I've been getting over 40, sometimes over 60% android system use, which I find kind of crazy, considering I have downgraded my PRI from 1.90 to the 1.77, I've updated profile. I've ran 2 different sense roms based on the latest OTA, as well as Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1 final.....I'm running out of clues as to what would be causing this.
I doubt it's an app, as I tried flashing a sense rom and installed a very minimal amount of apps and I am still experiencing this issue.
I'm not quite sure what to try next here, is anyone suffering from a similar issue or have any other suggestions??
Thanks!
Do you leave bluetooth, gps, anything on? Trip turning your mobile days off añd let.the phone go through the däy then check your usage.

Nope, I turn off everything when I'm not using it, gps, bluetooth, even 3G are all turned off when not in use.
Not really I'm getting between 20-30% usually .

For the most part I only get really high android system usage if I'm on my phone a lot. For the most part its less than 20%. But it can approach 50 if I'm using my phone a ton.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think it may have to do with the newest OTA, or baseband update, I know that normally, most users can experience about 20% or so system usage with moderate use, but it seems I reach above 50% or so with moderate/a bit heavy use, it just seems like a bit much, and I don't remember having such an issue before.
I know some users mentioned the latest PRI messing with their phones, but I put the older one back on and it doesn't seem to have fixed it.
y
Edit: Like, for example, I just checked my android system after taking my phone off the charger, and it immediately shows as 70%, though this number will go down a bit, but even with light use, it seems to linger around 40-60% usage.
Get the Spare Parts app (it comes in CyanogenMod) and check the Partial Wake usage in Battery History. If it's showing Android System as using a lot of the partial wake, then continue on:
This was a known bug that was found and solved in CyanogenMod. What's solved it for people still having it is to use a FORMAT_ALL.zip in recovery, which formats and completely wipes the system, data, cache, and kernel (boot) partitions. I used it, and it got rid of my wake-lock.
So to review:
1) Backup via Titanium Backup or something similar.
2) Nandroid backup.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash ROM (and gapps, if applicable)
5) Boot up, check partial wake usage after a while.
6) If all good, add your accounts, but do not add any apps. Check partial wake after an hour or two.
7) Restore apps in groups (5-10 apps), rebooting then waiting 30 minutes or so between each group, checking on partial-wake usage each time.
EDIT: Here's the FORMAT_ALL.zip

Does this format the SD card as well? I thought i read it did, which would be a hassle. Also, you mentioned doing a nandroid back up, yet then flashing a rom, does this mean I would not want to simply restore my nandroid?

1) It will not format or wipe the SD card.
2) Nandroid backup is always done as a precautionary measure. You do not restore from it afterwards, in this case.
Yea i've been reading a lot of people with that ota has been having that problem

