Rom

Me and a couple of my friends are going to try to make a rom for you guys ^_^ going to see how this goes tonight
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Could always root and then remove all the crap you don't want and replace it an AOSP version of it.
[HTC One S] wognwarren:
That'd be nice! Thanks for the love! ^^
[HTC One S] wognwarren:
Even the Sense skin?? And what is AOSP??
[HTC One S] DrSaV23:
right now there is a problem :D
[HTC One S] wognwarren:
What is it??
[HTC One S] wognwarren:
Another question, is the OTA update to Jelly Bean for the S3 device released??
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Well not the skin parts like menus but you can remove pretty much everything of sense but make sure you have apps to replace them installed first.
[HTC One S] wognwarren:
I see. Never mind, my main concern is to remove the UI.

I have Ion with CWM V1, I try to install V4 to it. The installation ran ok with no errors. I also tried Recovery X and shows installation complete. But when I boot into CWM it still shows V01. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
No issues. It is ok. Version No does not matter. You are on V4.

With the stock rom, you cant edit it unless you install the multiwindow control [xposed or simplilistic framework]! You can also install custom rom that include this feature e.g. omega, etc.

Hi everyone,

i want to find a good voice assistant like Siri for Iphone but there are really many out there and it would not be easy to download and test one by one, so i wanted to ask you all if you are using any app like that and what do you think is the best app for that purpose on android ?

Thanks in advance

[HTC One X] Iceax123:
Can you let us know the first 6 apps.

Thanks

Andy
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Sure, these are the ones I already installed plus the features I enabeled and are OK on my device:

aCalendar

Apex Launcher Pro

ES FileExplorer

Google Search updated

Fancy Widgets

Power Toggles

Facebook synced

Google Drive

Twitter Synced

Smooth calendar widget

I've installed some more of my apps today, and will see tomorrow morning if these are OK to.
[HTC One X] orderme:
What do you think?
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Sorry i'm not good in analyzing battery app graphics... That's why I'm working the other way around as you can see.

Is your screen showing your device was on std-by for 80 hours or?
[HTC One X] hanserson1:
After disabeling the location report setting in Google maps the battery drain was gone on my hox. Go to Google maps/settings/location and then remove the check mark at something called like report location (I have a german phone so I dont know the exact expression). Once you have done that the battery consumption is less then on ics. At least in my case.

Hope this helps!
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Yeah tried that to before, but didn't fix the 20% overnight drain here. Ofcourse it will help with general battery usage.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
it will be interesting to know what the rough app was :laugh:

if this was me i would try reading through the last dozen or so comments on playstore about my installed apps, maybe other people are having the same prob ..
[HTC One X] Iceax123:
My battery seems to have settled went to bed with 43 percent woke up 7 hours later with the same

Have managed 29 hours battery and 4 hours screen time. I've done over 4 hours screen time before but only on like a 6 hour total use. But with over 29 hours since last charge its actually become a usable phone

A
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Hehe yeah thats an option to, but when you have over 150 apps it can be a hassle to check that, with not even a guarantee that you find any useful comments ofcourse :)

Anyway, this morning my std-by drain was still TOP after the batch I installed yesterday :)

OP updated.

:good:
[HTC One X] Iceax123:
Happy with this
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
How do you check screen time on JB? Seems to be gone in the 'battery' option in settings
[HTC One X] emilio94:
do you keep data connection off?
[HTC One X] Iceax123:
Use gsam to show screen time.

Power save mode turns data off with screen off.

A
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Yes, when my phone is in std-by at night, wifi,data and sync is off.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Another batch of 11 apps installed yesterday.

10pm to 10am = 3% std-by drain.

From those 12 hours there are also 3 hours included which my wifi/data and sync was on with mails coming in.

So std-by battery drain is still very good here! :highfive: Hope the rogue app is in one of my 50 games, no so difficult to eliminate one of those :)

OP updated.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
150 apps could take weeks to find the bugger hehe :laugh:
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Ah, most of the apps I really need are almost installed :)
[HTC One X] obsydian:
I turned off power save, 23hrs still 64% left, was allot less with battery save enabled
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Have you activated Google now yet?
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
No not yet, first need to make sure my regular apps and stuff keeps working fine. I will turn on GN soon just to see the difference in drainage.

