Hi,
I have a 9023 and performed the manual upgrade to 2.3.4. One thing I've noticed was a massive battery drain with the same previous usage.
Using Astro I've found that the process d.process.media was constantly using nearly 90% of CPU.
So, I have restarted and the process seems to have stop.
As I noticed some users also complained about the battery drain after the update. Please check if this process is also being crazy with you.
Actually, same thing happens on my 2.3.3 when i use a picture in usb storage as wallpaper. if i use system wallpaper, then problem goes

I9020a here on manual 2.3.4 with the same battery drain. I had cell standby eating up the bulk of it. I figured flashing kb3 would fix it.

I would like to point out that the above process will not appear in battery usage screen. Also I have the same Cell Standby as top eater.
From what I see, battery usage is now more inline with what I had in 2.3.3 GRI40.
Still I'll charge it overnight ans see how it manages tomorrow during the day.
I can't find that process in my list. However, so far since the update my battery does appear to be draining faster. Im quite a light user and from one charge can get 2 days worth of usage (ie, charge tonight, use thursday and friday and charge friday night). I will see if this can still be acheived. Wont be happy if not.
Im trying 2.3.4 with kb3.

My process id (pid) is 336. Yours may vary.
I think I have identified my issue. But still it could be a good idea to find if any process is misbehaving.

Cheers, found it, different pid. not using anything at the moment, and none of the other processes seem to be msbehaving, Will have to keep an eye on the usage though.
Initial findings not good. Lost 7 percent whilst asleep (~1% for every hr). Im pretty sure on 2.3.2 i used to lose 2 or 3%. How difficult it is it to role back to an earlier version. For me its quite important to be able to get 2 days usage out of it. One of the things ive been most impressed with.

Flash 2.3.2 full ROM to downgrade or restore 2.3.2 nandroid (you might want to downgrade radio as well, nandroid doesn't include radio).
My battery life is back to normal with kb3 radio.

i noticed after the upgrade to 2.3.4 + netarchy kernel the battery life is amazing! 2 days and still at 53%
normally by now it would be down to like 10% using the previous ROM

How is your battery life after 2.3.4, testing complete?
I use stock 2.3.4. After 1.5 days of use there is still 55% of my akku left.

I will try to flash it and see if it works for me. Battery life for me has definitely gone down after 2.3.4
Trying to upload a picture. This is overnight. The Cell standby is ridiculous. Lets see how it goes.
Could you please not upload anymore screenshots without writing down some more details ?
Ok, you have 34% display and 31% cell standby, but how do we know if display time was 5 mins and not 2 hours ? Or if it was at 10% brightness or at 100% brightness ?
You should either write down all the details to the story, or don't write them at all. That includes uploading useless screenshots as well.

I flashed my vibrant to bionix 1.3.1 a while back, pretty much a week after is was released. Its been great up to about 2-3 days ago. I had a full charge at work at today around 2 pm, I got home and checked the battery life at around 6 pm it was at 72%. I sent out about 4 texts lastnight. Got up this morning is was at 44%. I used to get about 2-3 days out of light use. It will probably be dead by 2 pm again today.
What gives?
Network data off -
Black background -
Brightness is the lowest -
Idk maybe randomly reading it wrong? P.s. Why dont people charge their phones at night?!?!? Thats what I do
Oh i do as well usually. But like i said, the battery is starting to drop so fast that by lunch that day it was already at like 49%. By 2 pm is was full and so on. I just dont understand why its dropping so fast thats all.
Might have something to do with the battery
Check what's running in the background. The other night I was just using the phone normally and put it to sleep, checked it a few times and it was dropping 1% every 15 minutes or so. Noticed it kept checking into something. VVM and Market Checkin was running, killed it and it seemed to help. Also discovered (might not be true) that the New MAPS and GMAIL apps constantly check in and drain the battery after removing the updates phone seems to last longer/as it did before..:/
oo maybe that might be it. I Just updated a boat load of my apps a few days ago. P.s. how do you remove just the update?

or sadlly Your battery cant hold the juice anymore because it was recharged to zero few times too many , sorry
This is crazy. I just came to xda to post my bionix 1.3.1 battery problem. I been running it for a week and no issues. But this morning I took the phone off the charger and within 10 minutes of using it I was down to 85%. Usually after my morning usage I'd be around 93-95%. But that's not the issue I wanted to post.
I was trying to wait for Black Ice since Frost had the best battery life of any rom I've tried...just not feeling the Frost theme. So I started to download the Frost zip & got the phone on the charger.
Even after I put it back on the charger my battery life kept going down. Plugged it in at 85% and a few minutes later I noticed it was at 83%

I have the same problem. I have system panel running all the time. When I sleep, the phone sleeps too and uses about 1% of battery per hour. But when im actually using the phone, even if the use is minimal like sending a few texts etc. The battery consumption is far greater than the use. Top apps in system panel monitoring is usually system process and system itself. How do I correct this issue?

