When you flash a new firmware, do you flash wid a full battery charge?.....that makes a difference cos the os considers that battery level to be the Max level at that time.... .. i read bout this in lestats dev page....cheers!

today i had to flash my phone again and i was in a hurry so i flashed it without charging to 100%....will it make any difference??
and i came across this app for this purpose...

but i am confused......anyone??

It may have to do with cpu scaling also.I installed cpu master and saw that the cpu is always on 667mhz and not down-scaling when not in use

Yup the app deletes the battery calibration file when it is fully charged ....so it does set ur battery to Max level.....it shd work....

I dunno about this, after I flashed a new rom(60% charge) the battery was fine for a few days(around 26 hrs backup)...but recently the battery backup has dropped to less than 8 hrs!

Battery dying quick wow

i am on stock odin rom rooted and with the lag fix. the battery is dying very quick it went from 50 to 40 in 10 mins gps was off. what should i do?
I would hop on your nimbus 2000 and fly on over to T-Mobile
Serious note l would check to see how many apps are running and also go to settings -> about phone -> Battery use and see what all is using your battery up and if you see something you dont know then post it.

Aside from getting a new phone? Nothing. I am on my third Vibrant and I can vouch this is normal (at least in my experience). The GPS drains the battery 1% per 1 min on average for me too.

I gotta respectfully disagree - this is most definitely NOT normal. I've used my phone more today than any other day I can think of since I've had it. I pulled it off the charger exactly 10 hrs. ago and I've got 50% left.
I'm getting VERY good battery life with my Vibrant.

it could be one of these?
1 - your phone is jacked up
2 - your battery is jacked up
3 - you are running too many programs in the background and you don't know it. Check out your application running tab to see what exactly is running.
i get over a day with the battery btw normal usage.

it doesn't matter if you're using the phone or not. if a program running in the background will continue to do so regardless. Dude, just go return it for a new one.

I have this issue on Darky 10.1 (2.6 kernel), 2.3.3
Battery lasts around 10 hours with light to medium usage (its a new original Samsung battery as well).
Does anyone have any quick advice to fix this? Bit under time pressure due to job at the moment and don't have much time to research this. Any advice to fix this easily and quickly?
I had this problem after switching on the “Vorabruf über Mobilnetz“ in the Cache-Settings of Google Maps. Maps was closed, but battery was fast going down. Using XWJVH.

I too have almost the same problem with Darky Rom 10.1 - but I've heard that it has been fixed in the new beta version. I'm gonna flash it at the end of the week and after a few days of observing, I'm gonna tell you the results.

It's been through quite a few cycles.
I think I figured it out.....I think it was Skype. If you sign in the app is always on...it doesn't have an exit feature. There is, however, an app to close it. I used it and got normal battery life today!
We'll see if it keeps working like it should.
So I've upgraded to 2.3.4, (Ficeto.Deodexed.XXJVP) and Android OS battery drain stopped. Now it shows 70% battery usage on display (before it was 70% android OS). I recommend updating your system too
with darky on medium use never had more than 14 hrs )
I've given up for the moment and gone back to Darkys 9.5
Now at least I can get through one whole day and have about 40% left

Are you willing to flash the rom again? or you can try to use the speedmod 15g t11 for the kernel to replace the JVP kernel.
it's said that when you use the USB connection to your PC, you need to reboot it. So this battery drainage will not happen.
In the ROm 2.3.3 JV5 and JV6 for Asia, I do the same to keep the batter alive.
Try backing up everything and then factory reset phone. Generally this happens because of a few unwanted applications excessively using ur processor, in turn draining battery or there may be a malware that stealthily connects itself to the net. This will almost certainly cure the disease. If it doesn't, then there is a serious defect in ur hardware or some of ur system app required for properfunctioning of the phone is corrupted, causing excess pressure on the processor
It is a big problem to everyone, I charge twice per day for this.
Calibrate your battery
Let the battery go down to 0% and turn off
Then turn the phone on, it'll turn itself off again cause battery is low
Keep doing this until its totally 0%
Plug in the charger, charge it to 100%
Turn the phone on
Download SGS Tools from the android market place
Run the app
Go to "scripts"
click delete battery stats
Unplug charger & you're done
battery should be more stable now
go to settings
applications
running services
check what you have in the background
close them down if they're unecessary
I get through the workday with only 10% loss
If you have an really old SIM card, try and replace it with a brand new one. This may also help. I had bad battery run time with two LG Optimus 2x phones (about 10 hours) and not so stellar 20 hours with the i9000. Finally I stumbled over some advise to replace old SIM cards. Since mine was over 12 years old, I ordered a new one. It is not gonna change the world, I know, but it was worth a try .

Stock , or custom rooted ? Where can i find ?

Im newbie in android....sorry
Villain 1.4 good battery life .
Multiple flashing of roms degrades battery life unless you reset battery stats and give the battery time to readjust + 80 %of battery drain is user apps /rogue aps constantly trying to connect /wake phone .

