Have written a program for Kaiser battery and power state logging - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I'm having troubles with the Battery drain after a wakeup alarm (50% drain in 10 minutes!) and I wanted to investigate this a little. Then, I have written this morning this small utility that logs power changes in the Kaiser:
-Shows on screen and in \Temp\KaiserBattTest.log every porwer state change or every battery level change. For example:
04/03/08 12:54:27 BATT : 99% 176mA 33ºC Chg=1
04/03/08 13:06:36 POWER: Screen off state
04/03/08 13:06:43 POWER: Full On state
04/03/08 13:06:51 BATT : 99% 0mA 34ºC Chg=0
04/03/08 13:06:58 POWER: Screen off state
04/03/08 13:07:01 POWER: Suspended state
04/03/08 13:07:02 POWER: Suspended state
04/03/08 13:07:02 POWER: Screen off state
04/03/08 13:07:03 POWER: Full On state
04/03/08 13:07:09 BATT : 99% 0mA 33ºC Chg=1
04/03/08 13:07:11 POWER: Full On state
-Does not poll for the state: it uses power notifications only, then it doesn't affect to the battery consumption, neither the power state.
-No need to install, simply execute it.
-It can be minimized with the windows X. To exit press OK.
-Logs are appended: CAUTION, can grow very much.
Hope helps.
But anyone knows why a Kaiser can drain the battery while suspended 50% in 10 minutes only after a Windows Alarm have sound?
There are only two ways to stop the drain when it starts: put the device on charge or do a soft reset.
Download BattLogger from my site.

I'll give it a try. Looks like a useful app. Did you post it in the Stickie thread about battery drainage? You might want to.

Looks great. Essential thingie to resolve power problems. I hope it also finds a way to work in my TP .
I have battlog and power guard but this should be the main thing to use. The only valuable monitor!

Battery Leak - Help Appreciated

Hi all.
I'm experiencing some sort of battery leak, but nothing is jumping out at me. Went to bed ~ 95% and woke up to ~ 20%.
Battery Use Stats:
Cell Standby - 44% (TWS - 0%)
Phone Idle - 45%
Voice Calls - 6%
Display - 3%
Dialer - 2%
Here is the software info:
Firmware - 2.1 Fresh Toast
Baseband - 2.42.00.03.10
PRI - 1.70_003
PRL - 60664
Running OC Widget on detect settings & autokiller on aggressive.
Using SpareParts - Partial Wake Usage - Calendar has the largest bar above Android System (yet I really don't use the calendar for appointments).
Any thoughts/tips/tricks would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jerry
I'm assuming you have reboot the phone?
In addition, on your OC widget what your setting for screen on and screen off?
I'm still playing with setting that best for me and the phone. However, this is my current setting for OC widget: for screen on 729600 for min and Max and screen off 245760 for min and max. I saw if I did't select differ freq for screen off, the CPU was run at same speed at screen on. Compare the 2.1.1 I'm getting average 8-10 hr of battery. I'm guessing OC might drain battery faster. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yes, I have rebooted since loading. I used the auto-detect settings for the OC Widget, but I guess that could be an issue. 8-10 hours of battery seems low to me? I was getting near 24hrs average (some higher, some lower) on Fresh 2.0d.
Here are the settings:
OC Widget Settings:
Screen On - 245760,384000
Screen Off - 245760,384000
I guess that could be an issue.
What's your awake perentage at?

Strange I have mine set higher than your for screen on.
Still battery hr for me. I know 2.1.1 I was getting at least a day an half with moderate use.
Like abcdfv said what your awake and uptime?
Up time: 20:35
Awake time: 5:57
Awake time looks good.
Try this setting on your OC widget:
480000 min and 576000 max. It may or may not help.
Thanks for all of your help.
Would this be for both screen on & off?
Screen on.
For screen off I have mine set at 245760 for min and max. So far battery life is OK. Since unplug at 7:45 AM (100%) and now it at 66%. Few calls, web surfing and facebook. Roughly 1 hr 20 mins usage of phone and 4hr 30 mins standby. I know compare to 2.1.1 it not great battery life.
Thanks - I'll try that.
So far, I might head back to Fresh 2.1.1 if this battery life stays like it is running Fresh Toast.
You could also try running RegawMod, I have had noting but good to say about the ROM so far and battery life is wonderful! I use Strict I think on ak though., stay around 60MB free ram if that helps at all.
Thanks for the help. I decided to factory wipe, wipe SD and cache. I then flashed Fresh 2.1.1 and my battery life is back to normal. Might play with Fresh Toast some more later.
Thanks for all of your help.

How low can ur battery usage probably go?

Hopefully xperia users to conserve energy while the battery driver is fixed.
PLS state:
1) screen on idle battery usage xxxmA (no airplane mode with screen on)
2)standby screen off xxxmA
3)as much as u can on what u did, which build
4) any other optional tips.
PS. Use the currentwidget from the forum to check. Do not download from the market as it is older and xdandroid will show 0mA (incompatible)
1) mine is 220mA
2)standby 190~210
3) started running with LCD density- 190 on first boot , default in tremeres 27/9 build is 200.
Advanced task killer - under security set to low, restart the app and kill EVERYTHING. Absolute minimum backlight.(That's all I think)
4)Running music during standby helps abit...
Anyone out there has a better battery usage?

What is the CPU usage on your Phone ?

In idle mode ( Standby ) the CPU indicator shows about 20% average.
But sometimes out of the blue, it can shoot up to 100%.
( Which means a large increase in battery energy consumtion )
Current: 2 mA idle - - 325 mA when CPU at max.
Obviously there are some background apps causing this.
I understand that all these task killers and memory RAM boosters
are of no use because Android OS has its own smart way to manage
the RAM and apps installed on the phone. And it overrides these
task killer and RAM management apps installed on the phone.
You kill a running app, and back again it restarts.
But the OS subsequently shuts down the apps when it
decides it is no longer needed to run in the background.
Sort of smart management.
However it could be interesting to know the average CPU usage
and current in mA on the LG P990 when in standby mode and max mode.
Note: Before I had V20B and the idle current was over 100 mA.
After upgrading to V20f at the LG center, the idle current dropped
to 2 mA.
As far as I know the g2x doesn't have exact mah reading capability ... just "estimated "
I would imagine your in the same boat

Screen/Sleep of Death

I have a strange problem which more and more frustates me!
ROM: Tonyp build version 4
Kernel: 2.6.39.4-Kowalski-Exp
Baseband: LGP990AT-00-V20l-262-XX-Oct-21-2011+0
WLAN: normally OFF
Situation:
If i use my LG frequently (e.g. each 30 min once) there is no problem.
If i leave it untouched (e.g. more then 1-2 hours) it shuts off. Overnight it is everytime gone/off. I i try a call i get the mailbox so it is really shutted off.
Using Power off/on will normaly not start it, rebuilding battery also did not help in most of the cases. But connecting to power supply gave me everytime the possibility to start the phone. Battery is then also not empty and has still x % and i can again normally work with the phone.
What i try:
- Deinstall several Apps (e.g. Anti-Virus Lookout)
- max CPU set back from 1,2 to 1 GHz
- disabled zRam
- disabled all other memory settings like Tonyp memory optimization
- Kowalski Manager: disabled all WLAN power settings
Any suggestions are welcome!

Light Adjustment and Sleep Timeout

I noticed with my HTC One that when I turn the optimize battery mode, the screen timeout is almost always 15 sec even though I set it to 1 min. The same thing with light adjusted to automatic and changes the next time I check. Is this because I turn the optimize batter mode?
