Hey there folks. I had an idea (it hurt a little).......has anyone seen or is anyone willing to make an app that will test OC/UV settings (yes i know this part already exists in Stability Test and Neocore).....here's the really useful part....and then make recommendations as to what your settings should be changed to? I am no where near smart enough to be able to pull this off and I know we have some wicked Devs here!
Just a thought......
Not sure if you can really have that... The optimum levels of OC and UV is directly dependent on your phone, the neocore and stability test just tries to confirm that those settings "work").
The problem is that when there's a problem, your phone will crash (And thus, you'll need to restart your phone). So no app will be able to correctly define the correct levels for you if your phone is going to crash half-way throught the testing phase...

I get the concept, but what if the program, like stab test, recorded at what point your phone crashed and gave you feedback based on that. We would still have to do a little trial and error but it would be a good start point. I am just talking concept, i don't really have the technical knowledge to know whether it is possible or not.
my mobile is x1i.

this certainly isn't normal.
yes, battery gets warm while charging, expecially via usb. it also gets warm when wifi is active continously for a long time (like surfing an hour). warm = 40°C max. it gets really hot when charging with wifi active during standby (this requires a change in registry though, standard is wifi being disabled in standby).
but what you are describing (very hot, the activities you describe, empty in 10 minutes) isn't normal! sounds like a broken battery (hw-failure). have you tried flashing another rom?
You should see what kind of rom you are using cuz may be if it overclocks your CPU, this might cause heat ... so, try flashing another rom that doesn't overclock your CPU ... if not, then this might be a hardware problem ... I hope this helps, if not, I'm sorry ...
thanx for reply me dear.............
bt i have a another problem with this,
phone heating problem is over automatically. but with that microphone & primary (hearing when calling)speaker dosent work. bt front speaker works. mp3 & video sounds works. i reset my phone more times. but it wasnt ok. nw phone cannot make a call or hear a call because tha the both of them are i think burned.
I've not had that issue before .... I've the normal heating while charging only ... but I think you might want to flash another rom ... cuz this just seems to be too many problems and it might be cuz of the software ... so, try to flash another rom, if the problem presists ... then seek hardware help ... or I hope someone here may know the reason
thanx for reply me dear.............

I think these are too many problems you are having, so I would suggest a factory reset from the reset button under the battery cover or that you flash one of the roms on the site here ... It seems mostly software problems .... so, try flashing one of the roms ... I use 826X which doesn't overclock, so that might also help with ur overheating problem ... if flashing a new rom doesn't help, may be u should seek some hardware assistant but I think mostly it will solve it ... or factory reset might do the trick ... but this is as far as I know ... hope somebody who had the same problem may present a solution
yes i reset it many times. & im not overclocked it. is that my micriphone gone. there is something , if i unplugged my earphone that microphone icom shows on phone display. why is that. ithink it willbe a key point. bt mp3 playing is normal. audio qualitity is normal.
Hi, currently running CM10.1 on my i9305 and am getting a big battery drain from kernel wakelock mdm_hsic_pm0. Done some searching around and can only find out that its connected to something called Fast Dormancy?
Anyone know how I can solve this problem or explain what this is so I can try and fix whatever is causing it?
Thanks in advance! :good:

Have the same issue. Means my phone rarely goes under 9% battery drain per hour.
The only information I've found on the problem has been off this other forum - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23643509 - where someone states that
mdm_hsic_pm0 is to do with network traffic, so something might be using data in the background or something.

I don't know anything else though. After reading the above, I thought it might be to do with my battery management app (the issue has remained with both JuiceDefender and GreenPower) monitoring traffic and during off data if traffic drops below a certain amount. Maybe the traffic monitoring is causing wakelocks whenevery it's checking?

I had the same issue on the i9305....thought i m not even on a 3g network...its a pain why samsung is always trying to making things more difficult in their products. S2 had fastdormancy but you could toggle it off in the *#9900* menu but S3 does not. Anyway i fixed my issue that cause a massive drain too, but let me say that fast dormancy and mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock are different. once i fixed the fastdormancy i got this one to worry about. i suggest you go over to youtube and search in the field : "fastdormancy erica griffin"....she has about a 10min video that explains the fastdormancy in the first 5 mins and how to check if ur service provider has it on your network and how to turn it off....that did the trick for me
Heads up: shes using a i9300 but the same thing goes for the i9305 (yes including the app in the google store that you'll have to download by the name fastdormancy i9300 toggle switch--->works just fine on my i9305!) and youll have to be rooted first....
FYI theres another tutorial how to turn it off but that involves tasker and is best left to the developers (i didnt understand one bit of that coding so i suggest you stick to erica's video. shes done a great job...)
I still don't understand how to fix since you said its not related to fast dormancy

