Hello all,
I'm using the original European rom (the first updated ROM that came out; didn't have time to install the second updated ROM )
The only program I'm running is S2U2 (slide to unlock2), the newest version.
The problem I'm experiencing is the next: The battery status from S2U2 gives a percentage of 26%, but the battery indicator from Windows Mobile (upper right corner) gives an indication of 2 Blocks (so battery more than half-full).
When I go to the settings tab, press more and have a look at the battery indicator of Windows Mobile in detailed version, I see I have only 3 green blocks left. This shows the INDICATION of S2U2 of 26% battery remaining was correct!
But the TRUE CAPACITY isnt, because:
The weirdest thing is, my battery stayed at the level of 26% remaining ALL DAY, while normally my battery goes down with about 20% a day..
The problem is situated in WM itsself I guess :s
It also isn't something that happened once, it has occurred more often...
I also shut down the phone every evening and boot it up every morning, but I never experienced any trouble with that. Even letting the battery go flat to about 3% and then a full recharge (as wel leaving the phone turned on as letting it shut down by itsself) didn't help...
Any Idea's / experience with it?
Thanks in advance,
Borai
The answer is in the information you've provided; The WM "4-bar" display shows 25% per bar. If S2U2 is showing 26%, that's over 25%, and therefore showing two bars
A small explaination:
- 4 bars = 100% - 76%
- 3 bars = 75% - 51%
- 2 bars = 50% - 26%
- 1 bar = 25% - 0%
As for the battery draining faster / slower than usual, it all depends on usage. In low signal areas the battery will drain faster as it spends more ticks trying to get a connection. Turning the screen on and off consumes battery power, using WiFi, leaving applications running in the background... Any number of causes.
Not really
At the moment I'm at 21% according to S2U2 (yes, a full day and I only used 5% battery power, not really possible I think...)
The battery indicator in the right corner still shows 2 bars... And the indicator from 'all settings' still shows 3 blocks left...
There is defenitely something strange going on, because I never really experienced this problems when the phone was brand new...
searched this sub-forum for a bit, and the results were a bit strange. i have this problem with battery life , i have N1 set for my google mail account , and apparently it does checks like every few minutes or so. so far so good. the weird thing is , when i put it away , the battery drains really fast , like 5-7% per hour, which is a lot.i thought something might be going on , until i saw this page in settings about your battery , when it says how much of your battery have been consumed doing what , so what is top on your list? mine is idle , with 86% of the whole consumption . that's rediculous , i only had it for like 3-4days , fiddling with it all the time , and battery seemed ok with me , considering the amount of processing i was demanding , but the idle time consumption , just doesn't add up
any suggestions?
oh bytheway , is there any app that would show accurately your battery meter in numbers?
"Idle" probably refers to the percentage of your CPU that's not being used.
I'm using System Monitor free mkt app for Batt % as well as CPU, Memory & Storage usage.
thnx galaxys for your app suggestion , sure give it a try
any other ideas for this kinda problem?
Nexus GPRS activation on UK-O2 network
Sorry if landed in wrong thread, but noticed the initial poster was using Nexus on UK-O2 network.
How do I activate GPRS on the Nexus manually?
the O2 network provides this but my phone says this service not activated, despite being subscribed to an unlimited internet plan.

Hello,
I can't believe this has not been mentioned already - but I've done a search and I can't see anything regarding this subject.
I'm just curious as to the battery chart in regards the Display. It is always really high. As a test - I charged my phone to 100% and then over night left my phone alone, with the screen off to see what the stats were. When i awoke the battery chart had the display eating up 54% (even though the screen had been off all night).
Is that normal? Can the Battery useage chart be trusted?
I'm running a rooted device - with XE2.
Am I missing something here
My chart has been 100 precise for me. Post a screen shot if you can.
Also make sure you are not running NoLED.
Yep, ill sort a screen shot out.
And what is NoLED?

So you are NOT running it
It is a utility that uses your screen to display notifications, because there is no LED indicator on the phone that flashes for missed calls, voicemails, messages, etc.
NoLED displayes those little dots on the black screen itself.
Theoretically it makes the screen to be always on, and wastes extra power. But again there is a huge market for that great app (developed by an XDA member here).
Ok - here is a screen shot. Anyone else getting results like this even when the screen is off??
I got the same battery issue like you when i was on KE1.

i have the same problem, my sgs2 is so bad whit the battery life, i cant use the phone a normally working day from 07:00 until 17:00.. and allways i see the screen in the battery chart all the time whit more then 50% battery usage.
if this problem still exist, i will sold my device, thats not for a daily use..
Same answer as always .
Your display has been the part of the phone that has used most of the power used .
NOT your display is using 70% of the battery .

