Battery drain problem/sensor usage

I got a heavy battery drain after flashing to the official Kies 2.2 here in Norway, on JM2 I had over two days usable time, now down to a normal day.
I've reset it several times, tried running it without any apps at all, still heavy battery drain. After checking the battery statistics/history I can see under "Partial awake time", Android System, 2 hours after 14 hours "uptime". And under "Sensor use", Gallery eats up 9 hours, 11 mins. Now what the hell is that about T_T
At least waiting for the new official fw in november.. At least the GPS got better for my part, so it's not all bad

After updating to the official 2.2 that came here in Norway, I started experiencing heavy battery drain compared to before.
After some digging I noticed under *#*#4636#*#* and Battery History and Sensor Usage, Gallery is on top! And it's using the phone's sensors almost 100% of the time it's been on. So, now; the phone has been unplugged for 12 hours, 14 minutes, and Gallery has used the sensors for 12 hours, 4 minutes. Doesn't make sense.
I suspected wifi to be the culprit to begin with, as it throned at the top in the normal battery drainage-graph (about phone, battery usage), but even if I turned off wifi, 3g and autosync over the night, the battery percentage fell just as quickly.
Now, I've tried resetting the phone several times, as I thought it was an installed app that caused the drainage, but that wasn't the case. So, what else can I do when a reset doesn't do it?
Using a GT-i9000 with JPM/JP6 non-rooted.

Well, for what it's worth I too experienced exceptionally high battery usage when I updated to JP6 via KIES hack (same version as yours). Downgraded to the latest stock ROM for my region (Eclair JG4) and the issue is gone.
Now I think I will wait for the official 2.2 update for my region (although, having had a peek at what Froyo has to offer I think I can pretty safely even skip it without missing much).

I too notice a lot of power drain and general lack of ram. What I found was that froyo has a crapload of startup services/processes compared to eclair. I disabled most of them that could be removed and replaced most of the rest like k9 for email and handscent for messeging. System seems less laggy due to more free ram and more power as CPU isn't bogged down by extra unwanted processes like samsungs remote wipe and stupid sns

I'm also suffering from battery drainage with Froyo (JP6). I was quite satisfied with battery use on Eclair. Froyo has reduced battery life almost by 50 percent. I have same programs and I'm using exactly the same settings than with Eclair. I haven't noticed anything odd from the battery history statistics though. Only strange thing is that phone reports that screen in consuming over 90 percent of the battery all the time. Well, that's just not true.

it's a sensor issue, looking at the spare parts batt usage stats. but no idea what sensor/app is the culprit. very annoying

An App I use daily for all manor including checking battery usage is 'SystemPanel'. It's been a God-send and sorted out many a problem.
There's a Free & paid version but the App is that good I immediately went for the paid App.

In 6 hours battery has gone from full charge to 85% in standby mode.
Is this normal? Charge goes awfuly quick when using the phone.
3G on, all syncs off.
Running on Froyo reg hack. Same problem on Eclair!

Phone is 85% charge from full charge on idle over 6 hours.
3G is on, 2 bars showing. WiFi on, not connected.
Display 50%, WiFi 30%, Cell 14%, Phone 6%
Froyo, Eclair same usage except Wifi connected better with Eclair on home network...
2 meters from wifi transmitter and signal fluctuates.
Also, anyone's stock browser lags with yogurt? Was good on eclair
Is it because of fash? Seems to lag on all sites now.

Just to add to this... I had similar battery life in Froyo... HOWEVER, yesterday I used the Gallery and my battery drained from full in under 10 hours with no use (overnight standby with data off).
I check my battery stats when i switched my phone back on and they're okay for the 'since last unplugged'... however... for 'all time' gallery is also my highest user!
So, looks like gallery is only a problem if you use it... if not, it's fine.
crabby

I also have like a 2hr sensor usage on my gallery...
About the light sensor atleast on the JPM/JP6 theres like 2 steps of brightness full and low.. is this normal ?

+1 for that app! Paid one with possibility to see history over time..

