Hey Karpfenhai, can you please take a quick look??? I think it looks good but still would like your opinion.

[LIST=1]
[*] After continuously following the posts for the first time i have changed my Modem to LP6 and somehow i feel i got better signal than LQ6 & UHLPH.

[b] no clue on that, I'm old school, never change a running system.but I'm keen about the difference in terms of battery.[/b]

[*] What i do not want to change is Gmail Mail only Sync, Skype & IM+. Again this is only when i switch on 3G & then turn on sync. and after checking everything i turn off both 3G as well as Sync.

[b] based on you're dump you did a great job! Are you doing this manually or could you work out an automated solution?[/b]

[*] I dunno if this is important but if you look at the CPU states then my phone remains on 500 Mhz & 200 Mhz for an almost equal amount of time. Does this also affect the battery? Any ideas here.

[b] afaik hardcore our Samsung broke something in the kernel builds for 4.0.4 roms, therefore i still stick with phenomenal 5.5, you could try the intensive 0.27b version and see whether it persists.[/b]

[*] I am Using Phenom 6.1 Medium as Extreme is not supported and also have used the init.d script with governor as On Demand. Will do a similar test after 10% with Geroxx intensive and see which is better!!!

[b] obsolet to answer :)[/b]

[*] How do i find out how much time i have been on 3G??? is there anyway of doing the same with BBS?

[b] sorry, no clue either..[/b]
[/LIST]

Any scope of further improvement?

[b] see below [/b]

First of all your dump looks quite perfect and you do know it.. :p congrats

Some counts do look quite high. Does your ril match your modem?

Did you try "my"favourite KI4 modem too?

Now to your questions, see my answers in bold above.

Good luck mate.

I'm really puzzled about your issues.. :(

reading your dump once more..

Hmmm, hmm....

Have you seen the gs3 plummet thread posted some pages back?

Regarding the suspend backoff... After you flashed all those roms, any chance you took the battery out for some mins since then? I hate this voodoo..but sometimes.. U know.. :)

What about a fresh start with cm 10?

Sorry for being not helpful.

Never tried taking the battery out for any amount of time, but that isn't of much consequence anymore. I went to AT&T today and switch out my phone with a new one.

Since then I have not really streamlined anything and here is my BBS. It's not even close to perfect, but it does go into deep sleep, so I am happy.

So hardware then? Glad you got it sorted, hopefully the problem well not reappear...

Good Sunday to you!
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Hi, Thanks for the responses,

Modem does affect is what i keep reading a lot in quite a number of posts across threads, so i thought i will give it a try and looks like it was not a bad idea. It is something about Signal DB's. In XXLP6 i am almost continually getting good network coverage (Full green) & in LQ6 & UHLPH i was getting a 60 - 40 or 70- 30 ratio of full green and dull yellow. (I think this has something to do with signal strength).

I am doing this turning on of 3G & Sync manually. Meaning i turn then on using the 15 toggles and then gmail syncs. after i finish my work i turn both of them off.

Yes today after when ever i reach 5% or 2% i am going to go for Geroxx 0.31 and then repeat the tests and see how much it lasts. :) Will post my final results when done :)

Thanks. This Modem & RIL matching i am having issues. I am on Wanam 12.5 with XWLPX and it has Baseband LQ6. I tried the GetRIL App from PLay and it kept saying Modem & RIL do not match and now it used to always show as UNKNOWN RIL. So i went to the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881304 and got the combination CWM for LQ6 and flashed but still it was same no change. Can i Flash the Other Modem and RIL Combination CWM on my current Wanam ROM????

Yup after reading some of your posts mentioning this Modem i have downloaded the same. I will be trying it after i finish the Geroxx Test in LP6. Is it ok to flash KI4 on ICS 4.04???

Really but even though i am good but it is never enough if we keep looking at your post a few posts back with 5 Hrs screen time ;). But then again i am already crossing all my previous bests with current tests.
[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
I mainly use my phone for web browsing, txt-ing and placing phone calls. 95% of the time...

I have a pretty good knowlege of how to set up my Android for best battery life, but just recently, couple a days ago, i found out about this great app, and the power it gives to to see what is been waking up your phone while the screen is off and supposed to b in deep sleep...

