What makes you want to go back to .211

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I haven't been getting that good battery performance as i thought i would. Which is why installed the leak. Compared to .211 im not seeing much of advantage in battery life. For example I'm going from 100% - 90% with the lowest display settings synced to wifi just texting on and off for an hour. I've done the partition wipe more then 3x and it still the same.

For example I'm going from 100% - 90% with the lowest display settings synced to wifi just texting on and off for an hour.

Not sure where I first read of this, nor am I bright enough to understand how or why it would help, but it seems to do just that.

Give this a try:

After charging the phone to 100%, and before disconnecting the power cord from the phone, turn it on, un-lock the screen and use the phone a little (check weather, read some tweets...anything), then turn it back off and unplug it.

It is said that there is a bug of some sort that prevents the phone from going into 'deep sleep' and that unplugging it before turning it on causes it to use the battery heavily during the early part of the discharge cycle and results in a sharp decline from 100% to 90%. Many of the screenshots posted will show that drop and then a more gradual slope as the discharge cycle continues.

If any of you can provide a techy explanation of 'deep sleep' or explain how /why this works, please do!

Edit: Oooops, just realized this might cause a calamitous case of thread drift...sorry.

So let me.get this order straight, plug in>100%>turn screen on>check stuff>turn screen off>unplug. Is that right?

Yep. I've been trying it lately and I'm uncertain re results. Would appreciate feedback.

Slight problem. I get to the last step, that SHOULD begin the update process, but it gives me another screen. My options are:
../
META-INF/
patch/
recovery/
system/

Which one do I select?

Edit: Nevermind. My windows brain took over where I always need to unzip the contents of a zipped folder. Deleted the unzipped folder and put the zipped folder in. Updating now...

If I want to revert back to .211 do I need to have usb debugging mode on?

Yeah you should have just put the whole zip on the card, glad you got it figured out.

this is why people tend to see a sharp decline after unplugging from a charger. aside from monitoring voltage when nearing the end of your charge cycle, its nearly unavoidable not to get a sharp decline.

[escott63]

if that does not work you'll need to do a factory reset for it to work. I experienced it with the latest .211 update. Hope that helps.

I am not seeing that great of battery life either. During the day with the phone on my desk at work I noticed I was losing about 3 - 4% battery each hour. (at the end of 12 hours I am down to 50%) Depending upon which battery monitoring app I used, it would either show the kernel at around 20-30% use or the Android System at about the same level.

To distinguish between a bad signal or rouge app I put the phone in Airplane mode. Still had the same level of drain. I did another wipe and factory reset and just installed a few widgets from the market. Again still had about the same drain with the Android OS at 25%. The only apps I used was the stock alarm, stock music player, and downloaded ES File Manager. The widgets were a clock/with weather and Widgetdroid. That's it.

Tonight I did another factory reset, and I am not going to install anything and just use the stock music player and track the battery drain when the phone is just sitting.
Any Suggestions?

I have been on the same battery charge since monday morning and I still have 50% battery left. I have been texting, calling and surfing the web also. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy user but I do use my phone moderately. I did install a 4g toggle app from the play store and I have been using that to switch to CDMA auto(prl) so not sure if that is the main reason for the long battery life but I know with my regular razr I was lucky to get a day out of the battery but now with the maxx it has been good. The only thing I haven't done is install Facebook again since I got my maxx but that is probably something I am going to try with the next battery charge to see how much that affects my battery life.

make sure it is your ex-sd card and not your internal

[clownin72]

Anymore confirmation of better signal or if the radio is even different, I need something for 3g data drops and poor overall signal

I've been running this leak for two weeks now both rooted and unrooted and I've noticed very little battery improvement. What I have noticed is a snappier OS. My phone signal was never strong but never a problem, and I've noticed no difference there either.

Should I unzip the file first before installing?

i use Juice Defender Plus, it cuts off data when the screen is off. it takes less than 10 seconds to get it back when i cut the screen on. the only data im dropping is intentional... no worries or complaints on my end.

This is a continuation from my last battery screen shot post from yesturday. Moderate-Heavy use synced to wifi running leak .215 haven't plugged it into the charger yet. Still haven't made it to day 2 on a full charge.

After a new factory reset and wipe x2 of the cache, and installing no apps or updates from the play store. The only thing I used was the alarm and did a few texts. After 13 hours I am down to 60% battery. However I spent 3 hours in Airplane mode with all the radios turned off.



I still think something is running in the background eating the battery, my drain rate is about 3% an hour, while in Airplane mode, it still seem to be around 3%, so I don't believe it's all signal related. I guess I can always root and see what happens. I might try and go back to .211 and do the same tests for comparison to see if .215 does offer any benefit.
