[Q]Fix Display 70% of battery? - Galaxy 3 General

Hello people.
I've just installed JPF on my phone, running really smooth, GPS Fixed, Battery 36 hr+ with normal use.
Fixed gallery using up all battery with SGS tools.
But now i've got that display is using more than 80% of the battery
Any way to fix this? I have it at the lowest brightnest possible.
I've been told that this could be an error with the sensors.
Any advice?
Thanks

That could indeed be an error of the sensor. Could you try using the phone and posting real time battery life? That might help you decide if the display using 80 pc of battery is negligible issue our not

battery worked for 40 hours then dropped from 40% to 5%
How to fix sensors not working??

Battery sudden drop is just a stat problem. Could be a internal calculation math problem. JPF firmware have good battery backup compared to all android phones. What is the sensor issue.

Battery doesn't last longer if i activate data, else battery is fine.
Still looking to fix sensors, display consuming 90% of battery right now

With data activated, i managed to get 12 hours of battery without even turning up the phone display.

Phone battery drains quickly

Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

As of right now I'm just rooted with the update.zip, I did lag fix but unlag fixed shortly after. Didn't have this problem when I was stock battery actually listed a good amount time.
There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.
My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.
What can I do to fix this? I have rooted and installed lag fix from this link
I had the same issue before applying ryanza one click lash fix. My battery now lasts aboutlag 2 days. Which lag fix did you apply ?

I know this doesn't help... but my phone is stock and with normal battery management practices I'm not having any real problems... However, I'm really used to my blackberry which could be left on forever without using any battery at all.

Yea compared to my last two smartphones, the vibrant battery life is no worse. It's definitely better than the n900. But no smart phone's battery life has compared to my blackberry's I used to use.

Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.
Vibe the XDApp
I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

LG GT540 battery drain very fast

I have LG GT540 with android 2.3.4 cyanogen and the battery is just getting drain to fast ( its new battery) .when i go to battery use i saids that android system use 99-100% of battery waht its not normal ( my friend has about 7-8% use) and she last for 1-1.5 hours with normal work ,in idle about 4 hours till battery drops dead. Phone is getting to hot , i tryed to put others 2.3.7 and its same again what sholud i do.
solution i tryed: wipe battery stats -didnt help
going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 -didn help
PM me to see pic cuz i am new here so i cant post outside links at the moment.
Did you wipe data when updating to 2.3.7? If not, try it (maybe also without restoring stuff from backup, if wiping+restore does not help)
yes i always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache so tahts not issue,can i format SD card is she a problem maybe?
yeah same for me i am also using a rather new battery
The battery level stays on some percentages longer than others.

First of all swiftdroids battery is only supposed to last 1 day.. so use a differnet rom. Secondly check that ur CPU is on ondemand not performance .. cause sometimes u get the rom like that.

