flash any kernel that supports custom charge values, discharge until 0%, then charge up to 5% and unplug the cable, set the max ac current at 350, leave it charging up to 100% (it will last much longer than a normal charge) and overcharge at least mid hour more, then try to see any difference. Also if you dont need 3G / HSDPA connections disable it and use GSM only, you will get much more battery doing this. Disable entropy seeder apps / services and any other unnecesary service, another advice: Use 1 or 2 max messaging clients, having more than 2 will cause more battery wasted.
If you need your phone charged always fast use the default charger value, but if you need more battery charge it slowly, (350~400)
you know your phone doesnt charge to 100% percent it only simulates this to you, becaus you would be unhappy if it whould show 95% at the end of the charging cicle. so it shows 100% and after a short while it shows the correct values ... maybe 10-15 min. i think this is ordinary behaviour to prevent battery from fast degeneration.
I have same problem in Gingerbread. :crying:

I am not sure, but I think option for that need to be embended in kernel. That you can change it. I do not know if it works, better ask Varun when he is here.
For this who have battery drain problem, download from gp 'Deep Sleep Battery Saver'. This app turn off deep sleep when screen is of, and wake up phone to sync once per hour. Fot me its make much better. Now i have 99% of battery for about 3h!!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ration&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
use this...
well here are a few things that i do to save battery
Firstly use xxlpz baseband instead of xxlq4. Basebands also affect the battery life. (Baseband helps to provide all the network functions).
basebands are inter compatible, so you can use xxlpz baseband over a Rom based on xxlq4
Secondly, I use stock xxlpz odexed firmware. Deodexed rom is used by the modders to theme the framework.
Otherwise an odexed rom is slightly faster than Deodexed rom. Moreover deodexed rom will use the data partition to write it's .dex files which reduces the data partition a little...
I don't use any modded rom. If you see the modded Roms, most of them have superficial changes, not from source. A little change in the framework, a few init.d scripts and some extra apps. You can always change your framework on your own by decompiling the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk.
If you don't know how to then use UOT kitchen. ( I am not opposing anybody. please don't take it personally)
Use a custom kernel. I use cocore 4.4. For me battery is really good using it. I have made an init.d script. If you use cocore 4.4 then put the script in /system/etc/init.d and set permission 0777 and reboot. Also set the governor to ondemandq.
After installing cocore, drain your battery untill it switches off on it's own. Then put your phone in download mode (that is on the screen where it warns us not to flash custom rom) and leave the phone untill it discarges the battery fully.
Now charge you phone till it reaches 100%. overcharge it for half an hour.
After this reboot into recovery and flash Shaaan clockworkmod. Goto advanced setting and eipe battery stats and reboot.
If you are not a hardcore gamer then Switch on powersaver in setting which would limit cpu to 800 mhz, lower the brightness.You will still be able to play, light games like temple run, granny smith, cut the rope etc without any lags.
You can buy anf install ram manager pro for better ram management.
You can also disable a few samsung apps.
Go to settings> manage applications.
Select an app which you don't use and disable it.
I disabled swype, accu weather, chaton yahoo services and few more which run in the background and I dont use. Disabling would freeze the applications, which you can also do with titanium backup.
I use nova launcher which uses less ram and is smooth... Never lock apps in memory.
My settings are minimal, ie I keep vibration and haptic feedback switched off.
I don't use 3g so I keep the network to Gsm only. But I am 24*7 day and night connected to WiFi.
So I use easy battery saver and set it to intelligent mode...
I play a few games mentioned above, lots of WiFi for surfing the web and calls. My screen is always turned on literally. But I manage 1.5 days of battery life.
Well yeah that's it..