Sensor usage for me was also 100% in spare parts, even if the phone was off. I had to turn off auto-rotate, and it quickly became a lot less. Although I have to say it haven't solved my problem! My battery consumption with full brightness over wifi is 10%/30 min. That's just ridiculous. I'm still on the problem, and will update anything I find out. We could actually make a "BIG BATTERY DRAINAGE" thread, where everybody posts detailed logs about the drain.

I have the payed version, How do I set it to monitor battery usage and show w/c app is using the battery so much ?

i'm on jp6 and my gallery is eating up my sensor usage too ):
looks like I've got to restart everytime I use the gallery.

activate monitoring under "menu / settings tab"
then you can see look under menu/monitor and select history tab..
on top tab where it says plot you can select top apps.
/H

just a question. you guys that are experiencing the sensor issues, are you on jp6? could it be a jp6 issue?

Exchange email accounts are a huge drain to in Scandinavian Froyo
If you set up Exchange email accounts, setting the Email retrieval update interval to anything else than 'Never' results in a continious 10% CPU load, draining the battery two times faster than in Eclair 2.1
Set it to 'Never', or have Tasker kill the Email app x seconds after Display Off
Determined by using System Panel app.

I have notice a large battery drain overnight with the OFFICIAL samsung froyo JPO. I suspect it may be the gallery/sensor issue.
1 can anyone affirm this.
2 can we replace the gallery or fix it
tanks

JPA was better for me. With JPO I noticed that the media scanner would eat up the CPU all the time. It seems to get stuck on certain files more easily.

[HELP] Battery Drain, 35% drop in 10 hours

This has been plaguing my phone for a few months i can't even get 24 hours without it dieing. I can't figure out what the problem is and i have tried everything except a full wipe which i want to avoid.
Before i would get about 2 days with normal usage (few calls, browsing the net, msn, music and little bit of gaming)
Now when i unplug it at 7AM it is almost dead by 3PM (15%) but nothing has changed so i can figure out where the drain is coming from. I'm using Doc 9.6.6 (was on 9.1.4 and did a NO WIPE of 9.6.6 yesterday to see if i could get better battery) and SpeedMod K13C 500.
Everything that uses data is disabled or set to manual. Wifi is disabled, GPS is disabled, Bluetooth disabled. Google/Facebook sync is disabled. No Live Wallpaper, Email is set to NEVER, Fancy Widgets is set to NEVER. Reset the battery state in recovery numerous times, wiped cache etc.
Last night phone was at 60% when i woke up the phone was at 35% and that's only about 10 hours and after a FRESH shutdown and reboot. So nothing out of the ordinary like a game was running.
Whats Running after a fresh boot is in the pictures below, ending things like Tango and Galley, Facebook make no difference.
What is causing this massive idle drain?
If i need to do a full wipe is there a way to save my games saves? don't care for anything else just dont wanna start angry birds over again for a 3rd time.

You got 2 days before??
I've always only ever gotten max 12-14 hours out of my battery. Wifi off, bluetooth off, gps off, 3g on, background data & auto-sync on for: 2 gmail accounts + facebook (no auto refresh) + twitter (updates ever 30 mins) + whatsapp. BeejiveIM, GoSMS, Lookout, weatherbug elite widget (updates every 12 hours), agenda widget, NoLED on, and go launcher ex. Running stock rom JL2. Drains about 15% overnight (7 hours).
Not sure how you got 2 days before, but sounds about right to me that you get less than 24 hours from your battery.

Myself and many others get 2 days with light-moderate usage. I'm on 2 days 9 hrs and 10% left right now with 2 hrs 15 min screen time.
If you can't figure it out you might just have to bite the bullet and wipe it to see if that works.

yes i did try that, its annoying the hell outta me that it used to last 2 days but now its like this and thats with everything off.
I used to have a live wallpaper on all the time and yes that did drain the battery allot but i would still have about 30% after a full day of usage from a full change.
Now it dose not matter what i change if i live wallpaper or not its still dies about 3PM
any way to save my games says if i have to do a wipe?

That's awesome! I get 8% an hour drain on idle with 2 gmail accounts, and a few apps synching... with usage (bluetooth music, browsing, texting...) I have about 15% an hour drain.
Wiping, battery stats wipe, new roms, kernels, and modems don't fix anything... I guess we just have to accept that some units go through more battery than others!