I just got my EVO last week so I have 3.70 and have not rooted yet. My phone has been off the charger for 7 hours and Android System is currently at 94% with Cell Standby, WiFi and Phone idle all at 2%. I had a Hero before the EVO and the Screen was what always seemed to use the most battery and its not even on the list for my EVO which I thought was very strange. I guess I need to look into the manual Root method since the others are not HBoot 2.10 and 3.7 compatible at this time.
I'm running stock 3.70 unrooted and right now Android System battery use is at 59%.
All of you with issues:
1) Download the FORMAT_ALL.zip from above.
2) Backup with Titanium Backup and Nandroid.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash your ROM
5) Via Titanium Backup, restore only user apps and their data, no system apps, system app data, or system settings! Do not restore from Nandroid.
I'm having the same issue. I'm stock UNROOTED 3.70. Is there a way to fix this for us non-rooted folks? I have been having significant battery drain and I did a factory reset and wiped everything except the SD card before the update. I do plan on roofing soon but I have the new 2.10 HBoot an hardware version 0003 and i want to make sure there is a well tested method and instructions before I attempt it. I'm no noob i've read this site daily since I got my Evo in June and I'm also an electrical engineering aka NERD but i just want to be certain before I root as this only phone I use and can't be longer than a day without it due to work. Any input here as well as on a fix for the high system use would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
This is a guide I’ve put together from my (in)experience with flashing ACS. It mainly comes from the replies of k0nane and theimpaler747 in the SyndicateROM thread. However, since there’s so many pages that can be tricky to search for idiots like me who just throw up random posts for others to solve their problems, I thought it would be good to summarize it along with anything I happened to notice from flashing a couple of Epics. Consider it the FIBI guide.
Step 1: Read all posts by k0nane on page 1 of the SyndicateROM thread before doing a damn thing! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
Instructions for CWM are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
Useful hotkeys:
Download mode - Hold down 1 on the keyboard when you power on the phone
Recovery mode - Hold Volume down+camera+power to power on the phone
Reset phone - Hold volume up+camera+power. This generally works when the phone is completely locked up.
Flashing:
When going between versions of ACS, check their notes to see if you need to do anything other than flash. You can go between some versions without wiping or losing anything. You can also flash between standard and fully loaded without wiping or losing anything.
Sdcard doesn’t mount in CWM, but shows up in Android - Format the sdcard in Android.
Boot hangs on the Samsung screen – Redownload, format your SD card and reflash
Boot screen flashed between different things – Wipe cache & data 3x and reflash
Journaling:
Enable journaling – In CWM, go to backup and restore. Backup, then restore using that backup. Journaling enabled!
Make it so you don’t need journaling – Keep a copy of the ROM on your phone at all times. Should you ever have data corruption, jump into CWM and flash the ROM again. It’s quick, no wipes needed.
If you restore a backup made in CWM and want to have non-journaled again – Flash the ROM after restoring.
Other issues:
FC in a specific app – Go into manage applications and clear data for that app
FC in several apps – In CWM > Advanced, try fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
If you have any major issues that seem unresolved, Odin everything back to stock with EB13, format your sdcard in android, re-download everything, re-install CWM, re-read all of k0nane’s posts on page 1 and try again.
If you want ads back – Install adfree from market and hit revert
If your phone is freezing often - Flash either the vision kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136 or the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12504067&postcount=5904. I haven't had the freezing issues, but I'd recommend trying the vision kernel first as it has some other potential benefits.
Recommended tweaks and add ons:
Fugutweaks – This will smooth out a few random things on the phone. I’ve noticed more responsiveness on the lock screen and icons on my homescreen. Small, but nice. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125
Impaled Keyboard – Makes the keyboard less likely to skip keys. Still have some, but they’ve gone down a lot. I use the Speed Demon Edition, still had a fair amount of dropped keys with standard one. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533&page=18
SetCPU – Handles scaling the CPU and overclocking. Use ondemand setting for smooth performance. If you have issues when the phone is idle or it doesn’t wake up properly, set minimum CPU to 200Mhz. Free for XDA members, APK can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Battery Calibration – If you want to calibrate your battery without going into CWM, grab the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867. It’s now available from the Android Market.
Vision Kernel – Pretty much Twilight + gives you 1.4Ghz and Voodoo colour which improves balance when brightness is at 100%. Flash in CWM, wipe dalvik. Kernel can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136
And a final note that I'm now about 10 hours into testing... if you are using fully loaded and want better battery life, really try standard. It very easy to switch, it flashes over fully loaded with no wipes or data loss, the only thing you lose is that it resets your homescreens. But really, this is day 1 of it for me and 10 hours in I'm at 62% battery remaining. Usually by this time I'd be around 20%.
Great info! I recently installed the newest SyndicateROM 1.1.0 on my Epic and the only trouble I had was with the included Twilight 1.1.0 kernel. My phone kept freezing and I would have to pull the battery to reboot.
This is an issue that has been documented with the ROM and is said to be caused by the kernel and its adjustments to voltage and overclocking, not all phones handle this well.
To fix the issue I flashed the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, as suggested by k0nane, and I am about a day into testing without any freezing issues. The only problem is that the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel has a known issue with video recording and it does not work.
Let me say that the performance increase from installing SyndicateROM and ext4 are well worth the trouble.
Have you tried the vision kernel? That might fix your freezing without breaking video recording.
is your brightness at 100%??? what was the difference between standard and fully loaded again??

