EDGE Battery Drain. - Galaxy 3 General

Ok, so I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 ( GT-I5801 ) which I got like a year back....
I am running on Kyrillos' ROM v7.1 and overclocked to 1300 ㎒....
Governer : On demand.
Everything seems to be working fine except when I activate EDGE, my battery starts draining out rapidly....
And this does not happen when I am using WiFi....
I use Opera Mobile browser to browse Lé internet.....
But even using stock browser drains down battery while using EDGE....

1st try g3mod kernels..
If not helps try battry callibration..
if it still b there, then I must say it s a consequences of usin oc kernels for a long.. For that b in touch of mine..

Na....
I haven't been with OC kernels for long.....
I overclocked the first time 15 days ago.....
And my battery used to drain with EDGE even before I overclocked.....

I tried Battery Calibration, but that didn't help.....

Ok, so I charge my phone to 100%.
Then I start Opera Mobile and within 10 minutes of use it goes down to 90%
And after that in the next 10 minutes to 70%.....
I have tried rebooting the phone a thousand times, but that didn't help

Yes, to all of that....
But I charge only after it goes down to 5%.....
And it goes to 5% all the time after using Data Connection.....
I had gone to Leh-Ladakh a few days back and there was no coverage for Vodafone there, and my battery used to last for whole day on 100% with no use and 80% if I play games and stuff......
Yes, I live in a hot area....
And use Data Connection frequently....
Any solution?.....
WiFi drains out my battery very slowly BTW.....

There's about 2 solid hours of screen time there, I wouldn't consider that too crazy. Did your gf realize the screen was on all that time? Your idle drain doesn't look great, try better battery stats and/or watch dog (mixed reviews).
Sent from my Supercharged CM7 Atrix
Watchdog is awesome, a must have! But yeah if you haven't calibrated you need to.
Wifi + screen on = loads of watching YouTube clips online while many apps using wifi open will definitely kill your battery.

Yeah.. after root my battery has gone HORRIBLE!!!!! Every time I check my phone, I get my messages then + 10% each other time (like every hour)

CM7 + juice defender pro + misc power centric tweaks... My battery drains 4-8% at night, lasts all day with normal use. And then some.
Admitedly im a minimalist though. I tore out a lot of cm7 and its already core.
Toggle background data off when not in use too. There are a lot of smaller power tweaks though, its a science and takes tweaking.
Whip that power junkie 'rix into shape!
Ps: lol! And that gps youre running destroys power.

I had horrible battery life (10% every hour) as well until i flashed the latest Orange UK radio and all of a sudden my battery lasts for two days without charging. Note that wifi is off most of the time and u only use my phone to listen to music on the go, send txt messages all day long and at the end of the day i have around 70%+ battery left.

this time start use from93%
How much did you actually use your S2?
My guess is very little, look at the power use ratio of screen vs. cell standby, they are almost the same. Right my phone is 57% display vs. 3% cell standby.
This looks like barely open SGS2, no wifi , barely touched...
You have never touch your phone.....have you..?? Hey....enjoy your phone and have a normal life..........

Exactly, posts like this are tragic in my book, oh look how many hours i get, anyone can get that if you don't or barely use your phone.
Wow what a pointless first post.. Congratulations on not using phone..
Anyone could get battery life of xxx hours if they never use there phone, it's the screen on time that everyone cares about since generally people with such amazing devices rooted and pimped can't put there phone down...
I get 4:30 hours with CheckROM 4.0 and DK kernel, all values to stock... and that's with playing games! My battery is the stock one.
I guess with minimum brightness, underclock and undervolt and no games i can get 5+ hours but I wouldn't count that as normal usage either.
i charge mine everyday and always excited and looking forward to charging.

Fantastic....
If you wanted to buy a phone you aren't going to use and then brag about not using at all for 100 hours maybe next time you could review this?
Would make you look a fair bit less ridiculous, you would have got the same use out of it and would have saved you over £300...
The only great thing about having such a great battery life and not using your phone is if you end up losing it, which is unlikely if its lying there on the side all the time.. At least you know its bound to stay awake for a few days so you can send over Plan B and locate it. Funnily enough I went on a cruise this year, start of November and after 5 days of no use (being in the middle of the Ocean n all, i went to grab my phone from inside the suitcase to find it was still turned on, (i swore i turned it off) and the battery dropped no more than 40 percent. Was amazed to find it last so long, especially as i've not got the patience to leave it dormant for so long.
keep your galaxy off and the battery usage could be increased to a year lol
bought one of the best phone in the market and not using it all features? rofl
dont have what to say
This post is similar to "Hey look at my mileage of the car that is parked in the garage".
Kinda pointless imo.
Lot of comment you got there LOL
Mine are using about ½% per hour in standby (little sync, good 3G connection, no Wifi), so it might last for about 200 hours (8 days) ... if I ever should go into some kind of long lasting coma where I couldn't use my phone

Post your battery life!

