I have searched the forum for an answer and can not find it anywhere so please bare with me if it has been answered previously, it's not easily found.
I have a rooted MyTouch running Cyanogen 4.0.4. I could have sworn in his previous releases, there was an option in the Dev Tools to keep the screen awake while it was plugged in to either USB or charging. Was I imagining this? If not, can someone please tell me where to do this because for the life of me, I can not find it again!
Thanks in advance!
Download Locale from the Android market. It's free and you'll be blown away by the features and ease of use. And it does exactly what you're asking. I don't know if this feature was in previous versions of Cyan's mods but I don't know who wouldn't love Locale!
*Personal tip for ya too, if you d/l locale and use it's other features, use the wifi positioning, not the GPS. The GPS positioning kills my phones battery because it checks your position every 10 minutes with GPS. Wifi is alot less power heavy on the battery. Go get the app and use it, then read my tip again...it'll make alot more sense!*
~*Apollo*~
*Locale, so you know, is location based profiles for sound, brightness, connections like wifi/bluetooth, vibrate, and ringer profiles, and also has power profiles for charging, or when the battery is below 20%, etc.*
yes there is an option. i am using it. it isnt in dev tools. it is in development option in your settings. the same place where you go to turn on usb debugging.
Sorry Slightly off topic but I was wondering if anyone knows of an app to turn the Screen off during a phone call?? I thought The app was "Spare parts" but it wasn't
Any ideas?
Thanks NguyenHuu! I knew I had seen it before and it was driving me nuts not being able to find it! Thanks again!!
Hey guys,
Just updated to the x10 after my samsung galaxy died on me, so far i am rather happy - except for the lack of root, but that will come.
I have noticed many complaints on the forum about battery life, and have experienced the same thing myself. From my experience, i think this looks like the same issue that was faced on a leak of 1.6 for the galaxy - it was referred to as the "No Sleep Bug".
TBH, the name says it all - for some reason, in many builds of android 1.6, phones were not sleeping correctly. There are many theories as to why, from cpu not being allowed to sleep, to permanent communication with google servers.
Despite all these different theories, one thing seemed to fix the problem - turning off all location services. Some people argue that a different carrier build, turning off just 'share with google' under location, turning off just AGPS etc. would fix it, but from my experience, the only real way to fix the issue was to turn off all GPS usage unless you need it. The once you have used it, reboot your phone.
This fix obviously sucks, and a new fix has recently been released by a veritable android-demigod around the Galaxy.
HERE IS A THREAD ABOUT NO SLEEP ON i7500 GALAXY;
(ok, some stupid rule says i can't post links - can a mod help me out?)
HERE IS THE FIX FOR THAT PARTICULAR BUG;
(ok, some stupid rule says i can't post links - can a mod help me out?)
LINKS ARE IN POST #5 - THANKS TO ONDOTEAM (would still be nice to get them in this original post though)
Now, from my experience, no sleep behave exactly the same way on the x10 as it does on the Galaxy;
1) I turn of all location services, and my battery life at least doubles.
2) After said turning off of services, 'spare parts' no longer says 100% running time under battery usage - in fact it can be as low as 10%.
These two factors are identical to my experience with Galaxy. SO; is there any way drakaz's fix can be applied to our X10's? It seems to me that the files he mods are standard Android system files, not sony/samsung specific.
Now i am no developer, so i dont know it this is possible - the first question that comes to mind for me is "do we need root access, or can this be done through developer tools using the android SDK?"
Can anyone help shed anymore light on this?
Seems to work for me. I disabled all location services. Spare Parts went down from 100% to 7.6%.
I'll just have to enable GPS when I need to use it..
Awesome! Glad to hear it has helped.
Let's keep testing this guys - if it does show up to be a big cause, then perhaps the devs around this place can help is figure out a patch for Drakas' mod to make it work with our x10's!

No sleep is easy to fix, took me a while to figure it...
Turn your screen brightness from manual to auto, spare parts will now start showing proper running stats, no more 100% running.
The screen is a little dark in auto but it will cure the 100% running.
GPS and location services etc make no difference to my X10i, I am running the 1.6 version unbranded UK handset, the only thing to stop mine running 100% is to put the screen on Auto.

