[Q] ICSbattery drain - Xperia Arc General

Hey guys, i'm using acronium ics 1.0 with stock kernel plus cwm. First night and the next morning it's like 50% battery overnight.
And the andriod system have them most! It usually goes to the display in GB. any potential issues here or how do i fix that?

Same problem here. I am using doom kernel v4.
Anyway try to use wifi or 2g if possible. The battery is awesome!

So the problem was caused by GSM data?
I'll try turn it off and see what happen.
Is this only acronium? or the ICS?

1/ Try to reset your phone after charge ...
2/ Remove some file in init.d if (1) isn't solution.
3/ Try another kernel

1) definitely not helping
2) don't know what to do
3) worth a try
from the other threads this problem could be caused by baseband .70, so maybe flash back to .64 is the cure. Not tested yet

I have arconium ICS 1.0 and stock kernel with CWM, the overnight drain is about 10% with everything on (Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, Wifi,etc)
What I did notice however is if you switch off Wifi the drain gets higher, try leaving on the Wifi and see if that helps.

I am using the official ICS Nordic rom and also had problems with the battery retaining the charge. Have changed the following and it seems to be ok now.
Go into settings/wifi and press the menu key
Go into advanced/Keep WIFI on during sleep and change settings to Only when plugged in.
Also try this
Go into settings/Developer Options Put a tick in Stay awake and then immediately Untick it. Do a restart and should be ok.
It's a long shot but it may just work for your ROM

I flash back to CM7 and happy now. Might wait and see for a while for another try for ICS.
I try the tips you guys provided (btw, thx!) and nothing changed. It's always power hungry plus GSM data slow and problematic. I can't even play funghi and temple run properly. On my drive back home the device just reboot itself, and all I did was using stock music player.

Try the APP "Green Power" from market, it turns off wifi automatically when not in use, plus lot other power saving features.
I too have the same experience previously. now this App helps me a lot.

Sorry to jump in but can you tell me where you found this, I have gone into settings wifi but cannat see it anywhere
If you have disabled GPS and Bluetooth read the following, if not do so and come back^^
1. Go into battery stats and look out for anomalies
2. let your phone run out of power and shut down by itself, if the drain does not change significantly after that.
3. think about your installed apps. chat apps like skype and facebook are evil battery eating bastards.
4. check out whether your modem fits your region
5. Reflash the kernel

how to know to best modem that feet my region please ? i have have tried many of them i all work fine but how to know the best one ?
I had sort of the same problem as well. I downloaded Android System Info and went in to tasks and killed com.seven.Z7.service, and that made it stop use my data transfer 100% of the time. Worth a shot? I think it's the SGS email client, that has been reported before as well. Weird cause I've got push email, but still...
Its definatly a wifi issue, i thought a full wipe AND and fresh rom flash would clear it - but no luck

Easy Fix... (For the SGS anyway)
Go to... Menu>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings.
Uncheck "Network Notification"
Then tap the menu button (to the left of the home button) and tap "advanced"
Select "Wi Fi sleep policy" and set it to "When screen turns off"
Your battery life will improve drastically. Just drain the battery fully, and give it a full charge.
Let me know if this helps you.

It still keeps scanning for networks whilst im connected to my home wifi.
I dont want the wifi to disconnect when my screen goes off, i download and dont want it.switching to my data allowance just because the screeb turned off.

You get no scanning for open networks so maybe you stop to scan networks while associated.
I think this is a problem with the modem.bin try to flash other one maybe JPY, JPU or JPM
Can you please check in wi-settings and see if it keeps scanning every 5 seconds when already connected to wifi.
... It may be normal behaviour, but.i doubt it.

Alliance 7.7

OK, so I'm a noob (to evo) and can't post on the dev thread for the Alliance 7.7 ROM so I'm going to throw this out here and hope for a response.
I tried RLS1 and didn't like it, there was some functions that irritated me so I went back to 7.7.
I like 7.7, I've got it stable, no sense reloads and I love the functionality.
However, my battery life is atrocious!!! I thought this was supposed to help save batt life??? I burned about 50% batt life in less than 3 hours in sleep mode!??
What did I do wrong??
I've been experimenting with Task Killer, Juice Defender and other supposedly power "saving" apps and settings but I haven't found the "holy grail" yet.
I'd really like someone to point me in the right direction if at all possible..Thanks!
Did you try calibrating your battery when you first flashed the rom?
Try downloading the battery calibration app by nema from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
What PRI do u have? If you go into settings and about phone (I'm not exactly sure if that's the correct path) it should tell you. If your running something newer than 1.77 some phones have a wake issue where it wont let the phone sleep with newer PRI's. Try downgrading to 1.77, the wake issue should then be gone.
You can get PRI 1.77 from here just make sure you backup your WiMax keys before you flash, you know just in case something goes wrong. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Maybe its one of the apps that your using that's not letting your phone sleep hence your battery drain. Spare parts on the market should show you if any apps are keeping your phone awake.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.spare_parts
Or your battery is going bad? I was having such horrible battery life with my Evo that after a while it just couldn't hold a charge anymore. I purchased a new one and all is well now.
Try an AOSP rom? AOSP roms tend to have better battery life than Sense roms. They don't have many services running in the background eating up memory.
I can't think of anything else anymore but hope this helps!

