SPV M3100 battery status

Hello,
Sir like many others, I too have a battery problem with my SPV M3100
The battery always shows it's status in the 10s. Which means like..
90%, 80%, 70%, ...
It never shows up something else then tens which is not really good.
The second problem. If the battery is 100% charged, I open WIFI in few seconds it will drain to 90% and 80% and then 70%.. It drains really very fast. I know that WIFI eats up the battery but not like 10% in 1 minute???
Third problem, If I keep my mobile 100% battery on stand by mode and I don't get a call. After 24 hours I go and see it will show and battery left 100%. But if I go and do a small task in mobile, it will drain like 30% in once. That is quite ammazing I have never played on music so can't say how much it drains while playing music on hands free.
Overall on standby mode, the battery lasts like 3 to 4 days. But if you use it for even a small thing, it drains really fast and battery was dead.
Please help, I think this all is not normal, Radio version can be the reason of this???
Thank you very much
Faisal
i have too this problem, if you find any way for solve this plz help me
I have the same problem..
Even when I go online with GPRS/3G/UMTS/HSDPA..
Does the problem come from the battery?
My battery has UTSTARCOM text on the battery. How about you?
EDIT : You need to flash a ROM with a 1% increment fix, it's because the stock/official ROM has 10% increment battery meter, I don't know why.. And my battery drains very fast because I have over-charging it.. I leave my Hermes charging overnight when I'm sleeping, and it leads to over-charging.. You need to unplug the charging cable when the charging complete ASAP..
I have the same problem on my Spv m3100. The power meter deplete at 10% increments. Unlike my HTC TyTyn 2 - Kaiser this shows actual units.

Strange battery drain if >50%

Hi there,
i know there are a lot of threads with complains about the battery drain, but i have a strange issue. If the battery is over 50% and i let the phone on standby for 7 hours, it loses 3-5% (thats very good). When it is under 50% it seems to drain empty over 7 hours. Same place, same settings, good network coverage, internet is off (and GSM only). Thats sometimes unpredictable, it sometimes just loses the power comlpetly, but ONLY when battery is under 50%!
I have made the basic trwaks from the pinned "hints&tips" thread" and also installed duttys taskmanager and tsowens taskbar. Nothing else is running in the background. Help me please
Edit: in thread title it should be "<50%", my mistake

[Q] how to enlarge the battery life

i've seen in some posts that the hd2 battery could take up to 3 days and loose anly 2% - 5% during the night ... well for me it's impossible ... my phone at standby eats 5% per hour .... i have 2 battery and thy drain the same ...i want to know if it's similar for everybody or just me ... and if there's any application or setting to make the battery life longer .

turn off bluetooth, wifi and data to conserve battery life
download currentwidget and see what the draw is on your battery when it is on standby
If you are on a Gingerbread build like I am, you may want to uncheck the Data Enabled box found under Settings/Mobile & Wireless Settings. I found just by unchecking this on the Pongster CM7 build I am on, it stopped the frequent battery spikes I was experiencing. Also, like the other poster said, turn off all active sync, WiFi, GPS Bluetooth, etc. if your build doesn't do already. Use Current Widget found on the Market to determine stand by battery drain. After I unchecked the Data Enabled box, I went from an overnight drain of 20-25% down to 3-4%. On the Froyo build looking at my wife's Android phone, you would uncheck Enable Always-On Mobile box. Hope this helps your situation.
..must be any third party app. My drainage is 2% in flightmode every night. Already tried to find out which app cause your drainage?...also your standby drainage is a bit high. Im losing 1mah per hour or less with data on.

