Plz DO COMMENT if u HAVE/HAD ABNORMAL BATTERY-LIFE..!!

hey guys i m having abnormal battery health...
battery ends in an hour..
nd it turns off in a very strange manner .. it nvr goes 0% wen it shuts down.. it turns off drctly from 80% or 50% ..
so i think it is a hardware problem.. may be it is d battery.. but i hav to b sure.. coz my battery warranty is not anymore but the handset warranty is..
PS: removing battery stats via cwm dsnt give me any notification.. it that ok?? or that means it s not wrking..

try to wipe battery stats with titanium backup or some other program (needs root i think) then fully charge and calibrate with battery calibration.hope it helps

DDJP4 is even poor... within 1-2 hrs after charging my phone and keeping it idle also makes batt level fall to 80%.. backup is hardly 10-12 huous.. battery calibration app did not help also but it actually work on other ROMs.. completely lost with this batt issue for moths now.. actually lleft with no hope........... :'(

try with kyrilos or sumee rom !!

Undervolting works wonders.

same with me fon suddenly switch off between 80 to 50 % battery and darining very fast during 3g or even 2g data on. it goes from 100% to switch of within 20 minuts, i think it is not hardware problem

switch to 2g and you solve that problem

thnk u guys fr ur cncern.. but i trd them all.. none worked...

i trd stock roms.. used old roms & kernels (coz wen i used them , there was no problem) .. but the problem is still there.. i m quite sure it s abt sumthing hardware.. jst dunno if it is battery or handset.. :/

i too have bad battery life , my phone only last 12hr max in idle mode when it is connected to 3g , i have tried battery calibration and other roms but they give me the same results .

Well, i'd suggest go for a new battery and try...coz 20mins battery life is not even possible when i had 1400MHz Performance, 2G connection always ON, then also i got around 10-12 hours...

I've got this battery draining issue too. :-\
I have it when the data connection is on. But when it's off, the battery drain is comparatively lesser.

umm actly with ur latest kernel 3-4hours with most minimal usage... oced to 1000mhz..

See if the battery is showing signs of heating.
I would also suggest, try it with another battery (U would be lucky if you have someone else nearby using SG3 whose battery you can try to check).
Normally, battery draining is not so much, especially on Stock ROMs with no over-clocking, other things remaining constant, especially since its a 1500 power batter.
Let us know what you did eventually.

Bro you did not mention if there is over heating in the battery?
Its very strange bro, i hope you are not overclocking your processor perpetually. you may try and for sometime, set cpu profile to something like 200-600 Mhz if using GMOd or 67-667 MHz if using Fugumod.
If its in guarantee period, then flash a stock ROM and give the phone to service centre, they would repair for free (as this type of issue may also happen with motherboard problem which is covered under warranty).
I am actually confused because, with the info provided, it can not be 100% ascertained if its really battery problem

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

Don't use extreme kernel .it damages ur battery. Try performance if u r looking for oc. And extreme is not a stable kernel.

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?

Thanks sir,
But today i found that my back cover is not shutting properly so i took my battery out for a while its sort of swollen at few places and that's the reason why i can't put the cover on properly.. asked few of the friends they said its gonna blast anytime.

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.

LG GT540 battery drain very fast

I have LG GT540 with android 2.3.4 cyanogen and the battery is just getting drain to fast ( its new battery) .when i go to battery use i saids that android system use 99-100% of battery waht its not normal ( my friend has about 7-8% use) and she last for 1-1.5 hours with normal work ,in idle about 4 hours till battery drops dead. Phone is getting to hot , i tryed to put others 2.3.7 and its same again what sholud i do.
solution i tryed: wipe battery stats -didnt help
going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 -didn help
PM me to see pic cuz i am new here so i cant post outside links at the moment.

Did you wipe data when updating to 2.3.7? If not, try it (maybe also without restoring stuff from backup, if wiping+restore does not help)

yes i always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache so tahts not issue,can i format SD card is she a problem maybe?

yeah same for me i am also using a rather new battery

The battery level stays on some percentages longer than others.

This may sound stupid but works
Charge it to 100% wipe the battery stats let it drain out then recharge it to 100 let it drain out again and then carry on as normal i do this before and after each rom and clear the stats etc before releasing each softmod my battery lasts on average 2-3days thats texting and 4-7 phone calls maybe abit of radio and checking email 4-5 times

1-2 is realy extrime, try wiping data and see how long it last without anything installed. If it still 1-2, there is hardver problem.

