few phone calls.

one half hour viber call

a lot of navigation

bt, wifi, 3g data always on, push gmail and whatapp on

switching to test kernel nº 7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zangetsu2188:
Test1 kernel

My share of test1 kernel

3G/HSPA always on

No wifi, bluetooth

More on browser use

Signal reception set to WCDMA only

Thanks doom for this kernel.

EDIT

Additional screenshot of firmware and baseband :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks for reporting!

but u guys are not mentioning which firmware & baseband u are testing on...

kindly post screenshots of about phone with ur posts
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Duvel999:
hey Doom,

testing 6016, after reading big improvements..;)

it Really is :cool:

the Draining is over, lost 1% in 7 hours,

no wifi, 3g .. I was a sleep & so did my phone... LOL

firmware .62, baseband 64

SE Tweaked & Go Launcher

gonna test further & later screenshots etc.

Great Work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xtorm80:
great kernel given out so fast by sony this time, good :)

wait for your new kernel then, was kinda lag so i set back to original kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am at work right now...

will be home in few hours... will start compiling then...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
ur such a great guy, DoomLoRD!!

Just flashback the stock kernel, waiting 4 ur good news ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
Hi doomlord, quick noob question here, im rooted now using bin4ry's rootxperia.zip, later on can i just flash your boot.img kernel or do I need to reflash the stock firmware first?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
you just need to reflash the kernel, that's it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] YouZi:
Thank you, DooMLoRD! Great job =]

Just one question tho..

I had re-installed and set-up everything on the new stock un-rooted firmware... Does it mean that if I want to flash your new kernel, I will have no other choice but to redo every installation and set up everything again? since titanium backup dont work with un-rooted phones...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
No, you don't lose anything.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
new kernel ready... uploading...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Hi Doom :),

only a short question to one of the "coder kings" in here ;)

Is it possible to somehow enable the screenshot function on Arc?

It seems to be integrated by google per default since 2.3(?) but is not enabled on Xperia devices :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xtorm80:
waiting for the file

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i know i tested it before posting ;)

finally got the Arc from my bro... will try and add a lot of stuff to the kernel till i have the Arc with me (2-3 days ;))..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NiMH_999:
I answered my own question. Post removed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
that's good news, can't wait for the new other stuf we'll get :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
looking forward to the interactive profile instead of ondemand. It's cool thing? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
Flashing..... I will give u feedback asap.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:

Great Job DoomLoRD ;)

just wonder where is file init.d , i couldn't find it in /system/etc so I have to run script manager to start the script at boot :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rafuru:
i'm still feeling so slow :( !

On no frills i have "max freq: 122 mhz"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arcanixX:
my results

Here are my results for the #6016, in my Lt15a running Arconium 5.6 plus ZipItV7.

I made just one 15 secs call.

Few Whatsapp and SMS.

Some Wi-Fi and 3G.

Some gaming and some navigation.

SetCPU: 250- 1 ghz (default).

The BetterBatteryStats shows a lot of consumption in "Awake", especially a lot for "deleted_wake_locks" which I guess is something from the kernel, and there's an alarm called "com.sonyericsson.android.server.dormant" with 10.944 wakeups!!! :( I guess DoomLord will take a look at the log and let us know what's going on :)

I'd like to keep helping. Let me know please :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
DooMLoRD, can you please confirm me are my reports and results OK (helpful)? I mean are they giving you the informations you need or I need to add something more? I am using XPERIA MOD v4.0 ROM and the newest Baseband .64 and I will add that info to my future reports...:)

Thanks...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Refer to this post:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
Sorry. I've forgot.

Its the latest .62 firmware, with the original baseband.

You can see all details en the screenshots from any of my earlier reports :-)

Sent from my Tam Tam using Forum Runner
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
WIFI sometimes keeps device in "Awake" state... as Iris told me some time back "deleted_wake_locks" refers to wake locks used by WIFI...

as for that android.server.dormant, Iris already explained that its related to fast dormancy and depends on ur carrier... she has posted a workaround...

@Iris

may be u should add this info related to wifi and fast dormancy in ur thread?

please continue testing... i am going thru all reports and trying to make sense of it all...

