How to detect the process that is draining the battery?
Does it exists a program to detect the usage of system resources?
No one is having significant battery drain??
no.i m not.all things are ok.
I notice a huge diference in battery life...
In normal use (no Wifi ou BT) i spend about 1% for each +-15-20min
How about you guys?
wifi consumes a lot of energy, so you can measure for how much time it will turn off from full battery. My battery fails and i have ordered a new one i will test it when i recieve the new one, but now it fails after 10 minutes of wifi usage
BA Very hot, and battery drains...FASTER.
I notice that i have battery drain since i've upgraded to wm6...
My BA it's very hot, i never seen it like this...
i have Wireless off, Beam off, Bluetooth off, low brightness...
Any one knows what's happen? Is it problem of WM6 or some application?
Is there anything overcloking my Ba???

Exactly the opposite !! If u want it to last longer , just reduce the brightness to 40% , believe me ull get surprised..
Xeon.... i have the brightness at minimum, but i think that the problem is not that... i always used brigtness like this...
theres some problem with this rom or with some application...
i dont think it's because of the ROM . i played Holdem Poker on my device 2 days ago it was fully charged and 4 hours later i got 34% remaining with Level : 2 Brightness , no wifi , gprs , bluetooth or MMC/SD installed . ( 1450mah battery )
well, it drains a bit faster, but...
WM6 is very good and stabble its a very good upside!
I've tested the following:
- No Wifi
- No BT
- No GPRS
- Brightness 100%
- SD inserted
- No operation at all (timers for backlight an turn off at 60min)
O got the following drainage:
HOURS BATTERY
18:47 94%
18:52 93%
18:56 92%
18:59 91%
19:02 90%
19:05 89%
19:11 88%
19:15 87%
19:18 86%
19:21 85%
19:24 84%
19:26 83%
19:30 82%
19:34 81%
19:38 80%
19:41 79%
19:43 78%
19:53 77%
19:57 76%
19:59 75%
20:03 74%
AT THIS TIME ALL THE SAME BUT I TURNED ON Wifi AND BT
20:05 73%
20:08 72%
20:10 71%
20:13 70%
20:17 69%
20:19 68%
20:22 67%
20:26 66%
20:29 65%
20:31 64%
20:33 63%
20:37 62%
20:40 61%
20:43 60%
20:45 59%
20:47 58%
20:50 57%
20:53 56%
20:58 55%
21:00 54%
21:02 53%
21:06 52%
21:09 51%
21:11 50%
(the timmings aren't all exact, because some times when I looked it had already changed the %)
In conclusion for each +-4min i lost 1% in battery. (remenber that brightness was 100% don't be scared )
Can anyone test in WM5 the same scenario? or in another WM6?
Mine is OK. I don't experience bigger drains than the WM5 baniaczek.
flyboy
I'm having +/- the same values that you post....
2% drains in 5 minutes.
Theres something that is making this... My BA is HOT, i've never seen it like this.
Problem from some application or from the rom... but what?
i've also noticed the temperature issue...
I dont have that temperature Issue . Maybe your XDA is sick or suffering from an inflammatory disease ? scan for viruses
so there is not significant battery drain in this rom, test without the home today plugin and you will find this out
i can not test much until i got the new battery
i do not have the heating problems, it is now, working from yesterday 3am and now, it is 4:45pm and i have 37% remaining. my usage is mostly web
so the conclusion is that it does not drain battery so drastic - it wirks in normal amounts of energy consuming. maybe all with problems should think about new battery - i did, i can not blame roms for this because it was happening with my wm5 also and the same is with wm6 so the problem is in my device
Well fact for me is that it gets hot!
I skipped the WM5 hype so for me its a looking at 2003 (1.42) and this wm6 rom.
From my point of view its does use more power than before.
Wifi uses even more than before.
Its subjective and I can live with it.
@Flyboy
Did you have a home plugin or the standard rom ?
If so can you do the same test with / without it.
That would not be subjective and would may be point a finger
I didnt have battery draining problem with HTC today plugin , but i started to notice after i installed the iphone.cab simulator that it's draining more than 20% faster than ever !! I believe maybe it's because the plugin needs to load more than 30 dll files with 251 priority and 11 threads and keep them running in the RAM . Another thing , be sure to end task the Active sync because when u unplugg the devices it keeps running on your PPC as background process ( dont ask me WHY ) .
Hi,
My girlfriend has recently bought a Galaxy S. It has not been rooted or flashed. She's having a problem where the display is using 70% of the battery, even with the brightless set low, as shown under Settings -> About Phone -> Battery
Unplugged for 7h 15m 28s
Display - 70%
Cell standby - 10%
Phone idle - 5%
Android System - 5%
Android Core Apps - 3%
Android OS - 3%
Internet - 2%
Has anyone heard of this before?
What can we do to fix it?
Thanks