Our of stupidity but, how exactly can you back up your WiMax Keys? Where can you go? Lol sorry, feel free to troll on me for asking that
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Lol Oh no none of that. I don't troll on anyone for not knowing something, we've all been there. Are you using amon ra recovery 2.3? If so, boot into recovery, go to backup/restore, nandroid backup and then it'll give u a list of things you might want to select to backup. Just unselect everything, select wimax and then select perform backup. It should take a couple of mins and then your done.
Actually I'm using ClockWork Mod 2.6 just seemed easier to me than AmonRa. (weird I know). but ok, nand back up and just select the WiMax info??
Also, v7.7 had an undervolt script built into it that some phones, mine included don't like. Might try flashing alliance rls2. Had the script removed.

thanks for the info, I think the battery calibration helped a little, only 30% depleted after about 8 hours with moderate use.
I found I do have a newer PRI, version 1.90_003
Before I go messing with it, what is the PRI and what does it do?

one of the reasons I didn't like RLS1 was the way they had the personalize button set to open the Kingsrom website. Did they change that, or is there a way to change it?
oi, I had things going pretty well with 7.7 but it started getting glitchy and slow. Don't know why because once I had everything running smooth I didn't mess with it anymore. Reboot helped for a little while but started glitching again shortly after.
I decided to go to RLS2, it's running smooth but my lockscreen shortcuts have dissapeared and I can't get them back, any ideas on that??

You might try going into your personalize settings and select a different lock screen, I know there are a couple that take that certain option away LOL I use the weather one with the app selector or the wallpaper with the app selector. Hope it helps

no good, lock screen isn't displaying the way it should, tried several and nothing changes.
Did a factory reset and the lock screen is working correctly again. There must have been something that glitched when I restored my settings.
Tried restoring my backups and it the lock screen isn't right again. So I guess I either live with it or start from scratch again..

Questions about standby mode

I may have asked this before, but I'm not sure.
My A500 has a custom ROM on it, but its had this problem on multiple roms. I haven't tried on stock yet, but that's probably my next step. Anyways, here are my questions:
- How long can you usually leave your A500 in standby mode and still wake it up?
- Is there a way to manually put the tablet into sleep mode?
When I first got it, I remember leaving my A500 in standby mode (it should automatically go into standby when you idle, right?) and being able to wake it by hitting the power button almost a day later. Now I can only do it for a few hours and then it won't come out of sleep. I'll have to turn it off by holding the power button down (even though there is no indication that it is turning off), then I can turn it on again. Sometimes my battery will be depleted, apparently indicating that it did not properly go into sleep mode?

Usually I can leave it in sleep mode for well over a day, and it still wakes.
Press the PWR button will put it to sleep.
I would guess, the problem is Kernel related. This sometimes happens with kernels that supply Over/Under voltage. Usually for overclocking. Most of the newer kernels walk a fine line with trying to get maximum battery life, and your tab may suffer "the sleep of death" and require a hard re-boot.
I would advise one of the older kernels, like RTrips 3.4+ or Thors 3.7. Try to stay away from the most recent kernels.
Also, a few of the custom 500 roms, are really "cooked". Lots of changes to the rom itself.
You may want to try a lightly stock rom with a lower version kernel. This will fix the sleep of death issue.
As with your battery, the usual stuff like wifi/gps on, notifications, syncs, these all cause battery drain.
I leave my wifi on, but my syncs are set to every hour. Mail, Sms, and FB (silent). GPS is hard set to off. Widget refreshes also are 4 hrs.
I lose maybe 6% or so overnight.
All of the above is true there is one more issue that can occur . Google backup and restore.a bad app that you keep getting restored by the above.
if all else fails you can try the fallowing..
download a near stock rom.. with STOCK Kernel .
in cwm
of course wipe all
format all..
flash rom..
wipe all again.. (you know all of that)
if im having a app issue.. to find the app.
when your tablet boots the first time.. when you get to setting up your google account.. untick the boxes for backup and restore of data.. then install your apps one at a time back . to see what app is causing the trouble.. Of COURSE this all only applies if the rom flash does not work.. google often puts the problem back.. Ti backup will do the same .. put issues back.. Trial and Error is only way to solve this issue. ITS THE ONE MOST COMMON AND MOST TALKED ABOUT ISSUE WITH not only our tablet but all of android devices..
GOOD LUCK ..

