!!!!Battery Saver Fix?

I'm running Beta 3 Rom rooted ROM. I accidentally hit fix permissions in ROM Manager app and now my battery is seriously lasting about 7 hours longer with the same usage and no tinkering. Also I'm getting less forced closes overall. Not sure why ... and I'm not sure if doing this is very dangerous and leaves me vulnerable going forward. Anyone know if this makes any sense? What does fix permissions do in Rom Manager? Is this a fluke? Try at your own risk ... I'm just not sure. If anyone knows of a possible explanation or is brave enough to try it ****AT POTENTIALLY GREAT RISK *** post your results here. BE CAREFUL ... BE CAREFUL ... BE CAREFUL.

Im trying it .. we see what happens.

How much total battery life were you getting before and after the fix?
I'm running attn1's rom and I get excellent battery life, like literally 1.5-2 full days of average use before it goes down to 0.

I tried it too... there were tons of permissions to fix! Will report back in a couple days

Can you reverse this if you wanted to?

i dont think you can reverse it.
i would reccomend a nandroid backup before you do this.

Quick question, if I needed to wipe to restore settings from a nandroid backup. Would I get everything as it previously was, latest rom installed, with all my apps?

I believe nandroid is a full backup, almost like an image. So if you needed to recover it it should restore your phone to how it was when you ran nandroid.

When you restore a nandroid backup everything returns to exactly how it was when you did the backup, I.e.homescreen, unread texts, notifications, settings apps and all.

Which Rom manager did you use? I got one from the market and installed it. When I attempted to fix permissions, it did nothing. BTW my Aria is rooted and has sideload capabilities. Thanks.

assuming this does work anyone have a theory on why?

Quick question guys. How long does your phone take to fully charge? I've had my phone today from 8am to 7pm
Plugged it in and after being plugged in for about an hour and fourty min. It says it is at 100% but the light is still red. I did repair permissions and rebooted I'll see if it helps tomorrow.

How do you guys do the fix permissions thing? I have the liberated Rom and my battery only last like 7 hours
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

you have to use Rom Manager, download it from the market. you have to have clockwork recovery installed also. Now 7 hours for battery life, is that under heavy, moderate or light use? if thats under heavy use thats not bad at all. also depends on what widgets your using and how your phone syncs, updates weather etc. theres alot you can do to optimize battery life without the permission fix, if it even works?.

it depends on if im using my phone while its charging, it can take anywhere from 1-3 hours, or more if it gets hot and stops charging. and what percent did you start charging your phone at? from like 15% to a full charge without using my phone, itll take approximately about an hour and a half

It was 15% and it took ~2 hours to reach 100% and turn the led green. so i basically got 11 hours with medium heavy use which is pretty good.

General Battery tips.
Remember you are running a lithium ion battery, that means it is important to get a full charge on the first charge, and also charge it as often as possible. Letting it often get to the critical state can have long term negative effects on battery life. Such is the limit of our battery tech.
Optimize how many apps you have running, use advanced task killer etc. I also heavily recommend that you change how often your phone looks for updates, facebook notifications etc.
Turn gps on only when you need it.
Ditto for wireless.
I let my phone auto the brightness of the screen.
I generally get 2-3 days battery life, I talk for approx 1 hr a day. I watch videos/ play emulators for 1hr a day and I frequently text, update calendar information, and setup checklists.
As far as permissions go, chances are if you declined on many of them, some of your apps can no longer check for updates etc. So you are suddenly getting the battery life I get by making sure my apps are always dead unless I need them.
Also remember, many apps turn on automatically when you restart your phone, so run the app killer when you boot.
Good luck.

Android System using 55% of battery?

I had a Evo before and the Android System used maybe 15% of the battery (as seen in the battery stats section of the settings.) Now I have an Evo with far worse battery life, and it says that 55% of the juice is being used by Android System? Anyone know why, or how to fix it? These are essentially stock Evos, no rooting or such. Thanks.

Mine says 30% right now but that's with me playing on it for a while tonight. Try a battery pull, or reset it.

Click on it and see how many apps "android system" contains. Also if you havent made any phone calls or used 3rd party apps to much "android system" will occupy most of the battery.

Ok, did some research and found that people have been having issues with version 1 of the HTCfacebook app keeping the phone awake all the time and killing the battery. Seems.it.can not he deleted on non-rooted phones, but I did force close it and the drain on the battery seems to have slowed, and the system is down to 30% battery usage. now, does anyone know how I might delete this app without root? (this is the app which comes preinstalled and runs all the time in the background, not the one downloaded from the market.)

