Hello!
I took time to search on this forum (and elsewhere as well), up to 2005 (yes, I did it!), but no part of answer still.
Here is my problem: I have this XDA IIi for a long time, and I flashed it a couple of weeks ago (WM2003SE, french rom 1.11.02 FRE from QTek, Radio 1.04, ExtROM 1.11.116 FRE), and everything worked correctly for a while. I installed TomTom v6.03, then Igo 2008 (much better), SPB Time and SPB PocketPlus.
Since about a week, my battery (quite old, it's true. 1300 mAh) is draining very fast. Less than a day, with no phone call, no screen, nothing... I charged it for all night, 5 hours later I find it empty!
I also have to say that I can't use my phone with less than 20% of battery, or it stops, but since the beginning (it's a second hand phone). No way to drain the battery to 0%...
Moreover, I sometimes noticed the indication on the screen that it is busy (sorry, I don't know the word in english!) since last week. It comes on the screen for a second or two, then disappear for a second or two, and so on. I also noticed a change in memory occupation, for about 0,2 ko (thanks to SPB Pocket plus today plugin). But nothing is running in Parameters/Memory. Totally empty.
I say "sometimes", because when it appears, I know my battery is draining fast, so I do a soft reset, and it doesn't reappear everytime. Sometime it helps, sometimes not: it cames back
It is for me a professional tool, as well as my only cellphone, so I desesperatly need it functional!
Can anybody help me? Please....
Hi again...
Fully charged.
Less than 2 hours later, 17% lost...
No wifi, no bluetooth, no program launched, no phone call, no screen turned on, nothing, nothing, nothing...
Anybody?
basically u need a new battery, they can go any time, try and get original, the higher powered ones can be unreliable
Coucou!
I hoped it can be solved in another way... Are you really sure? One day it works well (or quite well, at least), and the next day, it's done?
By the way, is it worth in investing in a new battery with such a PDA, or should I change it for a newer one???
Anybody can help me making my choice?
I bought a new Heavy duty battery (3600ah) and it works fine but a lot of the current drain could be due to settings i.e. do you have the cpu on standard or Turbo mode obviously the turbo is a heavier drain, turn down the time the screen stays on etc etc although I am fortunate in that its usually sat in either a cradle indoor's or in the Car unless I am walking about which is rare as I am disabled longest it went without charging was about 15 hours recently when I stayed with friends in Wales it dropped to about 57% but I have since bought a mains charger for such situations
Coucou!
In facts, nothing absolutly changed during this time. Since a long time, it's been quite usual... 2-3 days before battery drains completely, with phone calls and so on...
But, due to troubles with application, 2 weeks ago, I flashed it again (ROM specified in my signature), and reinstalled all my applications...
Some days after (I didn't noticed first), my battery started draining very fast. So, one day it's OK, the next day, everything goes wrong.
Nowadays, it losses about 8 to 10% per hour. No phone call. Screen turned off most of the time, minimum light mode. No wifi. No bluetooth. And as my PDA completly stops when battery reaches 20% or so... No way to drain it completly. So it lasts 8 to 10 hours max. A night... When fully charge before going to sleep, at dawn it's over. Off and refuses to turn on: less than 20% battery.
And yes, it's "CPU turbo mode ON", but since the beginning........
Should I change my PDA?????
Should you change your PDA?
well it depends:
1. if you have a budget. in case you do, sell you're stuff and get a newer one. There are lots of new PDAs around that is worth the money with a newer model that run wm6.
2. If you don't have the budget or just don't feel like having a new PDA. I guess you just need s new battery. stick to the original. mM best bet is you'll get the same standby time when you already replaced it with a new one. I had an experience that my battery reports I'm low then after a whole night it went up to 77% which is weird because I did not charged it. I'm too lazy to get up so I had it under my pillow. I had it checked and the issue was the battery.
3. If you feel that the battery isn't the issue. Try flashing it back to the original. or try flashing it with another build. then observe if it still drains as fast as before.
IMHO the XDA IIi is still one of the fastest PDA's around, be a long time before I change mine out (barring accidents)
The XDA2 still holds its head high with the latest models on performance, in fact many of the latest ones appear sluggish to use in comparison I think due to the persistent memory. I bought a 3600 Ma battery from ebay and even with a reasonable number of phone calls (2 hours a day) and a lot of daily use as a PDA it does 2-3 days between charges if I don't plug it in. However sometimes the power monitoring looses it and needs correcting by taking the battery out as if you were swapping batteries putting it back and then doing a soft reset and when booted up put on charge for 12 hours. It may be your Rom (mine is the standard last O2 one but patched with the radio 1.4) but likely cause is the battery. Basically batteries start to degenerate after 1000 charges, sometimes a bit earlier. If you do get one of these batteries give it a good long charge before you start to use it to "condition it"
Coucou! I read attentively what all of you have written, but I was away due to sick [censored] sickness...
To MrLeche:
No, I don't have much money to change my PDA, as my main complaint about it is its really poor camera. Otherwise, it is as fast as I need, including for Igo2008... And I don't really need WM6, objectively!
And may be your pillow is an excellent free/green phone charger!!! :lol:
I'll try to flash it and test...
To Robsno:
After I will have tested with another ROM and see if the battery still drains quickly, I'll certainly buy another battery, but not a 3.600, as I need my PDA to stay flat to plug in my car craddle!!!
And why does it allways stop as there's 20% battery left ??????
Fair enough I had to modify my take and talk car cradle to take the 3600ma one so I know what you mean, there is a standard sized 1700ma battery available from a seller in the states, i used that before the 3600ma and they do give that bit extra as a second option. Best of luck
Hi!
Thanks for your answer, Robsno... I'll take a look at it quite soon, I think

