Fix battery drain under 20% - Elephone P8000

More people happens that when the battery charge drops below 20% of capacity, there is an extremely rapid decline to 1%.
To correct the problem use application GServiceFix - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix
It is important to strictly observe the instructions. You not miss even one step, and each step may not be repeated. Instruction should be carried out only one time, always after installing a new ROM.
Follow the instructions:
- Charge your phone to 100%
- Connect phone to the charger
- Turn ON the GPS (not need to be fix)
- On your phone, you must have an Internet connection
- Follow the instructions on the screen (click and swipe...)
- Each step instructions to make only one times, do not miss a single step, not repeat steps!
- Finally, the phone restarts
- After starting the system, turn off the GPS and disconnect the charger -> Application does not require to have GPS turned OFF all the time. Installation instructions only remind you do not forget switch OFF GPS, if not used. Now switch OFF GPS, later can turn it ON.
- Done
It's unbelievable, but it really works, try it..

Hm.. Interesting. I will try it right away and confirm if it works.

@rbt07: How long did you test it? Why does this app need Internet and GPS? My gut feeling tells me to be cautious...

Application tested more people in our Czech discussion with the result that works.
I know it's unbelievable but it's true. I do not know why we should do all those steps.
But I know that it is important to strictly observe the instructions. You not miss even one step, and each step may not be repeated. Instruction should be carried out only one time, always after installing a new ROM.

sorry, but this application has not helped me at all.

I can't believe this. It absolutely works!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tnx @rbt07 u r a LIFESAVER!!!

I just followed every instruction. and thats it

In the last step I clicked on exit and did a reboot. Is this okay or should I have done this inside the app?

It is OK. Have to reboot manually.

OK, then I did everything in the right way. As soon as I'm at 15%, I'll report my results.

Sorry, doesn't work for me. Battery drop still exists on my P8000 with Stock Rom from November. Does it make sense to run the app again?

the same question and I did this and go 3 times. the truth keep wondering if there is any other solution.

I think, Stefan Gündhör is working hard on Guestekrnl to solve this issue. Let's wait for the upcoming updates.

Didn't work for me, on eragon 9.2. Might run it again but can't really see how this can work!

Worked for me, I let my phone battery lvl go down again and see if it works or not.

No clue if it happened only once, but after having used this app, the battery graph even looks much more weird on the upper level...

Tried it with my Vernee Thor, as i had the same battery-loss at around 20% charge.
Unfortunately it didnt help, the charge still drops at around 20% until the device switches off.

Save Battery Life registry into cab fix

In light of this post Battery drainage tips&tricks How to Increase Your Battery Life I have created a cab with the registry suggestions..it is the same cab that has been around at the Juno section of XDA and the same one that is on allshadow.com both phones share similar Smartphone registries and so the cab should work just fine on the Excalibur.
Here is the download SaveBatteryHTC_Juno.cab
Its a simple step... you install and that is it.. it will just work.. if for what ever reason you don't like it simply uninstall it and your registries should go back to what they where before you installed the cab.
Great post, I would recommend people try this because I tried this myself and noticed much improvement in battery. Also, its a .cab, therefore, you can always uninstall if your phone gets unstable for any reason. Hope this helps everyone and thanks again for this post.
I just installed it, i'll try it out. Thanks for the post.
im going to try dis out cuz i need it
I just installed in on my Excalibur, what exactly does the cab do, I'm just curious

Did you read the first post completely? there is a link to another post of the registry entries info..
Haha its so funny how people install things that they do not know what it does on their phone... Anyways it seems to work excellent. Thanks for this.
I know what this does
but can someone tell me if they actually saw the difference, and i know it basically disables Activesync from syncing automatically but what if Activesync does not sync automatically (atleast in my case, I don't see anything on the task manager)
can someone better explain how it does what it does and correct me if i'm wrong.
on the other hand, my battery sucks - it dies with 1/2 day of use i.e. all i do is make phone calls/maybe use palringo but checks email every 5 mins but now i changed that setting to 2 hours so it doesn't use data that often but so far, it dies pretty soon.
Would I see a difference using this .cab? (to the people that have used it and have seen a difference)