@ALL

kindly add the "About Phone" screenshot while posting reports... that way i can correlate the setup which u guys are using...

i want some volunteers...

kindly test this:

test kernel #6016 on baseband -36 (with corresponding libs installed)

test kernel #6016 on baseband -56 (with corresponding libs installed)

test kernel #6016 on baseband -64 (with corresponding libs installed)

basically i want to know what effect is the baseband having on the same setup...

do testing for a day or two on each baseband... report normal & overnight usage separately...

also some info from my testing:

tested kernel #5016 on FW .62 (with accompanying baseband)

usage:

i had kept wifi ON initially and it sucked the battery down (20%+) in 5 Hrs :( after i disabled it i switched to 3G/2G (3G perfered) data...

few calls

lots of incoming texts

BT/GPS was off

cpu min/max: ~130Mhz/~1Ghz

cpu gov: ondemand

i/o sched: deadline

undervolted by -100mV

so finally battery was down 39% (100% to 61%) in 22 Hrs 44 min

though that initial WiFi draining battery could bias the result

had briefly connected to PC to push some files to sdcard and that why the "charging" indicator is shown in advanced battery graph... so didnt take screenshots of better-battery-stats as they might have got mixed up... also if u see closely the advanced battery graph shows signal loss (RED color band) for some time, this was causing rapid battery drain as is evident from the slope of the battery curve during that "no signal" period...

in anycase i think the battery life has considerably improved...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Yes I am quite aware of those 4 but as I always use these it's the most interesting case.

As I wrote i had 65% down in 24 hours which was what I normally had in 10 hours. I always had to charge twice a day. Included in this is with an hour of heavy use.

20 hours after charging yesterday I am now @ 45% (12% 8 hours over night) - that is very good.

I'll upload results later to day.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
Well, I had WiFi ON almost all the time...:)

I needed it, so I assume that's why it was eating my battery...:(

This is ProfiMail app from Market. I use it for Mail and with that app I use PushMail option so that is the reason it is so much ON.

This is app Quick Settings from Market and it is a easy way to change my settings. It has option for vibration (Haptic Feedback) when I choose some of the options and that may be the reason for this. I use it very often for changing any of my settings.

I assume this is used by my App Alarm Klock (again from Market)...:)

And this app is Battery Monitor Widget PRO (again from Market).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u have lots on apps running in background....

the problem is each of these apps keep waking the kernel/device from deep sleep very frequently... thats why ur battery is going down so rapidly...

generally most of these third party apps are not fully optimized to use proper wakelocks... this is a very well known issue among Market apps... instead, if possible, see if u can substitute those apps by stock apps/google apps... generally the apps supplied by device vendors & google are optimized to conserve battery...

also increase the "sync times" to 15-20 mins (basically 3-4 times in an hour)...

ofcourse these are just my suggestions to help u get better battery life... u are obviously free to use whatever apps u like ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
Thanks for your suggestions...:) I know that I use a lot of apps that are running in background but I need them...:) Even with these apps in background the battery life is very very GOOD with these v16 test versions...:)

For Sync - I don't use Sync I just use Push Service for Mail and I can't give it how many times it will "sync"...:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Tested kernel #5016 on FW .62 (and accompanying baseband) for second day,

Usage:

over-night

1 phone call

few incoming texts

data on

3G

BT off

wifi off

cpu min/max: ~250Mhz/~1Ghz

governor: ondemand

i/o sched: deadline

Result: 45% down in 20 hours which is really good for my purpose as I just wish to have at least 30% left after 24 hours.

I forgot the Status dump at first so it is showing 51% as I am connected to my PC at the moment.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Is it #5016 or #6016?

Cause in ur screenshot it reads 6016

Btw thank you for ur kind donation!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
#6016

FW .62 BB .36

min 249Mhz - 1017Ghz max

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
cant see any of those images... why dont u just attach them in ur post?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Copy and paste - screenshot don't lie :p

You are welcome - for your great work, thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kicoi:
Here's mine: kernel #6016

-cpu: min/max : 250mhz/1,2ghz

Hello Doom here is my data you want to have as desired, which I hope will help further

;)

More Screenshots from (Better Battery Stats) here:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cx-11:
Sorry :confused: more Screenshots here :

http://xdaforums.com/album.php?albumid=5798

Like this and from BetterBatteryStats more

my foul.......................
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
WOW, your phone suffers from insomnia... :confused:

In the second screenshot, it's awake for a long time even though the screen is off.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cx-11:
Yes and all true with...... i know for me #4016 runs verry well im dont have a phonecalll and nothig still leave it there.............

i´m lost 13% battery in 20:40 hours maby the long awake comming from wakeup Alarm setting with two clocks?????

still the wifi weakness ............. weak signal with only two lines and then the phone gets its IP address from the router, then the signal goes canceled or the signal goes more thieves but on my phone the same with the V15 Kernel.............