Thanks to both of you. I needed reassurance that my tablet wasn't just messed up. I have a warranty on it and was thinking about getting it replaced and seeing how the new one behaved, but I'll try the suggestions. I'll probably try to reload my ROM after formatting and start with just the base apps and add one at a time as you suggested. If that doesn't work, I'll try a different kernel or ROM with a different kernel. I've already tried not using SetCPU to under/overclock, but that didn't work. Thanks again!
Another (relatively rare) issue is that the kernel you're using actually is flawed and fails to wake the GPU after it went to sleep (this may be a lot later than the device itself, depending on background services!). In this case using a different kernel will solve the issue (stock kernel is works).
EDIT: Posted at the same time... By all means try another kernel, this is a known evil with custom ones.
Okay, so I've tried installing the stock, rooted 3.2 ROM which uses the stock kernel. Did not restore any apps from Google Backup. Still getting the same issue. Does this point to a hardware issue? I have a warranty on this tablet, so I want to know if I should try trading it in.
OK, before you take your tab back, personally, I wouldn't worry about it.
I have noticed, on some occassions, (yes, I do run stock rooted on occasion), that sometimes, the tab will get what we call the sleep of death. And usually, this may occur over a long period of time. Also, sometimes, I have to hit the pwr button several times, before it wakes.
+1 with the PP on overclocked kernels. This happens with the most recent ones.
Fortunately, System Tuner Pro, will increase MB voltages, so you don't get this.
If it does it again, and you are on stock, try to press the pwr button several times.
cool, thanks. I'll try this today.

[Guide][Theory] Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Build SOD Fix!

I have found the fix for SOD's on ICS builds (based on i9220 leak kernel)!!
THIS YOU DO BY YOUR SELF! I TAKE NO PART IF YOU HAVENT READ THIS THRU AT LEAST 2 TIMES BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS!
First of I had a theory of the i9220 kernel and its CWM that in one way it does not represent our hardware right. It has its differences and they are more on a file level then anything. This can be shown easy by trying to format /system. By doing so you will get in to a world of trouble (so don't try it, just trust me)
So my first thing as I have never had a SOD was try to RECREATE a SOD. So my theory is/was that the kernel provided for the i9220 is the real culprit in this scenario and that by flashing RADIOS with its built in CWM is a MISTAKE!
And boy was I right! I installed a random N7000 radio .zip thru CWM (Now when I say CWM I do NOT mean some crappy .apk or app that does it FOR you. I mean the CWM you enter by starting the phone with Power + volume up + home button) and rebooted the phone.
I played around with it and let it rest for 30min. When I was going to wake it up again... SOD!!
Mission Accomplished!! Recreated Error!
So now ... how to fix it...
First off wee need to learn how Mobile Odin works and why this method works to fix it. When Mobile Odin is instructed to flash a ROM or anything else (like a radio) it boots to ITS OWN KERNEL! That is the file that Mobile Odin downloads on first run!
Now IF you are going to use Mobile Odin while on any ICS build (except the original i9220leak! Important! Mobile Odin will NOT work on stock i9220 leak!) you have to be 100% sure that you are PROPERLY ROOTED!
So Steps...
Step1: Get ZCLP1.zip Radio from the Radio Thread and extract the modem.bin file.
Step2: Get Mobile Odin and just flash modem, nothing else. The modem.bin you just extracted.
Step3: It should reboot and enter the Blue Odin Droid Kernel and flash radio.
When its done it will reboot again. And you will probably be SOD Free!
Hit the thanks button if this worked for you guys. Thanks for reading.
Oh btw I don't think that it is locked to use only that modem. I had la3 radio before and I didn't suffer any sods so don't get to blind on just the Chinese radio...
| GalaxyNote ICS | Tapatalk |
im on midnight 2.0 ics.i done what u said in the post.i just had a sod.
here is how it happened.i pressed wifi in pull down notification.it was stuck ..wifi would not turn on after the screen turned off and try to awake by using power button.it was dead.it would not do anything.had to hold power button for couple of min to restart.
Im currently on gb, used ics for a couple of weeks since chinese leak. Im not a 100% sure, but i really think it has something to do with wifi. I never really tested but I always had the most sod at home while connected. Rarely had sod at work, which was cellular data H+.
There is another method and that is to increase min CPU speed from 200 to 500mhz. Has worked for some...
| GalaxyNote ICS | Tapatalk |
Thanks mate, i'm gonna try some of that.
These SOD are making me crazy :/ Some day i can have 0 SOD and the day after 1 per hour...
You can use Wakelock and no more Sod...