There has been many "tests" done on this by many ppl www.allshadow.com most agree that it "adds" 3 hours to your battery life..
You can try this yourself.. turn on your bluetooth and wifi and use your phone on a normal day... remember when you turned on the phone and remember the time you are done for the day and see how much battery life you have left...
then
next day install my cab and do the same.. turn on your bluetooth and wifi and use your phone on a normal day.. remember to start at same time of day you started to track the day before.. and end at the same time.. at the end of day at same time as day before.. look and see how much battery life you have left.. you should notice a difference...
although some say that this hasn't worked for them to where they see an improvement most have said that they have noticed an improvement as I have.

No problem I, as well as other im sure, look forward to entertain your results.
Simply touching basis on the results of my simple test I have conducted..
I have uploaded to the post the screen pics of the power consumption the battery underwent while it had the cab installed..
Please keep in mind that this test went for two days.. one day(thumnails) with the cab installed and the next day (look at the links) with the cab removed..
On both days I did the usual.. made calls and texts till my fingers got numb..
On both days I started at 0320 and on both days ended at or about 2123 (923pm) on the same day respectfully.
You will notice that the screen caps done withing the phone which had the cab installed that day shows I had a reasonable amount of battery life left at the end of the day..
On the second day which I didn't have the cab installed you will see on the pictures of the phone I took with my camera (windows crashed and it messed up my linux partition.. just fixed it ) it will show you that there is an exclamation mark where the battery meeter is and you will see the battery consumption lower..

When I had the Dash I used Ricky's Kavana version ROM i believe it was V24, it didn't have any problems installing cabs.. and yes it seems like your ROM is still somehow locked..
do a search on the forum for networkunlock cab
here is the cab i was talking about.. it also helps to unlock your phone..
I am using the version 24 and it seems to work just fine even with out the application unlock program...
Here's my dumb question for the week... would this work on my moto Q9h??

Potential Xperia Z1 touch screen fix (please test)

PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS FIX! If you are experiencing any touch screen irregularities, then it IS HARDWARE related. Use the warranty of the phone and either request a new device, or get a different device. Ignore the remainder of this post and the thread.
Sorry if this is very long and boring, but saying it all now saves everyone from saying it later
There is a massive problem that the Z1 suffers from, an erratic touch screen.
Some people have the problem, whilst others don't. I am one of the unlucky owners of a Z1 which has this problem :crying:
People report that the screen registers an input, then shortly losses the input and then regains it, making web browsing difficult as anything you scroll by could be clicked by accident.
I suffer from that and then some. If I use the phone for a prolonged period of time (usually 20 minutes), the screen will register my input at completely different places to where my finger actually is!
This makes normal use almost impossible since you have no control as to where it will register your input.
Oddly enough, locking the phone for a few seconds (just long enough so that the phone falls into deep sleep) then waking it again makes the problem disappear temporarily. It does start doing it again eventually. This happens regardless of phone temperature. This also proves that the issue isn't hardware related, as if it was then it should be doing this all the time, regardless of anything.
Trying to do a clean install fails to fix the issue (at least for me), and even the highly anticipated KitKat update failed to address the issue, despite them claiming that KitKat will fix it (it didn't work for me).
NOW comes the possible solution. Since I know that this could not be a hardware issue, there must be a way to fix it via the software.
I researched a lot and found something that could fix the issue.
I'm saying this now. I don't guarantee that this will fix the problem, but trying won't hurt anyone
I didn't do a nandroid backup (I'm on 4.4.2 = no system mount in recovery), but if you feel uncomfortable with this, then by all means make one
You will need the following:
Root
Terminal Emulator
Any file explorer with root access
External microSD Card
Any stock/stock based Sony ROM (try the fix on other custom ROMS if you want. No harm in trying, cough NANDROID IS YOUR FRIEND )
1: Open up the Terminal Emulator
2: Type in "su" with no inverted commas.
3: Type in the following command: touch /sdcard1/Calibration.ini
There must be a space between "touch" and "/".
If done right, you should get no response (no message at all, just back to "[email protected]:/ #"
4: Enter and after that, shutdown the phone. Whilst it is booting, do not touch the screen. You can safely touch the screen after it is done booting (when you can see the UI). You can also reboot it instead of shutting it down, but I found that a proper shutdown works better (your mileage may very).
5: Goto a file explorer and delete the "Calibration.ini" file. This will prevent the phone from calibrating the screen after every reboot (not needed since it has just been calibrated).
6: All done :highfive:
Now, test the phone properly and see if the problem is gone.
If you have the time and patience, I recommend setting the screen timeout to 30 minutes and using the phone without letting the screen turn off. If it doesn't do anything strange in that time, then you can safely assume that the problem is gone for good :highfive:
Ever since I did this, the problem has ceased to be. It has gone and met its maker
Hopefully you will have the same results
Even if it didn't work, there was no harm in trying
Good luck! :good:
Note: For the app that does the same thing as this method, see post #2
Please link sources where you found all this info? I found threads about three years old using this method on G-Tablet and stuff from back in the day but wonder if it's still actually working.
There's also an APP that calibrates the screen without reboot with reference to above manual fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500
Beware, no idea what it does. If it works or if it ****s your phone up:

Those which you posted are not exactly the ones I discovered.
That would be this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960416
I knew about that app also, but I don't want to risk using it. I think that the manual method is better since it can work on any phone (or at least I think every phone)
That app may only be developed for a specific device and using it on other devices sounds like trouble to me.
Either way, the manual method worked for me. I severely doubted it would work but it did. I tested the phone for at least 1 hour straight without letting the display turn off. Game after game I ran, battery drained by at least 18% and there was not a sign that the screen was going to bugger out again
I even set the screen timeout to 30 minutes just to make sure it won't sleep.
Still no sign of the problem, 5 hours later
I haven't rebooted it yet. I don't know if it will come back once a reboot has happened...
Seems to be working
I did your method and also changed the touch filter level from 2 to 5 as mentioned in another thread. I havent had the issue since, not sure if it was your method or his or a combination of the 2, but really glad its gone. Thanks a million.

I'm very glad to see that people are having positive results with the terminal method and even the application that was linked earlier
Doubted that the application world work
I have to add this though. After testing a bit more, the problem hasn't come back. However, I did discover that wiping cache and delvik will make the problem come back again with a vengeance. So, I did the fix again and what do you know? Problem is gone again
One last thing. Every time the phone boots up with the Calibration.ini file, you might get different results with regards to calibration. I recommend that once you are contempt with the outcome of the calibration, DELETE THE FILE ASAP!
Also, shutdown the phone instead of rebooting it
Have fun

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Sleep of Death

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
 The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
 The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
 I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
 Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
 Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.
Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL
I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.
NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?
isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !
(I wanted to try http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/ as well, but apparently, /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal does not exist on my phone…)

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I've been lurking around XDA for a while looking for a good build about the new CM12 for my i317m and Ive decided to get yours.
You seem to give a good feedback concerning bugs and etc..
I am currently running the latest snapshot of CM11 while writing these lines and I have been pretty satisfied with this ROM so far.
Im an heavy user of my phone since i use it to almost everything concerning my job (highway trucker) so, i believe ill be able to give you the best feedback for the developlement of this CM12!
Ill keep you updated!
Ive CLEAN flash cm12 in my note 2.
First thing first, it looks absolutely amazing!
But first bug that ive encountered, Netflix.
It just wont open.
For the rest, ill keep you updated!
Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.

Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.

There's an issue with CM12. Right now until a fix is done, you need to keep Wifi turned on.
Every one out right now is doing it.

