Odd ARHD Issue (All 4.1.xx versions) - Requires Removing Battery.

So my brothers and I all experience this on our Sensations since beginning to use ARHD in late November.
Ranging anywhere from once a day to once a week, we will get this issue where our phone goes into a lock state, but will not exit. It doesn't matter what battery level the phone is at. The phone is quite clearly on, but the screen won't wake, no buttons will respond. The only solution is to remove the battery and reboot.
Anyone run into this as well?

Does it seem to happen at a certain time? After opening a certain app?
Does sound odd though.

The only certainty I can say is that it happens when no applications are open and the screen goes into lock mode. It also happens regardless of the launcher being used (I use FX, my brother uses HTC Rosie, the other uses Go).

+1 I have this issue too...I lowered my overclock and it's been working fine since
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G

I assume that is performed through SetCPU? Or Daemon.
In Daemon, there's only four options, Sleep and Wake Max, Sleep and Wake Min - how did you fix yours?

Anyone offer a tip on this?
I don't have SetCPU on my phone (looks like it was replaced?)
Don't want to bork my phone, just wondering how to dial down the overclock slightly to prevent this hard crash.
Thanks

ARHD has Daemon Tools I think, with this you can reduce your overclock.
However my suggestion would be to increase the Maximum sleep CPU speed. [Sleep Max]
I can't remember but I think be default it is at ~440MHz, increase it by around 600MHz and see if that fixes the problem. If so you can reduce it gradually to save battery, stopping if the problem redevelops.

Thankee very much!

I have a similar issue with ARHD 3.6.11, but it happens only if I use the camera app. It may or may not be immediately on taking pictures, but seems to happen only when camera app is in memory. I have not changed any undervolting or overclocking settings.
Any ideas?

If it happens when you press the power button to turn the screen off while you are using the camera app, it is a known problem (of faux's kernel, that comes out of the box for ARHD).
To solve you have to flash Bricked kernel. Or stay on faux and live with that.

Does this particular known issue apply if the screen turns off on its own due to inactivity time? What about if camera app is in background?
Does faux kernal need a camera fix similar to the one for bricked?

Great battery life!!!

After doing every possible combinations of ROMs and kernels and everything else under the son I have found the recipe for longer battery life and awesome performance all you need is the Deep Sleep Battery saver Greenify app and Go Power Master Hibernate all your apps then go to Go Power Master and make Greenify and Deep Sleep battery saver whitlisted apps schedule it the way you want Deep sleep battery saver that is as too what apps to sync so often or whatever and example I am used to running my phone dead four or five times a day I charged my phone once in two days when I used this combination so forget all those setting your processor to all these different speeds and profiles just use this and you will see the difference BIG difference unless your over clocked to 1.5 GHz or something even charging the phone and talking on it your battery barely drops this is one hell of a combination took a looooot of time to figure this or but works like a charm

If you have Deep Sleep problems, that Deep Sleep Battery really helps, but just turn it off (or freeze it) after waking your phone, since it still runs on background while you're using your phones, and consume some RAM, which we don't wanna...
Go Power Master, hmm... That "Optimization" thing just means "Clear Memory" (Background Memory). So if you have Task Managers who have that function, you can ditch GPM with your own Task Manager, less Apps installed
Greenify. The best so far. Cancels-out stupid background apps that persists (much better with the new version, GSF bye-bye! ). I only stay at my unstable 4.0 ROM for this baby (and also Xposed). If Greenify can be incorp'ed with GB firmwares, that would br awesome, which is not possible...
Additional tips:
• Lessen RAM usage (meaning close other running apps, foreground or background), to lessen CPU pressure.
• "Top-Off" your charging time. Do an extra 15-20 minute charge after 100% charging. If "fills up" the mV capacity , for the best full-battery experience
• If your phone can, Underclock/volt. Even less than a hundred mHz. It save some 15-30minute more juice on your phone. Just Overclock if needed, same as Setting the CPU clock to default.
• There are Rooted phones specializes on battery saving by:
*On Multi-Cores: Stop a core(s) to run. Really helps keep the CPU pressure off.
*Kernel Governors: Smartassv2, Hotplug, blah blah blah.. Search it...
• Limit / Lessen the usage of phone while charging. I don't know why, but I think its to, uhmm... prevent the battery pressure from charging-discharging, i guess!?
• Others are pretty basic. Backlights, GPS, Data, WiFi, Bluetooth... Yeah, no need to explain..

+1 good

Is there any xposed module to enable charging led?

I didn't find any post about this so lets go...
I'm used to se a red charging led while the phone is charging <90% and green led when >90%, I know lightflow does this but i want to know if any xposed module can do this.
Thank you in advance mates.

