Hi. I have a S5830i and my battery runs out quickly. I tryed battery calibration app from market but nothing happened :/ Any suggestions ??
Edit: I used to have root but i use odin to get from razodroid to stock rom.
Calibrating your battery doesn't magically extend it...
Also what do you mean by quickly? Battery drain while playing games? Standby? Or other...
If you're experiencing battery drain in standby lower your cpu frequency (Assuming you have a custom kernel)
Also are you sure you haven't left your phones apps open in the background lol ? < Noob mistake

if u want to try some rom..there are roms like simplicity which give good battery life..
as for tweaks, use cpu control to set max-min frequencies and also use "deep sleep" option..app for that is No frills cpu control
try to reduce brightness and set screen turnoff time according to what's best u think!
Optimize RAM usage by killing unecessary apps(scripts like adrenaline, v6 supercharger are good for that)
turn off automatic sync if it's not important to you..
Search for scripts and flash them(must have custom kernel)
There is an awesome app called "Juice Defender".. It's real good and provides lot of options and schedules.. One of the good features is that with rooted phones it installs more tweaks and you can see a substantial increase in battery life!

I am using stock o2 rom without root
may be it's just some app running in background..!
if it's not, then i assume that your expectation level from android phone about battery life is too high
if your battery works for you for one working day, then i assume it's normal (my personal opinion)!
is this happening to your phone ever since you bought the phone or just happening from past few days ?
if this problem is from past few days, then you should uninstall whatever you installed in past few days.
if you badly want good battery life, then i advice you should buy a new battery with more capacity for your phone
or you can also try and download juice defender from market!

I had root on my last rom but not now
first root your phone (espacially use rom).Then download battery calibration ,charge ur phone to %100,and click to calibrate.finally adjust cpu min to 312 max to 832(It's ideal).
no deep sleep
Hey,
I've a problem putting my phone into deep sleep. I've installed the thunderkernel (v2.1), which is capable to put the phone into deep sleep - however nothing happens. I'm using a custom rom (cm7).
I'm using link2sd with a ext2 partition (1GB) to extend the amount of space I've for apps. As far as I know there are no special apps running on my phone which could prevent it from going to deep sleep.
Do you have any suggestions/hints what is wrong or where I could check for the cause?

Hey,
I was using up to now No-thrills CPU Control, I've tested now for the last day OnePowerGuard and I would say there is no difference...
With both applications I'm using the smartassV2 Governor and the cfq scheduler. With both apps deep sleep is omitted and I have ~95-98% percent of the time a cpu frequency of 156MHz.
Any more ideas what I could check or what I could do to get to know which process or setting is preventing the deep sleep?

Sorry, but the default governor is "ondemand" which scales up the cpu very fast and needs ages to go back to lower frequencies. In fact I've solved the problem using Better Battery stats.
The problem were massive wakeups of the driver for the sdhc card (bmc.sdhc.3). I've reformated the second partition on my sd card from ext2 to ext4 and the wakeups were gone.
However you're right: OnePowerGuard is a quite nice application which make some tweaks to the system for people who doesn't want or are not able to tweak it, after I found the cause for the wakeups and fixed it, I'll think I'll prefer this app over No-frills cpu control. Thanks for you suggestion!

I'm not responsible for any problems caused by this on your device. It's your choice to apply these simple tweaks to your phone!

