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

i just woke up the battery is full and its showing its full
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

again .. galaxy note battery

This is my first post here. Am kinda new to the forum
Well, i know this issue have been said over and over. But i didn't get anything out of other threads
I have my new gnote on stock ICS for 6 weeks now. It's battery drain rate was about 1 % every 5 minutes on browsing. Then one day i installed game "angry gran 2" from 1mobile market, because it said on playstore not available for ur country. And since that moment the battery went crazy. Drain 1 % every 2 or 3 minutes. I uninstalled it a day later and the problem is still there. This was about 10 days ago
I checked running apps nothing is different than normal
I dunt use face book app
I uninstalled samsung push service
GPS and location services are always off
The mobile goes into deep sleep very well no problem with that acc to CPU spy. The processor which usually works is 200 mhz then sometomes 1200 mhz
All settings since the day i bought it are set to save energy "lowest brightness, sync is off .... Etc."
Now the battery does not work notmally unless every charge i remove the battery for few minutes and put it back' i did this today before i turn off my phone battery was 92 % remived battery put it back and it's 87% ! :S
Yester day about twice after going to sleep i find batter increased 1%
Can you help me please to spot where the problem is ?
I have better battery stats but i dunt understand it
And one more question please, does having large number of apps even if not running in the background cause battery drain ?
Thanks all will greatly appreciate any help

+1 on that. My note's battery runs really fast and I'm not even using it for hardcore gaming. The battery gets really hot at times too.

update: screen shot from better battery stats
Check these screenshots from better battery stats is this rate normal ?

Hi! Once I had a similar battery issue, but in my case it was after flashing a custom rom. Battery started draining much faster than usual. And sometimes battery percentage jumped up too. Have you tried to remove/insert battery, then fully charge your phone and when fully charged run "Battery Calibration" app from Play Store? Have a feeling it's not the solution for your battery issue, maybe a long shot, but still maybe worth a try if you haven't done that already?

There's no such thing as battery calibration apps, it's a con, you just put them through a few cycles and they're fully charged, modifying the battery stats does nothing for the use of the physical battery.

That is correct. The name of the app might be misleading. It does not do anything to the battery's physical condition at all.
The problem I had was that my "battery" suddenly started to drain very fast according to the battery icon in status bar. It dropped about 1%/min during screen off, and even faster with screen on. I charged my phone to 100% about 6 or 7 times. But as soon as I unplugged the cable I had that very quick drain. I guess the battery itself had much more capacity left than shown, it is in good condition... but that didn't help me because my note turned off when the battery icon showed it was low on % and I had to start charging again. Then I ran this app, which only thing it does is to simply delete batterystats.bin file if I understand it correctly. I don't know much about these stuff, but after that the usage time of my phone is back to normal again

I just had a look at Play Store and all the apps I saw that does remove batterystats seem to need root. Probably it is a system file you can't touch without root access then Also, the battery issue you have might be caused by something else.

Well i wish it can be solved this way ... Coz other option am.gonna take is downgrading to GB then factory reset as i understood this won't brick my phone if I got it carrectly
May be it's calibration thing ... Check the attatched photo the batteru since 3 a.m. To 9 a.m. Is almost at same level or increasing .. Maybe it's some kinda of system calibratoon of battery indicator against battery fast drain while working .. I dunt know

In system settings > battery: what is reported there?
Have you tried boot in "safe mode" to see if it still drain the same way? It will exclude most of user installed stuff as your downloaded apps and such from running.
But remember you might loose some user settings on your phone when booting normal again after safe mode.

although battery calibration app does nothing to do the battery hardware, but it does calibrate on how the battery percentage is being read by your phone. It wiped your battery status, allowing 100% charged to be read as 100% charged. sometimes, due to various reason (ie. flashing without fully charging), your battery status will be inaccurately read by your phone. For example, you charge your phone upto 2000, havent completely charged to the max capacity (2500) but the phone already read 2000 as 100%. and because of this, it will look like your battery drain really fast or the percentage jumping up and down. i guess.
wiping battery status requires you to have root access. thus, this app will only work when you have rooted your phone.
it is true that after a few cycles (not sure how many times) of charging the battery status may go back normal but hey, if we can make sure to do this calibration with only one cycle, why we have to do more?

