Solution to high Android System usage on GB ROMS

I've been enjoying the different aosp gingerbread roms from echoside, savage team, and evokings... they each run really well and stand apart from each other.
But one thing that I have been unable to shake is the high percentage of Android System running. Its always upwards of 60% or higher, unless the phone is in airplane mode.
I think I found the culprit in this issue... I turned off backing up to Google services, and wham! No more high Android System usage. It hasn't been a full day yet, but I usually notice it by mid morning.
Just thought I'd throw this out there for you GB fans.

Just wondering, where do you find the option to turn that sync off. It's not in the accounts and sync settings is it?

I'm on UltimateDroid's v3.1.1, which is a GB rom. I've had so high of Dailer usage (60%), that it's drained my phone from 50% to 2% on an extended battery with Tiamat's SBC kernel. I tried clearing data for dailer storage, and nothing. I'm gonna have to look for another rom, because this is ridiculous.

the only time ive seen that option is during the first boot up where it asks for your credentials, is this option anywhere else?

I am using the same ROM and I switched to the savaged zen kernal and my battery life almost doubled.
I also notced that the 4G radio eats up the battery too.

Thanks for the tip. I just turned it off. But it seems to me like with GB AOSP roms, cell standby is what is constantly at the top of battery usage. I've noticed I get 3G drops every once in a while, where it will back down to 1x and then switch back to 3G after a few seconds.

Yep, mine's at 61% for today...

Maybe I should have been more clear. It eats up the battery more than I have noticed on Froyo roms.

Which kernel am I running?

Hey all, quick question hopefully you all can help me out with. I am currently having terrible battery issues ever since I flashed my phone initially. Terrible as in 6 hours stand-by my phone would be dead.
Anyhow, I am just trying to figure out who's (which) kernel I am running. The kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622 . I have done searches but biggest problem is, threads usually do not post the version number for me to check what I am running.
I am on Infused 2.1.0 (thx GTG!), but battery life has been garbage on all ROMs so I am certain that is not the issue. Can anyone let me know, me love you long time.

Problem is I bought 2 extra batteries and get exact same life. When I initially bought the phone I would get a days use surprisingly. After that, I have had nothing but god awful drain. I have had almost a dozen android phones and have never encountered such terrible battery life.
I do not have fetch data enabled/gps/widget updates or anything that would normally keep the processor/data churning while in my pocket. Battery use is usually around 40-80% on display, all other categories being minimal (which seems correct).
I'm banging my head on this one, I appreciate you guys replying to my thread

1% per 3 hours standby is FREAKING AWESOME..!!!!
Maybe u have some stray app in the background that's using CPU/whatever it is that's eating up ur battery.
Some subtle things u cud try since u said display is taking up 40-80% of battery:
1. Turning off screen auto rotation, turning it on when needed
2. Turning off auto brightness, turning it on to auto when needed
Use SetCPU like people above pointed out and this would let u see what processor states ur phone is spending most time in.

It sounds like for some people, Infusion 1.1 really flakes out. No clue why. I don't overclock so I don't run it.
It's either Infusion 1.1 flaked out, or if you continue having problems with other kernels, you have a rogue app.
Kernels rarely make any significant difference in battery life unless they're broken.

Are there any apps I could get that could monitor packets in/out from what I have installed? I have a lot of apps but most are from trusted sources

Running Infusion-GB 1.1 and Infused 2.1.0: I get 1% drain every 3 hours on standby with radio on (reasonable H+ reception) and 1% every 6 hours on flight mode.
It's most likely a defect in your phone or a configuration issue. You really have to be using your phone for at least 4 or 5 hours (screen-on time) over those 6 hours to cut through battery that fast.

when you go to settings > applications > running services - is there anything there that looks like it shouldn't be there?
i know that there is a process that starts with an "o" that is tied into media hub's protected content (DRM) - eats a ton of battery, and isn't really necessary.
it's also possible that you have the SNS service going, but constantly in a restarting state. this seemed to eat a lot of battery also.
otherwise, i'd do what others have suggested and monitor with CPU spy, and i'd also suggest an app called Better Battery Stats (not available in the market - find it here on XDA by a developer named chamonix). this will let you know if you have any wakelocks that are preventing your phone from reaching deep sleep when it is idle.
definitely sounds like you could have a wakelock or 2 interfering with your phone trying to get into those lower frequencies.

wipe battery stats?
Did you try wiping battery stats?