Likewise, the display is draining the most battery comparatively to other things. (I'm using the lowest settings)
Im not speaking from research (how other superphones behave), but wild guess - it is normal for all touch screens, especially bigger ones.
Touch or not - it doesn't matter.
Screen technology and size matters.
See 4" has around 4 times the area of 2" display.
How long was the display active for ? This is normal if you have it turned on a lot at high brightness settings.
i'm not surprised even if the 70% is true, because my HTC Athena is a power hog when i keep the screen on for a long time, the juice que sucked up in a couple of hours of use.
the SGS i9000 is having a better run for the power.
at least i can play 3D games (ASPHAL5) in it without worrying about running out of battery like with my old HTC Athena

See, you are kind of reading this information wrong, IMO. Yes, the display usese 60+% of power, regardless of brightness settings, if you have the display on. Here's the simple math:
Standby time (no sync, no 3G, basically, literally just standing by, screen off doing nothing: 24-25 days
screen on time: 4-7 hours.
You can see that the screen sucks SOOOO much more power than just about everything else your gf had going on in her usage, there wasn't a high usage scenario other than the screen. However, if you use something like GPS the stats will "look better" but you'll have less battery because it'll go from screen to 40% and GPS to 30% but your battery would be nearly dead.
Also, if she just went to sleep then Cell standby and Cell idle jump by 1-5% each and then you have "better looking" statistics.
This essentially means, if you use the phone with the display a large percentage of the time that the phone is unplugged, expect these percentages. I unplug my phone at night, when I wake up my display percentage is 0% (not necessarily better than 70%, because it's usage dependent), then I go to work, so I might run unplugged for 20 hours, use 8% of my battery with my display reading at 20% of the power used. Then, I'll go home and play with it and it's upto 40%, the moral is that it's good to know how much your battery is used on various tasks, but anywhere from 20-70% is normal depending on how much you actually have the display on while it's unplugged.
70% sounded right. There was a youtube VDO that dissemble galaxy s awhile back that really give a good perspective.
The CPU, GPU, GPS, memories etc etc almost fit on your thumb. They are so miniturised and so small. The rest are chassis, batteries and screens taking up almost all the space.
So it is no surprise that the screen should be what guzzling down all the batteries.
didnt know it uses that much...
She's having a problem where the display is using 70% of the battery. [...] What can we do to fix it?

The easiest way to fix this is by installing & running multiple applications that consume a lot of battery power. This should lower the percentage of battery power that the display consumes significantly.

Thanks, but that's the thing, I have a Desire and if used similarly (with brightness set highest) mine shows:
Android System 31%
Cell standby 21%
Wi-Fi 21%
Phone idle 16%
Display 11%
I thought the Galaxy S's screen is supposed to be more power efficient than the Desires so that's why it doesn't make sense to me. Again today her battery use shows:
Display 61%
Cell standby 17%
Phone idle 10%
Android OS 6%
Android System 3%
Internet 2%
So I think either my phone (Desire) is reporting the battery use wrong, her phone (Galaxy S) is reporting it wrong or the display is using more than it should? Now I had a similar battery % when I flashed a few 2.2 roms onto my phone, but people were saying that was because the drivers weren't correct. (I haven't flashed 2.2 recently)
Cheers

