Battery Probem need suggestion... - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi Every One I dont know from were i will start Ok
I have a Problem of battery its drain soo much even i dont use the mobile Much and its drain so much.
BaseBand is XXJPY
Rom is Unlimited Rom
Please help me what should i do

1. you should use the search function, there are quite good threads concerning battery life
2. you could post in the general or, even better, the Q&A section.
3. you should post your stats, just saying the battery does not last long enough is a bit vague, if you're used to a old nokia anything under 10 days will seem short
4. when did you flash the last time? the battery meter needs some time to be accurate again. to speed up the process let the battery drain under 10% and then charge fully. after 2-3 days you should get accurate results.
5. you can check the battery statistics in the settings an see what drains much energy (besides the display^^), if it's any single app you might wanna look for an alternative. You can also think about apps you have installed that need the internet for updates/communication. such as skype and facebook. Especially skype has not the best reputation.
6. what kernel are you on and has it tweaks (speedmod f.e. access able in recovery) you could enable?
7. Check what modem version you have ("baseband" in the settings -> about phone) and whether it's compatible with your region. a thread with information on that is linked in my signature.
8. To tweak even more you can try apps such as Tasker or juicedefender

Hmmm OK^^
First of all i used Darky rom wth frimware XWJS5 and Kernel (stock+Voodoo-Froyo-GT-I9000-XWJS5)
And now i install Same Firmware its (FROYO.XWJS5 Build Number) And i install Unlimited Rom 8.0
I see in Battery use the (Display take 60%)-(Cell standby take 18% Wifi take 15%)
Baseband version is I9000XXJPY
I install that Rom yesterday and i put in Charge When the battery in 4%
And Still i didnt install any Software like facebook or skype

If we say that we want like nokia Then its just sound like Nice joke But dosent work at all.
Here is only problem that i wont take much longer even i dont use jst power Off

well and how much time has passed since you charged and on what % are you now?
I guess the battery life will get better in a few days by it self as mentioned above

I Charge the mobile in evening at 3 when the mobile clos it self
So now the battery life is 85%

Wow. Unbelievably short battery life!!! Just like every other user here and all smartphones around....

what should do now any idea?

So you charge every day at 3PM at which point you have 85% left? Or you lose 85% over 20h? The later would be a bit much
Unless you watch lots of videos/play a lot on your phone. to make it easier:
a consumption of under 2% per hour on standby (screen off, just laying around) is normal. For reference values look here

now its 82% wthout doing anything

No offense taken.
Its just for a quite a long time now it was known to just about everyone that smartphones are very battery hungry and it is good to get a full day from one charge.
And yet we see still such post about battery. Kind of pisses me off.

Well in the case of osasih we have 85% at 05:25 and 82% at 05:59 which makes 3% in 34 minutes. That equals to 5.3% per hour, so that the phone should last almost 20 hours - that's fine.
However, in my case I see a drain of almost 9% per hour which is far too much IMHO. I logged yesterday when I left work charging until 65%. Whith 9% per hour it should have lasted until midnight, but suddenly it dropped from 33% to 2% in only one hour!

I'm going to assume that you read my post on the first site^^
try rebooting the phone and look whether the problem persists. I know it sounds stupid but I think there's a bug somewhere that eats battery after flashing or randomly after boots. I only experienced signs of it after flashing since I don't really shut down my phone on any other occasions

OK i will try to flash again and see how it takes but rather flashing will break the mobile isn't? lets try wth darky final rom 9.4

How I fixed My Battery drain

Hi!
I've made a n interesting discovery with my battery.
3 weekends i have drained my battery until it shut itselfs off, and then i have charged it up again. And now i realy can live with my HD2 battery life.
When i come home from work i have about 80% and now as i write i have 76% left at 20.44.
Before i would have about 30-40% left at this time, i have never drained my battery before to 0, so when it happens the first time i noticed a slightly improvement. So the next weekend i did the same, and this last weekend i unplugged my charger at 06.00 in the friday morning and did not charge before sunday morning at 10.00. And for me THAT's a BIG/HUGE improvement.
Glad you resolved your issues .
I've found that having any kind of TSR apps installed on the device memory instead of the storage card, has made the battery life livable on my HD2 .