As usual...
WHY CAN'T IT DRAIN ITS BATTERY TO THE REAL END ?
(Sorry, but I'm really fed up with it, and I won't have time to flash it til sunday... )
I have a 3600 on mine I also have a Brodrik mount the XDA still slide's in and "Just" fits the leather case, you have to remember your not running a phone your running a PDA / COMPUTER so if the screen is on it will run down the battery quick if you only have one of the small batterys your talking minutes, it also has to shut down to maintain a small ammount to revive the computer i.e. the 15% the main way to save power is keep the screen off except when connected to external power of course and dont play silly games / multimedia files, I presume your mount does have a external power pick up?
Coucou !
When I say "it stops", it stops completly ! No way to turn it on until... long minutes... And even then, it stops again after just few seconds.
And there's still about 20% shown!!!!
Someone can explain this to my low-battery brain?!!
I had the same problem with my Qtek 2020i. This is not a battery issue. My PPC also used to drain out its battery in one night (no calls, no programs running, screen switched off, sleeping near its user's bed). I had many programs installed on it and I did not want to lose them, so I tried many ways to make the device work.
I will not describe all my worthless attempts. At last I made a hard reset and reinstalled my programs. Since this time my PPC works as it should be. The problem happened 1,5 years ago. Since this time I did not change my battery. This battery was bought together with the device and keeps working for about 3 years. It may sound a miracle, but it is real.
My advice in this situation is hard reset and reinstallation of all programs. One may try to make backups after installing any program to find the one that causes this bug. As for me, I don't know the reason and don't care. The thing that the problem is solved and does not reappear is enough for me.
i have Qtek 2020i and i have the same problem.
i have 2 batterys (original + brand new one) - same probmems.
in sd/mmc slot card i have SD card Sandisk ultraII 2 GB (class4).
if i remove de card from slot my battery drain in "normal" mode:
08:00 full charged
22:30 50% (with total calls 08:21)
so
in these case i use my 2GB card only in my car for igo8
I also had this problem, and after some testing I tried a Hard Reset, which fixed the problem for me too, yes I had to reinstall a load of stuff, but since then I have had no problems with battery life, it's still the original battery.
I now own a Kaiser, a Touch Diamond and a Touch HD ( work in progress, repair), and still my XDAIIi is faster and in some ways better than those, ( I cannot use any of the others as an Oscilloscope/Frequency analyser ).
Hello,
i have a bad problem with my LG starting from day one when i bought it. I tried many things now, to no avail.
The problem is that sometimes my battery falls from high percent value to 0 just in one second. then the mobile goes out and i have to charge it, even it was nearly full some minutes ago.
Another problem is a warm mobile in standby mode when i have mobile inet active, and battery wont last longer than 4 hours. With WIFI it doesnt get warm but starts to decerase RAM until the mobile is unusable (timeouts, freezes, ect)
So there are 3 problems, i think related together somehow:
1. sudden Akku drainage, falling from high percent value to zero
2. fast akku drainage with mobile inet on, doesnt fall from #to zero, but get used up very fast
3. Unusable mobile due to RAM issues when WIFI activated.
Here are following some pics and a Log attached from Android Stats. Here you can see starting at 9.34 the bettery recalculations, in very short timeframes.
Can someone see any issues from the log what could be the problem?
The situation was like this: I recharged yesterday evening, and turned mobile inet on. Then i went to sleep. In the morning i saw that i had no connection to google servers (icons white instead on green) but i saw the battery was only drained 2% over night so i thought not bad.
I reactivated internet (mobile) in hope to get conn to google servers. Well, i got it but in same time the battery got drained from 98% to just 40% in one second. Since then the mobile stays warm. I have auto sync deactivated.

