Hello to everyone, and excuse me for my bad English. I would know how I can save my battery life, because its energy becomes empty in a little time.
And which applications and games have you installed? Have you rooted the phone? Thanks

maybe try juice defender!
wipe the battery stats???
the battery life of my flipout was okay until now! since i deleted juice defender the battery is empty after less than 24 h?
is there any chance to wipe the battery stats?
i know this solution from the lg gt540. there was this option in the bootloader! before you do that u have to charge the mobile over the night and then u have to wipe the stats!
Hi,
Check the Battery calibrator on market, I used it a couple of times...
As for enhanced battery life, this is what I am doing:
* Data on demand only, I m using the "DataSwitch" to kill the 3G ..
* I installed the "SetCPU" and set the CPU to 125Mhz when the screen is off (so to conserve more battery)
If I don't make calls , using mainly SMS..sometimes very low browser/email (around 30min) the battery can last over 2.5 days (48hrs, airplane mode on night 00:00-> 09:00) sometimes more (3days) (if I use the airplane mode more often (ie on bus/train))
thank you!
is there an app to set the airplane mode automatically?
i don't know.. I have a shortcut on desktop (motorola widgets--> Flight Mode Toggle) , alternative , while on desktop, press 2-3 sec the power button , a menu will appeared "Silent mode / Flight Mode / Power off"
but I prefer the flightmode widget..
anyway, I think there are some apps that schedule the flight mode (eg during night times)

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Jade. I've charged it last evening and I've barely used it. When I've went to bed it was 96% charged (ARIELbattery) and 10 minutes used.
This morning, when I've woke up, The battery was 33% and and the phone was 34 minutes usage time.
Something is wrong. Since there were no bluetooth, no wifi, no anything activated. And for sure, nobody played with the phone during the night.
This is not the first time when I see this behavior, but is the first time when the decrease is so big.
I suspect an app, but I do not know which of them. How can I see it?
Do you have other suggestions?
thanks!
There are some possible reasons:
Some SD-Cards seem to drain battery, so you can take it out for a test.
Some additional software is told to drain battery. Did you install something?
It is also helpful to switch to "flight-mode" over night. This normally reduces battery drain to nearly zero, if no additional consumers exist.
Hi,
Yes I've installed some software, like gAlarm, S2U2, icontact,ThumbCal, Skype, etc but last night none of them was started.
What can I do with the SD Card?! I need the SD-Card. Which card does not drain battery and which does?
I cannot turn off the phone over night.
Some clues here in this forum

I've read those before posting, but there was no answer to my problem. I have 67% drop of battery in 8 hours without touching the phone.
This is most likely that your device goes to screenoff or unattended power state instead of sleep. Your power settings might be corrupted. To change that go to your power settings advanced tab and change everything there (checkboxes and sliders), press ok and then change them back as they were, press ok. I'd suggest to keep the device turning off in one minute while on battery and none of the checkboxes for cord powered mode. There is a really freaky thing that even if you get your device to sleep with power button it will go back to screenoff mode after time specified by the turn off device slider while on battery IF you don't have that turn-off-while-on-battery checkbox checked there.

Thanks for the answer. But I do not really understand what you are saying here.
My power settings are: 30sec for Screen Light and 1 min for Device (on battery).
None of the check boxes is set for the case when the device is powered.
It could also be due to the battery defect. After some time the battery could lose its storage ability (because of the defect), despite the mAH stated.
As a comparison, my battery is nearly one year old. On full charge, overnight drawdown (on sleep mode) is about 2%-3% .

I have no own experiences with this programs but Skype for example needs permanent connection to internet when activated (be care of the background job!). This uses data connection and this drains battery. I can not quantify this in %. In addition Skype does not allow the system to switch to deep sleep because it needs permanent connection!
None of the app was started. I just have Skype installed, but it was not used.
Uninstall S2U2 !!!!!

I found some German threads that discuss a problem with this software and battery life. Some loose 10% over night others 50%. I think you should try to uninstall (and afterwards soft-reset!) for a night and see what happens.
Please keep us informed.
First of all, I've disabled the 3G. Now it only gsm with gprs. Since I've done this it seems the battery drop is ... super ok. If yesterday morning I've had 33%, this morning I've had 20%, so 13% drop in 24h, and the phone was used normally as before.
last night the S2U2 was not started.
I will wait until the battery level reaches 10% an I will do a full charge.
I will keep you informed. Thanks to all for advices!
Some clues here too ...