Did you make sure it's not set for auto sync using the HTCfacebook app?

You should be able to update it to the newer version that fixed that issue. No need to delete.

How does one update the preinstalled version? Thx.

I re-read one of your posts and noticed that its the htc facebook that's giving you the problem.
You should be able to download facebook for android (ver. 1.3.2 I believe) on the market and that should become your default facebook app and solve your issue.

Thanks lovethyEVO, I have done that but the default app keeps running in the background

Wonder if you went to settings, applications, and found the bad fb. App. Then hit clear defaults. Now set the upgraded version as default. Idk. It might work

Was going to suggest an autostarts type of app, since you can't uninstall it unless your rooted, but it looks like you have to be rooted on autostarts also. You can maybe try to find one that doesn't need root, or an autokill type of app. You can't uninstall it, but maybe you can keep it under control.

Thanks all. Well, I spent about 2 hours rooting from 2.2 today, and now I am running Fresh, which seems to have far superior battery life. Thanks for all of your ideas. (rooting the Hero was way, way easier)

System Process gone crazy! Depleted battery

I used my phone for a 10 minute phonecall this morning, I did a little bit of wireless tethering to download some ppt files for my mba class on my laptop, and then I just did some basic surfing on the phone and using the xda app.
My battery level was at 80 at about 12:15 pm. I left for a little bit, leaving the phone where it was, and when I got back around 1:30ish, I looked at the phone and the battery level was 70. That's very uncommon and I was really surprised that it had dropped more than 1% or so in such a short time. And within a few seconds my phone just rebooted by itself. And when it came back up, it was running VERY VERY sluggish, and I opened up system panel, and my CPU consumption was at 90% or above. I had to reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache, now the phone is running like normal.
I looked at my system panel monitoring data which I had running, and I'm posting the screenshots of the historical data.
It seems something suddenly happened to the system. I can't figure out what it is. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Check the logcat.
If you see a message saying something like "Can't read CPU frequency linked list - next isn't in the list" or something like that repeating endlessly as an error, and you happen to use iR's kernel, then it makes 2 of us and you can show him the logcat to debug.
I wanted to debug it, but I don't seem to find any time.

I'm using wild monks kernel that's listed in my signature. How does one do a log cat anyway?

Wildmonks' kernels are based on iR's source, if I'm not mistaken.

correct.
I see the battery drop from 50% to 0....did you change anything with the battery calibration app?
I set my battery health to 100% from 94% and my phone switched off at ~25%. Try wiping battery stats.

Happening to me too. If you click on System you'll see it's really the suspend process. Typically on my N1 there is nothing in the log.
See here for further discussion: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126, "suspend" process runs continually in background at ~40% CPU on HTC EVO 4G

I had this problem too.after I installed look out on my phone, I notice that my phones battery was dropping significantly fast. I thought it was the look out app that drain the battery since it's a security app and should be running constantly. But it's not though cuz I installed the app on my wifes g2 too and hers is fine. Hers is stock btw and mine is running cm6.1. But after 2 days and few time rebooting it, it's fine and normal now.
I usually make it through one heavy using day, but when the problem exist it can barely make through half a day. I start my day at 8 and stop at 6

Anybody come up with anything on this yet??

I can confirm this issue happens with a whole bunch of iR's and WM's kernels. On the other hand, never happened on stock Enomther's kernel.

You can use OS monitor to see logcat or even dmesg log for battery stuff too. And you can use that app to export both logs to memory card whenever you want. I do that all the time to analyze my log from a computer when testing the battery calibrator app when developing new one.
No clue why that CPU is happening though. I, too, purchased system panel and It's by far the best app on my phone.

I had this once. It was a corrupt photo on my SD card. I formatted it, restored some files, and it never happened again.
Unless you really go through all your logs line by line I don't think you can figure this out. This includes both logcat and dmesg.

com.android.phone batery drain

I have read little about this issue . Instead of renaming or deleting files can we make auto booting script to kill this process so it will no longer looking for a mobile data ?
I have no android skills so am asking somebody who have it. Maybe there is other safe way to ged ride of that battery eating cell standby process
Proudy owner of iconia
Pawel
PS
I have try
(Without doing nothing 50% SCREEN AND WIFI TOGETHER 40 % after change a charg iconia to 100 % and wiape battery stats)
2g/3g mobile data switching best results cel standby takkes only 35% battery
Kill mobile data and prevent to run almost same thing
Cheat with airplne mode same thing
Try to download from market a.k.a batery saver for acer iconia without any results (thor mod with i have is based on assus transformer and market shows incompatible version?)

