HI XDA,
My friend have a galaxy s i9000 international version.He was on 2.1 few weeks ago.
He is upgraded his phone to 2.3.3 JVH via KIES.
And then battery draining beggins.He has to recharge the phone every 6 hours.Butt after 10 days everything is ok.Now he can play with the phone for 3 days.He didn't do factory reset,nothing that it's recomended to do in this situation.
How?I don't undestand.
Thanks in advance
the battery recalibrated ...
battery recalibration occurs after 2-3 recharges
It could also be due to a well known gb bug, which causes intermittent battery drain problem, if this is the case it will show as heavy usage by android os in your battery stats

Privacy -> Back up my data
If you look in settings -> Privacy -> Back up my data is it checked? You might want to try unchecking it if it is.
I had all sorts of horrible battery drain from this being on while having poor signal at work and the phone constantly looking for a better data connection to sync over. I only realised this could be a problem after I got some fair usage warnings from my operator. Did a google for the cause of the excessive data use and found this option. Turned it off and my phone went from sometimes discharging faster than it could charge and dying in a couple of hours to lasting over a day.

Hello Everyone!
I made this thread hoping I can shed some light to those getting very poor battery life. I was also getting very poor battery life, till I went and exchanged my phone for a new one. If you're getting very poor battery life (even after wiping your phone or installing a clean firmware), there is definitely something wrong with your phone or your battery.
I own a i9000m bought from Wireless Wave. I've unlocked the phone and am now using it on Rogers.
My previous phone, I was draining 25% of my battery to just get through 6 hours of standby while I slept. I had juice defender on and autokiller memory optimizer. I turned off all syncing and didn't even use a live wallpaper. My phone was rooted and also had lagfix (which I soon removed). One thing I do remember doing is not charging to 100% when I first got the phone. I did accidentally let it drain to 0% cause I had to use it right away.
After exchanging for a new phone and charging it to 100% right away, I was getting the following results. I have juice defender and nothing else. I changed my band to be WCDMA only. I even have a live wallpaper on. Last night my phone idled for 9 hours and it only drained 2%! Last night going out, I had a moderate to heavy (fbook, 3g, gps, text, youtube) usage pattern on my phone and it only drained 40% after 6 hours of use.
I don't know what else to say, but I'm letting those with battery problems know that the SGS is capable of great battery life. And if all your optimizing and tweaks aren't doing it, then you may want to consider exchanging for a new phone if you still have warranty.
I have a great battery life too in my device compared too the another smartphone i used in the past and now compared to Ip4 and N8 in this devices the bat drain is much higher. So im positive surprised with
the galaxy battery performance, i only use the push email everything else is turned off, livewallpaper and so on..

My phone came with JM7 firmware. My battery life is just excellent, not needing a recharge before a few days with my use
Running JPM here, with darkyy's raw metal ROM, my battery life went up by at least 40% - %50. I was losing 1% per 5 - 10minutes of usage, now its more upwards of half an hour of usage.
I think the phone has very good battery life if you understand what can cause battery drain and adjust it accordingly.
I am now gettining 5% drain per 24 hours on (almost) standby. This would give me about 20 days of standby which is crazy.
Here is my setup:
UK 16 Gb Galaxy S with Eclair JM6 and Voodoo lagfix
Set network to GSM (2g)
Disable internet usage (with APNDroid)
Disable WIFI, Sync Off, GPS Off (with power widgets)
Just before I go to bed, I run Advanced Task Killer and kill anything that doesn't need to be on memory (inlcuding Advanced Task Killer itself).
Using your phone WILL spend a lot of battery. Browsing the internet on 3g is a battery killer. This means that if you do something on your phone that maintains an active 3g connection, it WILL drain your battery in about 3-6 depending on your 3g coverage.
WIFI is better, but again you are looking at something between 6-12 hours of continuous usage, so make sure you only use it when you need it.
Finally, if you need to have your emails the instance they arrive, go for a blackberry because it has the only way of pushing email without maintaining a constant data connection.
I don't need this so I am extremely happy with my phone and the battery life I can get out of it.
I hope this helps.
Have my phone set for 2G with wifi always on.
Use wifi at home.
2G is enough for all normal syncs, and if I need more speed for anything else I temporarily switch to 3G for that.
This way a single charge last me well over 24h under normal usage. Don't even know exactly how much.
With the phone set to 3G, the same usage patern will eat a full charge in something like 8h.

