[Q]Android OS using 58% battery - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im using Dark Knight 5.5 and SemaphoreICS 1.1.1..What should i do?? The battery just keeps getting used up even if its kept idle for a long time

You can try removing systems app or moving to another ROM
My Android OS only use 4 percents of battery

use AOKP or Slim ICS and see how that takes a 180 degree

CM9 is the best one. no battery drain.

It probably has nothing to do with your rom, try better battery stats from market, read the getting started guide, and check for wakelocks.

Battery drain xxjvp

Anyone know why Google Services has such high usage percentage in battery use(almost 50%)? A solution maybe?

I'm on jvp and have got no drain problems yet. Does it go away after a reboot?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
no it doesn't. It shows that Google Services is running,and the processes are Network Location and Google framework.. I can't unninstall the framework,because i can't use the market after.
If a simple reboot doesn't fix it then if you wanted yo you could do a factory reset using this code *2767*3855# in phone dialer. This will delete everything on the phone and reinstall the firmware. But it will delete everything! Also any lagfixes should be reverted back to rfs before using this code.
There maybe another fix but that's all I can suggest for now.

Did you just flash the rom? It is expected that Google Services will consume an unusually high battery after flashing. It is because google account has to sync data from phone to its servers and vice versa. Let it run for a few hours or until the initial battery runs out. After that I think your rom's battery usage will "settle down".
Battery drain seems to be fixed with 2.3.4 for me.
Do you have Latitude activated?

+1, i have one day on Stock JVP with SpeedMod kernel and battery life is rock solid! about 1-2 % per hour in stand by.
This is the 3rd day with xxjvp. My latitude is unninstaled.

I unplugged at 9.00 am and drain sooo fast.. 15% left at 1.00 pm!
but with 2.3.4 with speedmod kernel it can last up to 6 hour.. still this is not like others right? I
You must wipe the sdcard because it might have things from previous roms

Battery drain with the screen off

I've noticed that my phone spends much battery with the screen off, i think its te Modem what do you think?
Im on cm9 nightlies with semaphore kernel.
this was with almost all the time screen off and 2G, if its fault of the modem recommend me a battery saver modem.

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.

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!

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.

Is this normal battery drain?

Hey guys I get good battery when the screen is off. But whenever I use it, it seems like it drops pretty rapidly.

Depends on what you did during that period.. If the processor was running at MAX frequency the entire time, yes thus might be normal.. Also as I notice from the screenshot, the screen is always in in that time frame.. So you deduce from this

No. It's broken. You should send it to me.
Hi,
Thats an abnormal drain. Try restarting your phone and seeing if the problem persists. Also note that the ROM you are using is still under testing and not a finished product so might experience some difficulties. Consider shifting to a more stable ROM if problem persists.
Having said that, battery drain will depend quite a lot on what apps you have running in the background and your settings.
Best way to analyse the situation is by installing an app called 'Better battery stats'. Its by a XDA member and if i'm not mistaken he offers it on XDA as free download. Try to see what is causing partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks (your phone should be on deep sleep mode for the majority of time). Try to see what MHz is your processor running at (it shouldnt be in the 1400 range for too long unless you are playing some heavy duty games)
Also try to search for threads on 'wakelocks' on XDA to get more details on this subject.
I have experienced close to 10% drop in 1.5 hr in stock ROMs and around 15% in five hours on CleanNote ROM in idle states with lots of background apps disabled.

Battery burning super fast?

Whilst I have been having the screen on, it shouldn't be burning this fast and it certainly didn't use to. 23 minutes on battery and 20% burned?
Did you install a new rom or new kernel? You can install an app like BetterBatteryStats to check out what might be causing this battery drain.

Stock ROM 4.0.4 and have never rooted or flashed anything on before. It is completely stock and unaltered in every way. All I've done is install apps. It just seems to have been a little bad recently. I have BetterBatteryStats on, but the it isn't wakelocks. As I said, I've got the screen on consistently so the phone will always be awake. It is just that 20% in that amount of time seems really high, even for constant use, and I swear it didn't use to be that bad. I've installed Juice Defender because it tends to be good in how it managers network and WiFi. So far, things seem to be stabilising. But, I still want to know what can cause such sharp drainage...
Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? This is most likely the cause. Brightness is a big issue also. Flash a kernal!

Check that you have Auto-brightness enabled. Also, I found that certain apps can drain battery big time. I agree with checking via a battery stats program. Maybe an APP is running in the background causing the cpu to stay at max speed?

Totally agree. Before I root my Note to delete some unuse apps from stock 4.0.4, the battery drains very fast. The most reason is some apps running in the background.
Did you change your sim recently? Sometimes the culprit is sim card.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Not fixes, but suggestions:
- An app like Green Power will stop data usage when screen off
- As others said, look into your display. My favourite app is Display Brightness as it adds an invisible slider on your screen
- For some reason, Chrome in the last week began to EAT my phone. I uninstalled it and I'm back to a blessed 1% an hour drain

Thanks for your link, really helpful for me:good:
You may have to check your battery. Will it be hot when you are using it? Look at your battery, does it look "fat"? It happened once to me before, after changing a new battery. It's fine now. It was caused by overcharging it during the night.
I experienced it on my previous phone, now im going to prove it again in my note because i changed my sim recently and now i cannot achieved the 5 hrs i had before that my original sim card, best phone can do now is 3.5 hrs. I try to contact my provider if they can restore my previous sim card and see what will happen, its just a suspect.

u r right..all modern chargers hv that..so, it will cut off the power when charging is complete..even I do put my Note for charging & go to sleep
So, dont worry..put your charger for charging & u can confidently go to sleep :good:
If you have network location checked and or GPS in /setting/location and security.
that's your suck battery problem.

Did it just start doing this? I actually noticed this happen from time to time on about every ROM I have tried, including CM10.2 which I am running now. But it's not all the time. Just a once or twice a month it seems. And it's usually happens when it hits about 40% or so, then drops like a rock to 15%. If it's happening a lot I would try booting back to stock or running a different ROM and see if it does it there as well. If so it could be an issue with the battery. You could also try installing BetterBatteryStats (it is free here on XDA) and see if that tells you anything.
thanks for the reply sir

Hi, I also get bad battery life when I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, but I got better battery life when I installed 10.2 although I also installed less apps. Have you checked BetterBatteryStats XDA edition yet? It tells you information about kernel wakelocks that could be draining your battery life and you may be able to use this info to fix problems in your phone to improve battery life. And of course when the battery meter reports 20-30% percent it will drop like a rock by 10% (I also experienced this in the Stock ROM from 4.0.4 and 4.1.2)