Light flow is a great app....why not just use it? I've never had an issue with it personally, or any undo battery drain.
Anyway....all you have to do is look through the modules available in xposed installer app and see if there's one.

Ok.Thanks for the reply.
But I read here ,
Advantages over other apps that don't use Xposed:
Lower memory usage, no services running in background.
Almost no battery life used, since it doesn't use a Service, the module only turns on the LED and Android handles the rest.

The tradeoff seems to be that Xposed integrates it as "part of the ROM" in a way, which is why it has the lower memory usage and doesn't use a service, whereas an App provides more customization i.e. LED flash on/off durations, show alternating colours for multiple notifications, but it uses a minor wakelock to start it and to end it (wakes the device for a small amount of time ONLY when it changes colours in alternation or starts/stops the LED, does not wake the device in the duration of the LED) rather than letting Android deal with it. In the end it's up to you.
The difference is almost nothing, 1-5% of your entire battery at most unless you leave an LED alternating on the entire night off the charger. :angel:

Lightflow makes the charging battery led fluctuating or pulsating, there's no "always on" option, thats why I don't use it. Thank for your answers mates!

(8hours) Maximum Battery with NoteIII(Exynos) with Dr.Ketan,Pekaka Kernel and SetCPU.

This is the complete guide for the maximum battery even with power usages.
First of all i am really sorry for my bad English
ROM
Dr. Ketan ROM l21 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519897
Applications
TW Launcher frozen with titanium backup both TW Home and TW easy mode.
Using Nova Laucher as my primary laucher.''
Usning SnapLock instead of Built in Lockscreen. (set Built in Locksreen to none from the setting).
Uninstall the useless or bloatware apps like group play, google now, g+ samsung store etc.
Greenify
Added all apps to greenify except WhatsApp, viber and Sayhi.
Setting
All air and motion functions are off.
Power saving mode on for 24 hr.
Brightness auto -5
Kernel
This is the important and main part to save more battery recently i found Pekaka kernel for my Note III. Their are many comments about drain and getting device too HOT.
So i decided to play with kernel setting. And install setcpu setting thats work for me like a charms.
So after flashing the kernel do worry about getting device too HOT even with Playing Heavy Games also i have attached the setting for the SetCpu... Match your setting below and let me know if this setting also work for you.
The first three setting are to cool down the device if the device gets to hot, it will automatically scale the processor down to allow it to cool.
The other four are to save battery while the screen is off. This will lock the CPU between these lower frequencies when the screen is off, using less mv, resulting in less battery usage.
Thanks to Dr.Ketan for such a wonderful ROM
Thanks to Pekaka for the Great Kernel for Lollipop
Thabks to the developer of SetCPU app.
Give it try and let me know by your comments if this setting work with you or not.

I can see it now. According to ur ss, usage all over wifi or 3G?

@satslu Usage over WiFi.
WiFi remain always ON in my device I'm mostly indoor user so never OFF the WiFi even not in Use.

Here. Is New Results according to which you can use Almost 8hours with screen On.
Because this result are estimated from 92% battery not from 100%.

Your screen on time is quite impressive. I was on L21 up until the last few weeks. It was much better than stock TW, but still not what I wanted. I was thinking about switching kernels, but ended up on cm12.1 and couldn't be happier. djmax81 is finishing up a kernel for it that should improve battery, and it is incredibly smooth, even compared to Dr. Ketan's rom.

@mwbuss8 can you post the screens with djmax8 kernel ?"

[Root] The incredible guide to incredible battery [Permissive kernel and Xposed]

