Deep sleep is the lowest state CPU can go and it is the most battery friendly state you can have.

If you want to improve on your battery life as much as possible:

Go to Settings -> Performance (if you don't have Performance button than go to About phone and quickly tap on Build Number at least 5-6 times) -> Processor -> Minimum CPU frequency. Set minimum to 192MHz.

I believe (but I'm not sure) minimum CPU freq. is equal to deep sleep state so lowering it can help improving battery life. Disadvantage can be a bit slower wakeup and longer wakelocks (especially if you have many IM apps or push mail that uses wakelocks quite a bit).

Or to be as clear as possible: It is better to do thing at 384MHz in 5 seconds than on 192MHz in 10 seconds.

Second thing is kinda tricky - undervolting your CPU.

Make backup before undervolting!

This depends on your CPU and it's undervolting skills. Download IncrediControl, run it and go to tab "SVS". There you can undervolt your CPU. Put your lowest frequency voltage on 800mV (I think most of Xperia S can hadle that). Personally I lowered all frequency states at the same time (you have that button, it lowers for -25mV every time it is pressed) until I had 800mV on every frequency as high as 972MHz (or something like that).

If your phone freezes or reboots - don't worry, reboot it and try to put voltages higher. If you are unable to do that restore your backup you made and try again but now with higher voltages.

Do not overvolt!

Undervolting will make your CPU use less energy for same frequency. That means a bit longer battery life (in both sleep and wake states) and a bit lower temperatures.

Unfortunately I don't have SlimBean installed (waiting for 3.4 kernel with CAF drivers) but when I did have it I used those methods to prolongate my battery.

THX switzerland,

for your tips. I use all of it for years. These are not new to me and most help when device is in use.

What I see here looks to me very much like a BUG in kernel. The same problem i already know from other devices.(HTC oneV, Samsung GT8150). There the problem came up with the 3.0 kernel. Previously in 2.6 Deepsleep worked correct and with some 3.4 kernels then it worked again.

Now i have found opensemc beta 2 kernel fix.zip on a german website. Now i have installed this Fix, wipe cache and dalvik. tomorrow will look like if this helped. The first impression is good, but the device must now first a few hours sleep.

Update after one night:

The kernel fix from german website works awesome, even a little better than Stockrom. Drain in Flightmode only 2mA=0,1%/h. :good::good:

So it needs to be. :good::D

But why is it only in this one kernel? What is so special about it?

You can not take the fix in all the other custom kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
I use this kernel and I mentioned to u that kernel

switch between profiles

Thanks [MENTION=2508791]schalmers[/MENTION] , but this is not what I ment. Yes, there is a bunch of profile managers, I testet some of them, Llama for instance is a good one, too.

I simply wanted to make more out of the inbuild tools of this amazing rom. Profiles in slimbean are a good idea, but you can only manually switch between them, except the newly implemented wifi trigger.

So maybe it's an idea for the dev(s) to implement a time trigger and a location (gsm) based trigger for profiles. And a hook for lockscreen or desktop for quick access to profiles.

Nevertheless: keep up the good work, slimbean team, I'm looking forward to the new kernel to show up in slim. :fingers-crossed:

power consumption

Yes, the main tricks for battery live are

- OpenSEMC kernel beta2

- min freq to 192

- max freq to something like 1300

- governor "ondemand"

- scheduler "deadline"

- undervolting (I use -50mV for all steps)

Most impact you will see, when phone is not in use e.g. in standby or sleep mode. Network and screen are eating battery, there is no way to avoid this. Don't forget that this is a powerfull smartphone.

With OpenSEMC kernel beta2 the Accudrain in flightmode now perfect in SlimBean. My question is more. If it works with this kernel why the fix was not included in the supplied kernel of SlimBean? :confused:

Is it a faulty mobile part from OpenSEMC kernel beta2? For now I have twice the problem that i had to reboot the phone to receive again after come back from the flight mode.

Accudrain now OK, but now radio faulty.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
For nexus devices it's really possible because of this news. But they received official 4.3 update :) I think we wait maybe a couple more weeks till it come out to all devices including nozomi.

And as I post this, I'll ask again. Can I without any errors on SlimBean side flash any of available 3.4 kernels?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Unfortunately it is not possible to flash 3.4 kernel because many things are incompatible with ROMs that are based on 3.0 kernel. We can only wait for [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] and co. to update it.

Is the opensemc beta2 kerrnel is a flashable through cwm or shoud I fastboot it? Please advice.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] t.daun:
OpenSEMC kernel

I have cwm flashable version but I prefer fastboot. Easiest way is to extract boot.img from .zip and fastboot with flashtool (v 0.9.10.1 is great for that).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jerzyjerzy:
Actually both. You can flash the ZIP through CWM, or extract the boot.img from it and use the fastboot command (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Kernel tuner is not giving me the options to control the frequency and governor of 2nd core.. It just appears then goes away.. What to do? Also I have noticed that the performance recently has gone down substantially.. In the recents bar I only have 15 mb free ram even if there are NO apps running
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Did you use IncrediControl for tuning frequencies? I also had problems with Kernel tuner and with IncrediControl it seems that it works. However, to be honest I don't know is 2nd core affected with frequency control in IncrediControl.

