Hi,
im having battery drain problems the phone wont last more than 5-6 hours send 20-30 texts listen to some music, i have turned off backgroud data and live wallpapers, im using something called advanced task killer free to kill the apps that are running, but i close them the re open the task bar and stuff like music player has reopened
ive also seen a post about which batterys are better is there a better one i can buy? my batterys a G7
any ideas ?
cheers
Stop using the task kiler and you'll probably see better battery life. Task killers have been proven more harmful than helpful on the newer versions of android so using it is pointless. Also pay attention to what you have synced and how often. tons of web apps synching will drain the battery faster, as will having the gps and wifi turned on--if you're not using them, disable them.
thanks for the reply i will remove the task manager,
auto sync is turned off and i only use email by refreshing the inbox

In short: Have you recently updated via Kies to JPY version? If so, stop using your wifi. There is a bug with wifi with this newest firmware.
hi,
i update to 2.2.1 through kies
Do you use wifi?
If yes, switch to data, battery life will be better. You should be able to get around 48h of light active usage (i mean browsing and calling and what not) with 3g data on.
i dont really use the wifi, signals really good around me, i only got the phone friday, brought it of a friend,
charged the phone fully before i went out last night about 7pm by 1.30am the phone had cut off, that was only using the facebook andriod app and sending text messages.
Than there is something terribly wrong. Do a wipe and factory reset, if you didnt after getting a device from your friend.. It seems that some application misbehaves and drains battery.
You can check it by typing *#*#info#*#* in dialer
Several options there, if there is something strange you will see it. (suggest looking into Battery history, usage statistics)
i dont know how to type in dialer sorry sounds very stupid all i have are digits

Have you tried reconditioning your battery yet?

From the above post:

About my battery life:
Previously I was on Darky's v5, with that the phone lasted 2-3 days with normal usage.
After flashing to v7 (with 100% battery) I also got the fast drainage problem. Here is what I did:
1) Turn OFF phone
2) Charge till it says it is FULL
3) Start in RECOVERY
4) WIPE battery stats
5) RESTART android (yes, it might already be on 98% or so)
6) USE phone heavily. Don't worry if it drops too fast. Use it till the Android system turns OFF automatically (it happens when your battery is below 1% - for me the phone was on 1% for about 40 mins. This is where it heavily myscalculated
7) PLUG IN your charger, TURN ON android and wait till it is FULLY charged again. (It is better if you don't use the phone at this charging up)
Now, after you disconnect the charger, you should still have 100% for some time (I've been using the phone for 32 mins - writing this post - and it is still on a hundred percent) and with this, I got back the 2-3 days battery life with normal usage.
Also, you should set WiFi to: "Never when plugged in" and by default I disable Data Network. But my phone is using WiFi all the time so it doesn't really matter
So to summerize this method, the key is to show the phone the battery's minimal capacity too, by using it till it is on null. Because with charging to 100% than wiping or flashing only introduces the maximum capacity to the system and the minimum is only guessed. THIS gives the faulty reportes and makes us think the phone drains too fast.
Try this method, than feel free to share your results

This may not be the exact case you are having, but the idea is the same. Give it a shot.
nvm, 'info' stands for '4636'
You could also use titanium backup and freeze some apps from running

Having the same problem
Hey, I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Have you found a solution yet? I deleted the task killer just now, but did that work for you?
Thanks.
Same problem
hi
I have the same problem. I bought it 2-3 days ago. today i charged it full while fone was off, switched on at around 8AM my usage detail was
3g was on
gmail on sync
skype on sync
5-10 min of skype calling
5 min of normal calling
5-10 min of facebook browsing through android app
30 min of chatting on skype
at 2PM the fone was at 20% battery. My wifi and gps were off all day.
is there anything i can do to get atleast 15 hours of battery with normal use
regards
harris
If you are having issues with your battery, before you try killing tasks, changing setting and what not and especially if you are running custom ROMs, then you need to recondition your battery. The same goes for anyone who is having high drain issues.
If you follow the steps I posted from someone else's post and then find that your battery is not having issues, then start looking at your modem (if using a custom ROM or you've upgraded to new firmware).
ive done a factory restore, ive found what my usage says idle 4% the display 80%
contrast is switched right down
i know im not using any custom roms im using the firmware that you download through kies

still should try it first
I'd suggest posting this question in the Galaxy S general forum as you'll get a lot more responses
Same here
Data network activated (2g or 3g) phone die after 11 hours.
When data network deactivated phone die after 2 days!
I installed whatsapp, gtalk and one email account with 10 mins refresh.
I never use wifi.
Drain 7 - 8 % per hour when phone idle (Phone on with 3g data but without using it)
I really don't know how to "finger pointing" suspicion app via battery history.

