:[Disclaimer]:
Use this at your own risk!
:[Extra Disclaimer]:
This alters the way the Epic charges the battery.
Precaution has been taken to not exceed "normal" values, but when dealing with batteries (and their various sources and quality) there is always a chance something could go horribly wrong.
If you are in any way worried about this, then please move on, as this is not for you.
If you bought an extended battery off ebay and are worried your battery might explode, then please move on, as this is not for you.
This should be considered experimental, and only people who wish to experiment should use it.
There may come a time this will be incorporated into more (all?) kernels, but until then, you have been warned!
:[Requirements]:
Built for and tested on EB13 / EC05 EXT4.
:[Description]:
This is a tweak of the values that are used by the Epic to determine when the battery is at it's fully charged state, and when it should begin it's recharge state.
This is built on Bonsai 3.0.1
It includes the following: tun support, cifs support, 1.2GHz Overclock, autogroup scheduling, keyboard fix (thanks mkasick), video mode fix (thanks again mkasick), etc.
Thank you to all the devs who have contributed and I haven't listed (pm me).
I have also implemented nullghost's Idle timer from 2.6.34 thanks to ACS and nullghost.
[update]
I have also implemented the changes from the EC05 kernel, thanks to Rodderik.
And the scaling_available_frequencies sysfs interface thanks again to nullghost.
[update]
Attached source files for those who want them.
:[Features]:
Alters the "fully charged notification" to be more accurate.
Charges the battery to near full capacity.
Allows for less drain before the "recharge" kicks in.
Gives you a better chance at having a full charge when unplugging.
[update]
Provides over charge protection in the form of a max voltage cut-off.
Increased charge rates (mA) in both USB and AC modes.
There is a chance this change could cause fire or explosion!
Understand this is trial and error!
Even tho I've tested this for the past couple days, there is still a chance you will have a problem where I have not!
Especially if you use a charger other than a stock charger (rated at 0.7A)!
!!Again, you have been warned!!
Adjusted calculations for the fuel gauge (battery level percentage).
I have added a few kernel debug messages that can be seen using dmesg.
"OS Monitor" free in the market will allow you to view them (filter tag = [BATT).
:[What this does not do]:
This does not alter any of the following built in protections:
Max total charge time of 5 hours.
Max total recharge time of 2 hours.
Low battery voltage condition of 3400 (used for auto shutdown).
Low battery level condition of 0 (used for auto shutdown).This does not change the charge rate (current coming from the charger).
So no, it wont charge your phone faster (well technically it does, but only during the higher voltages where you would normally be "recharging" on a stock kernel).
:[Recommendations]:
Go download the free app "Battery Monitor Widget". Go into the settings and make sure that "Monitor without widget" is enabled (checked).
The app has a really nice history feature that I find useful, and can be used to help track things with this kernel.
:[Details]:
From the code (original and older values commented out)::
(Some line numbers might be a little off, as I have added some debug messages.)
[Full charge and Recharge adjustments]
Kernel/drivers/power/victory/s5pc110_battery.h: Line 166
Code:
#define BATT_RECHARGE_COUNT [COLOR="Blue"]15[/COLOR]//20
Kernel/drivers/power/victory/s5pc110_battery.h: Lines 170 ~ 173
Code:
#define OVER_CHARGE_COND_VOLTAGE [COLOR="Blue"]4210[/COLOR]// nubecoder
#define FULL_CHARGE_COND_VOLTAGE [COLOR="Blue"]4190[/COLOR]//4170//4000
#define RECHARGE_COND_VOLTAGE [COLOR="Blue"]4150[/COLOR]//4140//4110 // 2010.05.08.
#define RECHARGE_COND_VOLTAGE_BACKUP [COLOR="Blue"]4090[/COLOR]//4110//4000
Kernel/drivers/power/victory/s5pc110_battery.h: Lines 184 ~ 185
Code:
#define CURRENT_OF_FULL_CHG [COLOR="Blue"]60[/COLOR]//90//91 // 2010.05.08.
#define CHG_CURRENT_COUNT [COLOR="Blue"]15[/COLOR]//20
Which means:
When voltage is greater than or equal to 4190(mV) and current is less than or equal to 60(mA), full charge has been achieved.
When voltage is below 4150(mV) or 4090(mV), recharge activates (what determines if "backup" is used a Samsung mystery).
The current and recharge count values are also somewhat of a mystery, I decreased them to have a bit more consistent charge behavior.
[Over charge protection]
Kernel/drivers/power/victory/s5pc110_battery.c: Lines 438 ~ 444 and 458 ~ 464
Code:
if (s3c_bat_info.bat_info.batt_vol >= OVER_CHARGE_COND_VOLTAGE) {
s3c_set_chg_en(0);//Set charge off
s3c_bat_info.bat_info.batt_is_full = 1;
force_update = 1;
}
Which means:
If voltage is greater than or equal to 4210mV stop charging.
[Increased charge rate]
Kernel/drivers/regulator/victory/max9889_function.c: Line 3092
Code:
reg_buff[0] = (0x0 <<5) |(0x3 << 3) | /*(0x5<<0)*/ [COLOR="Blue"](0x6<<0)[/COLOR] ; // CHG_TOPOFF_TH=10%, CHG_RST_HYS=Disable, AC_FCGH=600mA // ???mA
Kernel/drivers/regulator/victory/max9889_function.c: Line 3106
Code:
reg_buff[0] = (0x0 <<5) |(0x3 << 3) |/*(0x1<<0)*/ [COLOR="Blue"](0x3<<0)[/COLOR] ; // CHG_TOPOFF_TH=10%, CHG_RST_HYS=Disable, AC_FCGH=380mA // ???mA
Based on some rudimentary calculations this translates to:
Code:
AC: @320mA which translates to @704mA
USB: @249mA which translates to @548mA
Note:: This was tested with a stock cable and charger for AC, and a stock cable and a direct laptop port for USB.
For more information read this post.
[Adjusted fuel gauge (battery level percentage)]
Kernel/drivers/power/victory/fuel_gauge.c: Line 159
Code:
adj_soc = (((data[0]*10) - 15) * 100) / (/*950*/ [COLOR="Blue"]980[/COLOR] - 15); // hanapark_Atlas
Which means:
Instead of rounding 95% up to 100% round 98% up to 100%.
:[WishList]:
Fixing the battery percentage output to be more accurate. (Partially done, we'll see how it goes.)
Adjusting the values to what I feel is the best charging experience (while still remaining "safe").
Possibly(?) increasing the charge rate to enable faster charging.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested on an Epic 4G running Bonsai 4.0.0b2 with a stock battery.
This build has not been tested on an extended battery (yet).
:[Feedback]:
Please post your feedback, I'd like to know some of the values reported when full charge occurs, when recharge starts / stops, if you've noticed your battery keeps charge longer / less, etc...