In the last 24 hours i did this test, used my phone normaly, didnt have much calls if any, so mainly web browsing and at the end of it i had 1/3 of my batterty left, i know the screenshots and stats i post below are very good, i am asking if any of the veterans of this Thread would be so kind to review them, and possibly suggest any other tweaks i could make based on BBS.

I have really high audioout_3 and I have already disabled the touch sounds in settings. I think the culprit is whatsapp, as every time I send a message the time goes up but the weird thing is my phone is in vibrate mode yet audioout_3 still increases, any idea?
[BetterBatteryStats] kai_:
Thank you for your initial analysis. I've attached a cleaner dump with the latest BBS, hopefully in order to find out more specific issues. Please take a look again when you have time.

TIA

Okiez. My tests are over. I got my all time best of 3 Hrs 41 M Screen on time and with 3% battery remaining. Attached is my BSS with stats and links below the snapshots of Stock battery monitor. I have also added the links to my frozen apps list. hope it helps. Thanks.

No will proceed with test with Geroxx 0.31 & Karpfenhai's KI4 Modem. Will report soon.

What is whatsapp?

@all

Is Viber, when running, known to cause significant wakelocks?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
phone set to mute did not mean an app cannot play audio.. you "kill" the output but you didn't kill the app who played it, you need to disable the sound within the app.

This is valid for any other app too, turning the device to mute is not sufficient!

I have the same assumption as last time, the chat on thing is your main culprit

Maybe network coverage could be improved a bit but that's probably just some voodoo. :D

Note, he lost only 1%, don't point on this,i guess he unplugged right before taking the dump, in that case its quite normal, battery chemistry..

[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
I made it at the time i made the SS after the 24hr perioud, but i cant attach it to the lost from my phone.. no PC atm, it doesnt let me copy the txt and paste it either, any idias how can i do that so i can post it?

i also figured is best to do an idle test when i restart BBS right before gp to bed and leave it for 8hrs till the morning right? that would provide cleaner logs if anything is waking up the kernel.

just if someone know how can i post or attach the results of the dump file without PC please let me know,

Thank You

Don't you have a browser installed? :p

[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
Are you talking to me Karp?

I create the dump file, and when i open it i cant copy the info to paste it on here, i dont see an option to open it in Browser...what am i missing? is it another way to get the dump file info without creating the txt file? please enlighten me sir :confused:
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Man, why don't you open xda in a browser on your phone, login to the forum, pull up the thread and add the file the old fashioned way?

Or maybe wrap code tags around and paste the content here...

[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
I am on my phones Browser, i dont use the XDA app, i am logged in XDA, when i go to attach the file from drive from my phone the only 2 options i get are "Gallery" and "Music" i can not go to the files folder to attach it...

you ever tried to attach a txt file to XDA from you phone? no PC atm like i said earlier.
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
I'm used to add files with my phone via browser...

There are several apps possible to solve this, in my case Bluetooth file transfer does the trick, but afaik Es file explorer should work too, but you're right its a shame that Android cannot attach files out of the box..

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
Yeah not supporting the attachments of diferend type than pics and music sucks, also suppprting only FAT32 format on the SD card has to change... they have to allow NTFS soon, so you cam DW files larger than 4GBs, hopefully in the next OS or anytime soon...

Im out to work, but monday night ill charge my phone to 100% and unplug it right before bed, and in the morning before i start using it ill dum BBS file and just get to a PC and use cable to transfer it, then ill attach it or/and copy/paste its info here if you can look at it when you get a chance, i think im loosing 0.5% - 1% an hour idle, but im perfectionist, as probably a lot of people reading this Thread, so if theres anything i can tweak more i will b happy to do it :)

Thank You Karp for reading and trying to help.

Getting terrible battery life. I usually can't get more than three or four hours on moderate use. Here is a dump from today. I did not use my phone at all over the course of this dumb. My bag was in the car. 4G was left on. I don't have 4G where I live, so 4G couldn't be the culprit.

Thanks.
[BetterBatteryStats] BillGoss:
Re attaching dumps. Here's what I do:

- dump files

- zip them using file explorer

- upload zip to Dropbox

- paste Dropbox link in XDA post.

All done solely on my phone.

Hello guys.

