Froyo/Sense Low Battery Life Investigation : android.process.acore task - Desire Android Development

Hello everybody !
A few people seem to complain about low battery life with Froyo/Sense roms. As I may have a little clue about the origin of the problem, I felt like opening a new topic.
Seems like the task android.process.acore is stuck at 100% CPU for some of us.
Rom Used : LeeDroid v1.8, with latest radio

Any idea about the origin of this problem ?
Thanks for your help

is it a cpu percentage in a last column?
so there are 100%+6%+7% at the same moment?

a google search brings this thread up
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/19040-android-process-acore.html
check your contacts sync - is it constantly syncing?

Doesn't look like. Disabled contact syncing and it doesn't change anything

That figure does not mean 100% CPU taken up with that process, it means 100% of the 19%. Your cpu is not running at 100%.

You have LauncherPro doing something weird there?

try going into testing mode ie dial *#*#4636#*#*
select battery history
change top line to cpu usage,
I have the following
android system total time 5secs
android.process.acore total time 4secs
htc sense 2secs
etc

or download spare parts from market

The screenshot is from my phone.
It is running LeeDroid 1.7a with Launcher Pro Plus v0.7.4.0.
They stay at 100% when the CPU load is not 100%.
They both have the package: com.fede.launcher.
So is LauncherPro doing something wrong or not?

kill launcher pro and see what happens. Its not a rom issue - i do not use launcher pro and have no issues.

i have also this 2 at 100%, what are anyway?
yes they're com.fede.launcher.

I just restarted LauncherPro from its own menu and this made it go back to 0.

Same for me, cpu load went back to 0 when I killed LauncherPro.
I'm gonna play with the rom a little now to see how battery goes.

What kind of program do you use for see process work??
Is System quick info?
Thanks soo much

Android System Info

I have exactly the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S (Firmware I9000XWJM2, Root, ext4 Speedfix)
I also use Android System Info and my screen shot would exactly look like the screen shots posted above.
I noticed a somehow slow behaviour of the device, this started a few days ago. Restarting Launcher Pro doesn't really help. After 5 minutes the two Launcher Pro tasks are back with 100% cpu load. The overall cpu load ist between 20 and 30%.

I have 2 at 100% also but load is between 7 & 27%

Rename Thread
Can some admin please rename this thread.
I don't believe it's a froyo/sense issue because i'm using
a Samsung ROM on my Galaxy S (eclair, TouchWIZ), it's not a custom rom.
Does anybody have a solution for this problem?? It started a few days ago.

Update:
-Fixed some bugs.
I've tried purchasing the Full version of your app from the Play Store via carrier billing , on multiple ROMs, and the processing keeps on failing. I've successfully bought other apps recently via carrier billing, so it seems to be some problem specifically with this app. I'm on AT&T, with an HTC One X. Any suggestions?

The interface is great, very concise and intuitive! A great app to fuel my performance addiction.
It needs static reference numbers. As far as I know, when I switched over to the network I/O page it said my disk usage was 3/4 max.

Sorry man, what do you mean with "it needs static.. " ? Didn't really get it.
Very nice and polite!
I think it'd be useful also to have the battery usage, so you can see everything with only one app.
When it will complete, I'll buy the full version!
Keep up the good work!

thanks for this excellent app, I try to buy in this days.
Very nice and useful! Really wanna see how widget and notification works on ICS :silly: :good:
Interesting. Sadly it's only in real time, and so you can't use it to test out too much, it's basically just the opportunity to watch your system idling. Probably better as a daydream,
Great application
this app is seen also as part of franco's kernel updater app, correct?
Correct!

Poor battery life on cyanogenmod 11

Hi,
I have a nexus 5 running cyanogenmod 11 ,and for a while now I have been experiencing
some very poor battery life performance.
yesterday it went from 50% to 1% at night because of com.android.systemui and android system.
I tried installing different nightlies versions but the battery was still unstable and drained completely. :/
So today I re-installed everything and did a complete factory reset and cache partition format installing nightly 20140731 and Gapps, hoping that would help.
I charged my phone to 100% ,and then unplugged it and let Gsam battery monitor run in background with no apps working ,almost everything greenified, with WiFi off,location off and sync on.
Google now is off, brightness on low settings (no auto brightness),good data signal strength and very low usage (mostly checking whatsapp, couple of minutes of gaming, checking some stuff on chrome, but most of the time I didn't even touch the phone).
Normally this kind of usage should not make my nexus run under 90%-95%. this time it dropped to 20% ,in 4 hours...
I followed the battery troubleshooting sticky thread , and did everything I could to make the battery last.
I've uploaded the pictures of my battery usage in a rar (it doesn't let me upload all 5 pictures,so rar it is...) and I'm really hoping someone could help me solve this..
I don't want to go back to stock android, but this battery drain is intolerable.
If you need more information please ask..

