SetCPU or no frills CPU controller
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
i don't have setcpu or anything like that installed couse we on wolfs rom don't need it...

i have just installed some other widget to monitor cpu freq and it seems that is set to ondemand and freq are changed if needed but i don't know why is my battery beening drained a lot over the day, i don't use phone that much, mostly for sms, few calls...

here is the list of apps installed on phone http://www.appbrain.com/user/frankie12/apps-on-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10

brightness is set to 0%, background data if off and 3g is off

could it be related to which baseband we use??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] goRt:
That begs the question "why ask the question in the first place then?"

sorry i have edited my post ;)

I'm on bb58 v003 but stock .435 (JIT2, go launcher) and don't have a drain issue.

So that would point to your ROM or ARC launcher???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
i am on v001 also bb 58, but the others with the same rom and launcher don't have this problem...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Astral07:
i've checked battery usage and i have the following:

Display: 51% (my brightness is set on aprox 30-35%

cell standby: 16%

phone idel: 14%

android system: 8%

dolphin browser: 3%

wifi: 3%

beautiful widgets: 2%

SE home: 2%

Now the weird thing is the display, because 99% of the time i have the display OFF, and while it's OFF (phone idle), i'm loosing aprox 3-4% per hour (i'm testing now, to get a more accurate result)

also, i've tried the overclock widget and my CPU scales normally, from 246 to 998
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
I think your display usage is normal, even if it OFF most of the time,

it still eats the most battery! I have mine set to the lowest brightness possible

and still if I have it on, let's say, 30 minutes per 3 hours, it goes on top of battery stats!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
hahahaha...

That is awesome.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Astral07:
yeah, you're right

i've just left the phone idle for 1h and i got 3% loss, that's not that bad but i remember before even on 2.1 i had 1-2% los per hour, now it's almost double

still, it get's me through the day so it's all good, i charge over night

now i'll redo the test without the module and without setcpu, i'll also take a look at your apps, thanks for the link

EDIT: i redid the test without the module and i lost 4% in 1h

so my verdict is: the module indeed works and it will save you about 0.5-1% juice on per hour basis when phone's idle

thanks to the devs!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zabihjan:
i used all three versions, version 1 made my phone laggy. version 2, started force closing some of my apps. version 3 swicthes off my phone without my knowlege when not in use.

i am on baseband .49, tripnmiui froyo and if i leave my phone idle overnight with lowest display and data turned off, i only use maximum 5%. when i use the phone either for calling or internet, i use 5 to 10% per hour depending on what i do.

i am not a gamer, so i have not tested my battery for playing games.

tweeting kills my battery big time on Pulse News. otherwise i am happy with my phone. i wont try this undervolting again unless something concrete comes up.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yuszx:
i installed v001 via xrec

run lsmod in terminal and didnt see x10uv

run insmod /system/lib/modules/x10uv.ko in terminal

run lsmod again and x10uv is live

10 seconds later i got wlod

in on wolfbreak CM6 v061, bb .54

BTW, nice work!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tssi:
Help, I must be doing something wrong.

I have install and uninstall the V3 many time. Every time, there is a major lag most of the time is not responsive. I have to pull the battery in order to re-install/uninstall this.

I'm running out of idea, can anyone help?

Thank in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Astral07:
@zabihjan, i think you need bb 54,55 or 58 to make it work

have you tried installing v1 or v2?

i suggest that you install v3, then boot the phone (it will become laggy and unresponsive), then take out the battery, and then boot up the phone again

this method worked for me, i didn't uninstall it the first time i got the lag, i just booted up again and it was fine, works great

also, which rom and baseband are you using?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
WB's CM 6.1.3

Bb. 52

Using v01,no problem

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
one question...

could battery draining fast be related to which baseband we use??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gurman13o:
I put v02 on my FreeX10 Beta 4 running on baseband 54.. And after a few seconds, my phone froze and turned off and wouldn't turn on until I took out the battery and put it back in. I tried using the uninstall_uv and nothing. NOT RECOMMENDED on my part.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] streamnlnl:
That i'm testing wright now!!

I had Trip ROM BB.49 and now i'm running the exact same ROM but now on .54 with the bbpatch.

I will give the test result. My phone is now charging to 100%.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
great, if u could please PM me for the results ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Astral07:
we all want to know the result :) post here...

@tssi - sorry it didn't work man, i don't know :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] streamnlnl:
I think the drain is gone on BB.54

I had leave him alone for a hour and my battery was still at 96%.

But before I made this picture I had my phone on at highest display (I was outside in the garden, in the sun.....). That is the reason that the battery dropped 3% in 15 min.

I had now V2, I will try V1 tomorrow (again) and report the different.

However, i haven't that much drain when the phone is of what I had before, but ~0% drain in a hour????????

No, that seems (yet) impossible for me now.

Tonight when I'm going to sleep, I will make sure that my phone is at 100% again, and will check what the % is tomorrow.

The previous time, it drained my phone completing empty.

So i'm curious ;)

I hope this info helped some people.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] twerg:
phone on flight mode last night as I slept for 7 hours, 40 percent battery drain. not good. looks like now Lookout might be a problem, shows that its running but I can not open the application, I just get a black screen. gonna try uninstalling it and hope that my phone will then go to sleep mode, been a day now that since been in sleep mode...