Packets in/out isn't what you want unless you also have unusual data usage too. It's wakelock stats you want - look at the BetterBatteryStats app. It used to be only on XDA but apparently it's on the market now.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Wiping battery stats does NOTHING on our phone. Don't go blindly telling people to do something on our devices just because it worked on another device. The fuel gauge chip on GalaxyS series phones works in a very different way than HTC phones. (Exception: I think the GSII has a more traditional fuel gauge.)

[Q] Battery Life w/ BM ICSv5 and Franco Kernel is GARBAGE!

Please read this before you go crazy on me saying I haven't searched for this because I have. I've updated from every ROM of ICS thats dropped after reading up on them and the fastest and best working everyday ROM for ICS is BrainMaster's ICSv5 with Franco's Kernel 11/25. I haven't tried 11/26 but I've read the colors are much better on 25 and I believe it because its the best my screen has ever looked. SHARP!
So here's my issue. I want this as an everyday user, and I'm sure it can be. I just need to know how to set up the battery so that it lasts longer. I just restarted my phone and cleared all the battery info. Before I unplugged it at 6:30pm EST I had 91%. After very, very minor use (looked up the number for Home Depot and downloaded Amazon Market) I got back home at 9:30 and my battery was at 39%. Thats 60% in 3 hours. Thats terrible. How can I adjust the batter life? Can I use NSTools to do so or do I need to change code? I don't want to change the kernel completely because the colors truly are AMAZING with this version.
Please let me know, and thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Tula

Well, which app or function specifically is causing the drain? Did you look at the battery usage? Were you in an area with poor signal reception?
Before you trash a rom and kernel with a poorly conceived thread, try troubleshooting the problem.

For what it's worth, the only time I've gotten that kind of battery life is when a NFC process decided to start and run nonstop. No idea why it was running (particularly since I don't have Wallet configured), but since then I keep NFC disabled.
When that happened it was similar battery life - lost about 70% in 3 1/2 hours.

I never once trashed the ROM or the kernel? What are you talking about? Before reading into something for more than what it is you should take it for what it is. I don't know what the problem is, everyone else seems to be having a great amount of battery life. I'm asking on here, in this forum, because I figured someone (maybe a programmer who knows these things) can tell me how to "properly" config it. Idk what the deal is with it but I was looking for insight. I love the ROM and the kernel and I do believe I stated in the post that I wanted to keep it as a daily user. SO, either you can help me and teach me how to fix the problem or teach me to give you what info you need or do me a favor and don't waste my time. I'm looking for answers or suggestions. Not accusations and negativity.
"Poorly concieved thread!" Whats "poorly conceived" about it? The fact that I reached out on a FORUM and asked for HELP? Go comment on somebody else with that bullsh*t.

Reread your thread title; calling something "garbage" is not trashing it?
Reread and answer the questions asked in post #2. Nobody can do anything to help if you don't provide basic information or perform rudimentary problem-solving procedure.

Well man what i did with mine was calibrated the battery which means charge the battery completely then boot into recovery wipe battery stats then unplug and reboot then use it for 5 mins then charge fully again then unplug and drain completely till it shuts off on its own then fully charge again and it should be calibrated.. sounds like alot.. i kno lol but trust me it works and then if ur battery life doesnt extend after that (which it should) then i would look at what it is thats using the most matter (menu>settings>battery and go from there.. also make sure u have all the apps that will allow u to move to sd moved there it keeps them from running in the background and also make sure ur screen brightness is set low.. i took my auto brightness off and just turned it down just bright enough to see.. i know the colors looks fly like a bag of skittles when u got the brightness up wit franco kernel but it kills battery lol. hopefully that works for u pimpin and sorry for the novel lol just wanted to give u a few options to try.

JG & Freshie, thank you. And Braneless, you must be Braneless, because if YOU could read you'd see that my title says BATTERY LIFE is garbage. Not the ROM or the Kernel. BATTERY LIFE!

As far as the battery, I followed your instructions JG and also I started from the beginning and deleted all installs and reset to factory. I then installed each ROM from v1 all the way up and now EVERYTHING works and I got almost 2 hours out of my phone today and used 9%! WHOOHOOO!
Thanks again to the read Googlers who want to HELP OUT instead of trying to make people look like idiots.
AWESOME!

I had this problem too, but in my case it was the Google Wallet app. It drained the my battery in like 4 hours. After uninstalling it, all went back to normal.

Now if you said battery life on a rom kernel combo was FANTASTIC.
What would that imply? Thanks guys etc.
You go through all the trouble to make the thread but not spend a couple seconds to check what actually used up the battery.

Omfg this thread title just made lol all over the place haha

If you want to turn off the LED notifications, tap the search button and then the menu button and hit settings. Scroll down and enable search of the system settings. Hit back and then search either LED or notification and the LED notification settings should show up in the results. You can turn off the LED notifications there.

