Sense Roms/battery drain phenomenon. please explain

I've been trying to sort through some threads but I am not seeing a real definitive answer to this.
I recently switched over to the series III rom to give it a go from CM7 and last night at full charge I unplugged it just to wake this morning at 14% batter left. This is the identical issue I had with Myn's Roms. Myns I had a wake issue, this one showed 8 hours unplugged 1 hour wake which I played some Rio before sleeping lol. Still both same end result.
My question isn't so much how to fix it or improve it because that question HAS been beaten to death. I am just curious as to what makes the Sense Roms do this specifically. CM7 I was getting really good battery life leaving everything on.
Also, is there an app that actually monitors usage? I don't feel Spare Parts or the stock system reading is telling me everything I want to know about what's using my battery.

My guess is that you have a wakelock issue and if you are using baseband 2.15.00.11.19 in conjunction with PRI 1.90_003 I'm willing to bet that is the culprit. Downgrading the PRI to 1.77_003 takes care of it, by the way.

I wish I had an answer for you as to why that is. I can only assume that synchronizing with email, weather, social networks, etcetera could be major factors.

SystemPanel Lite & aLogcat are very helpful. With aLogcat, there is realtime monitoring and you should pay attention to anything displayed in RED repeatedly.

hahaha thanks for the definitive break down.
I have downgraded to 1.77 and it's still pretty bad. Again, not really looking for solutions but more of a reason as to WHY the difference.
thanks for the app suggestions.

You're very welcome and I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Enjoy your weekend, my friend...

One more app suggestion for ya--
Watchdog
It monitors apps and processes and alerts you if one goes rogue on you eating up your battery. I have found that in conjunction with system panel to be a great monitoring system.

If you can do it, because I don't know how yo use your phone, turn all your data off unless you actually need it.
I do this now, since I found out I can go 2-3 days without a recharge, if I don't need one. I don't use data much, anyhow, except my weather widgets and the times I go on my browser

My usage consists of call text and facebook lol. The clock widget has weather so that too I suppose. Never use 4g. Maps on rare occurrence.
Is there a simple button for data? Without going to settings every time?

I like sense. If it was an issue with I NEED battery I would go back to cm7. I would rather go beyond adjust your pri, and disable half your phone and see if there is a specific reason sense roms go all Monica lowinski on your battery. Haha

You're on koni's elite III? Does that come with come with '4g' as one of the toggle widgets in the notification pulldown? If so, you can modify that so that 'mobile data' (3g) toggle will replace the 4g toggle. (if you don't want to do that, you can put a widget on your homescreen by going to add a widget, then scrolling down to 'settings'. Once you hit settings, you'll be presented with more options, 'mobile network' will toggle your 3g on and off at will)
If you do want to modify the pull down toggle, and you have Root Explorer, or another root level file explorer, it can easily be done. I don't think koni's III comes with a widget.txt file already, so you'll need to make one. I'll upload the one I use, which toggles GPS, Brightness, airplane mode, mobile data, flashlight, and sound, so you can use that as a reference, or modify it to you're liking. Once you have widget.txt made how you want it, you need to put it in /system/customize. You can do that using root explorer, or
adb remount
adb push widget.txt /system/customize
adb reboot
here's a list of what you can add to the notification pulldown toggles (6 at a time) And here's a link to the original thread, by JsChiSurf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836721&highlight=notification+toggles
(don't forget to pipe delimit them): Spelling must be exact, capitals matter. No spaces, and use | to separate them.
Code:
toggleAirplane
toggleAutoRotate
toggleBluetooth
toggleBrightness
toggleFlashlight
toggleGPS
toggleLockScreen
toggleMobileData
toggleScreenTimeout
toggleSleepMode
toggleSound
toggleSync
toggleWifi

Disabling "Always On Mobile Data" is helpful. When you're not actually surfing the net or using data, it'll sleep saving you battery usage.

THere is a widget for data on Koni's three. Long press your screen/widgets/settings/mobile network and you'll get the data widget.

@k2buckly that's some great info, I appreciate it. Will hit the thanks button when I get on my pc. Gives me a new tinker project lol.
As well as others.
So my question still stands but I think we have established the culprit. Mobile data. Now what makes the sense roms so prone to mobile data usage vs other roms causing accelerated drain?

Go search in the Mik rom thread about IQAgent and IQRD. Google them as well. IQAgent is a nasty app Sprint uses to log information about you that they shouldn't be doing.
People are deleting them wirh root explorer or freezing them with TB and having some luck. I deleted them and it really helped my battery life. At least check in to it.

