Many users of CM9 FXP roms have reported a battery drain. I have submitted a bug report but it's been marked as invalid so we are not going to get support from FXP.
My suggestion is to really try and find out our selves why this is happening.
The battery drain is happening when the screen is off and the device should be asleep, it can drain up to 10% battery an hour. It doesn't happen in airplane mode.
If you have the battery drain issue please help us out by providing information here: battery stats, betterbatterystats, apps installed that could possibly be draining battery or preventing phone from sleeping, info about your carrier, other bugs you might have.
Please don't post here if you are using a modified version of the rom or kernel and if you haven't tried e full wipe.
R: XPERIA U - Battery drain with FXP roms
To "Greenify" apps is not a real solution(and btw doesn't even work for me) because we don't need to do this with the same apps installed on stock rom or older versions of FXP.
FXP did suggest in the comment that it might also be related to carrier so let's look into that.
I suggest trying to turn off "fast dormancy".
You'll find info about fd here http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/674208-fast-dormancy-in-nutshell.html
PS. I don't know how to disable fd on this device so if you find out how to do it let me know!
The phone seldom goes to sleep if the data is on. There is something about the data that keeps the phone awake all the time (not the case with WiFi).
Ha ve you tried to reboot your phone just after you disconnect the device from the battery charger?
Sometimes I've noticed that the battery drai was very fast, just after a full charge, and then, after a reboot, the battery drain returns normal.
R: XPERIA U - Battery drain with FXP roms
Ok, I've been testing battery drain with just wifi on. I've hibernated every app with Greenify one by one. After many tests I noticed that hibernating "Google Play Music" stops the drain when on wifi.
Tomorrow I'll test data and see if it's the same.
It's strange since the same app doesn't seem to cause this issue on stock rom or on other devices.
But I still have to test data so don't draw any conclusions yet.

Well I do greenify almost every app and I can assure that it has nothing to do with play music... It is strange, because it feels like it has the same battery consumption like in stock Roms, but with a less capable battery

Battery consumption is another issue, I'm talking about the battery drain that happens when you don't even use the phone.
For your issue check that the min CPU frequency on performance settings is 200, sometimes it's set on 1000 by mistake.

Ok, I've read the post and it makes sense, I'm not a developer but I seem understand that this elf. 3 is kind of misterous and it's needed to avoid battery drain. But FXP doesn't seem to agree.
A solution would be for someone to compile a kernel with elf.3, we can test it and see if battery drain dissappears!
This is strange, I just made few changes, and yesterday my battery lasted 13h with 5-and-a-half hours of screen on, better performance than in stock Rom...
Any of the custom kernels for CM have elf.3?

I did not plug off the phone from the charger until the status in settings>about phone>status>battery status changed from charging to charged, and in the SlimCM Rom I use there is a little bug with the CPU frequencies. So I checked that min freq and max freq were set to 200 and 1000 and set these to be applied on every boot.

I think it's kernel problem. Try another custom CM kernel.

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

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)

Hi,
check with CPU spy if your X10 enters deep sleep mode. I had the problem 2-3 times that my phone didn´t enter deep sleep and that drained my battery.
Ralf
Just checked ...
998 MHz - 43%
768 MHz - 18%
576 MHz - 19%
384 MHz - 2%
245 MHz - 6%
Deep Sleep - 8%
My brother was playing Angry Birds on it (just for info)
I have noticed that the battery works fine when the phone is not in use... As soon as I start using it the battery icon starts reducing..
couple of issues.. first of all the battery life while using the phone has reduced it was better previously..
The phone appears to be more heated when playing games..
I updated the rom as well but after that I found bravia engine and xloud disappeared, then I installed the addon for bravia engine and xloud.. after that I checked the phone info and I found that the rom that is displayed is Wolf_Xperia_4.2.1_cust
Same here, on Wolf_Xperia_4.0.3_cust, was working almost perfectly on previous release but this seems to drain 5% in 3-5 mins use. The phone is fine when in deep sleep.
I have check CPU Spy and the phone does enter deep sleep. Almost as soon as the display come on it goes down 1%.
It's very strange.

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

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.

Try setting your minimum CPU freq to 250MHz. It actually uses way less juice then 134MHz!

I've never experienced bigger batt drain when charged AC as opposed via USB?
I'll try to reproduce that effect though...

That should do it.

