[Q] Fast battery drain after gingerbread, anybody else experiencing it?

Well after many many tries with topogigi's rom i had a lot of battery drain, after a while i thought its probably ok cause its a gb leak, probably its not that bad.
well after few days using it i decided to change back to froyo so i changed to FR19 from modaco but i have the same drainage really really big and really fast, i use the wifi for like 2 or 3 minutes and it goes down like 5 %.
My question is this normal? is my battery broken?
i did the calibration couple of times, i checked the usage of battery, just the "0" and "1023" proccesses using a lot of battery, i also checked if it was some app runing in the background but nothing seem wrong.
can you guys help me with these issues do you think i should change the battery or just keep calibrating it.
BTW i also read about how the battery Mv should be at 4200Mv when its at 100% but mine is just at 4170Mv and suddenly goes down to 4112 or less.
I hope you can help cause this is really annoying me a lot.
Greetings

Did you do a factory reset after updating to gingerbread, you need to do a factory reset, after your battery should be fine, make sure to take your SD card out.

Gingerbread is not battery friendly. With tweaked ROMs and tweaked kernels you can have correct results (see my config below), but Froyo 10d is stilll a reference hard to reach...

this could be many diff things, what i would do is 1 of 3 things:
1- try to calibrate it again
2- try a new kernel (maybe an sbc kernel, it might work better for you)
3- maybe try to flash a new rom for a bit and see if the rom you are running at the moment just doesn't like your phone.
at the moment i am running the decks rom for gingerbread and svz 2.2.1 kernel, however i just like to test new things but what has worked the best for me is the godmode (V9) kernel. i stopped using it because he is no longer updating his kernels but with godmode kernel and cm7 my phone lasted me a total of 1 day and 6 hours on 1 charge.

well thanks a lot for the help green arrow, what i did know was i charge full on and off after that delete battery stats manually calibrate it with battery monitor widget then turn off charge a little bit again turn on delete battery stats again and reboot this worked for me from 9:30 pm to 8 am just wasted 8% sleeping but anyways i thought it was too much so i checked better battery stats so there is a process called nvrm daemon the weird thing is that i dont have an overclocked kernel and im not using daemon so i wonder what it is.
if you want i can attach a screencap so you can help a little bit with this oddly changes with my battery.
Another thing is during night there was some changes it went from 2mh to 60mh then it start going down until 10mh at 7:30 am, if you want i can add the history report from battery monitor widget.
And finally im using gr4 Modaco's with stock kernel. Btw i changed my RIL to the v20j version the one that came with the rom and it seem pretty good after 10 minutes it sticked to 2mh.
well im gonna take some screens and upload them for you.

Some screens so i can get some more help

this may not be much help but, turn off your internet (3g/2g) and your wifi, and your 4g if you put it on, and your sync. let me know if you see some change. if you do then just turn on your internet when you need it but leave it off on a normal bases.

Huge Battery Drain ?? plz help, tried everything

Hello friends.
Using o2x from 2 weeks.
Tried lot of roms, all kernels etc.
but what i get average 1 day use of phone, 17 to 20 hrs (less 8 hrs of sleep then it comes to 9 to 12 hrs). with normal use.
1 hrs calls, 0.5 hrs data and remaining is here and there sneaking in phone.
i never used gps,wifi,bt etc, all are in off state.
.
now i m currently on cm7 kang by temasek with irnkernel.
still battery giving same draing.
draining 1% just in 3 to 5 mins when i m using phone (not on call or data).
and main point is i m on edge coverage, so no 2g use.
data is always off.
.
i dont know what eating my battery too much..
.
realy, i m getting upset.
i tried every kernel and every rom, did battery calibration etc.
.
Update : I forgot to mention i m using class 2, 16 gb micro cd card.
also i m using acer liquid metal's usb charger for charging.
will this affect on my battery ?
update : guys i want to mention one thing.
today i pissed of with this problem and thought it was battery problem.
so i planned to go customer care.
then turned back v20e which official 2.3 for india.
then i saw dramatic changes in my battery drain.
it was half as before, with stock thing, no apps installed, not rooted etc.
i m still monitoring my battery.
.
also one thing, is go launcher will be cause for this ?
cause when flashed with v20e. the widget show drain as around 130-150 mA.
then i installed go launcer ex, then drain was 250 mA.
.
what is ur normal drain when u r using phone ? (for those who r getting best battery life)
.
.

