[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Best advice is to read the development section and see what seems to be popular. I personally look for good stability and battery and look at thread views and the amount of activity to see whats popular. Make a nandroid backup, download a few ROMs that interest you and try each of them out. You can then compare and know exactly what suits you. Sometimes whats good for one, isn't good or another and vice versa, so the best way is to just experiment, you always have your nandroid if things dont work out. :)

Most if not all custom roms will be flashable via recovery, but there should be installation instructions in the thread and help if you need it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tingtan:
You can use Odin to flash recovery (CWM, TWRP, Philz). Download and copy the ROM to microSD or internal flash, enter into recovery, backup and flash the ROM (sometime you may need factory reset, use microSD). I have i9500, I use Philz recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860), Omega ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232887), Perseus kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272602).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
My Xperia V was draining much battery while sleeping, so yesterday I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2 hoping it could get better.

But it's still draining almost 30% in a period of 8 hours, while I'm sleeping.

I can notice a huge drain caused by Google Services and have already greenified some apps.

It can't be normal, right?! Could someone help me?

Despite this problem, now I have a really better smartphone... So, thank FXP and, please, keep supporting Xperia V. :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
Not sure if this question belongs to be an own thread...but ok. here we go.

from my experience with Cm i can tell you, if you want better battery life, then you maybe should use a stock firmware!

I used CM and AOKP some weeks before, but the battery drain wasnt normal, not to say horrible.

But this is my experience. You should ask in your CM-Rom Thread, or CM Q/A Thread i think.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
I'm a new member and I couldn't ask this in CM thread :(

I understood what you've said, but even using stock rom I was having that percentage of draining at night...

Do you have a Xperia V?

Could you (or someone else) tell me how much draining is considered normal in the period I've mentioned before?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
30% in 8 hours means that on average your battery will last a day.

That is perfectly normal.

Also, if you keep flashing stuff and installing apps then it drains battery quicker. Leave it alone for a week and see if it settles down.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
Sorry, i have a Xperia T.

in the xperia T thread of tilals unofficial CM build (development section) someone mentions also such problems:

So, i guess its normal? But an actual CM User can give you better report. Not using it anymore.

awww, gregbradley?

30% in 8hours sleeping? horrible....but you are right, let it settle, fmlogin
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Omg, my Galaxy s3 loses only 2% in the same period while sleeping, it's a BIG difference :(

I had been facing this problem since I bought this phone (2 months ago), that's why I tried to flash CM yesterday... So, I think that nothing will change if I just wait...

Anyway, thank you guys...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
apologies, I didn't see that it was 8 hours while you were asleep. That is not right. But it may be because its working hard after a flash. Please leave it for a while and it should settle, or install better battery stats app (Free on xda) and see whats keeping the phone awake.

Also check what your cpu is set at and the governor, if its on performance it will be maxing out all the time..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
The governor is ondemand and I didn't change the clock of cpu...

I'll install the app and come back with a screenshot, so I think it'll be easier to find some problem ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] larditi:
Hi,

I'm running the stock firmware. The battery drain during one night (about 8 hours) is ~ 5%.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xcyber_knightx:
try experiment with scheduler also.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Is this an app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xcyber_knightx:
nope.it cpu scheduler.maybe can give another result.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mavhia:
are u using Xperia V?

my XV drain ~ 30% in the stock firmware
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Mavhia, can you notice an unusual consume from google services?

Good to know that this isn't happening only with my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Some screenshots.

The graphs show another problem: it is like the phone just know that lost some battery when I turn on the screen.

For example: if I leave the phone with 95%, it pass the hole night "thinking" it has this value, but when I turn on the screen the battery instantly loses around 15%, this "fast drain" stabilizes when it reaches the "real percentage".

Could it be a hardware problem? The battery itself...

Has already someone noticed something similar?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
i m facing the exact same problem .... please anyone help us out... google play serivces is draining batttery like hell and also my battery is lossing its charge like say 5% instantly ..... i have also re-calibrated battery but no luck here is battery graph for google play services i have also freezed this app in titanium backup but still drain and wake locks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Thanks for share it here too.

Except for this problem, I really appreciate this phone.

I hope someone could help us.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
ok but i have to say something..... these are two different issues..... one is that google play services is causing battery drain and wake locks and the other issue is when i turn on screen to use my phone after say 1 or 2 hour the battery level instantly drops by 5 or 6 percent..... i donno whats happening i m on stock rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MetalDaRyl:
Got the same problem about 3 months ago..