Go Doom.......................
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
If you lost 13% in 20 hours, your battery life is nothing to be concerned about. ;)

I haven't noticed any changes in WiFi signal strength in any custom kernel I've used, could it be your router that has issues?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Duvel999:
Mine ;) on 6016

Great Battery Life

... Doom .. The Kernel Forever ..:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
That's really great, almost ideal! :)

What apps are you using the most? Also do you have Autosync and data on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LenAsh:
For those with "WiFi drain", remember to set WiFi off with screen and network notification to off.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
Here are my FINAL and FULL results for v 16 test 6 for last 20 hour:

0.3% per hour without WiFi, Backgrounddata off, pushmail off (with Screen OFF)

1,5% per hour with WiFi, BackgroundData and push mail on (with Screen OFF)

It's working really good..:-)

My settings were:

CPU freq min/max: ~250MHz/~1.4GHz (ARCS S)

CPU Governor: Ondemand

I/O Scheduler: deadline

ROM: XPERIA MOD v4.0

Baseband: .64

Here are also my screenShots and BetterBateryStatus .txt file...:)

I was using my device as usual...:)

Thanks DooMLorD...:) I will now test v16 test 5...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
That's very good battery life indeed!

I saw in your batterystats dump file that WiFi was keeping your phone awake for 3 hours while the screen was off and you got a 38.9% awake and 8.8% screen on. Also I saw the "deleted_wake_locks" entry in your kernel wakelocks taking second place with 2,5 hours.

That means that if indeed the WiFi is keeping the phone awake when it shouldn't and DoomLord comes up with a solution, we'll get EVEN better battery life! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
It's better Battery life than with Advance Stock Kernel and every test version I tried was satisfying and very good...:) I use a lot of background apps and do not expect that my battery lasts 3 days but with this Kernels it could last almost 2 days if I just use WiFi a little less...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kings888:

Test 3016

Tested #3016 for a few days...great battery life...

My Settings :

CPU = 249Mhz / 1401Mhz (ARC S)

Governer = Ondemand

FW = 2.3.4

ROM = .62 (Acronium 5.6)

Kernel = Test 3 (3016)

*Edited build.prop due to dormancy wakes

*CPU profile set on "In Call" 249Mhz / 921Mhz

*CPU Profile set on "Screen Off" 134Mhz / 364Mhz

Sorry I messed up with the "Since Unplugged" option in BetterBatteryStats as it resets the counter on reboot.

But battery life was great...the drain was 1% average every 30 minutes on idle but after some tweaks mentioned at * the drainage was 1% average for every 40 minutes now.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] adikgemok81:
Ok...on test 6016...but I wonder what is the "ccc" under Alarm options?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
For now V16 test 6 is the best performing and has the smallest battery drain, isn't it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
ccc is the Battery Monitor Widget.

It appears so.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
i have the same problem on #6016, I'm on arconium latest and 1.402/249 ondemand deadline. and when i checked battery use the bars are all crazy :( big leaps in battery is when the random reboot happened
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Don't overclock your phone, it's an Arc so it should go up to 1GHz.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Flashed test V16 test 6 now.

Running it @ 134-1401 with interactiveX

Undervolted all frequencies -75mV and some -175mV

But again we have more cpu speeds in IncrediControl than in CPU Spy and Set CPU.

Undervolted them, too...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
No need to as they are not going to be used.

Also DoomLord was very specific about testing with no overclock or undervolt.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Okay, then the work wasn't worth it :D

I know, but I just have/had time today, can't test as you guys do.

Just flashed the version that seemed to be the best untill V17 is put.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
why not? i thought the default for arc s is 1.4ghz?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You wrote that you have the Arc, so default is 1 GHz.

But yes for the Arc S 1.4 is the stock max frequency.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
It's okay then, don't worry.

Arc --> 1GHz

Arc S --> 1.4GHz

EDIT:

Iridaki was faster

Btw, noted my battery usage, 3 o'clock 56% and now 4 o'clock 55%

Phone layed around, just one text. Definitly an improvement here, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
no i didn't :p i said I'm on arconium :) sooo, why am i experiencing the random reboots? :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Maybe undervolted? I noticed I can't undervolt it 75mV wich was stable before. Now only up to 25mV. Allso the clock can't go higher than 1.3Ghz and before 1.6Ghz stable. Not a problem though, still fast enough if I get better battery in return (not yet convinced, but we'll see).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Which test version are you talking about?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
6016 seems pretty good on battery unless you use the GB sip client. The keypad becomes a top consumer and there is some sipservice wakelock. Long story short unless I disable sip on this kernel I get battery usage of 20-25% an HOUR. advanced stock and v15 did not see this extreme drain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
i haven't touched the voltages because i don't know how to :p haha! alright,.will try 1.3ghz :) but it's fine now at 1.4ghz. the problem only persists when I'm at my university. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adikgemok81:
I'm on acronium too...and on version 6016...no random reboots here...

Try reflashing the boot.img maybe that helps...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
sorry I'havent post the screenshots yesterday.

I'm still with V16 test 6 (second charge) and quite happy with the resaults

one thing I did notice.

yestarday I did have signal loses (with the same kernel) but today and for the first time in the last 3 firmwares signal los is 0% :)

I'm running for 16 hour now with litle usage and I have 69% battery left
