Green Power drains battery

Hey everyone,
after flashing thousands of kernels and ROMs I finally found out what drains my battery: It's Green Power (I even bought premium...)!
This app is supposed to SAVE battery via toggling data on and off like Juice Defender but somehow it makes my CPU run mad... Has anyone else experienced this so far? I'm really upset cuz I paid money for this crappy app but I'm also glad that I found eventually out the cause of draining
Cheers!

pfff.. discovery... GreenPiss is draining my wallet, so it is logic that GreenPower will drain your battery...

I use green power premium too, but so far I haven't any problem with battery drain.
Why you think that it's the cause?

Well since I uninstalled it, my battery life has increased a lot! That's why

Check battery use from settings,there you can see if it causes the battery drain

Switched to Juice Defender, so it's same as before.

Delete all these stupid apps and allow phone for a great deep sleep.

You can instal the Devil kernel and activate "Deep idle"

Also try JuiceDefender

Sorry Bit i use both deep idle and also juice defender, i really dont know what to do!

I'm going to say it's the kernel as I'm running the standard one that comes with Cyanogenmod 9 and I don't have this issue. Actually, my battery is above average.

There's a big issue with i9000's running hot and having high drain at the moment. I'm not sure what has caused it on mine. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to CM9 but I have flashed back to 3 different varieties of stock ROM/kernel and same story. Gets really really warm when under load and battery drains at the rate of around 20% an hour when the screen is off, phone is in airplane mode and NOTHING is running (i.e. in deep sleep).
At a real loss as to what to do about it, I've seen a thread about 500 posts long on the official Android forums with i9000 and i9100 users all expressing their frustration over this.

In your battery stats what is showing high drain? Also instal better battery stats and run it for a while to drill down what is causing problem

Hey, appreciate you are well intentioned but have been through all possible diagnostic steps and all documentation/suggestions I can find online. I am an experienced IT pro and have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested ANYWHERE by ANYONE and there is no fix.
Screen is showing the most, followed by MediaServer then Apollo player. Problem is the battery drains when all those things are killed (i.e nothing is running phone is in deep sleep). This happens overnight when nothing is runnning at all. The battery stats do not change. The processor does not show anything as being used.
Many people have already been through the diagnostic steps and there is simply no answer.
Refer this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635614
There is a reported bug on the official android site as well but I'm on my work PC and don't have my history from home to drag it up again.
Basically symptoms are
- Battery drains exceedingly quickly ~15% when idling and 25% per hour when in use.
- All diagnostic tools show nothing running or using your battery or CPU
- Phone is warmer than usual in any state (i.e. idling/charging/under load)
- Most folk I've seen with the issue have flashed to CM9 at some point but that is not a consistent truth.

Another screenshot that shows that the mobile standby consumes almost the same of screen

In your first post, i saw your "señal de red móvil", is very poor. Have one or two little line green ( best signal ).
As is the signal coverage where you are? The signal is good or poor?
and when you get with wi-fi on, the battery drains very fast.
Sorry for my poor english.

its poor man, thats why i want a battery saver modem, and the wifi battery drain its horrible, please help me!

I use CM9 nigthly with you, but no have this issues. Experiment another modem ex. JVU.
Sorry for my poor english.

Go to Dev, to siky_dudes Cm7/9 modem thread. A modem is a modem, they just need repackaging as zips which he kindly did for people like you!

Did you have this problem from the beggining? I am using Dark Knight 3 ics, and for many months everything was okay. One day, i had battery drain. Even after a reboot, the drain was there. I reinstalled and it works fine again

guys, now i have a almost one full day with normal use, i dont know if i can get better results or whatever, but im happy with this result, i've done it downgrading to GB and i'm happy with it, but i would prefer to stay in ICS, but well im not bad with GB.

Battery, seriously?!

I was satisfied with my battery's life.. untill now. I haven't flashed any new ROMs or kernels recently and after 4 hours of medium use (around an hour of facebook, 3G) there's only 38% left. Any advices?
Running CM10 stable, Mackay's kernel. This combination used to give a perfect battery life for me. Screen brightness is the lowest.