I did a factory reset....back up all your apps and data,factory reset your phone if you can't find any other solutions...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
oh its a like a pain in @ ss to backup and restore all apps and games...:D actually i am considering to completely remove google play store and all google apps and google services to see what happens :D and to find the culprit..:silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MetalDaRyl:
had exactly the same problem

Google services was using too much battery during standby..

Google services doesn't even appear in battery usage now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
Yes, I have these TWO different problems too.

I did a factory reset, I flashed the old ICS rom and I tried to install CyanogenMod too.

None of these options have solved the problems :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
What about my suggestion to delete all google apps like play store and Google services Google contacts,backup,framwork etc everything??

Give it a try
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fmlogin:
n70shan, have you already tried to disable "access to my location" in "Location access" and rebooted the phone?

Using Cyanogenmod it helped me with the Google Services problem (but using stock rom I couldn't notice difference).

In respect of the instant drain I still have not a single clue.

---

Edit:

We posted almost together.

Did you delete the apps?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
i have already turned off location services and all google services but problem is still there..... anyway i cant use CM bcoz my bootloader is locked permanently :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] larditi:
Yes, Xperia V. Maybe I was a bit optimistic and it's more 10%. But not more. Notice I'm using the pseudo-stamina mode, so Wifi is off during the night.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Numicros:
1. Install System Tuner from Google Play. Root is necessary.

2. Open: Startups -> Google Services Network

3. Uncheck:

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$Receiver

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$TriggerReceiver

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$SecretCodeReceiver

Receivers -> checkin.EventLogService$Receiver

Services -> checkin.CheckinService

Services -> checkin.EventLogService

4. Reboot

This completely solves the problem with Google Services battery drain without any inconvenience.

On my device battery drain decreased from 14-17% to 3-4% and all apps still working properly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
i dont understand what r u saying?

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$Receiver

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$TriggerReceiver

Receivers -> checkin.CheckinService$SecretCodeReceiver

Receivers -> checkin.EventLogService$Receiver

Services -> checkin.CheckinService

Services -> checkin.EventLogService

Whats this?? how to do it and what will be the result?

ok if you are trying to say to disable google services or playstore at startup ok i will but as soon as i start up my phone and use google play store then after that it will be keep on running in background .....anyhow i have changed screen off behaviour and set my governer to power save while screen is off.... lets see what happens
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Numicros:
Install System Tuner app from Google Play.

In this app select menu: Startups and next tap on Google Services Framework

Uncheck (disable) checkboxes:

checkin.CheckinService$Receiver

checkin.CheckinService$TriggerReceiver

checkin.CheckinService$SecretCodeReceiver

checkin.EventLogService$Receiver

checkin.CheckinService

checkin.EventLogService

Restart device.

This solves problem with Google Services battery drain.

related thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25974243

P.S. It doesn't disable google services or playstore fully, a few components only. All functions still working. Battery consumption decreased by 10-15%.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
ok i have disabled google services framework but where to find these ?

Tap on "Google Services Framework" and then you'll see process details.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
ok fine i find that and disabled all that you said but one question.. should not we disable some services from google play services application as well??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
ok Fine man thanks now my google play services issue is completely solved...but i duuno why my standby time has decreased....battery is draining like 1% per hour which was previously 1% per 2hours :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Numicros:
I haven't similar problem. My standby time has definitly increased after this operation. But my device is Xperia V, no T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
ok what is your cpu governor and scheduler by default set?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Numicros:
Default. CPU Governor: interactive I/O Scheduler: deadline

Hi. I would like to know what are this things: trim area, gdfs, gdfs security area, erom, eeprom, nand mpu (when I was cracking bootloader I got a message like this - Removing NAND MPU restrictions via SEMC backdoor. Permanent. Require ROOT rights.) and semcboot (I saw it also when unlocking bootloder - Writing patched semcboot. Two step process. First, we need get access to semcboot area. Second, we need to write semcboot.) and what is in them (kernel, bootloader, simlock or something else)? Especially I would like to know something about semcboot and nand mpu, because I don't know really much about them. I'm not using Xperia Z, but I posted this question here, because Xperia Z has got really great devs (for example you can backup Trim Area). Thank you for answers and help (also with thanks button).
