[Q] Galaxy S I9000 Battery Problem

Hi.
i have some questions about my battery , i want to know if im having a battery drain.
i recently installed Darky's Rom v9.3b1 (the rom doesnt matter in this situation - i tried others) and heres how my phone lasts in different situations:
when only the screen is on and everything is off(wifi bt gps ..) , it lasts 9 hours till the battery reaches 10%.
and when im playing a video using rock player and everything else is off again , it takes 7 hours to reach 10% on battery.
is this ok? i also calibrated my battery once and wiped my phone but the results didnt change.
i also tried Speedmod and Voodoo , and speedmod was better a little in battery.
i dont use live wallpapers / auto changing content.
i'll be glad to hear some advices to make my battery better ( i read all the battery threads here but still the same)
thanks in advance.

i recently installed Darky's Rom v9.3b1 (the rom doesnt matter in this situation - i tried others) and heres how my phone lasts in different situations:
You need a wipe of your phone and install a clean rom > preferably one that does not have loads of this rom drains my battery posts .
Then reset the battery stats drain the battery bump charge it and then use it for a month battery should be back to near normal .

I've read and done the most common battery calibrate for Darky's ROM but then also came across this thread:
http://darky.ficeto.com/community/i...attery-in-case-of-strange-battery-drain.1183/
I think it is interesting because when I do the common battery calibrate, I'm wiping battery stats when my battery is at 97%, 98% because of the fact that every time my phone reboots, the percentage drops.
However, with the posted thread I'll be wiping battery stats at the point where the battery is completely full which makes more sense to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.

tnx i will test this and post the results.

wiping battery stats when my battery is at 97%, 98% because of the fact that every time my phone reboots, the percentage drops.
The drop is in effect a false reading dont bother about it .Loads of posts on the reasons why later battery charging methods have changed .
Plus some battery indicators dont like reporting 100 % .

Hmmm... Interesting point. I'm wondering for all those out there who claim they get 30 to 40 hours with moderate use if they are using stock email or 3rd party source that handles polling.
I'm using stock GMail and a Yahoo Messenger both pushing emails instantly which I'm wondering could be my issue. I've tried every recommendation for battery efficiency out there and nothing has worked. I'm draining about 6% per hour with less then moderate use.
I'm going to kill the gmail and yahoo apps to see if that makes a difference.
Will report back my useage.

bettary life totally depand on stock rom or costom rom +kernal its complicated judgement
i m on stoke xwjs5 and i found this is best bettary performanse i ever seen on i9000,
lots of fector affect betary life,

So, I removed gmail email sync and removed my yahoo mail app to install k9 email. It has a very nice interface however chewed up my battery even more so while having each email account polling every 10 minutes.
I uninstalled k9 email app and turned on gmail email sync. I also added another email account to my gmail account so that I can get push emails to both accounts.
I installed an app called battery calibrator from the market. I charged my phone to 100 percent and while charged, I ran battery calibrator. After the calibration, I rebooted my phone.
Now, my battery drops 1.5 percent every hour compared to anywhere from 6 to 10% per hour.
I don't start monitoring the battery until about 95 percent because after a full charge it drops to 98 percent in about 40 minutes. That's just how the software reads the battery usage I guess.
Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000M, Froyo 2.2.1, Darky's Extreme 9.2, hardcore SpeedMod kernel, Steel Blue Theme 3.0

bettary life totally depand on stock rom or costom rom +kernal its complicated judgement
Thats it in a nutshell some roms = bad battery life as the two posters have found .## jje

You need to give more info then that.
What version of rom you using?
Which kernel/version you using?
What apps have you installed?
Do you use wifi/gps?
Did you use search before creating topic?
btw, you dont need to manually type [q] in your title. "[Q]" automatically gets added when you enable the "Is this a question" feature when creating topic.

i'v 144 Apps .. neither the widgets .. do you want me to name it all .. idk someone did that before right .. btw i don't use the Tab during am writing this comment but its still sucks the battery ..
and yes i use WIFI .
overcome tell us the solution for the battery life . but the solution didn't work with me
anyways thanks for ur reply .
btw i didn't type [q] i just thick the ' Is this a question ' ... tnx for your advice ..