I have a similar problem, but it's likely because of 3G. With V10F Froyo, the phone drained <1% per hour in stand by, with 3G on. With V20L, and CM7 (any version of them), my phones draines 3-5% per hour. Tried anything, any ROM/BB combination, returned phone to warranty, but nothing.

OMG u r god!
how the hell do you have such a battery life?! even I am on temasek's kang!! at avg with your kind of usage it will go for less than a day :/

same with me..
hardly a day..
is there any problem in indian phones ?

See that 'better battery stats' image you put up? See the drop down menu that says 'since unplugged'? Change that to 'partial wakelock' and get a picture of it to show us the result
Also, you seem to have a lot of battery apps on the go.. are they conflicting?

i dont know

I had a problem with huge battery drain and the culprit was my sd card. I dont know why but it had problems scanning it so I think it got stuck in a scanning loop of some sort. When I removed it, all was fine.

i m getting angry on my phone.
see guys, i slept over night with 100% battery, just wake up n saw it wa 99%.
then used phone for just 20 mins.
and now battery on 92%.
now tell me friends, what i need to do ?

Do you have apps like juice defender? Accuweather? Uninstall them. They are probably eating you battery without you seeing.
See your running application?

nope.
in provided ssi was using jucedefender.
later i removed it.
same drain still

Perhaps you need to calibrate your battery (using baterry calibration app) and wipe the battery stats (via cwm)

i did it already.

My recommendation:
1. Flash vadonka's kernel (ironKrnL has good performance, but drains battery fast).
2. Remove widgets which keep accessing the net in background, stop background data over network (in settings)
3. Install AnTuTu battery saver and set battery saver level to level 2.
4. Remove SD card. Try to manage for a day without SD card. Set internal storage as SD card in CM settings.
5. End all background apps after using any app (use dr. battery saver or similar app to kill all apps).
6. Take any other precautions, such as lowering screen brightness, tick "use only 2G networks" option, dont allow automatic email syncing in background etc.
Try this for one day on a full battery and let us know the results. If it does not improve much, you probably have a defective battery. I also own this phone in India and my battery easily lasts 2 days on normal usage.

Thats normal i think. Get nearly the same results.

Try Rugglez suggestion.
Also check if your Baseband matches your RIL.(Download GetRil from Market)
And go into Settings --> Apps --> Running Apps and check if there are many Services running in the background.
Also you can try to install the Autostarts app, which lets you control which apps are allowed to open themselves in the background.

Update : I forgot to mention i m using class 2, 16 gb micro cd card.

Galaxy tab P7300 battery drain in 20 min

Hi all. After installing custom rom official from p7500 my battery got crazy and drains out after 20-30 min even after i charge it all night long. I did a stock recovery i also tried another rom but same problem with ALL ROMS. stock or costums! Need help plz.

We are in the same boat, most of us is facing this issue, but there is not a known fix.
We have to wait an answer from dev, KK, for a real idea on how to fix it.
Inviato da Tapatalk

Yep, same here (7310). Getting bootloops sometimes too. Tab completely destroyed. Battery doesn't even last long enough to fool a pawn shop into buying it.

Someone report that an attempt to fix is to go in cwm and let drain battery until it shutdown by itself, then recharge. Just give it a try.

Hi. Had same problem. Even nandroid recovery has the bug.
But i have my solution found. Now i am on KoldKaffee rom (it is suberb) - an the BATTERY WAS WONDERFUL
The failure was - that we flashed the Custom Rom with a not fully charged battery.
Okay what i do.
1. Loaded the akku - how much it goes - that i have enough for return to go back to stock 3.2
2. 3 x Wipe + delete Battery Stats in Recovery
3. Go into Stock 3.2 and do FACTORY RESET in Settings
4. after Reboot - shut down the 8.9 (turn power off)
5. USE POWER KABEL WITH PC (loading will take time
6. after it is full - you can install KK rom again

Try it,it works!

Has anyone tried to install battery calibration from the market? If you install a custom rom, charge your battery to the max. Open battery calibration (needs root) reset your stats unplug the charger and use the tablet until it powers down by itself (do not turn it off with the off button, sleep is ok, complete off NOT).
That always is the fix when installing it on my Samsung phone. After that the battery acts normal again. No need to wipe 3 times, install stock or whatsoever.

