I have battery drain also SGS 8GB version, checked Darkys RC5 final and DebusROM battery is drained 1% by one 1% every minute or close. What i need to add is a probably memory leak even newest game like NOVA 2 couldnt load maps sometimes and have very big lags like for 10 second pausing the whole game.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schlabbernr1:
tested with SGS 8gb Gingerbread 2.3.3 /JVK, w./ Darkys Rom V 10 RC4;

turned wlan on/off with widgetsoid, used apps like facebook & Uno

I´ve actually tested new wifi/modem drivers with no results.

yepp, i wont chancge to gingerbread neither till the battery drain problem will be completely gone for sure. i'm on JSD right now, it's the latest froyo rom, it's pretty fast, i like it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I am still on JVB and my phone usually lasts for 3-4 days. I just reboot after playing games though. LOL I have not found any apps outside game apps that trigger Android OS battery drain. Aside from that, battery really is awesome in GB. We just cannot have all the good things for now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] glitzz:
Hi there,

How could you manage to make your sgs to last for so long?

mind to share the rom you flashed?not a heavy user aint?

for me, darky's v9.5 can only last for 1day max and currently on MIUI which is worst <8hours...is not MIUI's fault maybe?I ams still trying with different kernal for MIUI...

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I am on Wifi more than 12 hours a day, I use my roaming sim and can only access 3G signal on my current location, I listen to music and fm radio everyday, play games occasionally, I have atleast 3 app services running in the background, call, text, check email everyday. Constantly checking Market. Thats just my daily routine. No sort of heavy use of phone.

What I did? Nothing extraordinary actually. I am not a fan of lagfix or optimization. Even when I was on JPY my battery is already like that. I just use my phone until it completely turns off, charge it to full while it is off. And when "Suspend/Base System" kicks in when in use, I just reboot my phone (I installed Watchdog Lite by the way).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
I just played last night the first round of resco bubbles then i quit it. So over the night my battery consumption went from 3%/6hrs to 30%. I am on stock xwjvh deodexed rooted. Stock kernel. There is no way we can get rid of this bug. It is present also on nexus s so i think we will just have to live with it. Or maby just chose another os... maby i'll buy myself some apples.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lenny.chem.dat:
Hi guys,

first, I want to thank jbdroid and the others for keeping the discussion alive and still looking for answers.

I'm also heavily affected by the Battery drain on my i9000 and I'm not even playing any Games.

I've tried different ROMs and right now I'm running on JVO with CF-Root (flashed with bootloader, re-partition and wipe). Still, the drain persists and I often have to reboot the phone twice before supend keeps quiet.

Last thing I've figured is that uninstalling WeatherBug helped.

So for me, JVO doesn't solve the problem.

Also, in the google code forum, first users are complaining about the problem on the Galaxy S II. So obviously neither google nor Samsung have found THE SOLUTION :D yet.

I will try this (and keep monitoring with watchdog) after charging the battery again and post first results this evening.

Again, thanks for the help!

Edit:

After half a day without and almost one day with the autokiller settings, I can at least see a difference: with "battery" and "sleeper" on, the CPU-usage of the suspend-process goes down from ~50% to 20%. So, the battery lasts longer but watchdog doesn't give me the alarm any more. Thus, I'll disable autokiller again and keep rebooting...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocMarc73:
Must confim os bug still present in jvo + cf root. Everything fine until i played asphalt 5. Had to reboot.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] csaadaam:
Hi!

I'm also having the drain on Darky's V10.1. Everything is fine until playing with games. After that, drain comes, and reboot doesn't seem to fix it :(

Is there any other method? Or should I reboot 2-3-more times?

And by reboot do you mean turning off the phone and getting the battery off for a few minutes?

Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
hey. just reboot without taking the battery out. if it does not work, reboot again. that is what i am doing. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Yep you don't have to remove the battery anymore. Sorry I did not update the first post. My bad :D

EDIT: Updated the first post. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
has anyone found other workarounds?

this actually makes my phone unusable..

I'm now so scared to run any apps cos it might trigger battery drain.