The guide to get incredible battery on your S7E!​
A lot of people are having trouble to push the 3600mah battery to the absolute max, so I will here show you how to do so. This will mainly be a link to another post made my @v7, which have made an incredible guide to get a good idle drain. I will mainly explain what works on our S7E and what not, while giving a few other tips. Most of these tips can be found all over the internet, but I just want one thread, where they're all collected, so people can read every tip in one thread. As most guides are general through out all devices, they is what works and what don't on our devices. You're free to share your own tips!
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP. ANYTHING YOU DO ARE NOT MY FAULT NOR ANYONE ELSE BUT YOUR OWN FOR MAKING THIS CHANGES!
Firstly, use a debloated rom.. That do a lot..
As said, @v7 have made this guide here. Remember to thank him!
Greenify:
Get the donation package and greenify everything that runs in the background and you don't need push notifications with. With the Shallow Hibernation, it still runs nice and smoothly when you open them. After that, you enable GCM push for hibernated apps and look, if any of the apps that you need push notifications for, supports GCM push and if they do, hibernate them. You will still get notifications, but remember to check "Do not delete notifications from hibernated apps".
I have almost everything hibernated - Maps, Facebook Messenger etc, when still working smoothly - besides Play Store, as that gives problem with paid app licenses. I also enabled Aggressive Doze. You should whitelist the same as in Powernap, that will be listed below here.
Amplify:
I have everything in mentioned in the thread Amplified without problems. I hadn't touched the services, but they should be save to disable anyways. Network Location service, have given me problems with Android Wear communication before.
Powernap:
Here comes where you need a permissive kernel. The SuperKernel that just came out, is the only one on XDA for now. In Powernap you should whitelist the following
Amplify
Android System
Google Account Manager
Google Play-Services
Google Services Framework
Greenify + Donation package
Apps you need push notifications from (like Facebook Messenger)
Xposed Installer
Your alarm clock
Basically, you should whitelist anything that you want to run in the background while the screen is off.
Better Battery Stats:
Check the app after a sleep, but leave everything on as if you were using the phone (data, bluetooth etc) as this is about lowering power usage on normal use and not seeing how long standby time you can get while everything is turned off. GCM_Reconnect and Heartbeat might be high for Google Play-Services, but for me, limiting them gave late or non push-notifications, but test it yourself (remember to restart after limiting/unlimiting).
All the small things:
Turn off location history
Turn off services you don't need and let Tasker control it. (Turn GPS on when maps open, hibernate and turn maps of when closed etc)
Turn off bluetooth and wifi scan all the time
Get Smart Network from Xposed and set your network to Edge when screen is off and 3g/4g when screen is on.
A dark theme with dark icons can save quite some power
Samsungs own greyscale can be enabled in accesibility and then triple tab on homebutton, when you know you're out for a long day.
UPSM Manager from the Play Store can add apps to the Ultra Power Saving Mode, so you can add apps like Facebook Messenger and suddenly it's way more useable.
Use Tasker to force sync, instead of having it activated. I force sync every 2 hours with Tasker + Synker
I have turned off features that I DO NOT USE. Under Advanced Functions, almost anything + edge screen features.
More connection settings and "always search for devices" - Off
Custom kernel settings:
There are no custom kernel out on XDA yet that supports full Synapse, but the Echoe Team have successfully build one.
I have set both governors to conservative, which actually is impressive smooth, while it should be the most battery saving governor which don't lag (like Powersave).
The I/O schedulers should be set to noop which have quite good battery life, without limiting performance too much. I haven't felt a difference yet.
TCP Congestion is set to Westwood (but I think that is standard anyways).
Everything have been undervolted by 25mV. That is nothing from a battery saving perspective, but well, i'm still testing.
L Speed from @Paget96 (thank him!) here is quite nice too!
I haven't had any lags with these battery saving options yet. Everything not mentioned is just standard.
OOM Killer - Enabled
Cache Reclaiming - Minimum
Kernel Tweaks - Light
Kernel sleepers optimization - On
Battery improvement - on
Wifi sleeper - On
Flag Tuner - On (Some people on S7E have mentioned problems with this.. Lag, reboots and bootloops, but I haven't had any problems).
IO Boost - On
I have power saving mode enabled, with background data enabled and my phone is still butter smooth, Also, check for apps to add in the battery saving menu, as I have enabled some apps I don't use or need notifications from, manually.
I get around 5-6 hours SOT where 3-4 of them are Clash Royale, if not more.... Yeah, I game quite a lot.
I think that was all for now, but I will keep it updated when I get new ideas to push it to the limit.
This is still keeping the phone "smart", as you adjusts it for your needs.. Inb4 all the people saying, why buy a smartphone if you disable every feature.

hmm that would kill performance in tekken and AB2 as those games are heavy on QHD but i try it nonetheless, ty.

There are two kernels on here now.
You could ask for permission to get on the forum where the kernel is or you could simply wait. I knew it would only be a question about days, before there would be kernels on XDA too.

Exactly.
I've gone through a lot of these kinds of tweaks in the past, and generally found having to re-load apps and disable features I like having wasn't worth the small battery life increase I saw.
That said, Everyone uses their device differently though, so what doesn't work for me may work well for others. Remember that before you say I'm spouting nonsense about small battery life increases.

I certainly agree that it depends how you use your phone. But if you only rely on a few apps when display is off, like a few messaging apps, Power Nap can certainly increase your battery life. I have a idle drain around 0.0-0.2% (note, 0.0% is not the same as zero drain.) and I still receive messages, and Tasker turn everything on that I need when I need it (GPS, nfc, sync and so on). So if you just install the apps, yes it decreases functionality a lot, but by tweaking it to exactly match your usage and not limiting what you use, you can certainly get increase battery life without losing features. I use my phone the same way now as uprooted, not limiting anything I use..
Most people have a lot running in the background they don't really need or depend on or that can wait till the screen turns on.
