Extreme Battery Drain - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, it's me again with problems. I have an extremely battery drain, even Juice Deffender can't handle on this. When I put the phone on charger, when he turns off after 0 % battery status, indicator shows me 50 % min after only few seconds on charger, and it's fully charged for half an hour maybe. When I turn on 3g and connect to Net, from 100 % to 0% is ONLY 15 min ?!?! I have cm-7-20120812-NIGHTLY-cooper ROM, but when I had offical 2.3.6, it was the same problem. Can I check some-how what is the problem- software, calibration or battery? I did a few calibration without any success. I'm really sorry on my very bad English. I will be grateful if anybody can redirect me on the right topic. Thanks in advance

3G eats a huge battery. I would not expect anything nice from it. But seems that your problem is a bit more problematic. How long do you have your phone?

Make sure you are charging your phone until its actually full not just when it says 100% look here for more details:

Did you try wiping battery stats in CWM or recalibrating it?

I've tried wipe stats with Battery Calibration, and with CWM wipe battery stats. I've tried different ROMs, DroidACE, official 2.3.6, cooper nightly ROMs, and all of them have same problem. I've noticed that the battery is a little thicker in the middle, before it was flat, and now is a little convex in the middle. I've tried also discharging and charging for a 5+ hours, didn't help me. literally be emptied by 20 min of Use

Sheesh guys. Battery Calibration doesn't affect battery life on your phone. It's just for accurate readings -_-"

Yeah man, Ive got the same problem.
If I charge it for about 3-4 Hours, I get a max of 5 Mins or so, with Wi-fi on.
When the Battery is about 10%, and I put it to charge, It immediately says 99% charged.
I've changed 2 roms, and still no effect, infact, its got worse.
Even Juice defender (even the ultimate version) dosent work, Not even Underclocking.
I saw the battery recalibrating thing and Ive wiped the battery stats, still no use.
I think there's a problem with the battery itself?
Im just sick of it.

I also think that the battery itself has a problem, not any ROM. I'll go to service for a few days and I'll tell you about what was the problem.

Anyways, thanks man

If it's deformed, then your battery's life is over, that's it, get a new one.
You can try the freezing method to try and squeeze it for a bit of juice:
Charge to 100, Plastic wrap, in the freezer for maybe an hr (not too long), take it out, put it in your phone, charge it till it says fully charged, turn on your phone and check duration.

seems a deep sleep issue

Just abuy a new battery. I suggest a Anker branded one. Search a battery review topic at the Accesoires section. If you buy the Anker 1400mAh, your battery life will be even better than the original battery life. And Anker is trusted and cheap.

I listened to your advice and bought a new battery, now I'll see what was the problem, battery or maybe hardware/ROM. I'm charging it now. Any advice how to charge new battery? Advice for scripts or ROMs? I'm going to use nightly cooper cm 7.2 and juice deffender. What about cm9 and this model?

Since we're in 2012, I'm guessing it's a lithium ion battery.
Just plug it in and wait for some time (~15 minutes)after it reaching 100% to actually fully charge.
It would be best if you don't let it discharge below 20-30%.
Read more about lithium ion batteries by searching around the web for more info.

So, How did it go?
Was there a problem in the battery?
or, is something wrong in the phone?

there was a problem in battery, I bought a new battery, not Samsung, but also has 1350 mAh capacity, and it's 2nd time on charging, life is about 2 days of using, average 2-3 h 3g, and playing games, half hour voice and maybe 30 sms and mails, and for me this is a very huge improvement from 15 minutes before death battery. Cheers, sorry again on my bad English

Hmm, I did get slight improvement once i calibrated using another app.
But Im still getting a new battery

anyone knows why phone's display blink-up randomly? I saw that earlier, and I thought that was because of battery, but obviously, wasn't that. It's totaly random. And, I have another question, I've played with *#*#4636#*#* code, and sometimes phone can't receive or sent messages, except when preffered network type is GSM only and only after turning on and again off airplane mode. I have cooper cm 7.2 newest nightly ROM.

I had the same issue when I was using Elegant white by TAZ.
But Then I flashed a fix for it.
I suggest you should too get in touch with the dev.
But first, flash the rom again.