Something's keeping your 3g connection active is my guess, and your device awake obviously...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Consider using any sort of battery analizer like THIS one. Usually helps you solve the issue.

3G is off all the time, exept when I am actually using it.

Buy BetterBatteryStats and find out what the problem is...
Also how are you sure 3G isn't on? Do you turn it off manually? Mine doesn't shut down when I put the phone to sleep, for some reason.

my wife was complaing of fast battery drain after updating to jellybean (from GB)
googling around and from betterbatterystats it seems to be mediascanner thats doing it, i think that soemthing is continually looking for new media on the sd cards
I didnt find an answer except to go back to ICS, which is going to be real soon if no solution
anyone have a better way?

Odp: Battery, seriously?!
Go to settings > applications > find download manager and force stop it. Believe me, it works, I had the same problem it keeps the media server still running, so when you shut it down, it will stop draining battery.

i had similar problem on CM10 stable, media server was draining about 60% of battery over night. Did some google search and found that you have to ways to solve it: play any mp3 from media player or reboot SGS. i did both and it helped.
Then I got BD on radio (3g) and didn't find solution so I changed ROM.

xperia z battery issues

Hi all
I'm new to android and am having some major issues with my Sony New xperia z.
First off stamina mode is simply not working. It did to start but it's now not changing the expected battery life when toggled on and off. That's just the start though.
Battery life had been absolutely terrible. I have been deliberately stopping myself from using the handset just so I can make it through the day.
I have come from an iPhone 4 and am quite a heavy user normally, my battery always lasted well beyond one day. New I know the screen and processor on this are awesome but I'm literally not going to be able to use any apps or anything if this is the true battery life.:crying:
I noticed that android os was taking the majority of my battery for just if today, screen has since taken over since I got in because I've been searching the net for potential answers.
Android services is up there as well. I installed a battery checker to see if my phone is but going into deep sleep for some reason and found that there had been something like 3000 wakelocks since last charge (unplugged this morning). I'm now down to 3% after about 13.5 hours since unplugged.
Screenshot was from before I started writing this post.
Any help please. If this isn't some sort of bug/fixable errorI might have to see about returning this phone!
Is this amount of wake locks normal? How can I tell what's stopping my phone from sleeping? I'm new to android other than my nexus 7 which had always been amazing in terms of battery.
Thanks all
John

Try a factory reset or wait for a firmware update.

Not wanting to have to reinstall all apps again forma second time. Any other tips? Any way to check what's keeping it from sleeping?

Are you using gsam battery app??
It has all the battery info needed.
Try not to use stamina mode.

I have downloaded gsam - its how I knew there were over 3000 wakelocks but to be honest I've found it all a bit baffling. I'm pretty sure something's happening in the background when it shouldn't be but its like trying to find a needle in a haystack - I'm not sure what processes are what, and what parts of the system should be doing certain things anyway... Does that make sense?
Its dead now, so using my nexus 7 instead. I'll charge tonight, use as normal and monitor it tomorrow. Is there anything I could post from gsam up here that you genius's could help me out with? I bow to your mightier wisdom and plead for help!!! I love my new handset but this is leaving a real sour taste and my excitement and joy of leaving iOS behind me is waning!
Should I use it without stamina mode tomorrow and see if that improved things? Or should I use it as I did today?!
Thanks again everyone for your help.

Maybe you can upload app usage screen and kernel wakelocks.
Reboot ur phone 2 3 times ant Try it tomorrow without stamina mode

[Q] Phone is always awake (battery drain overnight)

So I got my One two days ago and installed some apps, running on stock 4.1.2.
According to the system monitor my phone is ALWAYS AWAKE, even when I turn it off and only plug in the charger.
How can I solve it, how can I find what app is keeping my phone awake? I am losing like 50% battery overnight while in airplane mode
Thanks, BBLN.

It's difficoult found the app.
So try with an hard reset or see in dev settigs if there is the voice selected

Nope, it's like my phone is draining while being idle (On battery usage: Phone Idle - 50%).
I closed some running services, seems like now he is finally really idle.
