Q: Do you have this problem even without any apps installed?
Q: How is your carrier signal?
@TheSoleBulge, I can't say about the problem without any apps. First thing I did after flashing my latest custom kernel/rom combo was reinstalling my apps, but I assure you that it was not via backup. I did it one by one, manually. My carrier signal here is from good to great.
One new thing I tried today that apparently suggests what could be the kind of misbehavior causing this 3g/battery problem was to turn off all background data. So far the battery is just draining faster than when it's on wifi. No crazy drops. Since I don't allow any auto-sync, maybe some app is messing up with the battery stats when I'm on 3g. And again about the whole thing: it's not just draining faster. It's causing crazy massive drops, from let's say 70 to 50 to 29 to zero and, before the shut down, from zero to 40 again. And all this in a couple of minutes! Then I turn on my phone right after that and it's showing 35% of battery, for example. This has been my smartphone life since it started. Restricting background data has preventing it from happening, but it is a drastic decision and still not clarify what is exactly going on. After all, a lot of people use background data without facing this particular issue of mine.
I also downloaded some related apps (BBS and WakeLock detector) and saved some prints here. I can't read the technical info, but maybe some one here could, so I'll try to post it as soon as I can.
Thank you for your time, Solge.
@Djgenes
Here we go again, i dont call you a noob that are you words
well i check that thread of
@AndroidNoob69 but i dont saw the post what you posting here now !
so you didn`t even check...
and yah no one asnwered it and like i said you dont post a reply there !!!!
ok well you did what he said "A clean installation"
that means you flashed the 1.100 JB for Xperia P and root it and installed cwm and flashed my rom ? I hope..
yes i dont tell you to unlock you bootloader, you did it by your own so please dont blaim it on me, YOU DID IT, simple.
yes i am kind to you but if you did all that with you battery then you battery is broken in my eyes, so you need a new battery or there is something wrong with your XP, you told you didn`t play with the governors yet, well it told to do that and not telling a whole story like this now...
about the wakelocks: No one knows it what causing it and i dont have that foolish wakelocks
i hope i helped you with this
p.s.
try to flash stock JB kernel and see if that works and i thought tis thread was about your 3g problem and not the battery !
@Pandemic,
I didn't post on this
@AndroidNoob69 thread. I've posted on the " [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly." thread.
And again (quoting myself):
"I ended up reseting the phone back to the original rom/settings via SEUS. Is this somehow equivalent to a clean install? 'Cause if it is, the clean install you' ve suggested me maybe will not work. I'm facing the same 3g/massive battery drops issue."
So my timeline is as it goes:
1 - I was on stock ROM (since I bought the phone),
2 - one year later I rooted my phone (but kept the bootloader locked) and installed Honami MW HD V6 (keeping stock kernel),
3 - then last week I did a factory reset via SEUS (when it flashed the 1.100 JB),
4 - then rooted again, unlocked the bootloader and did the so called clean installation flashing Honami MW 8 (this time for unlocked bootloader, of course, cause I wanted to flash Nemesis kernel).
My "battery not handling 3g connection" problem starded right before number 2 (while on original/stock settings; I thought rooting, resetting and flashing whichever custom rom on my phone it would solve my problem).
And about the "you did/you didn't tell to unlock...": man, I think we are lost in translation here. Are you a native north-american? Cause I'm not, but I'm trying my best to communicate properly in English. Why are you defending yourself from charges and accusations with things like "you did it by your own so please dont blaime it on me, YOU DID IT". Chill out, dude! I'm just trying to make you comprehend that I followed your instructions. I did nothing wrong, so stop telling me to do it all over again. I can read. YOu give installation process for both locked and unlocked bootloader on the 2nd post of you ROM. I just said I did exactly what you told for, in my case (dã), unlocked bootloaders. Did you somehow think that I said that my battery/3g handling problem was because of your ROM and/or installation proccess? How could you? I did no say that. I have this problem regardless of your work, pal, which btw is an amazing one. My phone now is as fast as my friends S GS4 thanks to your rom and the whole thing is that this android issue is happening with a phone that happens to have your work inside, that's all. It was happening before with stock kernel/rom, it is still happening now after clean install, custom kernel/rom. If you came here thinking that I was pointing some Honami bug, you clearly got it all wrong.
Moving on. You think my battery is broken. I quote myself again:
"
Being offline my battery last forever. Connected through wifi it lasts just a little less. When on 3g, from fully charged to "shutting down device", it lasts 10 to 20 minutes, maximum.
"
I don't see how my battery can be broken if it performs normally with wifi. A broken battery would behave like this on any conditions, imo, but correct me if I'm wrong.
About flashing again the Stock JB Kernel without any new procedure...well, I think I'll pass it. I just did that right before flashing nemesis and Honami. How would it help solve the problem now?
Finally: this thread is not about a 3g problem nor a battery problem. From my noob perspective, It is about an Android specific problem happening within my phone making it not being able to legitimately "understand" the battery, causing it to drop dead over and over ONLY while on 3g connection. I am here to figure out what is causing it.