Hello, I'm starting this thread to actually discuss general battery usage patterns/ concerns. I figure this might be helpful for some people if not then..... =P
currently im using stock gb battery monitor to roughly monitor my battery usage, there is a mod to make the reading more accurate but i havent applied it yet...
Also... lets put up screen of the best battery life we've managed to get our phones here heee, would be fun to see =P

question is,
1) is it normal for mobile standby and phone idle to be ard 50% ish?
2) is it normal for my phone to stay in awake mode when i turn on the alarm

Nice idea..
I charge my OB every night, and reboot after alarm in the morning. I dunno if it is from alarm or charging but if I don´t reboot the juice is gone in about 8 h. also battery usage app is frozen. I have this issue on every ROM, ( stock 2.3,CM7 from kang to about 60, marvell, zeus test v2.1, nova v8).
If i do the reboot in the morning the phone uses about 50% of the battery during the day (17 h). i use it for a few sms´s and calls, about an hour of websurf (wifi) and some facebook/ Xda usage..

I dunno, if in not mistaken, when you reboot it deletes your old battery stats bin but I'm still trying to understand how resetting a stat could make the battery last longer its what most battery calibration apps claim to do...
For me once a week I manually delete the stats thru cwm and yeah it does make the battery seem more resilient.....
And yeah I got the same again as my photo again, phone stays awake when I turn alarm on.... :/

Deleting batterystats.bin does nothing to callibrate your battery. It just stores info, like a logger. BatteryUsage retrieves the info to display it.

Something is causing a wakelock, what happened to you is not normal. Usually a reboot solves things like that, if it doesnt, then it will either be a rom bug or an app holding the wakelock. Use Better Battery Stats to find whats causing it.
thanks for the app recommendation found that my dialer is causing a portion of my wake lock..... and system too.... hmmmm
ok lets just say my dialer keeping my phone in a wake lock is caused by malware... would a clean install of a rom and manually reinstalling of apps w/o data get rid of the malware?
meanwhile... googling wakelocks =D
Hi, I have some experience with sudden huge battery drains and wakelocks etc. both on stock V20N and Zeus v3.2n. I did not figure out how/why it works but here are some things you can try. I did not have any huge battery drains anymore the last 24h! (on Zeus v3.2n, did not try on V20N stock)
- I have an IMAP email account installed with K9 mail and an ordinary hotmail account with the hotmail app. Both accounts are set on push and in this configuration the hotmail app causes my wifi to never go to sleep, causing increased battery drain. Removing the hotmail app solves the problem.
- automatic update of time and date settings can cause wakelock. Unchecking Settings > Date & time settings > Automatic might solve your problem. I read this somewhere on XDA.
- Use wireless networks to determine location might cause wakelocks as well. Unchecking Settings > Location & Security > Use wireless networks might solve your problem. Read this somewhere on XDA again.
As I said, I did all of this and my wakelock problem is gone for at least 24h! Now I already have 60h on one battery and still 43% left... I cannot remember the threads where I read about this but if needed I can search... Also I did not try yet whether any single thing actually caused my problem. I just killed all of it as I do not miss it I am happy. Keep me updated if you found out which one worked for you
Tip: the BetterBatteryStats app is written by somebody on the XDA forum, you can download the apk for free from some thread in XDA (search is your friend)
I think a day and a half is a good battery lifetime for the OB, if there is no app or something that drains the battery in a hard way.
I can manage to get this with the marvel rom, and my personal user-settings. Also i think every smartphone u can actually get needs to be charged around every 24 hours.
I also want to share my experience. I use the cm7 2.3 gb rom and the battery response is very bad. Battery completely dead in 18 hours. Then i switched to v20n german gb rom. It gives me better battery timing about 28 -30 hours on normal use. The i change the settings of account syncronization of gmail, hotmail, facebook etc to manual. Then there is a big difference in battery drainage. Now my battery consumed in 48 hours on normal use.

