So, this post is 1/2 "rant" and 1/2 "any ideas", but the JI6 Update has been (in my opinion) a very serious letdown.
First of all, I can't be alone in thinking that the late-September update from Samsung would be a full-blown upgrade to Froyo. Obviously it's not. I guess we'll wait awhile before that's released
Secondly, I'm one of those sorry saps that had the update soft-brick my phone. It took me a few days to get around to the ODIN fix (bumping me back to "stock"), but it was still a royal pain.
Thirdly, I've already seen some issues that I didn't have before. For instance, the phone "froze" on me while sitting at home: no screen response. I had to pull the battery and power up again. Nice!
Finally, the battery life is utterly horrible for me -- and I'm not sure why. Currently at 26% battery life (now 8h 4m since unplugged). 34% of the usage is "display", which has been on for 28m total. 22% is cell standby. 15% is phone idle. 10% is voice calls (2m 10s of that). 8% is the Android System. So on and so forth. Basically, I've *hardly* used my phone today, yet the battery isn't going to last thru to the afternoon. I have 6 active applications, with none of them hitting the CPU at all currently. Best of all? The battery icon looks like I'm about 1/2 full, so evidently Samsung couldn't be bothered to make that icon accurate. I know about the battery icon mods out there (I've used 'em), but I figured Samsung would take care of that.
Sorry for the venting, folks. Is anyone else seeing similar stuff? Any ideas on the lame battery life??
Thanks,
Yip
For me Android 2.1 which samsung released in Galaxy S is exactly like Windows Vista ! No matter how many updates you release for it still will make your phone **** !
The only option is to release a full new OS which is Windows 7 = Froyo !
Better than Windows NT = 1.6
Getting your phone bricked isnt the updates fault, there are hundreds of threads out there and reading just one couldve given you signs of warning.
As for your battery life, I am willing to bet your phone screen is full of widgets. Try limiting those, as well as automated syncing. I get excellent battery life that can EASILY last me the whole day (I actually find myself running avatar/pandora at the end of the night just to drain it so I can recharge the battery).
However, I do agree that the inaccurate battery reading should have been fixed a long time ago (or at least in this update) and that froyo should have been included with the release of this phone.
Your cell standy is too high which means you have things constantly using the cell signal to pull data, thus draining your battery. Right now I'm at 72% with 67% display, 14% voice calls, and 9% cell standby. Been unplugged for 3 and a half hours.
Not great but I'm purposely trying to let it die because I'm reconditioning.

Ha! You may just be right on that. Eclair seems like a fairly lame version of Android, if you ask me. Not horrible, but not great.

"Signs of warning" means nothing, my friend. There are folks who didn't even *root* that got soft-bricked with this update. It was (somehow) poorly handled.
As for your widgets comment, well... you would've lost the bet. I use a single screen, no widgets, no weather stuff, bluetooth off, wifi on (but currently turned off), and nothing extraneous. I run Android about as light & frothy as you can get! I prefer speed over just about everything.
Any other thoughts, though? Perhaps I should re-load Autostarts to see if there's anything strange launching at boot time...

Interesting. Any ideas what would be pinging the cell standby so much? I'm in a high-bandwidth area (full bars), so it's not like the phone is struggling to get signal. I use Gmail and Exchange, but my Exchange sync is set to "hourly", rather than push.
Doesn't seem like I'd need to disable my 3G connectivity. I certainly have never had to before.
You should probably reflash the update. JI6 was great on my phone, no hiccups, no lag, perfect GPS.
Also, you should recalibrate your battery after the update and give it a few days to settle down. I always get horrible battery life after flashing a rom, but after a few cycles I'm back up to 24h+.

Honestly, I wouldn't know unless I knew your full setup. What I will say is that I do have a lot of widgets and apps running that pull from the internet but yet my cell standby isn't as high as yours. I haven't reduced any of my sync intervals either. The 3G radio can really drain battery fast, faster than even the screen so that is a problem.
Also, in JI6, they increased the strength of the radio so it drains even more battery. I am running the JI6 modem however.
You should use something like WatchDog to see what is constantly running and using CPU. That could give you an indicator of problem apps.
Well, I'm disabling some startup items: Visual Voicemail, Telenav, and Daily Briefing -- none of which I use. Maybe that'll help. I don't know...
I was really trying to run "stock" this time around -- not so much fooling and tinkering with things, but it doesn't appear to be paying off for me. Frustrating.

