I had the same problem. For me, wiping all the recently used apps away did the trick.It seems to me, that the recently used apps are still working somehow in the background to ease with multi-tasking, even tough I closed them and am using a taskkilller, seems weird, but facts are facts. I went form a day and a half of light use to three and a have days of light use. By light use I mean, occasional gaming and some surfing with wifi. Hope this helps anyone!

are you sure? im about to flash it via cwm recovery on my mini pro.

but i cant find init.d in phone memory/system/etc. so once again, is it ok for me to flash it. i hate bootloops and that ****
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
Who doesn't hate bootloops :-P

If you don't have init.d folder in /system/etc/ don't flash it...

What kernel/ROM do you have?

Edit: if you have V6, then you should have init.d?

from my experience, wrong permissions in any phone memory folder can be resulted to bootloops. im gonna mess with it when i have time. but thanks anyway

If you have CWM, just make a nandroid backup and you're good to go
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
Right. I forgot about nandroid backup :D

So how was your experience with supercharged and loopy smoothness tweak applied?

Im supercharged 100% but still got annoying lag spikes on most games especially temple run, I always get random death

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] madhouses:
Sd card format you can make in phone menu or in pc card reader and wipe you can make with sus when you upgrade or with pcc/sus repair phone or via flashtoot flash ics with wipe.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dimasdanz:
The only solution is using custom ROM like MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP or other.

I use MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP + KRsH v3 Kernel, battery drain seems a lot better, wifi on for 12 hours more and use it for download and browsing, still have 40% left.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
I think battery drain is largely impacted by kernel. So changing kernel would be the solution.

If everything else fails ofc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Manipulation:
I updated to ICS by flashing it to my phone. I've removed none of the excess junk I don't need and with brightness turned up to half way and casual use on FB, Hotmail my batteries lasted 18hours +. Don't know the exact figure as I turned my phone off to try access CWM to find I haven't got it! -_-
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
Damn. Installed nitro lag nullifier from the supercharger script, now my WiFi is 2x ****ed up.

It is constantly disconnecting by itself more than before. Anyone have any idea to uninstalled nitro lag nullifier?

edit: nvm found it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
It's a known issue.

Simply run V6 again and select nitro lag nullifier (22). Then select (U)n-Nullify
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
Yep. I figured it out dude

I owned a Mini, I have the similar problem also. I didn't notice it and it drain to dead a few times. Now I restore back to 2.3.4, but the battery is spoiled I think because it behaved strangely.

Sometimes, it can last for a day, but sometimes it will dead after around 8 hours which I put in Airplane mode when I slept.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JackVoo:
This is the battery usage of my phone, it is 2.3.4 that I restore back from ICS.

It drain to completely dead during my sleep. The battery got problem after I update to ICS. but now the problem still existed after I restore back to 2.3.4. I think my batter has die because a few times completely dry in ICS.

any opinion?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lowkdown:
Try to full charge then battery stat wipe and charge again and when it's battery is at 0% (so it shutdown) try ro re-wipe battery stat (it's in CWM)

If you don't have CWM, i don't know how...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fangweile:
It is strange that ur android system eats 50% of your battery. I am also in stock 4.0.4 but the android system only shares a low percentage in my battery drain. My batter last for almost 3 days with moderate use and 1 1/2 days heavy usage..

Perhaps you have installed an apps/mod that is causing the android system to use such high battery share?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Check the battery stats, then we can check further.

Will not help. Battery stats is a long-known myth.

One more time to ALL PEOPLE who still can't understand: The Android OS battery drain is a bug in Sony ICS ROMs, which is not fixed by developers (yet)! The only way is to restart your phone after charging!

So yes, RESTART your phone after every damn charge!!

Android is best known for draining our batteries, whether what phone model or firmware your in. The best shot you can do is bypass it. Unlocked bootloader, Flash custom Kernel(s), Flash custom Rom(s), Get root permission, Flash script(s). That's all I know.

not draining fast

Hello:)

I,m new in this forum..

my xperia mini pro sk17i with android 4.0.4 having problems with battery draining..but this time its not android system that drain its the homescreen..

And other things that bugs me is that my network mode always changes when I reboot

Sorry if I post in wrong section
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ncmz:
First I would ask you if you had already calibrated your battery properly. (Search in google)

Second, there's no need to be in a custom ROM to extendend battery life, it's the opposite.

Third, are you in ICS compilation .587 or .431? Try to disable Facebook in Xperia sincronization, believe me, it drains soooo much battery...it's a bug in .431 compilation I guess.

Tell us how's battery working now.

Good luck!

The only thing is, web sites have moaned about the G-Note looking funny when people hold them up to their head to make phone calls. Just wait until people start talking into what looks like an ink pen. People will freak out at first but I can at least imagine it becoming trendy. Perhaps you could just park it on top of your ear like everyone has seen someone doing with a pencil. School kids would love the stealthy phone. Teachers wouldn't even notice until the word got around. Other kids might start hanging real ink pens on their ears to make it look like they had a cool phone too. I can imagine lots of funny scenarios if this thing actually comes to market. I hope it does.

Hi,

I've been trying to find a decent terminal with many netstat options, but havn't had much luck. So im wondering if someone knows of an app that has netstat ability with the ability to select and kill established processes linked to certain connections.

If not, do you know of a terminal that includes all the netstat options?

