Hello.
Are you on stock rom and have you unlocked your boot loader or rooted your device?
Which Android version are you using?
We can see which app is running in the background and heating your phone but for that we'd need rooted device.
However, boot into safe mode and see if it still heating up quickly.
When power off menu appears, hold restart/power off to boot into safe mode.
It'd give you a good idea about if it's some app or your device.
Alternatively try repairing your phone using Sony Pc companion and see if it fixes it.
Quote me back if you expect a reply.

As I expected, some background app you are using is the actual problem.
Use ES file explorer and see any difference. To be able to pinpoint, you'd need apps like wakelock detector (root) and maybe some battery saving app could tell you which app is draining most of your battery and might be the root cause of it

Well, try updating your app and see if you see any difference. Basically an app can constantly run in background and overload your system memory, thus can drain your battery with heating issues.
Yes, EVEN AN APP can make a big difference.
Try GREENIFY and greenify ES FILE EXPLORER and see if it gets better. (runs better on root but can be used unrooted as well)

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.
Does rooting fixes it?

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.

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.
Cheers,

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.

there's also the possibility the DRM service for the media hub is bugging out (happened to mine earlier)
there was a thread about it a week days ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161949
Note: Some people were reporting issues where getting rid of these services were causing problems with the stock music player and/or other things. read through the post.
I personally haven't had those issues after freezing those two apks with titanium backup (I'm on Infused 1.5.0 and the drm apks are in it for whatever reason)

Personally I didn't disable any of these DRM services. I disabled the media hub though cos I don't use it. I disabled the media scanner too, and replaced Gallery app with QuickPic app.
Dont get rid of the drm. I did and my notifications were not working until i reboot, but happens again after a while..set it back to how it was, and everything was fine

just kill the drm service. settings > applications > running services. dont actually delete the apks. youll start having some things crash on you. hopefully its not something we need after gingerbread.
Try a different kernal ... recommend infusion 1.8 and then UnderVolt the Ghz

Hi All,
Ive been having an issue with my P905. Android system is keeping awake all the time. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
I've tried factory reset. It worked fine for a few days but its not sleeping anymore. I have two profiles set up, not sure if this could be an issue? I dont want to root due to warranty issues. Ive tried installing BetterBatteryStats but without root the guys cannot help.
I've tried reinstalling the official software without wiping but this did not help. All the apps I have installed on the tablet I have installed on my Note 3 as well, other that bloat.
Not sure what to do now. Please help.
Thanks

I had a similar problem, and digging around, found that the NY Times app was using up a huge amount of the battery, even though it was set to only update every 4 hours. I removed it from the Magazine UI page, and while I couldn't uninstall it, I did restore the app to the factory image and deleted its data/cache. That fixed it for me.

This is so hard without being able to root the device.
Backing up, when you say it is kept awake, do you mean that it won't go into Deep Sleep, or the screen is actually staying on?
Assuming it's not a screen timeout issue, the places I looked were in the settings battery section - it shows what procs are using up the battery. I also checked settings for applications under running, looking at who was accumulating CPU, and also the System Panel app, which gives a different view into processes running.
What I would recommend is to charge the tablet up, then right before turning in, restart it (which will reset all the usage counters) and leave it that way overnight. Check first thing in the morning for what has been happening during the time it should have been in Deep Sleep.

Thanks a lot for your help, appreciated. The issue is deep sleep. Last night I charged and just before 100% I switched off and on again. Before restarting I disabled the NY Times app. Ive attached screen shots of the battery now. Hopefully you can see something that I've missed.

I'm not seeing any smoking guns there. If you're not seeing anything suspicious under Running in Apps Management or one of the other performance monitoring apps, you may have to just start uninstalling things and see if you can isolate it that way.
What does the battery chart look like, tap on that green/gray graph and take a screen shot. This reminds me of my LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1. LTE would consume battery like crazy sometimes, particularly when signal strength was marginal.

try the greenify app?
last i remember the developer released a non root version but im not sure if your device is supported.
search playstore for "Greenify" and get the non root version
it hibernates most apps until you run them manually.. you could use this to possibly pin point the app that may be preventing sleep? hibernate all the apps you can and then remove on app from hibernation list and see which app is the culprit... each time removing it from hibernate and then putting it back or rather replacing it with another one so you can accurately see the effect of each app on sleep?

I don't see this running on my P905. Quick web search mainly brings up links listing in in bloatware lists for various models.
I have 2 hours of SOT! Why? I use a a stock 5.0.1, rooted with latest ElementalX. Greenified all apps except of the ones I need notifications from, gps is off, auto brightness and I can't get a decent battery life? Why?
I know people like GSam, but could we get a BBS log please?
I dont have that, but I will install it now. For now, please help me with what I have

I can't do much with what you have. That's why I requested you provide a BBS log.
I can tell you that you need to go into Developer Options and disable NuPlayer (and reboot). That's (one of) the culprits of crazy battery drain in 5.0. I don't use ElementalX, so I can't say if it's default settings are contributing to your problems or not. You may want to roll with stock until this issue is fixed?
I recommend for now turning off NFC and turning location off or setting to GPS only. Working pretty good on CM12.

Hey all,
I'm sure it's been asked to death about battery but I'm going to ask again. I just can't figure it out. I've done all the "tips and tricks" and still keep getting the battery drain. I'm only getting about 7 hours on battery, most of which I'm not even using it. As you'll see in the screenshot "Android System" uses the most, and I just don't know why or what in there is draining it. Any help would be appreciated, and I can give any more information or screenshot needed.
Thanks,
Dan
