After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

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
Hi, guys...
I`m facing the following problems with my XSP...
Fully charged the phone. Then when the batt goes bellow 50% the phone starts to randomly reboot and when comes back to life the batt % is dropped down with more than 10%...
Sometimes this happenes even with batt% over 50% but without the batt % drop... Yesterday it reboots at around 35% - starts - reboot again - maybe 3-4 times... Reboots soo fast after boot that I was unable to start Logcat...After that that phone calm down, stoped restarting. I`ve noticed that maybe this happened when I`m on WiFi... but maybe...
Current ROM : Slimkat LBL. Installed over clean stock 4.3 - brand new atm - its 1 day old.
I`ve tried Pacman ROM too - same thing....
Tryed Battery calibration App - the outcome was expected - zero .
My best guess is damaged /worn/ battery...
Any other ideas ?
Additional info : The phone did it again... It was in my pocket - so didn`t know at what % was the batery, but it was restarted and stayng on PIN when I took it -> shows around 67% batt. After entering PIN and finding operator network - it restarted immеdiatеly. Then - boot up -> entring PIN -> autorestart again. I`m getting a little angry...
Additional info 2 : Is it possible to be SIM-card problem... Since the phone stays ON while on PIN. And just after I entered it -> reboots... Currently testing the phone with SIM-card removed. It boots up and working without restarts so far... Will update if there is some restarts. Otherwise - I`m thinking of trying with some friends SIM-card...
News : Shut down without SIM-cad while in a game, with WiFi - On.
Will try to took some logcat...
News : Just did a factory reset to the current Slimkat ROM - when it starts the batt was at about 45-40%. After finishing and boot up - batt -> 6%... It must be the battery afterall...
Still - any ideas ?!? Or I must buy myself a new toy ....
At the moment, without any charging - battery shows 23% and the phone reboots as soon as I entered the PIN.
Battery showed in Philz Recovery - the same 23%.
Update : Restarts even on 90%...Last time I`ve managed to use the phone for more than 10 mins without reboot...
Tryed some placebo : Battery Life Repair - it shows 5-6 "low" sectors and stands that it managed to reaired them - same sh*t...
Update : Currently running 4.1.2 Stock ROM - the same...
Waiting for the holidays to end so I can send my phone to a service for diagnostic... and eventualy rapair..
Added : Logcat from Slimkat - just before restarting...
So a reboot followed by a severe battery drain.IDK whether battery problem or not but might be some hardware problem.
I suggest you to stay on stock(preferably 4.3).From my experience even i have noted some really nasty problems which were not reported by anyone but ultimately solved by returning to stock.

I`m on custom ROMs from a very very long time.... More than an year. Never experienced such problem... As I said - I`ve flashed Stock 4.3 - same problem...
The strange thing is... that the phone can stay on for a long time before entering PIN... Reboots after entered...
Plus - I can easily flash custom rom trough recovery - which takes time - without reboot or shut down...
I`ll try the phone without SD card... My previous phone - Motorola Defy had problem with some SD cards - it rebooted randomly - now I remembered...
And something more.. .I`ve recently droped the phone on the road , while running...poped out of my belt case. It has silicone case around it , but this can also be a reason - a mechanical internal damage...
I`m guessing that I`ll be forced to buy a new phone...The choice is clear - Xperia Z3 Compact, but it lacks of custom roms for now... And the stock one... well it`s stock
Working...
The phone is working now. Without SD card... The battery is draing a little faster, but not that much... I can change it afterall. But no reboots so far - more than an hour of browsing and gaming .
I currently have a Sony Z1 Compact which I think the battery thermal sensor is broken...
It all started with, I have a Euphoria OS with android lollipop 5.1 installed and one day I was copying videos into phone, and then during that time.... my phone sudden rebooted when I was transferring videos from my laptop, and not just normal reboot, it keep on rebooting every time it succeed on loading into the OS. (Yes it will reboot every time it reached the lock screen....)
And I also tried restoring a backup it was the same too... so I decided to charge the phone instead of letting reboot, but sadly it won't charge too! So I just decided to leave my phone to run dry and then only charge it back to see if it will work again. I can still enter fastboot and flashmode during this time.
After it ran dry, I can't charge it, I can't enter fastboot nor use flashtool to flash back to stock too, so I decided to spend some money on getting a battery replacement.
Once I got my battery replacement, I instantly flashed back stock (yup with some capacity in battery I can enter fastboot) and I just found out that when I plug my phone to charge it shows "Your device turned off due to overheating ,charging will continue once the device cools down." even know the battery isn't heating, so I felt bad for the old battery as I assume it was in good condition but the phone just refuses to charge it!
So after researching I ended up with, I think the battery thermal sensor is broken and I saw something such as kernel has setting that can disable battery throttle, but I know it's risky but I don't use my phone much, all I use it is for listening to music, messaging if I receive a SMS or maybe a short call which won't go more then 2mins.
I want to ask if I can actually disable thermal throttle via recovery because even now that I installed back to stock it's the same still ( I still get reboots after every time it loads finish the OS, weirdly for custom ROMs it will run finish till optimizing apps finish then only it will show the "Shutting down..." message ).
I can provide my TWRP backup of my Euphoria OS upon request and I hope that someone can help me out!
Thank you very much and I hope that you can help me out! (Sorry English isn't actually my native language but I checked twice for spelling errors so I hope you can understand my situation!)
Hi guys !
Yesterday I flashed the Nougat update and everything got fine (no issues at all and battery is wonderful) until my phone shut down at 19% battery. I rebooted the phone after charging up by pressing Power button for some secs in recovery by selecting Bootloader Logs (googled and one user said you can get correct battery % after rebooting like that). It worked for me one time so I tried to use my phone from 100% to 0% battery and everything went smoothly. But then when I charged it a bit (about 5-7 minutes) and tried to boot the battery said to be at 57%, then 35% after I rebooted one more time (which are both impossible since I only charged it for 5-7 mins).
I then rebooted using the bootloader logs method and it worked saying that battery was at 9% (seems much more fair to me).
So everything is stock and I really don't know what to do! I also tried to install TWRP to flash another kernel but seems that TWRP custom recovery is not permanent (flashed and everything is fine but after a reboot recovery went back to stock).
Any known fix??? Should I do something to recalibrate the battery? I don't really have an idea of how to fix that!! Help me please!
EDIT: Wiped cache partition another time and tried to reboot three times getting the same (I guess this time is right) battery %.
Maybe the battery needed to be calibrated another time? Now I will try to get my phone normally to 0% until it shuts down and then charge it back to 100% and see if the issue represents another time. What could that have been?
