I think most people here compare their battery life to what it was before using a build with a custom kernel. So they are comparing it to one week ago.

I'm also pretty sure most people regularly charge their phones to. 100%.

So I think it's pretty fair to conclude that the new builds are consuming more battery, which shouldn't be very surprising considering how recent development on a custom kernel started.

That said, I think it is incredible what quarx has achieved so far and I can't thank him enough for what he's doing. And he even improved battery life considerably from the first custom kernel builds in just a few days!
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
I had the same issue, look back a few pages, where I posted the solution based on input from others. Search for posts by me and you'll find it.

Did you ever flash a Chinese ROM?

There seems to be a relationship between those that flashed a Chinese ROM a while back and this boot loop issue.

Reflash the phone, remove battery and SD card, and put it

[Defy Android Development] pl4yeR:
The battery drain is not about an old battery (at least not in my case) because my battery last quite quite more in 24/09 build, that is, about a week ago. Neither is about certain app usage because I have a 96% of deep sleep time which is very very good.

I have done the trys with 11/10 and with v2 update, Wi-Fi and data off, starting from scratch flashing a full sbf, rooting, installing 2ndinit and so on...

Now I'm trying have the phone without sdcard since has been reported that it may cause the initial lag, (just for trying). But that doesn't seem to be the cause. For now I'm having the same 2-3% / h drop with data and Wi-Fi off and with a wonderful 95% of deep sleep time.

I think it is something about the usage while deep sleeping too.

Update

Hi, i haven't been here in this forum because i have another phone but i want to know how to upgrade my old defy mb525 to Android 4.1.2

I've been looking around but i can't find the answer. I have Android 4.1 a nightly from august.

what are the steps for upgrading to Android 4.1.2? because i've seen that there's a 2nd-boot
[Defy Android Development] kadopt:
Install 11.10 build, install update 11.10_v2, wipe davlik and cache.

Reboot. Then disable wireless and disconnect usb cable if connected. Let it sleep for 5 min and you're good to go! Next time use search!
[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
ok.. I can't hell but show you this.. I just took this screenshot. I have the V1 update. I charged the phone 1d 20h before this screenshot. so you can see I have 26% left..

This morning I checked the usage.. it read -0.3%/h

In this screenshot you can see it's -0.8%/h

So i say.. battery does have something to do with how YOU configure your phone.

@Quarx: Any chance you will be re-adding the prebuild dictionary's from vendor/CM? I know it is more then 10MB difference... Maybe remove the dictionary's witch are included in the LatinIME and re-add the line in the common.mk? Just keep the 'nl' and I'm hapy ^^ (and prob also the ru). Actually took me a while to see why I had no dictionary.

If not, please say and i'll make a habit of building it myself (or copying from Crespo build or something).

I always was afraid of that "don't keep activities" and the "no background processes" what do they do? they sound similar, I guess the "no background process" kills all the apps once you leave it, but what about the launcher, and widgets? and the notifications?

Take this as a bug report, i confirmed by anyone else... Is the LED notifications working for you? After flashing the V2 update from 13/10 it doesn't work for me. It just lights on when charging and during boot...
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I can't confirm this bug. You see, I'm running V2 update over 10/11 JB build on my green lensed Defy, All the leds, i.e.. missed calls, reminder notifications, application specific ones, etc, with their defined colors, are blinnking as they should.
[Defy Android Development] matiasrey:
This may sound silly, but... are you sure you don´t have the "quiet mode" (i´m not sure thats the name in english, in spanish is "Modo Tranquilidad", under settings > sound) enabled?
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I might be wrong, but I think if silent mode was turned on, the leds would stil blink. Silent mode is a SOUND setting...
[Defy Android Development] matiasrey:
It is, but there´s an option to disable the led notifications and haptic feedback in there too, check it out.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Take a look at 'Menu > System Settings > Display > Notification light'. Another idea would be to check if any of the active profiles had its led mode, under the applications groups, tinkered.

Uninstall and Reinstall MotoDrivers

I had this problem before. For some reason, my computer was not detecting my phone properly. Uninstall Motodrivers. Reinstall MotoDrivers. Enter Bootloader. Connect to computer. Wait for the PC to re identify your phone. This worked for me. I also had some luck the first time by connecting my phone to a different USB port on my computer so that it would re-setup the drivers for my phone. After that, use RSDLite again to flash the .sbf and root away.

[Defy Android Development] vrl13:
Hello,

Please do not forget that with KSM although memory usage is reduced, CPU usage is increased due to the necessary "copy-on-write" monitoring, so this might negatively impact overall CPU performance and battery life. You might want to try an tweak around with this option and see, from one day to another, how much it really helps.

Regards.
[Defy Android Development] AnkurBedi:

[Defy Android Development] vrl13:
...this might negatively impact overall performance and battery life
[Defy Android Development] G00fY2:
I guess ZRam is even worse. The CPU has to compress and decompress all the data in there. There are a lot discussion in the web about the sense of this in a smartphone. It was intend to be used on desktop machines with enough CPU power but low memory. I'm not using it at the moment, but KSM.:p Maybe we will find out by our self's how big the advantages are.

[Defy Android Development] Walking dead:
boot lag

I had observed that most of the cpu load at boot is mainly due to android.process.media

Disabling it on boot with any start up manager. Indeed helps in getting to normal quickly. So some guys who had posted that they dont have boot lag after removing sdcard may be due to no need of scanning of files b media scanner.

Any body confirm this?

And also people having high battery drain due to Media scanner can try this app

RAMDLD.smg: signature not found!

3) Root (SuperOneClick v2.3 zergling rush), 2ndinit, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install 1110 build, flash update v2, reboot;

4) Wait some time, I had to pull out the battery once and tada, JB 4.1.2 boot properly;

5) Reboot into recovery, install latest gapps (1110) and everything is fine now.

[Defy Android Development] Bilistas:
Ok so.. I was off the air for a long time. Work has been consuming me and I lost a lot of the discussion here. I'm on 2409 build and i want to go to 11/10.

As off now, and based on what I've read, what I understand is that the ROM is for both phones (MB525 and MB526) and all I need to do is, using recovery, flash ROM and then Flash update. What i could not find the answer is: do I reboot the phone after installing the ROM to enter recover again to flash v2 update or do I flash both, in the following order: Rom -> v2, and then reboot.

Another question without answer is if i need to flash gapps or not?! I know there is a new gapps for 4.1.2, but is it crutial?!

Nobody seems to give a proper answer to: Do I need to wipe data or wipe cache/dalvik? I know it's better to wipe data, but is it enough to wipe cache/dalvik?

Thanks in advance guys and sorry for this kind of questions.. But even using search I can't find a definite answer.It's really messed up, the thread is a mess and it is hard to find a guide in which people can agree on.

So, is that all?! is there any additional editing?! do i need set the phone on something to boot?

thanks again and sorry.