Don't think there's a need for the info. It's a known issue. Fixes are in progress. That's pretty much the last major issue left. Camera, Data, GPS
all are working.
***** And it looks like he's posted an update with the fix .......
I was just wondering if y'all have tried the 12/20 build... It should help fix the wifi crash/reboot issues. (edit: Sorry disksteele... Didn't see your red text... I really should start paying attention before posting... lol)
When using the gps, the phone will run hot. It shouldn't get hot enough to do any damage in most conditions, but if you're using gps while charging with the phone in your pocket or on the dashboard during a sunny day with the heater on... Who knows... Good luck!
Have a good one!

Actually... It's a commit by Gianmarco Reverberi that's been merged into the cm-12.0 code that fixed the reboots. Change-Id: I6c46ed1eb45a45df2e89646f472a649dc4a99319

Awesome Thank you !
Hey guys,
Ive given a new chance to this ROM and ive gotta say that it runs pretty great!
However, despite a minor bug at the charging logo, ive hit 2 bugs that kinda annoy me.
-Netflix: stay on the opening page and calls a fault code after 5 mins.
-Music while plugged on headphone/car audio jack: songs just stops to play all of a sudden for no apparent reason.
Anyway, this build is pretty great while waiting for the official update.
Thanks for this beauty!

I think there's a drm issue with the lollipop builds for now preventing Netflix from working... But I could be mistaken.
The headphone issue is probably the same "OK Google" issue that popped up in the KitKat builds. Disable "OK Google" in Google Now/Google Search and see if that helps with media playback through headphones. Good luck!
Have a good one!

Thanks for the quick reply! Ill be trying this out tomorrow while Ill be on the road!
For the record, ill point out something real quick that did happen to me yesterday.
Ive been going kinda far away from civilisation to go at my Xmas party. Ive got to mention it because I wasnt able to get my data from time to time.
Got to mention that went i was stock on my phone, everything was normal. I wasnt getting a full signal but my data was on all the time.
It is possible that Ive got to a shorter signal range with this mod?

I have found that the lollipop builds are slow to switch from LTE to 3G or below, so there can be a fair bit of data interruption while LTE signal is low or drops out. In some areas around me, I have to manually change to 3G in order to have a stable connection, because the LTE signal isn't strong enough to remain stable, and the phone wouldn't switch automatically to the stronger 3G signal.
Have a good one!
Here's a little update concerning certains bugs that Ive mention above.
Music player:
Even with "Ok Google" turned off, there's still a noticeable glitch while a song is playing. After 2-3 minutes, the song would just pause itself. Ive even tried playing with the equalizer (Audio FX in this case), turned on or off, the result stays the same.
Data loss:
Changed manually to LTE to 3G that it worked. I had to wait 2-3 minutes before having it back tho.
Hope this helps!

I flashed CM12 quite a few times already. Here are the problems that I have been facing.
Email app takes a long time to sync. And I cannot use corporate account.
When I touch something, the running application would be interrupted quickly like flipping the lights on and off.
And most importantly, the audio on the phone is too low. I tried many ways and could not get it to go higher. I can't even carry a conversation on it.
So now I'm back to my old rom.
netflix not an issue
just follow this post replace exactly the lib files , rename the old one in the folder as *backup...and netflix will load

Gotta admit that Ive been facing the same issues right here and Ive got some more to add on, unfortunely..
Navigation with Maps/Waze.
I better use it the old way which means, directions by directions. As a trucker myself, this is really annoying since my deliveries depends on it.
Incall volume.
It's low and to fix it, you have to go out of the phone app while calls is still on, get the volume up to keep going. Still dunno if my voice is okay on the other side.
Data/signal loss.
You don't have to go really far away from big cities to complety lose all lf your signal bars.
Plus, the fact of losing data pretty easily and having to switch from LTE to 3G make thing slightely better, doesn't really helps...
Unfortunately, i really loved this ROM on the first sight and wish hard as hell to give a second chance. But right now, i had to go back to my old one.
P.S.: I am posting these informations to help OP/developers where to look at. I dont want this to be seen as some negative feedback from my sorry ass...
Hope this helps once more!
Gotta say I'm loving this ROM. I'm on AT&T i317, coming from AICP Kitkat, and this thing is definitely a daily driver. Been on it for 3 days now. Good battery life, camera works, video playback is good (except embedded within browser or apps sometimes, but that has always made my phone crash while on Kitkat, on occasion.) In Chrome, I get some "distortion" or artifacts when scrolling up on down on pages where images or video are embedded. Have never seen this behavior before. Baseband is good and strong on LTE. I did notice one or two times where it lost signal for about 15 seconds then reacquired. Netflix is a no-go but I will try crislleen's suggestion and posted link above. GPS seems right on, but I haven't done a turn-by-turn trip yet. Everytime I open Google Maps, it snaps right to my location.
I only needed to clean flash the 12/23 ROM and then applied the sensor patch as mine were not working. But working great after that patch. Netflix patch is next.
Is support for this ROM going to continue? Or was it just an experiment?
Big thanks to all involved in development. Great work guys.