Guinea Pig Number #1 reporting for duty!!! My phone booted up ok and did not explode!
I am using the Midnight Rom 4.2 Byor Edition so far my phone has booted up ok. I am charging my phone right now as we speak. I will do benchmark speeds when my phone is done charge up fully. I wiped my partination cache and the Dilvke cache too. I am trying to get a full charge.
Sweet Awesome work bro 8)
is this just a kernal flash? can't see what the file is from work. also, is it still the bonsai kernal? so smart ass governor still an option?
is it relatively simple to jack up the charge rate? my friends iphone charges in like an hour or less. mine takes at least 3 hours. annoying to say the least.
removed root for me
What makes the smartass governor special.
Can I keep my phone on 1.2 GHZ and the smartass governor will only use as much power it needs to complete the task at hand or would I save battery life by putting my phone on 800 MHz or it does not matter? Great Rom Kernal fast and efficient. The first time I flashed it I go slow benchmark scores but the score kept on improving and now they are pretty close to the score on the Bonsai Rom Kernal and this Rom gives you a fuller battery charge. I am loving this Kernal I highly recommend it. It is the best kernal I have tried so far and I have tried a lot of kernals in my day. This experimental kernal is the best kernal I have put in my phone this could be my daily driver. I have to give it a full day's test. So far so good not problems to report yet.
thank you! loved this kernels on my evo! will try today/tonight!

you running syndicate? i think i read the other day that root is in the kernel in syndicate. just run the 1 click root again
The other day I was looking at how to get a little more "umph" from the USB port charging. Do you think that we could tinker with this
Code:
static void s3c_set_chg_en(int enable)
{
int chg_en_val = maxim_chg_status();
if (enable) {
if (chg_en_val) {
if(curent_device_type==PM_CHARGER_TA)
maxim_charging_control(PM_CHARGER_TA, TRUE);
else if (curent_device_type==PM_CHARGER_USB_INSERT)
maxim_charging_control(PM_CHARGER_USB_INSERT, TRUE);
else{
maxim_charging_control(PM_CHARGER_DEFAULT, FALSE);
}
s3c_set_time_for_charging(1);
}
} else {
maxim_charging_control(PM_CHARGER_DEFAULT, FALSE);
s3c_set_time_for_charging(0);
s3c_bat_info.bat_info.batt_is_recharging = 0;
s3c_bat_info.bat_info.batt_current = 0; // hanapark_Victory
}
s3c_bat_info.bat_info.charging_enabled = enable;
}
Making it think that is never is plugged into anything but the wall charger would cause a little more current to be pushed through, and since we only pull like 600 mah from the wall, I think a could USB port/ Cord could handle it.
If none of that makes since, just tell me. I haven't spent more than a few minutes reading through the code that is there, and I really don't know too much about this stuff anyways.
Is this similar to the evo's sbc kernal where it will allow to fully (Trickle) charge an extended battery?

Yes this is just a kernel, and yes this is based on the Bonsai kernel, anything that is included in the sources available here is included.
I've also added the 2.6.34 Idle timer that nullghost has given to us (taken from the ACS github, Thanks for your hard work guys!).

It seems that some Roms have root included in the kernel, which is not the case for Bonsai (and therefore this kernel as well).
ps- Thanks for your work on the SBC kernel for the Evo! This was definitely inspired by it.

This is not quite the same as the SBC kernel for the Evo (this does not trickle-charge).
It differs in that, the Epic already performs a "bump-charge" by default.
This kernel is a simple modification of the values used to determine when the bump charging occurs, etc.
So this is, more or less, just a modification of the stock charging behavior.

