Battery Jumping Issue on Gingerbread

This is a serious problem for me, and ive seen many others report it
it started with the HK 2.3.4, and i thought the ATandT build would fix it but it hasnt
The battery readings all over the place, it will say 40% left, but if i restart it itll go back to 59% and etc..
I have done a battery callibration, wiped battery stats, all that good stuff, it has not helped.
I flashed 1.8.3 SBF and then went to the ATandT gingerbread (gingerblur), so everying was wiped, but i still have this problem
Does anyone know how i can communicate this issue to that motorola forum guy Matt,
its very annoying and is making our batteries look very mediocre

Check out my battery life ...nice huh?

Considering these builds are likely not at all final, it's probably something they either have fixed on another build, are working on fixing before the beta, or will fix during the beta.
Basically, I think we'll have to wait for the official release unless Kenn can patch a fix into his own rom.

this seems to be a problem after installing the 1% mod. every time i install it it happens no matter how many times i wipe... once i reflahed with beta 4.5 everything works perfect

I had the 1% mod , wish i never did
but flashed 1.8.3 and flashed to beta gingerblur again, i don thave the mod right now
but still seeing this

How is this possible??

I am having the same issue but it doesn't seem to be a big deal as it shows quick drain when it jumps up or drains slow when it jumps down.

Hows what possible? He has the 1% battery mod which makes his battery reading way off. I can be 60% battery , reboot and it will say I'm at 90%.

Motorola isn't going to give 2 hoots about your problems since you flashed a leaked firmware, which wasn't for your specific model anyway!

I had a widget that displayed 1% increment battery levels and that showed the same deal as before. It's not a problem with the mod. All they do is read the system files reporting battery level anyway.
And really Caelan...can't you just ignore the topic if you're just going to post spam?

If you read more carefully, you'll notice it actually is for our specific model
Gingerblur is based on the ATandT 4.5.91

to clear ur confusion, i did have hk and 1% mod in the past. But i then flashed 1.8.3 SBF (which is for at and t atrix)
So right there, all the past is history, im stock.
THEN went to 4.5.91, and still have problems, as do others

It's got to be a bug in the Moto ROM. I'm sure it will be fixed either by our devs or their's

My front facing camera will not work

Sorry to the OP if this is off topic, but didn't want to start a new thread.
Issue is, battery drains faster than it is getting charged while in use. playing game on it while charging and still sucks battery dry. any constructive thoughts is welcome

UPDATED:Which KERNEL is the best that won't drain a lot your GS2 battery?

As far as I concerned, there are plenty kernels for GS2: KE2, KE7, KE8, KF1, KF2, KF3, KF4, KG1.
But after I flashed the [2.3.4] VillainROM 2.0 for SGS2, I tried two different kernel, they are KG1 and KF2. But I found out KF2 works way better, it can last about 8 more hours than KG1. The kernels are from

I did full wipe before I flash the ROM. I use Odin3 v1.85 flash the kernel in the download mode and works perfectly.
SO, the only difference is battery life.
UPDATED:
This morning's screen:
Around 3% drop after 7h.
Not really remarkable, but I guess KF2 is better.
What do you guys suggest?
Please, tell me which kernel you are using, the Rom and the battery life.
Screen shot is WELCOME!
Cheers!

kernel
That sounds unlikely. I didnt test it yet but i will test it. Atm i have KG1.

a question a bit off-topic: Can I flash an stock kernel of a different ROM to my current ROM?
For example:
I'm using the KF3 spanish ROM (2.3.3). Can I flash only the kernel of KG1 (2.3.4) to my ROM?

I have KF2 for a while now, I'm very happy with it.
Did a test a few days back, went to sleep and put the phone in airplane mode, battery was 87%.
When I woke up (8.5 hours later) battery was 85%.
A 2% drop in 8.5 hours, not bad.

While i have no evidence, I too believe this to be true, when i first got the phone I was on KF2, lasted ages, now it struggles for 10 hours. I don't fully understand the android OS so i just do as the ROM devs tell me.