Will let you know.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
the thing that is keeping my phone awake is a VGDrmserviceWAKELOCK.I think it might be linked to Sky go app but not sure ,its keeping my phone awake even while screen is off,my phone has been off charge for 2 hrs ,had 10 mins screen time and already lost 10% bettery with device been awake all the time
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Remove the app and see if it's back to normal. Did the drain start recently or right after you updated to JB?
[HTC One X] corckie:
Thanks for sharing this OP, in my case this does not help. On any JB rom (now stock JB with latest .27 update) I have tons of wakelocks no matter what I do after super wiping.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
So you do a factory reset, with nothing installed afterwards, and you still have huge std-by drainage due to wakelocks? Strange.... Is wifi and sync on, or have you enabeled google now?
[HTC One X] alexdiaz:
3.14.401.31 fixed my idle battery drain issue, in 8 hours on Wifi over night my phone lost 1%, no full wipe, only upgrade from ARHD 17.1 to ARHD 18 with 1.36 hboot.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Ok so this morning I had a significant higher battery drain in std-by than the days before, and also the wakelock was back 12% in 10h.

Gona un-install the apps I installed yesterday to see if its back to normal again.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
Aha! finally found the suspect :laugh:
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Haha I really hope so :D
[HTC One X] tianyuhua:
Happy with this
[HTC One X] tcuk31:
Would you like to share which app it may be, thank you.
[HTC One X] corckie:
After super-wipe and turning on Wi-Fi. If any data (mobile or wifi) is off, then the battery drain is neglible. Like 1% per every 5 hours. Still I get some very rare wakelocks, but I don't care. When I turn on data, with no gmail account nor google now turned on, then battery drains crazy, like 10% every hour. No idea why it happens. I thought it might be because of HOX wifi problems, but I opened the case, cleaned antennas and straighten them a little and did not help. It was a good idea anyway, my BT stereo headset has better reception now. But drain problem is still here.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
i also dunno... waiting for foggy to tell us...!
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Was not able to get it back to normal yet unfortunately... Maybe the new update is interfering.

Will keep you informed.
[HTC One X] Goldenrooster:
I can see with BetterBatteryStats that Google Maps is constantly causing wakelocks. So many that it prevents the One X to enter into deep sleep. It stays awake and causes 20% power loss a night with everything switched off. The process is called NetworkLocationsLocator (Wakelock). The only way to prevent is to uncheck the box Google Location Services under "Locations" in settings. Unfortunately other apps can then no longer use wifi location services. My guess is that this is a bug in Maps under Jelly Bean and I hope Google/HTC fixes it fast because it drains the battery...
[HTC One X] nandann:
I saw this today... battery was 90% in the morning (9am) and by 1pm, the battery has reduced to 19%. All I have done in between is to send 2 SMS and call for 4 mins. Maps has taken 33% and Android OS 25%. And the phone seems to be heating up even is standby!!!
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Try to disable the location settings in Google Maps. Do you have Google Now enabled perhaps?
[HTC One X] shaw23:
My drain is ONLY with wifi on, i have tried maps, dropbox and also put my wifi to turn off when screen off, no difference. its really bad. but with auto sync on and location etc all on along with 3g its perfect. really strange.
[HTC One X] nandann:
Yes, I have disabled location settings and the drain has reduced... but that kills the fun (what is the point of having such a phone if you have to disable most of the stuff?) I also installed an app called Android Assistant (from play store) and cleaned up my phone startup (you can actually select what apps to start and also kill some of the apps that keep running)

And strangely, this kind of battery drain has started recently... I dont remember installing any new app other than updating a lot of apps last week.
[HTC One X] cheskote:
I can confirm this behaviour, it's the location service that Google Maps uses. I'm trying different solutions, but so far none worked as I expected.

When my battery is empty again and fully charged I'll see if something is working better. Next temporary solutions I'll try will be:

- Uninstall google maps updates

- If that still doesn't work, I'll disable location service. That fixes battery drain but weather widget won't work :(

UPDATE maybe this is the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059

I can't try since I don't have root. Can someone test and report?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Exactly the same here, causing major drain.

Why have a smartphone though if you have to disable everything?

This needs sorting out, and FAST.

Went from 2% hour drain on ICS to 5.9% an hour on JB, absolutely no changes to the system though. So JellyBean is using 3.9% an hour more battery...

Any tips anyone?!
[HTC One X] leoriver42:
Same problem here :confused: I haven't even opened the maps app!
[HTC One X] cheskote:
It doesn't matter. If you have "location" enabled, the system drains battery even if you don't open the Maps app. That is the problem.
[HTC One X] ozzyo99:
I too have the same issue with the battery, since the update it dies remarkably fast, which for a phone that gives 'average' battery life at best isn't great. Now more than ever I look at my wife's SGS3 with her lovely new dual-screen ability and great battery life more longingly.

From what I can gather, turning location off causes longer lock-on for GPS and other services that are (obviously) location specific, not the end of the world, but I wish there was a way to roll-back to ICS. JB has given me NOTHING of use, Google Now is merely a toy and offers no real value (to me at least) and the phone doesn't feel any more powerful... ICS was smooth enough to my eyes.

