[Battery] i9000 massive drain

Hey guys
I recently noticed that my i9000 is loosing battery charge significantly (screenie attached)
I have already done the battery calibration & also changed the wifi settings.
Over and above I spun the battery on a table, it spun for about 3 whirls and stopped
So far my battery takes 6 hours to charge fully, and 3 hours to drain completely in idle state
Specs
OS: ICS 4.0.3 AOSP
Modem:XXJVU
Need help
Thanks

i use CarbonRom with makay kernel 0.517 and it´s ok for me

But your battery is okay because you wrote that it takes 6 hours to charge ...have you tested with another ROM???

ok heres the thing
i cant upgrade to JB 4.3 since the vold.fstab doesnt work (my phone went through Encryption Error phase)
so far tested with the following ROMs
AOSP 4.0.3
Slim ICS + Semaphore Kernel 1.3.0s (currently Installed)
the reason why i found it odd is the phone is draining battery even when switched off completely
Charge time: 6 Hours (100%/ 4121v)
Phone screen off: drains in 3 hours
Phone Completely switched off: still drains in 3 hours

Have you tried CM10 or 10.1?

But hwne it drains when the device is completely switched off, for me it seems that the system doesn`t stop really ...
why should the device consume so much battery when switched off ...
Could you test with CM ???

I think its a ROM issue too cause the battery problem came only after i had a failed attempt at installing JB 4.3 on my device
post which i formatted everytihng from SDcard to system, boot and used Odin to reflash GB then ICS AOSP and Slim ICS through CWM

Have you tested the kernel cleaning script ,does it helped you ...

the usage suggests
Download the zip file from the link above.
Place the file on your internal SD-CARD.
Restart to ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Install the zip like any other package.
Install the Kernel of your choice.
Reboot the device.
DONE!

yup, this too > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 seems dead, google search gives me lots of download links ( still active), but NO idea which one to use and NO support available as only downloads .
AS time goes by, this would become the norm, as developers move on to other devices and users could not be bothered to click their thanks button, or donate to show their appreciation.

Maybe a start from scrath could be a good or the last way ...:fingers-crossed:

No use
Did the following (from semaphore kernel to semaphore kernel)
1) reboot to cwm
2) flash the kernel cleaning script
3) install semaphore
4) reboot recovery
5) clear NS Tool setting
6) clear init.d setting
7) flash kernel cleaning script
8) install semaphore kernel
9) reboot system

Anyone have 2.3.6 XXJVU bootloader i cant seem to find it anywhere

[Q] I need a stable AOSP room with good battery life, can you help?

THIS IS URGENT
I'm in dire need of help, this is for my gf's phone,
It all started when she was suffering with lack of space on her phone, so I tought well, AOSP roms occupy less space so I went and installed a Maclaw's rom, the one with CM10.2, she says it phone have a battery life of 1 to 3 hours with this rom, so I tried a CM11 rom and she now has a decent battery life but with constant reboots.
The thing is she is going on a 20 day trip tomorrow with her family and I wanna give her something stable with a good battery life, I dont care if its AOSP or stock based actually, I just want something stable until she gets back and I can deal with that situation. If its an AOSP based better, but I need a stable one with a good batery life, something that wont leave her hanging by a thread when she is on the road, please help!

CM 10.2 and CM 11 are working flawlessly and completely bug-free. You shouldn't get any reboots nor a poor battery life. I'm getting about 12-14 hours of intense use with kitkat.
Slimrom is not so optimized as cm 11, which is actually the last and more up-to-date rom that maclaw realeased. Try again. Are you following all the steps? Try a clean install, format system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Or you could just simply flash odin. Tell us how it went later

Thoughts on Roms ??

Is there any Rom for this phone that is stable and fast and doesnt drain 5% battery every 2 mins ?
i really searched and tried everything but i can seem to find any rom thats good enough
MIUI is fast and smooth but battery is ok and illumination bar doesnt work that great
AOSP Fast but battery drains 20% every 2 mins and it charges in about 8 hours
ExistenZ Battery life is good but the rom is soo laggy and not so much ram available
CM 11 Full of bugs and bootloops and touch problems
Seriously what can i do for this phone

Liquid Speed 3.0 charge in 4h , free ram is 520mb after restart , very fast and batery drain is normal .
I recomend LS3.0 for You . I use This rom and not have problem . also use nayakkernel 0.3 .
But If you love bravia engin and fast charge and black theme install ExistenZ Black v1.0.5 that is good but only ram managment and free ram is bad and little lagy .