What does the brightness have to do with anything? And for the differences, here's from the SyndicateROM thread:
k0nane said:
SyndicateROM Standard includes LauncherPro. All Samsung and Sprint bloatware are completely gone!
SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

The brightness for battery life.
No, brightness is not at 100%. I generally use 0-25%, though I'll kick it to 100% when viewing photos or when I'm outside. Even with the lower brightness setting, I'd always have to recharge in the afternoon. I'm still doing a lot of testing for ways of having the battery last longer, today is longest it's ever gone for. I'll be adding more information when I feel like I've got a solid way of having it all setup.
OP, could you add the freezes and "terrible battery life" solutions? Namely, flash the kernel in the second post or VisionKernel. It's the most annoying one to answer multiple times daily.
Thanks much for this! Hopefully people read it.
I want to get the battery situation on my phone sorted out before adding it to the list. I was having pretty bad battery life, but switching to standard and removing gallery has made my phone last all day for the first time ever. I want to do some experiments between setcpu options, juicedefender and the vision kernel to see what works best. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a more detailed idea as to how to get better battery life.
But for now, anyone having battery issues my current setup is using ACS standard and replacing gallery with quickpic. This has doubled my battery life.
Hey wassup everyone, first time writer long time viewer, and first let me say thanks to all the great people that have provided us with great roms for the epic and the syndicate team as well, Im currently using a Epic 4G with sindicate rom freeze 1.1.0 and i must say its awesome, aside from my battery dying really quickly when im runing it at 1.3ghz its actually great, usually i end up operatig it at 800mhz to actually save some battery life last me for 3 days at a time, and when i have it pluged in or show off my awesome epic i raise it back upto 1.3ghz, big difference cuz when i raise it up there my battery drains rather quickly like 3 percent a minute or so.....
well anyways now that, thats says, I have CWM 3..0.5 with syndicaterom twilight 1.1.0 and ive been sucessful at loading custom boot animation, but one thing is that im having trouble is loading the animation with sound? any idea onhow i can od that?, what are the steps, cuz so far ive been using root explorer to transfer and change bootanimation to load up on my screen, but i have no idea where to put the sound or how to even get it to load with the bootanimation any one have any ideas? please help, i do all his trought my phone, put the bootanimation on my sd and work from there and trasfer it to the system/media, most bootanimation that do have sound on them say to put it on the system/custimization/resources but i look every where and the syndicate rom doesnt have that archieve just the system/media, how can i load the sound into my boot? and how can i change the power off animation as wll?
Maybe someone should make a wiki "Trouble shooting guide" formatted like the ones found in the back pages of user manuals..

Just tested Vision kernel 1.1 and ran into countless issues. My phone would not open camera, gallery, or music apps. And after that debacle I didnt even bother to find out if any other apps were misbehaving.
The first sign of trouble came when I installed a fresh version of SyndicateROM 1.1.0 and then flashed Vision kernel 1.1. The phone booted-up fine but when I went to shut down it immediately froze and I had to pull the battery.
Im going to stay on Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for a while until I find something else.
I have tested Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for about a day or two and have not had any problems so far. I even overclocked with SetCPU to 1.2GHz without any issues.

Please elaborate on the steps that you took to install the ROM and CWM.
What version of CWM are you running?
What modem do you have installed (...DK28, EB13, EC05)?
Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.
Hey, great idea for the thread.
Something I learned:
I was having AWFUL freezing problems. Tried all the fixes (vision kernel, old twilight) to no avail. If these don't fix your problems, try Genocide Kernel (on these forums). Solved my problems.

