Severe Battery loss

Sorry for another thread on battery life but u need help. I am loosing severe battery while idle. Just lastnight I lost 60%. I have a I897 using cognition3.04 with firebird kernel.
I have wifi,Bluetooth,GPS off. Using juice defender, and no task killers. And have callibrated my battery, and do not see any roug apps. Battery usage said cell standby and phone idle were using most of the battery.
Im at a loss. Thanks for your time.

Check out my thread below you
I had alot of questions answered in it, take a look.

Everyone has been helpful on this forum, thanks again to all!
Also, the STICKY thread at top of this forum is VERY USEFUL!

Thanks i saw your thread already. I flashed back the stock cog3.04 kernel and modem and did a battery recalibrate. After fully charging and wiping stats last night i lost about 8% (~1% an hour) conpared to the 60% before, so im happy. Im at 45% after using it all of today, Ill see how the meter works after the full drain after stats wipe.
Im pretty sure most of that came from the kernel change, does anyone know any other good kernels.

Same thing happened to me with cognition even after battery calibration, just switched over to Phoenix ROM and its fixed.

Some ROMs use more, some use less. It also depends on kernel, not just ROM.
I have the ROM in my signature below. When on glitterballs kernel, i had 1% drain per hour. On xcalibur's kernel, I have 1% per ~2 hours. Try changing kernel n see if that helps.

Your Android OS is draining your battery waaay too much. Does MIUI still have the Android OS bug? Reboot into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache, and continue monitoring the Android OS. It should be less than 10%.

Hi.
Thanks for the advice.
I did what u said. battery usage android os 31% and sys 29% but when i change for unplugged usage it shows sys 18% OS 9%. The previous is the total usage. Do u think its fine?

Hi, I'm using MIUI Mint Berry Edition 1.10.28 and the battery is very good, perhaps you should give it a try. Another trick is to delete google talk if you don't use it

???
you think google talk drein battery?realy?

I believe the default options in Google Talk is to have it login automatically. I never used it before, but when I first got an i9000 I remember going through apps I didn't use, and noticed that Google Talk—even though I never, ever used it—was signing it and staying signed in the entire time I had my phone. I quickly got rid of it (although you could probably just turn off the automitic login).

hi guys!
THX for the ideas but I got one yesterday from another forum. I just wiped in recovery mode the darwick memory or what and now its perfect. I charged the battery fully yesterday at 17:55. Was playing and using wifi ,still have around 20%.

wipe dalvik , wipe cash , format
then put miui on your sdcard and flash it
after that , clear dalvik cash and wipe cash partition again
calibrate your battery using battery calibration app ,
reboot.
the problem should be solved , but i must tell you , miui is battery HUNGRY and u will NOT get more than 3-4 hours screen time

You could try Juicedefender. That should buy you some time!

I find apps like this normally do the opposite, Just another service eating up CPU power. Also don't judge a ROM's battery from the 1st charge. Calibrate and the battery tends to settle.. Though IMO Cm7 ftw, 2 days usage from it

I sort of agree, but it depends on how much battery the app is saving you. Sure, it takes some CPU usage to be able to work, but if it's saving you 5x as much battery by doing so, then it's obviously beneficial. Lots of people swear by Juice Defender, so it must work as such.

Hello ppls. I've seen a lot of posts about high battery drain. I am wondering about my battery life.
So, i unplugged my SGS at 10am,said 100% when i unplugged it dropped to 96% (i read its normal, the protection against overcharge), left at 10.30 listened to 1h of music,15m of just twiking,writing 1 sms,at 13:30 already 59%
Faze II: 15m on facebook via wifi,wrote 5 sms,played 10 mins- 39%
III 1h music +10m gaming+ 15m twiking, at 8pm 20%.
IV about 5m of audio recording, and probabably about 10m of gaming->10% at 12:30 am next day.
No 3g, wifi only when using internet apps, using juice defender ultimate.
I'm using Darky's rom 10.1 . I bought the phone with this rom, and i can't flash a new one cause i can't connect it to my pc in anyway(same on other pc's too)
To the battery : Is this normal? Thx

Battery drops!

