Battery Drain issues - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been facing issues with Battery Drain in Samsung Galaxy S Advance i have tried all possible options
- Rooted and moved to E6.2 ROM the issue was persisting
- Installed the India ROM freash with ODIN without any applications just plain stock rom
Tried several battery calibration applications no hope i have 40% battery drain in just 2 hours without 3G or Synch enabled no applications like Facebook and others also installed
any help will be greatly appreciated.

What did you do with your device in those 2hrs?
Try a wake lock detector. See if any apps are causing wake locks.
My Device : Rooted GT-I9070
ROM - 4.1.2 Stock I9070DDULP8
Kernel - CoCore-E-6.2
Recovery - TWRP 2.5

Make sure that brightness is not full, set it down to lowest and test battery again. If you'll use the Power Saving mode, it'll easily give you 2-3 hours extra, try turning it on and see if it makes a difference.
Some users also suggest draining your entire battery and then charging it continuously for 5-6 hours switched off. That shows better backup results as well.

And the maximum brightness that is not why the battery drained so fast. In just 2 hours battery too low. Try a battery recalibration and uninstall the application that processes in the background.

Battery problem I think....

This looks pretty normal to me because you don't post how long your screen was on..how long your calls were..and I can see wifi is on almost all the time. There's bluetooth on too. And the total percentage of thw battery used in the ss inly accounted for 84%..where's the other 16?

Yea, on the screenshot there is no point where battery was 100%.
Discharge battery untill phone shuts down, then charge it to 100% when it is off.

[Q] Having fast batt drain after installed Oversome 3.1.1

Dear all,
I just upgraded my tab into overcome 3.1 from my initial GB 2.3 . The reason why i started to discover some issue on my batt usage is within 2hrs it will take off 20% of my batt when i fully charged in the morning.
After which i check on my application - batt use - it show "display" is at 92% on the top and android system is at 2% at the bottom. Whereby when i use GB 2.3 rom, it will show andoid system is at 80~90% and display is at the bottom of 3%.
(Note: i have even set my display to the lowest and set it to Auto mode, some of the un use application i also shut down)
I have started to think should i change back to GB 2.3 or is there any brother outside can advise what should i do to change this situation. Hope someone can help me on this ..... Thanks in advance.

dear all, after further confirmed, my colleagues also having the same problem as my, I was wonder is there a bug in this version as em not sure why the consumption of the battery was so high after installing overcome 3.1
First of all, old ROM had a bug, battery usage was displayed wrong. That is fixed, but they are now working on R2 version of kernel (Reverted lowmemkiller change which may have been blocking kswapd0 from sleeping, resulting in battery leakage).
This last kernel has a new ROM as it's base, so you have to install new ROM first and then full wipe version of kernel.
Good to hear I am not the only one.
Hermes was an awesome rom concerning battery stamina. I hope the guys from Overcome will make this R2 release just as good.

thanks for your quick response.
The latest version of the overcome kernel is pretty good on battery life for me.. the only thing that seems to be wrong is the reported charge level against the battery display level..
Even after calibration its still way off (20%)..

i think you need to perform a "wipe on batt" in cwm maybe can help. Anyway i also discover that my tap below 4 buttons occasionally the light will be blinking on and off during at the standby mode, i belived this also can cus some batt drain off too. Anyway, most of the people are concerning about batt duration especially devise such as non-detachable batt. For me, i use my tap outside most of the time especially during business trip hangging in the train station or airport.... Well, i think we appreciate the overcome team and the rest of you guys to test it out and gain feedback for improment.... cheerss... and Selamat Hari Raya to all muslim people ya.
did you try the tweaks here re: Battery Recalibration and Reconditioning…
http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=68
and do note that:
battery wipe by itself would not immediately “improve” your battery life. IN FACT, during the first charge cycle after a battery wipe, you might notice a slightly less than optimal battery-life! This is because, the stats have to be rebuilt, which is why after a couple of FULL charge cycles after the battery wipe, when the stats are properly “repopulated”, which is when you’ll see the difference.