Rebooting is an option, but it takes at least a full minute to reboot and if I do it every time after playing some games on it, I'm pretty much wasting 20 mins of my life everyday :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Same here. Because of this bug I dont play games that much anymore. I am thinking of going back to froyo but I am afraid of losing my progress data. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redstar2k:
It looks like google did something in some kernel version that was supposed to fix this bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126#c290

Now I just need a kernel for my stock JVO that would include this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
So, basically the workaround for this issue, is to set "Wifi sleep policy" to never, which in turn consumes battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
"A workaround for this issue, until such time as it is included in an update (who am I kidding) is to disable wifi sleep policy. Set it to 'never' so the wifi driver doesn't unload itself and you will not have this issue."

i definitely did set wifi sleep policy to never, and i definitely still experienced android os drain a lot.. so this might be another unsolved issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
From this quote:

There are a lot of things that could trigger Android OS bug. The wifi issue is for the Nexus One. Sadly for SGS it is not determined publicly yet. (Read the whole comment on the link, it has more insights that I could say myself).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i just want to remember you all happy that this is the fix that we tested already bcm4329 driver compiled from latest sources and that had no impact on your problem ;)

As I said before: I don't play any games on my SGS and have WiFi off during most of the day and still had the Battery drain going on, even after rebooting.

So I deleted one app after another and found the Zimly Media Player to cause the suspend bug on my phone.

Easy as it is:

Deleted it, and now I have 2 Days of battery again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
It seems like different people get the battery drain bug from different applications. I also have Zimly player but the drain starts after playing Cordy or listening to music on Double Twist. I may have to go back to Froyo again since I don't want to get rid of doubletwist and I don't want to reboot my phone everytime...

I'm going to try autokiller to see if things improve
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
cordy definitely triggers battery drain.

great game but pity we can't play it lol

does any one know a link to jpy firmware with bootloader?

(include boot.bin, sbl.bin)

I've tried samfirmware.com but sadly it doesn't include bootloader.

Same for xda multiple threads..

I think I'm going to downgrade to froyo now..

can't really handle this after a month.

any help appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taekdar:
Had this problem also and seems solved by deleting the dalvik cache from CWM.

Don't really know if this is the solution or it was the reboot that fixed it, but it hasn't happened since.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tatsuya79:
If you're still on JVB try to flash to JVH + chainfire kernel before moving back to Froyo (Fugu is still JVB based).

JVH fix some games misbehaviour for sure (I tried the same games on JVB vs JVH).

I disabled my watchdog since this combination, not a single android os drain. (I just killed samsung sync just in case)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Thanks for the tip! Will do that tonight. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
what I found was that some of the third party app could trigger android os bug. for me the app was astro file manager.

after removing astro file manager android os bug is gone and so is the battery drain. now i get about 18 to 20 hours with normal usage (wifi on, 3g, phone, music, no map usage)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Weird. I have been using Astro but it does not trigger any problem on my phone. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Can anyone help me with froyo firmwares with bootloader included?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
You can try this:

It is said to be a multi European CSC so most probably it has XEU and also it is the latest froyo release and has bootloader in it. Hope this helps :)

EDIT: My bad, there is no XEU in it. You can still use it but you have to change CSC file with one that has XEU.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
cheers buddy :):)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -IK-:
Nope, Android OS battery drain still happens on JVH after playing games.

I thought my phone was cured too

I'm starting to think that the problem is related to the phone sensor drivers. Definitely the gyro sensor would be a prime culprit, but maybe even the proximity sensor.

To test the gyro, perhaps we could try playing games but disable gyro controls.

I'm going to go back to Froyo myself as there's no benefit to Gingerbread with this issue, and others such as the browser scroll bug....I mean feature :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tatsuya79:
Probably, I said "fix some games misbehaviour" and I tested those I had with success, I can't talk about every games on the market.

Now to the point I'm thinking about: Gameloft games seem to be reported a lot with the android os problem.

To be honest I'm not really confident with this game developer, their forums are full of complains and they are slow to fix some really obvious bugs for some particular phone models.

Moreover, they have a lot of different versions of a same game made for several particular devices. If you downloaded a game which is not from the market don't blame your device if it is misbehaving because it is not fully compatible.