Thank you. Anyone knows where is the official topic for cm 7.2 nightly cooper? I found one topic in development section, but at the end of it someone wrote that topic is closed on developer's request. And where I can find changelog? I saw that there is newest nightly update from 19.8. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=cooper

Display + Battery level

Hello,
I recently got my nexus, and rooted only two days after receiving it. I installed cyanogen's latest. I am getting low battery; in only 5 or so minutes, the percentage goes down by at least 2 percent (while using). I looked to see what may have been draining the battery, and found that the display alone was using 62% to 75% of my battery. I tried undervolting, but the display seemed to still be in the same draining range...
Is this a hardware related problem, or is this a common nexus thing?

same here, really starting to piss me off when i see people talking about 70% battery at the end of the day while my phone dies in 6 hours
Cyan?
Woah, I think this might actually be cyan's Rom.
I flash enomther's rom and i got display percentage at around 15-16% ...
I think cyan will look into this soon enough...
But for now... I guess I'm gonna wipe... :/ and stick to enom's or some other ROM...

I think the problem is only with a few people, but I know others are experiencing this. This might be something with the "latest" nexi. But idk, it's a mutual issue, a fix should be coming
Probably you are right...
But, I would like to know, what settings peolple use: like updating wheater every hour, emails, widgets,..ham many apps are running and so on, ... perhaps connected to...sometimes people dont even know that
Edit: I got my Nex in january.
The change in the display usage percentage is just due to the way the powermanager works. Its not using more battery, its just displaying how much power it is using more accurately.
have the same problem.
100% airplane mode ON no WIFI, in 5 hours 72% battery remains . (PHONE IDLE took most of this - my G1 could go 1 month with this settings)
IN 12 hours in was 6% and with LOW use of my N1.
Yesterday I removed numbers in my battery and it was a litle better, not much but a little. (about 8% better)
I had 5.0.5.1, 2 and 3 and everyone had the same problem!
CM please take a look at this. What do you need any LOG info or something!
Have you tried wiping battery stats, then charging to 100% with it off, then booting into recovery and wiping battery stats again, then charging to 100%? The few times I've had battery issues that's taken care of it for me.
I flashed cyan again with a wipe (again), but got the same thing.
On enom's rom, I get beastly battery. I think we just have to wait for a fix for the people who are affected.

Do you need root to wipe battery stats? how do you do it?
Well I did the wipe battery about 3 times and in OS it was already green light 93% full.
I WIPED and put the power in on NON POWERED PHONE. It took 1 hour more to come to the green light . than I wiped again and went to boot up.
at 11PM i had 100% battery went into airplane mode wifi OFF.
And i did one other thing. Some of you had the battery drain issue with trackball wake. So I disable it.
7 hours of this and I got 97% - beautiful
before that I had 72% so there is a difference.
Now I have to see if the wakeup trackball is the cause of this or the wiping the battery stats.
Will eliminate one and other and keep you posted
I took my phone off the charger at 4:30am and the next day at 5:30 am i had 12% battery left. i used my phone a total of 3 times. most of the time it was on standby. i have setcpu with my phone UV and UC to try to save battery with profiles set up. in battery information 85% of the phones battery went to cell standby. Any suggestions on how to improve this?
Try wakeup trackball OFF in spare parts and battery % OFF in upper taskbar.
I have now from 100% to 59% in 7 hours. wifi ON all the time.
I have tried to wipe battery settings and charge fully with the phone off, but after the full procedure, I still get the same end result. I attached a picture of my battery usage.
Im pretty sure i saw a post online about the newer nexus's that were released having a better display. If this is true then wouldn't the phone's hardware alone be using more battery?
I can confirm I am having the same problem. I wasn't sure until I checked battery usage overnight. It used to be that with my phone on airplane mode I would use about 2% while I slept. Now, it's 9 or 10% with "Phone Idle" taking the lion's share of it.
I have tried deleting batterystats.bin after a full charge; powering off (while on charger); charging up to full again, but this has not solved the problem.
A few notes:
When the phone is idle (but not in airplane mode) it uses about 1.5% per hour (compared to about 1.1% in airplane mode)
I am using setcpu profiles to keep cpu usage right down when idle
Around the same time I upgraded to 5.0.5.3 I also started using the himem version of fastboot. And yes, if you suspect I don't know what I'm talking about here, you are quite right
For my next trick, I will try resetting battery statistics via recovery. What fun!
I've kept the cyan rom, and changed some settings to increase battery life. I turned off the battery percentage icon, and turned off the trackball to wake. I still got that the display was using a lot, but the battery still lasted pretty good. I guess there isn't too big of a problem on my side. It probably is the "newer displays" on the "newer" nexi. Maybe there really isnt a big problem
I changed now from CM to Enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 1.8.1 and battery now works great.
I unplugged the charger at 12.00 am at midnight and with quite good use, not extremely havey but a good use I had 30% battery left at 20:00 (08:00PM) that day.
I lost only 2% from midnight to 7:00AM in my airplane mode and with Gmail check 10 min of phone calls wifi ON all the time checking web pages and showing off my live wallpapper at my work I had at noon (12.00PM) 70% battery left!
I LIKE IT!
now I'm thinking to push Kernel - .32 & .33 to see if there is any change with my battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653598
After resetting battery stats in recovery, I still lost about 10% overnight while on airplane mode.
For my next trick, I'll use a task killer like "Process Manager"* to keep everything unnecessary switched off overnight. Maybe I'll be able to narrow it down to an application if it's not something integral to the actual ROM.
*Yes, I know it will use up the battery too