I forgot:
Android 2.3.4 original, rooted but nothing changed on firmware/rom/baseband/anything
So i inserted screens now.
you have some kind of background application that doesnt let your phone enter deep sleep mode to lower cpu frequency and conserve battery (phone is awake when screen is not on, you can see the activity in the pictures). you should check what app is using most of the CPU time, it might not be code optimized and might be sucking too much of the battery.
also, it might help resetting the battery stats, search a bit and find some info on that (short version, charge it to 100%, let it for another hour plugged in, go in CM, delete battery stats, restart).
worst case scenario, your battery is busted and a replacement might be needed. hope that helps.
andrei.je said:
just a hint : most battery consumption can be checked in the battery stats, on the activity graph : awake vs screen on - if awake and screen on are not synced in the activity graph (should have same lines) then you have a problem. meaning when your phone has its screen off it should go into deep sleep mode (lower cpu frequency) but if you the phone is awake while screen is off, you have an application installed that won't let your phone sleep and just keeps using the cpu and sucking the battery.
this is mostly applied to standby battery life, if you are playing a game/watching a movie, doesn't really matter screen is on, cpu/gpu is sucking the battery.
my worst battery life while i had the O2X was about 16h, but that's with normal phone use (no games - you can have a psp for that, no music - you can have an ipod for that), mostly emails, browsing, IMs, calls/texts all day long also best battery life was 2d 10h (mostly on standby)

Thanks for also answering my post on the other topic.
It may be that theres an app that keep our phone from sleep, but even with this app, when i dont turn on wifi or mobile internet, the mobile runs 6 days straight. This is no joke, offline it could hold 6 days, i have a screen of where it looses 8% in 28 hours. And as you can see on my screen, it happens from one second to the other.
I already changed the phone the third time now, even with very few installed apps, this remains. I had it first time on day one when bought th mobile. Since then in all 3 mobiles maybe 15 times.
Anyway, it bothered me, but not as much as that the phone went nearly unusable with internet active. Always at 50 mb ram. So it was basically an offline only phone. In my 2 tests, both 5 days without internet, the mobile neither went slow, nor went off, nor lost battry, nor anything. Very fast LG OS. Until internet...
Anyway, now i installed Chuck Norris CM /MIUI ROM, lets see what happens. Until now its so smooth and soft, it feels like a complete other mobile. Also with wifi active... but i cannot say anything until tomorrow.
I tested already a lot of System Analyzer apps but theres really not much to see. Nothing seem to use much battery in whole. At least nothing that explains a loss of 70% in 5 seconds.
I posted a log here, thats the best thing to see i guess, but i cannot really read it well :-(
Anyway, your help is appreciated

I think the problem is caused by the battery stat file. Avoiding the techinical causes you should only charge the phone untill 100% and using battery calibration (you can donwload it for free from market) calibrate the battery! Hope to be helpful ^_*