I used the one step root process I found here to install CWM 2.5.1.0. I then downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SDcard, then used CWM to install the zip from my sdcard.
I don't know what modem I have, is there a way to check with my phone in it's current state?
I installed CWM previous to transferring the rom to my sd card
I did not the first time, but per instructions on the page where I downloaded the ROM, I reformatted my sd card, redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything 3x's and tried to reinstall. Same result. I keep getting the error on just about everything I do that states "E:Can't open /cash/recovery/log"
And thank you for your advise, any more would be greatly appriciated. I did search the forum, but there is so much information, hard to find what I really want, especially as a novice. I plan to not be a novice for long thanks to xda!

I could probably answer that question, im still a noob, but from what i know u need to install CWM version 3.0.5/6 in order for u to run does roms, thats why ure having trouble flashing it, since Syndicate roms are EXT4 Base Roms anything lower then CWM3 wont support since they are RFS files, go here and follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
download the CWM3 and root it again, u can run the CWM Root over the previous 1 so dont worry, i did it that way and i had no problems what so ever, as to check to see what modem u had, go to settings, about phone, under base band version check to see if the last 4 letters says EB13, or DK28, or if u have the ECO5 which is the newest stock base update that came out.
Also its best to know if ure phone is from stock, or if u updated from any of the first 2 version updates, EB or DK, if u where like me that waited for the update and stayed at Eclair then updated when the ECO5 OTA came out then u should be fine....
Just incase u are from a update of EB or DK here is the link for does 2 versions of CWM3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
if im wrong then someone please correct me im still a noob learning.
EDIT: just noticed that u said ure phone is messed at that point, umm u can try to do a factory reset then restart ure phone see if that fixes the problem, then try follow the steps above, if that doesnt work, u will have to download odin, which is also in that link and reflash back to stock, everything is there so if u follow does instrunctions u wont have a problem.....its actually pretty easy.....
Welp, the sleep of death. After not using the phone for bouts of 30ish minutes (possibly correlated to having an incoming SMS during that period), I will hit the power button only to find the phone does not respond. I will have to pull the battery, and when I reboot, ~80% of battery remains (it was fully charged before).
This happens on battery and on the charger alike.
Running CM7/MIUI (happens on both), and Chad's Latest.
Help!
Before you rule out hardware/software failure, you should try an alternate battery. Quick Q/A rundown:
*How long (in hours/days/weeks) has this issue been occurring?
*Have you removed any system apps?
*Install any partially incompatible mods?
It started recently, when I changed things up a little bit:
1) I got a new phone (replaced the HTC INC)
2) replaced the SD card to 16gb
It sounds more like a battery issue, have you tried switching batteries?

The times I've had that issue it was almost always kernel related. Some kernels attempt to do things that simply don't work too well on certain ROMs or hardware. I'd be suspect of whatever sleep settings the kernel has.
Wow, I would not have thought of that. I haven't been very experimental with kernels, I'm one of those "find one kernel that works and stick with it" type users.
Thanks, I tried an older version of chad's, but maybe his whole line doesn't work? On two phones, that seems unlikely, but I will give it a whirl. I will keep stock CM7 kernel and report back if it gives me problems.
I hope it isn't Chad's...I love those kernels....
Well, I changed kernels to default, and it's still happenning. I get random reboots, about 4x a day. I reformatted my SD card and it helped performance a lot, and I thought that was causing the reboots, but the problem persisted.
Any help? Please? This is strange and it drains my battery.
Seems to happen around getting a text message/notification.
My thoughts revolve around: 1) the 3g is f*cking up my phone, but that would be strange, or 2) the vibration associated with the notification is rebooting the phone? Thoughts?
The way I see it there are a couple remaining options to try:
1) Flash a different rom outside of MIUI & CM7; however I'm doubtful this would resolve it as you experience reboots on two different roms.
2) Revert to stock Froyo using RUU file and see if reboots continue. RUU can be found at: dougpiston.com and there are threads detailing this process in the Droid Inc Dev. Section
3) Are you able to try a new/different battery?
Couple additional questions:
When you wipe & flash roms, do you Format Boot and Format System in addition to Format Data/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache? If not, possibly try this.
You experience reboots while within a rom, does your phone reboot while you're in Recovery? To clarify, if you were to attempt to manually flash a new rom does it reboot prior to/while in the process of flashing a rom?
Hey,
i'm using the MildWild CM-Roms for quite a long time now. At the end of the first post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287) it says "wipe the battery stats".
I already heard about it, but everytime it sounds different. Is it just wiping battery stats in recovery and that's it? Or do I have to pay attention to something special, like having my battery fully charged when doing this, etc.?
Is it really important to do that? Somewhere I read that it's just important if you flashed a rom while the phone is charging - well, I flash roms via zip on sd and recovery, so the phone was never connected to the charger or to USB.