For RAM usage - you can consider cache as available memory because it contains files that are lower priority so in case some app endd additional memory Android memory manager will flush cache to make space for running apps.

To be sure go to settings and in set RAM bar to show only application memory. Return back results that you have :)

EDIT: Also, [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] wasn't on xda for quite a bit and he gave some info in Galaxy Nexus theme.

Well, the most important thing for us is:

Also, there is alpha build of SlimBean 4.3 on Galaxy Nexus. That doesn't mean Nozomi build will be ready this fast but - progress is made. We just have to be patient, not asking for ETAs and be happy that our belobed Xperias will run 4.3 before many other phones :)

I use this rom for a long time and with openSEMC kernel it's simply awesome. There is only one issue left for me which annoys me very much since I'm a camera junkie.. While in the camera app I use my Xperia S's camera button to fokus and shoot pictures but with slimbean it doesn't always shoot the photo. Half-pressing the camera key fokusses the picture all the time but pressing it all the way down doesn't always take it.. Is there any setting I'm missing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
I think that's a known issue of the 4.2.2 Roms..I think ..you confirm it from someone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] t.daun:
Cam

Completely the same here (awesomeness, too :highfive: ).

Inbuild cam resp. gallery app does'nt work very well, that's why I switched to Camera Zoom FX and Quickpic. In the last builds (esp. 7x) are some probs with the hardware camera button. I think this are interferences with the "hardware button action settings", even if they are all "off".
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mister-g1:
I found out that if you start the camera by longpressing the camera button, taking pictures with the camera button seems to work all the time (custom hardware button settings are turned off). Maybe thats a little workaround for now ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
That is a known "bug" from build 6.x onwards. Build 6 is the last one with good working camera hardware button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
Same here, but also the camera can be started only very rarely with the camera button from Standby.

without openSEMC kernel the Rom eats the accu. With openSEMC kernel charge takes a long time.(no fastcharge available)

I found in this state it does not deserve the title "stable". any advanced Stockrom is the better choice for this device. sad, because slimBean is first choice on other devices. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Yes, it's not perfect on our Xperia but it's the only Xperia in SlimBean. At first SlimBean/SlimICS was only available for Samsung/Nexus (also Samsungs) devices. It worked well on my Nexus S and now my fiance also is happy with it on the same Nexus S. I just can't update it to 4.3 because she says that it'll be better to not touch anything because it's good for her. To be honest I flashed 4.1 stock on my XS as soon as I received it and yes, it's working well... BUT. I don't need all Sony stuff, all Sony looks and everything that's on stock Rom. I prefer to use something like aosp/cm and install few apps than remove a lot more. And the best "vanilla" Android for me is SlimBean. When I was using NS I flashed CM's nightly or Slim weeklies but now I flash only stable/monthly releases and I'm glad because it's working great. I have working camera with Snap, I have working navigation with Google Maps, I have fast SMS with Sliding Messaging, tapatalk, reddit, quickpic, next browser. I don't really need 3.4 kernel, I'll flash it when it'll be ready.

Most important thing - developers of your roms don't get paid for this work. They have their own life, own jobs, and yet they make weeklies so please don't say that roms are ****, crap etc etc (it's for everyone, not you heross :) because if you don't like it just don't use it. Try other or stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
This is my problem. I love SlimBean and SlimBean itself is good for XS. I think we need only a kernel with hardware support at the level of many custom stock kernel.

It must not be 3.4! On my old GT-8150 even 2.6 was the best choice for SlimBean.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gallardo994:
You can take stock 2.3 and port it, we will be glad to see that.

I don't want to ask for ETAs or anything because I respect that it's hard work to port something without sources.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
check interface in settings......more or less there you can see all additions we made. There are a ton of compared to CM (OpenSemc).....

just small summary,

QuickSettings customize (tiles per row, favorite contacs, reboot option, colors)

Statusbar (check the date customization eg, colors, transparency)

Navigation bar (not in CM for hardware key phones)

hardware keys like you want

TRDS toggle (no need to flash inverted gapps any more)

etc etc etc

to make it clear...we have about 380 addons/changes compared to a clean AOSP

and about 200 compared to CM ;)

and about 100 which are unique to slim and developed from us and kanged a lot last time from other popular roms.

What is the difference to other roms which are feature rich....we do not integrate one feature which uses resources which are not needed. Even a lot CM commits are overworked from our developers. Thats the reason why (see i9000) we are still one of the fastest roms even with tons of features. (I just say what users are reporting us ;) )

But at the end...user must decide what they want to have or not :) And now Xperia has the choice between 4 roms :)