My battery is crazy. Yep in deep sleep some times it increase 1 % .... On the other hand while working with the phone it drains very rabidly at a rate 3-3.5 % per minute .... Either on wifi or not ... It's normal rate used to be 5 % per minute till the day iinstalled that game and the problem persists even after i removed it
As for the explanation in the thread ptovided it does not make sense to me .. Because every time the battery jumps up the battery drain becomes soooooo rapid afterwards

I was trying to find a way to root my phone but i can't find any data on the web ! For some reason that way of rooting tgat was on xda deleted ...
But I have a question ... I always wait rill my phone completely empty and charge it till completely full ... I leave it in the plug about an hour till the complete sign shows in notification bar
Does this mean that way that my battery is already calibrated and i shouldn't try to bother to root the phone and get the app ?

There's Dr ketans thread on rooting in the stickies of development section, it's very simple.
After 1 or two full charge cycles, the battery will recalibrate itself, no need for any app, they don't do anything anyway.

I tried safe mode .. And yeah performance is a little better though still not like before .. it bought me an extra minute per 1% drain .. So i dunt know what that says ? I checked running processes the only difference that facebook and avast antivirus dunt run in safe mode .. Which were probably always there since i got the phone nothing new..

Hello everyone, need some advice. I am unable to know if my battery is functioning normal or should i get it replaced. Please see the atached picture. You will see that my battery draining off within 4hrs with 2G data on. It has been happening from past 2 weeks. Just want to know if it is normal on 2G. Or should i get my battery replaced with a new one. I have read somewhere that with 2G battery of Galaxy Note lasts for about 6 to 7 hrs. Mine goes for just 4 hrs max.
Few details about my usage:
1. Data sync is not on all the time. But for every half an hour i keep data sync on for 30 for 40 seconds max to retrive mails.
2. I dont not watch any videos, online or on mobile.
3. I dont play games at all though i have around 20 games bcoz of this poor battery life.
4. I do not do video calling.
5. With the above usage and little bit of online videos using wifi, I get around 3 to 4 hrs of battery life.

[Tips] Improve Battery Life on cm10.1 Rom

My phone (galaxy mini) has battery life issue on cm10.1 rom, which is that battery drains very very fast. for example, i just do texting, browsing, tweeting and lil bit gaming, my phone battery lasts only for 4 hours, even less. i ve used tweaks, scripts, apps to improve the battery life.
I found these all work:
No. 1: calibrate your battery
drain your battery till your phone shut down, charge it till is full (wait till no charging sign on the battery icon - ignore charged notification on lockscreen).
do it couple of times.
No. 2:
a. change this line in build.prop
from
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
b. change egl.cfg
from
0 0 android
0 1 adreno200
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
0 0 adreno200
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. 3:
odex the rom (partially, so you are able to change phone's theme).
Follow these steps:
1. move these apps : contacts,
mms, phone, settings and systemui, from /system to another folder (use non-default launcher).
2. run the app (attached on this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156287 ).
3. ur phone will automatically reboot.
4. move back contacts,
mms, phone, settings and systemui to the /system after odex has finished.
No. 4: recalibrate battery using rom
(use lastest erikcas' cm10.1 rom or goldchang's cm10)
it happens times ago.
so today i backed up the rom. then i installed goldchang's cm10 (my phone lasts up to 12 hours in standar usage when i was using this rom), i used this rom for couple of hours, and i backed it up. then i did factory reset-wipe cache partition-wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. and i restored rohan's rom. i dont know how, but now my battery life gets much much longer. it's been almost 6 hours (when im typing this thread), my battery has 29% remaining. for me it's superr.