You sir, get a separate reply ;]
You are correct that you could change that code to force the USB into thinking it's being charged via AC, but I feel that would be a bad choice in implementation.
Rather check the code here:
/drivers/regulator/victory/max8998_function.c Lines: 3089 ~ 3118

}
I believe it would be better to adjust the values marked above.
But I'm no good with bit shifting code, and I haven't yet figured out what to change the values to.
Of course we (you?) could simply change the value and see what happens, but I prefer to (at least somewhat) understand what I'm doing when I apply a change.
So that is why I haven't messed with it yet, more research needs to be done IMO.
If you do decide to try this, let me know how it goes.
And remember the USB spec says that it only gives out 500mA max.

Well in that case ill be building tonight..... just needed a little refirmation from someone. Makes me sleep bettr at night.

FWIW, we used something from no2chem called "Fast Charge" on WinMo, back when I used a Diamond.
It would charge around 900 maH(much less than Diamond's 1340 MaH battery) on USB and AC and drop down(trickle charge) once it reached 90 percent.
"A quick test from a usb2 port shows the following approx values:
At 50% charge, charges at 918mA
50 minutes later, battery is at 90% and charging at 462mA"
Batteries can accept up to their mA in charging, and since the batteries aren't usually spot on to their rated mA, I'd say we'd be safe up until about 1200 mA charging.
If all that makes sense, it's been a while since I've devved and had to learn all that good stuff.
EDIT: @Kcarp: I've got like 4 OEM batteries here, I'm willing to put at least one of them towards testing, assuming it's not going to harm the phone and would be a battery only affair.
mA and mAh are completely different units, one measures current and one measures capacity.

Yep, I always loaded the fast charger drivers from no2chem on my TP1 and TP2. Enjoyed the increased charging rate from the car charger, usb, and other chargers.
That's the one thing I missed when I moved from the TP2 to the Epic...the Epic was god awful slow at charging!
Well, forgot that the hdd on my laptop has become "unstable" gotta go buy one, probably be tomorrow night before I can build I might try building anyways...it still boots, just locks up and makes god awful noises...we shall see I guess.

What you have reported is not normal behavior.
Did you get the battery monitor widget? Could you post some of the history?
I would suggest you unplug from the charger, reboot into CWM, clear the battery stats, and reboot.
Sometimes the percentage readout behaves strangely, some people have reported that rebooting the phone drastically changes their reported percentages.
(Not on this kernel, but it's been mentioned at least a couple times in the Bonsai thread.)
Maybe you are experiencing this?
If you battery has been charging for 4hrs+ and isn't increasing it's percentage, then something is going wrong and needs to be investigated.
This is where the monitor widget comes in handy, what voltage is being reported, what current (mA) is being pumped into the phone, etc.
=]
i tried the kernal, took like 3 1/2 hours to charge up from 35% or so. but i dont know that we are really gaining much, what are we getting,another 2%?
if we could increase the charge rate, that would be something.
Here are 2 bugs I would like to report you loose root, the superuser icon is there, but you can't let special apps ask for permission. 2nd, the kernel is not supported for wirless tether, I am using the snydicate rom if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the kernel, I see great promise in it
I'm starting to thinking that my battery is defect because I had Nexus S [sold] prior to purchasing another Nexus S, which I'm currently using.
It used to last me about a day, now it lasts about 5 hours.
I set it to auto brightness [which seems to use about 70% of my battery according to battery use on Settings].
I sync my school email every one hour, GMail, and few other SMS-alternative applications that pops up.
I have Live Wallpaper.
My settings were pretty much identical to my previous Nexus S so I'm not sure what exactly is wrong.
Any suggestions on improving battery life?
Is auto-brightness equal to better battery life or lowest (1) setting? I'm totally fine with auto brightness but I can't seem to see well outdoors when it's set to lowest brightness setting.
Do you use setcpu? It can help extend your battery life to last you throughout the day.

I set my CPU below 1 GHz when battery is under 50% but I can see it lag and since the battery seem to go down to 50% pretty quickly, I'm not sure if that's a feasible option.
16 hours, 55 minutes on battery ... and battery left = 69% ...
It was mostly on wifi, games, browsing, etc.
Mine lasts about 12 hours with fairly heavy useage. MSN messenger via beejiveIM, texts, emails via gmail and loads of web.
I bought a second (genuine) battery and an external charger so I always have 2 available and charged.
I tend to leave setcpu at 800MHz max unless I particularly need the horsepower, in which case I can bump it up to 1.4GHz if I need it.

The important part is to underclock your CPU to a very low clock when it's screen is off. That will boost your battery significantly

Yep, I checked my profile again and screen off is set to 800 max 100 min. Should I lower even more?
Temp > 50.0 C is 400 max 100 min

Battery < 50% is 1400 max 1000 min.

give it a few charge cycles. often the battery stats are just screwed up after a new rom. If it is still bad in a few days, then something may be wrong.

