[Q] [Problem] [TX] "Android System" Processes & Packages Eat Up Battery?

Hey dears, I just noticed a very annoying fact on Power Management in Settings :(

on 18h of On Battery usage, now the battery meter shows that Screen On just has used the battery of 25%, and the more surprising fact is that "Android System", which includes some packages like "Extension For Throw" and "WFD", eats up 45%!!!!!!

can you check yours?!!!

is that normal?!!!

I'm totally stock, .67 Hong Kong, Unlocked, stock kernel, just removed bloatwares....

Tnx a million :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
try turn off sharing content

Setting>More>Media Server setting
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
i've removed the corresponding app, i'ts not even installed, let alone consuming battery, the only mirroring app is Throw itself, which is always off, i don't use it much of an often :)

it's weird, never saw this with a bunch of phones i had, especially Xperias :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
This is 2013

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
So, you haven't any clue what would cause the battery drain, hm?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
It's easy to know what eat battery, it Sony system itself

If U don't want system eat a lot decompile framework and remove app like Throw or any app that you doesn't use it

XD

Also removing bloatware help though if you don't wanna play with framework
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] exeon:
Same on my XTX. I have check my friend's XS and the Android System is not on the top of the list but the Screen. So I believe that there must be something wrong with my settings. Hope I can solve it here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] brahweiz:
I got this problem too, my TX got a full day with normal use, check power management and Android System load about 45%, higher than screen usage, but a few days ago when I just bought this phone I got about almost 2 days of full use, and Android System just at 20%.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
I've removed the bloatwares, EVERYTHING you can think of, just the Throw is still there, which i don't use it at all, and WFD, it's weird

So, here comes a question, if i remove a bloatware, but i haven't edit Framework, will that app still consume battery?!!

obviously the answer is "No", because the app has been removed, but what you said made me think this way....

and one other thing, any suggestion or solution for it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
No more solution for now =(

Reboot can fix, but sometimes media server can eat a lot of battery

Also our display if 1st eat a lot of battery

You can use peetr rom, like promising for Xperia T, but you need patch to using it on TX

I'm too lazy to testing it, I will trying figuring what eat battery on TX

The 1st culprit is Android System, Media server and display

But I'm going to ignore display, since we use almost display everyday

XD

So, the conclusion is Android System and Media server for my case

=)

While making a phone call the proximity turns the screen off and keeps it off, making it difficult to toggle the screen while in calls.

This is really annoying while calling your voicemail.

Currently running unofficial CM

Thanks for your thoughts.

Full story Here:

I get to mess around with the DNA for a few days, but i'm having a proximity sensor problem,

with CM and Stock Rom, do you have the same? Or is the device I have just defective.

It's a mostly an in call problem, where the phone screen goes blank and

(lets say you're in voicemail) you can't dial your password etc.

(The Screen won't come on even with the power button until 30 seconds after the call has ended.)
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
Your screen should come back on right when you take it away from your face. Do you perchance have a screen protector on it?

[HTC Droid DNA] softBrikt:
I have the DNA and I am experiencing the same thing, but we probably have a little bit are a different scenario. Here are the details.

My digitizer broke so I bought a new LCD/digitizer assembly (LCD broke when trying to replace just the digitizer). Prior to it breaking I had CM 10.1 installed. When I replaced the screen I started experiencing the same issue described above. As soon as I place a call the screen goes blank and does not come back on until 10-20 seconds after a phone call. Regardless of formatting/wiping/etc. this has never gone away.

I installed Venom 1.3.1 to see if the ROM had anything to do with it and now, randomly, the sensor works. Also, even if the screen does shut off when press Send, I can press the power button to bring the screen back up (i.e. 5/10 phone calls the proximity sensor will work as it should. The other times the screen will go blank and pressing the power button will turn it back on.

I reinstalled CM 10.1 this afternoon to test a fresh install (I booted into recovery wiped factory data and formated SDcard then installed CM10.1) and the screen shuts off when I press send and stays off until the call is disconnected.

