hi
i was using the device and it was fine untill i've tried the leaked ICS, after i restored my backup that i made, the battery seriously drain fast. i charged the phone up to 100% and put it on stand by and went to sleep, after i waked up it was on 30% that almost everything went for the "android os"
from what i read on other posts it's the kernel that not good but i was made a full backup and restore so how can it be? anyway if it is the kernel problem, could someone recommend me a good kernel, i prefer original, and if there is no original that took care that problem, i prefer one without any overclocking and stuff like that, that risk the phone
thanks

Download and install BetterBatteryStats, and repeat what you did (charge to 100, let sit for hour or so). Open BetterBatteryStats app and look at "Partial Wakelocks", that will tell you what is keeping your phone from sleeping..

Did You Flash abyss kernel 3.6-3.9 and then reboot recovery and then restored your backup

Usually removing Samsung push service fixes that problem for me.

Unless you have several days' records, it is hard to tell. I find many times that one particular process or event has kept my phone 'awake' all night when it usually does not. I typically find the culprit using the method mentioned above, and kill it's event listeners with Autorun Manager (needs root).
If it is the kernel, I have found Abyss to be quite a bit better than stock. Others claim Franco is better, and it certainly has less CPU tweaking allowed, so may be preferable to you.
Having said all that, having rooted a friend's Note and killed bloatware but left the stock kernel & ROM, it is currently sitting at 70% after 3 days and 12 hours. Most of that is screen off as I only check a couple of times a day, and WiFi is sleeping when the screen is off. It also does not have a SIM card in, but it is connected to the mobile network (for emergency calls). I am not sure how much difference that makes.

What's at the bottom of the phone the cpu or radio? Whatever it is it is being taxed like crazy by something when the phone is idling with nothig running, including widgets.

Same here. After the recent update Im still getting the stuck at 90% indicator, and after I disconnect the phone's bottom will stay hot for the rest of the day... I'm worried it might blow in my pocket.
It's actually below the battery that gets the hottest, so I doubt the battery is in danger of blowing; can't be good for it's longevity though. At least for me it seems to be associated with charging, so actually doesn't seem bad while in pocket.
Seemed to be push exchange email doing it.

Can anyone get that to happen? Cuz I can't....
This happened to me last night after rooting my phone. The phone was hot and the battery died on me. I read on another forum someone posted that the exploid executable was still running in the background and you need to kill it manually from the shell or reboot. So that might be the cause of it.

I can't get it to do that either tried 10.

I took mine back on the first day after I bought it when it did that. It was also locking up requiring battery removal 5 times in the first day. The kiosk where I bought it tried to tell me it was the network being overloaded was causing that. I said 'BS', either give me a new phone or a loaner till you get me a replacement, so they gave me a new phone on the 16th.
Have not had any trouble with the new one. Battery lasts three times as long as my evo did.
Well after fully charging and draining my phone about 5 times, I'm seeing that it still didnt last more then 4-5 hours with minimal use. I just went to my closest Verizon store and got a new battery for free. It's only been 4 hours, but my phone isnt as hot on the bottom( by speaker) and its still at 78%, which is much better.
I thought the phone reported in 10% increments :/

I noticed that the Android OS usage is pretty high, between 60-90% on xBTx's mostly stock rom with Nubecoders kernel v02.
Anyone seeing high Android OS usage on other ROMs?

What do you think makes your phone work? Take off your OS and see if you can load anything. Would you expect your PC to load a Program for Windows without Windows running? Percentage don't mean crap. It is how many seconds a program runs for. The OS and display will ALWAYS be the highest percentage.

I get your point, but usage was never this high with froyo. It was always around 6%. If you read any of the thread I posted, it's apparently a bug...
And on froyo, Android OS was always below 10%...
Its saying android os is using 90% of the battery power that's been used so far.
Remember how screen on used to be 80% and now since froyo its always single digits?
Ima blame better battery management

Going theory is that they changed which stat they measured the graphics processor under when GB came out. What used to be considered a display process may now be measured under Android System.
I woudn't worry about the percentages too much, but what I would worry about is why at about the half way mark it looks like your phone never goes into a deep sleep? Either you were using it for six hours straight, or you may have a wake lock there.

Right on.. it doesn't look like he was using it based on the slope of the battery drain, so I would be looking for an app triggering partial wake-lock. Odds are it's another case of Handcent killing innocent batteries.
I don't have any "weird" application running in the background, this happened with the original carrier ROM (telcel, México) and with a "debranded" canadian ROM.
The battery life just runs away, I've charged my phone fully and then I unplug it, leave it sitting there without touching it like an hour (just wifi enabled, no celular data at all) and I'm getting this.

Definitely there's something wrong on mine... I'll install that and I'll let it "sleep" all night and see the results.
Thanks a lot. I'll come here again with my results.
Let BBS run at least 48hrs with no reboots to give you a full evaluation. That's what I do and I find the answer in couple of days. :thumbup:

So, I don't understand the application, I don't even know if I need to leave it open or what :/
I've solved it, it was the 4G antenna draining my battery life.
Do you have bad reception? Usually that causes severe battery drain. I'm glad you found what the issue is.

hello im new to android coming over from wp8 (nokia 920) which i LOVE to death but ive been through 6 920s since launch for a few different reason. Att allowed me to get the g2 for $50 bucks and i get to keep this 920. ive read alot obout the g2s battery and i just wanted to know what i need to disable besides the usual nfc gps stuff to make my battery last longer. I had the screen on for no more than 10 minutes and my batter dropped from 95 to 87 and all i did was look around in settings and take 2 pics with no flash the screen brightness is set to 60 auto.
You have to allow it to go through about 4 charge cycles to calibrate and then your battery life will be insane.

Don't install anything or do anything. Give it a few days (after the new honeymoon phase) of normal use...you'll get it going the entire day. That drop is fine, don't worry about it.
Sent from my G2
Don't turn on the screen.... Ever... and your battery life will be amazing!
Apps can be your best friend and worst enemy. Make sure that you don't have rogue apps eatting your batter and/or apps that have a lot of sleep wake issues and don't let your phone go into deep sleep. Use battery stats apps and sleep wake apps to track down those unwanted apps

Don't use it?
But seriously. If you plan to not to use that ****ton of features LG included, you can simply root it, install Titanium Backup, and freeze those processes.
Also disabling WiFi hotspots and GPS is said to be the greatest battery saver.
I have CID off, GPS and use 2x battery app.

I assumed it was caller ID, but I can't see how that would save battery life, beside maybe freezing the bloatware app that's on the Verizon version (not sure if it's on the other versions).
Anyone else had these system drain issues? This is the first day I have seen a problem with it after having the phone for a week now.

I've seen elsewhere that people have had issues with Samsung Link eating up battery life. Turning it off appears to solve the issue.
