I am running tweakstock1.4 rom with PBJ kernal. I recently froze the system apk SDM.apk idea being it is blocked by the rom to keep it from down loading OTA updates but it is eating up the battery trying to or looking for the OTA. I went one step further and uninstalled the SDM.apk all together. So far so good ill need a little more time to see if it helps with battery life. But if anyone wants to try it I haven't had any fcs lag or any problems since removing it try at your own risk but I think the coast is clear.
Thanks for the update, please keep us posted.

I too backed it up just in case and uninstalled in TB. No fcs. According to my normal use, I cant tell too much difference. I don't know if I can stop using my phone for long peiods of time to monitor battery drain.

Where would you get a crazy idea like SDM using up excessive battery from?
Anyway, freezing did the trick for me. Confirmed.
From a thread in the tweakstock rom post....at the very least it may be one more unneeded apk
I, too, froze it on nismo's advice. I've noticed no bad effects, and the plus is that I burned a hell of a lot less battery while on airplane mode.
I'll report in here if this keeps up tomorrow. So far so good!

I'm glad it wasn't just me that this could be useful to! Your battery usage was definitely atypical and freezing the rogue process app is much much better than the nuke and pave approach IMO. I like getting to the bottom of things.

sdm.apk is considered as bloat ware. If you're in any doublt, just use root explore and move the sdm.apk from /system/app to any location on your sdcard as a backup. This way for sure it's not in use. I used betterbatterystats to verify it after froze the app and I don't see it any more.

I'm sure it uses another mechanism to make things invisible to the OS. It might just change the permissions. Either way, freezing has always worked for me.

I verified it was not active after freezing SDM 1.0 even before I posted my discovery in the tweakstock thread so I'm well aware. My question was specifically to the OP because he said that it was draining battery even after freezing.

He's a noob, what do you expect?haha just kidding. When titanium froze an app, that app is DEAD unless SDM 1.0 is not sdm.apk. But if it is it's dead. I haven't seen sdm since I froze SDM1.0. Judging just by battery life is not the right way, because battery life can be impacted by other process too, not just SDM. He must use tools like betterbatterystats or something to see the inner process. That's my IMO.
I was about to flash the Eclipse rom and thought I would remove the apk all together just to see if there were any repercussions. If it fouled things up no problem I was going to flash Eclipse anyway. I hadn't read about anybody removing it so I wanted to post my experience for the benefit of others. Apologies for my poor wording of what I was doing I didn't mean to convey that the apk was still sucking battery after it was frozen. Just wanted to say I hadn't had any problems after removing it.
Posted this in another thread but it's more relevant here:

Not sure I would call it "bloat ware". It's a tech support / CS service. It's bloat when it's not needed, great when it is needed.

Right, but wouldn't you need to ODIN stock EP4D before getting any tech support / CS anyway? If that's the case, no need for SDM.

So pretty often when u back out or exit an application back to the home screen all my applcations has disappeared for about 5secs then reappear. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks stock phone too.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
I've seen it happen before on my phone. It was before rooting and before debloating. It hasn't happened lately though.
Sometimes when I'm running many apps in the background or running 1 app that taxes the CPU heavily, I get something similar.
Happens to me with Gmail. I'll back out of an email to go to my inbox, and the phone looks like it's backing out but goes right back to the same message.

Not necessarily. By rooting, you are able to remove/freeze all the crap that Verizon pre-installed onto the phone, which causes a lot of lag, delay, and slowed responsiveness. It wont solve all your problems though.
Also I noticed a pretty big difference when touchwiz was frozen. I don't dislike touchwiz, but due to the fact that it keeps my Charge laggy I'd rather have it removed and use Launcherpro.
Androidfreakz said:

Not exactly, but rooting can get you half-way there.
1) Create a file called local.prop, which contains the following line:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=02) Save the local.prop file in your /data directory (off of root).
This will try to force your Launcher application to stay in memory. It doesn't guarantee that you won't get a screen refresh, but it makes it occur less often.
I attached a ZIPped copy of local.prop below. You will need root access, and a file manager like Root Explorer to enable writing to your /data directory.

Has anyone tried running the V6 Supercharger script on their Charge yet? I tried it on my OG droid (only 256 RAM) and it completely eliminated these annoying redraws. The solution is supposedly compatible with any android device. I haven't had any memory issues yet, so I haven't got around to implementing it.
I ran the supercharger script and changed my settings to "mutiltasking". Everything's works great, but I haven't really had many memory issues since flashing a debloated ROM.

So until about a week ago I had jusy been using the infused rom, and my phone would be unplugged at 6am, and by 2pm still have about 97 percent battery life. I was using setcpu to underclock to 800mhz, and nothing more.
A few days agoil I tried installing go launcher and launcher pro to check em out, and battery life was absolute crap so I uninstalled them, however my battery life is still terrible. Now I have to charge it to 100% every 6 or so hours, even though I reverted back to infused. Can anyone tell me if theres an obvious solution, or help me out? Would a wipe work?

Charge the phone to full (wait for it to say "full battery" in status bar)
Unplug the charger
Turn off the phone
plug the charger back in
wait until the battery icon says 100%
turn the phone back on
charge to full again (the notification will say battery full)
Reboot into clock work mod recovery
navigate to advanced -> wipe battery stats
reboot phone
Also, there's an app for it called battery calibrator I used and it seems good.

