[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
From where did you downloaded this version? What are the install instructions?

You can follow the steps on the FAQ.

You must ask the developer to apply the battery patch, like DooMLorD did on his kernel.

Here you get old ICS compiled by steryman:

[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Can't without the source code released by Sony.

From the Sony blog: ICS beta is not for use on Arc/Neo - it's for Arc S, Neo V and others. But if you know what are you doing, you can try to flash "system" from ICS beta, and patched kernel ("boot") .62 to see if it works (do this at your own risk).

Use the patched kernel from zdzihu. :)

Yes. Anyway, I already consider the FuelGauge v1.6 the best precision we can get - it now takes in count the CPU clock/CPU usage.

I will be working on a last feature which someone have asked me some weeks ago, and then it's job done.

Hi bazoo,

I don't understand, for the first charge with your app, it's necessary to activate "Start Monitor" during the charge or after the 100% charge?

Thanks a lot for your help.

[Xperia Arc General] KingWickedd:
You can update through SEUS if your bootloader is locked.

If your bootloader is unlocked,then you must not update as it would brick your phone.Instead download a flashable file and flash it to your phone manually.

And you will also lose 0% battery fix.

You must install 0% battery-friendly kernel after you flash the .62 firmware. :)

Screen issue

Hi all.

I installed the workaround accordingly to the intructions given, and yes. My Arc (LT15i) charges normally. But someone calls me, the screen shuts off, and it became unresponsive to any keystrokes, neither home, back, etc.

I know the phone is up and running, because the volume contro still works.

Any advice? BTW I'm running DoomKernel v.19 and Arconium ROM v7.2

I also tryed the ICSLite ROM and happens the same, and wifi randomly disconnects so it makes the ROM almost unusable due to connectiong droppings.

Thanks in advance!!! ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Weldone:
?

hello, people, hi Bazoo! great work!

but I have a little problem using the .apk fix.

for example: I use my Arc till it discharges completely, or almost completely ( the phone still works). it may last for day or two. then I use the "start full charge" option and connect my Arc to the AC charger. sometime the phone gets a normal charge for 3:00-3:30 hours ( stops at 85-90%), but very often the charge stops at 20-30% of "battery". the reason written in the fix may be "stopped by hardware or battery full" or "calculated reach of 100". the phone in this case has the maximum 1 hour charge and discharges in less then a half a day.

but! almost every time when the charge stops at 20-30%, if I disconnect the phone, use the start full charge option again and. connect it back, my Arc gets a normal charge!! and I can use it for almost 2 days.

very tough to use my phone, because I have only the night to do a charge. a can't control the charge process while sleeping.

some thoughts about this?

* sorry for my English. thx

If you think you have the 0% battery issue, you can use the PwnKernel for Neo. That kernel have the 0% battery patch integrated. Dont forget to install the most recente FuelGaugeAppFix from this thread too, because the kernel patch needs the fuel gauge app to work properly.

:)

So, please press the thanks button, or support my work buying me a beer!

2 days is the expected battery duration for low use. The battery monitor says "stopped by hardware" because it's impossible to know the real reason for the end of charge event (the bq27520 chip, responsible for this info, is in an unresponsive state), so this way we must guess the end of charge reason

The normal expected message will be "stopped by hardware or battery full", because we expect the battery reachs the full state (real, not the % show by android) during charging after a 2 or 3 hours of charge.

When the charging stops at 20% this may be caused by the charging hardware not happy with the unresponsive fuel gauge chip. I can't map and debug this situation because I don't have a faulty phone, so until now I can't figure it out why sometimes the charger process stops early.

Besides this, I don't recommend leaving the phone on the charger during the night, because the way Sony was written the kernel drivers prevents the phone from entering Deep Sleep (low consumption CPU state) when connect to charger / USB, so the phone stays in a battery drain state after the charging finish, until the user disconnects the phone from the charger.

I recommend you test your phone with the stock ROM and stock patched kernel, to see if it's caused by a problem with your firmware installation. If you continue to get the problem, then maybe your phone have some type of defective hardware causing the issue.
[Xperia Arc General] worf_1977:
I'm using right now a generic world stock ROM (2.3.4), with DoomKernel v19. And the same happens since I started to put things out with this mess :mad:. I don't think it's a hardware problem. I believe that it is an issue with DoomKernel. Same with the kernel used in ICELite as i said before, who is a DoomKernel based one too.

Thanks anyway :D
[Xperia Arc General] Weldone:
thanks to you, Bazoo, usefull info. Still I think the unreasonable stop of charging is the last "pain in the ass" for all this workaround. if there will be a way to fight this problem, I'll be waiting for it. If not mentioning this, my Arc works fine and waits for android 4.0, which will be ready in April- May, hope there will be a patch for it in the future.

1) Thank you for a great solution to a annoying error. :)

2) Im having trouble figuring out how it works thou. :S

This is my way of handling the fuelgauge-app. (in steps)

1) Phone dies, red lights keep blinking (Battery empty)

2) I start the phone plugged in.

3) I launch the app and press "start full charge". (The phone re-charges during night.)

4) I wake up and check the battery-lvl and it says around 80% so I unplugg and plugg it in again to re-charge the last 20%. Then it says "charger is disconnected" or "Battery calculated to full or hardware stopped the recharge"ish.

So I can't recharge the phone for the last 20%? :S

Branded Xperia neo with 0% battery problem

hi folks ! first up a big thanks to Bazoocaze:D i have a branded neo which was sim unlocked but fastboot and bootloader locked. i had initially upgraded to 2.3.4 via se update but later i downgraded it to 2.3.2 via wotan server to debrand my phone. the debranding worked but my phone was screwed big time thanks to the darned fuel gauge problem. here are some ready pointers for noobs who are faced with a similar problem:

# for bazoocaze's solution to work you need three basic things to be present on your phone; Flashmode, Fastboot and Unlocked Bootloader.