what worked for me
Hi
I wanted to thank for Zoe Rom on its thread, but i cant write on developer's threads yet (altough i clicked thanks button there).
Im glad i finally got rid of my memory hogging default rom and now i have a properly working phone again!
Also i wanted to reply there (to some people also complaining about battery endurance on GT540 on Zoe Rom) how i fixed my battery main problem.
Pic of current battery drain:
http://postimage.org/image/d8o8uusd7/
As you can see i am aproximatelly at 50% battery after 1day and 11h of not charging.
I had 2 problems:
1- Battery lasted aproximatelly 5 hours on standby (and i mean i wouldnt even touch the phone and the battery was gonne after that time)
2- During intense battery drain usage, the battery was reporting to have less energy than what it actually has.
1st problem solved by simply turning off the wireless after im done with using it. No idea how could that be taking away so much energy, but it was. Somewhere during the period i was using my default rom i got used to have wireless always on, and my battery on the later times was going away faster than normal (i also like to listen to music on the phone). At the time i didnt correlate the 2 things, and i just put in my head that it probably was the battery dieing on me. It wasnt! The wireless (i suppose because of the Sync function also being on) has been draining my battery like mad between charges.
2nd problem persists. As you can see on the pic, those 2 spikes down correspond 2 diferent aproximatelly 1 GB file wireless transfers with Wifi File Browser app. This transfers (PC->Phone) make the phone CPU have to unzip the two 1GB files to the SD, so they are very CPU and SD card read/write intensive (i can force this battery drops with other instense battery use like playing a 3D game for example). The thing is if during that temporarly drop on the battery level measurement, the level hits 5%, the phone will shutdown. But to be honest, this problem is minor comparing to the 1st one.
There is one other minor problem with my battery, wich is the reading being inconsistent (drops 10%, then gains 15% then drops 5% again etc), but is this a problem at all?
I read a post of a guy that had made extensive testing to his battery cycles, providing loads of graph of battery levels (cant find link) . I didnt read through all of it, but i remember the guy saying something in the end like "Dont be too paranoid with your battery levels, as they arent accurate. Instead use your phone normally and you will gain an idea of how long will it last with certain types of usage"
By the way, he also said for people to just charge their battery whenever they could/wanted as it has no negative impact on battery life. I also read a bit of a paper on lithium-ion batteries stating the same, so no more forcing full-discharges for me!
One last thing! Deleting the batterystats file is as simple as disconnecting your phone from the charger.Why? because that file serves solely the purpose of suplying the UI with info of the battery drain usage on the current battery cycle.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And you can confirm this if you unplug your phone while looking at yout battery stats.
I hope this helps
PS: pls notice that it could have been not the wireless itself that causes the battery drain, but some service using the wireless. Finding this would require more extensive testing.

Update
Hello again
I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.
Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.
I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol
With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.
I've have had similar problems with the battery on my GT540 with all cyanogenmods - 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2. There were no such problems with original 2.1 I think it is the price for the newer versions, I can live with that, I don't have to buy new phone

Extreme Battery Level Drop After Reboot, Increases During Use

The topic pretty much explains it. I've been using different modified stock roms and now I'm on the latest nightly of CM7, and I keep having this issue. After a reboot at around 50%, the battery drops to 15%. The weird part is that while I continue to use the phone, it slowly rises back up to sometimes 30% and then starts going back down. I've always cleared battery stats when flashing and calibrated (which I believe is unnecessary), but I don't know if this is a problem with the battery, the phone, or if anyone else is having the same issue?
Attached is a screenshot of battery usage. You can see I never actually charged the phone.

anyway guys, you need to recalibrate your battery, its not being read accuracy.
download BatteryCalibration from the market, charge your phone till 100% (not just 100% but when it beeps, that its truely at 100%), then use BatteryCalibration to calibrate your battery, and then drain it to 0.. (crank full brightness, turn on LED flashlight, blast internet radio, whatever makes it drain faster to get this part overwith), then recharge it to max.
so;
charge to full 100%
while still plugged in, run BatteryCalibration
discharge to 0%
recharge to 100%
battery successfully calibrated, you will now have an accurate reading
I had exactly the same issue on 3 different custom roms....finally resolved by going bck to stock rom

This thing only happens on CM7 for me. It had 40% before reboot and like 15% after. However mine only increased to about 17% then started dropping as usual. This never happened on any stock ROMs I've tried(stock, not themed/modded stock).

did you
did you rsolve the problem ? how? I have the same problem and I tried more stock roms ... I don't know what tot do ....
Its nothing to do with calibration etc, its just how the fuel gauge chip works, it learns and more accurately reports usage over time. For example, if you reboot and (I can't remember the actual voltages for the S2) you have 1200mV, the chip goes, "ah, that is 15% battery." Then as you use it more, it relearns its settings and goes "aaah, my mistake 1200mV is really 30% battery. I'll display that instead."
Its been covered frequently that "calibrating" the battery of the S2 in any way but actually using it, is next to useless.