I have actually noticed a decline in battery life since I flashed to Overcome. In the few days, before I flashed my tab, I could idle the tab for 10 hours and use like 2% battery. After flashing overcome, I cant get no where near that idle time, and I get just under 10% per hour full usage (games or video playback).
I'm using Overcome 1.6.1, no live backgrounds, and somewhere around 85 apps.

Strange, Ive never had a battery issue on any of the builds, even when overclocked. Its got to be something you have installed and running in background.
Go to settings>phone>about>battery use and it will tell you what using most battery. There is also programs like SystemPanel or Taskkiller etc.
If the [Q] wasn't capitalised then you must have tried to title your topic all i capitals so site reversed it, next time title topics properly

1st of all . the battery charges take so many time to charge full even though if its 95 its take around 15 to 20 mins to full charge .. and when i take the charge it give 99 even if its says the charge full ..
if my tab is off screen its also suck my battery life seriously .. i don't use live wallpaper i only use a normal image .. i don't know what is the problem .. am really thinking to replace overcome .. the prob is i like overcome even if it doesn't support arabic
any ideas

I never got any problems with the battery life in all Overcome roms.
Currently i use Overcome 1.6.1 with 2.1.4 kernel and battery life is good.
Idle overnight with WiFi enabled it uses 6%
Idle overnight with my dataplan it uses 3% and idle time is approx 12 hours.
In the idle time i have my Gmail synced, twitter, weather ect
In full use and full display light i can use my Tab for approx 6 hours.
I have to mention that my Tab is not Oc-ed

what comes in my mind now
i turn off the tab to charge and see .. i off the tab i plug again the charger and guess what ... its still charge since 10mins
i'll do again wipe battery status and see .. this is the 4th time i'll do the wipe for battery .... i don't know what is the prob
so i wipe the battery but nothing happen .. so i just backup all the stuff ... going to re flash again
wipe data , wipe factory reset ...
flash again the rom and the kernel ...
.... i hate my tab cuz every week something new need to flash need to wipe need to reset
EDIT .. flashed again with wipe factory and factory rest and nothing happen after i flashed the kernel and the rom

My battery seems to drain fast too
I updated to Kernel 2.15 and Overcome 1.63 last night. It seems to drain 1% every 1.5-2 minutes when I use it with WIFI and 3G on. It drained 6% last night over 6 hours on standby mode (after I shortly pressed the power key).

I know there are some Gallery issues which drains your battery after using it.
But other then that i think some people expecting to much to fast to see some battery life progress on custom roms.
On the first fresh install i had also a drain.
You have to be aware that after a fresh rom install you have to let the battery settle for a couple off charges.
Yesterday i also took a complete reinstall by the guide provided in the Overcome thread.
I did this because i have some issues with FC's on receiving gmails.
After that fresh install and restoring my apps ect.
I went playing with it, first i did 2 hours of surfing over wifi.
Later playing Black Pegasus Modern Combat for 3 hours.
I started of with 67% battery and didn't have the battery calibrated
So after 5 hours of heavy use the Galaxy Tab battery was empty.
This morning i calibrated the battery.
And after a full cycle charge in 2 hours i didn't touch my Tab at all.
After 4 hours i still have 97% battery left.
It is common that when you take your from the charger it instantly drops to 99% (No worry)
So 2% lost in 4 hours in idle standby with 3g on and syncing XDA app every 15min, Twitter every 5 min, email every 30min, Gmail (Push), weather every hour.
I think it's battery life is great.
Beware the screen of our Tab's are using a great deal of battery life.
Even 50% brightness sucks your battery empty.
I have it set on 30% which is good for use in the evening.
Daytime and sunlight it sucks at 30% but since i never use my Tab outside it will work for me.

Hello!
I cant imagine that the battery is draining because of overcome rom or kernel. Since i flashed it my battery life is suprisingly good, even when overclocked!

