Hi, I just got a TMO Wing. Thanks for many threads here, I downloaded Statusbattery and overclocked my wing to 247. It works great. I have a question regard the accuracy of batterystatus. I underclocked to 156Mhz just to save battery yesterday so it can last a bit longer until I can recharge it at home. However, I found that the current drain shown in batter status is 177mA. I changed it back to 201 MHz, it show 112 mA, but if I overclocked it to 247mA, it showed 64mA. What just happened? Is something wrong with my phone? I thought that the lower the clock goes, the less current it drains. And all the cases were when Wifi and bluetooth disable. Only the phone option is on. No other background app is running.
Best regards
it's called batterystatus, first of all
anyway. Its possible that the amperage meter refreshes at a different rate than the clock speed. Or it could just be that it's wrong.
Its also possible that the processor is being actively used, even if nothing else is running.
It also could be that a slower clocked processor needs more power to get things done than a faster one because it takes a longer. The faster clockspeed finishes quickly, so it can idle at 64mA.
Your guess is as good as mine. Try setting it low, then waiting a while
OK...so MUCH THANKS to Mr. Carlisle for gettin me all squared away with rooting my Hero and upgrading to Froyo 2.2. All back ups complete, apps downloaded and only major bug thus far is the camera...SO....why is my battery running at 105 degrees on average? What should the normal range be? I turn it on @ 6 am after charging to 100% and wiping battery stats and ten hours later recharge it to 100% (Currently @ 50%) and all day the temp has been between 103 and 105. whycome? HELP!

Because on FRF91 on Cyanogen mod (which i assume you are using) is overclocked to 710 mhz, where the hero's processor runs at 528 normally. My suggestion is to download an app called overclock widget from the market, (Obviously, it's a widget and you'll have to add it to your homescreen) and set the minimum and maximum clock (processor) speed to 240mhz(min) and 518mhz [or 534, if you want to, but it won't make much difference] (max).
You can set the max (or minimum) clock speed to be more or less. Lower clock(processor) speed=More lag but better battery life, and potential to freeze your hero because the processor can't operate the system fast enough. Higher clock(processor) speed= Faster and less lag but less battery life and can damage your touch screen (It's happened to me). if you leave it at too high a clock speed for too long, and can also freeze your phone because your processor can't operate at that speed and crashes your phone.
It's up to you if you want to overclock or not, but you should keep it resonable, and if you have heavy phone usage, don't go much further than 613 mhz for your max. There is also another program called set cpu that is avalible for free for xda members, but is a paid app on the market. Using that, you can set your frequencies to the default hero processor, or of other phones. But overclocking over 710mhz could do some harm to your phone, so be careful.
If you say, "I wonder if this will damage my phone," then don't take the chance without asking around first.
If you have any more questions about overclock, pm me, and I can help you out.
That temperature range, ~40C is completely normal when charging and using at the same time (with me, anyway). I'm OC'ed to 710 and using undervolt, too. The highest I've ever seen mine go is 43C, or about 109F. I don't really know where the "danger zone" is, but if I had to guess it would be around 48C or higher.
Edit: I reread your post, and do you mean it's at 40C always, even when it's sitting doing nothing? If that's the case then follow Ryoma Echizen's advice and fine-tune your CPU speed.
So I'd like to gather some data to see which is the most battery efficient kernel.
To eliminate variances with 3G / Wifi / Brightness / ROMs / Battery size, I'd like to look at only the CPU power consumption, which is really the only thing a kernel changes. (That relates to power efficiency anyway.)
Now, how do we do this? Essentially we want to measure the power used by the CPU compared to the load placed on it.
Going to "Battery Use" we can see various %s that break down what uses what battery. And tapping on "Android System" leads to a screen with the "CPU Total" time. I believe this is a pretty accurate measurement of the amount of load the CPU has been placed under.
Now that we can find the load placed on it, we need to find how much power the CPU drew. Simply multiplying the "Android System"% by "Total time since unplugged" will give essentially how many minutes of power the CPU took up.
Now, dividing load by power consumed should give us, in effect, the "power efficiency."
For example, my numbers are:
10h 20m since unplugged. = 620 min
Android System: 11%
CPU Total: 7m 15s = 7.25 min
So, Android System used (620m)(11%) = 68.2 minutes of power.
Load = 7.25 min.
Load / Power = 7.25 / 68.2 = 0.10627
Step by Step-
1. Find time since unplugged. Find "Android System"%. Find CPU Total time.
2. Time since unplugged * "Android System"% = Power
3. CPU Total time = Load
4. Load / Power
5. Post along with kernel =]
If you guys are interested in doing a test, please:
Have the kernel flashed for at least 24 hours before doing the test. And have at last one complete discharge cycle. (Some say kernels need to "settle")
Set to 998/245, governor to on-demand. (Use SetCPU)
For HydraKernal, please go into Advanced and change Sampling Rate = 20000. Up Threshold = 95. Ignore Nice Load = 0, Powersave Bias = 0.
Run as long as possible (as low % as possible), and then do the calculation.
Please post:
Kernel
Load / Power ratio. (5 decimal places)

