Hey people,
I have an Galaxy S i9000 wich is about 2-3 years old.
Since a year my battery is draining a little fast, but since a month its sick and frustrating because it last -+3 hours when using whatsapp/music 70% of the time (7 hours with less use).
Thats not nice, and I thought my battery could getting weaker becaue my phone is almost 3 years old*.
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10, 4.1.2
Kernel: Semaphore 2.5, I9000XXJVT
I don't think it's just the rom, Android 4.0 was draining also (but still better battery life in comparisation with 4.1.2...)
Now my question is, do you think purchase a new battery for the I9000 will solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

It seems that the problem is the battery itself, i would try to replace it
Had the same case as you (even same rom and kernel) and i changed the battery... now it's a lot better with almost 24hrs of battery use between one charge to another

It's possible your battery has degraded but you can install the Better Battery Stats app to get a better idea of what is eating so much battery.
Thank you, I will purchase a new battery soon. One more question, are the smartphone batteries (SKU: 59974) from DealExtreme good? I mean, this is from a Chinese wholesale site (made in China) so I'm not sure about good battery performance.

What is common battery life on ICS? The reason I'm asking is because my battery only last for about 24 hours before I need to charge again, and it's no matter what ICS ROM I use. I came from Darkys ROM where my battery lasted for about 2,5 days and it's a bit disappointing with the new ROMs.

semaphore v1 has just been released, how could you have gone four days unless you time traveled.
And how often do you use your phone?

i get on average 36 hours with dark knight 4
Day or two, depends on the usage ;-) AOKP M4, Semaphore 0.9.7
After 14 hours of use I usually still got ~30% battery. After that I charge it again as it's better for LI-ION batterys not to be discharged completely.
I don't get all those discussions about battery life since smart phones are no cell phones. Today there are jacks nearly everywhere, so you can easily recharge the phone. Plus it's very bad for LI-ION to be discharged to 0%.
Specs: SlimICS 3.2 with MNICS LR 143 conservative governor, 1800mAH battery.

It's annoying if you constantly have to think about whether your battery is running out or not or you can't go anywhere for the weekend without your charger.
I usually don't discharge my battery to 0% more like 20-25%, but I just did it a few days ago and did a full charge, which improved my battey life a lot! I guess it has something to do with the phone displaying the proper percent, and a full discharge once in a while probably corrects the battery percent displayed on the phone.
Battery lasts about 2 days on ICS for me: SlimICS 3.2 + Devil2_0.64_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_XL_20120405 (smartassv2)
aokp build 31 + semaphore 1.0 (smartassv2 + sio) lost about 1% in 2 hours of idle..
with very light usage (7 minutes of calls and a hour of 3g) i've got 71% after a day(22 hours) of usage...so i think it is equal to gingerbread roms
NEW ICS 4.0.4 EXTRAordinary_4.0.4_beta with default kernel (Glitch B6)
I am proud to say that the battery is really good. My phone usually was out of juice by 5 pm (games, movies, etc). Now it's about 50%!
May b i sud also switch to ics as my battery drains in 12hours. I use 1hour call, 2hr of web surf n may b hour or 2 in playin games. Ryt nw m using faryaabs v7(galaxy s2 looks)

If the display is off and DIDLE is active, it could be that you come through 3 days or more, but if you only turn it on for checking Mails or something else the battery is sinking so that you can see it.
I'm with 10% at evening with 1500 mah original SAMSUNG battery if I charged it over the last night with normal usage.
ROM etc. in signature.

You should specify your usage. It's almost impossible to say if it's good or bad without the details.
If you could push the battery for 2.5 days(60 hours +/-) ROM/kernel not important, I guess your usage isn't very high.
I have no problem getting 2 days with my low usage on Slim ICS and Semaphore.
But I charge it full every night so I can avoid getting a useless phone the next day.
I can go 18 hours with heavy usage. 4 hours screen, game, surfing, other stuff and a lot of listening to music. I try to dim the screen and use black themes as much as I can.
How soon should you change a battery for the I9000.
I have my phone over a year and a half now and I'm starting to notice a bit of a drop off in the battery performance. I'm lucky enough that I'm almost always near a charger so I can plug it in when it gets low but I have noticed that the battery is starting to get tired.
Just buy a new battery. They only cost 5€ at Amazon.de
I have 3 batteries now after a year and two chargers one that is close to new is samsungs 1 ampere, my first battery original 1500mah wasn't used much. I'm pretty sure battery lasts no more then 6 months and after that they just start on dropping power.
jetpack101 Do You really use 2.3.3 firmware ? if that so pretty please flash 2.3.6 as fast as You can because 2.3.3 was the version that destroyed my Andida battery, it is the worse in battery usage ever, whole 2.3.3 family was!
By the sound of it, I got lucky with my battery
I would definitely agree, you got pretty lucky to only now begin noticing a drop off in capacity.
They're so cheap for our device though, thankfully. I was shocked when I first looked them up.
Only updated to darky 10.4.2
Firmware 2.3.6 last sunday.
Have to say, it's pretty sweet

