Battery's discharging very fast... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have CyanogenmodMod 10. I don't if it's normal but my battery is discharging faster than my Galaxy Ace. In my settings I saw that the screen is taking 78% of the battery. I don't know if that's normal.
How can I check if everything's normal ?
Thanks.

Use BetterBatteryStats - you can find it in the forum. Feel free to ask further questions regarding it.

What and where am I looking for exactly in this app ?

I suggest that you lower your screen brightness or set it to automatic so that the screen dims itself in night, you may also try out apps like Juice Defender, they also increase the battery backup by turning off the data when it's not in use !
Hope it helps !
And if I helped just press the Thanks button !

There is the link where I have upload a few screens of my battery usage : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uoadq1vy8zzbbk9/B6mgZMMrCZ

Hey I suggest that you try to lower your screen brightness as I said before, also try to change your CPU frequency settings a bit. :good:

Yes I'll try that but I also want to know if there's something weird on my battery usage.
Thanks for your help.

There is nothing weird with your mobile, but the hard fact is that in terms of battery backup Android is a looser
And to thank me just press the thank you button !!!

Maybe it's the 3G (data).
I had an Galaxy Ace and the battery was much longer but I wasn't using 3G with my Galaxy Ace. I didn't expect that the 3G was so solicited by the battery.

as far as I know, cm10 drains a lot of battery, try to use lower brightness and try using a Battery saving program. I use Juice Defender on CM9 and it works great.

I can suggest using setcpu profiles to reduce battery use. If you will make at least one profile to reduce cpu when screen is off, battery life will be much longer.

hehe try set cpu app and make a profile for certain time like for after 12 and before ur wake up time or something like that and set cpu usage of both minimum and maximum to the lowest possible state like 122 mhz as u dont use phone in night there is no need of excess processing speed
try this will notice a huge improvment in battery , also note that Rooting is required
also see the attachments and make sure u click on enable profile... it will surly help u out with problem of battery drainage

It's super amoled and can drain battery but not so much. Because you have so bad score i guess you works on android 2.3.3? Try to update to 2.3.6, the bettery works much longer on sleep and i think in stress it will be too good.
It could be your rom some how... but how about charge your battery to full, then go to recovery and wipe battery stats. Carry on charging for another 30 mins. Maybe that will fix it.

I'm on ICS Roms these days but on like every rom its a drain. I did go back to 2.3.6 but i like ics so much more i more likely stay on ics.

Charge completely and get a log using BetterBatteryStats. This will tell you, and us, what apps are eating your battery. If you can, take a screenshot of the Battery section in the settings too, with a screenshot of the details of the screen item in there too.
Have you tried changing ROMs? Or maybe it's time for you to get a new battery

Just bought one "original samsung", it;s worser than my old one, heating and low capacity.
FYI - picked this up about 2 months ago, and it's been working just as well as my original battery. The charger is really cheaply made, though!
http://dx.com/p/usb-ac-battery-char...r-samsung-i9020-google-nexus-s-100-240v-57063

What's the best setup for optimal battery life?

I only really use my z1 for Spotify, LINE, reddit and Facebook. Currently the battery life isn't so great as it needs charged during the day..
What's the best rom/firmware etc to flash which will give me the best battery performance?
I've not been on xda for quite some time so I'm a bit out of the loop,I did some looking but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Cheers!

I'm on stock but rooted lollipop, with Stamina mode and Greenify helping each other out. Also I underclock down to 1GHz but I'm not quite sure if it helps.
On all my past devices running the stock firmware almost always makes the most out of your battery.

I am on stock firmware already, I got greenify an the donate version but after testing it yesterday it didn't seem to make much difference.
Perhaps this battery is just dying cheers for the advice though

Sorry for late reply, didn't get notified.
I think that's normal pretty normal battery if you use Spotify+LINE+reddit+Facebook with 2 out of 4 signal o__o
Well the thing is that when you play music on spotify, your phone cannot sleep.
You should try to get a better signal/reception of wi-fi and cellular. I have read that these without good signal could cause battery drain, as you see, cell standby at 9%. Sorry I don't know how to improve those but :/ yeah..
Maybe try "Stamina Mode" if you didn't activate it (It should have a + logo next to the battery when activated)?
Lower your brightness if you can, that's the biggest drain!
At last, for a rom suggestion,I don't have because I'm stuck on stock roms ._. , maybe try some custom roms when you have free time

Yeah it's not too bad I guess, I just use it more than I realise. Already running mxrom, I've found stamina mode doesn't make much difference.

What's keeping my phone awake? (Screenshots)

I finally took the plunge and rooted. I've never had to in the past, but right now I'm trying to figure out what the hell is sucking up my battery.
Here's what I have so far: http://imgur.com/a/ki8bY
Having this scenario, what would you say chews away at my battery?
I think Spotify is at the top of the list because I was actually using it, so I don't think it is an issue. However, when I look at screen on time vs awake time, I see numerous occasions where the phone is awake without me using it.
That graph just shows us surface of the iceberg, use better battery stats
Or GSAM and/or Wakelock detector.
You would be getting a good estimate of what's eating your battery.

Mine is pretty good, stock 4.0.3+ElementalX kernel with default settings
i also have this issue its just android taking lots of battery and not letting the device sleep
I had the same issue, greenify and naptime solved it and i know drain 0.2% an hour overnight on 4. , Android's built in doze is still not good enough imo.

greenify root mode agressive doze eabled, naptime aggressive doze enabled. Not sure really of the benefit of having both as they seem to do the same thing but i saw better results using both, naptime doesn't mess with whatsapp but greenfiy would do so that leads me to believe they work differently.

Follow the instructions for Elemental X kernel tweaking and you should be getting between 6 to 10 hours of SOT time.

Thanks for the video.
However, I sort of agree with the first comment. You have a beast of a phone and you're underclocking it to achieve better battery life? Sounds strange :S
@Lancez What settings are you running on yours? Plain default as it comes out of the box?
I didn't bother with greenify anymore, I just enabled aggressive doze in the oneplus battery settings itself and it works similarly.

I get average like 7 hours of SOT with like 24-26 hours off charge....
maybe like <1% drain overnight

Nothing special, ElementalX kernel with default settings, didn't tweak or change anything in aroma installer. disabled touch boost from CPU tab in EXM app from play store, try it it's worth the little money.