So I posted a thread a while back and after rooting my phone, my SIM card kinda fizzled out and died (I suppose). I was getting problems like No SIM card detected/lack of connection. Perhaps it was just a coincidence and I just had a bad SIM card. I switched my SIM card about 3 weeks ago (unrooting my phone first) and so far everyone has been normal. I'm a little wary of rooting now, but my battery life is kinda being killer and I wanted to get TB. It can last an entire day but it's typically down to like 10% at the end.
Also, the other thing is that I'm just wondering about updates, like whatever happened to 2.3.6? I know they took it out, but if I root my phone, I won't be able to update it anymore right? So I was thinking that I should maybe wait another month and see if the fixed update was gonna come out...but is it even important? (And of course, the lovely ICS which will come out.....never lol)
if you cant handle it, dont do it...i dont get why people ask others to decide for them

The sim card thing had to be a coincidence, i cant see how its related. Rooting may or may not give you better battery life depending on your use. Running a slimmer rom with less bloat will help, and some kernel tweaks also help.
As far as updates, people here always grab them and upload them so you arent missing much honestly. UCLA3 was the latest "update" that got pulled again. IMO it is garbage and i still run 2.3.5 but other people love it and have had 0 problems with it.
Root it imo.

One extra bit of advice though. For battery life try an app called juice defender. There is a free and a paid version. If you're rooted you get extra functionality out of thru paid version. It more than doubled my battery life. I don't run it all the time but when i need my battery to last i switch it on. Seriously astounding results.

Not sure what you don't get.
I suggested he root. Then, because he commented on battery life i suggested the app called "juice defender". It controls data connections, wifi, location based wifi enabling/disabling, even cpu speeds if you are rooted. There are a lot of settings available in the paid version but even the free is good running under the default settings. As i said, when i have it running i get double the battery life. I don't run it all the time though because sometimes i just don't have the need for it and control it all manually.
Does that clear it up? Like i said, not sure what you were confused about.

Oh I still am using JD. never considered the paid version though. I figured with TB ultimate's ability to freeze the ware that that would be enough.
To the second post, I'm asking because I just wasn't sure if rooting would cause my SIM card to fizzle (I didn't think it was because of the root, but there could always be a chance...?). And then I didn't want to keep unrooting, grab a new SIM card, root once more, etc. But I'll probably root this weekend what with my last spring break upon me.

Read everything in all of the SkyRocket forums...twice. Then, read it all again. When you are done reading everything for the third time, root your phone. If there is anything you don't understand, use the "search" function. Then read everything a fourth time. After the fourth read (there will be a test) you will need to do several "Google" searches for popular SkyRocket problems. You guessed it, READ EVERYTHING!
After all of this (no cheating) you should be able to select a ROM of your choice and flash away.
Enjoy.

That's not going to tell you if its a virus noob. It could be any number of things causing the slowdown.

Hey thanx to all who responded. I ended up backing up my phone and doing a reset. Lost all my sips but that's no biggie. Went back with sock ICS and all seems to be fine. Once again thanx for helping out a somewhat noob!
So just to see if I understood :
You are using stock but rooted (?)
And your battery last only two hours.
I had the same issue with a ROM. First you have to shut off al your radios, data, gps, wifi, bt... Just to be aware if none of these things that are draining your battery life.
Then you should try to verify your battery charger. There's an sticky here in the forum. And lastly you have to check wakelocks... There's a good discussion about that here also.
I know it's kind of disappointing at the beginning, but when you finally understand all the symptoms of your phone you will solve all the troubles really quick... It's like having a newborn baby, at the beginning you don't know why they cry but when you learn about them you can identify every "kind of cry".

Hi guys,
I'm new to flashing, and so far I've flashed succesfully CM7 and miUI-Revenge. I sticked with the latter, which I enjoy very much, but it drains the battery at an unparalleled speed. In three hours without data, wifi, of gps, the battery goes from 100% to 50%.
Is there a rom you recommend using for better performance? I assume going up from Gingerbread won't help, but I might be wrong. I guess the opposite of the spectrum might be the barebone rom. Are there other roms in between, that you think might represent a good balance?
Thanks!

How poor is it?
Here is the deal it sounds like you had a bad flash or something. Reading your responses in a couple threads leads me to think this. I would use the one click to stock either bhundven or eollie created (eollies give you a cwm without having to flash another file). Then try the ICS and JB variants. CM7 was/is good roms but they are not worked on and could be some hidden bugs that never got fumigated.

In three hours without data, wifi, of gps, the battery goes from 100% to 50%

You've got some issues. Search the site for Better Battery Stats and find out what is causing those wakelocks. A drop that fast could be a lot of things but my first bet would be media scanner going crazy trying to read a corrupt file on your SD card. Post up some screenies of your battery from settings. Also get CPUspy and see if your getting pegged at a higher frequency.
That's pretty bad. It shouldn't be that bad on anything.

I don't know why, but starting yesterday afternoon it seems it's improving. I don't think I've done anything special, but we'll see. Meanwhile I've installed BBS, which is giving me some issues on Miui, but it's starting to show some drains. I'll look it up with more usage and keep you guys posted.

It takes a couple days for the rom to settle in. But yeah I think you're making all the right moves there. :thumbup:

Lol...that's what I thought too, just that it was 8 days...
Unfortunately BBS has issues with Miui, and I keep receiving an error message: "batteryinfo service could not be contacted." I thought I had solved it, but it's still there. I'll try to look up if this can be resolved, but meanwhile if battery stabilize on the actual performance, it would be good as is.

MiUI's a little different than most ROMs. You have to set root permissions from within the settings menu. Then BBS will work. I gave up on MiUI a long time ago so I can't remember exactly where it is. Search the settings and you will find enable root. Click that thing. Reboot. BBS will then tell you all about your wakelocks. Then just research them.

Is it likely that moving from GB up to ICS of JB will deteriorate battery performance, or not?

If you are using an aries rom, it won't...