JPM Rom with everything except bluetooth turned on my battery lasted 3 days with low usage (skype a few times and some phone calls and a bit of wifi web-browsing.)
Much better than my wife's iPhone 4... Normally charge it every 2 days.
I am very happy with the phone, just a couple of bug fixes and I would really like it if Swype did some level of contextual checking of words to help minimise unnecessary corrections (perhaps they do already, but it is certainly not well implemented/sophisticated enough).

Which ROM was on your old SGS and which one is on the replacement?

Eclair for both. No Froyo.
what i wish to have is greater control over the phone, more easily.
Some kind of powertop GUI that let you see the power usage per process.
So you could plain uninstall apps installing ****ty services consuming the battery.
Likewise i'd like *real* control over which background services are running. I mean running an auto killer wtf? Horrible design!
I just want to switch off a service and that it doesnt start again 5 min later thank you very much.
Even the task manager is quite bad. You see last started apps but you don't know which one is running right now. And if its running and backgrounded since a while and you started other apps.. it might very well not even show up in the list anymore. Horrible design again.
Saying all that because stock the phone battery is excellent, installing a couple of popular apps kills it..

Thanks for your prompt reply. Could you check it more precisely on your current SGS? FYI: Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version and Build number or "call" *#1234# -> PDA, PHONE, CSC version numbers. Thanks in advance.

Sure thing. And thanks. KIES offered an update from JM1 baseband and JM2 build version. We'll see how the new ROM performs in about 3 days. Unfortunately don't have spare time to do that sooner. I suspect there's huge difference within the baseband versions.
hey guys.
i have galaxy s i9000..i also had problem of battery.my battery would hardly last 24hrs...i even switched to gsm only mode n switched off sync.but still had same prob..few days back i installed JPJPA firmware..now its wroking fine.lasts more than 35hrs...n also battery charges quickly
Is it possible that the reading on the phone is wrong? When you say you are getting 24 hours are you letting it run flat.
Alternately is it saying the battery is running low and you recharge before it goes flat?
Just wondering if the meter is simply giving incorrect information.
Been 24 hours since last recharge. Lost 6% so far. Running JP6 Froyo. Rooted. Network Data Off. During this 24 hours, just used Angry birds-30mins and ColorDict 5mins. Haven't installed any unnecessary app.
Had lost 1% on standby after 14hrs with no usage. Thats amazing. Very Happy user.
Also want to tell u guys that GPS with active Data connection and Google Maps running and display on took approx 1% of battery every 3mins.
Impossible using stock battery, this phone draws a minimum of 10% battery per hour the screen is on. Its more likely 15-20% with most peoples phone.
Your battery meter may be inaccurate, for example after flashing once my battery stayed at 100% for hours then suddenly shot down to 20%

I use "Battery Indicator" to check my battery status.
My screen is set to turn off and lock after 30 seconds of idling. So it is quite possible to achieve the standby times listed.
Hi, how long do you have holding time of battery, when you are using wi-fi? (browsing)
Hey guys, i have a problem concerning the battery life of my HTC Hero with FroydVillain 1.7.3 (Android v2.2.1)
In the last couple of days my battery goes down by 10-12% per hour without even touching the phone. I tried factory reset, wiped sd card and reflashed, flashed CM7 but still the battery issue didn't go away.
I charge it 100% before i go to bed at 11.30 and when i wake up at 7 the phone is completely powered off..
The thing that consumes my battery is the process "Android OS". I read about it on the internet, but all threads were SGS2..
The strange thing is that it's CPU usage time according to the battery stats is 1h 21m after 3 hours of sleep.. Is this normal??
I have everything turned off - wifi, gps, mobile data, auto sync, background sync and still the drain continues.
Has anyone had this kind of issues and possibly a solution?
Or should i buy a new battery?