yes, i have did that after going through the forum, and today is a second day after the wipe, but i would recognized that if you put the tab in Normal stanby mode, the batt will drop about 1% in about 4hrs since i have started to monitor this morning... well, i will continue to monitor aand post it again. thanks for your advise.
my one on overcome 3.3.1 seems to last at least 1 hr when the battery notification show 0!!!
I have tested my second days after batt wipe, it seem that if we put at standby mode the batt really better then earlier versions, i can notice that last night was 26% at 2.30am and this morning waikup at 7.15am, the batt indicate 24%. (Note : my wifi is on, except BT and GPS is off).
My conclusion for now is that the OC 3.1 batt life is ok and even better when it was in standby mode, however whenever any application for example browsing internet or starting reading news, the batt will start to drain off like 1% every 3min (my estimation point of view).
Hope the OC team can help to improve from here OR the nature of this OC 3.1 is normal on this circumstanses. Cheerssss....

[Q] Mobile Network Signal (Cell Standby) DRAIN

Hello guys I'm a newbie here so please do explain to me some of the stuff if you need to
so recently (about 2 weeks ago) I used this guide to root my Incredible S and did everything except the Blackrose part
and since then
I've noticed that my phone has drained its battery a lot quicker than usual
I lost 11% of battery when I woke up, fully charging it the night before
I usually do not use it much, only a call every 2 days or so, and I do not have internet connection
so I cannot understand how I have to charge it every day now, when it used to last 4 days (on Sense)
here's a pic from betterybatterystats
thanks everyone
------- 4/10 edit
ok
back to stock rom
it has the SAME problem
"No data connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" on Betterbatterystats
with steep drops in battery whenever there is "Mobile network signal"
and next to no drop whatsoever when there isn't
PLEASE HELP ><
new attachments down there with stock rom
tell me if you need a translation
THANKS

Battery drain has already been discussed much in the CM10.1 thread. Its been discussed in practically every AOSP thread really.

I know and I've tried to look around for answers for quite a few days
but for most people
it's either the same as Sense or something else (too many apps, not charging fully...)
and for those with similar conditions
I can't find solutions for
and the problem got worse today
in the 7 hours I slept yesterday
the battery drained from more than 50% to nothing
so the alarm didn't ring because it shut itself off

The standard charging time isnt what it says on the box or anything. It should be roughly 6 hours from 0% to 100% and thats providing you plug it into an AC outlet. I would suggest trying an app called Greenify. It hibernates certain apps/ services that may not be in use thus saving battery. I would also regularly check the Running Apps in settings and clear out anything unecessary.

nonono
I don't have a charging problem
it's a drainage problem
and about Greenify
I already installed that when I looked over the battery saving guide (which didn't help)
I literally have 5 apps in the Running Apps section
the part I don't get is
why does Cyanogenmod 10.1 use battery so much quicker than Sense
when I have 1/4 the apps I originally did?
it's the "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" part really bothers me.
oh and thanks for the time btw

Hmm then this battery drainage is strange. Try making a full backup in recovery. Then clean flash the ROM again. If the problem still persists, then I have absolutely no idea whats wrong lol

Actually
I tried that...
on Sunday afternoon I reflashed it
my exact steps:
1. ClockworkMod backup
2. Install from zip
3. Advanced restore - data (I restored the whole thing too once before that, but thought that just restoring the data might actually change something)
and that's when it went from 50% to 0 overnight
not looking too good -.-

Well then sit tight. Szezso is gonna release a CM10.1 for us as soon as he gets his new USB port.
oh well then
thanks for the help anyways
I'll just keep waiting
might want to go back to Sense though...
and more pics from BetterBatteryStats
just in case anyone knows what they mean
Drained 56% of my battery while I was asleep yesterday (for about 7 hours)
only 6% in the time I was at school, because of Airplane mode (I even listened to music and played a little Doodle Jump)
but I obviously want a phone to CALL PEOPLE
so I'm reverting to stock Rom
OK
so that didn't work out
I edited the main article
hope someone can help!!
meanwhile I'll look for more articles online since I know it's not (really) CM's problem anymore
thanks
Ensure to charge your mobile fully and after a NORMAL usage (calls, WiFi, Mobile Data on).
Just share the dump file from betterbatterystats. It would help to analyse better.
Edit:
Could notice you are using some widgets in the home screen. Usually widgets with high refresh rate drains your battery.
2. Facebook app is causing the partial wakelock. Even when the screen is off, the app is using your CPU. Try to disable autosync if it's enabled
3. Audio_out3 wakelock is due to phone vibrator is enabled. May be during call or keyboard haptic feature.
Power manager service wakelock is common and its in good level.
Try to check your CPU freq n governor.
And adjust accordingly. One more, Li-on battery should not be charged fully. Just charge till 85-90%. The battery will drain little lower compared to fully charged device. And you need to charge your device only when battery is low. Frequent charging n discharging will affect the battery life. Consistent Charge and discharge cycle is encouraged.
Try to share your fresh dump here or in batter battery status thread. There are many folks to help you with.

