Battery drain... what is wrong ?? - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Im using the U8800Pro.. running ICS 4.0.3 stock, rooted. For some reason my device wont last for a day.. drains a lot of battery. Any idea why ?? Thank you
Sent from my U8800 using xda premium

Well, battery drain is a well known issue concerning the ICS...
Meanwhile you should, first of all, see what app ou service is getting the higher dose of drain, check if some app is on background consuming, overclocking, etc etc. Did you make your wipes when upgrading? too many issues i donĀ“t know if you already covered...

close the wifi bluetooth gps when you dont use them.

This baseband does appear to improve on battery usage, but it's still early days - weekends tend to have less phone usage than weekdays.
I have juice plotter up and running to be able to meter this somewhat less vaguely.

I have a problem with .67 and .61.
Here's my story:
I am on Froyo MIUI for the past two months, I think.
I had baseband .58 with the baseband patch.
Battery life was damn good, I could easily get 35-40 hours
and even more if I was using the phone less than usual.
With CPU Spy (a great piece of app, by the way) I could see that when I was not using the phone,
it was almost immediately falling to "Deep Sleep" state, meaning minimum to none CPU usage.
After installing .67, I noticed a slightly increased battery drain.
Opened CPU Spy and saw that the phone didn't get enough Deep Sleep.
Half the time the CPU was working, even during the night.
Then I installed .61 but the situation was exactly the same.
Also, in Spare Parts, the Dialer appeared to keep the phone awake for 70-80% of the uptime.
It's very weird, could it be related to my region?
Could those 2 basebands be incompatible with my country's networks?
The signal, however, was vastly improved from .58 .

it could be software related,i know theres a few apps that cause problems with deep sleep such as power amp,flikr,meebo/juicedefender atc. what miui rom are you using? also you could try system app remover from the marker and disable the dialler. the region shouldnt make too much difference as my regions isnt compatible either.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Actually, the Dialer is the com.android.phone process, so if I disable it,
I will be disabling radio connections!
I haven't installed any new apps, so it can't be that.
I am thinking about doing a repair with SEUS and then reflashing my MIUI ROM.
I am using Trip's MIUI 1.2 by the way.
Never before have I had such issues though.

yeah but if you disable it say overnight and check the usage it will pinpoint the problem. try the trip 1.0.9 from what ive read that seems to be the most stable.some of trips releases are better than others. gl

Wifi connection problems after using onavo data monitor app

Last week when the Onavo data monitor app appeared prominently placed on the market home screen I gave it a try.
Unfortunately it created a very annoying bug on my phone running JVU and Semaphore 2.5:
whenever my phone looses it's wifi connection for any reason it will not recognize and connect to available wifi anymore even if placed directly near the router with full signal strength!
The only way to get it connected again is switching wifi off and then on again...
I already uninstalled the app and did a factory reset but nothing changed. Probably it messed up some system files that don't get touched during factory reset.
As I'm in vacation now and don't have my data cable with me to flash a fresh firmware, is there any way to resolve this issue in other means?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Nobody here with any idea how to resolve this? It's really annoying as even battery consumption goes up very much when the phone looses wifi and auto connects to 3g.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I have no idea about your problem. I also have just installed Onavo on JVU firmware for a couple days, but everything is still ok....
So, I'm thinking the cause is from your router!! Why don't you try another wifi network?
Good luck!! ^^

Thanks for your answer! It doesn't depend on my router. As I said I'm in vacation right now and therefor using many different available hotspots, it happens on all of them... :-(

Any issues with battery drain and onavo? Cause it was sucking mine dry!! I thought it was semaphore's fault (i'm on icssgs 4.2) until i figure it out and uninstalled it. Now it is Almost as prior installing onavo. I have a feeling that it left some garbage behind though.
It definitely left some garbage behind and this thread is about to find out how to get rid of it.
Battery drain was and unfortunately still is very high on my device thanks to the non desired 3g connection instead of wifi...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Try to flash a new kernel again. It may help you updating some files that control wifi.
I used onavo for couple of days, battery drains. Its functions already in ICS roms, Less but good.

Abysmal battery life

Hello,
The battery on my S3 is driving me crazy. I originally had an S3 and went to the Note II, but reverted back to another S3 because I couldn't stand the size of the Note. Anyway, this S3's battery is really bad - I barely use it and it drains 5% an hour, sometimes more. I've tried everything, location is turned off, social media is all turned off I just update it manually... I've attached some screenshots. it was 50% and dropped to 34% in just 2 hours and a half, I only used it for 2 minutes during that time according to the Screen data.
Any thoughts, suggestions or miracle solutions are appreciated.
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Seriously try another ROM dude
Sent From The B*S*A*D Child Prime
I've tried turning it on and off, tried wiping data.... Forgot to mention I'm running Sotmax Ultimate Stock ROM v8 w/ Yank555 v2.7 kernel. Everybody's reporting great battery life with the setup, can't say the same.

I used to have abysmal battery life too, on LK4 stock till I discovered that several stock apps were the culprits. I disabled them and now my battery is almost on par with how it was when running ICS.
Try disabling the below apps. If it works well and good. If not, you've got to investigate what's happening.

Phone rooted. Since I installed the new JB 4.1.2 my battery live is really good : for example 48% remaining after 17 hours of use with 56 mns calls etc... and I keep everything working (WiFi, Bluetooth and all apps)
Updates from facebook and nova launcher seem to be your worst enemy

Try this. Im using Sotmax as well but with perseus kernel. In stweaks I under volted the CPU by -75mv and gpu by -50mv. Super smooth and completely stable.
I tried other kernels and I just couldn't get good battery life. I'm getting about 14 hours of solid use. Screen on of about 3.5 hours. I used to only get 7-8 hours.
The other thing I did was freeze the following which constantly run in background.
Video Hub
Software Update
SSuggest
Samsung Push Service (for Sammy app updates)
Make sure you remove your Samsung account. It constantly runs in background.
Wifi advanced settings change Wifi policy to only when charging. I find Wifi drains this phone fast.
I highly recommend resetting the battery levels by typing *#0228#
Then choose quick start. Unlock the phone and your battery will show the actual levels. Charge to 100%
Finally, I matched the ril with the modem included with this rom. Install the app getril and download the proper ril and install.
Hope this helps!

New malaysia 4.1.2 firmware having great battery performance.

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

the way I see Bluetooth is now like wifi even when it's off it's on but since it's in a low energy state it really shouldn't be draining your battery I've easily gotten 15+ hours while actually using the Bluetooth to play games with my moga controller and using my deck
I have the same issue.. im stock t-mobile on kit kat... and im currently getting the same amount of battery i was getting on my lg nexus 5.. which kind of sucked.. I dont think theres a fix yet

Maybe Phone Carrier
I think it's maybe related to your carrier too. They change something in the ROM to make compatible with network then release to your phone. For International and Korean Version is ok. But can you try to reset, if the problem still exist?
I have sprint and have been dealing with same issue since kk update. I don't even use bluetooth, always off, but yet saying keep awake 5hrs on a battery cycle.
I only experience it when I have wifi on at the same time, its weird.
From my experience on my phone, it's just a wrong reporting. Even with BT allegedly draining according to the battery stats, my battery life is still the same as before.