Hey guys!
I really need to try this. my battery life is just so pathetic.I hope it works for me too.
TSR - Terminate and Stay Resident.
Anything like G-Alarm/G-Profile, task managers etc. Any program that stays on or runs in the background I install to the phones memory. I think there is increased battery drain caused by accessing the storage card constantly IMO, so installing stuff like the above has made battery last 48hrs no problems. I too like to do a couple of full drain and recharge cycles a month .
I'm willing to bet that the majority of people who have battery issue probably has like a **** load of apps installed and/or unaware that some of their apps that they installed were running in the background. I've had the t8585 and the newer t9193 and never had any battery issue. The battery will easily last me 50hrs with light-to-moderate usage.
i can only confirm this.
after draining ur battery a couple of times, u need to fully charge it and it lasts longer than the first few days with the HD2
from new my battery life was totally useless. would barely last until 9pm no matter what i did.
two weeks ago my phone decided to forget it's pin lock number so had no choice but to hard reset the phone. since then i get a couple of days out of it and that's with heavy texting and web browsing.
i loved the phone before but battery life drove me up the wall but now i'm getting more life out of it i am now loving the device!
On the first couple of days I had the phone I had <40% by the end of the day but now even though I use my phone alot more I find I get to bedtime with ~50%
charging it unpowered after the drain also helps. (like with USB not the charger)
Most battery "manuals" state that completely draining the battery from time to time followed by full recharge is considered "good exercise" for the batt

Not to hijack the thread, just wondering if you're the talented skin designer that created some of the BEST for Wizbar? I still use them on all my HP PDA's
Few days ago i bought my HD2, and before that i saw problems about battery life on this forum.
When i bought it I drain the battery until he died, then i left him turned off and let him recharge over night (cca 8h). In the morning I turned him on and i used him all day max...and in the end of the day battery died at 23h, again, when he was off I let him chargeing over night (cca 8h). In the morning I turned him on and used him average, at evening, 23h, the battery was on 54%, I went to sleep and in the morning (after 7 hours) the battery was 52%.
2% in 7 hourse is very good...and 50% over day. I'm ok with that

All that does for Lithium-Ion batteries is to reset the "estimated remaining charge" circuit. It wont increase the available battery life it just makes the battery report more accurately as to its remaining charge.

i use energy rom with the gtx, and my battery life is so bad. it hardly reach one day!!
when i sleep at +- 10 p.m, i have 90%
when i get back from school( as most school here don't allow mobile phone), it left at 70/60 %, i get back from school at around 2.00 pm, i don't have any program running, gprs off, running at edge, i use 2.12 radio, how can you guys achieve 2 days?

energy rom's use a lot of power. i didnt knew that untill i flashed the Anastasia rom ( link ) battery life is great and it looks better than energy imo. and it easy runs 2 days for me
I've been very annoyed at the rapid battery loss with Dutty's series of excellent ROMs.
I started from scratch and didn't install any apps to the Storage Card just to be absolutely sure. I even put the phone into Flight Mode.
Tonight I finally nailed the culprit for the huge drain (we're talking 50% in a few hours): it was a 16GB "Memory2Go" SDHC card. With the card removed, I lost just a few percent over a couple of hours.
I also don't get the same drain with an 8GB Sandisk card installed.
Any ideas on how to get the 16GB card to play nicely?

My batter seems to go from 100% to 85% every day in a very quick manner. However, after that, it slows down. Maybe it is just the behavior of this battery (or the software that measures it).
Regardless, even with that, I get 12-14 hours (with moderate usage) before I get the 15% warning.

I noticed that as well, ill keep a close eye on it again today, i do have very heavy use

If you're running a 2.1 ROM:
Don't forget to change the Network Mode to "CDMA Auto (PRL)". Do this by dialing "*#*#4636#*#*", and then pressing Phone Information. Even if it is already set to CDMA Auto (PRL), press it anyway.
Try using a 2.1 with a tweaked memkiller. It'll help to kill off apps that are still running and using battery. I usually get about 2 days of battery out of my phone while using TrevE's MOD.
I think the battery discharge curve that dictates battery level is off in the 85-100% range on these phones.

[Q] Best way to train a brand new battery

there are alot of mixed opinions on how to properly train a brand new battery, I'm talking right out the box 5 mins ago. Some are saying let the new battery drain and then start the charging/discharging and some are saying charge it right out of the box.
Anybody have a definite answer that has worked for them? Battery life has been an issue for me in the past and i wanna get this one right. thanks guys!
I charge it right out the box then do a full discharge and charge it back up again.
I think I'm a moderate / heavy user and I still get quite good battery life. Averaging around 20 hours before I need to charge.