Hello !
I just bought my P880 two days ago and everything is great except one thing: battery drain. It is not occouring in background when phone is in Deep sleep, it doesn't lose charge while it's sleeping, but when I just unlock it/start using it, it just starts draining.
I have rooted it, and unrooted using SuperSU. The thing is I haven't experienced that kind of drain yesterday, it was working fine except drain caused by bad signal (badly inserted SIM).
Usage by Android System is at 50% over 5 hours, Screen is at 9%. Awake graphs are the same as Screen on graphs- no wakelocks.
I have these apps installed:
Prey Anti Theft
Skype (not running)
Adobe Reader
SoundHound
Disco Light
QR Droid
Sygic (not running)
X-plore
SwiftKey 3 keyboard
WiFi, GPS, Data, everything turned off except mobile signal
Running Internation version with Android 4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4-00001-g0f9182c
Mobile network type is EDGE:2 with mobile signal -70dBm
I'm first time android user and this is my first problem so I tried to include as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance
I see 2 mayor issues, first is the android deft app, it may be running and trying to sync but bcz the data is off it will try to connect foreva.
Also, edge is (in other words) ROAMING and this forces the antenna to use more power to get signal from another provider, it get worst if you have a phone with sim card.

Thanks for pointing that out, but I have disabled every sync and I have set phone to 2G mode only, the reason is that UMTS signal was low and was draining battery even more.
I am only losing sharge when just doing random things on phone, even if that means only adding/removing widgets/apps on main screen with WiFi off.
Then you must try the Deodexed version of v10f, removing the bloatware with the script in the same thread.
The issue may be some lg apps that are running in the background so doing this will have 6 hours in standby time with 100% still, like me (if I turn all radios off ).
I have just woken up, while sleeping (9h) phone was awake for about 50%, no wakelocks but there were 30 alarms from Android/Google maps ans 29 alarms from com.google.android.gsf
Hope this helps.
I may try custom ROMs if nothing else works.
While typing this message I have lost 7%.
Similar state here as the OP. Got the phone two days ago.
All is good, it rooted OK, Directory Bind works fine, phone runs like hell (about 10 times faster than my old Galaxy S) BUT it drains battery like a genuine power guzzler.
Ok I get that according to the performance you get, it comes with an accordingly high power draw, so I don't ***** about it, I just want to know if this is normal. I mean I played 2 hours and 15 minutes of Sprinkle and the battery died, starting from a full charge. Screen was set at 50%.
GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, no 3G mobile network and screen is at 50% brightness as I said. There's an NFC icon on the notification bar next to the battery icon, which I am not sure if it should be there.
Here are a couple of shots from the battery section of the phone and from Battery monitor widget if these help.

Please note that as the OP said, the phone consumes nearly nothing when idling. Firmware is 10f.
PS I am not trying to hijack the OP's thread. I just noticed the same behavior and I'd like some help on the same matter, as well as to contribute in whatever way I can. If the OP is offended somehow, I will gladly start a new thread.
@psolord No, not offended at all. I'm glad you posted actually.
My phone has encountered 20 more Alarms, wake ups since I left it standing:
com.google.android.apps.maps Wakeups: 50
com.google.android.gsf Wakeups: 45
You can see pictures below, the drop on the second picture happened when I was writing me previous post from P880.
- I am also rooted again (after factory restore)
- I have reenabled 3G networks but the signal is only at about 50%.
Any additional info please ?
Ok buddy, so we can keep discussing it here together.
For the matter at hand, I see the same behavior, when I unlock the screen, it's like I have opened a whole in the battery.
It dropped from 85% to 65% just from downloading a new map (500MB, 20min download on a slow wifi) from Sygic downloader. I mean this can't be right, right?
I also checked cpu spy and it reports the system 75% at deep idle, 15% at 51Mhz and the rest are 0% to 1% up to 1500Mhz. So if the cpu has so little operation, what on earth is draining the battery?
I wonder if we could be looking at a bad battery batch.
Is there an app that reports exactly what activity consumes power and how much?
Indeed, the hole in the battery.
I even restored to factory from recovery mode since I screwed up the root, so it was just stock, but guess what, nothing has changed :crying:
I really hope this can get fixed, else I'll get a replacement.
I hope someone from this forum with more experience can help :/
I think I am onto something.
Can you please check how is the phone doing if you disable everything under location and services?

