After replacing the battery with a 1600 mah Seidio battery. I still get bad results. For example, during lunch today my phone was at 50% in my locker. After 4 hours, I was at 21%. My Sync, GPS, BT and Wifi are all OFF.
How is this possible?
I use to own a Nexus One and in 4 hours it would go down 2% with CM6. Is Gingerbread an issue here or does my phone need RMA repair?
2.3.3 gives me better battery than 2.1 or 2.2

superaosp from [email protected] stock kernel or redstars depends but cm7 and stock OTA gave me better battery than 2.2/2.1
I'm running stock 2.3.3 and battery life is by far the best over various android versions.
2.3.3 has some weird bug where every once in a while the system gets into a weird drain state like it doesnt go into deep sleep correctly. i just got hit with this last night. it does happen all the time, most of the time on 2.3.3 battery life is excellent. i will lose 6% over 8 hours. but when that awake bug DOES kick in, battery drops like yours did.
you just have to reboot and check it again, the bug likely will clear itself and you wont see it again, for a while.

yes, this is exactly what the bug is. sometimes randomly on GB the phone stays awake for no reason, for hours. but when this DOESNT happen, batteyr life is superb. i only get hit with this bug once a week or less.

My N1 on 2.3.3 goes completely dead after 12hrs. I found the solution when doing a Google search. It's to go to Wifi Settings, Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, and change it to Never. You'd think that would reduce battery life, but for some reason now my phone's battery life is very significantly improved. Now it's only down to about 30% after 19hrs when I put it on the charger.
It appears that 2.3.4 will address battery issues in Gingerbread.

Here's a quote from your link:

I dont think its Gingerbread, ive used both stock and CM7 on my N1 and i was having good bat life on N1 stock gingerbread about 5-6 hours with heavy use, and with CM7 official rom i get 7-8 hours heavy use and up to 19 hours on days i barely use the phone, and on standby i can confirm 8 hours (while im asleep) it drains 6% by the time i wake up of course i do have it personalized and settings applied for bat savings.
I haven't encountered this bug with CM 7.0.3 (based on 2.3.3) but I found it very useful to let the phone just drain the battery completely once in a while (once in a few weeks) and than fully charge it.
After doing that, I can go through two days with regular usage of the device
I'm on CM 7.0.3, 2.3.3 and I'm only getting 13-15 hrs if I'm lucky. Wifi and bluetooth are off only syncing gmail and google contacts. I barely even touch my phone at work for 8 hrs and the battery life sucks.
Another weird thing is that once it gets to 15% left it just automatically dies and shuts down...very frustrating, I'm on the latest pershoot kernel too, the phone was given to me for free last month and it was originally purchased in Feb '10 so I just figure the battery is old and worn out.

No. Your battery is not aged, it just needs re-calibration.
One simple way is to re-calibrate your battery is to charge it when the phone is off or charge using a desktop charher, and you have to over-charge a bit - just leave the battery connecting to power source for an additional 1 hour or more, when the charging process has been completed.
This works every time for me.
Keep in mind that from time to time the battery may need to be re-calibrated again for peak performance.

or you can use the siyah kernel which supposedly fixed the aos problem.
based on my current usage, it shows:

2h 11m display time on
android os 3%.
theres still 39% battery left.
for me thats good enough.

- Put phone in freezer until draining process is frozen?
- Sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, little star" before going to bed with phone, so it will slide into deep sleep very smoothly without waking up?

Turn phone off and leave off to save battery?
Hi.. I upgraded to the German ICS 5 days ago..
my baseband is N7000XXLPT
and build # is IML74K.XXLPY
and I put on the Speedmod 3.3 Kernel.
And i STILL have serious battery drain... I mean.. It wont even last half a day with not alot of on time as before with GB..
Can you please offer me some suggestions?? thanks.
thanks again..
Im at my witts end for a first time flasher...
Do a full charge and download CPU spy to find out if your phone its entering deep sleep, also check the battery stats for some clues as to what's causing it, finally go to task manger and go to the storage tab and select battery motoring.
This should identify any apps that are hogging battery / CPU.
If nothing its found, perform a full wipe.

A week ago i was having the same issue. It will run at max 8-9hrs. I needed to bring the charger at work for it to last until i get home to do another full charge. I have the same kernel and rom (LPY and speedmod combo). Serious battery drain abt 3-5% per hour doing absolutely nothing.
I did a little research and with the help of betterbatterystats i found out that the culprit is audioout_1 as betterbatterystats reported that audioout_1 wakes the phone from deep sleep.
By any chance do you have keytouch sounds on?

