just notice battery drain is getting worse when i tested after i charge my i9000 and left it overnight... at first, it only consume 1% after 5 hours of idle (while i was sleeping).... recently i notice it drained about 5%... an increment of 4% without any usage... does anyone here have the same problem? could it be hardware problem or should i flash a newer version of firmware to test it out? i've turned bluetooth, wifi, gps, 3g/edge off... meaning that i should have nothing running in the background... not even backup...
Under battery history (easily accessible thru SGS tools or Spare Parts), is Gallery reported as using the sensor while your phone is on standby?
My battery drains about 1% every 10 hours of standby. I had to do some tweaks however - flashed back from JPO to JM9. I'm running OCLF lag fix and 'advanced task killer' to get rid of unwanted processes. maybe this could help...

Hi experts here,
I am new i9000 user coming from G2.
I flashed XXJPK for days, found that my battery drops very fast.
I stop all data access at night and the battery still drops...
I found that the 'Display' uses > 80% !! (even when I slept for 8 hours)
Attached is the screen cap of my battery stats..
Do anyone has the same issue?
This is Android Development, not Questions & Answers! Please post in the right sections!
What have you installed after JPK? Task killer? Lag fix?
Mine is not doing that. I did a hard-reset yesterday, installed my apps (no task killer, no root, no lag fix) and disabled everything (WiFi, bluetooth, GPS, 3G, autosync). Battery did not drop even 1% in 6 hours.
Display should not take any battery if it's off. Maybe you have something that awakes the phone constantly. Check autorefresh on weather, e-mail, twitter, news feeds... I usally have that disabled or set to 8 hours minimum.
got the same problem here.. i do got the docrom (custom rom) ,auto killer installed and lagfix (OCLF v2+) it goes from 100% to about 60% in 9 houres.. without doing a thing.. on top of that i got juicedefender ultimate installed.. but it doesnt seem to help at all..
The problem is why the 'Display' uses > 80% while I off the screen for hours?
Got the same problem here. I just reverted back to jm8 (eclair 2.1) with takayuma Rom.. I think all froyo versions have battery draining issue
I think, you guys must make this and maybe fix battery issue:
Refreshing battery stats after Odin or flashing (important)
or me personal, for my Galaxy very helpfull was this HTC Desire methode:

I'm having exactly same problem with you. My brightness is 75% even in sleep mode and it drains the battery. I guess thats the main culprit to solve my battery draining issue. I wonder why it happens to certain people, because some users only have 48% for brightness and their battery can last more than a day
** apparently using Eclair 2.1 doesn't solve the issue as my brightness is still 70% ... I've tried the batterystats.bin fix and same thing happens. Damn !

It's true. JM8 and the battery fix doesn't help.
But I found that when I turn my connection from 3G mode to Wifi mode, my battery drops only 10% overnight.
I think there is some problem in the 3G connection.
Do you think this is kernel related?
One way to keep the drain down is getting a black theme such as the Transparent theme and setting a black background. Because of the AMOLED screen black is basically 'pixel off'. It helps just a bit.
I have similar experiences with WiFi vs. 3G, 3G drains battery awfully fast whereas WiFi seems to be consuming significantly less power.
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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
Hey guys,
Can please anybody help me with my battery problem in Darkys 5.6 Rom? This night I lost 47% within 8 hours in standby with only wifi on all the time. With the stock JPO with OCLF installed i only had battery drain of 1-2% per hour with the same wifi configuration. Does anybody has this problem, too?
check if any program prevent your phone go to sleep.
under partial awake
There is nothing special. On the top was Android System with really little use...
i have the same problem. in just ~2h i lost ~ 30% in standby with no wifi or something else and ~180mb free ram. i have the same apps that i used in other builds without problems. so.... ?
I have same issue.. i have everything disabled.. from GPS to Data service.. believe me everything.. I even keep my brightness at zero...
Still every 15 mins.. I see the battery bar going down.. I dont sms .. I just turn on the screen to see the battery
Me again:
I flashed on Darkys 6.0 and flashed the BUJP5_Modem.zip, too. After that i deleted the batterystats with sgs tools, but I still got battery drain of 4% per hour... In the partial awake there is only Android System with 8 min 47 sec...
I've been experiencing huge troubles with Wifi battery usage after installing OTA update. This is a huge problem, because I have to always keep charging phone while at home. When using default version 2.2.1, my phone used 2-3% of battery per hour while idling with screen disabled and connected to wifi network. After updating to Gingerbread it consumes 6-7% of battery each hour using the same settings. Battery life with wifi disabled is comparable or even better than with Froyo. There are no power hog apps in battery monitoring and performing factory reset hasn't changed anything.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks.
Hello!
Your issue is weird, my Inc S is performing better in terms of battery consumption with 2.3.3 than the stock ROM...
Have you tried to make a full "fresh" install of the 2.3.3 ROM ? I read somewhere that sometime, OTA updates are messing up with your phone.
Try this ROM : http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1033922&v=1&libid=1305916498140&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2Fcb17e37%2Fn%2FRUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_signed.exe&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fforumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D1028&title=%5BROMs%5DIncredible%20S%20Shipped%20ROMs%20Collection%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2Fcb17...295_signed.exe
After flashing, do a battery calibration :
1. Let the phone drain all the battery until it just can't boot anymore; When it turns off by itself, turn it on again and again until it won't start,
2. Take off the battery for at least 1min,
3. Put back the battery, let the phone off, and put it in charge for the night,
4. Once it's fully charged, take off the battery for at least 1min,
5. Put back and turn it on.
Hope this helps!
I am having the same problem....Have you managed to fix it?
my note is draning 1 percent every 10 minutes
when in standby
after downloading cpu spy i discovered that deep sleep was 1% and 200MHZ was 84%
it has something to do with it?
also in battery usage
android os is 57%
any fix?
by the way
im running ics stunner rom
The Note's battery is a POS... If you want to partially solve it you'll have to keep both wifi and data off.
i kind of found a way now deep sleep is on
but what do you mean POS
Have you changed anything in the last days? Installed any suspicious apps, or changed any settings?
If you found the problem now, then maybe you can also calibrate your battery just in case it "lost" some performance. To be sure!
Use Battery calibration or wipe Battery stats in Recovery, Anvanced menu (after you fully charged your device).
