I don't know if anyone has seen this or possibly knows what it may be, it shows up in spare parts, network usage. I cannot click on it to see what it could be, get the force stop msg. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my battery life is absolutely horrible. Running fresh rom, slayers cyan dragon theme, tried several different kernels and nothing seems to help, also tried downgrading pri.
Thank You

I recently saw a post asking about the "0" and the horrific battery life. While no one ever figured out what it was, the op solved the issue by backing up his apps & data with titanium, flashing Calkulin's format all zip, then reflashing his rom & kernel. I think he slowly restored apps so he could watch for the issue coming back.
Try a search & you might come up with the thread. I would definitely try the format all zip, though.

Thank you, i've used it but instead of restoring my apps one by one and cking for battery drain, i've just been restoring them all. I'm definitely going to give that a shot, again, thank you.

Try reading the logcat file. Get alogcat from market. You'll see either a block or multiple calls to some apk.
You call also get autostarts from market and disallow activation of intentions / events which cause "hangs" (spinning waiting) from the apk you found in logcat.

Thank you, I'll try that also.

Widgets, Live wallpaper Messaging clients Or any other client that receive notifications from the internet Will have your battery murdered like a runaway slave.
Typically a battery is only good for 200 to 250 charges. If it was charge properly every time. Let's face it nobody even knows how to charge the battery properly.
*edit please add around 900 more to the above figures for li-ion batts. Figures I quoted were for standard rechargeables.
Also check that you're not constantly running wifi and bluetooth. 4 g and 3g modes eat more battery than 2 g mode. Do what I do disable all wireless connections not in use.
If you ever noticed the display eats most of your battery power. turn down the brightness whenever you can see the screen clearly.
Applications that stream data over the internet will eat your battery quickly.
That's about all I can think of. Well 1 more thing. Buy a new battery and see if that doesn't help. (try èbáÿ)

Definitely thinking about buying a new battery, mine completely died about 3 weeks ago and I had a hell of a time to get it to pick up a charge again. That's probably my main problem I'm guessing. I just can't figure out the 0 in spare parts, network usage. I tried flashing a fresh version of fresh rom and individually reinstalling every app I had before, seemed to work for awhile, it didn't show back up. Waited awhile and reflashed Slayer's cyan theme and now it's back. Battery life was still **** before it showed up again though. Good advice and thank you, I believe I'll try a new battery.

You'll have to forgive me (i feel like an ass) I was in a hurry the other day. A UID under linux is a user I d. For general phone usage you should have 0 of these! Are you
using google admin?
If you have root try this in your terminal:
su
cat /etc/passwd
This file should not exist!

Please dowload aLogcat from market and either post result from app here or mailto me (topic originator only please. anyone else may request an analysis here. please wait for reply.) This can be a very large file and may contain sensitive information!!

I will post logcat, I'll have to nand back, i've been trying a different rom(Destroyer rom) out since last night to see if it still appeared. I'm at a loss as to what it may be, the 0 hasn't appeared yet on this rom, it's an asop rom, not sure if it has anything to do with sense or not. I'll nand back to my original setup and post logcat or pm it to you would probably be better. Thank you

[Tip] How to analyze you battery drain

Hello all,
Here is my 2 cents contribution to all the people that are wondering why their batteries are out in 10 hours!
I would like to share my tool, and maybe get help with my code if people are interested.
MARKET LINK: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The goal of my application is to show the battery drain in percent per hour.
This unit if for me the most important, I don't care about the charge level of my nexus.
So my analysis lead to:
5-10 % lost per hour when normal use.
more than 20% when on Youtube
about 1% (even less) during the night with wifi off.

Does it work on other devices running gingerbread??
Thanks for the app anyways!!

I just updated the app and removed thhe stupid graphs to have something more easy to read:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

Great idea! My suggestion would be to add an option to show how long it takes to lose 1% for each %battery.

Great app, but it doesn't seem to work with Force GPU Rendering On

Great idea, and here are my suggestions:
Feature to show summary
Something like this:
Start logging: [datetime]
Time now: [datetime]
Duration: [?d ?h ?m]
Average drain: 1% per X minutes.
Common phone settings:
* Brightness: ?%
* Airplane mode: ON
* WiFi: ON ?%
* 3G Data: ON ?%
* NFC: ON
* Sync: ON (5 accounts ... ) <--- if possible to check/stats
* etc.
----------------
When measuring WiFi/3G percentage, just check every 1% change whether it is OF or ON
The idea is to be able to make screenshot of this summary to compare with other user when discussing about battery drain.
You know, to make this tool as some kind of "standard" tool for battery drain measurement. That would be nice.

A lot of great suggestion, the main problem is to detect when wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, etc.. are ON during a lost of percent.. I will have to make a lot of approximations!
I will create a summary screen next week!

I'm using a GSM Galaxy Nexus that is running stock 4.0.2 thats unrooted and has a locked bootloader.
I downloaded the app from the market and initilly it didn't work with GPU Rendering. Since then, I believe you pushed an update? Now the UI is blue rather than white (a good choice) and now it does work with GPU Rendering on

Great start, love to see where this one goes.

DLed it. Will try it now..

As much as I hate to analyze my phone's behavior...
...I still understand that it is necessary to know what drains the battery.
So until we get better batteries in our phones, I applaud efforts like yours. TY.

Just to be clear, my app will never try to diagnose wich app is causing the drain, I don't want to make hasardous approximations...
My goal is to display the raw data in the most efficient way and to let the user make his own decisions and compare the drain with or without an app installed or some settings turned on off.
I will try to display only very accurate data only

Just a question...
Do you need a lot of explanation for the summary windows I just created?
I don't want to make a too complicated app and will now work on making the app nicer and more clear to understant, but I would like to know what id the most diffucult to understand from your side.
Thank a lot for your feedback.

