Another battery drain thread....

The battery life on my UK S2 during the day is fine - from 8am to 5pm in the office it goes from 100% to 75%, with 3G on the whole time (no wifi, GPS or bluetooth). I check emails throughout the day but make/receive very few calls.

Last night I charged the phone to 100% then installed ZDBox, put the phone into Do Not Disturb/Airplane mode between midnight and 9am using ZDBox, and left the phone by my bedside upstairs. When I checked it at 08:50 this morning the phone was still in airplane mode but the battery had dropped to 25%.

If I can go 9 hours in the office with 3G switched on, and occasional email checking, and still retain 75% charge, why would it have dropped from 100% to 25% while in airplane mode for 9 hours at home overnight?

The battery usage stats at 08:50 this morning showed:

Android O/S 96%

Android System 2%

Dialer 2%

I'm running stock XWKI4 (2.3.4), upgraded via Kies and rooted.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reconfigured:
guys no 1's helping???
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroDoc:
It happened to me once.

Regarding you have "manila version 2.5.20113030.0" and your OS version, you have a custom ROM installed, and this means also you have HSPL installed in your device.

To get your device recognized by SE update service, you have to flash a *stock* ROM, and also a stock SPL.

After doing these two steps, your device will be recognized.

You must be familiar with flashing ROMs, and you should search the whole forum for stock ROMs and SPL, before attempting to flash anything..(I'm not responsible for any damage)

As a suggestion, refer to this thread for a detailed info on the subject

and also this thread for Stock SPL (see "extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons." section)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reconfigured:
sorry for late reply... but can u thread me to stock rom and stock spl plzzz....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroDoc:
Unfortunately, the Xperia X1 is now an old device, and the links to its stock items are rare and not working any more.

I managed to find links for the stock ROM (Generic UK WWE, latest version provided by SE which is R3A)

Here it is:

Part 1

Part 2

After you download the two parts, rename the file extension from .image to .nbh, and if you are using the SD card method, rename the file to kovsimg.nbh

Be sure to read about flashing ROMs and changing the SPL, if you did it the wrong way you may damage your device.

clockwork mod rom?

cynogen?

what does kernel do or work in the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gribonn:
Clockwork Mod Recovery is a custom recovery for android devices that has more options than stock recovery has. If you don't know what recovery is, then it is a "menu" where you can flash all roms and backup your phone.

Cyanogen Mod is a custom rom for android devices that has some extra features: www.cyanogenmod.com

If you want to know what a kernel is, go to wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)

Generally it's related to a dodgy / sticky / dirty USB socket.

Try cleaning the socket with a dry toothbrush or similar and see if that helps.

You could also try gently spraying the socket with compressed air or perhaps some sort of electrical contact cleaning spray.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
I was glancing at some screenshots of the Galaxy Nexus/GNex/Gex/Whatever, and noticed an issue/feature which is not unique to the Nexus.

The quote RAM figures for the device and the RAM total in the "Running" section of applications never match (in the massive sample of Android handsets I've seen - 3).

HTC Desire: Quoted RAM - 576MB. RAM total in "Running" section - 374MB. 65%

Galaxy S II: 1GB (1024MB). 693MB. 68%.

Galaxy Nexus: 1GB. 631MB (in screenshot I saw). 62%

I'm not actually calling this a problem, I'm just wondering what is the reason for this difference. Is the "Running" apps section simply RAM allocated for apps and the rest of the RAM is for the OS? Are the OEMs lying to us while smoking fat cigars by their swimming pools?

I'm sure there's a very simple reason for this. I just don't know it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Just like the devices total memory is 16 gb and 13.xx is actually to be played with. These things often get 'rounded up' quite often in the world of cars the manufactor claim a certain horse power and its rounded to nearest 50 or 100. Such is life in this modern age I'm afraid and unless some kind of consume4 rights group tries to do anything about this the current trend of manufactoers and ceo 's bull sh*tting to us is likely to continue.

Of course I'd like to be wrong and say that the other 300+MB are dedicated to the 'system' but I can't promice I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
I dont think it's that easy in this example though.. when talking about storage size one actual GB is 1024 MB but when it says 16GB on the box the manufacturers and retailers actually mean 16000MB devide this 16000 by 1024 and you get the real useable storage size, 15.625GB in this case. Talking about RAM on the other hand they tend to go by the full size GB when typing it out for you, 1GB is 1024MB of RAM, so.. where does that lost RAM go? I dont know! Someone with deeper knowledge want to explain further?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Maybe the 'system' really does use that much then :eek: although bear in mind sence and touchwiz are bound to use more. Hopefully on the actual retail release software will be more optimized and we get some ram back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
The GPU shares memory and reserves a huge chunk of the ram for itself.

The rest I can't explain correctly (if it's correct at all) but it's reserved for the os and can't be addressed by apps.

These reports only show the part that's addressable by apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
So this is to ensure the OS has enough ram and flows nicely and keeping everything lag free and super quick. Good news :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
Nice one.