If you're using Google Latitude service (configured via Maps), try signing out of it and see what it does for you. I've been suffering from excessive battery drain as well and after a lot of experimenting I've found out that using Latitude on Froyo ROMs (any Froyo) leads to phone not entering sleep mode properly for some reason and therefore draining battery a lot.
Nexus S users are experiencing this as well and I've even had confirmations from Desire users experiencing this, so this might be some bigger issue not related to SGS.

There's all the standard stuff running, gmail, swype, social hub, task manager, some other widgets, etc... There's no talk time on this run, it can burn it up pretty quick probably 20+% per hour.

Wow. I'm insanely envious of your 3days! and also, your display only sucks up 53%. Something is odd with my phone, my display usually takes about 98%.

No, no Latitude.
The display will suck up 90+% if you're using the phone alot since it burns battery much faster than idle or networks.

Interesting, I'm going to give it a go without Latitude on after I reflash stock JL2. My "Time on" for Display is usually something like 40mins or so when I check it at 98%

Idle drain seems to be what are most worried about.
Ok first fix permissions from cwmedia recovery in speedmod.
Then wipe cache and dalvik partitions, don't worry your phone will rebuild them.
Next I would try something if you want avoid a factory wipe.
Disable swype and clear app data then re-enable. Swype seems to have non wipe issues thru kies.
Now use OS monitor app to find apps which lurk in the background and then check their permissions, ones that can keep the phone awake are the culprits. Wipe their data or uninstall.
Facebook app sometimes doesn't shut down properly so watch that.
Also after a session I like to use clear mem level2 to stop Facebook or another app eating battery.
Finally what modem are you using? Jpy modem sucks for me at least. The latest jve from the gingerbread leaked rom is superb!
Hope this helps and good luck!
Stock JPY, Insanity SpeedMod OC-1200Mhz/UV, ext4, JVE gingerbread Modem,

Something I did a while ago seemed to help.
I ran down the battery till it switched off. Phone wouldn't power on. I plugged in the charger and powered on again. To my surprise the battery showed about 25%. Unplugged the charger then used it again till shutdown. Took about half an hour to do so, even though it was only connected to charger for a minute or so. Did that about 5 or more times till finally booting up with charger connected showed 0%.
Generally it not a good idea to boot with the charger connected as it stuffs up the battery stats or something, but I think in some cases it can help. Charged it to full and had no problems since.
Obviously this wont help if something in the background is killing the battery.

May be you have a task killer running in background and killing tasks that you shouldnt kill, by example any widget you have in your screen, it will cause that it will be reestarting and consuming CPU each certain time.

Remove TANGO !!! This soft was draining more than 25% overnight on my SGS (even if there's no service running and if it's not in task manager), After removing it, now my battery decreases 3-4% in 8h !

Funny Tango was the one thing that jumped out to me from the process list, but I don't have any experience with it myself. Shutting that off for a while is probably worth a shot.

This is my batterystats. "Taleanrop" is phonecalls or whatever the english term is.

[Q] how to enlarge the battery life

i've seen in some posts that the hd2 battery could take up to 3 days and loose anly 2% - 5% during the night ... well for me it's impossible ... my phone at standby eats 5% per hour .... i have 2 battery and thy drain the same ...i want to know if it's similar for everybody or just me ... and if there's any application or setting to make the battery life longer .

turn off bluetooth, wifi and data to conserve battery life
download currentwidget and see what the draw is on your battery when it is on standby

If you are on a Gingerbread build like I am, you may want to uncheck the Data Enabled box found under Settings/Mobile & Wireless Settings. I found just by unchecking this on the Pongster CM7 build I am on, it stopped the frequent battery spikes I was experiencing. Also, like the other poster said, turn off all active sync, WiFi, GPS Bluetooth, etc. if your build doesn't do already. Use Current Widget found on the Market to determine stand by battery drain. After I unchecked the Data Enabled box, I went from an overnight drain of 20-25% down to 3-4%. On the Froyo build looking at my wife's Android phone, you would uncheck Enable Always-On Mobile box. Hope this helps your situation.

