Default Improving/troubleshooting battery life

Since I recently found out a few culprits that were waking up my phone from sleep and they were not so obvious as to what they were here's a quick list of apps I have on the phone and it sleeps properly.

48 hours after the last charge and I am at 65%! Overnight it drops by only 1-2%!

The application that was waking my phone was TasKiller! I have since removed it.

DO NOT USE THE POUCH THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE! IT PRESSES ON THE CAMERA BUTTON AND KEEPS THE PHONE FROM SLEEPING!



//////////// How to see if your phone is getting interupted from sleep ///////////////
  1. 1. Install spare parts
  2. 2. Turn the phone off
  3. 3. Turn the phone on
  4. 4. Wait for the phone to fully boot (do not kill any applications)
  5. 5. Lock the phone and wait 20 minutes
    1. 5.0 After you have waited 20 minutes unlock the phone
    2. 5.1 Go into spare parts
    3. 5.2 Click on "Battery history"
    4. 5.3 Click on "Running" and write down the time it spent without sleeping
    5. 5.4 Go to home screen and lock phone
    6. 5.5 Wait 20 minutes
    7. 5.6 Unlock and go back into spare parts
    8. 5.7 battery history
    9. 5.8 Click on Running and compare the current value with the previous! IT SHOULD NOT BE MUCH GREATER! For example: if it was 10 minutes before it should not be more than ~13 minutes after. If it is, you have something that is waking your phone from sleep!





My config:

Using Galaxo from HDBlog.it forums (without the hero theme). DID A FACTORY RESET!

Everything is on stock settings expect for these:

///////////////////////////Settings menu///////////////////////////////

Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks
Use only 2G networks: ON
Data roaming : ON

Settings -> Sound & Display
Auto backlight: ON

Settings -> Applications settings
Unknown sources: ON

Settings -> Applications settings -> Developments
USB Debuging: ON
Allow mock locations: ON



///////////////////////////Galaxo Configuration///////////////////////////


Compcache: Off
Cpu sampling: Eco
SSH server: off
Renice: ON
Provisionned: ON



/////////////////////////// ADB ///////////////////////////

Thanks to kam187 and his thread on tweaks

Copy paste from the thread!

# Remount read/write
adb remount

# open shell
adb shell

# go to apps directory
cd /data/app_s

# delete QuickDroid (if you want to)
rm QuickDroid.apk

# delete NPS sync (it doesn't work so why run it!)
rm wssyncmlnps.apk

# disable drexe (this gets baseband info for NPS. Who needs it!)
mv /system/bin/drexe /system/bin/drexe.off

# disable npsmobex (this handles auth with nps)
mv /system/bin/npsmobex /system/bin/npsmobex.off


///////////////////////////INSTALLED APPS///////////////////////////