Oh wow, yea definitely you need to disable all of those. That's the first thing I do. I actually uninstall Visual Voicemail, Telenav, Amazon MP3 etc. ALL of those things constantly run for some reason even without you opening them once.
You're not alone. My battery life is terrible as well after the update. I'm losing 4% an hour on standby.
That said, my phone is smooth and working great when I do use it.

Again, if you didn't do so after the update, wipe battery stats and then do a few full drain/charge cycles. My battery life always sucks after flashing a new ROM, but it always goes back to normal given time.

after the update for me, my gps is much better, but i actually have more lag then i had stock before....
so I need to either flash a kernel, lag fix, or a rom with at least one of those.... its kind of frustrating to have lag just from opening or closing a simple app, messages, or call... I honestly cant believe a phone with these hardware specs can have lag just from somthing as simple going into the dialer and exiting out...
Battery life seems to have decreased a little but still getting a good 20+ hours. GPS is a little better with use wireless networks. Lag is an issue now though. Didn't have much before a the update. Hopefully its solved in another update or froyo.

So I applied the update on Tuesday through Mini Kies. First experience with this update, it's been great. My phone seems to faster, really I hardly experience any kind of lag or slowdown (and this is in comparison with my stock vibrant running OCLF). Battery life even seems to be better, but that is probably to do with conditioning. So everything has been good except for the fact that my phone has froze on me TWICE today. I'm thinking it's something to do with the apps though. I was in Layar and it was working for a bit when suddenly, it froze, I didn't have to pull the battery I just held the power button down for a good 5-10 seconds and it restarted. The other time was in a game, which kind of concerns me. I suppose I can reinstall both and see how that goes. I'm thinking it has more to do with the apps possibly being corrupted. The first thing I did was install the 2.2 market on my phone and I ran the update all function on like 15 apps that needed updating. Not a good idea imo, the market went crazy and forced closed a couple of times. I'm not entirely sure what is going but it seems like my phone is only freezing in certain apps. I hope it's not just some random freeze that can happen at anytime, that wouldn't be no good.
You guys complaining about battery life... i would Love to have your times. I got 3 hours and 8 minutes today on a fully charged battery.
I have been dabating wether or not to flash a froyo rom and modem. I am currently using ee with phoenix kernel and loving the battery life i get out of it. I have searched the threads but not to much pertaining the the battery life of froyo as there is no kernels yet, most replies to battery life on froyo are a simple its good or i get good battery life. I Wa wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with froyo roms. battery life is the 1st on my list of importance so some with respectable performance would be nice to know so i could make my first froyo jump. Thanks in advance.
I've been on it for a few days now (DK17). I don't use any task manager, or juice defender or anything like that. I have a start-up manager (autoruns) and thats it. I unplugged my phone yesterday at 10:30am and 12 hours later I still had 40-45% remaining after some moderate use... angry birds, asphalt and web browsing mainly.
Hope that helps!
I just flashed 2.2 and used it all day at work for texting, calling, facebook and web browsing and after 9 hours at work i had just under 80% battery life left.
If you are after battery life, then stay on 2.1. I have 4 backup batteries and didn't mind going to 2.2, but I did have a considerable battery life decrease. I find myself changing batteries atleast once a day with these beta 2.2 releases. Recently I haven't noticed it as much, but I think that is due to my getting used to the routine of changing batts every 6-8 hours depending on use.
I really do enjoy the perks of 2.2 though. Flash player with Hulu is awesome, faster phone than 2.1, and the developers are doing a great job of getting some custom themes integrated right now, which makes it not only run great, but look awesome.

I'd stay with 2.1 for now. My phone took a serious performance hit going to 2.2... something is wrong with that kernel. Not optimized yet maybe?

