Eg22 battery life

Could be me but it seem like the battery drains faster with this rom Is anyone else noticing this?

I'd say it's similar to the other gingerbread leaks. Nothing as great as SRF 1.2 for battery life yet that I have come across.

Froyo had source to optimize, but you still should get good battery, you did calibrate right?

you could also be playing with it more

10 hours since flashing and at 49% now. (Started at 100%) Pretty good if you ask me.

I am getting random reboots and force closes. This sucks. Don't know what's wrong.

Srf was good for me too, but the best battery life I have seen is with marcusant's i3 rom. Haven't tried the new leak yet. Probably wait til acs does their thing with it.

Tell me how it goes. I care about battery life more than anything (that and gingerbread) for my phone.
I'm really hoping this one can bring the amazing battery life I got on EE03.

Did you restore data? I have used it all day and have not had one force close. Try to Odin again and if you restored data do it without restoring data.

RE: force closes, usually it means you restored apps or data that need to be reinstalled. If an app FCs, uninstall and reinstall it.
RE: battery life.
You can't make a judgement until you run a calibrate cycle and go through at least one charge cycle. Usually the first battery cycle on a new rom seems like really battery life, then things improve quickly. Since the rom has only been leaked for about 18 hours now I don't think anyone can give a useful opinion on battery life.

I just flashed from midnight 5.3 and everything is running a-ok here. Try wiping the unneeded files from your sd card and delete the default android files before reinserting your sd card into a newly flashed eg22 rom.

I flashed it at around 10am this morning, and with some pretty good, but not heavy use, I made it to about 6pm. When flashing this morning, I was around 92%. So yes, battery life is pretty good. Nothing will beat SRF, but now that I've tasted the gingerbread, I'm not sure I can go back to Froyo.
*Edit* Since being off the charger for 4 hours, and surfing the internet on both 3g and 4g, chatting on gtalk, multiple text messages, I'm at 76%. I'm impressed.

Overclocking

Im running CM7 with HighLeakage Glitch kernel.
When I'm plugged in to the charger, and Overclocked to 1.4GHz, my phone gets very hot. Should I lower the volts or the frequency?
And overclocking, if done right, wont damage the hardware? Like if their was not alot of heat?
Could I run 1.4ghz without so much heat? I have undervolted it -50mV volts.
Is it the high leakage?
What should I do?
Any input would be appreciated.

My phone runs really hot when using I heart radio and charging it at the same time...i'm also clocked to 1.4...since you are running overclock anything is possible but Samsung put code in their latest release for 1200mhz so I would say that is safe...also high leakage does emit the most heat since it is the least efficient..try running medium and low with the same overclock...it may help with heat

its too late this time, but remember that you can use the command 'reboot recovery' in adb to avoid having to do a full odin in most cases. I made a guide about getting adb up and running for noobs. You can find it in my created thread history.

there should be an entire explanation on what the different leakages mean. it'd be nice to read rather than guessing

Just a heads up, if you ask in our threads, then a developer can actually answer your question, as opposed to the users trying to help you. Especially since this is the third thread you've started with questions like this, almost all of which are answerable in my thread.

Charging my phone

Whenever I leave my phone charged overnight, I wake up to around 70% charged. It's as though once it reaches 100%, it stops "charging" and it starts using the battery's energy, rather than the AC. Any help?

What kernel/rom are you running. The only suspect is that your kernel does not have "trickle charge" in the new kgb kernel you have to enable this with the app.

Using pure stock, like you are, im not too sure why trickle charge isn't working. Are you against flashing custom roms/kernels?

Yeah its pretty simple man, find droidstyle's guide for roms and mine for kernels. That'll give you the info you need.

Is there any Custom ROM in particular that you would recommend?

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 and follow step 2, then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459905 readthrough the first part on TW kernels, choose one of the 3 custom kernels (not the stock one), best advice is to read the op of each one and find one you think will work for you. they are all three well written kernels. one is already oc'd to 1200, which means no need for voltage control if you plan to oc your phone. most phones are stable at 1200 but thats just from doing alot of messing around and odining. the second post is the instructions for flashing the kernel. the first post just explains all of them to the best i could w/o kanging any information from the op. i just ran what i knew off memory. links to each kernel's op are at the bottom of post 1. i did links to the op's instead of posting dropbox files due to the fact that I want people to make sure they know what features each kernel has before they download it.

I would give battery calibrator app a try. It could be that when you flashed your ROM, the battery stats got jacked up

The way I understand it is WIPING BATTERY STATS Is pointless, battery calibration however is recommended. Heard this on many tech podcasts.

They are essentially the same thing. Battery Calibration is wiping the battery stats and running the phone dead than fully recharging.
I have been having a very similar issue. A buddy of mine (captivate) and I found that the phone wont charge past 98% on CyanogenMod with the Glitch kernel. I set the phone to not lock and keep the screen on while charging and the problem went away. The phone also would not stay on A/C power after reaching 98%. This issue was fixed too.
I think its an inherent problem with the batteries on the phones, since the issue occurs on many different roms/kernels/phones.

whether it's caused by the phone, ROM, or kennel, battery calibrator is a simple app that is at least worth a try in my opinion

Very odd issue?

Recently every couple hours the phone runs at like 2fps. All animations run about that speed but don't freeze. It also causes my soft keys to stop vibrating on touch and accelerometer locks. Any ideas?

What rom are you using?
There is maybe somthing running in the backgroud which does that!

I wondered that but nothing was ever in the runnin list but nothing I stopped helped. If it keeps up I suppose i'll factory reset and then possibly sbf. On cm7. Flashin new nightly over didn't help. We will see.

Im running cm7 nightly now and not having any issues at all. does it happen at any certain time or after you use a certain app or something?

Usually happens after I wake the phone after a couple hours. Seems to have gone though.

I would say if it keeps up maybe try factory reset then if that don't help a sbf might be in order.

Ouch ... bump charge it and wipe battery stats in recovery. Or maybe even do a fresh install. Sometimes that will fix it

Stop spreading that freaking lie. Wiping the battery stats doesn't do anything. Besides it is wiped every time the phone is charged to 100%. Don't believe me. Look it up, a Google engineer has posted this along time ago.

Darn.. really? Then CWM should take this out in the features
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

WIping battery stats is useful when installing a new ROM, so it can measure battery capacity better (extreme tl;dr version). Install BetterBatteryStats and look for unusual wakelocks and processes. Report back with what causes the issue and we will see. If you could include screenshots of BBS, that would be the best

You don't get it do you? It is wiped when you install a ROM. It is WIPED when you charge to 100%. The batterystats.bin has no effect what so ever on your wake locks, battery problems, or anything else you think it is related to. All it does is report to the settings what has been using the battery.

You know there are nicer ways to tell someone that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything . If it doesn't do anything than it shouldn't be in the options...period. I was trying to be helpful and offer a suggestion..and it couldn't hurt to try.
.. so whats your suggestion so no more "lies" get spread??

CWM is largely generic, so the Battery Wipe option is there whatever device. It is a waste of Dev. time to remove/customise for every device.
It doesn't do anything... in this case. It may on other devices.
But this is largely OT now... so back in the room.

It doesnt do anything for any device. A long time ago it was thought to do something. But a Google Engineer said otherwise pubically.

Check that android.process.media is not running and consuming 20% of CPU cycles. This process always runs when you restart the phone as it scans the phone's internal and external SD card for media files.