Guys before flaming, try AOKP JB 4.1.2 Milestone 1 by Bytecode, you'll notice the difference in battery life. It's based on 2.6 kernel
actualy JAVA causes battery drains:
"What’s the worst thing about Android which iPhone does not suffer from? It’s battery drain. With the battery strength most manufacturers are putting in the phone, it appears, 3 years down the line we would need car batteries with the tablet and phones (I’d prefer carrying my CPU on head anyways)! This is one thing where iPhone beats Android hands down and proves its pure awesomeness! But we believe Apple hasn’t put any patent on that word so we can use that for Ubuntu Phone as well.
The reason Android sucks (the phone’s battery) is ‘Java’. Most hardcore tech geeks (aka hackers) call Java a pathetic language. We’d call it (and .NET) a technical eunuch – it is not compiled to binary, it is not interpretable as a script and what do you get – a false sense of security. Yep, under certain circumstances, it is beneficial but then (whatever happened to reverse engineering techniques) a Mobile OS and Java? That sounds like a troubled marriage. Java is one of the biggest reasons why Android under-performs. A significant amount of power gets consumed for the bytecode interpretation. Alright, it is technically not the bytecode as in Java SE/ME and is an optimized and converted version of the same which runs on the Dalvik VM but it’s still far from binary." from here http://www.c-integration.com/blog/showpost.php/75-5-reasons-why-ubuntu-phone-can-blow-away-android

Well,in ics you can flash a 2.6 kernel.I used it too(4d kernel by S'n'S),but not because of battery,but in terms of performance is way better than 3.0.x.However I admit that on 2.6 the battery is a little better.You just have to optimize the phone corectly !

not necessarily direct battery drain..but cause Wakelocks which increase battery drain
battery drain is, I think, now native in Android, it depends only how bad is it, some gapps make wakelocks preventing deepsleep, and wifi that is really a big trouble with 3.0 kernel, and since we do not have an 3.0 kernel designed specific for O1 and has an increased battery drain(especialy wifi drain) did someone used an special app like SetCpu or CPUMaster that has profile settings for over/under clock that you can set to see if this app prevents wakelocks with 3.0 kernel ?
and, the battery drain is increasing as OC or no ? in my opinion it shouldn't be, or not? a drain is a drain and should be same or is exponential ?
so OC makes CPU drain more, gapps drains too, wifi drains, outch, poor battery, screen drains? cannot read anything on phone in daylight if it's not at max, what does more drain ? some funny apps installed from market for my kids (like Talking Friends, Talking Tom etc) why apps does not really close when you close them? here is an major issue, apps not really closing but run in background draining juice and creating wakelocks
so, my conclusion, EVERYTHING DRAINS BATTERY, oh, and does anyone remember if stock rom has battery drain? I think yes
And YES, the kernel 3.0 is a bit problematic, you notice the difference in the duration of the battery... the deepsleep is not working fine with that kernel!

so OC makes CPU drain more, gapps drains too, wifi drains, outch, poor battery, screen drains? cannot read anything on phone in daylight if it's not at max, what does more drain ? some funny apps installed from market for my kids (like Talking Friends, Talking Tom etc) why apps does not really close when you close them? here is an major issue, apps not really closing but run in background draining juice and creating wakelocks
so, my conclusion, EVERYTHING DRAINS BATTERY, oh, and does anyone remember if stock rom has battery drain? I think yes

And YES, the kernel 3.0 is a bit problematic, you notice the difference in the duration of the battery... the deepsleep is not working fine with that kernel!

i use DS battery saver which forces deep sleep and setcpu profiles.standby battery is great without wifi/3g
standby [email protected] 5-10% per hour.
while using 15% per hour..

OMG ...This kernel is maddening me...
@hariraj96, you're on JB, right? Try getting the Greenify app, then use it to hibernate problematic/resource consuming apps. I find that using Greenify along with CrossBreeder (performance & battery saving tweaks, found here on XDA) helped me get the most out of my battery when using JB (jenkins build).

This is CrossBreeder. It's a collection of tweaks/mods that, IMHO, works really well in smoothing out the performance and user experience of a phone like the O1. Simply flash the mod, and you're done, no configuring required. The governor tweaks and IO tweaks are disabled by default, though, so you'll need to enable them yourself (I find that enabling them helps with battery life slightly).
A caveat: CrossBreeder is incompatible with many other mods that do similar things (eg. V6 Supercharger, Seeder, etc.), so you need to remove those other tweaks if you want to try CrossBreeder. You shouldn't have too many tweaks installed at the same time, anyway, since you run the risk of conflicts.