On android phones, if yours phone gives u 24 hours backup then it has good battery timing. Further you can increase the timing through the steps and trick mentioned by different peoples in this thread

Battery should last at least 18 hours on normal usage with 3G and sync with gmail , contacts and calendar. Sometimes you just turn off so many things to just make it home with some battery in it....
battery is mainly kernel related...
we need good kernels that all..
Thank you for the wakelock tips.
It seems that V20o is way better than all the other ROMS concerning battery, without any tweak. Maybe it can be further optimizet with tweaks.
A short comment: it is true that theoretically battery is kernel related issue, but in a real world high battery drain is usually caused by bad apps and other non-kernel related things.
using zeus v5.03 lite.
battery drains so much when the screen off. nearly 1 percent in every 2 minutes.
but it is ok when the screen off
Ok wasn't an sod but a random reboot, and it reset my apn settings twice when that happened

Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
Camera calibration doesn't work as in it doesn't do anything to improve your battery life.
The only way to improve battery life is to use apps that don't sync constantly, use a ROM that doesn't drain your battery and don't use Facebook or similar as they run in the background constantly and try to update which of course "eats" your battery (or at least disable their update feature).
Bt in respct of bttry wich is bettr..zeus or marvel??
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
I never used Marvell so i can't say which is better (in battery life).
I do know that for me, with normal use (and most updates for apps disabled or set th update less often, for example every 3-4 hours instead of 15-30 minutes), with Zeus 6.22 and normal usage i get about 1.5-2 days of use with one charge.
I tried Cyanogen 7 and with that i never managed to get 1 day or more of use, only about 18-20 hours from 1 charge, didn't play with Cyanogen 9 (ICS) since it's not stable yet.
You could of course try them out yourself and see which you like more.
For example install one of them, then make a backup (from the Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery), after that try the other and if you don't like it all you have to do is do a restore from CWM and you're back to the previous version.
You should try to use the ROMs for at least 3-4 days (preferably a week) before deciding if you like it or not, of course, if it keeps crashing then you're probably better of trying another ROM
P.S. don't forget to clear cache/dalvik cache and preferably clear data (factory reset) when installing different ROMs, or you'll have all kind of nasty surprises (crashes, battery draining faster than normal, Force Closes (FC), ...)

This is the app that everyone should use after flashing new rom. I always use it and helps in improving battery life. I always use rooted ziplined stock rom and just freeze unwanted apps using titanium backup app this way i get good battery life and most stable rom for OB.

All the "Battery Calibration" app does is remove the batterystats.bin file which contains the information shown in Settings->About phone->Battery use.
The batterystats.bin file has NO AFFECT in the actual life of the battery, it's just information shown and nothing more.
More info HERE and HERE
I'm thinking that if a GOOGLE ENGINEER who worked on the Android development team says that deleting that file doesn't improve battery life then he/she might be right (after all, he/she knows more about the device than me )
But of course, the PLACEBO effect works for some, so if you feel better installing hundreds of programs that claim to improve your battery, well, be my guest, just know that many actually use more battery than they "save"

now im trying flashing another kernel.. (semaphore) and after few hours i will be coming back to devil kernel.
The problem might be with the rom? (ho and I have never done any factory reset/delete partition when I switch kernel or upgraded to another AOKP version)

Sounds like a rogue app is causing battery drain......instal better battery stats from the market and see what is causing the problem ....they have support website as well
Also try a clean flash, that would seem to be at the root of your problem, probably corrupt data or app data

After 2 months of normal behaviour on SlimICS+Semaphore kernel, my phone got the same problem today.
I have a feeling that "Google Backup Transport" is the main culprit. I have tons of such processes in "OS Monitor", that weren't there before.
Better Battery Stats shows nothing, I only have high battery usage for "Android OS" (29% - CPU: 9min, Awake: 2h 10min) of 9h total time.
And I have "Backup & reset" disabled in "Settings".
This option was causing battery drains on few of my friends phones, so I always suggest to disable this option!
I hope phone reboot will fix the issue automatically if not I will have to reflash my phone again!
PS: Google Play and Skype could also be few of the usual suspects.
My phone is having a really bad battery life.It can't last a whole day and it discharges extremely fast.I looked at "Battery" in settings and nothing looks suspicious.Even in standby mode it discharges like crazy ( overnight i lose about 30% of battery ).Phone is completely new.I don't want to disable live wallpaper, wifi, mobile data, sync etc. because i bought a smartphone for those features.Any other suggestions are welcome.