(That's a general warning I give here, I don't target anyone and it's not my problem)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -IK-:
I'm doubtful that the problem comes from bugs in Gameloft software as the battery drain has happened to people who don't play games and have stock phones.

I get the problem just as much on polarbit games. The only similarity is that both companies use the GPU and sensors in their releases. That is hardly a way to be more specific in identifying the problem.

If I was more talented with Android development, I would test to see if it was possible to replace current Gingerbread hardware drivers with ones from earlier Froyo ROMs that didn't exhibit battery drain issues.

I'm not confident that Samsung will bother to fix this issue as their customer service isn't very good and they are now concentrating on SGS II.

The best fix so far seems to go back to the last Froyo ROM that was without this issue. After all, Gingerbread has bugs other than this one.

Fast5 from gameloft - always triggers berserk mode on my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
Did you manage to flash back to froyo with bootloaders? I thought that gingerbread bootloaders worked with froyo as well (I went from JVK back to 2.2.1 before).

I tried the autokiller "battery + sleeper" trick but it didn't work. Suspend process still around 47% with watchdog alerts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Just incase you want to know, I downgraded to the latest froyo release, XWJSD.

It has bootloader but it doesnt have XEU so I have to do it the hard way. Here is a guide if you care to know, hope this helps:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14219457&postcount=82

I played games, did usual stuff, etc., and yet no battery drain so far. Very stable and fast. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
Just a quick update, I posted this in another thread too:

I've been using c0llal0-r3l0ad3d-4.5[BUJV9] custom rom for the past couple of days and it seems that the Android OS issue may be gone. There was 1 time yesterday when the android OS percent increased when I put it in airplane mode for a couple of hours, but when using the phone normally, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Also, listening to DoubleTwist with headphones and playing Cordy does not seem to trigger the drain anymore. I'll continue monitoring things. (I also have SNS frozen via titanium backup).

So for those bit by the suspend bug, with some free time, maybe you can try JV9 and see if that solves the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheeshun:
I got the exact same problem. After play fast 5 on sgs, my batt drain like nobody business the next morning. One symptom is the slight heat emitting from the phone. (with my screen off though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
its 'hot' because cpu is above 90% during that time

i cant reproduce this behaviour with any of games (even tryed pirated ones;) or apps its said to produce

but i am cooperating with one user that experiences such issue to determine what realy happens there

i am starting to belive that was an issue of kernels compiled out of 'the outdated samusung source' as i never used those. hopefully now when updated_source was released by samsung all them kernel_deves will switch to it and that will fix your issues
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rofa1:
As the man said....case closed. It ain't Samsung specific. It's happened to me once in what? 3 weeks and I can't reproduce it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
it has nothing to do with custom kernels. as already mentioned this issue happens with a stock rom (including stock kernel, nothing even touched) with no application whatsoever installed.

Android OS Battery bug

Hi!

1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.

2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.

3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.

At this point you can try the following;

- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)

- Remove your external SD card.

- Start up your phone again.

- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;

- Backup your data first!!!

- Settings -> SD card & phone storage

- Unmount SD card

- Format SD card

- Restore files from your backup.

If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;

- Backup your data first!!!

- Settings -> SD card & phone storage

- Format internal storage

- Restore files from your backup.

More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.

I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

Best regards,

/Pontus

Hello,

I have my DHD only with two months of use. Now i decide to perform a Nandroid Backup, of the original rom.

I already have installed "rom manager", "visionary+", but when i go into recovery mode the DHD shows this message:

Can't open /cache/recovery/command

And don´t shows the backup option.

What can i do? I want to make a backup of my DHD before flashing it with custom roms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
you must perform temp root + perm root first..

after that , open rom manager , and click "flash clorkworkmod" ..

after that, you can use the recovery
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Installing Visonary and ROM Manager isn't enough to have ClockworkMod flashed. You need to Permroot with Visonary first then you need to have Eng-S-OFF to flash CWM and then you can make a nandroid backup.

But why would you want a nandroid back up? Just use something like My Backup/Titanium Backup to backup everything. People make nandroids because they're doing things that could possible harm their devices, if you don't plan on doing this then simple backups are best. then again I could be wrong, you might want to root and play around with roms. either way read the guides in developer forum :)