If these simple Android Market apps, cause any problems on your device it means you've got something unstable installed on your device! I never had problems with Autokiller and AutoRun Manager on any ROM.
Hey,
In this thread I will show you how to get a REAL boost on your Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10! This method could also improve performance and battery life on any other handset. This is compatible on Android 2.1, 2.2.1 and 2.3.x. (This way of boosting performance is without Systcl config! I suggest you to uninstall Systcl config, since it doesn't improve anything for me (and maybe for more persons here). I don't recommend you to use Autokiller on WolfBreak his CyanogenMod 6.1.3. He has already implemented these settings and also don't use this on Gingerbread Custom ROMS for the x10. Autokiller is not stable on it anymore. Just wait till I report more about it.
This method made me lose 0-2% in 9 hours on WolfBreak his Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 and ALL 2.1 ROMS! These simple apps, did improve my performance and battery life!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets get to the point
Download this and this package, put in on your phone and install them!
Lets config it now
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Autokiller.
Go to the tab Memory limits.
Now put these configuration into the 3 boxes. (If these values cause problems you can try lower values I will provide)
Hidden app: 150
Content provider: 160
Empty app: 170
Now press on Apply.
Lower values (Only use when you get problems with high values):
Hidden app: 82
Content provider: 90
Empty app: 92
Now press on Apply.
(Don't put these values listed above higer. If you do your device can start to malfunction)
Now press on the Menu button on your Device and tap on Settings. Now make sure Apply settings on boot is turned on! After turning it on, press on Advanced system tweaks. Now make sure that Battery and Memory management are turned on!
Exit Auto Killer by pressing the menu button and reboot your device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now open Autorun Manager.
Now make sure every service that is listed in the tab Basic you don't need is turned off! Make sure you only turn off things in the tab Basic! After doing that, exit Autorun Manager with the Menu button and reboot your device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This configuration only effects you device when your screen is turned off. Don't expect with this setCPU very big changes! But there will (must) be some changes in battery life) (Some people had big changes)
The settings here below won't cause any lag when coming from sleep (atleast for me). Even with heavy apps.
[To get the XDA-free version of setCPU take a look at this post. Credits for telling this are going to DooMLoRD]
This step has a payed app. You can buy it from the Android Market. The app is called ''setCPU''.
Buy setCPU from the Android Market. Now open it and do the following:
Tap on Show Other Frequency Sets and tap on the list on Nexus One/Snapdragon [QSD8x50]. Put
Now press left in the corner on the tab Main. Put in the scaling bar the maximal frequency on 998MHz. Now put the minimal frequency on 245MHz.
Now press on Scaling and choose out of the list Ondemand, after pressing on Ondemand turn ''Set on Boot'' on.
Now press on the tab that you can find next to Main. It's called Profiles. Make sure that ''Enable'' turned one and Notifications turned off. Then press on Add Profile. In the Edit Profile window you have to put the following settings:
Profile: Screen Off
Max: 384MHz (Don't put it lower or it can cause malfunctioning!)
Min: 245 MHz
Scaling: powersave
Priority: 100 (High)
Then press Save.
Then reboot your device and enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your x10 is now fully optimized with a few simple apps! Not only the battery but also the performance! Most people think it should improve battery, it's only more for performace. It can improve your battery.

Interesting. Hard to believe the 0% in 9hours. I think that's massively exaggerated. Cellular standby at the min uses 0.5%-1% per hour. Even if you didn't turn your screen on during that entire 9 hour period, you would still have a drop of about 5%-10% in batt life.
But I'll bite and give it a test.

Yes, that's what I was saying, even then, cellular standby would eat up 0.5-1% of batt life per hour. Could be much higher if you're on a fringe area of your nearest tower among other factors. In a 9 hour period, in just standby and in perfect conditions it should have at the very least dropped 5%.
I mean this is just the nature of the beast with devices. Only way around this would be airplane mode, phone in sleep mode and not being used at all. Then the phone is pretty much dead and you might as well just have it turned off. Even then phones that are turned off actually bleed batt life. Albeit at a much slower pace, they still discharge while completely off.

If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.
zulk_77 said:

Click to expand...

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.
zulk_77 said:

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..

How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.

I personally found the SolarFlare rom much better compared to many other roms. Have the longest battery life on that.
Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

I own my X10 from January but didn't use it as my main phone - instead I played a lot with tons of apps.
BTW se's 2.1 ROM is VERY stable! Even when I have about 200-300 apps installed (internal memory was full) and about 20-30 was launched after boot - I had no FCs or any other issues (except slow boot up (about 2-3 minutes) and slow start of new apps). It's very stable comparing to HTC for example.
About CPU frequency - I used SystemPanel to monitor a lot of things, including CPU usage. With 2.1 ROM CPU frequency was 245-500 MHz at idle with CPU load 7-30%.
Now with 2.3 ROM CPU frequency don't fall lower than 720 and mostly is about 900 MHz at idle! With CPU load 1.9-9%.
Seems that it should consume battery A LOT!
Recheked with CPU Spy - strange result: at idle (no load, just stock apps and CPU spy) 80-90% for 998 Mhz, 10-19% for 245 Mhz and percent or less for all other frequencies!
Am I alone with that issue?
With screen off CPU work right. About 60-70% in deep sleep, 30-20% at 245 and about 10% at 998.
But what's wrong with screen on??
What's on your X10??
Link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200595
Steps to reproduce/check:
1. Install CPU Spy (from Market)
2. Set screen timeout to 30 minutes
3. Start CPU Spy
4. Press "Reset timers"
5. Leave phone for 2-15 minutes (do not turn off the screen! don't press power button!)
6. Press "Refresh" on CPU Spy
7. Observe time percentage at 998 MHz

Everything is fine until you don't try to do something that require screen to be on. For example browsing web for a half an hour will drop battery for 15-20% or even more! With 2.1 ROM numbers are much better!
Will wait for any real response from SE.
BTW - try to measure CPU frequencies on 2.1 ROM. You'll see the difference.

