Battery Draining, nothing works

Ok, i did every single tutorial how to enchant my phone battery life...but no help..
After i installed Darkys 9.0.2 ROM with Voodoo kernel my battery is practically dead... it goes 8% in 1 hour and i can max use my phone for 10 hours, with turned off wifi, 3g, auto rotation, bluetooth, gps etc.
Will battery be better if i flash stock 2.1, 2.2 or 2.2.1 on my phone? Because i cant live anymore with this draining.... :/
EIDT: And tihis morning my battery was on 19%, but 7 hours before it was 72%, with turned on wifi and auto rotation....

Try to flash the JPA wifi fix, but i dont know if it will help u so much.
or try to flash drifrent modems and see if it will help u in battery life.
I prefer Doc's Rom, and the battery life is very good =)
Good luck

Try to flash a stock/official ROM and dont install any other extra's yet and no 3G data try to see if you still see that kind if battery drain compared to having custom ROM's usually these battery issues are user caused.

I cooked my own rom (Docs Kitchen)
ROM: XWJS3 v9.1.4
CSC: JP9
Kernel: Speedmod
Modem: JPX
And in this 20 minutes its all going ok, ill be using this for one day, recalibrate the battery and if this rom does not work i will flash stock rom

Try ZSPJE Modem, i have very good battery life with this modem.
I have the wifi on over the night, 7-8h I lose 2-4%.

Use Power Tutor to track what is causing the drain. Note: Power Tutor uses the battery up quite a bit so don't use it after you determine the problem(s). One of the biggest battery drains is running the screen brightness on max. It is a good idea keep below 80% brightness. It displays in mW (miliWatts). Your battery is 5.55 W so if you are averaging 555 mW that is 10 hours of battery life or 10% per hour.
Good Luck!

Its a known problem with that ROM
You should read battery FAQS drain battery delete battery stats .
Drain battery Bump charge battery Turn of all apps wifi GPS mobile data . Wifi searching then check drain over twelve hours .

Ok... Average is 786mW
The screen uses the most... :/ i think thats alot
EDIT: i changed screen brightness and now is average use smaller

i have the same problem as You. No rom and no modificiation can help my battery drain... My battery life circle about 10 hours, with no wifi, no hsdpa only 3g, no gps, minimum light... i will try instal power tutor and see what's going on.
EDIT: ok, its seems the same.. average power: 580mW, where the AMOLED takes about 500mW, light on minimum..

sorry for my english..

Have you all done the battery calibration from 100% to 0%?
Tried looking at battery history from spare parts to see what is causing the drain?

[onecosmics' ics rc2.1] super duper mega extremly bad battery life .

First of all , I really like the work onecosmic has been doing , keep up the good work !
I am currently using the RC2.1 build combined with fugo kernel . so far epic . I'd really want to use this rom on daily basis but the problem is that i get horrible battery life. at first I reflashed everything (including all wipe needed in the order specified) but that didn't help . I am currently on my 4th or 5h cycle of calibration but it gets worse every time .
here is a screen shot from the 2nd cycle (started fully charged ):

i lost 75% in 5hrs of normal+- use . :\
here is one from now (started fully charged )
40% in one hour . i played a couple of games for 20 minutes and thats it . it dropped me to 79% and than i stopped using my phone . the battery dropped alone to about 60% short time after that .
What can i do to improved it ? I tried to avoid widgets , reflashing and wiping , other kernels that seem to mess up my rom and get the home button not to work (nushors) ...
I thank you all in advance for your , I hope you could help me solve my problem

Check in battery settings what is using your battery so much.. if anything other than Android OS (could be till 30-40%) is consuming your battery.. take action regarding that..
if this doesn't work, then clear your battery stats through recovery and calibrate for another 3-4 full charge/discharge cycles.. should solve your problem

Tried everything . battery still sucks

I think it's the HSPA/WCDMA network type. I use GSM only and I get 1day +.

You forgot to post most importat thing, how long display was on. From screens I can see it was on alot.
If it had 3-4 hours, it's probably okay since you had data enabled aswell.

try buid 13 teamhacksung.
I'm on it! And it's better than CM7.

What means better than CM7? Can you give an example: e.g. 2 days with normal usage.

I don't have good battery life too. We just need to wait for devs to improve it...

music player not working
video player not showing all videos
can't add or remove homescreens
m on glitch kernell

Okay, means we still have to wait.

Ok, did you intall the rom with the battery full charged? This may be the problem

@chriss23: how is your battery expierence with build 13?

i am on the second battery cycle with onecosmics mod. normal use of the phone and 63% left after 32hours. its ok but when i use some apps the battery drains one percent on only a few minutes. iam unsure if this is normal. usage of android os in battery stats says 26%.. in gingerbread, this was too much but would you say its normal on ics?
thank

Hello all. I had also battery issues with the new roms of ICS. I exclude usage of data which one way or another makes things worse. I believe that issues will be fixed soon since the difference between the first versions of roms and the newest ones is significant. Freezing also some unneeded background processes always help (i use titanium for this). Playing among different kernels and undervoltaging can also help.