My phone came out of the box with auto-brightness and i never changed that option, yet i still had no sleep.
Drakaz has done some fairly deep digging and is next to certain that it is an artefact of the geolocation bug discussed in the thread in which the problem was fixed.

Although I'd half assumed that they were referring to the total "up-time" figure which you can see at the bottom of the "about phone"; "Status" screen.. But perhaps not.?
Spare Parts is a standalone Program ...
(i don't know for sure if it is in the market or downloadable as .apk from somewhere here in the forum ...)

Spare parts is indeed available from the market - it is a much more powerful tool for indicating battery usage than the regular android methods. The galaxy stared on 1.5 which had NO indicator of battery usage statistics at all, so we all learned about spare parts very fast.
Perhaps that is why no x10 users have realised about the potential no sleep bug; because so far only the android usage indicators have been used?...
Anyway, hopefully this can help us all understand the way our phones are working better together

14% it's mine value for running time, not 100%. By the way thats 30 minutes of 210 in total :S
I'm also experiencing "No sleep bug" after i used GPS. I use Battery Graph to plot my power consumption and after I use GPS, I can clearly see that power consumption is high even if i turn the phone in plane mode.
In addition SE widget, used to turn on/off GPS, seems to not work very well for me. So, to fix the bug, i manually disable GPS in parameter menu and restart my phone. After that power consumption is hardly null (20% in 8h with MP3 on almost all the time).

Do you have 3G always on?
My phone has no trouble sleeping.
Gps hasn't really been an issue but I keep it off when not needed.
Here's my solid settings:
1) No auto sync
2) No moxier
3) Gps off
4) Restart after using wireless
As long as it's like this my phone lasts 2 days easily

I have been playing with mine for a month to work out what caused mine to not go into sleep, I keep GPS wifi etc on 24/7 but in spare parts I was running 100%, after numerous reinstalls and removing everything i chanced on turning on auto screen brightness, now when i unplug my x10 the running sits at the correct level.
No Geolocation bug here
I have this problem with 100% on and off. Sometimes when I check its under control (~10%), other times its at 100%. I have GPS off, no WiFi, auto brightness... don't know why it sometimes just gets stuck at 100% :/
I found a program called Nobars in the market. What it does is monitor cell reception and turn the radio off when you have no signal. There is an option to keep WiFi active when it puts it into airplane mode.
I have confirmed that it works as it should by taking it out of airplane mode several times. Since installing it cell usage of the battery has not budged.
I know this can be done manually but this is an automatic option that constantly monitors.
Nice find

Does this need root?
Cause it doesnt seem to work on mine (note rooted yet)
I dont see any notification as the settings suggest..
Its not working for me neither.
Mine is unrooted too.
Do we need root?
mine is rooted and it doesnt work : still have the "veille gsm" process sucking battery (A500 french)
I am rooted, it doesn't work for me either.
Does Airplane Mode Work?
Has anyone seen any positive effect of keeping the tablet in airplane mode and just turning WiFi on/off as you need it?
This app does not need root. While it was working great for me initially it now seems to have stopped working. I am going to play with it a little today.
And I definitely see a difference running in airplane mode.
There is another app I run on my droid x that shuts down everything at night. Going to see if that works on Honeycomb.
for anyone that it is not working for, you can turn on airplane mode manually and then re-enable wifi

You can do this, but have not seen any adjustments to the battery use at all. It still keeps draining for the cell standby.

Airplane mode does not fix the Cell Standby drain.
I have seen this topic discussed in the Androidtablets forum under the Acer specific thread. (I still can't post links but it's exhaustively been discussed in that thread).
Unfortunately, the a500 was designed exactly the same as the a501 (which will be the 3G enabled Acer tablet eventually).
The bottom line is, this probably won't ever be fixed. Renaming phone.apk and telephonyProvider.apk does fix the issue - but it also bricks your tablet.
For my Droid X, I use a widget called "Dazzle!" which gives me control over the Cell Radio - even on my Droid, I can disable Cell and not have a Cell Standby drain. Unfortunately, this widget does not appear in the market for the Acer...
I think we've gotta wait for a crafty developer for a workaround, or wait for some custom ROM's... Acer doesn't seem to have any plans for a software update for this.