battery dies at 20%?

hi i just recently upgraded to the modaco froyo rom. every time my battery percentage hits 20% the phone dies like its at zero thus making 20% unusable. ive wiped the phone, cache, and the battery stats. ive also drained it from 100-20 multiple times to recalibrate the sensors. any ideas?

call HTC and tell them you have a broken battery if you truly have performed all of these steps. You can try manually removing the battery stats first though. I forget where the file is or where it's located but you can search around, I'm sure you will find it.
The thing is I've been using the phone for a while and it just statlrted happening

I noticed that too when I intentionally let it run down to 15%, seems like its a fail-safe if you will of the phone to limit damage to either the phone itself or maybe the battery. I'm just guessing, but its not something wrong with the rom, it seems thats the cutoff point, I could be wrong though...

Effective Fix
Hey All,
I recently had the same issue with my S4 and I came across a very cheap but effective fix. There is an app on the play store called "Real Battery" that scales your battery level down to the percentage it dies it. My phone kept dying at 30% so I set the indicator to 30% and it scaled my battery level so that 30% is my new 0%. It lets you know more accurately when your phone is about to die, so that you won't be fooled when your phone says it has charge. Check it out, its called Real Battery.

Usual battery drain

Hi,
So I bought an Anker 1800mah battery about two months ago, thought that would improve battery life.
Thing is, even though I own the I9000 a very long time, I don't know how battery life should be.
So my question is...
For example, if I have data and GPS on and screen on, is it normal that I get 1% drain every 1.5-2 minutes?
Using ICS CM9.

Turn gps off and set brightness to around 20%. You should then lose 1% roughly every 3:30 - 4:00 minutes.
Weird I lose 1% every 10 min sometimes more
Sent from my Awesome I9000 running Slim Bean
Hi all,
First, from what I remember, my old battery acted somewhat the same. Also, I used it for a year and a half, and have totally destroyed it because of all the calibrations. By a calibration I mean draining the battery to 0%, charging to 100%, doing it about 3-4 times... Only later I have learned that it is not healthy to the battery to do that so many times. That's why I only did this 3 times with my new battery (Manufacturer instructions).
Now, thing is, I gave the example with the data and GPS on and screen on because I used GPS for navigations a lot of times. So, I can't turn off GPS. About the brightness, its set to automatic all the time, so I see no reason to modify it myself.
I'm currently using CM9 Blueberry edition but I'm planning to change to JB in a few days. Even though I doubt it, any chance battery life will improve with JB?
Latrop, with the same settings? Having data + GPS + screen on all the time (10 min)? Are you sure?
Mine did not sure bout yours

[Q] Fluctuating battery charge

My battery charge fluctuates, sometimes it goes up from 5% to 35%, sometimes it seems depleted (2%) and if I check in 15 minutes it's 10% and so on.
I'm running CM 7.2 and previously Darky ROM 10.2. Since this started happening I've used a couple of the top-rated battery calibration tools, but to no avail.
Any ideas? Is it a hardware problem? Or a driver problem with the custom ROMs? Or something else?
Try the following If you haven't already.
Charge phone until it says it's full.
Discharge until it turns off. Try to turn it on to make sure it's absolutely flat.
Do this again.
Then charge it periodically so that you keep the percentage between the 20 and 90 approximately, and see if it improves.
Repeat first steps.
Wiping battery stats and similar "calibration" has no effect on neither the percentage shown or battery performance.
Sent from horseback.
Thanks for the advice, I'll try it and see what happens. Any ideas to the cause of all this? Also, would buying a new battery help?
I don't really know the reason why this is happening, Li ion batteries can be somewhat of a black arts.
A new one should fix it anyway, and they're very cheap where I live at least