Next stop, SGS4 or Nexus 4 if they ever offer a 32GB version... I'm done with HTC.
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
since upgrading to JB, I've noticed that my battery drain on standby is a lot worse than on ICS. Like everyone else. So I downloaded better battery and basically I have a partial wakelock from AudioOut_4, beside the "traditional" networklocationprovider (with its insane number of wake ups).

In the stats regarding the partialwakelocks, AudioOut_4 has a very high consumption, over 13%, after that is ConectivityService with 2.7%(my Wifi is always on) and G+ sync with 1.1%( even though i don't use it at all) and all others have under .3% (including the 2 networklocationprovider-that still have those crazy numbers of wakes).

So what in the hell is this AudioOut_4 wakelook?

I have the latest update and battery drainage is still the same like before.

Did anyone deactivated/disabled Google now? If that's working, how it's done?

My hourly drainage is also around 5.5-5.9%, so i'm in the same boat.
[HTC One X] cheskote:
It seems AudioOut_4 is related to notification sounds. Check in settings->sound that sounds for the lock screen and touching the screen are disabled. That should help reducing AudioOut_4 wakelocks. If you already have them disabled, enable them and disable them again, just in case.

I think I have managed to sort out LocationProvider and Maps wakeloks, at least improve them a lot. This is what I did:

- uninstall Google Maps updates

- under settings->debug: enable simulated locations

- under settings->location: 1) disable location reporting 2) reinstall location service (last option of the menu) 3) re-enable location reporting = undo step 1.

- re-install Google Maps updates

Hope it helps!
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
For audio: those sounds were disabled so I enabled and re-disabled them, as you said

form maps: do you have location reporting enabled? I uninstalled updates, done what you said..let's see the results..thx for help
[HTC One X] cheskote:
Yes, now I have location reporting enabled and It works fine :victory: First issue solved: no more insane amount of wakeloks because locations or maps :good:

Still having huge battery draining thoug, and it's because AudioOut_4. It keeps my phone awake like 45% of the time, so the battery should last almost double :eek: :crying:

If anyone can give some more information about this process, it will be very helpful. Specially the ones with rooted phones can investigate more.

If I find something else, I will report.
[HTC One X] Gingernut78:
Disabling Google Now but leaving location enabled solved the drain on my phone, don't mind as I don't use Google Now really.
[HTC One X] Nasalhair:
I must be doing something wrong. I updated my branded Orange UK One X on 26th December, charged it the next night, haven't charged it since then and I'm still on 32% now. Using it the same way I did on ICS but with that I had to charge every day or two. Oh, and I have Google Now configured too. The battery is suddenly phenomenal!
[HTC One X] djaidyc:
I have the AudioOut_4 wakelock its when I Receive Message,Email, Gtalk notifications and any other notifications ie Ebay etc or phone calls while the screen is off. Which I presume is what its for.
[HTC One X] Gingernut78:
Yea, AudioOut_4 = Speaker.
[HTC One X] cheskote:
Ok, I supposed it was for something related with the audio. But check the screenshot: that is not normal.

I didn't have 2800 notifications in 5 hours of battery life, and it kept the phone awake during 46 minutes...
[HTC One X] djaidyc:
That does seem a lot. I've just done a quick test and had 10 Gtalk notifications, AudioOut was on for just over 2 minutes with just them notifications.
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
Same at me!

It's clear that there's something keeping phone from entering deep sleep and it's awakening it all-time.

Is this a HTC related wakelock or Android/JB one, because next step is to ask HTC or Google what the heck is that?

I don't have it on my stock ICS HTC EVO 3D (there it's just AudioOut_3 and it's usage is under 1%. By the way, stand by time of my EVO 3D is just brilliant, I usually pass the 2 days landmark with about 1 hour and something of screen on and some talking and playing. And it has the same battery and same configuration -WiFi ON all time and auto sync- like my HOX)
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Yeah exactly the same issue here, same wakelocks and all.

I thought audioout_4 was to do with sound clicks when you touch the keypad etc, but 1- mine are off and 2- its happening when asleep.

So I dno, disabling Google Now does work, but what the hecks the point, that was one of JB's main features and doing all this takes the "Smart" out of the "Phone".
[HTC One X] cheskote:
I finally solved it, now my HOX drains about 1% per hour, with data, sync, and location reporting enabled :highfive:

OP of thread was right. I can confirm the culprit is some app that was working fine in ICS but not under JB. I removed "suspicious" (related to audio) apps and also apps that I rarely use. And it works now as it should.

