Well looking at the your screen shot there isn't much that you did on your phone, eg; something that can really put the battery or rom to the test, like play game or two, or some video playback

AnrgKrshn.... dude this name is hard to spell lol" ...any way I just want to tell you there is nothing wrong with your xperia s battery because the terrible trueth is Sony simply manufactured a terrible battery for our xperia s compared to the other following Xperia phones. So what developers try to do is make awesome operating systems that can give us extra few hours from our bad battery.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I use my phone really less, but I still get only about 8 hours of battery. I'm in classes all day and barely use my phone, but still. I guess it's because of 3G.

Yeah, I've been seeing all these screenshots showing 18hrs and I get so hopeful :P

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Lol the battery debate goes on but proves my point. No matter what phone you own battery drain depends on usage. Playing games kills most phones batteries no matter what size battery that have period. Music, YouTube and 3g are all battery killers. Bad network coverage also kills battery if phone always looking for a stable 3g connection so constant switch between 2g and 3g kills battery. Hopefully as I keep saying as the builds become more stable with future updates and when Sony release aosp sources so we can build better kernels, then we will have better battery performance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Oh i can easily kill my battery in about 5 hours also. It's not always amazing. Just generally, with average use its very good

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devilsneck:
Great ROM! But..

This ROM is SO damn smooth and fast and all features that I've tried from P.A.C work.

I'm experiencing random reboots even though I formatted system and did a wipe after installing the ROM too,

Maybe its because of some app?

And what is up with the INSANE amount of wakes? Its eating up my battery like crazzayy!

I checked with better battery and Google locator and maps are waking up the phone way too often. Anybody has any idea why?

Don't get me wrong, its the best ROM we have for our device.

Big thanks to the DEVS! :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Mine has been on for 17h 10m now and I still have 48% left. But yeah I haven't played any games, run it on 2G as I have crappy 3G connection. Data turned off, Wifi on.

But like shingers5 say, it all depends on how you use the phone.. Or if you have apps that constantly keeps on waking up your phone.. Stay away from AVG antivirus for example. That Fu**'er drained my phone fast...

Maybe you could try turning off GPS and see if that will help?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piponxs:
One question for devs, why are google maps running in background all the time,even when I boot phone and dont use them? They are eating ram and bat probbably...is there any way to remove that in next release? Is that possible anyway? I am asking because I cant even kill app runing,it keeps copying and copying...Except autostart app and similar... thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devilsneck:
Did a quick google search, it was the google maps app. Its a problem(?) with most new JB AOSP based custom ROMS.

Fixed it by going to Maps>Settings>Location Settings> and disable locations sharing and reporting.

Will try disabling 'google now' for better battery life and post the result here.

So far so good, has REALLY improved the battery consumption.

PS: The GPS(hardware) wasn't being used at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
You can remove from /system/app folder and reboot. Apps like gmaps collect info even when in standby so your location is always known. Weather widgets set to update frequently also kill battery as update in standby. Live widgets are all memory and battery hogs so not much can be done. Changing governor to ondemand and changing quiet hours to when in bed helps too.

The reason we haven't updated as yet is because the github doesn't show v17 for xs so we assume its not been updated as yet. Soon as its on here we will update this ROM asap
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kives:
Does anyone else have problems with sound volume controls?

I have two issues.

1. Selected volume control settings resets to a single slider after a while. I'd prefer expandable. I haven't figured out what actually causes this. Settings stay valid for couple of minutes but eventually I'll get only a single slider when using hardware volume buttons.

2. Minimum notification/ringtone level with headphones is mind blowing.

Application and media levels are ok.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadCobbler:
I've seen it mentioned a couple of times and I've been asked for it a few times in PM's. What I'm going on about is C.A.M.P.S rom which is supposed to be CM, AOKP, MIUI, PA and Sony. After looking into it and downloading the rom, I've found out that its just the PACman rom with MiHome added and Miui cm10 theme and a couple of Sony add ons which are freely available all over the Sony forums... Well thats what it looks like to me ;)

If you want this CAMPS rom here is what you do....

1. Download Miui CM10 theme here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853132 and install it and apply theme

2. Download MiHome from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5taXVpLm1paG9tZTIiXQ.. then press the home button and choose MiHome

That's basically it as far as I can see... I'm not taking anything away from the original dev of C.AM.P.S because PACman is a complete pain in the ass to compile lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Battery

I must say that I absolutely love this ROM! I have never had this good performance/smoothness/battery lasting qualities.. I'm using the phone for just 'normal' activities "mail, sms, phone, apps, and so on" Don't play high end games, use 2G as I have crappy 3G..

Well right now I have had the phone on for 1d 10h 4m and 30s and have 15% left of the battery... Must say that it's pretty impressive.. haven't come close to those 'online hours' on any other ROM I've tired.. And it's just been getting better and better the longer I have used P.A.C..

Thank you dev's I'm loving you all.. ;)

Guys PAC is the ultimate and if you have this 3 in 1 why want anything else? Enjoy the rom as right now apart from stock PA there is no better

thnx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Shutter sound has never been an issue for me so never had to disable it. Check in camera settings or sound settings. If you figure it out let us know. For now you can't change app drawer wallpaper but can make it transparent so it mirrors your home screen wallpaper. As for widgets you'll have to remove them from /system/app with root explorer and reboot

GUYS !!! Got the solution for Auto Brightness

Though this is a temporary solution, you gotta do it each time you reboot.

Install the attached apk. (Credits to the creator)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=en

Open Toggle ALS from menu, it will ask for user agreement (press yes or I Agree) After that nothing will happen (maybe a prompt will come showing that Toggle ALS has been denied Superuser Permission).

Again Open Toggle ALS, this time also nothing will happen.

Now Open settings Apps and Uninstall Toggle ALS.

Voilà you will have the autobrightness Disabled.

Not sure maybe flash a different stock rom then try different recovery. Also could be bad downloads so try Firefox. Error 7 or symlink errors are bad downloads mate.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ahvipardik:
I read it from cm10 thread the solution: download notepad++ for pc. Take pac zin and open (don't extract) it with winrar, go to meta-inf com Google Android and open updater script with notepad++. Delete first two lines (first is complete line and second begins with empty space) after that make sure that the previous third line now is first (you can see the line nr at the left) if this is done save it (close and winrar asks for sth klick yes) now you can install it in recovery.