This app makes it a pain but I will. Essentially I would like to get enough tweaks and info to make one thread possibly a sticky for this issue.
This seems like the similar issue of the vibrant. We had to freeze all the drm, functions because they were always talking to samsung for verification. Regardless of having licensed products or not.
I would like to get to a point where we can get these wonderful sense roms to be basically fully functional with respectable battery life. Maybe just my own opinion but I don't think its right we have to essentially disable our phones down to being no better than an old flip phone.
I don't mind doing the research and leg work either. Im a year late on the evo so I need something to do haha.

This is the holy grail of what i was looking for. I am sure it was in the 1000+ page thread somewhere but I never found anything that explained the CDMA radio usage. I always found "turn off data". No offense to those who posted, the help was appreciated but I was just looking further into it then most do. I am more of a "why" person then a "i don't care just fix it" person.
As I said I am about a year behind on having an Evo so some of this info is DEEP into some searches.
Excellent read, I am going to try these out and have watchdog and system panel going. Before this read I have my phone pretty close to the 1% idle, I doubt I'll maintain that but it's close to satisfactory.

The best advice I could give is this...If you want a "Sense" based rom, I would recommend MikFroyo. The community has gotten so big, that he now has his own site themikmik.com. The reason I feel this is the best rom, is because everything is repacked, cleaned, optimized, and tweaked to the max...which makes for basically, the fastest Sense rom experience you could possibly have. There are also plenty of theme's, if your not one for the stock look (I actually am).
If you don't already use a custom Kernel, I would recommend netarchy-toastmod. His Kernel's have always been great for me, and with SBC charging too. I just ignore the SBC scare tactics. I've been using SBC since it came out, and have not had one single issue.
But the best answer to the "Why?" I could give you, is...USAGE. Unless there is and actual software/hardware issue your having, then all that's left to blame is your usage. Radios that are on, the signal strengths of them, monitoring software in use, and just simply...how much you use it. Which brings me to another point...it's cool to use stuff like Watchdog, or System Panel to see if there are issues, but after that I would recommend getting rid of them, as they themselves eat battery. I'm not saying the destroy your battery...just that they use it. And the more you have running...the more it gets used. The only "active" monitoring software I use is Battery Monitor Widget. It is probably the best app to monitor your battery/usage that exists.
I have never "downgraded" anything on my phone, always update my PRL & Profile, and have not ever had a software/hardware related issue. Then again, I don't flash much...I just stick with the things that work great.

You better try Azrael X v.40 rom, it give you a long battery live and also after you unplug your phone it takes a long time to start seeing any change on you battery status icon. I tried different roms and this one has everything working,my make concern about roms is "battery life" and speed. Also with this rom I always have wifi on, use wireless network as location, Background data on, auto sync on,exchange push mail on, weather sync on, and live wallpaper on. so far that's my setting and I can go through the day with a single charge. (I'm not doing advertising on this rom, I just want to let other know about how good is in Battery life.

Misaligned/smaller icons on main screen of phone.

I have a weird problem with my phone after rebooting, all of my icons are smaller and misaligned, it seems like everything was pushed up and to the left, as it shows in the screenshot provided.
[I highlighted in red where there are noticeable gaps that were not previously there, notice the icons in the dock bar seem to go beyond the set border.]
edit: i noticed i can't post photos, so please forgive me for altering my link, as it is not malicious.

There is a gap of space down the right hand side of the screen and left to right on the bottom part of the screen right under the main button dock and the desktop.
Has anyone had this problem or know what could cause this? I have Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox, and a few other programs, I will list them if requested, but I list those two primarily because I figure they can help fix this maybe?

I had a similar issue on my Optimus S, all my home screens were slightly shifted left, so on one screen i could see part of both walls. It was trippy, and a pain in the butt. I fixed it on my phone by simply rebooting the phone. I am sure you have tried that already though. If you have everything backed up, maybe a reset would be the fastes solution, if you dont mind reinstalling everything.

I don't mind rebooting at all, I am just concerned about my unlock that I paid for and the root that I had done. Would doing a full restore reset either of those things? Sorry if it sounds like a silly question. I am still trying to learn all of this stuff.

Have you tried clearing the launcher's data? Or if it's a 3rd party launcher, uninstall and reinstall it? (but temporarily install a backup launcher if you do that, cuz you need at least 1 launcher for your phone to function properly)

A full flash with Flashtool will remove root, but your bootloader will keep open for good. You need a special package in order to relock the bootloader.

Thanks for answering that, is it fairly easy to reinstall root once I restore? Alejandrissimo rooted my phone for me. Also, what is clockworkmod?