V002

WB V006

BB .58

Left my phone unplugged when I went to sleep at 3AM with battery at 98% got up at just after noon and battery was at 94%. I got great battery life before and use a lot of other things to help but this definitely seems to be working fine for me with no lag problems except my keyboard seems to slow down and lag sometimes now but it could be unrelated.

i am doing some testing too...

i put bb 54 instead of 58 on wolfs rom and v001

charged my x10 over the night and unplug it at 7am

i'll use my phone as i use it every day and get back with my first report around 12am ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] streamnlnl:
here are the result with BB.54,

It didn't drain my battery completely empty like the last time when I was on BB.49.

I have only chance yesterday the BB...

I had put my phone alone at 100% last night. And this morning when I look at it and I still had 88%. And I have used V2.

So in almost 8 hours, I lost 12%.

Still above the 1% at the hour, BUT it is under the 2%!!!!

I really don't know how my battery drain was without this. But i suspect it is a lot more!!!

So I think that the BB version is really important.

Tonight I will use V1. And hopefully it will reduce the drain even more :D

@ My_immortal..

Can I just use the uninstall_uv.zip and then flash the V1?

Or is wise to do something more for a better test?

thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] clarance:
I just flash unistall.uv via xrecovery

But the x10uv.ko still there.. or should I just delete it manually ??

I am on WB V061 ROM and it seem drain my batrey. So I decide to unistall the x10uv.ko
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ripp2003:
You can delete the module or, commented with a # the line in hw_config.sh

Hello!

You could leave it installed for 1-2 more charges, to see how it will go,

if it's not causing you performance issues! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] streamnlnl:
I noticed (now with this BB) no extra performance issues at all.

I will keep this for a extra few days on my phone.

See how it go...

But I think that after reading the most of this topic (and my last test), that the battery drain can be blame to the BB.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
so here is my report after 5 hours of use...

battery went down to 87%, i have send 28 sms, shoot a couple of photos, browse a little bit on wifi and make few calls

13% in 5 hours with all that... i think it's not that bad :)

i'll keep doing test all day to how long battery can keep up and get back with new resaults ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
i think so too that battery draining faster has something to do with the baseband, when i was on bb 52 i think that battery was beeing drained fastest, a little less fast on 58 and slowest on 54 (doing some testing today)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
maybe but i am testing it with diffrent bb and so far i have noticed that there is difference between bb regarding battery life

i have done this already and i can see improvements in battery life

Possibility for a v004?

@ My_Immortal and Nobodyatall

Would it be possible make a v004 that has the same settings as v003 but with the voltage at 1200 for the frequency 998400. Im on WB's latest using v001 and i dont have any problems up until i get to around 30% battery or so then suddenly if i use the phone heavily i get a WLOD, does any1 else have this problem? Im thinking it might be caused by the the low voltage at lower frequencies (WB modded his ROM so that at lower battery percentages the frequency is restricted lower... i think hehe). Sorry if what im talking about appears to be noobish but i am trying my best to learn and help the community! ;)

Thanks a lot to both of you!! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
Interesting report.

Though the uv is not working on my wb's cm rom,I noticed a small issue.

If I use the original battery,no reboot even the module is not loaded(only show loading when I excute command to foce load it),but if I use another battery with 1400mah(the battery from se is 1500mah),it sometimes reboot(just reboot,not wlod)

another 6 hours of use, battery is at 40%, again a lots of sms and little more than 20 min of calls, calls are using battery a lot, one call around 15 min dutarion battery went down 10%

so my results for todays test judging by me are prety good...

from 7am to 12pm with my normal daily usage battery went down 60% witch is good by me...

i think i would withstood for at least another half day with my usage + this night ;)

and i think that bb 54 is the best for better battery life... at least for me :)

With V002 on WBs V006 on BB .58 I lose just under 1% every 2 hours in standby.

And, yes, if you reinstall the ROM, the module is gone since it's placed in the /system, so you will have to install it again.

Is it the same thing?

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frankiefkit:
no it is not :) i had the same thing...

do it manually via root explorer...

-from the zip take the x10uv.ko and copy it on /system/lib/modules

-then go to /system/etc/hw_config.sh long-press on it and select open in text editor

-add the following line into the #modules section (should be near the top) after the last insmod command there: insmod /system/lib/modules/x10uv.ko

-save & exit

-delete the .bak file that Root Explorer created.

-reboot the phone and run lsmod in terminal emulator

i have done this with v001 and everything is working great and battery life has improved... i am also on wolfs rom...

V1 reboots when taking video.

V2 works perfectly. "Battery life = epic"

V3 gave some issue's with the camera preview stuttering abit. "Batery usage much higher when in full use, standby battery life still epic."

Once again. Thank you. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Yes, this is because the difference between v001 and v002 is the voltage in the highest frequency. Video recording stresses the cpu and hence the reboots with v001.

@nobodyAtall

hey i have an idea...

rmmod can be used to remove modules on-the-fly right?

so then we can have a sort of toggle switch / gscript code which can allow users to switch undervolt module ON (insmod) / OFF (rmmod)

what say?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
agreed. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Hey mate,

This might be doable, with some modifications to the module I think.

Did you try to rmmod x10uv? I think it should panic.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope havent tried yet... but i guess it would work right cause anyways we are inserting the module during bootup (insmod in hw_config)...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Well, for starters, insmod doesn't have any cleaning to do as rmmod does ;)

Additionally, removing the module means setting back the default voltages.