I have also been experiencing battery issues with Froyd lately, but not to the same degree as you are. My solution was to wipe and install another 2.2.1 based ROM. This new ROM is acting normally in terms of battery life.
With Froyd, my battery was acting "weird" in terms of overall battery life. Once I got about 3 good discharge / charge cycles in a row things seemed to improve.
Another thing to consider is did you recently install any new apps? Some apps don't play nice and cause the phone to not enter sleep state OR cause excess CPU usage.
Some people might say "wipe battery stats" but some Google Engineer / Developer has recently dispelled that myth... https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
Good luck!
It's not from any app. Last night i wiped my sd card, wiped everything from recovery and flashed Froyd. I used it all day without installing anything besided battery graph to monitor my battery usage. it's something from the OS itself i guess..
The funny thing is that it seems that in the past two hours the drain has disappeared and now the battery is reducing by ~1% per hour and i haven't done anything during that time, except 2 calls under a minute each and 1 sms.
How old is ur battery? Did you consider that it might be physically related? Not because of the processes or so?
One more thing I noticed - if I charge by ac outlet, it charges faster, and lasts longer, if I charge by computer usb port, it charges really slowly and battery drains way faster... I don't know about battery life, maybe from ac outlet it dies faster, but 2 years of using it and still 1.5 day of normal use...
Thanks for the replies guys! I found the problem, it was my radio.
I flashed the latest radio and now my hero's battery life is better than before!

Looks like you have a battery problem. OS does not really kill batteries, you can see more or less the same performance if there are no background apps eating your power.
Check these batteries for your Hero. These are top quality and many users vouch for them.
HTC Hero Mugen Power batteries
@saj222 i'm now running the same radio as the one in your signature. before that i was with 09.05 or sth like that..
@porcupineli my hero is second hand with about a year of usage before me. i have it for about 2 months now. Since the phone costed me $90 i don't think i can pay $70 for a battery.. I was thinking of buying this one
ebay (dot) com/itm/2600mAh-Extended-Battery-cover-HTC-Hero-G3-White-GSM-/250892692348?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6a5eab7c#ht_1230wt_1139
Is it any good?
Is there anybody else with this problem.It started monday i turned my phone on but it didn't start.The battery was 0% while i shutted it down with 78% of juice left.I charged the battery but it drains down real fast!Even with the screen off at night and no wifi or edge/3g/4g i still lose about 10% every hour!
I've used the note for two weeks without any problem.Rooted with Xposed Greenify and most of the bloatware disabled.Same setup as my Notepro 12.2 and galaxy mega(no problems with those devices).Battery life was pretty good about 5 a 6 hours of screen on time.
Tried better battery stats but no particular wakelocks or anything??I've ordered a new battery and that will arrive tomorrow.I can do a test then if it is the battery or the phone which is causing this problem.
It's a note 4 910c.
I have similar problem with my 910C...Everything was ok for first two weeks and problems started when I enabled LTE at my mobile operator. No matter what I do, I have huge battery drain like you said. I've also tried with disabling 4G/wifi/data/sync/airplane mode/removing apps... I even tried factory resetting 2-3 times and flashing stock rom via odin...Nothing helps...
I'm looking around on various note4 forums but I'm getting out of ideas...
I had an initial battery drain issue which ive managed to resolve. Took a few factory resets but for me it looked like the galaxy apps ap. Once you open it a single time it updates a few things and thats when i started to see wakelocks. Ive reset and avoided the galaxy apps completely and now wakelocks have gone. Might be a placebo but seems to work for me.
I have 2g,3g and lte enabled.
Oke i enabled 4g from the first time i used it so i don't think that is the problem.I was thinking about a factory reset but i'll wait with that untill i tested the new battery.
Will give a update tomorrow!
I had the same problem after one week of normal use. It was a hardware issue and the service center changed the phone board under warranty.
Well tried a brand new battery but still the same!Lose at least 10% every hour and i am not even touching the phone!!Sending it back for another one.
It's happened to me once but touch wood only once where I lost 70% overnight in airplane mode
Could be the media scanner? I was having media server and scanner drains until I installed a custom rom and disabled it.
All of a sudden, my S5 has started experiencing quick battery drain when wifi is turned on. If I turn wifi off, I get very good battery life.
Any advice?
Same here. Suddenly started on android 5 with custom rom.
Till now I have reset/factory reset, try another rom, try back to stock but still not working.
When I turn wifi on an there is a huge drain. I'm talking about 100-0 in just 13h without usage.
If just mobile network is turned on everything is allright and there are three days battery life.
I have watched with battery doctor etc for some reasen but there is no awake or something.
In battery usage there are missing 80% of used battery just don't listed.
Sounds for me like it's an hardware issue?
Thanks for any help
Sorry for bad english
Has anyone else noticed battery drain after the most recent security update?
My 6p also seems to have issues locking on to the carrier network...
seriously considering a downgrade....
Just changed my battery about 2 weeks ago and was getting phenomenal battery life, and have pretty much immediately noticed a difference...
yes. I have just replaced the battery in my 6P this Monday. Battery wasn't lasting half of a day with average use.
The drain seems diminished since the new battery, but not by a lot. It also still heats up more than it ever did.
(this is my second 6P... the first one was traded in under it's original two-year warranty when this behavior turned from annoying to the phone being completely useless. It would have an apparent "rapid drain" and shut down spontaneously, and on reboot, the battery would show just about where it was before. It could be as high as 40% and exhibit this behavior.
I love this phone, but it's rapid deterioration is making it just another heap of very expensive toys with a planned obsolescence. Disappointed in Huawei and Google )