[Q] Battery Issue after ICS update

Hi
After updating to ICS from GB, my Samsung Galaxy note's battery drains rapidly and I am not able to use the phone for full day(full charge in the morning and get discharge by evening)! I had taken the update from "Settings->About Phone->New Updates".
Do you face the similar issue?
What is the solution?
Can I revert back to GB?

Give it some time to settle down. If not, change to a custom ROM which should give you better battery life with undervolting, etc.

First thing i would suggest...
Is to search the forum, or even just browse the topics already posted.....

Try this thread for more info. It's not too long like the other ones on ICS battery drain. Basically, CPUspy to check if you have lack of deepsleep problem and BetterBatteryStats to pin point the rogue app (if it is, or some say kernal issue).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698807&page=2
CPUspy from the market and BBS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

try this
1. change to airplane mode
2. switch off
3. pullout battery for 5mins
4. put battery back in
5. switch on
6. change to normal mode
check the battery performance afterwards...
might work might not, but worth a try init?

I read a post where in a user did a factory reset and then formatted usb storage
Then Calibrating the battery by draining off the battery to 0% and then charging to 100% while the Phone is switched off
I did that and found out that my Note goes to Deep Sleep the moment i turn my screen off
Lets see if the l2_hsic popup again!!!
Will monitor my Note for a while and post if this is succesful
will post it till then, happy battery Life
Note :: I have installed
1) Juice Defender Plus to manage my battery usage
2) Better Batter Stats - To check which process is waking up my Note
3) CPU Spy - To check on the CPU Usage (for Eg Deep sleep mode, 200mhz, 1400mhz)

ICS update Battery Issues

Alright so like many other people on this and other forums, I updated to ics 4.0.3 two days ago and been experiencing battery issues since. But my battery issue is a bit different from what I've read about. My note has no problem going into deep sleep, when i go sleep and wake up deep sleep is at 98-99% and my battery drains about 1%. But when I turn on my phone and start using it no matter what I do, the battery drains about 1% every 3-5 minutes.
Phone settings:
- I always have my brightness at 0 and have screen filter on to make it even less bright(even though battery drains about the same with or without this on) (batter settings still show that screen is taking up most of the battery)
- With wifi on or off battery drains just as fast.
- I havnt started my new data plan yet so im always on airplane mode( battery drains the same with this on or off)
- My note was never rooted
- I basicly have no widgets on anymore because i deleted most of them but doesnt help battery life.
- With power savings on or off battery still drains the same amount
- The only apps i have installed after ics are ones from googe play(netflix, chrome, and other simple apps)/ i deleted my emulators and other apps that iv'e downloaded and installed
Can anyone please help me with this issue

You are on Stock ICS ? Go to Settings>Battery And Post the Screenshot Here. It will help us to determine the exact situation..

Sorry I'm new im guessing stock ics means official release from kies, then yes. I dont know how useful these battery ss will be because a lot of the time im either idle or charging.

Did you perform a hard reset on your device after the update?
if not, then see if you can try it and get back again with your screenshots.. don't forget to do some re-calibration also on your battery. This works on my end before. Not sure if it works on yours, but hey.. there's no harm in trying right? just give it a shot bud...
Cheers!

Turn off the sync. Kill Background applications and See if it works for you...
Also download Battery Calibration from play store... Open it when its fully charged and start calibration... Let your phone battery fully drained and then charge it again to full without pauses...

I have sync accounts off and i only have my gmail account in the options to turn it on unless you mean something else.
I'm not really sure how to kill background applications is it the cashed applications? because ive tried killing running + cashed.
I just installed battery calibration and it says i must root my phone 1st =/

Wtf are you trying to brick op's phone? You should get a warning..
Op never ever ever ever ever ever do a factory reset from ANY ics stock kernel.. It will get your phone bricked.. Or maybe but just maybe not? Anyways will you take the chance?
I was on 4.0.3 stock and yeah the battery it's horrible.. Don't know why the phone barely goes deep sleep.. Check this with cpu spy free app from market
Since the phone upgraded itself to 4.0.4 I have been able to run 14 hours with 5 hours screen and the phone its always on deep sleep
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

yea i knew theres a huge risk involved =/ , is there anyway i can update to 4.0.4 because it's not showing up on kies

Yeah following the several guides around.. They all lead you to download 4.0.4 and a gingerbread rom from Sammobile, downgrading your phone to gingerbread by flashing it via odin and then flashing ics 4.0.4 via odin also .. So go ahead and read some..

