Hi, i dont know if i am on the rightt topic but anyway i hope i will get an answer here, my galaxy S after few custom roms installed & reinstalled & with battstat reset few times now after i came back to stock rom 2.3.6 & even before the battery sustain good, but just when i try to play a game or use it on store for while (few minutes) the phone turn off, & when i bk it on it says battery low put in charger despite it is 100% full & after a while it increase & level up to the original status, so my question is, is the phone need calibration or anysort of bug fix or it is hardware problem; thnx cheers
Have you checked the contact points between the phone and the battery, maybe just give them a clean, and yes there's no harm in calibrating the battery, just boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
(don't charge the battery until the battery turns off your phone)
1. charge the battery FULLY
2. boot device to CWM Recovery
3. advanced/Wipe Battery Stats
4. reboot device

most people know about the fix for the battery going flat quickly
my question is
when you go to recovery>wipe we normally wipe top 3 options
will this wipe the batterystats.bin file without selecting the 4th option
if so why are we not told to have a fully charged phone before we wipe and install new roms??
this could be the main problem with people saying this rom is a battery drainer not using this anymore!!!!!!!!
BatteryCalibrator.apk
Hey guys,
I quickly threw together this battery calibration app - enjoy!

hello. i'm faced with a problem: i have my i9000 for about 1 year; never rooted it; only update my operating system 2 times via samsung kies when i got the message that a new firmware was available while connecting my phone to my pc (now i have PDA:JS4 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (ORO)); and for some time now the phone discharges very fast; lasts about 8 hours; i use it at a medium pace: making phone calls, writing sms and replying on messenger if someone gives me an instant message and every now and then i listen to some music when i'm going somewhere, besides that i don't use it much; and i don't have programs running in the background except for the accounts sync system for yahoo mail, gmail and yahoo messenger. so i decided to recalibrate my battery to see if it lasts longer. i got android terminal emulator from the market but the problem is i don't have access to delete the batterystats.bin since the phone is not rooted. so here are a few questions:
1. should i root my phone just so i can delete this file ?
2. which of the 2 methods works best for battery recalibration ? the one where you charge your phone till 100% while it's on then switch off and charge some more ? or the one where you let the phone die and the charge completely while it's off ? (i ask this because browsing the forums i see everyone saying a different thing about this topic)
3. if i decide to root my phone to be able to delete the above mentioned file, should i install one of those user made operating systems (i think they are called ROMs) that has a lower battery consumption rate ? (i don't know how to do it but i think i can manage following the tutorials on this forums). i saw in a poll that darkys operating system has the lower battery consumption. is that correct ?
thanks for reading this long threat and taking your time to reply to it!
1.) I would do so. With root access you do much more cool things.
2.) In Darky's forum (darkyrom.com) you can find a good manual for calibrating.
3.) Custom-ROMs have some features stick-ROMs don't have. At the moment you have a branded phone (branded by Orange?). Some ROMs need quite less battery (Juwe's for example).

- Now use your phone until the battery is flat again and charge full (no need to have it turned off, unless you it to charge faster). Repeat 2 or 3 times and your battery will be calibrated
- Only wipe battery stats once, run a few cycles of full charge / discharge and after that just use your phone as normal (i.e. no need to deplete / charge fully anymore).

How?
The phone is not new. Been no this Rom for about a week
I used this quide and all OK...
After the update:
In recovery mode, select options Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and also you need to select the option of “Clear Dalvik Cache” after which you need to reboot your device by selecting reboot system now after which all the cache files will get deleted.
You already tried calibrating the battery? And when you install a new ROM you generally have to wait a few days for the battery reaches its normal duration.
the best battery life i have ever had was on MIUI. It was like two days ... no problem. i heard for some guys it was even up to four days.
you are on a gingerbread bootloader, so its no problem to flash MIUI with a *.zip file in recovery. just search the forum here for a good version.
to do:
-glitch kernel
-download a governor ("conservative" or "ondemand")
-two apps from the market: CPU tuner, CPU spy
-search for tutorials for CPU tuner
=> fixed your problems
if you have flashed yout rom with your battery not fully charged, you have to calibrate your battery
And also doing 3-4 full charge
yes, u need to do full discharge recharge cycles 2-3 times... wipe battery stats after that from recovery mode on full 100% charge.
Hope this helps
I have two phones. Both running same Rom but i only use one phone. The other i charge the battery in
only just had to do that since the update.
So the batterys are always fully discharged and recharge.
I didn't know about calibrating the battery ill look into that now.
Thanks for the advice.
Just calibrated the battery fingers crossed this work. Half a day for a phone to last is poor.
Was thinking this is like the iphone
when you guys have fully charged your phones and you go into better status how many how's does it say it has left.
Is it random?
Mine says 40 hours
edit lol now it says 7 mins 40 seconds but battery is still full

You still didn´t gave the time battery needs to settle down. In a couple of days you will see that battery will again last for 2 days easly.
For a better rom that you ask on the first post find it on i9000 development forum. There you have roms with different specs. Choose and test them for yourself and see wich fits you best.
I should say for you to test the Hybrid.

Turning off most app synchronizing (settings » account & synchronisation settings) is making a big difference as well, at least to me. Just disable automatic synchronisation (keep background synchronisation on), and turn it off for all apps. Saves me quite some hours of battery. I'm assuming the update reset all your synchronisation to ON. I'm never using the word synchronisation again, pfft.
hello koooowweeee
Try BatteryCalibration (market) or.
1. Connect the charger to the phone while it is on, and let the load be up to 100%.
2. Unplug the charger and turn off the phone.
3. Reconnect the charger while the phone is off, and leave the task until it shows 100% again.
4. Unplug the charger, then turn the phone, wait for it to boot completely, then turn it off
5. Reconnect the phone to the charger (always off) and wait until it returns to 100%.
6. Disconnect the charger, turn on the phone with flight-+ power to access the Recovery.
Once in recovery, go to Advanced, and make a Wipe Battery Stats, then reboot the phone.
or flash CM7 7.0.2 Kang!

Well been using my phone all day and battery has lasted so far. Its on 13% now which is better than it was
ill try the method above tomorrow morning and see if that's better
the guide i seen on here was to charge battery to 100% then take the charger out and battery for 90 seconds then put it back in.
Seems to have worked
for the last one year i have been using s6102.. recently the battery after full charging within 3 hours fully drowned.. without doing any apllications.. after changing the battery same problem persists... even after changing ROM and kernel the problem still persists. what may be the reason plz help....

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.