..must be any third party app. My drainage is 2% in flightmode every night. Already tried to find out which app cause your drainage?...also your standby drainage is a bit high. Im losing 1mah per hour or less with data on.

A steady 1mA or less is virtually impossible with the HD2...let alone any phone.
But as a rule of thumb, Android should drain 2-9mA when in standby, it just varies by build, location, what you have installed, signal quality, etc.
Where I live, I have full signal but only Edge and I have data, bluetooth, gps, and auto sync on and I drain on average 6mA when in standby.
You either have Wifi on (it causes weird drain issues), bad signal or an app that is eating your battery.

of course i disable everything .....so if i go to setting/about phone/battery use may i see all what drain my battery or i have to get an application that can give exact informations ...

i installed the current widget and in the classic apprearence i see 204 mA and in the clear text apprence i see 204 mA with 89% in the battery. is it normal?

let your screen off for 2 minutes and then check your consumption with current widget(the widget should refresh the value every minute by default)
..so you can be sure that teh shown value is teh standyby value.
The standby value should be between 2-5ma.
When your screen is on it should drain between ~100 - ~300ma depending on your screen brightness.

i did wait for 2 mn and here's what hapend:
at 10:38. 59 mA
at 10:40. 58 mA
at 10:41. 354 mA
the battery went from 98% to 90% with 10 mn in 3G in about 30 mn
if u undestand please tell me

Maybe a little more information about what ROM you are using. There are quite a few experimental ones out there. I'm using CMYLXGO's Bluetopia usually, but I like to try different ones all the time. My battery is usually pretty good with about two days with medium to light use.

in about phone i see systeme android 57% than standby gsm with 17% ...
i'm using now hyperdroid v12 but i used rafdroid, coredroid, and cm7 and almost the same battery draining ...
i thought it's my battery but when i used another one i saw no diffrence
with heavt use i cant stand a half of day

Are you restoring a backup after trying a new rom?
...try with a clean rom without any apps installed.
Seems that an app prevents your phone to go to standby.

you right ... i did a restore i will try a clean install as u suggested and see the battery drain befor installing any application ...
i want to know if Clk or Magldr or the build version ( 2.3/2.4) have any realation with battery drain ...
i've read that the sense rom and rom based on hd build drain battery faster ... if u used much roms u would see that some roms use battery more than others ... so please i need a personal suggestion from u to use any special rom ( with fm radio if possible...too bad it dosnt work on hyperdroid)
thank u for ur support

[Poll] Battery Drain On Gingerdx

and tell us why your battery drain

Gdx is really sucking my battery,but u can install the supercharger script for longer battery discharge
Sent from my X8 using xda pertamax

wow
a lot people have battery drain

Yesterday, I've observed huge battery drain during the day .. about -15%/hour while doing some basic tasks on the phone (email, IM, inet browsing). Later, I've found out, that auto brightness was set way too high and had to manually decrease the brightness levels. After that, power consumption dropped to about -5-7%/hour while doing the same tasks as before. The display value in battery use menu also dropped from 70% to 30%.
The idle battery drain is OK... about -1%/hour with only GSM network on.
IMHO if your x8 battery is draining too fast, check doixanh's FAQ and then check the brightness levels...

Hi,
I'm afraid that the battery consumption is not related to GingerDX itself but to the additional software and phone usage.
In order to improve battery life in GingerDX do the following:
1. REMOVE or freeze Google Maps (ownhere). Use a different software instead (like maverick pro 1.94, which has google maps enabled and it is not consumig your resources)
2. Also, you may want to remove dsp manager (use the built in equalizer in your favorite music player instead).
3. Disable data MANUALLY. Use the built-in power widget to disable mobile data when you're not using it. Don't use automated 3g disable software because it will drain your battery too.
Your battery should last for 2+ days with normal phone usage. No need to mess with the good working autobrightness, you can leave it on.

