Aaa you wrote too much and now am watching something in TV. BUT the problem ISNT in samsung but the app ... All games work one makes trouble. And you all assume its the roms fault?...

Grrr. That rom has like 2 bugs and 1 of them is fixed. Second one forgot...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xRainbowZx:
What is the fixed bug? I have the battery drain bug and the browser bug? And no one of them are fixed :-|
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _-mike-_:
The bugfix worked in my case!

I charged my phone to 100% in the forenoon (~11:00am) and I only had 21% left at 7:20 pm.

Now it's 11:30 pm and I still have 20% after I removed the data of the OTA-Update app.

nice regards

Happens after I play asphalt 5...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Good thing it worked for ya.

What I did was to delete that app using titanium backup so that it never happens!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shocky2:
I seem to have this bug, Android OS is using 49% of battery, disabling software update has done nothing for me so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I suggest you to "freeze" this app or delete it using titanium backup and see what happens.

Because I found it to auto log-in couple of times even though I deleted its data and so on.

I got so fed up and deleted this app and my android OS now between 4-6% max.

If this is not the cause of battery drain due to high android OS, we need to find out other possible fixes.

Anyone with what they think is a possible fix for this particular battery drain, pleas share!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I know Android OS sometimes get hungry and devours battery but I have a very simple solution: Turn off device, remove battery for a minute, put it back then turn it ON.

Yeah after you turn on your device Android OS is still on the top with high percentage but I believe it is just as it is because it previously consumed a lot of battery. All you have to do is observe again for an hour if your battery is dropping again. Then after a couple of hours you will see that Android OS's consumption is getting low.

Why go through deleting apps, recalibrate battery etc when you could just turn off your device for a minute?

Besides it is not just Auto update app that could trigger that problem. Other apps like Google Maps, Latitude and even just in a place where there is very low network signal or Wifi reception could also trigger Android OS to go berserk.

I have experienced it a lot of times already (one of the first who upgraded to JVK) but it doesn't bother me anymore. Turning off then on your device is very simple ain't it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
Those of you with high drain, you can also check battery history through *#*#4636#*#* and see what you have under other usage 'running' and see if your phone has not been sleeping lately. I get this occasionally with froyo and I suspect many people do also. A reboot fixes it for me, after that my battery usage is superb, but it's annoying as hell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Hey Angel, I posted a thread about this fix, can I quote you? So that credits will go to you. I think they need to know also your above post. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
Sure, go ahead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
I agree with the OP in that this too may be due to some stock app or service. It may be starting up with the phone and preventing it from sleeping. My setup is pretty barebones, the only apps I have installed do not have permission to startup on boot.

It just occured to me to check the partial wake usage right after this problem happens and see if something stands out. I'll remember to do it next time and I invite anyone else who sees this behavior to do this also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myphnix:
How to reduce the usage of display,cuz mine reach 72% on XXJVK.The rest got minimum usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
Set brightness level to minimum and/or flash a custom rom that tweaks the brightness to go even lower. Its still going to be the highest thing you see in usage, it takes a lot of juice to power this beautiful screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myphnix:
Thanks angel,

Right now i already installed "Display Brightness Settings" and i've set it to 1%.Which it drops from 72% to 67% only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0utkast:
K i am also having this issue now , i have clear data , and then unistalled software update but i see my android OS as 70% .

2:00 pm - 99% 2:48 - 88%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Like I said Android OS is not triggered only by software update, actually there is NO supporting evidence that it is the main culprit! A lot of things can trigger Android OS to gobble up battery...

If you want a simple fix and want to know more, read this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeKootsj:
The simple fix works like a charm for me! a bit strange is that i have the "Android-system" in my battery-use-list TWO times! once its 60-70% and one time it says only 3-5 %. but why TWO times?? anyone have an idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elviroo:
do you have a short appearing strange screen at the startup (booting)? then your problem is you didnt flash with jvb bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Groch:
I have deleted OTA Update apk from system with Titanium Backup, but this doesn't solve high drain Android OS service... I have been using JVK about 2 weeks, I have only CF root, deodex and all apps from market, no illegal...

