Any ideas or advice?

I've previously owned G1 and Desire as well as the wife having various Android phones. I got the O3D on launch day (SIM free)

I live in a strong 3G area (O2), I have wifi on and set to never off on sleep, I have GPS on 24/7 (as I did with my previous phones without this extreme battery issue) as I use Latitude and things to track my cycling twice a day during weekdays (20 minutes at a time). Screen brightness is at 45%

I started with this issue a week or 2 ago (can't pinpoint exactly), yesterday I did a system restore and wiped everything but it's no better today.

Not really done anything different with the O3D than with my Desire or G1 in the settings.

see the screenshots below from this morning, no cycling done, just woke up, unplugged, checked emails, Google+ and Facebook

The phone is very laggy, like the CPU is always in use compared to a few weeks ago. It's on the latest firmware for the UK (SIM free), it's rooted but has stock ROM.

I have a 2500mah battery too and that lasts around 6 hours maximum.

I don't want to use apps like juice defender as I want to use it as a smartphone (rather than telling it when to download or connect to the web), I want emails when they arrive and things like latitude running in the background 24/7, everything that worked fine on my previous phones and the wife's phones and my brothers phones.

Screenshots and list of installed apps below.

Since the screenshots I've used the phone to track me to work on my bike (Cardiotrainer, 17 minutes) and my battery is under 15% now

"Partial Wake Usage" is showing a very similar story to screenshot 1, "Android System" taking up a lot of usage.

Also, if I "charge" from a USB port in a PC, I lose about 1% an hour rather than gaining charge! (PC at work or home)
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
There's not a lot you can do to preserve battery life if you have wifi, gps etcetera on constantly but there are some things that will help, though I can't say how big a battery saving you'll get.

You can root your phone and then download a free start manager or task killer, set it to kill any tasks that start up which you don't use (for example on my phone the Nova game starts up even though I don't play it). This frees up your phones ram and also as some apps use your data connection or timers will have some impact on making your battery last longer before you need to recharge it.

If you don't use sms for multimedia messaging, and use wireless connection to use internet and browse android market you can switch off the phones ability to send or receive such data over the cell phone network (on a stock UK rom this is done by pressing the top far right on screen button when you have opened the notification window).

Looks like theres something preventing your phone from sleeping. The only time ive ever seen mine burn through battery that fast is constant 3d gaming. I normally get around 18 hours out of my stock battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
It seems like the wifi is constantly scanning even when connected to a network. Wouldn't this be big drain on the battery and is there any way to stop it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
It must be that it is only constantly scanning when on that settings page, because it isn't a big drain on battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CEOGUY:
I notice it is also scanning for wifi even though im completly connected, but im still getting great battery use out of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
I posted this same issue to the Sprint forum and a tech responded that he will add it to the bug list for the next MR as he could see it too. Not sure if is scanning when not on the settings page, but at any rate, it seems like it should stop scanning if it has a hold of a network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
How do you check for this? May be relevant in my case...

Note, i posted this in the battery life thread - suspecting a wifi issue of some sort:

Edit:

Note how the precipitous battery drop corresponds to when wifi was turned on in the morning.

I can't believe this would be simply coincidental.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HotInEER:
I have that issue to, but great battery life. My biggest concern is horrible 3g speeds. My wifes evo does not have this issue.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AlphaVFR:
I noticed the same problem. I swear it also increases my Android OS usage. I get about 12 hours of battery life with 2 days of sample size.
[XPERIA X10 General] Skumtomten:
Hi there,some of you recognize me,some of you don't (shame on you :D) However, as some of you knew,I had my birthday today,and I got a brand new SGS2. I will give my little brother my x10. I will still pop in now and then, and maybe working on my rom now and then, but for now,I have a new phone to get used to :) I should be finished with the new version of my rom in a couple of days,maybe tomorrow
[XPERIA X10 General] nugget1993:
Have fun with all that dual core power! Use it wisely hope to see you around here still though cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Congrats man!

Getting a new phone is an awesome feeling.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
belated b'day to you, and nice, I'm also aiming for SGS2, for the past year and a half, X10 has served me well (now hoping to be able to grab SGS2 anytime soon)
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Looking forward to new ROM!
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I just got 2200 on quadrant on my inc s, not overclocked and on a custom sense 3.0 ROM.

[XPERIA X10 General] Cat_On_Droid:
Here is the latest Xperia PLay Firmware,avalibile for you to download ! :)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XHT14MR

What does this have over Neo and Arc?