Same here...
I know there is a Gallary 3d issue when using it your battery is draining.
Alterbridge is working on that.
If people followed the flash and battery calibrate guide Overcome should have a nice battery life.
I don't know what apps people are using at the moment but it could be an app which is poorly written.

guys im flashing overcome even before the guide posted ...
and about the live wallpaper .. i don't use it .. because i use a honeycomb theme
and about the calibrate of the battery i already did it many times from overcome guide or even from the apps in market .. i knw wat am doing .. i never get on in something that i don't know wat exactly means ...
cheers

[Q] Battery life question - are there different battery versions?

Hello all,
I have a brand new Galaxy Tab ( three full charges so far) - and I get quite different results re. battery life then others.
Then again: I read some posts with really long batt life, and others with shorter.
I have Gingerbread - Overcome RC1 installed, and I in about 1.5 hours use ( no 3G, some wifi, medium backlight; time spent mainly installing / removing apps, some games, some email and web browsing) I am at 75%.
When the unit is fully charged, after I switch it on it goes to 99% immediately (I see 100% maybe for less than a minute). This morning I am at about 65% battery life, with about 2 hours use. ( I have erased the battery stats after installing the Overcome rom).
When not using the unit for several hours (for example over night): I do a complete shut-down.
Now others seem to get significantly longer run times.
Is it possible that there are (at least) two versions of the GT, one with better battery the other one with weaker battery?
Or do I have a defective unit and should I try to return it? ( I am within the 30 days return policy, and could go for an exchange)?
Or is my experience totally normal, and the "really long" battery lifes are more the exception?
Or will my battery life get longer after a few more charge / recharge cycles?
I would appreciate any feedback!
Thank you!

People claiming better battery life are running custom firmwares, have their cpu moderated, and have pulled all kinde of tricks to achieve this.
Also, your battery has to "settle"

Thank you for the reply.
I am also using a custom firmware but no other tricks (slowing CPU etc.)
So my unit is then probably normal?
How long does it take for the battery to reach full capacity?

I think I will return the GT for replacement...
Another update.
Yesterday, I have done a full recycle ( fully empty the battery and fully recharge).
Today, when I started to use it, within 50 minutes the battery level went to 80%.
I have removed now all apps, all widgets etc ( factory fresh gingerbread) and I will fully charge and then reset the battery memory within CW.
Lets see how that goes... but I start to worry now as my return period has just passed ( 14 days from purchase) - so I may be stuck with a unit with a battery problem...

I would reccomend to stop delete battery stat everytime now and then. Another thing is please wait few cycles so battery will settle down as someone said. When I got my SGT for the first time I was quite worried that my battery drain so quick. Simple internet browsing over wifi last for 3-4h. Later on I found tha some apps sync itself constantly, name pulse, weather widgets, rss readers etc. Ive check the apps and disable auto sync. Also moving from 2.2 to 2.3 gives me huge boost and make battery last muuch longer.

Thank you. Lets hope you are right.

Install the version beta2. The battery on it lasts much longer. I checked and returned to the beta2 since RC1. Only first JJ4, then JQ1 and beta2. My English is not good, so I apologize if I wrote something wrong

Wow. That is an interesting theory. I will definitely test: you well may be right. I have used beta2 only for a short time, but I think the battery did last longer...

In beta2 worked for 11 hours. The RC1 is less than 7 hours. A friend has the same. Both went back to beta2. Wi-fi enabled, much inernet ,radio, Google mail, mp3. Used on a single chargefor more than iPad

Same problem here..
Strange it is. .
So far i know. .
Battery life is always been the hillarious thing ever, on a smartphone..!!!
Hehehe. . .

For me it has always been a big differens in battery life after a couple of weeks when the battery is performing better.
In the beginning with stock rom i barely got trough one day with heavy use.
Now its no problem getting trough two days of heavy use. Using Overcomes (rc1) latest rom.