Bit more complicated than just a kernal is battery drain .
Firmware modem apps running all can play a part .
jje

I am using litening ROM 2.1 with KG1 kernel for a few days now and I think battery was better on KF2 so I switching back to KF2. I participate in the poll when I am sure which gives more battery life.

Off-topic: I have lost count about the number of updates that Samsung released in different parts of the world. But sure that there were atleast couple of updates for every region.
Once the GS2 is released in US (if at all it's released there), there will be 1 update in 12 months and there will be countless articles in every blog. Somehow updates just don't roll out in US.

KF3 Kernel KE7 modem Villain 1.4 rom no battery complaints .
Once 2.3.4 becomes a full release i shall try that .
jje

Could you post your screen capture of the battery usage, either of the kernels would be fine. If you can post both of them, I will be really appreciate that.
I will post my screen tomorrow.

I don't think a kernel has too much to do on battery life. But Push email exchanges, Active Sync and some apps. Use ATK, problem solved.

I'm using Lite'ning 2.1, bloatware removed, sync on - I take my phone off charge at 8.30am, it's normally on my desk not being used for around 3 hours and unless I start using it, the batt has never dropped below 100%.
I'd like to leave it longer to see just how long it will stand by for on 100% but I want to use me phone!

I am having trouble with the batter at the moment. I am using villainrom 2.0 with KF2 now, using xda app for about 25min and my 13% is gone. Last night, I am using KG1, I turned the phone into the flight mode, after 9h, the battery drained from 98% to 26%. That was really strange. I have nearly 150 apps installed, most of them are small simple apps like for finance, business, social networking, tools, not much background running apps.
I wish someone can explain to me.

While the Android OS bug still reigns supreme, stock KG1's battery life is unparalled for me, as long as I keep WiFi off. With WiFi on, Android OS is always higher than 50% and the battery life is crap, but it has always been like that on all kernel versions up to now.

I use ATK all the time, I don't have Push email exchanges, I only have Google Account Sync and whatsapp sync in the background.
I also use autorun manager which prevents some services restarting.

increased battery drain with no reason

I know this has posted a million times.
Without a warning my stock KH1 with CF-root started to have bad battery. According to battery usage it's the android system. Around 40 - 60% sometimes.
I usually had it around 10 - 20%
Also the better battery stats says its caused by "suspend" and "events/0"
Now I've have read this bug over and over by tons of people but I never had it. Always stayed on stock with cf-Root. Didn't have a problem and BAM! there it was
As soon I noticed this I flashed stock back, first to KH1 and then KG6. No difference. And no I didn't just wait half a day to see if it worked with each other firmware or ROM I gave it at least 3 days or at least 3 battery charges.
And so it went on. Stock KH1 with CF-ROOT -> KH1 -> KG6 -> Cognition S2 1.51 -> Exynos 5.4. No difference.
Again I'm sorry of bringing this up. I wouldn't post this thread if I had this from the beginning. I just find it weird that it just appeared.
Maybe it's from my apps but wouldn't the battery usage say anything?
Just saying as well that my phone sleeps when my screen if off and goes awake when I turn it on. No odd awakes while my screen is off.
With regards,
Sven

This is the Android OS bug. I doubt it will get fixed before Ice Cream Sandwich, and even then, it's not sure. Welcome to the club of ****ty battery.

Did you refresh BatterBatteryStats? Sometimes it doesn't update. If it's updated, then it's not nearly that bad. For me I've noticed that 1m of CPU time is about 1% of battery lost. So for you in that screen it's about 12% lost due to the suspend and events/0 activities. And if battery is at 34% (can't see correctly, too small), then you don't have it nearly as bad as some others.
Here's what I get sometimes when it escalates: (20h lifetime, complete idle)

@OP- You are on the same group with me. I always stay on CF root with Stock ROM and I also never had that AOS bug until last week it suddenly appeared! I posted about it on the BBS thread but got no response usually. The thing is you can't stop it, once it there you just have to live with it. And gradually it will disappear again. Just wait till then.
Regards.