Dear Pavel,
this is a rather old issue, solved long time ago. You can just add the following lines in your build.prop file, located in the system folder:
ro.carrier=wifi-only
Thor's ROM features this tweak by default so you don't have to do anything - no cell standby.

Well thor rom have this line indeed. And when U check settings about tablet battery indeed isnot showing .
When U install any other app to show battery stats actually shows cell standby and phone idle. I using norton utilities but few other ones shows.
I left for a night tablet screen off, gps off , wi fi on, airplanemode on and after 6h i have 15 % drop down. 8 H on my iconia possible when everithing is off.
Ps
Writing this post 3% down... and tablet was bought on black friday is brand new is that normal ?

If your tablet is new did you fully charge and then discharge the battery to about where it auto shuts off.

There are a couple of things to mention. If you are running an over clocked processor, this will of course use more battery power. Especially with thors roms, because the last time I looked, depending on version, it installed over clocked to 1.5ghz. If you don't need that much, try setting it to 1.2 for example.
Apps that are always running and synching. Things like weather apps, mail, fb, etc. And... those lovely battery apps (a waste of time). And this also includes Norton, as it runs as a process. All of these use battery power.
And as briandigital said, let the battery get a few full changes. Usually takes them about a week to settle down.

I agree with U. Those apps using battery. For example weather widget 0.5 % or norton 0.5 % but still shows 60 + % cell standby or 2% phone idle. wifi over night 30 % with checking mail every 15 min.
Over Clocking got nothing to do with this (1000 on screen on 400 on off) system proces phone is running all the time draining battery.
I have thor 14.2 mod and to get 100 % shure I flash again kernel and dubble chec for wifi-only line.
Wipe battery stats and 10 min after cell stanby 30 % after 30 back to 63 %
Or 5 diffrent apps from market are wrong showing cell standby and system process phone working and draining battery or this all solutins are not really working. If it not showing on /settings /battery is not mean process is not working
Anybody know how to kill that process and prevent to run ?
so can write small script to kill it"

I'll ask you a silly question.
And only because I didn't see it stated anywhere (or I missed it)
Are you running an A500? or an A501?
3g USB Dongle?
Did you run any "update patches" concerning 3g Dongle support?
Reason I ask, is that I did some of the testing for the kernel version you are using. (3.9r3). And frankly, I haven't heard a lot of 500 users complain about "cell standby" with the 14Rom. In fact the combo should be giving you extremely good battery life.
You said it only shows cell standby when using some other different application? I might suggest the app is not telling the truth.
Typically, losing 10% overnight with wifi on, is pretty normal. During testing, I lost 8% on internal 3g, and about 10 or 11 with Wifi. FB and Mail not's set to 1hr intervals. WX at 3hrs.
The fact you still have the menu system for mobile networks (2g/3g) is very puzzling......

You should re-think about posting on Thor's site. He's typically pretty responsive. Unless it's a stupid question, or somebody's not nice.
The cell standby issue is an old one. It's because the 500 and 501 share the same hardware with the exception of internal 3g for the 501. And because of that, the share mostly the same OS code.
Thors rom, was based on the asus transformer. I don't run it, as it doesnt fully support internal 3g.
It's possible, that the process is still running, only hidden from view based on the images you supplied with the modified build.prop set to wifi-only.
In this case, I would ask you again, to post the issue on Thors FORUM under the Rom ver 14 topic. It may take him a day to answer, as he's working on ICS right now.
In the meantime, here at xda in the a500 forum, there are several "older" topics covering cell standby on the a500. One of the fixes at the time, was to "freeze" the telephoney.apk (get some error messages) then reboot.
Just do a search for cell standby, and you'll find them. I found them earlier today through Google (but can't remember where), so you should be able to do the same.

Well I did some research before I bother U and other solutions is to rename / remove phone.apk witch may solid brick my acer. Am wonder if I rename it and hard reset can I be able go to recovery ? And restore prev backup or this is gonna be a perm brick
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Well Pavil, those posts are a little old.
And, sometimes people call things a "brick" when they really don't know what a brick is
BEFORE I would rename any apps, I would try this, Install Titanium backup. Once installed, and root granted of course, Select the telephony apk, then do a "freeze" on it. Reboot and check things. You may want to freeze those other couple apk's if it doesn't fix it. You will probably get some error messages when you first freeze it, but ignore it, and reboot.
But BEFORE you go freezing things, do a recovery backup first This way, you can get back to where you were before freezing.
Then see how things go.
EDIT. Stop using battery apps designed for phones. They may run on Honeycomb, but if they were designed for devices that have a functioning radio, they know no better than to display an erronous stat.
But honestly, battery stats in android are somewhat misinterpreted.
Example. If your device used 10% power. And the stat says Display used 80%, It means that of that 10%, the display was responsible for 80% of it. Not 80% total battery power.
In the meantime, I see you didn't post on thors site? Ok, I'm on good terms with him, so I'll pose the question to him.

