Hello
I can't use my Galaxy S more than 3 hours, after that the battery is on 0 %. I've tried some of the guides here, but nothing helps. My phone is running Darky's Rom 9.1 Extreme Edition. I would be thankful if some of you could help, so i can use my phone without it should be plugged in the charger!
- Mosawer
I also got some issues with darky's 9.1. Did you tried 9.2 version? it solved most of my battery problems. but still i can't wipe battery status from the CWM.
No but i would definitely try it. I've also had Darky's rom 8.0, and the battery life wasn't the best on that also. To be honest, my phone has never survived a whole day without i should plug in the charger. I've also tried the battery wipe, but it didnt work, actually it just got worse. Before i tried the battery wipe, it could hold 7-10 hours, but now i cant use it more than 4 hours.
you could calibrate your battery, as flashing ROMs all the time can confuse the battery and make it think it is at a different % than it actually is.. try this
1. Run the device down until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it back on and wait for it to turn itself off again.
3. Remove the battery for 10 seconds.
4. Replace the battery, but leave the device off.
5. Charge the device until full and then for another hour.
6. Boot into recovery and reset battery stats (or, go to console and type “su” enter, followed by “rm /data/system/batterystats.bin”)
7. Run the device’s battery down until it turns itself off.
8. Charge to full while off.
9. Restart and use as normal.
when you have done that you could try a battery saving app i use juice defender its free, but there is a paid version with more features. what this does is everytime the phone sleeps (screen off) it disables all connections like 3g wifi data mode etc but still allows you to receive calls and texts..
also get your self a good task killer, and place a icon on the home screen to kill running apps quick, i do this everytime i put my phone in my pocket, making sure nothing is eating my battery apart from me when im using it.
try them methods and post back with your results in say 2days time ?? good luck
EDIT: another thing to do is use automatic brightness, this adjust the brightness of the screen depending on the ambience of where you are. e.g if its sunny the screen dims down, if its dark it brightens up... great for saving battery.
Thanks man, i will try calibrating my battery this way, but dont think i'm gonna download the task killer og battery saver, but i'll sure post my result after i've tried it !
well there is samsungs own built in task manager its good, you will be suprised what apps open up on their own and start using your connections and running processes without you even knowing. all that drains battery. but just see how you go
Well it didnt work dude, the battery life still sucks as much as before
- Anyone else who wants to help me?
Maybe u need a new battery...

If you flash a rom and the battery no longer behaves as it should and hundreds of other posts report exactly the same problem . Then is it not the rom you flashed to blame .
jje
Yeah i know, but it was after i've flashed the problem occured. I tried calibrating my battery plenty times without luck.
- I really dont know what it is, and its very frustrating!!

Hey... first off, what sort of things are you doing with your phone? Casual browsing, youtube, streaming? Wifi, GPS on?
If the battery is not defective, there must be some program instance that is draining that battery.
Wifi, GPS and that sort of things are off. I'm browsing a little bit, and then just use my apps and games, and of course i write some sms's. and hear music.
Thats the thing i'm doing on my phone.
Btw: When i unplug my phone from the charger, it immidately drops 2-4 %.

You have a darky rom its a known problem read his pages .
jje
Is the extreme drain also a darky problem?
Read posts on darky section if you have problems likewise read posts on xxx rom section if you have that rom makes sense .
jje
There are 2000 pages of posts man Do you want me to read that?

Running
Docs Rom Kitchen and no battery drain
Haha okay
But i would be pleased if someone have a solution for this problem!
Nothing have worked, but i finally remember how the battery drain started! It was when i decided to calibrate my battery. After i did it, the extreme battery drain started! So it has nothing to do with Darky's rom or something else, i is the battery calibratings problem. Anybody knows how to fix it???
hi guys, i'm getting really pissed off right now
i''ve got my phone for 3 months now and it worked like charm till the last month
every time my phone shutdown randomly , and when i restart it, my battery level is under the 10%
even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.
i've even tried it with a ics rom but still got the same problem
someone please help me

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.
Try ebay - you can easily find decent batteries for 5$ there.

