Hey all,

Having a few battery issues, hope someone can help.

1st issue is - i went from 100% charged to 70% in 1 hour. Yes i was using the phone the whole time but i was doing simple things like just setting up all my 7 home screens. Brightness is set all the way down to low (0), no auto brightness and i even have the dim screen setting on as well. I checked the battery usage and it said screen took up 50% of battery loss. Surely this isn't normal? I was only pretty much setting up my screens and settings, nothing intensive!

2nd issue is - I have noticed that even though the phone says it's charged to 100%, i have downloaded a few third party battery widgets/apps for confirmation and MOST/ALL says phone is still charging and not 100% even though the stock battery/phone says it is!

also battery circle and 2x battery when they finally reach 100% even though stock phone battery has reached 100% quiet sometime ago, as soon as i pull the power cord out it immediately drops to 99%.

WHAT'S GOING ON!

Any help?

=)

Thanks in advance!

Surely this isn't normal? I was only pretty much setting up my screens and settings, nothing intensive!

The screen is the biggest user of power on any touch screen phone. It not only has the display but it also incorporates the touch portion as well. Using it 1 hr strait constantly and using touch that loss really isnt too bad. Just the display on by its self is bad but touching not only uses more juice but it also jumps up the CPU while touching.

2nd issue is - I have noticed that even though the phone says it's charged to 100%, i have downloaded a few third party battery widgets/apps for confirmation and MOST/ALL says phone is still charging and not 100% even though the stock battery/phone says it is!

Moto Phones report in 10% increments. It may show 100% even though its not. to fully charge turn the phone off and plug it back in. It should continue to charge. Look into something called bump charging. Essentially its just involves the user turning the phone on and off and plugging it in until it reads 100% immediately without charging.

also battery circle and 2x battery when they finally reach 100% even though stock phone battery has reached 100% quiet sometime ago, as soon as i pull the power cord out it immediately drops to 99%.

Another common thing with phones. I have had multiple phones that do this. Nothing to worry about. Its just how the system is reporting it. Its NOT a power loss or anything. Part of the issue is from what I am hearing is the lithium batteries are fully charge (100%) at a certain level which is only maintained while plugged in which is why it shows 99% immediately when unplugged.

WHAT'S GOING ON!

Nothing, its a 4G smartphone

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
You can turn it off under the network settings like others have stated. Turning off 4G here with our phones in the US can increase battery life significantly. 4G radio is #2 or #1 in the power drain depending on what you are doing.

I must say, with it being a AU version I am not sure if it even has the 4G radio inside, I would have to look into the GSM versions; or if someone with a non US phone could chime in and advise.

I personally just leave my 4G on all the time. I live in a great 4G area so the phone doesn't waste power searching for 4G signal. However when I download something 10mbps or more really does hit the battery hard if you do some big downloads or stream movies/music. I have no issues with charging it every day.

The time of charging your cell phone once or twice a week is gone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Deleted member 2831641:
does this work with a bml rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
^^^^In theory, it would work with an NTFS rom, if one existed - different filesystems don't [usually] create any changes on the surface... if you try to copy a file from a partition of any file system to a partition of any other file system, you don't have to explicitly tell the system the fs types involved. I haven't looked through the entire script, but if there are any commands that must specify the partition type, it would be a simple matter of changing any occurances of EXT4 to YAFFS2, etc.

This could be a great way to make a clean reinstall with all of your apps intact (minus app data, do a separate backup with your backup app of choice) - first, backup your installed apps by copying them to the appropriate directory, then do a full wipe and install, with the script automatically reinstalling your apps on first boot...

EDIT: I just looked through the script more closely. First, it appears that data is backed up. Second, I can confirm that the standard, non-file system-specific linux commands are used for file operations (cp to copy, etc), so this script shouldn't need any adjustment to accomodate different file systems :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] irule9000:
Is it possible for someone to develop an application to backup your personal apps and then running a script in clockwork or on first boot that does the same thing as this, alllowing for personal apps to be in the rom directly after flashing. I understand that sometimes apps may not be compatible, but can randomroms rdu script be modified to choose to do this?

