Possible lidswitchd bug (r800x 2.3.3 stock)

After I had rooted my r800x I noticed my battery life was barely half of what is was or less. After grabbing BetterBatteryStatus I had found out that "lidswitchd" was using as much cpu as it could get. When I had rooted my phone I had used a different sdcard as one of the sets of instructions had recommended but not wanting to keep putting the back on I had disabled the safe sdcard option (settings->storage->Disable Safe SD card). Once I re-enabled this option my batter life went back to normal.
Not sure if its just limited to the r800x/stock2.3.3 or not so just wanted to let every know my findings, kind of curious if anyone had see this before.

Thanks for this advice. I noticed the same thing of lidswitchd using 94% of cpu. my phone was crawling man. which was causing me to loose my mind. I looked all over to find and answer and most said to factory reset. Your solution saved me from punching kittens and choking out puppies

Your signature is violating forum rules. also lagging my pc.
Also to OP.
The lidswitch has a counter that is always counting how many times the device has been slid open and closed. likely the error you see is attached to the counter process having a problem and cpu being increased because of this
very interesting

Seems to have fixed my drain. I noticed it started with 2.3.3. That's when we gained the option, correct?

Dude really? What are you using internet explorer on a Pentium II or something? Welcome to 2012 where you might want to upgrade your computer and use a better browser. My phone can handle this minor gif signature of mine. Anyway back to the topic, I used Titanium to uninstall "Anonymous usage stats" among other things. I wonder if that was the root of the problem.

IE.. LOL... if playing animated gif lags his computer.. I think it's better off for him to use a phone to browse.. trolololol...
anyway, mine running stock, rooted, and never had any battery drain. It's been pretty good so far.

Im on Stock, rooted, running 2.3.3, and I havent had any issues yet either. if im lightly using my phone, i can go almost 2 full days without charging, normal use, i can go about 25-28 hours before plugging in. Heavy use, maybe 12-15 hours. (these are just estimates, i havent actually timed it or anything, but now i might cause im kinda curious now.... lol)

The point is, you're still violating the rules. Regardless of whether it's slowing down his pc or not.
Don't start bashing another user just because he points out that YOU are breaking the rules.

yep. by lag i mean showing stuff that I shouldn't be seeing because your breaking rules
for your information i use an Asus G74SX. if you know what that is.

Fixed issue
Yes, I noticed this also after rooting my experia play 2.3.3 after re-enabling safe SD card its working great and my battery is back to normal!

Overheating

So following on from the issues with the Note this may seem like I am trolling but I am not.
I and my son have new S7 (not the Edge) on Vodafone. It is the best phone I have ever had both in terms of software and size. Fits my hand perfectly.
My son thinks the same however he is reporting that when the battery gets to about 30% the consumption/drain seems to get faster and the handset heats up. Typically around 1600 each day.
I don't get that as an issue. Occassionally the handset has heated up a bit but typically after heavy web use.
I have suggested he makes sure it is backing up and do a factory reset.
Any thoughts as to what may be causing the problem?

Without knowing what apps he's got running it's not possible to know what's causing the issue. On a side note, you should top off your battery whenever you can. Letting the battery drain very low and then charging back to 100% will decrease the performance of the battery. Is he playing Pokemon perhaps? Cheers!

Thanks Dyno.
AS far as I know he is either in class at university or in the library. He will be using wi-fi to look up technical references as well as social media. I don't think it is heavy use as he should be studying!! He wont be playing Pokemon.
I'll pass on your comments/advice on the battery.

Try downloading malwarebytes from playstore! I just installed a rogue apk file called UPSM manager v.3.5 from apkfiles.com. Phone started to heat up without any usage . Checked GSam and my temps were at 36-37 c! And also warm to touch so i scanned my device with malwarebytes. Removed the malware and now my phone is back to 31-34c .Cool to touch ! Another advice is to disable fast charging and charge it whenever you can just like navrig said. Don't let it drain to below 40%. Once or twice won't hurt in a week but every day is going to wear and tear the battery life cycle. Hope this helps!

Tab S2 8.0 keeps rebooting.

Hi all. I bought a tab s2 for my step-dad this past Christmas and it keep rebooting once reach like 15-20% battery. One point, it got stuck on Samsung logo. I had to hard reset. I ended up exchanging that tablet with Amazon. Now the exchange tablet is doing the exact same thing. What are the odds of this happening again? Do these suffer from random reboots? I don't want to exchange again and it happens for a third time.
The tablet went to 0% charge. And it didn't turn on since then. It's currently on Samsung logo. I have older samsung tablets. And this never happens.

I've been using my SM-T715 for the last 1.5 years and can't remember a single reboot irrespective of battery level.
For others to help, consider sharing your model number and firmware being used. :angel:

i know. i dont have the tablet with me at the moment. but i cant check that anyways. since the tablet wont reboot..

So I sent the tablet in for repair.. they swapped the motherboard.. two days later.. it does the same thing.. so bizarre.. once it reaches zero.. turns off it wont turn back on.. stays on samsung logo screen...