The Free official Sony-Emulator, PLaystation pocket app and a free game to boot :eek: (Crash bandicute)

Big Note: For you to "TRY" and enable On-screen controls,go To SD/Android/Data/sony.playstation.com.NCEA00344_1 ,find and navigate to "UCC folder" AFTER you installed updates on your phone! (if not possible to update the game,i will give you the zpak)

IN the "UCC" folder there are 2 files metadata.xml and preferences.xml

preferences.xml can be edited with a web editor,all you have to do is put them to true/false and save it :D

Another nice app? Wave Lite Wallpapers (PS3) and PSP screen!

*Not sure about this app and how its gonna work on X10: But there is a nice Launcher for Optimized XPlay games (like dead space,age of zombies),ITs called Xperia Play.

CANT install APPS?

If you are trying to install it by simply pressing install, that will not work, you would have to use either ADB, Terminal Emulator, or push it in the system with an update.zip
[XPERIA X10 General] DiKeJ:
Yeah, why not? Do this my friend :)
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Yes it will be great:)

[XPERIA X10 General] notkodysmith:
thank you, but i have a question

how do i move these items over to use on my verizon xperia play? i want timescape ui, but it wont install on my phone. can you help me out?
[XPERIA X10 General] maddes1402:
Am I right that this fw is the only one with automatic brightness in the settings?

Could this be ported to X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cat_On_Droid:
yes its the one with auto brightness

try moving the system apps to system/app, maybe that will work? or if not then you would have to use either ADB, Terminal Emulator, or push it in the system with an update.zip
[XPERIA X10 General] homeworlder:

https://market.android.com/details?id=to.doc.android.ipv6config

On my phone (SE x8, rooted, GingerDX) it complaints about a missing ip binary. But this doesn't make sense. When I type "ip" in a console, it works, because busybox seams already integrated in my custom rom. I also verified, that it's in one of the directory's it checks the ip binary for. (Normally I have no problems with any apps that require root.)

Did someone get this app working?

What are the benefits?

Have you got any servers running on 3g (which is normally NATed)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Elmi:
The button is so freaking sensitive. Camera took 186 pictures of my ceiling last night while I was sleeping because the pillow on the seat barley touched it. Last night I put my feet on the table and from the vibrations the camera turned on and took pictures. One point it came on and I switched to video camera to see what it's doing, and with out pressing the button the video camera would start and stop recording. I got the phone yesterday :-( I put on the pattern lock to stop it somehow but the screen still turns on and I know from my G2 that it will kill the battery no matter what you do on Android. Any help?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
just replace it mine isnt sensitive at alll
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Interesting...I haven't had this issue with the camera button.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Elmi:
oright cool, thanks guys. Thought it was the whole "phone built around the camera" concept that they thought it was a good idea to be able to take picture quickly. Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] giangdude:
Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with your phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
One of the MyTouch 4Gs issues is one of it's features..

you can activate the camera, even with the screen locked by holding down the shutter button. Sure it's good for those quick shots, but it's giving you an issue.

However to have a button that sensitive is not normal, please return it and get yourself one that works.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
OP, just to be clear, which button are you referring to when you say, the camera button?Do you mean the silver one on the bottom right side of the phone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Elmi:
Yeah I hardly touched it and it would start the camera. I'm back to using my G2 till T-Mo loyalty sends me another new one. Thanks for the help guys.

My rule for wifi is to turn off when screen if off. I notice that my mail is still coming thru when the screen is off.

I'm getting a lot of battery drain. Anyone know what I can do to solve this issue?

What do you guys use for the rule of wifi to reduce battery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonami:
what rom/kernel are you using (you should always mention thse when asking a question like this fyi). revolver just fixed this problem yesterday, try updting your rom/kernel....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipertec:
I'm using the latest stock rom..I think 3.2?

How do you update the stock rom or solve this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonami:
Root and flash a custom rom. Revolver 3.2.1 fixed this issue i think...

Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinH:
I am on stock 3.2 and no problems. Have you checked the battery info. That is the best time to check how much time the TF has been on and how much time wifi has been on.

It's true that wifi doesn't disconnect as soon as screen goes off. It maybe takes some minutes for wifi to actually go off. Also, if I am using any app that uses wifi (like radio streaming), wifi won't turn off.

Anywy, most of the time wifi will go out just a couple of minutes after screen goes off. Check settings, running apps and battery stats.

Regards.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
The stock rom is set to time out 10 minutes after the screen is turned off I believe. The revolver rom now has an option in revolver parts to set how long till the wifi is disabled.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
There are several apps that keep wireless and/or GPS alive after screen is off. This is due to the way the OS handles apps after you stop using them. Try turning off TF then restart and without running any apps, let is sleep. Then check to see if wireless went off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4444106:
same issue

Hey, I'm having a similar issue.

I'm on a B70 running revolver 3.11 and a stock kernel and I've noticed my wifi intermittently toggles the disconnect policy to "never" instead of "when screen is turned off".