Good looking script SenseiSimple!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Okay, I'm trying to use this script, but you said to put the apps in fs/data/firstboot/ but where is "fs"? I found the "firstboot.sh" file, but I'm sure I can't put the apk's in there...

[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
If you look at the folder structure inside the SleeperROM zip, you'll see he uses an fs directory to hold his system and data folders for installation. If you're developing a ROM, you can adapt the script to point to wherever your data folder is (most other ROMs just have system and data in the root directory of the zip, so the path would just be data/firstboot/).

EDIT: no need to look in SleeperROM zip, the firstboot zip in the OP has the same folder structure. It just doesn't seem to have the firstboot directory inside data. You'll need to add that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Thanks for the reply buddy, so what I THINK your saying is to create a folder called "first boot" in my data folder?

In loving memory of my son" Jeffrey Ryan Giles" 11/17/1992 to 11/25/2011 - RIP :'(
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Are you trying to do this in a ROM or on the phone? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I just want to be sure we're on the same page.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
i hadn't noticed my zip routine apparently skips empty .folders

in the zip, there SHOULD have been /fs/data/.firstboot into which you place whatever apk files named according to their actual package name i.e. com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk for Titanium Backup, com.alensw.PicFolder.apk for QuickPic and so on...

you can find out this info in Titanium Backup by finding the app in the list and tapping its name to show the data store location.

it HAS to correspond to the actual package name in order to properly back up the data files because the package manager binary as run from a script won't overwrite the data dir so the old data has to be synced back into the new install (rsync)

I am currently refactoring the script to reduce the number of dependencies... the system will then consist of the init.d script, zipalign and rsync bins, and the /data/.firstboot.sh, /data/.firstboot dir all in one place rather than scattered throughout the system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
it would be possible to create an app to do this, and i considered it because of the need to make sure the android system is fully loaded for package manager to work, but given the requirement for full root access to start running before the system is up without having to worry about android permissions or getting SuperUser approval it's easier/more effective to do it as part of the system init in a script.

as far as randomking's rdu script, they would be compatible, but they exist separately as in one shouldn't interfere with the other, because the firstboot script runs long after install once the system is up and running.

you could modify the rdu setup to include/exclude the /data/.firstboot dir and .firstboot.sh script based on the selected config, since the init script does nothing if it doesn't see the /data/.firstboot.sh file, and the .firstboot.sh script does nothing if it doesn't see the .firstboot dir
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Expanding on the rdu script idea, how about a prop variable in the config to specify a user apps directory on the sdcard (best if standardized)? The user can store the apks to be installed after a clean flash in this directory. The rdu script would be modified to copy those apks to the firstboot directory. Although how to handle data? Maybe another script to be run before flashing that checks the apks in the sdcard folder, and copies the current data folder to the sdcard. This data is then restored somehow with the firstboot script. This all can be in addition to the firstboot apps included with the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] irule9000:
app

I honestly have no developing experience. To clarify, I was I simply asking if the app could back up the users personal apps/data to the specified folders, to make this script fool proof. Then when a rom is flashed the randomromkings rdu script which currently decides on lite roms or full roms could be modified to either install apps or not install apps depending on the rom compatibility. Finally data is wiped, rom flashes, and your script runs on boot allowing the apps to all be there. Expanding on that if the ROM allows apps to be re installed via your script, through the modified rdu, your script could be moved from one directory to another allowing the process to happen and at the end moves itself back to the original directory. This means that the end user who has no clue how to do anything but flash roms (like myself, but I want to learn) has done nothing accept backing up their apps. I know this is all hypothetical, but would this be possible, and also I have another idea that is probably impossible. If a script could be written so that the apps are backed up when the rom flashes, then the rom automatically does a factory restore and wipes the various caches, meaning that less people are going to have force close issues or other avoidable bugs because they didnt wipe. thanks for all your hard work
[Epic 4G Android Development] aayushARM:
Clear Me Here !!:D:D

You said that the script (.firstboot.sh) removes itself, but does it remove Y02firstboot script from init.d?? I don't think so, also, there are no disadvantages of this after first boot, as it won't find .firsboot.sh and skip the operation, but why shud it execute unneccesarily everytime??