As Tjotte said, I know that when it comes to storage, manufacturers normally quote gigabytes as multiples of 1000MB (I call this lying but what the heck). Then you add another small percentage for BIOS and you have a storage device with about 90%+ of what you thought it was going to be.

But around a third off the quoted figure??? That's more likely system allocation rather than a blatant lie.

Which now leads me to think... PC GPUs have their own RAM completely separate to system RAM. Apart from cache, I'm guess the mobile SoC's don't have specific RAM. Hmmmmm..... A quick peak at AnandTech at the Kal-El write-up tells me they don't. Bummer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
I think some of its used for caching as well. If you open task manager in Windows, you'll often see how the available RAM is far less than what would be expected if you take total RAM and subtract the RAM used by currently open apps (both system and user). It could be that some of RAM is essentially pre-fetching or caching apps, both user apps as well as system apps (such as Dialler, Framework components, GoogleSync etc) which notably make launching everything faster. And some of it is definitely used by the GPU as well similar to the integrated graphics on pc's, and this is probably dynamic as well, which can explain why available RAM does fluctuate within the same phone in similar conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Internal storage is the Gb vs GB bit vs byte issue plus partitioning, a free hundred MB as /system, maybe other partitions for other things such as user data etc.

As far as the ram, some for the gpu, the os will use some, some will be used as cache which can be dropped if needed, but in the end the device still has more free ram than some phones have in total.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Disk storage manufacturers calculate in base-10 and memory manufacturers in base-2. If they say a device has 1GB of RAM, it is 1024MB, not 1000MB. Same goes for flash memory. The Nexus has 16GB of flash, 2.5GB appear to be reserved for system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Anyone who wants to understand the difference between base-10 decimal SI units, JEDEC units for RAM sizes, base-2 binary IEC units, and the confusion 1000 vs. 1024 creates should check out Wikipedia's article on the topic, as it pretty much covers everything... including things like how storage device sizes and network speeds are measured, consumer confusion, and even lawsuits.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
That's all well and good but it's totally irrelevant when it comes to the 1 GB ram in this phone. It has 1024 MB ram, as stated. However, some of it is reserved for parts of the hardware like the GPU, the radio, video encoding/decoding etc. This is the same for all Android phones. Anyone that wants to see it can check that allocation in the source. Brian Swetland from Google has already described the motivation for this and the specific sizes used for different components for the Nexus One.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Agreed that it is irrelevant and the device definitely has 1024 MB of RAM. I was going a bit off-topic in an attempt to defer any further off-topic comments on that subject by directing people to an alternative source for that information rather than discussing it in this thread, which is about the Galaxy Nexus's RAM.

Your post is probably the most useful and informative so far in this thread. It does have 1024 MB, used for various purposes as needed, and there's really not much else to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
It is hardware accelerated and to my knowledge the sgx540 doesnt have discrete ram so that factors into the equation. I wouldnt be sjrprised if the os allocated 64-128mb ram for the gpu.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
RAM Division

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Oh, I see. Fair enough. :) Actually I wrote my post based on the assumption that your post was the first post. I later realized that was not the case so I just quoted your post to make it clear which post I was referring to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
-Most of the times a part is reserved for the gpu.

-Android will reserve more ram when there is more ram to optimize performence.

-Abdroid get more and more features wich use more ram.

-Active apps wil be kept in ram when possible.

-Applications get also more complexed.

-Android gets build differently when there are higher hardware standards. Compare for example windows 7 with windows xp. Windows 7 uses a lot more ram because of several cahcing optimizations for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
Could be buffers too.

e.g if you check free memory on a linux system a large amount is used by buffers but is actually useable if needed.

It's definately not "rounding up" as 30%+ is a long way from the kind of rounding up manufacturers of storage do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
This is actually very useful for people that don't understand the differences. And there are many that don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
They had to cut back on the RAM because they paid too much for Matias, since the boxes were already printed with 1GEEBEE noted, they're now trying to pass it off and hope nobody notices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I think Matias came free, he just wanted to get off the sinking ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
hi (hope raising this from the dead is not an issue :P).

I previously had a Galaxy S2 (now it went to my brother).

It reported more "total ram" (833 i believe).

What would be different on the Galaxy Nexus? i mean, what hardware stuff inside it requiere to reserve more RAM ?

(i believe its clear by now that the RAM "issue" has nothing to do with how STORAGE memory is reported)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The 720p display has a significant higher number of pixels over the sgs2 800x480 screen. A higher amount of RAM is reserved for the GPU on the nexus compared to phones with lower res screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
sounds logical

Altho, im almost sure the Galaxy S3 i had for a few days, had also more ram (its a 1gb model, and it has the same resolution The nexus has, but it does have totally different procesor/gpu)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This was determined quite some time ago. The GPU reserves 128MB of ram. It has nil to do with screen resolution, OS, or different phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
EVERY gpu uses 128 ? (qualcom Adreno 2**, imagination technologies gpus, nvidia gforce, ARM Mali, etc) ?

If thats so, i have to ask again, why 693 on the nexus, 833 on a galaxy s2 or s3 :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Just the 540.