Lcd density is pretty much the screen resolution. When I messed about with mine I got the same sort of problem that you describe. Can be adjusted using ROM Toolbox in buildprop tweaks. Just had a look at mine and its set to 240. Might be worth having a look

[Info] For everyone with multitasking complaints...

Go to Settings > Developer Options and scroll to "Don't keep activities" and make sure it isn't checked.
This will prevent most apps from refreshing when you return to them.

I enabled GPU mode to see and I couldn't recreate your problem so I'm assuming that isn't it.
There are three different versions, the one I used was made by "Android Apps", I have no clue if this is a clone or not.
If it is someone should let us know and anyone having success should buy the PRO version as it is only $1.74.

Download Spare Parts, not Spare Parts Plus.
Also, uninstalling Spare Parts will reset it back to aggressive. You need to keep the app to have proper multi-tasking for now. It works really well though. (GSM GNex AOKP 28 Franco M2)

I wonder why the memkiller is set at "Aggressive" though?

Hm, I guess I didn't really notice lots of app reloads, but it was most annoying in the browser. When i clicked on it the first time in Spare Parts, neither of them were selected... Changed it to "Normal" and we'll see how it goes.
Not really gonna be happy with this if Spare Parts sits in the background taking up resources.

It was actually the simplest solution that I overlooked.
Go to Settings > Developer Options and scroll to "Don't keep activities" and make sure it isn't checked. That's all the the spare parts Normal/Aggressive toggle does.

Another problem just appeared...or is it a problem?

Whenever I try to click a video on YouTube, a pop-up appears asking me to save the video, rather than viewing it on the phone... not sure why it's doing this.
Any ideas how to fix this?

First off. What ROM, Kernel, and recovery are you using?
How long has this been happening or when did it start happening?
I just checked my YouTube and it's not doing this. I'm on the latest AOKP and using Datkside Kernel and TWRP.

Youtube app or web?

Not n issue wit the phone it n application, had it a few times actually, my guess is youtube isn't installed, & ur either using a different browser, or what video application do u use? (Moboplayer can actually override browser settings & automaticly play youtube on low through it, another (can't remember name) does this exact thing,) reinstall youtube should fix

Using Darkside Evo 3 (no kernel flashed).
Both on YouTube app and web which I use Opera Mini Browser.
I wonder if it's something I froze on Titanium app, but looked through it today and can't see anything that would be affected by it.
I'll just re-flash the ROM, no big deal, see what happens from there.
Thought I'd toss the question here since everyone is pretty knowledgeable and helpful, maybe someone had the same problem at some point.
My bigger issue still is the battery life which blows.

Switch back to a 4.1.1 Rom

I have been saying this to each and everyone.
Don't revert to roms released before and in December.
The update in January contained a sds bug fix. It was a very critical bug.
Don't take for granted that Samsung will repair your phone in case of an sds bug issue. They may even say no and you'll be crying then. For God's sake don't downgrade.
Just imagine if you lose 5 months of messages, WhatsApp and what not.
All your pics. It's not worth not charging your phone everyday.
What's the problem. Just leave it charging overnight or when you aren't using it.

I'm still on 4.1.2 and unlikely to change back to 4.1.1. This is 99% due to the fact the browser in the older versions doesn't reflow text (like Nexus or HTC). Also, unfortunately due to the clowns at sky putting strict restrictions on their "Sky Go" app, it is not possible for me to use any of the custom roms as the app just does not work on them and there is no way around it.
I have to stick with stock and hope this drainage issue is sorted in the next update!

I normally don't use the stock browser. Somehow have always preferred Dolphin. And as for the Sky thingy, I am actually trying to make my sister in London kick Sky away cos they so blatantly support Apple products over Android devices. I am not sure if this is the case even now but some months ago their apps refused to run on Android tabs, and worked only on Phones.
Edit : I just thought of this, you can always flash 4.1.1 stock right? It isn't as if your phone status will change on just flashing a stock ROM on an unrooted device. And even if it does, you can change it back to normal using triangle away and all. That would allow you to use sky without any prob.

The reason I don't go back to 4.1.1 is because it doesn't support text reflow. Similarily, ive always been rooted and need to toggle it on and off because I use apps like directorybind given Samsung's idiotic decision to use the internal memory as "SDCard"

If you are rooted, and sky does not work on modified devices, how do you get it to work? I need to get some apps feom my office to work on my root+stock device, but they normally don't start, displaying a message that 'Your device is modified'.
I tried directory bind for sometime, but found it to be a bit of a headache. Instead I use a simple script with ROM manager lite to switch external/internal storages. Found it on an external site, works flawlessly. I don't even have to backup game and audio/video data and when I flash a new rom now.
