About a week ago, I noticed my EVO was rapidly discharging its battey. In an attempt to find the culprit, I bought the SystemPanel App from the market and enabled CPU usage tracking. My phone returned to normal after a restart, so i just let the tracking keep running. Today, I again noticed my battery draining extremely fast when I got into work. I went into SystemPanel, and looked at the usage...
At whopping 42% of my CPU usage was allocated to the android "suspend" system app. It's global average for the past week was only 1.2% before this morning. Obviously, this app is doing something in the background and killing my battery. Does anyone here have any idea what may be going on?

You Could have said it a little nicer.. but you came off as a **** in all BOLD text..
Do not flame me.. I will ignore you. As this is a response to your ****'ness.. you asked for it..
I know he posted this in the wrong section, We get it. Get over it and to ALL those that keep making USELESS "WRONGE SECTION" posts, your no better then the OP..
WHoch Q&A section? Can a MOD move this there for me?
Yes.. Q&A would be Best.. and yes.. a mod will have to move it..
as you've noticed.. people are getting a little testy to Q posts being in the development forum..
What rom are you using? (assuming you are rooted) have you tried wiping and reflashing fresh?
from the information given i doubt there is a way to tell exactly why your system suspend is having this issue. If it happens after full/wipe/reflash, or if you are on a certain rom it may give us a little more to go by.
As for the guy flaming the person who posted that it was in the wrong section under your logic arent you just as bad as them for your post? and arent i just as bad for pointing out your post? The fact is if people ignore the fact that questions are posted int he wrong section then development will quickly be over run. Even as is with anyone who has been on the forum for a few days knowing that if you post a question in development you will likely be flamed and ridiculed there are still TONS of people that do it anyway. There is a big stickiy on top of the dev forum that says this isnt a questions and answer forum. so i dont feel bad if people are mean to them for not reading and ignoring forum rules. its how they learn for the future. Though i agree it does sometime get out of hand.
I'm using the official 2.2 rom from Sprint that I got OTA.
I'm sure all of you are getting sick of the flood of questions that come in and the single question and answer thread is just too long to go through to find questions let alone answer them. Hopefully we can get enough people on board to let the moderators know that this is a welcome addition. Seeing as how many phones have highest number of threads in the Q&A section, I think it is a worthy addition.
Problems:
1) Lack of moderation - the volume of posts, especially from new users is higher than the what can reasonably be moderated by the current number of moderators.
2) Relevant threads containing real information are buried by new threads (many which are off topic or not posted in the correct forum)
3) The forum is disorganized, which exacerbates the issue of new users asking duplicate, off topic, poor, misinformed questions.
4) There is an incredible lack of information for new users on usage, which creates a contentious atmosphere between new users and senior members who re-answer the same questions over and over, most of the time about HOW to use the forum and search features.
5) User modifiable resources like the wiki are unknown or obfuscated from new and long time members alike, thus rarely used. (On a side note....we should all be using the wiki to push pertinent information, valueable posts, references and guides up so that noobs (and experienced users also) can find them easier.)
Proposed Solutions:
1) Create additional subforums to help organize posts into relevant categories. (I vote for at least Q&A. MOST popular forums on XDA have this, so there is certainly precedent.)
2) Better sticky posts, with clearer titles. "Hello from your moderator." is not as clear to a new user as "[MANDATORY README]-[FORUM RULES][QUESTIONS][INSTRUCTIONS][If you don't read this you will be flamed, harrassed, possibly shanked in your sleep!]" You are reading this thread because of the title...that or you saw the DVDA postfix...you sick sick bastard...either way I win.
3) More moderators. It is far too hard for Whosdaman to constantly update sticky posts with relevant info. It is up to everyone here to get that info out so we aren't bombarded with questions that have been answered a hundred times. Wiki anyone?
4) We have a great resource in user editable wiki. There is a lot of stuff that can be done BETTER on a wiki than in a 1000 post thread, like reference material, guides, and instructions. We need to make it obvious to ALL users that the wiki exists and get people on board with updating it. Threads are a great way to hash out possible solutions and have a group discussion, but a lot of times what people need is a reference or guide and they shouldn't have to search a 1000 post thread to pull the relevant information.
5) Original posters need to update their OP when new information is revealed or when there is misinformation in a post. Having a post that's title says your flash cell is about to explode only to have to read 600 posts to find out that this information is untrue helps no one. Discussion is GREAT. Misinformation is NOT, and only fuels the confusion and duplicate thread issues.
From The Front Line:
Thanks for the outpouring of support and ideas to help get the ball rolling. Several of our ideas have been recently implemented so I am really hoping for some good news next war update.
20110109: Woot! We now have Q&A. Thanks mods and supporters!
20110109: My social experiment of double entendre "sticky posts" has 2000 views in only a couple of days. I'm not going to call this one confirmed, but if it stopped even 1 bad thread it was worth it.
20110109: We have sticky wiki in all the subforums. Now we need to add content to the wiki before people stop using it.
One Last Thing:
There are very few things we can change with regard to how many new users visit this forum, or the knowledge level of these users. The only thing we CAN do is make what they need to do as obvious as possible to these users, so that we can spend more time coding and writing relevant posts, instead of redirecting people to the search button, or frustration flaming newbies.
+1 agreed. This is ridiculous, it's a clusterf**k in these forums. Q & A is exactly what we need.