It's Lithium Ion. You don't need to train it.
Android however needs to figure out how long it can run before the battery is dead. Charge it til it's full and run it down. Do that a few times and the OS should get a pretty good idea on where the battery is sitting.

yeah sorry for not being more clear, this is what I meant. not training the battery itself but the system so the battery stats are more precise
Wasn't there a special HTC-approved charging strategy that supposedly improves battery life dramatically? Was that ever debunked as BS?

you are not a heavy user then. I got about 12 hours with 2G only selected for most of the day. switched to HSPA. hspa+ 8megs killlllz my battery. I went from 70% to about 30 within a few hours just sitting in HSPA+ area and browsing and checking emails and facebooking. at about 12:30 that night i was at about 15%

You need to delete batterystats.bin from system if you get inaccurate readings. And yes, lithium ion batteries need no training. That was the older type nickel-whatever...

So, you're basically saying we need to train the OS, not the battery, am I right?
I always gave the battery a full charge and then let it go down to 0 and finally power down before re-charging. After doing that a few times I just did whatever as far as charging goes.
I also used to charge a lot here and there through out the day. I know only charge when it's low and I know I am doing a full charge. Not sure if it makes a difference with battery health, but I feel like I notice a difference.

Lithium Ion batteries should not have complete discharge cycles. Keep it above 40% when you can. Charge it regularly.
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
well I did the Evo trick and... i'm at 12 hours off the charge and 34%... that's with web browsing, texting, gtalk, phone calls, etc.
I think the GSM Auto (PRL) has helped a bit as my "time without a signal" went from 44% to 0%.
There are too many different answers from discharge at half, charge to full then discharge, and not let it discharge below 40%.
I think we should all test and log the different techniques.
So far
44 hours with light use
21 hours with normal use
15 hours with heavy use
and what I did was discharge at half and fully charge, also I dont let it shut down by itself and turn it off at 1 %.

Okay, I read the post and did the evo trick, from my understand it stops your phone from constantly looking for a network.
while I made the changes, am I suppose to have "use only 2G network" check or unchecked? Also my connection changes from E to H all the time with this trick, is that suppose to happen because from my understanding it should stop it from switching networks?
I just tried the GSM Auto (PRL) evo trick.. now to wait and see if this helps at all..
Whoops, I didn't mean to imply that the evo trick was the GSM Auto (PRL) setting... I was talking about this:
To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

The Great Battery Experiment

I have two Arias, one freshly rooted with the rooted stock ROM and one running attn1's FR008 flashed straight from the freshly rooted state. The only additional app installed is BattStatt, so I can easily monitor battery state. One battery is new, with only a few cycles (over about a week) and one battery is older, purchased in August.
Over the next few nights I will be doing an experiment. Both phones will be on, same settings for GPS, WiFi, Data, and Bluetooth. They will only have the displays set on about every hour or so to check battery states. The following night, the test will be done again, with the batteries swapped. I will then run the test again with WiFi on, with intermittant connections due to my work environment.
I expect to update this thread after each night's experiment.
The first night is an exception, I'm comparing my normal ROM (loaded with apps, widgets, and running Tasker) My first night has been interesting...one running freshly rooted is still 100% after 1.5 hours. The FR008 with many apps is down to 89% (note that this is the older battery). Perhaps at the 4 hour mark, I shall swap them. It would be nice to do this with 2 new batteries, but I have what I have.
This is being done to lay rest to the claim that one ROM gives better battery life over another. Seems like it is going to be conclusive if the first night is any indication. Perhaps we'll see what app is the culprit? (Widgets??Tasker??)
Phone calls?
Interesting article regarding battery life
Interesting experiment !
Just FYI - an provocative article :
Your Battery Gauge Is Lying To You:
Everything You Need To Know About Bump Charging
And Inconsistent Battery Drain
No phone calls on either. Just to be fair, since one is without a sim card, both of them have data turned off.
At the 4 hour mark, the original rooted ROM is still at 100% and the FR008 with mucho is at 82%. I have swapped batteries.
This gave me an opportunity to race bootups. The stock ROM booted up and was usable before the FR008 (with UOT cooked startup bootup animation) even got to the dancing droid. Makes me want to undo that to see if that is slowing down the bootup.
I am eager to do this full swing with clean ROMs tomorrow. I shall make a backup of the FR008 ROM then go back to the aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip
(found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783508&highlight=Original+ROM). I will then flash FR008, adding only a widget for easy monitoring of battery levels, BattStatt.
This experiment is going to have to wait. Part 2 of last night's experiment indicated that my older battery drains fast in either device/ROM. The article linked in this thread is good reading. Thanks for that info.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
Awesome idea
What a great idea - I hate the battery life on my Aria, and have tried multiple ROMs and multiple battery programs. I look forward to watching your progress with different settings and ongoing informational reports

