wanna help us to increase miniCM9 battery life ?

Dear shakira users, you wanna help us to increase miniCM9 battery life ?

here is a simple protocol to find if some conditions

can or not

increase battery life without messing up everything else

atm, we will see for gsm standby that seems to extremely eats battery when phone is idle

____________________________________________

we have 3 condtions to test :

in the build.prop you'll find the following :

ro.telephony.ril.v3=icccardstatus,skipbrokendatacall,signalstrength,datacall

here are the 3 conditions :

1/ keeping as it is:

ro.telephony.ril.v3=icccardstatus,skipbrokendatacall,signalstrength,datacall

2/ add "qcomuiccstack"

ro.telephony.ril.v3=icccardstatus,skipbrokendatacall,signalstrength,datacall,qcomuiccstack

3/ delete "signalstrngh" & add "qcomuiccstack"

ro.telephony.ril.v3=icccardstatus,skipbrokendatacall,datacall,qcomuiccstack

here is the protocol :

for each :

fully charge,

use by the same way the phone for each (same phone call length, same web browsing length, same idle time while sleeping at the same place ...)

try 3g,2g,gsm,wifi,bluetooth,FMradio and all regarding connectivity for each

keep idle for at least 8hrs (and about the same time for each condition)

take a screen shot for each when about 10 battery % are left :)

on each screen shot, place numbers and comment the way you used the phone at each graph inflection or state (idle, wifi, 3g using, phone call ... )

here is the way the 3 screen shots should look like :

*

on this screen the phone never really went idle properly and i used airplane mod, this is not how you should proceed, this is just an example of the way i would like to see the numbers ;)

you should proceed in similar way for each 3 condition so that the results can be comparable and the conclusion accurate!

the more people will do the test properly, and the more precisely they will do, the more accurate will be the results.

thanks for helping us !

have a nice day

I think I should add more details on what I have on my phone at the moment:

- fresh rom + gapps

- removed wallpapers, trebuchet, DSP manager, browser, installed zeam, opera mini and droidwall

- using 2G only, automatic backlight, the sensors lib I compiled. my 2G signal is around -60dB and in 3G it's -80dB.

- smartassV2, frequencies 122-748MHz, sample_jiffies set to 50 (it seems to me that the default 2 is too little and the frequency keeps jumping up and down) and wakeup frequency set to 600MHz. all these set from hw_config.sh because the rom application will reset my jiffies value.

- the phone is not really used as a smartphone, just as a basic phone because I'm trying to focus on the cell standby. using apps and services will surely wake the cpu up.

after about 24 hours my battery was at 80% today when I added back signalstrength and rebooted the phone to start fresh with the new setting. I also charged it back to 100% via usb at work (with the phone turned on) until logcat said the charge was over. this was 7 hours ago and I'm on 95%, taking into account that it had eaten the first 3% in half an hour. I'll attach screenshots tomorrow when we'll see how it goes over night also.

one sure thing that qcomuiccstack configuration got me is to get rid of a second screen that asked for the SIM pin after having already passed the first screen. normally in this screen I had to press 'Dismiss'. I don't know if you guys got that screen also.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Heronger:
I got this screen also till i turned of tiping in the sim-pin on startup :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
thk you very much for your help ! :)

______________

245-748 would have less up-down jumps (at least it is like this on my phone)

______________

for the network unlock pin, you are right as i read it over the web, this is why some added it (i had that box, and no more with qcomuiccstack)

______________

you said deleting signalstrength displays 0dBm,

does this instead fix the problem? :

ro.telephony.ril.v3=1,icccardstatus,skipbrokendatacall,datacall,qcomuiccstack

if yes, consider it as a 4th condition of the test protocol

Hi guys ...

I hv some problems (again)

I cant receive calls ..

Everytime my friends/relatives call me the com.android.phone always stopped responding..

Im using a HDPI theme...

Maybe it is the problem?

Coz i when changed to the system theme and then com.android.phone works. And i can receive calls again ..

And lcd density changed to 140

PS: im using MIFM 2c

Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@sidewalk_

the hdpi theme is not your problem. the lcd density is. after you apply the hdpi theme change the lcd density to 160 and reboot and it should work. the same thing happened to me once.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sidewalk_:
Okay.

I will do it ..

Too bad...

X8 looks great with 140 dpi ...

Anyway to keep the dpi with hdpi theme without any problems??

