[Q] What's the model code label behind the battery?
Can some one please provide us the exact model code, from the label behind the battery compartment in the phone.
for example GT-I9000
it'll also be helpful to include the manufacture date, something like 10.12
thanks

Code
GT-I9001
There's no date on the label, but there's a date on the battery: 2011/06/09 (y/m/d)

Yeah, well it wasn't, sorry.

Checking / unchecking the " protect ops" did the trick for me... If your flash hangs, try again with the other option.

I had similar problem (got stuck in 7/15 ext4)... i changed computer and cable... my 9001 is now 2.3.4 and rooted.

Yeah, there isn't anything about manufacturing date.
Only this stuff:
Model: GT-I9001
SSN: -I9001GSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTI9001
Imei & ssn.
I saw manufacturing date somewhere but i've flashed my phone allready... Can someone check: Settings.. Info. If i remember correctly it was there.

[Q] Will the i9001 Lagfix come out?
Will it comes out or not?

i guess Samsung changed the way how they mark the manufacturing date.
it used to be like that for all their other phones, including the Nexus S

how are you guys updating the phone to 2.3.4? i'm on 2.3.3 and i tried connecting to kies and it said that i am on the latest firmware...

No problem about date, i liked your review as i was considering both. Thanks

I used: ODIN 4.4.3. (Aries VE)
Heard something that they're using that same program in repair shops.
You will lose all your data from phone if you update. Played games, txt messages etc.

When I rooted my phone I saw that battery life is shorter than before? Is it possible ? Before root battery holds 2 days now is only one, and sometimes it has much problem with it. When I leave phone on entire night about 8 hours it eats 20-25% battery, before maybe 10%. I attached 2 screenshot of working my phone at night (this is after root, I don't have before root), this phone was unpluged before I went to bed.

[Q] Wich version do you have
i have bought an i9001. i have xxKG1 on it. It's a 2.3.3. Are there others with this version. Any bugs???

XXKP4, 2.3.4.
At least these versions exist:
Europe:
I9001XEKE8
I9001XXKF8
I9001XXKP4
I9001XXKG3
Provider:
I9001BOKF6
Arabic:
I9001JPKF7
I9001JPKG1
Source: samfirmware

it is possible that after root you started an app which was running overnight and your battery life has been eaten because of that...try killing all the running apps and check if it still continues.
Personally, i've had experience with loads of devices and even though if "SuperUser" is consuming battery, it is not by much !

XXKF8 with 2.3.3 (Netherlands)

Strange that my version can't be found on samfirmware.
O yeah. I live in Belgium. (Flanders)

[Q] Battery life unusually short

Hello all!
Here's my problem. For the past week I have noticed that the battery life's very short. And by short, I mean less than 10 hours fully charged. I got no new applications since this problem appeared, and everything seemed to be working perfectly. Then suddenly I woke up one day and noticed that the phone is turned off. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
I'm running Android 2.3.3 I9000XXJVK.
Here you can see battery use, if it helps.
Thanks in advance!

Battery Drain on 2.3.3
Flash JVR 2.3.4

Thats problem in JVK...go to setting > account and sync > disable background data + auto sync.
Hope this work if not then left 2.3.3 abd come to 2.3.5 JVS

But I've always had background data and sync enabled and it always worked perfectly fine. Why would this suddenly be the reason for battery drain? Also, at night I always turn off WiFi and data network.

Well disable this when ur not using....i think u should give a try and close them...because high android os usage is due to this....
Background data is a process that using OS of ur phone heavily.

Ok, I'll try this and we'll see how long the battery will last once it's full. Meanwhile, any other ideas would also be appreciated.

Since disabling background data didn't help very much with battery drain(it extended battery life by 1-2 hours), I decided to try another ROM. Now, it's unplugged for 11 hours and it's still at 90%. So far, I'm completely satisfied with F1 Galaxy S II V6 ROM.

That was the awesome rom i dnt know what special ingrediant he use in his rom...i test F1 innovation and i got 3200 quadrant score and long battery life...but the major problem is touchwiz 3.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

On first run, I got around 1800. Second run was 2180. Pretty much as expected.

Try doctorz rom....hope u ll hav long battery life

Using V7 and after 8 hours on doing almost nothing it ate all the juice from my battery

So much bad info here...
Notice how 'Android OS' is eating a disproportionately large amount of your battery? This is called the 'Android OS' bug, which appeared shortly after the release (and use) of JVK—which just so happens to be what you're running. Just for the record, your display should almost always be the highest consumer of battery. If it isn't, you have problems... just like you do now.
Reboot your phone to get rid of it. Battery pull if that doesn't help. It inevitably will show up again, however; it's merely a matter of time. If you'd like to permanently solve this issue, simply upgrade to 2.3.4 (JVP) or newer.
Please, all of you... just look at your battery stats. It's a built-in, handy feature—so use it.
EDIT: As it appears, this is an old thread. Please don't bump old threads...

Androids OS uses <= 5% on semaphore on JVT

2.3.3 has a very high frequency of Android OS and Android System battery drain. The best solution is to flash 2.3.4 or 2.2.1.
2.3.4 has a much lower frequency of the battery drain bug, while 2.2.1 has no battery drain bug.

