse effects.
Here it is...will have to look up about thie things you just wrote on how to do it, cause I am a 100% dumbass for this

Data Encryption Unsuccessful (On Both Rooted & Stock Non-Rooted) ROM

I'm so lost and confused over this since yesterday...
so 2 days ago my phone started lagging and hanging and freezing until i realized i have got this issue with data encryption
i have a rooted sony z2 with TWRP Custom recovery
first i didn't know it was with data encryption failure so i literally factory reset and installed all my apps and data again and again!!!
On both rooted and non rooted rom ....
after every time my phone started to lag !!
after one whole day of trying everything i finally realized its actually with the data encryption and i should change my ex4 to something else... so here again i wiped the phone and changed to ex3 and installed and all my data and apps all over again
but after a couple hours...same problem again.....
im literally so tired of not knowing what to do ! my head hurts so much due this ugh....
Please help me get rid of this issue thanks ...!
Hey, i would flash the full stock rom without root and twrp and look. I think it is a problem with the twrp recovery.
On my V30 with Oreo we should flash a zip that disable data encryption after some modification in Recovery.
Just try for a week the full stock rom.

Well i have already tried using the stock ROM without any root or recovery !!
and its still the same
however im not sure whats the zip file u r talking about and where i can get it for my Sony z2 D6502...
By the way i just thought it might be another reason that my device is lagging so much after installing like 30/40 apps.
i have overclocked my CPU with root and even after flashing the stock rom i feel like CPU settings hasn't been reset? is it possible?
its always on end MAX and less Min value on both stock/pre root rom my CPU gets very hot on TWRP specially, its more than 70Celcious so i thought maybe its a hardware issue and my CPU is overheating bcuz its old or something... and i should prolly change my CPU ?
i really don't understand whats wrong with my phone and im so confused about what to do
I had here a Z1 and Z2 both was my previous phones.
I didnt experienced such problems except i backup or restore anything in TWRP.
My questions for you are:
On which Version are you now?
What do you done exactly before the problem starts?
Get a Monitor App from Playstore and look what cause this high load. Or you take a look in the Developers Option for this.
We got here a not tasty problem, maybe you backup your whole data and reset all to stock and don't install any apps, after a while installing step by step your apps.

I dont think if its even about TWRP because i even installed the stock rom with Flashtool and started installing my apps one by one and after a couple hrs device started lagging and freezing and odd how Wifi gets soooo slow ! (like everything gets slow in it) and also when i reboot the phone it oddly takes long time on boot menu to load .
im not sure if i did anything to cause it tbh...
it just happened on a normal day...
it gets soooo slow and leaves no other way for me but factory reset option...
i have the latest rom 23.5.A.1.291
the only time i can get it temporary fixed is when i backup the rom on TWRP and factory reset the Rom and Restore it back!
and everything is working fast and fine again only for like 6 or less hours...
and while data is restoring TWRP shows the CPU Temp on +80C !! Is this normal?
Btw i have a unlocked bootloader.
do u have any idea what i should do?
Yes i do! You need a structure by fixing a problem, my plan is:
You must explorer the problem why your phone get so laggy.
Perform a factory reset and use your phone for 1 Day with this stock setup. (Dont restore your old apps or data)
Look often into the Task Manager to show what cause the cpu load.