Hello,
Same happened to me, but I used live wallpaper. When I turned to the simple wallpaper the usage from 75% dropped to 50% -keeping all my other activities constant.
Chryssa
I don't think that the info displayed by android is very accurate.
I get about 55% too though.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Just press on the display-bit, and you can see how many hours/minutes it's been on.
19 hours since unplugged:
Android OS: 36%
Cell Standby: 25%
Phone Idle: 18%
Display: 14%
Wi-fi: 3%
Android System: 2%
Those 14% is 31minutes continious use...
31 minutes of Display time is nothing over 19 hours, hence the low percentage. Mine shows approx. 50% usage when it's been used say almost 2 hours and phone awake time 14 hours.
For the OP, if you don't tell us how long the display has been switched on ... all the answer will be just guessing
As everybody says, the display is always the bigger battery consumer unless you use your phone as a mp3 player or just a phone to receive call.
If you go on the web, play games, read mails, use maps ... the display will always be the biggest ( maybe the gps can go higher ... )
On my side I have 65% of battery left after 7h unplugged
50% of display for 1h4mn
21% of android OS
13% of cell standby
8% of phone idle
It's all down to the comparatively slow advancement of battery technology.
Screens are getting bigger, higher resolution and more power-hungry. Just the same as processors and GPUs need more juice, new wireless standards are introduced and multi-tasking becomes popular.
We've come from dumbphones (eg: the old Nokias) used almost solely used for calling and sms to phones that handle half the stuff in our lives, yet they're still using almost exactly the same battery technology to power it.
Simply put, the smarter the phone, the more power hungry it will usually be. And the Galaxy S is currently the smartest phone of the market.
Samsung compensated by fitting a larger battery, but they can't perform miracles with the aging battery tech.
Take a look at the x-ray scans and teardowns of the iPad; 80% of its internal volume is battery space to allow it to last for 10 hours! Sadly phones don't have the same space luxury without the rear getting chunky.
I'm hoping increased capacity batteries are released like the Hero had, as the Galaxy S is large but thin enough that some extra volume on the back wouldn't be much of a problem.

That is just fine! It's just the percentage guys.
Think about it this way.
Compared to the energy consumption of the display other things uses much less energy.
However on my Galaxy S, I played 6 hours (almost 3, 720p Movies) continuously. Isn't it just awesome on a device having 800x480 Crisp Display that only weighs 118 grams?