I installed Apex Launcher over the stock TW on SGS II and I believe that battery drain considerably increased.

On stock I had up to 5% battery usage over night with all off (BT, WiFi, Data, Screen etc.) and with Apex it's even up to 30% usage over night.

I installed BetterBattery Stats but I don't really know how to read the stats and how to compare battery drain between TW launcher and Apex.

I have a root, allowed BBS the root access.

Could you please advise how to compare the stats?
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Hey there, first of all, its not apex, I'm using it too and i can gain easily 2 days standby with +5 hours screen on time.

Second, read the first 3 posts from this thread with care, especially post #3, it should answer all questions, if not, don't hesitate to ask further.

Last, post a valid dump and you will get help.

Regards

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Yup Apex is surely not causing any drain and even i am using the same and have got 2 Days standby and almost 80% of Karpfenhai's screen ON time.
[BetterBatteryStats] bigkaz:
Hi All,

Great app! Really happy that I bought it it already helped a lot but still the drain is much higher that expected.

Here is the dump file: http://bit.ly/UyiYxD and I will appreciate any help finding out the killer! I suspect that CyanogenMod 10 may have something to do with it.

Thank you very much and best regards
[BetterBatteryStats] drahmed86:
ajust wanna know which is more battery draining screen on time or voice call time???
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Hi there,

Looks like you have Maps wake ups. Did you follow the first few posts wherein it is mentioned how to adjust maps wake-ups using Autostarts / Gemini apps. Try it. It does help a lot in minimizing the awake time. this is just a small input from me. I am sure soon you will get more serious advises. :)
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Thx Hilmesh for the first analysis, @bigkaz to get a better picture its recommended to produce and post an idle Dump,otherwise its hard to divide active (wanted) from background (overhead) activity.

Thx.
[BetterBatteryStats] bigkaz:
Thank you both! I already froze the maps and worked with Gemini and LBE a bit so as soon as I gather necessary data I will be back for your analysis.

Regards.
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
LBE? I had it a long time ago. I have had problems after some usage and then let it go. Like Karpfenhai says get an ideal dump, so that he can better advise a course of action and just somewhere in the corner of your mind keep LBE as if required get rid of it.
[BetterBatteryStats] drahmed86:
strange!!! NObody knows which is more battery draining SCREEN ON time or VOICE CALLS time????
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
How could this question be answered????

Scenario1:

You are on call, the next aerial mast is right visible to you, your phone needs 12 ma to gain a good signal. you can talk ain hour, you will loose 10 % Battery..

Your screen is on, you are playing the latest high performance 3D Action adventure, your screen produces 30 frames per second, your CPU runs on its limit, you will loose 25% battery within 30 mins ...

Scanario 2:

Your device can barely get a signal, your phone needs it full power to hold the line, you will loose 20 % Battery within 30 mins ...

Your screen is on, you have opened an PDF, you only read it, your backlight is set to low, you will loose 10 % / hour..

Start Thinking ... no offense ..
[BetterBatteryStats] drahmed86:
huhuhuh srry for botherin' u with this nooby Q but as i see most of u use the screen on time as one of the criteria for battery life that's it.:D
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Yeah, thats why also cpu states and phone on is embedded in BBS ;)

To get the whole picture, not only the tiles ;)

Here its my current result, take it as incentive :cool:
[BetterBatteryStats] Noed:
And what did you do while 6hs screen on?
[BetterBatteryStats] Hilmesh:
Very nice :)
[BetterBatteryStats] brbbX:
Hi there

I'm using Omega 27.1 + Phenomenal Extreme, and getting around 2.5% battery use per hour, and I wish to make it lower (I heard some people can get 1%/hour)..

I'm posting here some screenshots of my BBS, hoping someone could help me interpret them..

It's pretty odd that facebook and gmail kept my phone awake for so long..

I have facebook sync set to off, and refresh interval to "never"..

Anything else I could tweak? Maybe saving a longer log?

Thank you
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Without a dump you will not get support, please read #3 how to do a good one ;)

usual Stuff, Playing Sudoku, reading XDA plus other forums, browsing, Email, watching P**n... Sometimes SMS and calls.. Note, im not cheating.. But i use Screenfilter almost the whole time.. indoors..

No need to explain myself, others can reproduce the results.

