Battery...

Hello,
After I installed ICS (JB or Stock) a had the problem, that the tab took about 80mA - 190mA from the Battery.
I'm monitoring the Battery from my HC 3.2 Overcome, and there the drain was about 20 - 30mA. So I'm not
happy with this Situation.
Then i tried the CM9 experimental from pershoot. And there i have the same low drain from about 20-30mA.
Now i want to know, why in Stock ICS the drain is 3-4 times higher than in CM9?
Can anyybody give me a hint about it.
I've tried it with a clean install, where i really only installed the battery monitor....

it seems like a kernel issue on stock ics , it keeps searching for signal even if airplane mode is on !
what i did is i installed the stock ROM then i installed a1 kernel over the stock one ..
it seems like the problem is fixed for me

Hi,
thx for your answer, but i already installed aa's kernel.
i tried from 1.59 til 1.7.

I think you use Stock Rom "XXLQ8" - italian ics??!!
If the answer is yes, the problem happens with me with this rom even with A! kernel.
I fix it by these steps:
1- Backup all your data....
2- Downlaod "JellyBeanRom ICS v6" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813651&highlight=battery
3- Make a full wipe.
4- Falsh the "JellyBeanRom ICS v6" as Thread steps.
5- After the tab restart and finshing falshng rom, go to bootloader and make "Wipe Battery State"
6- I hope everthing is fine now.
Or try to flash another stock Rom ver with "Full Wipe Data & system"
This is my personal experience with this issue, and this is the solution that saved me

In CPU spy you will notice that the tab doesn't go to deep sleep for long periods on ics. If you have betterbatterystats installed you will notice that this is caused by a kernel wakelock 'l2_hsic'.
I reverted back to hc3.2 overcome because I couldn't find a fix for the wakelock. But ever since calling was enabled on ics I flashed back for this mod.
I am on stock rooted Italian 4.0.4 and only installed A1 yesterday and have had mixed results so far. If it continues I will probably try V6.

@dana
i've tried all "battery drain" fixes that are here reported.
Also clean installs and so on.
I think that sxi200 is right,
because i had also the wakelock "l2_hsic"
but i don't know what causes this wakelock btw. how to remove it.

i think that's very strange....

Well maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel. I flashed Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS V6 XWLP5 which has A1 kernal and haven't had the l2_hsic wakelock since.
I flashed straight over stock ICS without wiping and haven't had a singe problem. Tab now sleeps like a baby. Will keep my eyes on it to make sure.

Same here.
Flashed ital. ics over p7501 stock hc. Performance was quite nice, huge step foreward but battery drain went up to a couple of percentages per hour in the wannabe sleep mode. I took a look at it with cpu spy and the result was nearly no deep sleep! Even if my tab wasn't in use for the whole night ( only wifi turned on ) the cpu frequency stayed at 216 MHz. This results in a non usable tab for me because i wasn't able to use it a whole day at university without recharging!!
Yesterday evening I flashed A1's 1.7 Kernel over stock ital. ics and woooohooooo more than 6 hours of deep sleep last night (even though more than I had...) and battery only goes down 2 percent within this time.
From today I can tell that deep sleep works perfect until now for the periods of non usage.
BTW: A1 Kernel also solved my problem with flickering HDMI output on my TV!! Thats amazing but I'm going to post this in the seperate thread as well now.
Maybe someone could do me a favour and quote this in the official A1 thread in the developers section because due to the "10 posts rule" I am not allowed to do so..:crying:

Q: How does OpenDelta auto updater work?

At first, OpenDelta will check if a Rom Zip is available on your device. If OpenDelta doesn't find it, it will download a Rom. (~170mb) From then, it will only download the difference (delta) and patches the initial Rom zip within internal SD /OpenDelta. Then, after the patch, the Rom zip will be around 280mb, as it is uncompressed.

@Chainfire is still working on it:
Chainfire said:
FYI, people still suffering from the OTA updater freezing mid-verify, mid-download or mid-patch, we've found a lot of way how it didn't get fixed Putting the sdcard handling code in debug mode gets rid of the problem, but obviously we don't want to do that in production, eh!

