[Q] Does Odin require a min % on battery level - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having great success with flashing from Odin lately and just now I got this error message again in asian characters w/c I have no clue what it says.. but at the back of my mind maybe Odin will ask for something like 95% battery for it to flash ?

I've flashed with having less than 50% before so I don't think why you shouldn't be able to do so.
BUT!
I do not recommend that you flash when the battery is not full. It apparently messes up battery readings.

[Q] Battery drain after upgrading from 2.2 to 2.2.1 official

Yesterday I upgraded from official Froyo 2.2 to official Froyo 2.2.1. I made factory reset and restored data and applications WITHOUT system settings. So, everything is the same like in version 2.2. During night (cca. 7 hours) my battery dropped for cca. 50% which never happened on Froyo 2.2. What can be wrong? Is there some additional setting on 2.2.1 turned on which was not existed on 2.2 or something else?
Please, advise. Thanks.

easy solution is to install CWM mode and flash any modem.. i use JPE modem which gives me 37-40 hrs battery life with moderate use
hope this helps
Perhaps you have to go through some charging-cycles. I haven't this on my phone. Certanly on my phone runs CyanogenMod 7 without problems.
bye
Battery drain is not standard on upgrade to stock 2.2 .

I didn't understand you...
EDIT: It also seems that battery is faster charged on 2.2.1 than on 2.2. Strange...
I didn't understand you.
Slowly then Upgrading the firmware from 2.1 to 2.2 does not of itself generate large extra battery drain ..
Read the battery Faq posts and battery drain thread .

My phone running stock 2.2.1 JPY drained like 9% of the battery during a 14 hour "sleep" period, of which like 60% of it was cell standby, and ~20% of was the screen (even though the total screen time was like 4 minutes... stupid power hungry samoled), 12% idle power and 8% wifi. Wifi sleep was set to 'with screen off'. I'm pretty sure the battery indicator was somehow draining power during idle too LOL. So contrary to the '300 hours of standby', I would only be getting around 140 hours. Not much I can do since it's mostly the cell just connecting to towers draining the battery.
With a normal days use I can probably get 2 full days out of it (28 hours 'use' + 8 hours sleep), but I never take the risk and always charge. Of course it depends what I do with it... If I leave the screen on for 5-6 hours of course it's going to drain the battery to 0%, but so far, for the 90% of the time I leave it on sleep mode in my pocket, battery drain is about the same as the stock 2.2 my phone came with.
I managed to flash official Froyo 2.2.1 with I9000ZSJPE modem which have the least battery drain but over night I have same battery drain than before: cca. 60% drop for 7 hours. This never happened on official Froyo 2.2. ...
Maybe the battery needs to be calibrated again.

i'v 144 Apps .. neither the widgets .. do you want me to name it all .. idk someone did that before right .. btw i don't use the Tab during am writing this comment but its still sucks the battery ..
and yes i use WIFI .
overcome tell us the solution for the battery life . but the solution didn't work with me
anyways thanks for ur reply .
btw i didn't type [q] i just thick the ' Is this a question ' ... tnx for your advice ..
I have actually noticed a decline in battery life since I flashed to Overcome. In the few days, before I flashed my tab, I could idle the tab for 10 hours and use like 2% battery. After flashing overcome, I cant get no where near that idle time, and I get just under 10% per hour full usage (games or video playback).
I'm using Overcome 1.6.1, no live backgrounds, and somewhere around 85 apps.