Okay, so I've been running Lithium v1.3 for several weeks now, and even with an added overclock and other tweaks, I still have pretty darn good battery life with moderate to heavy usage. I can get a full day's charge running at 1.25 GHz and emailing/texting/calling/gaming throughout the day. Just updating concerns from the OP with my own experiences while running this awesome rom! :good:

no extended battery for me, i just bought the phone a week back. no extra accessories.. just stock ROM, stock phone and stock charger/battery.
the game i played for 2-2,5hrs was stick cricket, then i played Extreme Skating and Pro Zombie Soccer for 30 min. Today i played Sims 3 for an hour and that took 10% of my battery. I switched on Mobile Hotspot in my phone and used its GPRS on my laptop(tethered) for an hour, that also took 9-10%.
btw, my prev phone was an LG OP1 . Let me know if you want me to check anything else.

no extended battery for me, i just bought the phone a week back. no extra accessories.. just stock ROM, stock phone and stock charger/battery.
the game i played for 2-2,5hrs was stick cricket, then i played Extreme Skating and Pro Zombie Soccer for 30 min. Today i played Sims 3 for an hour and that took 10% of my battery. I switched on Mobile Hotspot in my phone and used its GPRS on my laptop(tethered) for an hour, that also took 9-10%.
btw, my prev phone was an LG OP1 . Let me know if you want me to check anything else.

We use tekahuna's milestone overclock modules for overclocking.
Changing the cpu speed involves echoing the desired table entry into the /proc/overclock/mpu_opps entry as root.
ie:
Code:
echo 3 1250000000 1375000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
3 would be cpu slot 3 (3 is the highest on the atrix 2 typically set to 1ghz)
1250000000 is the desired frequency in hertz (1250 with six more zeroes at the end)
and 1375000 is the desired voltage in microvolts (1.375v). Tekahuna has said that 1.4v is the highest that these modules can push this. In my experience, that's not enough extra voltage to make a big difference in max overclock speed.
I recommend extensive testing of an overclock before you alter the init scripts to match. (well if you're using a rom with init built in)
Init.d support can be added to any rom by flashing this

As answersamir stated, it realty depends on the phone. I've clocked as high as 1.3GHz stably but don't really need that high of a clock speed, so I scaled back to 1.25GHz with underclock at 240MHz at echo 0. You'll just have to experiment without the echo 3 settings in the init.d folder making slow (100MHz) incremental jumps to see where your phone can run stable before random reboots or freezing occurs... after changing settings, reboot each time, and run for a while at the new clock speed to test.

use Battery Monitor Widget, charge the phone till you see 100% in that app, A2 shows charge in multiples of 10, so 100% in A2 battery means it reached 95%. Via the BMW app, you can add a widget to your homescreen in counts of 1% so you will see real battery %. Also it will show mAh, so when you charge untill it reaches 100% or 1740/1740mAh then only stop charging. You can see battery graphs and all that.
Hope yours is set to Settings->Battery $ data manager ->Battery mode -> Night-tiime saver
cos mine is
also via that app, it shows for me voltage of ~4113mV and a decent temperature of 33-35 degree celcius while charging.
Install the app and let us know the details. Also hope you are using the motorola charger and connecting it directly other than via usb->pc

Here's a simple step-by-step for overclocking:
Open Root Explorer or download HERE
Navigate to: system>etc>init.d then select the Oc3 with Text Editor
Find the echo 3 value that reads: echo 3 1125000000 61 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
Then, using the text editor in Root Explorer, change the echo 3 value from 1125000000 to *up to 1200000000 or even higher. (see note below!)
Hit the "back button" and Root Explorer will ask you to save changes. Confirm the changes, and reboot.
After rebooting, open SetCPU and you will see your changes there.
*You can experiment with your clock speed, and a good rule of thumb is to bump up slowly, rather than making large jumps all at once. Start by going from 1125 to 1150 and reboot. Then, if all is well and you've ran at this higher clock speed for a good 5 to 10 minutes, do the above listed process again and go from 1150 to 1175, and so on until you reach your highest stable overclock speed.

You can also underclock in the same way, by changing the echo 0 values. I set mine to underclock to 240MHz at echo 0. Also, using SetCPU you can change the CPU mode (which, you probably already know) from mot_hotplug to performance to ondemand, etc. Experimenting with these settings can either improve or decrease your battery life with the new overclocked speed.
Also, check out THIS THREAD post by rdavisct that gives further explanation to the topic.

Hmm there a problem....there no oc3 file in init.d???
Hello guys
I'm not a new user in kernels or ROMs .
I have a low-decent battery life ,and I'm sure there's a way to get a better battery life with undervolting .
I want to know
what is "undervolting" ?
What is the biggest damage it can cause?
What is PVS?
How do I know ,how much I can UV?
What are the steps to undervolt?
What I gain from UV (despite battery life)?
For your info ,I'm using AOSPAL ROM +FAUX's latest 16u kernel .
Thanks