[Q] battery callibration

I installed Batery Callibration in my Galaxy Note .. Love this app...... Increase so much my life battery
One question: How often I Calibrate My Battery??
1. After flash or update ROM.
2. When replace or pull out & put in battery for whatever reasons.
3. I do calibration about once a week.
I always drain battery till it is 1% before plug in charger after hit the calibration button.
Battery time is acceptable to me...15+ hrs with normal use (stock ICS rooted).
Thank you very much for the tips. I Have Rocket Room V07 and Speedmod kernel 3.3. With 3g and Wifi turn on all day, my battery last 24 hs.....Very good for me

Never. That app does NOTHING. You have fallen victim to the placebo effect.
Wiping battery stats does NOTHING on any Android device other than change the behavior of Settings->Battery. It does nothing with regards to fuel gauge calibration.
The fuel gauge chipset in our device does not require calibration and calibration techniques cannot be applied to it. (With one exception - resetting it after a reboot on low battery can have a temporary positive effect - but you can just wait a few hours for it to converge.)

Battery Calibration, try following the procedure stated therein and verify by yourself if it works.
At least you have nothing to lose but very poor battery performance.
You guys should have ever heard of an alternative battery product named MUGEN that selling original and extra sized batteries world wide including range of Galaxy batteries. They also supply a battery calibration app on Play Store regardless phone models but it's for rooted phone only. If this app does nothing they wouldn't bother wasting their time developing it.
Another thing is to investigate what apps or services prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, also try freezing apps or services you aren't using.
Those are my tricks for having battery performance improved.

Hi can i have the link for the calibration app ???
Search battery calibration on google play...its free
Your phone had to be root to use battery calibration
i dont trust any battery callibration app or battery power saving app
i only used cpu spy and betterbatterystats
my point is check ur device, does it goes to deepsleep everytime screen turned off. if it doesnt check using bbs what apps making ur device turned on/wake ur device. im very satisfied with this method. 1x full charge for 24 hr for my daily use and only 24 % battery drained for 24 hr if u didnt use ur device at all(standby)

Poor Battery Life

I have the European version of the phone amd seem to suffer from poor batery life. The phone can barely be used 3 hours continously. I didn't fully charge the battery the first time so is this the cause? If yes how do I fix it? Also I have everything like Wi-fi etc off so that's not the cause.

if you're comfortable rooting/flashing custom roms onto your phone I'd suggest trying that. I get twice as much battery life out of my phone with the omega 28 rom
Give betterbatterystats a go..(free to xda members) and you'll be able to determine what programs etc are draining your battery.
Your screen time of 3 hours mind you is not too far off with what you can pull off with this device.. (4 hours tends to be a good number).. also taking into account the fact the device wasn't fully charged.

I`m on stock rom. I get more than 30 hours on one charge, internet, video, email normal use. Going through a whole day is absolutely no problem.
There must be a crappy app you`ve installed that is draining your battery. You will have to find out which one it is.
Are you playing games? They will drain your battery more quickly. Also, see if any apps are running in the background. After that, un-tick the location services in the settings menu. Change to a static wallpaper. Don't set very low sync times and turn your wifi off when you're not using it.
If you're on stock, you should have around 4 hours of screen time on.
I just want to confirm whether not charging the battery first has any effect on the battery life.

Then why does it say in the manual that you must charge the battery the first time?

Bcos there's a good chance the battery may have fully discharged between the time it's packaged and when it gets to the end user, which in some cases may take months or even over a year.

I haven't installed any app except the stock apps so I don't get why my battery drains so fast.

I will put this in 3 situations:
>>> Wifi or 3g and screen on continuously and web browsing = 9h
>>> Intermitent use with internet on all the time but sleeping when screen off = 24h stand by + 6h screen on
>>> Just on stand by with screen off: 1)With internet on 2% drain \ hour 2)With all internet off = 0,5% drain \ hour ...
There is many variance acording to screen brightness and economy mode on and off, but everybody can get a good fast system and average screen bright with the above result !!!
get juice defender..it is awesome!!

Let me guess... your battery is consumed by cell standby or gpsd process?

I have the European version of the phone amd seem to suffer from poor batery life. The phone can barely be used 3 hours continously. I didn't fully charge the battery the first time so is this the cause? If yes how do I fix it? Also I have everything like Wi-fi etc off so that's not the cause.

It depends on what are you comparing it with? Now if you never had a android phone before then your not going to like battery life on them