but did you read the first post from the theard owner? over the night, the display stay the whole night off, and use more then 50% battery.. thats not normal sorry.. a device which runs between 4 and 6 houers its a device for fun and play, but not more..
when im driving to the work i need 1 hour and 20min.. in this time, the screen is maybe 10min on while im listening music, and in this 1 hour and 20min my battery drain is 22%..
unbelivable...
from 07:00h in the morning until 12:00h 5 hours later, my battery is on 50%. i had htc desire hd before, and this device had a 1300mah battery and it was better than samsung whit 1600mah..
im really dissapointed..
The display = the majority use of the battery fact .
OP thinks display showed using 54% of the battery overnight .
It showed as a percentage of the total power consumed that the display consumed 54% so if the battery dropped 10% of its capacity overnight then 54% of that was from turning the screen on .
I repeat the battery usage shows what has been using the battery as a percentage of the amount used it does not show the battery drain ,Or even amount of battery used in that time frame
||||||||||Drained 50% of battery today display 20% .
Drained 30 of battery yesterday display 70% ..
WHY HOW AND other stuff regarding battery usage on SGS 1 forum .
jje
after the night was the battery down 54%, e.g. have you lost %46 battery over night? Or was battery down to lets say 90% but display accounted 54% of that 10% loss???
Battery 100% to 99% that is 1% used thats clean with no battery stats .
Battery stats usage shows Display 74% .
Or the display has used 74% of the 1% used .
Its a really simple reading of the usage of the battery by the varying components its not a measure of the battery .

thats what alot of people dont understand it seems........
i think we didnt understand us..
i try it again.
we start whit 100% full battery.. you dont touch your phone over the night.. and when you stand up, you look on it and see, the battery(only a example) is on 50%.. from this 50% which battery loose, 50% goes to the display.. so, the real drain from the display is 25%, over night, and you didnt switch it on.. you think that's not too much?

yes its a problem. when i do that same test on another phone, display does not appear in the list. if i charge to full at night, unplug and go to bed. when i wake up 8 hours later, the top of my list says Cell Standby, WiFi, Android OS. Display does not appear.
once i use the phone for a few minutes, display jumps to the top very quickly.

i want to share this whit you, at the moment it looks like my problem is gone.. i will take a look on it today, but right now i look on it, and after 6h over night whitout ac and any use, the display is not listed and my battery drain is in 6h 8%.
what i did:
- boot in recovery mode
- wipe data
- wipe cache
- power off
- boot in download mode
- download follow rom:
http://galaxy.androidgamer.org/Firmware/GT-I9100_XWKE7_XXKE4_OXXKE2.zip
(rom is splited in three files, pda modem and csc, csc is oxxke2 is newer than
the original one in the xwke7)
- in odin choose repartition, auto reboot and force time, i allways flash whit the
pit file, so download it to if you want
---> finish.. other steps like root is not neccesssary to describe here.
---> i will report again today in the evening.
for me its better right now.. i found the drain is to quickly again, but really much better.. something around 22h, but whitout a lot of use.. this time on the first place is the android os in the battery chart.. display is showed on the place 3..
Since last couple of days I am facing a strange issue ...
Usually while I sleep I am used to checking how much battery is still there ...e.g if the battery is say 95% full at night the next day it becomes at the most 93% (phone in the idle state) !!!
Now comes my problem , since a couple of days i have noticed that the battery is going down by about 7 to 8% in idle state , then i checked the battery consumption in the phone settings & to my surprise I saw "Android OS" taking 56% of battery in idle state & that means something is continuosly running in the background eating up my precious battery...What the hell can it be ??
I have not installed any indifferent app recently ...
I have seen better battery stats than mine. I don't know If something's wrong with my device (I have warranty tho so if it is, I can replace it)
I noticed that wifi is at the top of the list so I'm not sure what's going on.
I have greenify set for facebook because It destroys any battery. Also I disabled my location in case it was google now.
Accubattery shows 55% consumption while screen on (3h 29 SOT) while 38% of the battery gone while the screen is off (80% of that time is in deep sleep)
In the android's battery stats, wifi appears above screen in battery consumption.
Overall it's 16h 45 min of total battery life at 5% battery left.
I have seen 5h, 7h SOT so I don't exactly know what to expect.
I really need a hand because I can't let this pass if it's really a battery issue.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe you want to post a BBS log in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884 to get proper help.

Nobody knows which device, bootloader status, dual sim, WiFi, apps, settings, rom etc. you are using. So please be so kind and provide these informations.
Also a full cycle of better battery stats is useful with all screens provided.
And as bullfinch110 said: there are threads(older) with battery tips
I'm sorry. I couldn't find a way to upload screens without external links and xda wouldn't let me.
Its xt1641, dual sim but i've only charged it with one.
Stock 6.0.1 Rom
Locked bootloader
Wifi is always on in that cycle. I've disabled today "enable wifi on deepsleep" to see what's up
I've also restored network settings.
