Hi all
I installed SPB Mobile Shell 3.01 and i'm very happy with it. Everything worked fine for 3 weeks or so, battery drain was normal but for 3 days my diamond is dead in the morning.
I started a log using Battery Log and every night at 00:00 (12:00 AM) battery consumption increase from 13ma to ~135ma in suspend mode.
I don't have task or alarm set for that hour. What should i do?
Thanks.
Try all battery tweak you can find

Did you place the phone in a different spot in your room overnight than usual? If carrier reception is bad or flaky, the phone might need more power to connect/reconnect/keep the connection alive. This can change greatly depending on where the phone is placed in a room.

yeah the diamond wakes up at midnight. check your power options if something is messed up (even if you didnt change anything). perhaps after the diamond wakes up, it wont turn off the screen or something...
Just as a test. Disable SPB mobile shell before you go to sleep tonight to see what happens.
Also, what apps have you installed since installing SPB mobile shell??
I'm having the same problem with my Fuze. Two out of the last three nights (the other night I left it on the charger), the battery was at 70% or more at 1:00am, but at about 8:00am it was down to 10%.
I'm also running SBP Mobile Shell 3.0.1, and it and WinTask are the only things that should be running, other than S2U2 (v2.04). I recently flashed Da_G's latest Clean Fuze ROM (WM6.5), and I always used SBP Mobile Shell on a stock ROM before that with nothing like this issue.
I've noticed that the phone turns on at midnight, but this drain (in my case, at least) seems to be occurring later, while I'm asleep. I have not changed where I set my phone, and I've never had trouble getting a good signal in my room.
I'll try disabling Mobile Shell at night and see what happens.
thank you all for your answers, i was away for a while
I disabled spb, touch flow, i used a simple htc home desktop and it was ok since last night i found it dried out in the morning
the only thing i did i played with the wireless a little, then suspended at 80% battery.. maybe that's the reason... who knows
Sorry, I forgot to follow up on this.
I tried what I said I would, closing Mobile Shell at night, and at first it seemed to work, but it was inconsistent, and on at least one occasion it didn't work at all.
Since then I have found a solution, at least for my problem: I run iLock2 at night (to disable S2U2), and then run it again (to re-enable S2U2) in the morning. This has worked every night without fail.
I'm no expert, and nothing even close to a developer, but it seems like Slide 2 Unlock is keeping the phone from sleeping. I'm never going to stop using it, of course, because it's probably the single most important program I've installed on my phone, but it appears to be the cause of my battery drain problem.
If you use S2U2, give that a try. If not, I have no idea.

You could try TouchLockPro, because that uses very very less resource and has a positive effect on battery life (if your phone awakes, it will be suspended after 30 seconds if still locked).
Ok, I renew this topic because i have the same problem. I didn't install any program like spb shell, i just saw that after 12:00 Am the battery will drain vrey vrey quick, almos 1% per minute. I disabled touchflo 3d, but with no effect at all. I'm using this rom... It's made for western europe, I'm from Romania(eastern europe), and sometimes i think that there is some problem with the connections, bands, i don't know, maybe it's set for western europe bands. Also, when i enter the task manager, nothing shows in the list ... so i can't see if any program is running.
I think the problem is myPhone Sync. Try to disable the planed sync and everything schuld be fine. Manual sync works also fine.
I have a HD, and my battery was also draining very fast. Even during the day when I was doing nothing.
After disabling the myPhone service, it's normal again. So, no idea why, but the myPhone service seem to be constantly active and doing something (not synching to the MS servers, just doing 'something').
Very weird.
Hello all.
I bought a Nexus One in at the beginning of the year. It's not rooted and I've had no problems from it till this month. I can not say the timing is exactly this, but it seems the battery issues started just after the FRG83D upgrade. I am accustomed to using my phone for most of the day before it needs to be charged. 12 hours or more with moderate use. Since around the FRG83D update my battery is about dead in around 4 or 5 hours. I haven't changed any settings or gotten any new apps or anything for quite some time.
For example, Friday night I charged my phone to 100% and then unplugged it (to plug in my girlfriends phone) and went to bed (about midnight). At 5:15am my alarm went off, i glanced at my phone and found the batter was at 10%!! the phone had been sitting there doing nothing all night with the screen off. I checked the battery use screen and it showed cell standby and AKMD taking up all the battery (55% and 35% respectively). I should mention that I have full signal where I am and have never had an issue. I cut off the screen rotate in the settings just in case that was part of it (AKMD being the gsensor i believe).
At next full charge that day i noticed the same problem, after being at 100% my battery was down to 10% after about 5 hours, almost the entire time I didn't use the phone. This time "display" was the largest percent by far (followed by cell standby), but clicking it showed only 15 minutes of use time for the display as I had purposefully not messed with the phone much.
Last night I had to be out and a bout so I decided to test things again. Charged full and cut airplane mode on. about 4 hours later my phone was down to 20ish percent, the only use of the phone being me looking at the charge level a couple times through the night.
I installed "spare parts" app and it shows my battery as being in good health and such but who knows how reliable that is.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggested remediation measures? I'm considering flashing the phone and reinstalling apps and such but would rather avoid that having never done that before and not having a desire to deal with setting everything back the way I have it.
Don't know if it matters but I run LauncherPRO and I do use the friends widget but it's never seemed to really cause battery issues before. I also run the news/weather widget, but again, no previous problems.
Any help would be great
Thanks!
In the spare parts app check partial wake usage. See if any apps are not letting your phone sleep.
nothing stands out other than UID 10073 which is handcent. currently my phone is charging but I'll pop it off the charger soon and watch the battery drop time again. I should note that inbetween all the tests so far i've rebooted the device so hanging apps of any kind should be killed off...
What ROM are you using?
Are you using Extended Controls? There is an issue with that and FRG83D. Uninstall it until the dev sorts it out.
yeah i am using extended controls. i'll take it off and see what happens.
Me too
I Have exactly the same issue, also have extended controls. Uninstalled and waiting to see if that works.
Cheers for the suggestion.
That did the trick! Loss like extended controls was the problem. A shame as i really like that app. Will hope they update and fix soon. Thanks!