I think those look good, just an easy way to see average drain. It would be quite cool if you could break it down with a couple of averages (kind of like you mentioned in your first post):
%drain during standby
%drain while in use
I like where your app is going so far. Keep up the good work!

+1 on this.

I will of course implement that feature.
But you have to remember that the standby/in use detection will be quite approximative.
I need two consecutive points with screen OFF to start counting standby.
As you may turn on your screen during the interval, I don't like that for my computations... I can add some trigger, but I want my app to be nearly invisible regarding battery...
By the way, please wait one week or 2 and you will have something!

I'm quite good with the standby/in use detection being approximated. I'm primarily interested in seeing a value indicating battery drain in standby for long periods of time (like overnight) versus during the day while I am frequently using the device.
Definitely looking forward to what you can cook up!

[APP] Standby Touch - simple app for a simple job

Warning! This has been developed and tested on Galaxy Nexus. It should work fine on One X, but have a backup, just in case something goes wrong (can't imagine what)
Today I got a little bit bored and decide to make this simple app. As the name says, it allows to put the phone in Standby (Lock) with the touch of app's icon. I know that there are many many apps that do this, but maybe in the future I could add other options to it. So far it seems to work fine, I tested it with Jellbro latest nightly and works like a charm. Maybe I am too lazy, but because my phone is on the desk most of the day, I find it not very convenient to press the Power button...

Changelog for version 1.4:
1.4
- added Tasks feature
- on some ROM versions the screen my try to turn itself on again after lock, the app will double check and try to lock it again. Please provide feedback if it still does not work.
- minor graphic tweaks
You can find it on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
Feel free to give me suggestions . Also a high rating on Google Play would help. Thanks.

Nice simple little app.
A suggestion-
Could you add per day schedule?
Ie. If I wanted to turn WiFi off when I know I'm at work but not on weekend.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Thank you for trying the app. The suggestion is great and I've noted it down. I will try to implement it in the next version.

I am using the app and haven't got any "wake screen" events. So hopefully works as expected.
I was thinking of a feature:
1. set an interval in seconds, let's say 60
2. set in the app, Enable touch screen to wake
3. in you press the screen on this interval, the phone awakes.
This of course with the cost of battery life....
What do you say, is is useful or not ?

I've just released a new version in the market. Unfortunatelly it does not have new features as I've been really busy in the last few months but includes two important things:
- there is no more white screen + app's icon when pressing the app's icon, just before the screen shuts down
- I added compatibility with JB 4.2

thank you! that is what iam searching for! :good:

Please just let me know if it works fine. I currently don't have a One X for testing.

I noticed 2 bugs on my htc x one. Later I will provide pictures in right thread
Sent from HOX with ARHD 14.2

Hi guys,
I have released a new version of the app. I have removed the Tasks feature as it wasn't too helpful and added Sleep Mode. So basically, the Sleep Mode shows for a brief moment (the time you set in Settings) 2 icons which allows you to switch off Sound/Wi-Fi/Data.
Here is how it works:
1. Go to Settings -> Zzzzzz Mode -> Set the interval in hours when you want the icons to be displayed. Set the milliseconds to be displayed and check the toggles you want to disable
2. Next time you press the StandBy icon you will see 2 icons on the screen. The moon icon puts the phone to standby and toggles off the checked things from settings. The sun icon, simply turns them on again and closes, without going into standby.
Any feedback is gladly received.

How to reach the lowest battery-drainage?

Hey folkes,
heres what I did to minimized battery drainage:
- clean install of ARHD 9.1
- Faux 6M
- Autobrightness
- Static backround in dark colours
Any other tips are highly appreciated

33 % in 22 h and 19 Minutes
---> Display: 37 % in 57 Minutes --> 13 % per hour.
---> W-Lan : 18 % in 17 hours and 9 Minutes --> 0,34 % per hour.
I spend most of the 57 Minutes surfing, must have been some 40 minutes, the rest on whatsapp, sms and doing random stuff.
I was thinking about doing an actual analysis of the energie consumption factors...maybe it can still be minimized.

Coming from CM10, i was absolutely blown away by how much better the battery life was on ARHD (just as good as my old iPhone 3GS).
BTW, using a dark background won't save power - the LCD backlight output is constant irregardless of what is on the screen.
PS. The 'Captcha' image verification for every post on this forum is ridiculous.

You have that captcha verification because at the time of the above posting you had only five posts. Once you reach a certain number (8/10 I don't remember) it will not be required.

Lower autobrightness values will definitely reduce battery consumption. Make sure your kernel is based off of the latest base (2.17), and then you can try undervolting and underclocking from there. Use BetterBatteryStats to try and diagnose any unnecessary battery drain. Avoid doing CPU/GPU intensive tasks to really stretch out the battery. Make sure you are using the latest radio firmware for your device. Disable vibration feedback if you can live without it. Disable screen lock sounds, touch sounds, and keyboard sounds.
Install Carat on your phone and use it to figure out if anything is using battery excessively. If anything has very high confidence percentage, either delete or change the settings in the application to try and get rid of the battery drain.
One thing I have noticed is that Google backup can take battery in the background. If you use Titanium backup and do not care about Google's phone backup, you can disable it.

It's just Placebo Effect. 1hr increase of screen on time may be a significantly big gain, but, there are way too many scenarios with which the Screen on time can be increased or decreased.
