Y u no sleep? help me, thanks.

[missgothika]

Hello, i'm currently with quarx CM10 last build (2 nov). First time i installed it i noticed it help A LOT with battery consumption.. from 12 midnight till 10 am from the other day it went from 99 to 97... that is.. like a miracle. then i did something stupid.. i used "battery calibrator" and it ruined it. Today it wen from 12 to 10 am in the morning with 99 to 60 then 49 (typical battery jump)...

I repeat, it's in the night, were wifi is off, refresh is off and nothing (that's what i'm planning to discover) is running or updating.

I attach some screens.

1) first install of the new rom. you can see it sleeps like a baby.... plain.
2).. goes down.. and down... even though i'm not using it.

any comments, help or suggestions? thanks in advanced!

Make your phone recalibrate the battery. Follow the following steps:
1 Use the phone till you have 10% or less battery left.
2 Wipe battery stats from 2ndinit recovery.
3 Boot into CM10.
4 Charge your battery to 100%.
Doing this will make the phone generate a new battery stats file and should solve your problems.

i'll try that. but already done it when installed the last build for the second time. i do wipe cache / dalvik / batt stats then flash ROM and all over again with the wipes.

If you've uninstalled your battery calibrator app or if you've not used it after the wipe, then you shouldn't have any abnormal battery drain...
If wiping battery stats doesn't work, then most people recommend reflashing the ROM, but you've already done that, so you shouldn't have the battery drain now.
Just put your phone to sleep for a few hours, and let's see what happens after doing that.

This is what i did after seeing the sudden drop the other night:

- let it drain normal till the day finishes (at midnight, that's when i did the following)
- charged the battery to 100% and turn off phone.
- pull battery., connect charger to wall and recovery.
- install ROM without battery on. Wipe cache, dalvik, stats batt, install rom, wipe cache, dalvik and statts (again)
- boot into cm10, turn off screen and went to sleep.
- THIS morning, i saw it drained me up to 60 all night.
...

so as you can see.. i've already seen that after reflashing nothing has happened.
no, i didn't use again the calibrator.

I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I remember, the battery stats gets generated while CHARGING a drained battery.
That's why you should drain the battery, wipe stats and THEN charge it to 100%. As it charges, the battery sensor detects levels (15, 30, 60 and such I think) and generates the battery stats based on these readings.
Afterwards, based on these stats, it generates a reading of battery drain, as the battery sensor itself senses only certain levels.
So, drain, wipe and THEN charge. Do this and let me know if the problem still persists.

hmmm! never tried that!.. i was just charging it and it's in 90.. so i'll let it drain and tell you later thanks for that suggestion.

Still open to other comments though thanks to everyone who reads this.

Just read and engrave to your memory folks! Battery calibration never ever had a positive effect on the battery life and the battery usage shown in the android in-built "Battery Use"-app... and by the way, the stats are reset every time you unplug your nearly fully charged phone from the cable.

Hey, rather than blaming your battery stats I'd search for a process running all the time. Looks like something is keeping the phone awake.

The battery calibration IS A MYTH, as explained here, so don't waste your time wiping the values in Recovery. If you don't find any hyper-active processes with the following procedure, the drops might be related to a worn battery (I don't know how old your phone/battery is).

Open a terminal console and type:

$ top -n 1|head

(if you don't have Hacker's Keyboard installed and selected as Input Method you might need to copy and paste the line above, off course without the dollar sign).

Look at the processes listed as output and paste them here.

Hola slim , thanks for answering. here's the screen

 

[slimshady76]

You had it coming since you are using Swipe... It's chewing up your CPU, and consequently your battery. Search the site. Off the top of my head I think it was a common issue.

Swype? really?? shoot.. i love it.. even though i don't use it that much. Searched a bit but couldn't find much. Gonna try freezing it and see what happens. thanks.

 

[missgothika]

Finally i managed with your help to accomplish some good sleep! here's the screen. i think it's awesome, never ever seen this.

thank you!!

we'll see if it gets better.

 

[slimshady76]

There's an interesting lesson to be learned here: if no deep sleep can be achieved, don't blame the ROM, and look for a stubborn process which refuses to stop when the kernel tell is to.
