[Q] MIUI-au expected battery life

After I installed MIUI-au 0.12.111 R2(first time installing it) I Got really bad Battery life. With the stock rom on my HTC Desire I would go 3 days before charging it(light use), now i can only get 1 day, I have looked around and did everything I could find, I reset the battery stats. made sure I let it die and charged it up fully a few times. I have tried the new version of the Radio and RIL. I have tried setcpu and I can only get 1 day with it. I love miui but I can not keep it with such bad battery life. am I expecting too much from it? or is there something i am missing/ can try?
Thanks

Anyone else have this problem? IT seems to be wasting. Battery while idle

Im currently running the same rom as you... i'll see what battery life is like with mine over time, but so far so good.

What version of the Radio and RIL are you using?

Not flashed RIL as the matching RIL for the recommended Radio (5.09.05.30) is already in the MIUI ROM, stock out of the box.So yes, I am currently using radio 5.09.05.30 (MIUI recommended) which has given me excellent battery life, even with FroYo roms. I have not experienced any Wi-Fi issues either.
EDIT: The information in this link may also interest you as it talks about different radio versions and associated RIL, and the effect they can have on battery life especially: http://www.miui-au.com/faq/radios-radios-radios/
Hope this helps you out.

Thanks I will try downgrading my radio and see what happens.

To further save battery life, i.e. when idle at night, you can also try enabling Airplane mode at night and disable in the morning. There are apps in the marketplace that can do this for you automatically between set periods so you don't have to bother doing it manually.

Thanks for the help, but it still had very poor life about 6% per hr idle so I went back to the stock rom. Is it possible to install app2sd+ on the stock Rom or can you recommend a close to stock Rom with that and maybe a few other small changes?

any notice 100% awake time with 3.70.651.1?

i flashed the stock rooted RUU and i get 100% awake time... anyone else? i haven't tried any other 3.70.651.1 roms..

I did. But I wiped and flashed again. No problems since.
Sent from my iPhone with the bigger Gee Bees.

hmm i wiped and reflashed about 5 times, still 100% awake.. weird

No problem here phone is sleeping like it should. Using SteelRom rev I at the moment.

Awake meaning the screen never turns off?
Spoken from my Evo using Ultra Keyboard and XDA App

Try downloading the ROM again. You may have a bad download. Also, did you use Titanium Backup to install everything?
Sent from my iPhone with the bigger Gee Bees.

try uninstalling apps that you recently downloaded. I had the same problem on a different rom, turns out it was something called sensorly map keeping my phone up.

its a fresh flash... no apps installed. i also tried steelrom, same behavior.... if i flash 3.30.x.x no,100% awake issues. any ideas?

MarkGBE, WHAT particular item is keeping your phone in awake mode. Use some tool, like spare parts, and see what exactly is keeping it awake.
Report this info back and folks will be able to help you more.

not sure. looking in spare parts... i dont see anything with a ton of usage,.,.,.

In spare parts, Battery History, Partial Wake usage, select Since Last unplugged.
If you're getting 100% wake time, whatever's holding it open will show there.
Leave it unplugged, turn the screen off and let it sit for awhile to gather up some statistics.

currently on the top of that list is 'Media' with 2m 47 sec. second is android system. 1min 56sec..

yeah this makes no sense... nothing appears to be keeping it awake...

Just wanted to confirm that I have this problem using both most recent SprintLovers and Fresh. Even restoring from nandroid backup seems to keep it open. Fresh install, no apps. Driving me nuts.
Attempting to flash burnt droid now. Will report results.
EDIT: nada.
Using latest radios, etc. from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Also using burnt droid's kernel with less aggressive undervolting.

ever since...
ever since I flashed the latest radios my phone has not went to sleep. software version 3.30 and it also seems like my battery life has taken a dive for the worst. Any ideas?

You're close. It's actually pri 1.90 that's keeping the phone awake. Just revert back to 1.77 and it should sleep again.
Edit: pri 1.90 was the cause of my 100% wake time. I reverted to 1.77 to fix it but now I am going to test the latest radios versus the radios we upgraded from and also a combination of flashing new and previous radios together.

I've also read that 1.90 PRI, coupled with 3.70 ROM causes no problems. It seems one must use 3.70-based ROM to run 1.90 PRI.
What ROM base are you using?
Edit: If you are in fact using 3.70, then I wonder if 3.70 and 1.90 need to come up at the same time? That is, if you flashed them out of sync, maybe you need to wipe and re-flash?

Well, most of the romdev's all say not to do the new radios and pri if you're not on the new 3.70.x rom and not to mix and match kernels with it either.

I personally built the rom I am using with the 3.70 base. I also updated all the radios. When I reverted the pri thats when my wake issue dropped. But its fine. I will still test and then just keep whatever works for my rom.

[Q] Android system running at 91% and killing battery! Myns RLS 5.

I was recently running MIUI 12/24 with the whole updated radio/prl combo pack and having absolutely no problems at all and battery life was great.
I then switched to Myns RLS 5 yesterday and my battery life has been terrible. I have tried both the stock kernel that was included in the kernel and the Netarchy 4.3 kernel and both are giving me about 90% android system usage for the battery even while the phone is sleeping. I have hardly any apps installed at all aside from the ones that were already on the Rom.
Why is my system usage so high and what can I do to fix it?
Thank you.