Hi,
Most of your questions have a reply:
About undervolting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/nexus-5-undervolting-thread-t2537000.
CPU binning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/cpu-binning-nexus-5-t2515593.
The "risks" are instability like hard reboot, SOD, etc.... To find a "safe" value you will need to test by yourself to find what undervolting your CPU can handle, not all CPU's are equals.
Undervolt by steps like - 25mV, don't set your new values at boot unless your are sure it's stable (or you could encounter bootloop), test for a few days under different conditions (as your use).
The gain apart battery life (but you will not gain that much as people tend to think) is a little less heat, but again nothing huge..., better is to test by yourself and see what you will gain... or not.
Battery life depends mainly of your use, apps, signal quality and settings like, screen brightness, synchro, CPU governor, etc... In my opinion check first what could be the cause of your low battery life (and what is low battery life for you???) before play with undervolting.
As said above, undervolting will get you very minor battery life increases.
More than likely you have an issue, or its just your setup and usage giving you the battery life you are seeing.
Undervolting will not change any of this.... You'll gain only minutes of battery time.
Try some troubleshooting in the below thread to see if you have an issue, or how to setup for better battery life. Read through it a bit, from the last page and work back a bit. You can post meaningful screenshots there too. From gsam or BBS.... not the stock battery screen, it has no real useful info for finding issues. Good luck!!

Nexus 5 Battery Results
I've been undervolting many systems for many years, primarily Linux desktops and some servers, and the primary benefit is that you get less heat output which means when running cpu-intensive tasks the temperature climbs slower so the throttling of the clockspeed kicks in later, so your phone will be faster in certain situations. If you take a phone which has been idle for a while and run a benchmark, and then immediately run that benchmark again, the 2nd time gets a lower result as the phone is still hot from the 1st. This makes drawing conclusions about settings really dificult but it illustrate that throttling from heat is affecting speed.
For most users their perception will be the phone runs cooler.
You do undervolt at each step in the processor's frequency, and each step is a trial+error activity, the throttling I mention means finding a stable under-volt at the higher frequency which is labour-intensive,i.e take the max clock, and undervolt it a little, run a benchmark which forces it to run at high clockspeed, and if it passes that test then run it again at the next step down in frequency. Once you've got the most stable top clockspeed, then do it progressively for all the other voltages on the way down.
In some platforms in Linux and Windoze, we wrote scripts which save the stable voltages and then undervolts a little and runs a stress-testing benchmark and if the system hung it wouldn't save the current voltages so the previous higher voltages were safer, stick that script in a startup script area and leave the compute to do many self resets, and you've calculated your device's voltage range. I wonder if someone has that done for Android??? For a laptop the FAN would run slower saving battery time and for laptops that would lead to say 20% better battery life but on a phone it won't make much saving as no fan.
Your phone will run most of its time (like 95%) at its lowest frequency, so for effort/benefit just focusing on dropping its voltage will gain the most in the phone running cooler.
Battery life improvement is marginal, if you look at your battery stats its down to your application settings and screen brightness, i.e. how you use and what you do with your phone. So if your battery life is bad, use your phone less!
I carry a slim USB battery, it is the $/effort/benefit the best thing you can do, $20 doubles your battery life, if you get one with a 1.5A-2A output in just a few minutes when the phone doesn't mind a battery attached, will dwarth every possible tweak and hack anyone can form in benefit.
Howdy,
You might remember me from the Xperia Z2 or the Xperia Z. I've started playing around with Android on my old Sony Xperia X10i and i've always liked fiddling around with too much data and thoroughly testing what i own in order to fully understand it.
Lately i've been active in the HTC 10 Subforums but since the Battery started going bad i've become afraid of the phone dying on me and i got this really good deal on the XZ2. So here i am back at Sonys.
So... this thread is mainly for me to keep my findings sorted but you might also find some interesting things here.
If you take a look at my older threads you'll know what to expect
What's new with the Xperia XZ2?
Well.... Android 8.0 with SD845 and 4.9 Kernel... no more Interactive governor. We got EAS built in an use SchedUtil. While it is possible to modify the behaviour of SchedUtil via SchedTune it's nowhere nearly as complex as Interactive or different governors.
Trepn Profiler doesn't report Battery Power anymore... while Trepn Profiler has been partially broken since Android 6.0 it did work kinda fine on the SD820 devices even with Android 8.1 and custom Kernels. (except Load%) Even though it was limited one poll per 30sec. While on the XZ2 only estimated Power is available. Which does not work due to missing CPU load.
Benchmarking:
Powerdrain: Find out how much the Phone is using under specific circumstances.
Charging: How fast does the Device charge from 1% to 100%
Throttling: Analyzing Thermal and Powerlimit Throttling
Benchmarking Apps:
Repetitouch: To create custom Benchmarks that simulate normal everyday usage.
BatteryLog: For Charging Benchmark, Voltage and Battery% per Minute
GameBench: For FPS in games. (Make sure you deactivate Screenshot function for HTC10)
Benchmarking Hardware:
YZX Powermonitor: USB 3.0 QC3.0 4-13V 0-3A USB A Male-> USB A Female Powermonitor that measures Voltage and Current passing trough.

First thing we see is the max Voltage.... this phone is fully charged at 4,331V Okay? Guess that's the new kind of Battery. I'm used to see 4,4V
After 40 Minutes when the battery reached 40°C and 60% there is Thermal Throttling. If you take a look at the HTC10 Charging you can see the CCCV breaking point this does not happen here, it's simply reduced from 11W to 8W which does indicate throttling. It's only after 117 Minutes when the Battery reaches 4,33V that you can see the expected curve...
This has to do with the new Qnovo Charging Technology. Nice read on Qnovo Charging Technology...
In the far future when my phone found out when i charge it over night i'm also gonna measure the Battery Care in action i wonder how slow it charges if it has the time.
Oh, and i'll have to Try with Another QC3.0 Charger. While the UCH12 is QC3.0 and PD2.0 compatible even the Old Sony Chargers said 1.5A but only charged the phone with 1A....
just some ramblings to not forget....

