Ok, i am on BE 4 and the battery bug is gone. One more point- if you restore your app+data using titanium , you may see the bug, therefore it is recommended that you restore the app only and perform wipe of whatever rom you are installing. I am running fugumod for 80+ hours and i have not seen the bug at all :)

I tried Maps, played angry birds, asphalt , ran layers for 2+ hours and the bug did not appreared for me atleast.

What is the deal with the battery draining? How many of you with battery draining are running on stock Kernel?

I keep reading about it but so far I only read that there is a problem and no one writes when and after which application is used does it happen and which Kernel they are running.

You will no reach far this way, you need to see what is common when the problem is there so you can eliminate assumptions.

kinda, just want one short anserw:

why none (nada,zip,zero) of apps mentioned here-there-anywhere made my phone need more of battery then usual after closing it?????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i am kinda focused of finding source of the problem not potential aka temproray fix of the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Your phone clearly does not have 'Android OS battery drain' which is the topic of this thread, why do you continue posting that you don't have the issue. I don't have the issue too but that is only because I use a different Kernel.

It's clear that many users does have this issue and this thread is for them and those that might have a solution for this particular problem, if you have then I think that you should post it, otherwise I see no point in your posts.

I hope that you read my post and understand it well before answering back.

No, you have a theory about what could be the cause of the problem, this theory is not based on your testings but about what other think that might be the cause of the issue, at the same time you say that there is no problem because your device does not have it, and thereby you offer no solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
why do you think its kernel related - ondemand particular ;)

i encourage you to flashe the kernel that will make you drain then =)

yes ok, its clear also that most users does not have such problem..

why not focus on why at first place they affected ended with any issue at all and why most of usters does not suffer from it

gimmeabreak - ive posted how i made my phone drain a litle, what was the cause and how did i fixed that one out

i surley need a deeper explanation form a wisehead as You

i have few theorys all based on my experiments or on logs provided by this community of users - same as you i can not test my findings on most reliable test machine that is ourselves

sorry to break the bubble for you but most of users got no idea what is goingon with their phones, same as us sometimes

well i kinda feel the need to tell anyone out there that on a properly flashed i9000 device with a firmware freely accesible via kies there is no problem with some mythical drains -
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Ondemand particular? Well, I did ask you to read my post carefully before you post, and you did not ofcourse, like all other posts that I have posted earlier, although I did explain which governors are used by the Gingerbread Kernel and why, you still don't get it...I can't help you with that when I can see that repeating the same does not help when you don't read to understand, sorry for you. :)

Yet there is several threads with the same subject: 'Andoid OS battery draining', you must be kidding!

Yes, you played a game and showed how the battery get used by the device, is that related in any way to the subject of the thread?

Take it from me, it will not help either if I could explain you anything, you think that you are right all the time, it's your problem not mine.

Until you can prove that your theories to be true then they will only be theories, you can't make people believe in theories until they are proved.

It's called 'burst the bubble' by the way.

Feel free to do that, I wish you all luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
1 damn youre arogant man =) hopefully that will lead you somewhere near to understanding the problem some day

2 yet there milions of flys can not be wrong some says..

3 yes and every single app that was reported to make phone into drain statr without such result - interesting? naah i must be wrong in reading the reading. after using app battery usage was not going into idle drain usage it must have been 10 gazilion of units but i just simply can not see it

5 am not trying to talk anyone into my theorys just looking for people that can help me understand the problem

and whatever its called means the same baby ;)

6 thank you for acknoleding my right to post here anyways and so fast ;]

i could just say hey

gimeabreak and let me sleep
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cerberix:
I think i have $omator's issue too. Anomalous battery drain due to android OS following exiting asphalt 5. I've also had autorotation set ON but i didn't try with autorotation switched OFF. I can make such a test but how can we be sure that the bug is OS-related and not app-related? Anyway, even if i have autorotation ON and i do not play to asphalt, i would not experience this issue at all.

Ps. I m on juwe 4.3.1 with CF kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] santope:
Ramad,

Thanks for your work and trying to help us out.

I will flash your modified JVH and see what happens. However, this kind of problems that cannot be easily replicated are hell to pin down.

Example:

Today (this is why I am back to this thread) my wife had put an alarm for 7:00 and during the night the battery plummeted, the phone as dead and she missed her gym class. I had told her previously I had some battery problems. So she thought I had swapped the battery in her phone with mine. She has exactly the same software as me (deodexed JVO, rooted, from your post) for over a month, but unlike me, never a problem. The only recent thing that we did in her phone was to sync a Picasa Web Album to her gallery. Before she never used Picasa. A link maybe?

Anyways, this is a small real life story about this elusive bug...

One small question: when you say you use a different kernel, which one do you mean?

Thanks,

Pedro
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You are welcome and I hope that the Kernel does help on your devices.

More than 40 members have downloaded the Kernel, I only got feedback from 3 of our members, and so far they were positive.

What I mean by different Kernel is it differs from Samsung stock Kernel by having Userspace governor disabled, it's the Kernel that I have uploaded here which is the same Kernel that I use on my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xtoad:
Pfff.