Hmm, this happens after a clean install before even adding ANY apps at all? Do you have facebook installed? Or are you signed in to facebook for HTC sense? I've read a couple posts showing that the fb for htc sense was holding a wake lock if it was set to sync live feed (change that from settings>accounts and sync>facebook for htc sense). If you use the actual facebook app, the chat feature will keep the phone awake unless you are in the chat part, and hit menu>go offline. It;s a place to start, if you do indeed have facebook. If you don't use facebook at all, can you use system panel to kill all tasks and see if you still have a wake lock after that? If I remember right from Myn's thread, did you say that you already tried changing your PRI back to 1.77? the 1.90 was giving me a wake lock for some reason, it was strange. If you didn't try that, even though the 1.90 was working fine for you on MIUI, I would still try rolling it back to 1.77 just to see if it makes a difference. What other apps do you have installed other than what the ROM came with? Any at all??

I haven't tried reverting back to 1.77 because I was running 1.90 fine with no problems at all on Calkulins EVIO 2 Rom. This all happened when I flashed RLS 5. I do have facebook for android installed along with facebook for htc sense. I also have chomp, system panel, weatherbug elite, and watchdog lite. I have no new apps installed that are different from anything else that I have ever had installed so I don't think that it is an app that is causing the problem for me.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. I would still try downloading system panel, and killing all of your running apps. (the ones that need to restart will). After that, see if you are still getting your wakelock. Then restart the apps one at a time, and see if any of them are causing it. (apps can go rogue, I've had it happen. Deleted the app, reinstalled, and it was behaiving normally) So just to rule some more stuff out (process of troubleshooting), I would try that. At least you'll have a little better idea of which direction to go in. You can rule out a rogue app, or determine if that is indeed the issue. Things happen sometimes man.
EDIT: I've heard of many times of weatherbug causing a wakelock. People had to delete it and reinstall, and it was fine ( i dont get it, but it worked). So maybe try freezing it with titanium backup or os monitor, just for some testing. See if it changes anything. You'll figure it out.

I dont think the PRI is the cause, I am now running 1.90 and havent noticed a difference in battery life. As for your awake time, flash Calk combo radio zip. youre probably not running the latest RAD.11.19. HTC 15 kernel wont work properly without it.

Android system sensor usage

It is using sensor the same amount of time as the phone has been on

Hit thanks on accident. Have a freebie.
It has been reported that our Gallery app is buggy with the sensor usage. My suggestion to see if this is the root of the problem is to uninstall/freeze the Gallery app and try a different one. Some people have mentioned that just installing the 3D Gallery from the market doesn't have the issue like the stock one. Either way let us know if that helps.

I have the same problem, even after uninstalling the 3d gallery it still occurs. It usally keeps my phone awake 50% of the time. I have tried so many things to fix it, nothing helps.

Format your SD card, Odin, redownload the ROM and modem, install CWM3, reflash modem, reflash ROM.

Gallery sensor usage and System sensor usage are two different issues. I have noticed that "System" sensor usage is always around 50%, but it does not effect partial wake usage and does not cause excessive battery drain (at least on my Epic it doesn't).

I tried wiping and using odin to go back to stock but I will try again. This time im going to keep from putting anything back on my sd card. What I noticed was even when I did this the problem occurred on 2.1 stock as well.
While my sensor usage is up. My partial wake lock is usually 50% as well.

These are most likely useless metrics.

It is affecting battery though. I usally last 8 or 9 hours which is far less than I used to. My phone also will get very warm even if I'm not using it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

google is of no help in locating the app or service

Well I went back to stock then flashed back up ACS 1.1.0. I flashed genocide kernel as well. the battery isn't as bad and i resorted to using autokiller set to aggressive. Most of the time its fine but it still will go back to a 50% wakelock. when this happens usually under sensor usage android system is 50% or 100%. when its 100% my phone will get warm. The only time i noticed this really happening was sometime after i got a replacement phone. Do you think its hardware related. It doesn't make sense to me. This morning my first 10% of battery lasted about 3 hours then the wake lock kicked in and it started to drop very fast. I used to make 14 hours of heavy use with this phone.
Thank you for those that have been trying to help.

if i'm not mistaken, your battery isn't being detected by the ROM, if it was detected before you flashed a bunch of things, you should restore back to before you flashed all the upgrades and install one at a time, whichever things you flashed that cause the issue is your culprit
you could always try to go into your recovery and delete your battery stats and see if that helps it too

Framework tweaks are patches for:
- Battery mods
- Volume on wake
- Remove GPS icon
Any of these things. Pretty much anything you would use to change what the ROM looks like.
Or your battery isnt being detected...which unless you are using a non stock battery I dont see how that could be happening (defective battery?)
Nandroid and do a fresh install of RMK (factory wipe, data and dalvik - also format system/) and let us know how that goes.

Pull battery out make sure its not corroding or has a poor connection. Then I'd reflash newest stock gingersense.

I had this happen a couple times, battery pull fixed it haven't happened since.

Hey guys, so i totally wiped everything and started new with a whole new rom. i'm now using tsm gingerbangevolved.
The battery bar still comes up. if i remove the battery it goes away for a little bit and also when i charge my battery it stops. but it still randomly keeps popping up.
i haven't downloaded any other tweaks or patches other than the rom. i'm not too tech savvy thats about as much as i can do. the only other battery app i have is batt stat but all that does is tell me the % of battery i have left as a widget.
i checked the battery it seems fine to me although i could be wrong. there's just a little dust and waht not in there but everything else seems pretty good and the connection *spring like* part is fine as well.

If pulling the battery doesn't work (make sure the connectors are clean), the battery may be shot, or you may need a replacement.