To Properly show these Values i've modified the adb reading scripts i've found somewhere else on XDA...
You simply start the .bat file when connected via ADB... either trough USB, or connect phone via USB type "ADB tcpip 5555" unplug, when in WiFi use adb connect 192.168.1.XX:5555
Welcome back! ^^
Thermal Throttling & Task Migration / Load Balancing
When i first used this phone i tought i'd have Endless power in my hands, so i couldn't resist using it ALL. Started CPU Load Generator app and saw that even with 8 Threads fully loaded the phone does not throttle down CPU....
Sound awesome huh? Even the Temperature wasn't getting that hot. Coooool... (pun intended)
But i was a tiny wee bit Skeptical. Could it really be? So i've decided to use my USB Powermeter and charge my phone to 100%. After a while the phone kept using the same current. 0.255W to be accurate. (With Screen Off and WiFi connected)
using a Full Load i could see all CPU cores staying at the max Frequency.
But.... the wallcharger did say something different!
Not even a Full Minute! While it does peak at 8W it falls down to a sustaineable 4W rapidly. (Even drops to 3.5W Later on...)
So What's going on here?
Using Snapdragon Profiler with ADB over WiFi i've tried different Load Scenarios, 1-9 threads and 16 threads.
1 Thread:
You can see the Thread jumping between core 5, 6 and 7
2 Threads:
With 2 Threads core 4 is also used this time
3 Threads:
with 3 Threads Core 7 is not being used anymore... throttling? The phone is trying to reach a sustaineable temperature of 60°C by limiting Big cores to 2.4ghz
4 Threads:
While core 7 stays offline we see the small cores being used, and a throttling to 2.4ghz on big cores.
5 Threads:
While it did cool down enough to go back to the big cores previously, now it stays on small cores. Also 2.17ghz on big cores.
6 Threads:
7 Threads:
Dropping to 1.84ghz on big cores
8 Threads:
Aaaannndd... here is the magic! 2.8ghz on big cores! Somehow the phone switched to another throttling method than frequency.
9 Threads:
While we did see some slight CPU frequency drops with 8 threads, they're all gone with 9.
16 Threads:
Exactly the same as with 9 threads.
Sadly Snapdragon Profiler does not show BatteryPower on the XZ2 So it seems plugging to the WallCharger is the only way to figure this out.
I'll have to redo tests when my phone is fully charged and see if i can get a consistent powerdrain.
Edit: Update: Android P Beta.... Dev Preview 2
Starting with 4 Threads...
Core 7 does NOT get turned off anymore.... But you do see a small task migration as soon as 68°C are hit. Small cores get more load.
Looking at the Performance you see a gradual degradation, and not big spikes like before.
With 7 Threads:
We can see Thermal Limit has been increased to 72°C
The Performance drops really fast to 85%-90% but manages to stay there for a long long time. i'm really impressed.
Edit:
Absolutly nothing new with Android 10 (Again 8 Threads)
Powerdrain & Thermal Throttling
Okay... here we go... Wallcharger + Snapdragon Profiler...
First i've charged my phone fully to check Idle drain. Around 0.3W check.
About GPU testing:
You see the Idle 1.2W Powerdrain at the beginning? That's because Snapdragon Profiler is connected via ADB over WiFi. Quite a lot compared to the 0.3W Idle...
The first few Peaks until 12 Minutes are a failure because i've accidently started the sublevel Benchmarks^^
The first real Peak to 5.4W is a CarChase OnScreen.
The 1.7G on Clocks/Second is a reading error, normal Max is 710Mhz.
You can see the Temperature reaching 66°C and throttling starts, GPU going to 600Mhz, also Big Cores limiting to 2.17ghz.
The 2nd Peak is CarChase OffScreen.
You can see the big cores dropping in Frequency pretty early. GPU maxed out at 710mhz, until the phone reaches 68°C. GPU throttles heavily, and Big cores are going Offline putting the Load on small cores.
Which caused a drop in Powerusage from 5W to 3.7W
The last Peak is Manhatten OffScreen.
When Throttling starts at 68°C GPU drops from 710mhz to 600mhz and task migration from big to small cores.
The Powerdrain is reduced from 4.4W to 3.9W
About CPU testing:
Well.... that didn't work as well as expected... In the Powermonitor graph you can see i've used CPU Load Generator started with 1 Thread, and added 1 more after 1 Minute, until i had 4 threads.
Admittely the phone was already 45°C when i started this test... therefore i've already had throttling before i even started.... But well.... i've expected more...
The same peaks that are visible in the Powermonitor graph are also clearly visible in the temperature graph on Snapdragon Profiler.
So even if the phone is throttling, it allows Burstpower/increased thermal limit for new tasks, to reduce lag. Pretty neat.
Edit: Here we go... on a cold device:
As always, until Minute 1.2 is pure IDLE, from 2-2.7 is whit ADB over WiFi and Snapdragon Profiler connected.
At Minute 3 you see the start of the first Task. Using around 3.3W
At 4.2 you see the 2nd Task starting, generating 4.4W load
At 5.2 the 3rd Task starts, using up to 6.3W but shortly after (timestamp 225s in the graph below) the phone reaches 68°C and starts throttling. Load drops to 5W. because the continous Load of 5W is not sustaineable the phone throttles down to 4.1W (timestamp 245s)
Tt 6.2 Minutes the 4th Task is started, which generates 5.2W, this causes the phone to get almost 68°C again (timestamp 275s) and drops powerdrain to 3.3W, the phone cools down to about 60°C (timestamp 295s) and stop throttling, therefore peaking to 6.1W and rising to 68°C again in 10 seconds. Trying to limit powerdrain to 5.2W for the next 5 seconds fails, and task migration kicks in turning core7 offline and pushing load onto little cores. Limiting Big cores to 2.4ghz and using 3.9W
(timestamp 0s equals 2 Minutes on the other graph)
Edit2:
So what does that mean for Performance?
I've used the App CPU Throttling Test to create a workload and also Display it's performance. Here you can see 3 threads at work. Full Performance 125.9GIPS
The 2 Minute run does not throttle, Snapdragon Profiler proofs that
Using the app with 7 Threads causes throttling twice. But again, all cores are shown at full frequency.
Using Snapdragon Profiler we can see the phone throttling at 64°C (timestamp 447s) and later on at 60°C (timestamp 490s)
The performance drops from 125.9Gips to 104.9Gips. Nothing in Snapdragon profiler would indicate that.... CPU frequency stays the same and Load is also equal.
These graphs are such a pain
I have no clue where the Thermal Limit is on the P Beta.... but it seems to be quite high!
(click on Image to get redirected to interactive Chart from Google Sheets)
(The Drops are when i stopped testing and changed from 8 to 7 to 6 threads)
panel0-backlight thermal-devfreq-0 thermal-cpufreq-0 thermal-cpufreq-1 thermal-cpufreq-2 thermal-cpufreq-3 thermal-cpufreq-4 thermal-cpufreq-5 thermal-cpufreq-6 thermal-cpufreq-7

