Hi all.
Since today the battery conditions of my i9000 are very bad. It lost 19% in 35 min without doing anything special.
It has 63% only for the screen and I think that´s not normal.. The phone runs with automatic screen brightness, but the screen was on lowest brightness during this time.
I can remember that normally the screen had about 35%
I hope you understand what I mean, it is a little bit hard to explain
My i9000 runs on aokp-b34-anarkia-0.1.1.
What can I do? Or what did I do wrong?
Greetings,

Get rid of facebook app and install Friendcaster..... A great alternative that is faster and won't eat ur battery alive...

But facebook seems not to be the main problem, does it? Because the screen brightness has such a big percantage... More than normally.

After using friendcaster for 10 minutes it seems to have the same battery usage... So this might not be the main problem.

screen time on?
tap screen and check for how long the screen was active .
that should answer your question . I think a reflash of your from would solve the issue
welcome to hit thanks if I helped you out
got ns tools ?
the problem for both u and me ( I assume ) is ns tools if you have it .
you can freeze it or get rid of it . it solved it for me
seems to be prob in most rooms with ns tools
Download an app called battery calibration from market.Charge your battery to 100% open app and press calibrate and remove the cord.now use your phone until the shuts down (0%battery) charge your phone to 100% WITHOUT turning it on,when finish changing boot it up.
now your battery is normal.

Yep. Worst app ever.
Try "Friendcaster" instead. U still get notifications too..
I use 2 methods to reduce battery drain
First , Turn off screen animations & live wall paper , use a dark or black wallpaper it would have a magic effect in reducing the battery .
Second , use a task killer program , for example I use "Advanced Task killer Manager" , then I set it to autokilling all programs when I turn screen off , of course you can set an ignore list to ignore your favorite programs .

Hi There OB Users,
Just curious about your battery life.
Please post how long your battery can last.
What ROM and apps you using.
Mine can last roughly 20 hours on low usage (3G ON)
With Wifi ON, it's about 10 hours.
I'm using an app called "2X Battery" (can be found on market)
I'm running NOVA 4.5 ROM
Really appreciate it.
NOVA 4.5
Last three days I didn't use that much my phone so I could test how long does it go without charging.
Calling ~3min
WiFi - 5min
Camera - 10 photos
Winamp - 2h
Display was on about 1.5h
Other apps (no games) that don't use internet - 20min
At 5% I had to charge it for next day. So 95% = 2 days 18 hours. It would be 3 days if I didn't look what time is that often.
But for "normal" every day use, it's 1.5 days. I don't use internet because it's slow in my city (and it's optional for my plan). And at this moment I don't have WiFi router at home (I broke antenna).
Hey there.
here: NOVA v4.5
I use my phone a lot, like 2 hours of 3G network (lot of whatsapp, and quick web search). 3G aways ON
1 hour of calling
3 hours of music
The battery life is about 10 hours.
It would be great if i have at least a day, using it like i do.
Maybe undervolting?

Check if you have apps which refreshes between intervals (or even push notifications) and avoid them.. the best solution is to disable Wi-fi and, if you are not a demanding person by others, switch to airplane mode while you sleep!
EDIT: If it doesn't work, just go to recovery and clear dalvik cache

Unfortunately, along with many of the downsides of CyanogenMOD, battery life is an absolute joke. I think you'd be lucky to get over 24h of usage on that ROM. I have no idea why, but it seems that it sucks the life from your phone WAY too quickly.
For those having battery life issues, I'm on Zeus 6.11o and i've increased my battery life by just:
Using a good governor (smartassv2) to control CPU usage when screen off.
Recharging from dead to 100% seems to increase battery life.
And after using playerpro for an hour, surfing the net, using NBA.tv, 3G always on, an hour or so of Kairosoft gaming and i'm currently at 73%.
So life's good under the hood.
wait for ics. im using L7 right now, the battery life is way better than gingerbread.