I agree with you also. These guys must have some super batteries to get that kind of life out of it. lol.
After replacing the battery with a 1600 mah Seidio battery. I still get bad results. For example, during lunch today my phone was at 50% in my locker. After 4 hours, I was at 21%. My Sync, GPS, BT and Wifi are all OFF.
How is this possible?
I use to own a Nexus One and in 4 hours it would go down 2% with CM6. Is Gingerbread an issue here or does my phone need RMA repair?

superaosp from [email protected] stock kernel or redstars depends but cm7 and stock OTA gave me better battery than 2.2/2.1
I'm running stock 2.3.3 and battery life is by far the best over various android versions.
2.3.3 has some weird bug where every once in a while the system gets into a weird drain state like it doesnt go into deep sleep correctly. i just got hit with this last night. it does happen all the time, most of the time on 2.3.3 battery life is excellent. i will lose 6% over 8 hours. but when that awake bug DOES kick in, battery drops like yours did.
you just have to reboot and check it again, the bug likely will clear itself and you wont see it again, for a while.

My N1 on 2.3.3 goes completely dead after 12hrs. I found the solution when doing a Google search. It's to go to Wifi Settings, Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, and change it to Never. You'd think that would reduce battery life, but for some reason now my phone's battery life is very significantly improved. Now it's only down to about 30% after 19hrs when I put it on the charger.
It appears that 2.3.4 will address battery issues in Gingerbread.

I dont think its Gingerbread, ive used both stock and CM7 on my N1 and i was having good bat life on N1 stock gingerbread about 5-6 hours with heavy use, and with CM7 official rom i get 7-8 hours heavy use and up to 19 hours on days i barely use the phone, and on standby i can confirm 8 hours (while im asleep) it drains 6% by the time i wake up of course i do have it personalized and settings applied for bat savings.
I haven't encountered this bug with CM 7.0.3 (based on 2.3.3) but I found it very useful to let the phone just drain the battery completely once in a while (once in a few weeks) and than fully charge it.
After doing that, I can go through two days with regular usage of the device
I'm on CM 7.0.3, 2.3.3 and I'm only getting 13-15 hrs if I'm lucky. Wifi and bluetooth are off only syncing gmail and google contacts. I barely even touch my phone at work for 8 hrs and the battery life sucks.
Another weird thing is that once it gets to 15% left it just automatically dies and shuts down...very frustrating, I'm on the latest pershoot kernel too, the phone was given to me for free last month and it was originally purchased in Feb '10 so I just figure the battery is old and worn out.

No. Your battery is not aged, it just needs re-calibration.
One simple way is to re-calibrate your battery is to charge it when the phone is off or charge using a desktop charher, and you have to over-charge a bit - just leave the battery connecting to power source for an additional 1 hour or more, when the charging process has been completed.
This works every time for me.
Keep in mind that from time to time the battery may need to be re-calibrated again for peak performance.

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 .
I just recently unlocked bootloader, flashed 2.3.4 pudding and rooted and am experiencing insane battery life. For example, this morning I unplugged at 7:30 am and had work at 9 am. I work at AT&T so I am on my phone a significant amount of the day especially compared to the 'heavier' users out there. This morning was extremely slow and I spent most of the morning downloading and installing apps mostly from 4shared.com, heavy usage. Later in the day I used the phone for 3 customer service calls, all fairly lengthy. I also had set my cpu to 1000 MHz using SetCpu and my brightness cranked all the way up. I let 4 of my employees use my phone to demo for customers and showed my front row video of Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America 5 or 6 times. All the while playing Words with Friends with the old lady and sending and receiving about 50 texts. Pretty heavy use and a typical day for me.
It is 8 pm and I am at 40% still!! I am thoroughly impressed after 2 days of flashing new rom.
Please give your feedback on battery life on 2.3.4 and let me and others know ifI you are experiencing something similar.

I stated the phone was mostly idle today. My phone has been idle like that before (entire day) and on 2.2.2 the battery was at 20% or so usually.
edit: IMO testing the battery usage when the phone is idle is probably a more accurate test between 2.2.2. and 2.3.4. It helps see how much battery the background services run on 2.3.4. With the screen on/phone in active use there's too many variables that are draining the battery = tough to make an accurate comparison. That is unless you have some sort of automated test script running that enables the screen and automatically walks through several apps for 2+ hours. I doubt anyone here does that though .

agree with that, especially with screen time going past 1-2 hours.
I'm not rooted or anything... I have AT&T version. I get horrible reception in my home so I usually turn off data network and have wifi on. I was using "extend controls" app from market... no with the update a few things wont work namely the widget to turn off data network connection. I see the problem, it renames the wrong APN (AT&T US Tether)... the default APN is AT&T HSDPA, not sure if its okay to switch. That all said my battery drains VERY fast... Went to bed at around 1am with 50% and was totally drained (phone died) by 8am. My only thought is that it was searching for a signal all night with wifi on...
Any thought on this?
I have had amazing battery life. I closed tonight so my routine was pretty much the same. I usually listen to iheartradio for about 2 hours while im counting down drawers other wise idle except for checking twitter on my breaks. That usually puts me at somewhere between 30-40% and I got home with 70% today...
I've somehow managed to get 2 days and 11 hours while still being at 12%. I haven't really used it much, with only ~3 hours of screen time, but I did use it for about 2 hours to listen to music with.
(On RedPill, not just 2.3.4 pudding)
My battery life seems terrible. Was on Gingerblur 4.5 and unlocked rooted and flashed ken's "safe" 4.5.91 update and my battery just died in 5.5 hrs. Anyone got suggestions?