Screen brightness is going to be your number one killer. Also, if you're using WiFi/3G/4G all day long that will kill your battery too. Finally, if you're playing games that use a bunch of graphics that utilize your phone's hardware (openGL, unreal engine, etc.) it will drain your battery pretty fast.
I have seen an article somewhere saying that live wallpapers don't actually consume as much battery as people make them out to be, and i found this to be true, i got 5 days out of my Optimus 2X (no sim card inside) and it had a live wallpaper, what consumes the most battery is the screen itself (reduce brightness to get better battery life while using the phone) and data on 3G (i always turn off data when i don't use it) and i normaly get 2 days out of my Optimus 2X (1 day of heavy usage).
Thank you for the info whoever provided here.

Disable gmail/email notifications. Disable auto backup/restore. Disable all location services/vibrations/sounds when typing/wifi or GPS or BT when not in use. Disable data or stick with 2g in standby mode. Find a custom ROM that usually will be much better with battery management.
That's in a nutshell of how I can basically keep my phone draining 1% per hour on standby mode.

A suggession try an app called juice defender
Free available n the paid one is awesome... I am not saying saying will get 100% increase but 30~40% INCREASE is observed by me and well something is better than nothing... M using the paid version bt the free one is equally good.. Oh yeah one thing.. Download.. Thn customise.. N forget it because its fully automatic...
Hit thanks if u like my research

I highly recommend GO Power Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.gopowermaster
It lets you customize power profiles and set "sleep" cycles so that it uses minimal power when you're not using it anyway (I set mine to just be phone/text from 11pm until 7am).
It also has a "smart kill" button on the widget (which you don't have to use) that will prolong battery life by killing apps that are doing nothing. I know there's a lot of argument about app/task killers out there, but it's always worked well for me.
Adjust screen brightness to 0 (dim)
use dark wallpaper
disable gps, bluetooth , wifi when not in use and also air plane mode during night time
and also clear running apps with task manager:good:
Also you could try GSam Battery Monitor Pro, it will show you which process are using %'s of power
Try this one

Hi Guys,
I am using xperia sola from last twenty days.....:good: but the battery performance is very bad:crying: when i checked my battery usage, analysis came out that more than 50% of battery is getting used by display....so to cut down that i have started using picture wallpaper instead of live wallpaper but to my surprise i came to know that Live wallpaper is running in the background which is still consuming my battery.
Battery is lasting for less than 24 hours.
help me to resolve particular issue.

Android smartphones are last for less than 24 hours of heavy use.
Solution: root the phone, remove bloatware and install custom kernel and custom ROM that fits your phone for better performance.

First, excuse me for my bad english. I'll try to said something and I expect would not to be an offense to you . . . It would to be easy to turn of the phone . . . no?
Of course I have to do something of this things, but If it's necessary to do all of them . . . it would be better to don't have a smartphone . . .

Juice Defender functions only if you have you phone a lot of time inactive . . . It functions turning of your conections in inactivity period and olnly turns it on in few intervals depending of your profile . . . It's very good, but if you want your cell phone conected every time . . . this is not a solution . . .

This is true, but with patience and experience you can have your cell phone stable in a few time
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and I found a Rom with very long battery stability vs al other roms . . . I hope you to find yours!!.
Sorry for my very, very bad english!!

I agree 100%. Root and ROM help heal the battery issues.