Hi. I replied to another thread regarding this issue, but I have the same problems and I can share my thoughts on the matter here.
From what I understand (and read from another forum - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23643509), mdm_hsic_pm0 is to do with your phone monitoring network traffic. In this sense, it could very well be related to FastDormancy.
Through my experience with the problem (which is about a month of use now), I've found that restarting your phone fixes the problem until something unknown sets it off again. After a restart, my phone will sit on ~2% - 3% usage per hour and then once this problem starts, my phone doesn't seem to enter sleep. No idea why.
I was able to remedy a big part of the problem by installing Greenify and having it hibernate apps like, Google+, Facebook and WhatsApp. No solution though.

From my experience apps have nothing to do with it, I tested with a clean install, not even google account set! Those wakelocks are still happening on 3G, but not on Wi-Fi. I'm trying a stock rom now to see what changed... the situation is just horrible, I have "android system" using more power than "screen". On my S4 on a 3h screen and all day usage on 3g "android system" is at the bottom
Never found a solution in the end. Tried everything, wiped and started again.... Deleted all apps... Etc etc. Switched to the rextreme ROM and the problem has completely disappeared. Battery performance is now amazing. Still a shame though as I use cm on a few other devices without any issue. Rextreme is good but not as good as stock jelly bean.
If anyone every finds a solution, post it in here so I can find it and switch back
I found that by editing the build.prop file in system with a manual command worked for me.
Not my own idea, but by putting the code ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 at the end of build.prop worked.
Seems to work fine on all 4.2.2 aosp ROMs I've tried.
Just save it and reboot. Root explorer works fine for this task.
Hello ,
im using the HTC One M7 Since he got in the dutch store.

Thank you for reading this! if you can help me out please leave a message!

You probably have a rogue app. Search, this has been asked a lot. Install Gsam or better battery stats or wakelock detector. Make sure you also install it as a system app if you're running kitkat.

Tnx for ur reaction
Yes, I meansan app that stops your phone from sleeping.
Installing as a system app... It'll probably ask you, or it's in the settings. You'll figure it out if you try.

Hi,
Let me apologise first for posting this message but I really need help from this forum. I rooted my Xperia SP 12.1.A.1.205 using Towelroot & then installed SuperSU & gained complete root access.
I'm completely clueless regarding all this. I want to know what should I do next? I want to improve my phone's battery life and work on other features. How do I do it? This is the first time I rooted my phone. I have zero knowledge regarding this.
Please help me in improving my battery's life and let me know what should be my next step. Would be highly grateful if someone guides me.
Thanks!

You will have a glorious day experiencing new stuff if you search through Google. But no worries I will give you some head start suggestions.
I recommend Xposed Framework to be installed on your phone. Learn about it here. With it you can now modify your ROM to be as best as possible as per to your need. Some module recommendations, you can use GravityBox to modify some nice visual appearances on your ROM. You might also use GEM Xperia Xposed to advancedly modify your Xperia home screen. You will also find YourTube interesting as it allows you to change how the YouTube app behaves.
Battery saving is a lot better with Xposed installed. By using Greenify you can hibernate RAM hogging plus battery killing app. Also with Amplify you can drastically reduce battery draining caused by Google services.
Last but not least, you may also experience the bigger picture, by installing recovery and flash a new ROM on your phone (but this is a practise that requires accuracy when doing it). Think about KitKat, you can have it on your phone by selecting one of many wonderful ROMs built by wonderful Xperia SP developers.
I hope you can get some pictures with this post.
ROM = Firmware = Operating System
Flash = Push files into the higher level file system
Hi!
Thanks a lot for taking out time and replying to my query. So you're saying that I should first install Xposed Framework? I don't want any fancy looking theme or design for my SP. I just want a simple layout. My only concern is to improve my battery's life. Nothing else
So should I only install Xposed Framework and then install Amplify? Will this much do?
Thanks a lot once again!
Hi again,
I installed Xpose Framework successfully and Amplify. I even bought Amplify pro version. I don't think my battery life has improved. I guess the battery is discharging faster than it used to. Can you please guide me in helping this problem? Without WiFi, I love 1% charge in 5 minutes that too in flight mode. If I go through the menu for some time, I lose battery.
I successfully rooted, installed Xpose and Amplify. Please help me!
Thanks!

Installing it only without customising won't help! Take your time to learn the app. Additionally, Amplify doesnt drain more battery on my device. Perhaps something else is? Amplify does not do anything if you haven't modify anything, plus, even if it runs, it uses the system process, which extremely cut-down battery sucking that normally happen with solo processes.
Hey,
Thanks a lot for replying! How do I know which services/alarm to stop in Amplify?
I read few queries in some forums regarding the battery problem and most of the people suggested to upgrade the kernel or something of that sort. Can you please let me know if I should tune my kernel to improve my battery's life and if yes, how should I go about it?
Thanks!