With brightness set to auto-brightness or max or min?
@OP - this is very normal. I always get the same type of readings.
Except when I talk(voice call) for a very long time.
Mine also same display always use up more then 70% and the battery can't even stand for 8 hrs, with very minimum usage 1hrs wifi, 20 min call, 1/2 hrs 3g, 1 hrs navigation(with charging). Have got battery replacement from samsung but still the same I read a post some where for UK set, the guy get 1 to 1 replacement, battery can last for 2 days for it new set, just wonder is it the flaw set we having that cause our battery drain? My friends told me that for his set from morning till after work (9 to 8 pm almost 11 hrs) battery only drop 10%. I really hope someone can help us to prove is samsung selling flaw set so we can claim 1 to 1 exchanges.
Samsung GT-T5800. Android OS 2.1-update 1, I5800XXJH1, Kernel 2.6.29 root SE-S603 #2.
The problem:
1. Battery till 50% discharges normally - about 10-15% per day, but after 50% it immediately shows 15% and asks to connect charger and phone switches off very fast. actually no chance to mane even emergency call. No 40%, no 30%, no 20% in battery level.
2. When connect phone to charger - battery charging level immediately set to 80% or every ~10 seconds: 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%. After that phone charges about 1,5-2 hours till 100% and after about 1-2hours it asks to disconnect from the charger. Battery temperature during charging and after it: 31-33C.
After 3d 8h 40min. (~80hours using applications: Battery booster and Memory Booster, no 3G) of battery usage phone switches off.
Battery usage was:
Android system: 61%
Cell Standby: 19%
Phone Idle: 12%
Bluetooth: 4%
Voice calls: 4%
Time from 15% to 5% - 15 minutes with no using the phone. Battery's temperature 20C, Voltage: 3588mV Phone switches off. I have tried 2-3 times to switch on the phone to make battery more empty and finally switched it on and at the same time connected it to charger.
Here is the interesting charging time line after phone died and was switched on to charge it (sorry - no in seconds):
0:00 - 1% - 20C/3588mV (temperature/voltage)
0:01 - 3%
0:01 - 5%
0:01 - 15%
0:02 - 15%
0:03 - 30%
0:03 - 40%
0:04 - 30%
0:05 - 15%
0:07 - 15%
0:09 - 30%
0:12 - 40%
0:14 - 30%
0:15 - 15%
0:16 - 30% - 28C/3698mV
0:18 - 40% - 28C/3718mV
0:20 - 50% - 28C/3730mV
0:21 - 40% - 28C/3727mV
0:23 - 50% - 27C/3728mV
0:36 - 60% -
0:36 - 50% - 26C/3769mV
0:37 - 60% - 26C/3774mV
0:59 - 60% - 26C/3807mV
1:24 - 60% - 26C/3807mV
2:06 - 70%
2:07 - 80% - 26C/3906mV
2:44 - 90% - 26C/3971mV
3:18 -100% - 25C/4101mV
4:03 -100% - 22C/4184mV - Asked to disconnect the charger.
After this charge GT-I5800 (with no any software changes) stoped to show 50% to 15%, but 30% disappears fast to 15% (it means one short call).
Possible that battery issue reason is that (I think) phone was charged partly switched off and partly switched on.
Maybe there are some battery level controlling OS software bugs, I do not know.
Is it official bug or issue?
Or some guru can comment that battery level issue? I saw I was not first user having it.
should be from the firmware
it seems this happening to all
Well i also have exactly the same issue...
I have observed that when i make/recieve a call the battery voltage decreases greatly because of which the battery also decreases and after sometime the battery voltage comes back to normal but NOT the battery.
My battery also drops down from 50% to 15% or 5%.....It's really very annoying...
I think that this is a frimware issue but i am not sure..I am scared that it could be a hardware issue...
Well i have mailed Samsung also regarding this issue so that they fix this issue in the next frimware upgrade and hope others also do the same so that we have a better chance of this bug getting fixed.....!!!

And when I switch off / on the phone then it shows probably correct vallue. For an example. It shows me 15% and after restart it is 60 %. What a stupid bug - I've never have this problem with any device before. Even phones 10 years ago were able to show correct battery status. I think this problem was also with original 2.1 android firmware.
Can someone who has upgraded to froyo pl. confirm that this issue is resolved in the new firmware?

yes, in JP9 / froyo is still this battery problem. When I switch on / off the phone then it's ok. Does someone resolved this issue please ?
My issue still exists. Froyo did not help. Also I can't understand why does one time on charging battery becomes hot, another time -cold.
same for me, and today i charged my phone and after charging just put it on my table after 1h i saw that there are only 80%. Didn't see this on other firmwares
Same here. I thought it is because of my battery manager widget which I had installed, but un-installing/master clear also did not help. Looks like it is major problem. Moreover, few of the battery widgets mention that in some devices they report 1% level battery change, but in Samsung I5801, it will be 10%.
what about this issue at JPA ?
when you was installing JPA did you hard reset your phone ? (factory settings)
If yes which application do you use for restore all of the datas and settigns ?
Yes, it was done. Hard reset seems is not related, and did not help.
Same problem here...
Since built in battery meter is not accurate at all Im using custom one but problem remains.
might fix battery issue.
might work...saw it for Epic 4g and gave it a shot (as its Samsung too). Some sites say LiON do not have memory like NiCd did but somehow it worked for me. Now I stay on 100% for 5hrs or so. lasting 2 days with 45mins call time and some Wifi use. Like today charged full 100% at 9AM and now its 2230 and I have 80%.I have switched off a lot of things. See below.