I don't think the board is the problem, more likely the battery is the culprit.

hm.. maybe.. its just weird it charges from 0 to 100% with no problem.. but then it doesnt boot. stays on samsung logo

Wth is going on with this tablet. I finally got it replaced by Samsung. New one is doing the exact same thing. Tablet is been used lightly. The tablet died to 0%. Now it doesn't want to turn on again. Crap is annoying.

Going to restore and install one app at a time and see if maybe it's an app that causing it. It has to be.

I have the same issue with S2 9.7". It randomly reboots with more chance the lower the battery is. Mostly zero chance above 50% then with around under 30% it happens way more often, especially when you install/update apps. So I guess the entire Tab S2 line has a battery issue, maybe a too low voltage over time, resulting in CPU/flash memory becoming instable of too low voltage. Mine was actually just 2 weeks old after showing the issue. Instead of swapping the battery, the repair service mostly will just swap the motherboard, which will not solve this issue.

Thought I had a fix - but I just got a reboot

Hey everyone. Just wanted to tell you i got the exact same problem in my T713. It's most certainly a spike on battery usage and the inability of the battery to keep up due to degradation, as this problem presents when I'm trying to do intensive tasks like watching videos on youtube or entering many apps in a short timespan.
My personal fix was to underclock the CPU maximum frequency using smartpack from 1804Mhz down to 1612Mhz. Obviously you need to root your device for this fix. Once i did this the rate of random reboots diminished substantially while minimally impacting performance. I know its not a perfect solution, but if you use your tablets just lightly, this might certainly work. Changing the CPU governor to some conservative mode might also do.
Hope this helps everyone.

Seems to work for me too on my T719. For the first time in ages I was able to use my tablet until it shut down itself because the battery was too low, usually it started rebooting at 35-40% of battery.
Thank you.

I just installed SmartPack-Kernel Manager (ROOT) from the playstore. Open the app and click the hamburger on the top left. Go to CPU and change the Maximum Frequency. Swipe over the Apply on boot.
I turned mine down to 1382 and I can make it to about 25% before it starts to reboot. We will see if that is good enough for the kids.

Thanks for sharing, will try this too!
I have had the tab sent back under waranty but the problem returned.
At first manifesting itself using a boating navigation (navionics) but this morning opening the play store also rebooted.
After recharging when making a backup AND trying above solution at 40% battery I could at least start navionics, which was hard before.
Edit:
Rebooted below 23%, changed cpu settings but forgot to reboot to apply.
Now at 11% and navigation still working.
Edit2:
For the first time in I think over a year I have been able to use the tablet for hours on end!

Thanks a lot, it did indeed help. I set the frequencies using Kernel Adiutor and for the first time in weeks I was able to use the tablet below 50% battery.

LG V20 has become very slow graphically, cannot watch video, use camera and more

so i have an unlocked LG V20 that i have been using for a while. sometime back the battery began to bloat am in Ghana so paid for one from US and a friend brought it to me since I was not getting one locally. before the new battery (ipossible 10800mAh) could reach me the phone started to slow down significantly (at this point i thought it was the spoiled battery that was causing it) so i stopped using it altogether. now i have the new battery which lasts very long, but the problem has not stopped, in fact it has become worse overtime. this is what happens. the phone will be on, calls, messages, notifications and everything comes but the display is EXCESSIVELY SLOW, like a PC with a small graphics memory, that been said i must also say this, the processing capacity is not affected but that does not make any difference. i can use the phone if i know where to touch on the screen but the display will come on or respond when it wants to (like it needs some pizza before it does ). I really need help. it cost me so much to get this phone and i cannot afford another one anytime soon so any help in any form is needed and will be much appreciated.
PS:
- there is no change when I power cycle
- there is no change when i take the sim card and or external memory out or put it in
- there is no change when i turn on/off the data, connect or disconnect WiFi
thank you

Based on the information you provided I'm guessing you are running stock, so try doing a factory reset

You may want to research possibly rooting and then running a custom kernel and rom. If that doesn't resolve your issues then you could possibly have a hardware problem

first you need get your phone rooted, then you can find the kernel match with your model and flash it with twrp =>link for kernel

this looks like thermal throttling to me. is the display or back of the phone hot when this occurs?

please help moto G5 plus has higher than normal cpu temps

Hello people of the xda forms recently one of my family members upgraded to android Oreo on there moto g5 plus yay but after that it went all down hill from there the phone when they are using it for basic things like browsing the web and watching YouTube it can easily hit 45 degrees Celsius in most of the CPU cores not making it very comfortable to hold also after the update the battery drains faster
This is my first post on the xda forms so sorry for any conveniences

There must be an app or something constantly running and draining battery, check the battery stats and it might give you a hint at what's up.
My guess is that whatever it is, backing up and doing a factory reset should solve your troubles. It might seem like a hassle but it usually is the best way of solving issues, especially after an upgrade.

She doesn't want to do a factory reset and could it be caused by the microSD card in the phone

Very unlikely. But that's easy to test, just remove the SD and check if it's getting better.
I also think a factory reset will be the most useful way.