I would deffinitelly recommend going back to beta2 as in my case on rc1 I was able to get maximum 7-8 hours when switching to beta2 gave me at least 12 hours. At the moment when not extensively using the tab I am able to get around 60 hours.
ps1
as someone mentioned before pleae stop erasing batterystats.bin
ps2
Do not try to install beta2 on rc1 as it wil cause you a lot of problems. Start with jq1 at least and then beta2.

Hello,
I had the same problem too, but I have resolved it now.
I started by browsing this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986067&highlight=false+status
Then I opened up my tab and disconnected battery for 30 mins. Reconnect and close up and that fixed the problem permanently.
For some people, flashing overcome 2.0 rc1 solved their issues.
Hope that helped.

Battery drain after installing MIUI

Hi, I recently installed MIUI 3 and seem to be getting some problems with battery life.
What I've done so far:-
-Installed MIUI 3 with the SpeedMod kernal (as directed in the manual). Battery life dropped to 12hrs
-Reset battery stats, no change
-Installed MIUI 3.3. Battery went back up to ~30hrs
I thought 3.3 fixed it but after a day the battery life dropped by half. After another day it dropped by half again. Now it's only lasting 6hrs, and when on charge it doesn't reach 100% charged but stays at 98% even overnight.
What is going on with this thing?

Half of MIUI threads is about battery drain. There is no solution until now.

They're all like 1 year old. The battery was supposedly fixed in the latest release, and I know someone with the same phone, using MIUI, and they don't have this problem.
I think it might be something to do with the speedmod kernel. I don't know anything about the compatibility of kernels and MIUI so i just followed the instructions in the manual and used speedmod

I don't really know what's going on... in my phone the battery lasts for around 60 hours, maybe more, whatever rom/kernel I've used...
I've been using all of galnet's muiu and still have to find a battery issue. In my particular case, I don't use GPS, so it's off all the time. I don't think that's the issue though...

It's a known issue of CM7/MIUI.
no solution at the moment

Sorry but what is CM7?
And if there's no solution, how can someone with the same model phone not have the same issue?...

MIUI has battery problem and its not solved. If you disable data, gps, sync...
it saves some.

I will look into that and try to help!

So everyone using MIUI puts up with a battery only lasting 6 hours and my friend is lying to me? >_>
btw disabling data doesn't make that much difference.

I think that this is as much a cm7 thing, as anything else, and most people just tweak and seek til they find a combination of things that work, so worth looking in rhe relevant threads and reading back
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Well for anyone interested I found the problem. I tried flashing with the latest SpeedMod kernel, phone wouldn't boot, and I had to reflash the entire bootloader with MIUI's modified Froyo
Now the problem I noticed when I went to install MIUI.. the zip on my phone was 2.2 instead of 3.2.
NFI how I ended up with that outdated version! So the latest 3.3 seems to have fixed it now. Phone has been on for almost 20 hours and only dropped 30% in battery. That's more like it.
Although this did happen the first time, it seemed OK and then kept dropping by half capacity each day.. But if I really was somehow using 2.2 then hopefully that's all it was

I found out yesterday that my phone doesnt really go idle because of some google process waking my phone notoriously, and probably thats why it uses more battery. I also have very week signal (only 3g) which makes my phone use more battery than normal, but on non cm7 roms i made it one day with no problem. Right now I'm on galnet's miui and this is really fantastic rom, but battery wont last one day in my case. So the idle problem is the case i think... yesterday I closed gapps process before i went to sleep, and my phone was sleeping nicely too This process is caused by android market, and miui doesnt close it up. I also freezed gmaps - someone in galnets thread said it also drains battery. Well I'll see in few days how the battery will behave.

Also Battery Calibration.apk (can be found in market) works to calibrate your battery properly.

56hrs without recharging, 22% battery still remaining. So clearly it's not a problem with CM or MIUI any more

I have exactly the same problem.. tried the battery callibration app..also tried the wipe battery stats article.. i ve finished recharging 100% 2hours ago... now my phone is 55%..no gps no games.. 2 phone calls for 2min each.. i love the rom and hate the battery

HOW??????????????????