Thanks for tge reply

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sonty:
ok, I plugged in my phone now at 60% battery :). so I pulled the snapshots I did. the images are taken like this:

1. on Friday night before going to sleep at 95%

2. on Saturday morning when I woke up at 91%

3. on Saturday night at 63%

4. this morning (Sunday) at 61%

5. this is something I wanted to show to people still using Titanium Backup to freeze apps. you can do that directly from the rom settings.

the drops are phone calls made and the big one is a 30min talk. probably the cpu was at 748MHz the whole time. I'll try tweaking the smartass parameters to see if it will eat less during phone calls. the biggest battery eater now is that I made almost 1 hour of talking in 45 hours of uptime.

so I don't really know what changed the behavior of my phone. the idea with qcomuiccstack came to me due to differences between ics and gb in telephony/gsm/SIMFileHandler.java and in telephony/IccCard.java. since I'm a C programmer with little experience in java I didn't manage yet to understand what exactly is the call graph for the functions where these changes appeared so trying the property is just an "educated guess".
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
with all you said, and the tests performed by me (not following my protocol since i need to do some other tests that prevent me to follow it properly) and performed by others, it seems that qcomuiccstack does not change anything than the pin network unlock code not poping (things that nAa had re-hacked for the next build, but we will use qcomuiccstack though if it really has NO side effect [need to prove it now])

removing signalstrength doesn't seem to improve anything as far as i know (but maybe further test will show something?)

data provided to me at this stage doesn't show any significant difference ...

freezing apps and other things might improve a lot more :)

what i think is that your other settings improve your battery life much more than the ril arguments

anyway thank you for the idea, i hope we will find somethings that slightly improve battery life ;)

i still need testers on this protocol since battery is something that needs time to investigate (an alone discharge can't prove anything, wee need data on a whole week of power cycle you know :) )

if you have anything to add or change in the protocol to improve the way of investigating, share us !

if you have any clues of other things to investigate you are welcome too :)

thank you for helping, we need that kind testers, people that help and not ask/flame/request/annoy ... for nothing :p

1. Auto-brightness doesn't work very good (on sun doesn't change to full, so I can't see very good,

2. I lost my settings after reboot (just 2G). But rom is great, thank you nAa:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sonty:
I left everything else untouched, removed qcomuiccstack, reboot to recovery, wipe battery stats, boot, switch to 2G. let's see how it behaves in the next days.

regarding helping out... it's a win-win situation so you don't need to thank me :). I need to thank you and nAa for giving me the opportunity to play with this rom, while still having a functional phone.

unrelated: does anyone have a good howto import the whole cm tree into eclipse (preferably latest indigo)? I think all the tutorials I've found are for helios and... they no longer apply to indigo (the "create project from existing sources" option is missing). if not, I'll have to install helios or even better, do some debugging from the command line :D.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sidewalk_:
Holy sh*te

It actually works !

Thanks bro !
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sonty:
at least on my phone qcomuiccstack seems to work. without it the battery went down almost 20% in 6 hours with 5 minutes of voice. I'm adding it back and I'm starting to check the sources to see exactly in which context this missing property is reporting the network is locked.

of course, I love the fact that the android developers like commenting their code even less than I do. actually constructs like this are even nicer:

/**
* {@hide}
*/
public abstract class IccCard {

this really makes it clear what the purpose of this class is. Sorry for this small offtopic, but I needed to vent out a bit.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmedz_1991:
to all those who suffer from battery lifetime:

just leave the phone charging after the 100% for extra 2 hours or something. U don't need to tun it off or wipe stats, just leave it over charge. U don't even need to play with system files

i use OC 748, 2G only, swap partition, wifi off when unused and battery is fantastic ! see attachment !

i have found a really irritating bug (atleast for me):

when the phone is in silent mode and i connect the headphones, it changes mode to vibrate. it sometimes changes the ringer volume, too (to 1/7 of the max volume).

hope this will be fixed in new version :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
i don't believe it's a bug, i think it restores the last way it was when you previously unplugged, or something like that.

maybe i'm wrong and it's a bug :p (if it is, it's coming from CM)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fifo171:
it is a bug. you can try it if you don't believe me. connect headphones to phone while in normal mode and it won't change ringer mode. set the phone to silent mode and connect headphones and it changes ringer mode. plug it out and it will change the ringer mode (this doesn't happen every time you unplug it). after that it will change the mode even from normal mode. sometimes it changes the mode when you plug it in, sometimes it doesn't change it when you plug it, but when you unplug it. sometimes when you plug it in the ringer mode icon in the statusbar just flashes. you need to reboot phone to stop this, but it will start again if you plug headphones in while in silent mode.
