Very weird battery readings - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
So, I upgraded to KitKat (duh!) Loving all the new features.
But... After having used j-team aosp for a while my phone wouldn't give me proper battery readings:
Phone would say that the battery is charging even though it's not.
Phone would say that battery is at 100% even though it's not and it would later on (randomly) switch to some other value closer to the real value and decrease very quickly.
Phone does not recognise it's charging and instead displays the same value all the time.
Now, I can make it work OK if I reboot the phone, but it's really a bit of a hassle.
This same issue is present even after I switched to TC CM11 so I'm not sure it's rom-related (did all the wipes of course!!) but at the same time my boyfriend had the same issue when he installed cm11 on stock jb, so I don't think it's phone related.
I tried a couple of battery calibration apps with no avail.
Any suggestions...?
Thanks in advance!

Do couple full charge and discharge and see what happen. It is like that when you change ROM, my fist charge on new CM11 gave me half day of use, but 2-3 charge was fine.

Well, the thing is, I've been using cm11 for more than a month now. I'm sure the battery has had enough time to settle!

[Q] Battery-friendly ROM

Hi guys, maybe you read this question a lot of times...
In your opinion which is the best battery friendly ROM for our device atm? I don't really care about performance aspects because I'm not a gamer

I get +/- 1 day on stock JB (GPS always ON, data always On). Last time i tried CM (RC2) i didn't get 6h...
I'm currently getting a decent ammount of battery life with CM Nightly 20130613 + Idoak v6 kernel.
Also Stock ROM with Idoak kernel is good aswell. Just have my Governor set to Interactive and seems to do a pretty well job.

From what I've read/heard around. The CM RC version are alot more buggy and problematic than the Nightlies. I haven't tried the RCs myself tho the Nightly does feel pretty smooth and stable.
Which firmware?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
ROM has little to nothing to do with battery life, aside from the obvious settings you can select to turn opn or off features. what does influence battery life is how you use the phone and in particular 3 key elements
1) Kernel - Stock kernel is pretty limited, using alternative kernels will allow different governor and scheduler options along with frequency and voltage control
2) Tweaks - many unsuspectable little things can change the way your phone drains, probably the best way to start is getting pimp my rom from the plauy store
3) Apps - You will need apps to help managing and scheduling when and how the phone drains. LBE security master or any other task manager will prevent unwanted app startings and others like juice defender or other battery saving programs help with which interfaces are on and when.
Also keep in mind that if your phone is new the battery in the first 3-4 days need to settle and will change drastically behaviour.
Hope this helps
In any case a catania sto telefono te lo fanno prima della terza ricarica quindi non mi starei a preoccupar troppo
Grazie XD
In this case which kernel and governor do you suggest me?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
Stock rom, remove LG MLT and Google Backup Service and you should be good.
I can leave my phone for 2 days without worrying about charging it. However, with screen set to 50 or 100% brightness, the battery drains very fast.
Otherwise, keep your screen brigthness low and get a governor that lets you throttle the CPU. At 800 MHz,you should be fine. Also, dont use auto brightness, it will not help.
Thank you which firmware?

EuroOpen V20A if stock or CM, some nightly between RC2 and RC 3(Thats the last ones I tested that used to be good)
Could someone help on what r the steps for install custom ROMS and Wich one is the best for battery life I'm having very very huge battery problem. The battery it's long for about 3 hours tops and I need to keep charging always and also the overheat is extremely. I will appreciate ur help

Sorry but you should write a new topic for this problem... Anyway there are several guides in this section that revolve about how to install custom roms. Try looking there... However generally after installed a recovery you should do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) -> install zip from sd card -> choose zip from internal/external sd card -> [file directory] -> choose file -> yes

Im using iodak 6.0 and latest CM nightly builds. Battery is much better then on stock ROM and kernel.

I dont know if iodak improves battery life, but I do not think that battery improved with CM. It actually got worse for me,
XenonHD + iodak v06 has been very smooth and battery friendly. A day and a half of moderate use and I'm sitting at 18%

There are not many kernels for stock JB but i think that EPRJ Kernel is the best one in term of performance and battery life

No, EPRJ Kernel has issues with the cm10.1 version, the stock version is running perfectly.
No i'm not using it anymore but i used to and i can tell you that the battery life was really good

I would also suggest iodak..I am using it for two weeks now and I see some improvement..You can undervolt and underclock for better battery life too...
You should try reinstalling your ROM, try with v20c, my dad's phone has one day and a half of battery with two hours of screen on, sync on with a gmail and a exange account from his work, whatsapp and that, in my case I can reach 10 hours on zaiben with eternity project and with gmail sync, whatsapp and 20 mins of playing modern combat 4 and real racing 3 each

[Q] battery not charging to 100%

Hi guys, I've moved from stock GB to cm10 and then Mackay.
In both cases my sgs battery charge indicator never goes above 96% after a full charge (plugged in up to 8 hours!!!).
When I was on stock GB it was always correctly charging up to 100%...
Does anybody know how to solve this anomaly?
Thank you!

I read something about for I9001..
Do you charge in power-off mode? You should try to do like that, then turn on the phone, re-join it to the battery charger, wait for the 100% and a quarter of hour after unplug the phone. In that way the battery should reset.
Alternative way is downloading an app from the store to re-calibrate the battery. Search on market like 'battery'

Huge screen battery drain

I've been having the battery drain since I installed the rom.
I've been charging my phone with a 2 amp charger.
Could that be the issue?Or is it a software problem?
I'm running CM11 0131 nightly . and the device runs hot.
There's a screenshot attachment if you need it.
Thanks :good:

Battery drain in custom rom 6.0.1

I need your help. I have problems with my N910T, it makes dias Dr Ketan install the rom rom based on 6.0.1, I did as I was in 5.1.1, turn off my Note all night and the next day had dropped about 20% load. Install another rom, with OvrDriVE and I also did the same. Now I install official 6.0.1 rom stock, I proceed to install NobleRom V3 which is very good rom and also reoccurs me the same battery drain while my note is off all night. Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions.

You need to give a ROM about 3-5 days to settle before the battery is life is at its peak. I recently flashed marshmallow and it took 4 days to settle. There was a big difference on the fourth day. I think doze takes a while to work.

Use the custom rom for a week or so, and the problem was the same, to turn my note all night the next day down around 10% charge my battery. I have 2 batteries are almost new and both the same thing happens

Use the wake lock detector app to see what's using to much battery or at least look in settings at the battery section to see what apps are using the most juice.
