battery drain with all roms now... any solution? - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
i am suffering battery drains with every ROM i install , average from 100% to 0% in 2 hours even if i left the phone untouched!
first i thought it was a weak battery and i ordered a brand new one but the problem is the same with the new battery
i have it with LineageOS , Resurrection Remix , Slim Roms and even with original stock ROM ,tried different kernels but don't see any difference
i see i am not the only one with battery drain issues but 2 hours standby time is not workable for me because i am not always on a spot where i can charge the phone......
any ideas?
thanks!

Try Battery calibration and Install the last modem/baseband. Test in airplane mode

tried battery calibration and installed the latest baseband problem still the same
gonna test this weekend in airplane mode , need to be online for work so i cant be in airplane mode in weekdays
thanks

Reduced Battery backup ???

Hi All;
I have a Modaco's custom ROM (the latest) installed on my Tattoo and I noticed one issue.
Of course, I am not sure if this has been caused due to my custom rom or otherwise, but has anyone notice the ever reducing battery backup capacity in your tattoo's ??
If I charge my mobile to full capacity in the morning, by the time it is evening, the battery charge level drops to yellow and by late night, I get a warning that 15% battery is remaining.
I am connected to internet all day, either through w-lan, or through edge.
Of course, I tried enabling power save mode for w-lan and quite a few other tricks, all of no avail.
So, has anyone observed the same problem before ? If so, how did you solve it ?
Thanks
Shyam
Its normal for the battery to be drained if you are connected all day. Try turning the WiFi and Mobile Networks off and then confirm how long it lasts. My guess it'd double the time..almost
I have same problem as Shyamk
i've also noticed slightly higher battery drain when using modaco custom rom
"If I charge my mobile to full capacity in the morning, by the time it is evening, the battery charge level drops to yellow and by late night, I get a warning that 15% battery is remaining."
i find this hard to believe! i've fully charged my phone last night. woke up at 7AM and at 4PM pluged in the charger.I'm using stock ROM.
Removed modaco's rom and installef fyodor's rom. Surprise, the battery seems to last longer.
Fully charged in the morning, continuous internet usage all day, and battery is still green ;-)

Using custom modaco ROM here...
No problems at all with battery drain.
Cheers
No battery drain issues too with modaco.
You have to know that when you're on a place which has a poor signal strengh, your phone will use many battery to keep the connexion alive...

[Q] Battery Usage Details for Display

Hello i have searched everywhere and could not find an answer for my question.
I have Galaxy S I9000 16GB with Darkys Latest Rom 9.1 Froyo 2.2.1
My battery does not last a day with normal use of the phone.I have tried every setting that people have suggested(wifi off,data network off..haptic feedback off,screen power saver on...charging until full turned off and using it till phone shuts down and then recharging to full level..)I have found that in Battery usage details Display uses 75% and even when adjusting display settings to lowest 11%Brightness or automatic brightness it does not fall under 75% i saw someone had 45% Display usage in battery info..
Could someone please give me any ideas what to do?Phone is 2 months old its brand new..
the only way to get a low battery usage % is by making other stuff consume a lot of power. that of course doesn't help battery lifetime
Try another rom .
Did you have same battery life on stock rom when new .

Update
Hi guys just to let everyone know battery life has improved dramatically after installing darkys latest rom (9.2 extreme edition) Love it.Battery lasts Almost 3 days with normal usage!!Am VERY Happy!!

[Q] Bad battery drain, new SGS, tried everything

hello,
i've had my SGS for a little over a week now. from day one i noticed battery drain but i thought it was normal for a new device. i flashed darky's 10.1 extreme on the second day i got it because it was very slow and had a lot of bloatware ( i wasnt very patient and i flashed at 95% or 96% battery), the drain was still there. i let it go through a few recharge discharge cycles and no improvement, so i used an app from the market called "batterycalibration" by marosige, no improvement and it the reading would drop to 99% or 98% after taking it off the charger.
i did a little digging and discovered i had the android os bug (was over 50% usage usually) so i used titanium to wipe software update and samsung account, and froze the first, didnt help by much
i then flashed darky's again at 100%, and now it still reads full charge after removing charger and android os bug i gone (reads 4% system and 4% os), but drain was still there. i emptied it to the point it couldnt turn on anymore then charged it from wall charger while turned off to 100% while i slept
i woke up and tested it by playing a game (Blastmonkeys) for like 20 mins and the battery went down to 90%, that was less than 2 hours ago, and now its at 87% and it was completely idle
notes:
my brightness is turned all the way down with no animations but display reads 54%, wifi is usually on when im home but battery stats show 6% wifi so i dont think its a big problem
also, the device was bought locked in france by someone else and im in egypt, so i dont know anything about warranty..
im sorry for the long post but i tried to be as detailed as possible...
hello,when i upgraded my sgs to 2.3.3 i also got battery drain and android os was consuming hell lot of cpu about 70%,..,.,then i flashed 2.3.4 jvp i didnt get any battery drain in that firmware then i upgraded it to 2.3.4 jvq this also donot have ny battery drain..,,.i recommend u to flash it and try it once
will try, but isnt darky only compatible with JVH? what happens if i change to JVQ?

see jvp and jvq are bug fixing firmwares and i didnt use any custom rom ,..,i have stock firmware which i just rooted and didnt use any mod or rom.,,.,.jvp and jvq are stable roms diffrence between the both is that in jvq browser is improved gallery improvement,.,..,etc
As far as I know, the percentage not being 100% after unplugging is normal. To prevent wear on the battery, the phone cuts the charger after reaching 100%, and restarts charging when it reaches ~95%.
I don't think a 3% drop in battery over 2 hours is uncommon. Wifi and data connection will pull a lot of power if on, even in standby.

Normal, this phone drains about 20% battery per hour of screen use, slightly less when watching video.
2-3% drain over 2 hours is also pretty normal if you have wifi/sync on.

I just got my SIM card replaced today. The one I had used before was about 12 years old. So whenever you-re having battery issues, make sure your SIM card is not the cause for it .

[Q] Urgent Help: Battery drain 100% to 10% in just 3-4 hours

Hi guys,
Since last week my Ace battery react very weird, it drains from 100 to 10 in just few hours. Currently im on Meizu ROM. (Previous ROMs: Democracy, MiUi, Nightly)
I have applied many tweaks to save battery life but all went in vain.
Guys please suggest me for this situation.
Thanks,
Swapnil
Change ROM and try..If its still not working, get a new battery
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:
Already changed the ROM from democracy to Meizu, but problem still persist.
Is there any tweak to save my battery apart from the new battery option?
Thanks,
Swapnil
check if something prevents your device from entering deep sleep. (background processes)
then charge your battery, wait till its full (till you get notification in setting, that is isnt charging anymore)
=>
use the hell out of you battery, till completly depleted and phone shuts down.
=>
recharge battery, wait till you get notification that its full => keep charging for some hours. (best way to do this is to charge overnight.)
might work...or not. just try it.
Check whether the battery is swollen or not
If swollen replace it immidiately
This only could be the problem

Is this a new ROM that you just switched to? I had faced a similar issue when I switched to one of the ROMs. Thankfully it wasn't a batter issue. Let your battery reach 100%, go to CWM recovery, in advanced select wipe battery statistics, do not charge the battery till the battery goes to 0 and the phone dies. Check after that. You can check your battery health by dialling *#*#4636#*#* and going into battery information
Hi,
Thanks all of you for your reply, the problem is somewhat resolved.
I have wiped out battery status, installed the batterybinstat apk and its worked for me. Now my battery last for 1 day with wifi on.
Thanks,
