battery drain

my phone, as it seems isn’t going into deep sleep AT ALL.. I have a lll the settings as suggested in third post..

this screenshot is from usage during night, than this morning I tried it without wifi on and still not going into deep sleep..

any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
Have you installed wakelock to check what s keeping your phone from deep sleep? How about greenify ?

What governor / scheduler are you using?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
tx for answer

it seems that app lux for auto brightness was stopping it to deep sleep cause since I uninstalled it it’s working fine..

ok now its back on misbehaving and not going into deep sleep AT ALL, I have installed wake lock and now waiting 4 it to gather data...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
- slow

I dont have lags/slows while using the rom. I have animation scale set to 1x and force gpu for 2d = on.

- themes

I believe once you load a theme (from sdcard or store) MIUI unpacks it and the mtz file is gone. Yes I think this is new in v5, cause in v4 you could easily backup the mtz files from /sdcard/MIUI/themes.

So if you want to backup the mtz files, do it before you install them in the theme app.

You can get mtz files from the web-store, too. Just login with your xiaomi account.

Did you delete YellowPages.apk from /system? Mms.apk needs it to run. Btw the same goes for Themes App and the MIUI File Explorer.

If you delete the File Explorer, you cant import Themes from sdcard anymore.

I had to learn both of these the hard way by myself...

Generally you dont want to delete MIUI Apps, as they might be called by other MIUI Apps.

I deleted browser though, which worked fine...

Btw stk.apk now working for you? Did a clean install?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
I have all scales at .5 with force gpu on.

I had frozen several miui apps. Unfreezing them and rebooting plus wipes didnt help. I'm now back on v3.7.19.

Stk.apk is showing now. After reboot it s gone again... In two instances it popped up again after a while :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
which app do you use to freeze? Have you tried using the MIUI Apps to do stuff like this? I mean the Auto-start app, the Permissions app and under settings/app -> disable?

Not sure if it will help though.

So messaging works now with YellowPages enabled?

Maybe it is a similar case with stk.apk? Are you sure you didnt freeze any other app that could prevent it from running? And you wiped EVERYTHING before flashing?

EDIT: In original thread on 4PDA, kosmos2011 announced MIUI 3.9.6. It is not released yet, but it seems users there are also having problems with battery drain. Let's see if he can fix it in the next version. Also there are screenhots of a new camera app in 3.9.6 which works with 8MP :)

[MENTION=4652223]tafarelli[/MENTION]

Clearly some apps keep your phone awake all the time. Post the results of your wake lock app, maybe we can figure out what the cause is.

Which govenor/scheduler are you using? Different ones for screen on/off?

These bugs are ROM related and caused battery drain/lag for me:

- Auto-Brightness has to be off

- All options under settings/sound/system have to be off

- Auto-rotation and WiFi in sleep seem to be fixed in 3.8.30. Before they were causing drain.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
I am using interactive/deadline configuration; I also installed greenify and placed all apps into hibernation mode..

I will posy my wake lock results..

it seems as if it switching between working fine and totally misbehaving regarding deep sleep feature for some reason..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
Deadline is not the best i/o for battery life ...use noop or row...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
Generally I'd apply wheatly/row, but since lack of in fxp kernel, XP is on interactive/noop max 1000 min 200.

Moderate use with browsing internet, checking xda, some facebooking an reading online newspaper ( data subscription, not wifi) listening to Spotify for about an hour. Not bad I'd say. Would drain a lot faster on stock rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
Link2SD

Havent checked autostarts yet; permission app only to enable root

I'm on previous build, but will be flashing latest build, always wipe all when flashing rom, just to be on the safe side :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
Im back on pac v23 cuz i needed to try percys kernel and soon multi boot option :D

But when i was on first version of kronos i was using conservative noop 800/200 mhz during day at work (for a bit of calling and checking mails tapatalk sms...) it was pretty smoth even at 800...i always use greenify too...

Link's up - Downloading MIUI 3.9.6 right now :)

EDIT: first impressions - laggy at first boot, after disabling auto brightness, touch sounds etc, phone's more responsive after reboot. Root explorer included, camera app/new gallery, sim toolkit present from start (haha).

Boot.img seems to be Phantom's kernel with more governors/schedulers.

Where can I find 3.9.6?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reggie2:
We could use the new camera.in 3.9 in the MIUI 3.8??? what is the different between them, it worth changing to the new version??? Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
my battery issues - not going to deep sleep was due to 2 apps: lux for auto brightness and go weather app.

now its working great - see screenshot

btw, I switched to 3.9.6 and it is working fine, only the change in camera (I found that one in 3.8.30 with lesser screen usage on it really bad) is worth switching and it seems to me that phone app is more responsive, as mentioned above you have more governors/shedulers for given kernel..

all in all VERY pleased..