Thank you for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltmine:
Shouldn't netstat functionality be determined by your binaries (busybox) rather than the terminal app you're using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segomyeggo:
Yeah, I believe that is right, but it seems that the PID option is not working, and am wondering if you know of a binary, app, etc. that allows this option.

Can someone tell me what these Letters stand for:

UVLE1

UVLC8

TLLE4

IML74K

I know they are different, and that they are usually associated with Radios and sometimes with ICS ROMs. Recently I saw two links on Darksides's newest ROMs showing two different radios to download -- they had these letters/numbers etc. I'm not asking "which one is better" because I know that would depend on where I was, which rom, etc.... so that is not the question. I just am curious what they mean... are the abbreviations? Or just version designations? I like learning crazy stuff like that. Sorry if this is a noob question -- I googled to hopefully get an answer, but I only came up with links that show where to download them, not what they define/mean.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
so, over the past 2 weeks, the data on my phone would randomly drop out completely, then kick back in a few seconds later. it gradually got worse & decided to call verizon. beforehand, i tried the battery pull & then tried cleaning the antenna contacts(didn't work). i ended going through 5 service calls that did not go anywhere. they're supposed to call me back tomorrow & mentioned a phone exchange if the issue persists.

(btw i've been using the 2750 extended battery)

anyway, i decided to remove the extended battery & try going back to the normal for the hell of it. and that fixed the issue.... so now i just need to replace the extended battery door. i feel dumb for not trying it sooner, but also wonder why verizon never mentioned trying it.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
I don't have an extender door and was having this issue. I reset the phone pulled the battery took my sim out and ad card. Put all back together and so far so good. Not sure what fixed it though.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I have the extended battery and while I don't have signal issues I might try soldering the contacts on the door a little to raise em up.

Also, do you use a case? That might help hold it together tighter.

If your near an lte area your phone is consistently trying to search for a signal, and when its searching it's sending information to make sure the phone is supposed to be activated on the network. That's the downfall of Long Term Evolution.

What kind of usage are you guys getting out of your SGS2's now ?

I took my phone of the charger at 7 am today & it died at 2 pm. had minimal usage - a few texts, pic message, a call, and 5 mins of GPS use.

I have bullet kernel, stock rom (GB 2.3.5)

7 hours of minimal is pretty bad. really shouldn't be the battery after only 8 months, but i will probably pick up a new one anyway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] motorjonny:
I can get up to 20 hours of battery for what i consider moderate use. What really shows the usage is the screen on time. I can get between 3.5 hours - 4 hours of screen/display on time. ( see in your system battery info). (I could not break 2.5 hours display on time on my HTC One S so I sold it)

After ICS update my battery life sucked until i master reset. Now I am back to normal.

I am running and have been running stock roms. In the past I was a flash junkie... but this phone has never needed an aftermarkey ROM. It has always run flawlessly stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ashens:
I'm getting around 18-20 hours with moderate usage. I mostly just browse on the internet during downtime at work, which can be more than a few hours straight.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrestlerkid:
Agreed!! I tried out other ROMs when I first got my s2 but as you said, it never needed an aftermarket ROM ...I do however use Bullet kernel and notice a substantial difference on "lag free" setting

But 20 hours !?!? ...i think mb i can get that much if I don't touch my phone even once. hmm ..i guess i will give tracking the screen on time & seeing if I fall in that 4 hr range
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrestlerkid:
hmm ...seems like i am getting a third of what i should be getting on minimal usage, not even moderate. had the phone 8 months & alternate batteries and even w/o doing that, the stock battery should be fine after only 8 months ...wonder why i get such poor battery life now

I have the Telus version and have always had about 12 - 16 hours with minimal usage on the stock rom which is pretty bad. I recently flashed CM9-beta1 and I'm lucky to get 6-8 hours like yourself. I love cyanogenmod but this is unacceptable.

How much screen on time is that? People need to realize that just saying how long your phone lasts means nothing without screen on time. I will usually get around 3 hours screen on time, whether that be me using moderately for 15 hours, or heavy usage for 4 hours, screen on time will always be around 3 hours

Like today I had off and have been using my phone a lot

Now if I had worked my phone would probably be at 70 with like an hour of screen on time.

The problem with your battery running low quick is because you are running Gingerbread! Ice Cream Sandwich runs faster and has 70% better battery life! I have went 18 hours on moderate usage and about 14 hours on more harder use! As for light usage I have went 2 days on a full charge!

I just HIGHLY suggest that you switch over to either stock ICS or a Customized ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Like I said saying how long the battery last means nothing without screen on time. And I disagree, I had much better battery life on Gb than on Ics
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Ugh, not another battery life thread -.- smh..

Battery life is not determined by ROM, Kernel, or usage statistics. Yes it has a general impact but not nearly as much as...

LOCATION!

When your phone switches from HSPA to EDGE or any other service type, that initialtes a wake lock, uses power to switch frequencies. Uses power to update the ROM and all apps that you are now on whatever frequency. Now it does that all the time you switch from HSPA, HSPAP, EDGE, GPRS. So if your in a place with excellent signal then yes your battery life will be much better than in a place with low to no HSPA cause then your phone is constantly switching signals.

About GB and ICS, generally speaking ICS will be better at battery handling and power consumption. When i had CM7 on my HD2 in airplane mode, running not nothing but wifi, then again on CM9, CM9 lasted about a half day longer.

But again, location is more important then screen on times and battery life lengths.