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.
i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!
Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is
Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development
i have used TeamWin Recovery for wipe all partition becouse with hard reset don't wipe /system and internal sd.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.
If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then
Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung
i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung
In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !
Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0
Hello Guys, I'm using GingerDX from months and lately I started getting a strange problem- I go to bed with fully charged phone and in the morning the phone is switched off and when I turn it on it has only 1% battery left. This happened only 3 times-always through the night-one of the times I was even on airplane mode. Beside this- the battery acts pretty normal- 2 to 3 days.I took every popular battery saving measure, by the way and the internet traffic is always off when I don't need it.What this could be?
It happen on all roms,that battery goes down very fast. Like 2% in minute. If you see that,just reboot your phone and problem is solved + stop running services!

Thanks, but I can't see that, since it happens while I'm sleeping.I also have very few services running almost all of the time.And why isn't this happening all the time- I'm using the phone in the same conditions and settings all the time?
if its at 1% and the phone continue work then you might need calibration, but if you are telling that its shut down then might be hardware problem( of your battery)...
but you dont loose anything to go back at stock and see if the problem resist....

It shuts down, because the battery got empty at some moment-I guess this is normal.Then it stays switched off till I awake and notice it,let's say few hours ,and then when I am switching it on- I guess it has enough power just to turn it self on, after which I'm putting in on the charger.And yes- battery is calibrated last time I changed the Rom.
I have used Tonyp 28g, Topogigi 30a and Dj 30a,
i look over the thread but no one get auto shut down problem(maybe i miss out..)
Problem only occur when i use ICS.
cm7/9/10, gb, froyo didn't have this issue.
My phone will shut down after a time in standby mode,
i don't know how long standby the phone will shut down, but occur under 50% battery mostly.
I can switch on it after shut down without charging and having more than 20% battery left.
Attached pic are the battery status, when the battery drop to 0% it will shut down. in first photo i just accidentally screen on the phone and it stopped to drop, back to normal.
Sorry for my bad english
could i use lumberjack to logcat the problem?is it locate at lastkmsg?
try again a fresh install,den after boot once then boot to recovery wipe dalvic,battery stat,then fix permission.. if you use topo build,flash the other kernel.. after a 1st boot from clean install..
auto matic shutdown happen for me also with ICS. the frequency is like in 2 or 3 days. once. waiting for some sort of solution

sometimes i got this problem when i tried to flash my phone to 3-4x a day!!!
Even I have this problem, it happens daily to me only when I am sleeping, I was facing this problem with all ics rom, If your phone is fully charged then it does not shut down, I have tried fresh install wiped dalvik cache, battery stats but nothing helps.

thanks for the advice, but it doesn't help,
may be i have to keep my phone battery above 50% at outdoor,
may be i can just plug in the phone most of the time even sleeping,
may be i should wait for LG/dev bugfix, since i have already wait one and half year for cm10 and ICS, wait is what i can do
just hoping my o2x can hold on until i buy nexus 4 at a reasonable price
Hi all,
Hoping I can get some assistance. I've been using a stock 4.04 ICS ROM (kernel LRK) with a rooted Notecore kernel for the better part of a year without any issues.
My problems started a few days ago when I noticed that my battery wasn't lasting as long as it normally does. I turned off the phone and recharged it fully, then reset the battery stats but it didn't alleviate my problems, instead a few hours later while trying to browse some website, I noticed a terrible screen flicker followed by a soft crash (as in the phone turned unresponsive, screen was off for a few minutes and then restored to lock screen on its own) and I noticed that my battery went from 68% to 18%.
I tried using the phone and the same thing happened again, this time the battery showed 5% remaining and soon after the phone turned off completely as if the battery was completely drained. I put it on charge overnight. When I tried turning on the phone, it was stuck at the boot screen and would not finish loading.
Since I was using an emmc erase disabled kernel, I factory wiped/flashed to a stock Jelly Bean ROM and managed to restore my phone for the most part. It was working correctly while I was trying to set things up until I got to linking my google account (I had skipped this during set up)to download my contacts and settings.
The phone crashed (for the lack of a better term) as soon as my contacts and settings were loaded and now is stuck in a boot loop.
Battery shows about 70% charged.

usually i think its because of how every person use the charging procedure. if you leave you phone on charge for a long time even when its full.. it reduces the life of battery ... this i have seen on lot of phones..