EDIT: ok it seems that it stopped working again - this is very frustrating grrr..

later on I will post my wake lock results

Edit: now working again normally after reboot; real don’t know what to think of this, but now since it‘s working battery life is great - see screenshot..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
thanks for giving some love to us MIUI fans percy :highfive:

Is [MENTION=4828164]sijav[/MENTION] still working on MIUI for Xperia P?

You are doing so much for our device already, thanks for this!

Here you have the direct link to download :)

I dont think the camera will work on 3.8.30, but you can always try and report back here if it works!

For the official changelog of 3.9.6, see here, its also mentioned in the first post :rolleyes:

No video this time though...

I update the 2nd and 3rd post now with the new links and Instructions :highfive:

Oh btw here is my battery life on 3.8.30, pretty good compared to stock rom, I would say.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
wake lock

ok so here are my wake lock screenshots so if anyone can help me I would be grateful

my phone switches from working normally to totally not working regarding deep sleep feature which is causing battery drain; I have deinstalled some apps after which I started working again but than it just stops later on 4 no reason I can tell..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
ok, thanks for the screens :highfive:

Lets see. The first 2 screens you posted earlier are on par with my experience.

91% deep sleep in 7.5h, this was over night?

On the battery use screen, its also ok, phone is mostly sleeping when screen is off.

Now the wakelogs, tbh I dont have a wakelog app installed, cause I dont feel my battery drains that fast.

The top 2 apps are xiaomi and google sync, which seems also normal to me. But someone pls correct me if I am wrong here, pls!

Do you have a xiaomi account and do you use MICloud sync?

Well whatever, you cant freeze those apps anyway....

And these other 2 apps, lux for auto brightness and go weather app, were listed above these 2 before?

Sorry for not really helping much, I just cant find anything thats really wrong there. Maybe someone else?

One last question: How do you determine if your deepsleep is working? You said it works and then it stops working?

I just ask because on the cpuspy screenshot it seems ok to me...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
Xiaomi framework s not even listed in mine. My number one is screen followed by standby, os system and idle
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
yes that screenshot was for working period; than it just stops working - I can tell that it is so cause my battery drains faster and when I reset cpuspy I see that it isn't going into deep sleep at all, sometimes it starts working after reboot, sometimes it doesn’t..

that wakelock screenshots were I guess for time it was working fine so I shouldn't post those..

anyway now I installed app called ds battery saver and it seems to be working but I am not sure in anything any longer cause it is coming and going as I already mentioned..

if there would be a way to keep it functioning and going into DS each time when screen off than this ROM would be just GREAT cause with deep sleep feature it prolongs battery life for about 5 times or so..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Faaipke:
Have you tried flashing again with all wipes, including miui folder on sd as [MENTION=5203094]stothegee[/MENTION] suggested to me earlier? And then fastboot kernel from latest zip and then follow instructions from third post.

EDIT I read somewhere that battery saving apps like juicedefender don't actually work. Greenify on the other hand...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
[MENTION=4652223]tafarelli[/MENTION]

Well, for [MENTION=4659156]Faaipke[/MENTION] and me deepsleep is working fine, so I really assume it's not a ROM issue.

I updated the 3rd post, thats how I installed it. And it's working fine for me.

So just try doing a fresh install maybe?

Now for something completely different, cause this is not a dev thread after all :angel:

MIUI is all about the customization, right? What themes do you guys use?

I love the MIUI online wallpapers you can download and I use an icon pack (MiroEx), but thats all so far.

And a DSP Manager app is a must for me, so I use Viper4Android.

If you guys find something cool, please share :victory:

And what do you guys think of the MI3?

Seems to be a pretty slick phone, if you ask me. 8.1mm thick (!), solid magnesium alloy, fullHD screen, 2,6 GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon,...

And they are aiming for a price of ~300€ in Europe, which seems crazy cheap!

Thats about as much as Xperia P cost, when I bought it :)

Here are some pics:

and a video:

[YOUTUBE]QqW-U9p4dag[/YOUTUBE]
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tafarelli:
yea I guess i will have to do that since this flaw is probably inherited from previous installs since I always do miui restore..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
Sorry about that.

Do you know about Nandroid Manager?

I use the free version, its a pretty cool app.

It restores apps+app data, SMS, call logs straight from a CWM backup.

Contacts are google-synced, so thats all I really need from a backup app.

And you only need one backup for everything, which saves space on the sdcard :D

btw I dont even use Greenify, cause I dont believe in apps like that :D

only SetCpu to tune the CPU and CpuSpy to check it.

Rest I do in MIUI, like disabling app permissions, Autostarts and the MIUI powersave mode (which I do believe in, yes I'm an idiot ;))

I'm using default theme, haven't bothered yet with xiaomi account.

