I've updated to DOC & Kalpik's new v6 from 5.1.1, and charged 100% before I went to sleep. In the morning(6,5 hours) the battery was 79% with screen off, wifi on(never sleep).
Even if wifi was on, I don't think it's normal(3g should eat more), so I wiped the system. Now I'll put the applications back day by day, and let you, and other people know what eats the battery.
Okay, a bit of an update:
If in 6 hours battery dropped 20%, battery should drop 3% in 1 hour. I was letting phone alone for 1 hour, and battery dropped 4%!!!!
Completely new system, it's newly wiped v6. Spare parts says: running 30%, screen on: 30%. No app, that uses cpu too much.
Installed applications:
- Spare part, Swiftkey keyboard, Astro, Battery indicator, autokiller.
wifi on : never sleep. Stock adw.
Any idea what eats the battery? I just wiped the system from clockwork!!
Froyo, that's what.

Is it?
With Doc's rom it shouldn't be a problem. It's highly optimised to battery consumption. I remember having version 5f of that ROM, and battery life was excellent! I don't know what happened...
1% battery drain every 3 MINUTES
One more thing I have to add:
I have 1% battery drain every 3 MINUTES if I'm browsing stock browser. Now that's waaaaaay too much!
What I do wrong?? Or is it normal?!

Battery life
I managed 6 days straight hehe with old style phone use, no gaming, no serfing, just 5-10min call time avg per day, a bt headset connected 5hrs avg per day, screen brightnes set to auto. Just once connected over wifi to download 1-2 apps and 10mb files. Fully charged on Saturday around 1pm, empty battery today about 2pm. While idle the battery drops 1% every 6hrs.
Won't do it again though, cause this is not what the phone is made for , i realy missed it during this test
You will get 1% per 3 minutes of high cpu and screen use (browsing)
It ends up at about 100-0% in 5 hours
That is what I usually get out of my battery on all firmwares, watching video's last longer though, 6+ hours

i have the same problem...
last week when i was testing doc/kalpik's or 2.1 rom i got 3% out of 6hrs standby.
last night it drained 25% on sleep! (maybe sleep is disabled somehow? or a tweak that is preventing it from sleeping properly?)
anywho.. before all this happened i noticed that the phone started to lagg (not the normal pause or two.. you could not do anything without it lagging..) it started to drain the battery (1% every 1-2min, screen on but not doing anything).. it went back to normal when i disabled usb debugging mode.. (very strange)
maybe there is a fix to this?
cheers
hello,
i've had my SGS for a little over a week now. from day one i noticed battery drain but i thought it was normal for a new device. i flashed darky's 10.1 extreme on the second day i got it because it was very slow and had a lot of bloatware ( i wasnt very patient and i flashed at 95% or 96% battery), the drain was still there. i let it go through a few recharge discharge cycles and no improvement, so i used an app from the market called "batterycalibration" by marosige, no improvement and it the reading would drop to 99% or 98% after taking it off the charger.
i did a little digging and discovered i had the android os bug (was over 50% usage usually) so i used titanium to wipe software update and samsung account, and froze the first, didnt help by much
i then flashed darky's again at 100%, and now it still reads full charge after removing charger and android os bug i gone (reads 4% system and 4% os), but drain was still there. i emptied it to the point it couldnt turn on anymore then charged it from wall charger while turned off to 100% while i slept
i woke up and tested it by playing a game (Blastmonkeys) for like 20 mins and the battery went down to 90%, that was less than 2 hours ago, and now its at 87% and it was completely idle
notes:
my brightness is turned all the way down with no animations but display reads 54%, wifi is usually on when im home but battery stats show 6% wifi so i dont think its a big problem
also, the device was bought locked in france by someone else and im in egypt, so i dont know anything about warranty..
im sorry for the long post but i tried to be as detailed as possible...
hello,when i upgraded my sgs to 2.3.3 i also got battery drain and android os was consuming hell lot of cpu about 70%,..,.,then i flashed 2.3.4 jvp i didnt get any battery drain in that firmware then i upgraded it to 2.3.4 jvq this also donot have ny battery drain..,,.i recommend u to flash it and try it once
will try, but isnt darky only compatible with JVH? what happens if i change to JVQ?

see jvp and jvq are bug fixing firmwares and i didnt use any custom rom ,..,i have stock firmware which i just rooted and didnt use any mod or rom.,,.,.jvp and jvq are stable roms diffrence between the both is that in jvq browser is improved gallery improvement,.,..,etc
As far as I know, the percentage not being 100% after unplugging is normal. To prevent wear on the battery, the phone cuts the charger after reaching 100%, and restarts charging when it reaches ~95%.
I don't think a 3% drop in battery over 2 hours is uncommon. Wifi and data connection will pull a lot of power if on, even in standby.

Normal, this phone drains about 20% battery per hour of screen use, slightly less when watching video.
2-3% drain over 2 hours is also pretty normal if you have wifi/sync on.