sure.. lithium batteries degrade after a while... buy an extended battery and never worrie about your battery again.
what if battery status is reported as good health?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I changed mine after 1.5 years (would consider myself a medium user) to the official samsung 1800mA battery, and it was a great change. Depends how much longer you are planning to use your phone (a while for me). I also wouldn't change it if its any earlier than 1 year old
What rom has the best battery life? Looking for a touchwiz based rom.. I had Alliance ICS Rom and battery was pretty good, now I have Ultimate JB rom and my battery life is pretty horrible. Phone died yesterday after a few hrs and being at half charge.

What AA said.
Anyway, battery life has nothing to do with Rom. It depends on
1) kernel
2) apps/syncs you are running
3) modem

Are you talking about TW based JB rom? If yes, then all the TW based leaked roms almost have same battery life AFAIK..you can try the new leak which eybee posted today..OR better option would be to stay on the same rom which you are on now & remove all the bloatware..u can see battery lasting longer than now
I have bought a high capacity Gold Battery 3500 mAh (Ecell - GOLD 3500MAH BUSINESS BATTERY) , and that made the difference. From 1: 30 screen time to 4 hours. It is very cheap and works really good.
So, in my case every JB ROM was very similar at the time of battery life. Looking at the Accessory thread I found good reviews of this battery, so I just ordered in Ebay . and I am very happy now. It is incredible for me to go to bed with almost 50% of battery after a heavy day usage.

Hi,
since a few days, about 10, my N7000 battery life is very short, something like half day or only a little more, it is 1 year old.
I tested 3 different ROMS (full wipe all times) but the result is the same, so I don't think this is due to that, always same modem XLT3.
What can I do to test my battery and to solve?
Is there any app that can tell me the true about my battery?
Can changing radio/modem be a solution? ... I don't think
Get a new battery. One year is pretty much the best you can expect from a Note battery.

Re: Short Battery Life
Change to a better ROM or change your battery. That's the only way
What ROM are you using? You can check it through AnTuTu battery test. And half a day battery life is really very decent for a one year old battery if you're using the phone continuously. You can use apps like greenify to limit background processes and increase battery performance. These are short term solutions as the battery is quite old. So buy a better battery as a long term solution and never overcharge.
faced a similar problem few days back......my note's batttery just gave up.....100 to 10 percent when you use 3g network for 30 minutes. screen flickering....black lines etc.
So had to change my battery...after changing everything is normal. Battery backup is again more than a day
Hello
I wanna ask if a damaged battery can affect performance of my S3 Mini and what's the average time the phone is able to stay charged with a completely new battery. My battery time sucks (i get max 9 hours if I don't do almost anything on my SMARTphone ). So will replacing my battery solve some of the lag on my device and how many hours should I expect from the newly purchased battery with average usage (max 2 hours music, a few phone calls, max 1 hour gaming-small games mainly and sometimes web surfing). Thanks to anyone that replies. Cheers
EDIT : My battery also heats up to 36-39 degrees celsius while just playing Soccer Stars while listening to music from PowerAmp. I think this isn't even close to normal. If a new battery solves all these issues, I'm willing to buy the best one (presumably original by Samsung)!
EDIT 2 : My phone charges from 1% to 50% for about 30 mins
:bump: for help

Maybe you have a super charger joke make sure that your battery isn't swollen. And yes a battery can affect to performance and hardware. If you use very long a damaged battery then it also cause hardware problem. One time this happen to me on my old LG phone. The battery always got more swollen, so i bought a new battery but only 1 month later was the new battery also swollen like the original battery. It was a hardware problem and i still have this phone with a swollen battery
you should use pure stock rom beacuse most of the custom roms have some battery and voltage tweaks which can cause hardware problem if problem persists then replace your battery
Thanks for your help guys. Recently I tried pure stock ROM, but it was the same, plus I kinda love custom ROMs, which have more battery time What would you suggest I buy as a new battery - an original one specifically for my GT-I8190 or the Ace II battery (which is cheaper) is of the same quality as an original S3 Mini battery ? My current one is for the Ace II (it's the second battery I've changed on this phone)!
if the s3 mini battery is not much more then go with that & see if there is much difference

4. Yes it's normal
I have the same problem before. My mini start to auto off then when it's on, the sound of low battery beeping even i just fully charged. The real solution is buy the new battery..
