Hello
I can't use my Galaxy S more than 3 hours, after that the battery is on 0 %. I've tried some of the guides here, but nothing helps. My phone is running Darky's Rom 9.1 Extreme Edition. I would be thankful if some of you could help, so i can use my phone without it should be plugged in the charger!
- Mosawer
I also got some issues with darky's 9.1. Did you tried 9.2 version? it solved most of my battery problems. but still i can't wipe battery status from the CWM.
No but i would definitely try it. I've also had Darky's rom 8.0, and the battery life wasn't the best on that also. To be honest, my phone has never survived a whole day without i should plug in the charger. I've also tried the battery wipe, but it didnt work, actually it just got worse. Before i tried the battery wipe, it could hold 7-10 hours, but now i cant use it more than 4 hours.
you could calibrate your battery, as flashing ROMs all the time can confuse the battery and make it think it is at a different % than it actually is.. try this
1. Run the device down until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it back on and wait for it to turn itself off again.
3. Remove the battery for 10 seconds.
4. Replace the battery, but leave the device off.
5. Charge the device until full and then for another hour.
6. Boot into recovery and reset battery stats (or, go to console and type “su” enter, followed by “rm /data/system/batterystats.bin”)
7. Run the device’s battery down until it turns itself off.
8. Charge to full while off.
9. Restart and use as normal.
when you have done that you could try a battery saving app i use juice defender its free, but there is a paid version with more features. what this does is everytime the phone sleeps (screen off) it disables all connections like 3g wifi data mode etc but still allows you to receive calls and texts..
also get your self a good task killer, and place a icon on the home screen to kill running apps quick, i do this everytime i put my phone in my pocket, making sure nothing is eating my battery apart from me when im using it.
try them methods and post back with your results in say 2days time ?? good luck
EDIT: another thing to do is use automatic brightness, this adjust the brightness of the screen depending on the ambience of where you are. e.g if its sunny the screen dims down, if its dark it brightens up... great for saving battery.
Thanks man, i will try calibrating my battery this way, but dont think i'm gonna download the task killer og battery saver, but i'll sure post my result after i've tried it !
well there is samsungs own built in task manager its good, you will be suprised what apps open up on their own and start using your connections and running processes without you even knowing. all that drains battery. but just see how you go
Well it didnt work dude, the battery life still sucks as much as before
- Anyone else who wants to help me?
Maybe u need a new battery...

If you flash a rom and the battery no longer behaves as it should and hundreds of other posts report exactly the same problem . Then is it not the rom you flashed to blame .
jje
Yeah i know, but it was after i've flashed the problem occured. I tried calibrating my battery plenty times without luck.
- I really dont know what it is, and its very frustrating!!

Hey... first off, what sort of things are you doing with your phone? Casual browsing, youtube, streaming? Wifi, GPS on?
If the battery is not defective, there must be some program instance that is draining that battery.
Wifi, GPS and that sort of things are off. I'm browsing a little bit, and then just use my apps and games, and of course i write some sms's. and hear music.
Thats the thing i'm doing on my phone.
Btw: When i unplug my phone from the charger, it immidately drops 2-4 %.

You have a darky rom its a known problem read his pages .

Is the extreme drain also a darky problem?
Read posts on darky section if you have problems likewise read posts on xxx rom section if you have that rom makes sense .

There are 2000 pages of posts man Do you want me to read that?

Running
Docs Rom Kitchen and no battery drain
Haha okay
But i would be pleased if someone have a solution for this problem!
Nothing have worked, but i finally remember how the battery drain started! It was when i decided to calibrate my battery. After i did it, the extreme battery drain started! So it has nothing to do with Darky's rom or something else, i is the battery calibratings problem. Anybody knows how to fix it???
Hey guys. I have one problem with my GT-p1000's battery. The tab was bought in UK in february and it had XXJK5 (November 2010) rom flashed in, also i haven't flashed any other roms yet.
So the problem is:
I use the wall charger to charge my tab and I usually plug it when I go sleep.
By the 19th of may it kept the charge well about 12 hours of intensive usage (web surfing via 3g/listening to music/playing HD games etc.) and I was satisfied enough.
But 3 days ago it started to claim constantly day by day on 47% that the battery is very low (1%) . I tried rebooting it time after time, deleting batterystats.bin file using root explorer, even full drain of battery up until it had no power to start and full cycle charging then, but all these attempts gave no result.
In other words, the battery suddenly drops from 47% to 1%.
I have no idea what to do in this case. Any suggestions?
P.S. Don't suggest me to flash newer rom, because it won't help to solve the problem. A friend of mine had the same problem with his tab and he tried a lot of different roms to flash, but it didn't help. He couldn't find any other solution and he finally sold it.
Sorry mate, i have the same problem. I can't use my Tab longer then 3 hours with very mildly use. From 80% to 3% in a flash, shutdown etc.
I tried lots of roms, resetting/deleting battery stats, touching the screen while turning on the tab, nothing helped.
The only thing i did not try was opening the Tab and remove the battery from the mainboard for a while. Some people say that helped. I could not find the right screwdriver so i just sent it to a repair center. I hope they will find out what's wrong.
Hello,
I had the same problem too, wiping battery stat did not help.
Flashing to Overcome v2.0 rc1 helped some people
but what I did was open up the tab with a tri wing screwdriver and unplugged battery for 30 mins and then plug it back in and it solved the issue.

