[Q] bad BATTERY life- Galaxy Mini s5570 - Samsung Galaxy Mini

guys.. please HELP mee.. i will be THANKful to each replier..
i have a samsung galaxy mini s5570 which i bought 6 months ago.. it had android 2.2.1 froyo preinstalled on it. during the first 3 months, i got pretty good battery life around 8-9 hours. i used only JUICE DEFENDER. and at dat tym, my phone wasnt rooted or anything. :O
then, the official update for s5570 was launched in India and i soon got my phone upgraded. also, i rooted it and tried various roms and all. but now, my battery LIFE has become really bad.. the battery gets empty within 3 hours of moderate use after i charge it to 100%.. :-(
even if you cant solve the problem, can anyone tell what exactly is the problem? IF I BUY A NEW BATTERY, will the PROBLEM be solved?? i now hav the STOCK ROM OF GB installed currently..

When you're not using your phone or when you don't need it, leave G3, wifi and GPS offline.
That should have a very good response to your battery life.
However, if the battery life keeps being that bad, the battery might have developed faults, in which case you can bring it in to the shop and they'll look into it.

it's true that gb uses more battery than froyo but after all that battery remains for about 7-8 hours in moderate use

I think you need to calibrate your battery.
Or, try this:
1. charge your phone when it's on, until the battery shows 100%.
2. turn off your phone and charge it again until the battery shows 100%.
3. unplug your chager for about 15 seconds and charge it again (phone still off) until the battery shows 100%.
4. turn on your phone.
this way, I got battery life better. And I found that sometimes it's the battery indicator which went wrong.

hopee ur idea works...

[Q] just wanna ask x8 battery life

hello
i just wanna ask something about my battery life on my x8...here's how it goes first i fully charge my battery up to 100% until it says on status battery full...then i unplugged it..after it i texted for a few minutes...and i check the status of my battery and it says: 28 mins 23s on battery..my battery is on 96%..is this normal.? or somethings draining my battery,?
i use minicm7 2.2
this is normal since battery is heating itself while charging, and when it cools down it shows less percentage of itself... to maximaze your current battery life, calibrate the battery:
1. charge it to 100% no more no less
2. leave the charger PLUGGED IN, and reboot to CWM
3. there you should find somewhere under options or advanced "wipe battery stats", and you press that
4. reboot your device and when it starts up it will show about 91%, charge it to 100% and you have your battery calibrated
NOTE: the charger is always plugged in
ok thanks i'll try it... one question should i drain the battery before calibrating it.?..as in zero percent??

Yes , that is recommended.
Also , one advice from me.
Even after calibration , whenever your phone says 100% charged , reboot it while the charger is plugged. You will get the exact battery charge after reboot.
Do it every time your recharge your phone.
Then stop rebooting when you get a 99% or 100% after a fresh reboot. Trust me , it helps.
ok thanks for the advice i'll try that too...
it is normal dude ....mine is giving 1day on heavy use
use zepplinrox's supercharge script...it really made a CONSIDERABLE change to m battery usage time
I have one question: "Why my battery is giving 6-8h. My battery 2 days ago giving 24 and more hour." Sorry for my English, but i am from Poland
what happened 2 days ago? did you install new ROM?
The OP might not have needed to install a new ROM, just an APP or maybe just a combination of APPs running. My phone sometimes canes the battery in a couple of hours from 50% to nothing for no apparent reason. On both stock and custom (actually better battery life on custom) it lasts about a day but sometimes about 6 hours! Not sure what is going on as this happened on both the stock 1.6, 2.1 and the custom 2.3.4!

[Q] Xperia TX Battery Problem - Using 2 Original Battery

Hi guys, I just want to share with you a problem I encountered using 2 original Sony Battery BA900. I have 2 batteries, both original. Both of them fully charged, 1 battery inserted into my phone and 1 as back-up. After my battery discharged up to 10, 20 or 30%, I will try to change to my back up battery. After changing it, the phone dispalys the same battery charge level with my first one, for example before I removed the first battery, the charge level is 10%, changing into a new one that is fully charged to 100%,it will also show 10%. The battery will continue to drain up to 1% and will stay there for several hours. So that means, the battery is really fully charged but the battery icon shows a wrong level.
However using another local battery (not original from Sony), I will not encounter this problem, meaning after the original battery drained up to 10%, I will change to a locally made battery that is fully charged, it will show 100% on the battery level.
Note that any ROM that I use, Stock or Custom ROMS available for TX, I will encounter the same problem using 2 original batteries.
Is there anybody who encountered the same problem with me? Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks
I see someone have same issue like this.they call it normal
the way to solve that when you change new battery you have to wait 20-30 sec then put the new battery on.