ExistenZ black is the same as ExistenZ white and its too laggy for me
for liquid speed rom i see too many people saying that they got a bootloop
so can you tell me the exact steps that you did to flash the rom and the exact steps you did to flash the kernel

Mmmm, I am using CM11 from freexperia and didnt found any problems it is smooth and fast. Using CM11 kernel. Can last 2 days with normal usage. I use intelli3G for battery saving. Using fxp306

Maybe you arent using that too many apps or something is wrong with my phone but in any other rom when i press the home button i see fast smooth animation and the home screen but with existenz the phone freezes then the home app restarts then shows after 3 seconds or so

Those problems where I believe at fxp305, something with the kernel. If you use fxp306 no problems, atleast not with my phone.

i suggest Miui, works great on 4.2.2, and no battery drain here, media too doesnt drain battery a lot.

Strange, If I read the freexperia (CM11) project of SP here on xda (development section) the only problem I come across is sleep of death (one user) the rest of the problems are related to fxp305 and the touchscreen. And one user is complaining about low touch sense, antutu bugged and art isnt working. Low touch, touch is fine with me, antutu I really dont care about benchmarks and ART havent used it yet. It is my daily rom .

problem with battery drain on cm11 official nightly

hi xda users and devs
i have problem with battery on cm11 officail nightly
the phone charges normally from 0 to 100 on 2,5 hours with the on box charger
the battery is normal until it reaches 15% then it start to drop ( from 100 to 15 about 6 hours but from 15 to 0 maybe less 15 minutes )
this problem is not on stock 4.4.4 only on cm11 official
i have tried pimped kernel works fine with battery but no video is working facebook nor youtube
great devs i got random reboot and locks
only with cm11 the problem exsists

for this drop, try to calibrate your battery and try a clean install maybe as well.
But battery life in cyanogenmod is really bad. even with no drops, you get about 3 hours screen one time while on stock rom 5 hours...

i already done every single word you tell ( calibration and clean install ) but the same .
cm11 with my usage the battery life touches 7 hours (not usual but normal is 5 or 6 hours)
no drain on pimped kernel but video is not working :/
also on greatdev no drain but random reboots

hm... i used this kernel all the time on cm11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/orig-development/cm-x-honami-v1-t2951201 it has dt2w implemented, thats a cool feature also, had no battery drain but battery life for me was not as good as stock sony, no matter which kernel....
for me the best battery life had the FXP builds cause of their kernel... maybe try that or just flash the kernel from the fxp builds
or maybe try cm12 nightlies, they are almost usable:9 with calling camera and so on, just have a look at my thread for cm12: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rom-official-cyanogenmod-12-nightlies-t3007118

i will try the kernel you suggest now ( [CM] X-Honami v1 ) on the latest cm11 build 20150111
i hope it will work fine with no random reboots or video playback problems
also tested fxp kernel from last build but the same drain too ( i think it is the same as cm kernel )
i tested cm12 already nightly official but slow charging problem (5 hours from 0 to 100 without touching the phone ) and no xposed also system ui restart after boot
also i want to ask you about your settings on fauxsound app to fix the low mic problem
thanks again for your fast reply

I got a C6903.
My installation method almost as described in the wiki
Get CM11 M12 from their website
Unlock bootloader
Flash kernel (including recovery)
Full wipe (additionally i freshly formatted /data and /system including my external sdcard)
Installed ROM
I might not be the ideal reference though, since I run without gapps. No idea how much battery they eat.
Maybe try betterbatterystats (also for free here)
I do have a problem where it tells me the AndroidOS is using a lot of CPU time, but that is just a statistics error, it does not actually drain battery. (weird)
Having almost 4h SOT when using it for 2 days, with listening to music a lot. It was the same for me with the stock rom.

Can someone help?

One of my attempts to solve, was to install a custom kernel.
It did not solve everything, but it helped.

Hi.
Installing custom kernel will not solved everything.
U should install Better Battery Stats to find out misbehaving apps which may have drain yr battery.
Cheers..