That's normal for the stock ROM, flash my V3 ROM you'll have 2 or 3% drainage over night.

So strange,there are no significantly changes in DMod, compared to the base BenzROM! Essentially frameworks and apps are the same

Yes but you're forgetting about build.prop tweaks, they play a big role when it comes to battery drainage.
I just installed Benz rom, so i am hoping for better battery life.But there is also one more thing i noticed.I installed no frills cpu and i noticed that minimum frequency is 1 ghz !!! I set it to 200 mhz and i think that will make a huge impact on battery.I will be posting my battery stats picture soon.
So many advises about installing other rom. I think you need to try to remove huge battery drainers first. Try to disable Picasa web-albums sync (this **** eats alot! ) and some other sync that you don't need. You need to change it for each Google account you use on your phone. That's all. This small change halped me alot with battery drain and, I hope, will help you.
Also, you can freeze apps that you don't need to. It can be made without root.

In screenshot you have a very weak gsm signal in your area. This drains your battery.
If you don't use 3G/HSPA mobile data, you can try to manual switch to 2G network (2G band use less power from your battery).
HTH,
Ok, so installing a new rom and messing with CPU frequencies did help after all.I installed Benz rom and changed minimum cpu frequency from 1 ghz to 200 mhz.Battery now lasts 2-3 days with light use and about 1.5-2 with medium use.Battery discharge overnight is about 10% with sync, wifi etc. turned on.
hmm,i dont know what apps you have installed on your phone,but when i installed Dropbox app few days ago, there was a massive battery drainage overnight...it eat my battery between 30-35% overnight...and it used to be only 3-5%...
of course i uninstalled the app and now its back to normal,only 3-5% drainage overnight(wifi and sync off)...
Check my "Obligatory Extended Battery Thread."

Hello guys, sorry for my bad english, but I'm not American. Well, my question is:
I bought from a guy a Galaxy S I900b, Brazilian model with digital TV. Came with stock 2.3. As I had already read enough before, upgraded to JWB Saurom with semaphore kernel, which I think is the default for this rom. Well, the phone had very poor battery life, evn on idle. Then upgraded to 10.2 CM. I saw that had some wakelocks, and with BBS and the help here, I used the Scan Media Root and my problems are gone in iddle. So, my phone goes into deep sleep and today during my sleep, only lost 3% battery, 3% battery drain on idle during about 5-6 hours it very good to me. But during use, it ends up very fast, and with GSAM and standard monitor of the android, I saw that after the screen, the Android system was what had higher %% battery. So what could it be ? The battery life is ok, checked on info, and its condition is 'good'. I use to Greenify, and close almost every game\app, so running is just grenify and ram manager pro.
So the prob just could be a app or the 'android system' ? Or even hardware ?
I dont have much time now, so any info or screenshot you want, I can provide later
Thanks
What about your connections? Do you have 3G/wifi enabled at all times?
calibrate....maybe useless, but u can try....but somehow, try bigger mAh battery, maybe.....n maybe .... it will help.
juz charge it with screen turn on till it full, n waste it to 0% till it shut down, turn it on n charge it with screen on till it full again, u ll be fine
if problem occur again, keep an eye for sneaky app that run at background (email...exchange etc) n juz delete some sys app that u dont use using titanium.
if it still occur again, wait for arc reactor battery....