All we need is a kernel that disables the ril. DJ_Steve did it for the Streak 7.
I have a help-ticket out at Acer about this issues, which has already surpassed Level 2 Tech support. It's been a while since my last response (which told me to send the unit in for faulty parts, haha). We'll see what Level 3 has to say. So far they've only sent form-letters back.
I have a feeling our developer community will have this issue solved well before acer even acknowledges it.

Which leaves us users who don't want to go the mod/root route in deep doo doo.
I completely agree.
I finally decided not to root my Droid X for the gingerbread update. But the tablet, I have to admit, I might have to actually Root to fix the issues.
I hope Acer creates a situation where Rooting isn't necessary. But, it looks doubtful. I'd rather root and gain 4+ hours of battery, than not root and gain nothing.

How is your battery life before and after? And, renaming them does nothing unless you reset the Iconia.
What I don't understand is just what kind of reset does this. There's a lot of chatter here but to me a hard reset always meant a complete wipe of the device back to factory default state. Apparently even a "soft reset", i.e., just rebooting will also bork the Iconia so just be careful.
Am I on to something here?
Hi guys, I am a noob here so please dun flame me
I actually installed minimalist text onto my A500. I tried to customize my widget,
and when I went into the part where I can customize the activity of clicking my widget, I discovered that the list consist of mobile network settings (It actually consist of the full list of mobile networking settings)
Out of curiosity, I selected the mobile data network setting as my widgets default action. When I went into the setting, the "Data Enabled: Enable data access over Mobile Network" is actually being checked. I had unchecked it, and now my "cell standby" in my battery use has stopped.
Maybe I got it wrong or its just coincidence, but I thought maybe someone else can try it and see whether is it really workable?
I am keeping a look out on the battery statistics; hopefully it really works.

Wow! I just went into my Beautiful Weather settings and under the "Advanced Panel" you can specify an action for clicking on the time (or weather). When this is done, it provides a large list of action - this list, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't show up anywhere.
Anyway, Mobile Data was checked (yes or on) so I cleared the list (resulting in mobile data being UNCHECKED) and rebooted. Mobile data remained unchecked so I'll watch for a while and report results later.

Yeah the list didnt show up anywhere unless we went to customise widget setups like what we did. Lets see how things goes!
And it seems as though the mobile network settings etc is hidden due to the fact that our A500 is wifi only?

Greetings, everyone!
I'm posting this thread because I've found out that battery drain on 2.3.4 when the screen is off might have something to do with the phone being AWAKE most of the time.
My Atrix is ATT version, using Alien #3 (obsoleted, I know that, but the drain happens among all 2.3.4 builds) and stock kernel. On Android 2.2, my battery used to be much more long-lasting, and in the "Battery Use" panel, "Phone Idle" used to consume much less power than it does now.
Then I downloaded "BetterBatteryStats" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809. From its readouts I find that the time when phone is awake may be 2 times as long as the time when the screen is on.
I looked into some details in "Partial wakelocks" in the app, and the "AlarmManager" seems to be keeping the phone awake all the time. I know that AlarmManager is a system service designed as a timer for all the apps, but which app would use this service to keep the phone awake all the time, which is conspicuously not necessary??
I have no idea on it, and is in need of your help. It would be very kind of you to post your idea on this issue here!
Try looking here, there's a small discussion about it already. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243577 hope that helps you some.

Hi guys,
Please be patient with me, if this method is already well known, but as I neither found it here nor at one of my preferred german forums, I'll post it:
Since I updated from Honeycomb to ICS I have been extremely disappointed about the battery drain. My transformer never got to deep sleep, etc. YES, I KNOW there are several threads about this, talking about cpuspy, autoflightmode and so on, BUT for sure in my case and also for many many others the deep sleep problem hasn't to do anything with wlan...
So I tried several custom roms (actually I'm running Revolver 4) because I knew from the past, when Honeycomb itself has had this annoying problem, Revolver did it for me.
Well, Revolver 4 didn't...
So I did the following, please read carefully and don't only check IF this value is set at your devices and discard:
Go to developer settings (I'm german, may be my description doesn't match exactly) . There should be a point "display always on" or equal. The checkmark is NOT checked, when first installed stock or Revolver BUT for some reason I don't know, the transformer doesn't recognizy it's empty state. This is why it never sleeps and always wakes on mouse movement, etc. So you have to do the following easy steps: Check the checkmark (in words: ENABLE display always on) and directly after that (no need to switch to homescreen first) DISABLE it again.
This should solve the annoying problem with deep sleep and battery drain.
You can test it by turning off your display, wait several seconds, maybe up to a minute, and try keypress or mouse movement. You may NOT have the cable plugged in, it only works if on battery usage. The trasformer now should not wake up and after refreshing cpuspy stats you should see some seconds more deep sleep.
I hope this has helped someone as I for myself spent hours with autoflightmode and so on until I found out this simple and a bit strange trick.