A steady 1mA or less is virtually impossible with the HD2...let alone any phone.
But as a rule of thumb, Android should drain 2-9mA when in standby, it just varies by build, location, what you have installed, signal quality, etc.
Where I live, I have full signal but only Edge and I have data, bluetooth, gps, and auto sync on and I drain on average 6mA when in standby.
You either have Wifi on (it causes weird drain issues), bad signal or an app that is eating your battery.
of course i disable everything .....so if i go to setting/about phone/battery use may i see all what drain my battery or i have to get an application that can give exact informations ...
i installed the current widget and in the classic apprearence i see 204 mA and in the clear text apprence i see 204 mA with 89% in the battery. is it normal?

let your screen off for 2 minutes and then check your consumption with current widget(the widget should refresh the value every minute by default)
..so you can be sure that teh shown value is teh standyby value.
The standby value should be between 2-5ma.
When your screen is on it should drain between ~100 - ~300ma depending on your screen brightness.
i did wait for 2 mn and here's what hapend:
at 10:38. 59 mA
at 10:40. 58 mA
at 10:41. 354 mA
the battery went from 98% to 90% with 10 mn in 3G in about 30 mn
if u undestand please tell me

Thats a big too much
Did you already checked the build in battery usage tool?
settings->about phone->battery usage?
What app has got the highest consumption?

Maybe a little more information about what ROM you are using. There are quite a few experimental ones out there. I'm using CMYLXGO's Bluetopia usually, but I like to try different ones all the time. My battery is usually pretty good with about two days with medium to light use.
in about phone i see systeme android 57% than standby gsm with 17% ...
i'm using now hyperdroid v12 but i used rafdroid, coredroid, and cm7 and almost the same battery draining ...
i thought it's my battery but when i used another one i saw no diffrence
with heavt use i cant stand a half of day

Are you restoring a backup after trying a new rom?
...try with a clean rom without any apps installed.
Seems that an app prevents your phone to go to standby.
you right ... i did a restore i will try a clean install as u suggested and see the battery drain befor installing any application ...
i want to know if Clk or Magldr or the build version ( 2.3/2.4) have any realation with battery drain ...
i've read that the sense rom and rom based on hd build drain battery faster ... if u used much roms u would see that some roms use battery more than others ... so please i need a personal suggestion from u to use any special rom ( with fm radio if possible...too bad it dosnt work on hyperdroid)
thank u for ur support
no one to answer?

[Q] Crazy Battery Drain

Ive recently installed jokerdroid4.2 and have suffered some crazy battery drain. Pretty much every night if it isnt charging and left on battery, by the time i wake up ~50% of the charge has gone - last night i left it at 97 and this morning it was 53. Is there anything i can do to sort this issue because i never had it on cm7 and actually had great battery life on that. Thanks
fix = uninstall task manager and when charged at 100% (still plugged in to charger) download battery calibration app from market and do battery calibration. after that give the battery few full charge/discharge cycles (charge it to 100% and dont charge until battery dies and phone turns off). do that after flashing any rom. if that doesnt work, its a hardware problem prolly.
hit thanks if i helped u.

How does that help ?
He is saying battery is drained quickly, not that battery values are wrong.
There are apps that shows which software has consumed battery and by how much. Check in one of those list. If you haven't started using any new heavy apps then problem is related to basic functions like Mobile Data Network or WiFi or Cell Tower Signal etc.
Fix for these problems should be listed out by devs, but choose to ignore.

Plus, you dont need additional apps, any "monitoring" app just drains battery. You can check in settings.