People here will suggest cpu spy and better battery stats for you to PERSONALLY find what causes your problem.
Installing speedmod will not perform magic in your phone, but its a start in the right path.

thanks for the replies gang.
I went to bed at 82% and in airplane mode.\Woke up to 42%.\CPU Spy saus only 2% deep sleep.
I dont have any sounds on. Alll sounds off except to vibrate on screen tap.
Im on the battery monitoring now in task manager.
My next step would be to purchas Bettery Battery Stats to pinpoint the programs preventing from going into deep sleep..
thanks for the answers again, gang.
**Question though***
under Task manager / Storage / Battery Monitor ...
Start monitoring..... then what? What does that do? I small icon shows up on the top status bar.
Then what? What to do after turning on Battery Monitoring? [email protected]!
Since we have different apps installed, you need to find out what app or process preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.
It's a pain I know but no other choice.
And you don't suspect speedmod?

I'm using Stock ICS kernel without deep sleep problem. Check sync options I ever found some app triggerred deep sleep problem while it's set sync ON.
thanks guys and gals for your comments..
I felt that youse were right in the fact that it was MY problem. within my GNote.
So I read and re-read other threads too & something caught my attention.
Someone said that maybe folks installed some sort of "messenger" or something that keeps "reaching out" to see if something is there for it.
And I remembered installing Yahoo Messenger to chat with this nice dame. about the same time frame when I went to ICS
Well...
I uninstalled Yahoo Messenger and WALLA!!!..
Back to deep sleep! And I got my battery back!
Thanks again for all the replies and comments.
They really help.
I hope my solution helps others out.
Try IM+ chat app it doesn't have problem with deep sleep. You can use yahoo login also.

Hi
This morning 26th on my note I had an OTA notification. Since I had no Wifi, I cancelled it. Now, when I do a manual check, it says 'no updates available'. I already have 4.04 (XXLRG) from an update a couple of weeks ago so it wasn't that.
Any idea what it might have been?
Hoping for some Jelly Bean soon since I like it on my N7.

Omg. Seriously hoping this is foreshadowing the release of jellybean for the note...
Come on Sammy!!
Most likely not jb but to remove search the phone capability

Installing that much (really, any!) crapware along with updates is not cool...
But give me Jelly Bean quickly and I'll forgive you, Samsung.
So. Anyone know if this update fixed the battery problem many have? And fixed the issue of bricking the phone when hard reset?

I got this update yesterday. However I can't find the apps mantioned here. It only said "Improved performance". I don't know what they mean. I have had the problems with the battery. I had to either pull the battery for a minute or two, or I had to switch on power saving mode right after charging and leave it on for some minutes before turning off powersaving. I had to do this every time I charged the phone, or else it would not go into deep sleep. It would stay on 200MHz, and drain the battery in a matter of hours.
However, this morning I saw (using CPU Spy) that the phone had charged all night using 200MHz (this might be normal. I don't know this). I tryed to just pull the charger, without doing the steps mentioned above. And i see now, a couple of hours later, that the phone has gone into deep sleep since I pulled the charger.
It might be too early to draw conclutions on this, but it looks promising so far.
I have found no info about the update yesterday. I hope its possible to hard reset the phone without bricking it now, but I don't know.
I will keep monitoring the phone, and let you know.

IIRC the phone doesn't charge during deep sleep, so clocked at 200 while charging should be normal.

After you pull the charger it takes few minutes and the note goes into deep sleep.

I explained badly I think. I have used the CPU Spy for some time now, and i have seen that the cpu use 200MHz when it charging. Good to know this is normal. The big difference this morning was that when I took the phone off the charger, it went into deep sleep. It hasn't done that for a long time. Before the update, it went on using 200MHz after charging, when it was supposed to go into deep sleep. The only thing I could do to get it into deep sleep, was to pull the battery og use battery saver for a few mins.
I just hope they have fixed the brick problem when doing a hard reset too!

