Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Hmm... With ApMeFo you could have hit the hildon bug.

What I can say is that battery-eye, personal IP address, personal dataplan and a few others I have all up and running and I have excellent battery life. I don't play much, but this is about standby time. And my N900 stands by > 24 hours on wifi + jumps maybe 30 times a day with ~25% battery.

I get a drain of about 9% overnight, but that's because maintenance is performed overnight - apt tasks, calendar cleanup and whatever heck I have no clue of yet. Like I said, over the day a 20 min charge nets me ~35% charge if charging from red, wall wart, and that holds me over the day.

I also reboot daily to fix the python widget issue. OC@900 and swappiness set to 10.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Yes true, nothing is random =P

Never tried sysklogd. Will install that tonight and see how it goes. Curiosity might get the better of me and I'm gonna give it another test before reflashing.

It may just show what tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick is doing.. Nothing is consuming cpu cycles but the device is waking up all the time.

No SD card in the phone here.

I thought it may be a voltage issue with titan's kernel since I'm undervolting, but resetting it to default didn't make much of a difference. A new version of the kernel is out too, will be interesting to see how that goes!

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

It's what I've suspected as monitoring has my hildon.desktop constantly getting actioned. So I uninstalled ApMeFo (with much weeping and gnashing of teeth, as I love that app), and went the day and night after a reboot to see if it had any affect. Nope. After coming off the charger I was at 94% after 10 minutes of use I was down to 84%, after waking up this morning I was at 72%.

I've been looking at battery graph and the processor is spiked when it should be doign nothing. So now I'm trying to figure out what is causing the CPU to never rest.

Re: List of Apps known to drain battery?
 

I use Firefox as my main browser as I prefer tabbed browsing, however having read your post a couple of days ago I did a little test...
In my job there is quite a bit of sitting around awaiting my 'go' so therefore i do quite a bit of browsing the net...I always have to charge my N900 every day and i carry a spare battery too just in case i can't see the day out.
On Monday evening I charged my phone (didn't reboot) to full at around 9pm, listened to an hour podcast in bed that evening, work next day with usual amount of browsing, music on train, several phone calls, podcast again at night. Today is Wednesday 9am and i still have 15% battery left. I make that 36 hours without a charge and counting. The only thing i did differently was use opera browser instead of firefox! I didn't install or uninstall any apps in that period.
I prefer firefox and opera to microb because of the tabs and add ons and will still use firefox but i think that it is fairly conclusive that for me at least firefox causes a drain.
BTW..I always close the browser down when not in use...

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

I am doing a little trick with help of Alarmed every night between 01.00-07.30. I tell it to switch to a oc-profile of 125-250 mhz with minimum volt and flight mode. I do not want anyone to call me those hours anyway.

This night it only took 50 mAh! ;)

Me too like Firefox and i have noticed that it sometimes take much cpu. I did not have that before. I think it might be an extention causing it.

Re: List of Apps known to drain battery?
 

I'll try to rephrase the part I quoted from my previous post:

Based on my personal observations, they use so little power that I cannot give you any numbers about how much battery % they use. That's what I meant with "not measureable". I've noticed no difference, running them or not.

To put it in a Star Wars quote:
"These aren't the battery-consuming apps you're looking for."

I must admit that I haven't tried really hard to measure the idle consumption of those apps, since I'm actually using my N900 as my primary phone. On my normal use (some quite short calls i.e. not hours, sms, e-mail, listening music/podcasts, occasional web browsing, 3g data or wifi always on, OC'd to 250-900 with mix of ideal and starving voltage profiles) I get over 24 hours on full charge. If I put the phone to offline mode over night, I get about 5% drain over 8 hours.

I never remember my N900 having power itself off because it has run out of battery. I wonder if it actually ever does that.

I spend most of the time in areas with good cell coverage. However, I've noticed (and from what I read around here, I'm not alone) that staying in flaky coverage areas can eat up the battery really fast.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

AlMehdi could you share some more specifics on your alarmed setup? Ie: What do I need to mimick it? (OC Kernel, overclocking app, etc.)

Thanks!

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Alarmed, Titan's kernel, maybe rootsh, and all the wiki pages you can keep down.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Got it, just working on the command line for enabling the 125-250mhz setting on the kernel.

Edit: Got it setup in Alarmed and in the Desktop Command Widgets.

Pretty nice, lets see if it helps my battery. ;)

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Great that you figured it out! It is pretty simple actually ;)

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Is it working fine in Desktop Command Widgets? I had to abandon it, it kept going bonkers. What command?

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Here is what I did when there was something causing unusually high battery usage.

1. Having had BatteryGraph installed, I was able to go back and compare the daily graphs to find the approximate beginning of the issue.
2. Then I went into FapMan, and had it list all installed/updated items by date.
3. Systematically removed two or three items every day, checking the results in between.
4. Repeated that until the battery drain was back to the previous averages.
5. Having it narrowed down to two items, I was able to find the culprit (in my case MaeNotify).

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

believe it is

Just change the 125 and 600 to whatever values you want to use. Also make sure you disable the updating for everything except being clicked. On mine as soon as a saved the new command, it would go back to the desktop, so just click the wrench again to get into settings and make sure you take care of the updating options as mentioned.

I have 3 on mine. One for underclocking while I'm sleeping, one for normal use, and one for some more guts.