No, Q&A IS the general forum. What is needed is a sticky in the general forum with a CLEAR and concise description of how to:
root
use Odin
use clockwork
flash themes
flash roms
battery saving methods
airplane mode trick
DRM services and how to stop them
and ANYTHING else that gets asked multiple times a day. I dont know if some sort of limited moderator status can be granted, but if so it would be nice for noobnl, Daemon and a bunch of others to have said status and be able to update this sticky at any time. I am sure there are a ton of people who would be glad to do it.
Then, what is needed is a sticky called FROYO SPECULATION, where EVERY thread that deals with speculation of the coming Froyo release is moved, and all discussion of that topic is directed.

That is EXACTLY what the Wiki is for. But people either don't know about it, use it, or update it. Anyone can update the wiki. Leaving all of the cleanup to moderators isn't fair, or effective at getting stuff up quickly. There should be better indication to go to the wiki and more people need to start using it.

Thats fine, but where the eff is the wiki? A person who just bought their epic and signed up would NEVER find it. There needs to be like a flashing light and have the font in size 4.2 million saying "Epic 4g XDA User Manual" or something like that.

I agree. Or a sticky at the top of ALL of the subforums linking to the wiki. There used to be a STICKYWIKI post, but the title got changed.
I agree the wiki needs serious editing and updating, and we should all be somewhat responsible. Maybe if you flame a newbie, you have to add a paragraph, like a swear jar smoothone, get typing hahaha.. sorry... had to... but I get the feeling you dont mind.
Honestly, I wish sprint would just say screw you, no froyo. This way, people would move on, keep developing, not thinking to wait on that elusive source code... and stop *****ing. The repeat questions, etc werent that bad until that stupid 26th thing brought a bunch of new people at once, so everyone here who was already waiting and annoyed, then get bombarded with new people who heard about XDA from engadget.
BTW... wheres those two who had those super secret sources?????? Kinda quiet....
Bloggers: do not cite an XDA member, or their word they have a good source unless they show you the goods! Somehow, everyone thinks XDA really knows more than the average joe... and dont trust Sprint sales info or personnel!!!!
Sure, let's create yet ANOTHER ignored forum that the mod(s) get to monitor and spend more time on while every single new user here ignores it and the search button just to post the question anyway.
Instead of making a new forum, we need another moderator added to help manage the forum.
And make a post count minimum to START a new thread!! Too many ppl coming over straight from google and, not knowing how to use xda (or their effen owners manual) to its fullest.

Dumping questions to a Q&A forum creates less clutter for the other forums, thus relevant threads will more likely be in the first two pages.