Strange, Ive never had a battery issue on any of the builds, even when overclocked. Its got to be something you have installed and running in background.
Go to settings>phone>about>battery use and it will tell you what using most battery. There is also programs like SystemPanel or Taskkiller etc.
If the [Q] wasn't capitalised then you must have tried to title your topic all i capitals so site reversed it, next time title topics properly

1st of all . the battery charges take so many time to charge full even though if its 95 its take around 15 to 20 mins to full charge .. and when i take the charge it give 99 even if its says the charge full ..
if my tab is off screen its also suck my battery life seriously .. i don't use live wallpaper i only use a normal image .. i don't know what is the problem .. am really thinking to replace overcome .. the prob is i like overcome even if it doesn't support arabic
any ideas
I never got any problems with the battery life in all Overcome roms.
Currently i use Overcome 1.6.1 with 2.1.4 kernel and battery life is good.
Idle overnight with WiFi enabled it uses 6%
Idle overnight with my dataplan it uses 3% and idle time is approx 12 hours.
In the idle time i have my Gmail synced, twitter, weather ect
In full use and full display light i can use my Tab for approx 6 hours.
I have to mention that my Tab is not Oc-ed

.... i hate my tab cuz every week something new need to flash need to wipe need to reset
EDIT .. flashed again with wipe factory and factory rest and nothing happen after i flashed the kernel and the rom
My battery seems to drain fast too
I updated to Kernel 2.15 and Overcome 1.63 last night. It seems to drain 1% every 1.5-2 minutes when I use it with WIFI and 3G on. It drained 6% last night over 6 hours on standby mode (after I shortly pressed the power key).

I know there are some Gallery issues which drains your battery after using it.
But other then that i think some people expecting to much to fast to see some battery life progress on custom roms.
On the first fresh install i had also a drain.
You have to be aware that after a fresh rom install you have to let the battery settle for a couple off charges.
Yesterday i also took a complete reinstall by the guide provided in the Overcome thread.
I did this because i have some issues with FC's on receiving gmails.
After that fresh install and restoring my apps ect.
I went playing with it, first i did 2 hours of surfing over wifi.
Later playing Black Pegasus Modern Combat for 3 hours.
I started of with 67% battery and didn't have the battery calibrated
So after 5 hours of heavy use the Galaxy Tab battery was empty.
This morning i calibrated the battery.
And after a full cycle charge in 2 hours i didn't touch my Tab at all.
After 4 hours i still have 97% battery left.
It is common that when you take your from the charger it instantly drops to 99% (No worry)
So 2% lost in 4 hours in idle standby with 3g on and syncing XDA app every 15min, Twitter every 5 min, email every 30min, Gmail (Push), weather every hour.
I think it's battery life is great.
Beware the screen of our Tab's are using a great deal of battery life.
Even 50% brightness sucks your battery empty.
I have it set on 30% which is good for use in the evening.
Daytime and sunlight it sucks at 30% but since i never use my Tab outside it will work for me.
Hello!
I cant imagine that the battery is draining because of overcome rom or kernel. Since i flashed it my battery life is suprisingly good, even when overclocked!

Same here...
I know there is a Gallary 3d issue when using it your battery is draining.
Alterbridge is working on that.
If people followed the flash and battery calibrate guide Overcome should have a nice battery life.
I don't know what apps people are using at the moment but it could be an app which is poorly written.
guys im flashing overcome even before the guide posted ...
and about the live wallpaper .. i don't use it .. because i use a honeycomb theme
and about the calibrate of the battery i already did it many times from overcome guide or even from the apps in market .. i knw wat am doing .. i never get on in something that i don't know wat exactly means ...
cheers

Problems with Battery on HTC not Rooted: Reinstall of Rom solve this?

Please, i need help:
I have trouble with the battery of my HTC Incredible S.
It reaches 100% but when you disconnect it drops to 95% and is never 100%, and then the burden will fall rapidly.
To calibrate the battery, my HTC need to be root, but it is H1.16 Boot, and does not yet have S-OFF.
The question I want to do is:
If I reinstall 2.3.3 Gingerbread official, I can solve this problem? The installation of the ROM reinstall the binary files as well, so as batterystats.bin?
If the answer is yes, how can I reinstall 2.3.3 Gingerbread, which program should I use and how to choose the right ROM for my HTC?
Thank you for your attention.
I think it's designed that way unfortunately.. Does the battery at least last you the whole day? Measuring the battery by simply looking at how fast it initially drops is really inaccurate. See how long it lasts you instead!
When it reaches 100%, I disconnect of energy and goes to 95%.
I've tried various alternatives to calibrate manually, but failed.
She is always 95% and then falls off quickly.
If my HTC could be root, could solve this.
So I asked if reinstalling gingerbread solves this, and how reinstall and choose correct ROM...
Thanks.
Sorry my english, i'm speak portuguese only...