So:

Location wakelocks -> already explained how I fixed it, mainly is reinstall location service.

AudioOut_4 wakelocks -> uninstall apps till you find which one/ones is causing your problems.

Here is the list of apps that I removed, maybe it helps someone. Take into account that some of them were not suspicious, but I don't use them much. So it was easier trying to fix the wakelocks if I removed a lot of them at once. Definitely, one or more of them were causing the trouble:

* androidVNC

* BubbleUPnP

* Paper Camera

* Chrome

* CID Getter

* Guia TV

* ING Direct

* MathStudio

* MX Player

* Scope Beta

* Screen Standby

* Settle Up

* Shazam

* Sygic

* Google Translator

* Xbox SmartGlass

If you have the same problem, you can try first uninstalling apps from the list if you have them. Hope it helps someone!
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
From the list of apps that you uninstalled, I have just Chrome, MX player, Shazam, Sygic. So it's easier for me to find the culprit, I hope. Of course, I'll take them one by one and I'll start with my new enemy, since they dumped Flash (Chrome, of course). But Sygic has greater chances to be the rogue app: navigation app, one of my best friends, who owns a SG3 has it, also, and he has AudioOut_2 at 5% (not 12-15% like us, but still)

I'll report with my findings
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
YOU DON'T SAY !

I haven't got a SINGLE one of those apps, yet I still have the drain....

I only ever install known apps, such as Tasker, HD Widgets etc, and am even more careful as to download apps I won't use, I have hardly any apps, as I only have ones that are a necessaity, not a single game etc.

So WHAT IS CAUSING MY WAKELOCKS !

Would a logcat help this situation?
[HTC One X] cheskote:
I wrote that list just in case someone wanted to try with those apps first.

Probably there's more than one app that doesn't work as it should in JB... you'll have to try with the ones you have. I install only known apps too, but after the upgrade something wasn't working with exactly the same apps that worked fine under ICS.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
There will be probably a lot more apps that are not yet fully compatible with JB and can cause wakelocks.

Have you tried my workaround as shown in the 1st post? It's not the fastest method I know, but at least you should be able to build up your phone without wakelocks, like I did.

Just keep track in a spreadsheet wich apps you install on what day, so you can roll-back when you bump on something you don't like and the phone starts to drain again.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Seems like I'ma have to Factory Reset or something.

Bah, only just factory reset just before JB... CBA Again :D

Will live with it for a while, until I feel like I can be bothered.
[HTC One X] Simba501:
You said you don't have many apps; I'd start there (uninstalling apps). You won't learn anything from a factory reset. Figure out what the issue is, or it seems likely that you'll encounter it again.

Did you restore Titanium data for any of your apps? If so, clearing application data could be a solution. Incompatible data across Android versions or ROMs could cause issues in the form of app misbehavior (FCs, subpar performance, etc.) or excessive battery drain.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
I've disabled Chrome (you can't uninstall it) and, despite is too early to say, it looks like AudioOutput_4 si awakening the phone a lot less now. The drainage is now at 2.0%.

Now i've got only another wakelog ConectivityService..that's eating like 1-2% (not so much like AudioOut_4 before, around 12-15%)..if i can resolve it i'm sure that..that's all of them and no more drainage.

Unfortunatelly, Y!Mail just went crazy and synced like 20 min..so the drainage is pretty high..i'll report later.
[HTC One X] knoxy5000:
After my phone updated to JB i can bearly make a day without it needing charging again. And ive just done a factory reset on NYE to clear that android.process.acore issue along with other issues. Its still no better. At least with ICS i could manage two days sometimes. Im not doing anything different and ive only a handful of apps installed. Clearly a software issue that needs fixing imho.

Also since JB it seems to take alot longer to actually charge my phone aswell. Anyone else notice this ?
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
Have you installed betterbatterystats apk? do you have some reading from it?

My phone is charging same like in ICS.
[HTC One X] knoxy5000:
Nope not got any battery apps installed at all, bearly 20 apps installed. which is just official ones like ebay amazon imdb etc
[HTC One X] adi_ilie:
Please, install this app. As a member of xda, i think there's a free version on this site for us. After you fully charge the phone and use it for several hours (no games\music, just browsing and sync, text and calls), in menus, you'll select "partial wakelocks" instead of "other". And there you'll find what have used your phone. And see what is causing your drainage. You'll find on this thread different problems and different solutions.

But with stock app, that shows you only core apps as the culprit..there's nothing more to to.
[HTC One X] Gingernut78:
Chrome installed on mine and it dosen't cause any reasonable standby drain, I'm getting like under 1,5% an hour with sync enabled.