Can somebody upload OTA service apk from /system/apk from deodexed JVK or JVB ROM? Thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
Hmm the apks from the deodexed rom package from Ramad for example the CWM package (zip big 1XXMB) wont work? I mean just unpack the apk from the zip.

I has no idea, if one of these is it (probably not :p). Check which one is missing :) (why you need it anyway?)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
To reduce the usage of display, there's a good way : never power up or make your SGS going out of sleeping mode.

Have the MOST (72%) of battery usage with Display is the best thing you can have because you haven't process or device that eat power than the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Groch:
It was syncmldm.apk, thanks! (I heard that after 2.3 release samsung will support OTA for quick-fixes)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0utkast:
well i hope so, i done that quick fix and it worked. was on 82% battery and about 2 hours later still on 82% .

Problem is that if i start playing with my phone again somehow it comes back up.

I tried narrowing it down but no luck.

Well hope the Fixes will come soon will welcomed with open arms :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
you might want to take a look at this thread, in the last posts i wrote a possible solution to the problem but more people is needed to test it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
The fix has been working on JVK and JVB ROMs, check other threads about this issue. You can delete the data of the Software Update application, but it will be regenerated after a reboot. If you want to get rid of this, just root the phone and delete the following APKs

syncmldm.apk

syncmlds.apk

wssyncmlnps.apk

Just look at this: After 17 hours with light usage, still 68% battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I most of the time have that, if not better, battery usage. :)

Sooner or later you will have a battery problem again just like him:

Did you reboot your phone after that fix? You might care to read this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maliqfrz:
is it safe to delete all 3 apk files u mentioned?

would like to try this so that i can get battery consumption like yours but a little bit hesitant

are there any drawbacks or anything?

thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Don't delete any apps.

Just freeze them with titanium backup.

It has the same effect as deleting them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0utkast:
Thanks vcespon , trying it now hopefully it works.

Because after i reboot i get amazing batery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maliqfrz:
owh..but i dont have titanium backup pro, so i cant freeze apps..

(titanium free doesnt have the ability to freeze apps)

hmm any other way i can freeze those apps?

Nice piece of information, I tried freezing the software update app but noticed that once you restart phone, mobile tracker no longer works for me, I went to samsungdive.com and set phone to remote lock and nothing happened to phone, I re-enable software update and it works fine :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] parhelion69:
I flashed GingerCriskelo directly from CWM (I was on darky 9.5) and it gets the screen corruption on start. (And I didn't flash the bootloaders)

What are the consecuences of this? bad battery life? maybe some other problem as well?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pwhooftman:
Do not rule out Exchange accounts as the cause

In my experience, the Exchange Emailaccount battery drain is back in Gingerbread. For those who arent able to find the cause of their battery drain, but do have one or more Exchange enail accounts set up: try deleting your accounts for a day. SystemPanel App shows that my CPU is constantly pegged at around 10% during idle when Exchange accounts are set up, which halves battery life.

I went back to Froyo 2.2.1, battery life is back to normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Groch:
I'm not using exchange account (only google one with gmail sync) and I have battery drain issue... Bad clue...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] muchalw:
Hi,

I think I found the reason and workaround solution for high Android OS problem. It seems, that the problem is with WiFi driver in 2.3.3 release.

I usually use WiFi at home and at work. Never turn off WiFi. When I'm out - phone automatically turn on 3G. After flashing JVK I'm very impressive of battery life (less than 1% drain per hour - way better, than on Froyo). But sometimes, as we know - Android OS makes a huge drain... So I make some tests.

With WiFi ON all the time, when I walk out the WiFi network range and phone turns to 3G, I've always observed Android OS syndrome. When I reboot the phone, everything returned to normal.

But when I turned OFF WiFi being in the range of connected network - it never happens!