I don't like leaving it overclocked as it's just not necessary. To be honest I'm not even really seeing any real speed ups when overclocked, I just like this kernel because it allows me to underclock way lower than the stock one.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Thanks man, good advice and nice method. I'll use that myself from now on.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

AlMehdi

I managed to reproduce my power drain problem with the device stuck in C0. I noticed this only happens after booting from a shutdown and will stay until I do another (or a number of) shutdowns. Interestingly the nokia boot up animation is cut short when this happens.

Attached is the syslog and also my powertop reading (monitored for 10min)

I went through the log and can't find anything useful so I'm wondering if you can take a look?

I shutdown the n900 and powered back on. syslogd starts logging on line 678 - 20:17:37 Nokia-N900 syslogd 1.5.0#5maemo7+0m5: restart.
After the system booted I then went into xterm and ran powertop for 10min. After that I left the device idle till line 1689: Aug 5 20:57:37 Nokia-N900 -- MARK --

I started leafpad to have a look at my powertop output and then started wifi to copy the output of syslog and powertop onto my pc.

The only thing I noticed is that I have some bad eraseblock errors on line 841-853, which is worrying. What can i do about that???

thanks!!

EDIT:

I did a line by line comparison of a 'good' boot vs a 'bad' boot syslog. What i've found is that the dsp crashed on boot and had to recover. line 1227:

This would actually explain why the startup animation stops 1/2way during boot. Thats the only meanful thing I could find. I've also attached the boot sequence of a good boot.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Well I woke up this morning to my phone being rebooted. It was stuck asking if I wanted to exit offline mode. Still I only lost 5% battery that night (8 hour period). I have all the things my alarmed does set up in a desktop command widget, this way I don't have to have a time on it occuring, and can just trigger it before going to bed.

It seems my battery problems have dissippated though as I only have 3 hours left of work (been here since 0800), and I'm still at 68% and have been using the phone a lot.

I think the real issue was MaeNotify. I also think installing the power kernel helped me out a lot (as I under clock a lot although the verdict is still out on whether or not this helped. This is becuase a process might run for 10 seconds at 600mhz but take 60 seconds at 250mhz. So I'm still trying to see if proportionally I'm getting a gain out of underclocking).

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

It depends on your usage profile. Me, e.g., I do little work time-wise, maybe an hour sum total, but I really lean on it. Upgrades, graphics apps, VNC, stuff like that. Overall, I get a "feel like" 30-40% improvement since OC to 900 MHz. I handled a stock-clocked today and it feels sluggish, I kept waiting on the device to finish. It might be that it spends more time waiting for me than the other way around.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Hey, you run on very high frequency 1.15GHz ! And it could be an exact reason why DSP crashed - it may be just not able to run this.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

OneNAND are specified for minimum amount of usable sectors. For example atleast 256 megs as in n900. There's almost always a list of bad blocks already when they leave the factory. It's nothing to worry about, the OS doesn't use the bad blocks.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

no its not running at 1.15ghz! its due to the titan's kernel. Powertop doesnt pick up the proper frequencies. I'm running at 250-750mhz right now. However loading the default frequencies and voltages could not fix the problem.

@shadowjk. thanks for that info. That puts my mind at ease!

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

i have a battery drain problem and its doing my swede in.
browserd is constantly at 30 percent, killall doesnt solve it, reboots dont solve it, as soon as browser is started its like that from there on, cleared hstory,
i think it could be shake and scroll plugin which will not uninstall, any ideas,
how can i uninstall the plugin from command line?
any way of einstalling browser?

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

I didn't take a look at the logs but are familiar with that DSP problem. I helped another guy to track down why he had a high drainage.

He had it overclocked so we thought that was the cause at the beginning.. but after som testing we figured out it was not. We didn't figure out a way to fix it without a complete reflash of both eMMC and FIASCO. So you should try that. He later installed Titans kernel without any problems.. he now have aprox 60mAh in drainage over night.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

managed to uninstall shake and surf extention and rebooted problem solved, moral of the story = dont install shake and surf from ovi store. its crap anyway

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Hi, I hope somebody can help me here, as I am worse than most cases I have read. My battery basically drains at a rate of 1 percent every 1-2 minutes.So yes it drains from 100 percent to 0 percent in max of 5 hours :(

I am usually on GPRS, and I have skype, facebook, and gmail chats running. I also have a few widgets, nothing special. Any hints or help are much apreciated!!

My Catalogs: Nokia, Ovi, maemo.org, Extras, Extras-Devel, Extras-Testing, NITDroid.

I have bought 5 batteries and tried them all, and I also tried an extended battery that came with a special back door, and that one helped a little bit, but the backdoor was HUGE so I decided its not worth it. I have battery graph and Conky, and nothing strange happens in Conky.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

I know the secret of power drainage:

1. Overclock will help solve it (i said this because when i go back to stock, the CPU% are 1 or 2% or 3% up in idle mode but when i overclocked...CPU is always under 1% in idle mode.
2. There is a file called hildon-desktop-2.2.141_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel.deb that you need to download to kill hildon-desktop.

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

Thank for the tip but do you have a link where to download this deb?

Cheers

Update for whoever nee it:

ok i found it here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...559#post868559

Just click on <this>

Re: Methods for determining battery drainage / cause
 

I have just installed it and it still didn't do the trick. as-daemon is still using 88% CPU with as-daemon memory increasing steadly up to 1.3GB of virtual memory.