No you are 'focused' on claiming user error and implying everyone experiencing such drain is an idiot. You come off as arrogant without demonstrating actual knowledge, and are frequently proved wrong in many threads.

No one is interested in your negativity. Nothing to contribute? eff away, then.

Thanks too Ramad for his attempts and accessibility.

I have DLed the kernel, but have made the journey back to Froyo. :)

I am following with interest though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ok youve started it - let me see those posts that proves me wrong FREQUENTLY =)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
The auto-rotate disabled method is really work. I don't have any drain after playing Asphalt 6, Samuri2: vengeance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] unbekannt123:
Same for me. I experienced no more battery drain issues with auto-rotation disabled since I disabled it about one week ago :).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i belive if you would browse forum a bit more to froyo you would find them bugs related to autorotation, why did they apear and how to fix them

its not gb related,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toast3r95:
Hi Ramad,

I'm reporting back after a second day of testing your kernel and the news are not as good as yesterday.

For about 18 to 19 hours my battery went from 100% to roughly 95% which was very impressive but during the last 3 or 4 hours it dropped down to 31%. Of course, I didn't use my phone at all during the night, hence a low consumption but I used it pretty much the same way this morning and this afternoon and the drop really occured in the afternoon.

I can't remember doing anything specific this afternoon that would trigger this drop but I might be wrong. Is there a way to see more precisely than with the battery usage what could have used that much battery in such a short time?

Or maybe (wild guess here) the battery goes down quicker after a certain point.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Thank you very much for testing and reporting back :)

I don't think that the phone only used 5% of the battery in 18-19 hours, I think that the device did not measure the real voltage of the battery or the usage correctly for some time then it did show the real result later.

Please take a look at 'Android OS' battery usage, this is what we are interested in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toast3r95:
Hi Ramad,

You're probably right but my assertion is based on the curve displayed in Battery usage.

Regarding Android OS, I looked at it several time in the morning and it was at about 2 to 3%. Now it reaches 23%.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
This problem has gone in 2.3.4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
aint that a bit too fast to declare it after about 24h only?

i saw few posts already stating the opposite =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
Im after 20 hours of usage, 92% battery left. Draining is gone forever thanks to Samsung or Googles 2.3.4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
Only if it would be looking like AWESOMENESS and kernel speed high burning CPU to the sky :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Yep I have been playing games and opening different apps and yet it seems like it is already fixed in 2.3.4 (Android OS issue only, not the general battery drain issue).

By the way Ramad we highly respect you, your intellect and your effort. Thank you for trying to help us solve this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aljosko:
We should just flash new 2.3.4 version for better performance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
May be a moot point now since 2.3.4 has been leaked but after a couple day of testing, I have not had android OS battery drain with the kernel Ramad posted a few pages back. Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Thanks my friend, this respect goes both ways.

As I wrote earlier in this thread, it is a try and I'm not sorry having used time on it.

Thanks for taking time to test and feedback, but we have just had a member that reported Android OS battery drain on this Kernel, so I don't know, but it's good that some have reported that the new GB 2.3.4 does have this bug fixed, it's good news if it holds. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
Really want to see about the draining report on 2.3.4. Anyway, I glad that this problem has been fixed. I can now play my gameloft collection, tegra2 games and other games without Android OS battery drain.

I has already tested it with asphalt 6 , samuri 2, Nova 2, google maps, and I have no battery drain after closing such programs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toast3r95:
I'm back to continue reporting on my experience with Ramad's Kernel:

I read somewhere on XDA somebody suggesting to reboot the phone as soon as Android OS goes over 12%.

When I tried it in the afternoon my battery was down at 31% and my android OS was at 25%.

This morning my battery shows 27% remaining and Android OS is slowly decreasing (18% at this moment). The curve has been close from flat again since then.

I am no specialist but, considering the sudden drop I had, It seems to me that the kernel is not fixing my drain issue.

This being said with all due respect to Ramad and his great job.

However, rebooting the device when the Android OS goes too high seems to be a good workaround.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocMarc73:
Drain is fixed by flashing 2.3.4 aka XXJVP.

I 'm out of here. Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg767:
For me FuguMod BE Ultra 4 solved the Android OS bug, but since then I am back to Darky 10.1 RE + DC2.6 and haven't restored app data, only apps and this gives even better battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wweeping:
sounds interesting
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sarvesh29:
Am doing okay with sephamore kernel. Fugu was working great but on JVP started to have problems even though i did factory reset when flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
I checked stock and darkys 2.5 and fugumod, it is not kernel problem. Read more, every gameloft game triggers this problem for me and every gignerbread rom. Quick "solution" is to reboot but reboot itself is battery hungry and what if i wanted to play something again ? this is not application problem its gingerbread itself.

This is not happening on any froyo i put...

I have flashed again to check on fugu to be 100% sure...

Darky RE + fugumod ultra from https://faramir.eriador.org/r/zImage-ultra + disabled fast dormacy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zadusimple:
The BUG appeared for me last night and it was pretty bad, i think i will move back to stable FROYO till the time its all been fixed in GB, this important as if the bug appears at a critical time like if i am travelling and no port to charge i will be in a mess!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
Thanks, but I prefer to stay with kernel without any ugly fishes appearing on the startup screen! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snowfallen:
Bug appears, as

many

have said it, after running

Gameloft games

and certain apps, but mostly it appears after exiting Gameloft games (my experience). Hasn/t happened after closing Angry Birds tho :).