I am going to try this, I am also talking to LG Support right now. WIll let you know when I get more information.
I disabled everything, and I didn't see pretty much any improvement. LG Support suggested me to return the phone.
Pretty much draining the battery atm so I can charge it back to 100% and use something like Battery Calibration. Maybe it can change something.
Yeah indeed I was onto nothing. Nothing changed for me either.
Playing 30mins of a 720P resulted my battery dropping from 62% to 50%. I also used the gps for the first time with Sygic (Jesus even the GPS is lightning fast) and the battery went from 50% to 30% for a 20 minute ride. It seems that my phone cannot give me more than 2 hours of use. That's just silly.
BTW do you or anybody, know of an app that can show battery usage per app?

Stock application ?
Also you can use Better Battery Stats to see if there are any wakelocks or anything is waking up the phone etc.
What is happening right now is rather strange, I disabled screen turning off (trying to drain battery to 1%/2%) looking at stock battery app, it seems to be stuck at 21% and it's not changing.
The stock application does not do so much analysis, but the batterystats you used above seems more like it.
I am getting panicked and I miss some stuff haha. Ok lets cool.
It makes me sad that we don't get any input from the community. Something like "yeah this is normal, live with it" or "your phone is faulty, take it back to the shop for a replacement" or something.
Agreed, ANY, ANY kind of input would be appreciated, but I guess we are getting none.
I am going to fully charge it today, do some stuff and report back tommorow. Also anyone, please do post any suggestion you may have.

Maybe this has to do something with the built in power saver. Maybe it kicks in when the battery drops to the 20s and stops whatever is draining it.
I am thinking trying some battery saver to see if it does the same thing but from the beginning of the full charge.

Actually I have disabled it when it asked me if it should turn on. So I guess nothing to do with that.
I am going to backup now, fully unroot and somehow get it to pure stock. Than I'm probably going to exchange the phone in case battery life doesn't change.
Hi, I bought this phone a month ago, I bought that actually looked like a very good phone, analyze their characteristics, not only its design, and discard the possibility of buying the Samsung S3 Mini, I think it was a mistake :crying:
This Xperia SP is really a headache, the first thing I knew I was bad at was his poor WiFi, later learned of the problem of the screen, which to place the phone on a flat surface the touch becomes useless (I is how to fix it), and now the battery, then I have seen pictures that the battery will last up to 2 days, I was never happened in 14 hours, or when you use it the first time, now active or inactive so I Sstamina gives up to 7 hours, which sucks .
Originally came with compiling 12.0.A.1.257 and decided to upgrade to the 12.0.A.2.245 to see if suddenly improved, big mistake, the 2245 presents many problems in the stability of the OS, the screen flashes when using certain applications , Stamina mode is "Arrangement" a bit, as the cell I last up to 12 hours, but it's all over.
In conclusion I am determined to get rid of this phone, and all who ask for me, I gonna Scream, NEVER BUY THAT MTF CELL, which by the way is a bit expensive for the problems to come.
Sorry, my english is not very good :silly:

Heres mine and I have 41% battery.
I've heard about problems with wifi and touch but never had either of them, try and exchange your phone if its getting that bad.

To be honest with you- the WiFi does suck on the sp, even though there are many fixes none of which will work 100% . Ive come across alot of problems with my sp also, keyboard wont pop up, walkman crashes when using certain apps. But on the plus note there is deffo an upside to the sp compared to most other mid range smart phones out there.
I have smashed my screen on my sp and have no warrenty- so im switching over to a s3 mini, simply because a new white digitiser for my phone would cost me £135.

how many apps are you running?
That standby time seems ridiculous...
Heres mine and I have 41% battery.
I've heard about problems with wifi and touch but never had either of them, try and exchange your phone if its getting that bad.