This explains why I never had this problem but other people say they did. The first thing I did after I upgraded was go into the settings and played around with all these settings to make sure everything was what I wanted. So, without knowing it, I solved a problem before it even became a problem.
Good job in noticing this!

I discovered this by pure chance. After I noticed it I installed several times fresh stock, fresh Revolver, fresh Revolution HD. In all cases it has been the thing with the display setting. So I thought it to be worth to tell you here.
I didn't inform ASUS or some of the great developers of custom roms here, because I also can't believe it to be that easy. I know from OLD programming languages, that you have to declare a boolean in a function to be true or false state, otherwise it will be ignored, but I hardly believe Java / Android would have such old problems. So I just hope my trick will work until someone verifies this to be the original problem or will supply us with a better workaround.

I think he's talking about this,

2/Developer Options
3/Stay Awake option
4/If this option is unticked then tick it
5/Now untick the option immediately
6/Return Home
7/Test it.
Anyway this worked for me. Thanks OP
This doesn't seem to have worked on mine. I might try flashing a different rom.
Also doesn't seem to work for me.
Tried the OP's suggestion, then I had my tablet turned off. Before turning off the tab battery was at about 83% and the keyboard battery was at about 30%.
Boot up tablet and now tablet battery is at 94% and keyboard battery is at 3%.
Seems the tablet was being charged while it was off. This has never happened before. Running ARHD Rom.

Hey folks,
I'm sorry if it doesn't work for all, but when talking about "turning off" and "rebooting" it would be interesting to know what exactly you mean.
Do you really turn off and reboot the next day? I for myself use to short press power button, this isn't really "turning off" the tablet. It sets the tablet in deep sleep mode after about 30 seconds (so you could easily resume your work by just a finger stroke during the first seconds when the screen gets dark, but if you don't do so, it will fall asleep).
The keydock of course loads the tablet while "turned off" (same as while awake) if its capacity is more than 3%, that's absolutely normal behaviour, so if someone didn't see this before it is CAUSED by the bug: Of course if there is just 216mhz mode with higher power consumption over night than capacity, it won't look like something has been loaded at all.
I then short press the power button (i. e. the next morning) again and the tablet wakes up.
So I really wonder why someone (apart from those who have the draining bug) should really restart the tablet.
BTW: Yes, I definately mean the point "stay awake" which here in germany is described as "display will never fall asleep while loading". I think the problem is the following: This setting is visually set to "not active/disabled" while it is internally set as "true". So if one doesn't touch this after a fresh ICS installation, every time we are docked, the tablet "thinks": Okay, I get loaded (by dock), therefor I just darken the screen but don't really turn it off, and while screen is on I cannot fall into deep sleep and have to stay at 216 mhz all the time"
If then the user itself enables and disables the checkmark, it is internally set as false and everything works fine (at least for me).
Only thing I still dislike: While plugged, my tablet will stay in 216mhz mode all night long. I don't know why but this doesn't matter too much for me, as the power it gets while plugged is much more than the consumption it uses to stay at 216 mhz so my tablet is although fully loaded during some hours. As I told you in my first post, you cannot test this (neither touchpad awake nor deep sleep mode) while plugged. You need to test this while on battery usage.

How did you discover this fix? Also, have contacted Asus about this? They may not know yet....

I had to do the same thing to get the touch sounds working right after the OTA upgrade to ICS. Interesting - and good catch!
Dear OP
Wasn't meant to knock you in any way, it seems your method is working for many people.
When I say "turning off" I mean shutting it down completely, rather than putting it in standby.
I was under the impression that when the tablet is completely shut down no battery should be draining from the dock.....

If your TF still drains while the tablet is completely shut down, then you have a hardware problem.