Above needs to be done once only. If it doesn't work then go to service center. Remember battery has 6 months warranty only so be quick and try above on new battery.
I also run LauncherPro instead of stock. Disabled data and enable when out of AP range (only use Wifi when needed and have an AP). Background data/synch is always off unless I use market. All apps are set to never except Gmail. Use K9 Email too and ATK. Am on DDj6 FM. Have removed a lot of apps, foursquare included and run 2 screen with LauncherPro widgets only.
Settings to switch off are here.

As long as I know li ion batteries doesnt have the memory effect but they still have to be recalibrated from time to time, lets say once a month. That means dont charge the phone until it goes off and then charge to the top.
I wasnt willing to wait for 11 hours for phone to charge when I bought it and after few days I ve notice that battery last very short. After that I ve performed the full cycle (drain to the bottom - when phone turn itself off, then after few minutes turn it on, wait until it goes off - repeat few times until its completely off then charge it fully - I usually turn off the phone while charging ).
As long as I know all modern devices like phones, notebooks etc shut down before the battery is completely drained because they want to have safe margin of the battery power because of, as long as I know, when li ion batteries become completely drained then could be damaged completely so you cant recharge them again. Anyway with that "turn on then its drained" I believe that I use the battery more than normal and that phone will recalibrate to the new situation figuring that battery have more voltage than phone "expected".
Anyway with few recharging cycles like those I ve described above I can use the phone now for a 2 days with moderate usage...
That 50-15 problem still exist but 100% period last quite long and also phone can be used a long time from the moment battery reach 15% ...
Try doing it the other way round!
Keep your device on constant charge or at least as much as possible for 10 days from new and you should have now problem.
I have run tests on Lion powered devices for the past 5 years and I have never had to "calibrate" once.
My battery usage is always consistent and seemingly accurate.
And this method encourages max power from the battery.

If you think theres any other factors to add just let me know.
I like the idea. Hopefully it is practical, so many variables. I would suggest streamlining the report a little bit, adding time spent without signal to standby, and changing SetCPU to be Extras: (only list items if you have them), live wallpaper, launcher, setcpu
Also I would add

Thats awsome soba (gets off to try that combo now)
Ill just be stoked when we get froyo in twelve million years.
Froyo has increased battery life on my X by like a good 5 or 6 hours.
I charge my fascinate nearly twice as often

Hey soba would you say that Bh has bettery battery life than JT?
Well note that I am running JT's kernel. In terms of the ROM, of course I am very happy where I am, but not because I believe the battery life is superior. I did run super clean 0.5 no voodoo, but not long enough to make a proper battery life comparison. In fact, I believe comparing different installations to get a handle on battery life or perhaps some practices that might improve it is the intention of the thread.

I'm using Beautiful Widgets, set to update weather every hour, along with LauncherPro+ set to update Friends widget every hour (Twitter/Facebook). No Live wallpaper, minor gaming (maybe 10 min). Today has been a light usage day as I was busy with other stuff and had less time to play with my phone.
BlackHole 2.4 w/ DJ05, jt 1129 no voodoo:
4 hours, 1 minute display. 24 hours standby. 3% battery left. Just a rough estimate, didn't take formal report. Subjectively same battery life as 2.2 w/ IRC dj05.
Let me started with that i have HD2 with installed Yuki's WP7 ROM
updated to 7.0.7392
phone battery lasts normaly 24 hours
after installing 7.10.7720.68
big different
phone from 100% battery goes to 10% for about 12 hours
(from 7am to 7pm)
and this because when phone reaches about 20% starts battery saver
about 5 pm
today i decide to check in battery saver "Turn on Battery Saver now, until next charge"
and from 100% at 7am now it is 58%
wondering what process batery saver stops to reduce so much battery drain while i am in 3G mode and data "on". also can use wi-fi...
