Using my Alpine with Windows Vista and WMDC beta 3. Transfer rate is dropped down to 30Kb/sec!!! Why and how to fix this issue?
I thinks the problem is in WMDC, because it is still in beta stage, once it gets fina it will work better. I had issues with it too, it syncs one time, and the next time it does not recognize my device, I had to remove it and reinstall it again.
EXTREMELY slow transfer rates.
I tried to copy 1gb of mp3's via usb in WNDC beta3 and it estimated 5.5 hours. after 10 mins it was like 5 hours remaining.
something is terrible wrong here.
its like living in the stone age.
After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

cos dds sucks battery.... yoshi"s awesome..!! fr battery!!
if you applied a theme in theme chooser it could have affected it
Okay, I am using Dark Knight 5 (V5) since yesterday afternoon. I put the phone on the charger and took it of 5 hours later. I checked my battery usage 20 minutes later and noticed that "Gallery" was using a LOT of battery... 50% in 20 minutes and haven't used the phone since uncharged. Then I checked my data usage..WTF..700MB in 5 hours! As my plan is 1.5 GB and used already 400MB yesterday, this could have cost me a **** load.
Immediately switched over to WiFi, but how could this happen? Why would my phone, and it seems like "Gallery" specifically, download continuously, for no reason?

your picasa web album sync must be on.. so your gallery would be syncing all your pics in picasa web album to your phone..
It is on, but I always had it on and never noticed such an increase in data usage. I have got about 10 folders, 40 photos each. With syncing the phone shouldn't actually download each photo, it should start when I click on a folder

Well this is the only thing that I can think of for gallery data usage.. you can check by turning of data and wifi whether your pics have been downloaded or not..
Switched both off and checked folders in Gallery, still had to download them. Prob some kind of bug of Dark Knight 5
Hi All,
I have a strange problem with my Australian Note 5. I have to run an FTP client (AndFTP in this case) each night to download about 1.3GB worth of files to my phone so what I normally do is to start the transfer just before I sleep and then lock the phone and sleep. Files would have completed downloading successfully by morning. This was how it was with my Note 4 but with my Note 5, the file transfer fails midway around 43% mark with a broken pipe error. I initially thought that this was caused by the aggressive memory management issue with the Note 5, so I borrowed a Sony Xperia Z5 from work and tried the same thing...identical wifi, same settings same ftp server...and the EXACT same error occurred and my FTP transfer failed midway around the 42% mark this time.
I then thought it must be my WiFi/ADSL 2+ connection; so the following night I reverted back to my Note 4 to do the transfer and....IT WORKED FINE!!! I am now beginning to think that it may have something to do with a new feature in Android 5.1.1 but then my Note 4 is also running Android 5.1.1. I have tried using different FTP clients but none make any difference...always fail around 40% to 50% mark.
Has anyone else seen this behavior before?

Hello and sorry if this question has been asked before. Couldn't find one that matches.
The thing is last night, around 00:00 am I went to bed and my phone was fully charged (probably not full but 90% at least, I'd left it charging the entire evening up to 23:00 pm). Then at around 5:00 am I woke up and noticed the phone had less than 15% battery left and, what worries me, a Filesystem almost full notification.
I charged the phone until 8:00 am and the battery behavior has been normal for the entire day. However the storage full notification is still there (tried rebooting but couldn't get it to go). The thing is I don't have that many apps installed and I don't download many things into the phone. Only WhatsApp's videos and images. That was the first place I looked into, but its Media folder was less than 200 MB, which shouldn't hog the entire internal storage (5.5 GB reported by Android).
Perhaps (probably actually), I'm being too paranoid, but I think something of great size may have been downloaded last night which drained the battery. Is there any easy way to list the folders by size? I've tried dozen of apps that claim to do this, but always summing the sizes of the folders was way less than the filesystem capacity. I tried to do it mounting the device in my Debian machine but couldn't manage to do it at the time, but with some assist, I think that last way could be the way to go.
- Has anyone experienced the combination of battery drain + full storage without any other notification?
- Can someone help me in tracking internal storage usage?
My Moto G (2014) is unrooted and running official Marshmallow from Motorola.
In any case, thank you for your time if you've read until here.
Cheers,
I still haven't figured out why the battery drain. The storage problem was Messenger App (stupid Facebook). It was using 1.9 GB. Android (stupid Google LOL) was reporting 70MB (didn't have any photos or videos, as Messenger for this just sucks). Don't know why it the storage demands increased abruptly, but anyway, the symptoms seem over.
Anyway I'm starting using DISA for Facebook messaging service. I think Facebook Apps are a complete piece of utter and unoptimized crap, and noticed just yesterday of project DISA.