It hardly tells us anything until you tap on something that has somewhat high usage/what type of wakelock is keeping your device awake. In your case it would be "System..." and "Combined App Wakelocks", you tap on those.

Well ,then I'll update the screenshots after the battery is drained again ...
Considering it's a nightly, it could just be bugs. I've never actually tried nightlies because I like stability, but I suppose it is possible that there's wakelocks bugs.

I just mean in general a nightly might be unstable. Not saying you should switch to a stable CM. Just saying some bugs are expected. But regardless, I agree with the previous posters. You should click on the individual apps in that list to get more information.

[Q] Liquidsmooth Question

I have less than 10 post so I have to make a separate thread here.... Anyway I have been alternating between Liquidsmooth and debloated stock. Compared to stock I have noticed very high battery drain, even when the phone is not doing anything! I have tried disabling unnecessary services, but drain still seems high, is there anything I can do about this?
Also thanks for putting the rom together Rav3nt3ch, aside from the battery trouble it's a great rom!
I have noticed that the battery saver and turning on the phone while plugged in both seem to cause problems with going into deep sleep mode in liquid. Without the battery saver active and rebooting with the phone unplugged i think i get better or at least comparable life to stock.

Lowering the CPU to 1.5ghz and GPU to 300mhz will help on battery as well...I also use optimax gov and sio or zen for io scheduler..

Having a look at the battery usage today, google services used 25% com.android.systemui used 24% and screen used 19%. I'm going to try updating the google apps and see if that helps, because 25% is excessive!

and if you're wondering I used the device or not the whole day, I played dumb ways to die 2, I took pics with flashes, chat with my girlfriend as it was Sunday and talked with my friends as well.
whatsapp and took calls.
cm11 and mighty rom are not getting camera fixed, plus out there ram is not the default 768mb. its less.

Can u upload u r modified Rom if it really last 20 hours and still had about 70% battery than my phone is no where near on continues use of 4 hours on 2g for normal browsing and texting and somewhat download (My phone is very old purchased in a week after launch so battery is still that great) . I usually use stock Rom as it does not have bugs than I found on most of the custom Rom did u changed ui or still it is same. I just want it. Can u give list of modifications u made in whole Rom and please do upload it.

There is no modifications in UI, although I can but then there could be issues and I work alone, although I have changed boot animation, used kitchen to deodexed rom and zipaligned all apps after removing the bloatwares and added few other apps into system. Although you all can do this, if you have been studying on xda, there are pretty good guides here. I have experimented a lot to get this result on my device. trying almost every setting possible. I will try put up and share with you all as well.
My upload speed is pretty bad and it could take few days to upload and I will also need time to put all the modifications and apps into a complete rom zip file for you all to flash (after testing of course cause sometimes I get mixed results with my device as I still keep on experimenting ) . will see how soon can do it and how nicely.
the reason it is stable is because I didn't touch systems file directly. so there are no bugs.

Nope, actually I'm a newbie in terms of rooting.
After I root my device I'm currently observing it. Came across to this thread and share my situation as well, even my battery I'm keeping an eye for it. Had one problem where as before I go to sleep, the only app working while my phone is lock is my alarm clock, I set on smart plan and while sleeping my wifi is still on. Form 1:30am to 7:30am my battery starts in 66% and when I woke up its in 53%..
Having 800mb-900mb running in Android os usage Is alarming? Pls enlighten me. I think I messed up my phone because I rooted it..

Hi, as i am also a newbie, i am not sure i am able to help much. but I think it could be a rogue app that is causing the large battery drain on your phone.
after playing around for awhile, i discovered the issue for my phone lagging, which is caused by the notification app (Floatify). i have stopped the app and my phone is back to being speedy and fast. perhaps you can try to disable or stop some apps to see if it helps.
Where can I see this? Is this the one that you ask? Kindly see the attached link. http://imgur.com/1xzDWUS