Go back to Stock ROM or search play store for whatever your needs are. You'll probably find something that's better than Samsung apps anyway. If you're still wondering - OmniRom will not and can never support Samsung stock apps.

General probs I have with Rom
_
I would love to use this rom as my daily driver but due to some issues I have reverted to my previous setup slimsabre.
Phone gets very hot whilst charging - but charges at acceptable rate. I have replaced battery but still same.
Sometimes phone gets very hot even when not in use - I could not find any reason even looking at better batt stats and cpu spy - tried reinstalling rom and gapps only and this still happened - Phone would just become very hot to hold at some random time.
Any help on this appreciated as I do not know what is causing this.

If you got the new battery cheap off eBay or similar it's a good chance that it's fake. I've had a couple of those, heating up to the point where you're afraid of damages.
Sent from my phone using some app

When I first installed Omni my phone stayed hot for ages. It turned out that Google+, which normally I do not use and have frozen on previous ROMs, was going absolutely nuts doing some sort of background sync and downloading truckloads of data. The app was running in the background for over an hour with the CPU cores pretty much maxed out. Maybe your problem is the same. Maybe not. Eventually G+ finished its evil work and the phone performance and temperature returned to normal.
I ran with the ROM for a few days and it seemed stable, but I've actually reverted to Samsung's latest stock ROM as KitKat really wasn't doing it for me. Basically I saw no tangible benefits but did lose some convenient features and interface changes were definitely a backward step with Omni. Maybe when it's matured and ART is working fully I'll take another run at it.

Omni kernel(with SD access) was only available after flashing ROM since 12th Dec nightly, so it depends what rom you're on right now. Or perhaps you flashed Raw Kernel over it?
I would advise you to do a clean install. There's no other kernel available right now for 4.4 But it should work.

i solved it by flashing the Google keyboard from the pa gapps thread.
rebooting the device after clearing the aosp keyboard data didn't work.
the Google keyboard has no difference over the aosp one but has a working gesture typing.
you could do that too
-download Google keyboard zip
-reboot to recovery
-flash the zip
-clear cache and dalvik cache
-reboot
-select Google keyboard from settings->language and input
done
hope it helps

Guys, a little confused here,
is openDelta already integrated into the 12/15 Nightly?
if so, then why is it trying to download the whole ROM?
I think the first time we use it, it Downloads the entire ROM and then the next time it checks hashes and then only downloads updated files...
please clarify, as I thought It only downlods changed files and checks hash for that.
thought downloading fails midway, tried almost 7-8 times now,
I already increased the screen time on to 30 minues, what else can I do to get it downloaded completely

Unhappy slow charging and poor battery life.. over heating while using mobile interne
First of all many thanks for developing such a good rom. everything is upto the mark the only critical issue i am facing is very very slow charging, and along with very poor battery life i am using build of 12-12-2013. i charge my phone to 100% (it takes almost 6hrs) and it drains within 1hr (normal usage). Also i tried with two other new batteries as well same issue.
And there is one more issue whenever we change the music (forward/play-pause) using headset screen automatically turns on. Screen also turns on automatically sometimes without going on anything.
Phone over heats while running multiple application or using internet
Screen brightness is way to high on automatic setting mode even though i adjusted it with the flux response settings, in the settings of phone.
Guys please help me out i don't know much abt anroid programming and bug fixing please.

For battery drain. Install better battery stats as system app (settings > advanced) which you can find on xda. Check which app and service is driving your phone nuts.