My battery has never lasted so long, here I leave the applications that I'm running and my phone settings only asset I have WiFi, my cell phone battery only lasts if I have off jj :crying:
If I can help greatly appreciate it, because the phone I like, but do not want to have to charge it every 7 hours.
Question: If i reset my phone, can it fix?
i think may be uninstall antivirus app.
if it is not work
please backup your file and factory reset

Whats your screen on time? Also ho do you use your phone? Heavy gaming or light texting only?
Things will always matter when you want to compare battery life. So give us more details. Install Wakelock detector or BetterBatteryStats to know what is eating up the battery on your phone and then work on eliminating the factor. Cheers man!

I do not play much, texting, only play when I'm charging the phone, cut the rope and Diamon Dash.
In the images shows that the battery is low 2% in 29 minutes
Ok, i do it, the result from battery stats plus.
After it, I think do a factory reset, to see how it behaves.

I think you should. Your Android OS is using too much battery. Hit on it and check which process is using the maximum battery.
Once you've charged your battery to 100%, go to Apps, All, and look for eco mode controller. Click on force stop and after 5 seconds or so, clear data. Then reboot your phone and use it normally. Check out my best battery life so far (attached images)

Battery life not quite as good as I hoped
The battery life on my xperia SP is not bad but it is no better than my previous xperia neo which had only a 1500mah battery versus 2370mah.
Many reviewers have commented that they can get through 2 days.
I can only make 1 and a bit. The key problem appears to be the screen. I can use the screen for about 4 hours/day before I'm out of juice, some reviewers claim 7 hours. Thats a big difference. Using it outside of the time is always going to be worse but screen on time is a bit disappointing for me. Stamina with screen off seems reasonable but again not outstanding. I lost 13% between the morning and lunchtime without doing anything but 15 minute syncing, I use a battery saver, not stamina mode as I don't want to shut down all my apps and have no data at all when screen is off.
Phone is only 2 weeks old, can I recalibrate the battery? Seems to stay on 1% for a while too. On the contrary, my wifi reception is really good. Better than any other phone I've had.

I had a Pro, the QWERTY variant of the Neo. The SP has the same battery life for me, which is about 7 to 10 hours

Yes you can, but you need to root your phone. Some people say its useless to do It, but you can try.
Got a bug less device

Battery life on standby is perfectly good for me – a few people have said that the estimate Stamina mode gives is based on recent usage. So if you haven’t had the device very long of have just had a big session on your phone the estimate might not be very accurate.
Most mornings the battery is 0, 1 or 2% down on the reading before I went to sleep…deep sleep is being enforced.
However, I don’t think the battery consumption with screen on is anything special – not bad, not exceptional.
It’s a really good phone IMO. I admit WiFi seems badly implemented and you shouldn’t need the tweak which seems to fix it for most rooted users (all manufacturers seem to still release phones with Wifi problems). But with this tweak in place I get better wifi than my old xperia (it had a custom kernel that gave it awesome range) and better than my wife’s Samsung S2. There’s a part of my house where we couldn’t get any signal for my old phone or laptops – amazingly the SP can connect!

My C5303 drained battery like hell, with less than 5 minutes on screen time, it drained 2% per hour.
bluetooth, nfc, wifi, data disabled( sim card does not have data), mobile network wcdma or gsm only
stock .245 generic RU rom rooted with bbs installed,
top of the list wakelock : superstamina xssm (nobody in this forum can fix it)
battery drains : cell standby and phone idle
already factory reset over 5 times, nothing works
is it a rom problem? app problem? simcard problem or battery calibrating problem?
really need some advice here, had been stuck with this ****ty battery life for 2 motnhs

I think that is a problem in the OS of the SP, as put or dimly lit screen this will still consume battery as much lighting.
In my case the problem was corrected a bit, I deleted widgets, some app that did not use, the antivirus was always eating, I set to use 3G only when I need it, otherwise I'm on 2g most of the time, not game unless it is connected to the charger, WiFi and GPS only when I need them, listen to music and write a little and this we see is the result, compared to what it was prior is something a little encouragement ...(Attached)
But, why have a midrange phone if you will not be able to use to stop because two hours is dead? the Sony need to fix that big waste of battery.
I will continue to see what happens, disconcerted me the Android OS consumes much battery 45% to 52% long
Please, helpme whit this, why there are applications that I am using, or have not opened, but are consuming battery?, How do I prevent them from running without my wants? any program to control the apps that connect to the internet?