It appears from your screen shots that you don't have your wifi set to disconnect when your screen goes off. I could be mistaken, but if it's not, changing that will help battery life immensely

Yeah, no sense in messing things up. A pity I don't have an a500 or I'd test it myself.
You could try flashing one of the other roms, and see if the result is the same. For example Taboonay. I ran it for quite awhile with Thors 3.9r3 kernel. Or you can use the kernel it comes with.
Answer from Thor is that he's not aware of the cell.standby issue as nobody else has mentioned it, and all his stuff now is set up for ICS, so he doesn't have the time to check it out.
So, maybe you just have to live with it. Seems your battery life is ok, so I would just ignore it for now.

Did you wipe your battery stats from CWM before flashing?... And by the way thor's ROM has CPU clock set to 1.2 GHz by default.
p. s. Moscow Desire is right about apps made for phones.

Yeah, he had to back off the original cpu install recently due to a couple users couldn't flash at that speed (1.5). Not all CPU's are made equal.
(the real issue here, is the old "cell standby" issue that a500's had in the past)
But again, like drkalo affirms, you shouldn't be using battery apps that were designed for phones running android 2.3. I suspect (considering nobody else using Thors roms complain about cell standby), that the phone battery apps have this hard coded, and expect it to be there, so it displays a random percentage. Probably because it see's the phone apk's in the OS and naturally assumes it needs to display something.
Yes, the apps will mostly function on Honeycomb, but, are they really made for tablets? Probably not. (even if they say it does).

So what to use to check ral battery / process usage?
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium

Personally Pavil, I do not use one. Except what comes in the rom. There's really no need to get anything else. And frankly, I don't hear a lot about folks running 3rd party battery apps on their tablets. So I'm not going to be much help on suggesting one. I just know most of the task and battery apps, were designed for phones on android 2.3.
I gave up on things like battery apps, task killers, task monitors and the likes a long time ago. I learned to manage things on my own like most others do. There's no reason, once you learn a little about how android works, to add apps that take even more resources.
Bottom line, you can have every app in the world to monitor things, but what really matters, is what the "actual" battery life is.
For example, I can go 12hrs with normal usage, and still have 60%. This includes internet, sms, mail a few times, maybe some video for an hour. It depends.
Or, I can play angry birds 7 hrs straight before recharge. Not bad! And I run my processor at 1500ghz.
You can instal a cpu app, like cpumaster, and set profiles based on how much battery you have left. I typicaly set mine to start at 1500ghz, then do 2 extras to down the speed based on battery. When I use them, I can run for almost 3 days with normal usage. I do this when I know I will be camping with no electricity.
I have 4 of these profiles on my phone, and the longest I lasted, was almost 4 days before recharge.
Wish I could help you more.

[Q] Why is Android System consuming so much batter nowadays?

It didn't used to be like this. But now I get a pretty bad drain from Android System. It would be the second highest battery consumer, and would be using the CPU for quite a lot.
I'll post my battery screens and BBS stats soon. But for now, anyone else getting this issue? I'm on CM10.1 M1, tried different nightlies but still getting this f*cking problem. It's driving me crazy.

I have the exact same list of packages for Android System. Right now my phone's been on for an hour and it's at 21%, with a CPU total of 15 mins and it kept my phone awake for 4 minutes.
I dunno why it's like this all of a sudden. A week ago it was completely fine.
The thing is, I did clean re-flashes already and it still does that. I even wiped system. How do I properly reset my phone to get a clean slate? Should I RMA my phone if this issue doesn't go away?
Edit:
Just flashed MiNCO v6, and the drain seems to subside a little bit, but I need more time with my phone to judge better. Sigh, I'm missing CM's quick reply feature already!

It's not a hardware issue. The longer the phone is on, the lower % the Android System will be at (obviously lol) because the other stuff is averaging it out. You can also ry changing your kernel.
About the messaging quick reply, just replace MiNCO's mms.apk with CM's.