Slow phone, poor battery life lately

Hello,
I have a G2 D802 International version (more info in the end of the post)
Rom is CloudyG2 v3.3 Android 5.0.2, but the problem is not related to this rom only, as it was also present with the Stock ROM.
I face a lot of slowdowns and a poor battery life even with the phone left on standby.
I don't recall that the same happened on Kitkat.
Things I tried:
- Clearing/wiping the cache partition, only closing all running apps makes it faster again but for a short while.
- Use Watchdog task manager to check if an app consumes CPU but it doesn't show something specific.
PS: I always do a full wipe when installing a new rom
Question is, how can I effectively check which app/process consumes cpu/battery.
Phone: LG G2 D802 (International) 16Gb version.
Rom: CloudyG2 v3.3
Android 5.0.2
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build number: SRKDeBloatG2-2-00.TomYum-Kung
Root: rooted.
Recovery: TWRP
Apps that may be left open in the background(if it matters):
Google maps, Outlook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Facebook, Chrome.
but these have been always the same, even when the performance was OK on kitkat

Just uninstall all apps you don't need. Like Facebook etc. Just go to the mobile page of the ones you need.
Also you can do a full wipe, internal sd card included. Then transfer install files to phone in TWRP. Than flash again. Don't use backup for the apps and install just the ones u need.
good luck!

Thanks @PhoenixNLx, I already wiped everything before, it comes back again.
as of the Apps I need them all, I did for sometime use facebook's website instead of the app, but the other apps I do need them.
I just wish if someone could guide me how to hunt down this problem by knowing the cause.
I also read that some performance problems were fixed in 5.1.1, so I would appreciate if anyone recommends a rom.

sorry when I meant I'll be waiting for a stable rom, I meant without the early bugs in CM which are still not totally fixed,
but I think I'll lose my temper with my phone and install your rom after a week from now

Update for anyone viewing this thread in the feature,
I've installed Bliss Rom 6.0 (android 6.0 Marshmallow) and it has been a week since then,
the rom speed, battery usage and features are amazing and I don't face any slowness anymore.

Great to know! For future reference also there is an app called wakelock detector tells you what's eating your battery life

Question, if you are not rooted what is a good app that detects what's eating your battery life? I'm losing 15% on avg during the night and as far as I know nothing is running (bluetooth/location is off) and the phone is left in the same spot.

I had the same problems with the stock rom, but with CyanogenMod 12.1 I neither had battery problems nor slowdowns, the same with CM 13 nightlys now. On average, my g2 reaches up to 2 days battery running time.?

Z5 Compact stable ROM / Kernel suggestions / help (newbie)

Hi all
Please excuse me. This is my first foray into flashing my Xperia with another ROM / Kernel and I'm running into some problems.
I've been trying to follow various threads and instructions on this forum but keep getting stuck.
Firstly, suggestions for a stable build of something?
Generally fed up of the Bluetooth issues I've been having with the Sony builds. I used Cyanogen mod a few years ago but understand that's not around any more?
So far I have unlocked the bootlader on the Z5 compact.
I have also tried flashing a TWRP recovery to it using fastboot. This kind of works, but then I just get stuck into a reboot loop. I can get into the recovery, but not much else.
I've managed to revert back to 32.4.A.0.160 through Sony's Emma flashtool. This boots fine but doesn't appear to have any recovery function. Essentially I'm back where I started after much frustration and trawling through threads.
Any help would be welcome. Please explain things as you would to an idiot
Cheers
Jo

unlock bootloader
flash recovery/TWRP to recovery partition
flash custom kernel (stock with tobias.waldvogel's mods)
to get into recovery you turn off the device and keep volume down + power button pressed until you feel a vibration (confirmation), then you can release the power button - it'll boot into recovery

I have unlocked the bootloader, i have a working TWRP and also Supersu. But i still have issues withe the DRM keys. My first kernel was passing most of the DRM tests (most of them, not all) but the wifi was nor working. Now i have a working one but all tests fail. Considering the fact that i even have a TA back-up can you please tell me how can i patch a kernel with my keys (not to restore TA partition, i need the workaround) or a good kernel (a stock but to work with stock fw and to be able to use the thermal control FSC and adiutor). I`m noob with Z5c and it is very different from Xperia SP (my previous phone) witch i have a lot of experience.

if stock based I use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/rom-stock-z5c32-3-0-376r2dau-t3570248
Aosp based I use this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...ageos-14-1-bernis-alternative-builds-t3694904 , this rom more fast than stock. now I use this, camera quality is good also.