I would not worry about it. Mine has done the same thing since the day I got it. Mine is S-OFF and rooted and I can get 2 days of use out of a charge, despite the fact that it drops to 95% as soon as I unplug it. As the previous poster suggested look at the overall usage you get out of a charge rather than focusing on that first 5%.
Yeah, nothing to fret unless you are having like really low battery life.
you still can definitely go ahead & install any custom ROM, it would anyhow boost your battery performance

After revert to stock there is massive battery drain.

Hello guys,
I have the follwoing problem. I was on nAa14 with the latest MiniCM, but I started sufferring from massive battery drains from Android System and I decided to go back to stock to see how it handeled.
So I did using SEUS but then the following thing happend. Every time I have data, or Wi-fi on, the battery looses it juice. In a few secounds the phone gives me the 15% message, then 9% then 5% and it turns off.
If I do not touch it (i mean turn the data and wifi off), the phone gives me nearly 2 days battery life with making a fair ammount of calls. I tried a secound time and reinstalled the stock rom via SEUS but there was no change.
Could this be caused by a leftover file from nAa kernel or MiniCM.... Some new driver or... I don't know as I am a potato and a noob
Please help.

Just flash the stock firmware and kernel, and see if it solves the problem. If not then you have a dead battery on your hands.
I also have the same problem, it also seems to happen at 30 percent. I'm pretty sure we need to change our battery

Well its the easiest way to see if it is rom/kernel related or if something is wrong with the hardware.

ok thank you. just one more question just to be safe, should i just download the firmware from sammobile and flash via odin in download mode right?
and another fellow here advised me to calibrate my battery to check if its hardware or software. he told me to charge to 100% and delete this file data/ system / and delete BatteryStats.bin use to 0% and then charge 100%. should i do it before going stock or not?
had the same issue a few days back (f2 stock rom and kernel), battery dropped from 17% to 0 within a few seconds.
but this occured only once, the next cycle was ok, so i guess it was a calibration issue!

Easiest to try battery calibration first. If that doesn't work after a couple of cycles then just flash the stock rom from Sammobile using Odin.

There are 3 possible reasons this happens - broken phone, broken battery or software problem.
I think the first one is unlikely so you need to figure out which of the last 2 is.
Make a back up of your current rom and install an official TW software. If this still doesnt fix your problem, its most likely the battery. A new genuine battery is around 20$.
PS - i think that the battery stats bin file is automatically deleted once you fully charge the battery anyway but you can still try it altough i doubt it will fix it.

same problem here
And here.
This is typical of a dead battery. Your best bet is to buy a new one.
Less than a year is short but not unheard of. Overheating (especially when 100% full), deep discharge, very intensive use (especially with quick charging) and manufacturing defects all can kill a battery.
I'm on CM12.1 with this problem. I've tried battery calibration and tried a new battery but its still apparent.
Will be trying a factory reset as my last resort.
This is happening to 2 phones in my household it started after the upgrade to 5.0.1 one note is Tmobile the other sprint....highly doubt we both developed battery problems RIGHT after we both ota upgraded.
Same here at ~13%.
I do always either fast charge or QI charge.
So far I've tried:
- Battery calibration
- Bought new battery
- Factory reset
Still happens!!
Maybe I'll try TW flash or modem change
Weird, I have this exact same problem as the original post. I'm running BOC5 on the 9105. It's a sporadic problem only occurring on occasion