[Poll] Battery Drain On Gingerdx

i just wanna know how much people has battery drain on GingerDX (all version)
pick your Polling here
and tell us why your battery drain
Gdx is really sucking my battery,but u can install the supercharger script for longer battery discharge
Sent from my X8 using xda pertamax
wow
a lot people have battery drain
Yesterday, I've observed huge battery drain during the day .. about -15%/hour while doing some basic tasks on the phone (email, IM, inet browsing). Later, I've found out, that auto brightness was set way too high and had to manually decrease the brightness levels. After that, power consumption dropped to about -5-7%/hour while doing the same tasks as before. The display value in battery use menu also dropped from 70% to 30%.
The idle battery drain is OK... about -1%/hour with only GSM network on.
IMHO if your x8 battery is draining too fast, check doixanh's FAQ and then check the brightness levels...
Hi,
I'm afraid that the battery consumption is not related to GingerDX itself but to the additional software and phone usage.
In order to improve battery life in GingerDX do the following:
1. REMOVE or freeze Google Maps (ownhere). Use a different software instead (like maverick pro 1.94, which has google maps enabled and it is not consumig your resources)
2. Also, you may want to remove dsp manager (use the built in equalizer in your favorite music player instead).
3. Disable data MANUALLY. Use the built-in power widget to disable mobile data when you're not using it. Don't use automated 3g disable software because it will drain your battery too.
Your battery should last for 2+ days with normal phone usage. No need to mess with the good working autobrightness, you can leave it on.
FroyoBread:
1d 7h 29m since unplugged - 71% battery left
That's pretty good, isn't it? (Sorry for "offtopic")
hello everyone, i just think that battery callibration and some apps freezed is enought for the battery drain... some apps like gmail, maps, maybe market..
for me the battery drain is normal
i´m using gingerdx V011
Wow Still battery drain use this Doixanh Suggestion
Clear battery stats in xRecovery
Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
Don't set brightness too high
Don't install too many unused apps.
Turn off WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when unused
Turn OFF LED Succession. It's turned of by default, but maybe there are some people still leaving it on.
Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past) for me, even when I stopped listening to music.
Hi. Im using GDX v012 and I don't know if I'm having a battery drain..... in last night battery drop about 17-20% in standby... with all the things off (wifi, data, gps).
So, i went to check the graphs and i noticed that the cell was active during all night....
somebody can tell me why?
and second, maybe the battery drop a little faster because of my signal strength.. but not so fast....
GDX v012, DSPManager manually pushed back into the system and Google Maps + Streetview from the Market (can't live without it); apart from the apps I already had installed.
Depending on the usage of my phone (calls, WiFi, GPS) I get 1-3 days on a charge.
Mind you, I don't use the phone for listening to music or watching video [EDIT] or gaming; that's where my Liberty Tab G100 (mod-flashed into a Iconia A500) performs a whole lot better thanks to the Tegra 250 chipset and faster CPU [/EDIT].
I did a test and found that it consumes my battery is the signal strength that is weak in my location....
when i put my phone in airplane mode during all night, battery has not decreased even 1% ...
i have many apps installed, including maps etc etc
GingerDX v012
Yea, I kinda just upgraded to GingerDX v012, from v010. Somehow I missed v011.
Anyway, I realised that v012 drains my battery a lot more than v010. I wonder why.
Just today, in 3 hours of idle mode, my battery drained from 80% to 60%. That's alot o.o
Any tips on how to reduce this battery drain problem?

loving the ROM, but my poor battery!
This is my first post on this site. doixanh, you are a legend for making this rom available to X8 users. Its smooth and pretty. stock eclair can go in the rubbish with no reservations. When I first discovered just how limited it was I regretted buying my phone. Then I discovered froyobread (which I used for 1 day) before updating to gingerDX v13. Stoked!!!!!!! My battery drains pretty badly though. I have quite a few apps installed and use live wallpaper so I guess I can put up with it. I need my koi carp dammit! lol
My battery was draining 20% to 30% an hour on idle mode with bluetooth, 3g and wifi off. Turned on Airplane mode and now it drains around 2%-4%.
Any ideas on how can i improve the battery life without having to turn on airplane mode?
displays drain my battery 90% omg
when i check what uses battery it indicates 90% on display
my phone only last for about 8 hrs doing nothing just in idle mode
i follow all the instruction but it failed (

I tested it and got no significant results.
The change in values doesn't seem to improve battery life...
Using GingerDX 013, so far no battery drain. Yet i have noticed, that it's the cell standby that uses the most power. Although it drains 1% in 2-4 hours depending on quality of signal in my region. Usually everything's off and i have the supercharger v8 script installed. Also applied the smartass tweaks to save battery time as well. And i kill all unnecessary processes after using apps.
small update: Current uptime is 3d 22h as of this point and i still have 21% battery left. And i've drained over 15% when i was meddling with the supercharger settings. Otherwise regular use - phone calls, messages, some tinkering and wifi usage.
status update: standby was 4d 14hrs to 6% including the 15% drained when trying to set up supercharger. So it is possible it can do 5 days with small use and 6+ without any use at all.
