[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea2605:
What I want:

Save battery by turning wifi off during screen off.

Issue:

By trying to save battery like this I get a hugh battery drain by a wakelock called

wifi state machine (YOU WILL ALSO GET IT, TRUST ME. AND HELP ME).

No app ...not Tasker (different scripts tested, tested also one of my own),

not 2-3 Battery saving apps,... nothing I tried could prevent that this wakelock

wifistatemachine starts after some hours (after boot) and drains 40% of my battery

and reduces my screen on time (minus 1,5h).

So I searched again for a solution:

What I found is ridiculous... This is a structural android issue dating back to 2009

(http://lwn.net/Articles/318611/) and wasn't solved yet by google ...

There are dozens of threads of people suffering from the same issue

since 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, ... (even in the sony forums).

Just to mention some threads:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/49771?start=10&tstart=0

http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-android-system-process-draining-battery.html

They all want only one thing: wifi off during screen off to save battery, but

instead this wakelock reduces battery life ( in my case: minus 1,5 h screen on time).

So I tried to fix it by myself, because I thought maybe somehow it might get solved:

Tried all kinds of apps as I said (tasker,...), tried several fw-versions (currently latest .253) for my xperia Z,

tried rooted and unrooted, before removing bloatware/after removing bloatware, tried deleting fastdormancy.apk and .odex,

tried with stock kernel and doomkernel, Stamina On / Off, Battery save mode On / Off, ....

well I don't know what I could do else... nothing helped to kick this wakelock in the aaa.

Any help ?! I'm getting crazy and I want to fffffff solve this in 2013 :eek:

IDEAS ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
You are complicating things for yourself.

Keep the wifi on during sleep should be at always, and don't worry you can keep wifi on even if you are not using it cause there is a power saving system specified for wifi so it wont consume lot of battery when it's idling.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icstm:
sorry for awakening an old thread, but I see the same thing on my Xperia T.

Just to summarise the problem, the wifistatemachine wakelock occurs when wifi is left ON.

This wakelock causes the device to spend a shorter period of time (though still over 50% in an hour) in deep sleep when the screen is off.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Get yourself a BatteryGuru and 10.3.1.A.0.244 4.2.2FW latest installed. 253 and 307 of 4.1.2 kinda crappy updates. Mine here works fine left 70% for 3days wifi auto On-off using BatteryGuru. But not said all devices got their wakelock unfixed. SamsungGT7500 ICS got them fixed and slept like dormant baby.

My brother flashed a Kernel on my Galaxy Nexus and now it need to be flashed again because its hanging on the bootloop.. but I cannot enter the download mode because the volume down button is not working.. are there other ways to get to the Download mode or is there any hard reset button inside of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
'adb reboot recovery'. This didn't make sense? Go read "android 101" thread by efrant, which is stickied here. And recovery combo is volume up + power, if I'm not mistaken (I almost never use buttons to reach fastboot or recovery modes)

Is there a more current ROM other than Gingerbread 2.3.3 that I can put onto my Droid Pro?

I have already rooted it.

If so, can someone throw a download location at me?
[Droid Pro General] Vlasp:
Is it an XPRT? The most recent for the Pro is the CM9 V3 in the Dev Section and for the XPRT is Rongsang's CM10 under the CM10 thread in the General Section. You can't flash the CM10 without asking him instructions, tho.

You know if your's is an XPRT if it is on Sprint or Boost, Pro's are on Verizon.
[Droid Pro General] ffemtjacque:
I'm on Verizon so that'd make it a Pro I believe.

Will his build work with mine?

Well, I am working on porting cm10 to the Pro, but the V3 CM9 is the latest for the Pro.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] hoseman1979:
Having two young boys (2 & 5), who enjoy rough housing and android tablets, I felt the need to have a more durable case for my n10. Since January, I have been using a poetic revolution case. The poetic was fine, but I scratched up the screen cover and wanted something else. I decided to try the BobjGear case. This is my opinion of the case.

The case is a simple silicon design, heavy around the the perimeter, setting the screen and back of the tablet into the plane of the case about 3/16". The ports are plenty accessible and the cameras and speakers are unobstructed. Due to the silicone being thin in certain areas, the space between the screen and the speaker feels flimsy. The same problem exists between the speaker and the ports for the usb/headphones and the hdmi. There is a air space that forms between the back of the tablet and the inside of the case which might be found annoying as it makes the back feel a little insecure and wiggly. There is no screen protection other than the space between the plane of the front edge of the rubber and the glass so an additional screen protector may be necessary. The case adds considerably to the thickness and weight of the tablet.

I feel that the spots of flimsiness and wiggliness don't really take away from the protection. The gains in thickness and weight were expected and don't bother me. Personally, I am very happy with the protection provided by the BobjGear case and would recommend it.

factory reset. try a custom ROM, it will speed things up

If you flash it or change the rom you may void warranty .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
First try to disable all animations on developer options,then clean your cache (there are plenty of it on Play Store)

Also, disable bloatware but you will need to root your phone first, and you can try different lauchers like Nova,Apex..

BTW, I would recommend you to flash different firmware like XXEMB1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin2:
Are you using Facebook Messenger? That really messes up memory management somehow everytime I install it. Same goes for other bloatware/background services.. disable them or change their sync behavior.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qslinger:
Custom ROM is the way to go.