A lot of sites say battery calibration does nothing and is a myth or something, but I tried it anyway.
I'll give the CMW battery drain method a go.

I did the cwm method. Before do it i installed with odin a stock rom. I let the battery drain with cwm opened and then i did a full charge. Now battery is better. No so good than before but much better from yesterday. 4 hours now and its at 60%. I am still at stock 3.2. Ill try again for second time full drain battery with cwm and ill do a full recharge again before use. Hope this works.

I just gotta get the battery to drain slow enough to be able to sell it to a pawn shop now really... Heh.

I did this!
I let my tab be on charge until it was completely full (tab on), then I unplugged the charger and rebooted in to recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4) and did a battery stats wipe. When i rebooted it first did that blank screen boot (same as when i installed the rom).
I did this 5am this morning and now after c:a 16hours standby and 1hour surf/games its down to 85%! :fingers-crossed:

I'm on KK 7510 ICS port.

I had massive battery after flashing the P7500XXLQ8 P7500OXALQ8 for P7300 v2 (I came from cm-10).
I didn't think to check my battery charge level before I flashed but I suspect it was around 30%.
The new from was great but the tab died under general use within 60 minutes.
The battery level indicator was erratic- moving up and down between restarts and charges.
Problem persisted after full wipe and stock 3.2 flash via Odin3.
After flashing back to 3.2 i took the advice from astuermer and drained my system power, then rebooted into recovery and drained my battery for a further 5 hours until my tab was completely dead (yellow triangle next to the RED battery symbol on lpm animation).
Then proceeded to fully charge tab (while powered off) for 5 hours until 100%. Wiped everything and reflashed ICS rom.
With music player going, 3g browsing and full screen brightness on I'm on 94% after 60 minutes use. So far so good...
Thanks astuermer for helping us and kk for an awesome port

10 hours later.......playing music and 3g browsing for most of the morning and my battery is at 81%....looking good

Well some may claim it's a myth, but when I use a custom rom on my phone. I lasts three hours before calibration and 2 days after. So I am a firm believer. The easy way to check is, when your device claims it's running on fumes. I turn it off and plug in the charger. Then the battery charge indicator comes in screen. Claiming it's 2 third full. So that's when I know to calibrate.

Some hints.
Discharged the battery till system shutdown. Then connected to charger & the start of charging [email protected]%. Upon removal of charger, it says low battery & shuts down.
In cwm recovery now for draining the balance juices to start charging afresh.

hey Guys,
I attempted the cwm battery drain and from personal expeirence can confirm it doesnt work
I rebooted into cwm throught out the entire day until it wouldnt even turn on anymore
i then charged for the enitre day and booted into android to no avail, the problem still persists ... if anything seems more erratic and random than before, 97 to 84 in a minute, then suddently reported 94, then dead.... put on the charger, only works, take it off its working, but draining FAST..
Plan B... cwm charge to 100%.... clear cache, dalvik, battery etc etc reflash rom.... problem still persists and now its beyond me to explain why this is happening
will revert to 3.2
dont get me wrong, the first few days it worked it felt like new life in my tab, was having so much fun, so smooth, accapteble battery. hope this is resolved

Even getting back to hc 3.2 will not solve this issue.

As i wrote i did all these things. I did a secont full drain battery from cwm and a full charge with pad open till 100%. After that i went to cwm again with battery 99% i installed p7500 ics for my p7300 and same time(after the installation before reboot the device) i did a full wipe all things and also battery stats. My battery now afte 1 day 1 hour used time is at 59%. You can see it at the photo. I will do a third battery drain also with cwm after all that and then a full charge again. I HOPE I HELLPED...

[Q] Galaxy S Plus battery swelling?

Dear fellow enthusiasts,
since a couple of days, I'm experiencing sudden device crashes when I'm using it for network related activities, mostly over the 3G network (for example, I'm typing out a message on the Facebook app, and the phone goes into boot loop or simply "shuts down"). I had only recently upgraded to the 4th beta build for the Cyanogenmod 9, hosted here on XDA , so I suspected it would be related to this. However, upon reinstalling both the previous version and the new mod from absolute scratch, the issues remained the same.
I had noticed that after each crash, the battery charge displayed as very low (2-6%), whereas I'm certain the charge should be much higher. So I thought it might be some sort of corrupt battery-cache issue or something.
However, and here's my actual question, I just now noticed that my I9001 battery is slightly bulged, on both ends. This bulge starts just above the white printed SAMSUNG lettering, and it ends just bellow the QR code. I can't for the life of me remember if or not this is normal, so could someone please confirm this for me?
And while we're at it, could a faulty battery affect my performance as such (making my phone crash etc)?
Thank you very much in advance for any help or information anyone could give me.