Read my sig , you may find some enlightment..
[BetterBatteryStats] Noed:
Sure I believe :)

Just trying to get mine better.

Screenfilter you use is this one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

Or some ROM/Kernel feature?

Thanks
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
hey there, your dump looks quite perfect but also a bit weird..

Could you update to the most recent version of BBS and provide another one?

Sorry .. :D

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Yeah, the haxor one, i like it manually, others are recommending LUX instead but its up to you ;)
[BetterBatteryStats] hristopelov:
Sure, and thanks for looking at it, i updated to the last version of BBS, tonight ill do the same idle test and tomm morning will post the results if you can analyse em for me real quick...

only thing i can see and wonder if it can b disabled is the alarms wakes... i have disabled calendar synch and dont have any alarms, but that is probably some google framework feature that is normal to be running, let me know, and new info will b posted tomm.

Thank You
[BetterBatteryStats] jelle2503:
just wondering, is it normal for superuser to grant bbs root access each time i wake up phone?
[BetterBatteryStats] yungskeeme:
Can someone tell me what this has to do with? I've frozen and disable Google Talk. That's what I thought it was
[BetterBatteryStats] xelra:
That's what I thought when I saw that result of yours.

Lowering the brightness of my screen is something I am not willing to do.

Like you, I've also arrived at a screen off standby time of close to 100 hours and pushed the screen on time to 4 hours by under voting 50 mV and what I think is the most important factor:

Since my phone has an OLED screen, I've set the wallpaper to black and am also using e.g. the dark blue skin with tapatalk, which has 100% black as background. On the OLED screen black pixel do not consume power. This has pushed my screen on time dramatically.

I try to use pure black backgrounds where ever possible.

BTW, the above mentioned result I have while being connected to 5 IM networks via IMO, using WhatsApp, push with GMail and calendar and on WiFi.

I hope this helps someone in getting better battery life without compromises. I've always tried to push battery life without using any alternative apps or abstaining from anything, most importantly the brightness of my screen. ;)

(For the interested insiders that also have a GS2: I use ParanoidAndroid 2.17 with stock kernel, which is basically CM10)
[BetterBatteryStats] Karpfenhai:
Depending on your Setup yes, but you can disable the toast within the superuser app, BBS will ask for superuser if you are using the "Since Screen Off" functionality, if you dont, BBS will ask only once after each event (Unplugging).

Its imho related to the internal Messaging system of the service framework and you cant get rid of it, otherwise the different embedded services (checkin, Market et cetera) will not longer work. Its just bad naming but essential for the system, it has nothing to do with Gtalk itself (afaik)
[BetterBatteryStats] yungskeeme:
very bad naming lol...thanks
[BetterBatteryStats] kevindd992002:
Are you using Note or S3 to get that kind of battery life?

What is Screenfilter and WhatsApp?
[BetterBatteryStats] gollyzila:
Here is my battery stats dump (Dropbox link). I disconnected my phone at night and dumped the file in the morning. I tried to do as much as I could understand, but there are a few things I need help with.

These Tasker Alarms have me stumped. Anyone know what they are?

There are a lot of location wakelocks and alarms but I've already disabled Maps autostarts with the Autostarts app like before. It probably is Google Now but I have everything disabled in it except for weather, and even then I give Google Now a manual location. Anything I can do besides uninstalling Google Now?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[BetterBatteryStats] It_ler:
A screenfilter is an app for changing the settings of the screen/display ... usually it is used to lower the brightness (even lower than the lowest brightness level of the system settings).

And WhatsApp is an instant messaging app (similar to Google Talk, Skype, etc. ... but no video calls), registration is made by an SMS and your mobile phone number.

Chat and files are transfered via internet connection ... good when you have an internet flat or often wifi/WLAN connection.
[BetterBatteryStats] otakuedgar:
Hi guys, I've followed the first post and did a dump to file as you explained.

Both Kernel Wakelocks and Alerts are populated.

I've attached the dump file, could you please take a sneak peek at it and advice what I could do to improve my battery life? I have a hard time running a day without having to charge it multiple times just to keep the phone alive :)

I am running Jellybam AOKP with Siah kernel (newest versions for both) and I have some apps that I never use frozen via TB.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