[Q] [i9000] Team ICSSGS RC3.1 - Battery Life

Hello everyone!
I've installed few days ago the onecosmic's ROM RC3.1, beatiful, perfect, smooth bla bla.
The problem is: i'm seeing so many post of people saying that with full charge, phone can stay alive for an average of 1 day- 1 day and an half (24-36h) with a normal use.
My phone can last 13-14h staying most of the time in standby and it's the 5th cycle so should be "stabilized" now. 1st cycle was awful, 8h (didn't expect anything else), then things got better but i've reached this cap of 14h.
I've tried Fugu kernel at first but i didn't get much improvement so i switched to paul kernel and changed modem too (jvk->jvt).
Still can't reach the dreamed 24-36h, i mean, i don't care about having 2 days of battery life, i would like to use the phone without having to charge it in the middle of the day.
btw nstools installed and set Deep Idle on, which seems to works just fine for me with the paul kernel.
(can't post outside link -.-)
nstools stats:
h*tp://i44.tinypic.com/6duvzb.png
does these stats means it's working?
i'll post also CPUspy stats:
h*tp://i43.tinypic.com/35052qf.png
is it everything ok here?
On standby there's no battery drain effect now, but when i'm using it, i get 1% down every 1-2 min.
What do you guys suggest? do i need to try other kernels/modems? shoud i try to flash again?
p.s. on 2.3.5 stock i used to have 24-36h but there's no way i'm going back to GB, i love ICS.

I used to have 24h of battery life, but I don't know what happened, after a week or so now my phone is draining 20% every hour, dead by noon...
Tried NStools with undervolt, and it didn't change anything.
It's now an useless piece of junk... this is retarded, either i will try reinstalling ICS or im going back to GB.

maybe your problem is caused by an app, or more than one, which are using push notification, you sould try uninstalling some...
Tried undervolt too, i got maybe an hour more.

Update: i just flashed again with RC3,1 and paul kernel. Situation seems a little better, gonna update again after few battery cycles.

What thing is in the battery status menu?
If it is media server: settings-->apps-->all--> Mediastorage-->force stop(dont wipe data)

sure! with the new paul kernel the battery life is better! amd now i'm trying the last glitch...my phone seems to work better...!i will hope to have also a good battery life without hard drain (with didle support maybe it's possible!)

actually, there was a lot of "Android OS" usage, maybe something went wrong from the beginning, the phone wasn't going to deep sleep state when put on stan-by and use more cpu than necessary when active, that must have been the main issue.
As i said, installed RC3.1 again this morning now everything is gooood
Lots of facebook, whatsapp, camera and 1 call, still have 67%. When put on standby battery almost doens't drop at all (checked on battery graph).
I think it's solved

I've the same problem. my battery life sucks...
Now my question. Where can I find/download the paul kernel? I#ll re-flash it too .
And my second question, do the "devil - der teufel" kernel do a great job too?

dunno about devil kernel, i read that for someone is even better than paul and it solves also "green screen" issue that appear when you lock the phone. I'm happy with this config so i won't touch it until RC4
I confirm that ,now, when my phone is in stand-by, battery usage is almost 0.
btw paul's kernel can be found here:

I have flashed RC3.1 yesterday, it lasted for 8 hours. I was using it heavily to check all the features, syncing the contacts etc. I have drained the battery fully now. Will charge it upto 100% and see how long it last now with normal usage.

dunno about devil kernel, i read that for someone is even better than paul and it solves also "green screen" issue that appear when you lock the phone. I'm happy with this config so i won't touch it until RC4
I confirm that ,now, when my phone is in stand-by, battery usage is almost 0.
btw paul's kernel can be found here:

Battery Drain
hello everyone - I have been searching a lot abou this i9000 battery drain on ICS. I am using ICS and Devil karnel and battery lasts for around 11-12hrs. My usage is pretty normal. I dont use phone for most of the time but still it reaches to 12hrs mark. If I check battery stats then Android OS and Display (brightness is very low) are consuming most of the battery.
Please let me know if there are any ROM Tweeks or any other way to increase battery time. Or I will have to go back to GB because I hate charing battery two times a day.
Thank you.