FP_wakelock, Google play services battery drain and fingerprint unlock missing

I'll start at the beginning.
Around 4 months ago, everything with the phone was perfect, but then, I think after an update I did, it all went to ****. The battery started draining really fast, the fingerprint unlock function stopped working.
Let me explain what the issue with the fingerprint sensor is. One day the fingerprint unlock function stopped working, I tried wiping the sensor, wiping my fingers, but nothing. I thought that removing the fingerprint data and re-adding it might help, so I removed the old data, but when I tried to set it up again, the fingerprint scanner was not registering anything. After that I thought rebooting the phone might fix it, so I rebooted it, and boom , the fingerprint unlock option in the settings was not even there! I did a little research on the internet , and it turned out , that a lot of people have the problem of fingerprint unlock option missing from there settings, and there were all kinds of methods of fixing the issue, I tried some of them, and I managed to make it work again, but only for a short while, and then it stopped working again! After that I couldn't get it to work no matter what I did.
After that I said, **** it, I don't have the time to deal with this , I'll just not use the fingerprint unlock.
But then the ****ing battery drain started happening, I installed , Better battery stats , and it was showing that Google play services is the culprit, I tried everything there is on the net, from removing Google accounts and uninstalling Google play services updates, to doing a clean reinstall of the ROM. Nothing worked!
Finally I decided to move to another ROM, I installed Pixel-experience a few days back, and the fingerprint unlock option is still missing, but now I have another battery drain, in better battery stats it says fp_wakelock. Which If I'm not wrong is something connected to the fingerprint service?
So does anyone have an idea on how to end my misery or should I downgrade to Oreo?

Bro, I don't know if you can read, but my phone is not bricked!
Jeez, I remember when xda was a place where you can actually get some kind of help, now you either wait two weeks for a single reply, or you get useless stuff posted on your thread. Good job everyone!

Hello,
Calm down. He can read but the best way and the easiest one is to make a factory reset or use a tool for bricked phones. There are so many reasons which can cause your problems. Try this tool and let us know if everything is ok now.
Backing to issues with the fingerprint scanner, maybe it is a problem with hardware... I had a problem with wi-fi and bluetooth on my OP3T and it looked like a software problem but it wasn't. Maybe you get wet the scanner... Maybe phone dropped....
Regarding battery drain, try a CPU spy app and let us know what deep sleep do you have on your phone. Also try to turn off the wi-fi and bluetooth scanning in localisation section. And try once again the CPU spy app.
Before you do anything make a backup of your data.
Cheers.

How am I being disrespectful exactly?
As far as I can see, the other guy just left a vague reply which has no real meaning, when writing what he thinks I should do will take him 1 minute at most, and then you are asking me if I've tried a clean reinstall , when I've clearly mentioned it! Did you even read my post?

Woops, i've seen the reinstall thing, but i didn't see that you clean reinstalled it
something that bothers me is that even if you installed PE or clean installed OOS, the fingerprint thingy was still missing, so it could maybe be an hardware issue
as for the play store, it should be ok when you install another ROM, or clean install OOS
maybe try to downgrade to oreo, as you stated in your post (backup your apps with titanium backup so it won't be too much of a hassle)
Any updates op?