FroyoBread:
1d 7h 29m since unplugged - 71% battery left
That's pretty good, isn't it? (Sorry for "offtopic")

hello everyone, i just think that battery callibration and some apps freezed is enought for the battery drain... some apps like gmail, maps, maybe market..
for me the battery drain is normal
i´m using gingerdx V011

Wow Still battery drain use this Doixanh Suggestion
Clear battery stats in xRecovery
Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
Don't set brightness too high
Don't install too many unused apps.
Turn off WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when unused
Turn OFF LED Succession. It's turned of by default, but maybe there are some people still leaving it on.
Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past) for me, even when I stopped listening to music.

Hi. Im using GDX v012 and I don't know if I'm having a battery drain..... in last night battery drop about 17-20% in standby... with all the things off (wifi, data, gps).
So, i went to check the graphs and i noticed that the cell was active during all night....
somebody can tell me why?
and second, maybe the battery drop a little faster because of my signal strength.. but not so fast....

GDX v012, DSPManager manually pushed back into the system and Google Maps + Streetview from the Market (can't live without it); apart from the apps I already had installed.
Depending on the usage of my phone (calls, WiFi, GPS) I get 1-3 days on a charge.
Mind you, I don't use the phone for listening to music or watching video [EDIT] or gaming; that's where my Liberty Tab G100 (mod-flashed into a Iconia A500) performs a whole lot better thanks to the Tegra 250 chipset and faster CPU [/EDIT].

I did a test and found that it consumes my battery is the signal strength that is weak in my location....
when i put my phone in airplane mode during all night, battery has not decreased even 1% ...
i have many apps installed, including maps etc etc

GingerDX v012
Yea, I kinda just upgraded to GingerDX v012, from v010. Somehow I missed v011.
Anyway, I realised that v012 drains my battery a lot more than v010. I wonder why.
Just today, in 3 hours of idle mode, my battery drained from 80% to 60%. That's alot o.o
Any tips on how to reduce this battery drain problem?

loving the ROM, but my poor battery!
This is my first post on this site. doixanh, you are a legend for making this rom available to X8 users. Its smooth and pretty. stock eclair can go in the rubbish with no reservations. When I first discovered just how limited it was I regretted buying my phone. Then I discovered froyobread (which I used for 1 day) before updating to gingerDX v13. Stoked!!!!!!! My battery drains pretty badly though. I have quite a few apps installed and use live wallpaper so I guess I can put up with it. I need my koi carp dammit! lol

My battery was draining 20% to 30% an hour on idle mode with bluetooth, 3g and wifi off. Turned on Airplane mode and now it drains around 2%-4%.
Any ideas on how can i improve the battery life without having to turn on airplane mode?

I tested it and got no significant results.
The change in values doesn't seem to improve battery life...

Using GingerDX 013, so far no battery drain. Yet i have noticed, that it's the cell standby that uses the most power. Although it drains 1% in 2-4 hours depending on quality of signal in my region. Usually everything's off and i have the supercharger v8 script installed. Also applied the smartass tweaks to save battery time as well. And i kill all unnecessary processes after using apps.
small update: Current uptime is 3d 22h as of this point and i still have 21% battery left. And i've drained over 15% when i was meddling with the supercharger settings. Otherwise regular use - phone calls, messages, some tinkering and wifi usage.
status update: standby was 4d 14hrs to 6% including the 15% drained when trying to set up supercharger. So it is possible it can do 5 days with small use and 6+ without any use at all.

HD2 Battery. Good or bad ?

Hi!
I installed NAND rom on HTC HD2. I have battery problems (I think).
I left it for sleep for 6 hrs. I turned of bt,mobile network wifi. He lost nearly 15% in that state. I received only one sms. I cant get battery through day. Is that normal or i have problems ? Also i would like to know is there any program to se battery wear out level like on laptops so I can know to replace it. Thanks in advance
Adition on battery stats now i have 12% 16hrs since charged 14.5 stand by 1.5 up time. Is this normal?

try controlling running operations at background. i use android assistant for this. use battery monitor widget for battery information and statistics. at sleep it should consume 2-6 ma. be sure auto sync is closed. control screen brightness, it eats battery very much. with some kernels after activating bluetooth it consumes 60 ma battery in standby until you restart. for good battery life prefer cm7 roms (i'm happy with hyperdroid

Use CurrentWidget from the Android market (free). Just put the widget on a homescreen, put the device to sleep then after a minute or two check the battery drain.