I don't know about you guys, but I am using ACS's Froyo build and my Epic has never had better battery life. By a large margin.
It seems the latest froyo release has been outstanding in terms of battery life. If you're looking for battery efficiency, definitely go with a froyo rom. If you're looking for performance, go with eclair. All in all however, froyo roms are fairly snappy especially considering they are at stock speeds. Can't wait for battery life increases once froyo roms get UV'd.
EDIT: on second thought, I'd have to recommend froyo either way. The improved web browser performance + flash as well as froyo gapps alone make the jump worth it. There's really no 'lag' to speak of on froyo roms... merely, the phone just seems faster on eclair switching between apps and loading/closing them.
I'm using epic experience 2.0(froyo) and my epic has never performed better. Especially gps locks in like 2-3 seconds even without wireless location check marked. Very fast and smooth. Probably just as fast if not faster than 2.1 overclocked to 1.2. For me it seems anyway. Way worth it in my opinion.

Honest to God I'll never understand comments such as these. If battery life is the most important thing then why the hell did you buy the most power hungry phone? You bought it for performance didn't you???? Performance and battery life are polar opposites. Much like horsepower and fuel economy.
Let me save you some suspense... you'll never get more than a day out of this phone. At least not if you actually use the damn thing. If you travel, take a car charger. If you are in the office, have a charger with you. If your job requires you to be away from power then bring an external battery. The phone lasts a normal work day between charges so install 2.2 and enjoy your phone for what it is... a powerhouse!
Btw, the battery life seems pretty good in comparison to stock 2.1.
Or u can buy one of the double or more life batteries for $100 that comes with a modified battery cover to fit the extended battery, then couple it with a kickass kernel (phoenix) and have the best of both worlds

GPS isn't working yet. People have some really ghetto work arounds that work for 1-2 days, but in the end GPS is still bugged as hell.
really think i am gonna hod out for a while....just sayin!
I updated to the current build, using the samsung tool to update when it came out. I've never rooted, so I have always been stock.
Wiped it, and then went through their whole process to install.
My system shows im running 2.2.1, so I know I did it right.
My question is, Froyo is supposed to have improved linpack scores by up to 5x. I used to get like 8 mflops, and now I get around 13. That is by no means 5x more. Is something not working right? Are other people getting this result?
Next, my battery life is horrible, well much worse then before. While running 2.1, I used Zeam launcher, and had Advanced Task killer set to auto kill everytime I turned my screen off (with the exception of a few apps I used). I would traditionally be able to get like 16 hours of battery life, and still have like 30% battery. This is with texting and web browsing during the day. Now, with minimal texting and less use, ive been getting like 12 hours, and im at like 5% battery life. As far as I know, I have it set up just like I did before. Anyone else running into this at all?
(most of my battery is being used by my Display 89% right now, or so my phone says...)
Maybe I am completely offbase on these, but I want to know if anyone else is running into these questions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am fairly new to Andoroid so take it for what it is worth. I am also experiencing a drop off in battery life since Eclair (which was also no great shakes re. battery life, lasted about a day), and did the requisite things necessary to to extend battery life - screen at lowest setting, no automatic sync, wifi/BT/gps off when not in use. In my case, the hog is display (98% ) which I attribute to spending more time with the phone since Froyo update. In my previous phone, a blackberry, it took several days and a few battery pulls for the OS to completely "settle in" - I don't know if that's the case with Android OS.
Five times!
Where did you hear that? People with certain phones saw close to a 2x improvement because of JIT, but JIT isn't optimized for our phones so it doesn't do as much for us. Personally, I think a 50% improvement with only software changes is pretty impressive.
Also, don't use task killers with 2.2. FroYo has better task management than eclair did. And people who have tried using task killers to improve battery life have reported worse battery life than just sticking with the stock memory management.
And you know that since your display is using almost 90% of your battery, the problem isn't a runaway process. It is more likely that the problem is how much time the screen is on. Get spare parts and tell us what percentage of the time since last charge/boot the screen has actually been on to use so much juice.
Battery could be the TWS (time without signal) bug. Go to Settings > About phone > Battery use > Cell standby. See what your time without signal is at. If more than a couple percent then toggle Airplane mode on and off. Also make sure you update your PRL. You may have to do this every time you reboot. My understanding is that it's a common problem with 2.2 and CDMA devices (not just the Epic).

