After updating to EB13 it now takes forever for my battery to charge, it barely lasts 6 hours, and the battery gets hot as can be. I now have actually had my phone tell me it cant charge till it cools off. It never happened on DI18. Also, if im doing something on my phone while its plugged in, the charger wont keep up with the usage.

what kernel is on your phone?
my battery was very erratic too after updating to EB13. I just flashed it a second time with odin, and now my battery lasts longer than it ever has!
I'm not sure if this would help you, but it certainly helped me
FYI: I flashed the ext4 version from the dev page, and it seems to run a lot better after an odin flash.
Stock EB13 kernel.

35% Charged
Mine been charging up to 35% all day, Im a try to let it charge all night see what i get in the morning
It takes 8 hours to charge the battery, where it took around 2 hours befre the update. The phone is also hot as well, where it never was when on DI18
mine also takes quite a while to charge, but lasts quite a while as well..
I like the long lasting part.. the slower charging stinks though. :/
You may need to wipe your battery stats.

That was mostly directed at some of the others in the thread.
If you issue is just that it seems to take too long to charge then wiping stats in CWM (you have to use the one click root - not sure if you can do it in stock recovery) *might* help.
Your issue seems a little different - the phone should NOT run hot like that. Even overclocked to 1.2 mine doesn't get very hot unless I'm really pushing it while it's charging. Have you tried reflashing your phone? Backup everything important and try the Samsung updater tool (it'll wipe everything and start you fresh on EB13).
Only computer available is a mac so reflashing is a no go

You can try a Sprint store if you have one near.

I had similar problems with eb13. Battery went from about half to dead in a minute or two and i kept getting force closes on some apps. Went back to dk28. I was running the genocide kernel.

All my sprints stores say that their software is incompatible to reflash the OS.

I flashed from the Samsung updater and then did a battery test. After a full charge I was able to go 34 hours down to 3%. A lot of that time was in sleep mode for the phone, but I also was running live wallpaper and had GPS on the entire time and WiFi off and on throughout. I'm pretty impressed with the battery chops.

I agree with this. I got 25 hours with moderate use. Facebooking, twittering, uploading pics, even went to the gym and streamed music with Double Twist for an hour. Battery is amazing.
Guess ill have to get hold of a windows pc and reflash with samsung updater

Mine charges fine, but it WILL NOT sleep. Same issue I had in DK28. I have NO idea what could be causing it. I've hardly installed anything, and the only widget I have is the "Battery Life" widget and I've even tried killing it and no change, won't sleep. Don't know what to do other than go back to DI18.
yeah...my phone has been running hot as balls lately. I've never gotten into the 100's before like this...usually just surfing with 3G im in the mid 80s..now I stay in the high 90s going to 100s :/
Batteries that take a long time to charge need to be replaced.

I have not changed anything... I was getting 16+hours and still having between 15 and 20% left but the last two days I'm hardly getting 10 hours! WTF!
What is a good program for seeing what apps are open when they don't need to be? Would that just be like a tast killer?
Just a little rant... sorry. When I complain to my friends they just call me a nerd... I need to vent to people that understand, haha.
does your ranting require a new thread?
Wow people, how on earth do you guys get battery life of 16hrs. I can hardly get 3 hours on my phone...

To the OP check the new apps you've downloaded.

Nope.. I use it moderately. listening to music for maybe an hour brings down my battery levels from 90 to 58% and this thing is draining 1% every 2 mins on standby...
Btw while I was charging my phone and it magically jumped from 8 to 34% in jus 10mins or so(I had switched it off before charging and after few mins of charging, I switched it on to find it on 34%). Is this a factor??
that's ridiculous, that must be an application eating up type battery

jumping percentage means your battery stats is ruined. wipe it, but the battery drain on idle mode isn't about the stats.

If you're charging via USB, you may wish to connect to AC. USB doesn't charge as fast and your phone (apps running, etc) may using power faster than the USB can replenish it.
If you're on AC, turn the phone off and charge it that way. If it continues to decrease this way, there is something seriously weird with your device.
I re-flashed bionix but the battery drain still continues.. Should I change back to toxic darky 9.5 and see how the battery on that thing is working?

it' not normal. I charge my phone after 2 day with SDSL miroslav but when I use Mur4ik's rom, I charged my phone after 1 day.
I often use wifi and music program.
I have the same problem!
Does this mean that my bat is going bad?
i think it comes with the time..
my battery is behaving similar and it just gets reloaded to 98 % sometimes max 90%
the same with my CPU. today i crashed while showing my wonderful 880 mhz and nothing was moving anymore ^^

Battery Drain in Mur4ik's rom.
Well for me with normal use, (some internet, wifi, games, and apps, 10 min max a day for phone and some ****ty network coverage) with Mur4ik's rom i get 1 day of battery.
On the 2.3.7 SwiftDroid 2 RC5 the battery life is pretty good. But I don't use 3G or WiFi that much.
randomly when I play little empire, my phone will suddenly die.then when I turn it on it says I have no battery left. sometimes if I reboot it'll say I have around 20 to 30 percent. this happens even after I tried battery calibration (the app and in cwm) and even if I fully charge my phone. I'm on tdjs Kang with stock kernel on darkside gov

I have to comment cause im having the same problems. But instead playing games, mine will just die. It happen now btw, it was on charge all night woke up and seen that there was no charge on the battery, i unpluged it and now it wont charge and my orange led just flashes when i plug it into a charger. In order to get out of it last time i used a walmart charger. Took out the battery pluged it in, took it out over and over and different ways. I was about to bash it. Well then out of the blue it started to charge again and turn on with absolutly no charge but did show it started to charge again. It only happens with cm7, cause thats only what i use the most. So i dunno whats the deal is im tempted to take it to tmobile store and see if they can give me a replacement battery and to see if its the battery itself. So hell i dont know what the heck its doing but i need it for my job cause im a truck driver and i depend on it to get loads and what not. It doesnt power up,doesnt boot into recovery, but does turn on when i hold the volume button and power button in the vibrate unknown mode and orange led flashes. I know i didnt brick it because ive been in this situation before and works after i did the special pattern to get it working again. The pattern is unknown cause it all depends so dont ask it was a euthastic comment. so hell buddy me and you are in the same boat until then

Edit** ok i managed to get it turned on again, pulled battery,sim,sdcard. Put it on charge then waited a few minutes, then put battery in it and then plugged it back in. It worked, im going to try to post a screenshot of the battery usage. I got to let the battery charge up some, so i can put everything back in it. I dunno it may be related to the emmc chip.

that always happen to me too ... deleting stats isn't usefull ... maybe it's a battery problem ... my battery isn't perfect but it can make about 2 - 2.30 screen on time and a total of 14 hours all sync active ... a newer battery could give me probably some more juice
Yea same result running matrix so I think its the battery
Hopefully.....

using straight aosp 4.2 with any kernel gets me at best, 5 hours of standby time. I noticed this about a month ago and immediately started looking for ways to prolong my battery life. What seems to be working best for me is disabling mobile data when I'm not using it. Just this one setting gives me a boost from 4-5 hours in standby to well over 12 hours of normal use (of course, with the exception of any web service). I have come home from 13 hour shifts and still had 30-40% battery left several times!! However, this only happens if I disable mobile data.
Something needs to be done....and QUICKLY!!! My phone is pretty damn well useless for anything involving internet connectivity unless I'm using wifi
btw, my battery is about 14 months old.
I'm pretty sure the battery drain is from 4.2, when I was running 4.1 I had no issues