Yehh. I asked customer support what the update was, and if they fixed the battery problem and brick problem. They answered that I had to hard reset to fix the battery problem and the update was "improved performance". So I guess I either have to live with a bad battery or bricked phone hehe. Kinda hopeless imo. Anyways, the battery still works good after update :good:
Hi,
I do not have enough posts to place this in the developer forum. However I update my Defy with each nightly build and since the 2nd boot nightlies I too have experienced really poor battery drain. I have fixed this by disabling two features in Google Maps.
Go to: system settings--> Google-->Maps and Latitude
Disable both location reporting and enable location history.
Instantly my battery has gone back to previous performance and after 17 hours I have 79% left. Previously this would have been less than 30%.
some people will not like this and it disables google now (actually make sure google now is also off) but if you want better battery life over these features this works for me.
I did the same and the battery consumption is reduced.
But using Better Battery Stats app I found out that my device won't go to sleep because of my WiFi. Wlan_rx_wake is always running. Is it the same for you ? Is there anyway to switch off WiFi automatically.
My config is same as yours.

No problem and thanks for the stuff in dev forum. This is post number 2 so maybe 8 more I'll be able to do it myself. There is still something else going on as I get occasional battery drain. My latest theory is around the method in wich you charge the defy or airplane mode itself. The last time I charged the defy from my pc via USB and I had amazing battery life and used 12% in 8 hours with some text and data and driving I.e. no wifi. Then it went to airplane mode and the next day the battery drain was significantly worse. So either USB charging is better than wall charger for some odd reason or airplane mode triggers some battery heavy process that never dies. I can't see this in the battery stats other than phone idle and screen. Turning off phone does not resolve either.
I'm continuing to investigate optios but my last full charge got 36 hours and had 19% left before I charged.

First of all, thanks for your findings!
I think that I found a workaround for the "something else going on" on the FAQ thread in a post by -=lov=- under http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33159734&postcount=389.
Since I too am not able to post in the dev section yet, I posted myself in the FAQ thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33223114&postcount=398), asking that somebody gives a hint to -=lov=-'s workaround in the dev thread so that Quarx and the others can take notice.
Because I find this workaround important for everybody using the current custom kernel, I copy/paste my post from the FAQ threat to here too:

If someone has battery drain in sleep mode, you can try to do this steps:
1. Reboot phone. Wait for 10-15 minutes.
3. Insert the USB - nothing happens on the phone. (Notifications Debugging and connect via USB does not appear).
4. Take out the USB.
5. Reconnect USB wait minute or so.
6. Take out the USB.
Now device should sleep correctly.

This is a really great workaround against battery drain in sleep mode! :good: :good: :good:
This method works very well for me and is always reproducable!
Before I had about 45 mA/h (2,5 %/h) while deepsleep during day (with 3G on) and about 30 mA/h (1,8 %/h) while deepsleep during night (by using JuiceDefender app, 3G and WIFI are off most of the time).
After appliing this method (which unfortunately has to be done after every reboot), i have just about 25 mA/h (1,5 %/h) while deepsleep during day and about 8 mA/h (0,5 %/h) while deepsleep during night, which are similar to the good numbers I had under Gingerbread.
BTW, using KSM, zRam and Swap don't influence battery drain, at least not significantly, in my experience. I got the above mentioned drains with KSM and zRAM enabled!
However, disabling "settings > location > access to my location" and "google > maps and latitude" options, as posted a couple of times on the development thread, *does* have some impact on battery drain, so I keep these options disabled.
I'm reading the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 for a couple of weeks now and unfortunately it seems that they haven't taken notice of -=lov=-'s great finding yet. I think that there is something about the USB drivers not properly initialized in the Custom Kernels yet, which leads to the much discussed battery drains. I'm quite sure that this should be fixable by Quarx.
Unfortunately, I cannot post in the development thread yet (actually this is my very first post because I found this topic this so important).
Therefore I would like to ask somebody on this FAQ thread to try this method himself and give a hint
on the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702, so that the
developers and especially Quarx can take notice and finally fix the battery drain caused by the USB driver
bug (or whatever it is). :fingers-crossed: :highfive: :victory:
Thank you for your support!

Hi @frpriot,
thanks a lot for forwarding the link so quickly to the dev thread! :highfive:
So far there hasn't been a direct response to the USB drivers issue (besides 1 or 2 thanks), but as always there are a lot of issues talked about on this main dev thread at the same time...
So let's wait and hope that the right people pick this issue up! If this shouldn't happen, it might be a good idea to give a hint in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908687 too, since Quarx seems to take part actively there himself. Could you in this case post there too? (I'm now still missing 7 posts to reach the magic 10 first posts... )

I had a similar problem some time ago, with the phone connected to my home wifi network it would have unusual awake times, draining the battery very quickly.
I found out using the Network Log app (it's in the Play Store) that something on my network keep sending broadcast packets, that the phone would respond, thus the wifi wakelock.
That something was the NetBios name discovery service, enabled by default on Windows, but hardly used anymore, at least on home networks, turning it off solved the issue for me.

