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.
Since every thread and post I read there is quite number of pages of battery drain problems.
Please take few minutes and answer this little poll so I can get some idea about battery problem and people who post problems. I'm not here to judge on anybody's phone usage or to tell how to use it, but this pull can help in some way developers about this problem.
in 1st option should be tried phone after that and saw problem, only 1 recharge was
Rom being used may well have a lot to do with the problems of battery drain .
So 90% with bad battery drain does not mean bad battery if they are all using the same rom .

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!!
Hi,i use ficeto´s jvh rom and my battery is very fast down.when i go to about phone>battery use have i 49% displaj and friend have wildfire and he have only 2%.how to solve this?
i didn want to say this,.. but this is stupid question.
If you use your device long time.. then sure the display gets higher priority in battery usage. Even you dont do anything it consumes battery.
It must be something consumes the most.
Your friend have rarely used his phone at the moment you checked with his.
but where is problem?4 hours and from 100% to 32% and i don´t play game and when i sleep battery lost 34%
MULTIPLE posts on battery drain use search and read them .

guys i dont know wtf is this ...my phone battery is 100 when i shut it down and reboot it is 14 %..after another reboot it is 50%..and in a custom recovery while flashing a custom rom and during the first boot IT NEEDS MORE THAN 30 % ..it drains more thatn 15% just while flashing a ROM..(viper rom etc..)
now while normal using the battery doesnt drain like hell..it gives me 5 hours SOT or even 6 ..what i notice that my device is heating up like hell in nomral using (facebook messnger and facebook and whatsapp)NO BACKGROUND APPS RUNNING just these apps..
do you think i have a bad board ?or i have a dead battery ?
Hi TS, Im not an expert on any of this but what I suggest is to download and install an app to check you battery usage from full to atleast 10% to have a better look into things. It most likely that something is making your processor to run in full resulting in need of lot of juice and making your battery heating much.
Also as far as I understand, it can also be factored by the kernel you are using.
Again im no expert so please be guided accordingly.

Flashing ROMs and booting for the first time drains a lot and your phone heats like hell while updating apps. That's normal. Facebook mesenger and whatsapp are known to be really big battery drainers, and if they drain your battery, they heat up your phone too. If you can get 4-5 hours SOT on one charge, you don't have to worry about the state of your battery - it's good
