My brother and I both got Fascinates this month. Both are rooted, but only mine is upgraded to DJ05. We are both loving the phone except, both of us have a problem where the screen/phone will not wake up from sleep sometimes. It will just show a black screen, it even happened while talking on the phone today, the screen didn't wake when I got off the phone. I've done a few searches and on some other phones people suggested setting SetCP to at least one higher then the minimum when it's in screen off mode, but I just tried that and had the same issue 5 minutes later. With all the development going on, I'm hoping that someone may have found a fix for it. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? I apologize if there is another thread in the fascinate forum about this, I did a few searches, but didn't see anything.
Thanks,
Ryan
You could help yourself by stating what rom version and what specific kernel you are using. And if you are using a task killer and or power managment app.
good day.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. We are both rooted, but my brother is otherwise running stock. No task manager, just Setcpu. I upgraded to DJ05 and installed JTs Superclean w/non voodoo and rom. But I wouldn't think that'd be the problem considering he's running stock. Maybe it's setcpu? If so is their another comparable manager for battery life that someone might suggest, I can see if that fixes it?
Setcpu offers no benefit to devices using a stock kernel only good for over clocked kernels. If the problem at hand didn't start until installing setcpu, then you have your answer. I myself do not use any power management apps so I can't speak for them.
good day.
Did you by any chance install something that adjusts the brightness of your screen?
If your running Setcpu and your having problems waking up the phone, are you running a profile for the screen off? You can't run profiles on Sammy phones, they don't like it.
No, no brightness apps.
Yes, I was running a profile for screen off and stuff. That was the whole point of Setcpu, I thought, so you could reduce it when the battery started getting low and the phone wasn't being used. Thanks for the info, I uninstalled it. I guess that's the problem. Only time will tell though. Do you know of any other reputable apps that would be similar to Setcpu?
Why not try geeks last kernel? I believe it was uv and should help battery life if that's what you're going for.
I would, but people have had some issues with them from what I hear, besides he's no longer developing them or supporting them, so sooner or later I'd be changing anyway. Maybe I'll check out juice defender.
You can keep setcpu, just don't use any profiles lol and keep it on conservative

Does it actually do anything for you though to help save battery life without the profiles?
Just because he isn't deving for the sf doesnt mean that his kernels are worse than the stock one...I use adryn's 12/17 test 2 and get amazing battery life..14 hrs at like 60-65% but it's voodoo and you will prob not want that.
setcpu will change the ramp up/ramp down speed...more time at max when you need it more time at min when you dont...i don't think it will help nearly as much as proper kernel

Anyone else having issues with the phone shutting itself off at random intervals? It is happening on mine and I have to pull the battery in order to power it back on.
So far have rooted, installed su file browser, and system panel. Only other thing I have done is removed Amazon mp3.
Thanks in advanced, just want to know if I need to exchange my phone or not.

This happen to me yesterday 3 times after the phone's screen was off for more than 10 min
I uninstalled setcpu and it never happened again so far.
Ok maybe it is a setcpu setting that is defaulting wrong. Anyone with setcpu installed that is not experiencing this? If so, what are your settings?

Are you guys changing the scaling governor? From early reports, the Galaxy S phones can't take ondemand, you have to stick it to conservative.
You can "simulate" ondemand by changing freq step in Advanced to 100%.
Ya know. I did actually change it to ondemand seeing as that's what I always used on my G1. Gonna reinstall and see how we do. Will definitely report back. Thanks.
UPDATE: 1 hour in on 'conservative' and all is good.
I probably have to put a warning or something for Galaxy S for ondemand. It's probably a kernel flaw for that.
For now, it looks like conservative is 100% stable, haven't had reports of crashes on it.
Yeah, I'd say conservative is it. Thanks, bro.
Yes, before the reply about the conservative setting I had messed with it and set to that. Wanted to verify before posting, but as stated that appears that is the key. Thanks guys.
Loving this phone by the way.