Well, this is weird, I bought recently a i9000b guys, my old Galaxy Ace rusts in peace now... well, flashed it (took some long hours) and now i'm using CyanogenMod 10, but here's the probelm
It has been charging the entire night, then this morning I took it and went to take a breakfast, I've been chatting and stuff but it got laggy, so I decided to restart it (apparently with 72% of battery aprox), when i checked it again after the restart I saw 4% of battery. What? Is that possible? I must say that I haven't calibrated the battery, I tried to check if charging it with the phone off and had a very low battery level. What could it be? Battery Calibration? Rom? Kernel?
ROM: [ROM][LINARO][JDQ39E][22/05] **C-RoM Mix v22 *&* C-RoM v3** [ Stable & Fast... ] [
Kernel: Semaphore 2.9.0 (for i9000b)
Thanks
PS: I turned on again the phone and there was a 80%~ of battery

Do one thing might solve:
Switch off your phone
Rwmove battery
Press power button for 15-30 sec
Insert battery back and reboot
Let me know if it solves your issue

Done, let's see if doesn't happen again. Anyway, should I wipe the battery stats? I haven't yet...
I will be doing tests because it happened to me yesterday, I got a random shutdown and the battery was empty, so I'll be looking for that.
Any another solution is welcome, thanks anyway :good:

Happened again after 3h 25min of usage, battery fell from 46% to 0%
Can't it be the kernel?
(CM10.1)

Battery drain problems are usually kernel related, yeah. When I tried CM10.1 I noticed a hell of a lot of battery drain as well (then again, 3 year old 1500mAh battery, 3 year old SGS, can't expect miracles).
Try using any of the 4.2 kernels in the forums (Semaphore, Mackay, Devil, CyanCore). I've tried most of them (usually Semaphore) and they're all pretty good for getting that extra bit out.
Aonther option would be to switch rom. Some devs have made roms with pretty good battery life considering the extra ram consumption on JB.

Thanks, i'm on it, will change my rom to Mackay rom and kernel, sadly this kernels aren't usually updated, because I have a i9000b and there are not much kernels for this model. I'm going to install a Mackay kernel compiled for i9000b

Battery

Not sure if its me but since installing the 4.2.2 update the battery appears not to last as long....maybe it will need time to settle down ? Anyone else noticed poorer battery stats.

Did you guys have factor format after 4.2.2 updated?

I can see battery improvement over 4.1.2. It's not extreme, but I can possibly squeeze out another hour from my usage.
Granted, I didn't change the CID/MID to force the OTA. I did a backup of the sdcard to the computer, and flashed a stock rooted 4.2.2 rom with a kernel.

yup..

Battery life sucks for me after the update. When I get home after work, the phone is almost dead. I reset the phone using buttons, using the reset menu, etc. a few times to no luck.
Unable to trace the biggest drainer with GSam Battery Monitor or WakeLock Detector either.
Damn.

what is factor format? , I did a reset/wipe before and after the 4.2.2 update, battery life seems about the same.
EDIT : do you mean factory format?

It has increased my battery life significantly.
I now have 1-2% lost in standby over night, the juice is drained less in standby and when screen on. Not by much, but significantly.

Battery Life stinks and phone gets hot

My battery life is pretty terrible. Running stock, power saver, and Snapdragon battery guru. I have to charge the phone 2-3 times a day. I use in moderately to light through the day. At night, it will drain almost completely while I'm asleep. I had a Nexus 4 before and battery life was way better than this, same location, same apps, etc. I don't feel like I should need to turn data and wi-fi off to get more than 6 hours of virtually idle phone life from this device. Is this typical?
I find the phone is hot a lot too, when I am not even using it.

Please try to find out what causes this drain with the following app and post results after 1 unloading cycle

I downloaded it. Shut phone off and letting it charge, then going to see how fast it drains. To boot, its been on the charger for 2 hours and it has gone from 9% to 62%. Something must be wrong.

With stock my phone battery life sucked as well.that's why I rooted it and running a sense 5 Rom.. and it's so smooth I have my kernel UC to less than one gig speed and it still move fast without the overheat

Definitely not typical...
I'm fully stock and not rooted. If I dont touch my phone it can last over 24 hours with data on (noticed this one weekend when I was too busy to play with the phone).
I use the Battery Widget Reborn app and it says a "Fully charged battery usually lasts: 18 hours 8 minutes" for me.
Sounds like theres definitely some kind of app in the background thats draining your battery and making your phone hot.

This is pretty typical battery life for me with data always switched on on a rooted stock 4.2.2 rom and was also pretty much identical on an unrooted stock 4.1.2 rom.
The main thing that saves me a ton of battery life is disabling apps that I don't use. By far and away the Facebook app is a massive culprit for killing battery life.
I'm very interested to see the gsam results when you post them.

I did this procedure that HTC instructed me to do to reset the battery/charging system. I think it may have worked. No excessive heat and a drastic improvement in battery life. I've attached a screen shot of the gsam though. Just curious what you thought of the results

You are getting decent battery life. What most here would call bad. That looks like my phone, though. So, you're average.

Well it's a definite improvement over the sort of battery life you were describing before. There are always ways of improving battery life but as has been said many times before it's all a case of where and how you use your phone that will be the main factor.