Okay, thanx for the the info... but:
- What kernel do you use for the AOSP build?
- How do you root and still have DRM keys ?

that's Rom include kernel. I don't know about DRM on AOSP build, never check since use that's ROM because my camera working fine and less noise.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I have settled to the AOSP from your link (Bernie`s). I confirm that Magisk works great with it, and all seems very good now. I had to install GAPPS from opengaps site. Hope the battery is better than Resurection .

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
You got some excelent battery life. I still hardly get 12 hours even after some serious downclocking my cpu's and hotswap set to 95. I have tryed to take a screenshot to the battery screen but i have only the history from last charge (wierd).

Try calibrate your battery first, charge until 100% then use normal until drop between 5%, charge again to 100% . Use again and no need drop until very low battery to charge. I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration for calibration.
Use calibration at once only, not to much.
Your battery status must above the line inside Mv bar on battery calibration apps when unplug the charger when percentage 100%.
If 100% then unplug chager but Mv battery below than line in the Mv bar, your battery probably broken and need to change.
I also use battery charge limit to safe life time of battery.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-battery-charge-limit-t3557002/
I'm limit to 90%

Wow,
Thank you Alvian. That battery optimiser realy did the trick, it literally doubled the battery discharge time. Thanks

Crazy battery drain after update OTA 12.0.2.0

Does anyone how to really fix batery drain on MIUI 12.0.2.0 QFJMIXM?
I made a reset, turn off bluetooth,nfc,gps, stop msa, mba services, nothing works for me in this update vs miui 11, my battery life decrease 50%.
When I try to reinstall this last update, Ota system never found.

Had the same...3h sot on 1 day... horrible
I'm gone to Paranoid, second days, 4h sot ans 32% left. Not excellent but better !

me too, i got +2 days standby (cell + wifi only) with miui 10, a litlle less with miui11, and 12 went crap (with android system using the most like you)
tried what i could find to fix it, but nothing helped. plus miui12 had a bunch of bugs.
luckily i did a full backup before installing miui12. i went back to miui11
maybe in future builds they fix it, but for now, does not worth it for me.

Do you suggest a better android 10 rom?
At this moment you use a old MIUI or a rom?

Im using the Global EEA MIUI 11.0.6.0, which is the latest one before MIUI12. instaled using the recovery rom with TWRP.
i tested briefly LineageOS, but in actuality, MIUI is more "customizable" to my likings, and LineageOS feels a bit basic. The "extra" options is the MIUI have is great for me.
i would have tested PixelExperience Plus, but got firmware errors on installing, an as i'm not familiar with the firmware arena yet (i prefer a phone than a paper weight ), i only tested Lineage prior to downgrading MIUI12 > MIUI11

Yes, Pixel Experience Plus has definitively much better battery life! I have 8-9 hours SOT (see screenshot)
Btw: Firmware flashing isn't a big deal. There's not much you can do wrong.

The problem like appear android system, have any app to know whats process killing battery to stop?

gsam battery monitor can show details, but in my findings the consuming wakelocks are needed system components , and not something you can disable and fix it.

appears that xiaomi is the one that needed to fix this, unless we have a ninja here that can do their job.
i would do more testing but this is my main phone and i can't spend days without it, testing fresh installs and trying to find the root causes by trial and error

i had done all of this and other things, since i started using miui11. in my case wasn't enough to make the "android system" to reduce battery usage in miui12.
i started to disable fingerprint unlock, uninstalled most of my apps, removed magisk, mods, etc (they may be the cause of problems) and still, nothing visible changed.
don't know if this is a problem everyone having or only a few.

Install Magisk, get a root file explorer.
Go to /dev/diag, set this file's permissions to 666. See if it helps.

saw a news today about miui 12 for k20/9t being halted for minor issues. maybe we can get a updated rom if we wait a bit.

Up to you. I think I saw it on 11 too, not sure if that's the same problem.
I just know it's a recurring one for our device