Hi,
I know there are many galaxy 3 users, and some of them doubt their battery.
So i opened a tread, where you can post your battery life, with maybe a screenshot!
So you can see how long other users can do with their battery, and you can compare
This is my battery:
I got 5 days of use, without plugging it in.
Here are some screenshots of mine:

I'm running stock JPQ, without any tweaks. Just stock
I have a stock battery
good result
It lasted 44 hours with heavy usage(WiFi,Music,games,GPS...),with average it can go to 4 days without charging.
I'm on Destiny 2.1 ROM.
just a hint:
wouldn´t it be better to black out your phone number in first screenshot?
3-4 days with kyrillos10
Well i am getting a battery life of around 14-15 hours on a good day... Any suggestions?
Oh i am running Froyo Purumod...
Tried CM7 too... Without any avail...
With internet I used to get 15 hours with 2 hour of talktime.........always on 3G!
I get 16 hours on normal usage with CM7. Can you also post your calibration stats (use Battery Monitor for that). Mine is 4193mV at 100% and 3556mV at 0%.

better black out your IMEI number.
I will recalibrate my battery tomorrow after it's fully charged and post my results ASAP.
Mine scored 808 points in AnTuTu Tester (Battery Test):
I used Stock T-mobile HU 2.2.
...and finally a trick: if you want to make a screenshot like the first, open the AnTuTu app, hold the Back key pressed, tap on 'Battery score ranking', press Home, and then release the 2 hw buttons.
Edit: stock battery, the phone is 1 year old (I used it for a half year, but in the last half year it relaxed. )

What the hell??? Ok, u have to charge the phonte till 100% and then delete the file:

Clear Dalvik + cache and let it charge to 100%. OR charge it while the phone is off and do a battery cycle.

Thanks guys. The batterystats.bin file didn't work, also it's a new fresh install of AOKP so the whole data partition got wiped before installing. I think the battery got fried because it's way too hot where I live and the phone heated some times way more than normal.
I'm trying the charge withouth powering on now to see if it cures the problem.

With the phone powered off it didn't charge. If I turn it on it says 0% and then it ramps it up to 22 or any other value higher than what I think it really is. That's the spikes on the screenshot

Damn is my phone broken

So I bought the phone used for 350 USD. The guy claimed he only used it for two weeks.
Although the phone is great quality, but I think the battery is broken.
Its like drops a percent after other minute use. Anyone please confirm it it's not normal.
Do you know how can I log the battery usage?
Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100
From 100% to 70% for 4 hours, just chatting in Internet. Look log in "battery usage " where you can turn on/off "stamina". From 100 to 90 I drown fast. The most long battery life % when it is 60-40%
My phone drops a percent after 5 minutes from 100% and sometimes it takes less time .. but battery life is good

The problem is here when you buy the phone?Try to calibrate battery(there are a lot of methods). The older user probably used wrong his battery. Calibrate and try for another week ...and see the results Do you make a factory reset when you buy it? If you don't ...try it... sometimes factory reset fix batteries calibration problems Sometimes my battery drops like yours but depends what i do.
Yes i did make him do factory reset before I got it. But damn i rush i hadn't, i could have seen total run time.
I read on another thread where it said Facebook app drains battery a lot.
I haven't charged it to 100 percent yet. Will see how long it by doing it.
Uninstalling the Facebook app did make a difference.

Try a hard reset and then flash 4.4.4 again
You should confirm that if the phone is using stock firmware. or you should just flash the stock one by yourself. since you said USED phone.
also if it is battery issue. you should able to get a new one from ebay. and I think there is a video on youtube about open the back panel and change the battery.

Update
Just wanted to post an update.
The About information of my Sony device, non rooted and did complete up to date.
Right now I have it fully charged to 100 percent and have read a few calibration "How-to". I removed it from charged and rebooted the phone. I have install GSM Battery Manager as well.
I still don't know how I can delete battery stats and I think i can't considering the phone isn't rooted. I have stamina mode enabled + low GPU/CPU undervolting option in it.
Lets see how long it last.