I confirm, battery is slightly bulged in those places but it looks like a production "thing" to me (I hope I understood what you mean), no need to worry, I guess. Looks like corrupted battery stats, try to wipe it via recovery (phone fully charged, plugged in - then wipe battery stats). After that, i recommend one or two full battery discharge - charge cycles. I've noticed hovever, that after each full factory reset I have for about 20% better battery drain, than after flashing many ROMs, kernels and updates (cache and dalvik cache wipe only), my battery drain is getting pretty annoying. Try a full factory reset, if wiping battery stats didn't work.

I received my new battery last night, I went for an Akku Powercell of 1800mAh. Charged overnight, been using it all day, no problems whatsoever to be found.
Thanks again for the assistance!

Swollen battery = defective!
I'm sorry but I've encountered this as well in the past. Normally working phone with sudden shut downs and huge drops in battery charge. It took me a long time to convince me that the battery was defective. So maybe this would save you guys some time in finding this out!

Hey, try to use cm10 for a few days, if the problem gone then your battery is alright, and please stop using beta roms, regret are so buggy and slow: )

In general healthy batteries DO NOT swell. Buy a new one before it explodes or starts leaking...

Hey all, just because people keep on posting, the battery was indeed defective, the roms were absolutely fine and the new battery is performing marvellously!
Thanks again for all the input !

I confirm, battery is slightly bulged in those places but it looks like a production "thing" to me (I hope I understood what you mean), no need to worry, I guess. Looks like corrupted battery stats, try to wipe it via recovery (phone fully charged, plugged in - then wipe battery stats). After that, i recommend one or two full battery discharge - charge cycles. I've noticed hovever, that after each full factory reset I have for about 20% better battery drain, than after flashing many ROMs, kernels and updates (cache and dalvik cache wipe only), my battery drain is getting pretty annoying. Try a full factory reset, if wiping battery stats didn't work.

I have the exact same problem with my sgs i9000-gt.
My phone turn off itself ( no restarts, its a complete shutdown ).
First, I thought i might be a problem of GB 2.3.6 rom i was using, so i updated to latest cm10 but the problem persists.
If you restart the phone after the shutdown than i shuts down within a minute again.
Also the battery drain is pretty fast. I notice the same bulges on the battery as reported in this post.
I did the battery calibration thing as some people suggested, but that does not solves the problem. However, it got rid of the fast changes in battery status which was happening before. Like when you restart after shutdown at 80% battery status, it will show like 2% battery left and after few minutes of charging it would boost back to 80-90%.
But still the battery drain is pretty fast. It discharges from 98% (i cannot get to 100% charge, 98% is highest) to 50 % within an hour, just idling.
And when i am around 40% or so and if i recieve some message and try to open a app it shuts down again.
I have ordered a new battery just in case. Will update here if that improves things for me. But i will still like advice on which is a more economical kernel and rom for i9000-gt? Some people suggested slim bean + semaphore on some forums but i would like to have some more concrete advice before i change more things without knowing the source of the problem. I would be grateful if someone can suggest what is best to use with some details( version, etc). Thanks for that in advance.
I thank you all (users + developers) for all the useful information provided on this forum, i learnt a lot although i still am not able to fix my problem . And I hope someone might come up with a concrete solution for this problem. If there is a solution which I might have missed, I thank you in advance again and hope you will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
cheers
update: the phone stays alright if u dont do anything on it, but the moment you being doing something on it other than playing with system settings, like run some app, especially something that uses network / wifi, it shuts down. none of this happens though while its plugged in. it happens only when its on battery.

problems fixed so far after replacing the battery

I flashed back to stock samsung rom ( from the value pack) and the problem persisted.
today my new battery arrived and all the forementioned problem seems to be gone with the new battery, my phone seems to be working fine for last 5 hrs without any restarts or crazy battery drain. will test the same with custom roms again. As of now it only seems that problem was the battery.
Cheers.
thanks to the forum and developers

[Q] Is it normal for my battery to be so bad?