I only get sods when wifi doesn't activate too. If it doesn't switch on immediately then the phone won't come out of sleep. I just restart manually when this happens instead of letting it sleep.

I get SOD with or without wifi completely randomly. I'm going to try increase CPU see if that works.
excuse me wt is SOD issue meaning ?
i know its a very stupid Que
but i hoppe to till me wt is it
thnx
It's not specific to the radio. I've done Mobile Odin Pro to try many different radios. Each time, I'd get an SOD.
Folks have also reported getting an SOD WHILE in Airplane mode. This completely puts the baseband issue out of the picture together.
If it's in airplane mode, it can't be a WIFI issue too.
The kernel itself is just bad and it has its quirks.
Due to the inability to get a logcat when it is in a SOD state, it makes it very hard to pinpoint what is causing the SOD.

SOD is Screen Of Death or Screen Of Darkness; meaning that the screen will not wake up up after you turn the phone on and you have to restart/reboot the device. Various things cause it... Have a search and you will learn more about it!

We need a SOD-off app
Look for wake lock power manager in play store. It creates a wake lock, preventing deep sleep, and consequently a SOD. For the price of a low battery autonomy.
I was having lots of sod's on aosp v7 and the reason was not related to ROM. it was something to do with the cpu frequency and voltage in the chainfire ics kernel.
Steps I performed to reproduce.
1. Use setcpu or system tuner to set the cpu frequency to 500 mhz when screen off.
2. As soon as the screen is off you can see that note is not responding to keys. Sod reproduced !!!!
In my opinion it has some thing to do with the voltage at frequency 500 mhz, may be the voltage is a little bit less for that frequency and it refused to wake.
Hope it helps some one with the similar sods.

I was having lots of sod's on aosp v7 and the reason was not related to ROM. it was something to do with the cpu frequency and voltage in the chainfire ics kernel.

We know that ICS leak comes from i9220 and that it's set to work at maximum 1200Mhz.
Now the question is - do i9220 and n7000 use exactly the same CPU ? If so, then we can rule out voltage problems - unless engineers at Samsung f....up.
For all it's worth, that's an early build leak...when official update will be here, i think our problems will be over as we'll just use the proper kernel with our ICS roms.

Is there any way or app which stops using certain frequencies.

apps that cause sleep of death

is there a list of known apps that cause the sleep of death?
i'm using the 7/30/12 mirage kang. the fresh install doesn't have SOD problems but after i restore my apps, if i let the screen go dark for ten minutes while wifi is running, i'm pretty much guaranteed SOD.

That *is* the SOD. It's not caused by an app so much as meeting those conditions. For a quick fix set wifi to turn off when the screen turns off. Search is your friend for more info/fixes.

Like MISRy said, it is not a specific app causing it. It is the fact that you leave wifi on with the screen off. And not just specifically screen off, but in deep sleep. But it is not consistent and not everyone gets it. Some of the devs could never make it happen. Usually it is when wifi is on with screen off and an app is using it that is the problem. So if wifi is on and being used, and at the moment you try to turn it on it is in deep sleep, bingo SOD. As I said in the other thread, look at my tips.

i thought the fixed wifi module was included with all recent kernels

No, the kernel and wifi kernel module are two different things. The wifi kernel module has to be matched to the kernel (it is a kernel module), but is a separate piece of software. It is in /system/lib/modules/twlan_drv.ko. No SOD patches have been used in any stock CM7 kernels or modules. I think Mrg666 uses a patched kernel for his Mirage build and sometimes it is enough, but SOD does not really stop until the patched module is used.

no SOD yet. awesome!
Can u set wifi to go off in settings somewhere or do u need an app like green power? I only ask because that was what I did but after awhile, it won't let the wifi come on at all until I remove the app and reboot

Yes there is a setting. Go to wifi networks and select menu and advanced. There should be a wifi sleep policy setting.
I think there is no specific app which causes SOD
Dear all my friends who facing the SOD Sleep of Death issue with their Android devices...
i found that it is totally related to Wifi Sleep policy related... i just changed the setting last night n now after 8 hours it is running absolutely without SOD... i will also be inform u later if i will get my device out of SOD issue... all of u just have to do one thing.
Go to settings>wifi settings>
from the options go to advanced settings
there is one option: Keep wi-fi on during sleep (go to this option)
there is 3 options: 1. Always, 2. Only when plugged in, 3. Never (increases data usage)
u just have to change ur option from 1 to 2 or 3, then i hope u will find that u will get ur device out of SOD issue...
Regards,
Nauman