Oxygen ROM, the best!
You, guys, never tried Oxygen 2.x by popdog123! It's actually the ROM which is the most optimized for our phone! Leaving the 3G on during the whole day, while being connected to my home router only spent 3-4% of my battery! Can you imagine how long your phone can be running on a single charge?! Trust me, this is a revolutionary ROM for our beloved smartphone

Hi everyone!
Some days ago I bought a new battery for my S3 (seller said to be genuine) and I am disappointed because its performance is almost the same as the one I was experiencing with my old battery (18 month-old battery). For this reason, I have been researching and I have done this until now:
*) Being honest, this comparison is somehow subjective since apart from the battery change, my S3 was officially updated from 4.1 to 4.3 almost at the same time I changed the battery. Then, I wonder whether this update may have affected my diagnosis on the battery duration.
1) According to the point * I decided to do a battery calibration "without root" consisting in draining the battery to 0% and charging until 100%. I haven't seen any improvement doing this.
2) As consequence I analyzed wakelocks. I have addressed two of them from the System:
- AudioOutLock. to fix this one I did as recommended: disabling sounds when typing and all of this.
- Backup. Fixed by disabling the backup from Google (I would like to have it enabled but if it is causing a battery drain...)
3) I let the phone the whole night turned on with the 3g connection on and I got a ratio of 2%/hour draining. I have read this is more or less under the normal parameters.
After doing all of this I'm still not happy with the performance. Usually, my mobile gets under 20% by the end of the day with the screen on in a range between 1h30m and 2h. If I remember well at the very begging (when I bought my phone), I was getting my phone at 20% by the end of the day but having the screen on for 4h or more. After buying a new battery, I was expecting to return to that situation.
Do you have any hint? As for example a better way to calibrate? Factory reset may help? Should I check a specific wakelock?
Thank you very much in advance!
I forgot to mention that when I let it charging over night, my s3 does not always charge until 100. Sometimes it's until 98 or 95. I don't know if this helps you guys as a hint but I want to provide as much information as possible.
Thanks

Thanks!, I will check. But so far I have briefly seen it looks like there is not a specific solution more than disabling gNow and some other things. Maybe a good option is to downgrade or using a custom rom in which there aren't these problem.
its same to me.
aftet update 4.2 to 4.3.

Hi, look for XDA-forum "Better Battery Stats", there is an excellent tool to analyse battery drain and the community in this thread provides very good support.

Thanks!. I have been using Wakelock detector but I will try with this one. I was wondering if using this kind of applications for checking the wakelocks may provoke some battery drain itself. I mean, should it be used just for analyzing when you experience a battery issue? or should they be permanently installed no matter whether you have battery problems or not?

Hi, Better Battery Stats is using an already existing process of Android to obtain it's information, therefore the influence of the app itself on battery drain should be negligable.

Thanks for the info!. I have not seen anything special in the partial wakelocks. In the kernel wakelocks, it is difficult to distinguish whether one entry is specially problematic or not. After what I have read so far it may be the mix of social apps I have now installed:
- Whatsapp
- Twitter
- Messenger (FB messenger)
- Line
I guess maybe I have too many of them reason why the battery is draining more than normally when the screen is off

Which firmware you are using. .Sometimes it's the problem with the firmware. .For example GML2 and ML4 version firmware has a pretty bad battery drain. ..

mk6 is fine with the battery...so firstly install an app called better battery stats search for it...install it and let the phone to be in standby mode for 4-5 hours..and then see in partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks..and post those screenshots on bbs thread...someone will surely help you..
sometimes changing kernel could solve the problem..boeffla is the one i am satisfied with..and agni kernel is also one of the better kernels..:good:

Sorry for the delay to answer, I've been busy. Here I post the images of the battery stats. Sorry, they are not what you told me to be having them 5 hours quiet (that's difficult for me). However I can tell you that the 40minutes of screen on where just chatting on whatsapp or checking emails; no angry birds or need for speeds hehe... Are these images ok to be posted on the thread you told me? Thanks in advance!
I had a poor battery perfomance after upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 until I've disabled fast dormancy. It seems that in v4.3 is enabled, and if your carrier doesn't support it, it will eat your battery. Donwload free from market "fast dormancy togle" by Siyah, and that's it

I have just rooted the phone and disable the fd. I hope this works!. Thank you very much for the info. However, now that I have it rooted, do you suggest to install a custom rom for getting a better performance? if so, which? there is a good one with 4.4 and multi-view?.
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing allblacksback mod it makes the whole system dark and saves battery on display and also I recommend disabling Google play services but this means there will be no push services but it saves a lot of ? ? ? ?

After giving a try to the idea of disconnecting the fast dormancy here I give you some reports on the battery consumption. I don't know why but statistics are wrong from the point of view of the duration (3 days).. since I disconnected it just 10 hours ago. I think its consumption is still huge. I hope you can give me a hint on it. Thanks!
Ive installed smartdroid. Battery perfomance seems quite better now! What do you think from the screens? However.. i find the screen too much consuming.... ive seen people managing 5 hours of screen in a day. Why i am not? May it be battery or configuration?
Thanks!
Do you have any hint on this? Ive seen that with the screen off the consumption is really good. However, with the screen on a doing normal stuff: chroming, feedlying or whatsapping it goes to a 20-25%/h.