Why is the battery drain on this phone soo bad?! I bought a 3900mah extended battery and i still cannot go a whole day without killing my battery! WTF, and i dont even use it that much. Im on stock Gingerbread v20p update.

look at your battery stats
i have noticed that in my battery states that my phone stays "AWAKE" even when the screen is turned off for an extended period of time. I noticed that YAHOO! Mail app has a tendency of running constantly in the background keeping it awake. I noticed better life after uninstalling it.
SETTINGS / APPLICATIONS/ BATTERY USE then click on the small graph and tilt your phone to see it in landscape. Notice the change in the graph when your phone is awake vs. asleep.
I wish there was an app that told me when certain programs keep your phone "AWAKE" when the screen is off. That IMO, is the the real culprit!
Had a similar issue. Found google maps feasting on my battery when I wasn't looking. Kept turning it off but it would just turn back on till I noticed again. I figured out it was other apps with location services kicking it on. So I found a handy permissions editor from the play store and blocked the permissions to any app that wanted a location service. I also uninstalled any redundant apps that where stock but never used. Just went all day today on the stock battery with no need to charge.

do you remember the name of the app you used?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
i saw on other forums that an XDA developer wrote a great app called BETTERBATTERYSTATS. search XDA for it. it is free, but if you get it off of Google play it will cost a few dollars.
Using it I noticed that my Wifi was trying to turn itself on, but for some reason, at times, my wifi will not connect. if you force it, it just blinks at you 5 times and never turns on. Well, I think that some apps that use your wifi will turn it on, then if it wont connect, it continues to try until your battery dies.
I've had this issue with Bluetooth at times too. So since i rooted my phone, i have installed QUICKBOOT for those times to do a fast reboot which fixes wifi and bluetooth.
I have also purchased TASKER and told my phone to reboot at 3am every night. I still watch the betterbatterystats app to keep an eye on it and it seems to be fine.
i am also running the optimus 3D Gingerbread rom v21E on my Thrill and not the v20P AT&T stock rom. I had ghost call issues with AT&T's rom. (calls that people would make to me and the phone would never ring or show that they called). Hope this helps. With this rom i get 4g speeds (up to 10Mb) but not LTE speeds which is just a hair faster.
Think about adding Juice defender too to your catalog. recently i got my battery to last almost 24 hours!
Just started getting this a day ago. All syncs turned off, most Samsung apps frozen, literally nothing extra running in the background and can't get rid of this wake lock. No search results on it either, any idea guys?? Phone went from 100% to 64% overnight from 2am to 8am because of this. Won't stay in deep sleep.

Same here. Just noticed this yesterday. Been searching and have found nothing. BTW, I'm 100% stock (not rooted).
Update 1:
Been playing around with basic settings.
Turned Wifi off : No change (IPC still running)
Turned GPS off : IPC stopped running!!! Still too early to tell, but is your GPS on?
Update 2:
Turned GPS back on : IPC did not restart (phone is now deep sleeping)
Going to turn Wifi back on ......
Update 3:
Wifi back on and IPC did not return. Hmmm, gone for now, but for how long. Still try turning off GPS as that is when it stopped for me (and has not returned even though I have turned GPS back on.) BTW, GPS was not showing as a battery drain while IPC was, it could have been coincidence, just documenting what I've tried.
Problem happened again this morning.
I turned GPS off, problem stopped.
I turned GPS back on and the problem did not return.
Still no root cause, but when it happens, cycling GPS seems to stop it (at least temporarily.)
Glad you found the solution. I finally gave up and just wiped my device because it was draining too fast. Will definitely use your solution in the future if it reappears

My battery life was running perfect, I even bragged about it to friends then all of a sudden a few of days ago, I face the same exact issue. Until now, I can't figure it out. I already did 1 clean wipe (factory reset) and everything seem to be ok for 22 hrs. Then out of nowhere, Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread starts sucking my battery dry all over again. I tried toggling GPS and Wifi but no luck as it's still running in the background. I'm not sure if it's an app causing this or if it could possibly be from turning off a lot of bloatware?
I bet the option circled in my pic was on when you had the problems, right?