My battery life seems terrible. Was on Gingerblur 4.5 and unlocked rooted and flashed ken's "safe" 4.5.91 update and my battery just died in 5.5 hrs. Anyone got suggestions?

Do you have the 4.5.91 radio (radio section near the bottom of the 1st post)? Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version = N_01.77.30P
Glad battery life is looking good. I'd love to see some comparisons to non OEM batteries. I know some say 2k+ mAH but you never know about quality.
I think the dual core CPU is to thank here. If processes are getting completed much quicker, then that means less active CPU time.
Unlocked, rooted, over-clocked @ 1100mhz, Kenneths Rom. My battery is outstanding! Under-clock to 750 with screen off and run "maximum battery saver" mode. Runs flawlessly and no issues.

Hello!
I rooted my phone as of yesterday, I charged it all night and when I took it off today the battery went from completely full to dead withint 3 hours of no use. I did not use the phone at all.
Any ideas?
If you just rooted your phone, you should not have battery drain... Try to temporarily disable root (with Voodo OTA RootKeeper for exemple)
Use better battery stats to nail down which app is causing the drain
Did you try wiping your battery stats in CWM - advanced?
There's also an app, Battery Calibration, on the Play Store that may help with that.
Not uncommon to get weird battery readings after changing rom's or rooting.

+1 that app will tell you exactly what's bogging down your cpu, and which apps prevent proper deep sleep mode.

This is soooo strange. Not a normal behavior!! Before you root your phone, how the battery lifes goes??? Are you in a stock or modified ROM? Wich kernel are you using?
I faced this issue a couple weeks ago. Android S.O was the culprit and it was driving me crazy. I was using a custom ROM (RemICS-UX). I solved the problem returning to stock and erasing everything, then i reflashed the ROM and the kernel, in my case Devil3 0.79. If you want to give it a try!!
After that my batterys life is pretty fine, during at least 2 days!
Feel free to ask anything you want! Cheers mate

Go through a couple more full charge cycles, if android os usage isn't very high then, it should be fine.
Edit: on second thought, draining the battery without use in 3 hours is extreme, and would suggest that the CPU is running at max speed all the time. If it doesn't solve itself or improve a lot after a few more charge cycles, reflash everything.

Did you just root your phone or did you flash another ROM? Some ROMs have horrible battery life.
The stock battery usage monitor (Settings>Battery) should be enough to tell you what ate your battery. If it's a particular app you're running, try disabling that and see if it improves. If the usage is mostly "Android System", "Mobile standby", or something like that, then you have a tougher problem. The free app CPU spy will let you know if something is keeping your CPU usage high. Better battery stats is pretty cheap and will give you much more specific information.
+1s for BetterBatteryStats and waiting a few charge cycles before judging/debugging your battery drain, especially if you changed your kernel to root or flashed a rom.
I find that after flashing a new rom or kernel my phone, the battery level shown in recovery mode is higher than in the rom's settings, for a couple days. (You can see batt level in semaphore's recovery). I once dud a lazy search about this and found nothing, but I figure that's what is meant about waiting a few cycles gir your battery to calibrate.

There's no such thing as "calibrating your battery". It's a myth. Wiping your battery stats file doesn't do anything other than reset the tracking of what's using power. It doesn't magically fix your battery meter. Flashing a new ROM doesn't leave left over data, again a myth.
Battery life is never consistent after flashing because your ROM needs to "settle" for a day or two first and during that time your ram and cpu usage are all over the place.
The rest is a placebo effect.

I think I may know what is happening to you as of now. Try to bring up the Battery settings if you are on ICS and take a screenshot and post it here. If my 'spider' senses are correct, your phone did not go to 'sleep' and remained awake.
Since I can't put my signature for unknown reasons...(Maybe because I just created an account since I did not want my old one)

Currently I'm experiencing a huge battery drain too. I used both tools which where mentioned here in this thread and when the drain occours, CPU spy reports that my SGS didnt go in deep sleep at all with turned off display, it was at least at 100mhz all the time! I attached 2 logs from better battery stats and it seems like the NotificationService is causing it?
I'm using JW6 PDA JW4 Modem and JVC CSC in combination with the MNGB 0.5.8 Kernel.
Definitely, now you got to find out what is causing it!