Battery problem

Hi Folks, I hve had my note for 1 year now and haven't had any battery problems until 2 days ago when I flashed a jb rom. All was fine for about 10 hours when I started to recharge the battery again that went fine, charged to 100% and unplugged, the phone said it was at 100%. After another few hours the phone cut out, no warning just cut out. I could get the phone back on but only when plugged into the charger. So, heres my problem, phone says battery is fully charged but when I unplug the charger it cuts out now. if I boot in to recovery with out the charger it stays on for hours. if I try to start the phone up normally with out charger it doesn't work. I have tried another battery again it started fine for almost a day then the same problems again. I have tried several kernels and roms in case it was one of those that was causing the problem but its the same every time. Im not a newb when it comes to flashing roms some im 100% sure its all ok in that department. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Graham

What really matters here is your screen on time (I can get around 4h30 with heavy use). I also see you have a few notifications so there might be some draining apps running in the background (like that *** Facebook app which is constantly running in the background even with notifications off). In any case BBS should help you identify the "rogue" app (if any). Also I don't use Google Now as it's kind of a battery killer.

this problem is same with me...after 1 year use gnote
and this is battery problem..i dont know whats is causing it...
i try to enter recovery mode and ..battery is good..almost 4 hours screen on recovery mode
but if I try to start the phone up normally phone is reboot after 1minute in homescreen android
trying with different rom jb ..same problem ..
after replace my battery ..problem is gone..

@strachg If the phone used to work well before you flashed JB I'd recommend going back to ICS to see if the problem persists. If it disappears the reason is JB which would not supprise me since all JB roms for the Note are not really bug free. If the phone continues to behave like you described and changing the battery does not help either I'd say it's a hardware failure.

Hi, Yeah I already tried going back to ics and it was just the same, it just seems like a bit of coincidence and really annoying lol. The only thing I can think off that is causing it is as you say that its a hardware fault and it must be overcharging the battery and breaking it. If it was JB that was causing it im sure I wouldn't have been the only one by now.
thanks
Graham

how did you install jb? Was it clean on safe kernel? You havent eliminated the possibility of software issues.
Qazibazit, it looks ok.
Guideline 3,5-4,5 hours on screen time is normal (if you play games can be less, thus is from full to 1%). Total standby time, usually more then 24 hours is normal.
If you have a lot less, go read ahalfords sticky on wakelocks. All you need to know to optimize battery.

Hi baz 77 yeah using safe kernel, tried a few actually. And using utackas. Version of paranoid android now again tried a few Roms. Everything was wiped and redone the process about 20 times. I looked through all the roms. And kernel threads and no one has had this problem. New battery coming so will see how it goes now.

yep thats pretty definitive, at least if all those roms are not having same base and thus posibly same issues.
Your new battery will improve your experience quite a bit if its a good one!

[Q] Ridiculous Battery Drain

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?
Regards....

Use the better battery stats app and check which app running in the background is draining your battery without allowing the device going into sleep....
but if the drain is like what you have described....then it is time to move on to another battery....
just a word.....Kernel is something (other things being Baseband) which takes care of the battery performance....so maybe you can try changing this and check which one suits you well.
CHECK IN THE FORUM TO FIND INFO ABOUT APPS LIKE GREENIFY...
Hope this helps you

Thinking it like this: the phone probably can drain a fully charged battery in 10 minutes if you turn on every major component, like vibration, flash, display to 100%, gps, wifi, 3G and what else... But having just wifi on and getting a phone shutdown in 10 min seems excessive. This would suggest your battery is not charging properly. This can result from end-of-lifetime battery only charging to some 10-25% of original capacity, broken charger, battery self-discharge and probably some other reasons I could not think of right now.
The best solution, most likely, is to replace your battery (like SREEPRAJAY above already suggested), but if you like to troubleshoot you could try to charge your phone via USB to reduce the charging current (Li-ion batteries show a lower voltage during charging with lower charge current until 100% is reached). This way you may be able to charge to higher capacity. Also, it may hint that some kernel might work better for you, but I'm not sure about this, since I don't remember what part of Android (SW, charger HW or what) handles the charging logic, i.e. what triggers the charging actually to stop.

Thanks...I'll try the suggestions

well maybe your battery isn't so good anymore or you must try also other roms like jelly cream and those kind of roms and if you wanna know the rom slimbean and cm10.2 from tonyp are also pretty smooth and battery saving but cm10.2 is sadly not working camera still but further it's damm good

Hi I have experienced some issues with battery draining, when I check battery stats it says that most of the battery is drained from Android . media. Service... I have no idea how to work out or disable whatsoever is using those services.. Btw I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly

How often does it switch off? If it's often then you could try leaving it in recovery mode to see if it does it there...

I have a 2 month old original battery in my note. I noticed screen flickering a week ago which is a sure sign the battery is past its prime.
Still, some questions:
Have you dropped this phone?
Are you still running stock android? root?
Did you overclock / undervolt anything?
How often is this happening?
Is the phone hot when this happens?

Ofcourse,I've dropped it many times.I think problem also because of that droppings only.Running on stock firmware.No overclock.Can't say how often....The phone won't be hot but may be sometimes I feel slight hotter.

There is no guarantee that a custom rom can help, but it is much easier than dealing with hardware issue. Definitely should try a custom rom 4.12 to see if it helps.

Custom rom also not helping.Today it switched off completely and not switching on even.sometimes it switches on after sometime but no luck this time.so please someone suggest me,what are my options now ?and What would I do now ?

Personally, my next step would be opening it up, remove all the dust(if any) and check all connections.
If that does not help, you have a problem.
If all fails, consider maybe overvolting and/or underclocking.?