Check which processes in Android OS is running the most. Install Wakelock Detector and that should help you get there
Also, hibernate apps that are running in background. Use Greenify for the same.

In the images posted I can see Mcafee and Lookout. I would suggest removing Mcafee as I have found it to be a resource hog, my opinion though. Either way u need to get rid of one of them.
In another image I noticed wifi is always on. Go to Settings -> Wifi -> menu, advanced -> Keep wifi on only when connected to charger one. That will reduce wifi wake usage.
get Juicedefenderfrom HERE OR
Snapdragon BatteryGuru from Here
If using Juice defender, set to balanced/aggressive.
If using Viber, go into viber -> more options -> settings -> wifi sleep policy -> change to use device settings not always on.
Zero the battery and do a full charge. Post updated screens when battery is under 30% ( Please include the MISC Usage screen from BBS). I expect it will be 2 days before we see those screens.
If you can even post a screen of the Misc usage from BBS just now and we`ll compare it with the next one soon.
I use JD (gives me a 1.5x boost to battery) with Stamina Mode on (no low battery or wifi). I charge my phone on an average once in 2 days, medium.
I don't have any of those problems, the battery lasts very long, don't have any flat-surface problems, wifi catches at full signal on both my houses, never had "screen flashes", only some crashes in the youtube app.
Must be a PEBCAK error
Hi Guys,
Just bought a 8.0 version. So far I have few issues with it
1, The device must be charged with official samsung adapter which came with it or unless it only activates slow charge. I have few hi-power USB adaptors (2A) lying around of iPad which quickly charges iPhone and iPad within an hour or 2, I connected the tab with it but it gave the error message that it's not official samsung adapter and activated the slow charge which is painfully slow. It charges 10 % in 1 hour, so require to plug in 12 hours to charge it full.
2, I charged it full and left it for 1 day, didn't open it. On the second day, I opened it to find out the battery left only 5 % from 100 % , it drained 95 % in just a day or more doing nothing !!!
3, After that, last night I disabled notifications for all apps, disabled google account auto sync, disabled a lot of apps which I thought might be draining the battery. I left it at 80 % . This morning I woke up to find out it was left 64 % i.e. even after all notifications and sync disabled, it still sucked 14 % sitting idle in just 7 hours time. That is, still sucking 2 % an hour sitting idle. I find it pretty amazing, since even my iPhone with all it's notifications etc, the battery doesn't drop more than 1 or 2 % whole night. Comparing with 2 % an hour for this tab with all notifications disabled !!!
Is the system this bad in battery management? or is it normal for android devices?
Try setting your WiFi to be off when screen off. Menu in WiFi settings will take you to where to disable this.
I think there is something else going on. Did you check in settings to see what is using battery? In a normal day of use, I go through about 5%/hour with the biggest drain being from the screen, as it should be.
Regarding your charger issues, I haven't figured out the secret, but I have been successfully charging my S2 using a non-trivial charger and not slow charging. I have also added a magnet charge adapter and get full-sized charging with the required cable conn3cted to the non-trivial charger.

I'm hoping you find a solution to this. I've just got an 8.0 LTE and it's draining juice like crazy. I've tried all you've tried without much success.
I'm gutted tbh, as finally, finally, Samsung makes an 8.0" tablet with 4:3 aspect and also a tab that doesn't lag! But something just right. My Note 10.1 (2014) last for days and days without a charge. This thing lasts a day to a day and a half which is so frustrating as this is the tablet I've been waiting for for years.
Draining is almost definitely not normal. A tablet should not drain that quickly, especially because even my 2 year old LG G Pad can last a month on a charge. Try going into settings -> battery -> battery usage and see what's eating up that battery. if it reports system, try disabling features, or perhaps factory reset and not install anything, leave it and see if it drains normally. if so, slowly reinstall your apps and see which one will cause issues. if not, and drain is still crazy, ask for a replacement or repair.
Regarding charging, it might just be because Samsung is using fast charge on this thing or sth, or it's using a different volt, watt or amperage on its chargers and the new tabs just aren't designed to be used with apple acc. That's unfortunaletly likely a hardware issue though.