Is this a proximity sensor driver issue?

I have not tried using the phone after I returned back to stock flashing the RUU method.

Thanks for any feedback.
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
i believe its controlled by the kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] softBrikt:
I have never been very enthusiastic about flashing different Kernels (I haven't researched enough about them to know if I can flash any kernel with any ROM). I will research that and test accordingly. Thank you. I will report back here when I have reached a conclusion or with further questions.

[HTC Droid DNA] softBrikt:
I'll do some testing and see what happens. Thank you.
[HTC Droid DNA] RhinoShock:
Guess I should have looked in the questions and answers section first. The app i reference in my second post here should fix it for the OP. Crank the top slider up to 100 and see if the 'far' or 'near' status changes when you put your finger over the sensor. If it does then adjust it to activate when an object is very close.

I also tried swapping the speaker from the other phone.

Any ideas what else to check? All connections seem fine etc
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stokie2012:
I have searched on here (and searching on Google is a pain, if i wanted HTC One X results i would have typed the X into the search!!) and i cant seem to find anything....

On Samsung S3 and Note 2, to change the DPI, it was a simple case of using Rom Toolbox to change the build.prop file to a different DPI (240 was the way to go) and after a reboot, there it was. Opened challenges with certain Touchwiz items, but in general it worked great.

How do we do something similar on the One? I had a brief flirtation with Slim ROM (very brief as i couldn't get touchscreen to work), but it had a better DPI and looked slick. Sense 5 on the same DPi would be just perfect for me.

Thanks

2. Restore a nandroid.

3. Try to clean caches through recovery. if that doesnt work:

4. Try to dirty flash the Viper Rom, without the kernel, if it works try to flash the kernel. if that doesnt work:

5. If that doesnt work try wiping data and system, and reflash the Viper Rom. if that doesnt work:

I have a Xperia Mini (ST15i).

I don't Like to unlock bootloader. Rooted using Eroot.installed cwm recovery using Xparts.

Is it possible these?

1- flash any kernel

2- install jelly bean/ICS

3- mount sd-ext.

Please give advantages and disadvantages of locked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Siddhesh Sapre:
Dear friend,

First of all Greetings our Xperia family!!!

Please note two things here:

1.Locked bootloaders by default(not unlocked and then relocked) can install the ICS Roms or GB based roms which are fully compatible with only the STOCK(kernel which came with your brand new phone preinstalled or flashed sony stock firmware).If you see a note in any rom list saying that you must install an XYZ kernel,then you need to unlock your bootloader to flash that kernel with CWM.

2.If you want to install Jellybean roms,then unlocking is a must.Note that you will loose the Digital Rights Management(DRM)keys,which will void your warranty.Only rooting with locked bootloader does not void warranty.But for JB Roms,you must unlock bootloader,as it requires completely different custom kernels.

Advantages of locked bootloader:You can claim your warranty anytime if something goes wrong with your phone,withount paying any extra charges to the SONY/Sony Ericsson and Co.Locked bootloader, means that you will have working TrackID and Music Like button in the apps.

Disadvantages:You cannot flash the CWM recovery within your kernel or system,the XPARTS recovery is good,however,it is installed within your sd-card.And you cannot install JB Roms atleast from FREEXPERIA and/or other JB roms.Also custom kernels cannot be installed,which keep updating and adding new features to your CWM recovery.

And ICS Roms arae available for the rooted,locked bootloader with stock kernel too,which then after installation,give you a preinstalled CWM Recovery.

PLEASE HIT THANKS,IF I HELPED.

Thanks,

Regards:laugh:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Siddhesh Sapre:
It is the link2sd script which does not work on locked bootloader.Still a set of advice,copy your contents of sd card on your PC and then format your sd card from your handset,then try reinstalling apps and all stuff with a freshly flashed stock firmware.Shouldn't be a problem.