thank you very very very much it totally works! and i'm start use my phone in 2G.
Hello, i have P990 maybe 3 weeks on android 2.3.4.
Yesterday: battery lived for about 8 hours...
and in options-> battery use-> on screen phone have over 70%
What is On screen phone ?
what i can delete it or stop it?
Sry for english, I hope you understand my problem .
I think on screen phone is just the display. To improve battery life try and calibrate it, search for battery calibration on the market at follow the instructions
on screen phone is a program to work with your phone on the pc screen.
If you dont want to do that you don't need it.
You can download advanced task killer from the market and use that to kill that kind of programs (like carkit etc.)
Better is to root your phone and download titanium backup and freeze programs you don't use.
Or download root explorer and use that to renam the programs (in system/app) to .bak (like LGonscreenPhone.apk to LGonscreenphone.bak) and then reboot.
LOOK OUT you don't do that to programs your phone need to boot.
Hope this helps
Greetz, Stefan

Hi there is a general thing to do, beside using task killer which it is giving a nice help, you could check how often your phone it is updating facebook, gmail and other services, this is itinerancy.
The other thing to do it is to diminishing brightness of the screen.
here are some general things to do
either way, you could go and google it ¨android save battery life¨, the first 2 finding will be very good to put in practice.
i hope this is helpful.

moises :cyclops:
Also, you can calibrate the touchpad brightness to increase battery life.
however, best idea is to get a custom rom and optimized kernel!!
Since I have used Custom ROMs my battery live is much better than stock.

Had same problems, but now with cm7 and custom kernel the p990 runs for round about 2 days.

I seem to be getting about 4.5 hours of battery life (heavy use) . is that normal for a galaxy s or is there something I can do to fix this ?
am using dark knight 5.5
I followed installation instructions to the letter regarding installation.
the phone is a year and a half old as well . should I replace the battery ?
also was wondering if there was any way to bet rid of the back light of the hardware capacitive buttons ???
I had the same issue, but it's working fine for me now, phone is also 1.5 years old.
Few tips:
- Download Battery Calibration Charge battery to 100%, calibrate, unplug phone.
- And also go to the lowest screen brightness as possible.
I doubled my battery life on average use (from 14 hours to about 28 hours) , you should get better results heavy use as well.
problem fixed ! thank you !
hey thanks a bunch sanderpovic .
I figured out my problem . I had already calibrated and brightness is at auto , but the real problem was ns tools . it made the CPU usage maximum by default ! like as if I set the governer to performance ....
I updated ns tools and now seems to be OK
thanks a bunch for replying will try with zero brightness today n see .

The battery is rapidly drained when you use the phone: I must charge twice a day.
I hate laptop. So im done all of works by phone. Bt ics 4.0.4. have super battery drain ( DK5, IMM76I, clean aokp b34, anarkia 0.1.7 ). By using jvu, jw5, rc 4.2, imm76d, IM charging twice a day bt now its 4 or 5 times. IM thinking I should go back 2.3.6. Plz help me.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Hay IM doing this but it not work for me, but some one suggest me after calibration battery, then use it until 0% n off phone automatically. Then charge phone 100% n then its get less battery drainage. Is it right?
Sorry for my bad English.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
yeah by doing that your phone shows you the actual battery .
when you flash roms the battery stats gets corrupted so when you caliber ate the battery the battery stats file gets deleted and the system generates a new one . by letting it fully discharge and recharge to a hundred it gives you a more accurate battery level
simple ans : yeah ....
im gettin sd card scanning error on dark knight v5.5

I charged my phone to 100 percent and left it untouched for 6 hours. Then a shock. It was down to 81 percent with absolutely no usage. Please help. I was not connected to either wifi or data.
Edit 1 : it drained from 81 to 73 for a 5 minutes use.
Sent from my Android Rocket using Xda Premium
Akilesh - you need to see if any app was running. Over the weekend mine went from 60% down to 12% because Titanium Backup got stuck trying to delete an app and kept my phone running at 200mhz which will drain your battery. Go into settings/Battery and see if any app is at the top of the list. Your phone should not lose 19% if you dont have anything running/syncing etc. A simple reboot took care of the stuck Titanium Backup issue with me.
I am on full stock gingerbread with no root. Cell standby has consumed about 45 percent of drain. I'm now worried. Is there a way to calibrate the battery or reset battery stats?