Check Android Development Section...

cpuspy and betterbatterystats to check partial wakelocks and whats keeping phone awake. A gazilion threads on that. read them. You need these as Samsungs analytical view state nothing usefull, they need to fire the designer of that.
Next to this I see lot of screen on time, how much time roughly is that in total, you are actually using device?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

my phone doesn't have the deep sleep problem people have. my on screen time is about 6 hours before it drains completely and by on screen time it could be on the home screen with no wifi/net and no apps running with just the screen on, and the battery would still go down 1% every 3-5 min

So ics 4.0.4 came out for the UK version of note so i updated via kies. This didnt fix battery life at all, in addition iit came with another bug where my phone gets hot and drains battery when turn off the screen after playing any media file....So my question now is can i root 4.0.4 if i have the Emmc bug?

[Q] Battery Analysis

Hello, can someone give me a hand with the analysis of my battery consumption?
I used to get 3-4-5 hours of Sceen On time. Now I can barely get 2 hours!

With this last image I have no idea why it shows this. I've never been without internet, and I always have 3G coverage except in a few instances when I'm on the train going through a small tunnel or something (it drops to GPRS for about 30 or 40 seconds).
Thanks guys... I'm so confused...

cool picks, got cpuspy pics of same timeframe?
I like to cross reference and check if numbers add up.
Did you switch roms/ kernel lately, or update?
Battery getting full charge? mv?
Now the partial wakelocks are interesting. Try switching off fast dormancy by dialling *#9900# and selecting option that should/could take care of svnet.
Audioout probably by turning off options in settings then sound then all bottom choices.
the rest I am not sure, google partial wakelock and the service name.
Other then that, if nothing has changed except battery lifetime. Try safe kernel, then completely go to zero situation where you were getting the better battery life, then eliminate other apps perhaps.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm on full stock 2.3.6. I don't really like the ics builds. No other apps to measure.
The kernel is always the highest usage on my phone. What can cause that?
I'll still CPU spy and run it tomorrow and republish here. Thanks for your reply.

Hello zkyevolved, which version of BetterBatteryStats are you using?
I ask this because on my device, under Other and Since unplugged options, there is no Deep Sleep entry directly below Wifi Running. The entry shown directly below Wifi Running is Awake.

Hello! Thanks for the reply. I checked my version and it's 1.9.0.0. It was just updated the other day if I recall correctly.
I will update again today after a full days use in the battery. I'll post again with screenshots from both applications.
For the moment I've only disabled fast dormancy.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

awesome. You know analyzing is pretty difficult on android lol. sometimes I get frustrated and just reset to starting conditions and reinstall everything. Which is safe on gb, not ics due to superbrickbug triggers in ICS kernel.
Analyze first though Am interested in results.
If battery life is important and you dont mind warrantee, I can recommend the k2-11 or k2-12 speedmod kernel on gb roms. It was best batterylife for me 4-5 hours full screen on time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

a quick recheck, in current pictures you have 11 hours of measurement time with only 5 in deep sleep and 2 hours onscreen time?
That means 3 hours phone is awake. So it does seem classic deepsleep issue. I am no pro btw, but thats what I suggest monitoring for now.
When phone doesnt deepsleep cpu cycless on 200mhz doing nothing, that consumes energy, we are looking to minimize that.
Some of the stuff I mentioned earlier, partial wakelocks is whats actually keeping phone awake. I hope the fast dormancy off takes care of some keep awake time.
Now when measuring dont check phone every five, ten, twenty minutes, sometimes it takes about 15 min to go to deepsleep, thusvyour manually keeping it awake. Been there done that.

Hey everyone! Here are some updated screen shots:
This was my activity today: I did listen to some music, I mostly answered messages. Browsed very little. I skyped over HSPA for about 5 minutes. I went for a quick jog with endomondo using the GPS and music in the background via bluetooth for a total of 30 minutes. I used wifi for most of the day. As you can see, for a 2/3 of the day it was in deep sleep, while the rest was a mix of other speeds. I imagine 200-500 was the light usage (endomondo with screen off, bluetooth headphones, skyping OTA, etc.) and when the screen was mostly on and browsing, taking screen shots (I took a lot today, to annotate the screens I was looking at), etc.
Thanks everyone for your continued help.
Ohh, and the SVNET service is still there, I turned it off yesterday, and then today at around 5 o'clock I saw that I had about the same battery left as other days, so I turned it back on again.

ok then its something else keeping svnet up. Dunno about that.
For the rest its best for comparison of stats to measure same timespan, so reset stats when you unplug phone.
Anyway it is deepsleep issue, your phone is not appearing to go to deepsleep ideally.
Cause I cant make out the numbers from what I see, and what it is keeping awake, I recommend starting new. So save messages with an app from play, apps with titanium backup, and efs folder if you never saved, check my thread on that. Contacts and calander in gmail. Photos manually Backup on external sd card and remove after.
On GB do a factory reset with code in dialer ending in 3855, that completely resets device. That should do the trick. I think from settings storage format sd card, not sure if factory reset does that.
If you dont care for warrantee then perhaps speedmod k2-12 kernel is a good alternative to stock gb kernel in terms of battery life
That should fix it. Just dont restore apps with data, let it repopulate itself, that way if something is messed up there you can catch it.
If I am missing something, and anyone reads this, I am keen to learn