Yeah,
<http: //developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights. html>
Says 2x-5x. I seeing as i'm not even getting 2x, thats kinda a joke.
But something within the update had to have affected the screens battery use. Like I said before, I had fine battery life not 3 days ago, and now it all of a sudden drops. I HIGHLY doubt that that is a hardware issue. I can test, but I have worked with computer hardware for years, so that just doesn't make any sense to me.
Linpack does not execute any code..it does a floating point calculation..wit JIT you get up to 5x efficiency in code execution..does not mean it crunches numbers faster 5x faster..
The phones that are achieving 5x or more speed are doing so through a flaw in linpack...
Hey guys,
Do you notice the performance improvements with the new 2.3.4 update? I have noticed that the screen responsiveness has improved significantly, especially in the browser and in the official Facebook app.
I agree, the screen sensitivity is better while using the browser and when typing on the keyboard. So far that is the only difference that I've noticed. I'll give navigation a whirl this afternoon.
I have just recently updated so have not notice much difference. Maybe I will keep looking at it longer to see.
Don't see any difference here.
Initially I thought I observed some perceptible improvement in scrolling smoothness and touch responsiveness, but at this point I can't honestly say it's not just placebo effect from the update.
For the Nexus One user, the only real "improvement" 'till now is to lose root. I've just received GRJ22 OTA a couple of minutes ago, and i'm going to "hope" that, at least, battery life will show some kind of improvement.
Of course, i also have faith on XDA's guys to find a new way to have root on this one
Battery life has increased by atleast 15% + more responsive.

Battery life still sucks.
There is already a root for it. Just flash the su zip file. Not hard.
My battery battery life is much better now. Currently at 36% after 24 hours. Normally I got around 18 hours.
But maybe my usage has been somewhat lighter because I have been busy.

I never had the battery issue on 2.3.3 and Gingerbread actually brought me a with MUCH better battery life than Froyo, no further change in that on 2.3.4.
After a day on 2.3.4, it seems a tad bit faster than 2.3.3 and the BACK button seems to be working properly again. Previously, it took multiple taps in order for the phone to register a click and I'm pleased it's finally fixed in 2.3.4. Also, the 'black screen' bug seems to have gone but I need further testing. I'm pretty pleased with the update so far.
mine is running definitely smoother - before it would stutter after a few hours of use - I would have to reboot the phone to clear up the glitches
so far so good - I'm happy!
Same here, running stock 2.3.4, the update has fixed the black screen glitches and the 2 second delay issues. I feel its quite stable now, and the battery life has also improved marginally.

7 hours 5 minutes on battery, down to 64%. Minimal use.
At least I should beat my 11 hour time yesterday. Something was boned up yesterday, today it is seeming better.
Really appreciate the feedback regarding battery life. Can anyone put up a bit more info with the N1 setting (wifi sleep policy, screen auto brightness, etc).
I'm still sceptical with this battery improvement after being 'traumatised' with bad battery life upon upgrading to 2.3.3 compared to 2.2.2. 2.3.3 can't even last 1/2 day compared to easily getting full day with Froyo 2.2.2 with my usage pattern.
I'll stick to 2.2.2 at the moment until clearer information available. I'm not going through the hassle of downgrading from Gingerbread to Froyo again.
Thank

Battery life is at 50% after exactly 9hrs with phone idling most of the day except for maybe a combined 20-30mins of web browsing earlier. Doesn't seem great, maybe better than before? I've had Wifi Sleep on Never, although I have been at work with no Wifi to connect to.

50% for 9h of mostly idling? Not that good compared to Froyo 2.2.2. My N1 running Froyo 2.2.2 only consume 20%-25% for 9h.