Where do you factor in the CPU frequency and voltage?
Doesn't it matter what max speed and governor we use.
I think we should all test w/ a max of 998MHz using the "on demand" with NO custom profile. (since every kernel/phone can do this)
Or, am I wrong?

The CPU clocks down when you turn the screen off (that's why music sometimes will skip shortly afterwards). Tasks that are using CPU time while the processor is clocked down (and using less voltage) will obviously take longer, but overall use less power (because of the lower voltage).
Some kernels have Conservative as the default governor; how would switching the profile to On Demand represent those kernels accurately?
If ur battery life sux, and you are on the latest radio, flash back to 07.28. I did that last night and have over 60% battery left 24hrs later.
Thanks jermaine151!
Ah, thanks for the feedback, I thought I might be forgetting something. Stock speed for anyone testing.
But I don't think the governor will matter. Conservative will take longer to scale up, and will have a lower CPU Total time, but will also have a lower power draw.
So I think the ratio will hold. In any case, if we get enough testers, we'll see xD

Fixed it for you.
Higher CPU time but lower draw is not what your equation assumes.

Ah, you sir are right.
How about we run everything exactly as the kernels come?
So basically, no using SetCPU. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the dev would make the kernel use whatever they thought best.
Perhaps in the future there will be room for a test with SetCPU, but for now, run everything w/o SetCPU.
Hmm, to remove OC variable, no OCed Hydras. Only SS undervolt.
How's that?

If 6 minutes of CPU time on one kernel isn't the same as 6 minutes of CPU time on another kernel (On Demand vs Conservate, etc), I don't know how you can compare the two using CPU time. I also don't have a different metric in mind

No no, that's exactly what we are comparing! =]
We want to see how much power 6 minutes of CPU time is on various kernels, out of the box.
Sure, we're removing the aspect of SetCPU tweaking, but this will give an "out of the box" benchmark.
The whole point is that two kernels are going to perform differently. The question is which will come out ahead!
Not every Kernel has Conservative (koush.test and koush.test2) but i think all have on-demand.
Ultimately, we should compare all the kernels at different max speeds with all governors, but let's see if we can start with 998MHz on demand.
Also, I think it best to use SetCPU. We need to set/limit variables and SetCPU is the best way to do that.

This. Okay, so it's settled (mostly). 998MHz on-demand. But what about the min setting? Do you think all the min should be set to 245? Because adryalyne's kernels can have 128 as min.

All right, it's ALL settled now.
998/245. On-demand. And let the testing begin! =]
(Unless there's anything else?)
koush.test2: 245 min, 998 max, on-demand.
3h 15m since unplugged. = 195 min
Android System: 4%
CPU Total: 5m 20s = 5.33 min
So, Android System used (195m)(.04) = 7.8 minutes of power.
Load = 5.33 min.
Load / Power = 5.33 / 7.8 = .6833
I didn't "have the kernel flashed for at least 24 hours before doing the test. And have at last one complete discharge cycle" because I have never read that "kernels need to settle."

Great thread.. I hope we get tons of data soon..
Do you at the very least have the phone in airplane mode? There are several things under the "Android System" heading; on CyanogenMod for instance, Account and Sync Settings, Google Backup Transport, Network Location, etc are listed. What if Accounts and Sync fires up during one (and only one) of your kernel tests? Or Google Backup Transport? Or a weather widget requests your phone's location?
I notice you're using the percentage that Android System used, but you're not comparing it to any of the items that don't use CPU time (like the Display). Android System's percentage is going to change a lot if the Display (or WiFi, or GPS, or the Cell Radio, or a combination, etc) consumed 10% vs 80% of your battery. And if you're doing this on a Sense ROM, the percentages listed under Battery Use are wildly inaccurate anyway.
You're gathering data without knowing what that data even means.
But I'm done; just wanted to ensure that anyone who stumbles upon this thread (like TylerD004) aren't lead to believe that your results were derived scientifically, or are in any way accurate or useful

Hmm, I understand what you're saying. You think that, because some people will use use their phones more heavily one day than the other, that the data will be inconsistent?
I'm going to disagree. Because if I use my phone more, then I will have greater Load, but ALSO use greater Power. Thus, I believe the ratio will remain the same.
You pointed out that "Android System"'s % will wildly vary, but I think that's okay. It doesn't matter how much power anything non-CPU related uses, because that's not what we're measuring. I believe
(Time since unplugged) * (Android System %)
will always reflect how much power the CPU used, independent of anything non-CPU related. Sure, "Android System"% may be knocked down if "Cell Standby" sucks up like 50%. But a decreased (%) and an increased (time since unplugged) will come out the same I think.
Do correct me if I'm wrong?
So as the title says, my note has never lasted a full day on a full charge. Even with moderate use, it lasts maybe 15-16 hours. With heavy use, playing a game or 2 or using the browser, it lasts maybe 9 hours. From the first day I got it I've rooted it and have used only the romow rom.
Currently on the version 7.5 HD.
BB: LA4
Kernal: AbyssNote 3.3
Each time I flash a new rom I always do a battery calibration test and even wipe the battery stats on recovery.
I notice people get a full day's use from the battery and maybe even more. Is there something I am missing? My wi-fi is always off unless I am at home or when needed. I turn the data connection off too most of the times. When I look at the battery usage in settings (I do this often), the display shows the most usage, always more than 65%, and nothing else. The android system, android OS, cell standby and whatever else are always less than 10%. Is there something I can do to increase the time the battery lasts? I'd like to get a full day's worth, and even more
Use black backgrounds and dark apps? Amoleds don't use power to display black. Whites will suck your battery dry.

Recently i visited a samsung service centre. I asked the engineer as what kind of problems people have reported in the note other than screen issues and he said battery issues and people ve got their batteries replaced. Maybe u want to get urs checked.

I would also suggest get your battery checked. But more than likely, Samsung will say 15-16 hours of moderate use is normal.
I am currently using Rocket ROM v20 with Abyss 3.5b. I have had it without charge for 12 hours now and from 100% it is at 82% right now. So far today I have watch an ep of anime (22mins long), gaming for 1.5 hours, had 4 phone calls (total of 42 mins). I think only draining 18% after all of that is impressive.

That is impressive. If I watch a 40 min show only, my battery would go down from 100% to 65. And if I play a game for an hour (depends on the cpu/ram usage the game takes up to), then my battery is at 20%. And this has been since the beginning. The moderate use I am talking about is calls here and there, texting, playing a game for maybe 20 min. Like today I played Shadowgun for a total of an hour, where's my water for 20 min, and texted a bit, made 2 calls, and used dolphin browser for 10 min. It hasnt even been 12 hours and my battery is at 20%. Ahhh I think I just need to get a new battery.
I know roms/kernals/basebands all factor into battery usage as well, so are there any suggestions as to which one might be good with this? Aesthetically I love romow's rom. I love every layout of it. Rocket rom is a little too "in your face" kind of, atleast for me.
Im always set my brightness to 0% and im not using auto brightness. What if you change the kernel to FM 2.0 Kernel. i find it saves more batt than abyss kernel.

I actually like the "in your face" look, of course that is my preference. I heard that checkrom is good for battery but in all honesty, I have tried a couple of roms and there isn't a huge difference between them. The biggest difference with battery usage I have notice is when you start using a OCing app with profiles like SetCPU. Tweak the power usage with each speed step and create profiles for when the screen is off, on call and etc.

How hot does it get compared to room temp? 15C warmer? 20C warmer?
I'd really love to work with some people to come up with a step by step guide on how to track down and fix battery drain / over heat problems.
The best way to waste power is to make heat with radio chip and GPU. Second best is to make light with torch or screen.
I know with the change in battery technology, some old practice no longer applies but I still follow the old rule of thumb when I get a new equipment.
When I got my Note, the very first thing I did was charge the phone for 12 hours before actually using it. You might want to give that a shot, the reading on the battery may not always be correct.

may i know which governor are you using? try to update the AbyssNote kernel to latest v3.5c and try either the AbyssPlug, lulzactive or SmartassV2 governor then see if there's any difference
Running stock LA4 ROM here. Brightness usually on lowest. If you don't touch the phone, it can last on standby a week. See below how it only lost 3% after 17 hours. Of course as the screen was off all the time, the internal processes take most of the power consumed.
After more than 1 day I still have 50% battery. See how it drops fast when I'm using the phone to read and download web pages.
I have the self same issue - battery hardly lasts a day - I just about manage to get home 8 hours later on critical - to hook it up to mains to charge.
All I use it during the course of the day - is browsing forums via tapatalk, viewing the occasional email. No hectic media consumption and music playing.
I am trying a different route now - it was running on stock firmware - over the weekend I've taken the following steps.
Rooted my device , installed CheckRom Revo v5 , running speedmod kernel with modem LA4
Hoping to see how that improves things.

First of all, you should post a screen shot of your battery graph.
How bright is your screen? If it's at 100%, then you're going to chew through battery very fast.
Games that require very high cpu usage will kill the battery.
Some games I can play forever on - some games, like Plants vs zombies, or puzzle quest 2, kill the battery. I can probably get 3-4 hours worth on a battery, and that's with a very low screen brightness. That's the price to pay with a fast cpu.
Dolphin is quite the battery hog too. I try to avoid it - I browse for hours with opera mobile, especially with the green on black mod.

Whats the best app for battery statistics? I will get the graph and post a screenshot tm. My brightness is usually 50 % set in the middle always. Today I put my brightness all the way down to 0, I literally did not use my phone, maybe turned it on couple times during the day for 2 min, sent 1 text, played a game for 5 min, and used a medical application for 10 min, just to check the battery. With that much minimal amount of phone usage, after about 9 hours my battery was at 79%. Is that normal?
Just wanted to say thanks for the help also
it should make a difference. for battery monitoring, I'm using Battery Monitor widget. you may give it a try.

Whats the best app for battery statistics? I will get the graph and post a screenshot tm. My brightness is usually 50 % set in the middle always. Today I put my brightness all the way down to 0, I literally did not use my phone, maybe turned it on couple times during the day for 2 min, sent 1 text, played a game for 5 min, and used a medical application for 10 min, just to check the battery. With that much minimal amount of phone usage, after about 9 hours my battery was at 79%. Is that normal?
Just wanted to say thanks for the help also

Install better battery stats and check for kernel wakelocks. If there exists some that last longer than 10 mins then some app is involved in the battery leak
Does anybody know of an App that will Display Cpu use battery charge mA and temperature?
I have apps that do some but not all.
Thanks on advance.
temp+cpu v2
displays the temp, the speed the cpu is running and free ram, doesnt disaaly the ma tho
Battery monitor widget by 3c. Displays battery level, voltage, temperature in notifications bar.
It also has battery history, high temperature and voltage, full charge and charge complete alerts.
Perfect system monitor showed promise but does not work on my install
Did you try BMW ?
You need to download notifications separately.

I keep seeing it but thought it was something to do with the car!
What info can it display?
Battery temp, battery level, ma, estimation.

It can display temp, level, ma on notification bar. You do not need to pull it down.
I find BMW really useful for monitoring the battery drain, yet afair Note's chipset does not provide direct mA values, so what BMW does instead is estimate the current based on % of battery usage over time - in other words - those are not exact values, and updates mores frequent than 5 minutes are pointless and waste battery by itself
I am just wanting somthing that will tell me if the battery is still charging after it has reached 100% I had one instance where the battery got hot while full and sitting at Idle which is why I also wanted to see CPU on the battery graph