Extended controls updated!
Yup, uninstalling fixed it for me too. Haven't seen the update though. I remember seeing an update yesterday, but I had this issue with that update so that did not fix it for me. Hope they update it again soon

I think it was updated again today. Now v5.03, and it seems to work properly.
So nobody saw Extended Controls showing up in Spare Parts, System Panel or other such programs?
repost kinda sure but in case you didnt see

i just tested and confirmed it works. now heres my question, WHY THE HELL AINT THIS BUILT INTO AND THEMED FOR OUR FRIGGIN ROMS"?
this is awesome, in case you didnt know the phone charges faster while OFF. this changes the OFF charging screen and also has a settings app with the options to:shut down charge to 100 and reboot, or charge to 15% and reboot
shut down and charge, reboot at a certain time or 5 minutes before the system alarm time~!
note yes the free version is ad supported (in settings not charging screen!) and yes adblocking DOES work.. so.. FREE.
or make our own "based on the idea" and custom theme it for each rom. the charging screen could use visual improvement for sure but the options are great.
I came across this a cpl a days ago but didn't knew if it would work on the cappy, so thx for confirming
I started using this and noticed that when I set a time for my phone to wake up, it would stop charging. I woke up to it at 70%. Just wondering if anyone had experienced something similar.
Used it last night and it woke up just before the alarm. Only thing is that is notifies me about the emails overnight just before the alarm. Which stands to reason...emails collect overnight, phone is off...phone turns on and goes nuts with the notifications. Phone was charged to 100%, but I was woken up just before the alarm with a blast of email notifications.
guys... can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture???
i've got an issue that has been niggling me for the past few weeks now but i couldn't find the time to look into it until last night.
i remember unplugging my note last night at about midnight and battery is at 100% and this morning when i woke up at 9am i saw that it is only at 73%.. what the???
what prevents the phone from going into deep sleep? i only started noticing this after i rooted the phone (am on stock GB) and installed TB.
prior to root i usually lose about 4-7% only overnight which i thought was quite great.. i can't remember if i changed any settings at all that maybe causing/preventing the phone to go into deep sleep...
can anyone tell me how to fix this??

Facebook.......Facebook app has been coded such a way that cpu is still awake so that it could communicate to the server all time and recieve notification.Had the same problem.Removing the app fixed it for me.
do i need to totally remove the app or just logging out would do??
i've had facebook eversince and prior to my root i only lose less than 10% overnight...
i'll try it out and let you know...

solved..
thanks guys... i tried uninstalling facebook and nothing changed... i was still losing about 25% in 6hrs and the note still doesnt go to deep sleep...
however i turned off the background data and walah!! the phone now goes to deep sleep.. even with facebook..
i looked at the note this morning and i lost 8% overnight (about 8hrs) and cpu spy now shows the beast has finally went to deep sleep...
i'm one happy camper!!!
hi, i have an s3 mini running cm11 right now. my alarm never goes off on a morning when i set it the night before. i use neon alarm clock to wake me up but i beleive it has something to do with my cpu going into deep sleep mode. theres also an issue where when i check the phones time on a morning it remains frozen. the only way i can get around it is when i leave the phone plugged in all night and sometimes thats not possible because i need to charge my tab.
is there a way i can get my cpu to remain alive all the time ....i dont mind taking a bit of battery drain once the alarm clock and time is functional on a morning. ...the help would be greatly appreciated...