Hi there folks! So, the galaxy s2, it's an awesome phone, the best i ever had, probably as powerful as a decent netbook. almost impossible to make it lag, the screen is awesome etc... but there's a serious drawback, which is making me want to go back to the iphone4, the battery life. i know, there are bazillions of threads about it, but come on, all people reply to those threads are suggestions, almost placebo like. e.x. "use juice defender", "turn off wifi, gps..", come on, these are not solutions. even with minimal usage, i can barely get a day out of my samsung, with heavy usage, i have to charge it 3 times a day, and considering that it uses a stupid and extremely low current limiter through the chipset (around 500 mili amps?) it takes 3 hours to charge it. for comparison, i have a asus transformer with the keyboard dock, hell, this makes me even more sad with the galaxys, as the transformer, lasts a whole day (at least 14-15hrs) at 70% brightness while gaming.
so, what the problem samsung? I'm using Ninphetamine's kernel with lightening rom (all up to date), i tried other kernels, other roms, but all of them have this issue, even when everything was stock, a day of minimal usage. here are some screens, android os is consuming most of the battery, does the section "android os" also include the kernel battery consumption?
is there a extended version of the android built in battery usage, a more specific one?
Works fine for me. Get a grip and read around. Easily get 3 days with average use.

If you are using ninphetamine and an android 2.3.4 ROM and still having battery issues, it's your problem. You have an app installed that drains battery, this is not a suggestion, this is fact. Do a completely clean install of an original dev rom, remove google latitude if it's included (known to drain battery).
If you aren't making it through atleast a full day of heavy use with that setup, then it's a hardware problem and you should RMA it.

well no, i never wipe my battery, why would i ? battery drainage by android os seems to be consistent. well just in case its a magic trick, i'll try it now
The transformer is a tablet, of course it has space for a huge battery extended by another huge battery in the keyboard. Perhaps you have a faulty battery that's not keeping charge well because I get nearly a whole day on a single charge, med to heavy use. And juice defender is a legitimate program that actually works, its not a placebo. Get a grip and stop blaming legitimate programs, or else no one will take you seriously. Read around, try some different roms, but it might just be a bad battery, if you have warranty, get the battery replaced. It couldn't hurt to try.

If you are using ninphetamine and an android 2.3.4 ROM and still having battery issues, it's your problem. You have an app installed that drains battery, this is not a suggestion, this is fact. Do a completely clean install of an original dev rom, remove google latitude if it's included (known to drain battery).
If you aren't making it through atleast a full day of heavy use with that setup, then it's a hardware problem and you should RMA it.

Well threes your problem. Its not a magic trick, its fact. Do it every time you install a new rom Also, as I said before, it might be a hardware problem.
15 hours off charger, 53% battery left, 1 hr voice calls, 1 hr screen on. Not bad I'd say. I've maintained everything on except bluetooth. I have google talk, and trillian, whatsapp, facebook, tuenti, push email and a couple other things going on in the background like twitter and such, and I couldn't be happier. Well, if it could make me breakfast . I'd say you're doing something wrong. Stock, 2.3.3 not rooted. I'm just a normal geek joe!

Ninphetamine kernel and stock rom or cyanogen. If you still get bad results, rma that $h!t

So far I've used VillainROM with ninphetamine which gave great battery life, and MIUI with the kernel included which is also pretty good (not as good as villainrom with ninphetamine though). As daily ROM I use MIUI though since I love the interface and theming options.

I wouldn't suggest Cyanogen at this time, it works pretty well but it's not a stable or near final release. Also you can't use ninphetamine with Cyanogen without breaking things since ninphetamine was made for stock ROMs.
Battery wipe DOES help. I can say that with confidence cause I have seen the effect.
Completely and utterly sick to ****ing death of whining, moaning 'tards *****ing about battery life. Piss off to iPhone land.
"Can't take this anymore"? Get a frigging life. Buy a new battery. Try not installing a gazillion apps or whatever.

that was epic major sarcasm there (get it?), but whatever, cheers
Like everyone said: Wipe Battery Stats, and/or switch to VillainRom. I dont think Lite'ning produces the best battery life in my experience. I couldnt stand the rom.
And one of the good things about Android phones is that you can buy an extended battery from ebay. They're quite affordable as well
I get crazy battery life on Litening rom. You need to do factory reset before or after installation.