I passed through Same problem when i had updated my mobile to jelly bean for first time. But after 7-8 days fluctuates is decreased from +/-20% to +/- 2%. And fluctuates are gone after 20 days.
So dont worry, just wait for 20 days.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, not rooted, and it does this all day. 80%, 14%, 78%. All in a matter of minutes.
I'm discharging fully then doing a full charge to see if it changes anything.
My Sensation never did this and the apps I have are the same. In fact I've installed less on the Nexus...
same problem

[Q] Battery problem, drops to 0% randomly

I'm aware that this problem has happened to others, and I have seen solutions for this problem, but every fix I've come across works temporarily...and by that I mean a day or two.
While using my Atrix HD, when the battery reaches between 20-35%, the battery will suddenly drop to 0% and shut down. This usually occurs when I am using an app, such as MixZing or the camera app. Any attempts to turn the phone back on cause it to shut off again as soon as the boot animation finishes. The only way to keep it on is to plug it into a charger, and when it does boot, the battery shows the same percentage it had when the phone conked out on me. I've even tried calibrating the battery using NèMa's Battery Calibration app, and the problem still occurs...mainly because I can't get the battery to drain completely so I can properly calibrate the battery.
Long story short, I need a fix, or at least a suggestion as to how I can keep this problem at bay. Does anyone have information regarding this problem?
did you ever wipe the battery data when you flashing a new rom ?
I think you need to re-reconigz the battery .

Agree. In cwm there is an option to wipe battery stats.
I had a similar problem with my HTC First where at 25 % it would go straight to 10 an then to 0 in like 30 seconds...although that was on stock rom...

I don't use the eb40 mod, it's all stock hardware. Haven't tried wiping the battery stats, though; can't believe I overlooked that. I'll give it a shot and see if it does the trick.
EDIT: CWM doesn't seem to have an option for wiping battery stats for this phone; I've tried three versions and none of them give me that option.

I suggest you first write down the current battery volume , for example , now in the system ,you can see 60% battery left .
then you shut down the phone , connect your changer , the phone will change and the battery volume show . if this volume is not equal to the No. you see in the system , it means that your system have a wrong battery data record .

Shut down my phone, battery was at 91% (had charged it overnight). Plugged it in and the charging screen showed 90%. Is that what you were talking about, with the two battery volumes not being the same?
I think it's fixed!
I did a full system reset (including formatting the system, which I apparently had yet to do throughout all this time) to install a new ROM. Today the battery drained all the way down to 2% while I was browsing the web (something that normally would shut off the phone at around 30%) before shutting off. It seems that by skipping that crucial step, the system could not properly read/calibrate the battery when installing a new ROM, which may have caused this problem.
I think it's safe to say it's fixed. For now, at least, but I'm remaining optimistic. Thanks to everyone who pitched in with an idea or just said a few words; great to know people care around here.

I did a full system reset (including formatting the system, which I apparently had yet to do throughout all this time) to install a new ROM. Today the battery drained all the way down to 2% while I was browsing the web (something that normally would shut off the phone at around 30%) before shutting off. It seems that by skipping that crucial step, the system could not properly read/calibrate the battery when installing a new ROM, which may have caused this problem.

I'm glad that you fixed it. I did the same but I still have that problem. When It's 20% it drops to 15% and then to 5% in 30 seconds.

Thankfully, I haven't had it drop that low that fast. Of course, this IS the Atrix HD, which carries such a weak battery compared to other phones in its class. Nevertheless, I feel great knowing that my phone doesn't shut off so unexpectedly. If it happens again, I'll do my best to deal with it, but for now...it's just success.
I had this problem after i force rebooted my phone, it got stuck at 1% when charging for almost 15mins. I had to turn the phone off.

Shut down my phone, battery was at 91% (had charged it overnight). Plugged it in and the charging screen showed 90%. Is that what you were talking about, with the two battery volumes not being the same?

for my understanding ,before you shut down the phont , you saw the batter volumes in system is 91% , and then you shut down the phont ,plug it in , and see the battery volume is 90% .I think in this situlation , the battery record in your system is correct ,cause 90% and 91% almost the same . I think your battery is dying , you should replace your battery

Well, a couple weeks later and I'm still not having the problem. The battery does still drain relatively fast (I go from 100% at about 9:00 A.M. to 35% at 3:00 P.M, with minimal usage such as checking Facebook/Twitter and stuff like that), but that's mostly due to the small battery capacity. The battery health is still good according to the scans and hardware checks I've done. I may, however, look into trying the EB40 mod if it means the battery will last much longer.