So my solution is simple - always turn OFF WiFi when You're going to leave Your network range.

Of course, when You see, that Android OS process is going to drain Your battery, the only way to stop it is rebooting Your phone. For me, it never happen, since when I use tips mentioned above.

Hope this helps and hope that Samsung will will solute this problem in next builds...

Greets!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] orodrethlars:
For me this android OS battery drain starts as soon as I open asphalt 5, been like this on both jvk and jvb. Dont even need to play just open it and exit and android os starts draining. A simple phone reboot stops the drain though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I have explained much about Android OS battery drain. It seems it is too late to explain it again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] a67543210:
its rather unfortunate that you are experiencing this issue. I experienced an extension of battery life after Jvb. I can now charge my phone after 1 and a half day of usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vjchipie:
You can use autostars for disable "Software Update" service from "After Startup", then this service don't execute. This is better than delete "Software Update" program, no?

Sorry by my english!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bashville:
I get the same. Not just Asphalt .. any CPU intensive activity. eg. graphic heavy games like Dungeon Hunter 2, Asphalt5/6, GT Racing, Hero of Sparta, Hawx ..

I also get a drain immediately after removing it from charge.

If I reboot immediately after removing the phone from charge (and don't play any games) I get great battery life (approx 75% better than 2.2.1)

Since only a few people are complaining about this drain perhaps I need to flash my phone again ..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hadji1:
i v got the battery drain prob since 2.2.1 JPY...so i dont think its a Gingerbread issue..

i had darkys 9.3 with an excellent battery life (36 hours normal usage) and droped to max 8hours when os syndrome hit me...That continued on JS8 on different Roms (darkys, Jwve's)...and then i flashed stock JVB and Jwve's 4.1 with cf kernel and...thank God i can use my phone again:rolleyes:...allthough my batt life is max 17-18 hours which is not so good, but considering what happened to some of us, is at least one day life (with phone off during night)

p.s. i also bought a new battery so that 18hours life is with a brand new battery..:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
This issue is really complex, because I'm not seeing that behaviour at all. Just did a test exclusively for this. Rebooted, Wifi, 3G, bluetooth GPS off. Kept the phone with screen off for 30 minutes. Opened Asphalt 5 and played for a couple of minutes. Exited the game and powered off screen. No extraordinary battery drain afterwards. Android OS appears very low on the list.

I'm running JVK, installed and hard-reset after that. CF-root and software update service blocked using autostarts utility.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] intronauta:
I see the problem with /system/bin/orientationd daemon/process. It stuck when some applications use the compass- orientation drivers and is preventing sleep mode.

In standby, in normal conditions, it doesn't appears and "So Android" consumption is normal:

adb shell -top -s cpu -m 15

But when I play at games like u-connect that are very sensitive with orientation feature, the daemon orientationd is stuck in memory until reboot and SO Android don't stop grow....

If I kill the daemon, nothing happens (autorestart) and kill and remove "execute" permission it works but with constant error in dmesg:

init: cannot execve('/system/bin/orientationd'): Permission denied

There is any safely way to restart this daemon-binary??

Sorry for my english :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tatsuya79:
@$omator: I tried it, wifi seems to be working without problem.

For the suspend bug, it happens to me when I launch a game (Bonsai Blast).

So I went to the market to download it again and after playing a bit, I left the phone on standby.

Then watchdog alerted me, suspend process above 40% CPU.

So no luck here but perhaps it can solve the problem of "wifi off when screen off" (I don't have this problem here, can't test it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yes that only should fix the wifi part of problem...

still some apps like duck hunter and cordy can cause high drain after close but thats those particular apps developer problem and can be solved by them only ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
here is tutorial how to make wifi go off right after screen off not after 15 minutes as it is set by default http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774507

also by editing build.prop line

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval

and setting it to 120 from 15 you make wifi scan every 2 minutes for new networks not every 15 sec as it is by default

120 seems to be max value here...

both have positive impact on bat if you use phone ;]

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mpierce:
I've just installed it on Juwes Gingerbread ROM v4.2 using Damian's overclocked GB Kernel 2.1, with JVK modem.

