I have compared the two versionst of barebones (that based on froyo and that based on CM7). With froyo I get about 27 instead of 18 hours with approximately the same use (3G always on, a lot of browsing, installing apps and configuring, few calls and messages).
[Defy General] spy king:
Hey,

I need some help.. I was earlier getting 15-16 hours with the official SEA froyo ( no 3g or data, wifi for 10mins max, 15mins calls and about 50-60 texts)

then updated to the latest SEA froyo, and managed to get about 18-20 hours..

Now with Cm7 (Boot 179), I am getting about 23-25 hours.. but with no 3g or data or any such thing..

What could possibly be the reason? What kind of signal strength are you guys getting?
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
new batteries are weak..they need many charging cycle to give its best..most probly same thing happened in ur case..and OS also plays an important role in giving good battery backup :)
[Defy General] spy king:
Well yeah, I completely discharged it and switched of the phone and charged it up fully, re calibrated the battery.. will check how much I get on this charge!

Will also upgrade my sim to the newer ones this week and see if there is any improvement!
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
i normally get 3-4 days on CM7 with no 3g, wifi on for an hr..5-6 calls a day..40-50 msgs a day..an hr a day of music...but with 3g on and gaming in addition i get 2-3 days :)
[Defy General] spy king:
7hrs 5m

72%

1hr 46mins of calls

30 texts

no music/games/browsing wifi/data/bluetooth anything!

:( I was hoping for better!

What baseband switcher are you on? I used the this one and selected India..
[Defy General] Scotty83:
well some how i am able to control my battery drain .

i reflashed cm7 but this time on SEA 2.2.2 froyo sbf, than install the base band switcher and selected section with Indias name.

now my battery is 38 % after 32 hours

voice calls 40 mins

display on over 1 hr

stopped data connection in the night(there was data saver option in indian froyo but not in cm7 so have to do it manually)

claibrated battery after flasing

unabled location in web browser, manually selected brightness at lowest level

so now i am happy with battery life

post ur current usage when the screen is off with BMW

can you guys post whats the ma utilization from BMW ?

Am on Cm7 110808 nightly (stock 2.2.2 -> cm7 rc1v2 ->cm7 nighlty 110808)

With this am stilling testing the battery life.

On stock 2.2.2, i was getting around 2day max with nill-to-moderate use

(20sms, 20min calls, 20min wifi, 15% screen brightness, 2g only, all sync-off)

with cm7 rc1v2

it was around 1 and half days, less than stock, here battery used by screen was very high, used 5% brightness, no luck, so moved to 110808

with nightly 110808, testing

With all of these, am using battery mon widget(BMW), when the screen is off, it shows a constant of 20-30ma usage in history.

my guess it shd be around 1-5 ma,

partial-wake looks fine.. no apps keeping it awake.

yes after each flash, i hv wiped cache/devilk cache/battery stats

As you can see my usage is very low, but still am not able to get more than 2days, someguys hv posted they hv got 4-5days.....

Since am from stock 2.2.2, so its SEA, moving to boot179 will it make any diff ?

(correcting, rc1v2 updated kernel to boot179)

with nightly 110808: after 22h, its shows 48% left,

phone idle 25%, cell stdby 20%, voice calls: 18%, dsply:17%, AndroidSys:10%, Adroid-OS:5%, Goex-launc:2%, bmw:2%, dialer:2%

==

update2

I hd read some posts here, that sea kernel give better battery, since i flashed rc1v2, this updated the kernel to boot179. So i flashed bootsea 110726, then 110814. With this i found no diff in battery backup, while my phone was sleeping, i us to see 20-30ma usage. Also my SIM is 6yrs old, so i replaced with newone.

Its 23hrs now, my battery is 79% :D with some calls/sms. BMW shows around 10ma while at sleep, still i see ppl reporting less than 5ma while sleeping. Not bad, looking good so far.

phone idle 34%, cell stdby 26%, voice calls: 7%, dsply:19%, AndroidSys:6%, Adroid-OS:4%, Goex-launc:2%, bmw:2%, dialer:2%

And thanks to cm7defy devs for making such a wounderful rom.
[Defy General] gkai:
I have exactly the same behavior as you describe, with screen off and defy sleeping, it draw between 21 and 23 mA (shown on BMW, I guess it is per 5 minutes???).