Definitely not on or checked and I rarely enable GPS.
I haven't installed any new apps to my phone recently. Only 2 things i've done right before this started happening was 1. unlock my phone 2. turned off and force stopped dozens of ATT bloatware.

Hmm bizarre man. I am not rooted but I have been getting excellent battery life with that box unchecked but with GPS actually on.

I am getting this wakelock as well. Happened after I froze some stuff, so I'm going to experiment.
l was getting this wake lock as well and noticed that in battery stats, the GPS was showing as always on despite every location option being turned off.
After reading up a bit, I uninstalled the task killer I was using. I think some program put in for a location hold without specifying a timeout for releasing it. The task killer then abruptly killed it, and the lock was never released.
Everything seems back to normal now after the uninstall and a reboot.
Hope this helps somebody.

After factory resetting my device it went away. Now after two days of not changing any settings it is back
I too continue to randomly suffer from this problem. I'm finding that cycling GPS does not always work (neither does rebooting).
These "Android OS" wakelocks drive me crazy, its not "Android OS." can be uninstalled.
I'm still fairly convinced that it has something to do with Location (GPS). Could be weather, Google Maps, Google Now, ...
And this is back again. Does anyone have this?
Seriously I am not even installing apps from the playstore. After around 3 days it randomly comes back and doesn't stop. it consumes about one percent of battery every 3 minutes according to BBS. Thinking about selling the phone because of this.

Have you had any luck with this?
I just got back from a 1 month trip to Thailand. I took out ATT sim card and popped in a local SIM card by True Mobile with only 3G support. I had zero battery issues and no Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread for 1 whole month. Now that I am back from vacation, popped in ATT sim card, Wakelock ipc00000024_er.serverthread is back in action draining my battery at a rate of almost 10% per hour. (Running stock with most recent ATT OTA update)
I wonder if this issue is directly tied with 3G/4G or SIM card use?

Resurrecting an old thread. I've been getting this ipc wakelock for the past week. Is there anything that helps this? This is really frustrating.

The issue was never resolved. I ended up rooting and installing x-note rom which is currently running flawless. Smooth as silk, no ipc issues and battery life is insanely awesome. With stock battery i'm running 24-29 hrs moderate to heavy use. With my hyperion extended battery i'm running 48+ hours with atleast 10 hrs screen time. No battery drainage or non sense wake locks on X-note rom.
If I were you, i'd ditch the ATT stock rom, it's night and day.
I just started having the exact same ipc00000024_er.serverthread wake lock and I can't find a solution. Newly rooted, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

There's nothing you can do if you're still running stock. I've tried to solve the problem for months.
Go install a custom rom, X-note 7 is badass. Kiss ipc000024 goodbye!
I was having issues with this wakelock as well. Toggling GPS on/off fixed it for me. Perhaps Ingress was locking the gps position... dunno.
---nevermind, it returns after a while just like the guys above mentioned---
Phone is regular S5 (not Active) rooted stock. The last two days my phone has had a persistent notification saying Searching by GPS. The phone becomes extremely hot and battery is draining faster than 15% an hour.
I have several Xposed modules, but nothing that I have added in the last month and this started 2 days ago. I can stop the issue by turning off location, but that is not a permanent fix. Yesterday for some reason Plume was the biggest offender in the battery stats, so I deleted that app for good measure, but the issue persisted. Finally after shutting down the phone for 5 minutes and turning it back on, the issue disappeared, but is back today. Any ideas?
Check ur cpu make sure it not hanging.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
Nothing hanging. Why is Searching using GPS persistent? I have a lock on location on Google Maps, so there is a GPS lock. What processes or apps might use this?
So for the last few days it seems a random app will be the highest drain on the battery. Yesterday it was chrome. Today it was the email app. It seems the last app i open stays awake.
And i notice when clicking details the "mobile radio active" time is on for hpurs (ex 2hr 30min).
Anyone else experiencing this?

I am having the same issue, suddenly whatsapp is the No.1 draining app with 3 hours of radio service and no.2 OST with 2.5 hours. I think is a Lollipop bug because the issue is random with some other apps, like chrome or facebook

The only solution I could find to this is use Wi-Fi but then it's not really a great solution. Would appreciate if someone could really solve this!?