However, disabling "settings > location > access to my location" and "google > maps and latitude" options, as posted a couple of times on the development thread, *does* have some impact on battery drain, so I keep these options disabled.
I'm reading the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 for a couple of weeks now and unfortunately it seems that they haven't taken notice of -=lov=-'s great finding yet. I think that there is something about the USB drivers not properly initialized in the Custom Kernels yet, which leads to the much discussed battery drains. I'm quite sure that this should be fixable by Quarx.
Unfortunately, I cannot post in the development thread yet (actually this is my very first post because I found this topic this so important).
Therefore I would like to ask somebody on this FAQ thread to try this method himself and give a hint
on the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702, so that the
developers and especially Quarx can take notice and finally fix the battery drain caused by the USB driver
bug (or whatever it is). :fingers-crossed: :highfive: :victory:
Thank you for your support!
Thanks to -=lov=- for his great finding and to Quarx for his superb CM10 ROM and Custom Kernel (if he is reading this thread nonetheless...)

Thanks for this post. I have just plugged phone into USB attached to PC for 30 seconds. After only 10 minutes I can see the battery life has improved. See attached screenshot.Just after plugging in USB the battery stops draining at the same rate and the % has stayed the same.
Something gets triggered when the USB cable gets connected that stops the battery draining. I wonder if by charging the phone via the wall charger their is a process triggered that does not get killed when the phone is fully charged. By connecting to USB the process gets killed "nicely" at disconnect?
Hey I am currently on JB build 18.10.12 having 4.1.2 and the same kernel on which I had previously flashed 24.09.12 which had 4.1.1.
I am a begginer in this and have read a lot of posts before. But this particular thread has interested me more . Thanks for that but I still facing
1. Battery drain issues.
2. Battery doesn't charge beyond 79%
3. 2G toggle also doesn't work as soon as I switch it on it just says no network found.
The ROM is really good.. love the interface, hats off to those who did it..
Please can someone help me in this..
If u want any logs or screen shot will be posting it.

Hi,
Your kernel is not up to date...
First you should flash last update (update_for_18.10_v3.zip). You can d/l it on Quarx's ftp! After that you will probably have less issues !
Just try it and feedback.
Enjoy !

Is 2g mode works if you select it in network parameters ?
Did you try a clean install ?

Yeah i did clean install it.
and i did try in the settings menu to use 2G always option.. it didnt work out.
well i will innumerate the steps i did -
1. after rooting my device i installed the CWM available on the JB thread 4.1.2
2. Switched off the device and charged it to 100%
3. Took out the battery went into recovery mode and reset and erased everything and erased the cache and dalvic too
and flashed the rom 18.10.2012
4. Upon which i flashed the V3 update as advised and then
5. lastly installed the gapps for JB
6. booted it up...
so far no isssues such as rebooting / loops, camera, wifi, etc with the rom except a few problems..its smooth
1. Always gets heated up when put on charge and talk at the same time or use it (which i think its normal i dont really know)
2. 2G still doesnt work..
3. Battery better after V3 update but not that much as before.. lasts a full day on conservable use.. wifi 3g 3-4 hours max but lasts a day
4. And lastly when put on charge again doesnt charge above 82%
dont know which step have i missed.. :/
love the rom though
Can you suggest me another rom which is as stable as this but with awesome battery life.. i also used a Samsung tab 2 a month back of my brothers it lasted about two days on moderate use.. wifi, 3g, music, games , everything..
thanks a lot ..

I don't understand why it doesn't work..For me it works perfectly..I have a Defy green lens with last 1018 rom + v4 update...
Perhaps your bootloader version could be the culprit ? Don't know...
For battery drain issue, perhpas your battery is worn ?
For 2G issue, is it working with another rom ?
I advise you to have a look on FAQ section...
I can't suggest you another CM10 rom, i don't know another good ones...
Did you try CM7 stable roms? If yes, have you got the sames issues?

Is there a difference between 24.09 and 18.10 other than 18.10 is better and newer..
What exactly is a 2nd boot..
how exactly is it different from other nightlys ?
May be I am installing this ROM wrong..
Just guessing.. I read the FAQs nothing that I could find could help me

18.10 is not just better and newer. It's way better. No lags. With v4, really good battery life. If your battery is not charging above 84, then take off the battery and wipe battery stats. Then you'll be good to go!