I draws about 12-15% of battery life per night, consistently (wifi off, 2G only, after a fresh reboot). And usually, screen is shown as using around 40% in the settings/about phone/battery use, even after long period of screen off.

So there is either of problem with screen power management...or the battery reporting is not reliable (or both...I suspect that battery usage is sometimes completely off the mark, cause after I just launch and stop copilot navigation, before it can have drawn much juice, and check battery after many hours of phone use withot using copilot, it often appear as high as 40% too. Its not really easy to optimise battery life on CM7 further than what I have done: strong undervoltage, screen on auto with quite dim settings, no 3G (no data plan anyway ;-) ), and wifi only when needed...But with 13% battery/ 8h with phone sleeping, there is no way to go above 1.5 days with normal use, even sleeping the all time, the phone will go dry in 2.5 days :-(
[Defy General] hanu_blr:
yes, mine also it draws 12-15% per night, though my phone is seeling all night.

I noticed some spikes in the BMW during night times, it goes to as high as 60-70ma sometime more to.

I hv disabled all sync stuff, but dont know wats eating my battery :(

With stock i was getting 2day + few hrs more. I moved to cm7 only bcause of getting better battery, but for me its looks like i get less than stock now for the same kinda of usage :confused:
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
some application might be eating battery...try to findout which one..
[Defy General] gkai:
Well, I have tried to find out a lot, and no application report any significant power: in battery use, I've typically screen+phone innactive+GSM network (in 2G) eating most of the power....The situation is the same after a boot, and I do not have much widgets running on screens, the the possible canditates for battery drain are really few. Could try a CM7 just after a data wipe, to check what the stock CM7 gives. But I somehow doubt it would be different, as most users report this 10-15% per 8 hours (which would be 1-2% per hour) and they have different settings and apps installed...
[Defy General] Ketres:
Do you use end-list-app ?

Hey,

Need some inputs, I noticed that my "phone signal" doesn't remain a solid block, but is very intermediate. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong?

I have stopped charging my battery every night, but letting it discharge almost fully (4-5%) and then charging it up. Seems to be helping!
[Defy General] Commilfo:
Hey,

We have several cases (different Defys) when in idle mode (screen off, no apps, no 3g/wifi etc) it takes around 12% per night (8 hours => battery ends in 2 days without touching the phone), and simply changing a SIM card makes it 1-2% per night.

So, some SIM cards drain much.

There was a case mentioned few pages before when changing a very old SIM card fixed high consumption, we have same problem with new SIMs.

There was a thought that it can be due to SIM menu on a card (in a case when mobile operator gave 2 cloned cards one with SIM menu, the other without, and the first one drained much), but a lot of people have SIM menus and no problem with battery ..

Any ideas?
[Defy General] labsin:
I get about 35u out of a full charge with quite some ussage:

Check mail/xda

Read news

Surf web

Play some games

Facebook

I'm on default CM7 vcel's at 1000hz.

Always on 3g but mobile network disabled. Wifi uses much less.

When not using phone much (only sms and not online at all) and on 2g i reach almost 3 days.

When on mobile internet and playing more games I can get it empty in less than 12u.

Display is highest consumer so I put my brightness as low as possible. If auto-brightness isn't that good, I set it manually with notification widgets (CM7).
[Defy General] labsin:
It seems that it's not that healthy for the lit-ion battery. Personally, I charge it almost every night cause often it doesn't reach the second night.

@ketres: An app that auto-kills apps don't work. Cause it makes it go out of sleep mode and uses more power to kill than it saves. Kill the apps ones seems to work for me to. Apps like firefox and skype seem to keep using energy and do not revive after you kill them.
[Defy General] jaro689:
is there any way to fix battery drain on 3g ?

it's really terrible, mine defys battery life is under 10hrs wit 3g turned on.