Hello Akilesh, you could use an app called BetterBatteryStats to monitor your battery usage statistics.
You could root your device and then install Titanium Backup Pro which will allow you to freeze or uninstall unnecessary pre-installed applications by Samsung, which are aptly termed bloatwares.
If you do choose to root your device, kindly follow this guide by dr.ketan, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I hope this helps a bit.

screen brightness is one of the prevalent causes of your phone's battery, lower it down to a minimum level. Check if you have syncing apps in the background too, Uncheck background sync datas or account in settings if you have then check.
Now, install cpu spy from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ.. and check if your phone is in deep sleep or not at all.
Also, quit using live wallpapers (if your using one), though as you said your not using your phone for 6 hours.. the fact that if you do have a live wallpaper running, that will still eat up your phone's battery juice.

maybe it's about high time you consider rooting your phone.. so that you can install titanium backup and shoot those power hungry apps that are hidden somewhere in the framework of your system.
Yeah I'll root in a short while cleo. And is titanium back up useful is reducing battery drain?
Sent from my Android Rocket using Xda Premium
titanium backup is a tool to uninstall and freeze unnecessary apps and samsung bloatwares on your phone. When your going to remove those apps, you are not just reducing power consumption that those apps uses daily on your phone... you are also freeing some ram spaces on your phone's storage.
BTW: My name's John and 'Letters to cleo' is a name of a band that I like most.

In case you opt for a free alternative to titanium backup, there is this app called "AntTek App Manager". I found it by chance and it works exactly likeTB pro (in terms of uninstall and freeze). You have to be careful while using either of these programs

i think you install an app that its drain your battery . if you dont find that you may reset factory your phone
Just got rooted again. Now freezed all bloat-ware. Will check out how it works and post back again.
Edit : Feel the phone running a bit faster after freezing some 15-20 applications.
dont forget to try recalibrating your battery as well.
Mind you, rooting has far more greater advantages than disadvantages.
Check later on if your getting that perennial issue or not anymore...lf by chance it had made some considerable differences, then your a happy camper..
Cheers bud!
If your phone is getting into deep sleep, it can't be any application! It has to be something to do with wifi/Network! If you run 3G, try disabling fast dormancy. That did me wonders!

Battery Drain
Hi Guys,
I have similar problem. My battery started playing up and keep draining suuuper fast even at full charge. My phone and bat are already 11 months old but I don't thin the battery should die with this short time. I have data always on and screen brightness set to minimum and it has been like that since I have it with no problem. Now, after charging to 100% and removed from the outlet, then start opening an application, it will freeze and won't turn off. I need to remove the bat out to have it rebooted and it's still the when I try again. Other behavior is that the screen will flicker, will turn to airplane mode, and it will turn off even when fully charged when I launched an app. Note that (power saving is OFF and just the same when it's enabled) I can now only use my phone well when connected to charger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
there are a lot of people facing similar issues with more than 9 months old battery... mainly indicates a battery problem.. but first you should install betterbatterystats and check for wake locks and other apps using the phone when idle and eating up the battery..
My biggest drain according to bbs is Google maps, it's eating my juice when in idle, although I can get into deep sleep bbs says maps is causing wake locks.
Should I just freeze it with titanium? I don't really understand bbs much lol

Turn off custom power saving mode.. Check after that.. I faced issues with these two.. Sometimes even l2_hsic goes crazy and drains the battery.. Check that too.

hello sir..
hmm since i read that you installed various apps that kill running apps, maybe that is cause to kernel wakelock since your system always working to searching what app running and killed it in various time you set
..many system app that switch back on like google app no matter you turn off except you log out your account
or maybe you can try one off the famous airplane metode which is
- switch your phone to airplane mode
- turn off your phone and pull out your battery (until 10 sec or more)
- put again your battery and turn on your phone
- after complete reboot let it for a while then turn off the airplane mode
I had the same problem with audio_out one but only in imilka's paranoid Android.. Couldn't fix it in any way so left the rom..
the reason taskkillers are disputed is because memory works different on android. It reloads certain stuff afterbkilling it, causing a cycle of killing and reloaded that can cause more drain than is intended to safe