First of all swiftdroids battery is only supposed to last 1 day.. so use a differnet rom. Secondly check that ur CPU is on ondemand not performance .. cause sometimes u get the rom like that.

what worked for me
Hi
I wanted to thank for Zoe Rom on its thread, but i cant write on developer's threads yet (altough i clicked thanks button there).
Im glad i finally got rid of my memory hogging default rom and now i have a properly working phone again!
Also i wanted to reply there (to some people also complaining about battery endurance on GT540 on Zoe Rom) how i fixed my battery main problem.
Pic of current battery drain:
http://postimage.org/image/d8o8uusd7/
As you can see i am aproximatelly at 50% battery after 1day and 11h of not charging.
I had 2 problems:
1- Battery lasted aproximatelly 5 hours on standby (and i mean i wouldnt even touch the phone and the battery was gonne after that time)
2- During intense battery drain usage, the battery was reporting to have less energy than what it actually has.
1st problem solved by simply turning off the wireless after im done with using it. No idea how could that be taking away so much energy, but it was. Somewhere during the period i was using my default rom i got used to have wireless always on, and my battery on the later times was going away faster than normal (i also like to listen to music on the phone). At the time i didnt correlate the 2 things, and i just put in my head that it probably was the battery dieing on me. It wasnt! The wireless (i suppose because of the Sync function also being on) has been draining my battery like mad between charges.
2nd problem persists. As you can see on the pic, those 2 spikes down correspond 2 diferent aproximatelly 1 GB file wireless transfers with Wifi File Browser app. This transfers (PC->Phone) make the phone CPU have to unzip the two 1GB files to the SD, so they are very CPU and SD card read/write intensive (i can force this battery drops with other instense battery use like playing a 3D game for example). The thing is if during that temporarly drop on the battery level measurement, the level hits 5%, the phone will shutdown. But to be honest, this problem is minor comparing to the 1st one.
There is one other minor problem with my battery, wich is the reading being inconsistent (drops 10%, then gains 15% then drops 5% again etc), but is this a problem at all?
I read a post of a guy that had made extensive testing to his battery cycles, providing loads of graph of battery levels (cant find link) . I didnt read through all of it, but i remember the guy saying something in the end like "Dont be too paranoid with your battery levels, as they arent accurate. Instead use your phone normally and you will gain an idea of how long will it last with certain types of usage"
By the way, he also said for people to just charge their battery whenever they could/wanted as it has no negative impact on battery life. I also read a bit of a paper on lithium-ion batteries stating the same, so no more forcing full-discharges for me!
One last thing! Deleting the batterystats file is as simple as disconnecting your phone from the charger.Why? because that file serves solely the purpose of suplying the UI with info of the battery drain usage on the current battery cycle.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And you can confirm this if you unplug your phone while looking at yout battery stats.
I hope this helps
PS: pls notice that it could have been not the wireless itself that causes the battery drain, but some service using the wireless. Finding this would require more extensive testing.

Some people says that this does not work, but it worked for me. This procedure extended m battery life from 5h to 2 days..

Update
Hello again
I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.
Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.
I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol
With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.

I've have had similar problems with the battery on my GT540 with all cyanogenmods - 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2. There were no such problems with original 2.1 I think it is the price for the newer versions, I can live with that, I don't have to buy new phone

Maybe ur need to wipe data/cache
if not solved maybe ur battery its too risk
Sorry for my bad english

Now this particular problem might be caused by -
- Custom Kernel - Not fully stable or the Governor and schedule not set right or the governor set at Performance ( which accelerates the phone , but drains the battery)
- Battery is broken
or
- The socket through which you usually charge your phone might be sending off excess of charge through charger which might be damaging your phone
Solution
Buy a new battery
Us some other kernel

Try first using your original charger and see if thats the problem. If not, try using a different kernel (I would suggest Hells Fusion #50, its stable & bugless) or go back to stock kernel to test. if still no, try reverting to stock ROM (& stock kernel). If still doesnt work, its probably the battery.

and battery drains out very fast as well ... i dont have any service started like just basic internet and sound (not on silent or vibration)... like usage n all is same as earlier but draining n charging have changed soooooo much :|

it happened to me, and installing a new kernel solved my problem.

Try to switch on stock rom with kernel and use for couple of days, calibrate battery and use galaxy charging current app to see how much current (ma) u r getting from charger.
Hit thanks if it helps

Change the data cable. It is the datacable.
Download Galaxy Current Charge App and see the stats for yourself

Yes..get a heavy duty datacable..might be due to rough use the fibers broke or something
I use my phone with a bb datacable..and it gives me 1400ma.
460Ma comes when you charge from a laptop or computer. See if in the battery option it comes usb or ac?

Max means the maximum charging requirements. :/ How can a benchmark possibly change with chargers..
The falls shall occur after refreshing it...because even a machine needs time to calculate bro.
Try a new data cable and see the results yourself brother. You can find them on flipkart at heavy discounts.
Plus the battery option is in settings--->more--->Battery.

ok got u .. changed the data cable n this one gives me 1200ma but charge rate is same like earlier as well it charges 1% battery in 3 mins n now also same 1% in 3 mins ...
i think i should try changing charger as well but try kernel changing first

No need for the kernel change brother..
Callibrate it..callibration is like charging till 100% and emptying the battery till the phone shuts itself.
Repeat this 2-3 times..
There are many battery calibration apps too try them as you already have root..
Everything shall be fine..
And for now..pull the battery out..wait for 10 mins till all the phone gets cold.. turn it on again...and then charge..