I love that idea, but there are occasionally relevant posts from new users. I would like to think that not EVERYONE that initially comes to XDA is a moron. But I guess I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
It looks like a lot of people are in favor of it.
The Q&A forum will just be full of people asking the SAME QUESTIONS over and over and over again. Why not just create a sticky that either links to an updated wiki or better yet that lays out nicely how to do basic things with the Epic4g?

That's ok, as long as the questions aren't in the other forums. But I agree, sticky to the wiki should be on all subforums.
Personally I don't care if the Q&A forum is filled with spam repost topics. All I, and others, want is for the it to be quarantined.

That will happen in any forum. We do need a sticky, but don't expect that to stop the noobs from asking before reading.
I see that some of the other Galaxy phones here on xda have a Q&A in addition to a general section. General is used for general discussion and Q&A is for all questions. It seems like it would be more obvious for noobs to wander into the Q&A section to ask questions and hopefully save the mods some effort while also cleaning up our little corner of this website.

Hi,
First of all...Don't kill me
Since a few weeks there is a upsurge of recurrent threads like "What is the best rom","What is the best kernel","What is the best rom for battery life",What is the best kernel for battery life" or "Help me to choose a (best) kernel/rom"...
There was this kind of topics 3/4 times a day in General and Q&A section...For me it gets boring every day the same threads.
There is not that the rom or the kernel that comes into account about battery life for example,but the settings,the usage,etc...But always (or almost) in these threads the reply is just "x kernel","xx kernel","x rom","xx rom",etc...without more detail...Makes no sense...
There are almost many answers as there are different kernel+all the different settings (CPU freq,GPU freq,undervolt,hotplug,etc...)+the rom used+your personnal settings (sync,brightness,widgets,wifi,etc...)+your use...,Etc...
Many of these threads have a dozen answers then they are forgotten and the OP never comes back and does not even give feedback...
What's the point?
With a little search in both General and Q&A section there are some recent threads,rather important (in term of number's reply) and detailed for it to be useful...
Why not post again in one of these threads to move up and continue the discussion into a central thread...
It's so complicated searched a bit,read existing threads,test by itself or form an opinion by reading other feedback?
There would be no threads regarding these question,ok no worries,but right now there are many,way too much this kind of topics...
These threads are very subjective as the answers and reflects nothing...Almost the time nothing is known of the usage/settings of the OP than the guy who answer,just a name of kernel or rom...
And nothing is says about "Best kernel/rom" or "Best battery life"...What does that mean exactly ...? Unspecified:nothing,therefore unnecessary threads...
Ok, we're here to help,advise and give notice but not 10 times a day the same thing especially that with a minimum of research and reading...there is a response...
Sorry for this topic,if it does not please->trash...
Just so everyone make an effort and you can not see all the time the same thing with the same answers when there is already threads...
And if you do not like... do not read ... This is what I do ,but when I naviguate in General or Q&A section...and when I see the titles of all these threads it bothers me to navigate through all these threads and to see new interesting topics between all of these topics to see 3/4 of interresting...
Thanks
PS:sorry for my English about some phrases.
Sticky please.
I 100% agree with you. Unfortunately it will never stop.
I made a rant similar to yours in January (see signature) and there are still 3-5 new "I bricked my phone plz help!!!!!!!!" threads a day.

Hi,
Thanks for your opinion.
@phatmanxxl,and...?I know there is already a sticky but I presented it differently,not just a rule.Like I said if it does not please->trash.
@killyouridols,yes you're right...
Each gives his opinion ...Perfect,maybe someone can convince me that I'm wrong and that this multitude of threads is not a "problem" or is not annoying
I have not asked for a sticky or anything else,I just gave my opinion on something annoying for me (and maybe for others).
Of course the mods can not do everything but a central thread would not hurt,like other threads (homescreens,pictures,benchs,etc...).
And:

Use the search button on the top bar between "New Posts" and "Quick Links"
If any mod, including myself, continue to find new threads about topics that have threads already existing.
The thread will be locked with no notice and/or up to a temp BAN!!.
Mods, including myself, are not here to keep the forum organized after the fact, we need your help to keep it organized, clean and grouped.