Does your private build have wifi calling working? Or still borked?

personally I love Richie's RG2X - currently at 93% battery, been unplugged for 3 hours... so basically I don't worry about battery.
also smooth like butter and he's super responsive and updates a ton. I need to try Singh's though

[MOD] Eliminate Wakeup Lag - XXLSZ

Hi guys.
Here is a mod I made to eliminate wake up lag on lock screen when pressing home button.
this mod is on the file androidpolicy.jar
my mod includes 4 way reboot and ink effect (WITH PEN ONLY)
download file and flash in recovery.
Thanks to MIKEYXDA for How To.....
Feel Free to use this in your ROMS, but please give credits
this mod is for LSZ!!!
PLEASE READ: This mod adds a wake lock to your phone and could prevent it from going into deep sleep.
I've added the Q and A from MIKEYXDA guide so you can make up your own mind.
please make a backup first!!!

Just to let users know this mod may not put your phone into deep sleep coz what the mod does is create a partial wakelock - that is how it enables zero wake-lag.

I did a lot of research on that and it's not so easy to answer. Generally, I believe battery will be no worse and possibly better. Google location services, alarms, widgets, push mail, and many other processes end up waking up 99% of phones at least once every 3 minutes anyway and the deep-sleep-->awake-->deep sleep cycles actually consume more power than letting the processor(s) stay awake. On my phone for example, Google location services alone woke the phone 20 times/hr (every 3 minutes) and that's with GPS turned off and no navigation or map activities running! Add a weather widget here, a push mail app there, and I found that my phone was bouncing in and out of deep sleep more than a hundred times an hour! Better (on both battery and circuitry) to just idle at that point. With only one CPU awake with screen off, the radio will draw more power than the CPU idling. Most people don't realize that the screen and radio eat orders of magnitude more power than (especially an idling) CPU, so idling one CPU will have little effect on battery. That said, I suppose if you put your phone in airplane mode and maybe froze a bunch of other apps that wake the phone, maybe battery would be worse with the ZeroWakeLag wakelock and the phone would do better in deep sleep. Reality is: we don't use our phones that way.
I guess the only way to test this is to run the mod for a while and see how it goes.
my battery I ****ed anyway and I have to charge twice a day so its not much of an issue for me, but for all you battery hungry folks out there it may cause issues.
would be nice if users could report any differences they see and we can together figure out if it is more of a hindrance than an advantage

deleted...should better read myself

Thanks.

forget it...was for homebutton doubleclick lag...yours is for homebutton lag on lockscreen...sorry

First thing you should know is that I am not a technical person, but a logical man. Following is my personal views. This mod may not put the device in deep sleep at all. In the cpu spy you will find above deep sleep, 200, 500, 800 mhz bars. Normally you may find even the deep sleep shows a good % the other bars 200,500,800 also show varied %s.
So may be this wakeup lag mod control these 200,500,800,1000 mhz to near zero, then overall battery consumption could be very less. Only experiments can answer this.
I shall flash this and see any difference.

haha OK no worries.
Eybee what are your views on the wakelock? think it could affect battery more than what you gain from the mod?

I don't care that small lag, cause I know as long as it is present, my device was in DeepSleep ...someone would have to test it for 1 day or so and check with CPUSpy if DeepSleep is 'normal' or not...

after almost a full day of use I can confim the device is not entering deep sleep.
spending most of its time running at 200
do you think this will have a massive affect on battery life?

Actually I was waiting for your reply.(pls refer my earlier post). Another thing is I have already got 4 way reboot and ink effect. I just wanted wake up lag mod. Any way I shall flash. Already made backup. Let you know after 24-48 hours. Thanks.

The problem with this mod is that it is integrated into android.policy.jar and if users wanted to disable it, they will have to flash the original android.policy.jar of the rom they are using. To achieve the same effect without modifying android.policy.jar, xda member sms200 has made an app that integrates this zero wake up lag in his app and users will be able to test or use it at will. HERE is the app and HERE is the post for more info. Just install it and enable/disable Permanent PWL.

I read through most of that tread and missed that bit lol
What ive done is copy original androidpolicy inside framework as androidpolicy.jar.bk and then copied original so i can revert at anytime. This is included in my rom aswell (both files)
Feel free to use my mod or the app depends what users prefer.
Dsmas - the 4way reboot and ink effect is included because if i didnt and you flashed the mod you would lose both functions.
Ive been testing some sharedpref mods and a remote control app so i might be able to create something to enable/disable in my galactus mod pack (WIP see my rom thread)