No idea about those phones, but I did get curious for the oppo find 5, but it's more expensive than mi3. Am not looking to spend more than € 300 on a phone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
[MENTION=5203094]stothegee[/MENTION] u thinking about to buy mi3??

Im still wondering if i should i could get xZ for 50€ with my provider's points and its with unlockable bl and mi3 but the thing is...u think its possible to flash something else than miui on these devices?

Still Z1 mini with 4.3 screen is a pure bomb too..and mi3 is just amazing

And still in luv with xP :thumbup:

Don t know what to do lmao :D

No problem here. Go to settings accounts and add. Open account and tick box. Did you try that? :) lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icerebro:
Yes. Tried that. But not working. I just have people details for ticking. I cannot find contacts item. And in the contacts screen when I enter to accounts there is no Google account and I don't have the option for adding one!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stothegee:
These chinese premium phones seem to be really great, but there are taxes and shipping costs, too. And warranty outside of China, I don't know. It's not even sure when or if the MI3 comes to Europe.

You don't rly need a xiaomi account, themes won't work though. The phone locator is maybe nice to have or cloud space, if u need it.

But you did flash a Google Apps package, right?

EDIT: I guess by using phantom kernel, the old WiFi in sleep bug is back. And guess what, it prevents my phone from entering deep sleep. Lol!

Can you guys please confirm this?

Settings/wlan/advanced/WiFi in sleep off, ds works, on, stays at 200mhz

I finally set it up and it seems to be working fine..

Here is screenshot of my home screens, I use Zarkoban theme for all except for icon and ams 4 which I use ios7 theme.. I have 3 screens and use folders for favourite apps, for tools apps and others I just put in others folder..

All in all MIUI is awesome..

Hi peeps... back again...

Quick question?

do any of the stable custom roms out there have the full screen rez for the hd 7"? most I've noticed seem to be less and tbh it's the only reason i got the fire hd over some cheap Chinese knock off... I'm kind of please with it but the software is really constricting and I'd love to remove the ad's from the lock screen... that angers me to no end!!!

but as I said.. are there any custom roms that keep the screen at full rez?

Ta!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psych0phobia:
The screen resolution is ALWAYS 1280x800. If you're talking about DPI, you might want to read up on what it really is for Android devices. Lowering the DPI has an effect that looks similar to raising the resolution on a standard computer monitor.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mr_coimbatore:
I bought I9082 from China Unicom (which I believe is firmware locked).

I tried to upgrade the firmware manually through ODIN.

But in ODIN it stops at setup connection

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Then I rooted with CWM and loaded Custom ROM.

Later I upgraded a custom rom - XXAMD6 on baseband ZNMAMB3.

But the problem now is Radio is switched off. So the mobile is not active.

When I try to make a call it says Flight mode is activated. But really flight mode is switched off.

I am able to receive calls and messages

Do you have any solution for this.

Does this mean the firmware is locked?

Any possibility that I can revert back to original stock ROM I9082ZNAMB3

I have this stock ROM downloaded but could not load this through ODIN (seems there is some lock since it stops at setup connection in ODIN).

Any possibility that this stock ROM can loaded through CWM?

My phone is kind of half-bricked since I couldn't make any call also not able to upgrade.

Please give me solution.

Solution

Hi, Yes I found the solution.

Thanks to tonylin880806 who provided me some links.

I am in Shanghai as well. I took my phone to electronics markets in Xujiahui and Zhangyang Road. In both places, every one said they cannot do anything. The reason may be they don't know or do not want to take any risk or bricking the phone.

Also I went to Samsung service center, they said I have void my warranty. I asked them only to restore the original firmware. But he said the only option is to change the CPU and that will cost more money. I asked for alternate options and he said no.

Then, I re-explored the posts asked if Tony has send me an option

At first, you should upgrade ZNAMB3 to ZNAMD1 with Odin. ZNAMD1 is the office OTA upgrade for ZNAMB3 sent by Samsung.

You can use below link for ZNAMD1 : http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=3590848074

to download ZNAMD1 which is official and push this through Odin.

So now you will be back with your original firmware without google account.

After this, you can root the phone with CWM.

Then you can load any compatible custom ROMs. But you should note that our handsets cannot load firmwares of all countries. Might be they are firmware locked or modem not compatible for other region firmwares.

I have loaded below custom ROM which is very similar to original firmware with google account. This is really good.

ZNAMD1_rc2 - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=517042&uk=2030731697

Also, in this your memory card is swapped with internal memory and have chrome browser. USB OTG is missing.

Only problem I face is, when I install google talk apk there is some problem. Whenever I get an incoming notification from google talk, it hangs and it says process.google.com stopped. So I have installed hangout and its ok with hangout now.

Hope this helps you.........:cool:
