I have been seeing odd periods of heavy cpu use and I am unable to pinpoint the reasons. systempanel is not showing any out of control apps, but sometimes shows prolonged heavy use of the cpu; often at 100% use. (also everytime I charge the device history shows 100% use the whole time, I do have dock mode active though) Often times when I see 100% load, the history shows it starting when I open systempanel, but systempanel is not showing heavy use according to its personal history chart. I contacted the dev and he is looking into it, but does not believe it is the app. The system my lag at these times, but does not become unresponsive. After a fresh reboot, systempanel seems to show normal cpu loads even when active and in the foreground, but after a time it shows 100% every time I open it. (and history shows the high use starts when I open the app, but sometimes the chart does show moderate heavy use around 50% before systempanel is even started, so I can not be sure if systempanel is the cause)
I have also been having odd slow downs and lag that a kill all command from a task manager will not fix, but a reboot does. (I am thinking this lag corresponds to random high cpu use, but because of the above unreliability of systempanel I can not know.
It seems to happen over time, like a memory leak but with cpu and system load.
Anyone else having this problem in FroYo?
Systempanel is the only app that I know of that has that level of detail about what is going on in the phone, so I can not check it against another app.
OK i was just curious and downloaded systempanel and looked at the cpu usage. First i have a uptime of 88 hours exactly. the cpu usage is between 277Mhz and 450Mhz. I'm also using Froyo and everythinds is stock (kernel, Rom).
SO maybe there is a app that isn't showing his cpu usage? i don't use any taskiller so i don't kill anything.
I have a task killer to kill any apps that go haywire. I found another app to check against systempanell it does not have logging but I can check current stats.
Guess I'm the only one?
Ok since installing a second active monitoring app, the weird cpu loads are gone; things seem normal. Both apps seem to show the same results. Though I still feel that the cpu load being at 100% the entire time the phone sits on the charger is unnecessary.

You still got it? i think there has to be a faulty app not that people got this problem, you are the only 2 i heard from though.

Yes, just today my gtalk froze with 100% cpu when switching to it. Had to force power off after waiting about 3 mins (power+vol down+trackball)
I am having the EXACT same problem, I was actually browsing through here to see if anyone else was getting it as well before i started my own thread...
it started yesterday actually and I am wondering if it is the new .0.4.2 launcher pro beta because i just put that on yesterday and i had no problems with .4.1
that is my speculation, can anyone confirm?
its probably not your launcher, I'm on ADW. Will try Launcher2 and see if it is better...
Hello guys,
lately my Nexus One abttery consumption gets more and more consumptive. I dunno why, I already reduced the home screen from 7 became 5 and reduce the widgets too. but the battery life now did't even reach one day.
I read that someone has their nexus one running 3 days with browsing and GPS n Sync ON.
any advice how to conserve battery life?
There are plenty of threads discussing that same question. Basically the answer is that there's no perfect formula. Experiment and see what you can achieve.
Personally I tend to turn off most of automatic syncing stuff, but it's not because of battery life, but rather because I want more control.
Also, if your mobile reception is constantly low, your battery life will be significantly shorter.
heres what i did to increase my battery life.
turn off wifi/bluetooth
i leave my screen brightness at 100% (i like my screen bright) and leave gps on since its only used when gps is required
download a battery saving kernal. im using intersectraven 925mv kernal. less power consumption=less battery used. its been shown that 925mv is the best voltage compared to 800mv/1000mv
download "Task Manager" from the market. use it to set all apps to "kill list" so that everything is killed when you put ur phone on lock/sleep. This app helped me save tons of battery. Power doesnt drain at all when your phone is idle and my phone is at constant 250+/- memory.
other then that my phone has all the widgets on the homescreen and battery is good

I don't suggest doing it, since it brings nothing good and no power saved. If you kill widgets that update themselves - you might as well not put them on the screen, since they do nothing. If you kill system services - you might as well uninstall the programs that run them, since they're not working. And for everything else - you're just wasting the CPU time required to kill and then relaunch programs, and the memory that can be used better.

1+2 = Nonsense.
1 - Kernel
2 - Task Killers cause more problems then they help.
Battery life is simply a function of how much CPU time is being used, how much data is being transferred, and how much the screen is on. Poor reception is another thing to consider, in most cases it's one of the three things above. Of course there are other factors, like how much you're talking on the phone, etc, but it boils down to three major things.
CPU time generally is only a problem when using the phone, games, live wallpapers (particularly 3D ones), and sometimes bad processes or badly designed programs. You can evaluate all of this using System Panel in the market.
How much data is being transferred you can control directly by setting your sync settings, or if you want to isolate it completely, disable syncing on all apps and otherwise use the phone normally. If you have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, GMail, IM (Gtalk/whatever others), Weather, etc all syncing, it's going to be a lot of random traffic. Setting the phone to EDGE-only will reduce some of the battery usage from this, but controlling the syncing itself IMO is a better option than using EDGE.
Screen of course is how much you are playing with the phone, and I think this is the one that most people have problems with. If you're messing with the phone all day long, yes, it's going to "eat battery", and it's going to be caused from all three things above. CPU from you doing stuff, probably network traffic from you doing stuff, and the power to drive the screen. Some people suggest using black themes or backgrounds. Yes, AMOLED uses more power to drive a bright white than an LCD, and much more power to drive bright white vs black or dark, but think about how much you're staring at the background.. Only on the launcher. Do you stare at the launcher all day? But perhaps if you're reading a book for an extended period it's worth it to set it to white on black, vs black on white. Sometimes you can't control this, such as the browser is (generally) a white background.
I'm no expert, but god I'm tired of hearing nonsense around everything "eating battery".
I see, thanks 4 d advice you all
maybe the good way out is the Kernel flashing.
any recommendation maybe? which kernel are the best?
I don't want to downgrade my 1GHz clock though...

I'm wondering if there's something I can do/change to get more time with continual use out of a full battery.
After 4 hours of web browsing, my battery is down to 40%.
I'm on cm7 7.1 with 6/30 kernel

I have the brightness turned down really low and I've used the battery callibration app, a few times.
No problems with deep sleep- just looking to get more time from continual use.
Any ideas?
Do you run an auto-task killer app? Because if so you're trading very short term memory savings for a boat load of processor time. Ever since Froyo, and especially Gingerbread, Google made significant changes to the idle-memory allocation management and active-process management logic. All task-killers accomplish in 2.2+ is wasting processor time because 90% of the time android will immediately(depending on the app's historic use and prioritization) restart said app thinking there was some sort of critical failure. (you can check for your self, get the app "System info pro", and preform a kill. For the next 10-15 minutes you'll watch nearly all of the killed processes return to life, and re-assume their use of active/idle ram.
Example: You have 20% ram available, not idle mind you, and the app you've chosen to run needs 35%. First android will prioritize and organize all of the idle apps(which reside in idle ram, kind of like a really big stepping stone between oblivion and active status), and start purging from the bottom-up. Continuing till there's enough free'd memory to launch. Android also has the option of clearing/shrinking assets as a last resort before playing the guessing game as to which active apps aren't important. I don't exactly know what conditions need to be met in order for an app to achieve active(more-protected) status, rather than idle, but it's fairly good at figuring it out, or android wouldn't be so godly at multi-tasking.
A little long-winded comment, but I don't prefer giving advice and backing it up with because I said so logic.
TL;DR For 2.2+ don't use Auto-task killers, they gorge on your precious mA/hr's. Use something like "System info pro" or any comparable app to singly kill, or a pre-setup batch kill, apps as you experience issues.
Other than that, my only advice for battery life would be to not have apps you don't regularly use installed. If they're not installed they can't second-hand or tertiary-hand waste power.
In all reality, most if not all further battery/CPU efficiency increases will come from the hard work put in by Dalingrin/verygreen/murdok to increase hardware optimization for our version of android/kernel. (I know there's more key players, just can't think of them off hand)
Woot- I'm not using a task killer app, but thanks anyway for the info!
It sounds like people.are getting better results that I am with heavier use (videos, gaming, etc.) , so I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong.
Are there any settings that I can change that might help?
I'm more familiar with iPhone battery saving settings- where themes and push email eat lots of battery.
Is that the same case with android?
How much do widgets impact battery life? I don't think I have alot- but maybe there are some that eat more battery than others?
I know your first post said while web browsing but when you aren't using data you can turn off wifi to save power. Like when playing a game or watching a video from emmc/sd.

Finding the root cause of battery drain...

There are a number of standard steps to run through to find the root cause of battery problems, assuming the drain is caused by the OS or apps and not actually due to a physically failing battery.
I have been tracking a few battery issues myself recently and this is what I have learned from doing some reading on XDA:
There are two free apps on the app market that are typically used to diagnose battery problems:
Better Battery Stats
CPU Spy
I would recommend installing both apps. The third place to look is in the battery details in the system settings...sorry I can't remember what they look like on Gingerbread because upgraded to Jelly Bean a couple months ago, though I do remember there was less information in the stock battery info on Gingerbread.
IF you are not, indeed dealing with a physically dead battery, then the root of your battery drain is most likely caused by a background process or app that is keeping the processor in a partially active state even though the screen is turned off and one would assume the phone should not be using any power.
Android OS will automatically change the running speed of the processor in the phone based on the demand of the system. If only a few background tasks are running and updating information the speed might be 200 or 400 Mhz. If the system is running full out servicing a graphic intensive game the processor will likely be running at the full 1000 MHz speed. The speed of the processor will directly effect the battery drain.
The expectation is that when we turn the display off (not power down, just put the phone to sleep) the processor should need fewer resources and slow down, tending towards a state known as "Deep Sleep". At this point the processor us using very minimal amounts of power. Any app or process that is active in the background will prevent the processor from getting to Deep Sleep. The CPU spy app will allow you to check how much time the phone runs at various speeds. Once you install it and run it, then reset the timers in the menu and turn your screen off for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then 'refresh' the timers. Normally, you should see most of the time accumulated in Deep Sleep. There are standard background tasks such as syncing with the cell tower, updating time, mail, checking alarms etc. That will engage the processor momentarily but they should be relatively short compared to the deep sleep time. In my case, an errand process was keeping my phone at 100Mhz constantly preventing deep sleep.
Once you know that something is keeping the phone awake in the background, you can use Better Battery Stats to narrow down which process or app it is the cause. This app allows you to track the individual processes that are consuming the most time and preventing 'wakelocks'. Wakelocks are essentially an app preventing the sleep state and are very well explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827676
The battery info in the system settings can also be used to give clues though again, I can't remember how much detail was included in Gingerbread..
If your problem only started happening recently, then it could be a new app that you installed recently, a feature or setting you changed recently or possibly a recent update to an app that was already installed. Try to think back at any recent events that could have triggered a change in the system.
Common problem apps I have read about are:
- Facebook - seems to be bad at using lots of background processor time. (Don't run this app but reading several posts shows its a processor hog)
- Google Apps that sync - Gmail, Chrome (syncs browser history, tabs etc.), Google location stats.
The wakelocks link goes into a great deal of detail and is hugely valuable in nailing your issue down.
Good Luck, let use know via a post if you find the root cause...
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear about it being 'dead'.
The battery is 100% or thereabouts, no problems ever with the battery.
The phone looked as though it was turned off, but wouldn't turn on again with the power button.
I have to take the battery out and put it back again, then it starts on the button.
I've cleaned the contacts, and it still happened.

To me, it sounds more like a rogue process messing up power managing or response, but it's hard to tell what it could actually be.
For instance, you might come a cross a game that leaves your phone locked in max cpu frequency, draining the battery without explanation.
If it was me, I'd re-flash the rom from Odin, perhaps with an sd card wipe too.

I bought my first Samsung phone in over 10 years, the Samsung S20 FE 4G with the Snapdragon chipset.
To my surprise the device is heating up very quickly while in use:
With light use, like messaging apps the CPU stays around 37 to 49°C,
While gaming it stays around 47 to 50°C+ (I believe the 60°C was the biggest temperature spike).
I've heard people saying that transferring data from your older phone via Smart Switch may cause this heating issue, but I don't think that should be a issue.
Lastly, I have no clue on how weather affects the phone's temperature.
Despite being winter, we're having temperatures around 40°C where I live, but even when the night comes and the temperature drops to around 20°C (right now it's 26°C and the CPU temperature is around 40°C, while I'm listening to music via Bluetooth and (re)writing this post) my phone still heats up (just not as much as in the rest of the day).
I think it's worth mentioning that the CPU temperature is also changing quickly, I don't know if that's normal or not but for instance, when I switch from one app to another, if the app I'm using to measure the device temperature (CPU Monitor) is to be believed, the temperature jumps some 2 to 5°C. It usually comes back down again, but I really don't know if that's normal.
I went to the Samsung store today, they checked, did some tests, and said that the temperature was at normal range, but they said that the temperature while switching between apps was a little strange.
They also said that their system detected a temperature spike caused by Fine Lock on the day that I bought the phone, which I find weird since it's only a launcher to the Good Lock apps, but nevertheless they advised me to uninstall it and keep monitoring the temperature for a few more days, and that if the device gets too hot (over 60°C), that I should go back again and ask for a replacement.
Anyway, should I give some time, should I worry about it, should I take it back to the store?
I have the same model as you and I haven't experienced any of the symptoms you are talking about. If I were you I'd return it and get another one. At least then you can be sure if it is normal or a defective device.
SmartSwitch isn't that smart especially between different OS's/devices.
I think you better start from the beginning...
Backup your contacts etc to the PC using cut/copy plus at least one other hdd.
Factory reset. Reload from scratch. Run factory loaded versions; do not update any at first.
Avoid enabling any power management at least at first.
See what you got and go from there.
It's likely not hardware at all but a bad configuration. Common with Samsungs and correctable.

Thank you. I'm thinking about doing it. I've talked to some S20 FE owners who live in my country (which is a very hot country) and they said that the device temperatures are basically the same as theirs, but at the same time I'm still worried about it's long term effects since I plan to keep this phone for at least two years.

Thank you, I did what you told me (except for flashing the factory stock ROM since I couldn't find it), I've only restored the apps using the Google backup, but didn't restore my settings. I've also did a mild debloat of the phone (removed Bixby and the Facebook apps) and while using the phone to browse through social media doesn't heat the phone as much as it used to, it still heats up more or less the same during gaming, so I'm guessing that might be normal.
Depending on how CPU cycle intensive the game is, it could normally use a fair amount of power.
Running background apps can make it noticeable worse though.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that helps.

It's Honking Impact 3rd, it's not intensive like PUBG or something like that, but can be intensive depending on the game mode. It runs at 53°C max. I found out that one of the apps that I was using to measure the temperature apparently only shows the temperature of the hottest CPU core, that's why the temperature sometimes shoot up to 60°C whenever I took a screenshot for example, and then came back down to around 50°C.
But I'll try disabling Play Services and playing again.
Do you know if those temperatures are safe btw? Around 50°C while I'm gaming.
The battery's temperature doesn't go past 40°C, in fact I don't even think I've ever seen it getting to 40°C.
Anyway, thank you very much.
You're welcome. The Farenheit is scaled better for real world use.
140F is well within tolerance for the CPU/mobo as long as the battery doesn't get hotter than that. I don't let my battery go beyond 103F.
The CPU/mobo can handle up to probably 165F but it's best never to push it that hot as auto thermal shutdown doesn't always work in time to save the components that are running hot and have a sudden additional power usage spike.
Really the phone shouldn't feel hot... it's killing the battery too. Track them down.
If it feels warm when using the browser, something(s) are running in the background driving it up.
Any cloud apps, including Google backup Transport, Framework and Google Firebase.
Ditch any trashware apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram etc.
I'm using my 10+ in a case at a 75F ambient air temp browsing with a CPU temp of 89F right now. It is stock but heavily optimized.

The phone doesn't feel hot, unless I'm playing a game, depending on the game it gets somewhat hot.
It's been colder in my city these past two days, but tomorrow we'll have a temperature that's closer to normal. If the phone manages to stay in an acceptable temperature range I'll keep it, if not, I'll return it to the store and see what I can get done.
My old phone didn't have a plastic back, so feeling the phone warm is a new thing for me.
Most Google apps are disabled, I only use WhatsApp to talk to my family, I have Instagram installed but I don't even remember when it was the last time I've used it (I put it on deep sleep also).
Thank you very much once again.

Once you do that you need to track down the trouble makers and deal with each on a case by case basis. Sometimes simply cleaning the system memory in Device Care can work wonders. Keep open apps to a minimum.
Here's the old version of Device Care. It uses 360° which cleans very well but is CCP junk.
To safely use it use Karma Firewall* to block its internet access. It will still run normally.
Before uninstalling your current version use Apk Export** to make a installable copy, just in case.
*freeware, uses almost no battery
**freeware that is very useful to backup all your apps and updates for future use... ditch Playstore for reloads

This is normal. Just because their bucket state is marked as active doesn't mean they are running. It simple means Android is no longer managing them by assigning a bucket state to them and so on. Google it... it sounds like a great idea but it never worked well for me in practice. Android still manages the apps with it off less the added resource burden of this system.

Sorry. You are correct.
I got rid of the updated version by doing a factory reset. You can try loading the older version by first force stopping the loaded version. It may worked... try this first.
I guess a adb edit would allow you to disable the current one. If the older one will load is another question.

My 10+ was a battery guzzling hot running hog before I optimized it. It took some time and effort
Today you never guess it is that same phone.
If there's any doubts get a refund. It could be hardware, even a heat sink or pipe issue.
That said this is a commonly seen problem that has nothing to do with hardware in Samsungs.
Do some Google searches for that device and hot running issues. See what you find.

That said this is a commonly seen problem that has nothing to do with hardware in Samsungs.
Do some Google searches for that device and hot running issues. See what you find.

I can relate. I had a Xiaomi before this one, and the stock ROM was plagued with app killing and battery drain. I'm glad you managed to work it out, all I had to do was switch to a custom ROM.
I've tested the same game again today since the temperature has gone back to normal where I live, and while the CPU temperatures are in acceptable range, the battery temperature got to 40°C/104°F.
I did some research regarding overheating on this phone and it's always the same thing, some have it like I do, while others say the phone doesn't even warm up the palm of their hands. So I don't know if its a configuration issue or if there are a lot of defective devices out there.