Actually it's not the case,recurrent threads are still there and they are mushrooming ("ils poussent comme des champignons" ).
Of course already seen with my thread but a little reminder...There is less about like mine as there are those that I describe.
In this section we also see topics that have nothing to do...
Feel free to the mods to delete or lock this thread for convenience.
The answer is to refer them to a link with the proper discussion then report the thread as redundant and one of us mods will come and lock it.
Thanks

i agree with above me
The fact is, everyone that posts these "which _______ is best for battery/performance/stability" are usually quite new to this world. And they do not realize even a little bit that there is NO SINGLE answer to that question. Hell, there isn't even a round about general few answers to those questions. It is ALL COMPLETELY dependent on your use of device and the environment the device is in (i.e. Signal reception, apps on device, etc...) So much so that any other persons set up will usually NEVER give you the same results. People worry to much about finding "The best ______" and not enough about just enjoying the device AND enjoying the experience of the quest to find your OWN "perfect setup". And even when you DO find your own perfect set up, you are just going to keep wondering if there is something else that could make it better.
So what happens is they come here, and most likely they've SEEN these "which ______ is best", threads, BUT they see all the amounts of different responses and combinations without much details and decide "maybe if i ask I'll get a different answer catered to what I'm looking for" type of mind set. They are just confused as to the amount of different setups they saw in these other threads regarding a best set up since there isn't any details.
What they SHOULD come away from those threads thinking is something more along the lines of "Wow, there is so many different opinions on the best set up that i should just get to experimenting for myself" that is really all that they should do in the first place. It can be a bit intimidating to steyel into the development forum and see the multitude of roms, kernels, tweaks, that EACH have there own following of users that swear by them and it's easy to be lost on where to start. They don't realize that they can just choose a few things to flash and try them out, and then move along quite easily to another setup. They just don't realize how easy it is to just flash another ROM or kernel or whatever and just go at it. These users who post these types of threads are usually afraid of the prospect of bricking their brand new $500 device. Yes that risk is always present, but if it was something that happened very often due to a certain set up its something that you would have read about and info would be easily found on what NOT too use.
These types of threads will never go away unless as stated by the moderator above, REPORT(why is everyone SO AFRAID to press that report button??!!)and point the OP to a thread already established about the same thing. threads don't have to be vulgar/spam/etc... To warrant a report/deletion/maintenance....
So that's the Lesson of today. Be vigilant and report those threads if you want to see a cleaner forum. They will never NOT be posted, it's just the nature of people to want to be told what's best in a reply directed to them personally.
(BY THE WAY, can anyone tell me what's the best thread to read to find out what the best ROM/kernel setup is? Thankyou..../sarcasm )

Yes. <fist pumps> . Now instead of searching for recurring thread i can just make another "recurring thread" and all is normal on xda!
...
Under my normal usage, which is very light compared to most, i can easily get 24 hours out of my battery.
After having my phone about 2 weeks, on 5 or so occasions the battery has lost its charge after 2 hours with zero usage. When i see this happening i will restart my phone and it seems to fix the issue however upon rebooting i see a major drop in battery charge. Is this a normal calibration issue or a faulty battery? Do you think i should send it back for a replacement?
I've done some >> RESEARCH for you.

How does that answer the question?
The answer, IMO, is no, that is not normal but could be a rogue app, try removing some apps. Also, have you tried a factory reset?
What I try to make clear is that this is yet another battery thread started while so many threads exist.
The Op could use one of the existing threads don't you think?
It doesn't hurt if the Op does a little research first and the question is pretty obvious to my opinion.

I have looked through a couple hundred pages of battery threads. While i have seen a handfull of pictures of battery power cliffs like mine, none have seen responses that i could tell. I also posted in the "Battery Stats" thread to no avail. So after my do diligence, i started yet another battery thread.
I have not tried a factory reset. Maybe i'll give that a go.
Well, if you couldn't find it you are probably the only one and because of that
your conclusion could be that it isn't normal.
Your question is to obvious to my opinion, it doesn't make sense.