I thought it was part of the custom wifi timeout from revolver parts but according to battery usage in settings (and massive battery drain) the wifi isn't actually being switched off when the device isn't in use (tablet idle rarely shows top of the list).

I've tried flashing new roms and kernels but haven't been able to work out the specific cause of the problem or how to fix it. I would have posted in the revolver discussion to find out how the wifi timeout is managed as this might have given a clue but alas I am a noob :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Honeycomb is not good at keeping wifi off with the screen when other apps request a connection

Grab "Auto Airplane Mode - by Don" from the market free and it does exactly that, screen off = radios off, screen on = radios on
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Well my TF wifi off with screen off work except it work too good.:D

It work but after it goes to deep sleep it does not want to turn back on ( would need a reboot of TF for it to work again) so I set Wifi sleep policy to never and use Auto Airplane Mode.:D

Downloaded this app and it works a treat. I'm a bit anal so I'll keep trying to investigate why the system isn't doing what it should but its nice to have something to save the battery in the meantime.

um using gdx...i'm facing some wifi issues...whneva i turn on my wifi i do not see any available networks(but i knw there are few available networks)...but the status shows connecting(!) and after a few moments it shows disconnecting. is this a hardware problem? because i faced same thing in gintonic.se...i deleted wpa_supplicant.conf too...but no result :S heres the snaps...

when i connect to the wifi ...

a moments later

plz give me a solution guys!! thanx in advance..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] inuyasha84:
I've got the same problem on my X8 now... did you manage to solve it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] babywarez:
For those that still having that problem, you have to DELETE one of the networks saved in the phone, if it doesn't works delete ALL the networks and the phone will automatically start searching and connecting again, I dont know what exactly brings that problem to the phone but I think that is happening when we access and save to many networks. The problem is present on Gingerbread ROMs.
[Wildfire General] Mipery:
Hello, im going to updgrade my wildfire's CM7 RC1 to nightly 203 (or newer if i dont get it done today), so do i need to wipe anything from recovery before flashing? I know u dont have to when upgrading a nightly to newer nightly, but how about this case?

And do my personal settings, data and apps stay after i flash nightly?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, Just flash over the RC. Everything will remain intact. (But, Just take a Nandroid Backup before doing this, in case the new Nightly turns out to be unstable)
[Wildfire General] Mipery:
Thx for fast answer :D
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
What 3xeno said. I flashed a nightly over my stable release version with only clearing dalvik and cache (not even sure if this is nessecary) and all my settings remained. However I have heard from other people that sometimes this can cause instability issues, so if your new ROM is very unstable, it might be a good idea to do a full wipe and start over from scratch (factory reset) :)

I have unfortunately found my self in a boot loop and can not at all find a way to boot in recovery. Not the stock android one but the green one by Koush i think? Is there a way i dont know about or am i screwed and have to SBF?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Pull your battery. Plug into a wall charger (without battery) and power up. Not sure if this still works, but try it nonetheless.
[Motorola Droid X2] mjdavis871:
Try mistawolfes idea first...if that didnt work ,you may need to boot into stock recovery, wipe data, and reboot...if its successful, you will need to re install bootstrap and flash a backup if you have one. If it doesn't work, then you will have to wipe data and sbf.

Been there myself...hope it helps.

[HTC Sensation] n0oblettz:
I got my sensation last week. It's rooted, and clockwork is already installed on it. I had CM7 on it for about 5 minutes, but I liked the Sense UI better so I just went back to stock because I didn't have time to look for a SENSE Custom ROM.

I'm wondering if it's worth it to go off stock and go to a Custom Sense ROM? I saw Android Revolution HD, and I think the only step I'm missing is that Radio S-OFF.

Anyways, is it worth it to go to a Custom ROM or just stay stock? It's pure preference probably, but pros, cons kind of thing I'm leaning towards yes because I like that ARHD 1.5ghz oc. =)
[HTC Sensation] frederikh:
Im using ARHD 3.6.0 and im loving it.

Better battery, snappier, plus you can flash themes and mods :)

I would definitely go with any custom rom over stock.

If you rooted with revulutionary you are good to go (already have radio S-OFF)
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i like Sense 3.0 but CM7 have more performance
[HTC Sensation] wolfpack612:
just got my sensation yesterday and played around all day in stock just to get a good feel for it before going to a custom rom which was a definite. i went for android revolution and it's definitely snappier. apps load faster, and the ones that access the web seem to do it faster too.
[HTC Sensation] n0oblettz:
I didn't root using the methods of revolutionary. If I want to install Revolutionary how would I go about it? I can safely install CM7 already. I still have to do that Radio S-OFF don't I?
