[Q] Sudden battery drop? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, i searched and couldnt find anything like this, so if there's already answered somewhere please point me in the right direction.
Lately, sometimes i've been getting these sudden drops on battery when i check the chart it looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Info:
Stock JVT ROM
CF-Root 4.3 Kernel
Yes, i've flashed my phone with another ROMs (CM7.1, JVS, JVT) and yes, i've calibrated the battery. I started getting these even before i started messing with the phone's ROM/Kernel (with the stock unrooted JVH the phone came with).
Is it normal? Is there something wrong with the batery?

That looks more like your phone is doing a reboot. When your phone reboots it uses some battery so the "stats" will show lower after the phone have booted again.

i didnt reboot my phone and i don't really think it rebooted (not sure tho)

Noticed it looks like there was a signal drop at that time? When your phone loses signal it spends a lot of power searching for it, so that could explain it.

That screeny clearly shows a red area in signal line, so certainly signal dropped so it could be the reason for such a huge battery drop in such an instance. Has happened to me before, when I keep my phone switched off for some minutes.

24+ Hour Battery

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)
It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..
Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.

[Q] Galaxy Note 1 bricked, inflated battery

Bought in November of 2011, my Galaxy Note 1 does not react to any (combinations of) button pressing anymore.
1. It was bought in Germany through Amazon.de; the so-called international unlocked version.
2. Absolutely no rooting.
3. How it got bricked (or dead): at some moment (while using) it stopped reacting and automatically reboot but failed.
4. What happened before: around one month before that, I found the original battery last less and less time, and what's more of my concern, the battery is obviously inflated, which might present a safety problem. So I bought a new battery through Amazon.com (actually two, but the first one did not work at all, so I bought another from a different seller; didn't expect that batteries can also have this kind of "fitting" problem).
5. What I have tried: I didn't spend much time in this because I didn't have much time. What I tried was to use Ordin to install a new (stock) system to it, but failed because Ordin said something like "connection problem". Later the phone cannot enter the download mode because it does not react to any button-pressing anymore.
6. Could it be that the battery is dead: I hope so, but it seems the battery cannot be charged (I tried to charge it for many times).
7. All those happened a few months ago. Today I happened to see the original battery of the phone, and found that it is amazingly so inflated that it looks like a balloon, and I wonder how could it be fitted into the phone if I didn't bought a replacement (and if the phone was not bricked, of course):

I had the same problem. I had to use a friends note to charge my original battery after draining it completely.
try to use one of those universal chargers.they're cheap(about 2 euros),but they to the right job. Or use another note to charge the battery.NEVER try use odin on less than 70% battery.

[Q] GPS detects satellites, doesn't lock?

After looking for similar threads and no solution worked, I ask here if anyone has any idea that could help me.
Since a couple of months, my GPS stopped working, it detects satellites but doesn't get a lock on any of them ( see picture ).

I've tried factory reset, flashed Stock 10.5.1.A.0.283, and 10.5.1.A.0.292. Last year I've changed the display with success, but something could get wrong and I'm suspecting hardware failure on the GPS or the antenna ( the C6602 phone was purchased broken for cheap to fix it myself, so service is out of the question... even if there aren't any real or good official support down here on Uruguay )

Fun thing, I have the same issue with my phone. But then again, I had to change my display, too. It was working afterwards for a while, but somehow something died about 3 months I'd say.

Which ROM are you on? And did you try this
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/GPS-Problem/td-p/336736
while you were on stock?
Cheers

OMG, thank you!!! The Xperia forums suggestion seems to have worked, as I'm still in stock, now at least is not stuck but it's locking. The Xperia post says it can take a while, but at least now it's locking in at least 3 satellites.
Thank you so much

Hello. The Xperia forums changed URLS and nothing is to be found. Any chance you remember what was the fix 5 years ago?

Awful S3 LTE (i9305) Battery - Discharge even system off

Hi Guys,
I have a very awful battery with my phone. See, even it discharge nearly 50% when I sleep at 12midnight (100% charge), when I woke up it already has below 50% battery. The phone is completely on a factory state, Poland Firmware 4.4.4 Kitkat. I even have bought a new OEM original battery and it just performs the same.
Also I noticed that cpu usage (developer options) are very high, but when I restart the phone it averages to 2.0/1.5/0.8 or something near to that values.
Do i have a problem with any of the following?
1. Bootloader
2. Kernel - but why it drains even if turned off
3. hardware
4. battery - unlikely because it is brand new. bough it around $30.
5. firmware
6. Baseband
7. Modem
I dont know, I've been looking around but cant solve this dilemma

You have exactly the same problem as mine?
I also got this phone I9305 4.4.4 ...... Using Anker 2200mAh battery and use wifi after every 5-10 Minutes and the battery timing for me is not that Good and not even bad
Strange. I don't think this could be a software issue, in this situation I mean firmware. Because, you tried several ROMs including stock and custom, and problem appear. Also as you told, you bought a new battery and the issue still occur. I am curious why it is draining even turned off. In my opinion, this is hardware problem, the mobo is faulty.

Do you try to watch what is using your battery with GSam, WakeLock Detector (WLD) or Better Battery Status (BBS)?

Battery Cliffs

Someone asked a similar question, but the last reply is a year old and the last reply was about settling. I don't want to just settle if I don't have to, I'm curious as to why.
Decided to try using a Droid 4 again, and I've been running into what killed me off of it in the first place: serious battery level issues.
It seems that every custom ROM I try has a broken battery meter:

This is CM 13 or 14 (Marshmellow or Nougat), I don't remember. Was actually looking for a different screenshot and realized that this had what I needed too
(I dont know CM versions as well,so please excuse me if I'm naming them wrong)
I'd say that its a battery problem, but If I go back to stock this doesn't happen (90% sure on that. I'm in the process of doing some more testing and actually documenting things. Wanted to toss something out while I wait for file transfers to see if anyone else gets this.
I think I once used a modified stock rom and it worked without battery cliffs either. This is my second D4, and the first had the same jumps in battery too.
To be fair, the same thing started happening with my HTC Thunderbolt, albeit on stock and a bit more drastically.

Try resurection remix it works pretty good on my droid 4. Its the unnofficial version ported to the droid 4 by transil. It is in the development section for this device. Also if you use bettery battery stats you can get the apk here on xda. You can use this apk to see what is draining your battery.