hopefully those work on ur phone.
credits belong to
rohan , erikcas and devs for awesome rom.
no.2 point a to dheeraj (dhlalit11) for build.prop tweaks thread.
no.2 point b to clayteau.
no.3 to nixoman for odex thread.
and goldchang.
g'day and salaam.

the trick is with battery stats wipe and not with goldchangs rom...that's quick calibration..
some times old battery data might cause excessive drain..so wipe battery stats also while installing a new rom...it wont effect much but u never know..i recently saw an article about this in google tech page somewhere
but mostly the drain might due to an app, so see if the app activity is still running in background even after u killed it..if such an app exists then uninstall it u will get more battery life..

actually, i wiped battery stats after fully charged maany times and freeze some apps too, those things didn't work.
well, like i mentioned before, i have no idea how it happens, but my battery life gets much longer, for real, yay.
yeah, but what if the 'background' app is must not be stopped i.e launcher, we shouldn't stop it right?

we talking about 1200mah baterry, righT? manufacture said it last for 6 hours of Edge, that means heavy usage, right? so, if you are using your phone a lot, that means 6 hours of internet, mms and calling, it wont get any over 6hours...for me, facebook offiiciall app and whatsapp drain battery like hell...so i delete fb, but whatsapp is must for me...same result...so no matter you do, even with deep sleep, its 6 hours of heavy usage...i also have Nokia e7, same capacity of battery, and same durability, 6 hours of heavy usage, except on nokia e7 battery goes quickly for its screen , not background app...android consume a lot of battery, its a fact, so there is no a chance that someone else calibration or tweaks can result better battery capacity...but, if you set your CPU mhz at normal level (600-248 at ondemand), you can get a good battery backup...is that cpu level its ok for you, than its ok..but running cm10.1 with that cpu level for anything else but music and opera mini, its useless...so, what ever you do, its still 1200mah capacity, remember that...your usage, is something else

take a look at my first post, my phone had has three 'phases':
1. rohan's rom before (poor battery)
2. goldchang's (awesome battery)
3. rohan's after (awesome battery, yay!)
my phone usage on those three is nearly same, even the number three i suppose is the heaviest because i haven't charge my phone till now (i charge whenever battery came to 4-1%, it's long enough from my last charging). take a look at ss.

here's a thread about battery calibration
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821870
*there's a link tells that battery calibration is a myth, IDK

About Battery Callibration, I dont think it increases battery life. It just resets the .bin file stats to show the battery indicator (in status bar) correctly. Do it once after you flash a new ROM (after charging 100% + 15-30 minutes) & then calibrate either from CWM by resetting battery stats/ using the app in playstore called battery callibration . It will then show the correct battery indications.
Many people dont do this and then they complain about battery dropping suddenly but it is actually not dropping. Its just the indicator which is wrong.

so is that means when indicator says phone is fully charged, the fact is not full charged?

Only the first time you flash a new ROM. Just let that notification come and then charge an extra 15-30 minutes & then callibrate once. Thats more than enough.

Re: [Tips] Prolong Battery Life on Rohan007's cm10.1 rom
I tested battery with Extremely Heavy and Harsh usage. And it lasted for 1:40 mins.
What was the test?
Running whatever the phone could.
So what was running?
1. Wifi(scanning mode, not connected to any wifi)
2. Bluetooth (scanning mode all the time not just 120sec; not paired, connected with any device)
3. GPS with Gps essentials app: struggling to lock GPS for 15 min, then locked for 10min, then again lost the lock... in short it was alternating in lock and unlocked states with time gap of 10-15 min as I was indoor)
4. Video Playback: Alternating Background/foreground playback of 320x240 to 640x480 res Videos with mx player
5. Screen brightness 100%, wake lock on, speaker volume 50%, cpu usage 600mhz ondemand
6. camera on all the time(+ small 10min video recording), with gps essentials app
7. Egprs: 20min surfing, sync on all the time(no social apps)
8. May be I forgot something.
Specs:
Device: galaxy mini
ROM: CM7 autoradio v8 or CM10.1 (forgot)
Battery: A newly purchased genuine 15 day used battery.
Note:
Test date: 6-feb-2013
Everything I mentioned was CONSTANT, SIMULTANEOUS On for all the test period.
Battery was calibrated which was showing true stats.
I do not have any battery usage (right now searching for any screeshot if i captured, mistakenly )
phew, so harsh test. how did it managed. In normal scenario the battery only last for 4-5hrs with no gps, wifi, Bluetooth, camera or 3g on. Maybe I will switch to Stock rom for long lasting battery usage as battery charging even when the phone is off is totaly, wierd.
Like post? Just Thanks me in ur hearts, no need to "presss" thanks.