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
There is NO throttling due to Task Migration, thats what Snapdragon profiler said, and the value in sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state proofs this. As you can see in the example above, they stayed at 0 during the whole test.
Which is nice to know, since now we're certain Performance throttling does not happen due to a value in thermal/cooling_device*
Edit:
Oh.... not sure if this is a P feature or happens on Oreo too... gotta test...
But when you reach 5% Battery big cores shovel all Tasks to small cores, therefore frequency drops to 800mhz and performance takes a HUGE hit.
This time we see all 4 big cores reach a value of 24 on sys/class/thermal/cooling_device* for thermal-cpufreq-4, 5, 6 and 7.
Edit 2: Thermal Throttling on Android P (dev preview 2)
Yeah... i need way more patience.... Did another test, this time while charging, so we have power Measurement!
We already knew Thermal limit was WAY higher on P.....
(interactive Chart...)
Because this was using External Power from Wallcharger the battery did not heat up as fast because it was not used. Took 10 minutes for the battery to reach 43°C while the starting point was about 32°C
What we did not know... the PowerLimit is different too!
on Oreo it peaks at 8W and then rapidly drops to 6W and even lower to 4W when the Limit kicks in.
Thanks to the bigger Thermal Headroom we have in P it only peaks to 6.5W and drops to 5.8W in 1 minute but after that it continuously falls from 5.8W to 5W in 10 Minutes! Seems like it manages to stay at 5W. Oreo couldn't handle that.
You Remember Qnovo Charging on the XZ2 ?

Well... it's not present in Android P Dev Preview 2.
We still have the typical CCCV point
But instead QuickCharge 3.0 is doing a good job in scaling Voltage.
Charging is fast, 105 minutes to 130 Minutes... but with Qnovo you have 93% at 105 Minutes, who cares about 7% If you have way better battery live.
Sadly Bluetooth Broke down after 70 Minutes.... oh well you can probably imagine what happens from minutes 70 to 130 right? ^^

Coming from OnePlus, I'm not impressed at all. My 5T could do 0-93% in only 60 mins. Almost twice as fast... Old OnePlus phones didn't seem to suffer from battery degradation after more than a year either.

Firstly Sony is limiting itself to QC 3.0. Secondly seeing as higher end phones all pack high quality batteries, they all suffer little degradation in the first place. Sony's method might make them last even longer. Come back in 2 to 3 years time and compare the battery health before saying you are not impressed. Not everyone is rich like you people to change phones every year or less. There are people who think about really long term usage and this should benefit them considering how batteries are non user replaceable nowadays.