Hey all!
I've bought my Optimus 4X HD recently. I'm loving everything! Except the battery...
Today, I've tested it again and here's what the battery is able to do!
- 6 hours of standby, 3G and Sync enabled
- 4 times checked mail for like 4 minutes total
6 Hours later: 30% remaining.
Is it normal for this battery to be so weak? I've "calibrated" (drained to 0% and charged to 100% - left it for a long charge the first time too)
If it's abnormal I'll contact the helpdesk and see if they can replace my battery, just want to be sure if it's normal or not.
Software is latest available, non-root, very few apps -- verified with taskkiller of AVG: nothing is running in background or anything.
Thanks!

I think there are some wake locks denying the system to go into deep sleep.
Search the forum for solutions, it's a well discussed topic on here

I usually get at least fourteen / sixteen hours on a single charge when I unplug it in the morning before work, varies with how long the Wi-Fi turned on, and I get at least three hours of screen time, one or two of voice calls. I also have mobile 3g data always on with alerts for email, Facebook and Google+. Usually I listen to music for about an hour and half too. I'm running the 20a euro rom official, rooted. Try factory resetting and rooting to remove bloatware and LG logging software.
Hope this helps!

Very few apps installed by you... there is a lot of stuff running in background that you don't even imagine.
Search for the threads about "battery drain" and you'll get some more info.

Do you run the new 4.1 Jelly Bean? There is some huge debate going on, how the update affects battery life. Personally, I ran into huge battery problems after updating to 4.1. The drain was especially heavy during the night, when I usually active airplane mode. With ICS I lost about 1% during an 8 hour night, under JB it was 20-30%. I read up on the threads in this forum and followed many suggestions. I started to monitor battery drain with different apps running/frozen, wifi, 3G, airplane mode enabled/disabled and so on. To analyse the battery I found the apps "CPU Spy", "Wakelock Detector", "GSam Battery Monitor", and "Battery Log" helpful.
But to be honest, I am no "android pro". I monitored my battery drain for over a week and did not find a satisfying solution for the problem. Thanks to this forum and many excellent posts I managed to roll back my phone to 4.0.3 ICS. Now my battery drain is the way I remember it and I am happy again
For me, this solved the problem. Although I do not run JB, and some of the enjoyable improvements it had, anymore. I know that for some people rolling back is no option. If you cannot locate the battery killer easily and you are willing to play around with your device (rooting, freezing apps...), you might as well roll back and give that a try.

You should explore your device and your stock apps...
My battery last in JB for so long as in ICS.
If there are differences they're small.

Thanks all, very useful replies!
I've tried simply factory resetting it and, for about 3 hours it stayed on 100%, 2 hours on 99% and etc, very awesome!
I then set up my mail and other things and it went bad again. I had this sync symbol in my notification bar -- no clue why it was there all the time.
I googled why it was there and it's because the sync fails so it keeps trying. I removed the picasa for the email account (because uni mail doesn't support picasa and other google services) and my battery is top notch again! For now at least .

Looks like you're on WiFi which has good standby time. 3G standby is not good at all. That's when baseband_xmm_power starts acting up for me.

Following is my Battery usage still left some 17% with normal usage.

I've had terrible battery life... But when I went to cyanogen mod... It's been great for me ever since... Well two days actually. Lol
Sent from my Koala via the XDA App.

For me the same result with HSDPA. From 8:00 to about 15:00 oclock 15-20% of battery Just IM+ on, sync, some web browse + maybe one hour some games like beach buggy blitz or subway runner.

i am on cm 10.1 now and my battery is bad for now.For my case beleive or not my best battery life with some modifications is on stock ics v10h 19 hours on stand by and i still got 0% drain

mine is bad because of the baseband_xmm_power wakelock, had this on stock 20A but didn´t had on 10h... as far as i can search, there is no solution other than revert to old 10h....
I bought a spare battery so i never run out of juice! Reverting firmware is not an option for me.

baseband_xmm_power wakelock, same problem here, battery drain cause this at v20A Jelly bean.

i believe this wakelock is affecting every phone since 20A, just install betterbatterystats and see it plague and suck our battery juice