So buddy I've disabled 3G, just 2G, I barely make a call, just wifi. But dont matter what, if is just passing by the menus or using opera mini, using it drain battery a lot,

I've deleted the batterystats.bin and used until 0%, so charged while off, but nothing :C
It's true that the battery needs to 'learn' ? Like, a few charges and discharges and could estabilize ?
I'll take a few screenshots right now
Callibration of you battery eg: Wipe battery stats is onluy helpfull when you get weird battery stats.
If you are on any CyanogenMod ROM you have to get used to the higher ammount of battery use by the phone. The application Greenify can help a lot by hibernating the huge battery suckers like facebook and google maps.
Some tips:
- use 2G instead of 3G
- Turn WIFI off when you're outside the house or leaving for some time
- Turn GPS/Bluetooth on only when you're about to use it
- Dont use taskkillers (they are used to free up ram but killing apps makes android restarts them and this consumes extra juice)
- Put brightness on Auto
- Use a dark theme and background/lockscreenwallpaper
- Dont recharge your phone when below 5% this can damage the battery
- A new battery needs to "Get used to" the life of being a battery xD After a few recharging cycles it will work like normal
Here some screenshots, if need more, just ask
Note: Was with 14%batt, rebooted and drops to 11-10%

i am using greenify on almost everything.
used to use ram manager, but now i've disable it.
brightness is on low
I really dunno what 2 do ... almost 1 week with it and this insane drain, everyone says that plays or browser on wifi and get almost 10 hours... my dream this happen to me lol
Remember that this is just on use, on idle it use virtually nothing, like I said, almost 3% on sleep, but is just I start use with app or browser and its gone
Screens are from a too short period of useage. Use it from fully charged, and make some new screenies This can help futher
Well i got problems with my battery too so im planning to buy a new one because this one cant even handle 3-4 hours when im doing something like playing games,or listening music...Just buy new battery with more mAh and dont get bother with this :laugh:

but in aps, show good battery state :/
think that I cant trust in it ... and will have to buy a new one
if calibrate doesnt work, hardware faulty, change ur battery mate.

About 2 hours later that I fully charged, here are some ss
Just used whatsapp and opera in this time
I was thinking in change my kernel, currently I'm using semaphore 3.0 with CM10.2, is Latrop or Mackay better in battery life ?
I think its my last shot ... I'll provide a new battery next week, but i've heard some people with batt probs that even with new batt the problem persists :crying:

It looks like wifi and 3G have been kept on for most/all of the time. Turning those off while you're not using them may significantly increase battery life.
Also, related to kernels, personally I've found Mackay to be a bit better in terms of battery.
Also it looks like your screen's pretty bright if 61% of the battery usage is because of it. So if you don't need it so bright turning the brightness down may help.
Start by doing those, and see how your battery life fares first- if not much changes, then it may help getting a bettery battery/changing rom even.

So, like i said, in this 2 hours after charge, i've used opera mini with wifi, I dont use 3g. Right now the battery is less than 10%... it's strange since have people telling that can use almost 5 hours wifi and the battery is > 50%
And the brightness is at lowest bright :\
The problem could be some corrupted file ? I have the options:
- format EVERYTHING, and dont use titanium backup, since somthing can be corrupted.
- change my kernel to Mackay
- change my room back to SAUROM 2.3.6 adn semaphore kernel
I'm very sad cuz I have a very old Nokia E5 that can be on with wifi almost or more than 10hours ... and this phone can barely hold 5hour
What u suggest me to do ?

How long have you been using the rom? Roms take time to calibrate the battery and this is through charge/discharge cycles.
Alternatively, go into Performance settings and change the profile to powersave/conservative (it differs from rom to rom). Lock the min CPU frequency to 200mHz- apparently this helps.
Again, this would change depending on your kernel.
And if you have a three year old battery like mine, best not to expect miracles...

Using bout 2 days ... but i didnt knew about ' calibrate '. Good to know that
Now i've formated everything and will put a stock 2.3 and see in a couple of days the perfomance ... if gets better, I put the saurom 2.3.6 and be with it, cuz 2.3.6 on brazilian model allow to use digital tv, and 2.3 everyone says is economic.
I'll get this updated if my situation changes, if not, will buy a new battery
Thanks for all your help
Note: How long your batt last ? With high\low usage