extremely dangerous, do not try this at home .
i thought GB stock rom has a poor battery life, even for standard usage.

take a look at my first post, my phone had has three 'phases':
1. rohan's rom before (poor battery)
2. goldchang's (awesome battery)
3. rohan's after (awesome battery, yay!)
my phone usage on those three is nearly same, even the number three i suppose is the heaviest because i haven't charge my phone till now (i charge whenever battery came to 4-1%, it's long enough from my last charging). take a look at ss.

CM10.1 battery issues

Im a sucker for AOSP Android Its smooth and simple just the way i like things. The only thing that keeps me going back to a Sense ROM (namely Nik Project X Rebirth and ARHD), is a slight battery issues. To put it simply, it either takes an extremely and painfully slow time to charge my phone from even 60% - 100% (about 6 or 7 hours which, if Im not wrong, should be the normal full charge of an HTC Incredible S stock??). After a week or two, the battery just screws up entirely. It takes EVEN longer than 5 hours to charge up like 20% of battery. Furthermore, it stops charging at 60% as if the battery was full!! I know this is not an issue with my battery because as soon as I flash any other ROM (thats not CM10.1 related) the battery starts charging up again. Dirty flashing CM10.1 nor clean install of CM10.1 seems to work for me
Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible fix?
I understand that I probably should be placing this thread in CM10.1 threads. I have posted in CM10.1 by dla5244 thread as well as the Lacoste thread. Yet no one has even RESPONDED to this issue.

Thanks for your input but does not really help because my issue lies where my phone refuses to charge, not where my phone runs out of battery.

I had checked with HTC customer care.. they had asked me to discharge the battery completely, remove it for about 30 s and then charge using USB..
I performed the above steps but instead of switching on the phone, I kept it switched off while it was being charged..
What I noticed was the battery charging status jumped from 0 - 67% in 1 hour and then to 82% in next 1.5 hours.. post then it stayed there..
From what I deduce, it does not appear to be a software problem.. I am primarily facing with lots of ROM, AOKP, CM10.1, MIUI, Stock - Sabsa, Viper

The first thing I would do is look at settings>battery and see what apps are using the battery. Don't do it immediately after a reboot. Let it run for a little while.

Install wakelock detector o betterbatterystats.
Charge full reboot unplug let it untouched for a couple of hours check what's waking your device

The Best thing is first calibrate you're battery and see if it works or you just charge you're phone to 100 present and just keep you device a side and see if you're battery is draining again just go and see which app is draining you're battery and delete that app or do a factory reset ..!! Make sure to calibrate you're battery first
Calibrating : download and app called advance battery calibrate and follow the instructions given by that app and shut down you're device and charge you're device offline and after charging it 100 present then reboot and see it should work
If no : might be problem in you battery...!!?
Note : start calibration when you phone is about to die i.e when you're phone is at 5 to 6 present of battery left

wow!!!!!

Battery calibration apps just wipes batterystats.bin which is also wiped when 100% is reached, then they are just placebo, they won't hurt the battery.
Offline charge might help if there's an app draining and heating the phone during charge, it might take longer to charge if you have an app draining battery.
Best you can do is to not let battery runs under 15% and try to not completely depleat the battery.
