[Q] Battery Usage Details for Display

Hello i have searched everywhere and could not find an answer for my question.
I have Galaxy S I9000 16GB with Darkys Latest Rom 9.1 Froyo 2.2.1
My battery does not last a day with normal use of the phone.I have tried every setting that people have suggested(wifi off,data network off..haptic feedback off,screen power saver on...charging until full turned off and using it till phone shuts down and then recharging to full level..)I have found that in Battery usage details Display uses 75% and even when adjusting display settings to lowest 11%Brightness or automatic brightness it does not fall under 75% i saw someone had 45% Display usage in battery info..
Could someone please give me any ideas what to do?Phone is 2 months old its brand new..

the only way to get a low battery usage % is by making other stuff consume a lot of power. that of course doesn't help battery lifetime

Try another rom .
Did you have same battery life on stock rom when new .

Update
Hi guys just to let everyone know battery life has improved dramatically after installing darkys latest rom (9.2 extreme edition) Love it.Battery lasts Almost 3 days with normal usage!!Am VERY Happy!!

My weird battery

hey guys.. I need your help here.. My galaxy s can only last with display on for around 2 hours.. Is it normal? Oh I'm running Darky's Rom v9.2.. Need your help guys.. Thank you very much..

I don't think 2 hours is normal no
So that means you have something draining your battery fast, some app or anything you just installed?

There are many problems posted resolving to batt drainage so look around on the forum since we don't know what apps or other stuff you do with your phone but it sure ain't normal.
Did you flash Darky's ROM with 100% battery? Maybe try charging it fully when your phone is off, then wipe batt stats, drain your phone and charge again.

If you did not have the problem before then its the rom you flashed or a bad flash .

I need a ROM :S

Hello everybody,
and first of all SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !!!
I have my Galaxy S now since 10 Months and i try over 10 ROMs but
I didn´t find a ROM with a good battery life...
I really need help
Which ROM has the best battery life ?
What can I do for a better battery life ?
10 minutes ago i was with Wlan in the Market, and after 10mins my
battery lost 6%.. Is that normal ?

The Battery lost of 6% in 10min, is pretty normal, because the WLAN need very much of the battery life.
I tested many rom's and in my opinion has the Darky's Rom & cm7 a very good Batterylife.

The modem controls the battery drainage, signal etc..not the ROM! Flash a rom you enjoy then CWM a solid modem that hooks up with your area!

6% is a little bit too much. I suggest you to check "battery use" in about to see who consume battery the most. For me, it is "Display". And just as graw91 said, WLAN uses battery a lot.

To control brightness of the display is the Screen filter app very good.

[Q] my battery drains so fast in froyobread, why?

i have used Froyobread v.023b on my X8 for a week or more, since then, my battery drains very fast.. my battery phone only last for 8-9 hour!
I use my phone for daily use only, just for some sms and listening to music, i dont use wifi, sometimes use 2G/3G, but my battery drains so fast!
people say that froyobread was good and people in froyobread forum say their battery last long..
What's wrong with my phone??
I also have tried to push smartass governor, reduce brightness, calibrate my battery but nothing works!
please help me..

I have the same problem like you, but I use Ginger DX! I do all you do ( battery calibration, 3g of...... ) my battery drain for 10 hours! I put the phone in Airplane Mode and everything is OK! I change my SIM card , but battery drain is fast too !!! So on monday I will go to the service to repair my prohe ! May be you have to do that too !

in my little research.. the main factor that cause the battery drain is quality of signal.... people who has green bar of quality (in Config>About>Battery Use>Graph) normally has a good battery....
in my case.. i have a brown bar... and my battery last maybe a day with little use.....
but guys... the battery charge so fast, and is Li-Poly, you can always charge it.

I think you should try full wipe and think about the options of the x8 . It hasnt a big battery and listen to music always uses a lot of power.

yeah, i think the quality signal causes fast battery draining, maybe i should switch to other operator which has better area coverage in my country
it's also true that we can always charge our battery because it is Li-Poly, but it is annoying to see my battery drain so fast, while some people are happy with their last long battery life..
thankyou anyway

then how it is when you use Froyobread v.17? Is your battery last long? if yes, maybe i should use froyobread v.17 too, not froyobread v.23b

[Q] Extreme battery drain

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 !