Well starting another thread... You could argue with the fact that he did his "due diligence".
Posting in an existing thread usually means 73,4% less views on a question asked. (Due to ppl know that thread and ignoring it, and means just ppl that are subscribed to it "might" reply) You could argue that he will get ppl that know more about the issue so the answers might be spot on. But as he stated he searched, so the "spot on" ppl might not be existing.
What he did "wrong" was post this in the general section even though this is a question.
However general section topics get 27,9% more views as Q&A and posting this in the General section and getting moved to Q&A after from a mod gives you 85,2% move views. So you have to admire his intelligence and cunning thinking.
So I don't get deleted as OT. @OP batteries do sometimes the craziest things . I wouldn't suspect a rogue app, rather then it didn't charge completely? Reported wrong. Try to use one charger for one week and another charging method for another week.
PS: the percentages are random numbers that popped into my head
It all depends how people respect the forum rules and other members I ques.
Of course the numbers are just random but imagine people should do a little digging/reading first,
and not open a thread for every small issue they are having?
Imagine how clean the board would be, don't you think people would look in that thread 'about the battery'?
Threads like this 80% (that's also just random but about correct I ques) end up in flaming and that's why I don't like them.
Maybe I look like a hard head to you but I'm a member for about 8 years and this trend started the last 2/3 years.
If people respect each other a little bit more, discussions like this wouldn't exist and the board contained a lot more relevant stuff making it easier for you and me to find what we are searching for.

I actually have done this already.
Week one was on my old HTC charger, and this same thing happened every couple days. For about the last week i have been using my new HTC charger as i sold the other phone and it's still happening.
I guess my extremely obvious question is still leaning to the completely obvious replacement of the device.
Thanks for the help.

Not sure what I am quoting now. But wanted to say about the trend. For what I see (and yeah you have 2 years on me ) .Is xda-developers becoming xda-bugranters xda-brandranters. Instead of bug reports and fixes. You get 90% of posts how bad we are treated from brand X how brand Y is better.
I don't need to even check the jellybean ota thread or 4.0.4 thread. As there is literally no relevant info.
Before I could check the forums and see: hey a new ota. Now I see : hey a new ota, oh wait old thread full with ranting.

I actually have done this already.
Week one was on my old HTC charger, and this same thing happened every couple days. For about the last week i have been using my new HTC charger as i sold the other phone and it's still happening.
I guess my extremely obvious question is still leaning to the completely obvious replacement of the device.
Thanks for the help.

Well you can try to use USB charging . Also do the factory reset as they might ask you about it in the service center.
Better to come and say you tried it, so they can rule it out and not just give it to you back with "new fw, factory reset"
I do not think they will use the phone and test how the usage is in time and if the battery isn't reporting anything abnormal.
Btw you did the *#*#4636#*#* and checked the Battery Info right?

I haven't done the battery test yet. I'll do it in the morning after i get a full charge on my phone tonight.
You guys know how's the dev section messed up. Well, those days are over.
Post all your (dev/non dev) questions here.

Okay let me try,
Recently the battery drops on my trusty defy have increased, two drops between 60 and 40 and 30 and 20. Will buying a new battery solve this? And also, maybe ot, but any reviews on the mugen 1700mh battery?
In the previous build, 18v1update and in this one, my battery when connected to the charger just heats up and doesn't charge more then a certain point. On the v1 i had to wait till a complete drain and then it charged, on this its at least at 50. Any one else facing those issues?
How is it that some people are getting mad battery life, like you ppero, and some aren't?

Before buying a new battery you might should try how the battery life is on roms like cm7, so that your not buying a new one due to some bugs in the rom
just to get this clear... you created a thread which has the exact same purpose as the q&a section?? how does that make sense? if i were a dev, id close the thread right now... wth happened to the defy forums?? up until august everything was working fine, and after that, spammers and [email protected] noobs took over...

This thread is a nice idea, but it essentially serves the same function as the Q&A section. For low-activity devices that don't have a Q&A section, this would be nice, but since the Defy does, it's more appropriate to have questions posted there. Thread closed.