I reset the bat every time that i do a flash when reach 100 %

WOW.....your device is so hard work, but I would like to know you whether open the auto-sync?! you can download the app for Juicedefender or Green Power to control the data/ Wifi, it can save power.
I use Lite'ning V1.5 and use Juicedefender for my Galaxy S II, it can work for 2 days for one charge
stock KF3 works great for me. You shouldn't need a special ROM to get decent battery time.
What is the display on time when the battery is getting close to empty? That tells a lot how you use the phone.
In the past i got a lot of Screen 65 %
Now android ios is taking 45 %....

Btw what is your best rom regarding power consuption ?
Must admit the battery on this SGS2 is a bit of a pain.
It takes all day to charge from 20% to FULL then about half a day to drain back to about 20%...
my Iphone 4 I have just sold, would charge up to full in a couple of hours and last all day.

Please Help - Problems Again

Guys its me again.
Flashed Pre-Rooted DDJP6 and G3MOD 1.8 extreme kernel.
Charged for 2 hours, After that taken my phone out of charging suddenly battery started draining to 10% and phone switched off. i waited for a while and restarted phone battery was 80% and suddenly 10% again and phone switched off.
In the past i had been changing rom since last 4-5 days from Kyrillos to Indroid to XXPJF to DDJP6.
Kindly tell me what is the issue?? Many suggest to calibrate, when we calibrate we have to drain it in reality and recharge it to 100% but my phone if showing fake battery it drains instantly so how do we really drain it and re-charge??
I want to solve this problem asap. As my phone is almost unusable, i suspected SETCPU is causing this so i uninstalled it but still no use.
Please help i don't want to re-flash the rom and lose the data again
There is a high possibility that your battery is damaged since, as I understood, this problem persists in more than one roms.
sent from my CM7 nokia 3210
Switched it off for a 20-25 Minutes.
Switched on since last 2hours 3minutes and Mobile WIFI ROUTER AP in use since then.
still 22% Left. Dont understand , sometimes works very well and sometimes what a lag. I would let it drain and then charge fully.. Hope it works

first change the kernel to G3MOD v1.9 lite. be rooted. using root explorer delete batterystats.bin or install BatteryCallibration.apk charge upto 100% then let it drain. use battery monitor widget to check health and voltage of the battery. report it here. if health is good and voltage is >4150mV, u are good.
Actually its such an pain to again n again change the kernel i can't doo al data2sd and stuf again
btw i had cleared battery stats from the recovery so i don't have a stats.bin file when i tried batterycallibration it said the files is missing.
Sometimes battery works nicely and sometimes it lags usually at night what solution we have for this?
Battery was running fine at 100% on some tough work for an hour or so. Its rocking
So lets experiment , see the log below ->
SETCPU set to on demand max 1Ghz.
11:33 = Battery 100% , SETCPU setting on boot, wifi on , fb chat on , opera on.
11:41 - Battery at 74% FB CHAT off now installed operamini.. let me browse SETCPU still on
11:52 - Battery at 61% , Opera On , Setcpu modified to SAVE POWER.
11:54 - Battery still at 61% but phone is lagging more then it was before SETCPU. So i have uninstalled setcpu and kept my phone for charging. Lets see how much time it takes to fully charge..
I have reached the conclusion that SETCPU is the cause of problem
Even after SETCPU problem persists... drained it once and charged for about 1 hour , was showing BATTERY FULL... took it off charger switched on, was 100% kept in pocket in idle condition. 10-15 minutes passed by took it out and was down to 80 then to 50 in next 15-20 minutes without any work... What's gng on some1 help

Best kernel........????
Well there are 2 kernel which are just awesome ......G3mod 2.0 b3......and Fugumod kernel......
U can flash any one of them.....
I personally prefer Fugumod....but it's your choice coz both are fantastic....
Flash the new kernel and clear the battery stats....calliberate....and Setcpu doesn't harm your battery....
Even i am thinking about FUGUMOD.. does it include Recovery , app2sd ,data2sd and stuff.
If yes can you tell me which version exactly of FuGuMOD is the best for non lag stable superb experience ??
M using DDJP6 pre-rooted with superuser and i don't want to format and wipe stuff again.. lots of apps are dere and internal memory is still 800mb empty so will it b impacted if i flash a kernel?

If the batttery gets swollen, it means it is near the end of its lifetime. If it is swollen so much that you cant put your back cover on, it is time to change your battery. i would recommend you not to use your phone with that battery and get a new one ASAP.
Just to clear things out, fugumod doesn't include CWM recovery nor does it include app2sd script. You have to do this manually unless you are using a custom ROM which has this preloaded such as kyrillos' ROM.

It is weird that it happened on this phone. I CAUTION you STRONGLY not to use that battery as it may damage your phone, leave aside blasting and all.
I would also recommend you to take more care of the phone as in, not left in charge for way too long, not overclocked constantly at very very high speeds continuously, and also to check where you keep you phone while charging (dont keep it on heat emitting stuffs like stabilizers, fan regulators etc) Change your battery of course.
Looks like the problem is You. It is neither the battery nor SetCPU. You skipped some basic stuffs, ignored the governor scaling of setCPU and now just pay some attention and if you do, you got yourself a solution!

Nope its the battery only I checked it a mobile expert and saw the battery a bit swollen so its definitely a battery issue. I set the right profiles and governor while using setcpu. Maybe overcharging must have damaged my battery.

Use a battery calibration app and since u installed new rom make at least 1 full cycle. But u should know Note 3 mode eats a little more battery