I've never believed in the AOS battery drain bug until I got it myself. And indeed like the others have said, there is no permanent way to fix it.
the best you can do is to try flashing different ROMs or kernels and see which one gives you the best battery life, with or without the drain bug. For starters, you might want to check out the Speedmod kernel

No, there are ways to fix the bug at times, just depends on what causes it. Day one when I received my phone, I had the android os bug. Used to be up in the high 50%+ for Android OS, but then I found out my router caused the issue and now it's always below 10%. I'm also on stock btw, no root or anything.

I looked at Sammobile for an unupdate for N910T and I did not see anything - the only thing listed is the Original Stock Tar for this phone - maybe they haven't updated yet?

Maybe just for octa core version?

Well there is one, but it's for the general international version. As history has taught us these devices get updates the first. T-mobile has to decide if they will implement this update (which they normally will) but this usually takes weeks (or months).

LG G5 Idle Battery Drain FiXED after V20P Update!!!

Hi to everyone,
I just one to let everyone know that the wakelocks problems seems to have disapeared with the V20P update (I made it with LG Bridge, not with OTA).
My phone, like others, was NOT dozezing at all... and geting a max of 1.5 - 2 hours of SOT.

V20P for which variant?

For the H850, European version. I live in Romania, if it helps. Like I said, I made it with LG Bridge, since the KDZ for Romania isn't out yet (on lg-firmwares.com) so I can flash it with LG UP.

I've checked for software updates with both LG Bridge and by going into the settings and checking for them, both have told me I'm on the latest version of current OS. I'm on h850, v20k-EUR-XX right now and I live in Sweden.

No only G5, my dead G4's battery drained quickly when bluetooth is on, even when there is no BT connection at all.

flashed 20p on my Netherlands EU H850 which had 20k version. Please note that I could not successfully upgrade it so had to wipe entire phone (sd card data was fine).

as for me.... i see at the SS that the phone still drains the battery while not being used at night...

How can i get this upfate on my H860?

battery drain at night is also possible due to your cell signal reception quality, especially in a bad reception area this variable can drain your battery quite a lot.
nevertheless I noticed a significant improvement on this new 20p, I ordered a new battery a week ago and decided it was a nice point to start fresh with a new firmware.
was worth the couple hours I invested.

fingers crossed

Is it for different carriers? I just got 20N on my 3 UK phone

I'm on 20p and still have same problem. However I did update ota. I'll find 20p firmware and start a fresh. I had no issue on marshmallow. But nougat is smoother and nicer to use. I'd love to keep it. I'll try what you suggested and use LG up.
---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------
No I'm not. I'm on s firmware following more updates. Don't tell me s broke it again. Maybe I should just flash brand new firmware using LG up. The problem could be caused by updating ota.

So i installed latest 20s firmware using lg bridge and battery drain with screen off was 3 percent an hour. That means over 1/3 of your battery is lost with phone doing nothing. With my collection of apps phone only sleeps 40 percent of the time. I downgraded back to marshmallow and it's 90 percent asleep with same apps. Battery drain only 1.5 percent an hour. Can cope with that as using Bluetooth smart watch and lots off syncs. Interestingly the battery life of my garmin smart watch drops to 2 days when using nougat from 7 days when using marshmallow. But uninstalling garmins app and turning off Bluetooth only improves standby drain by 0.1 percent on the G5.

Nougat ok if you set location to GPS only
Back to nougat. It's just much smoother than marshmallow and heats up less. Seems the problem is the location settings. With this on GPS only and no WiFi scanning I get much less wakelocks.
It's made a whole day with 4 hours 30 screen on.
Can't complain at that. About what I'd expect given screen and battery size. Some of that transferring photo's over WiFi and playing games. Rest browsing the web.