You are using stock firmware or custom?
Hi all
Here are a few tips i would like to share wid u all. These tips will help u extract the maximum juice out of your xperias
Starting wid the simplest one
TIP NO 1 - ENABLE EXTENDED STANDBY MODE IN POWER SETTINGS
If u are on stock ics rom , go to settings, power management and check extended standby mode.
yes do it, this doesn't affects battery drain but enhance the standby time .
This helps to switch off wifi and data traffic when the phone screen is switched off for sometime.
Basic but most useful.
When this is enabled , u dun need apps like Juice defender or DS battery saver
TIP NO. 2 - DO NOT USE ANY APP KILLERS OR TASK MANAGERS
Most of us use task manager to kill apps running the background regularly.
But we may notice that most of the apps killed by task managers get restarted by themselves.
Thus all these app killers continue to drain battery and do the same thing all around,
These app killers will also make your phone laggy to some extent because of poor ram management
TIP NO. 3 - UNDERCLOCK
If u use your xperia only for basic purposes such as messaging and calls then there is no problem in underclocking.
800Mhz would be fine wid minimum or no performance glitches.
This not only relives strain on cpu but saves battery.
I myself have underclocked this and belive me 800mhz does not affects the performace of most of the games(if u play)
TIP NO. 4 - USE GOVERNORS
There is no defination for governors but u can say these are the engines that control the cpu frequency time to time
There are several governors present most commonly used being ondemandx , conservative and powersave.
1: OnDemand Governor:
This governor has a hair trigger for boosting clockspeed to the maximum speed set by the user. If the CPU load placed by the user abates, the OnDemand governor will slowly step back down through the kernel's frequency steppings until it settles at the lowest possible frequency, or the user executes another task to demand a ramp.
2: Performance Governor:
This locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency. While this may sound like an ugly idea, there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle.
3: Powersave Governor:
The opposite of the Performance governor, the Powersave governor locks the CPU frequency at the lowest frequency set by the user.
4: Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery. The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor. It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization. However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually.
go to this page to know more about governors
http://androidforums.com/xperia-mini-all-things-root/513426-android-cpu-governors-explained.html
For setting up governors (if installed) and underclocking use a free app like Antutu Cpu Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=en )
here are the governors for Xperia U only
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934749&highlight=governor ( thanks to AnDyX )
TIP NO. 5 - DON'T INSTALL APPS UNNECESSARILY
This does not needs an explanation. Just remember that when apps run in background , they consume battery. More the number of unnecessary apps running, the more faster is the battery drain.
Keep only those apps which u use frequently and if u are a rooted user, delete all bloatwares, FREEZE GMAPS AND TIMESCAPE IF U DUN USE IT.
TIP NO. 6 - CHOOSE NETWORK MODE AS PER YOUR NEED
Whether you are using WCDMA or GSM network or WCDMA/GSM , choose it as per your need.
If u are on the internet only for surfing then use GSM mode and switch to WCDMA only if u need to download.
This as per my usage has the greatest impact on battery life.
to select network mode , go to settings>more>mobile networks>network mode
While surfing only (xda ) i use opera mini app wid GSM mode enabled and its very fast .
TIP NO. 7 -SHUTDOWN ONE OF THE CORES USING AN APP "XCORE"
An app by xda member blievenhack can switch one of the 2 cores off thus saving battery
Thanks to blievanhack for app and jonathan for letting me know
Here is the post link for xperia xcore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057314
P.S. - charging your battery only when it is about to get exhausted belongs to old school now. Charge whenever u can charge
NONE OF THESE TIPS REQUIRES SOMETHING SPECIAL OR TECHNICAL TRY THEM AND U WILL DEFINATELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
I hope you like my guide, its not copy pasted , its not stolen from someone, its purely my experience.
If u find any discrepancy plz let me know.
Feel free to share your tips here and discuss your experience
Set refresh-time of app (e.g weather and news apps) to an reasonable value.
It does not make sence to update a weather widget every 5 minutes
You could also use xcore xperia. Most of the time you don't need that second core.

And you don't lose your connection? Hotplug-Govenor does the same and wenn you enable it u get network drop on SXP

I haven't noticed any drawback aside from a slight lag in cpu hungry apps. Network continues to work just fine on my p.
a good guide for all..........
Settings>Devs Options>BG process limit>2 or 3
This will use less ram and hopefully increase battery
:beer:
thanks for the guide. .
Extended Standby is good but breaks apps like Cerberus or any other internet based tracking system.
Re: {tips} [save battery] {all xperias}
I think our nxt series already has d hotplugging logic so wats d point in using xcore..
I dont intend to demotivate d developer bt I didnt experience any noticable change in battery wid xcore..
And imo if we jst use a suitable governor we can save significant amount of battery..
Plz correct me if Im wrong anywhere Im still a newbie here..

Hi guys! Used to have my phone had problems with the transition into deep sleep mode. I often tune but it often does not work, or bring a temporary result. I will advise you to use the program Deep Sleep Battery Saver Pro. When I started using this program , I felt the result. Phone began to sleep well. Saving battery was palpable.
Well, should be interesting to tell us what improvement you made with those settings.