I tried to do it, but still I'm observing the same problem. I even waited for few minutes before I put the new battery inside my phone. The only way it can show the normal readings of the battery level is when I charge it for a few minutes, if the battery level of the previous battery on my phone is 10%, changing it to a fully charged new battery the phone will also show 10%, after charging it for a few minutes, it will suddenly jump to 100%.
I hope Sony can come up with the fix with this because the unbranded batteries can work really well.
Thanks.
I have the same problem with Mugen Power Battery. I think that the battery meter is not working fine and I hope that Sony can fix it.
my xperia x10 had the same problem a couple of times the battery off instead of a hard way of inserting normal if you want to try

[Q] Problem with battery status on i9000

Hello!
Been using my i9000 for about 2 years and 3 days ago i came around a problem that I can't solve. Let me try to explain as good as my english skills will let me.
I`m charging the battery to 100%. I`m unplugging then plugging back my charger a few times to make sure it's charged 100%. Then I`m using my phone as usual for about 2-3 hours (less if I`m playing a movie or listen to music) and my phone automatically shuts off. When I turn it back on, it shows 1-2% battery.
Now, if I let it idle, it will slowly "charge" back up (without the charger plugged). It wont show the charging icon over battery, but it's level will rise to about 60-70%.
If, after I turn it back on I use it intensively, it will shut down in 1-2 minutes. I tried to charge it to full and then enter that root menu (volume up+menu key+power key) to delete the battery stats, but still can't solve the problem.
I can't believe my battery is dieing or having a hardware problem because it started acting like this out of the blue, so I think there's a software problem somewhere (maybe corrupted battery info stats or something). My bet is on the fact that the phone doesn't know the empty and full limits of the battery.
My phone is rooted and using android 2.3.6. Any advice would be highly appreciated, thanks!
Same problem here

Did you get to have yours fixed??
I had the same problem with my I9000, in the same period.. what are the odds?
I replaced the battery, and the battery level weirdness went away, but I'm still having problems charging it. Actually, the battery won't charge in the phone, tried several charges, with different amps. I have an external charger, which will take the battery at 100%, and it will last a few hours in the phone.
I also have another problem: if I have the phone on, with the charger connected, and shut it down, I can only get it back on if I disconnect the charger. I also don't get the battery indicator when the phone is off.
I was using CM10, but then I reverted to stock 2.3.6, tried a few kernels, modems, etc, but none solve my problems.
hi guys
quite basic problem u got there
if ur on 2.3.6, then its natural problem.its not like changing kernel can solved it as it is safety measure for battery in stock ROM.
to answer ur question;
when charging at deepsleep mode nothing will change=
as cpu at min stated,even wifi will be knocked off n sometimes network signal also.
battery suddenly goes up when rebooting or awake from deepsleep=
its ur battery stat+safety measure for battery (hav u heard BLX (Battery Life Xtender) in any cm10 features?) to maintain fone power state.
battery will never goes 100% n u need to plug n unplug again for it to full=
still count as BLX (above) as in this features battery will goes 90% - 95% as its max to make sure battery lasting longer (if not,why do u think u can still use ur battery in full state after 3 years (1000+ cycles) n it still not bubling like old nokia fone?)
fone will not awake when charging (if enter sleep mode) =
check ur kernel n make sure min cpu change to ~200mhz as its min n dont lock ur cpu to its min.if in stock, something wrong with ur home or power (da one trigger awake) button.
da conclusion is, sometimes (3 month calculated) reset ur battery stat (if ur on GB) with app (too many app on Gstore) but needed root n follow strictly step. DO NOT OVERCHARGE (charging n leaving ur fone till morning to discharge) n be thankful this features intact in updated GB so u can use ur battery much longer than nokia fone.
but u can change it by upgrading to cm9 to disable it. charge it with 'stay awake' enable on dev option n u ll get full 100% usage of ur battery
thats all for my morning essay
n thank you for reading (if u try to read)
Regards

Actually we have a thread with battery problem.
1 Turn off your phone.
2 Charging phone without turning on to full and switch on then continue charging to 100%
3 When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4 Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5 Press power buton copule time
6 Wait for 20 min
7 Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
8 Put back the battery on the right side.
9 Turn on the phone.
10 Pray the Battery god
11 ... and voilĂ  !

[Q] weird charging reading !!

Recently a friend gave me his i9000 to check why his device always shut off suddenly. It runs stock GB . The problem is, the battery is charged but without showing any warning or low battery message , the device just turns off . So i exchange battery from another i9000 and saw, the phone works fine !! And the battery i got from the faulty i9000 and put into another one, bingo....that phone too wont turn on. So the problem is , that although, the phone works just fine, and battery will actually charge, it always shows the battery is charged 100 % !!! Always !!! I have installed CWM, tried at least three different kernels, and roms. Same result.
Does anybody can tell me , why this bizarre reading and why the phone and also every other battery widget show the it is charged 100 % while actually the battery is less than 10 % charged !!!
The battery is 90% at fault.
You should buy a new one

sorry mate, i might have confused you with the question. The battery is good, i tested on other galaxy S and that other phone, read battery charge level accurately . But the problematic phone, always shows 100% charge for every battery !!! So after a day or two, the phone should show low battery , but instead it just turns off, even than it would show battery is full !!!