@OP--Plz. tell me if i am right or wrong.......If right, plz. add a function to remove that script from init.d. However files in /xbin are OK though, so no need to remove them............
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Everybody is writing and making this appear as complicated as possible! So let me clarify what I believe the idea is here. First of all, the 'RDU script' I assume you're referring to is simply a flash-able zip to set you phone for a lite or full installation. It sets a config file. I use it in my rom, and I also currently use that config file to set several other features upon installation, and changeable at anytime one of my themes is flashed.

RDU was simply meant to jump start the idea of developers making installations more uniform. Which has happened to various extents, for example, I've used this first-boot install to solve my quickpic(I love the app) and flash pre-install problems. It also fixes usb tether, vlingo, terminal, etc.

SO, what are we saying here? We'd like to be able to backup our apps to the sd card, as many apps can do for us. Then, we'd like to either:

A. Build a script into a rom to restore these apps prior to or upon installation.

or

B. Build a separate script which would be run AFTER a rom installation to restore these apps from CWM.

Yes?

P.S. I see this is very late to the game, didn't realize this thread was being revived...

Still. Neat idea, sorry I hadn't noticed it yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NuVanDibe:
+1 Thanks

After integrating this into my custom ROM, my phone (Galaxy S 4G) would only install the first .apk file in the .firstboot directory. After I removed the code which tells it to backup/restore the /data/data directories, it worked fine. I won't need that code since the ROM does a full wipe of /data every time anyway, but I'm not sure why it doesnt work when it's there. I'm not well versed enough with Java's syntax yet to comprehend why.

Also, your first post says that it should record logs to \sdcard\sleeperlog.txt but the script tries to record it to \sdcard\sleeperromlog.txt and neither one of those files actually appear on the sd card.

Edit: I had to remove the check to make sure the .firstboot directory is empty before deleting it, but it works fine on my Galaxy S 4G ROM as long as there are no /data/data directories for the programs I am installing.

[HTC Sensation] andy75hr:
I have this phone for two months, stock rom, not rooted, don't use mobile internet, only wi-fi, not always on, I would say a moderate usage.

The last week I am experiencing big battery problems, it drains in half a day. Nothing new installed in the last week that could be a problem, I think I had only few app updates from the market, but am not sure if the time is the same as the beginning of battery problems.

The first time I have charged the battery in the evening, disconected the charger after the light turned green, it was about 10pm, the next morning at 6 am the battery was at 4%?! The second time the battery was charged from 15% to 65% (I had no time to full carge), from 4pm to 10 pm it went down to 3% again.

Last night I made a full charge, disconected the charger at 6am this morning, now at 8 am the battery is at 75%, I don't understand...

I don't let the apps sync automatically and I use wifi only, everything is setup not to drain the battery, no problems till the last few days...I have installed GO launcer a month ago but I don't think it could be a problem, it worked all well till now.

Any thoughts or suggestions what to do?
[HTC Sensation] K00li79:
When you go to settings,about phone, battery usage, what does the statistic point out as the biggest user? You can also download battery monitor widget to see what is usung what.

Goodluck
[HTC Sensation] andy75hr:
It says display 58%, cell standby 15%, voice calls 14% (3 voice calls), phone idle 13% (for 4 hours after disconnecting the charger), this last one, phone idle, seems to much considering others?

Anyway, I have powered off the phone, pulled the battery out and put it back in, seems the situation is better, I will see later on.

Now I remember that few days ago the phone got frozen and I had to pull the battery out to restart it because I couldn't restart it regularly. I think it is after that the battery draining problem has begun, is it possible?