I need to mention that all the Gameloft games I used are

original

, bought from Gameloft, to eliminate any "you used cracked games didn't you lol" comments.

As far as my system in concerned, I'm using a stock JVH, no modifications,

no custom kernel

, no MODs. Just a simple, no-brainer, Odin flash of JVH.

Also tried to reproduce the bug by reflashing to 2.2.1 and it didn`t happen. The games that caused battery drain didn`t cause any on 2.2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
well i can run any game and app wo drain so can you foillow the instruction and give me feedback? after playing 'one of the drain games' of course

Will do later on tonight, when I get home from work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
I know now that to trigger draining i didnt even have to wait so much with game running. I triggered draining after just loading the game map and exit 10s later (sacred oddysey). So 10s of gameplay and 40 minutes of Android OS going UP to 20% and than i did reboot to shut it down. My point is: it is software issue.

Maybe not all i9000 are same, mine is new 8GB model, 1 month old and i use armani battery that is even younger.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snowfallen:
Mine is older, bought july last year...so doesn't make a difference, most likely it's a software issue as you say.

Have you tried what $omator suggested? To run logcat and see if that line reappears during the heavy draining? I would try it myself but I`m at work atm and got no adb here :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
I have found temporary FIX !! disabling auto rotation and my phone is sleeping now !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you can try via terminal emulator - free app from market =)

irrelevant/placebo =) at 48h stats ive got sensors running even longer then my display and as i said many times have no bat trouble
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deathst:
You got Sensors running longer than your display? So your phone was never asleep?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i had something like 20h of sensors on - battery would not hold that =)

and i have 3rd day passed now and still running
[Galaxy S I9000 General] santope:
Ramad,

I am using your ROM JVO. Before that JVB, before that Froyo.

Since JVB I do get this Android OS thing, infrequently (once a week?).

Out of the blue, the battery usage line (from the settings menu) does a sharp turn down, and Android OS becomes the n. 1 battery consumer.

I am not imagining, and it is pretty clear when it happens. If you turn the phone off and on, it goes away, the consumption line goes back to the normal, much flatter slope.

No games, mostly stock apps, plus TuneIn Radio, FileExpert, TouchCalendar, Skype, NoLock. First time I saw it I was after using Skype, I thought "ahah!" but then I unistalled Skype, and it happened again in a few days.

Clearly a Gingerbread thing, IMHO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
same with me but i can not make my phone drain =)

and the info you provide is less then usable ;)

take a look at my bat % reported +3% on idle =P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
It's clear that a software is the cause to make the CPU usage so high that it runs at highest frequency... I think that I'm on the right track. I normally compile the Kernel that I use on my device, I have never had a battery draining issue, I know the setting that I use so I might be able to say what is the cause of this...remember that I said that I may, may not is also valid here. :)

He doesn't have the 'drain' and spends most of his time trying to disprove it and suggest it is user error. However, it's clearly not the case. I firmly believe there are some intelligent users who have it. :rolleyes:

In any case, if you have to jump through hoops resetting, restoring, etc your phone to make it usable, Froyo is better.

This is what i did on DXJV9 And my battery is stable.

Non-Root Changes:

Don't use Daliy briefing Widgets.	- Remove any Daily briefing widget

Disable Microsoft Exchange Sync completely. - Setting->Account & Sync -> Exchange Account -> untick all Sync

Wifi sleep Setting to Turn off when Screen off - Setting->Wireless and Network->Wi-fi Setting-> (menu button)->Advanced->Wi-Fi Sleep Policy-> When	screen turns off

Enable USB debugging -Setting->Applications->development->Check USB debugging

Root Changes:

Removed Possible Rogue Apps - Using root explorer, removed Signin.apk, syncmldm.apk and wssynmlnps.apk along with their .odex

Changed Wi-Fi Scanning frequency to 120 Seconds -Using root explorer, change lines in /system/build.prop ( wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120 )

after upgrade to BE4,android OS problem solved..

but SOD problem arise..

2 times Screen of death so far :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
I only have an assumption regarding some Kernel settings, I could be right or wrong.

As I wrote earlier so I do compile the Kernel I use on my device with some settings changed from stock Kernel, you can try it if you want and see if it solves the problem.

What is BE4?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
maestro =)

do not remove - just do not add to 'homescreen' - also all sort of facebook twitter widgets are yucky as they are 'animated' and needs sync in order to be uptodate all the time

leave those that you realy use - and set their sync every 30 min or 1h - and think about it - do you realy need sync? =)

you can have wifi / data sync always on and 1% 'drain' for 8h - and rememberthat setting this will sleep screen when it goes off after 15 minutes - so if you will turn screen off and turn it back after 20 minutes wifi will be in sleep mode only for 5 minutes not 20...

why what for?

why what for??

that one is usefull, but works only if you have any netwoek added to list and you are not in its range