I pretty much ran a similar test
I have two Aria phones - both the same age
one is stock 2.1
one is FR008
I set them both up the same - running HTC Sense -
I set the phones down (while I slept) for 8 hours
the stock phone drained 10%
the FR008 phone drained 43%
Did it twice
I know its not a 'real' test , but it does make you go hrmmmmmmmm.
If only you had a 3rd phone to throw CM into the mix! lol

You set the phone down for 8 hours and your phone drained 57% battery on idle for FR008? I find that very hard to believe because I have set my phone down over night and it drained 2% of my battery if even that. FR008 has shown the best battery life to me over the entire FR series. As of right now, my battery has been off charger for 6 hours, and Ive used the internet, wifi, and light texting with my battery at 100% still.
Edit: Im also using SetCPU...I dont know how much of a difference that would make, but there should be a difference. Try using SetCPU
FR008 is a battery drainer from hell. I just accept it.
SetCPU slows down my phone to epic proportions--no thanks.

You set the phone down for 8 hours and your phone drained 57% battery on idle for FR008? I find that very hard to believe because I have set my phone down over night and it drained 2% of my battery if even that. FR008 has shown the best battery life to me over the entire FR series. As of right now, my battery has been off charger for 6 hours, and Ive used the internet, wifi, and light texting with my battery at 100% still.
Edit: Im also using SetCPU...I dont know how much of a difference that would make, but there should be a difference. Try using SetCPU

you dont have to believe me - just telling you exactly what I have experienced
It wasnt just one night - I tested this for 3 nights straight before I made this post -
if you are running all those things for 6 hours and still show 100% - I would question that
Here is a note :
I downloaded the HK version from attn1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
and noticed a much better battery life
Those of you who are exerpiencing battery issues - might want to try that one out!

I said I have been off the charger for 6 hours. Not necessarily using the phone for 6 hours. I browsed the web for around half an hour and sent about 30 texts since Ive been off the charger. I just dont see how its possible for your phone to drain 57% while youre not using it. What happens when you start using it?

I have noticed no lag with SetCPU. To each his own

When i start using it - I love it
let me try this - i am currently at 100% -
its 8:17 AM PST
I will let it sit 'idle' on my desk at work - off charge.
in one hour - i estimate that it will have dropped 2% now (new ROM)
I will report back

ok, just about an hour on FR008 - and now my BattStat is reporting . . . .
96% !?!
Both times - the phone was just left alone - on my desk - not being charge - not being moved at all - no touchy.....
Both were fully wiped prior to flashing
Both had LPP + DV + 3 widgets (mClock, Exteneded Controls, BattStat)
Both had turned off News/Stock sync
Both had 2 emails (Exchange, IMAP) set up
though not truely scientific - but nevertheless
HK Version showing < 1% drop
FR008 vers showing < 5% drop
dont know what to say - these are my results.
wish i had your results

Wow... to use your words "I just don't see how it's possible" that you are still at 100% after sending 30 texts and 30 minutes of web browsing. In my own experience with my 2 month old Aria, even on the stock Aria, that sounds unbelievable. Either that or your battery calibration is way off.
My HTC ARIA with FR008 drain 2% in 8 hours.
Wifi off.
GPS off.
PLANE MODE ON
Set CPU when the screen is off 200-400 MHz
Set CPU when the screen is off 200-800 MHz and work very very smooth with Live Wallpapers.
Average CPU Usage <1%
Plane mode on????
With all those things off , why not just power down

P8 battery draining fast

Stock 5.0.2 version B200.
Android OS taking 50% battery juice all the time even over night.
Any ideas ?

How long is the battery lasting (in hours)?
Android will take up 100% of the battery usage if you do nothing with your phone (that is, the OS will discharge the battery just keeping the phone working).
I would expect Android to take up more of the battery usage overnight since you aren't doing anything else with it. A "percentage of usage" is just the share that entity is using relative to the other things running on the phone.
Yeah, That makes sense, but how much draining is reasonable over an 8 hour period at night ? 2% per hour is reasonable ?

This means the phone would last two days hours if you left it alone, and Android would be responsible for only half of that drain by your previous observation. Doesn't sound unreasonable.
What's using the other 50% of the battery overnight?

I will review and report back.
Here's the battery usage screen after 7 hours:

That's too much, I'm getting like 3% drain over the night (5% with the wifi but no real synchronization). Do you really need NFC and Bluetooth during the night?
PS. Try to restart your phone
I turned off NFC and battery draining slowed down significantly.