even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.
i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!
Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is
Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development
i have used TeamWin Recovery for wipe all partition becouse with hard reset don't wipe /system and internal sd.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.
If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then
Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung
i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung
In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !
Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0
here's what happend
I have flashed Unofficial RR rom . It was charging regularly.
Then i flashed renice kernel.
Sometimes Phone was charging relatively slowly but then it fixes by itself .
Until recently it was occurring more and more.
NOW it charges verrrrry slowly 7 8 hours and not reaching 100%, still at 60%!!
So i decided to flash Ultimate kernel to see if anything happends..
no luck
I think somehow the kernal changed the charging voltage. or It may be that battery needs to be replaced..
How do i diagnose what the problem is ??
p.s. I have tried calibrating battery multiple times both by app and manually. Also tried multiple chargers and charging cable. Even tried to charge via pc.
Mr RR 5.8.3 is having very slow charging what can I do plz give me an answer....

If the rom was not charging above 60% you should just restart the phone with a charger on and it will just jump to a 100 it's not calibrated well calibration apps don't work
Same problem.....after the first charge after fresh flash....takes me around 10-12 hours to full charge even with a proper dock and cable.....if I use the device while charging then the charge gradually decreases...

I know that's the problem of the ROM I also experienced the same problem on that ROM change it to dot os with venom kernel 3 hour of screen on time while playing pubg mobile and if you want you can push it to 4to 5hour (venom kernel has built in fast charging 2 to 3 hour max from 0) if you didn't enable fast charging 4 hour max good luck
I am on Repulsa rom with mad max kernel. And the battery life is pathetic. From 100 to 20% there is no problem but as soon the battery goes below 20% it will literally go to zero in 10 sec and will shut down. It happens 9/10 times.. As soon as it goes below 20% it will shut down in few seconds.. This is not rom or kernel issue because this has happened with different rom and Kernel too.. If anyone can help it would be of great help..

I dont have that much knowledge but i am unrooted and happened to me serveral times as my battery shut downs in 13 percents. I looked for a solution and my issue resolved. Hope if it can help you
Maybe its calibration issue
Maybe your phone thinks 20% is 0
Try using fully discharge your battery until it shutsdown then go to recovery mode and waste the juice until it turn off and dont even boot into recovery. Then charge full with power off and again discharge to 0. Again to 100 and see if problem solves.
If not then maybe issue is with battery
I'm getting 5-7 hours here depending on the usage but to be sure go back to stock room for 5 days and check the SOT BY THE WAY I'm on Lightrom with the mad Max kernel
My phone used to be like this... so annoyed.
I tried everything but no result: using battery calibrate apps or methods, flashing stock rom, reinstalling TWRP,...
I am quite sure when your phone is at 20%-, you can't see battery % in TWRP mode :V.
I think the cause is TWRP ( data can't mount )
Here is what HAPPENED to my phone )
I flashed ECHO rom and my phone got bootloop..."Only official binaries ...."
Fine....too easy to fix... I flashed my stock rom and ta da... My phone's battery was Fixed :V
So ...you can consider bootloop your phone to fix the problem ))) Then wait 7 days without restarting your phone... reinstall TWRP ( "NOUGAT" or "OREO" ). And when you download dm-ver... zip to install TWRP, look carefully for LATEST version "LATEST". And dont update your TWRP or use themes for TWRP (Old is gold, simple is perfection :v , fuctional is too enough)
GOOD LUCK

Why wait 7 days with no reboot? Not needed if it's to make the OEM toggle visible...just wait 7 days or use the date-change workaround. Reboots affect the uptime timer but not the server-side OEM unlock timer.

Happened to me lately on stock, never rooted. Try turning off quick charge and use normal method instead for a few cycles. Maybe test on stock firmware just to be safe. If no improvement it might be a degrading battery.
I am thinking to factory reset the phone to see if the problem is solved.. N try the solutions offered ie calibration, quick charge off

Sounds good, just be careful with calibration...fully charging or discharging the battery reduces it's overall lifespan. Don't do it too often.
I did factory reset including internal storage wipe and calibration Bt still the problem exists.. Now the battery will go down to 15 then directly 14,12,10,5 in seconds even if I connect charger at 15 it will go down till 3%..

Yeah, it can be possible to degrade the battery that quickly.
It usually happens when you let your phone go under 20% frequently or let it die completely before charging it again.
I usually do the lowest 25-30% and the 80+% charge daily, then finally use it all the way to 20% before going to sleep, put it on a slow charger, and by next morning its at 100% without keeping it charged 100% all night (which can also degrade the battery, just a lot slower than discharging it completely.)
I have had my phone a week before it came out and my battery is awesome. It lasts me all day everyday. Best phone I have ever had.
