Hi Everyone,
Looking for some feedback from the forum.. please help.
I've always felt my phone ran very hot compared to other devices but I recently clocked it at 40 °C using GSAM.
I should note i've made some changes recently, including installing (and playing) Dungeon Hunters as well as Nova Launcher and a few homescreen widgets. I don't use a live wallpaper. Has anyone had their device run that hot ? I'm wondering if this is a software or hardware driven issue and if this warrant a service call (warranty/exchange).
help.. this phone is giving me sweaty ballz.

If your phone gets hot then this is an indication that your processor and/or GPU has to work pretty hard for some reason. It could be a background app that uses a lot of CPU power (had that once myself). Best way is to indicate what uses your cpu when your phone gets hot.
So install an App that will monitor your CPU and that will tell you what app uses your cpu to what extend.
You can use this App for example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmVvbHdyYWwub3Ntb25pdG9yIl0.
I also have the same issue. I visited to sc they changed my battery nd motherboard ( phone was also heating). But still same my cpu usage is only 5-18% but battery temp is 41c.

Try to install the app Greenify, that you can put the program that you don't close to hibernate. I was having this problem and after this solved. Just to remember that i did a defrag with anothet app too.
Any apk , or a name of apk, to show up in the left corner the temp ??

Hi. Yesterday I installed WidgetLocker and there's a huge battery drain. Phone was awake every time - also when screen is off. Here's a screenshot.

How can I fix this?
Thanks.
i have similar problems with the awake time but i can't seem to find the application responsible for it. How do you know that is widgetlocker(i dont have it install)?
you just installed it and the drainage happened or do you have some other application that keeps a history track of various applications battery usage?

I installed WidgetLocker and the battery life became horrible.
(You see that in the screenshot).
I have widgetlocker until now and it has not caused me any problems with the battery so far(if i'm gonna date it it's around the release of void.delta iirc) Did you try rebooting the phone after installing it?

Oh, I think I didn't.
I'll install WidgetLocker, reboot the phone and test.
Edit: Till now phone isn't awake every time, battery drain reduced.

I used it for over 3 days and did not have any problems with battery backup. Andy's ROM with Andy's kernel was what I was using at that time.
Installed two days ago. No battery drain.
Im attaching some pics so that u may get idea.

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.

The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)

The phones battery graph keeps going lower even when screen if off ??
Usually it would go in a straight line ow it just dips
It went from straight 100%- 58%
Is it normal or am i overreacting ??! As the screen was barely on all the time
Also i only use Edge not 3g and And edge is only activated by me when screen is on , otherwise its off
Apps which used battery
Partial Wavelocks
The AudioOut one is 12%
Other
Process
Rom: [ROM] [NEO/V] AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 [hotfix2] | Fast and Clean
Kernel: Provided one
Can anyone help ?
its normal drain
Something seems to keep the phone in awake state, won't let it sleep.
i use the same ROM with the provided (ICS beta) kernel, including all the hotfixes, just without the on-screen buttons. and i have no issue with battery dips/drains whatsoever
Never understood why you guys use these on screen buttons :/ like the phone didn't have buttons.. lol
Only makes the screen smaller and uglier
I Shall reflash again
And im getting rid of onscreen buttons i guess
It Kinda does get on my nerves ~_~
Still need to figure out whats causing it to be awake :/
Ill reflash tho

No point in wiping bat stat file. It's deleted/rewritten every time you disconnect charger from phone.
We use them hardware keys because we can simple

I can recommend this, if you want to have the Nexus live wallpaper
Not sure if it's been fixed yet, but in the version I used, touch interaction was odd. Instead if the usual Nexus thing, the animation just sped up like crazy, until all the thingies were gone off the screen :|

Now that's incredible
Now that's nearly hard to believe couse every live wallpaper i downloaded was soo slow even the nexus
Somehow this wallpaper is just amazing it's got the nexus look a likes and in 2d which is better and runs smoother :]
This is wicked!
Keep up the apps coming in M8 :] Djpry

Btw i'm new to this all :] :good:
thanks
This looks awesome giving it a try asap.
Recently I found some settings by which my phone xperia u became smoother and performance was enhanced ( quadrant score went beyond 3000 for first tym)
Go to developer options
1.Set background process limit from standard to 2
2.Enable gpu rendering
These settings do work
Just check ur benchmark scores before n after to confirm
Press thanks if this helped
It doesn't helped much but round 100 points more in Antutu
working. I never saw my Flipboard so fast like it is now. My Quadrant improve from 2400+ to 2900+. I think this works especially with simple apps like face, flipboard, etc.
While you may get better performance in particular apps, because of it closing down other apps so all have a bit more free ram. You do loose out on the multi tasking front, and when opening apps after each other the phone will have reload the app info.
I prefer having my most used apps still open and running. So that they open right away, rather than having to wait a second or two for the app to launch again.
But it depends how you use your phone I guess
Try again it will cross 3000
Forcing 2d acceleration makes your 2d quadrant score higher, that's all.

Besides it also enhances performance in applications ( quadrant being one of them)
