dialer issue - workaround?

---

hello,

its possible that i just found out, how to solve dialer issue at least temporarily!

i just enabled flightmode and later dissabled it.

just then dialer(telefon) dissapeared from the powerusage list! before it was at 98% (of very less from 100% but it was there!)

just did a reboot and still only

mobilphonestandby
display
telefone inactive

in this order!

will update this list later (just now 93% left)

my display is lowest possible and wifi is off bt and data too!


i test with answering to sms but no calls/data except i'll be called! so dialer shuldn't show up!

Sigh.. I will explain this one more time. After this I'll stop.

What you can see in the Battery Usage screen is the amount of percent each application drained from the total % of drained battery.

To draw some lines:
Battery - 95%
Drain - 5%

Apps:
Dialer - 97%
Android System - 2%
X - 1%

This means that Dialer actually consumed 97% of 5% (the amount of battery drained).
You can get an app that tells you how much each is consuming. It's posted in the threads around here (by Mikevhl I think).

i know this fact!

you are allright, that this are relative numbers but less from relative numbers is less from absolute numbers!


or not?


when there were before 5% an hour absolute
then the dialer consumped 98% of 5% so let's say 4%.

then now it should drain 1% an hour.


isn't that right?

In a perfect world, yes. But still it won't happen.

For me:
Dialer: 98%. Leave the phone idle, make 2 phone calls a day, less than total of 20 minutes. In the evening use the wi-fi for 30 mins.
Battery lasts 3 days..

Damn, that means running CyanogenMod would massively improve your battery life! I currently am able to use HTC Sense on my Sensation for ~6 hours before the battery is done, and with CyanogenMod it lasts about two days. I guess your phone will be able to last all week!

I do hope it will last me that long.. well I hope for 2-3 days with moderate-high usage.

I have an s-off phone which hasn't been rooted and I found this on the official wakelock issue page which has worked perfectly for me.

- Download the App "Proximity Screen Off" (by Shailesh Soliwal).
- open it(see note below) and select the box for "Enable Device Admin" (give permission)
- "Disable in Landscape" selected
- "Enable during call only" NOT selected
- Both "Cover..." boxes are NOT selected
- "Disable Accidental Lock MUST be selected
- For "Timeout", we have 1 second.
- Press the "back" button on the phone
- Chose "Start Service"

after a while of using it however i have noticed dialer isnt an issue anymore however the app itself is now using power haha

Check your total uptime please. Perform this test (after a full charge):
- Network mode: GSM Only
- Maximum 30m of calls/day
- Maximum 15 SMS messages
- Wi-Fi for 30m-1h a day.

- No games.

If you get to 3-4d then there is some improvement.
