Battery Killer: Filesys.exe 100% Load

[ivanmmj]

It seems that my phone will sometimes randomly start running out of battery really fast and memmaid shows that the process filesys.exe is taking up the processor at a 100% load. I know that this is part of how windows mobile accesses its storage systems, but I doubt that it's normal. Anyone else having the same problem?


All red items have been uninstalled to see if they were the cause.

I'm running:
Touch-IT full ROM
Battery Status beta 1.04
Default Company Picture Viewer
S2U2 0.5
PocketCM Contacts 0.15
ClearTemp
OP3 ShortCode
FlashVideoBundle
Picsel Browser (Which BTW since installing has made my free space significantly shrink...)
vTap
TRE (reg editor)
memmaid demo
PocketTweak
Pocket Notepad
tGetFile.dll
PocketWeather
HTC Home
Total Commander
psShutXP
Mobile Office


hmm... That list suddently feels a lot longer than it did before. lol
But nothing is running in the background with the exception of ActiveSync.
Thanks guys

Update: Here's a list of what modules filesys.exe has loaded according to Memmaid:
Threads: 24
encfilt.dll
coredll.dll.0409.MUI
ole32.dll
sqlcese30.sys.dll
MSASN1.dll
crypt32.dll
rsaenh.dll
discache.dll
LSFILTER.dll
fsreplxfilt.dll
cachefilt.dll
fatsd.dll
cecompr.dll
HtcFsdspy.dll
imgfs.dll
mspart.dll
trueFFS.dll
Fsdmgr.dll
certmod.dll
coredll.dll

Update: It seems that the two coredll's are taking the most resources, but I can't test this out as I don't have any software that can break it down for me, except for abctaskman or whatever it's called and that's only a demo so it won't show me which module is using what other than the other of their CPU usage.


UPDATE: I thought that maybe it was a similar issue to this (http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/106009-x50v-wm5-filesys-exe-uses-95-cpu.html?highlight=filesys.exe), but that it was running the compaction on my memory card since I had set the volatile temp to run from that... but that hit a wall as well when I made it run on the main memory again.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I also have the Extended ROM enabled as well.


MODS, can we please move this to one of the general forums? I'm not sure which one would be best, though....

OK, so far I've found out that it's a problem not only with this ROM but with WM5 on other devices.

Here (http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/106009-x50v-wm5-filesys-exe-uses-95-cpu.html) is a patch for another device and OS. What I'm trying to figure out is what exactly he patched so we can do the same to our file for our phones.

HI !

I run the German Touch-IT Rom with S2U2 and have the same Problems. Here is what i found out:


- Battery drains in 3-4 Hours IF mortplayer has been started. I usually use Mortplayer to wake me up in the morning. My Music is stored on the SD Card, but this has always been this way.

- I have problems with the batteriy since S2U2 was installed.

-> Maybe Su2u does not suspend our Herald, so that the SD-Card is not suspended, too. Maybe filesys.exe (and with this mortplayer and also HTC Home) randomly ask if the card is still available - Which consumes a lot of power.

...

What do you think ?

I will delete S2U2 when i don´t need the wakeup function this weekend :)

[ivanmmj]

Hmm... It started around the same time that I added S2U2... I'll try to remove it and see what happens.

I temporarily disabled S2U2 but no change.



Updated with more info.

[ivanmmj]

I hate to bump my own thread, but it seems that updating the thread doesn't bring it up any higher. I wonder if anyone else was having the same exact issue?

I'm determined to solve this problem, as it brings my battery life to a sad 6 hours if the EDGE is on, about 9 hours when it's not. And that's with me underclocking it half the time... and the screen brightness down... and with the phone in "hybernate" or whatever you call the screen being off most of the day...

[kraftey]

S2U2 actually did dramatically decrease my battery life... Uninstalling fixed it. Just thought I'd say that; I don't know anything about your other issues, sorry.

I have the same problem too on a mda vario (wizard) with wm6 rom(Dutch version) more info about the rom: 350255

I have been searching around for a solution. But I could not find one.

Here is my list of the modules filesys.exe has loaded according to Memmaid:
Threads: 17
encfilt.dll
coredll.dll.0409.MUI
ole32.dll

Does anyone have found a solution for this problem?

[papamopps]

whixh general??

there is "development and hacking" or "modifying and upgrading" i´m also NOT sure

[diabolical28]

S2U2 has also caused a battery drain on my wing as well. As i am sure it is the #1 reason my wing will crash (lock up) then when i reboot the wing it freezez permently on the password screen. i have tried numberious soft resets. with and without the microsd in... eventually i have to hard reset!

all applications that is running on your homescreen is consuming battery, because its constantly loaded in memory.
If you want a battery that last long, you need to remove sd-card, htc home, cube, touchflo, point-ui or w/e you use to make your device look cool.

you can put it this way, the more stuff you have, the more cool stuf you have, the faster is your battery draining. Ofcourse you can run BS and set up your device with tweaks and w/e, but in the end it all comes to what you want, lasting battery or a "cool" looking device.

In my personal rom, I use htc home, I like it. I use actionscreen and random acces. I have BS to configure battery usage, I deleted EVERYTHING that I dont use in the rom, and yes, it last way longer then fully or moderate loaded roms, but im sure if I kept only basic os, i could prolong battery with a day or two, but I dont need that. I have a device that is compatible to run so many cool things, and I have it because of the many features.

If you can figure out what you want to use in a daily basis, and you can manage to stay away from the heavy eyecandy-stuff (wich you keep to impress your friends) then you can have a longer batterylife :)

3-4 days!? is that with no data usage, no talking, pretty much letting ur phone just sit on the table? because the ABSOLUTE most i can get is 1 1/2 days. That sounds a lil too extreme...

[slimag]

did someones try filesys patcher from aximsite?

i'm using gprs over bt always on, a2dp (3-4hours daily), ~50 sms, opera mini and mobilegadu (im) and after 20hours i still got ~40% on this battery and this unit. i had another herald earlier and it was not possible to have 12hours without charging...

and btw - ive got s2u2 running all time and after it is cooked into rom its not using so much energy..

but a2dp draining more battery than on other devices (wizard, universal...)

I used to have O2 Neo as my device, and when I tried to install "some apps from HTC rom", I notice a warning about battery drain bug of HTC Camera from some mods and admins in another forum.

Now I owned a HTC P4350 and have HTC Camera as defaul camera app on ROM. My battery always drains above 100mA or even 300mA :confused:. Do you think that it's caused by the HTC Camera appplication ? any idea how to remove it from ROM ????

Hello

Here the same. After I uninstalled S2U2 the battery was longer full.

I seem to also have a problem with S2U2 on the LGKS20. Its a pity because its not just eye candy - its the only app I ever found that prevents accidental answer etc.. I also had massive battery drain with SPB mobile shell. bummer :(