You don't "stop" them but you "limit" them. The two terms are very different. I am using a different ROM so I cannot suggest a common things for my ROM, but these are standard among devices as they are included with play services:
Wakelocks
NlpWakeLock
SyncLoopWakeLock
NlpCollectorWakeLock
Alarms
com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR
com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_ACTIVITY_DETECTION
Services
This feature is new, and there's currently no known safe services to be limited with Amplify

Sorry since you're using stock ROM, kernel modifications are way too limited.
Hello again,
Thank you so much once again for replying. Ok, I get it.
So if I change my stock ROM to some other ROM, will I be able to modify the kernel then? Can you tell me if I should change my ROM..if yes, then can you suggest me how I do it?
You're awesome! God bless you
Ok, this is really annoying. My battery is creating problem for me. I fully charged my phone, and it's been almost 5 hours and I have lost 5% charge that too in flight mode with almost all the services turned off. The display was turned on for 10 minutes only. That's it. Can you please help me in solving this problem?
I have read almost everywhere where people keep their phones in flight mode and they don't even lose 1% after 8-10 hours.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks However, this is not an easy process. You should know too that risk of your phone being damaged is quite moderate when performing these tasks. I can't tell you if you should, as it should be completely based on your requirements only. Decide for yourself and try the ROMs for yourself. I may guide you, but this will give you plenty of new questions. And since you are new to android, there are many things that are unknown to you. But these things are well documented / answered if you use the search feature of the forum and Google. Only ask for something that is unique enough.

Sorry, I can't help about this bug in stock ROM. Another person faces this problem as well but unfortunately there are no fix. Alternatively, you can save your battery by changing network mode to GSM only.
Hi,
Thank you so much for replying. I am willing to take the risk. Can you tell me how I should begin upgrading my ROM? I will use the forum in case I face any problem. I just need some one to guide me.
My cell stays in flight mode and I don't even use it. I lose 1% every hour even if my phone enters into deep sleep with only 1% awake time. What is wrong?
I might take my phone to the Sony service centre for a check up. Can you please tell me how do I unroot my phone? I used Towelroot to root my phone and then installed Xposed Framework. How do I make it go back to the original state?
Thanks!

To uninstall Xposed, open the Xposed Installer, select "Framework" and then hit the "Uninstall" button. What root application did you installed? Is it SuperSU? If so, you can easily unroot it by searching through its settings.. I am sorry I can't pinpoint to the exact location.
Battery Drain...
The battery drain your getting is probably due to alarm service/google play services/android os. I have the same issue, stock .205 clean and rooted, whenever the alarm is on I get horrible battery drain what makes it worse is that the android os uses excess mobile data which causes the battery drain. I think the alarm has something to do with google play services. There is no problem when the alarm is off, but I need it so cannot turn it off.
It is a very annoying issue that I haven't been able to fix, these running services prevent the device from going into deep sleep hence the battery drain, I typically lose between 23%-30% over night at a rate of ~3% per hour. :crying:
This probably doesn't help your situation but at least your not the only one.
Thanks a lot for replying. Thank you Shin; but my Xperia SP enters into deep sleep mode 99%.
I'm extremely irritated now! I changed my phone and got a new one but still there is battery drain. I rooted it, installed Xposed Framework, installed Greenify (Donation), disabled almost all the useless services yet I lose almost 2% charge every hour that too in flight mode without even touching my phone!
What is wrong with Xperia SP? Can anyone please help me in solving this problem? Please?

Bro, there is nothing wrong with the phone, as I said above it is to do with the software, from my experience the stock based eXistenZ ROM does not have battery drain but still has **** RAM, you might want to give it a try.
Hi,
Thanks for replying! Can you please tell me how do I install it? I have no idea how to do it. What about the RAM problem? Will it slow down my phone?

Here is the thread. Installing is easy, use the locked bootloader version, instructions are provided. In the instructions it says you should be on the 4.1.2 firmware but being on the latest 4.3 firmware is ok. To put it simply all you need to do is download the ROM, root your device (towel root), install superuser (apk), install cwm recovery via windows, flash ROM. If you need more help get back to me.
As for the RAM, it is still a problem even on eXistenZ, I believe it affects all stock ROM/kernel variants. From my experience the device still runs smoothly it is just that there is less free RAM available so the home launcher commonly closes when heavy apps/several apps are opened but it then reopens when returned to.
Here are some links...
Root
Recovery
ROM (link above)