No. It is to be wiped only if you can't stand the sight of anything in your battery usage statistics. It gets wiped every time you charge it above 90% either way.
The wiping of it is the greatest android myth ever, even bigger than task killers. Furthermore it was disproved by Google's Dianne Hackborn.

hello.. i just flashed the pacman rom for my desire hd.. PACman-v19.3-BLINDNDUMB..
i go to about phone and there i see that Memory is only 594mb.. what does this mean.. the original ram is 768mb.. why has it reduced??
please help!!!!
nor do i have the paranoid settings option in my settings menu.. its getting really weired..
your phone never got to use all 700 whatever. With every phone, due to hardware/phone restrictions you'll never get all of it. E.G. the Note 2, packing 2 whopping gigabytes of ram only gets to use around 1.7 of that. HTC Is a little worse off, its DNA gets only 1.5 usable of the 2 gigabytes.
If you go back to stock, and install a separate task manager you'll see that you probably only get 610-620 (I think htc just shows how much is free, not how much is system accessible). 610-620 because it varies ROM by ROM, however the difference is very minimal, and it shouldn't make a difference. If you're really worried about speed, try out the Supercharger script (google for it). It might look a little intimidating, but youtube will help, the script itself asks you everything in a logical manner, and more importantly, you probably won't be able to screw up- the script just changes values around, at worst you just won't notice a terrible amount of improvements.
I forget where paranoid settings are located, but it's probably there.
Finally, RELAX. If worst comes to worst, and you really screw up, you can just flash the original rom .zip on top, without having to wipe anything (if it gets even worse, you'll just have to backup your apps, wipe everything, and then restore them). Flashing ROMs are extremely safe, so long as you do everything right. Seeing that you successfully a ROM, and you were able to notice how much free ram you had, I would say you're better off than a lot of people.
But just in case, giving a full break down of what you did will allow us to know if you did indeed mess up somewhere along the way.

your phone never got to use all 700 whatever. With every phone, due to hardware/phone restrictions you'll never get all of it. E.G. the Note 2, packing 2 whopping gigabytes of ram only gets to use around 1.7 of that. HTC Is a little worse off, its DNA gets only 1.5 usable of the 2 gigabytes.
If you go back to stock, and install a separate task manager you'll see that you probably only get 610-620 (I think htc just shows how much is free, not how much is system accessible). 610-620 because it varies ROM by ROM, however the difference is very minimal, and it shouldn't make a difference. If you're really worried about speed, try out the Supercharger script (google for it). It might look a little intimidating, but youtube will help, the script itself asks you everything in a logical manner, and more importantly, you probably won't be able to screw up- the script just changes values around, at worst you just won't notice a terrible amount of improvements.
I forget where paranoid settings are located, but it's probably there.
Finally, RELAX. If worst comes to worst, and you really screw up, you can just flash the original rom .zip on top, without having to wipe anything (if it gets even worse, you'll just have to backup your apps, wipe everything, and then restore them). Flashing ROMs are extremely safe, so long as you do everything right.

okay these are the steps i did to flash the rom..
1) boot the phone in recovery mode..
2) 4ext recovery.. so i do a 'wipe data+dalvik'
3)then i do a 'format all partitions(except sd card)..
4) then install zip from sd card..

You need to flash Gapps, it doesn't mention that it's included in the thread

Flash it normally, no need to wipe (although wiping cache+dalvik) should help.
for paranoid settings, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32720700&postcount=4
Your flashing process was correct, so I don't think anything was wrong there.
