since the update the battery drainage of my XA2 Ultra is completely erratic
one day i may have it as low as 20% discharging in 24 hours
though at mostly 75% over 24 hours it is very high (much higher than previously)
in these 24 hours the phone usage is mostly the same, a few phone calls a few SMS and reading a few emails, a few web page opened, nothing else
what can be done ?
this added to a rather slower response of the web browser makes me wonder where is the improvement
Hey, I experienced massive battery drainage after updating my XA2 from 4.6 to 5.0. I couldn’t figure out what caused the drainage. After some days, I decided to reflash my phone. One hour of work and it works like a charm now. Way faster than with 4.6 and normal battery behavior again.
Look in Taskview with apps like Crest to see if there is a task or process that has a high CPU load or runtime
@teertinker
reflashing, why not but i do not know how to do that on a device with a running SfOs
@fingus
i thought Crest was not working since 4.* version (at least i cannot install it since that version)
Lighthouse does only show some process(some look like being not displayed) with almost 0% cpu usage
and i do no know of any other app doing this task
Top command with root?
So this is crying after a Long-Term Observation Tool or daemon that identifies the energy-hungry process(es)."
i managed to install Crest from openrepos version 1.12-1
i cannot see any app over a few percent
except sailfish-browser -prestart at 6% when the browser is open
yes and many other things
it looks every corrected bug induces something likes 2 new ones
I have xperia 10 lll and I praised battery drain after previous update. Now battery again drains very fast.
FWIW it could be the battery is showing signs of age, as it did with my XA2 Ultra.
I have a replacment lying around here since I switched devices, pm if interested
Works fine here. Installed from Openrepos.
But as far as I know CPU scaling etc. works differently on phones so a CPU usage of 75% might just be a sign of the system switching off unused cores.