Hi guys, Im having high consumption with display, anyone that´s not having that issue can share how it´s configured?

I dont have problem with wifi/3g/plane mode, the consumption is ok. But on regular use, display spends more then 30% of the battery.

currently on nightly 110927, but that´s happening since RC1.

Anyone else having this?

Hey,

some water got on my galaxy s and now i can't boot my phone anymore..it freezes at the first galaxy s logo. i can get into download mode, but odin doesn't add my phone...so i don't know if my phone is on debugging mode...the problem now is that i can't get into recovery mode...it also freezes at the first galaxy s logo...

is there any chance to flash a rom or anything else?

Thanks for help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Define "some water". Did it get splashed, if so on the front or the back? Was it dunked? How long until you fished it out and started drying it?

No matter what you should open the back, remove the sd card, SIM card and battery...take a hair drying on low to all of it for awhile, maybe store the whole lot in a bag of rice overnight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tschakle:
it wasn't so much water :-/ ... i did all that i could ... but nothing change :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
From what you are describing the only way the water could be responsible, as far as I know, would be if it damaged the internal SD card or its connectors.

Can you get into Recovery or Download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tschakle:
i can get into download mode, but not into recovery :-/ ... it also freezes if i want to boot into recovery ... is there any chance to get into recovery ?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I would give it a day or so to dry...then if you are still having this problem use ODIN to flash EZBase and see if that solves your problem. Then flash the ROM of your choice.

Plenty of good tutorials about how to do that. look at www.androidsoul.com for EZBase guides.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
"just some water" is still pretty vague, as it was asked; a splash? Dunked? Define "some water" specificaly please

And, for the record, if an electronic device gets "watered", this is the way to go:

-Take it out of the water as fast as possible

-Remove the battery (and the cards, like SD, Sim, etc.)

-remove excess water with a towel

-dunk the thing in a bag/bowl full of rice so that it is fully covered

-Let it rest for 24 to 48 hours
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
What this man said.

Also, if it is still getting into download, but not recognized in ODIN....try placing the phone in Download, connecting to your PC, then rebooting. I remember back in the 2.1 days I had to do that to get it to appear in ODIN a couple times.

If not, the water may in fact have damaged the USB connector. Are you getting any acknowledgement on behalf of your system that the device is connected? Right click My Computer > Properties > Device Manager and see if it is recognizing any sort of Samsung device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
I thought the Galaxy's had holograms pop up on the back of the phone if it was water damaged?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
Don't think so, atleast I haven't noticed anything.

I'm a firefighter and have lost count of how many times my SGS has got wet, I even managed to submerge it when we had major flooding at the end of last year.

Every time just make sure I dry it out completely (can sometimes take 12-24 hours) and it works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mellovia:
If your cell as water inside again,

Have a trick for you for the next time...

I will say it for the next time.. Now its maybe too late...

Don't start your phone before this trick.. You may prodice a shortcut or something else domage.

So,

Accessories:

- bowl

- rice

- your phone... Any device.. Any fw and any OS ;-)

Procedure:

-- Take your rice and put a pretty good quantity into your bowl..

-- pick up your phone and remove battery sd card etc..

-- put all the pieces of your phone in the bowl of rice

-- make sure it is covered and set the table.

-- wait 3-4days.. And enjoy..

Have nice day :-D

So far you cannot use Sense UI on Infuse.

Maybe someday someone will hack Sense onto Infuse, but not soon.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] avneeshp500:
Go to partition sd card. Then partition it use standard values if u want. Swap 32mb n sd ext 512mb or whatever u want. Then cnvert ext2 to ext3 and cnvert ext3 to ext4
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
Which recovery are you using? I suppose it's AmonRA.

Go to "Partition sdcard", then choose "Partition SD ", after that set Swap 0 , sd ext 512MB.

You don't need to convert to ext3 or ext4 because by default after partitioning you will get an ext2 and it is the fastest.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
this is the right procedure for amonra and if using clockwork just create a 512mb partition it will automatically convert the partition to ext 4,choose swap 0