This problem is common in Samsung tablets. Re solder the battery connector will fix quick discharge or slow charging.
This is not exactly but the battery connector used most in Samsung tablets

I don't think that's the problem, after fully charge to 100%, I can have my tablet for over 9hrs in standby and still at 100%, with wifi or data turned on, battery does drain faster, I've only disabled apps that I don't use, but I've sure all my cores auto detect whether they are needed or not.
@op
You can use a good quality cable or charger, it should work, a branded one is not mean it's better, I have 1 from china, a few HTC 1Amp ones, and a aukey brand one, that work, you can also use any of those QUALCOMM 2.0 certified chargers, they should work, but don't expect it to support the QUALCOMM 2.0 fast charge.
I also have about 4 other chargers that don't work.
I use Anker 40W 5-port USB charger and the tablet charges without any problems. It also charges fine from external batteries. The only time I saw it complain about "slow charge" mode is when I connected it to an USB port in an older PC.
Did this ever get resolved?
I recently got an 8" S2 LTE version and it's drinking juice maddeningly fast. Around 7% per hour just sitting on my desk in standby.
It can solve within 5 minutes by soldering iron
There's another thread on here that had a suggestion that turned out to solve it.
The issue was with 5Ghz WiFi. I switched to a 2.4Ghz WiFi band and now my battery drain in standby is gone.
I doubt the issue is in the hardware - certainly soldering the connector will do nothing, the pcbs are machine soldered, with a tiny chance of error (definitely not "common"), and the surface area needed for current flow is minuscule so unless youre missing a pin up the house, youre just wasting time and unnecessarily taking apart your device
I have some experience with the android ril and its probably what is casing problems for people on the LTE version - just a bad connection to the cell tower.
Someone mentioned that connecting to 5 ghz wifi will drain battery. The principle is the same - connecting to a low power or intermittent signal will drain battery.
A new radio may help - try a few different ones if its possible, i dont know about their availability.
Also tell me, do you use the same provider for data on your tab as you do on your phone?

You may own one or two Samsung tablets, and fortunately doesn't have battery connector problem but thousands of other users have it and it's a phenomenon of Samsung tablets, not just this model but other models as well. The threat of " Flickering Screen" has more than 40,000 views, other forum: Android Central, it has over 100,00 views, all of them coming from a cracked battery connector. PCBs are machine soldered, but this connector cannot handle the stress and the flexibility of the mainboard weakly secured to the frame.
I have handled over thousands of Samsung tablet per year, so this fact is not a surprise to me.

Actually ive had quite a few sammy tablets, opened most of them up and never seen any give between PCB and mobo components. Maybe ive been lucky with that though, as two of the ones ive owned had other serious problems - the Nexus 10 i got on release day in the states seems to have a processor flaw that has it glitching out when sustaining normal load at max frequency, probably a faulty core, and the Pro 12.2 i got my mom needed speaker replacement within two months of use.
Regarding the number of views... that is not an indicator of anything, i imagine a lot of those were people just browsing, or more amusingly people who were reading the forums because they were looking to get the device in question.
Anyway, imho not very likely. But anyone whos worried can go to their local repair shop and get it cracked open and checked for a few bucks. Wonder if anyone is willing to do that?

One thing I can tell: even professionals don't know how to fix this problem unless they read this forum and others, or are told what to be done.
I have bought some defective tablets claimed by professionals on some internet sites and I have fixed each under 5 minutes, and re sell them to make a profit of $100 each.

It can fix easily by re solder the battery connector.
This is mine after the fixing, play all day and leave it on overnight, then it's still have 42% left. When battery suddenly drops from like 90% to 10%, I can tell right away that the black battery connector is cracked ( soldered to mainboard ) or the white battery connector ( from battery with 6 wires ) is loose.
This one can fix by pushing the opening closer, I see Samsung fix this problem by applying a little silver conductive glue to it.
Recently when removing battery connector, it seems quite hard to take it out. From a closed look, I see they applied a thin silver conductive glue to
fix loose battery connection
As an Tab S1 owner the T800, it takes approx 5 hrs to fully charge the battery with the original charger.