My sister's 5X (same gen as 6P of course) now has the problem.
Under Settings > battery & developer options > active services it's not really clear what's happening.
It could be Device Health Services (logs battery usage), or com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel, but you'd think such a thing ought to be active all the time (RIL is for baseband, the cellular network modem)
It might also be that the banking app that uses NFC gives a problem. But killing that app did not drastically reduce the temperature of the phone.
Same thing, was thinking my battery was beginning to fail. If someone finds a fix, please post it here.
I have crazy battery drain on WiFi.
I tried to boot on Safe Mode and still the battery drain was present so it's safe to assume it's not some app that's causing it.
I also thought this is my battery going bad but when I switched to 4G the battery drain stopped and my battery life became as it used to be.
AccuBattery reports 92% battery health which is darn good for a 2 year old phone.
The battery drain happens only on WiFi.
Tried LineageOS 2 weeks ago and still same battery drain on wifi.
This drive me nuts.
I tried going back to september security patch after I faced this issue as there was no problem at all regarding battery life before updating, but it did not improve the now worst battery life. Standby is very good, not even single percent drop overnight.
Same here on my Nexus 6P, this was caused by November 5th 2018 update. I was getting 3 days of battery life with my usage, and after this update I get ~12 hours with almost NO screen time. Google needs to fix this.

I have noticed exactly the same after the November update. For example, yesterday morning I charged the battery to 100%, this morning it was down to 52% with hardly any usage. The battery used to last for 4-5 days with pre-November OS versions.
I have yet to try with WiFi turned off. I'll re-charge the phone soonish and switch wireless off to see if it helps.
I found a way to recover ~60% of usage time:
Settings > Location > Scanning > Wifi & Bluetooth Scanning OFF
Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Automatically Select Network OFF + Select your primary network manually
Settings > Google > Nearby > Turn off
With that I have 80% of my pre-november update battery capacity. If anyone can help me complete this answer, this would be highly appreciated

I did all these, force-stopped a few apps which were showing in the battery stats and re-charged back to 100%. This seems to have helped. It's now been 22 hours and the battery is showing 80%.
Yep. I had this issue with oreo. Only way i solved it was going back to nougat. I did a fresh installatiom of it several times and everything was laggy and i immediately noticed the battery drainage too. I went back to nougat and everything worked smoothly, battery was lasting a lot longer too.
Any comments on December build battery life?