# Flashmode is enabled on all phones by default (so far my experience goes, i have checked with three different xperia models). How to check: when connected with flashtool software, the charging led glows green.

# Bootloader is locked on all phones by default (SE does not want you to play around), however SE is now offering free Bootloader unlocking service for select models on its website but you risk losing your warranty. this method though will not work if you have a branded phone because of operator restriction. to find out, dial *#*#service#*#* on your phone, then go to Service info, then Configuration and look for Rooting status; if it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No', you know you have a branded phone with operator restriction.

# Fastboot is invariably locked on branded phones (if you have not already got it unlocked through a paid service that is). How to check: when connected with flashtool software, the charging led glows blue.

to enable Fastboot and get your Bootloader unlocked, you must use the full SETOOLS in 'signed mode' and with 'alternative bypass' method to do a 'full unlock' and you also need to employ the TestPoint method in conjunction, but all this requires credits which has to be purchased in bulk and moreover the SETOOLS software will not work unless you get a hardware dongle which has to registered with the SETOOLS team (does not make sense in investing if you are not a professional). the solution is to approach guy's who have this setup and will do it for you for a fee (there are guy's here on this forum who will accept the fees over paypal and then help you online). once you are through all this you can simply follow Bazoocaze's instructions to get your dead dodo back to life again. But yes, do not forget to thank Bazoocaze:)

P.S. exclusively and only for guy's in Calcutta (DON'T BOTHER IF YOU ARE NOT IN CALCUTTA), i can help you with the SETOOLS unlocking part for a nominal fee, pm me if you require any help.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

@ JediSchmedi

dont bother. the fuel gauge fix solution is based on the best estimate, it is nowhere close to the real thing. just keep in mind that you need to give your phone a good 3 hours charge, so if it stops midway just disconnect and reconnect the charger (set to 'Start full charge' after you reconnect and if you are through then 'Set full battery').

@ZeCosta

thanks for the new tip bro! it goes to show that you can learn so much from so many people!!!:):)

Helpfull Update?

Hi Dear Bazoocaze!

I haven't posted here nothing for a while cause your app runs very good on my arc although I have some problems with it.. Can you make a little update for your Charger Monitor ?

What I would like and probably many others too is chance to set custom batt % in Charger Monitor.. And option to choose, that if you want to set % to 100 after unplugging usb or not. That would be very helpful for me, cause sometimes (especially after gaming or long chat or even overnight charge) I do check my battery with multimeter and I have about 3.60 volts when gauge fix shows 100 % (after unplugging charger) ... and 1 % when battery actually is about 40 % full..

I Hope you can figure something out man :D

Any ideas ?

Here is the post content:-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

update.

"found" bq27520 firmware updater and firmware.

attached two archives script ( guess, need to have root )

506 is latest firmware ( for 2.3.4)

500 is older firmware ( for 2.3.2 ... )

however, i'm not sure in parameters - updater not output anything on my phone , but it contains strings

Code:

-d <device name>] [-f] [-n <firmware name>

help

force

guess, first need to flash bq27520_fw-0506_filever-0111_proj-anzu_golden.bqfs , then bq27520_fw-0506_filever-0111_proj-anzu_golden.dffs

well, after fast check executable,

1.

it accept options

-f

guess, that mean "force update"

-d

guess, that mean device name, it should be bq27520 or omitted.

-n

guess, that mean firmware name

2.

updater output all on syslog ( adb logcat )

so, what need to do:

get rooted phone and run

1. in separate window adb logcat

2. in separate window run script, check logcat output

perhap, we need to run fw update manually

for 5.0 fw :

Code:

/system/bin/bq275xx_fwloader -f -n /system/etc/firmware/bq27520_fw-0500_filever-0100_proj-hall_golden.bqfs

/system/bin/bq275xx_fwloader -f -n /system/etc/firmware/bq27520_fw-0500_filever-0100_proj-hall_golden.dffs

for 5.6 fw :

Code:

/system/bin/bq275xx_fwloader -f -n /system/etc/firmware/bq27520_fw-0506_filever-0111_proj-anzu_golden.bqfs

[Xperia Arc General] :
Yes indeed. Take look at this More Brainstorming. Here is some few word from that post

"It seems that the bq27520 controller is not responding to commands from the i2c bus in none of the expected addresses (0xAA/0x55 and 0x0B), so the driver is not loaded. The Battery Monitor on Android phones expects to read the value of the percentage battery through the information provided by the battery driver, in this case the bq27520 driver, which, as it was not loaded, results in a read error which eventually show 0% battery.

I think that there is NO WAY to communicate with fuel gauge chip through I2C and the only way to get our phones fix is to solder new chip on main board...
[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:
i dont know if this is relevant here but the Xperia S also has this same battery controller "bq27520 controller"
[Xperia Arc General] :
Hi DooMLoRD do you know which version of bq27520 is used in Arc or how ]to check that? Reason why I'm asking that is cause one guy from university here in my city can solder micro chips...

In Ti Website there is BQ27520-G1, BQ27520-G2 and BQ27520-G3.

They recommend to use G3 instead of G1 cause there is added some new features.

In change log from BQ27520-G1 to G2 i found interesting piece of text

"Note:

If a golden image created for another version of bq27520 is loaded into an IC running firmware version

3.11, the

IC

will become non-functional and must be replaced

.

Ensure all instructions in SLUA453A are

followed if upgrading ICs or converting a production line to bq27520-G2. The best practice is to generate a new

golden image (DFI file) for bq27520-G2. "

Does that mean that IC is gone? Not bq27520 chip??