Thanks for the detailed reply sir
My widgets (aka weather & tasks) only refresh manually, and nothing is on Autosync (in the auto sync menu, anyways)
originally had only vibration for calls, turned that off too now
and what is "CPU freq n governor"?
didn't know that about the batteries
I'll do that next time
and I just reinstalled betterbatterystats, so I'll post the Dump File after a few hours

I mean CPU frequency steps and CPU governor. It's a kernel thing. Just search xda, you will lot of info regarding that.
Sure, post your dump with normal usage.

[Q] Help with huge battery drain on usage [TRIED EVERYTHING]

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....

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:

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 ?

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

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

Battery drain no matter what i do

Even without sim card, the battery still drains, drained 10% every 5 hours. ( even wifi is off it still drains)
According to BetterBatterystats, the highest wakelock count in partial wakelock before is *backup*, (removed after disabling google backup)
The most wakelock right now is SuperStamina Xssm, it can be stopped after disabling Stamina mode, but even i did , this battery still drains.
any way to solve this? airplane mode also drains battery, basically nothing works from stopping battery drain.
in your screenshot you use wifi right?
Try to switch to GSM only (2G) in network settings and see if there's any difference.

How little do you expect the battery to drain? What are the current wakelocks right now? Are they still the same?
Can you use Wakelock Detector instead? The Xperia SP's battery might not be as great as you think....
Let's just calm down, and of course, help can never be demanded. Maybe your phone has a hardware problem that none of us can solve.

Why wait so long?
Take your phone to a sony service center(or where ever you bought the phone) and let them have a look at it, might be that your battery is just not working properly. They will replace if it for you.

they said it's normal for a phone without sim card to standby 2 days without using it
i personally think is software problem, i tried drain the battery down to 0%, then charge it full without break,
after that, the battery drain is just godly, after 2 days left 98%, but then the battery suddenly started to drain like hell,
after 5 hours it became 94%, then it keep draining down as usual.

not sure if backing up ta and flash cm is the last resort, i'll go with aokp but there's no official built for sp yet.

If all the app draining apps are closed and alsoare bluetooth screen brightness and wifi.
The problem may be deeper.
Your kernel may have flipped and its draining this much battery i am not sure how to check it but i would not suggest you to flash a new kernel right away just because i think thats the problem.

for your information, see this graph, 2 days with good standby, and then went from 95% to 35% in less than 20 hours
this problem is occuring with stamina mode on or off, nothing works
edited: reflashed another stock kernel, will see how it works

have you tried calibrating your battery? if you haven't try this.. i always do this when my battery gets miscalibrated. 1st turn off your phone, take out the battery and leave it for 1 to 2 minutes, put the battery back, go to recovery mode and to CWM recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats, reboot your phone
give feedback if it works or not,,
This doesnt calibrate the battery,it only delete the logfile of the battery.i think he need a new one.please op,next time ask in right section.
MANY GREEEEEETZ!!!
Use only 2G Networks
1. Proper way to calibrate battery:
Drain the battery completely (use an Xposed module called disable critical battery shutdown, google it). Then, recharge the battery to 100% (DON'T unplug the charger cable while charging) and done.
2. Underclock when necessary.
3. Don't run too many apps at one time.
4. Make sure that deepsleep is working.

1. You can use Wakelock Detector from Play Store.
2. It is normal behavior...... if the battery status won't move from 99% to 100% after 1-2 hours (while charging), there might be a problem.