I just got my SIM card replaced today. The one I had used before was about 12 years old. So whenever you-re having battery issues, make sure your SIM card is not the cause for it .
I am experiencing an extreme battery drain with ALL the roms i tried.
The battery lasts maximally 5h, with 20-40mins of 3g browsing.
Currently at 38%, display max brightness, 2h 12mins usage,78% in battery use / Opera Mobile usage 22 m
ins, 9% in battery use.
13h since last recharge (i went to sleep).
Also my battery magically charges itself while on standby, up to 4% per hour.
Im pretty sure my battery is calibrated, even if it isnt it would give me the same power.
Also it heats up to 59c (even when i wasnt on 1.2GHz kernel)
I think u need a new batt. Same thing was happening with the iphone and untill i've replaced the bat the same thing happened.
.
Thought so.
Will flash stock 2.3.5 or should i flash 2.3.3, which is the latest official for my network?
I think it doesnt matter...
Well the guys in the service are a$$es so it will take them about 2 weeks for it...
i'm not sure tere is such thing as stock 2.3.5 and i think only MIUI has this. Last is 2.3.4 but i might be wrong.
There is xxjvs that is a 2.3.5 firmware
No your battery isnt wrecked neither magic took place its just that ypur battery stats are messed up!
Fixing them-fully recharge your battery until it shows 100% then switch your phone off and then let it charge for another 1 minute then go to recovery mode( you have cwm recovery right?) Then go to advamced then delete battery stats from their and reboot your phone ! Then for best result ypu can fully drain your battery to nil unt it switches off! Your battery stats should be now fully fixed ! Dont worry for deleting battery stats system will make them again in a few minutes or on a reboot !

Hi,
I know there's a whole bunch of threads on battery life, but I cant seeing info that mentions the rate at which the screen consumes battery.
Anyway, I charged my phone from 1% to 100% last night and when I disconnected and started to use it, the battery had dropped by 4% with just 8mins of onscreen time (WiFi).
Is this battery depletion rate normal? (1% every 2mins, effectively around 3hrs)
Thanks
The battery doesn't actually charge to 100%. It's dangerous. The fact that it states 100% is just for show. It actually only charges to around 96% which is why it drops so fast at the beginning.

I have about the same battery discharge rate (1% for about 2 minutes of screen time with wifi). If it is on standby then it only drop 1% for every 2 hrs.
rstaux slergyman;
I see.
Thanks for the info.
Just out of curiosity, why is it dangerous?

My Note does not fit this pattern. It takes 6 hrs on standby to drop from 100% to 99% and then 1% drop after that for every 2 hrs on standby.
I too charge to 100％ or whatever 96％ with my wifi on for 15 min and it droped to 97％ no bad thogh

Wow, installed Juice Defender and have just reached the 24hr mark with moderate use.
Usage: 25-30% brightness, WiFi, GPS, Facebook, Web Browsing, Texts.
I still have over 50% battery life remaining
If consumption continues at this rate, I'll be able to get 2 days battery life which from a modern smart phone is pretty astonishing
Battery Life is too short
Didn't want to create yet another Battery Thread;
I'm getting lousy batter life.
I'll disconnect my SGN ICS at 7.30am and it's bellow 30% by 2.00pm.
I know I have A LOT of apps installed, but the Battery shows minimal consumption; it's always Display as the top consumer, with 31% responsibility.
My GSN has an unusual origin; it started with a CSC TTT which is from Trinidad and Tobago. I followed these instructions to the letter and got myself a working ICS SGN.
I was worried that by loading a European CSC would have adverse effects on an Mexican Network.
I don't know why, or how, but after the flash, I'm still with the TTT CSC.
The device performs flawlessly, except for the battery consumption.
Is it possible that flashing this ROM/CSC is responsible for the poor battery life?
I really enjoy ICS and would prefer not to go back to GB.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Yeh mt battery is kinda the same. I browse alot but not on my phone all day but i deffo have to charge ny phone once a day or even twice at times. Abit of a joke and im wondering what else can i do. I have updated to ics and no difference.

My SGN battery drops 1% for every 6 hr on standby however it drop 1% for every 2 minutes of screen time and wifi.
Juice Defender (free)
Gave Juice Defender a try.
the App recommends to allow for "a couple of days"; I'm guessing it adapts.
I've always been skeptical of "Battery Booster" apps.
Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have improved my battery life.
It's not "born-again christian" life changing, but there's definitely an improvement.
I'll try it for a week or so before I decide whether the ultimate edition is worth it.
I keep switching my cellphone off while not using, and same goes for wifi. Using it as a secondary phone as well. It lasts only 4-6 hours.. :S I keep closing background apps, and kill app once im done with it..
Hi,
So I bought an Anker 1800mah battery about two months ago, thought that would improve battery life.
Thing is, even though I own the I9000 a very long time, I don't know how battery life should be.
So my question is...
For example, if I have data and GPS on and screen on, is it normal that I get 1% drain every 1.5-2 minutes?
Using ICS CM9.

Turn gps off and set brightness to around 20%. You should then lose 1% roughly every 3:30 - 4:00 minutes.
Weird I lose 1% every 10 min sometimes more

Hi all,
First, from what I remember, my old battery acted somewhat the same. Also, I used it for a year and a half, and have totally destroyed it because of all the calibrations. By a calibration I mean draining the battery to 0%, charging to 100%, doing it about 3-4 times... Only later I have learned that it is not healthy to the battery to do that so many times. That's why I only did this 3 times with my new battery (Manufacturer instructions).
Now, thing is, I gave the example with the data and GPS on and screen on because I used GPS for navigations a lot of times. So, I can't turn off GPS. About the brightness, its set to automatic all the time, so I see no reason to modify it myself.
I'm currently using CM9 Blueberry edition but I'm planning to change to JB in a few days. Even though I doubt it, any chance battery life will improve with JB?
Latrop, with the same settings? Having data + GPS + screen on all the time (10 min)? Are you sure?
Mine did not sure bout yours