Watchdog currently showing suspend at 0.4% 0.0Mb after 58 minutes.

Will update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silalaval:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] silalaval:
Stock rom 2.3.3. with just normal root
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
Same here, I just settled for this:

1) Flash JVK with complete wipe

2) Root using fugu root

3) Flash back JVK stock kernel

4) Disable software updates using autostarts

I don't see Andoid OS ever taking more than 3% of battery. I have the same battery drain than with Android 2.1 or 2.2. Leaving the phone in standby for 8 hours it only takes 2-3% if 3G data is off (Wifi, bluetooth, GPS off too). I see this results pretty normal.

I have 4 GPU intensive games and none of them does anything after closing it. Maybe other games behave badly, in which case you should contact the developer.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
The "suspend" process is not misbehaving anymore when the phone is charging...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
afaik basicly suspend process turns your phone into sleep mode

but if something interupts it eg. broken driver/prcess/app it goes looped and drains battery in result

so as long your suspend proces drained your bat while wifi was on (could be that that was the case with you - you had wifi setting never when conected or whateva)

'my' potential_fix could repaired that ;]

this is good report please continue testing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
Your fix unfortunately doesn't fix this. Just some update. After restart everything is fine, of course. After I play Real Fotbal, the drain returns... :(

So it might be something about this game using some resource...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i gues

how do you know tha is this app?

try install the watchdog app for example -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/watchdog-task-manager-lite/com.zomut.watchdoglite

can you?

I didn't have any issues for a while then yesterday my android OS used 70% of my batter >_< so i read this and instead of deleting it i just renamed the file extension .kpa and now today my android os is using 2%. Thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
I didnt say that Real Fotbal is causing the drain. I'm saying that it makes the suspend process go nuts again.

I have watchdog installed and Sys Monitor. The suspend process is the cause of drain. It is just that it gets triggered by some apps... Like Real fotbal...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
What file did you renamed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] the4finger:
/system/app/syncmldm.apk

i changed the extension to an arbitrary name so that if i want it i can use it in the future by changing it back. all battery issues are gone. been using it all day and i'm on 77% battery still

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
Some weird stuff..

I've discovered a reproducible scenario for this issue:

-fresh reboot so we can kill the nasty suspend monster

-open XDA app

-go to a thread of your choice

-press home

-put phone in standby -pressing the power button.

If you have watchdog installed it should start screaming that the suspend is going crazy again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
no allert was trigered when i followed your steps. used free versions of both apps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ludovicianul:
This is always happening for me... :( No specific scenario then. I have XDA free too. Well...

Flashing a new modem can solve this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
only modem no - whole fw maybe yes

do not know, never had such issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Groch:
on default settings - Watchdog will not trigger alarm, you must enable monitoring of all system processess, and set cpu trigger value to about 20% (for me suspend process do not go above 30% in drain situation)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
if suspend process is looping its uptime will be high - mine was low

it might eat some rosources first i guess to make phone into deep sleep mode or whatever it is called

I found a hint how to fix the battery drain...

I always had battery drain after playing games like GT Racing (gameloft).

It started 5 min after ending the game that my Android OS went up to >50% sometimes even >80% without touching the phone.

After shutting off the auto rotation and restarting the phone, battery drain is gone, even after playing games.

One issue - many solutions (theoretically)

Hey to all guys having the battery drain issue even with android 2.3.3,

I ve read a serveral how-2s about stopping my ARM Proz to rock in idle...I picked out some advice and put my own into the solution collection, here we go:

1. Stop software updater in application monitor

2. NEVER use the stock google android market (I go with app-brain and works awesome till now :D)

3. If you ever encounter Adroid OS over 20% --> reboot! and follow step 1

Facts: All 2.3.X ROMs have this issue (at least at SGS1)

Hints: Depending on flashed modem, signal loss can also drain your battery a lot!