I prefer going the custom ROM way. I am on Liquid smooth ROM v2.5 and its pretty good! Only try it if u don't care about the warranty!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Engineer:
Hi haroon,

If you don't want to flash any custom rom or kernel.

-Try to disable animations in developer options. Window transitions will be fast.

-Force gpu rendering for 2D. It will help your system allocate graphic processing strictly to the gpu.

If you mean custom ROM there are alot of ROMs available. Do your research.

I want to change songs without unlocking, from lock screen. I am currently using Suvi v10 ROM.
[Micromax A110] adil uddin:
Depends!

Well.. It depends on your music player.. if you use a player such as PowerAmp then you'll find an option for Lockscreen Control in settings.

Then you can change or pause songs on Lockscreen itself.. this option is available with almost all major audio players in the play store..

Hope it helped :good: :)

I will try

I can make but smali files used in this guide are taken from guides only. So maybe posting the same guide violate the rules of XDA.

Moreover I have already made it for most ROMs for mini then why u want to make it urself

1.do u have sufficient space in system if yes then

2.simply extract systemui from my zip,move it to system/app set permission

X X

And reboot

3.if still doesn't work extract system ui from ur ROMs zip and repeat the above steps

For which android version u r trying to make the mod
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] azlav:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arpitkh96:

U should check ur apk manager/tool.

1.decompile systemui

2.change clock color in styles.XML

Then compile and push in system app see if it works

Make sure u have correct framework installed

Behave properly! I can see you posting on few other threads the same post that its not working. You need to know something before abusing the one who made this mod

I've been running Mimicry 1.5 for quite a while now (and very happy with it) but I'm interested in the Slim Bean thing; it looks pretty cool. I'm not clear on the advantages though (if any). Can someone fill me in?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Well we are talking jb vs ics for one, I would suggest making a nandroid and try it out, if you don't like it restore nandroid and the worse thing you can say is you wasted 20 min of your life...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Receiver996:
I agree to the post above.

I've tried both roms and I prefered the SlimBean Rom ;) It is very smooth and personally I've had some problems with mimicry. For me it is the best JB Rom I've ever tried :)

Good luck ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] skui:
I've been on mimicry (every release) since this new rom few days ago, and i didn't have so many problems with it: some casual hot reboots, or really little and stupid issues, same as slimbean, but we have to consider this is the first release.

There aren't big differences on usage between those roms ( except for OS features ofc); BUT, this rom i found it slim for real: smooth like mimicry at least, faster on response and better battery life.

So, i agree with the users above: if u liked mimicry take a nandroid backup, and give slimbean a shot! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] gzimzzz:
Mimicry 1.5 is faster

you can try to install 15 same aplication on you phone and than you can see wich one is faster Mimicry 1.5 or slim bean
[G2 and Desire Z General] DerNetzreporter:
running right now slim bean,

was very happy at the beginning with all the features and the speed. But after restoring my backup (70 apps with mybackup-pro) the SlimBean Rom is getting sometimes really slow. Not always, but browser is sometimes not reacting or I get system FC or the phone is not waking up or apps are not responding.

With CM10.1 v21 I had installed 200+ Apps, the phone was a little bit slower but responding to all my actions and phone buttons.

Hopefully flinny integrates in v23 a few SlimBean features.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shadowfist23:
Tried slimbean but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to run smoothly - things start hanging and frequently memory seems very tight, even when I'm running nothing but the core gapps with it. Darn shame too, I'm quite fond of many of the look&feel updates.

I'm not altogether sure what I could do to tweak things further; I have system and data partitions formatted to ext4, made sure I did a full format/wipe, immediately did the switch to 240dpi before touching anything... I'm not quite sure how to tell what all's being loaded beyond looking at Running Apps, maybe I could trim things down if I fiddle with the "Performance" option in settings, but I don't know a lot about that. Seems odd that Play Music is running all the bloody time.

Mimicry 1.5 runs very smooth for me - Google+ and Facebook used to hog up memory but Greenify seems to have taken care of that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dsip:
Try limiting the number of background processes (under developer options) to 2; may be a total illusion, but I think it made things much better for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shadowfist23:
I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Hrm. Oddly, I've just noticed the Camera app is missing. I somewhat suspect (but haven't tested) that it might have been left out of 6.2, as one person in the Development thread mentioned it missing but others have not, and I'm guessing he loaded 6.2 straight up (as I have) and most folks upgraded from 6 to 6.2.

Is there a way to backup/restore one's Settings? I find that's the tedious part about reflashing - I bet there's a tool for it I'm just unfamiliar with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DerNetzreporter:
i think there is an option in mybackup to save system-settings and restore them later. and i use nova-launcher, which allows me to save all the homescreens but without the widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shadowfist23:
Ah ha. Fixed when I did a FORMAT of System and Data instead of just a wipe of them (using 4EXT Recovery Control). Another rookie mistake on my part...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zanys:
I try a lot of roms, now I using SlimBean. Fast, modern and without big errors.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
good question!

I wish to know too. I use to run mimicry, but since a few month I can't get tired of Venom viperZ. Since the 1.x version, I have absolutely NO issue.

The 2.0 is really fast and usable.

I"ll maybe try slimbean if there's so much good review on that one.