I had SetCPU set to Conservative since I installed it. Yesterday it randomly powered off 6 times. I found this post and deleted SetCPU and am currently using Overclock widget. So far I haven't had it power off.
Has anyone else had this issue while having it set to conservative?
Yes! I changed my charger and it hasn't happened ever since.

i have also noticed that if i set a profile so that the cpu has a max of 400mhz while screen is off it will crash on me randomly. i have to keep it at at least 800mhz. It has just started doing this.
also does anybody know if it is dangerous to run in performance mode at a constant 1000mhz? it makes my phone super fast(obviously) but sounds dangerous making it run at maximum power constantly while the screen is on.
I've never used or installed SetCPU and my phone was shutting down by itself as well and had to do the battery pull to get it back on. I found it to be the "Power saving mode" in the display setting. Ever since I turned it off it has not shut down.
I also experienced this once when I try to install setcpu on my vibrant running bionix-v 1.2. Uninstalled it and it never happend again. =)

at least you guys are getting something. My phone shuts down 1-3 times a day. it is whether its rooted or not, customized rom or not. It just like to go to deep sleep really bad. Hopefully I can exchange it. But i just get my gps fixed, i dont know if i will get a new one with crappy gps.
I was wondering how I could extend that battery life on my DINC? Any suggestions and tips would be great.
Ah yes, the battery issue. One I am all too familiar with.
Easy:
For whatever reason our phones charge to 90% and stop there. To correct this, you can either charge while the phone is off or do what we call a bump charge. Bump charging involves charging the phone to "full" while its on (the light should be green) and then turning it off while still plugged in. The light will then change to orange again for 30+ minutes and then green again. You will then Really be fully charged.
Also make sure you have GPS and Bluetooth off when you aren't using them. This will help a ton.
There is an option in Settings - Wireless & networks - mobile networks - called "enable always on mobile data". Unchecking this will drastically help save while the phone is asleep on the 3g network. However, doing this will affect how often you receive updates to chats and sync items when the phone is sleeping. To me it isn't a big deal since if I'm not using the phone why should it be working, but everyone is different!
Finally, a rogue app might be nomming away at your battery. An app from the market called System Panel will monitor how much battery each app is eating. Its free initially but if you want it to monitor over time in the background it does cost. However it is definitely worth it since its a great app and useful for any android owner.
Intermediate (has cost):
Evo batteries fit in our phones! The fit is a little tight but it works just fine. Our stock batteries have 1300mah of capacity which is a bit on the low side. The evo battery has 1500, so it's an hour or so better. You can buy them cheap off ebay (OEM Evo Battery) for around $15.
Conversely, there is the official extended capacity battery for our incredibles with a massive 2150mah. The trade off is that it adds bulk to your phone and costs a lot (around $50). There is the third party seidio battery which adds even more capacity (3500) but adds even more bulk.
Advanced:
Are you rooted? There are kernels out there that are undervolted like Hydra kernel, adrynalyne's undervolted and kingklick's voltage scaling kernel. Everyone has differing experiences with them so there's not a solid "best" so to speak. You can flash these kernels using the clockworkmod recovery. This will all be nonsensical if you're not into the Modding scene.
Also if rooted, you can underclock the processor which, depending on the kernel, can help drastically save battery. You can set profiles to have the cpu work at a minimum speed while the screen is off. Kingklick doesn't advise using setcpu with his kernels and it straight up wont work with hydra's, but it can do wonders on any others.
--
Depending on your activity, you should expect 4-5 hours of 3g awake usage and around 5-6 if you're mostly on wifi using the stock battery. 3g can be a battery drain if you're in an are with inadequate service.
Hope this helps!

turning off gps doesn't matter all that much. GPS isn't called upon unless you have an app using it. I have mine on most of the day (for tasker profiles) and have no issue.
Use WiFi when available, its quicker than 3g and takes less battery.
download setCPU (from xda) and make a profile for screen off max/min = 400/245 or something like that.

isn't the system panel app like a task killer? and from what i've read task killers are pretty pointless with froyo......however i have noticed that my phone is constantly running with about 140mb of ram free, i don't know if this is usual or if something is wrong?? i just got my Dinc so i'm new to all the tweeks and tricks, i do have mine rooted though. i'm not that up on changing roms and kernals though so i'm just trying to find out what all i can do to help my battery without having to buy a bigger one. any help would be greatly appreciated!!
If you are rooted and aren't comfortable with flashing ROMs and kernels, look at setcpu that was mentioned before, and search for instructions to remove the stock apps that always startup on their own in the background. Unless you actually use them, then you can't really do that obviously. I don't have any times on how long it lasted before and how long it last now but I do know its improved. I have mine at a processor clock speed of 500mhz and I don't see much lag time unless I'm really running a lot of things. I'm on WiFi listening to Pandora and I'm not experiencing keyboard lag while typing this.

no...the max it'll run is 1.19 ghz. worst that will happen is a bootloop which can be fixed through nandroid.
Just increment a little at a time. I usually run mine at 1.075 ghz w/ on demand.

I use JuiceDefender on my Incredible and believe it or not it really works. It's turns off your data while the phone is on sleep mode so no battery is being drained. I get at least 5 hours extra battery life. You also get other features that come along with it so just give it a try It's free!

Yes system panel CAN be a task killer but I do not suggest using it as such. Instead, it does a great job monitoring how much CPU each app uses so you can take educated action.

1. If you use location based services and have GPS on, it will use the GPS module quite a bit. This is certainly a battery drain.
2. If you dont have any issues with always on mobile data then you must be in an area with good coverage. For me if its left on it drains my battery quite a bit because I'm in a flaky coverage area.
Everyone's phone is different though. Finding what works and what doesn't is the first step to perfection. I just installed the new skyraider sense and my battery life has been ultra fantastic. It works great for me, but I know others dont have that success.

I've seen a couple reports of "horrible" drain when pairing virtuous fusion with faux 123's gb sense kernel.
Running latest clockwork recovery.
Well, I recently flashed the rom (1.1.8) and kernel (LV .0.0.7) and experienced a 400% longer charging time, 65% to 15% drain in about 3-4 hours of moderate use with conservative power settings. If this isn't weird enough, the screen was drinking 92% of this power and the screen was off 80% of the time, auto about 10% and all the way down for about 10%. The battery continued to go down quickly while the phone was idle/screen off. 1 widget, no live wallpaper. No risky apps.
Anyway, I'm going to try to reflash a little less crackily (lol, I just upgraded to this beast from a mt3g w/ cm6!). Also, I'm gonna clear batt stats if it continues to be awful. I will update accordingly. Lastly, I never had time to get setcpu installed.
I just wanted to see if anyone else has a confirmed fix or at least experienced similar issues that remain unresolved.
Thanks button in advance, xda!
you'll get more hits if you were to post this in the Kernel thread and the ROM thread you are referring to.
Yeah, I'm working my way up to those 10 posts.
On faux .7 gb kernel on virtuous fusion I would get 22 hours with heavy usage..and by heavy usage I mean, 5 hrs on screen time, numerous bluetooth phone calls, heavy texting, and xda all day...so I didn't have any battery drain problem
Edit: oh and widgets on all but 2 screens

Have you tried the .8 bfs lv kernel? Using that in conjunction with juice defender I get around 20+"hours" of heavy use, and that's at 1.3ghz oc. I haven't used .7 so I can't chime in on that issue, but that combo had made vf the first sense rom and the only sense rom I've used since rooting this phone.
And btw thanks for doing a legit thread to boost your post count instead of trolling random threads.
Btw if you do go the .8 bfs route, don't forget to flash the .2 first time kernel (i cried the first time I forgot to flash that then forgot to delete pd15.img off my root.. Talk about looping)

@marseillesw
I expected similar battery life from a kernel everyone was raving about (and faux seems impressively knowledgeable). I noticed a couple of people were popping up experiencing "the worst battery drain" and "terrible battery life" with GB Sense .7 UV and VF S3 specifically. I read several suggestions that it needed "time to settle" or a good "battery refreshing". However, I think these people were experiencing the same phenomenon as I did and it was out of control.
@Joker
After reading a bit about BFS (I see why we abbreviate it), I think I will give it a shot. It seems like the perfect kernel for the super interactive video enhancements of Sense 3. It's so pretty I find it hard to go back to my hulu/netflix/grooveshark(untested) capable RoyalGinger rom... Sigh...
Yeah, I didn't want to troll and then post on thread. XDA is teeming with info. However, you see a lot of people asking the same questions over and over again because (much love, don't get me wrong) noobs don't use thread search and the major mod/kernel threads get to be a solid 300 pgs of light to really heavy reading.
How does juice defender's tweaking compare to SetCPU's? I thought it was more like a task killer so I never tried it.
--------------------------------------------------
Going in, I knew it was either an issue with my phone or the flash process.
The good news is, some tinkering solved it. I wiped data/cache/dalvik in recovery, reflashed Virtuous Fusion 118, then let it settle. With the included kernel, I got about 14 hrs of life with 4 hrs of XDA, some talk/text, some customization, power management, etc... all OCed to 1.4GHz on smartass in use, 800MHz conservative screen off & @ <15%.
Next, I wiped CACHE/DALVIK (thus, not erasing setCPU) and flash the UV .7 kernel. Booted, let it settle. Reupped on my setcpu schedules and let it fly. It's been going pretty hard for about 13 hours and it just dropped below 40% life. So, I expect a cool 24-25. Wow.
The other difference i noted was that VF turns "fast boot" on which I had to turn off to access hboot (and recovery) again. It's possible that a true reboot of the phone would have saved me the reflashing trouble, I never tried.
The first time I flashed, I flashed the new kernel without first booting the rom w/ original kernel, I didn't have SetCPU (or any on-boot CPU controls), and I never rebooted with fast boot = off.
My next order of business is to nackup my current shiz and see if I can recreate the battery vortex . If I can, I'll pinpoint which of my sloppy moves was the cause.
3Qs:
A) Is flashing Rom and New Kernel with no reboot between a no no?
2) Is Elixir a reliable, power friendly tool for me to be using for reports? Is there a standard utility? So far, it seems pretty dank.
3) Does it take a lot of work to switch governors? Should I not be switching to conservative whenever it's idle?
Last couple times I flashed vf when evil was releasing daily updates I flashed the kernels before first boot and saw no issues what so ever. Normally I do let I cycle and load all flashes though.
As for juice defender, I just use it to manage my data use. Use set cpu to manage the cpu. Use conservative or power saver scheduler in my 4 hour stretch when I don't use my phone at all. Usually lose 1% battery during that period, then use heavy for the rest of the day. I usually have 70 80% left when I get home
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah I think that most people have serious battery drain because they have a rogue app running somewhere in the background that's just eating up resources, so is good to have an app like juice defender or watchdog, that can help pinpoint and identify the culprit...but it sounds like you got a pretty good handle on it now bro..so happy flashing

There are a few different choices. Definitely get comfortable first with flashing ROMs. Use the guides here in the forum to teach yourself how to do it. After reading the guides, read them again. You do not want to end up bricking your phone.
A few I myself have tried are CM7, HomeBase and Aura. I use HomeBase as my daily driver. My battery life has been pretty good. I usually get around 36 hours with pretty heavy usage of streaming music and videos.

I would give HomeBase a spin, but just remember that the de-blurred Moto ROM's do have certain things missing just have to read about whats there and see if you can live without it. I personally use HomeBase 2 which is slightly de-blurred and it looks and feels like a vanilla ROM. Some blur is good. Definitely read through a few posts and guides in the Development section to get a handle of whats going on and then start trying things out. I don't know what recovery you have but I would suggest first going to this link and learn a little:

Then going to this link to get the latest recovery (it will save you some headaches):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
As for the battery thing, try calibrating. If that doesn't work, it could need a battery with it being a used phone.
I tried Homebase and Aura a couple days ago, and I went back to Alien#4. Couldn't put my finger on why I didn't like them. But you should try all the ROMs you think you might like and see what works best for you.
I get really good battery with light-medium use, and my phone is very smooth. So if it helps, here's my setup:
Alien#4
Faux's OC Kernel 2.0 (to 1.3GHz)
Undervolted (75, 75, 75, 75, 100, 100, 100)
SetCPU "Screen Off" Profile to clock down to 456000Max
The biggest battery killer by far with that setup is the screen. There's a mod in the development forums that can lower the brightness much more than the stock minimum, but I haven't bothered with it. I only use my phone in quick bursts most of the time; check an email, send a text, etc. so it's not that big a problem for me. I can go couple days without needing a charge.

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!
Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.
Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.
I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.
Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?
Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.
And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread.

I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

its a possible cause of sod if you had it installed.

Thanks for the reply.
I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.

I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...
Alrighty, let's hope it'll get figured out.

Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...
I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...
I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -
The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.
Will see how it goes....
I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.
Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...
I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....