I said that because my friend is still using his OP3 and it's been two years. His SOT is still largely similar and he use Dash charge all the time.
And no I am not rich. Rich people buy iPhone.

one thing worth noting when it comes to battery life
What killed my battery on my Z1 (I replaced it twice) was doing nandroid backups with TWRP, I believe part of the problem is that all the OS battery control and protection is not running when you boot into recovery and it causes extreme overheating, it is definitely something to be aware of and IMO destroys batteries
Charging Android 10
Nothing much changed For the good or the bad ^^
Aftermarket Battery Tests
Aftermarket Battery Tests
Because i was unhappy with the Batterylife of my XZ2, it was nowhere near where it has been 2 years before, i decided to open my phone and replace the battery!
Opening your phone seems kinda easy, so no big issue. In theory... in practice you need to be aware of 2 important details.
You need new Glue to close it again. Afaik Witrigs is the only seller of that.
Be verry carefull on the bottom part. If you go too dep you will cut your Display cable and need to buy a new LCD for 35$. I'm speaking from experience....
How to test the battery?
Because the connector of the battery is proprietary and extremely compact you can't plug the battery directly, so i had to make use of the USB Power Delivery function to draw 5V out of the phone.
The Phone was in Flight mode with screen off, to make sure no other services use the battery. Then i connected a Load Generator i bought from aliexpress. Drawing 5V 1A my 2.5 year old battery lasted 1h33 min and gave out 7.6Wh
Original Battery:
Which has been in use for more than 2 years.
7.6Wh - 7.8Wh Obviously i did 2-3 Tests to see if i get the same every time. And it was always around that.
Hsabat 4300mAh Battery:
Bought from Aliexpress for 13.- Looks pretty decent. Is utter crap. As one expects.
First charge gave 7.3Wh, Second charge gave 5.6Wh and third charge gave 6.5Wh Not something you want to put in your phone.
Witrigs Battery:
Since i bought the glue there anway, why not just get a battery for 9$ and test that!
It looks bland (black) but hey... who cares as long as it works.... right? it works?.... well yeah...
First charge gave 7.3Wh and the others were also around that. "New" Battery? i Don't think so...
Phonedepot
Because i was disapointed that my old 2.5years harshly used battery has better capacity than **** i bought online i went to a swiss shop which has quality batteries... well yeah... at least is supposed to: Phonedepot.ch
It's more expensive but has faster shipping (as its close by) and the quality of the battery looks way better from the ouside.
I managed to draw 7.4Wh - 7.5Wh
Conclusion
Well... it was obvious before i even started.... i just didn't want to believe it.
Aftermarket batteries sucks. All of them!
Simply replacing your battery to get better batterylife is a dream. If youre battery broke down completly a replacement can help out, yes. But not if the battery is ageing normally.
This is extremely useful info, thank you for the tests.
Yeah, so this is a problem. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't bought any of those "new" batteries or aftermarket ones. All of them are a low quality piece of garbage so unless your battery is dead, literally, I wouldn't really buy these. This isn't any help from me and I am aware of that. The problem is, you can't really buy any genuine battery from anywhere. LG has a lot of genuine replacement parts and you even can buy from them directly, or from samsung. I tried looking on aliexpress but there are "replacement" batteries that are obviously fake or "original" that have the same serial numbers printed on them.
Official Battery Test!Because i really couldn't let it be i wen't and bought an official Sony Battery.
Where do you get a Official Battery you ask? There is an Official Sony Homepage that lists Repair Centers. Here in Switzerland Sertronics is the official Repair center. Mailed them with the Part number and Foto of my Battery and got a quick answer.
28.- is an extremely fair price. the 16.- shipping are somewhat annoying.
So i got an Official Battery which Looks WAY better than the other ones.
Looks pretty much the same as my Original one right?
So let's get into Testing...
As Before I've used my Discharging Tool via USB Type-C with 1A draw the 5V dropped to something like 4.85V so 4.85W draw was used. Phone in Flightmode with Screen off to have almost no internal power usage.
Sadly i had issues with some kinda power Saver which killed the USB Power drawing at 10% Battery sometimes....
Run:Time to 10%Wh at 10%Time to 0%Wh at 0%Stock Run 11h 28min7.1Wh--Stock Run 21h 29min-1h37min7.8WhStock Run 31h 29min7.2Wh--New Battery Run 11h 22min (16%)6.6Wh (16%)--New Battery Run 21h 27min-1h 38min7.9WhNew Battery Run 31h 29min-1h 38min7.9Wh
Works pretty much the same. You can see the Voltage Drop at the end is not THAT bad as with the Original Battery. (Yes, both of them we're used until the phone did an Emergency Shutdown due to low battery, shows 0% in the Log)
Because these Results aren't really that good (And Yes, i've plugged the new battery and used my phone for one week to let it acclimate, i also did two Full resets with the new battery, one with newflasher) i've checked the Battery test in the Service Menu.
It truly is no good. I've bought a "Typical 3180mAh" battery that has a minimum of 3060mAh and then it offers 2654. My old battery was showing something around 2700mAh the last time i checked.
So yeah... it is a fully working as intended Battery without any flaws... BUT the capacity is WAY to low.
I will contact the repair center from Sony and ask what the think of this.
Judging by the marked numbers on the replacement Sony battery, it was manufactured between April 4th and 10th 2020 (20W18 - year 2020, week 18). So you received a one year old battery. I also have some experiences with batteries manufactured around that date (20W32). Very poor results: 2200 mAh at first charge, then goes down to a consistent 2000 mAh for all other ones. XZ1 Compact here.