Hi,
So now, 2 weeks later... after setting my Jade to GSM only (no 3G) I get 7-8 days of normal usage. As I said, before I always had to charge it the third day.
Normally, i get -28mAh drain in standby. When the screen is on around -130mAh (for wake up) and then -70mAh. In a gsm call i get around -250mAh.
I did not switch the phone back to 3G yet, but I will and I will see again the battery drain.
PS: the values were provided by Mobadi.
i believe i have S2U2 installed... and my phones fine!
i have the overloaded rom... and battery life seems great only needs charging every 3 or so days and i do use it quite alot!
so...
after some time of testing and re-testing I still have, from time to time, the behavior that during night I see a massive drop in battery level and an increase of the usage time.
I do not know what is going on, but I suspect that some app is waking up the device to do some work (without turning on the screen), and the Jade cannot go to sleep anymore for a while.
I've notice the same behavior on a HTC Diamond 2.
Since none of the app I have installed on my Jade are installed on my friends Diamond2, I have no idea what app could do that.
If anybody has any idea, feel free .... I am idea-less!
I've made myself a little application to log the current values of the power data. So, I've saw that my phone wakes up each hour by himself, without turning on the screen, does some work (cca -70mA) and after 30sec goes back to sleep.
Any ideea about this?
Hi all. Here's the thing. Yesterday i've charge my galaxy (up to about 90%) set up alarm for morning, and going to sleep. In morning my battery was empty, i don't have idea why, because i push power button to "sand-by" on my phone in that night. What's the deal? Stand-up time was about 7h - is there any fix for that, or maybe it's some kind of bug? Oh that was my first stand-by mode for so long time (phone is pretty brand new, about 3 days from purchase)
Few words about phone:
-i9000XXJF5
-no root, flash, and any modyfication
-in phone i have about 20 instaled apps, 4 widgets on
-no task killer
-about 3 days from purchase phone
-home screen set on LauncherPro
Any advise guys?
Sorry for my english.
There must be some app draining your battery. My SGS usually drops only 4% in battery percentage during the night (I turn of 3g at night using SwitchPro, and I'm on JM2).
Have you installed the latest Facebook for Android app? It drains battery a lot because it keeps the phone awake 100% of the time. Uninstall it, or at least Log out from within the app, so that your phone can sleep in idle mode.
Yes... the problems of Android... I use CPUMonitorMini to keep an eye if any apps go rogue and start hitting my CPU 100% and draining my battery dry.

No i don't have this app. Maybe the problem was autosynch option ON.
I have recently installed an AmeriCanAndroid on the SD card. My problem is that the it drains the battery really quickly. Last night it had 84% battery power and 10 hours later it had just 20%. I had the wifi turned off and also I have ticked the use only 2G option. I have even disabled the background data option. The widgets that I have are fancy widget for the weather and clock, a battery widget and two for calendar and to-do list. Is there anything I can do in order to prevent it from draining so much battery power when it is idle besides turning it off?

did you already checked your standby drain with current widget or something similar?
If not: download it form market and place a widget on your homescreen, now turn your screen off and wait for about 2 minutes (it refreshes every minute, but to ensure, you get the correct value, wait a bit longer than 1 min).
After waking up the phone, the value you see represents your standyby drain.
Normal value on nand build is 2-5ma...on sd build perhaps a bit higher.
In settings->phone info-> battery you can see which application drains the battery most.
If its a third party app, try uninstalling it.
You can check also with spare parts (also free) if a app prevents your phone to go fully to standby:
open spare parts->battery usageartial wake usage
A lot of people are saying that you dont need a task killer in android.
...but for me its important to know by myself which application is still in memory, and which not.
Using this task manager:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhythm.hexise.task&feature=search_result
...For all third party apps that dont need to run in background I kill them on screen off.
All services/apps (e.g. alarm, profile switcher, launhcer, widgets etc.) and system apps I set to the ignore list: ensure, that you uncheckin settings to kill also the ignored apps.
sd build drain battery more than nand build ...but there's some tricks for sd builds to reduce the consumption ...
The graph with the battery usage shows that the gsm connection with the cell took 29% and the phone being idle - 28%. So my question is more like is there some way of putting the phone in a less power consumtion idle mode, because it's kinda annoying to go to sleep and wake up to see your phone is not switched on :/

sry, but there have to be an app, that acts not normal. Did you followed my tipp in the 2nd post?
..to prevent data/cell usage over night, you can go into airplane mode to save some battery. turning airplane mode on will save about >50% overnight.

First of allI would say that your active GPS is a high battery drain so I would turn it of and see again if the battery drain is still that high.
Thnx turned off GPS and restarted phone now it's fine 85% from 100% in five hours with moderate use.
So is my GPS app is faulty?
I use maps a lot so how do I keep my GPS on but without this issue, my GPS was on from purchasing time but nothing like this happened.
Hoping for a permanent fix.
Once again appreciate the prompt help.

it's hard to answer your question without any other details. do you use any widgets? any apps that might cause waking of the device? use apps that could show the wakelocks during deep sleep
I use the s health, the clock and calender and the track id however I went back to the store even after reset the issue was there They said I can change the fone but didn't have the black color ( white to me looks tacky) so I got the m8 instead. Thnx for the help.

change location service mode to power saving when not using maps, change to gps only when you need. Turn off bluetooth and wifi tethering. Switch to HSPA when you're using map because you don't need lte speed.
Here is how I have set up my radios to save power .
First u need llama and secure settings app from play store both are free apps
Basically there is 2 parts. Refer to the screenshots
1) HTC Power Saver. This mode is under power saver not to be co fused with deep sleep mode .
The Power saver terminates data connection after the screen goes off for 15 minutes . Now we want this to immediately go off instead of waiting 15 minutes .
So this is how I have set it up
Open llama create a new event condition screen off action run a local plugin - secure settings - custom Rom actions - HTC Modes . Make sure it is enabled , press save and back to llama , save llama event
2) extreme power saver mode .
This is new mode in sense 6 roms
However this only works when the battery reaches a low percentage or u have to manually turn it on. Now we want this to turn on by itself after xxx minutes . In this case I have set it to 40 minutes .
So i have created another thread as this
For this pls refer here for the steps :

Ok...just report in later
I have seen that Extreme power saver mode consumes more battery than normal mode. HTC have made a mess of extreme power saver mode in last update.

Hmm why do u say that.....
Which update and Rom are u talking about
Stock ROM Sense 6.0 4.4.2.
If I keep the phone in normal mode overnight battery drain is 0.6%/hour. Roughly it looses 4-5% overnight. I enabled extreme power saver mode couple of times before going to bed and both times I have seen my phone lost 10-11%.

Try LeanDroid, it does a great job of scheduling data to reduce battery usage.
